The man in white clothes walked leisurely on the road to the Prime Minister's Mansion with his hands behind his back. There was no one around him. It was as if he was taking a walk in his own garden.
Although he was a little angry because he didn't see Wu Sheyue, the little girl who stopped him was really interesting.
He touched his chin, thinking that this little girl was very interesting. How did she control those ghosts? When he thought of what the little girl just said, "I have enough stuff in the yard to play with you until dawn~" he felt itchy in his heart~
If someone hadn't come, he would definitely not have left. He was particularly curious about what other ghosts looked like.
Hmm...are those really ghosts
He suddenly thought of the grimace that suddenly fell in front of him at the door. It was obviously the head of a cute big puppet.
The corners of the man's mouth curled up slightly. Since the monk could run away, he couldn't run away from the temple. He had plenty of opportunities to ask again.

Twenty days later, when the old lady’s birthday came, the embroiderer also sent newly made clothes to each courtyard.
Wu Sheyue sighed that all the clothes she had not worn in the first few years were replaced this year. At the beginning, the old lady sent a bunch of ready-made ones, and after doing it twice, she finally surpassed the other sisters once.
Early in the morning on the day of the birthday banquet, Wu Sheyue asked Ning'er to help her try on clothes.
This time the old lady made a new set of aqua blue chest-length skirt. The skirt was on a dark green background with lotus leaves embroidered on it. Once she put it on, her whole body looked like a pool of lake water. It was so tender and tender. people.
Wu Sheyue found the aqua crystal and hung it on the chest-high lace. This combination really complemented each other.
She asked Ning'er to tie her hair into a double bun, and then found a few floral hairpins with white yellow pistils in the box that the old lady gave her and put them on.
When she finally got dressed up, Ning'er was amazed by her admiration. She couldn't help but say, "My third young lady is so pretty~"
Wu Sheyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror and sighed again. This skin is really good. Why didn't she have one in her previous life? Wu Sheyue thought and suddenly felt good. She asked Ning'er, "What time is it now?"
Ning'er looked at Tian'er outside, "It's still a while, but there are a lot of guests coming today, shall we go early?"
"Let's go and take a look first."
Wu Sheyue has never gone out for a walk since she came here. Day and night, she is scheming with the monsters in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is so exhausted! Now it was her first time to attend a large social event in nearly a month. She wanted to go over and have a look. Ancient banquets should also be quite interesting~
After a while.
Wu Sheyue led Ning'er to the back garden, and she discovered that it was actually not too early at this point.
There were several tables of pastries placed in the garden, and many people were already sitting there. Wu Sheyue saw the old lady sitting at a small table from a distance.
The old lady was dressed very festively today. Her rose-colored dress was hemmed with silver thread, and her opal-colored forehead was slowly glowing in the midsummer. Several officials and wives sitting near her were talking to her. The old lady kept smiling, and the wrinkles on her face deepened.
Aunt Meng and Aunt Liu stood behind her, one on the left and one on the right, with smiles on their faces.
Wu Liuyun was sitting closely next to the old lady. Her usually calm face showed no big expression, which showed that this aloof granddaughter was much loved by the old lady.
Wu Liuyun was wearing a light purple gradient placket today, and her flowing cloud bun perfectly matched her name. There was only a golden butterfly hairpin on her head, and a crystal the size of a fingernail hung down from the hairpin. The size and shape were the same as Wu Sheyue's. It's just that her crystal is not a pure color, but orange with a hint of blush, which is very beautiful.
Seeing this, Wu Sheyue also touched the blue crystal on her chest strap. Sure enough, the best was reserved for his direct descendants.
Wu Sheyue originally wanted to see where Jiang Qingxue and the other aunts and sisters were, but the old lady had already spotted her with sharp eyes, and said to the ladies next to her: "Look, my Yue Yatou coming."
After hearing this, several noble ladies over there turned around to look for Wu Sheyue. Wu Sheyue had no choice but to greet him with a sweet smile.
"Grandma~"
The old lady greeted her with a smile: "Come on, come on, Yue'er, come up here."
Wu Sheyue ran over with a cheerful look on her face, took the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, Yue'er thought she was here early."
"It's better to come earlier and get to know more people."
The ladies stared at Wu Sheyue curiously and asked, "Old madam, is this your third young lady?"
Wu Sheyue turned around and saluted lively, "Yes, Yue'er has met all the ladies."
The ladies looked at each other, looked around Wu Sheyue with a bit of surprise, and then smiled in admiration: "Oh, I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"
The old lady has always wanted all her granddaughters to marry into famous families in the future, but now only Wu Sheyue has not been promoted. Now these are the principal wives of various officials, and it must be useful for them to get to know their granddaughters more.
So the old lady quickly introduced her: "Yue'er, this is General Shen's wife."
Wu Sheyue immediately greeted her, "I've met the general's wife."
"Miss Third, you're welcome." The general's wife looked very gentle and spoke softly, which made people feel comfortable. Wu Sheyue had a very good impression of her.
After that, the old lady introduced several other ladies, and Wu Sheyue greeted them all.
The interaction here was lively, chatting and laughing, but Aunt Meng and Aunt Liu, who were waiting beside the old lady, were not very happy. They are both granddaughters, so why do they have to introduce them so grandly? I have never seen the old lady praise other granddaughters so highly before.
At the same time, they were also thinking about their daughters. Why didn't their children come over earlier to make things better
Aunt Liu teased half-heartedly, "Miss Third is the most popular now. The old lady always talks about Miss Third."
After hearing this, the old lady knew what the two concubines behind her meant. Normally she wouldn't know how to manage money, but today she didn't want to cause any displeasure, so she asked Wu Sheyue, "Can Yue'er see Jinghua and the others?"
Wu Sheyue shook her head and said: "No, Yue'er came here just for her grandmother and hasn't gone to find her sisters yet."
The noble ladies smiled and whispered, "Miss Third is quite good at talking..."
"Yeah, he looks quite smart."
The old lady was of course made happy by Wu Sheyue. She patted the silent Wu Liuyun on the shoulder and said, "You two sisters should also go and walk around. You don't have to sit here with me, the old lady. You can take a look by the way." Where have Jinghua and the others gone?"
Hearing what the old lady said, the two aunts behind were a little happy. (To be continued)
