Sanniang bowed her head when she heard this and replied, "Yes, grandmother, Sanniang knows." ”

The old princess nodded in satisfaction.

Yao Yuerong thought for a while and said, "Princess, will Cousin Huilan go with us then?" ”

The old princess frowned when she heard this.

After Mrs. Ye and Miss Ye went back last time, the old princess asked Sanniang to pick a generous gift and send it over, which was regarded as an atonement, and then Mrs. Ye also asked people to send a return gift. originally thought that this matter would be revealed like this, but I didn't want Mrs. Ye to hear from her side, let alone send a matchmaker to the door.

The old princess pondered in her heart, and said to Sanniang: "When the time comes, you can also take Huilan with you." "If the Ye family's family affair can't be concluded, it will be good for Huilan to see more people now, the old princess believes that the current Huilan is much stronger than before, and it is good to show her face more.

Sanniang bowed her head again.

Although the Ye family also gave a return gift after she asked her to give a gift last time, she sent someone to inquire, and Miss Ye has been locked in the room since she went back, and Mrs. Ye is very anxious. The Ye family has an excellent tutor on weekdays, presumably the events of that day made her muttered in her heart, but it was just difficult to say it because of her feelings.

Sanniang was very speechless about the county lord of Huilan who wanted to sabotage her marriage so much, in her opinion, a person like the Ye family and a character like the son of the Ye family were very rare in ancient times. It's a pity that some people have too high a vision and don't know how to cherish it.

After Sanniang and Yao Yuerong came out of the old princess, Yao Yuerong smiled and said to Sanniang: "Sister-in-law, Yuerong wants to go to Huilan to sit down." Tell her about going to Prince Li's Mansion the day after tomorrow, do you want your eldest cousin to go over and sit with Yuerong? ”

Yao Yuerong's expression was very open, and her tone was also very sincere, which made Sanniang decide to suspect that this girl had something unsavory with Huilan secretly, which was simply a heinous thing.

Sanniang smiled back at her. Shaking his head, he said, "I still have some family matters to deal with, so I won't go with you." Think together about the clothes and jewelry you wore that day, and if anything, you lacked. Just let people go to me. ”

Yao Yuerong nodded understandingly, and said: "This time I entered Beijing, my grandmother and mother prepared some clothes, jewelry and head for Yuerong, and my eldest cousin didn't have to worry about this." ”

Sanniang nodded and left with the maids.

Yao Yuerong first went back to her yard and picked out some jewelry and clothes. Let them take it and go to Whelan.

The county lord of Huilan hadn't seen Yao Yuerong for a few days, thinking that she was deliberately trying to avoid herself, and she was angry. And because Mama Shen has been staring, she also arranges a lot of homework for her every day, so that she has no time to go out of the yard.

Seeing Yao Yuerong suddenly appear today, he said, "I thought you wouldn't come again." She looked at her. Busy with a dignified smile again, "Cousin is joking, that is, my cousin will not come for a few days, and I am a little worried about you." ”

Yao Yuerong hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Huilan and said, "Yuerong has some things that I can't think about recently, so ...... But now Yuerong has figured it out. By the way, the day after tomorrow, the princess's stove party, is my cousin ready? ”

Whelan was stunned: "Will the stove be?" I haven't heard of it. ”

Yao Yuerong smiled at her: "Don't worry, Yuerong has already married the princess, and I want my cousin to go with me." Cousin. Can you help me see which of these clothes is the most suitable? Saying that, the maid asked the maid to bring a set of garnet red satin folded hibiscus embroidered long jackets, light apricot pleated skirts, a set of hibiscus background, bamboo leaf pattern trimming, light gold satin chrysanthemum cross-collar, right long jacket, and silver-white satin horse noodles to show the county lord of Whelan County.

Whelan's eyes lit up when he saw that he could also go out. I wanted to thank Yao Yuerong for helping. But seeing that she had something to ask her to help, she felt that Yao Yuerong should help her.

She looked at Yao Yuerong's outfit and pursed her lips. In her heart, except for the young ladies who are at the forefront of fashion trends in Beijing, the clothes worn by women from other places are all dirty. She didn't look at the two pieces that Yao Yuerong brought, and directly pulled Yao Yuerong to the box where she put her clothes, and said, "Don't wear the ones you brought, you should wear my previous clothes properly, this box is new, you can pick one at will." "He looks very generous.

Whelan thought to herself, after encircling you, it is better to ask you to help in the future.

Yao Yuerong glanced at the box of clothes and was very happy: "Cousin, these are all very good-looking, really let me pick them at will?" ”

Huilan smiled, took Yao Yuerong's hand and said, "You and I are sisters, what are these?" If you like it, you can take it all. "Anyway, she can't wear it now, and when she loses weight that day, there will be other popular styles and colors in Beijing.

Yao Yuerong smiled at Whelan, and really unceremoniously picked out two colors to festively come out, although the embroidery is not outstanding compared to her own two, but the color and style are indeed popular styles in Beijing this year.

Seeing that Yao Yuerong was successfully bought by herself, Huilan was very proud in her heart, and said: "Although your jewelry is in good condition, it is not a fashionable style in Beijing, I will lend you a few sets of heads and jewelry at that time." These you brought, tomorrow find someone to go to the Duobao Building in Beijing, and after dissolving, re-play according to the style of my jewelry. ”

Yao Yuerong nodded busily: "Thank you cousin for teaching Yuerong this, in the future, you should mention Yuerong more, don't let Yuerong lose face in front of everyone." ”

Whelan smiled and said meaningfully: "This is natural, I don't help you, who will help you." With her back to Mama Shen, she quietly approached Yao Yuerong's ear and said softly, "I said, we are in the same boat." ”

Yao Yuerong's smile froze, hesitated, and finally bit her lip and nodded.

Huilan Dayue, when Mama Shen looked at her suspiciously, hurriedly moved her body away.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

When Xuan Shao came back in the evening, he said that he had entrusted the matter to Xuan Yun. Thinking of Xuan Yun's shocked expression when he heard this, and the excitement that followed, Xuan Shao shook his head.

When the two read a book together. Xuan Shao casually mentioned that the emperor intended to open one or two coasts, and loosened the sea ban a little, but the merchants who went to sea were to be limited to a certain range, and obtained the permission of the imperial court.

"As soon as the news came out. Presumably, there are more businessmen looking around. I don't know who the emperor sent this fat difference? ”

Xuan Shao glanced at Sanniang: "Prince Li, your uncle and grandfather, Lord Zhou of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy." ”

Sanniang smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Xuan Shao said again: "I will also assist from the side." ”

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then quipped: "Xianggong, this is a fat difference, can we make a lot of silver?" "Since the number of places is limited, these officials in charge of qualification review can naturally take the opportunity to salvage.

Xuan Shao flicked Sanniang's finger: "What do you say?" ”

Sanniang glanced at Xuan Shao.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the hearth party of the princess and princess.

Sanniang wore an apricot yellow collared goose yellow bottom cluster print collared short jacket, apricot yellow horse face group. Jin Yu Xiao eight pieces of two-pressure skirts, on the head is a set of tortoiseshell head face given to her by the old princess, as well as jewelry of similar style. Dignified atmosphere and lively.

Yao Yuerong, who arrived first, wore a Hunan concubine-colored colorful peony flower embroidered collared short jacket, a light pink folded long skirt, and a complete set of red gold inlaid with gems on her head. Sanniang remembered that this dress seemed to have been made by Whelan before. Jewelry is also seen to be worn by Whelan once.

The old princess was facing Yao Yuerong and said, "...... Whelan and you are really in love, and this dress and jewelry still fit. If you like this style, ask your cousin to make you a few more in the future. ”

Yao Yuerong blushed: "Cousin Huilan said that she has a few new clothes that are not on her body, and she wants me to wear them...... In fact, my eldest cousin-in-law asked me, but Yuerong said that there was no need to prepare. ”

Sanniang smiled and didn't say anything.

After that, Whelan also came, and she wore a short jacket embroidered with a light purple satin embroidered pattern of spring flowers, and a long white embroidered dress. I have to say that this county master is not very good, and he is still quite good at dressing up. White and chubby rich appearance. looks at the skin like clotted fat, crystal clear, and can be regarded as a fat beauty.

The old princess nodded: "You two get in the car first, I still have something to explain to Sanniang." ”

Huilan and Yao Yuerong walked away hand in hand very closely.

The old princess said to Sanniang: "Although Huilan's clothes and jewelry are also new, it is not good to wear them for Yuerong after all, so you should worry more about it in the future." The child's parents were not around. The only one who can rely on us is to take care of some if you can take care of it, and she will remember your love in the future. ”

Sanniang didn't defend anything, nodded and said, "It's the granddaughter-in-law who was negligent, and the granddaughter-in-law should ask Yuerong's cousin a few more times." Next time, no matter what she says, I'll prepare some for her, so that she won't be able to wipe her face. ”

The old princess nodded: "I know you must have asked her, but young girls always want to be faced." But Huilan, this girl, has really changed her temperament, and she is really in love with Yuerong. That's fine, she always liked to mix with Hui'an in the past, and her temperament was getting more and more jumpy, so she still had to stay with a child like Yuerong more in the future. ”

Sanniang smiled and withdrew.

Yao Yuerong rode with Huilan, and Sanniang had her own carriage.

"Did you just go and explain to the people around them?" Sanniang asked Bai Yingdao.

Bai Ying nodded: "The slave maid has already told Mama Shen under your instructions, and the two maids have also explained." They must stay by the county lord and Miss Yao for a moment. ”

Sanniang nodded and said no more.

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************

The carriage galloped all the way, fortunately, the roads in the city were quite smooth, and it had been so long since I came to ancient times, and the three years of my mother's ability to bear the carriage had made a qualitative leap.

It was still early when I arrived at Prince Li's palace. So there were only a few carriages outside, and it wasn't too crowded. This is also the reason why Sanniang always tries to arrive early within a certain range when she goes out to attend a banquet.

Because sometimes when the host has a lot of guests, it is a question of where the carriage is parked, even if there is a place where the carriage is parked. It also needs to be tossed and turned. In particular, the houses of some officials in Beijing are not large, so it is even more troublesome to park the carriage. It is no less painful than later generations looking for a parking space during rush hour.

However, there were some who came earlier than Sanniang and his party, when they brought Huilan and Yao Yuerong into the main hall. Princess Li is surrounded by several ladies and young ladies, and she should be more friends on weekdays.

Among them are Mrs. Wei and Wei Yunying.

Seeing Wei Yunying's stunned gaze fixed on Yao Yuerong's face, Sanniang could only sigh. This girl still hasn't given up.

In fact, there are a lot of ladies and ladies who have set their eyes on Yao Yuerong, and basically these people who came early came to see her.

Prince Li saw that Yao Yuerong was in a very good mood, and when she saw her dignified posture, she offered the birthday gift she had prepared. The crow's feet of laughter all appeared.

"Sit down, let's talk." Princess Li pointed to the seat on the side.

Seeing that the attention of a room full of people was on her, Yao Yuerong was not panicked, and sat down behind Sanniang generously.

A young lady sighed, "Is that the county lord of Whelan?" ”

Whelan looked up. smiled and nodded at the young lady who recognized her, but she also looked gentle, but it startled the young lady who had played with her before.

"Is it really the county lord?" Someone is whispering.

Although Huilan was a little dissatisfied at first, Yao Yuerong stole the limelight as soon as she came in, and she regretted that she shouldn't have dressed her so conspicuously, but after people noticed her, she was not very happy.

Because the first thing people notice is not her gentle temperament, but her round and chubby figure. The county lord of Whelan was actually a little annoyed by this. Although the Queen Mother and Princess all said that she was so good-looking, when she looked in the mirror herself, she felt that this was too stupid.

"Why are you so fat all of a sudden? You look at her belly, it's several layers when she sits down. Someone whispered.

"It's been months. I'm afraid I'm hiding and eating, right? ”

The county lord of Huilan successfully diverted everyone's attention from Yao Yuerong.

The county lord of Whelan had a bruised face with bruises, but he still gritted his teeth and held back, remembering the few women who talked about her fiercely in his heart.

However, the older ones thought that Whelan was very good, and they also looked at her a few more times.

Fortunately, there are still people who are only interested in Yao Yuerong: "I have heard for a long time that Miss Yao is beautiful and talented, and she is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”

The one who spoke was a very beautiful one. The girl who is also very plump seems to be a concubine in the family of a third-grade official.

It's just that her words make people feel a little exaggerated when they hear it, Yao Yuerong's appearance is at most delicate and pleasing to the eye, and it is really too good to say that she is beautiful and beautiful. And Yao Yuerong, who has never shown her talent or something, doesn't know where to start. So although this is a compliment, it is not the same thing to the ears of people.

Yao Yuerong nodded at her and smiled lightly: "This sister's praise makes Yuerong feel ashamed, Yuerong knows that she is the posture of Puliu, and her sister is the beauty of the country." It's just a talent, although Yuerong has indeed learned some, it's just some skin. I always heard that the ladies in the capital are all talented, and they are all taught by famous teachers, and Yuerong dare not compare. ”

She spoke softly, although she was self-deprecating, her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant. Prince and Princess Li became more and more satisfied, and the other ladies couldn't help but nod secretly.

The beautiful young lady rolled her eyes, covered her mouth and smiled: "I just saw Miss Yao present a congratulatory gift to the princess, so that we are ashamed to come empty-handed, and we will definitely make up for it in the future." I don't know what Miss Yao just gave to the princess? Speaking out, it also makes us know the bottom of our hearts? ”

Although these words were a bit rude, they made several young ladies echo them.

Sanniang looked at them as if she was deliberately embarrassing Yao Yuerong, and couldn't help but guess, these little girls are not all brainless fans of the Xuanyun family, right?

Yao Yuerong bowed his head and said: "The gift is focused on the heart, and what Yuerong gave to the princess was a small kang screen embroidered by herself." ”

Prince Li smiled and said, "Well, it's really important." ”

I don't know who it is: "Then let's witness Miss Yao's embroidery?" Someone like Miss Yao must be very good at embroidery. Let's see that too. ”

Yao Yuerong was a little embarrassed: "The gift has been given to the princess, and Yuerong is afraid that she will not be able to make the decision." If the sisters want to see it, they will find a chance to show it to the sisters in the future. ”

The beautiful young lady looked at the princess unrelentingly, and said in a semi-coquettish tone: "Princess." Let's see, shall we? Miss Yao herself is willing. ”

"This ......" Princess Li hesitated a little.

The young lady's mother-in-law saw that the well-behaved concubine talked too much today, and she couldn't care about pretending to be a loving mother in front of everyone, so she reprimanded in a low voice: "Qi Niang." Don't be unreasonable. ”

The young lady didn't dare to squeak anymore, but the eyes of the other people in the hall were actually a little curious. They came so early to understand the situation of this future princess in an all-round way.

Prince Li and Princess Li naturally knew everyone's thoughts, and she actually hoped that Yao Yuerong could make some efforts to earn some face for herself and the palace. After all, over the years, when it comes to Prince Li's Mansion, there have been some bad comments.

Prince Li glanced at Yao Yuerong, and saw that she was not panicked at all, and her face was calm. guessed that her embroidery should be quite good, so she nodded and asked the grandmother behind her to take out the congratulatory gift that Yao Yuerong had just sent for everyone to see.

Sanniang decided that these girls' plans to make Yao Yuerong lose face were afraid that they would fail, although she had not seen what Yao Yuerong gave to Princess Li, but if it was embroidery, in terms of what she saw last time. Yao Yuerong's embroidery is still very good.

However, when the grandmother beside the princess opened the gift box, Sanniang was also a little surprised, she didn't expect that this good evaluation was actually very subtle.

What Yao Yuerong sent was a very small four-fan kang screen, embroidered with four scenes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it was actually embroidered on both sides.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, and their eyes were different when they looked at Yao Yuerong. Princess Li's mouth couldn't close when she smiled, and said to Yao Yuerong: "You embroidered this by yourself?" "This is knowingly asked.

Yao Yuerong nodded and said: "It's also a picture drawn by Yuerong herself, the painting is not good, it makes you smile." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled, "Miss Yao is too modest. What's wrong with this painter? It's just an embroidery, but it's still a bend. ”

The rest of the ladies also nodded yes, and some people asked Yao Yuerong to help draw embroidery patterns half-truthfully. Yao Yuerong responded with a smile.

Wei Yunying had been watching silently from the side, without saying a word, and his eyes were already very dim at this time.

In all fairness, Yao Yuerong's performance is indeed very good. Speak gently and modestly. The attitude is humble and reasonable, and he is full of embroidery skills. Ladies are the best men to choose a wife for their sons.

After a few studies, the girls who originally wanted to embarrass Yao Yuerong were all depressed and died down. I have to admit the gap between myself and Yao Yuerong.

Sanniang has been secretly observing on the side, looking at Yao Yuerong's appearance of working so hard, does she really want to join Prince Li's Mansion?

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The ladies and ladies got the conclusion they wanted, and they were no longer embarrassed Yao Yuerong, and the princess asked the ladies to go to the side hall to drink tea, and said that they had prepared a few warm pavilions in the plum forest next to their yard, and the ladies who wanted to go out for a walk could move over.

The so-called warm pavilion is to enclose the pavilion with translucent cellophane, and the stove is actually burned under the warm pavilion. Winter is warm and bright, and it is a necessary place for a stove party, but not everyone can open it.

This cellophane is very precious, every inch of paper is golden. The stove buried under the pavilion also requires some skill. Otherwise, if you burn charcoal, you will be poisoned by gas in such an airtight place.

Last time, I also saw a large-scale warm pavilion in Sun's house, but that time Sun's family didn't use cellophane.

Sanniang actually doesn't like that kind of airtight place very much, although she knows that it should be safe, Sanniang is still worried about gas poisoning.

So she chose to go to the side hall. Yao Yuerong and the county lord of Huilan also followed her to the side hall.

After a while, Wei Yunying came over, and Sanniang actually deliberately didn't want her to come over just now, because she knew that she would be sad to see Yao Yuerong.

"Sister Ake." Wei Yunying called in a low voice, but her eyes always glanced at Yao Yuerong's side.

Sanniang understood Wei Yunying's desire to get close to the enemy. Many people also like to find abuse on their own.

Sanniang introduced Wei Yunying to Yao Yuerong, Yao Yuerong glanced at Wei Yunying thoughtfully, and shouted Miss Wei with a very decent smile.

Wei Yunying also lowered her head and called Miss Yao. After that, there were no more words.

The county lord of Huilan and Yao Yuerong were talking on the side. Sanniang pulled Wei Yunying to the seat beside her. After a while, Mrs. Wei also came over, probably to find Wei Yunying.

Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wei Yunying and Sanniang sitting together: "Yunying, Miss Li just invited you to the garden outside, do you want to go and have a look?" ”

This kind of thing naturally doesn't need Mrs. Wei to come over in person, she actually wants to find an excuse to take Wei Yunying away.

Wei Yunying shook her head: "I'm with Sister Ake." ”

Mrs. Wei was helpless and could only look at Sanniang. Sanniang nodded and smiled: "Just let her be with me." ”

Mrs. Wei was very relieved to Sanniang and nodded. Or go back.

The county lord of Huilan said: "Cousin Yuerong hasn't seen the hearth in Beijing yet, right?" I'll take you outside to take a look, what's there to see in this house? As he spoke, he glanced at Sanniang.

Because when she came out, the old princess repeatedly told Yao Yuerong and the county lord of Huilan to listen to Sanniang's words. The county lord of Huilan is now smart, and he will definitely not publicly refute Sanniang's words head-on. Mama Shen was still staring behind her.

Sanniang wanted to groan, and a fiery figure walked over. First glanced at Yao Yuerong's face a few times, and then said to Huilan: "I haven't seen you go out for a long time, why didn't you come and look for me?" ”

It was the county lord of Hui'an who came.

Sanniang saluted Hui An, and Hui An only nodded lightly, looking like she didn't want to deal with it. Sanniang is not bored.

Before the county lord of Huilan could reply, Hui'an laughed out loud: "Why do you look like this?" I thought you were sick. Who is sick to give birth to such a rich appearance of you. ”

The county lord of Whelan blushed, but he didn't say much, and he passed by.

"Let's go, we've come up with a couple of fun new ideas. I'm waiting for you. "Maybe it's because I haven't seen each other for a long time, the county lord of Hui'an is very enthusiastic about Huilan, and the two used to play together.

The county lord of Huilan introduced Yao Yuerong to Hui An, and Hui An just nodded, she has always disliked this kind of woman with a dull and quiet temperament, just like she has always disliked Sanniang and Wang Zheng. But for the sake of the face of the county lord of Whelan. She still said, "Come along." ”

Seeing that Hui'an had spoken, the county lord of Huilan knew that Sanniang would definitely not be able to say anything, because although the county lord of Hui'an was about the same age as them, he was actually their elder. He didn't ask Sanniang anymore, pulled Yao Yuerong and stood up.

Sanniang is not good at stopping the master and elders of Hui'an County. He glanced at Mama Shen.

Mama Shen followed.

The county lord of Hui'an turned his head and frowned, "What are you doing here?" Did the master let you come? As he spoke, he glanced at Sanniang.

Sanniang said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't know, this Mama Shen is the grandmother next to the queen mother in the palace, and the princess specially asked for it." Before going out today, I also instructed that Mama Shen must follow the county lord for a moment. This is also a caring heart of the elders, and I hope the county lord can understand. ”

Hui An saw that Sanniang had moved out the Queen Mother and Princess Zhuang, so she didn't say anything and didn't care about Mama Shen anymore.

Sanniang looked around, but she didn't see Wang Zheng, and she couldn't help but be a little bored. Thinking about it, let's go to the garden outside with Wei Yunying, Bai Lan can't leave his side, he just needs to be closer to Huilan and Yao Yuerong, and there are things to deal with.

And the county lord of Huilan and Yao Yuerong followed the county lord of Hui'an out before they walked into the garden, they were stopped.

It was a little girl who came, saying that the princess invited Yao Yuerong to come over and had something to tell her.

Although Yao Yuerong was a little surprised, she still nodded in response.

Mama Shen looked at Yao Yuerong and then at the county lord of Hui'an, and finally decided to follow the county lord of Huilan. After all, that's her job.
