The Pingguo Mansion is one of the best nobles in the capital, and it is the residence of the imperial gift, not far from the palace, and the family talked and laughed in the carriage, and soon arrived outside the palace gate.

No matter how well-headed the family is, when they get to the palace gate, they have to get off the carriage.

That is, some old people can have the emperor's permission, and after entering the palace gate, they can take a four-person soft sedan chair.

Today, the old lady of Pingguo did not come, the ladies and grandmothers of Pingguo Mansion are not too old, so they did not take a sedan chair, the family got out of the car, led by a white-faced and beardless father-in-law, Mrs. An and Mrs. Mo San walked in front, and several juniors followed behind, and walked to the palace together.

Grandma Qiu Er's nervous palms were sweaty.

Over the past few years, her family has been counted as fourteen, which is just enough age to come to the palace for a banquet.

Originally, after this year, Grandma Qiu Er finally smiled more when she looked at her family's Miaomiao, but she forgot about those troubles a little, and Grandma Qiu Er was just comfortable for a few days, but she caught up with the palace for a banquet.

Grandma Qiu Er was afraid that their family Miaomiao's temper would cause any more trouble in the palace, and it would be terrible.

The palace doesn't look like someone else's house, what kind of trouble has happened, they are elders, they can make up for it.

The head of the palace......

As long as Grandma Qiu Er thought about it, she couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.

Ruan Zhilan glanced at her mother a little unhappily.

Because of the banquet, Grandma Qiu Er has been nagging Ruan Zhilan for almost a day. On the way here, she whispered all the way, although Ruan Zhilan knew that her mother was a mother's heart, but she still heard that she was a little irritable in her heart.

Ruan Zhilan's eyes fell on Fang Hanniang, who was walking a few positions in front of Lord Anping Weng.

Her little aunt is dressed up very simply, but she simply wears such a bead crown, and there is no other decoration on her head, but this is the case, the South China Sea dzi inlaid on the bead crown will line her little aunt's beauty by ten.

Ruan Zhilan couldn't help but feel a wave of envy in her heart, like her little aunt, she could do whatever she wanted, and no one would nag around her, everyone trusted her very much...... That's great.

When they arrived at the banquet, a palace maid immediately stepped forward and led a few people from the Pingguo Mansion to their seats. After all, he is a top noble, and his position is only second to that of several princes and grandchildren, so it can be said that he is quite close to the main seat.

Because there was still some time to leave the table, many good ladies walked around with their daughters.

Or those royal grandchildren can't choose their daughters, but it's not ordinary people who come here, and it's also very good to find a good relative for their daughter here.

Because there is still a famous Ruan Third Young Master Ruan Chuxiao in the Pingguo Mansion who has not yet married, there are obviously more female relatives who come to the Pingguo Mansion to greet than the side family.

How good is the third young master Ruan, there is no need to mention the background, it is a first-class noble, good-looking, capable, young and already in an important position, the best thing is that this Ruan family, but there is a family motto, a man can only take a concubine if he is forty childless.

For those who love their daughters, Ruan Chuxiao is the kind of son-in-law who is difficult to find with lanterns in the whole capital.

The only fly in the ointment is that this Ruan Chuxiao is in her twenties and has not yet married a wife, is there any hidden disease? ……

However, this kind of small concern could not dispel the enthusiasm of the ladies for Ruan Sangongzi, Ruan Sangongzi was not there, and Mrs. Anping, as Ruan Chuxiao's eldest sister-in-law, was about to deal with these people with a sour smile.

Ruan Zhixuan has also reached the age of saying goodbye, and she can somewhat understand the intentions of some of these ladies, this is to say goodbye to the third uncle...... Ruan Zhixuan's little face was flushed, and she hung her head and didn't speak.

This dignified, demure and shy pretty appearance also fell in the eyes of many ladies who wanted to find a good girl for their son, and their hearts were also alive.

Ruan Zhixuan is the eldest daughter of the prince of Pingguo and the lord of Anping, needless to mention her identity, she is extremely noble, look at this little appearance...... I heard that the head of An Pingweng is a good hand, extremely neat, for so many years, a huge Pingguo Mansion, well managed, very good. Ruan Zhixuan, as the eldest daughter of the lord of Anping, thought that her mother's skills had also learned a few points.

With the addition of this layer, the Anping Weng Lord's side is even more lively.

There are also a few people who have taken a fancy to Ruan Zhilan, and Grandma Qiu Er is happy in her heart, and she is circling with those ladies, selling her daughter without a trace.

As Ruan Zhilan's own grandmother, Mrs. Mo San is naturally also very concerned.

And these people who came to the Pingguo Mansion to greet each other, no matter who they were, would be shocked by Fang Hanniang's beauty, or praise a few words sincerely or falsely, Fang Hanniang treated her politely at first, and then directly pretended to be shy, and she looked like she was shy and refused to look up, but she had a lot less to deal with.

- They are all busy with things, and only Mrs. An is the second lady, who sits on the table and drinks tea with a blank face.

Secretly, Second Mrs. An squeezed the teacup.

Especially when the women on the side mentioned Ruan Chuxiao openly or secretly, the fire in Mrs. An's heart couldn't be suppressed.

She also has a son of the right age to say that she is pro-family!

However, these ignorant women stared at a Ruan Chuxiao, but none of them took her son in their eyes!

Her son, handsome, filial, and obedient, if not, if not for the sick body dragging him down......

Thinking of this, Second Mrs. An felt sad, and longed for the tea in front of her to turn into bitter wine, so that she would get drunk and rest.

In a place a little farther away from the Pingguo Mansion, several husbands with slightly smaller official positions and ladies who had no friendship with the Pingguo Mansion were looking at Fang Hanniang from a distance and whispering:

"Is that the cousin Fang Hanniang from the Pingguo Mansion?"

"Isn't it, even if you look at it from a distance, the beauty around you can't stop it. Just tell me, in the capital, who is so beautiful with a little girl of this age? ”

"Oh, it's always been a rumor, I haven't seen her a few times. Damn, look at the crown of beads on her head, the big bead, but the South China Sea dzi that is rumoring outside? ”

"That's it! You had something at home at the time, and you didn't go to that auction, but I was fortunate enough to get an invitation, but I met that Fang Hanniang, a beautiful woman, and she really deserves this 100,000 taels of silver in the South China Sea! ”

"The Pingguo Mansion really loves this cousin from the countryside......"

"Yes, it's not worse than a few girls, I listened faintly, it seems that the old lady is better than the great-grandson of the in-laws because of the compensation!"

"Oh, that's a pity...... It's a pity that I don't have a concubine of the right age in my family, otherwise I could have married back......"

"Hehe, Mrs. Yang laughed, isn't your son eighteen years old, is it the age of the parent?"

The last person to speak, who had always had some slight disagreements with Mrs. Yang, picked out these words directly.

That Mrs. Yang's face was a little red with anger.

Didn't this person ask knowingly, her eldest son is a sister-in-law, and this Fang Hanniang is favored again, that is, a country girl of unknown origin, and a concubine like them is considered to be the top of the sky!

The ladies next to them saw that something was not good, so they hurriedly snorted and rounded this out.

Not far away, the county lord of Fu'an, who happened to pass by here, but was attracted by the gossip of these ladies, clenched his fists tightly in the dark.

At first, when she heard these ladies praising Fang Hanniang's beauty, she couldn't wait to rush out and shake those ignorant women awake, where was the girl who had beauty and nothing else; Later, when she heard the ladies mention the dzi of the South China Sea, she almost laughed.

That's a pearl of the night coated with pearl powder!

A group of ignorant women who mistake fish's eyes for pearls!

The lord of Fu'an also put on the South China Sea dzi today, but coincidentally, it was also inlaid into a crown of beads.

It's just that the bead crown, the bottom bracket is made intricate and exquisite, and the flower pattern carved on the top can be said to be lifelike, with the South China Sea dzi, it is even more magnificent. If the county lord of Fu'an hadn't deliberately hidden in the dark and eavesdropped on them, he could easily attract the attention of the audience with the beautiful bead crown on his head.

- Of course, her mother gave this dzi to the clear way early: Princess Zhongyong bought off a merchant who traveled north and south through the housekeeper in Zhuangzi, and let the dzi go through the merchant's hand, pretending to buy the dzi from the merchant.

Of course, only the dead can keep secrets. When the merchant went south, he soon encountered the "mountain bandit robbing the road" and died in a different place.

Through this stubble, the South China Sea Dzi of the Lord of Fu'an County was completely washed white and clean.

The county lord of Fu'an has been hiding in the shadows, and when she heard that those women secretly disliked Fang Hanniang's background, she felt a little relieved and walked out of the shadows.

The lord of Fu'an was already a noble person, and her behavior deliberately attracted attention, and the huge bead crown she wore on her head attracted the attention of most people at once.

The crowd exclaimed.

However, most of the people present knew that the lord of Fu'an had competed with Fang Hanniang for the South China Sea dzi at a high price of 95,000 taels at that time, and when he saw that the lord of Fu'an also wore one on the top of his head, they subconsciously thought that the lord of Fu'an was unwilling and bought one from outside at a high price, but no one doubted the origin of this pearl crown on the head of the lord of Fu'an.

The county lord of Fu'an received the envious and amazed eyes of everyone, not to mention how comfortable he was.

She pretended to be casual and looked at the Pingguo Mansion.

Fang Hanniang naturally noticed that the lord of Fu'an was wearing a crown of beads inlaid with the South China Sea dzi.

Fang Hanniang showed a look of surprise on her face,

The county lord of Fu'an's heart was as comfortable as eating ice on dog days.

Fang Hanniang was just surprised, this Fu'an County Lord was so brazen, and he dared to wear it openly?
