The location of this Zhuangzi of the old man of the Sheng family is also good, and the Sheng family also lived in this Zhuangzi in the early years, which is one of the few private properties of the old man of the Sheng family. This Zhuangzi is located in the center of the mansions of many clansmen, and the most rare thing is that it is not far from the palace-outside mansions set by the four princes.

Li Ying secretly muttered to Jinran, estimating that this mansion would have to become Sheng Jinlan's dowry by then. Jin Ran didn't care much about her grandfather's private property, she knew that her grandfather preferred the second room of the Sheng family, so she didn't expect her grandfather to leave anything for herself, the private property that the old man of the Sheng family saved by himself, he would give it to whoever he wanted.

After all, Jin Ran lived here when she was a child, so she was also familiar with the way, and as soon as she got off the carriage, she gave the things in her hand to the housekeeper of the second room of the Sheng family who greeted her. She was carrying a set of gold and silver inlaid jewels made of gold and silver sheets, which looked jeweled and exquisite, but when it was serious, it was not worth a few dollars.

Jin Ran didn't want to give this Sheng Jinlan anything more, at most it was a set of head noodles plus some cream and cream from the rouge shop to wrap a box. These may be very expensive for other people, but for Jinran, these things are things that don't need money in their own shop, just take this box of Poria cocos cream as an example, if you really count, this whole box of Poria cocos cream needs only one or two copies, plus a little pearl powder, the cost is only two dollars.

But it is very beautiful to take such a delicate bag of satin cloth or something, and Li Ying skillfully tied a few flowers that had just been picked from the garden on this box, which was novel and new. Many of the girls who came with them were coaxing to take a look.

Although Jin Ran has a bit of a grudge against Sheng Jinlan, she at least won't say anything on the surface, Jin Ran smiled slightly: "You girls, just thinking about the novelty, these things are all given to Sheng Jinlan, if you open it so rashly, the owner of the family should be unhappy at that time." ”

The other little girls all pursed their lips when they heard this, not because of Jinran's words, but because they all knew Sheng Jinlan, and they still knew a little bit about Sheng Jinlan's temperament. This Sheng Jin Lan Su Ri is the most angry. If they moved her things like this, even if it was given to her by Sheng Jinran, this Sheng Jinlan would have to make a lot of trouble.

Everyone lost interest for a while, and they dispersed in a hurry.

Walking into this Zhuangzi, you will know the ingenuity of this Zhuangzi. This Zhuangzi is not big, but it has nine twists and turns, and uses a lot of natural mountains and rocks to divide the pattern of this Zhuangzi into nine curves and eighteen bends. The topography of this Zhuangzi is high on one side and low on the other. The other side of the gate is located on a lower level. And when you enter the gate, you have to go up a long mahogany staircase, which is surrounded by pink curtains on both sides of the mahogany staircase, perhaps because it is a maiden's feast today.

Dozens of meters long fence with dozens of meters of pink translucent yarn, this kind of yarn tent is extremely valuable, the roots of the silk are very fine silk, in the silk when it is on the good color, and then slowly woven by the skillful weaver girl, such a silk tent is much better than those who are woven first and then dyed, and the light transmittance is not good.

Jin Ran walked up slowly, there were maids stationed next to the fence here, and some young ladies couldn't climb up, so these maids caressed them up.

Zhang and Jinran arrived together. But Jin Ran had just stayed at the door to gossip with those young ladies from other families, while Zhang had gone in early.

Jin Ran followed the gossip of a few young ladies around him, and one of the young ladies said with a smile: "Lord Jinrui, I heard that on this Sheng Jinlan's gift, the praiser is that Luo Yi!" "The ladies in Kyoto all know the things that Sheng Jinlan and Bai Mo of the Sheng family have done, so they are all interested.

Jin Ran was also surprised, she honestly shook her head and said that she didn't know: "Huh? What the? Luo Yi is Sheng Jinlan's praiser? Sheng Jinlan, isn't she with Na Luoyi? "This Luo Yi and Sheng Jinlan directly tore their faces for the sake of the four princes, and the trouble can be said to be inextricable, and even the queen mother kicked it.

In the end, the two of them lost the fight, but the main concubine and the side concubine of the fourth prince still chose someone else, and this matter was reduced to a joke in Kyoto. Therefore, all the young ladies know a lot about this matter, and a few of them have a doorway, and even inquired about Sheng Jinlan and the praisers at the ceremony this time.

The one who just opened her mouth to ask was the lady concubine in the family of the Marquis of Anning in Beijing, although she was a concubine, she was the only girl in the family, and she was also very dignified. This lady of the Marquis of Anning and Sheng Jinlan are at odds with each other, and have always been quite concerned about Sheng Jinlan's movements, a few days ago Sheng Jinlan made such a fuss, she had already laughed in private, and this time Sheng Jinlan was also suspected of being deflated, she couldn't help but prick up her ears, wanting to hear what Sheng Jinlan's cousin Jinrui County Lord said.

Jin Ran really didn't know that this Luo Yi was going to be the praiser of Sheng Jinlan and the gift of Xuan, although she told her grandfather that she didn't want to be Sheng Jinlan's praiser, and asked her grandfather to find Luo Yi. But she definitely didn't expect that the second room of the Sheng family really found Luo Yi.

After all, the scene of the breakdown of the relationship between the two Sheng Luo families is still vivid.

Jin Ran smiled and sighed: "My news is not as well-informed as you, I only know that this Luo Yi and Jin Lan will be a family in the future, but I don't know that the relationship between the two of them can be so good." After experiencing such a thing, Jinlan can still ask Luo Yi to be her praiser. It is particularly admirable for her open-mindedness. "This is a playful statement, which of the ladies here doesn't know that Sheng Jinlan is the most cautious person? This can be regarded as secretly belittling her.

Everyone chatted, but soon arrived at the place where the banquet was held, and now that the weather has warmed, the second room of the Sheng family simply opened the gift of Sheng Jinlan in the garden. Fortunately, the garden of this Zhuangzi is very large, and it is not small to set up a stage and many tables, but because the tables and chairs are placed among the flowers, it is a little more novel.

The front table is very different from the others, this one is a mahogany table, and the legs are also plated with a light layer of gold, which contrasts with the dark red lacquer color of the corner of the table, which is a bit extravagant. The other tables are all Huanghuali of the same specification, the format and size are exactly the same, which gold-edged table is obviously deliberately set aside.

Jin Ran was a little curious, she beckoned gently to the little maid waiting beside her: "Hey, little girl, who is your mahogany table for?" How did it become vacant? ”

The little girl was not very old, but she knew this matter clearly, and she said quickly like pouring beans: "So that the Lord of Jinrui you know, this table is specially reserved for the fourth prince, today's gift of our young lady, the fourth prince said that he will definitely come over to cheer!" In the end, this little girl also had a bit of honor and shame in her mouth.

Jin Ran nodded thoughtfully.

And the young lady of the Marquis Mansion on the side was full of disdain: "That's why Sheng Jinlan can do this kind of thing, and she is not afraid of being too flattering and making people look down on her." "After all, although the royal family is respected today, in the courtesy of other people's children, the person who sits on the main seat or the most conspicuous seat should also be the elder of the person who performs the ceremony, which is considered to be a bit of courtesy.

The little girl took a few colorful sachets from the tray on the small table behind her and handed them over: "Lord Jinrui, today our young lady and Lu Zhili have prepared a sachet for all the young ladies, each of these sachets has a different floral fragrance, and each one has its own unique fragrance. Choose your favorite flavor. ”

The last sentence was said to all the show girls sitting at Jinran's table.

This kind of trick is ingenious, the girls are not very old, and when they saw such a fresh way to play, they all surrounded them one by one and began to choose. Jin Ran didn't care much about these sachets, she smiled and watched a few young ladies choose before she stepped forward: "I won't fight with you, just take any one." ”

There are also a certain number of these sachets, and when Jinran goes up, there is only the last pale white silver-edged sachet left. Jin Ran saw that the pattern of the remaining sachet was quite plain and liking, she gently picked up the sachet and put it on her nose and sniffed it lightly, very fine: "Hey? This sachet is pear blossom scented. "The faint aroma of pear blossom is not strong, but it will not be disturbed by other strong floral fragrances, with its own unique grace and indifference.

Jin Ran was so satisfied that he wore his sachet on his waist.

Just as the little girls were chattering, the four princes arrived.

He strode in, a strange smug look on his face. Sheng Jinlan's father, the second master of the Sheng family, bent his waist and followed the four princes with a smiling face, he was used to being pampered, and he had already raised a huge single belly, this time it was difficult for him to bend over and follow the four princes, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

The fourth prince sat on the throne unceremoniously, and he spoke loudly to the second master of the Sheng family, without awe in his tone: "I'll just say, how good it is to let this Luo Yi be the praiser of your daughter and the gift of the house, in this way, my two concubines will be safe and sound in the future, the back house will be harmonious, and the impact on the master and me will be good in the future." Then I will have a light on my face too. ”

He playfully played with the imperial green bracelet in his hand, and his tone was a little disdainful: "The things you did in the second room of the Sheng family were really a bit cheap, you calculated the master, and I won't care about you, but in the future, your daughter Sheng Jinlan will still compete with Luo Yi, and if something went wrong in the mansion and made me lose face, I can't say anything about your daughter's life." ”

The second master of the Sheng family bent a little more in the few words of the four princes, and he was angry and bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the four princes, and his mouth was just "yes, yes." "Yes.

It was also boring for the four princes to have such an uninformed person standing beside them, and he waved his hand rather boringly and waved the second master of the Sheng family away. The contempt contained in it is visible to the naked eye.

The ceremony is about to begin, first a bunch of trivial processes, and then Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi will come on the field.
