It was the first time for Sheng Weiqiao's party, including Xu Baomo, to visit Chang'an.However, the fabulous sight of willows at the dock, which had been exalted by many poets in history, was diminished by the cover of winter snow.New Year's Eve was around the corner.

Madam Nan said, "When these kids were in Bishui County, they already knew the identify of Zhao Taozhuang and Meng Guihuan. I'm afraid they were already very worried along the way! If we were to ask them about it upon our arrival, they would assume that this is a serious matter so that we come all the way to fetch them despite our seniority.

That was why he did not say anything about this subject. When they arrived at Marquis Mansion, they paid

Chapter 240 Rong Qingzui

Sheng Weiqiao and the others were all looking at the Chinese cymbidium. After hearing her words, they saw a part of a purple robe inside the interlaced leaves of several camellia trees not far away. When they were about to ask, Zhao Taozhuang quickly walked around the flower trees in front of them. She walked in and asked, "Cousin, why are you here alone? Where are your servants?"Although people were open in this dynasty and it was not a big deal for young men and women without blood relationships to meet in private, Sheng Weiqiao thought that she was not familiar with Zhao Family after all. Furthermore, it was the first time for her to be here and she came here to make an apology. Since Zhao Taozhuang and the people inside did not invite them, she stopped. Before Sheng Weiwu and Gongsun Yingjiang came, they were asked to listen to Sheng Weiqiao's word, so they didn't move right now.
