Chapter 445: The Imperial Merchant Sun Family
Wei Yining met Wei Lanqi at Shunhua Gate, and the two had made an appointment to meet here before.
The average princess county lord has four companions, but the county lord Duanmin has a special temperament, and only said that he would rather lack than abuse, which originally belonged to Wei Yining, and later heard that she and the girl of the Wei family were good, so he wanted to choose one from the Wei family.
At first, she wanted Wei Laner to enter the palace, firstly, she had the best relationship with Wei Yining, and secondly, she was also the same age.
But Wei Laner had agreed to the marriage of the prince of Duan Wang before, so he took the initiative to resign and let Wei Lanqi, who was one year older than her, enter the palace to be Wei Yining's companion.
Wei Lanqi is not very dressed up today, her skin is as white as snow in a light purple dress, and her hair is Wei Lanzhu's hairstyle, although it is just an ordinary hairstyle, it looks particularly chic. A golden hairpin with a small emerald dragonfly is obliquely inserted, and a pearl collar is worn on the neck, and the rest is not decorated.
But the style of the whole body is elegant and noble, the cat's eyes are full of aura, and inadvertently reveal a reserved charm, which is soul-shattering.
Seeing Wei Yining, he smiled and said: "You are light, so you brought two boxes, I originally wanted to bring less, but the big sister and the second sister are not at ease, so they have to take this and that too, and they have to bring such a big car." If you want to use anything in the future, come directly to me and get it. ”
Wei Yining didn't have to be polite to her, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay." ”
There were already people waiting there in front of the palace gate, and when they arrived, one of the older palace maids walked up and said, "Say hello to the two girls!" It's just that there are a few other ladies who have entered the palace to accompany the study have not arrived, and Grandpa Xue has told you to invite you in together, so please wait patiently. ”
Wei Yining glanced at the palace maid silently, she was around forty years old, her dress and decoration were not very conspicuous, her face was thin, her nasolabial folds were very deep, and she didn't look very easy-going.
Wei Lanqi knew that this Gonggong Xue was the eunuch in charge of the queen's palace, and this elderly palace maid should also have some status, so she stepped forward and asked with a smile: "It's okay for us to wait, I don't know what to call my aunt?" ”
"It's good for the girl to call me Huiying," the older palace maid said, "Seeing that the girl looks so extraordinary, she must be the fifth lady of the Wei family." ”
Aunt Huiying's hand was clenched in her sleeve, and she was holding an embroidered bag that Wei Lanqi had given her, which should have contained some gold beads.
"This one is the fifth girl of the Wei family, she is my good sister, in the future, the two of us will have some unexpected places in the palace, and I will bother my aunt to mention more, and the two of us will be grateful." Wei Lanqi is a clever person, and she knows that when she enters the palace, she is unfamiliar, and it is best to have someone to take care of her.
Although they are the companions of the county lord, they can't trouble the county lord in everything, not to mention that the best way to deal with many things is to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
Lord Duanmin's temperament is impatient, and it is better not to let her know many things.
After a while, several more people came one after another, and they all got off in front of the palace gate.
"There's one person left," Aunt Huiying said, "which one?" ”
The little palace maid on the side opened the booklet, looked at it and replied, "It's the young lady of the Sun family." ”
Some of the people who were waiting became impatient, and asked in a low voice, "Which Sun family?" ”
A well-informed person said: "The Sun family in Huangzhou, who moved to the capital last year, her family is an imperial businessman, I heard that this Miss Sun is very domineering, relying on the family's money, ordinary people don't pay attention to it. ”
"So she also piled up money to accompany the study, right?" Someone teased: "Do you want to make a good appearance in front of everyone when you come so late?" ”
Wei Lanqi didn't get involved in these discussions, but sat with Wei Yining, with a snow-white lion cat in her sleeve, just full moon, pompom-like, and two foggy blue round eyes curiously and timidly looking around.
Wei Yining knew that Wei Lanqi couldn't leave the cat for a moment, and when the county lord of Duanmin asked her what she wanted to enter the palace, she asked if she could bring a cat in.
There are also many concubines in the palace who have cats, which is not forbidden, so the lord of Duanmin agreed.
"This daughter of the Sun family is really good enough to take Qiao," Wei Lanqi's eyes bent slightly, and she said to Wei Yining leisurely while smoothing the cat's hair: "She quarreled with the second sister a few years ago, and the second sister naturally refused to say it, or the third sister quietly told me." I estimate that since this person has that kind of temperament, he will naturally look at us unpleasantly when he enters the palace. Let's keep an eye on her. ”
"I don't know about this, I've never heard of any dealings between you and the Sun family." Wei Yining said: "Although the second sister's temper is a little anxious, she is also easy-going and solemn outside, as long as she doesn't meet Yan Bagongzi, there shouldn't be any conflict." ”
Wei Lanqi giggled when she heard this, and told Wei Yining about Wei Lanshan and Sun Rongrong in the silver building.
"The one surnamed Sun is here to catch the golden beetle," Wei Lanqi said, "Let's see if her means are enough!" ”
At this moment, a richly decorated carriage was slowly moving along the road three or four miles from the palace gate, and in the carriage sat a young woman dressed luxuriously.
This one is none other than Sun Rongrong, who had a conflict with Wei Lanshan before, but at this time she had changed her name, because the word Rong was heavy on the queen's name, so she changed it to Sun Mingming.
The reason why she came late was not because she wanted to show off in front of everyone, as some had speculated before.
It's because the Sun family has high hopes for her to enter the palace as a companion this time, and specially invited Fang Shi to come and see, saying that she must eat a bowl of chicken wing noodles for lunch, which means "rich and long", and she can be a concubine in the future.
And it is best to go out at three o'clock in the afternoon, the car can not go fast, it must be stable, otherwise it will turn the blessing upside down.
In fact, this is all nonsense, but the Sun family is confused, so they are convinced, and they are afraid that they will be a little reluctant.
Sun Mingming sat in the car, pulling eight large gold-lacquered cages, all of which were valuable objects, as well as two little maids who carried with him.
"Miss is in front of the palace gate, according to the rules, you have to come down and walk." The coachman said through the curtain.
"The palace is the most important rule, help me get out of the car." Sun Mingming was relieved to fight for a future in the palace, so she didn't dare to slack off.
Seeing that everyone was already waiting there, she stepped forward and said apologetically, "I'm late, please forgive me." ”
Although she said this, she didn't feel that she had offended anyone, anyway, the request in the palace was to enter the palace in the afternoon today, and there was no specific time.
"Now that everyone is here, please follow me in!" Aunt Huiying didn't say much, turned around and led the way.
The rest of the people consciously followed behind and quietly walked in through the palace gate.
