The guests who came today are all in Baihua Garden.
There are many ladies and ladies from various families here.
The male guests were received by Rong Yu's brothers, and the younger men were received by Rong Yu's eldest son Dabao.
Of course, Third Young Master Chu was also helping. Having Third Young Master, a well-rounded person, also relieved Dabao from a lot of pressure.
When everyone took a look, Rong Yu's wife Lin was accompanied by a little girl with very delicate features. They all knew Liu Huanyan, so this little girl was Rong Hou's precious daughter Liu An'an. Of course, at the banquet at Rongguo Duke's mansion, Some ladies and ladies have already met them.
Mrs. Lin introduced a familiar lady and lady to Liu Anan.
When everyone saw it, they were secretly shocked. Who just said that this little girl might not know Chinese characters?
Who said this little girl doesn't know etiquette?
Who said this little girl can't be on the stage?
Stand up and make sure you don't beat him to death!
There are not too many girls like this!
She couldn't get on the stage, but she fought tooth and nail to seek justice for her mother. For this reason, this girl is admirable!
After Mrs. Lin finished the introduction, she asked Liu Huanyan to accompany Liu Anan. After all, Huanyan also knew many little girls, so we could chat together.
Mrs. Lin went to work.
Before going out, Mrs. Xu repeatedly told Liu Huanyan to take good care of her sister. Besides, there were Grandma Jin and Qing Yi nearby.
In her previous life, Liu An'an had seen a lot of big things in the world, and she had also experienced the banquet of the Chu family in Songjiang Prefecture, so today's scene really couldn't trouble her.
It didn't take long for me to get along with these little girls.
"Are you Liu An'an?" A clear voice came.
Liu Anan raised his head and two ladies came over.
The person who spoke was a girl in green clothes who was a few years older than herself. She was pretty, but she didn't recognize her.
Liu Huanyan whispered: "The girl in green is from the Li family, and the fatter girl next to her is Gao Yingying, the legitimate daughter of Mr. Gao, the minister of Honglu Temple."
Li family?
Liu Anan's heart moved.
The Li family in the capital, Queen Mother Li!
Liu Anan was a little shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "I am Liu Anan. Hello, ladies."
The fatter girl also smiled, "My name is Gao Yingying, and this is Li Lingxue, the granddaughter of Li Shoufu."
"Miss Gao, Miss Li." Liu Anan greeted generously.
"What are you talking about? I heard it's really lively here from afar." Gao Yingying asked with a smile.
"We are talking about the new balm from the Chu Family Jade Muscle Pavilion." A girl with big eyes replied.
So the little girls continued chatting together, and Gao Yingying naturally joined in. Only Li Lingxue didn't interrupt much.
She glanced at Liu Anan from time to time.
Liu Anan felt it, but she pretended not to know. She didn't know what Li Lingxue wanted to do, so she ignored it for now.
But the Queen Mother Li's family, even Brother Sheng's family died at the hands of the Li family, so Liu An'an naturally didn't have a good impression of Li Lingxue.
I was still wondering, why did my father invite the Li family here?
In fact, it was not Rong Jue who invited him. The Rong family and the Li family are not the same people at all. How could the Rong family from a noble family be in the same boat as the Li family!
Li Lingxue came with Miss Gao. She was a guest when she came in. Mrs. Lin couldn't possibly drive Li Lingxue out.
Li Lingxue came here for Chu Xuan. She was eighteen years old and had never been engaged.
The Li family is having a hard time now, not just because of money, but because the Emperor has dealt with the Li family so hard that Queen Mother Li is now like a tiger that has lost its teeth in the palace.
Chu Xuan is like the God of Wealth in Daqi.
The Li family needs money-making talents like the Third Young Master, and if they want to indirectly hook up with Liu Anan through Chu Xuan, they are tantamount to hooking up with the Liu family and the Rong family.
Empress Dowager Li has always been interested in a virtuous king because she has no children.
King Xian is the second son of the late emperor. His concubine and the Queen Mother are both daughters of the Li family. Prince Xin’s concubine is Concubine Yu, who is the fourth son of the late emperor.
What Empress Dowager Li needed was an obedient emperor, so that she could keep the Li family wealthy for at least fifty years. However, at that time, Prince Xin and the Queen Mother were not of the same mind, and the Queen Mother was unable to control Prince Xin, so she suppressed Prince Xin.
Later, Lian Sheng also discovered that the trajectory of this life was somewhat different from the previous life.
Although it took a lot of effort for Prince Xin to ascend to the throne, Prince Xin did not raise his troops to sway the emperor. Perhaps it was because his rebirth changed some of the trajectories of his previous life.
However, after Prince Xin ascended the throne, he started to deal with Queen Mother Li's minions as he did in his previous life. He would not rush back to Beijing, and he would not meet the wise king or Li Lingxue.
The fourth prince, the grandson of the emperor, who had secretly communicated with Li Lingxue in the past, had long since ceased to exist due to the late emperor's abdication and King Xin's ascension to the throne.
But a wise king is still a wise king. As virtuous and polite as his name suggests, he is actually a wolf in human skin.
I wonder who Li Lingxue is eyeing in this life.
Lian Sheng guessed right. Since he would not return to Beijing rashly, Li Lingxue's goal really changed.
Li Lingxue sat for a while and realized that Liu Anan didn't like her.
For Li Lingxue, who was born in the Li family, the pride engraved in her bones would not let her lower her head to please others, especially Liu Anan, who grew up in the countryside.
So, Li Lingxue got up and left as an excuse to take a look around the garden.
The purpose of her coming today was to get close to Chu Xuan.
There is a large lotus in the garden of Dingguohou Mansion. It is the time when the lotus is in full bloom. A girl suggested to see the lotus.
These little girls rushed to the lotus pond excitedly.
Gao Yingying had a lively temperament, so she took Liu Anan with her, and Liu Anan did not displease her.
This pond is quite large, with a small bridge on it and a small hexagonal pavilion. The pond is covered with large lotus flowers, which is really beautiful.
There are also many ladies around the pool, and in the bamboo forest not far away, the male guests are also chatting.
There were also several young men standing and chatting by the pool.
Liu An'an, Liu Huanyan, Miss Gao and several other little girls went up to the small bridge. Grandma Jin stayed by the pond, and Qing Yi followed her girl.
The little girls were chattering on the bridge, and then a little maid hurried up from the other end of the bridge.
Everyone didn't pay attention, because when the ladies and ladies of each family went to the banquet, there must be maids and mothers-in-law around them. Maybe some maid from some family came to look for their wives or ladies.
The little maid looked really anxious. She walked very quickly and rushed towards the girls on the bridge.
The bridge is not wide, but it is no problem for two people to walk side by side.
No one thought that the little maid might have been in a hurry and suddenly lost her balance and fell to the side.
What a coincidence, the direction of the fall happened to be on the side of Liu Anan and Liu Huanyan. Liu Anan knew how to dive, and she knew that Liu Huanyan was a landlubber.
Qing Yi stepped forward and reached out to grab his girl.
Unexpectedly, Liu Anan pushed Liu Huanyan to Qingyi and fell into the lotus pond.
"It's not good! Someone fell into the water! Liu Anan fell into the water!" Several girls shouted loudly in fright.
Not far away, a man jumped into the water after hearing the sound, and swam hard in the direction where Liu Anan fell into the water.
Qing Yi roared in a low voice: "Miss Huanyan, stay still!"
After saying that, he jumped into the lotus pond.
