The luncheon slowly came to an end, and many guests began to bid farewell to the host of the Liu family.

There were still a few scattered tourists in the front yard, and the servants began to clean up one after another.

Yan Shu tidied up her appearance and prepared to leave. At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came.

"Mrs. Wen, take your time. My old lady is in the back garden and would like to invite you over for a cup of tea."

"That's it, that's fine. As long as it doesn't disturb the old lady's rest." Although Yan Shu didn't want to linger in the mansion anymore.

Following the housekeeper slowly towards the corridor, the lotus leaves in the pond were still green and oily, but the lotus flowers had grown into dark green lotus seeds. Still a unique view.

Go through the corridor and turn right, passing by a rockery and two pavilions in the water, before arriving at a small island-like place.

Facing us are several huge ginkgo trees, dozens of meters high. The branches and leaves are luxuriant and lush, which shows that the Liu Mansion has a long history of building the garden.

After passing through the path under the big trees, we came to a flat grassland. As soon as Yan Shu looked up, she saw the ladies and ladies sitting together.

Mrs. Liu sat in the middle of the crowd as usual.

"Old madam, Madam Wen has invited you here."

"Okay, you go down and have someone give Mrs. Wen and the little girl a cup of tea."

Yan Shu and Yaya stood aside a little embarrassed.

"Come on, bring the girl and sit here." Mrs. Liu said gently.

Yan Shu led Yaya and slowly walked over and sat down on the stone bench on the right opposite to the old lady.

Mrs. Liu was surrounded by six or seven young girls in gorgeous clothes. The younger one is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the older one is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The most active girl began to say to Mrs. Liu:

"Grandma, look at how this sister is dressed so quietly and elegantly. Her bun is also so unique!"

As he spoke, the little girl walked up to Yan Shu and looked up and down:

"Sister, the style of this dress is so special. It is simple and elegant, with smooth lines, fresh and elegant. Which tailor made it? I have never seen such a fashionable dress in Kyoto."

"Ling'er, don't keep questioning Mrs. Wen. You always talk like jade beads, crackling." Mrs. Liu teased.

"Haha...hee hee..." The girls on the side all laughed so hard that their branches trembled with laughter, with various gestures.

While talking, two bowls of tea were already placed on the stone table in front of Yan Shu and Yaya.

Yan Shu smiled and looked at the girl in front of her:

"A pink-white melon face, two lines of curved willow-leaf eyebrows. Below a pair of black and crystal eyes, she is smart and lovely. Her small and exquisite body sways slightly when she talks. Overall, she is a beautiful and lively girl."

Then he replied calmly:

"Thank you for the compliment, girl. I don't have much to say about this dress. I just bought it in a clothing store and cut it and modified it myself. It barely fits my body."

Yan Shu then took a sip of tea, and the aroma of tea immediately filled her lips and teeth.

Sure enough, in this crisp autumn weather, it is the enjoyment of the world for your ladies to drink tea and chat in the garden.

The women chatted together about dressing up and doing embroidery.

Mrs. Liu is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. She moved these cardamom girls together not just so they could drink tea and eat melon seeds.

During the conversation, Yan Shu had a general understanding of the family backgrounds of these ladies.

The young lady who spoke to her first just now was called Chu Yuling, and she was Mrs. Liu's granddaughter. His father was an official in Beijing and served as the Minister of Household Affairs. His mother died young. She and Chu Xiao were brothers and sisters.

This time it happened to be my grandmother's birthday. Her brother and sister came here from Beijing and planned to stay in the Liu Mansion for a while.

"No wonder she is somewhat similar to Chu Xiao. Compared with Chu Xiao's cold face, Chu Yuling looks more cheerful, smart and lovable." Yan Shu understood the reason in her heart.

The other girls surrounding Mrs. Liu are all well-known.

The one with the most outstanding beauty is the lady closest to Mrs. Liu on the left.

"Wearing a jade hairpin, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes full of autumn, and skin as white as snow." In modern terms, it means fair skin, beauty, and long legs.

It can be seen that the old lady also likes this incomparably beautiful girl.

It's just that this girl seems to have a melancholic temperament, and although her eyebrows are beautiful, she looks like she can't relax.

It turns out that her name is Feng Zhen'er, and she is the daughter of Magistrate Feng.

"It turns out this is a blind date conference, and there are many beauties gathering here." Yan Shu immediately understood the old lady's purpose of inviting everyone to drink tea together.

It's just that Yan Shu couldn't figure out what the old lady meant by calling her mother and daughter here. To be honest, Yan Shu didn't want to be a light bulb.

After having tea and snacks, the young girls became more familiar with each other.

Several ladies came over to ask Yan Shu how he could be so powerful and transform into a living person.

Yan Shu just responded with a few words, saying that the secret must not be leaked and dismissed the naive ladies.

Mrs. Liu started talking again.

"I'm very happy today, and I'm even happier when I see you young girls."

"Don't just talk, sit down and have tea!" The old lady then asked what books everyone had read.

The lively Chu Yuling was the first to speak: "Grandma, I have read the Four Books and the Five Classics."

"Junior has read "Female Precepts" and "Internal Training"." Feng Zhen'er replied.

Other ladies also answered one after another, and the answers were almost the same.

"It seems that women in ancient times did not learn much. After all, from ancient times to modern times, it was believed that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue." Yan Shu was thinking like a wanderer.

"Sister, what books have you read? Today I saw that you are an unusual person. You are not dull like me in the boudoir."

It was the stunning Feng Zhen'er who spoke.

"I didn't expect this seemingly weak woman to be a bit aggressive." Yan Shu was muttering in her mind when a young man's voice came from behind her.

"It turns out that there are so many sisters and sisters here having tea and talking with grandma. It's so boring to leave my brother and me aside."

The girls here all looked over, and Chu Xiao and Liu Zhuozheng walked over in high spirits.

Several ladies began to whisper, some of them even blushed with embarrassment.

Liu Zhuo is still personable and well-groomed. It gives people the look of a jade tree facing the wind.

Chu Xiao, on the other hand, acted carelessly and uninhibitedly, making Yan Shu think he was just a playboy.

"Grandma, if you ask them what books they have read, you won't be able to tell anything. It's better to guess the word puzzle directly. It's fun to make pairs, isn't it, cousin?"

Facing Chu Xiao's words, Liu Zhuo could not deny it.

Maybe he also wanted to see the character and talent of these girls in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly from his mouth.

"Xiao'er, it's just your words. Then I'll punish you with a match. Everyone should discuss their writing." The old lady agreed to Chu Xiao's suggestion.

After sitting down, Chu Xiao took a sip of tea and said:

""Reading in spring, reading in autumn, reading in spring and autumn, reading in spring and autumn", think about it and then say it if you think it is right, hahaha."

"Brother, why do you always do these brain-torturing things?" Chu Yuling pouted in protest.

"You don't need to use your stupid brain. You won't be able to answer even if you do." Chu Xiao mocked her sister mercilessly.

The faces of several other girls also turned blue and white. Chu Xiao's words were too direct and indirectly laughed at them.

The air was suddenly quiet. Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you. No one said anything.

"Cousin, let me tell you this. No one can match this pair yet. If you lose this time, you have to give up your sword to me." Chu Xiao was smacking the melon seeds with a lively eyebrow.

A disdainful smile appeared on Liu Zhuo's handsome face.

"It seems that the sword belongs to you?" His dark eyes swept over the girls in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Shu.

Yan Shu raised her eyes and met Liu Zhuo's pleading gaze. I thought to myself: "Look at what I am doing. Although my language skills are good, I am not showing off by answering here."

The eyes of the other ladies also fell on Yan Shu, as if looking for reinforcements.

Yan Shu had a personality that refused to admit defeat. Seeing Chu Xiao's arrogance, she really couldn't bear him looking down on women. Then he threw out two sentences:

“Pawn the east, pawn the west, pawn the east, pawn the east.

Nantongzhou, Beitongzhou, North and South Tongzhou connect north and south. "

After a while of silence. Only a burst of clapping was heard.

Chu Xiao looked at Yan Shu in disbelief: "Okay, sister. I can't tell!"

"Everyone is laughing, let's just make do with it!"

Liu Zhuo couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that my sister could actually face such an extremely difficult opponent. Come on, please write down it quickly!"

The ladies and maids next to her were all whispering to each other, and most of them looked at Yan Shu with admiration.

"Ms. Wen, I don't know that you have such a literary background." Madam Liu also didn't expect Wen Yanshu to be able to solve this problem, and she really had to look up to her again.

The afternoon tea time passed quickly this time. Yan Shu and Yaya said goodbye to Mrs. Liu and prepared to go home.

What she didn't know was that a big event was happening in Huaishu Village.
