March passed in the blink of an eye.

The ice and snow melt, everything revives, the pink and the apricots are white, and the spring is full of good scenes. Acuo's physical condition has also improved with the warmer weather.

Over the past three months, she has been taken care of in every detail.

Old Mrs. Shen replaced the snobbish maids and women in her yard, personally selected a group of newcomers to the Lihuayuan, and specially sent Madam Li to teach the newcomers.

Chen Jun also felt guilty about her falling into the water, and he visited her more times during this period.

Although Acuo didn't like this father, he had to bow his head under the roof. Whenever Chen Jun came, she would pretend to be obedient and smiled and called him "good father", which was sweeter than the other.

Acuo is beautiful, has a natural smile, and has two small dimples.

A smile, and then a sweet and unpaid father, who can withstand this?

Later, whenever Chen Jun came to the Lihuayuan, he would bring various gifts to Acuo, such as to make up for all the fatherly love he had been late for years.

Didn’t fulfill the responsibility of being a father before, and only wanted to compensate until the person was gone?

Acuo bit the furong cake and couldn't help but feel worthless for Chen Dan.

"Girl, the old lady is here."

A light call pulled Acuo back from her thoughts. She came back to her senses. When she saw Mrs. Shen coming over, she immediately put the windmill and pastries on the small table and greeted her with a smile, "Grandma, you are here."

"Acuo, you are greedy again."

Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said that last month, her granddaughter turned fourteen years old, so she gave her a small word, called Acuo, which is similar to Danruo, which also means pomegranate.

The little granddaughter was surprised and accepted it happily.

The grandparents and grandsons sat down, and the old lady Shen held Acuo's hand and talked about the spring banquet at the eldest princess' house, and asked again, "The eldest princess also posted a post in our mansion.

Acuo, do you want to go and have a look?"

Before this, she would definitely not have let her granddaughter go out. After all, her granddaughter is not mentally conscious. If she is excluded and bullied when she goes out, she will be heartbroken to death.

But now it’s different. Since the last time I fell into the water, my granddaughter has been lucky in disguise and is much smarter, almost the same as ordinary people.

Old Mrs. Shen thought that her granddaughter was fourteen years old, so she should have more contact with the outside world, otherwise marriage would become a problem in two years.

She, an old woman with half of her body, can protect her for a while, can she protect her for the rest of her life?

My daughter will get married after she grows up.

Acuo didn't know the old lady's careful consideration, she only knew that she could go out to play!

In the past, she could run around the mountains.

Since she arrived at this Shen Mansion, she has been trapped in this square yard and can't run around anywhere.

It is hard to be a human being, and it is even harder to be a lady in the boudoir.

"Grandma, I want to go!"

Acuo's round and big eyes were full of expectations.

"Acuo just wants to go."

Old Mrs. Shen responded with a smile, then reached out and flipped the broken hair in front of Acuo's forehead into her ears. Looking at her granddaughter's fair and beautiful little face, she praised, "Our Acuo looks good. If we dress up well, it will definitely be more beautiful than flowers."

Acuo was so proud that he was full of joy, and was curious about everything outside, pestering Mrs. Shen and chatting about the banquet.

The master and servant chatted happily here, but the atmosphere in the west courtyard was not very pleasant.

"That little fool is going to go too?

!”

Chen Siwan was in confinement during this period and lost weight a lot.

At this moment, her delicate little face was full of displeasure and she snorted coldly, "What are she going to do? Are you going to embarrass her eyes?"

Aunt Sun promptly held the maid in the house back, closed the door, and whispered, "Didn't you ask for a memory last time?

Be careful of the ears of the walls!”

"I'm just telling the truth."

Chen Siwan glanced at her lips, "I don't care. I don't want to go with that fool anyway. When the other ladies will definitely laugh at me."

"If you want to make a joke, it's just a joke to her. What are you afraid of?

Besides, this matter was decided by the old lady. The princess's mansion also submitted a post to our mansion for the sake of the old lady's face. Otherwise, just a fourth-rank civil servant like your father, how could he get the princess's mansion?

If that little fool cannot go, you, Qiuyuzhai and Mingyue Pavilion, can't go either."

Qiuyuzhai is the residence of Aunt Liu, who raises the eldest lady Chen Ruyu and the second young master Shen Zhongming in her room; Mingyue Pavilion is the residence of Aunt Zhou, who raises the second lady Chen Yueling in her room;

Aunt Sun lives in the largest western courtyard, and she keeps the eldest son Shen Boxun and the third lady meditate.

The Chen Mansion has not had a mistress for more than ten years. This most favored Aunt Sun has become the boss in the backyard, and she is in charge of the keys in the public servant.

What's more, she raised the eldest son under her knees. Although she was born in a illegitimate family, she finally had a long word. Anyway, Chen Jun had no legitimate son under her knees, so it doesn't matter whether she was born in a illegitimate family or not.

But it is different for the girls in the mansion. If everyone is a concubine's daughter, it would be fine, but there is such a real lady in the mansion, which makes her look very blinking.

Then Aunt Sun comforted Chen Siwan in a gentle voice, and said that many families of aristocratic families would attend this spring banquet. Chen Siwan said reluctantly, "Okay, just go, anyway, I will definitely be far away from her, so that she will not let me be embarrassed when she makes jokes."

——

The spring banquet at the eldest princess's house is scheduled for the ninth day of the third lunar month.

Early in the morning that day, Acuo was dragged from the quilt by Mu Qing and Mu Lan to the mirror to dress up.

She slept in a daze, bent her back and let them tumbling. I don’t know how long it took, Mu Qing’s crisp sound of “Okay” sounded behind her, and she woke up with a tremor.

"Miss Four is so beautiful."

"I'm afraid that there is no other lady in the capital who looks like this."

Mu Qing and Mu Lan praised each other, saying that they were twins, and their biological mother was Madam Xu in the old lady's yard.

When Madam Xu was young, she worked as a palace maid in the previous dynasty, and after leaving the palace, she worked as a worker in the Shen Mansion.

Perhaps she had served the royal family, so the Mu Qing and Mulan, who were raised, were also particularly capable.

Let’s talk about Acuo’s figure in the mirror, with bean-green persimmon-shaped silk croaker on it, and a pomegranate skirt with ten thousand words of Qushuiwoven gold smoke. The black hair of the crow was combed into a clear and elegant flying fairy bun. Two three-color gem beads on the left and right, and a red gold-filled pond was inserted in the middle. A pair of red gold-filled ruby ​​pomegranate flower earrings hung on its white and tender earrings. Acuo’s head was shaking, and the pair of exquisite earrings also drew a beautiful arc.

This dress was made for this spring banquet, especially this pomegranate skirt, which was made of grandmother's dowry fabric.

This extremely precious smoky satin was lost more than ten years ago. Now the two pieces in my grandmother's hand are rare in the world.

Acuo dressed up and happily went to Old Lady Shen’s Wendeyuan.

The other three ladies had already let their respective concubines take the old lady to the old lady. They waited until they saw Acuo coming, and were a little unhappy.

"She knows how to show off her legitimate daughter, and let the three of us be sisters waiting for one of her."

The big girl Chen Ruyu was wearing a tender yellow embroidered orchid gown, and a round face, and she looked pretty upright.

"Oh, I really don't understand why I took her with me, for fear that outsiders wouldn't know that there is a fool in our family."

The second girl Chen Yueling held a veil and gently covered her red lips. She had a pair of hanging eyes. Although she looked pretty, her face looked a bit mean.

Chen Siwan is wearing a big red garment and a newly made ruby ​​jewelry today, and is very grand and rich.

She had complained a lot in the West Courtyard, but now she seemed to be talking less. She just took a sip of tea and smiled, "No matter how much she dressed up, she couldn't hide her silly look. Let's take a look."

When the second and third girls heard this, they all laughed at the show.

Not long after, Old Mrs. Shen was helped out by Madam Li. As soon as she sat down, she heard a lively shout from outside the yard, "Grandmother, Grandma--"

The three girls in the room exchanged glances with each other: The unruly little fool is here.

Everyone looked at the door at the same time.

In the clear sunshine in the early morning, a pretty and lively girl in a red dress ran in with her skirt.

Her bright skirt was shining with a faint silver light under the light, as if it was covered with a hazy fairy spirit.

The beautiful little face has been carefully decorated, and every part looks just right.

Especially those eyebrows and eyes, they were vivid and lively, and the eyes seemed to be filled with dazzling galaxies.

How could this tell that he is a fool?

!

Everyone in the room was shocked, and the air seemed to have stopped.

Old Mrs. Shen first reacted, with a smile on her face. She knew that her granddaughter looked good, but she didn't know that wearing such bright colors could make her beautiful and wantonly.

It is like the most gorgeous pomegranate flower blooming on a midsummer branch.

"Grandma, do I look good?"

Acuo ignored the others in the room and walked straight to Mrs. Shen and walked around for two rounds.

Old Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile and praised, "It looks good, my Acuo is the best."

Acuo, who received the affirmative praise, smiled even happier, and the dimples on his cheeks were filled with joy.

The three neglected girls also came to their senses at this time. Seeing Acuo so beautiful, they couldn't help but feel sore in their hearts.
