There is a winding verandah in Liufeng Garden, planted with flowers. It is winter now, so peonies and other flowers are naturally missing, but there are still some evergreen plants and potted camellias, narcissus, etc., which are even beautiful.
It can be imagined that in midsummer, when the wind is blowing and the rain is falling outside, this corridor is naturally a sight to behold. Listening to the wind and admiring the beautiful scenery, it is not like a wind garden.
When she and the eldest grandson's consort were passing by the corridor, she casually said what she was thinking. The eldest grandson's consort immediately looked at her with wide eyes and a strange look on his face.
Shen Mingzhu looked at him in surprise and immediately said: "My maid is so presumptuous."
"No," the eldest son-in-law shook his head, "What Miss Shen said is exactly what the princess and I think. The eldest lady is Lan Xinhuizhi, with good knowledge."
When people say this, it can be regarded as boasting. Shen Mingzhu is naturally embarrassed to say that it is nothing, and just smiles: "The garden is a small space, that is, flowers, potted plants, verandas, rockeries, running water, etc. are used to decorate it. Everyone has the same idea." Yes, it’s just a slight difference.”
The eldest grandson's consort smiled and said: "Although it is said so, some people make the same thing elegantly, while others make it tacky. Miss Shen has to admit it."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and arrived at the main room.
A weeping willow with fallen leaves and a frozen river are past the Sanjian main house, one light and two dark, with two side rooms and a pavilion in front. There is no east-west compartment in the yard, but a flower stand on the east side. , there is a swing on the west side, presumably the servant’s residence is in the backyard.
The eldest grandson's consort smiled and said: "I feel wronged that Miss Shen lives here."
Shen Mingzhu thanked her hurriedly, "It's very nice here. Thank you consort and princess for taking the trouble."
The eldest grandson's consort called the women and maids who were waiting here to kowtow to Shen Mingzhu, asking her to get used to it first and tidy up a few things while he went to do other things.
Shen Mingzhu didn't want to do anything, so she had to ask the girl to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get her supplies and clothes.
After just sitting for a while, the eldest princess sent someone to invite her to a banquet.
The banquet was held in the conservatory of the flower hall, where the earth dragon was burning and it was very warm.
Shen Mingzhu took Biyun and other girls and the old lady to follow the old lady who led the way, and saw several people standing there looking at the wintersweet flowers, and talking at the same time.
The ones she knew were Xiao Che, Xiao Run, and Xiao Ze, and there were also a few young men and women she didn't know. They were all well-dressed and looked like they were royal children.
After a moment of hesitation, Shen Mingzhu stepped forward and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, while guessing why the eldest princess asked her to come. It was definitely not to stay for two days, was it just to persuade the eldest son Sun Xian? She sneered.
Xiao Che had a look of excitement on his face, but he forced himself to endure it, maintaining his calm demeanor, tapping his chin slightly, and saying nothing.
Xiao Run couldn't help but want to ask how Shen Yunluo was doing. Since the last time they said goodbye, he could hardly see Shen Yunluo.
"Everything is fine at home."
Shen Mingzhu guessed what he meant at once. If you ask Shen Can, you can see him every day when he goes to court and enters the palace. If you ask Mrs. Liu and the old lady, then just tell him straight away. If you talk about home, don't you mean Shen Can? Yunluo?
Shen Mingzhu sneered in her heart and said calmly: "Everything remains the same. Your Highness misses you."
When Xiao Ze heard their greetings, he became impatient and shouted: "Shen Mingzhu, you have such a big air.
