The Korean government is located in Toutiao Hutong on the west side of Jishuitan. Because the Korean prince Zhang Ming is a good man, one of the few remaining top princes, and his daughter is the concubine of the King of Jin, it is usually a place with many guests. However, after the year, the Jin Palace's palace suffered a series of accidents, and then the Xuanfu Datong mutual market fraud case involved the Korean government, Zhang Ming even thought about it behind closed doors for a while, and this former busy Guogong Mansion was also deserted.

Time has passed, and now the matter of the Jin Wangfu falls on the head of the dead King Wu, although the Korean prince Zhang Ming lost the governor of the left army, but he went to Beijing to sit in the town, and led the military camp under his command, which seems to be more obvious than before. If someone thinks about it again, Zhang Quan, the second master who married the lord of Yixing, where would he not understand that the crisis in this mansion has long been over. So, I received a joint post from the Korean government and the Yangning Hou Mansion, and people came over one after another early in the morning.

Although the Korean duchess Chen did not think so, her husband entrusted her and her mother instructed her that she, the master, naturally did not dare to slack off, but she muttered in her heart. At this time, at the second gate, seeing her mother Zhu getting down from the carriage under the service of two sturdy servants, her forehead was full of sweat, she couldn't help but feel distressed and stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully, and then said: "On this hot day, my mother sent Mother Zheng to send Lan'er over, why bother to run such a trip yourself, what if you have heat stroke, what can happen, your body is not very good."

She looked at Chen Lan again as she spoke: "You don't persuade the old lady either."

"Okay, it's not interesting for me to be bored at home all day, so I naturally want to have a good time at this time." Zhu's brows furrowed, and she didn't allow the Korean duchess to say anything, so she let the servant woman carry her onto the sedan chair on the other side, and saw that someone next to her had already prepared a silk umbrella, so she instructed without looking back, "There are many guests today, you are the mistress of the Korean mansion, and Lan'er's aunt, remember to be more dedicated, this mistake is a joke."

Although Chen was secretly annoyed, he didn't dare to disobey after all, so he had to agree. At this time, the county lord of Yixing and Zhang Huixin also arrived, one stepped forward to talk to the Zhu family with a smile, and the other pulled Chen Lan to ask questions and questions. The group talked and laughed and entered the Yuhui Hall, the back hall of the Korean Mansion, and a few ladies and ladies who arrived earlier all came forward. After greeting Mrs. Zhu for a while, more people surrounded Chen Lan, and there was both envy and jealousy in their eyes, and more comparison and pickiness.

It was not the first time that Chen Lan had experienced this kind of occasion, but he dealt with it one by one with a decent smile, and found that Zhang Huixin was missing in a blink of an eye. Knowing that this girl was the most impatient to socialize, she was afraid that she didn't know where to hide and wait for the ladies and ladies who were waiting for her to get rid of these troubles to come over and talk, so she moved quietly and stayed in the corner, and sure enough, a familiar girl quietly stepped forward. But at this moment, a voice came from outside.

"Duchess of Weiguo has arrived"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent, and even Chen was a little surprised. Although they are both duchesses, one side is a hereditary noble, and the other side is a new relative hero, and Chen didn't think that the other party would come after sending the post out. She glanced at Zhu Shi on the side, saw that he had lost his eyes, and hurriedly smiled and said hello to the others, and when she was about to go out in person, the county lord of Yixing on the side rushed ahead.

"There are so many important guests, my sister-in-law might as well stay. On the Duchess of Weiguo's side, I and I took Brother Ji's daughter-in-law to pick it up, and the rest of the guests were probably about the same, so let Brother Wei's daughter-in-law accompany her to greet her, and I will wait there. ”

On a hot day, the Chen family couldn't wait to run a few times to run the second door, and he didn't want to pull down his face to flatter Chen Lan, so he was naturally happy to hear this. As for the other guests, they naturally secretly praised the county lord of Yixing, the respected eldest sister-in-law who is a younger brother-in-law, and it is not the same as the rumored powerful royal county lord. And Chen Lan looked at the figure of the Yixing county lord going out, and he admired it for a while.

With this little episode, Zhang Huixin was reminded by the girl next to her mother, and she didn't dare to blindly hide in the back room to cool off, so she reluctantly appeared in the hall again. After only dealing with the guests for a while, she saw that there were many fewer people around Chen Lan, so she took a chance to get closer, pulled someone and slipped inside. Before the two could say a few words, there was another announcement outside.

"Eldest Princess Longyou arrives"

"Princess Jinyang has arrived"

"The county lord of Qingyuan has arrived"

"Duchess Anguo has arrived"

The endless announcements made the laughter in the room much quieter all of a sudden, and then it was like a rebound, and there was another uproar. Chen Lan inside opened the curtain a crack, and saw that the warblers and warblers outside were different in the golden and jade splendor, and he took a deep breath.

"The pomp and circumstance of your birthday is really big, it's even more lively than the last time I was with Lu" If someone else said this, it would be a little sour, but Zhang Huixin was full of excitement and happiness, and took Chen Lan's hand and smiled, "Look at who else dares to underestimate you now"

"Thanks to the county lord and the old lady's aunt for bothering to do it." Chen Lan just said this, and seeing Zhang Huixin glaring at her, she couldn't help but say helplessly, "This hasn't served tea yet, it's too abrupt to change the name of mother." ”

"Stingy...... Then you call me a sister first, don't add the word Huixin, just call my sister"

Zhang Huixin puffed out his cheeks and asked for life and death, and Chen Lan had to do it. The two sisters laughed in the room for a while, and Zhang Huixin remembered what was going on, and hurriedly took Chen Lan to the side of the room to change clothes. After all, Chen Lan is the protagonist of today, and when he came to the banquet on this hot day, he had already sweated profusely, and it would be too late if he didn't clean it up at this time.

Because although the queen's 100-day funeral has passed, it is necessary to wear light clothes according to the etiquette system, so Chen Lan prepared a round-necked yarn shirt with an autumn fragrance color earlier, a willow yellow Hunan skirt, and green hostas and pearl earrings in his hair. At this time, she re-evened her face and brushed her hair under the service of the girl, and her mother came in from outside, smiling and saying that the guests had arrived, and asked the birthday star Weng to go out to meet the guests.

This time it was very different from the previous visit, it was the county lord of Yixing who personally led her to visit the past. Among them, several eldest princesses and princess county lords were extremely warm and polite to her, and the eldest princess Longyou even took off a gold collar from her neck and put it on her body directly.

"At a young age, even if you have a heart, you don't have to be so plain when you celebrate your birthday, even if I dress up yours, just wear it"

Wearing that heavy collar, Chen Lan almost wondered if this was specially brought to her by the eldest princess Longyou, otherwise, how could this golden branch and jade leaf, who was already young, wear such a heavy thing with a little emerald inlay. When she came to Mrs. Lin, she felt that this Duchess of Weiguo seemed to look her up and down for a while, and her eyes were a little complicated. When she saw the salute, Mrs. Lin sighed after she helped her up.

"The third lady is really a blessed person."

After all, there were still many people below, so Chen Lan only had time to bow to Mrs. Lin slightly, and followed the county lord of Yixing to the other side. And Mrs. Lin looked at Chen Lan's back, and couldn't help but think of her son's expression when he saw that post,

"Mother, since someone sent a post here, you might as well go. The two governments are jointly named, and there is the county lord of Yixing, it must be allowed by the emperor in private, we didn't deal with those people before, because they didn't take us seriously at all, and now the county lord of Yixing personally asked my mother to send the post, but he couldn't be so slow. Besides, if I don't go, I'm afraid that shameless guy Chen Ying will still think that I still have a grudge, don't let people underestimate our family."

Mrs. Lin watched Chen Lan arrive at a woman over there, and before she saluted, there were bursts of laughter around her, and someone next to her muttered that this was a prospective daughter-in-law to see a prospective mother-in-law, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart again. is already someone else's daughter-in-law, and her son asked her to come over, is she letting it go or can't let it go?

And Chen Lan stood in front of the Jiang family at this time, Rao is no matter how good her composure is, she was teased by the two ladies next to her, and her face was still a little flushed. Because most of the other people asked the accompanying mother to hand over the birthday gift to the deacon's mother outside, but the Jiang family, like the eldest princess Longyou, directly gave a pair of jade chuan with a chic and simple shape, and said with a smile: "The weather has been bad in the past few months, the weather is hot, and now it is July. ”

Anyone can hear what this means, Chen Lan remembered that Yang Jinzhou had sent a short sword, and now that the prospective mother-in-law had sent such a birthday gift, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, and after taking it, she thanked her for a while. When she had seen Tuan Tuan, she breathed a sigh of relief, and an irrelevant thought popped up in her heart.

Like Mrs. Ma, who was not willing to come to be a foil, Mrs. Runingbo did not come.

Because today is not only Chen Lan's birthday, but also Yixing County's main recognition of Chen Lan as his goddaughter, so before the birthday banquet, Chen Lan gave tea to the Yixing County Lord. When she first bowed and bowed three times on the worship mat, and then took the Jun kiln carmine porcelain cup from the hand of Changdi on the side, held it in both hands and gave it to the county lord of Yixing, and changed her voice to call her mother, she heard the full house of praise and laughter. Immediately after, a pair of strong hands helped her up.

"Good boy, you can take Huixin's girl well in the future, so that she doesn't be so crazy"

"Mother laughed, my sister is just straightforward, and we will mention each other in the future."

Mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment, and both smiles appeared on their faces. In the midst of this laughter, Zhu quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. Just when Zhao's mother stepped forward to ask if she could go to the back hall for a banquet, a mother's hurried voice suddenly came from outside.

"The eldest lady, the second lady...... The ladies in the palace sent humanity and were happy."
