Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Two days of effort passed in an instant. After breakfast this morning, Chunxing and Hongyu were busy preparing for Lian Fangzhou's makeup. Today, I am going to Qiuxing Temple for a banquet.

This was the first time Lian Fangzhou appeared in front of everyone. He went to a place where the Buddhist monastery was clean, and his outfit was mainly elegant.

Wearing a long pleated skirt with a light blue satin and grape pattern piping; a dark blue silk satin on the dark side, wearing gold inlays Peach hairpins, white jade hairpins with blessing patterns, beaded gold earrings, white jade bracelets, a white fish-shaped jade pendant on the waist skirt, and a bell cloak with light smoke and purple embroidered plum branches.

Looking at the dress of the whole body, Lian Fangzhou couldn't help laughing: "This south has the benefits of the south. If it is in the capital, it will be snowing at this time, so how can I wear it like this!"

Hong Yu curled his lips and said, "If this place doesn't have any benefits, it would be really wrong! No matter how cold it is in the capital, it won't be so fearful!"

Even Fangzhou laughed, and said with a smile: "Or, I ask someone to take you back to Beijing to see your house?"

"Don't!" Hongyu hurriedly smiled: "Where the madam is, the servants are there, there is no one in Beijing, and I will be suffocated when I go back!"

Dressed properly for the time, Shi Shiran, the master and servant, went out.

Bi Tao, the wife of General Xiao, also dressed up with practicality. The lilac-colored dress was elegant and pretty, and the bun was dazzling with a gold hairpin studded with rubies, especially dazzling.

When Lian Fangzhou was waiting for her to come out, she was just about to come over and ask her to be walking in the patio, making two trips into one place, and then they talked and laughed and took the car at the second door.

Today I left Chun Xing and Mother Lin with a few mature guard houses, taking care of Xu'er, and following Lian Fangzhou except Hongyu, Qinghe, Yingchun, Panxia and the outer courtyard, two useful mothers, three or four running errands Miscellaneous maid, there was another local servant maid the day before yesterday. Several people were looking for a relationship and wanted to do an errand that "showed his face" in front of the master and wanted to follow along. After Lian Fangzhou knew about it, he signaled Hongyu and others to agree to three, plus the outer courtyard There are seven or eight guards, and there are about twenty people in total.

The guards of the family rode horses, and the maidservants also rode in cars. Including Fangzhou Bitao's car, a total of three carriages went out of the city to Qiuxing Temple neatly.

The back mountain of the Qiuxing Temple was visited every year by local wealthy families, so it was kept very clean.

However, the wild interest is still preserved everywhere. On the hillside, countless maple leaves are dripping brightly. At the foot of the mountain are large expanses of undefeated wild chrysanthemums. The small flowers have yellow pistils and purple petals. The victory is more, spread out like a carpet, dragging out a purple smoke misty scenery.

The distant mountains and near peaks, with different postures, are verdant and full of green, revealing cleanness and refreshing under the bright sunlight, which makes people forget the commonplace.

The only building is a piece of flat land cleared from the corner of the mountainside on the slope. There is a black tile and red pillar and an uncovered building. People who visit the mountains and enjoy the scenery on weekdays gather here, drink tea and play the piano. Playing chess and chatting are all very interesting.

Especially looking towards the east, a white waterfall pours down from the two high peaks, and a touch of crystal white snow is drawn between the thousands of greens, which is clear and bright.

It is far away from here, and I can only vaguely hear the sound of the waterfall falling, which will only add vocal interest and will never affect people's conversation.

It is early winter, and the waterfall is very small, but from a distance, it is still pleasing to the eye. It can be described as a magical touch.

The male servants all stayed in the temple, and Lian Fangzhou and Bi Tao brought only Hongyu, Panxia and other maidservants a dozen or so and followed the little monk who led the way back to the mountain.

After bypassing the mountains, there was a bright view in front of you, and the beautiful scenery was picturesque. At this time, many people were already here. Among the flowers and under the red leaf trees, the brightly dressed ladies and their maids were playing with flowers, or friends gathered together. Everywhere joking, the ladies are more reserved, all in that square pavilion.

In the foothills and on the slopes, you can see pretty figures with bright clothes and shining hairpins, and there are chuckles and laughter from time to time.

Seeing Lian Fangzhou walked by, the playful and joking maids all looked sideways, or looked at Lian Fangzhou blatantly, or half-concealed, whispering to their ears and whispering.

But no one came forward to greet her, but pretended to be leisurely and leisurely.

This is a silent challenge.

Bi Tao was so angry that she squeezed the kerchief in her hand and whispered: "In a remote country, I really don't know how to do it! If such people are in the capital, they will have to cut their hair one by one and become a sister! What kind of people are willing to take it!"

Lian Fangzhou tilted his head slightly, smiled at her, and said, "It was originally a Hongmen banquet today, don't you think this is already very polite?"

Bi Tao was startled, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

The ladies saw Lian Fangzhou and the lady Xiao talking and laughing, and they didn't take them seriously, but they were a little unhappy. I don't know who led the head, and everyone followed, all going to the four directions on the slope of the mountain. The booth went up.

Suddenly, the pavilion was dressed with fragrant temples, the hairpin ring was shining, and the black pressure was almost overcrowded.

Ladies and young wives can't be as self-willed as the Jiaoji ladies. Seeing Lian Fangzhou coming, they all got up and greeted them. The two leading ones were Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Liang.

The four major families have their own residences. Both Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Deng are the wives of the patrons. Although there are people from Lezheng’s and Fu’s family today, they are not patrons. Therefore, they are also the same as other local gentry such as Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Bai , Mrs. Zhuang, etc. are also behind.

Mrs. Liang's eyes flickered, and she subconsciously looked at Lian Fangzhou, but Lian Fangzhou didn't look at her, just smiled and glanced at everyone.

"My concubine has seen Mrs. Li!" Everyone smiled and saluted.

Lian Fangzhou smiled and raised his hand, and said, "Don't do that! It's just to be out for a relaxing time!" He glanced lightly and smiled again: "It seems that I am late today. Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a long time!"

Everyone smiled and said: "We are all just here too, not long!"

The Luo family, Bai family and other wives saw that Lian Fangzhou treated others with a calm and gentle expression, with smiles on their faces, they couldn't help feeling loose, and they couldn't help but give birth to two points of favor.However, thinking of the rumors in the shops these days, my heart is a little bit turbulent, I really don't know what to think about.

I don’t know who laughed and said: "It’s better to see it than to hear it. Mrs. Li is so graceful, no wonder she hides in the mansion all day and refuses to come out. I must be afraid of being scared by us rough people!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Of course, some laughed unintentionally, and some laughed out of meaning.
