The day after Zhuang Duan left, the prince's mansion sent ten people, including Rubing's mother-in-law, to come over, saying that they were ordered to serve the princess's righteous sister.

Mrs. Zhuang was having dinner, leaving Weihuan to talk in the room, listening to Zhang's mother's advice, and sneering: "The people who are monitoring are here, how should Huanniang deal with it?" ”

Wei Wan smiled and said: "Since the people from the Prince's Mansion are here to wait for me, then I should let them do their duty to ensure that they can't leave Drunken Hongxuan." ”

Mrs. Zhuang nodded, and called Mother Xia, who was in charge of the courtyard in Weihuan, to ask her to arrange accommodation and assign things to the people from the Prince's Mansion, so that they were too busy to be distracted from other things.

Rubing was originally the crown princess's personal person, and she asked to serve Weihuan herself.

Weiwan thought that she would not be at ease if she did not monitor herself nearby, so she asked her to wait closely. Rubing is not big, serving Wei Wan is like serving his own master, even such a powerful character as the criminal mother-in-law is also a kind of obedient attitude of listening to the dispatch of the people in the house.

But Wan felt that the more this was the case, the more careful she should be. She pretends to be calm and submissive on the surface, and spends her days doing what girls are supposed to do. Secretly, he is concerned about the new developments in the DPRK and China.

In the afternoon of this day, the sky was semi-cloudy, there was no wind, the air was stuffy, and the yellow bird in the snow-white bamboo cage under the corridor occasionally called a few times, but also shrunk its head. The two snow parrots on the shelf also ignored people, and were amused, so they said, "Long-winded! The tone was clearly dignified.

Wei Wan sat on the bamboo couch of Xiangfei under the window, and Pan Zi and Cui Xi arranged the thread, ready to embroider an interstitial.

Taohong came in with a thin curtain of green bamboo, and said, "Mother Zhang brought the mother sent by the Yellow Lady of Ningbo Mansion to visit the lady." ”

Wei Wan thought that she didn't have a deep relationship with Huang Yueyao in Ningbo Mansion, so what did she send someone to see her? I was puzzled, and I only said please.

After a while, Zhang's mother brought in a middle-aged woman with gold and silver, silk and satin, and a festive appearance.

The woman went to the door and saw three girls of sixteen or seventeen years of age in the room, each busy. The thicker, thick-eyed, big-eyed girl sat sideways on the edge of the couch, with red threads on her hands. Another girl of medium stature, with thin eyebrows, stood on the ground, wrapping the thread in her hand. These two girls were dressed in silk and satin, and their heads were also with gold and silver, and they looked like ladies from wealthy families.

On the contrary, the girl sitting on the couch was dressed very plainly and simply: she was dressed in a homely aqua blue short, the blue was so light that there was nothing, and the small bellflower of the same color with dark lines shone in the sun; a long blue dress embroidered with blue and white orchids on the skirt; Loosely holding the heart bun, a white jade finch's hairpin was inserted, and the pearl tassel with colorful streamers hung down for a long time, trembling slightly on the sideburns with the flow of the eye waves in the charming phoenix eyes.

The mother-in-law was stunned, but she only felt that the girl was beautiful, and the person was more beautiful, so beautiful that she didn't know how to describe it.

Peach coughed lightly, and the mother-in-law woke up, and hurriedly greeted the most simple and beautiful girl: "The villain has seen the lady." Our Yueyao lady asked the lady how she was. ”

It was rumored in Jingzhong that Jing Hou found a concubine in the people, and originally thought that the girl who grew up in the countryside must be vulgar, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful and elegant, although the clothes are ordinary, but the style of the whole body is not the daughter of the family! The mother-in-law's original contempt immediately disappeared in her heart, and she became respectful in her heart.

Weiwan put the line down and said with a smile: "Mom, please take a seat." ”

Pan Zi brought the pestle. The woman thanked her, and half-leaned over to put her ass on the pestle.

Cui Xi brought the tea.

When the mother-in-law saw Cuixi's all-round style, she knew that she was the big girl next to the master's wife, so she hurriedly stood up and held the tea, and said with a smile: "How dare you work girl?" ”

Cui Xi smiled and reassured: "Our lady is the most kind. Mom just drinks tea, sits and talks to the lady. ”

The mother-in-law sat down at this time, and sat down.

Weiwan asked with a smile while arranging the line: "How are you Yueyao Niang?" What have you been doing at home lately? ”

The mother-in-law smiled and replied, "The Yueyao lady in our house has been busy making dowries recently. ”

Wei Wan was sorting out the red silk threads that had been divided, and when she heard this, her delicate and delicate hand like a white orchid petal stopped in the air holding the red silk thread, and said in surprise: "What? Yueyao has made a family appointment? Whose son? "Remembering that not long ago, Yue Yao was bent on marrying Dongfang Yi, and she was engaged to someone else so quickly, which is really unpredictable.

The mother-in-law smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and said, "It's the son of Jihou Mansion." What a gentlemanly and handsome son......"

"The prince of Jihou Mansion? But the son surnamed Shen Minglang and the word Taotao? Wei Wan was secretly surprised.

Didn't Wei Hong promise to marry Lord Wanhua and Shen Lang? Although the intention has not yet been lowered, this is a good thing, why did Shen Lang get engaged to Yueyao?

The mother-in-law smiled: "Isn't it Shen Lang Shen Gongzi." Not only the lady couldn't think of it, but even our uncle and wife couldn't think of it. Originally, it was said that Shen Shizi had no intention of getting married, and he didn't want to get engaged in the past few years. Ji Houye dotes on this son again, and everything is up to him, so he didn't talk about marriage with anyone. Who knew that half a month ago, the Shen family sent someone to propose marriage! It's really a good marriage for a talented woman and a good family! Our Yueyao lady said that there is not much time left to be a girl at home, so she will get together with her sisters while she is not married. Our lady specially prepared fresh seasonal food, and invited the lady to come to the Ningbo Mansion, and everyone was affectionate. As he spoke, he put the tea bowl on the small table of the black lacquered luodian flower with both hands, took out the big red sticker from his arms, and handed it over with both hands.

Pan Zi took it and handed it to Wei Huan. Wei Wan opened it and glanced at it, and when she saw that the scheduled date was three days later, she said, "...... If it's okay that day, I'll go. Mom, do you know who else she invited? Is there a Wanhua county lord? ”

The smile on the woman's face was slightly reduced, and she said, "I heard that the county lord is unwell and can't come." ”

After saying a few more words, Pan Zi rewarded the woman and sent her away.

Wei Wan thought about the sneer that flashed in the mother-in-law's eyes when she talked about the Lord of Wanhua. There must be some reason why a subordinate dared to show such a look when he mentioned the county lord...... Shen Lang, the prince of Jihou Shi, was so eager to get engaged, what happened? The engagement of the two clans should be spread among the clans, but obviously no one knows about this matter, but it seems to be a secret engagement, can the lord of Wanhua know these things?

The more I thought about it, the more worried I was about Lord Wanhua, so I called Cui Xilai. "When you go back to Madame, you will say that I am going to visit the Wanhua County Lord of Qingping Palace, and ask my mother to prepare for me."

Cui Xi went, and the kung fu of a cup of tea returned. "Madame said that it was late today, please go back tomorrow."

Wei Wan nodded, and said no more.
