Aunt Cui smiled, and said in a reluctant manner: "Sister, be quiet, be careful to pass into the ears of the master, and it should be sent to my sister." ”

Aunt Gao really hit the trick, glared at Danfeng's eyes, and squeezed out a contemptuous sneer at the corner of her mouth: "Hmph-"

Aunt Cui saw that Aunt Gao was angry, and she was very proud in her heart, shaking a Suzhou embroidered yarn fan, and said half-concealedly: "Sister, don't be angry, it's not worth it." We waited under the sun for a long time, and even the concubines were already seated, and everyone was still holding the posture of a favored concubine. Even the concubine has never been put in his eyes, let alone you and me. People are so late, they want to sit firmly in the chair of the pampered and arrogant concubine, do you and I have the ability? ”

When Aunt Gao heard this, she was so angry that her mouth was crooked, and she pulled a gauze fan from the hand of the little maid behind her, and called the fan at once.

Wanying sat down, and Aunt Zhao beside her took Wanying's hand and said, "My son, I haven't seen you for a few days, is your cough better?"

"Aunt Lao remembered, took a few doses of medicine, and now she is all well." Aunt Zhao has always been close to Aunt Lin, and she has no children or daughters under her knees, so she naturally likes Wanying.

"My son, it's really clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving." Aunt Zhao couldn't help but admire Wanying's simple clothes and accessories, but they were full of freshness.

As he spoke, he only heard a middle-aged woman with extraordinary appearance on the front seat say: "I heard that there are five female sons in your mansion, each of whom is a beautiful woman, known as the five golden flowers, and everyone in the capital knows it, and I don't know if I have a chance to see it today."

"Isn't that what you say, this palace has also heard in the palace that the five young ladies of the Shifu are all stunning beauties." The woman who was sitting on the throne said.

"The concubine is ridiculous, but it's just a little more eye-catching than ordinary people." Mrs. turned to Ruichun and called, "Let her sisters come over and let the mother take a look." ”

Wanying got up, Aunt Gao's Sister Wanyun and Little Sister Wanfen had also gotten up, and Aunt Cui's Sister Wanping also came, but Aunt Li's sister Wanrong was missing, and Aunt Li didn't attend today. I couldn't help but wonder.

"You guys come here." Mrs. raised her chin slightly, and said, "Hurry up and meet Concubine Dong'an." ”

Wanying and the sisters bent slightly, blessed with a blessing, and they all whispered softly: "I have seen the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

The wife's right hand was raised slightly, and she said, "This is Mrs. Wu'anhou." ”

The sisters made another gesture and said in unison: "Mrs. Wan'an." ”

I saw all the women in turn, and saluted and greeted. Suddenly, he said: "Why is there one less of the five young ladies in your mansion?" Shunsheng looked up, the speaker was the princess of Beiping who sat down with Mrs. Wu'anhou, Wanying was secretly shocked in her heart, and had a doubt: This princess of Beiping is a relative of the emperor, and the king of Beiping is the brother of today's saint, how can she sit behind Mrs. Wu'anhou?

Before Mrs. could speak, I saw Aunt Gao on the east seat stand up hurriedly, and said with a charming and smiling face:

"The eldest girl's uncle avoided going because he participated in the Wei commander's salary deduction, and he came over for fear of colliding with Mrs. Feng."

Mrs. Feng is the wife of Feng Xiuyuan, Marquis of Wu'an, who is on the left side of the main seat, and she is also the noble lady who just sat on the throne of Princess Beiping. And the commander of Wei must also be the brother of Mrs. Wu'anhou. Wanying sighed secretly: Poor Sister Wanrong didn't come because of such things, and it is estimated that she listened to Aunt Gao's gossip.

Aunt Gao's voice did not fall, and she was scolded back. "It's actually that this aunt is too worried, the emperor has ordered the impeachment to be investigated, whether it is true or false is not known, if there is really a matter of deduction, the saint has his own judgment. If there is no such thing, but everyone is an official in the same dynasty and cares about the saint, this is one of them; second, he was originally a speech official, and rumors and rumors were also within his responsibility, so how could he say that he would collide; Moreover, you asked her to avoid it, and all the people sitting here today are the relatives of our prominent ministers, and those who know understand that they have avoided us, and those who don't know think that we are oppressing people with power. Mrs. Wu Anhou originally talked and laughed and was very comfortable, but when she heard Aunt Gao's words, she just picked out the secret thorn in her heart, and embarrassed her in front of all the wives, and she couldn't help but lose all interest, and she was very unusual.

After that, a gold silk double-sided embroidered fan was placed heavily on the table, and the white ivory fan handle smashed coldly on the tabletop, just hitting the ceramic tea bowl next to it.

Aunt Gao originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only to curry favor in front of Mrs. Wu'anhou, but also to suppress Aunt Li. Unexpectedly, the sycophant slapped on the tiger's face, and after eating a few heavy words from Mrs. Wu'anhou, her face was red and white, and she stammered:

"Madame, that's not what the slave family meant...... Slave ......"

"It's really a joke, where does my anger come from, when did you see me angry, I know you didn't mean that, but your heart is too exquisite." Mrs. Wu'anhou's nose trembled, but because she thought that today was her father's birthday, and it was the emperor's decree, and her father had a close personal relationship with Wu'anhou, and it depended on the owner to beat the dog. I was afraid that it would disturb the banquet and spread it that it would be inappropriate for everything to go out, but it confirmed the Feng family's evil accusation of oppressive people, so I had to suppress the anger and change my tone tactfully.

Master Shi was originally a subordinate of Wu Anhou, and his wife probably wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with this Mrs. Wu Anhou, but unexpectedly, she killed Cheng Cheng and bit gold halfway, causing these twists and turns out of thin air, lest she would be annoyed by Mrs. Wu'anhou. I was angry.

"Sit down." The wife pressed down the displeasure in her heart and said these three words coldly.

Aunt Gao didn't stand or sit either, and after listening to his wife's words, although she knew that her wife was angry, she had to sit down.

There was silence for a while, Concubine Dong'an was the concubine of the first emperor, what a smart person, it didn't matter to herself, she hung up high, sat upright, and raised her eyes slightly:

"The young lady in the middle is really a stunning beauty, with no flashy clothes, and she looks like a fairy."

The atmosphere eased instantly, and I only heard my wife say: "This is our three girls, named Wanying, fourteen this year." ”

"Come and call Hongu to take a look." The concubine said again.

Wanying bowed her head shyly, and she had no choice but to step forward. The concubine took Wanying's hand, "What a poor person, the appearance of Miss Guan in this palace is a little similar to Huiyi in this palace when she was a child." ”

The lady's face was happy again.

"The concubine praised it falsely, Princess Huiyi's golden branches and jade leaves, how can she be compared to a girl." Aunt Lin heard the concubine's praise in the west seat, and got up to thank her.

Princess Huiyi is the most sacred heart among the twelve princesses of the first emperor, and she is also the most famous. Wanying has heard since she was a child that the seventh princess Huiyi is talented and beautiful. A smile captivates the city, and then a smile captivates the country. But it was also the fame that spread far and wide, and finally married the northern Xinjiang and relatives.

"That's right, I said just now, how can I look at this girl so kindly, and the feelings are really a bit like Princess Huiyi's childhood." Princess Beiping thought that she often went in and out of the inner court and saw Princess Huiyi's jade face, so she said. The rest of the people have not seen it, so they are not allowed to interject.

In front of everyone's eyes, Wanying was embarrassed. I only heard Aunt Lin say: "I've killed her, don't retreat quickly." ”

Concubine Dong'an shook her head, motioned for Aunt Lin to sit down, took Wanying's hand, and looked back and forth on Wanying's face.

"Is it okay for this palace to recognize you as a goddaughter?" Concubine Dong'an said.

This was an unexpected thing, Wanying didn't dare to admit it, so she had to look at Aunt Lin, who was stunned at first and then regained her calm. Aunt Lin didn't make a sound, and Wanying didn't dare to agree.

Wan Ying turned her head slightly, only to see Aunt Gao's little face, her angry nose was crooked, and then she saw that Wan Yun and Wan Fen were both dressed up, and suddenly understood what her mother meant in the morning, and couldn't help but admire her mother's mind. However, the time has come to this, and I can't help myself and my mother.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you kneel down quickly and thank you." The wife originally wanted to take advantage of this banquet to make friends with a few more noble ladies, and when she heard that Concubine Dong'an had this intention, she was ten thousand satisfied.

Aunt Lin saw that the matter had come to this, so she said, "Kneel down and kowtow to the concubine." ”

There has been a maid in front of Wanying put a red satin kneeling cushion, Wanying knelt on her knees, kowtowed three times neatly, and finally the concubine helped Wanying get up, took off the mutton fat white jade bracelet on her hand, and put it on Wanying's hand, just looking at the color of the jade, you know that it is a priceless treasure.

"This is not a rare object, but fortunately, it was given by the first emperor, and you take it with you, and you have the right to meet today, and someone will give you a good one in the palace tomorrow."

Because it is a gift from the king, all eyes are fixed on this thing.

"I'm afraid that this jade bracelet can't find a second one in the world, it can be seen that the concubine really likes this girl." Mrs. Wu Anhou

Looking at Wanying from the side, her eyes are all amiable.

"This thing is very valuable, and the little girl really can't bear it." Wanying is also a young lady of the official eunuch's family, and at a glance she saw that this jade bracelet was by no means an ordinary object as the concubine said, but a rare and beautiful jade, so she hurriedly excused herself.

"It's just an object, the first emperor has gone west, and keeping this thing in the palace is only sad." The concubine's words were slightly sad, but fleeting: "If you give it to you, the gold and jade thing needs to be matched with the person of gold and jade, so as to live up to this thing." The concubine insisted on putting the jade bracelet on Wanying's hand again. Wanying knelt down and bowed three more times.

At this point, the banquet is boring with Aunt Gao and the others. The mother and daughter sat in the seat with brilliant clothes and a lonely expression. Wanying didn't mention it in her heart, but she inadvertently swept over Aunt Lin's face, and the inadvertent sorrow was still in full view.

After the meeting, the concubine pulled Wanying to listen to a few more lively plays next to her, and it was not until the time when everyone dispersed, and the day was finally calm.
