Chapter Seventy-Four: The Crown
Xun Ce said a few more words to Murong Yurao, and it was already early, so he asked, "Rao'er, do you still want to continue shopping here?" ”
Murong Yurao shook her head, "No, I'm going back now, what about you, Brother Ce?" ”
"The second brother is waiting for me in the mansion, I'm going to go over." Xun Ce's words must be serious, so Murong Yurao didn't say anything more and let Xun Ce leave.
Rong Wan stayed aside, and when she saw Xun Ce leaving, she said, "Then let's go back!" ”
Murong Yurao nodded, then pulled Rong Wan into the carriage, and mentioned Xun Ce by the way, "The one who is Fang Cai is the younger brother of Uncle Xun Guo." ”
For Xun Ce, Rong Wan heard it from Xiao Xuanqing's mouth in her previous life, this Xun Ce and Xun Zhan are not the same mother, Xun Ce's biological mother is precisely the step-room of the head of the Xun family.
His Majesty's choice of concubine is the queen's mother, and Xun Zhan is the only brother of the queen's mother, so he can only be the only uncle today.
But from the perspective of Fang Cai, Xun Ce's expression when he mentioned Xun Zhan was very affectionate, and there was almost no estrangement, and it was difficult to see that the two were not the same mother.
Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't think about it anymore, and when she returned to the Changping Marquis Mansion, she said goodbye to Murong Yurao, took the carriage in the mansion, and went back to the mansion.
Regarding the invitation received today, Rong Wan still went to the main courtyard to report, and saw that the Qi family did not stop her, but she relaxed a little, just waiting for that day to come.
In the blink of an eye, the seventeenth day of the winter moon, the cloudy sky for a few days finally slowly cleared, but although there was daylight, the body was still extremely cold, when Rong Wan arrived, but saw the courtyard full of strange and beautiful, for a while, red, pink, green, green suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, almost dazzling.
She found a quiet place to sit down, most of the women she knew very little, so she sat quietly, and did not come forward to speak.
After a while, I saw Li Yaole, dressed in pink, walking in with a lady, and the lady beside her was not Ji Fu.
It is also said that Ji Fu's father's official position is below the third grade, if it is not for his outstanding literary talent, such scenes will not be able to enter, and the limelight is nothing more than above various poetry clubs.
However, there are exceptions, like Rong Wan, who is favored by people with high moral and respect, and can easily remember that the people who give an invitation are only a few.
The people around Li Yaole appeared at the Hundred Flowers Poetry Meeting that day, and they questioned Qi Yanran, Yan Danning, the second lady of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
However, this Yan lady, not only is her literary talent not good, but her mouth is also very broken, which Rong Wan has already experienced at the Hundred Flowers Poetry Club, so she doesn't want to go up to say hello.
Moreover, she vaguely felt that today's banquet would not end so easily.
In fact, when it comes to watching the ceremony, I'm afraid that the ladies are not so lucky.
Since ancient times, although the matter of the crown has been gradually abandoned among the people, it is still a very serious matter, representing the maturity of a man and can act in place of the family, which shows its importance.
And Xun Zhan is the uncle of today, and his identity is not ordinary, so there is no reason to invite many female relatives to watch the ceremony when the crown ceremony is performed.
This viewing ceremony, but it has a good reputation, where they are, but it is the side courtyard of Xun House, and there are two courtyards in the middle of the main courtyard, for convenience, this remote can also be a separate door with the street, compared to the side door of ordinary large families.
Therefore, it is neither rude, nor will it disturb Xun Zhan's crown ceremony, it can be seen that this method has the best of both worlds, but I don't know who came up with this move, and he wants to invite such a lady in the name of Xun Zhan.
was thinking about it, but saw the two people she had just seen walking towards her.
Li Yaole is still the same as before, simple-minded, and the words he says have never been said a few more times in his heart to see if it is decent, "Awan, why are you here?" ”
Both of them walked up, and Rong Wan naturally couldn't ignore it, so she had to stand up, look at Li Yaole, and nod slightly, "I took the post and came over." ”
Obviously, Li Yaole was also very puzzled, "But Awan, you are not within the scope of the invitation, you see, Afu didn't come either." ”
Rong Wan paused, and had to smile slightly, "Although my father has gone, my father was still a second-grade official when he went." ”
Yan Danning on the side had looked at Rong Wan for a while, and when she saw Rong Wan mention Luo Qian, she couldn't help but smile, with some ridicule in her eyes, "Luo Rong Wan, you are not allowed to participate in the banquet during the period of filial piety, do you know?" ”
When Rong Wan came, she thought of it, and immediately smiled, "Yan Niangzi misunderstood, Ah Wan is not here to attend the banquet, but just waiting for someone." ”
"Who are you fooling? Running to the banquet and waiting for someone? Did you still read the sages? Don't you even understand the etiquette of filial piety? Yan Danning looked at Rong Wan's gaze, like a highly poisonous needle, wanting to pierce Rong Wan with a thousand holes.
Rong Wan couldn't help but be stunned, if she remembered correctly, she didn't have any trouble with Yan Danning, how could Yan Danning treat her so viciously?
"What Awan said is true, if Yan Niangzi doesn't believe it, she will be able to see it soon." Rong Wan didn't want to argue with Yan Danning, so she could only make a big deal a small one and try to suppress the matter.
It's just that now seeing that the three of them are crowded around, I'm afraid they can't hold it down, if they don't handle it properly, they can ruin most of their reputation if they participate in the banquet regardless of their filial piety.
Actually, she couldn't come, but she thought that the invitation was written by Mrs. Changping Hou herself, and if she refused, it would inevitably make Mrs. Changping Marquis unhappy, and she came over this time, so she naturally made complete preparations.
Li Yao was happy to see that the people around him were gathering more and more, reached out and pulled Yan Danning's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Ah Ning, there are many people here, if you keep talking, Ah Wan's reputation will be ruined by you." ”
However, not only could Yan Danning's words not be covered up, but intensified, and she couldn't help sneering, "Since she participated in the banquet during the period of filial piety, I'm afraid she has already ignored her reputation!" ”
This is a bit excessive.
Rong Wan also put away the spring breeze on her face, and her face was a little worried, "Yan Niangzi, please be careful when you speak, Ah Wan just said that she didn't come to attend the banquet, but just waited for someone, Yan Niangzi was making a big fuss." ”
Yan Danning couldn't let her go so easily, the sound was even louder than just now, if she had a bronze mirror in her hand at this time, she could see her face, as if she was stained with poison, her facial features were wrinkled together, which made people feel terrible.
However, Yan Danning didn't have a mirror, but Rong Wan walked aside, took a bronze mirror from a lady's hand, and put it in front of Yan Danning, "Ah Wan said, Yan Niangzi spoke carefully, I don't know what Yan Niangzi looks like, don't say it's the Xun family Langjun, I'm afraid it's a pawn on the street, so you have to retreat!" ”
Yan Danning was annoyed and angry, but the corner of her eyes skimmed over her appearance in the bronze mirror, quickly closed her mouth, restrained her expression, and hurriedly walked away.
I'm afraid I'm going to find that crack in the ground that she can get into.
