Yang Yurao ran back to Yuguang Courtyard, saw Yang Yushu, and said all this in one go.

"Eldest sister, listen to the words of the sixth sister and the eighth sister, they are jealous of the seventh sister, and they dare not say it in front of the seventh sister. You know that we are being badly abused behind our backs! ”

"That's what they said?" Yang Yushu also heard it for the first time, seeing Yang Yurao's cheeks flushed, she hurriedly took her hand and persuaded: "The two of us are sisters, according to what they say, we are also of one heart!" You just have to remember that the eldest sister will always be on your side! ”

Yang Yurao nodded a little calmly, and asked Yang Yushu again: "Eldest sister, did you say that the seventh sister was really not born by her mother?" ”

Yang Yushu smiled thoughtfully and shook her head at Yang Yurao, "How do I know!" The sixth sister and the eighth sister have bad brains, don't follow them to make mistakes! If this word reached the ears of the mother, none of them would be able to eat and walk around. ”

Yang Yurao got this, turned her head and talked about Yang Yuyu and Yang Yujiao in private, and even brought the aunt of the two to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was furious, punished Yang Yujiao and Yang Yuyu for banning their daughters, and stopped the monthly routine of the two aunts for two months. My aunt's monthly livelihood depends on the monthly allowance given by the public middle school, and I have no money for two months, so I'm waiting to eat chaff vegetables.

Yang Yuyu and Yang Yujiao scolded Yang Yurao behind their backs, and Yang Yurao came to demonstrate with a smile.

"Sixth sister, eighth sister, I am also kind enough to ask, Mrs. is so angry, it means that the seventh sister is still Mrs. herself. You have not been punished in vain! ”

But Yang Yushu on the other side didn't think so. She secretly felt that the more Mrs. Li made a fuss, the more she was afraid that it would be a sign of weakness.

The next day, Yang Yushu went to Shuying Building.

Yang Qiqi has been bored for a long time, and is preparing to embroider an embroidered screen of a thousand-armed Guanyin, waiting for the Queen Mother Qianqiu as a congratulatory gift next year. When Yang Yushu entered the door, she was splitting the threads, and baskets of silk threads, gold and silver threads were placed there.

Yang Yushu entered the door and saw that Yang Qiqi was leading people to divide the line, and sighed dumbly: "Seventh sister, what are you doing?" ”

Yang Qiqi didn't want them to know, so he said casually: "Senior Brother He sent it, I see so many threads, the colors are good, and I want to embroider an embroidery screen in my spare time." ”

Not only are the colors good? At first glance, you can see that these threads are not ordinary cotton threads. It is the best silk thread in the south of the Yangtze River, the color of this thread is shiny, and the color is full of luster when it shines in the light. With so much gold and silver thread, how much silver does it take to come down?

Yang Yushu's eyelids jumped slightly, and there was an indescribable astringency in her heart. On his face, he was very complimentary, and said with a smile: "I can embroider the screen, and it's good to think that I want to be a female celebrity!" You're amazing. ”

Yang Qiqi asked Ruyi to divide the line by herself, and asked Yang Yushu to go to the library to talk.

"Those of us who are very bored all day long, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of talk. The sixth sister and the eighth sister are people who can't talk but have brains, don't take the words they say nonsense to your heart. As soon as Yang Yushu sat down in the library, she opened her mouth to comfort Yang Qiqi.

Mrs. Li punished the sixth, eighth, third and fifth aunts in one go, and the whole house naturally knew about it. The reason why several people were punished soon spread throughout the Yuguo Mansion.

Of course, Yang Qiqi also heard about it, and the eldest girl came to her with nothing to do at this time, which made Yang Qiqi feel that there were no three hundred taels of silver here. She smiled slowly, "Oh, it's a matter of chasing the wind and shadows, since my mother has been punished, what should I do to my heart." ”

Yang Yushu didn't see the slightest excitement from Yang Qiqi's unhappy expression, and couldn't help but say tentatively: "The fifth aunt said behind her back that the two of us are compatriots of the same mother......

Yang Qiqi looked at her with a smile and said slowly, "Really? Does the eldest sister believe it? ”

Yang Yushu smiled very alertly, and said smoothly: "What is there to believe in this kind of thing, whatever Mother Nature says!" ”

Yang Qiqi was a little unsure of the purpose of Yang Yushu's trip, but he always felt faintly that she didn't have any good intentions when she said these words.

A few days later, rumors that the seven girls of the Yang family were not Mrs. Li's biological daughters spread far and wide, except for a few noble families who knew the truth and the inside story, the other royal relatives and nobles all looked like they were watching the excitement. It seems that they are all waiting to get a glimpse of the truth of the matter from Miss Yang Qi's ceremony.

Even Yang Yuyan couldn't help but ask Mrs. Li in the end, whether Yang Qiqi was her own child. Mrs. Li recognized it and didn't dare to tell the truth to Yang Yuyan.

This rumor made Yang Fu, the Duke of Yuguo, very dissatisfied, and asked Mrs. Li about Yang Qiqi's courtesy. Mrs. Li was a little reluctant to invite the guests. But the candidates of Zhengbin, Yousi, and Praiser have still not been replaced.

Mrs. Li's thoughts are really easy to guess, Yang Yuyan's etiquette was extraordinarily lively and public, but it was later covered by the five girls. The fifth girl has an ancestor like the Queen Mother and the King of Changyi County. If Yang Qiqi's courtesy greatly surpassed Yang Yuyan, what would people outside who didn't know think?

Yang Yuyan and Yang Qiqi are both the daughters of the Duke of Yuguo, but it is obvious that the third girl is not as valued by the family as the seventh girl. Where could Mrs. Li have such a thing happen!

Who knew that she was suppressing in the dark, but in the end, people were not as good as heaven, and as soon as October arrived, the palace came to the will. It is said that it is Yang Qiqi and Lu Li, the Queen Mother wants to be a guest and give Yang Qiqi a pipe, and the eldest princess of Tong'an will be the secretary, and Yang Qinghuan, the lord of Zhaoning County, will be the praiser.

When this news came out, it seemed to give Mrs. Li a blow to the head. She didn't understand in her heart, what did the Queen Mother do to promote Yang Qiqi like this?

Such a big thing can't be hidden from the noble family in Beijing.

Beginning on the tenth day of October, the gifts of He Yang Qiqi and Lu flowed into the Yuguo Mansion like a flash flood. The color screen was registered with the little maid, and the hands and eyes of the straight writing were sore. The important ministers of the court, the royal relatives and nobles, and those who did not tend to serve the queen mother, all went to the Yuguo Mansion to pay tribute.

Yang Fu felt that he had extra face, and repeatedly told Mrs. Li to pay special attention to Yang Qiqi's courtesy.

This time, everyone who wanted to see the excitement was dumbfounded. When several girls from the Yang family meet together, they will inevitably blush.

The sixth girl, Yang Yuyu, was still jealous of Yang Yurao's complaint because of her, so she couldn't help but tease her.

"The ninth sister is really right, the seventh sister's ceremony is not mixed with you, and it is really very grand and serious!"

When Yang Yuyan heard this, she laughed angrily, "If the sixth sister envies the blessing of the seventh sister and her heart is sour, she will go to Shuying Building to shed sour water." If I really have such a great ability, I will first arrange my own rites according to the seventh sister! ”

Several people couldn't laugh a little, and they were all jealous of Yang Qiqi in their hearts.

In the end, the eighth girl smiled reluctantly and said, "We don't have that blessing, and I don't expect my ceremony to be the same as the seventh sister in the coming year." It's just that the third, fourth, and fifth sisters are all the daughters of the Yuguo Mansion, so didn't they pass the seventh sister in the courtesy? The third sister and the seventh sister are still the same mother! When the eighth girl said that she was a mother and a compatriot, the words were particularly heavy.

When a few people said this, it was rare to let go of their previous grievances, so as not to laugh at the third girl for not being as good as the seventh girl.

They said this "high-minded talk" in the primary school hall of the Yuguo Mansion, and Yang Yuyan listened to it. She couldn't fight with these people, so she only counted all her grievances on Yang Qiqi's head. I can't wait for something to mess up this and the ceremony. Otherwise, let Yang Qiqi make a fool of herself in public, so that she can balance her heart a little.

There are less than ten days left before the ceremony, and as Du Yu and He Qianfan enter Beijing one after another, Yang Qiqi can't sit still.

I haven't heard anything from Pei Xin yet, what if the master can't come? When Yang Qiqi thought of this, he felt extremely disappointed.

Because Yang Fu personally inquired about Yang Qiqi and the guests who watched the ceremony, and there were the Queen Mother, the eldest princess of Wanchun, the eldest princess of Jiujiang and several princes, of course, all matters related to the ceremony, of course, could not be sloppy.

After October 20, there are still three days before Yang Qiqi's birthday. Inside and outside the Yang family, people are already busy.

Compared with the bustle of people coming and going in the Shuying Building, Yang Yuyan's Rose Pavilion is particularly deserted. She simply went to Yang Qiqi's house every day to sit down, either to see the gifts given by various families, or to tell her about the things she needed to pay attention to when she and her courtesies.

On this day, the sewing room sent two sets of new clothes to be worn by Yang Qiqi and Luli, and happened to meet Yang Yuyan.

Yang Yuyan looked at the material and embroidery of the clothes were particularly exquisite, touched and touched, and said with a smile: "Seventh sister, the material of your clothes seems to be plain brocade." ”

Yang Qiqi responded, and picked a random one to look at, "Just count this material as the lightest and most atmospheric, so I gave it to the sewing room." ”

Yang Yuyan touched the slippery material and couldn't help but say, "Do you still have it?" Give me one! ”

Yang Qiqi didn't care, and said with a smile: "If the third sister likes it, open the warehouse to pick it." ”

Yang Yuyan was busy with a smile on her face, and said, "You have a good eye, just help me choose a plain horse." ”

Yang Qiqi was a little suspicious in her heart, but she was still smiling lightly, and asked her again: "The third sister doesn't want to pick it herself?" ”

Yang Yuyan said: "I'll take a look at your style of clothes, and let the needlework room make me one in two days." As she spoke, her eyes fell on her shirt as if she were looking very closely.

Yang Qiqi glanced at the bamboo branches, and then went out of the house to the warehouse to get materials for Yang Yuyan. She deliberately chose for a long time, and when Yang Yuyan called her, she came out with the material, and said with a smile: "I don't know which look the third sister likes, but I think again, the beauty of the third sister will look good no matter how she wears it!" ”

Yang Yuyan thanked her with a smile and said goodbye to her and left.

After sending Yang Yuyan away, Yang Qiqi still returned to the back room. Zhu Zhi came out and whispered, "The third girl has done something." ”
