Everyone in Moyuan Pavilion knew that the eldest lady would go home today, because tomorrow was the queen mother's birthday, and the eldest lady was going to enter the palace for a banquet.

But only Mama Li and Jinxin knew that the eldest lady had just returned from the palace.

"Miss, are you back, everything is okay in Yangzhou?" Mama Li asked with a smile.

"Hmmm! Good. Lin Yanyan replied calmly.

Mother Li was secretly happy, the Queen Mother's illness really improved, but she didn't expect the eldest lady to make medicinal food and walk out of a different path from Hou Ye and Mrs., a road with a bright future.

"Mother Li, this is the girl who seals flowers, if you want to stay in the house for a few days, you can arrange a guest room." Lin Yanyan commanded.

Mama Li glanced at Fenghua and felt that this girl looked very pleasing, so she personally took Fenghua to settle it.

Lin Yanyan asked Tan Yun at this time.

"How many days can the fourth son be serious about studying?"

Tan Yun said happily: "The fourth son is serious, Yu An said that the fourth son reads very late every day, and in the assessment at the end of the month, the fourth son has been promoted, and he has entered Class A yesterday." ”

Lin Yanyan was quite pleased, it seems that in the past three years of filial piety, Jing Yuan's homework has not fallen behind at all.

"That's good, can someone visit my family while I'm away?"

"Yesterday, Miss Yang sent someone to ask when Miss will return?" Jinxin replied.

"Tan Yun, you go to the Rongguo Mansion and tell Miss Yang that I'm back, let her pick me up tomorrow and enter the palace together."

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Tan Yun walked away happily.

"Jinxin, these days, is the house still peaceful?"

"Miss, the old lady brought a girl from the Wei family to the house, and Mother Li guessed that the old lady wanted to take a concubine for the second master."

Lin Yanyan frowned: "What is the reaction of the others?" ”

"Miss Wei Yuewan also lives in Ci'en Hall, and she can talk to the second lady very well, but the fourth lady doesn't seem to like Miss Wei very much, and the second lady is sick and called the doctor a few times......"

Lin Yanyan sneered, the people in the second room have their own abacus, and there is also excitement.

"Miss, over there in the third room, Mrs. Tian has come to visit, saying that she wants to let the son of the Tian family marry the third lady as soon as possible, and the third lady wants to stay with the third lady for two more years, but the old lady means that it is better to get married early." Jin Xin said again.

Lin Yanyan is displeased, the third sister is only fifteen this year, why is grandmother in such a hurry?

"Jinxin, prepare hot water for me, I want to bathe, and then you find out the silk flowers that your uncle sent me last time." Later, she will meet her good sisters, as well as Miss Wei Yuewan.

After Lin Yanyan bathed and changed clothes, he asked Jinxin to go to the Mercy Grace Hall with a box of silk flowers.

The old lady just got up from a nap and sat there drinking tea, while Lin Zhenzhen and Wei Yuewan set up a chessboard on the kang table next to them and played chess.

Seeing Lin Yanyan come in, Lin Zhenzhen was indifferent and continued to play her chess, but Wei Yuewan's big almond eyes were spinning on Lin Yanyan, full of curiosity.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother."

"Yan Yan is back! Is your grandmother better? The old lady smiled kindly.

"Let my grandmother worry, my grandmother and her old man are just having an old disease, and they are fine."

The old lady beckoned to Wei Yuewan: "Yuewan, come here." ”

Wei Yuewan put down the chess pieces as she said and came to the old lady's side.

"This is my maiden cousin's niece, and although she is only five years older than you, you have to call her a cousin."

Lin Yanyan obediently called Aunt Shengtang.

I thought: Wei Yuewan is twenty-two years old, why haven't she gotten married yet?

"Yuewan, you just call her Yan Yan, she is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion."

Wei Yue called Yan Yan softly.

Lin Yanyan said with a smile: "I just came back from Yangzhou, my grandmother gave me a box of silk flowers, and my aunt and second sister picked two to wear!" ”

"I don't need to, I don't go out anyway." Lin Zhenzhen coldly rejected Lin Yanyan's "kindness." ”

Lin Yanyan smiled, you don't want to be with me, I'm reluctant to give it to you!

"Aunt Tang picks two."

Jin Xin stepped forward to open the box, and there were eight silk flowers placed side by side in it, with various colors of silk yarn as thin as cicada wings, pearls as stamens, gold as branches, and various colored gems on the branches, the style was novel and the workmanship was exquisite, and it was obviously worth a lot.

Wei Yuewan was embarrassed to pick.

The old lady said: "Since it is Yan Yan's intention, you can accept it." ”

Wei Yuewan picked two plain colors.

Lin Zhenzhen's eyes swept over the silk flower in Wei Yuewan's hand, and she couldn't help but feel remorseful, she had seen this kind of silk flower in Rong Baoxuan, one flower cost dozens of taels of silver, and it had already been booked, I heard that Rong Baoxuan only got twenty or thirty flowers at most every year, and she couldn't buy it at all.

If she knew it was this kind of silk flower, she would have asked for it.

"Yan Yan, you have to be cautious everywhere when you enter the palace for a banquet tomorrow, and the palace is no better than elsewhere." The old lady admonished.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, at least the people who are qualified to go to the banquet are the ladies of the three grades or above, as well as the young lady from the younger brother of the prince, and only Yan Yan is qualified to participate in the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

It's a pity that Zhen Zhen didn't get married, and if she didn't get married, it is estimated that Zhen Zhen would also receive an invitation.

"Grandmother, don't worry, tomorrow the king will come to pick me up, as well as the young lady of the Dongping Bo family and the young lady of the Yongning Bo family, we will enter the palace together and take care of each other."

"That'll be fine." The old lady smiled and nodded slightly.

Lin Zhenzhen listened from the sidelines, with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in her heart. I thought that when the uncle was gone, Lin Yanyan would have nothing to drag, but I didn't expect Lin Yanyan to be in the limelight now, and she was deceived into marriage and divorced, and she was unlucky.

Wei Yuewan is gentle and demure on the surface, but her heart is agitated. The Wei family is also a family with a head and a face in Donghai County, and when they arrived in the capital and entered the Ding'an Hou Mansion, they knew what the real power was, and now when they saw Lin Yanyan, they opened their mouths to be the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, and what was Dongpingbo, Yongningbo...... Wei Yuewan even sighed that the gap between her and the top famous ladies in the capital was like a difference between cloud and mud.

Lin Yanyan chatted with her grandmother for a few more words and then said goodbye and went to find the third aunt.

The third lady Zhou was overjoyed when she saw Yan Yan: "You are back, you are not here, and there is no one to discuss with me." ”

"Third aunt, I heard about the Tian family, why is the Tian family in such a hurry to let the third sister pass through?"

"I'm also strange, I said when I got married, I said that I would wait until I was sixteen years old to discuss the marriage, but the Tian family wanted to get the marriage done before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Tian family was willing to add a bride price, I asked your third uncle to inquire, and he didn't inquire about anything, no, the Tian family will come to the door in a few days." Zhou was worried.

"Third aunt, you drag this matter first, you must not agree easily, I want to find a way to go to the Tian family to inquire, even if the Tian family simply wants to let the daughter-in-law enter the door as soon as possible, we can't agree, Sister Yu is introverted and young, so it is not appropriate to get married so early."

"I know that you are the only one in this family who will really think about it, your third uncle has always been rude, and he thinks that his daughter's family will marry sooner or later, and the other party sincerely asks to marry, and it is nothing to marry early, your grandmother heard that the Tian family was willing to add a bride price, so she said that it is better to marry early, hey...... In my heart, I don't feel sure. ”

"Leave it to me, I must inquire clearly, it really can't work, make an excuse, just say that the fortune teller said that it is not advisable to marry too early, otherwise the fortune of helping the husband will become the luck of the husband." Lin Yanyan can come up with several reasons for refusal at any time.

Zhou was stunned, and then laughed: "It's still your brain, why didn't I think of it." ”
