On the evening of April 15th, Shen Rong once again confirmed tomorrow's affairs with the maid in charge of various matters, and then dragged her tired body back to the bedroom to rest.

Changsheng saw his wife walking into the inner room with a tired look on her face, and hurried to greet her.

"Are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders." Changsheng said as he placed his big hands on Shen Rong's shoulders and massaged them gently.

Shen Rong sat down on the couch, half of her body leaning on Changsheng, "I'm so tired. The days in the Marquis' Mansion are not as comfortable as those in the village."

Changsheng smiled and said, "Our family is not a family with strict rules. Look at the family of the Duke of Zhenguo, the rules there are so strict that they can crush people to death."

Because Changsheng had gone on a business trip with Zhou Minglang before, and later he had been to the Duke's Mansion several times, and the rules in that mansion were indeed strict.

For example, Zhou Minglang can only go to the backyard at night to rest, and usually he can only work and rest in the front yard.

If it were him, Changsheng would definitely not be happy.

Fortunately, there are only a few masters like them in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. For Changsheng, apart from his elders, his wife and children, there are no peers that he needs to be shy about.

However, ever since Old Madam Chen brought her niece into the house, Changsheng felt that things were a little inconvenient.

Every time he returned to Guiyuan, he would always meet Chen Zhier.

Thinking of this person, a trace of displeasure flashed across Changsheng's face.

Shen Rong didn't notice Changsheng's abnormality, she smiled and said, "Fortunately you are just the son of the Marquis's Mansion."

Changsheng's mouth twitched, "Are you homesick?"

Shen Rong was silent for a moment, "Yeah."

In a blink of an eye, she had been away from her hometown for more than a year, and in another half year it would be two years.

When I first came here, I was afraid of bringing trouble to my mother's family, so I didn't dare to send a letter home. Later, the situation in the mansion got better, and I sent a letter back, but I don't know if my mother's family received it. So much time has passed and there is still no news. It would be a lie for Shen Rong to say that she is not worried.

Changsheng looked at the expression on Shen Rong's face and said, "After the banquet is over, if there is nothing else to do in the mansion, how about I accompany you home?"

Shen Rong thought about it, then shook her head, "It's almost summer, and our Fresh Food Shop only has a few months of business a year. You grow so many melons there, so you always need me."

"Then we can go back in autumn. The weather is cooler in autumn, which is also suitable for traveling."

Shen Rong thought that when autumn comes, the fruits in the farm will be ripe, and there will be no need to pick the fruits in the space outside. It will be a good time to go out.

"Okay, we'll take the kids back in the fall."

They originally went to Beijing in late autumn. Two years later, it seemed like a good choice for them to go back in autumn.

After the couple made an agreement, Changsheng helped Shen Rong wash up, and then they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, April 16th, everything went well.

Early in the morning, the vermilion gate of Pingyang Marquis Mansion was opened to welcome guests from all directions.

Of course, entertaining friends and family does not mean just waiting for guests to come.

At noon, housekeeper Gong ordered his servants to send a second batch of invitations to the invited families, reminding the guests not to forget to keep their appointments.

One hour before the banquet, everything in the mansion was ready, and the housekeeper asked the servants to deliver the invitations to each house again to remind the invited guests that the banquet was about to begin.

Sending three invitations means inviting someone to a party. It not only shows your sincerity but also makes the invited people feel honored.

After the last invitation was sent out, Shen Rong, Changsheng and the lady prepared to welcome the guests.

Shen Rong, along with her daughter and maids, welcomed the guests at the second gate in the backyard.

Changsheng and his son were receiving male guests in the front yard.

The lady-in-waiting and the old lady Chen were in Minghui Courtyard, receiving guests.

The first to arrive were Shen Lianchuan and Yao.

The second people to come were Mrs. Zhou and her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu from the Zhou family, followed by two little girls.

It was the first time Shen Rong met Liu, and she hurriedly greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Yang, you are finally here. Who is this..." Shen Rong looked at the other party curiously.

Madam Zhou looked five or six years older than Madam Zhou Er. Shen Rong recognized her identity at a glance. However, she was familiar with Madam Zhou, so she asked Madam Zhou Er to introduce her.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou Er introduced Shen Rong, "This is my eldest sister-in-law. I heard that you guys are eating the first batch of melons today, so I brought a few children over to join in the fun."

Then Madam Zhou Er said to Madam Zhou Da, "This is the wife of Marquis Pingyang who is on good terms with me."

Madam Zhou smiled at Shen Rong shyly, "Sorry for bothering you today."

Shen Rong smiled back, "The Madam is here to visit my home. The Madam and I are so happy!"

Mrs. Zhou Er sent her two nieces to Shen Rong again.

"This is my eldest niece, Wan'er, and this is my second niece, Yao'er."

At this time, Mrs. Zhou said to her two daughters, "Call her aunt."

"Hello, auntie." The two girls said crisply.

One of the two girls looked to be in her teens, and the other seven or eight years old. Despite their young age, they both had good looks and temperament.

"Hey, good girl." Shen Rong responded, and hurriedly smiled as she took off a pair of exquisite ruby ​​and red gold bracelets from her toy and put them on the wrists of the two little girls.

Most of the jewelry Shen Rong wore today were prepared as gifts for her younger generations.

There are both expensive and inferior ones.

This pair of exquisite bracelets is the most expensive jewelry among them.

After all, the two girls were the daughters of the Duke's Mansion. After expressing their gratitude, they generously accepted Shen Rong's gift.

Before Shen Rong led the woman standing nearby to the front, Madam Zhou took An An's hand curiously and asked, "Is this your daughter? What's her name?"

An An first performed the junior salute, then said with a smile: "My name is Le An."

The eldest lady took out a white jade pendant with a mouse carved on it and placed it in An An's hand. "This child looks very lovable. Take him and play with him!"

An An looked at the little mouse in great wonder, "Thank you, ma'am!"

Shen Rong didn't expect that the eldest lady would be so thoughtful. Her two children were born in the year of the rat, and the jade pendant was carved into a rat with each rat hair clearly visible, which showed that it was carefully prepared.

The group greeted each other, and Shen Rong led the group towards Minghui Courtyard.

Along the way, Madam Zhou looked at the flowers and trees in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion calmly.

These flowers and trees are really well taken care of, not much worse than those in their Duke's Mansion. Madam Zhou glanced at Shen Rong again and thought: This peasant girl is really capable.

Madam Zhou Er had been to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion before. Apart from its dilapidated appearance, she had also seen the mansion when it was fruitful last year. However, she had never seen what the mansion looked like in full bloom in the spring. Now that she saw it, she was impressed by the fact that the flowers and plants in the mansion were growing well.

Shen Rong didn't know what her sisters-in-law were thinking, so she sent the group to Minghui Courtyard.

In Minghui Courtyard, the lady-in-waiting and the old lady were already waiting.

After some greetings, Shen Rong asked Juxiang to take An An to entertain the two little girls in the garden, while she went to the second gate to receive the guests.

When Zhou Yaoer heard about going to the garden, her face became visibly more lively.

She has not forgotten that the watermelons she ate last year were said to be grown in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Can she see watermelons if she goes to the garden now?

Wan'er is older and looks more stable, but it is obvious that she is thinking the same thing as her sister, and there is a hint of excitement on her face.

But the two little girls were disappointed.

There are no watermelons in the garden, but there are many blooming roses.

In order to make these flower walls look beautiful, Jiafu cut off all the bloomed flowers early in the morning. The ones left were either blooming or in bud, which immediately attracted the attention of the two sisters who had just entered the garden.

Although the Wan'er sisters had seen roses before, they had never seen a whole wall of flowers blooming so brilliantly.

"Oh my God! This is so beautiful!" Wan'er tilted her head and stared blankly at the long flower wall in front of her.

"Sister, I want to pick the wreath!" Yaoer likes to be more direct.

Juxiang bowed and said, "Miss Zhou, this flower has thorns. Let me pick the wreath for you!"

Wan'er looked at the flower wall with some hesitation, "Sister Juxiang, this flower has thorns, why don't we just forget it!"

Juxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Zhou, you won't prick my hand when you cut it with scissors.

You don’t have to worry about the wreath pricking anyone. Madam has prepared a lot of green vines to tie the flowers on so they don’t prick anyone.”

As Juxiang spoke, she pulled out a small bamboo basket from under the stone table beside her. The basket was filled with rattan twigs with green leaves.

The flowers in the garden were in full bloom. The lady knew that the little girls loved beauty, so she prepared some vines to make wreaths.

It’s best to use it, but if you don’t need it, it doesn’t take much effort to prepare it.

"Wow! Let's go cut flowers!" Yaoer said in surprise.

Seeing that there was finally someone who loved making garlands as much as she did, An An clapped her hands happily, "Sister Yaoer, I know which flowers would look good when made into garlands. Let's go pick some!"

Juxiang brought the three girls to the flower wall, and soon they had cut a basket of flowers, some blooming, some half-blooming, some big, some small, red, yellow, green, pink, white...

Several laughing little girls were chattering and making garlands, creating a lively atmosphere.

On the other side, after Shen Rong received several guests in succession, Chen Yuan arrived.

As soon as she entered the door, she looked around the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

This mansion has changed a lot since the last time she came to see the house!

When Chen Yuan saw Shen Rong at the second gate, the smile on his face seemed forced.

She didn't even bow, but took Shen Rong's arm as soon as she came up, saying, "Congratulations, Sanniang! You have finally come to an end after all the hardships you have endured."

Shen Rong didn't care about Chen Yuan's rudeness, because at this moment she heard Chen Yuan's gritting teeth in his heart.

"Shen Rong is so lucky! In the book, she originally married Gu Zhaoming, and later became the wife of a juren. However, she was unlucky and died of illness not long after. This time, she married a fool, and unexpectedly became the wife of a marquis. Could it be that this person is really destined to be the wife of an official?

wrong!

If she was really lucky, she wouldn't have died of illness so easily in the original book.

This just shows that Shen Rong has a bad fate.

If this is the case, Shen Rong will probably die even faster now that she has become the Marquis's wife!"

When Chen Yuan thought of this, he was suddenly shocked.

If it was before she traveled through the book, Chen Yuan would definitely not believe in these feudal superstitions. However, now, as someone who has seen ghosts with her own eyes, she firmly believes in those things about fate and feng shui.

When Shen Rong heard Chen Yuan frowning at her in his heart, the smile on her face froze.
