When I arrived at the Yongxing County Mansion, the main entrance was already full of traffic and guests.

Yang Qiqi and Yang Yuyan came earlier, and waited at the mouth of the alley for the old lady and Mrs. Li to enter the door of the Yongxing County Mansion together

When everyone arrived, Yang Yuyan supported Mrs. Cui, and Yang Qiqi followed Mrs. Li's side. Except for the second room, the people in the third room did not come at all.

Mrs. Li helped Mrs. Cui and whispered: "The third brother and sister are really brainless, she doesn't come to such a walk-around social, and she doesn't know how to teach the four girls how to be sophisticated. After all, the four girls and Miss Chen are not also classmates of female students! ”

Old Madam Cui smiled nonchalantly, "Xuan's daughter-in-law is inconsistent like that?" You don't care what she does, after all, she is your housekeeper now, and you know how to do it. When Mrs. Cui said this, she asked Mrs. Li again, "Is there any news from Chengqi?" Are you used to it outside, and are the days of the march hard? ”

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "It's only been a few days, and besides, I heard that Nanliang is much better than the northwest." Rest assured! ”

Old Madam Cui suddenly listened to the small steps, turned her head and glanced at Yang Qiqi and said, "Your third brother is going with the Hou Shizi of Yongping, have you reminded the Hou Shizi of Yongping to take more care of your third brother?" ”

Yang Qiqi felt ridiculous, Mrs. Cui had never looked at her directly. Now for the sake of Yang Jingji, it is rare to take the initiative to say such a sentence with her, although it is still commanding and condescending.

The people who were entertaining guests at the gate of Yongxing County saw that the people from the Yuguo Mansion had arrived, and they were very eager to welcome them. Some people even went to the flower hall to invite Chen Fangyue to welcome Yang Qiqi and Yang Yuyan sisters.

Chen Fangyue is wearing a wide-sleeved Luo shirt embroidered with goose yellow to welcome spring today, and she is wearing a goose yellow liuxian skirt on her lower body, and a pale yellow rose silk flower stands on the side of her hair bun, with a white jade head. This outfit makes her bright and elegant, and her skin is as white as snow.

Before approaching, Chen Fangyue took Yang Qiqi's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "If we are not in the women's school, I won't call you a girl." I'm older than you, so might I call you Seventh Sister? ”

Yang Qiqi smiled noncommittally, but when she saw Chen Fangyue's smiling eyes falling on her sideburns and the white jade lotus hairpin, her smile became even stronger.

The group went to the flower hall to pay homage to Mrs. Chen, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw that the princess of King Xin was also sitting on the side. Yang Qiqi suddenly remembered that this princess of King Xin and Mrs. Chen were both from the Xincheng Yuan family. The two families are also very close relatives. In addition to the princess of the king of letters, Murong Mian, who had not heard from him for several months, was also here.

When the people from the Yuguo Mansion saw the princess of King Xin and Murong Mian, the expressions on their faces couldn't help but show a little embarrassment, and their smiles became extremely stiff.

Murong Mian didn't seem to see Old Madam Cui and Mrs. Li, sitting in the circle chair and drinking tea slowly, without saying a word.

Mrs. Li coughed unnaturally, and the Duchess of Yongxing County, Gu, saw the embarrassment, and immediately said to the princess of the princess: "The newly bred wood hibiscus in the flower house is very beautiful, and the princess of the same county should not take a look." ”

The princess of the Xin Wang family didn't appreciate it at all, raised her eyebrows, and said with a pair of eyes that were extremely cold: "I have always disliked those, so it is better to accompany my cousin and aunt to say a few words." ”

Gu's face froze, and he was a little embarrassed.

The old lady smiled reluctantly, personally invited the old lady Cui to sit down, and asked with concern: "The third son of your family has an errand to go to Nanliang, but he has been gone for many days." ”

Old Madam Cui smiled and said, "No, this blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again." ”

"Time is urging people to grow old, and we are all old women now. Look at the children and grandchildren growing up again. The old lady smiled and said, "After the New Year, the girl in our family is about to get married." At the end of next year, your family will be filial, and family affairs should be done. ”

Old Madam Cui nodded and said with a smile: "No, our eldest girl will be nineteen years old next year." ”

"Xinyang Hou also has to keep filial piety for three years, and the two are not much different before and after. It's also a blessing for your big girl! ”

The two old ladies talked, Yang Qiqi and others paid their birthdays, and were personally led by Chen Fangyue to the inner courtyard to eat fruits and talk.

I don't know when it started, Yang Yuyan and Chen Fangyue became acquainted, and the two talked word by word, and the conversation was extremely speculative. It is obvious that Yang Qiqi is very redundant on the side.

Yang Yuyan asked: "Can you set up a stage today?" ”

Chen Fangyue said: "No, whoever is the old lady worships her birthday, she all sets up a stage to sing, it's really boring." Didn't my grandmother invite a troupe of singing and dancing and juggling. ”

Yang Yuyan said again: "Who did you invite?" ”

Chen Fangyue said with a smile: "My classmates in our girls' school, I invited everything I could." However, people as noble as Princess An Chang and your fifth sister Zhaoning County Lord are naturally too lazy to socialize. Chen Fangyue talked about Yang Qinghuan and Princess Tong'an together, which was very ironic.

Yang Yuyan didn't help Yang Qinghuan speak at all, but echoed and said: "The fifth girl in our family has always been so high. You see, in addition to attending the banquet with the prince and princess in the palace, others can easily invite her. When Yang Yuyan said this, she seemed to think of something, and said with a soft smile: "The marriage between my fifth sister and His Royal Highness the Ninth is a sure thing. You have also been married, and you will be married next year. His Royal Highness the Ninth is better than His Highness the Eleventh, and you will have to get along with my fifth sister in the future! ”

Chen Fangyue looked annoyed, and said: "It's all a concubine, and when you see you in person in the future, you naturally want to socialize." I just wish we didn't have to interact in private. She said, and couldn't help but sigh: "When the marriage between you and His Royal Highness is decided, it will be good for the two of us to get closer." When the time comes, maybe the Seventh Highness and the Eleventh Highness will get along well, and they will gradually get better. I saw that His Highness Eleventh was very harmonious with any of his brothers. ”

Yang Yuyan's face flushed slightly, and she said timidly: "The seventh cousin is also very gentle to others, I think he is also the one who gets along very well among the brothers!" ”

Yang Qiqi listened to the two of them yearning for a future married life, especially like-minded, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, laughing at Yang Yuyan's marriage has not yet been settled, and Murong Zhao wants to divorce Chen Fangyue again. If the two of them knew this, I wonder if they would think Fang Cai's words were too ridiculous?

"Today is the old lady's birthday, is His Highness Eleventh coming?" Yang Yuyan asked curiously.

Chen Fangyue couldn't help but show a little loss, and whispered: "His Highness Eleventh said that maybe he may not be able to come." You also know that if it is my mother's birthday, several highnesses will probably come. Chen Fangyue unconsciously revealed a bit of inferiority complex about her life experience.

Not to mention anything else, Yongxing County Gong is one level lower than Guogong. It's like the Yuguo family, although Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Li are not high. But fortunately, the ancestors of the Yuguo Mansion are of high seniority, and the Yuguo Duke is very trusted by the emperor. The family did not have a princess to raise the lintel. Her father, Yongxing County Gong, is now a little high. As for the matter of entering the women's school, if it weren't for her aunt there, she might not have been able to get in.

Yang Yuyan smiled and comforted her: "Xu Shi His Highness Eleventh can come!" ”

As a result, it was not long before he finished speaking. Sure enough, the little maid came to report happily, and said: "Girl, girl, His Royal Highness Duan Wang, His Royal Highness the Seventh, His Highness the Eleventh, and His Highness the Twelfth have come down." ”

Chen Fangyue was quite surprised in her heart and said, "You mean it really! ”

The little maid nodded, and she couldn't hide her excitement, and said, "It's true, I've already asked the old lady to say hello at this time, and the eldest prince is going to the water pavilion to talk!" ”

Yang Yuyan was also very surprised, not to mention anything else, even if the old lady of the Yuguo Mansion had a birthday, it would be difficult to let those princes appreciate their faces. What's more, there is just an old lady from the Yongxing County Mansion!

Chen Fangyue couldn't help but be excited and excited, and hurriedly invited Yang Yuyan to say: "The Seventh Highness is also here, let's go over and have a look." ”

Yang Qiqi was already very upset when he heard that the fifth prince and the twelfth prince were inside, and when he saw that the two of them were eager to go over, he hurriedly refused: "Miss Chen, I want to go to the flower room to see Mu Furong, if you go to the water pavilion with my third sister, can you let someone lead me to the flower room to have a look?" ”

Chen Fangyue saw that Yang Qiqi didn't plan to go over, and she was even more satisfied. nodded immediately, pointed to a little girl at random, and asked her to lead Yang Qiqi. Chen Fangyue and Yang Yuyan went all the way to the Water Pavilion.

When the two arrived, Chen Fangyu led Duanwang and others to the water pavilion not long ago. Chen Fangyu saw his sister and greeted her with a smile: "Yue'er, come and say hello to a few highnesses!" ”

Chen Fangyue immediately pulled Yang Yuyan into the door, and after seeing everyone, she smiled at Murong Zhao very affectionately, and said, "I thought that you wouldn't come to Cousin Eleven." ”

Murong Zhao's expression was light, and he said slowly: "Originally, I didn't plan to come, but after the matter was settled, the fifth brother and the seventh brother heard that the old lady had a birthday, so they came together to take a look." ”

When Chen Fangyue heard that it was not Murong Zhao who took the initiative to come, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Murong Shi was very understanding and said, "A few of us happened to be called by our father for questioning, but we didn't expect it to be finished so soon. So when I went out of the palace gate, I came over together. He said this, as if Murong Zhao was also willing to come.

The fifth prince saw Yang Yuyan curling beside Chen Fangyue and didn't speak, and asked with a smile: "I just saw Old Madam Cui and Duchess Yuguo in the flower hall, I heard that the seventh girl is also here, why didn't I come with you?" ”

Chen Fangyue replied with a smile: "Fang Cai is still together, but the seventh girl said that she wanted to see Mu Furong, so she didn't come with us." ”

The implication of this is that Yang Qiqi knew that you were all there, but she was really rude and made an excuse to leave.

The Twelfth Prince Murong Hao smiled and sighed: "October is the time when the hibiscus flowers bloom, it's strange and boring for us to sit here, why don't we go to see the flowers together?" ”

When Chen Fangyue and Yang Yuyan heard this, their expressions were tight, and their hearts were a little unhappy.
