"Why is she here?" Tang Yanrong turned his head to look at Tang Yanning and asked in a low voice.

Although Jiang Qinyue is not surnamed Tang, her status in the Tang Mansion is far higher than that of the three girls of the Tang family. Especially Mrs. Su, who was eccentric to the squeaky nest. Tang Yanhua may still be able to get some favor, Tang Yanrong and Tang Yanning, they are simply children picked up in the Guogong Mansion.

Tang Yanning's brows furrowed slightly. Jiang Qinyue is elegant on the surface, but she actually has a wide range of friends. Although she didn't know how she got acquainted with those children of the family, she was sure that Jiang Qinyue was definitely not the girl who stayed in the inner house to read and play the piano as she seemed on the surface.

I listened attentively, except for the fact that there were more than two people inside, the rest were very strange. This is also common sense, Tang Yanning has not walked around much outside the mansion before, Tang Yanrong is only in her own small courtyard, except for the people of the Tang family, she can count the outsiders she has seen in a slap.

Tang Yanning pulled Tang Yanrong's hand and made a "go back first" mouth shape at her, and the two of them relaxed their steps and returned to the water pavilion they had packed.

The chef of Xinghualou was very neat, and after such a while, seven or eight dishes had already been placed on the table in the center of the Water Pavilion.

Lin was sitting in front of the window of the water pavilion to enjoy the flowers, turned his head and saw them coming in, beckoned and smiled: "Are you all hungry?" Come and try it, she said that the dishes on this table are all the signature dishes of Xinghualou. ”

He pointed to the waitress who was serving next to him.

The waitress smiled: "It is said that it is a signboard, and it is also a scandal in front of the ladies and girls." If the lady and the girl eat smoothly, it will not be in vain. ”

After eating for a while, Tang Yanning casually gave the waitress a piece of silver, "I want to ask you something." ”

Although Xinghualou is a famous store, it is also a restaurant in the final analysis. This piece of silver is several times the cost of food. The waitress accepted the money and smiled, "Girl, please speak, but whatever I know, I will never hide it." ”

"What kind of guests are there in the water pavilion in the corner?"

The waitress was a little embarrassed, "It's not that I don't say it, it's just that we have people here and there, and the little ones only serve the ladies and guests." When I came over, there were only guests there, most of them were men, and I really didn't know the small ones. I just remember that they are all well-dressed boys and girls. ”

Tang Yanning nodded, and took her mother and sister out of Xinghua Building together. On the carriage, Lin asked her, "Look at what you have on your mind, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I just saw it with my sister...... No, I heard the voice of an acquaintance. Tang Yanning didn't hide it, "It's Jiang Qinyue." I just don't quite understand how she could be here. ”

"Maybe it's a coincidence that I'm making an appointment with someone." Hearing that it was Jiang Qinyue, the Lin family didn't care much, "Speaking of which, she is also going to attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet." Perhaps, it was also out to buy. Ah Ning, let's go back quickly. ”

Lin Shi frowned, she didn't want to meet anyone who had something to do with the Guogong Mansion, especially Jiang Qinyue. It is said that it is her junior, but who can not be a little selfish? For so many years, her mother-in-law and husband have been clearly eccentric, and they have praised a cousin girl higher than the daughter of a serious Guogong Mansion, no matter how generous the Lin family is, it is inevitable that they will feel guilty.

Tang Yanning didn't say anything else, and she didn't want to see Jiang Qinyue. Although I still have doubts in my heart, it is normal to think that after all, in this world, Jiang Qinyue is the real heroine, wearing a halo on her head, and getting to know more people. As mentioned in the original book, before meeting the prince, Jiang Qinyue won the love of many young children with her poetry talent.

If you think about it today, it's just to sing peace with these people.

She didn't want to see Jiang Qinyue, but she didn't expect that before the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiang Qinyue still came to her.

Jiang Qinyue didn't come alone. She and Tang Yanhua both came with the third wife.

Along with him came a carriage full of cage baggage.

The third wife sat on the side of the Lin family and said with a smile: "Originally, I said that this Dragon Boat Festival banquet should be your sister-in-law and you should take the children with you." It's just that the eldest brother said that the sister-in-law's body is improving, and she is not tired too much. I thought, don't you? Our family is close to each other, my sister-in-law has to recuperate, and the old lady is also insecure, so I have to do more work. Or what else? ”

In Tang Guogong's life, there are three brothers. Tang Er was a concubine, and he also entered the army early, and now under the banner of Zhennan Hou, he is already a general of Wuwei in the fourth grade.

If you want to say that the most incompetent, it is Master Tang San. This is Mrs. Su's own youngest son, who has been favored and indulged since he was a child. When you grow up, you can't do anything, except for spinning around in the female crowd, you can't achieve anything.

Tang Guogong disliked this younger brother and was embarrassed, so he donated money to his brother as an official, from the same knowledge of Wupin.

There is also a difference between the same knowledge of this dynasty. Those who enter the ranks from the imperial examination, and those who can be promoted by themselves, such as the state Tongzhi, etc., are all real shortages and fat shortages.

For example, if Master Tang San donated an official, it was just a false position, and he didn't even need to go to the yamen.

With such an official, the female relatives of the family are naturally not qualified to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival.

After the third wife learned that there was such a palace banquet, grass was growing in her heart - she naturally wanted to see the world and get to know a few more ladies and princesses, and more importantly, she wanted to push her daughter Tang Yanhua in front of everyone, so that everyone knew that there was still a daughter in the Guogong Mansion to be in the boudoir.

This time I was able to get a chance, and the third wife was already so excited that I didn't know what to do.

When I came to the courtyard today, I was also dressed in a golden and red dress, and I was wearing pearls and emeralds all over my head. This appearance is not like a serious lady from the Guogong Mansion, but it has the demeanor of the proprietress of Xinghualou.

Lin said lightly: "That's exactly what I said. Speaking of which, I have to say thank you to my siblings. ”

"Sister-in-law's words are really foreign." The third wife also heard the coldness in Lin's words, and smiled a little embarrassed. After a slight sigh, he smiled and said to the Lin family, "I brought two children over today, which is also the meaning of the eldest brother." The eldest brother said that the saint has now gone to the palace to escape the summer, and asked us to come over first...... I live here with my sister-in-law, so that I can be closer to the saint. ”

In fact, Tang Guogong said it more explicitly.

"I live in another courtyard, and it's closer to the palace. The saint and several princes all like to hunt, maybe one day when they get the chance, they can meet again? ”

Compared with the gathering of ladies at the Dragon Boat Festival, if you can get to know the nobles in advance, wouldn't you be more sure about the position of the princess and concubine?
