They are all orthodox-educated ladies in Beijing, and there is no interest involved in the occasion of such a party, so they usually do not choose people by identity, on the contrary, sometimes in order to show their family style and upbringing, they will be more cordial and easy-going to the other party with low grades. Xie Wan has been a female teacher for more than ten years, although she has not stayed in the house of the powerful, but she can see and hear a lot, and she knows their habits well.

So he saluted everyone first, and then said with a smile: "I also heard that the girls are gathered here, so I want to come to see your demeanor, I hope it doesn't disturb the distinguished guests." ”

Shen Mei walked out first and said with a smile: "Seeing that my sister is generous, she must also be a person who has studied since childhood." We're playing chess, let's do it together. ”

Qi Yao saw that they were already sitting here, so she smiled and said goodbye to greet other female guests.

Just after leaving the hall, I saw Grandma He walking towards this side, Qi Yao hurriedly stopped and said, "Isn't the sister-in-law entertaining the young ladies of the various provinces in front?" Why did you come in again? ”

Grandma He said with a smile: "Mrs. He was entrusted by Mrs. Feng Zhi and Mrs. Qi to find a good family for Miss Wan. So when Mrs. Fang Cai heard that Miss Wan was coming, she thought of taking her out to meet these ladies and grandmothers, and when she heard that her sister had brought her to the backyard, she asked me to invite her. - Where is Miss Wan? ”

Qi Yao said with a smile: "It turned out that it was for this, in the backyard, just let the maid go and invite it." ”

As soon as Xie Wan sat down to watch the game of chess, a maid came to ask Grandma He to ask her to see Mrs. Wei, and she understood what was going on, so she had to say goodbye to Shen Mei and the others. Together with Grandma He, I went to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Wei.

In addition to the heavyweight Duchess Protector and several old ladies who came today. There are also several noble ladies including Mrs. Rong Enbo and Mrs. Guang Enbo, as well as the wives of many ministers of the second and third grades.

When they arrived at the porch, there was already a warm conversation in the room, and Grandma He asked her to go in to make an announcement, and then Mrs. Wei walked out. After coming out, he first looked at Xie Wan in amazement, and then thought for a while, and then said to Grandma He: "You take Miss Wan to the back garden for a walk first, many of the ladies are resting over there, and when you meet someone who is familiar, go over and salute." ”

Grandma He nodded and took Xie Wan to the garden.

Here, Mrs. Wei looked at Xie Wan's back. He sighed a little regretfully. Then he turned around and went back to the house. Such a beautiful girl, why is there no fate with their family Wei Xianam?

Old Madam Huo, who was sitting at the top, looked at her and said with a smile: "Why don't I remember that Wei Ge Lao still has a niece waiting to say goodbye?" ”

Wei Bin has only one younger brother, and his younger brother's daughter has long been his own son.

Mrs. Wei smiled: "It's a niece who has known her for many years. It used to be a great help to us. She said briefly. Although the matter of Wei Xian and Xie Wei is now known to the world. But in the end, it's not appropriate to drag Xie Wan into it. She looked at the old ladies with a smile. smiled again: "It's a very smart and virtuous girl, and she was always raised in the boudoir, so now the family affairs have not been decided." I asked our grandmother to take her up to the back garden. ”

Old Madam Huo smiled and said to Old Madam Shen: "The eldest girl has reached the age. It is precisely because you should have more social interactions, otherwise you will obviously raise the girls like gold and jade, but people don't know, isn't it equivalent to a night walk in brocade? ”

Old Madam Shen is over sixty years old, more than ten years older than Old Madam Huo, but in front of the other party, there is no arrogance in her demeanor, and when she heard this, she echoed with a smile: "What the old lady said is true." A few days ago, I heard that the old lady was also discussing marriage for Yin Gongzi, I don't know if there is a suitable one? ”

Now that the two Miss Sun of the Shen family are engaged, there is no need to avoid suspicion when asking this. When the rest of the ladies heard this, they all smiled on their faces, but in private they couldn't help but listen with their ears up.

Mrs. Huo put this matter aside since she beat Yin Yu and told the Protector that he had chosen someone in his heart, after all, after thinking about it, what the old man said was right, they are not qualified to interfere in this matter, if they forcibly intervene, they are afraid that it will backfire, Yin Yu is not a child who is easy to handle, and she can't handle it now.

And it was only at that time that she suddenly woke up to how inappropriate it was to recruit relatives for Yin Yu with such fanfare, although Yin Yu was abolished, but in fact he was a member of the Yin family, which would not fundamentally change, if there was no nod from the crown princess, she would have come forward to propose marriage like this, just not to give the Yin family face. If the emperor and the crown prince don't say it on their faces, won't they have thoughts in their hearts?

So Princess Ruyang came over with the name card again, and she said that she would consider it first.

Now that she heard Old Madam Shen ask like this, she smiled and said, "You have to ask the opinion of the crown princess, after all, she is a mother." ”

Old Madam Shen smiled and nodded: "This is also true." ”

The ears erected next to him also fell down.

Old Madam Huo saw it in her eyes and didn't care. There are many people who want to get close to Yin Yu, although he has lost power, but in the eyes of many people, he is still a sweetheart. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be a little curious, who did Yin Yu fancie? Is it the lady of the powerful minister's family here? Or is it the daughter of the power class of the DPRK and China?

Xie Wan followed Grandma He into the back garden, because although it was September, the sun still couldn't stand it, so the women and guests were all sitting in the water pavilion or pavilion in the back garden to eat tea, or play cards and chat. The two young grandmothers of the Wei Mansion are both good at housekeeping, and they are taking care of everyone at this time.

Grandma He brought Xie Wan in, and first went to greet several ladies who had met several times before, and it happened that Mrs. Jin and Jin Ting also arrived, so several people sat together and chatted.

The wife of the prince of the Protectorate Mansion Yang also sat at a table playing cards with the two ladies Rong Enbo and Yongqingbo at this time. This kind of occasion turned out to be nothing to do with other noble ladies, but Mrs. Rong Enbo's niece and Wei Bin's younger siblings are cousins, and they are actually related.

And Wang Wei, the second son of Mrs. Yongqingbo, has now also embarked on the road of entering the imperial examination, and he is actually the eldest son of Wei Bin, the husband of Grandma He, Wei Zhu, who will take the same subject, and they have both studied in Guozijian, rushing to this level, so Yongqingbo and his wife and Wang Wei and his wife also came to congratulate.

At this time, seeing that Grandma He brought in a bright and dignified girl again, Yang couldn't help but take a few more glances and asked, "Which girl is this girl?" ”

The wife of the prince of the Protector's Mansion wants to inquire about people, where can she not hurry up? Mrs. Rong Enbo immediately gave the maid behind her a look. The maid came back soon and said, "If Mrs. Hui speaks, this Miss Wan is the niece of Wei Ge Lao, surnamed Xie, and the two families have a deep friendship. Miss Wan was taken out by Mrs. Wei to meet a few guests. ”

Yang sighed, looked over curiously, and then looked at this Xie Wan carefully, only to see that his demeanor was natural and natural, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, his makeup was appropriate, and his demeanor was so beautiful that he was impeccable, and he also inexplicably gave birth to a bit of goodwill. At that moment, he wiped the cards and said with a smile: "Wei Ge Lao still has such a lovely niece, which is really enviable." ”

Mrs. Yongqingbo, who was opposite Mrs. Rong Enbo, saw that Mrs. Rong Enbo was the first to pat her ass, and at this time, she looked at her words and looks, and saw that she was sincerely appreciative, so she smiled and said: "This Wan girl can enter the wisdom of Mrs. Rongzi, it is also a blessing, Mrs. might as well give her a face and invite her over to talk." ”

Yang smiled, noncommittal.

Mrs. Yongqingbo saw that she did not object, so she also sent the maid over.

Xie Wan had already noticed the gaze from the Yang family, and he looked at them twice, and saw that they were all wearing the costumes of the noble women, and the one wearing the clothes of the prince was very luxurious, which was more atmospheric than the clothes of the two dukes next to him, and he was also curious about their identities, so he saw a strange maid come to him.

"Miss Wan, our lady asks you to move over and speak."

The maid bowed deeply to Xie Wan. There is no way, now except for the Protector Mansion, the nobles are not popular, Xie Wan is the niece of Wei Ge Lao, and it can be seen that the Wei family is very polite to her, otherwise there would not be Grandma He personally brought over. Therefore, she must do this gift in place, so as not to spoil the good deeds that their wife wants to cling to Wei Ge Lao.

The maid's words, Grandma He and Mrs. Jin who were present heard it, and Grandma He sighed and said, "It's Mrs. Shizi of the Protector's Mansion." Let's go, I'll take you over for a salute. ”

Xie Wan heard that it was someone from Yin Yu's grandfather's family, and he didn't know why it was a little unnatural, but this was not enough to show his face, and when he saw Grandma He say this, he stood up respectfully and followed her to the Yang table.

"Wan'er, hurry up and see Mrs. Shizi, as well as Mrs. Rong Enbo and Mrs. Yongqingbo." Grandma He said with a smile. Because she had already seen it when she greeted the guests before, she didn't need to be polite.

Xie Wan bowed down as he said.

Yang put down the cards in his hand with a smile, sat upright, and said with a smile: "It was I who just saw that Miss Wan was very good, and I wanted to be close." I hope it doesn't come to you. ”

Xie Wan said unhurriedly: "Mrs. Shizi is too worried, Mrs. can let Xie Wan meet her, Xie Wan is already deeply honored." ”

Yang smiled, looking at her with a pleasing eye, her makeup and dress are impeccable, her posture is very upright, her skin is also very fair, her eyebrows are shallow, her apricot eyes imply thousands of mountains and rivers, her lips are full and plump, the arc from her neck to her shoulders is smooth and slender, and the whole person is like a gnolia made in one go by Danqing celebrities.

With such a foundation, it makes people feel that no matter how many accessories are matched with her, it is not cumbersome.

Yang pulled a branch of silk and tired phoenix gold from his sideburns, and handed it to Xie Wan's folded hand in front of his lower abdomen with a smile: "A little heart-" Halfway through the words, Yang paused, and Xie Wan's hand in front of him was suddenly held in her hand, so the sleeves on Hao's wrist faded, and suddenly revealed a red gold bracelet engraved with the pattern of nine dragons chasing phoenixes!
