Chapter 149: The determination to steal the limelight

Because of this defeat of the Xiliang Kingdom, the Marquis of Yong'an made great contributions, so he was given the Guogong Mansion, and now the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is already the Xuanguo Mansion.

And Mrs. Xuan, the Duchess of the Kingdom, has been preparing for this lantern festival for more than half a month.

"The lanterns in the pear orchard are ready, do you want to see them yourself?" The maid Ziyan came in and said.

"I'll take a look in a moment, have you prepared the riddle?"

"Don't worry, the slave maid went to invite some students in Beijing earlier, and prepared a lot of lantern riddles, and now they have been hung in the lanterns."

Mrs. Xuan nodded reassuringly: "That's good, this lantern festival is getting bigger and bigger, and now most of the famous ladies and nobles in the capital have to participate, and there is no mistake in this matter." ”

Zi Yan smiled: "Madame's lantern festival, so many people come every year, and I don't see Madame so nervous, this year's nervousness, presumably it is only because of the marriage of the county lord." ”

Mrs. Xuan glanced at her: "As far as you know." ”

Of course, Mrs. Xuan is for Xuan Chaoyuan, Chaoyuan is now nineteen, this year's Lantern Festival, and it is rare that she is not at the border and rushed back to the capital, such a good opportunity, how can Mrs. Xuan miss it?

And Grandpa Guo has now also given a death order to Chaoyuan, and the marriage will be finalized this year, so she wants to continue this lantern festival and look at each other for Chaoyuan's good life, although she and Grandpa Guo have a candidate, that is, Miao Yuxuan, this lantern festival is also a good opportunity for the two to get along.

"Where's the county lord?" Mrs. Xuan asked.

Zi Yan said with a smile: "I am dressing up in the room, the county lord was originally a natural beauty, but he rarely dresses up in the plain day, and if he dresses up like this today, he will definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd!" ”

"I'm afraid that this girl will be disobedient, and when the time comes, I will perfunctory me, so I will go and see it myself."

Mrs. Xuan said, and went to the courtyard where Yuan lived.

"Mother? What are you doing here? Chao Yuan looked up from the bookcase and said with some surprise: "The Lantern Festival is so busy. ”

Mrs. Xuan looked at her like this and knew that she must be reading the battle report from the border again, and she was suddenly annoyed: "I'm busy and don't see who it's for!" You're deliberately blocking me, aren't you? I made you dress up so well, this dress was sent to you, what are you doing here? ”

Chao Yuan got up and helped her: "Mother, isn't it too early, Bian Guan just sent this battle report, I want to take a look at it clearly first, and then I don't worry about the Lantern Festival." ”

Mrs. Xuan poked her in the head: "Are you the only one in charge of the affairs here?" You're all back to Beijing! Your father also arranged for someone to watch over there, no matter how bad it is, there is also your father! What do you want to do here? Don't try to fool me and delay with me, hurry up and change my clothes! My mother will come to dress you up herself! ”

Chao Yuan looked at Zi Yan beside Mrs. Xuan for help, and Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at the sky, pretending not to see.

Chao Yuan reluctantly compromised: "Yes." ”

As the sky gradually approached dusk, the Guogong Mansion was also lively, and the traffic at the gate of the mansion was busy, so it was not lively.

Ding Youlan is wearing a Shu brocade Yunluo skirt today, with a tasseled brocade belt around her waist, and a collar jingling sound between walking, not to mention anything else, it is a skirt worth a thousand gold, which is enough to overwhelm the crowd.

It can be seen that she is determined to steal the limelight today.
