Ye Shi listened attentively for a moment, smiled knowingly, threw away the matter of asking the name of the flower, walked over and took Ling Makeup's hand and said: "Somehow, when I saw my sister, I felt very kind, although I was from a low background, I have seen more nobles in the past two years, that is, those princess misses, not as good as my sister in case, we live close, if my sister does not dislike it, she will move around more in the future, and it is also fate." ”

I never thought that Ye would deliberately make friends, thinking that although what she said was mostly polite, it was quite touching to be so deliberately married.

Ling Xiang thought to herself that the Ye family at least wouldn't be a nobleman, and it was easy to win people's favor when talking to people, and she had been in the aristocratic circle for a few years, and it was cheap to ask her about things in Beijing, and said: "Fourth sister-in-law Chen is too exalted to me, so that the outside will not laugh off her big teeth when she hears it?" However, I also feel that my sister-in-law is amiable, and if my sister-in-law does not think that the merchant is low, please come and sit often. ”

"Merchant low? Our family is not still a business! It's not that the two elder brothers at the head can change it by donating a petty official. What's more, I, as the second sister-in-law said, came out of a poor ravine, what kind of identity? I'm not the same now! ”

Ye Shi said, his face couldn't help but show a look of pride: "My family Langjun is the old son of the old lady, born with a talent, when he was about to marry a slave family, the family didn't know what happened, and in the end he couldn't resist him!" My sister is so colorful, and her background is much better than mine, so there will inevitably be a great transformation. ”

Ling Xiang smiled, looking at Ye's facial features in addition to being darker, but in response to the current trend, his standing posture was slightly chested, with a decent head and face, and a white silk skirt in a bright shirt.

At the moment, the two rearranged their teeth, Ye was two years older than her, and only had a daughter under her knees, especially when she talked about her husband, her eyebrows were fluttering, and she seemed to be very satisfied with this family business.

Ye Shi said again: "You don't have to pay attention to my second sister-in-law's words, her younger brother is an idiot and stunned, and he can't find a daughter from a good family at all, so I'm really anxious for you." ”

Ling Xiang nodded, and after a conversation between the two, they knew that the Chen family had made a fortune by repairing the royal mausoleum, but now that it has done a lot of big work, even the Ministry of Industry, the Craftsman Division and many other big jobs are looking for the Chen brothers, which are rich in oil and water, which makes people blush, but not everyone can learn it.

The emperors of the past dynasties always paid special attention to their own mausoleums, and even more developed in this dynasty to the point that as soon as they ascended the throne, they began to build them. Those who reigned for a short time often never built a mausoleum until their deaths, not to mention that a concubine died in the palace from time to time, and a prince and princess died young, which is the prince and others who can enter the imperial mausoleum, and it is also a glory.

The shape of the imperial mausoleum is exquisite, covering an extremely wide area, what Shinto, the door of the temple, the hall of the temple, the three gates, the star gate, the stone case, the square city, the Ming building, the treasure building, the treasure top, the underground palace, the hall, the stele pavilion set down, the wood and stone pigments purchased are countless, so the Guangshun Zuo Dynasty, the imperial tomb of a camp tomb silver as high as millions of taels, among which the officials responsible for supervising the purchase of how many private pockets are full, not to mention, just look at the Chen family's explosive household wealth, you can know that the people above are making a lot of money.

The most pitiful thing is that most of those mausoleum workers can't escape the fate of death, let alone how much they get paid, but they can only get a false name on the roster, and they have received a lot of unjust money for others.

Of course, the Ye family didn't say it so deeply, the twists and turns of Xiuling were estimated by Ling Makeup, and it seemed that the Chen family ate the people's hard-earned money.

In any case, after talking with Ye's family, Ling Makeup benefited a lot, and it happened that someone was sent to invite her, and Ling Makeup saw that Ye's shoes and her shoes were a little wet, so she invited her back to the room to change a pair of embroidered shoes.

The Dayin royal family is a descendant of Xianbei Murong Yan, there is no wind of foot binding, when changing shoes, they found that the shoes worn by the two were about the same size, Ye said that there was really fate, and saw that the furnishings in the Ling makeup room were not like ordinary daughter's house, so they praised and praised each other, and the two returned to the water pavilion with affection.

At this time, the water pavilion was full of people, and most of the people in the same square had arrived, and the fat fragrance was overflowing for a while, and the children's voices came and went.

The Zhang family pulled Ling Xiang forward one by one to introduce them, and Fang Zhi sat opposite the Lian family, and the first person was Mrs. Xu, the head of the Danjun family, although her husband was no more than a six-grade petty official, in the end, he was stained with the imperial family, and his face couldn't help but be a little arrogant. And because Ruan Shaoqing's wife did not come, only two aunts and younger siblings came to the house, and Mrs. Xu was honored here, so everyone talked around her.

Mrs. Xu brought a daughter who was not out of the cabinet, according to Ye's name, Su Mi, slender and soft, dressed up but also noble, but did not say a word, it was obvious that she looked down on everyone, and she sat next to her mother and did not look at the drama on the stage, but only looked down at the Kodan on her nails repeatedly, which made people look uncomfortable.

The eldest grandmother of the Chen family and the second grandmother were peeling melon seeds, whispering and losing their eyes from time to time, and it was obvious that they did not treat Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter very much, and did not come forward to socialize.

On the other side, the second young grandmother of the Ruan family, Luo, is also dressed ordinarily, and the person is a little restrained and rustic, although the two aunts are dressed up in a fancy way, but they are just half-slaves and half-masters, and they can only come out to meet customers by taking care of a few children, it is estimated that the Ruan family heard that the Ling family is a merchant, so they look down on it and do not pay attention to it.

Mr. Ke's wife, Fan, is a warm person, and she doesn't have any severance, and the rest of the women's relatives are mostly intimate with her, and she is mostly introduced to Lian's and so on.

In fact, these people are in the house of the eunuchs in Beijing, not to mention the bottom, and they are almost the same, and they can't enter the banquet of the real prince's house, even if they enter, they are also the material for the corner.

Ling Xiang observed for a long time, it is possible to climb the son of the lord of Dan County to make friends with Su Mansion, but he is a daughter's family, which is inconvenient, and although Luo Shi can't get on the stage, after all, he is Ruan Shaoqing's brother and daughter-in-law, and he must be filial piety in front of the old lady of Ruan Mansion, so if he can get close to the old lady, it is not impossible to ask Ruan Shaoqing to come forward to help.

It's just a place that can be entrusted to the county king or even the prince's mansion, a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple......

After thinking about it, Taichang Temple is also a place where you can often come into contact with royal nobles, and the sacrifice was originally to serve the emperor himself and his ancestors, which is not unimportant, so she plans to make friends with these two families first.

Zhang's circle, the hour is not early, please everyone to sit at the table, Lian's and Ke Zongjia's family accompanied Mrs. Xu to open a table, Ye led his daughter and Ling Xiang to sit at the table with no official body, and then heard the Zhang family at the next table say who came in front of them.

Only then did Ling Xuan know that Su Gongzi under the knee of the Lord of Danjun and the two sons of the Auxiliary General's Mansion had all come, as well as Ruan Shaoqing's younger brother, Ke Zongjia and his cousins, several sons and nephews, and several other families of men who were idle at home, and opened five seats.

Ling Xiang felt a little strange in his heart, didn't he say that Su Gongzi was still in the filial piety period? It stands to reason that she won't go to the neighbor's house to eat and drink, but for the time being, it's not her turn to worry about this, she wants to pull the relationship, this Su Gongzi is the first one, and he can't help but worry that Lian Chengxian will drink and make a mistake, so Ling Xiang called Pindi to come over and tell her a few words, and let her go to the front hall to see the opportunity to act.

Ye's neighbor said in her ear: "Xu is a woman who remarried, this daughter is just a drag oil bottle brought over, and she can't have anything to do with the royal family, and she thinks she is a character, so she doesn't have to be laughed at by insiders, don't take them seriously." ”

Ling Jiao couldn't help but be secretly surprised, although Da Yin's restraint on women was much lighter than that of the Han emperor's dynasty, and it was very common for folk widows to remarry, but it was not feasible in the upper class.

Lingfu dishes are well prepared, the tea before the meal dried fruit candied gluttony and not to say, the appetizer alone is on the eight courses, there are whitebait, Wuchang fish, lake shrimp, conch and other things, the front soup is selected to be Zhusun to report Changchun, noble and light, the main dish is called a donkey, a product of deer tendon, crab roe lion head, snake two to eat, anchovy shark fin, bergamot gold roll, dry Buddha sea cucumber, iron plate turtle, raw roasted roe deer meat, Buddha jumping over the wall and a few seasonal fresh vegetables, is the pasta cake and other things are also very exquisite.

This meal brought back a lot of the faces of some female relatives who pretended to be high, and some of them were full of praise during the banquet, and some were silent, and Lian smiled gratefully at Zhang's.

Zhang's female celebrity is only fine cooking, plus she knows a few words, she has studied many modern and ancient recipes, and it is also convenient for her husband to buy materials for her to do business.

After the meal, Lian's order was put on the tip of Xinyang's hair, Mrs. Xu sipped carefully, raised her head and smiled: "Mrs. Ling is a person who can enjoy it, this dish is enough for the first banquet guests in the palace, invite us to eat today, wouldn't it be expensive!" ”

Lian Shi politely: "Those who came today are all distinguished guests who can not be invited, what do you say, I hope that the ladies and ladies will be able to come and sit in the future, which will add glory to us." ”

The eldest grandmother of the Chen family, Bi Shi, leaned into the ear of the second grandmother: "What are you talking about in the palace, who are you bluffing, with her identity, can she eat?" ”

Ying pursed his lips and said, "That's hard to say, even if you haven't eaten too hot, don't you have a chance to rub one or two cold dishes?" I heard that she licked her face and wanted to be a daughter to the princess of Yuyang, and she did her filial piety for the deceased Lord Danjun. You say that the concubine is in the way of the face of the horse and her grandson, what can you say? It means that I will go to the palace on the New Year's Festival, and there are cold dishes in the palace, and it is not uncommon to eat one or two bites......

I thought it was funny, and I giggled.

Ying is fat, and there is an obvious scar on her nose, although everyone thinks she laughs weirdly and ugly, but this person is crazy and unruly, and no one wants to make friends with her, so they just ignore her.

After drinking tea, Ling Makeup found that there was no one in the pavilion that had been prepared to make poems and paintings for the young ladies and grandmothers, and everyone deliberately ignored those things.
