Chapter 97: Flower feast

Xu Qingxue is Cheng Wanmiao's girlfriend, one of her friends in Beijing, so she often walks around.
Cheng Wanmiao went to the Xu family as a guest, and Mrs. Fu was also informed.
The old lady said: "The man who can walk around the house of Xu's house is naturally the son of Xu's family. Undoubtedly, your child is too confused. How come he didn't tell me?"
Cheng Wanmiao blushed and said to me: "Auntie, Wanmiao knows wrong, but Wanmiao didn't know..."
The old lady sighed, knowing that this incident was just an accident, and could not blame her all. It must have been the Xu family who accidentally saw Cheng Wanmiao and fell in love.
Thinking about this, Mrs. Fu still had some complacency in her heart. When Cheng Wanmiao received the Hou Mansion, she was only six or seven years old. It can be said that she was brought up by the old lady herself. The female workers are all groomed according to the standards of famous ladies. In the future, it will be able to support the identity of the mother of Houfu.
It can be said that Cheng Wanmiao is not worse than the noble girls in Shengjing City.
The Xu family son has a vision.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will talk to Mrs. Xu." Mrs. Fu lovingly stroked Cheng Wanmiao's hair and said slowly, "The child Ting Ye has been busy recently, and he hasn't taken care of you, it's him It shouldn’t be. He happened to go back to Beijing very rarely. His family hasn’t been busy for a long time. I’m going to hold a flower feast. Come and help me.

The smile on Cheng Wanmiao's face froze, his head bowed.
She knew that the old lady could not wait...
The old lady wanted to take advantage of Fu Tingye's time in Beijing to fix the two's names. As long as the two arranged to show up together at the flower feast, the ladies and ladies are smart people who know the elegance of the strings and know that she is the owner, and they will not come to raise their relatives in three days.
It's easy to offend people if they refuse much.
Cheng Wanmiao left the old lady's house, only to feel that her steps were deep and shallow, and the whole person was in a trance.
It seems that it is useless for people to raise relatives. She has to make the old lady have to marry her. Is there any way... Is there any way for the old lady to change her mind?
...
Mrs. Xu called her son as soon as she went back.
"I ask you, do you really agree with Cheng Wanmiao?"
Master Xu’s name is Xu Qingran, and he is two years older than his sister Xu Qingxue, at the age of marriage. Therefore, Mrs. Xu has been secretly paying attention to the suitable girl show in these days, preparing to go abroad for the funeral period next spring.
Xu Qingran listened to her mother's question and couldn't help but stunned. "Why, Mrs. Fu doesn't agree?"
Mrs. Xu shook her head and sighed: "Lady Fu said that she would like to stay with Cheng Wanmiao for a few more years."
This is obviously an excuse.
Mrs. Xu glanced at her son, "It can be seen that Cheng Wanmiao did not mention you two with the old lady."
"She is the daughter's family, probably ashamed to speak." Xu Qingran frowned, showing an unhappy look because the marriage was rejected, "I will ask my sister to come out someday, and I will ask her again."
Mrs. Xu is a part-time person, a little unhappy, "Qingran, I think... don't it count? Although she looks handsome, she has a good relationship with Qingxue and a private one with you on the other. Poor, is it good for your mother to look at other girls for you?"
The hearts of the people are partial, and the two give each other privately. She only thinks that the girl seduce her son, but she doesn't think her son is wrong.
Xu Qingran said: "Mother, do you really think I'm in love with Cheng Wanmiao?"
Mrs. Xu was confused by her son's rhetorical question. "If not, why did you make me go to Houfu to say a kiss?"
"What is Cheng Wanmiao? It's just a country lady who is fostered in Houfu, but she is loved by her old lady, and it's not much different from her biological daughter. Mother think about it, if I can marry her, I have something to do, Mr. Fu Will people help? Will Fu Tingye help?"
Xu Qingran carefully analyzed to Mrs. Xu, "Next year is the period of the scientific examination. I will be able to pass the examination. After that, will I be retained as a Beijing official, or will I be sent to the land of poor mountains to be an official?"
Mrs. Xu heard her face, and her face turned white immediately.
She remembered that there was a place where there was famine last year. The hungry villagers robbed the granary of Yamen and smashed the head of the county official! She doesn't want her son to be an official in that kind of place!
"Father is just a courtesy of the courtesy of Libe. Even if he wants to help his son, there is no way, but Fu Tingye is different..." Xu Qingran lowered his voice and said, "No one knows now, Fu Tingye is half of Daqi's emperor, as long as he said something, Our Xu family can fly Huang Tengda!"
The Xu family... Flying Huang Tengda?
Mrs. Xu's heart was inevitable.
The Xu family is in an embarrassing middle class among the ancestors of the family in Shengjing City. It is not an embarrassing middle position.
Mrs. Xu murmured hesitantly: "But... Fu Tingye is not Mrs. Fu's biological son after all. He has rarely come back in recent years. Will he be willing to help us..."
"Mother, don't you understand? As long as Mrs. Fu wants to help, Fu Tingye will definitely help." Xu Qingran's tone was firm and confident, "Unless, he wants to bear the reputation of being unfilial."
Daqi is most important for filial piety. If a person is not filial, his reputation is completely over! If officials are not filial, they can even be removed directly!
Mrs. Xu understood.
As long as Mrs. Fu is sincerely distressed Cheng Wanmiao, she will definitely not want to see her newly-wed husband sent to Beijing. Remaining in Beijing is the best choice, so that the old lady can see Cheng Wanmiao from time to time.
This matter was easy for Fu Tingye. As long as Mrs. Fu went to cry, Fu Tingye had no reason to disagree!
"Okay." Mrs. Xu nodded firmly, "Someday ask your sister to come out with Cheng Wanmiao."
The mother and son of the Xu family are dreaming of fulfilling their dreams, just waiting for a suitable opportunity, and then mentioning this family matter. I don’t know. Although Mrs. Fu loves Cheng Wanmiao, she is loved by Mrs. Hou.
If Cheng Wanmiao got married and became the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, she would be like a white-eyed wolf in Mrs. Fu's eyes, worthless...
...
Opportunities for Xu's mother and son came soon.
The quiet Weiyuanhou Mansion is going to hold a flower feast.
In the autumn equinox season, it seems a bit anxious to hold a flower feast at this time.
The flowers in summer will fall, and the flowers in autumn will be too late to bloom. The precious flowers in the garden will show their buds and will not be released.
However, in order to cope with these illustrious courts, gardeners have a set of methods for urging flowers, so that all kinds of autumn chrysanthemums are blooming.
...
Hua Qingxue looked at a box of splendid Chinese clothes and jewellery delivered by Fu Tingye and was ignorant.
It turned out that the box of clothes couldn't be worn. Why did I send another box?
Women only think that there are few clothes when they go out, and Hua Qingxue rarely goes out. The dressing at home has always been a daily style, how to be light and comfortable, and most of the dresses are the life of the bottom of the box.
She looked inquiringly at the man in front of her, and she kept talking.
Take it away, I am afraid that he will continue to give it away after being encouraged.
So, a polite rejection? Disappointing others with a good heart, a little bit of enthusiasm...
Fu Tingye, unaware of Hua Qingxue's entanglement, strode to the table without waiting for him. He took care of the teapot and poured water. He took two sips and said, "After two days, there will be a flower feast. go with."
When Hua Qingxue heard it was a banquet, his eyebrows would be tied.
These activities of the ancients are too elegant for her... While admiring the beautiful natural scenery, while chanting and chanting poetry, she really can't do it.
Fu Tingye said again: "It was done by my mother. I will take you to see her, and relatives and friends at home will also come, just to recognize her face."
He paused for a while, and a little embarrassment appeared on his face, as if embarrassed, and said: "Don't be afraid, I just saw you and I will accompany you."
Hua Qingxue thought, it turns out that this flower banquet has a purpose, it is to recognize the relatives banquet......
"I don't understand the rules here, what needs to be done, you will teach me by then." She said softly, agreeing.
Fu Tingye uncomfortably coughed, and the big man replied: "That's natural."
In fact, he hesitated again and again before making this decision.
Mrs. Si Bing comes from Qingzhou Daying, and outsiders all regard Hua Qingxue as his effective subordinate. Even Mrs. Fu thinks so deeply.
It is because the rumors of Hua Qingxue and Sha Xing were reincarnated, born with three heads and six arms, and looked ugly, so everyone did not regard this so-called Mrs. Sibing as a woman.
Fu Tingye wanted to make a few prefaces to Mrs. Fu, and then prepared to find a suitable opportunity to bring Hua Qingxue to meet with Mrs. Lao.
Unauthorized marriage is not the right thing to do. If you don’t see you at all, you are really unfilial.
But somehow, every time he returned to the house, he didn’t wait for him to talk about it, Mrs. Fu said, and the words went to his cousin, and he bemoaned and lamented that he wouldn’t take care of Cheng Wan after 100 years. wonderful.
Fu Tingye was confused, and he thought that Cheng Wanmiao had parents and brothers. How could nobody care?
Mrs. Fu didn't see him when he saw him. On several occasions, he even directly stated that he would take care of Cheng Wanmiao.
Fu Tingye didn't even understand! He just stayed in Shengjing for a while, and he will return to Daying in the future. How to take care of it? !
He was only when Mrs. Fu was old and confused. He listened silently and did not talk.
Mrs. Fu did not see him, thinking that he hated the early title of the title, so he did not dare to persuade, thinking of Cheng Wanmiao, pure and beautiful, as long as the two are everywhere, Fu Tingye will agree sooner or later.
What Fu Tingye wanted was to let Hua Qingxue show his face and give an impression to the relatives and friends of the Fu family. Although he can’t get married at the national funeral, he also wants to let everyone know that Hua Qingxue is his person. Ask the little emperor to ask for the will to give the marriage—regardless of who disagrees, quickly cut the mess, simple and rude to quickly get married.
Just like this, the two sides misunderstood, and the flower banquet posts of Weiyuan Houfu were sent out one after another.
Mrs. Fu wanted to take the flower banquet to make Fu Tingye and Cheng Wanmiao get close. Fu Tingye wanted to take the flower banquet to let Hua Qingxue meet her future mother-in-law, and Cheng Wanmiao... she had other plans for this flower banquet.
