Embarrassing people are inevitably embarrassed (I)

This day in Lanfu is particularly lively, and today is the birthday of the old Kangning Hou. In previous years, Kang Ninghou was reluctant to do it, but this year, his sons persuaded him to do it, not only for his birthday, but also to celebrate the promotion of the second child. Lan Banggu, who was released from abroad, returned to Beijing a few days ago, and the holy decree had been issued, and he was transferred to the Jingdong garrison battalion as the main five-product supervision army. Although he is a civilian official, he is in charge of the supervision of the barracks. The elder brother is the governor of Zhili, plus the Jingdong garrison battalion, the two brothers have captured half of the troops of Gyeonggi Province within its range, which provides an additional guarantee for Yiyi's ascension to the throne.

Everyone smelled the stronger smell of the prince inheriting the unification, and many people who were still watching today planned to show that they were right, even if they didn't say anything, they had to show their goodwill. The major families in the capital and the royal family have been invited. The Tang brothers are even more invited. From the queen mother's point of view, the Tang family is an in-law. What's more, the sons of the Tang family in the capital, except for Xinyang, are all idle jobs, but that grade is still there, not to mention that I don't know when I will have real power.

On the birthday of his grandfather, Jing'an actively invited Xintian to go. Don't look at Kang Ninghou, just look at the princess's enthusiasm, and a few people are not easy to refuse. The day before the birthday banquet, Jing An went to Aoki Garden to personally deliver the invitation, and Wan Ning, who originally wanted to be low-key at home, was embarrassed to refuse. If it is another woman, it can be said that the door is not out of the second door, and the husband is not in the capital, so it is inconvenient to go out. But she is busy every day in Baihuatang, Aoki Tea House, and Yuehuaxuan. I also need to go to Baicaotang from time to time to ask about some affairs. Under impatience, the evening setting has to be coordinated.

Although Jing'an is a careless person, but now he is bent on making friends with Wan Ning, Considering the Lan family's festival with Xinjie, and Wan Ning has no acquaintances in the capital, he took the initiative to wait at the door of Lan Wai's carriage before getting off on the day of the main day. With the princess from the queen so warmly accompanied, the people who originally had in their arms to snub or provoke this newly baked young lady of the Tang family in the capital all took their minds at this time. The other party is not only the fourth-grade female official in the palace who is specially sealed by the Queen Mother, but also enjoys the same courtesy as the third-grade lady.

There are also some boudoir women who like Tang Sanshao, although they are not angry, but they are already in the boat, and there is no other way at this moment, except for glaring at them fiercely, they are unharmed by Wan Ning, and they have no effect at all. Most of the people who came to the birthday banquet today were dressed up and traveled, and the beige white plain skirt with silver shoulders, a jade hairpin, and a bright blue waist were all decorated. Even if it is so light, it still attracts the attention of the people around it.

Jing'an is dressed in pink today, looking beautiful and lively, Walking together with Wanning, one cold and one hot, complementing each other. The two of them have given a lot of praise along the way, whether they are sincere or pretending to be people. Wan Ning just maintained a decent and reserved smile on her face, and even Jing An, who usually had a detached personality, couldn't help but imitate it. In the past, the etiquette and discipline in the palace stared at her, and she had never performed it so well. I have to sigh in my heart, This is really charming, fortunately she has a fancy for Xinjie.

In front of Kang Ninghou who came all the way to the two, Jing'an presented a picture of a pine crane drawn by her. The late condensation is to pick a high-quality stone from the stationery of Yixinzhai, and the inkstone with fine workmanship. Lan Ruoyu and Lan Ruoyin happened to be having fun in front of Kang Ninghou, and as soon as the gift was opened, Lan Ruoyin pursed her mouth. The princess's handwriting is priceless, but this inkstone is an ordinary thing with value. Didn't this third young grandmother wear red makeup when she came to the door? And I heard that she took care of the business of the Sanshao Tea House, and the young master of the Lan family was even more envious of the Sanshao's Yuehuaxuan, and it was said that she was making money every day. This woman can handle it. She was still muttering in her heart, but Lan Ruoyu had already said it: "The young grandmother of the Tang family, this gift is the first inkstone today?" I remember that the piece that Master Li from the Hanlin Academy gave me just now is very similar to this?! On the surface, he whispered to Lan Ruoyin, but in fact, everyone could hear the disdain in his tone, most of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy were only knowledgeable and had no money, and the proprietress of the first restaurant in the capital also sent the same thing, Is it from the cold people?

Kang Ninghou glanced at Lan Ruoyu impatiently. These granddaughters, except for Ruoxue, are really few sensible. Even Ruoxue lost at the hands of this woman. They're embarrassed to talk about the host here. This is really to blame myself, when I picked a daughter-in-law, I only thought that the door was right, which was beneficial to the connections of the Hou Mansion, and I forgot the words of the old man, a good daughter-in-law of one generation, and three generations of good children and grandchildren. Alas!

Jing'an was a little angry, and the sisters of his uncle's family became more and more disagreeable. She was about to say something, but Wan Ning gently tugged at her sleeve and shook her head lightly. Then Wan Ning smiled and said to Kang Ninghou: "The younger generation has heard the Queen Mother praise Hou Ye's landscape paintings since he was a child, saying that in addition to the patchwork scenery in Hou Ye's landscape paintings, the prince has a different style and bones, and the prince has an open-minded and witty attitude towards this life and heaven and earth. In the thick ink rain and fog, a Mengtong chases crickets, and a pair of frolicking cats in front of the solemn mountain rocks, which is really interesting and chic. ”

Hearing this, old Kang Ninghou's eyes lit up, this woman is not only smart, but also cares about things. This kind of thing was definitely not told to her by the Queen Mother recently. No matter how she found out, this mind was several times stronger than that of her own granddaughters. He said with a smile: "That's the Queen Mother's award." It's just that I didn't expect the girl Lan Xinhui to have such a good memory, and she even remembers such a trivial matter. ”

Wan Ning took out the gentle and modest attitude of the juniors: "This is not a trivial matter, it is indeed the Queen Mother who said it a few times, and when I followed the Queen Mother at that time, I heard a lot, and naturally remembered it." This sedan chair was carried to the great satisfaction of the old Kang Ninghou.

Old Kang Ninghou nodded: "That's because he was too reckless when he was young, and he wanted to take out some works and show them everywhere, so that everyone could laugh." ”

Wan Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "The old marquis is modest." I haven't seen your work for a few years, so it's definitely more beneficial. The younger generation thought that you always like to paint, so I specially chose this warm inkstone for you to use in winter. It's just that the master of the inkstone at this moment is also naughty, and he carved the two naughty boys next to the inkstone. I also hope that your old man will not be disgusted. ”

Old Kangninghou looked at the box before and knew that it was an inkstone, but he didn't look closely. At that time, I just thought that people thought that he was a literati, and it would not be a big mistake to send an inkstone, even if she came with a brick today, her own family would have to give it to the queen. Unexpectedly, what she brought was actually a warm inkstone. This kind of stone is very rare, and the temperature of the stone will increase with the action of grinding the ink, and it will remain for a long time. If this is in winter, the ink is not easy to condense, and it is a rare treasure when painting, especially when painting large works. And at this time, take a closer look at the pair of naughty children, It is even more cute and cute, playing by the inkstone. A pen can be held between four small hands. This inkstone can be called the best material, and the design process is unique.

Old Kang Ninghou had been sitting all morning, but at this time he stood up and took two steps happily with the inkstone. Calling out the good stuff.

Wan Ning and Jing An glanced at each other, smiled separately, and didn't have to pay attention to Lan Ruoyu and those people.

The two of them said some more in front of Old Kang Ninghou, and when the table was announced, they went to the banquet hall together. It's just that along the way, I don't know what kind of wind is hanging in the past few days, and I see Wanning pointing at it. Wan Ning was quite calm, but Jing An frowned. Give the palace maids around you a look, and naturally someone will go to investigate.

The seats of the two were originally far apart, but Jing An insisted and took the initiative to sit next to Wanning. Wan Ning followed Xinjie to practice internal strength during this period of time, and she made a lot more progress than she had practiced alone for several years. Now my eyesight and ears have improved dramatically. Jing An couldn't hear what those people were saying, but she could hear it. As soon as I sat down, I heard two women talking in private: "Back then, it was said that whichever prince the queen mother arranged for her to, which prince would become the crown prince." Which Cheng thought that it was not enough for her to seduce the former prince, but also wanted to seduce other people, but the former prince knew about it and was angry, so he wanted to kill her. ”

"No wonder?! Isn't this a loss of the crown prince? ”

"You say, could it be that she planned it with the current prince?"

"You mean to say that she also went to bed with the current prince?"

I only heard a woman exclaim: "Didn't the third young man of the Tang family pick up other people's broken shoes?" ”

"Shhhh People now have the support of princesses. ”

"So what?! Broken shoes are broken shoes! It must have been too filthy back then, so the prince was reluctant to attend their wedding. ”

"Do you think she will have any beginnings with the prince now?"

"I don't think, you see the prince has avoided Beijing. On the contrary, recently someone saw her coming out of the Five Princes' Mansion in the morning. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard about it, and I've heard that in the Lion Garden, I saw the fifth prince walking around the garden with a woman in his arms, although he was wearing a veil, he was obviously dressed like this slut."

"Some people also said that they had also seen this thing in Aiwanyuan and had a tryst with the five princes. Everyone is visiting the garden, tsk, this product is actually in the bamboo forest with the five princes, tsk, some people want to go into the bamboo forest to walk, but they are all blocked by the guards of the five princes. What a shame! ”

"Really? She is already married to Tang Sanshao, and she is still not satisfied? ”

"Tang Sanshao is said to have been ordered to go out of Beijing to do business."

"It's really shameless, my husband can't stay at home for a few days. Tang Sanshao was also unlucky, marrying such a bad thing. ”

Wan Ning frowned slightly, she could understand bad things about her, After all, there are everyone in these women's circles, and many people can't look down on others. Since the wedding, it has been too ostentatious, and all kinds of criticism are normal. But how could she and Yi Heng be pulled out of nothing? Since Xinjie went to Jiangnan, she has never gone out alone, and today she also brought the Yuling sisters and the Jingwei Wucao of Baihuatang to the birthday banquet. She glanced at the Misty Grass, who quickly disappeared into the crowd.
