136 upstarts

In order to avoid suspicion, and for fear that Lord He would suspect Mrs. Shi, An Shi did not come to He Mansion again in the past few days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yuxuan also heard some news intermittently, Master He was expected to be promoted, because he was impeached, and there was no news about the position of the servant of the Ministry of Justice.

However, after other officials outside Beijing entered Beijing, they were entrusted with important tasks, and there were more carriages for officials and female dependents in the city, and you came and went to feast constantly.

There is also a thick pile of invitations on An's desk, the most eye-catching of which is the gilded post of the eldest princess Mingli.

At this time last year, the eldest princess did not have an An family in the list of the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

The eldest princess has always been above the top, and she has always only invited good wives and nobles, as well as the upstarts who appeared in the court, Jiang Mutong was not favored at that time, but she was an official who relied on her father-in-law's family, and the eldest princess had not yet taken it seriously.

This year, An's got an invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, which was stained with the light of his daughter who was about to marry into the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.

It's just an unwritten practice in this dynasty, the daughter's family will no longer participate in these banquets when she is married, and embroider the dowry at home with peace of mind, also in order to give the opportunity to other girls and young ladies who are not yet home.

On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, An's got up early to dress up carefully, and accompanied Yuxuan to choose one dress after another, but he was not satisfied.

Yuxuan doesn't care about this, although she and her second cousin are not directly married, but both parents have intentions, and the beauty of the banquet is more exquisite, it doesn't matter to Yuxuan.

What Yuxuan values is the upstart in Beijing who attended the banquet. Befriending the daughters of these families may help the career of the second cousin and brother in the future.

Isn't it too early to think about this? Yuxuan sweetly denied her purpose in her heart, and a flush rose on her face.

An Shi saw that Yuxuan's face was red, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with your face?" Is it a fever? ”

Yuxuan was embarrassed, and said with some embarrassment: "It's nothing, maybe it's too thick and hot." ”

Ann said: "This night is cool and hot, I have already said that you should wear that pink, although it is thinner but it is just right to put a cloak on the outside, you just don't listen......"

She never closed her mouth at the beginning, from dressing to talking about how to deal with people on weekdays.

Yuxuan has a headache, why does her mother nag more and more as she gets older?

Fortunately, the eldest princess's mansion arrived, and An's stopped and helped Chuncao get out of the carriage.

The style of the eldest princess's mansion is even worse than that of the Xinguo Mansion, and the maid who led the way only accepted the name of the invitation, and led the way in front without saying a word, without looking at An's mother and daughter out of the corner of her eyes.

Yuxuan kept her head down and followed her mother, and she didn't have much interest in looking at the surrounding scenery.

In the hall, the Duchess of Xinguo and the Marquis of Xuanping came early.

They are all acquaintances of An's family, and they also appreciate An's gentleness, at this time, when they saw An's mother and daughter, Mrs. Xuanping Hou opened her mouth first: "Mrs. An, here." ”

An Shi walked over with Yuxuan with a smile and greeted the ladies present.

Mrs. Xuanping Hou stood up and led An Shi over, and said to the Duchess of Xinguo and the eldest princess: "Speaking of which, I am the matchmaker of Huaiyin Marquis and Yuxuan, and I am sure to eat the big carp in Shilang's Mansion, so don't be blushing." ”

Duchess Xinguo smiled and nodded with An's, and said, "When I see Zhiyi when I go back, I have to talk about him well, why didn't such a good thing come to me and let this monkey take advantage." ”

Everyone laughed, and the eldest princess asked, "How is the dowry embroidered by the girl?" I used to see her and Shuyang are good, I thought that I was impatient with Shuyang and those who embroidered and painted, who knew that I would be able to sit down and embroider something. ”

An said: "It's also an unbearable character, only the hijab is embroidered by herself, and the rest is not to invite the embroiderer." ”

The eldest princess nodded: "It's good to be able to embroider a hijab, what kind of tricks do people like us want, some embroidery girls are served, there is no need to be lean on this." ”

Mrs. Xuanping Hou laughed at her and said, "You are excusing your family Shuyang, right?" Yuxuan can still sit at home, how did I hear that your Shuyang overturned Renjiale Fang? ”

The eldest princess smiled: "That stupid girl didn't know who I heard that Liu Yi followed someone to Lefang to eat flower wine, and went to make trouble without inquiring clearly, and it turned out to be an oolong." I'm not embarrassed to come out today to help me entertain guests. ”

Gong Xinguo covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "There is really a mother and a daughter, and the majestic Shuyang who was in charge of the horse back then inherited a complete one." I see that the son of Liu Ge's hometown will also be a husband in the future. ”

Mrs. Xuanping Hou disagreed: "It should be stricter, why do their men spend all day drinking outside, and we women have to take care of their concubines, concubines, and concubines?" ”

When they said this, Ahn just smiled and didn't interject.

Yuxuan secretly admired, sure enough, the wife of the Xungui family is strong, it seems that my sister will not worry about no one to support her in the future.

Duchess Xinguo was careful, and seeing that An only smiled and listened and did not speak, Yuxuan sat there and quietly looked down at her toes.

She said to An's: "Why did I see your little daughter this time, she was dignified and beautiful?" But please raise grandma? ”

An replied: "I didn't specifically ask for advice on raising grandma, but I studied with Princess Qing for a few days before she got married." ”

Speaking of Princess Qing, the eldest princess said: "Ying girl will give birth in a few months?" ”

The topic of the ladies was tilted from managing men to giving birth to confinement in an instant.

Yuxuan was a little embarrassed to continue to sit down, stood up and bent her knees to the ladies, and asked, "I don't know where Sister Shuyang is, it's inconvenient for me to go over to find her?" ”

Duchess Xinguo smiled: "Your sister Shuyang made that joke a while ago, and was detained by the queen into the palace to make the rules. You go to the little garden in the back, and it's full of girls your age. ”

Mrs. Xuanping Hou also said: "Patronizing our girls to talk, I forgot that the little girl was there." Go quickly, find your little girl to talk about raising flowers and studying, don't listen to our parents' shortcomings. ”

Yuxuan curtsied, and as soon as she turned around and walked out of the hall, a green maid nodded and showed her the way.

As soon as she entered Jingyi Garden, Yuxuan's eyes flashed by the flowers in the garden, and it was not unusual for flowers to bloom in spring and summer.

It's autumn now, although the weather is not cold, but it is already very cool at night, Jingyi Garden can still be a hundred flowers in this season, and it is really a scene in Beijing.

There were some young ladies gathered in the garden, Yuxuan swept around and didn't see any acquaintances, and said to Qingqi behind her: "Sister Shuyang and Sister Yuyang are not here, I don't know most of the people here, what should I do?" ”

Qingqi said: "Miss first find a clean place to sit down and look at the scene, and then we will know that those young ladies have a good temper, let's go up and talk again, okay?" ”

Yuxuan smiled: "Sure enough, it's Qingqi, this idea is good." ”

The master and servant chose a quiet flower garden, and Qingqi swept the stone chair a few times before letting Yuxuan sit down.

At the other end of the flower garden, the laughter of several young ladies faintly came.
