Ning changed his previous gorgeous outfit today, and only wore a lake blue satin with a few flowers and plants. There is a hairpin ring hairpin on her head, which is simple and precious, and she is wearing a flower pot bottom at her feet, which makes her particularly graceful and dignified, and her elegant demeanor is not lost at all. Speaking softly, with a sweet smile but very reserved, she showed a full image of everyone's ladies, and as soon as she appeared in front of everyone, she was well received. Until the bright and touching Wan Ning appeared, she was the focus of attention in the banquet hall.

After Wan Ning appeared, although her smile remained the same, her expression was very gentle, as if she was just not very close to Wan Ning, but she was still a good sister. Only Shu Ning and other sisters, who sat next to her and knew the inside story, noticed the coldness emanating from her. However, Shuning had no intention of getting involved in the dispute between the two daughters again, so she still pretended not to know and talked to Fang Ning, and occasionally chatted with Wan Ning and Yuan Ning.

Seeing that there were more and more female guests in Kua Wanning, and Yuan Ning's cold air was getting heavier and heavier, Shuning couldn't help but look at her a few times, she noticed it, and asked Shuning with a smile: "Third sister, what do you always look at me?" ”

Shuning quickly made an excuse: "It's nothing, I just think that the fourth sister's clothes are strange and beautiful, I don't know who has such good craftsmanship?" ”

Yuan Ning smiled: "This is made by the Xinfengxiang tailor shop outside Zhengyang Gate, their craftsmanship has always been very good, and the third sister will also try it?" ”

Shuning asked with some confusion: "It turned out to be made in the store, but I remember that Caifang didn't make clothes?" Why did the fourth sister find another home instead? ”

"That's long gone, now it's just selling things like rouge head oil skin care lotion." Yuan Ning said nonchalantly. "I can't make much money anyway. Our family doesn't care about the small profit now, if it weren't for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy it, my mother would still want to close the shop. ”

Shuning had heard from her parents that the second uncle Xingbao was now promoted to Langzhong of the Internal Affairs Office, and his title was also promoted to the rank of lieutenant of the light car, if he was not ranked, he could be regarded as an equal with the brothers. The restaurant and tea house business has now taken a back seat, and the second house is now the most profitable industry. It is a few new pawnshops that opened last year. Now the second uncle and his wife both promise to be characters. In addition, Suo Yuluo and Yuan Ning have the opportunity to enter and leave the palace every month. Dressing and acting changed the habits of the nouveau riche in the past, and paid great attention to "identity".

Shuning looked at the second aunt at the next table with the appearance of a dignified lady and did not speak. But Yuan Ning added a few more words: "Does the third sister like my clothes?" That Xin Fengxiang is an old shop, many dignitaries and nobles fall in love with making clothes there, the third sister is going to be drafted next year, or look for it, the old tailor's craftsmanship can be trusted. also knows the rules, and will not make the clothes into a ball of flowers, burying everyone's girlfriend identity. As he spoke, he glanced at Wan Ning.

Wan Ning's face was a little ugly, and she only pretended not to hear it, but the guests had already noticed it, and at this time, Yuan Ning "woke up to what she said wrongly", and hurriedly apologized to her: "I'm really sorry, second sister." I'm not talking about you. Wan Ning's face was even more ugly. It was not easy to suppress her anger, and some of her distorted facial features were restored to their original state, and she put on a smiling face and said, "I didn't hear clearly." What did the fourth sister say? ”

Yuan Ning smiled sweetly: "Second sister didn't hear it, forget it." Then he turned to talk to Shuning. Wan Ning gritted her teeth and continued to chat with the guests, but she didn't notice that someone saw her expression.

Yuan Ning chatted with Shu Ning for a few words, and felt bored, so she ate a side dish. Shuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and inadvertently saw Yan Ning, who was sitting on the other side of Yuanning, frowning delicately, so she asked her what was wrong. Yan Ning whispered: "Third sister, I'm cold." Shuning was silent, then got up and confessed to everyone in the banquet, and took Yan Ning's hand and came out.

As soon as she walked to the secluded place, Yan Ning took a long breath and said, "It's much warmer now, third sister, it's really uncomfortable for me to be in the house just now." Shuning thought to herself: Could it be that children are simple-minded and more likely to detect bad things? She said to Yan Ning, "Do you want to change your clothes?" Let's go find your nurse. Yan Ning nodded, and Shu Ning took her to the place where the maids were on errands to find her nurse, and asked the other party to add a vest to her cousin, and then when they were waiting, she wandered around the neighborhood by herself.

After turning the two rooms, she heard two female guests not far in front of her, who seemed to be a little familiar, and she was going to walk straight over, but she couldn't help but hear the words "Miss Wudan's family", so she quietly hid behind the pillars and listened to what they were saying.

One of the ladies seemed to have a son who had just come of age, and sighed: "My stinky boy said that he would marry a beautiful man, and he pushed him all the good relatives I had chosen before." The general's young lady, although she is a beauty, but there are rumors that the emperor will give her a marriage, most of them are hopeless, and he also goes to the door all day long to inquire when the young lady will return to Beijing, which is really a headache. ”

Another lady persuaded her: "Everyone in Beijing is beautiful, and it is not for nothing that they are stunning, and the two young ladies in the house here are rare beauties." The marriage of the eldest nephew is actually not difficult to solve. ”

Shuning was nervous when she heard this, could it be that she was referring to herself and Wanning? Forget about Wanning, what kind of beauty is she?

The first lady said, "Do you mean the one who wears red and the one who wears the blue ground?" The earth is indeed a beauty, and the one who wears red is even more stunning, but I heard that she hasn't drafted yet, but I'm afraid my son won't be that blessed. ”

Another said: "What are you afraid of, the second girl is not young, I don't know if she will be elected next year." If you don't choose, wouldn't it be good? ”

The first lady gave a long "um" and said nothing, and the two began to gossip.

Shuning quietly left in a cold sweat and returned the same way, only to breathe a sigh of relief when she couldn't see them. It seems that there are so many suitors on Sister Zhenzhen's side, I don't know how many children of the official family will regard the elder brother as a thorn in the side after the marriage will be granted?

She was thinking wildly, and she was surprised by a heavy tap on the shoulder from behind, and she turned to see that it was the treasure key.

The key blinked wide-eyed and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here alone?" Why don't you go into the house? Shuning said: "My fifth sister is a little chilled, I took her out to find a nurse, and now I am waiting for her." What are you doing here? The treasure key said: "Come out to breathe, there is no one who can come to the banquet today." It's unfamiliar, and my cousin didn't come. ”

Shuning hurriedly asked Xinran about her current situation. Since she happily got married, she has only seen each other once at Fucha's house, and she usually only communicates occasionally, so it seems that she should be doing well.

The key pursed his lips and smiled, "You don't know yet, do you?" My cousin has a baby and is now raising a baby at home. ”

Shuning couldn't help but feel happy for Xinran, and hurriedly said, "How is she now?" I'll go to see her in a few days, but I'm afraid that the gate of the palace will not be easy to enter. The key said, "Don't worry about this. She now lives in the same house where she was married. I moved here two months ago. ”

It turned out that he happily married into the former Huijun Palace. Although she was respected because of her rich dowry, noble birth and upright character, the people of the palace did not give her much anger. However, Nafu has a large population and is a little cramped in terms of economy, so it is inevitable that there will be some things that are not read in full by the medical canon. Xinran didn't take it to heart, just to be a good wife with peace of mind, but Yitai didn't want to go. Plus the husband and wife. Together with those who originally served Itai

As soon as Shitai confirmed that his wife was pregnant, he immediately sent someone to tidy up the idle small house, and told his parents that there was no place to live after the birth of his child, and his younger brother was about to marry a wife, and the house at home was not enough. Willing to move out and vacate the house for his younger brother. Parents nodded. He took his wife and servants and moved directly into the mansion. Now he is happy to be in charge of his own house, and his life is not happy.

After hearing this, Shuning smiled and said, "This is a good thing, why don't you tell me?" From now on, it will be convenient for me to go there. In Maojiawan, right? It's right next to Prince Zhuang's mansion. It's not far from here. ”

Bao Key said: "It's good that you can go over, Yitai's cousin-in-law has to go to the palace on an errand on weekdays, and my cousin is boring alone." ”

Shuning immediately inquired about the specific address, and planned to see Xinran another day. At this time, Yan Ning came back with the nurse, and she introduced to the treasure key: "Sister, this is my fifth sister Yan Ning. Yan Ning gave the key a proper salute, but the key twisted her little face and said with a smile: "You are so smart at a young age, like a little adult, you sisters are really similar." ”

Yan Ning was already a little stupid when she was raided, Shu Ning hurriedly pulled her away and said, "My sister is still young, don't scare her." Then he touched Yan Ning's little face, coaxed her to laugh again, and the three of them returned to the hall.

At this time, the atmosphere on the table was a little bad. I don't know what Wan Ning and Yuan Ning said to each other, the two were staring at each other, and a few people had already noticed that something was wrong here. Fang Ning tried very hard to play the round, and when she saw Shuning Yanning coming back, she hurriedly greeted: "Where did the two sisters go, why are they only coming back now?" But what's wrong with the fifth sister? Then he secretly glanced at Shuning.

Shuning received the signal and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the fifth sister is a little cold, I'll take her down to wear more clothes." After sending Yan Ning back to her seat, she pretended not to know anything and asked Yuan Ning to take care of her little cousin.

Yuan Ning responded with a straight face, and Wan Ning, who was sitting opposite, was about to say a few sarcastic words, but Fang Ning pulled her sleeves and endured it. As Fang Ning, Shuning and Su Su pulled and fought, the tense atmosphere gradually disappeared.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Nala whispered a few words to him, and the latter ordered the feast to begin. I saw a group of girls dressed in neat light green silk rushing in, putting plates of delicacies on each table. These girls are all carefully selected, with slender figures, delicate and pleasing appearances, and chic hairstyles, and their faces are carefully rubbed with fat powder, as if they are all packaged as beauties.

As all kinds of northern and southern delicacies were delivered one by one, everyone feasted on the dishes and praised the exquisite dishes and the girls were also excellent. There was a light on Nala's face, and he just pursed his lips and smiled, and he was a little proud in his heart.

But there are always surprises. There was a hot soup in the dish, and there was a mistake when it was served, and the person who served the soup to Shuning seemed to be a novice, and his hand trembled, and he spilled a few drops of soup on Yuan Ning's clothes. The girl at the end of the soup was so frightened that she kept trembling, and she only knew how to say, "Four...... The fourth girl ......" Yuan Ning had a dark face, almost scolding, but fortunately she still remembered to pay attention to her own image, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and said lightly: "That's it, be careful in the future." ”

The girl froze, she didn't expect to pass the test like this, Fang Ning reprimanded in a low voice: "Thank you for the fourth girl yet." She hurriedly thanked her, and then brought soup to Yan Ning with a trembling leisurely manner, and hurried down.

The banquet has been peaceful. All the girls and ladies ate the dishes gently, and even if there were a few vulgar movements, they were also influenced by the people around them. However, the banquet is not as good as the daily meal, and there are always people talking about some dishes and wine, and the sound of squeaking comes and goes.

In the midst of the buzz, Shuning ate eighty percent of her fill and put down the bowl. I thought there would be no more accidents, but I didn't expect that when I removed the fruit plate on the plate, the girl who sprinkled the soup made a mistake again, this time the glass carved plate containing the fruit was broken, and it fell into several large pieces, and the fruit was scattered all over the ground.

The girl was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, crying incessantly, the fat powder was all pasted, and her hair was messy. Shuning's heart sank, and when she looked at her aunt's face, she knew that she must be very angry in her heart. At this time, the girl begged for mercy on the spot, which would only make things big and lose face to the master's family.

Seeing that no one was cooking, she immediately got up and walked to the girl, and whispered, "Why did you break things so carelessly?" Don't hurry up and get the pieces out. Then he looked up and said to the daughter-in-law outside the door, "Hurry up and clean up the ground, and don't let the guests laugh." ”

One of the daughters-in-law knew that Shuning was powerful, so she responded at that time, and quickly cleaned up the ground with a broom, but the girl only picked up two pieces of glass, and was dragged out by the others.

Fang Ning and Li walked up to Nala early and apologized to her. Seeing this, Shuning also followed the past to listen to the training. Seeing that the scene was round, Nala just sighed and said, "Forget it, you are young, and mistakes are inevitable, so make amends to the guests." Shuning and the other three saluted around, and the female guests said that it didn't matter, and they returned to the table.

The matter finally passed safely, but a few guests praised the girls in the house for being good, and the Nala clan smiled and humbled a few words. Shuning looked at it from afar, feeling that her mother was actually very proud, and couldn't help but secretly complain, she didn't want to be in the limelight.

It's easy to get out of the table and send all the guests away, it's already afternoon. Before Shuning could take a breath, she was busy watching people clean up things, wiping vases, screens, antiques, expensive tables and chairs and other things and re-entering the warehouse.

She dragged her heavy footsteps towards Huaiyuan, and happened to see a few mothers-in-law sending curtains and curtains and other things to be dismantled and washed, and whispered that the girl sent by the second girl to count was arrogant. She couldn't help but sigh for the leisurely nature of others.

Frangipani had already prepared hot water as she had instructed. Shuning took a comfortable bath, lay down on the bench and stretched, thinking carefully, after today, the most important thing is the recovery of her father and her brother's entry and marriage, as for the draft, the family has already planned, so there is no need to worry. In addition, a few friends can also go there for a visit. Xinran's house is a must-go, and in the letter sent by Zhou Yinlan before, it seems that the Fan family has strict rules, and the female relatives rarely have the opportunity to go out, so it seems that they still have to come to visit. In addition, Zhenzhen doesn't know when she will come back, and it seems that she will be able to meet her a few times before the marriage is made public.

She was thinking crankily and a little drowsy. I don't know how long it took, a little girl came to wake her up and said that she would let her go.

When she arrived at the main room, she saw that her mother looked tired, so she went up to help her massage. While enjoying his daughter's services, he commanded, "Go to bed early tonight, and tomorrow, our family will go to see your grandfather and grandmother." ”
