In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the seventh month, the day of the Fragrance Community Meeting.

On this day, the whole of Kyoto boiled over, and even the farmers who sold mountain goods in the market knew that there was such a day. Early in the morning, Tianxia Street, where the Piaoxiang Society is located, was cleaned up, and martial law was implemented on all sides, and two teams of ironclad and steel-gun sergeants on the left and right stood on both sides, blocking the crowd watching the excitement with their spears.

Looking at the soap-colored clothes of these martial law sergeants, you can know that they are the officials of the Shuntian Mansion in the capital.

The owner of the Piaoxiang Club is Wen Yan, the granddaughter of today's old prime minister Wen Xiang, who is sixteen years old this year, which is the age of youth and beauty. She has been in the palace since she was a child to be Princess Zhaomin's companion, and Princess Zhaomin founded this Piaoxiang Club together, after Princess Zhaomin got married, the position of the head of the Piaoxiang Club was held by Wen Yan, and Princess Zhaomin will also attend the group of heroes from time to time. Because of this relationship, on the day of the Piaoxiang Community Ying Meeting, as long as Wen Yan repaired a letter to Shuntianfu in the name of Princess Zhaomin, Shuntianfu Yin did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent people to maintain law and order in the capital and implement martial law.

On this day, the Yuanping Marquis Mansion is also like the other Marquis Mansions in the capital, quite lively.

As soon as the day dawned, the mothers-in-law who were waiting for the young lady in each room called the young lady in their own yard to get up, and the large kitchen got the old lady's order early in the morning to boil the water early for the young ladies in each room to take it.

Gu Zhirong was also woken up by Cai Qing when the sky was slightly bright, bathed and changed clothes, prayed with Fanxiang, and tossed it down, but it took nearly an hour.

The jade cicada's dexterity, only a quarter of an hour to fiddle, then combed a delicate cone, saw a red gold phoenix ruby ruby hairpin lying quietly in the lacquered dressing box, without thinking about it, he reached over and wanted to take it to his own lady to wear.

"Don't wear this, just wear the two Qionghua hairpins next to you. Gu Zhirong commanded.

Jade Chan hesitated a little: "Miss......"

In her own lady's makeup box, the most valuable is the red gold phoenix ruby ruby hairpin, which is the head of the lady when she was alive, very valuable, only worn on very solemn occasions, so the number of times you wear it is very small, adding up to no more than ten times. This is the first time that the young lady has participated in the banquet of the Miss Circle in Beijing, and if she doesn't dress up beautifully and eye-catching, I'm afraid she will be compared.

What's more, this is about the face of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion......

"Just do what I say. Gu Zhi said.

The jade cicada was not good at disobeying her own miss's words, so she had to pick up the two plain hairpins and put them on for her own young lady.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Lu Shui had already brought back breakfast, and after using it, he went to the old lady's room to listen to the lecture for a while.

Taking advantage of the efforts to listen to the lecture, Gu Zhirong secretly looked at the second and fourth misses, and sure enough, they were dressed up to attend, with bright eyes and pink cheeks, red lips and jade faces, bright and dazzling. At this time, the second lady Gu Yuanfang turned her head and glared at Gu Zhirong fiercely, glaring at her inexplicably, and she didn't know why. The fourth young lady Gu Yuanqin looked at her with a smile, and her peaceful and amiable smile made Gu Zhi feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but secretly warn herself that she must be careful when she stays at the group meeting of the Piaoxiang Society.

In a short time, the carriage in the courtyard was ready, the door of the house was wide open, and the ladies got into the carriage in order. The carriage of the second lady was the most ornate of the carriages that rushed to the Heroes' Meeting, with a royal blue canopy as the top, and the folded feathers and tassels fluttered in all directions, showing the old lady's favor. Gu Zhirong took Cai Qing to the side and let the second lady get into the carriage first.

When the second young lady passed in front of her, she suddenly paused, turned her head, stared at her sharply, and said in a low voice: "Don't think that those little tricks between you and the fourth sister will hide from me, I advise you to be honest and admit defeat obediently, so as not to end up ruined." ”

Gu Zhirong pursed a smile on his lips, his face did not change at all, and he said respectfully: "Thank you Second Sister for reminding me, but what about it, Second Sister said this too early, and it is not certain who wins and who loses." ”

The second lady bit her lip and said viciously: "Okay, don't blame me for not missing sisterhood when the time comes." ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves hard and walked quickly to his carriage. Beside him, Gu Zhirong's respectful words came: "Sister, let's go." ”

When all the ladies got into the carriage one after another, the coachman who drove the carriage raised his horsewhip, and the car drove towards Tianxia Street.

"Mother Du, what do you think?" On the side of the pavilion, the figure of the old lady turned out, and she obviously saw the scene just now.

Mother Du answered, and said in a deep voice: "As far as today's is concerned, Sister Fang'er's dress is nothing more than the most eye-catching, this rose gold inlaid red spring pomegranate skirt, the phoenix title red treasure gold silk bead hairpin inserted on the head, and a silver leaf silk jade bracelet hanging on the wrist, isn't it customized for her when the old lady was young? ”

The old lady snorted and did not speak.

Mother Du's heart was at a loss, she didn't know whether she was right or wrong, she secretly glanced at the old lady, and saw that the old lady looked happy and angry, but she was looking at her, she was busy and said: "Today's Sister Qin is also good, the makeup is exquisite, and the vermilion flower on the forehead is very eye-catching." ”

The old lady snorted again, but still did not speak.

Mother Du had to say all the thoughts in her heart: "According to the slave maid, this Sister Rong's dress is more elegant, after all, it is a rare gathering of the young lady of the official family in the capital......, why is it so unpolished?

Before she finished her words, she only heard the old lady say: "You will tell you later, the big girls in Sister Fang and Sister Qin's house will halve their monthly money this month." ”

Mother Du was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "Old lady, why do you want to ......?"

The old lady said as she walked, "Didn't I let you go to the rooms to spread the word earlier?

Mother Du followed closely and said: "The old lady asked me to send a message in the morning, saying that there would be nobles coming to the Heroes Club, so that the sisters in each room could dress up well, and also said that this nobleman was an extremely noble person in the palace, or a male guest, and the people in the palace privately thought that the emperor would come......"

The old lady paused suddenly, and said with an angry face: "Since you know that the emperor is coming, why do you dress up like this, is it possible to be selected to enter the palace as a show girl, and not to be a concubine in the harem?"

In the general Hou Mansion, there are school-age sisters in the mansion, and they all squeeze their heads to take the path of the draft, but the old lady doesn't think so. If it is said to be a draft, those sisters who are concubines are just that, why bother to gamble with the identity of concubines? The sisters in her house, one is one of the top ten ladies in the capital today, and the other is the backup of the top ten celebrities, with such a status and prestige, it is too condescending to be a concubine in the harem. Moreover, the harem has always been competing for favor, and the emperor is weak and sickly, if there is a case, then the sister who is sent to the palace will not have to be widowed?

Mother Du secretly sighed at the old lady's shrewdness, and said: "Perhaps, they want to get into the eyes of the emperor first, and the emperor will appoint the crown princess......"

"Confused!" the old lady said sharply, "Throughout the years, the emperor has even reduced the number of times he has come to the court by nearly half, and there is a lot of medicine all day long, where will there be any spare time to come to this little group of heroes! I think this time, the prince is very likely......."

"Prince!" Mother Du was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the outfits of the two most promising sisters in the house before leaving the house, and her face couldn't help but turn gray.

The old lady let out a long sigh: "I don't think our Yuanning Marquis Mansion will have no hope at all, but I see that Sister Rong is dressed generously and elegantly today, and she may be able to enter the eyes of the prince......"

The old lady pursed her lips and stopped talking, her brows full of worry.
