Seeing that the day is approaching, the atmosphere in the Lu family is gradually getting heated.
When girls see her on weekdays, they have to be particular about their clothes or jewelry.
Even if their embroidered shoes are hidden in their skirts, they have to pay attention to them.
Lu Yunzhi brought Xia Xiaodong a set of red gold and sapphire headbands, saying that it matched the color of the clothes she chose.
Things are brand new, not to mention exquisite, and the styles are also the latest.
It's a pity that Xia Xiaodong really had no interest in wearing a golden head, so he sent it back in person.
A large box of noodles is too heavy to hold in your hand, and the plug is difficult to get through your neck.
Of course, Lu Yunzhi refused to take it back.
The final compromise was that Xia Xiaodong picked two more items from Lu Yunzhi's collection.
Juansi Garden is quite far away from the Lu family's mansion.
On the day of visiting the garden, the Lu family is the host family, so all the girls must arrive early to help greet the guests.
Although Xia Xiaodong was considered a guest, he still set off with the convoy before dawn.
When we got off the bus, it was already bright, and we saw that the entrance of Juansi Garden was quite unique.
It was obviously used to receive relatives and friends.
There were actually two corridors for men, left and women, to divert the visitors.
Xia Xiaodong naturally walked to the right, and saw a row of well-dressed wives standing there, all saying hello.
Then a daughter-in-law led Xia Xiaodong and the two maids who followed him in.
After walking a few steps, we came face to face with a newly painted screen wall, with a very exquisite painting in the middle, with sparkling water and lush green trees, giving it the impression of a wealthy garden.
The daughter-in-law stopped in front of the painting, pointed at the painting and introduced it.
It turned out that what was painted on the wall was a panoramic view of Juansi Garden.
"We are here now."
The daughter-in-law pointed to a spot at the bottom of the picture, traced her fingers, and said with a smile: "Follow the Xunfang Trail.
To the east is Yue Lake.
Now that the time for lotus viewing has passed, rowing and fishing are better.
It's doable.
To the west, through the bamboo forest, is the Chrysanthemum Garden, where we'll be having poetry and wine fights."
"Further south, there is a large open space.
Only last year, the Sixth Master had bermudagrass planted.
It is dense and thick, and it is comfortable to walk on."
As she spoke, the daughter-in-law smiled and said, "This year's strong women's wrestling competition will be held there.
If you are interested, girl, you will be fine after lunch."
"By the way, lunch will be held in Zhanyun Pavilion, right on the north side of the koi pond.
Food will be served at noon.
Girls, you'd better not be late.
The old lady is in a good mood this year, and there will be a colorful show after lunch."
Xia Xiaodong was confused after hearing this.
For Lu Chi, it is no more clear that the words "Zhenliduikan" and "Southeast, Northwest" are the directions in the Eight Diagrams.
Fortunately, the wife talked about it for a long time and actually took a rubbing of the garden picture from under the screen wall.
Handed it over.
It turns out there is a mini map, which is much better.
Qiujuan smiled and reached out to take it, and helped Xia Xiaodong put it away.
He stuffed a reward that he had prepared in advance and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law.
Miss Xia has us here.
Sister-in-law, please go back to the front and get busy."
The daughter-in-law was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to bless him, said many auspicious words, thanked him and left.

"Why is she happy?"
Xia Xiaodong was a little surprised.
Although the reward he had prepared was by no means shabby, the wife did not open it to see if it was necessary to be so diligent.
"Have you seen her dark green belt?"
Chunguang, the maid who came with her this time, was suppressed by Qiujuan.
She found an opportunity and hurriedly answered.
Xia Xiaodong nodded.
The wives who welcomed the guests all wore the same belt around their waists, about two inches wide, flat and neat, and looked very neat.
Listen to what Chun Guang means, there is something else going on "That belt has another name, it's called Yuanbao Belt."
Chunguang said with a smile: "On a good day like today, when a daughter-in-law gets a reward, she has to pin it on the back of the belt, exposing the red edge of the reward.
Whoever gets the reward You can tell at a glance.
When the errands are completed in the evening, the wives will compete to see who gets the most rewards.
The first one can go to Sister-in-law Jun to receive ten taels of gold."
This handsome sister-in-law butler really has her own tricks, and she is quite inspiring.
"It's just your nonsense."
Qiujuan saw that Chunguang Barabala had talked a lot, and she felt a little bit offended, so she continued: "It's still early in the day, and most of the people who come here at this hour are ordinary visitors.
Sometimes they meet strange people.
Those who know the rules don’t even get rewards.”
"Now Damin's daughter-in-law has not only received a reward, but we don't need her to carry it inside, and it saves us time.
Naturally, we are happy."
Xia Xiaodong thought about it, and it turned out to be true.
There is a lot of knowledge involved in being a guest.
If nothing else, the time of arrival is very particular.
The more distinguished someone is, the more conceited they are.
They put on airs and show off their scores.
Those who come late seem to be distinguished, but those who come early are either flattered by the invitation; , I came here in advance to avoid causing any trouble.
After all, Xia Xiaodong is a special case.
Taking advantage of the early arrival and the lack of crowds, Xia Xiaodong took Qiujuan and Chunguang and wandered around for a while.
This Juansi Garden was worthy of being rewarded by the emperor.
Several people walked for half a day, but it seemed that they could not walk even half of it.
After resting for a while at Yiyun Pavilion on the side of the mountain, Qiujuan suggested: "Girl, why not go south?
With our pace, by the time we reach Zhanyun Pavilion, it will probably be lunch time."
Chunguang quickly helped: "There is a nine-curved corridor on the edge of Yue Lake.
Walking along the corridor, you can see the water view, and it is cool and not in the sun."
Along the way, I also met a few ladies on the road.
They didn't know each other very well, so they just nodded.
Xia Xiaodong looked up at the sky.
The crisp autumn air was nice.
Why don't there seem to be many people?
Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard a pop not far behind me, as if something heavy had fallen into the water.
Looking back, I saw that the person floating in the water was a person.
Someone fell into the water.
With such a beautiful scenery at such a good time, of course there must be a scene of falling into the water to add some fun.
Qiujuan and Chunguang both hurriedly thought about it.
After walking a few steps, they found that the serving girl had fallen behind and quickly stepped back.

"Girl, why don't you come and take a look?"
Qiujuan felt deeply ashamed of her behavior of leaving the girl behind to watch the fun, and asked without saying anything.
Miss Xia's heels were as if they were nailed to the ground, and she didn't move a step.
She even just turned sideways, but didn't turn around completely.
She obviously didn't intend to pass.
"What's so good about this?"
Xia Xiaodong shook his head.
For artificial lakes like Yuehu where lotus are planted, the water near the shore is usually not very deep and is convenient for digging lotus roots.
If it is too deep, do you have to dive to dig it?
The middle of the lake is indeed very deep for boating and fish farming.
Ever since he was caught by Zhang Wenjuan last time, Xia Xiaodong had kept a distance from all excitement.
