The Ye family is a famous family of scholars who have been inherited for a hundred years, and the children and grandchildren of each generation have been admitted to the Jinshi and have done Hanlin, and they are quite famous in the family of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Ye family was prosperous, and the old lady Ye gave birth to three sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter married the prince and became the crown princess, and later gave birth to the eldest son and became the queen. The young daughter married into the Anguo Mansion and became the Duchess of Anguo. The Ye family's reputation has also reached its peak.

In Ye Qiuyun's generation, there are eight men in the three rooms of the Ye family, and only Ye Qiuyun has one daughter. Old lady Ye and old lady Ye naturally love her only granddaughter, and everyone in the Ye family also spoils Ye Qiuyun. Growing up in such an environment, it is natural for Ye Qiuyun to have a high heart. The emperor personally issued a holy decree to marry Ye Qiuyun and the king of Chu, and the marriage will be completed at the end of the year. Now none of the ladies in Bianliang City can steal Ye Qiuyun's limelight.

Ye Qiuyun held a chrysanthemum banquet, and all the invited ladies were famous. Among them are Miss Chen Si of the Anguo Mansion, Miss Zuo, the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo, and the daughter of Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites, etc.

It's no wonder that Ji Yu was so happy to receive the invitation. In the past, such invitations were sent to Ji Yu, but now that Ji Yu is married, the invitation is finally her turn. As for Xu Jinyu, it was clear that it was her light that gave her the opportunity to come to the Ye family with her

Ji Yu thought complacently in her heart, but she didn't know that it was the opposite. Ye Qiuyun sent the invitation to the Weining Hou Mansion, and the person who really wanted to invite was actually Xu Jinyu.

Ji Yu specially cleaned up carefully today, took a self-portrait in the mirror, and was quite complacent. After seeing Xu Jinyu, this complacency immediately came to naught.

"Cousin Jin. You're wearing beautiful new clothes today. Ji Yu's tone was sour: "I've never seen you go through it before." ”

Xu Jinyu usually dresses plainly and elegantly, although she is born with good looks, she is not dazzling. Even when he went out of the house, he never stole Ji Yu's limelight. But today, Xu Jinyu is unusual, and she dresses up very carefully.

On the moon-white Luo skirt, a picture of butterflies and flowers was embroidered with silk threads of the same color. The flowers vary in size and posture, and several pink butterflies flutter among the flowers, lifelike, and even the translucent wings of the butterflies are clearly visible. The outside is covered with a soft smoke gauze of the same color. Walking graceful and graceful, the style is outstanding.

Most of the long green silk is pulled up, and the remaining small half hangs down softly on the chest. The hairline is a delicate golden hairpin, and a little tassel hangs down to the ear. The pretty face is lightly powdered, adding a bit of brightness that is rarely seen on weekdays.

He smiled slightly, and his eyes lit up. The beauty is breathtaking.

Ji Yu is also a pretty and lovely little beauty. can go to Xu Jinyu's side for such a stop, and suddenly it will be gloomy. It's like a maid!!

Ji Yu's heart was full of jealousy.

Xu Jinyu didn't see Ji Yu's jealousy, and responded with a smile: "I was idle a few days ago, and it took me more than a month to embroider this Luo skirt. It's hard to go out as a guest today, so I just took it to wear. ”

When I came to Ye's house as a guest today, I had to deal with Ye Qiuyun. Of course, you have to dress up carefully before you go. When the daughters of the boudoir come together, the first thing to compare is their appearance and dress, and then the family background and future husband and the like.

It's a matter of face and dignity. Of course you can't lose!

Even if it will make Ji Yu unhappy, he can't take care of it.

Ji Yu's interest in going out as a guest has disappeared for the most part. Reluctantly, he said: "It's not too early, let's go to Tinglan Courtyard to talk to my mother now, it's time to go." ”

Xu Jinyu responded with a smile

Xiao Zou has been in a depressed mood these days for Bi Luo's affairs, and the blisters around his lips have not subsided, and there are sores in his mouth, not to mention eating, even when he opens his mouth to speak, he feels pain.

After seeing Ji Yu and Xu Jinyu, Xiao Zou's heart became more and more angry.

Xu Jinyu is at a young age, and she has been carefully dressed up, and she is incomparably beautiful. The two stood side by side, and Ji Yu was completely reduced to a foil.

I think she looked beautiful back then, but now that she is in her thirties, she is still a stunning beauty. The daughter who was born looked like her father, and did not succeed her beauty at all. In terms of children, she was completely defeated by the Zou family

"Jin Niang, you are wearing this new dress today, and you really look very good." Zou's mood was completely different from Xiao Zou's, his eyes and tone were full of pride and pride.

Xiao Zou was full of anger when he heard this, but he couldn't show it on his face, and squeezed out a smile and advised: "Today, the two of you will go to the Ye family as a guest together, you should be more careful in your words and deeds, don't lose your manners." ”

Xu Jinyu and Ji Yu answered yes together, said goodbye to Xiao Zou and Zou, and then got into the carriage together.

Ziyue and Chu Xia each held a pot of chrysanthemums, and they were carefully held in their arms even in the carriage. Ji Yu looked at the pot of Yaotai Jade Phoenix in Ziyue's hand, and her mood was finally a little better.

This is the most beautiful pot of chrysanthemums in the garden. The pot of ink chrysanthemum brought by Xu Jinyu, although the color is gorgeous and dazzling, is a step worse.

"In early summer, just put the chrysanthemums aside, don't hold them in your arms all the time." Xu Jinyu's voice sounded.

In the early summer, he refused to let go: "What if the carriage bumps and breaks the chrysanthemum?" The slave and maid are still holding on to it. "There must be a lot of famous ladies who go to Ye's house as guests today, all of them bring precious chrysanthemums, and the chrysanthemums in her arms can't go on a business trip, so as not to lose face in front of people.

Xu Jinyu saw Chu Xia's thoughts, her heart warmed, and she said angrily: "There is still a long way to go to the Ye family, you have been holding it like this, and when you arrive at the Ye family, you must be tired and your hands and arms will be sore." Maybe if one didn't hold it and dropped the flower pot, wouldn't it be worth the loss? Let's put it down! ”

That seems to make sense.

In early summer, I struggled for a long time before I made up my mind and carefully put the flower pot aside.

Ziyue looked at Ji Yu with blank eyes, looking forward to Ji Yu also opening her mouth and telling her to put down the flower pot. It's a pity that Ji Yu turned a blind eye to Ziyue's expectant gaze.

The flower pot is not heavy, about three or four catties, but it is not easy to hold it all the time. When she arrived at the Ye family, Ziyue's two arms were sore and numb. When he got out of the carriage with a flower pot, his arm went limp. The flower pot slipped out of his hand.

Ziyue's frightened eyes widened, and she had the heart to get the flower pot back. It's a pity that the body's reaction is far from keeping up.

With a "bang", the flower pot fell to the ground. Broken!

The soil in the flower pot was splashed everywhere, and the delicate and beautiful Yaotai jade phoenix fell to the ground first, and was heavily pressed by the soil and flower pot fragments, and the miserable end can be imagined

Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene!

Soon, Ji Yu reacted, and gritted her teeth in anger and squeezed out two words: "Ziyue!" ”

Ziyue's whole body trembled. subconsciously knelt down: "Miss is angry, Miss spare her life!" ”

Ji Yu was about to be furious, but was stopped by Xu Jinyu: "Cousin Yu." It's just a pot of chrysanthemums, and if you accidentally fall it, you can throw it away, and it's not worth being angry about these little things. As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Yu.

This is at the door of the Ye Mansion, and the steward of the concierge and the steward of welcoming guests are there. It's not appropriate for Ji Yu to lose her temper at Ziyue like this. It's just a lot of fun to watch.

Ji Yu was angry, she didn't pay attention to Xu Jinyu's eyes at all, even if she did, she probably wouldn't take it to heart: "She dropped my Yaotai Yufeng, today is a chrysanthemum feast, I just went in empty-handed, I will definitely be teased later!" The more he talked, the more annoyed he became, and he really wanted to walk over and kick Ziyue's feet.

Ziyue sobbed and said, "Miss." The slave really didn't want to drop the flower pot. I hugged all the way before, and my arm was sore and sore. I didn't pay attention when I got off the carriage."

"According to what you say, do you blame me for not letting you put down the flower pot along the way?" Ji Yu was even more annoyed, and her voice became higher. The subordinates of the Ye family who provoked all looked over, and the subordinates put their heads together, pointing and whispering to this side.

A carriage stopped outside the Ye family at some point, and it was obviously also a guest who came to the banquet. Seeing that the door was so lively, the owner of the carriage simply didn't get out of the carriage, and just lifted the curtain to watch with relish.

Xu Jinyu is really speechless to Ji Yu, can you pick a time to lose your temper? Losing his temper like this, it is not only Ziyue who is embarrassed, but also Ji Yu herself!

Xu Jinyu made a decisive decision: "Cousin Yu, don't be angry. Your pot of Yaotai Jade Phoenix has already fallen, and it is useless to scold Ziyue now. Well, I'll give you this pot of chrysanthemum. ”

Miss Table is so nice! Ziyue glanced at Xu Jinyu gratefully with tears in her eyes.

When Ji Yu heard this, most of her anger subsided: "Cousin Jin, did you really give me Moju?" So what do you do? ”

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled: "The two of us are guests together, and it is enough to bring a pot of chrysanthemums." Then he smiled and said to the porter, "Trouble this steward, and send someone to clean up this place." There are guests waiting to come in the back. ”

The porter smiled and answered.

The housekeeper's mother, who was in charge of greeting the guests, also stopped looking at the excitement, raised a smile and said, "Two young ladies, please come with the slaves." ”

Xu Jinyu happily agreed, took Ji Yu's hand and walked in.

Ziyue hurriedly wiped her tears, got up and followed. In early summer, he weighed the amount of ink chrysanthemum in his hand, and decided to wait until he got it inside and then give the flower pot to Ziyue. If you accidentally drop this pot again, Ziyue will be really miserable when you go back!

This small episode did not affect Xu Jinyu's mood. Ji Yu is actually not so satisfied with Mo Ju, but something is better than nothing! Even if she didn't know what to do, she was embarrassed to dislike the pot of ink chrysanthemums in front of Xu Jinyu.

The housekeeper's mother led Xu Jinyu and his party into Ye Qiuyun's courtyard.

The Ye family is extremely famous, but the family background is not particularly rich. The courtyard where Ye Qiuyun lives is not particularly large, but it is quite elegantly arranged. It can be seen that Ye Qiuyun is quite concerned about this chrysanthemum feast, and there are all kinds of chrysanthemum potted plants as far as the eye can see under the cloister in the courtyard.

At this time, it is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and various varieties of chrysanthemums are competing to bloom, which is very delicate. There is also a refreshing aroma floating in the air.

Ji Yu glanced at it, secretly compared, and felt that Mo Ju was not bad, so she happily went to see Ye Qiuyun.

Xu Jinyu was not nervous, and entered the main hall with Ji Yu very calmly.

At this time, several guests had already arrived. Ye Qiuyun, who was sitting at the top, stood up to greet her. The rest of the girls also got up politely.

Ye Qiuyunsheng's beauty is moving, and today is even more beautiful and bright. The Luo skirt she wore was made of the finest silk satin rewarded by Queen Ye, with a bright color, smooth and soft, and a little light when you looked at it from a distance. Standing there with a smile, it seemed that the whole person was shining.

Hum! Today, she must be glamorous and suppress all the limelight of Xu Jinyu.

Ye Qiuyun thought proudly.

However, the moment Xu Jinyu's figure came into view, Ye Qiuyun couldn't laugh.

In the first round, fighting for beauty, it was obvious that Xu Jinyu was slightly better.

Ye Qiuyun is already a rare beauty, but Xu Jinyu is even more beautiful. There is nothing that can make a girl who prides herself on her beauty short of breath and tightness in her chest than to meet someone who is more beautiful than herself! In the past, it was Ye Qiuyun who made others grit their teeth and grit their teeth with jealousy, but today, Ye Qiuyun finally tasted this sour taste

Ji Yu saw Ye Qiuyun's slightly stiff smile, and her heart was inexplicably comfortable and balanced. Look, she wasn't alone in being compared to Xu Jinyu. Even the owner has been robbed of the limelight!

Xu Jinyu took in the changes in Ye Qiuyun's expression, and felt quite happy in her heart. With a smile, he stepped forward with Ji Yu and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, it's not too late for me and Cousin Yu to come!" ”

The sound is warm and pleasant.

It's so unfair! All the girls, including Ye Qiuyun, silently gritted their teeth and hated together. God has already given Xu Jinyu outstanding beauty, how can she still give her such a beautiful voice.

Ye Qiuyun pressed the surging jealousy in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said, "There are still a few distinguished guests who haven't arrived, you two are not too late." Come, let me introduce you to you. This is the eldest lady of the Zuo family, and her name is Jiao Niang. This is the daughter of Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites, and her name is a wisdom character."

Zuo Jiaoniang, about fifteen years old, has a bright face and generous manners.

Zhao Hui, similar in age to Xu Jinyu, has a dignified appearance and elegant temperament.

The other girls are also famous daughters, each with their own temperament characteristics. They are all pampered boudoir girls in Shaohua, even if their appearance is not outstanding, they also have their own youth and charm.

However, these famous ladies, under the backdrop of Xu Jinyu today, are all a little overshadowed. All of them are arrogant, not to say it, which one is not secretly competing in their hearts?

To put it mildly, Xu Jinyu's appearance today is very successful - success has aroused the envy of everyone.

Xu Jinyu greeted everyone with a smile, keenly aware of the coldness of everyone's attitude. Especially Miss Zuo and that Miss Zhao, looking at her with a little more faint hostility

Strange, when did she provoke the two of them? (To be continued......)
