13 up

On the day of Mrs. Song's banquet, Yan Minxue dressed up early and waited to go out, she wore a lotus floral crepe skirt today, and she also approved a jade carved silk coat outside, such a dress as a young lady of the Guogong Mansion is not exaggerated, but the makeup is a little too strong, she is too young and a little unbearable.

When they went out, Yan Minxue and Yan Shuwen both came together to meet the Duchess of Yan Guo and Yan Zhulin first, Chen Wuniang was not at ease, and personally sent people to the door, and saw that Yan Shuwen, who was just wearing a dress within the regulations, was lined like a maid by Yan Minxue, who had exquisite makeup and hair, so he was relieved.

As for the Duchess of Yan Guo and Yan Zhulin, seeing the stark contrast between Yan Minxue and Yan Shuwen, the two of them glanced at each other and smiled without saying a word.

It's not that the Duchess of Yanguo hasn't reminded her, but people don't pay much attention to it, and now that they are leaving, there is naturally no need to say more.

Yan Zhulin thought of the past, this was the first time Yan Minxue followed his mother to a banquet, and he was still a little young, but after going to the banquet and observing and learning, whether it was etiquette or conversational temperament, he was no longer the same.

"When everyone is gathered, let's go."

Compared with Yan Minxue and Chen Wuniang, the Duchess of Yan Guo is a little lazy.

Although Song Guogong is also one of the four great princes, he is the weakest among them, and the rumors are a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed declining, if it is not for the relationship between Song Lao Taijun and the Queen Mother, this title may not be kept.

"What about the second brother? I heard from the eldest sister that the second brother would go with him. ”

Yan Minxue looked around, his movements were not large, and he was not rude, but he showed his concern for Yan Huanlin in a timely manner.

As the only two heirs of the Guogong Mansion and a son-in-law, Yan Huanlin is also a high-quality mate among the girls of the right age, and Yan Minxue has also made many noble girls with the convenience of Yan Huanlin.

Yan Huanlin will participate in this banquet, and she also informed a few good little sisters early.

"He, if he wants to go, he will naturally go."

"Huh?"

Mama Wang had already helped the Duchess of Yan Guo into the carriage, and when she heard Yan Min's knowledge, she responded very casually, and entered the first carriage with Yan Zhulin.

Yan Shuwen bowed his head and said nothing, ignored Yan Minxue, and quickly got into his carriage.

"It's a good idea to let this stuffy gourd take advantage!"

Yan Minxue pouted quietly, dissatisfied in his heart, but he only dared to bury Yan Shuwen, and then got into the carriage, and saw Yan Shuwen sitting silently in a corner of the carriage, Yan Minxue felt that Yan Shuwen was stained with his own light.

The Song Mansion is located in the most prosperous Vermilion Bird Street, and the Yanguo Mansion is in Bainiao Lane, the carriage travel time is not too late, but the distance is a little far, and when the people from the Yanguo Mansion arrive, most of the guests have already arrived.

The receptionist at the door took the invitation and glanced at it, and then sang loudly, and several maids stepped forward for the first time and led the guests of the Yanguo Mansion to the garden, and now there is still some time before the banquet, and this time is also just social time.

The garden of the Song Guogong Mansion is actually newly sorted out, in order to save expenses, the actual living area of the mansion is less than half, and most of the pavilion courtyards have long been sealed.

As soon as the Duchess of Yan Guo entered the courtyard, she was surrounded by several familiar ladies, and Yan Zhulin and the three of them, as juniors, greeted several ladies one by one.

"The children will play by themselves, and it is difficult to go out of the house and not let go of the wind."

As soon as she saw someone, she cordially took the hand of the Duchess of Yanguo, and casually sent the children to play by themselves, Mrs. Jin Ningbo, she and the Duchess of Yanguo have always been friends, because they are both straightforward and almost inseparable temperament, they are very fatal, the two met before they left the cabinet, and the relationship has been getting better and better in the past ten years.

Although the husband's family is only an earl, Mrs. Jin Ningbo and the current queen mother are both from the Chengenhou Mansion, she is not only the sister of the Chengenhou mother, but also the aunt of the queen's mother.

Since the queen mother was canonized, there have been countless powerful people who have tried to befriend Mrs. Jin Ningbo, but for her, it is all face-saving love, and the only ones who are really good friends are the sisters before they leave the cabinet.

Another clan woman dressed in gorgeous clothes also chimed in: "That is, there are no male guests today, don't worry about it, even if the little sisters go to play, this garden of the Song Guogong Mansion is easily invisible." ”

Yan Zhulin raised his eyes slightly and glanced at this lady, it is not a secret that the Duke of Song is poor, the ridicule in this lady's words is undisguised, and only the Duchess of Qin, who is also from the Duchy Mansion, has such confidence.

Even among the noblewomen, the Duchess of Qin Guo is also extraordinarily jeweled, without him, the Duke of Qin is doing business for the country, and the Duchess of Qin Guo herself was originally from the richest man in Jiangnan, the imperial businessman Zhu family.

The reason why Yan Zhulin looked at her more was because it was Qin Guogong who became Lu Chengji's money bag, and like Yan Guogong's mansion, he became his stepping stone.

Because of Mrs. Song's birthday this time, it is not a whole birthday, nor is it a special age, and there is not most of it, the principal and the person invited are in the name of the Duchess of Song, and the posts sent out are all female dependents, even if there are male guests, they are all juniors.

Moreover, the Yong Dynasty did not say that men and women were guarded, there were female shopkeepers in the Chamber of Commerce, and women could also be seen in the low-level documents in the yamen, and the court was ...... There are no officials yet, but there are also female officials in the palace.

But in the end, there is also a difference between men and women, especially young noblewomen who have not left the cabinet, the reputation of innocence and self-respect is very important, but this is that ordinary people do not have so many constraints on women.

Duchess Yan Guo glanced at Yan Zhulin, and seemed to be a little uneasy, but Yan Zhulin smiled, "Mother rest assured, I will watch my sisters." ”

Yes, this is to take Yan Minxue and Yan Shuwen on his shoulders?

Yan Zhulin didn't have such good intentions, but he just had a plan.

Several ladies did not follow the juniors, Yan Zhulin agreed again, and the Duchess of Yan Guo didn't want to say anything, so she waved her hand and let her go.

The scenery of the garden is really good, but unfortunately no matter how good the scenery is, Yan Zhulin is tired of seeing it, but these ladies and ladies with different minds still have some to look at, and there are flocks of warblers and warblers everywhere that are more colorful than flowers.

As soon as the three of them got out of the sight of the elders, Yan Minxue showed the look of Ai Ai, Yan Zhulin didn't see it, and just waited for her to speak, "Big sister, there are a few of my friends over there, can I go over and say hello to them?" ”

"Yes."

As soon as Yan Zhulin let go, Yan Minxue saluted and left in a hurry, as if he was afraid of being stopped again.
