There was nothing fancy about ancient banquets.
The garden of the Hanlin University Scholar's residence is not big, but there is a rockery made of Taihu stone, and a flowing stream carefully carved by Jiangnan craftsmen, which surrounds the pavilions and towers, and is very delicate.
In the past, people praised Taihu stone for its simplicity, elegance and natural beauty.
This time, the wife of the Hanlin scholar held a poetry gathering, and the princes and their wives naturally gathered in the garden to admire the lake rocks from afar.
And those young masters were in groups of three or five over at the pavilion, admiring the flowers and writing poems.
There is a lake between the two sides, and they are all playing by the lake. Those who are interested in dating can naturally see each other's appearance from afar.
As soon as Song Niannian came out, she was eye-catching.
She was wearing a light green long dress with jade-colored hems and jade-colored tassels tied around her waist. She wore a small jacket embroidered with broken apricot branches, which was simple, elegant and sentimental.
She had beautiful features. If one didn't look at Pei Yan, who was holding her hand, no one would have guessed that she was already married.
Today is a poetry gathering, and this outfit couldn't be more elegant.
Pei Yan was dressed in an imposing manner. Despite his young age, Song Niannian dressed him up to look handsome and cute like a little ball of jade.
When the two of them came into the crowd, the women among them also fell silent.
Because I don’t recognize him!
Song Niannian has never attended a banquet in the capital, and today is her first appearance.
"Madam Li." Song Niannian greeted the wife of the Hanlin University Scholar and Pei Yan.
Pei Yan also said crisply, "Pei Yan greets Madam and asks how Madam is doing!"
Pei...
He introduced himself, which brought people back to their senses.
This unknown woman and child are none other than Pei Zhuangyuan, who has been in the limelight recently, and his first wife.
"Mrs. Pei." Madam Hanlin smiled. "How foolish of me to have never seen you before. You are so pretty. Master Pei is so lucky!"
Song Niannian smiled and bowed, "I don't deserve it."
The two exchanged greetings, and then a new guest arrived, and Mrs. Hanlin went to entertain him.
Song Niannian was entrusted to her eldest daughter-in-law by her.
"Mrs. Pei, it has been rumored in the past that you are extremely ugly, which is why you stay at home and never go out. I never thought that you are so beautiful. It seems that the rumors are not credible." Mrs. Pei smiled.
When Song Niannian heard this, she felt a hint of hostility and contempt in her heart.
How did she offend Madam Pei?
Childbearing System, "Host, Madam Pei's family is related to Duke Pang's Mansion. She was the most angry about the falling out between the Scholar's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion this time. Host, be careful!"
Song Niannian agreed in her heart.
Then, Madam Pei took her to visit the scholar's mansion, but the road became longer and longer, gradually becoming more remote, and there were few servants on the road.
Mrs. Pei said, "Ouch, ouch."
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" The maid beside Madam Pei asked anxiously.
Madam Pei stumbled and suddenly supported the maid beside her. "My stomach aches, like a knife stabbing... Yanyu, take me to the wing room quickly."
Song Niannian followed with Pei Yan.
When they reached the wing room, Yan Yu suddenly stopped her and said, "Madam Pei, my eldest wife is not feeling well. This place is not far from the banquet. Madam Pei, why don't you take the young master back by yourself?"
Yan Yu's face was very cold.
If it were someone else, visiting someone else's house for the first time, and being given the cold shoulder by the host's maid, it was obvious that the host didn't like them, but when the maid stepped in... it was disgusting, and the person had to suffer in silence.
Song Niannian said, "No rush. Since Madam Pei is feeling unwell, she should go see a doctor."
"I'll go back and find a doctor for you, Madam."
"Hey, hey, hey..." Yan Yu didn't expect Song Niannian to be so shameless. How could they go out and find a doctor just because their wife had a stomachache?
Before she could figure out how to stop Song Niannian, Song Niannian had already turned around.
Yan Yu hurried forward, blocked Song Niannian's way, and reached out to pull her arm.
