Before we knew it, we arrived at the Double Ninth Festival.
At dawn that day, Grandma Wang put chrysanthemum branches and leaves on the doors and windows, saying that they could remove evil and filth and attract good luck.
Yinqi and several other elder brothers followed the old man to the palace to pray for blessings, worship gods and ancestors, and then have a banquet to pray for longevity. They probably won't be able to come back for a while.
Guar Jiayinan, the direct descendant of Fujin, specially arranged a banquet in the garden and invited the sisters in the mansion to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the garden.
When Yuwen came to Xinuang Pavilion to invite Wanyue to the banquet, Wanyue was still eating breakfast slowly, and Yuzhi led Yuwen into Xinuan Pavilion.
Yuwen stepped forward and bowed, then looked up at Wanyue's cheek, bit her lip, and boldly said: "Slave Yuwen, please see Fu Jin. Fu Jin is hosting a banquet in the garden today and invites you.
Let’s go together to enjoy the chrysanthemums.”
After hearing this, Wanyue looked up and saw that it was Yuwen. She was surprised at first. After all, Yuwen was her personal maid in the previous life. In this life, she became Xifujin because of her identity, and Yuwen became Guar Jiayinan.
This made Wanyue feel quite sorry for her, and she looked at Yuwen with a rather hesitant look.
Yuwen saw Xiang Fujin and his wife Tara looking at her hesitantly, and said anxiously: "Zi Fujin, other young masters in the mansion will also go, and I hope Xiang Fujin won't miss the time."
After saying this, Yuwen carefully raised her head and observed Wanyue's expression. She thought that Fujin would hesitate to answer her words again. Unexpectedly, Wanyue just raised her eyes and smiled at her, and then replied: "
You go back and report to your direct descendant Fujin, and I will go to the garden on time for the banquet."
Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief, and without much hesitation, Fu Shen slowly exited Xinuang Pavilion. Originally, she thought she would have to spend a lot of time convincing Xi Fujin, but she didn't expect that she agreed so quickly.
Then he turned around and walked towards the west side hall of Fujin Liu Jiamiaoyin, with almost no delay.
As soon as Si Shi arrived, Wanyue led Nanny Zhang to the garden. When she arrived at the garden, Liu Jiamiaoyin had already led Hongsheng and Junhua there. She saw Wanyue coming to take care of Hongsheng and Junhua's wet nurse Fu.
He turned around and saluted her.
Before Su Xin and Zhou Gege arrived, Wanyue walked up to Hong Sheng, raised her hand and grabbed Hong Sheng's little hand and shook it. The little guy stared at her eyes and looked at Wanyue with her chubby little face.
Smiling, Liu Jiamiaoyin smiled brightly when she saw this: "Sister, this boy Hongsheng seems to like my sister very much. He laughs when he sees her."
Wanyue was also very happy. A smile appeared on her cheeks and she replied: "Hongsheng is a lovable kid. My sister is lucky."
Seeing that the two seemed to be having a good conversation, Guar Jia Yinan also came over and hugged Hong Sheng from the wet nurse's hand. Liu Jiamiaoyin immediately stared at her with wide eyes. Guar Jia Yinan put Hong Sheng in the nurse's hand.
On his own arm, he lowered his head to see how the child Hongsheng was doing.
She stared at Hong Sheng, but she saw the child Hong Sheng looking at her with an innocent face, raising his hand to suck his finger, and drooling from the corner of his mouth. She didn't see what was so lovable about this child, so she turned Hong Sheng away.
It was returned to the wet nurse.
Liu Jiamiaoyin's worried heart was finally relieved. She winked at the wet nurse, and the wet nurse led Hong Sheng away with understanding.
Guan Er Jia Yinan glanced at it and said nothing.
At this time, Su Xin and Zhou Gege arrived late. When they saw the direct Fujin and the two side Fujins, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"The two sisters are really enjoying themselves. It's almost three o'clock...let's get up." Guar Jiayinan asked them to get up, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Su Xin glanced at Zhou Gege on the side. If she hadn't pulled her along for a chat, she wouldn't have come to the garden so late to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet.
Zhou Gege's face was stern, "I kept my sister waiting for a long time. It's all because I forgot the time and chatted with Sister Bai for a while."
Guar Jiayinan hummed, and then nodded calmly. She raised her eyes to look at the sky, and then said to the sisters around her: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, the chrysanthemums in the house are blooming very well, and I have specially invited my sister. Let’s come and watch.”
After hearing her words, several people nodded and smiled slightly.
The sky at the moment is as blue as blue, and the sun is shining brightly, which makes people feel warm. In addition, the scenery of the garden of Belle Mansion is extremely beautiful. Several pots of chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom. There are phoenixes fluttering their feathers, red clothes and green clothes. Ten-foot-long hanging curtains, red plum blossoms with snowdrops, Buddha dust on their manes, willows and moonlight on the West Lake, etc., are countless. The pots are all of fine species, which are very beautiful. Several people admired them for a while.
"The chrysanthemum is a hermit among flowers, but also a gentleman among flowers. It is otherworldly, beautiful but not demonic. Its colors include red, green, white, purple, yellow, etc. It is very special, and it also has a bit of aloofness and non-flattery. The smell of Bud makes everyone admire." Wanyue looked at the colorful chrysanthemums in the garden and sighed for a moment, sighing that her previous life seemed to be as independent as the chrysanthemums.
After hearing this, Zhou Gege frowned unconsciously: "Why did the chrysanthemum become a hermit among flowers?"
"Because of its clean and pure qualities, Qu Yuan once said, 'Drinking magnolias in the morning will make them fall into dew, and eating autumn chrysanthemums in the evening will make them fall.' This sentence also praises the noble qualities of chrysanthemums. This shows that the ancients also liked chrysanthemums very much. ." Wanyue was stunned for a moment. The women in the backyard were not well-educated, so it was understandable that Zhou Gege didn't understand, so she explained.
After Wanyue finished speaking, Guar Jiayinan gave Wanyue a meaningful look. I am afraid that this side Fujin's knowledge is not inferior to hers.
"Sister is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but I feel that I am ignorant." Zhou Gege envied people who spoke well from the bottom of her heart, but because she didn't even recognize the words, she looked envious of Wanyue on her face.
Su Xin stood aside. In such a festive occasion, everyone was saying compliments, and she seemed like an outlier.
Guar Jia Yinan glanced at Liu Jia's family, Xi Fujin, who was still taking care of the two children, and thought for a moment. Now she, two other Xiang Fujins, a concubine Fujin and a princess were added to the house. There are no other concubines. Compared with the backyards of other adult elders, the number of people in the backyard of the fifth elder brother Yinqi is the smallest. She is a little worried. According to this trend, new people may come to the palace, and she must rush. Cheng Chong gets pregnant again before the new person comes.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly. Wanyue raised her head and glanced at her in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, I seemed to have seen Aunt Gui in Dongnuan Pavilion a few days ago. Why don't I see her here today?" "
Guar Jiayinan didn't think much after hearing this, but her face darkened, and she just replied in a low voice: "Aunt Gui is recuperating at my mother's house. My sister must have seen it wrong."
Wanyue was stunned, and then an idea came to her mind.
"That's it." After a while, Wanyue nodded with relief.
Guar Jia Yinan's heart was in a state of confusion. She didn't expect that Tala Wanyue would ask her this question, so she quickly changed the subject, "It must be getting late, let's go to the pavilion to have some snacks."
"Sister." When Su Xin was about to enter the pavilion, she called Wanyue softly and signaled Wanyue to go aside with her to talk.
Su Xin told Wanyue the news about Zhou Gege's chat with her. Wanyue was amazed after hearing this, with a look of disbelief on her face.
After eating snacks intermittently for more than an hour, after the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, Wanyue took Su Xin to Xinuang Pavilion. Yu Zhi frowned deeply when she saw Bai Jia Suxin, the concubine of the Jin Dynasty.
