Ding'an Houfu is well-known in the imperial capital family, this generation of Ding'an Hou knee in addition to the two early death of the son-in-law, only three concubines can grow up safely to adulthood. In his early years, in order to prolong the heirs and his lustful nature, Ding'an Hou accepted the aunts and houses in the courtyard, and tossed out more than a dozen concubines.

Earlier, at that time, Mrs. Ding'an Hou was still cultivating in the Buddhist hall because of the loss of her son, and when Mrs. Ding'an Hou was still alive, she married out seven or eight concubines. The old lady of Ding'an Hou is patriarchal, and Ding'an Hou doesn't have a concubine, and she doesn't care about the future of several concubines at all. Therefore, those concubines did not marry well, either married a widower who lost his wife and became the stepfamily of others, or even only sat on a pink sedan chair and went out in the evening to be an aunt.

Now there are three remaining concubines who are about the same age as Deng Ting, because of the sudden death of the old lady of Ding'anhou, which delayed the marriage. Ding'anhou is a person who only cares about his own happiness and doesn't care about the life and death of his children, and their biological mother is just an aunt, and she can't say anything about her daughter's marriage at all, so she can only pin her hopes on Mrs. Ding'anhou.

Mrs. Ding'an Hou is not the kind of sweet-faced and bitter mother-in-law, since she has left the Buddhist hall to re-take charge of the middle feed of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, it is natural for her to manage the marriage of the concubine.

She contacted some ladies who had applauded her in the past, and invited a famous matchmaker in the imperial capital to come over, and when the time came, she selected a lot of people, but it was difficult to see these people choose Mrs. Anhou.

Where can the people who are too good look down on the concubines of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and the people who can look up to them are either the children of the family who have some problems or the family wealth that the Ding'an Hou Shizi has accumulated in recent years.

In recent days, Mrs. Ding'an Hou has frequently taken them on diplomatic trips.

Xiao Xuan thought back to the extremely beautiful face of the girl just now, the girl hurriedly walked past the door, and once glanced back at the hall. It was a pair of beautiful eyes, glowing with light, and a very ambitious appearance.

The girl is exquisitely dressed, and she should not be a maid in the princess's mansion, but a young lady who came to attend the full moon banquet with the elders of the family.

Today, in front of the princes' clan, the families who are slightly famous in the imperial capital have come to Princess Nan'an's Mansion. There were many girls about the same age as the girl, and most of them were talking in groups outside the main hall.

The girl was alone, and she didn't even have a maid with her.

"What we're talking about here is a short matter of the family, Zhaoyue is not married yet, so she shouldn't be very interested in these." Princess Wen of Qin said with a smile to everyone. "If Zhaoyue is bored, go out for a walk."

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but be curious in her heart, and Wen's words just spoke to her heart.

"Then I'll go out for a walk." Xiao Xuan couldn't wait to stand up. "I'll be back when the feast begins."

After that, Xiao Xuan turned around and went out with Dan Tang and Green Forest.

As soon as Xiao Xuan walked out of the main hall, he looked at the groups of young ladies outside, but he didn't see the girl just now.

"Say hello to the princess." At this time, Deng Ting took the initiative to come over. "Is the princess looking for someone?"

"Why are you here alone?" Xiao Xuan looked at Deng Ting, who only brought two maids by her side. "I remember the last time you were here, didn't you have a few sisters at home? And what about Mrs. Ding'anhou? ”

"Today, my mother brought me and my sisters to say hello to my cousin, and my mother went to my cousin's yard to visit my newborn sister, so that we could walk around at will." Deng Ting scratched her head embarrassedly. "It's just that I didn't come out for a while, and my sisters all went to talk to their friends."

Deng Ting followed Mrs. Ding'an Hou to live in the Buddha Hall for a long time, and in the previous years, not to mention the gate of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, she had never even left the door of the Buddha Hall. Most of the circles of ladies in the imperial capital have known each other since childhood, Deng Ting came out halfway, if there is no guide, I am afraid that it will be difficult to integrate into any circle, not to mention that she is just a girl from the declining Hou Mansion, and no one will take the initiative to take care of her.

Deng Ting, who has always been cared for, doesn't care, she has been used to the cold days in the Buddhist hall since she was a child, and she has been prepared for this situation for a long time.

Before Xiao Xuan came out of the main hall, she had been standing quietly in the corner.

"Aren't you bored, then?" Deng Ting has an open-minded and sparse temperament, and Xiao Xuan has a good impression of her. "It's very lively in the yard."

"I'm used to it." Deng Ting grinned. "It's good that no one cares about me, I don't understand what the ladies say."

The topics that the ladies who have not been out of the cabinet get together are nothing more than clothes and jewelry, gossip about the imperial capital, and Deng Ting is not proficient in any of them.

"What about the sisters in the family? Don't they take you into contact with other people? Xiao Xuan remembered the last time she saw Deng Ting and her sisters, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered who the girl she saw just now was. Sister Ting, I remember last time there was a very good-looking one of your sisters, what is her name? ”

Those aunts in the Ding'an Hou Mansion can be favored by the lustful Ding'an Hou, including Deng Ting's biological mother and the biological mother of the Ding'an Hou Shizi, each of them is a beauty with its own charm.

Therefore, the children of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, both male and female, all have good looks.

When Xiao Xuan asked, Deng Ting tried hard to think about it.

"The sisters in the family are all very good-looking, but the most beautiful thing is that sister Shu standing on my left hand that day, she is the ninth in the family, and she is the most beautiful and oldest of the unmarried sisters in the family." Deng Ting said.

"Then it's time for her to start looking at each other now, right?" When Xiao Xuan heard this, he already had a bad plan in his heart.

"Well, there are three unmarried sisters in the family who are older than me, and now my mother takes them out for a walk, just to show my sister a suitable person." Deng Ting paused when she said this. "It's just that we don't have a sacred heart in Ding'an Houfu, and the sisters are quite unhappy in choosing a son-in-law."

Xiao Xuan didn't expect Deng Ting to say such things arrogantly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't talk about that, since you're alone, I'm also alone, let's go out for a walk together." Xiao Xuan took the initiative to step forward and grabbed Deng Ting's arm.

"Okay."

When Xiao Xuan grabbed Deng Ting and turned to walk out, he glanced at the dantang and the green forest who were following beside him, but the dantang had not come back to his senses, and the green forest had already turned his head and ran out in small steps.

Dan Tang wanted to say that this was Princess Nan'an's Mansion, and he just wanted to shout to stop the green forest, but was stopped by Xiao Xuan.

"Dantang, leave the green forest alone." Xiao Xuan glanced at Dan Tang and said. "Follow me."

"Yes, Princess." In front of Deng Ting, who looked ignorant, Dan Tang had no choice but to follow.

Green Forest trotted out all the way, turned around outside, and finally saw the figure of the girl Xiao Xuan saw before appearing not far away.

When Xiao Xuan saw that girl before, it happened that Green Forest also saw it, that girl's appearance was really outstanding, and Green Forest couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Green Lin cautiously followed the girl, keeping a certain distance, until she met with a servant woman and entered a courtyard.

Lu Lin knew that he was a new face in Princess Nan'an's mansion, but he was too close, so he had to silently write down the appearance of the servant woman and the name of the courtyard, and went to look for Xiao Xuan instead.

Listening to the words whispered in the ear of the green forest, Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment.

"Sister Ting, shall we go and see my sister?" Several thoughts went through Xiao Xuan's mind, and Xiao Xuan quickly made up his mind.

"Okay."

So Xiao Xuan and Deng Ting went to the main courtyard where Xiao Lu lived hand in hand, and the people who could serve in the main courtyard were naturally people selected by the Internal Affairs Office, and they all knew Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan dragged Deng Ting all the way into the main courtyard unimpeded, and it was also a coincidence that at this time, only Mrs. Ding'an Hou was with Xiao Lu.

"How did you two get together?" At this time, Xiao Lu, who was dressed in a red palace suit, saw Xiao Xuan and Deng Ting appear together, and asked with some surprise.

"I saw that Sister Ting was alone, so I took her to walk around the eldest sister's mansion together." Xiao Xuan pointed to the green forest beside him and said. "Who knew that the green forest was reckless, and if you followed me, you could get lost. Fortunately, she met someone and showed her the way, so she was able to find it back. ”

"Oh, really?" Xiao Lu answered. "Is it the people in my house who pointed the way to the green forest?"

"It's not from the big sister's house, I want to think about it." Xiao Xuan suddenly raised her eyes, looked at Mrs. Ding'anhou who was sitting next to Xiao Lu, stared at her and said. "It's the last time I saw it here with my eldest sister, the girl in Mrs. Ding'anhou's house. I asked Sister Ting, and she said that she was the ninth in the family, and her name was a girl. ”

Deng Ting tilted her head and looked at Xiao Xuan in confusion.

Mrs. Ding'anhou's heart sank.

"Those children have no rules, how can they wander around in the princess's mansion?" Mrs. Ding'an Hou said tentatively. "I'll talk about them when I get back."

"It's okay, it's rare for my cousins to come to me, it's okay to walk around." Xiao Lu listened to Mrs. Ding'anhou's words and felt that it was nothing.

"By the way, where did you get lost in the green forest?" Xiao Xuan poked at the green forest.

Lu Lin hurriedly said the name of the courtyard before.

"Big sister, I think Mrs. Ding'anhou should talk about those girls. It's really nothing for them to walk around in the big sister's house on weekdays, but on a day like today, there are many male guests in the outer courtyard, and if they collide with the girl's house that has not left the cabinet, I'm afraid it's not good. "Xiao Xuan has something to say." Mrs. Ding'anhou, do you think I'm right? ”

Xiao Lu heard the name of the courtyard, which was the courtyard arranged in the mansion today for male guests to change clothes and be convenient, and immediately realized it, and she sat up, who was originally lazily leaning on the chaise longue.
