Ye Yun has already heard the reception of the grandmother said, this morning banquet, after lunch, will set up a stage to sing, these ladies will go to listen to the play, and the male guests in the outer courtyard will drink wine, taste poetry and play chess in a wide courtyard in the east, I heard that there is an open courtyard in the east, and you can also ride horses and shoot arrows. In short, it will be lively.

Bai Jian's mother congratulated her on her birthday, and the queen in the palace sent a congratulatory gift to show her grace, she didn't know many people in the capital in her previous life, in addition to the royal family, she only knew the Taifu Lin family, the uncle of the country, the Yin family, the Beidu Hou Cheng family, the Cui family and other powerful families, oh, by the way, and then there is the Luo Wangfu.

She was weak in her previous life, although she was famous, but in addition to her family, the deepest feeling was the teacher Lin Lan, the old man Lin, and the other young ladies were just nodding friends, at least in her heart.

Thinking so, she had already followed the other girls to a water pavilion on the west side of the Bai family's inner courtyard.

The garden of the capital advocates the wind of the garden in the south of the Yangtze River, in recent years, the minister's mansion will invite Suzhou craftsmen to build a house on the house, pavilions and pavilions, rockery Taihu Lake stone, everything, although there are not many people in this Bai family, but the yard is big enough, this artificially repaired lake is bigger than the lake of Mufu.

From the main courtyard, there is a long corridor that winds the entire lake, and it is very festive to display lights everywhere.

She and her sister traveled to the lake with other eunuch ladies, Mu Yancui had a few handkerchiefs in the capital, and soon got together in the crowd, Ye Xi and Ye Yun were not in a hurry, and slowly followed behind, but Ye Xi's appearance was very eye-catching, many people pointed at her and asked Mu Yancui, and Mu Yancui reluctantly introduced it.

Ye Xi is the eldest daughter, so she naturally has to learn to deal with people, and occasionally interjects a few words, but Ye Yun quietly admires the water lilies alone with the painting screen.

When she walked to a water pavilion, she simply stopped, sat on the red-painted railing, and stared at the water lilies on the water in a daze with her chin propped up.

The round green leaves rolled up a few dew drops and rolled around on the lotus leaves, and the leaves of the water lilies were half-hidden, as if there was a touch of shyness. Just when the breeze was blowing, and she had forgotten everything in the world and was intoxicated with herself, a voice that was neither high nor low caught her attention.

"Go to Lianxiang Pavilion, I heard that Miss Yuan Ziyan, the daughter of Yuan Guogong, wrote a poem, waiting for everyone to guess the riddle!"

"Yuan Ziyan? Is it the eldest lady of the Yuan family who sent lanterns to Bai Shangshu during the Lantern Festival this year and wanted to marry him? ”

"But isn't it, I heard that Bai Shangshu refused her, but then the eldest lady Yuan came to the house to visit the old lady in three days, Bai Shangshu was helpless, so he asked the old lady to accept her as a righteous daughter, and now she is here as a righteous daughter to help the old lady manage the birthday banquet and entertain the official eunuch lady!"

"I see, it's just that Bai Shangshu's wife died early, and he should continue the strings, is it possible that he doesn't like Miss Yuan?"

At this moment, the girl who spoke first lowered her voice and whispered a few words in the ear of the other girl.

Ye Yun didn't hear it too clearly, but when he heard them mention a name, he was so shocked that he even dropped the embroidered handkerchief on his hand!

What's the situation?

She opened her eyes and looked at the two girls, and when she saw them walking towards the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion in front of her, she hurriedly grabbed the painting screen that helped her pick up the embroidered handkerchief,

"Let's go, let's go check it out!"

The painting screen was caught off guard, and was stumbled by Ye Yun, and hurriedly followed.

Miss finally been gentle for a while, but did she sprout again? The painting screen wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurriedly helped her go.

Ye Yun saw that many people were rushing to the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion in the middle of the lake, she finally let the painting screen open the way for her, and seeing that her sister was also in front, she squeezed to Ye Xi's side.

Although she is young, she is not short, she is as tall as her sister Ye Xi, half a head taller than Mu Yancui, there are still a few girls standing in front of her and Ye Xi, she looked inside from the shoulders of the two girls, and saw Yuan Ziyan writing a poem hanging on a two-foot-high screen.

Yuan Ziyan stood next to the screen, in front of her was a sandalwood table, on which there was a box tied with red silk, and there were a few girls sitting around the small table.

The girl in the north was wearing a red pomegranate skirt, very delicate, it was the queen's niece Yin Xiaojun, that is, Yin Yi's sister, her face was round, her skin was stuffed with snow, and she really had a fight with her sister Ye Xi in terms of appearance.

There was also a young lady sitting beside her who was round and chubby, and her eyes were purring happily, and she was Cheng Ying, the daughter of the Hou Cheng family in the northern capital.

There are two more girls, Ye Yun is a little familiar, but she can't name them, but she can sit with Cheng Ying and Yin Xiaojun, either the girl from the Cui family or the girl from the Yu family in Nandu.

The Cui family, the Yin family, the Cheng family, the Lin family, and the Yu family are the most powerful and high-profile eunuch families in the entire capital, the Cheng family is a relative of the queen mother, and the northern capital Hou Cheng Yunzhi is the most valued magnate by the emperor in the current dynasty, holding the military power of the five military governors in the capital.

The Yin family is the queen family, and they are naturally extremely noble.

The old man Cui of the Cui family is now the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is the first minister in the court, and he is in the spotlight.

The Yu family is in charge of one of the six guards, Xiaowei, stationed in the southern suburbs of the capital, and is a meritorious family that followed the emperor to fight the world in the early years, and is in a high position.

The children of the Lin family inherited the family motto of the old man Lin, half of the children served for the court, and half of the children traveled around the world to set up a teaching altar to preach and receive employment for the children of cloth.

The Lin family is well-known all over the world, and everyone in the world knows it. It's just that the Lin family has always been noble, and rarely participates in banquets outside the house, while the other families often walk around each other, Bai Jian's mother has a big birthday, and these ladies and ladies in the house naturally come to congratulate them on their birthday.

Yin Xiaojun is a person, Ye Yun has not had much contact, so it is not easy to evaluate, but Cheng Ying and Ye Yun are more familiar. Cheng Ying has been the treasure of the family since she was a child, but unfortunately she doesn't have a sister, so she often relies on Ye Yun's sister in her previous life to play, so Cheng Ying has the best relationship with Ye Yun's sister in her previous life, which makes many people think that Cheng Ying is the sister of the first lady in Beijing!

Just as Ye Yun remembered those old things, Yuan Ziyan raised her eyebrows and said to the many young ladies gathered around: "Ladies and gentlemen, today my stepmother instructed me to entertain you, and I will lay out a riddle here, if any of you young ladies can guess the answer to the riddle, a string of coral beads on this small table is the color head, has anyone guessed it?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Xiaojun, Cheng Ying and others who were sitting also looked around, looking at the girls around them, and the girls around them naturally looked eager to try, and they all knew in their hearts that if they could show their style in Baifu today, it would definitely be an opportunity to make a name for themselves, and it would also be a capital to discuss relatives in the future.

Before Ye Yun had time to read the poem carefully, many girls said the answers, but they were all denied by Yuan Ziyan.

Ye Yun then turned his head sideways to look at the riddle of the poem.

"He came from thousands of miles, but he didn't show off his talents. Increase learning to help the mystery, and the local people are like sparse children. ”

After Ye Yun finished reading this poem, he was as stunned as a wooden chicken, and the corners of his mouth were frozen with a wry smile.

Even Ye Xi and Mu Yancui sisters also guessed a few, but they didn't guess correctly.

Some bold girls asked,

"Miss Yuan, is this a poem you wrote? It's so well written, this mystery is so difficult! A girl complimented flatteringly.

As soon as the girl's voice fell, Yin Xiaojun sneered, and Yuan Ziyan turned red and a little embarrassed.

Only Cheng Ying's crisp voice overpowered everyone's doubts and sighs,

"This is not written by Sister Yuan, this is written by Su Yun'er, the second lady of the Su family!"

When Ye Yun heard this name, his whole body stiffened, and a strong chill surged from the soles of his feet to his heart, and then to his head, his eyes were covered with a layer of smoke, as if there was a white silk in front of him, and the thick ink under his eyes that was as black as a deep pool gathered into cold ice little by little, and the hatred that penetrated his bones swept through his body.

The picture screen beside her shivered unconsciously, and she was stunned, thinking that she had fallen into the ice cellar.

Ye Yun smiled bitterly, she thought that no one in the capital would remember her anymore, but she didn't expect this Yuan Ziyan to take out the poem she wrote back then to embarrass Yin Yi.

Cheng Ying's words were like a boulder entering the lake, causing an uproar.

The crowd was stumbling and talking.

"Su Yun'er? Is it the daughter of Zuo Prime Minister Su Jingzhong, who was executed for the crime of collaborating with the enemy? ”

"Isn't her sister Su Shuang'er known as the No. 1 lady in the capital, I heard that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

"Yes, the twin sisters of the Su family are simply crazy with jealousy, my sister Su Shuang'er is famous among the female dependents, everyone takes it as an example, her sister Su Yun'er is even more amazingly talented, she has always been looked up to by the sons of the capital family, I heard that her talent, even men are rarely able to do it, if this is a poem she wrote, we must not guess correctly!"

"Isn't it, I heard that this Second Miss Su has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and she is the only closed disciple of Taifu Lin, and she is also the most proud disciple of his old man!"

"That's it, I also heard that several princes wanted to worship Old Man Lin as a teacher, but Old Man Lin said who could win Miss Su Er, and he accepted apprentices, not only the princes, but also many children of the family were eager to try, I heard that Miss Su Er only set up a chess game, let the people who came to apprentice crack it, but none of them succeeded, and in the end, the old man only accepted Miss Su Er as a closed disciple!"

"This second Miss Su can sing the hundred official chronicles at the age of three, and memorize the geography of Kyushu at the age of five, I heard that she has the ability to never forget, and read all the books in the Royal Library Pavilion, knowing astronomy, geography, and fighting the army, and becoming a poem in five steps!"

Just as many girls were chattering, the two girls behind Ye Yun lowered their voices and whispered:

"Alas, isn't it because she is close to the demon that she was given death!"

"Yes, the Su family's crime of collaborating with the enemy, the man was executed, but the female dependents still have a chance to live, Miss Su was saved by Bai Shangshu and the Lin family, but Miss Su Er was given death!"

Ye Yun was shocked when he heard this, his sister didn't die? Is my sister still alive? Or was it saved by Bai Jian and the Lin family?

Where's that sister?

She only knew that at the beginning of last year, the eldest brother led the troops to the expedition, and was accused of collaborating with the enemy and causing a big defeat, and before the eldest brother returned to Beijing, he was beheaded by the prison sent by the emperor, and then his father and second brother were imprisoned.

It didn't take long for Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to find out what happened, and concluded that the eldest brother collaborated with the enemy, and the father was also executed as the head of the courtiers, but the second brother was exiled, she heard that the second brother died of illness on the way in less than ten days of exile, and then the sisters-in-law committed suicide, and she was also strangled to death by a foot of white silk on the sick bed.

And at that time, her sister was at her aunt's house, she thought that her sister would also have an accident, it turned out that it was the Lin family and Bai Jian who saved her, her mother was the eldest princess of Xuanling, and her mother's half-sister Princess Jiangling married the eldest son of the old man Lin, after her mother died early, her aunt treated their sisters as if they were her own children, so she and her sister were closest to the Lin family since childhood.

Is that sister in the Lin family now?

Ye Yun's eyes filled with tears, and his heart was like a terrifying wave, and it was difficult to calm down.
