Transfer Fubao four and a half years old

Several more tables were set up in the corridor. The ladies and noble ladies who had just been in the flower hall had moved here. From a distance, they saw some men coming over to greet the elders, and they also took the opportunity to secretly glance at the group of noble ladies.

In this way, with so many elders present, the handsome man and beautiful woman will not seem too abrupt or violate the rules when they are together, and they can also look at each other up close.

Haha, it turns out this is what a large-scale matchmaking scene is like. It was the first time for Chuchu and Juanjuan to experience it.

Chu Chu glanced at the shed on the side of the pavilion. There were not many foreign men, only about eleven or twelve at most, which seemed to be even three or two fewer than the number of noble ladies.

It seems that the families with daughters are the most anxious. In comparison, the men outside are all wearing simple everyday clothes in plain black and white, while most of the ladies here are dressed in fancy clothes and look ready for battle, which makes it seem like there are too many people and too little porridge.

Even though they were the last ones to walk, they didn't walk very fast, but they finally reached the waterside corridor. This corridor should be connected to where they had just sat, but it was in different directions of the house. From this point of view, this lake was quite big.

"I'm afraid the lotus flowers in your house are in full bloom in the summer?" Chu Chu couldn't help but ask Jiang Hua. Looking from this side, the water was sparkling, and it was a long distance away from the curved bridge on the other side. Although the lotus flowers in the water were just beginning to sprout, one could imagine what a beautiful scenery it would be in the summer.

"When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, I will invite you sisters. You must come along." Jiang Hua became excited when talking about lotus flowers. There are not only lotus flowers in the pond, but also many kinds of fish. We can also catch water chestnuts, which are very sweet whether eaten raw or steamed. My younger sister and I like them very much. My eldest sister likes to set up the easel in the morning and evening and paint lotus flowers here.

"Chu Chu, Juan Juan, come here quickly, Qiao Qiao come too."

Li Yan had been watching this place for a long time. Seeing that they were late, he was a little anxious. He was not serious about the blind date, but at least he did not show it on his face, so as not to offend the host.

Li Yan waved his hand to signal them, and Dong Gu also raised her hands high beside him, afraid that they couldn't see it.

There were four or five long round tables in the corridor. Each table was occupied, but it looked sparsely populated.

The ladies sitting around the table in front, Concubine Dowager De and the wife of Prince Chun, were all first-rank ladies. As expected, there were still distinctions between high and low ranks. In the court, the ranks of each family were not low, but in occasions like this, they were still divided into several levels.

The ladies of lower ranks all sat back, and did not dare to sit at the front two tables unless specifically invited.

Some of the empty seats were probably reserved by the lady for her daughters. It was not like what happened in the flower hall just now, where the elders and daughters were deliberately separated.

Not many ladies actually sat down to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"Greetings to all the ladies! Greetings to Princess Chun!"

"Greetings, Madam Shunguo!"

……

It is not their turn yet, but voices can be heard from the front, all respectfully greeting their elders.

With so many people here, Chuchu felt tired just to greet them.

Seeing Chuchu, Juanjuan and Qiaoqiao waiting in front and being polite, Jiang Hua and Jiang Bing hurriedly followed.

The ladies and madams at the front table are of the most honorable status. Every noblewoman does not want to catch their eye, and everyone who comes over has to bow to them first.

There were too many people at the tables at the back, so I just went over to say hello, bowed and introduced myself at each table, and then the servants greeted them.

After almost everyone in front had greeted, they moved forward.

Chuchu and Juanjuan saw that Princess Chun and her mother were also sitting at the first table. There was also a noble-looking woman sitting in the middle. The three of them were talking in low voices just now.

When Princess Chun saw them, she warmly called Chuchu and Juanjuan over, but she just smiled and nodded to Qiaoqiao.

The noble lady looked familiar, but Chuchu couldn't remember who she was or where she had seen her before.

But Juanjuan whispered, "This is Concubine Dowager De, the mother of Prince Zhou. When she attended the palace banquet before, she sat next to Concubine Qiong and in front of the Empress Dowager."

Chuchu finally remembered. It was the former Concubine De. She was an extremely smart person. When the late Queen and Concubine Qiong slandered her mother, she always remained calm, but she would not say a few good words like the Empress Dowager did.

Even at this moment, looking at these young people, she could not smile at all, and Chuchu did not have the slightest favor towards them.

But his identity is still there.

Li Yan also hurriedly called out to his daughter: "Hurry up and pay your respects to the Concubine Dowager."

Chuchu, Juanjuan and Jiang Hua stepped forward, Qiaoqiao consciously took the last few steps to stand with Jiang Bing, and they leaned forward and bowed: "Greetings, Madam Concubine, and blessings to Madam Concubine."

Concubine Dowager De did not ask them to stand up immediately, but listened to Li Yan, Princess Chun, and Madam Jiang's introductions first.

Then he said in a very calm tone, "Stand up, and find a place to sit. You look so cute, and you are all good kids."

Concubine De lightly stroked their faces without intentionally staying on anyone's face for even a moment. Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

After leaving, Chuchu and Juanjuan originally wanted to sit at the table behind their mother and others.

But seeing Toffee and De together, I don’t want to think about it anymore. It’s better to stay away from the center of the topic.

Jiang Hua must have had this idea long ago, and he also said, "Let's sit over there and paint there later. It's close to the outside as well."

Following the direction Jiang Hua pointed, I saw a few small tables installed near the waterside pavilion. Each square table could only seat four or five people. The place was very open whether you wanted to see the water or the peach blossoms.

Looking around, there were indeed many drawing boards placed in the peach garden. There seemed to be more than a dozen of them, which must have been more than the number of noble ladies who came.

Each drawing board is three feet apart. It seems that this competition is not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but a deliberately arranged program. The purpose is to allow the noble men and women to have closer contact. Those who are interested can take the initiative to come forward and say a few words.

As for considering the painting level of the ladies, there should be no such consideration, after all, no family plans to marry a painter home.

"Let's go over there and look at the peach blossoms first. It won't be nice if there are too many people. I'm afraid the competition won't start so soon."

When they first arrive, they would go up to greet the familiar people and chat about family matters. Perhaps only the younger ones really wanted to see the flowers.

Chuchu really likes Jiang Hua's personality. She does whatever she likes, just like her. She doesn't take this blind date seriously at all.

The main thing was that every time they met, they were all cheerful, with a fake smile on their faces, and said a few hypocritical words, which forced her to want to escape.

At this age, she doesn't want to be forced to adapt and socialize in advance like Jiang Lin.

Even though my elder sister is the eldest daughter, my mother would not force her, even though my elder sister is already very sensible.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that whoever married into their Shunguo Mansion in the future would be very happy. At least they wouldn't have to be pretentious. As long as they were sensible and filial, no elders would set rules for them.

Just like my mother, even if you are a little stupid, you can live a comfortable life.
