Chapter 181
After all, she was the host. She couldn't stay with Song Anning all the time. She had to go to the front to entertain the guests.
Song Anning also understood, so after Li Waner left, she said to Dongqing: "Since there is a clean place ahead, let's go and take a look, and don't waste Miss Li's kindness."
"Eh."
Holly had long been impatient and walked with them in front.
This garden was also too big, bigger than any garden she had visited before. If there were people chatting and laughing with her, the time would pass quickly. Unfortunately, she didn't know anyone here, and she couldn't even find anyone to talk to.
Although Miss Song Yue is here, it can be seen that those people do not look down on Miss Song Yue at all.
She is thick-skinned and is willing to join in the fun with a shy face, but her own lady is not willing to do so.
Therefore, it is best to find a quiet and comfortable place to sit by yourself. When the time is almost up, you can naturally go back to work after the banquet.
Holly thought so.
The two of them walked forward for about half a cup of tea. Sure enough, they saw that the peach blossoms here were blooming more.
The flowers are in clusters, and every tree is connected together to form a huge canopy, which is beautiful to look at.
Holly couldn't help but marvel.
"This is so beautiful. Mrs. Li really enjoys it. She even planted so many peach trees here."
Song Anning also found it incredible.
Although peach trees are not that precious flowers, to own such a large garden in Qingzhou and to take care of so many peach trees so carefully is a considerable expense.
The Li family is a family of military commanders, and the fastest way to make money is through war.
But as far as Song Anning knows, the wars in recent years have basically been in the north. The north is the territory of the Li family. Even if there is a war, it will not be the turn of the Li family who guards Qingzhou.
Therefore, the Li family's money, regardless of the emperor's rewards and their own family's management, can only come from plundering people's wealth and money.
She didn't say the words.
When they reached the pavilion, Dan and Dongqing walked in and took a rest.
Dongqing smiled and went to pick flowers. Song Anning was worried that it would destroy the scenery in the garden and make the master dissatisfied, so she disagreed. Dongqing smiled and said: "I don't want to pick many flowers, but pick one or two flowers and put them on my head for the lady to play with." Just take it off when people come."
Song Anning looked at her excited expression and knew that she was a child who had lost her temper again, so he stopped restraining her and said with a smile: "Okay, go ahead and remember not to pick them randomly. These flowers are open for people to appreciate." It’s not just for taking it off and playing with it.”
"I know."
Holly jumped away and ran away.
It was probably Li Waner who told her, and soon a maid came over to serve her tea.
Song Anning stood up, and the leading maid said: "Second Miss is afraid that Miss Song will be bored here alone, so she specially asked this servant to come and see you. We have our own theatrical troupe and jugglers in our house." Actor, if Miss Song is interested, we can all call her over to have a look, and we can just pass the time."
Song Anning hurriedly said: "Thank you, Miss Second, for your kindness. However, the scenery here is pleasant and beautiful. It is already a fairyland on earth. How can it be bothered by too many people? I will just sit here for a while. Please tell Miss Second, there is no need to worry too much." I'm worried."
The maid smiled and said, "In that case, the slaves will leave."
"Sister, go slowly."
Song Anning watched those maids leave with her own eyes, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She returned to the pavilion and sat down. She first looked at the tea, then at the snacks on the table. She picked up a piece and tasted it. She found that it also contained the taste of peach blossoms. She opened the snack and saw that it was true. Peach blossoms are mixed in it.
Peach garden, peach appreciators, peach blossom cakes...
She raised her eyebrows, picked up the wine and poured herself a glass. Sure enough, the wine had a pleasant aroma, and there was actually a taste of peach blossoms in it.
This second young lady is indeed a wonderful person.
She couldn't help but smile.
But at this moment, an exclamation came from not far away.
Song Anning was startled, stood up and looked around, only to see Dongqing running towards this side in a panic.
She held two peach blossoms in her hands, but she didn't look happy at all. Instead, her face was filled with excitement.
Song Anning took a step forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Before Dongqing could speak, a male voice came over.
"Peach blossoms are shallow and deep, like makeup with even shades. The spring breeze breaks the heart and blows off the white clothes."
As the words fell, an azure figure was seen slowly walking towards this side.
This time, not to mention Dongqing, even Song Anning was shocked.
When he stepped back, he accidentally bumped into the tea on the stone table and splashed the tea all over his sleeves.
The man was also stunned.
The moment I saw Song Anning, I stared straight ahead.
What a beautiful little lady!
Dongqing was shocked and angry. She was obviously scared, but she still put out her hand in front of Song Anning, and angrily shouted: "Where are you from? You are so rude! My lady is here to enjoy the flowers, so you can just come here privately. Eyes What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will report it to General Li immediately and dig out your eyes!"
Only then did the man react and quickly closed his fan to apologize and salute.
"I'm really sorry. Young man Li Wendong is General Li's distant cousin. Recently, he and his eldest brother went to Qingzhou to visit their cousin. They accidentally broke into this peach garden and bumped into two girls. Please forgive me."
Song Anning was wiping the tea on her sleeves with a handkerchief.
Hearing this, he took action.
"Your name is Li Wendong?"
"Yes." Li Wendong lowered his head, but he was very polite and said respectfully: "I heard that there is a flower party in the house today, and all the girls are admiring the flowers in the garden in front. I wonder why the girl is here alone? "
Dongqing said angrily: "Why is my lady here? What does it have to do with you? Who allowed you to ask more questions?"
Song Anning pulled Dongqing to signal her not to be impulsive.
Then she bowed to Li Wendong.
"Mr. Li is laughing. I am Song Anning, the legitimate daughter of the third wife of the Song family merchants in the city. I was invited to the General's Mansion to attend a flower party. I couldn't stand the noise and came here to take a break. I didn't know that I would disturb Mr. Li. Please forgive me. .”
Li Wendong said quickly: "It turns out to be Miss Song. Miss Song enjoys the flowers here very well. But she collided with me below. How can we blame Miss Song?"
He paused and looked at Song Anning's sleeves.
"Miss Song's clothes are wet. It's inconvenient for me to be a man. However, my sister's residence is not far away. If Miss Song is willing, can I let the maid lead Miss Song and change my clothes at my sister's place?"
Song Anning frowned slightly.
It is indeed indecent to wet your sleeves during a noble lady's flower banquet, and it is easy to be laughed at.
Even if she didn't do it for herself, she would do it for the sake of Mr. Song's face.
So she nodded.
"Then thank you Mr. Li very much."
So, Li Wendong ordered his personal servant not far away to call Miss Li San.
While waiting, it was awkward to stand there. Song Anning looked at Li Wendong, who looked like an honest man. After giving orders to the boy, he just stood there with his head down and said nothing, for fear of looking at the abrupt beauty too much. She couldn't help but He curled his lips.
