On the day of the day, the Wu'an Hou Mansion was full of guests early in the morning, although the Luo family just wanted to invite a few relatives, but Luo Yuanpeng came back from Liaodong to serve as the prince and the secretary of the military department, and directly entered the cabinet.

Zhang Lan was dressed in a cinder-colored waist-cinching narrow-sleeved Hangzhou silk gown, revealing a small half of the skirt but a fine tooth-white feather yarn, her hair was combed into a fairy bun, the red gold phoenix hairpin was brilliant, the crested head was swaying, and she wore a pair of sheep finger jade bracelets on her left hand and a pair of red gold eight-treasure bracelets on her right hand.

She doesn't like this dress very much, of course, she is born with a good foundation, and she is not ugly when she is dressed up, but what is the jingle on her body? I'm afraid that others won't know that she is from a low background, is this specially dressed as a nouveau riche? And what is this dress, wearing such a color in this weather, and embroidering peony flowers in large groups, she is an eighteen-nineteen-year-old girl, dressed like an aunt, but everyone in the house said that it should be like this, even Luo Yuanpeng said that she had the demeanor of Mrs. Hou, Zhang Lan was reluctant in her heart, and she could only reluctantly arm herself.

"Brother and sister, don't be nervous," Luo Yuanpeng's sister-in-law Yang in the next room, "Except for a few relatives who came today, there are not many others whose status is higher than yours," Yang is already more than forty years old, looking at the Mrs. Wu'anhou in front of him, it is impossible not to be sour, but who calls people's lives good? Yang put on a smiling face, since Mrs. Luo's body is weak, she rarely walks around with relatives, and their branch has less contact, this time Mrs. Luo took the initiative to call her over to help, which can be regarded as an opportunity.

This Yang family is a side branch of the Wu'an Hou Luo family, it is not far to say that it is a side branch, Yang's great-grandfather is Luo Yuanpeng's great-grandfather Lao Wu Anbo's cousin, because he is not good at pommel horses, but he has not been on the battlefield, not only his life is safe, but after the separation of the family, it is more luxuriant, several generations down, and the Wu'an Hou Mansion is like two branches, in order to distinguish it from the Wu'an Hou Luo family, the people of the capital call the Luo family of Tie Lane, and the old lady Zhao of the Luo family is a smart person, although it is far from the origin of the old lady of Luo, but it is also often walking, After all, it is good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees, and with the Wu'an Hou Mansion, whether they are officials or businessmen, they are all smooth sailing.

Zhang Lan only met this sister-in-law who was old enough to be her aunt yesterday, and she also knew that it was Mrs. Luo who specially invited the Yang family to come over to help her recognize people, but she was full of gratitude, it is better to have such a person here than to let someone next to her tell her who this is and who it is.

Because Mrs. Luo has a high rank and a valuable status, no matter which lady comes, she must first go to the Qingtai Courtyard to ask for peace, not to mention relatives such as Dingguo Mansion and Chengenbo Mansion.

"I praise the second aunt for being beautiful," Luo Aya Jin didn't like Zhang Lan, in her opinion, Zhang Lan was the rat in the broth, which could only shame the Luo family, "Look at her smug look, she doesn't know how to restrain at all!" ”

This Zhang Lan, arrogance doesn't know what to use it for, Luo Qingrong sighed in his heart, Aunt Lan is in the water residence, but Zhang Lan didn't ask Aunt Lan some rules of the capital before the banquet, what is it to listen to a few mothers around her, such a slave is out of the Hou Mansion, can it be compared with the aunt next to the Queen Mother in the palace? She shook her head unconsciously, as soon as people's mood changed, the same thing would be two views.

"Shenyu has seen the county lord, Second Sister Luo," Ji Shenyu came very early, and she was even more happy to see Luo Qingrong, she wanted to ask Luo Qingrong how her stepmother was, but Luo Ayajin was by her side, and she couldn't help it after all.

"Come and sit down, Sister Peiyi and Sister Peijing are here, as well as the two young ladies from Chengenbo Mansion," Luo Qingrong pursed his lips and smiled, and pulled Ji Shenyu's hand and said, "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." ”

Qi Peiyi and Qi Peijing are the two ladies of the Dingguo Mansion, and they are also the maiden nieces and granddaughters of Mrs. Luo, and Cheng Enbo's Mansion is the maiden family of the Jiang family, the wife of Luo Yuanhu, the third elder of the Luo family.

"Then I'll go over," Ji Shenyu knew that the ladies who came today couldn't expect the county lord to put down his body to entertain, "You don't have to be too tired, anyway, it's all your own people~"

The number of people today was beyond Luo Ayajin's expectations, but fortunately she was there, she was not tired, she only covered her mouth with a fan, "See, Weiyuan Hou Du's family, as well as Mrs. Feng Shangshu, Gu Shilang's family are here, when will we have a relationship with these people?" ”

Naturally, they all came to see this once-in-a-century Mrs. Hou, Luo Qingrong sneered slightly, "Let's go outside, the aunts of the Qi family should come, as well as Sister Yi and Sister Jing~"

"I've seen two sisters-in-law," Zhang Lanzheng, the main house of Qingtaiyuan, gave the Duchess Jiang and the second lady Yun a salute.

"After their husband and wife came back, one was busy in the yamen, and the other was busy in the house, you also know that when the Zhang family didn't come back, there was not even a family member in this house, so tired that Sister Rong's little girl came out to take care of things, and now that she has a housewife, the Zhang family has been busy for a while, and she didn't care about letting them go to the house," Mrs. Luo seemed to be extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and explained to Zhang Lan with a smile.

Jiang and Yun were startled by Zhang Lan's bright smile, and glanced at each other awkwardly, Jiang said, "Where did my aunt say, my cousin is back, and our brothers and sisters-in-law should come over and take a look!" ”

Zhang Lan is also a smart person, and naturally understands the meaning of the word Jiang's brother and sister-in-law, this aunt and nephew are singing and saying that they and Luo Yuanpeng don't understand the rules, and they can't come back to see her, she raised the corners of her mouth and was ready to sneer at each other, Mrs. Luo is not Luo Yuanpeng's mother at all, where is this Qi family considered her serious relatives? But before the words came out, I saw Luo Qingrong deftly inserting between the Jiang family and the Yun family, "The eldest aunt, the second aunt, Qingrong hasn't seen the two aunts for a long time, and now the eldest sister is also at home, you can't take Sister Yi and Sister Jing away this time!" ”

"This little girl," Jiang put Zhang Lan's dissatisfaction aside, and didn't pay much attention to her, what about Wu Anhou? The Dingguo Mansion is the emperor's foreign family, "You saw your two sisters just now?" They also brought good things for you sisters~"

As he spoke, he hugged Luo Aya Jin in his arms again, "Sister Aya is getting more and more like a big girl, and when I get to Jilu, my aunt will give you a generous gift~"

Zhang Lan looked at the few people who were affectionate in the hall, and smiled faintly, do you want to isolate yourself? She looked at Luo Qingrong who was talking affectionately with the Jiang family with pity, what a child, could it be that a grandmother is a grandmother? In this world, apart from Luo Yuanpeng, where does she have any relatives? "Mother, daughter-in-law go out and have a look," Zhang Lan Yifu nodded at Jiang and pulled Yang out with her.

"The old lady is old, and she will inevitably be very happy to see her mother's family," Yang thought that Zhang Lan was angry that she was being snubbed, and persuaded on the side.

"What did my sister-in-law say, we are daughters-in-law, as long as my mother is happy, I think Sister Rong likes the two girls of the Qi family very much, and I really want to keep them in the house for a few more days, and let Sister An stay when the time comes, our Wu'an Hou Mansion is too big, and there are more people and it will be more lively~" Zhang Lan quietly changed the topic, what is she unhappy about, she is the real hostess of this Wu'an Hou Mansion, the mother-in-law who is named, she is perfunctory when she is happy, if she is not happy, what can she do? Even if it's this Yang, what if you're not convinced, if you let her granddaughter stay for a few days, isn't it a happy eyebrow?

With the Yang family welcoming in the last guest, Zhang Lan only felt that her face hurt with a smile, "It's really hard sister-in-law today, let's find a place to drink tea and catch our breath~"

The guests of this mansion are all coming for you, and you want to have a cup of tea and find a place to catch your breath? Yang smiled dryly, "Isn't this okay? If the ladies in the hall can't see their younger siblings, I'm afraid that some people will say that we are rude, "Do you want Mrs. Luo to accompany the guests?"

"Alas, it's really hard~" Zhang Lan straightened her waist, this talking and laughing with people was more tiring than her taking four Chinese classes in a row, "Then sister-in-law, you can rest for a while, I'll go over," The ladies in the hall all have backgrounds, for Luo Yuanpeng, I must also do a good job in lady diplomacy~

"Second girl, Mrs. asked people to ask, do you want to go to her yard to enjoy the lotus flowers?" Yulu looked enviously at the ladies of the various provinces in the Cloud Chasing Pavilion, in the end, people have the same fate and different lives~

"Lotus appreciation?" Li Biyao leaned over to Luo Ayajin and chuckled, "It seems that the princess's florist skills are good, and our second girl Luo is really filial~"

"Hmph, as far as you talk a lot, the Luo family doesn't just have lotus flowers to see, I'll take you to the Guanqiu Garden to pick osmanthus flowers in a while, let's make osmanthus wine to drink," Luo Ayajin didn't want to go to Zhang Lan's field at all.

Over there, Luo Qingrong had already gotten up, and said to Qi Peiyi first, "Mother's has a pool of good lotus flowers behind the water house, do you want to see it?" Let's pick lotus seeds together after a while~"

"Light-looking," Luo Ayajin looked displeased, "Didn't we say that we were going to pick osmanthus flowers, what is there to look at in those rotten lotus flowers?" "Princess Jiahe is not here, she is respected here, so she should not go to Zhang Lan's water residence.

"Eldest sister," Luo Qingrong smiled helplessly at the ladies in the hall, "Since my mother has sent someone to invite you, I think all the ladies have arrived early, so let's hurry over." ”

"That's it, the county lord will take us there, we didn't dig a pond at home," Ji Shenyu looked yearning, "I don't know if there is a small boat rowing~" She is helping Luo Qingrong to speak, Zhang Lan is not here, the anger will naturally be sent to her good sister.

"Go, I still want to hear if you can write a new poem~" Qi Peiyi came over and pulled Luo Ayajin and said in her ear, "I heard that the second aunt has changed the main courtyard, we still want to go and sit~"

"Okay," Luo Ayajin has a good relationship with Qi Peiyi, and since she opened her mouth, she can't save face for this cousin, "Anyway, it's hard for you to go out now, so I'll listen to you." ”

In a word, the surrounding ladies all covered their lips and smiled, and Qi Peiyi blushed, Luo Qingrong sighed in her heart, Qi Peiyi was discussing marriage, and at this time she was teasing her in front of everyone, especially a few of the ladies here who usually don't interact at all, Luo Ayajin can really talk about it, but she has such a temperament, but she is the princess of the East Palace, Luo Qingrong sometimes really feels that the world is making people.
