The next day, Geng Xingbing and Geng Xingyu appeared at the Chuihua Gate together, but did not see Geng Xingshui.

Geng Xingbing wore a tea-white orchid-patterned top coat and a sky-blue moonlight skirt with an orchid pattern embroidered on the skirt. She wore an orchid-style jade hairpin on her head and a pair of orchid-patterned jade earrings in her ears. The whole person looked elegant, refined, decent and generous. ;

Geng Xingyu wore a begonia red butterfly flower dress with a red gold butterfly hairpin on her head. She was well-dressed, and her clothes and jewelry were all old items that she had worn several times.

Geng Xingbing's eyes were bright and shining, and the shining light almost made it impossible for Geng Xingshuang to look directly.

Geng Xingyu's eyes were half-cast, and his shoulders were slightly slumped. Today, the two sisters looked like fireflies against the bright moon, both in their dress and posture.

Geng Xingshuang blinked her eyes. She was wearing one of the spring clothes that Mingshang Pavilion was about to sell today. She was also wearing embroidered shoes. She was wearing a jade-colored upper garment and a smoky begonia skirt, which made her skin white and her eyes bright and teeth white. Geng Xingshuang smiled. Then he greeted Geng Xingbing and Geng Xingyu.

Geng Xingchen also came, and the four sisters got on the carriage together.

The uncle's mansion now only has three carriages. Geng Cheng needs to secure one for his mission, so there are only two left. The only one left in the mansion today is for Geng Cheng's daily use.

The four girls, each with a maid, were barely enough for two carriages.

In the Geng family, except for this kind of favor banquet, which is regarded as a public event, only the public carriage can be used. If the others want to go out, they can only find a carriage or a sedan chair by themselves.

Geng Xingbing and Geng Xingyu shared a carriage, while Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen got into the rear one.

"Fifth...no, Sixth Sister, do you feel that there is something wrong with Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister today?"

As soon as she got on the carriage, Geng Xingchen spoke. She had just looked at Geng Xingbing and Geng Xingyu several times to make sure that what she felt was right.

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "There is something wrong."

"That is, although I rarely went out with them in the past, the few times the fourth sister dressed up were very simple and elegant. Although the fifth sister was not dressed up, she was not dressed so low-key like today. She was like a foil. Fourth Sister’s Green Leaves.”

"Clothing is one thing." Geng Xingshuang recalled the expressions of the two of them just now, "The fourth sister seems to be in a particularly high mood today, and she is full of energy. The fifth sister is just the opposite, as wilted as a dried eggplant."

Jinbao and Bai Zhi both laughed out loud at Geng Xingshuang's words.

"Yes, that's it." Geng Xingchen agreed repeatedly.

However, Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen thought for a while and couldn't guess why the two concubine sisters were in such a situation, so they stopped guessing.

"Seventh sister, after we go to the Yang family, it's best for us not to separate." Geng Xingshuang explained.

At this banquet, she felt a little strange, both from the invitation and the behavior of Geng Xingbing and others.

Abnormality is a monster, so it’s better to be careful.

Geng Xingchen naturally agreed.

In fact, what Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen didn't know was that even her mother Yao didn't know much about Geng Xingbing's high spirits today.

"You said the fourth girl wore newly made clothes today and looked very beautiful?" Yao asked Qiuye.

Qiuye nodded, "Well, I saw it with my own eyes when the fourth girl went out. Madam, would you like to call Shen Liu and ask?"

Due to the sharp decrease in the number of servants in the Anping Mansion, there are no longer clear distinctions between first-class maids, second-class maids, third-class maids, and junior maids as before. In the current Anping Mansion, except for the eldest maid who personally serves the master, the rest They are all little maids.

Shen Liu was originally a maid from Yinghe Courtyard, but due to Shen Shui becoming the third girl in the uncle's house, there was one less maid in Geng Xing's igloo, so Yao chose one of the maids to come to her room.

It's just that the original name of Shen Liu was not this. It was temporarily changed to this name by Yao. It seems to be a continuation of the original name of Shen Shui, but the character "Liu" at the end is very meaningful.

You must know that Shen Shui's biological mother is named Tan Qingliu.

As a result, no one in the entire uncle's house knew that the second wife was very taboo about Shen Shui's identity.

But even without this name, everyone can still see the attitude of the second wife.

Yao shook her head, "No need, I will ask Sister Bing personally when she comes back."

Yao has already made a guess in her mind, but this guess makes her feel sorry for her daughter. When her daughter comes back, she will tell them the couple's arrangements for Geng Xingshui. The ranking of teeth is the only thing she can take away. The rest she will not and cannot Take anything from your daughter.

Therefore, her daughter, the legitimate daughter of Anping House, does not need to wrong herself.

The four sisters of the Geng family arrived at the Yang Mansion on Changning Street quite early, but what Geng Xingshuang didn't expect was that today's flower viewing banquet was divided into flower viewing in the outer courtyard and flower viewing in the inner courtyard.

In the outer courtyard, the male masters of the Yang family invited relatives and friends, most of whom were young masters.

In the inner courtyard are the girls invited by the girls of the Yang family. The carriages of the female guests are led directly to the hanging flower gate.

After getting off the carriage, Geng Xingshuang saw the third girl Yang Fu, the fifth girl Yang Ruzheng and Geng Xingbing and Geng Xingyu chatting. Seeing her and Geng Xingchen, Yang Fu's eyes flashed, her expression seemed a bit complicated, but she still came up to her immediately. .

"Sister Shuang, Sister Chen, you are here. Please come in quickly. The garden looks beautiful today, it is colorful."

Although the greeting was a bit stiff, it was better than before.

Could it be that everyone has changed their gender today? Geng Xingshuang's doubts became even greater and she became more vigilant.

"Seventh sister and I will go to greet the old lady first, and then go to the back garden. I know the way. There are many guests today, and the two sisters must be very busy, so we won't delay you."

Miss Yang San is sixteen years old this year, and Miss Yang Wu is the same age as Geng Xingshuang, but older than Geng Xingshuang by a few months.

There were indeed a lot of guests today. As soon as they got off the carriage, four more carriages drove in one after another from the hanging flower gate. A total of five ladies and their respective maids got out. Suddenly, the hanging flower gate was full of flowers and bustling.

Among these five ladies, I have met two of them, Geng Xingshuang, but I am not familiar with them.

One is Mrs. Yang’s maiden niece named Chu Yarou. In Geng Xingshuang’s only two meetings with her, the impression left by Geng Xingshuang of Miss Chu is consistent with her name. She is gentle and elegant, and she is a very good person. An easy person to get along with.

Geng Xingshuang smiled at her and said hello, and the other party smiled back at her.

The other girl was Huai Xin, the sister of Mrs. Yang's mistress, Huai Shi. She was a close friend of Yang Fu and had a close relationship with her. Since Yang Fu and Geng Xingshuang were not close, she intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance.

Geng Xingshuang didn't take it seriously. She really liked making friends, but she had to make friends with people who had similar interests to her. She was not in a state where she needed to make friends in a hurry.

As for the other three girls, Geng Xingshuang didn't know her, but one of them was wearing a goose-yellow silk brocade dress, a floor-length skirt embroidered with rose red gold silk and large rose flowers, and a large red gold flower on her head. A ruby ​​begonia flower hairpin, a pair of red gold ruby ​​rose flower earrings on her ears, a flower hairpin on her forehead, and a gold and jade necklace around her neck. The whole person is radiant and dazzling.

It sucked several times more semen than Geng Xingbing who was dressed up today.
