67 Update: Update
returned to the Yasukuni Marquis' Mansion, except for the irrepressible joy on Ouyang Luoyue's face, there was no glory for the marriage on the faces of other people, as if this marriage was a disaster for the Yasukuni Marquis' Mansion.
Back in the back house, Ouyang Luoyue had long wanted to tell Aunt Zhang the good news that she had been named a side concubine to the third prince, so that Aunt Zhang could also raise her eyebrows!
What happened to the concubine? The concubines can still marry into the heavenly family like those concubines and become the prince's concubines!
"Mother, I'm tired today, it's not early, the moon won't bother my mother, so I'll go down first." Ouyang Luoyue said softly, but there was an unconcealable excitement in her words.
The goal has been achieved, so there is no need to behave in front of Mrs. Ouyang!
Mrs. Ouyang was worried about the marriage at this time, and she didn't have much to think about Ouyang Luoyue, she could see that Ouyang Luoyue really wanted to join the heavenly family, and she could do what her mother should do, and when the time came, she would prepare a dowry when she got married, and let her marry beautifully.
Although Mrs. Ouyang said that she would not target these two concubines like other concubines, if she wanted her to be good to them with her heart, she couldn't do it, all she could do was to follow the rules and regulations, what should I do, that's all.
"Well, I guess I'm tired today, so you can go back to your yard and rest first." Mrs. Ouyang's words naturally include the two sisters Ouyang Luoyue.
Ouyang Luoyue got the position of the third prince's side concubine at the Yingxiu banquet, which made Ouyang Luoying a little uneven, but Ouyang Luoying was not Ouyang Luoyue, she didn't dazzle Ronghua and wealth.
The ancestral training of the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion named the daughter of the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion not to join the Heavenly Family, and she could see that the crisis in this part of the Heavenly Family was much more severe than other things.
To be a man is to learn to protect oneself wisely, she Ouyang Luoying is not a brainless person, so she can see it very clearly, but for today's Yingxiu banquet, she has also gained a lot, although it did not meet her expected requirements, but she can enter the eyes of the ladies in Beijing, and she can also seek a good marriage.
Because of this, when Mrs. Ouyang asked the two sisters to go back to their yard, Ouyang Luoying naturally had no objections.
"Yes, Mother."
Ying Ying saluted, and the two sisters of Ouyang Luoyue left for their own courtyard.
The gloom between Mrs. Ouyang's brows showed that her mood was not bright, Ouyang Xinlan was very distressed to see it, for the sake of her marriage, she made her mother bother.
"Mother, if you feel unwell, can Xin'er help her mother go back to the hospital to rest?"
Mrs. Ouyang also wanted to stay with her daughter for a while, so she agreed to Ouyang Xinlan's request, "My Xin'er really sympathizes with me as a mother, so please trouble Xin'er to send me back to the hospital." β
"This is what Xin'er should do, and mother doesn't need to say thank you." After Ouyang Xinlan got Mrs. Ouyang's permission, she immediately stepped forward to help Mrs. Ouyang, and then slowly walked towards Mrs. Ouyang's sparse theater.
Just when he was about to leave, he saw Yuan Bo, the chief housekeeper in the mansion, come forward and report, "Madam, there are people from the Seventh Prince's side outside at this time, saying that they are sending gifts to our eldest lady." β
Gift? Sent by the Seventh Prince?
Ouyang Xinlan remained silent, maintaining the same expression, and asked, "Someone sent by the Seventh Prince?" "This banquet has just ended, and the Seven Princes have sent someone to send this inexplicable gift, and I really don't know what it means!
"Yes, Miss, at this moment, the giver is still waiting in the side hall in front." The chief butler Yuan Bo said respectfully.
"Xin'er......" Mrs. Ouyang asked Ouyang Xinlan.
Similarly, she was also very puzzled by the Seventh Prince's move, but the Seventh Prince's sending someone to give gifts, they couldn't be rude here, "In that case, then Xin'er will go over and take a look first." β
"That Xin'er is going to send her mother back...... "This is not good after all!"
"I'm fine here, Xin'er can't be rude." Mrs. Ouyang said considerately.
"Well, then Xin'er will go to see her mother later." In that case, then she should first go and see what gifts the Seven Princes had sent her.
Mrs. Ouyang nodded, and then was helped back to the theater by her personal maid.
After Mrs. Ouyang left, Ouyang Xinlan said to the chief steward, "Where is the person sent by the Seventh Prince?" also bothered Uncle Yuan to lead the way. β
"In the side hall in front, Miss, please!"
Then I saw Yuan Bo leading the way, and Ouyang Xinlan walked towards the front hall.

In the side hall in front of the Yasukuni Marquis's Mansion, Xiao Luzi was instructed by the Seventh Prince to give his master a gift to his master's fiancΓ©e.
However, at this time, no one came, and Xiaoluzi was a little bored waiting.
Thinking that his master really said that the wind is the rain, he left immediately after getting married at the Yingxiu banquet, and as soon as the banquet was dispersed, he sent him over to send a gift to express his affection, and told him to deliver it as soon as possible.
He will do whatever the master says, what else can he do except send it to Miss Ouyang in a hurry?
Picked up the tea served by the maidservant, took a shallow sip, and secretly sighed that the tea that the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion entertained was really good tea!
While tasting tea, he began to look at the side hall of the Yasukuni Marquis' Mansion, which was simple and thick, and there was no trace of publicity, and he secretly said that the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion really knew how to be low-key, and it was no wonder that it could stand for a hundred years.
When Xiao Luzi looked at the front hall and looked at it, the main master finally appeared.
At the Yingxiu banquet, Xiao Luzi naturally met Ouyang Xinlan, Xiao Luzi thought that his master's vision of people was still problematic, so many virtuous and virtuous nobles in Beijing were not selected, how could he choose this Ouyang Miss, who was infamous in Beijing.
While Xiao Luzi lamented the master's vision in his heart, he also told himself that no matter what the master's vision was, he had to be respectful to Miss Ouyang, and he must not slack off in the slightest.
"The slave is a small road on the β‘ side of the Seven Princes' Palace, and I have seen Miss Ouyang." Salute respectfully.
"Xiaoluzi's father-in-law is polite, how can Ouyang Xinlan bear it!" Ouyang Xinlan said weakly, the person who can send gifts to the Seventh Prince must be the personal service of the Seventh Prince.
As the saying goes: Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult. She will marry the Seventh Prince as a concubine later, and the comfort she wants in the Seventh Prince's mansion is bound to not offend the people who serve the Seventh Prince.
Although she doesn't have to please her, she can't be offended by letting them wear small shoes.
"Miss Ouyang is frightened by the minions, this time I came to disturb the eldest miss, and the minions also came over on the orders of our master." Xiao Luzi didn't serve the Seventh Prince for a day or two, and it was really the first time for him to make his master do this, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke Ouyang Xinlan.
"I really don't know what I can do, I was able to get into the eyes of the Seventh Highness, which really made the Seventh Highness break the cost." Ouyang Xinlan smiled lightly.
"Don't slander yourself, the slave believes in the vision of our master." This means what the vision of the Seven Princes is, and he, who is a slave, has no right to question. "Come, present the master's gift."
As soon as the words fell, the little eunuch with the tray behind the path came up and offered it, only to see a carved and exquisite sandalwood box on the red brocade cloth.
"Miss, please!"
What did she refuse a gift from her fiancΓ©?
Ouyang Xinlan motioned to Lu Yun behind to take the tray in the little eunuch's hand, and after the things arrived in Lu Yun's hands, Ouyang Xinlan said: "Your Royal Highness Seventh has broken the fee, and it is really hard for your father-in-law." β
As he spoke, he glanced at Green Sleeves, who immediately stepped forward and stuffed a brocade bag into Xiao Luzi.
"This is a matter within the slave's share, not to mention whether it is hard or not, and it is the blessing of us to be slaves to be able to share the worries and solve problems for the master." Xiao Luzi had already refined himself in the palace, and quietly took the brocade bag stuffed by the green sleeves, and the weight of the brocade bag made Xiao Luzi very satisfied.
"I've been bothered for a long time, and the minion has taken his leave first." The gift has been delivered, and the reward has been received, so there is no reason to delay here.
"My father-in-law is busy, so I won't delay my father-in-law's time. Uncle Yuan, please send Xiaoluzi's father-in-law and them out! "This task of sending off guests Ouyang Xinlan was handed over to Uncle Yuan.
"Yes, Miss!" Then Uncle Yuan said to Xiao Luzi, "Father-in-law, please!" β
Xiao Luzi nodded at Uncle Yuan, and then left the front hall.
Later, when he arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Yuan Bo stuffed a brocade bag for Xiao Luzi again, but this brocade bag had no weight, which made Xiao Luzi secretly complain about Yuan Bo's stinginess.
However, after Xiao Luzi got into the carriage back to the palace, he opened the brocade bag given to him by Yuan Bosai and saw that there was actually a silver ticket of fifty taels inside, which made Xiao Luzi speechless, and he really didn't expect that there was such a thing in this brocade bag.
But it's okay, I got so many rewards, and I didn't lose at all when I came to this trip!

After Xiao Luzi left, Ouyang Xinlan didn't delay for long in the side hall in front, and led her two maids to her Lan Xuan.
Green Sleeves looked at the sandalwood box in the tray under the green clouds, and was very curious about what it contained. "Green Cloud, guess what gift His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince gave to our young lady!"
"How do I know this, it's all in a box." Green Cloud didn't have the curiosity of Green Sleeves, she was only responsible for bringing the gifts of the Seven Princes back to Lan Xuan.
"Miss, what do you say? What kind of gift will the Seven Princes give you? Green Sleeves couldn't get an answer from Green Cloud, so he turned his attention to the owner who received the gift.
Ouyang Xinlan, who asked Greensleeves, laughed and laughed, she didn't even touch this gift, how could she know what was inside, "As far as you girl is curious, it's okay to be in front of me, but if it's in front of others, you can't ask like this." β
Green sleeves usually manage her a lot, but there is still no shortage of delicate girls who belong to them.
"What exactly is in here, will you find out soon after Lan Xuan?"
Greensleeves stuck out her tongue secretly, she knew she was asking a question that shouldn't have been asked.
Then Green Sleeves didn't say anything more, and quietly followed behind Ouyang Xinlan, and it didn't take long for the master and servant to arrive at Lan Xuan.
In order to satisfy the curiosity of Green Sleeves, which can kill a cat, after arriving at Lan Xuan, Ouyang Xinlan called the carved exquisite sandalwood box, but the contents of this sandalwood box made the corners of Ouyang Xinlan's originally upturned mouth suddenly fall down.
On the bottom of the sandalwood box was a yellow brocade cloth, and on top of the brocade cloth, a carved white jade fox appeared in sight.
The whole white jade fox is three inches high, and the jade used for carving is the high-quality Hetian mutton fat white jade, and the fox's frolicking appearance is lively and agile, as if it can come to life in the blink of an eye.
Although the green sleeves are Ouyang Xinlan's personal maid, it is the first time she has seen such a big white jade carving, and she can see that her mouth is slightly open, and the surprise on her face is not hidden, "Wow, Miss, the gift of the Seven Princes is really reluctant, such a big white jade carving, the slave maid is the first time to see it." β
After looking at it for a moment, "It's just that the Seventh Prince would think of giving Miss you a white jade fox like this, it's really strange!" β
How can there be a young lady to send a fox, although it is only a jade carving.
Lu Yun noticed the change in her young lady when Ouyang Xinlan opened the lid of the sandalwood box, looking at the heartless appearance of Green Sleeves, she felt that she should pull Green Sleeves out.
"Miss, you've been tired all day today, the slave will go to the small kitchen and order to prepare hot water for you to bathe, Green Sleeves, didn't you say before that you wanted to make your best pastries for Miss, let's go together." After speaking, he couldn't help but pull the green sleeves and leave.
Greensleeves wanted to say that she had said that she was going to make pastries, and then saw that Green Cloud gave her a look, and she also left the house with Green Cloud in silence.
After arriving at the courtyard, Lu Yun nodded Green Sleeve's forehead, "Did you really not see it or did you not see the change in Miss's face." β
"Huh?!" Green sleeves covered her forehead, and then thought about it, as if Miss's face had changed, "Don't you like the gift that the Seventh Prince gave Miss?" β
It's not stupid, "If you like it, will Miss change her face?" Let's go, go to the kitchenette! After speaking, he walked towards Lan Xuan's small kitchen without paying attention to the green sleeves.
"But why don't you like it, I think that fox is very good-looking." Green Sleeves muttered, wondering why his young lady was displeased.
Muttering and muttering, Green Sleeves still followed Green Cloud to the small kitchen. 166 Reading Network
