On the second day, the fifth day of the seventh month, the weather was fine and sunny on the day of the rainy day.

Yulan got up early in the morning, bathed and dressed, and just after eating, the eldest maid of Yiningju came over in person and took her to Yiningju in the main courtyard.

The main hall of Yiningju is the largest living room in the entire Yang Mansion, and it is the place where the Yang family holds some ceremonial banquets. When Yulan came, he saw many maids and women coming in and out here, busy and busy, the time was still early, and the guests had not yet arrived.

Yulan went to greet the eldest lady first, and the eldest lady helped her to see if she was dressed appropriately. The eldest lady saw that she was wearing a lake-green Hangzhou silk dress, her skin was whiter than snow, her hair was as black as ink, and the whole person was elegant and tranquil, like an empty valley orchid. You can't take your eyes off it.

After carefully grooming her makeup, the eldest lady couldn't help but be in a trance, thinking of the beautiful Aunt Qi, and in a blink of an eye, her daughter had also grown up and looked as beautiful as her.

The eldest lady looked up and down carefully, and couldn't find anything wrong, so she nodded and said gently: "Today is your good day, and the ceremony will start in a while, so you go to the small hall at the back and sit for a while." "The time for the ceremony is correct, and there is indeed a period of time.

It's not that the eldest lady doesn't want to ask who the noble person who secretly helped her is, but yesterday the county lord of Qingjiang specially reminded her, saying that the noble person didn't want to reveal his name, so the eldest lady didn't ask too much. The eldest lady herself also has a judgment, she thought it must be Concubine Hui, during the time when she went out on patrol with the royal car, the relationship between Yulan and the little prince was close, and the eldest lady saw it with her own eyes.

Wu's mother came over in person, helped Yulan into the small hall and waited for the arrival of the auspicious time. Yulan is the main owner today, so naturally there is no need to welcome guests. After a while, I heard a commotion outside. Yulan thought that it should be the guest invited by the eldest lady.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and Yuxia and Yuqing walked in one after the other. I probably want to see how Yulan is preparing.

"Seventh sister, you are so beautiful today." Yuqing shouted as soon as she entered the door. Today is Yulan's big day, Xiaoyue Xiaoyu helped her carefully groom herself, she was already outstanding, and this dress was even more glamorous, and she compared Yuxia to Yuxia.

Yuxia didn't have any good intentions, and she couldn't help but snort coldly when she heard this. "Seventh sister, you have grown up, sister, I am here to congratulate you!"

Yulan glanced at her, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "Fifth Sister Xie Lu!" ”

Yuxia changed her words and pretended to be surprised: "It's just that today is such a good day, I looked at my wife but didn't invite any important guests to you, the seventh sister ran for the eighth sister in many ways, but this fart was slapped on the horse's leg, it's really pitiful!" He smiled and covered his mouth.

Yulan immediately understood, she heard that she was unwilling to use her as a praiser, and she was resentful, so she came here to block herself. Yuqing also understood what Yuxia meant, and couldn't help but change her face, and snorted: "Fifth sister, today is a good day for the seventh sister, why do you ......"

Halfway through the words, he was glared back by Yuxia's fierce eyes.

Yulan was not angry, but smiled and said: "Fifth sister has a father who loves you and loves you, and there is such an outstanding aunt, and the natural scenery and dignity of the ceremony." I can't compare to it in any way. It's just that no matter how hard my father contributes, he still can't compare to the eldest sister and the second sister after all, I really sigh for the fifth sister! "When Yuxia and Lu, the Queen Mother has not yet passed away, Aunt Liu is blowing the pillow wind in the ears of the eldest lord a month in advance, under the personal intervention of the eldest lord, Yuxia's and the ceremony is very decent, compared to Yufei, it is simply a world of difference, but after all, she is a concubine, and the eldest lord will help her round the field, compared to the eldest girl and the second girl, the number and grade of the guests will be a little worse. After all, she is just a concubine, no matter how big her face is, it is impossible for someone to come in person if she has a decree, and it will be good if the ceremony arrives.

Yulan's eyes were sharp: Everyone is a concubine, don't laugh at the eldest brother!

Yuxia was annoyed in her heart, and her face couldn't help but sink. In a blink of an eye, as if she remembered something again, she took out a delicately made mutton fat jade five wishful hairpins from her head, and said with a smile: "This hairpin was made by my father when I was in time!" At this point, she paused, "I heard that my wife didn't have time to make any good jewelry for my sister this time!" My sister will lend you this hairpin for the time being! ”

Yulan raised her eyes and looked at Yuxia quietly, her eyes full of disdain. The more you retreat from some people, the more you get an inch, Yulan said coldly: "We are all sisters, is it interesting that you provoke the relationship between me and my wife like this?" She didn't hesitate to push away Yuxia's outstretched hand: "Even if my mother prepares a wooden hairpin for me, I will be fine." Fifth sister, please take back your precious hairpin. ”

Yuxia lives by herself, and she doesn't understand that most people in this world chase fame and fortune, have a good face, and show off, but there are also a small number of people who don't like things, don't feel sad about themselves, Yulan knows what kind of identity she is, what kind of treatment she should have, and the eldest lady treats her like this, although she has no complaints, but she will never turn against her because of such a thing.

Yuxia sneered again and again: "Okay, good!" Yang Yulan, do you think your wife will be impressed by you? Stop dreaming! If you toast and don't eat and drink, I want to see how shabby you, the seventh lady of the Yang family, and the etiquette are. With that, he inserted the five wishful hairpins back into his hair and walked out of the small hall proudly. She had made up her mind to see Yulan's jokes.

The two of them were tense just now, until Yuxia came out of the house, Yuqing finally let out a breath, she was afraid that Yulan would be angry, and persuaded her: "Fifth sister is too much, seventh sister, don't be angry!" ”

Yulan smiled, patted her hand comfortingly, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not angry." You can't be angry with this kind of person! ”

Yuxia walked out of the small hall and came to the hall of Yiningju, it was not early, and the eldest lady did not need her to help greet the guests. The old lady dragged the sick body to come, and the guests also arrived in twos and threes, the first to arrive were their sisters, the eldest girl, the second girl, and the fourth girl all served their mother-in-law and rushed over, Yuxia looked at it, and her face became very bad.

The mother-in-law of the fourth girl, Mrs. Niu, does not need to mention her, the mother-in-law of the eldest girl and the second girl, one is Mrs. Ji'anhou, and the other is the old lady of the cabinet Ding Ge, who are all well-known figures in the circle of noblewomen in Beijing. Yuxia couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, why? Why is a girl born □ J past her in this regard!

Yuxia didn't know what to say, these ladies had all seen Yulan, and they all had a good impression of this generous and decent girl, and the eldest lady's post was sent over, and they all came with face.

Yuxia had to go up to greet them, and when she returned to her seat and sat down, she pulled the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, scolding the two noblewomen in her heart, and cursing Yulan viciously. She vaguely felt that her wish to see Yulan's jokes might not be fulfilled today.

was thinking wildly, when someone outside suddenly shouted: The county lord of Qingjiang has arrived! Mrs. Linjiang Hou Meng has arrived! Yuxia stood up in shock. Of course, she knows who the county lord of Qingjiang is, and the Marquis of Linjiang is also Mrs. Hou who holds real power in Beijing, what's wrong today?

At this time, even the old lady personally greeted her.

Sizheng arrived in a blink of an eye, Yulan heard the voice of the eldest lady in the hall outside, Yulan's and the ceremony, of course, was presided over by the eldest lady's mother-in-law, Yulan couldn't hear what she said outside, only heard the sound of silk and bamboo outside, Wu's mother had already walked in, saying that the guests had arrived, and asked her to go out to participate in the ceremony, Xiaoyue Xiaoyu helped her out of the small hall and walked out of the small hall.

Yulan took a deep breath, Wu's mother lifted the curtain in front, and she walked out with a steady pace. The scene was silent, and the guests were stunned to see Yulan wearing a lake-green skirt and walking into the main hall with a solemn expression.

Everyone had a thought: The seven girls of the Yang family are really good colors. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is glamorous. Only Yuxia glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of jealousy.

Yulan looked at the full-seated living room, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect so many people to come this time! A bit unexpected!

Her good friend Ma Yunniang sat on the seat and smiled at her, Yulan nodded slightly at her, and walked elegantly to the center of the hall, her skirt did not move, as if she was giving birth to a lotus step by step, everyone looked relaxed and happy, Yulan had walked to the center of the hall and knelt down on the rattan mat.

The eldest lady hurriedly glared at Yuqing, Yulan, the main owner, did not have stage fright, but Yuqing, the praiser, had some stage fright. Yuqing hurriedly walked over and began to comb Yulan's hair.

After the hair was combed, the county lord of Qingjiang stood up, and the old lady personally took the hand of the county lord of Qingjiang and walked to Yulan, and Mrs. Linjiang Hou Meng followed behind the county lord. The old lady said: "There is a county lord of Lao to hold a ceremony for the seven girls of my family!" ”

The county lord of Qingjiang smiled and said, "You are too polite!" ”

Yulan saw that his guest was the lord of Qingjiang, and his expression was already very excited. She didn't do it for that bit of vanity, but she knew that the county lord of Qingjiang was willing to come and take care of her, and it must be Ye Yichen who intervened. She didn't reveal her birthday to Ye Yichen, she didn't expect the prince to be so careful. At that moment, Yulan's eyes were a little moist, and the feeling of being loved in the palm of his hand was really good.

She and the county lord of Qingjiang looked at each other, and the county lord of Qingjiang smiled at her, looking very loving. She didn't know what to do, but the county lord of Qingjiang was thinking at the moment: It's a pity that this girl is remembered by the old sixteenth, where is there still her younger brother Ye Fengqi.

At this time, Mrs. Meng was holding a tray in her hand, and there was a five-color jade hairpin on the tray, which was carved from a whole piece of five-color jadeite, shining dazzlingly under the skylight, and the workmanship was naturally very fine. That five-colored jadeite is extremely rare, and such a large piece is simply priceless. Everyone here is knowledgeable, and everyone can see that this jade hairpin is too precious.

The ladies are better, and among the young ladies, there are those with shallow eyelids, who can't help but breathe shortly for a long time. Yuxia was already very shocked when she saw that Yulan and the Zhengbin of the ceremony were the county lords of Qingjiang, but now when she saw that the eldest lady actually took out such a valuable five-colored jade hairpin, her eyes were red with jealousy.

Even the old lady looked at the eldest lady with a puzzled look. The eldest lady is also confused, yesterday the county lord of Qingjiang said that he would send a hairpin to be used in Yulan's ceremony, and the eldest lady shirked but had to agree, but she never expected the county lord to be so generous.

Of course, she didn't know what to do, and it was not the county lord who was generous, but Ye Yichen.

Yulan also showed a look of shock when he saw this hairpin, but the county lord of Qingjiang showed a reassuring smile, and the county lord of Qingjiang said a series of auspicious words, and then picked up the hairpin and stuck it on Yulan's head.

Licheng!

The county lord of Qingjiang whispered in her ear: "Thank you for the prince of Xie Jin, for your courtesy, he has spent a lot of thought!" You're a blessed boy! ”

After listening to the words, Yulan burst into tears!
