"Lan Ying came to the Spring Banquet, why didn't she come to find the second aunt? Could it be that after becoming Mrs. Ye, she didn't recognize me as a second aunt? ”

Hebai frowned and looked at the charming and amorous woman, but the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, her thin lips were red, she looked a little mean and calculating, it was Qin Meiyan, the second wife of the Ming family, who pouted with some disgust.

squeezed out the original wife's wife and took the position, which is on par with Jiang Heyu's angry original wife, but his courage is not as big as Jiang Heyu.

Duchess Dingguo saw Qin Jiao hesitate for a moment, and the mother-in-law behind her leaned over and whispered a few words, and the Duchess of Dingguo loosened her body when she heard this, and leaned lazily on the ring armrest of the yellow rosewood chair.

"It's the wife of the second eldest of the Ming family, why did you get here? But can't find a way back? ”

Ming Lanying glanced at Hebai suspiciously, Hebai silently mouthed her, and then rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaoyan without a trace, Minglanying smiled and sat upright at the feet of the Duchess of Dingguo without moving.

The second master of the Ming family has gone wrong in his position, and now he is still cleaning up the mess, and his colleagues are all watching the excitement at home, this Qin Jiyan dares to come to the Spring Festival banquet because of this cheeky skin.

Qin Meiyan's eyes swept under the small pavilion, and she didn't see the big fat man with a shiny face, but saw a stunning woman at the feet of the Duchess of Dingguo, a little puzzled and shocked, but she was thick-skinned, and she still bowed with a smile.

"The concubine heard that Lan Ying was also here, and she handed over the stickers to the Commander's Mansion several times before, but she was always sent back, and it was difficult to see each other, and I thought that I could finally see Lan Ying at the Spring Festival banquet this time, but I didn't see it over there, and I found that I was still here with the Duchess of Dingguo, so I specially came to take her over, so as not to disturb the old ladies."

The banquet was also divided into circles, the Duchess of Dingguo all had grandchildren, and the grandmothers who had the right to speak at home, Qin Jiyan said that the old lady could not find any mistakes.

And the ladies of the younger generation, such as the second and third ladies of the Ming family, are another master of the house's mother's circle.

There are solid social relationships here, talking about sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, and there are still building relationships, talking about fashionable makeup and face, and talking about the backyard concubine room. It's not good to talk about common topics on both sides, but there are many people, so they just play separately and won't bother if there is nothing important.

Qin Meiyan suddenly came over to pull people a little abruptly, not to mention that Ming Lanying had just arrived, and before she could say a few words to the Duchess of Dingguo, Qin Meiyan came over like a dog that smelled the smell.

Ming Lanying squinted and smiled, "Let the second aunt worry, it's the first time I came to the Spring Festival Banquet, I don't know the rules, I want to see the Duchess of Dingguo first." ”

As soon as Ming Lanying spoke, Qin Meiyan's whole person was stunned, her face was full of disbelief and horror, Hebai trembled and snickered, every Ming family member was shocked when they saw their sister-in-law, as if their jaws were dropped, look at this useless one, their eyes are about to fall off!

Ming Lanying turned to the Duchess of Dingguo with an apologetic smile and said: "Blame me, I have been in the capital for so long, but because of the inconvenience of the identity of the father-in-law, I am afraid of causing trouble to others, and I don't dare to meet which lady, I am only lucky, I have been helped by the second girl of the Tang family, I don't know if the second girl of the Tang family is here today?" ”

Duchess Dingguo understands that Ye Juelu's identity is special, and it is reasonable to avoid suspicion, so she patted Ming Lanying's hand, "We understand your hard work, and it's right for you to do this, the affairs of the men in the family, we should support ourselves as wives, the second girl of the Tang family I know, she is capable, it's a good thing that you can get to know her, let my mother-in-law Zhang behind me take you later." ”

The Duchess of Dingguo spoke, Qin Meiyan failed to pull anyone, and when she heard that she was friendly with the girl of the Tang family, the smile on her face faded, and she didn't know that she thought she was putting on a face for the Duchess of Dingguo.

The eldest daughter of the Tang family is a concubine with a high status in the palace, and even with the Tang family, she is considered half of the royal family, the second daughter of the Tang family has been running business for many years, earning a lot of silver for the Tang family, and also paying a lot of taxes to the treasury.

Although his family is not in the capital, he is also a high-ranking family in the capital, and he also has his own connections in the capital.

Ming Lanying responded with a smile, of course she knew that Tang Ning was coming, so she waited to find her later, but Qin Xiaoyan from the second room of the Ming family suddenly killed.

"Second aunt, I still want to look for you and the third aunt later, I heard that the seventeenth sister is also here, a few days ago, the seventeenth sister was still worried that I wouldn't be able to come to the spring banquet, and she has been pulling me to come with her!"

Ming Lanying smiled shyly, "But I politely refused, I am already the wife of my father-in-law, I am really embarrassed to occupy the invitation quota of my mother's family, which makes people laugh at it." Fortunately, the Duchess of Dingguo did not dislike me, and specially asked someone to send an invitation, which I received with my own hands, so that I could come to see the world, and I could make amends to the ladies with those prayers that I had politely refused before. ”

Ming Lanying said this directly, she knew that if she didn't say it clearly, how good these women in the deep mansion compound would be at making up their brains and sowing discord, it was better to say what they had to say, believe it or not, and judge it for themselves.

Except for Ning'er and Hebai, none of them are innocent and ignorant girls, Ming Lanying's words are clear, Ming Jiazhen's little girl is still worried that the Duchess of Dingguo will not necessarily send Ming Lanying invitations, I don't know if it is a kind-hearted mutual help between sisters, or nosy.

And Ming Lanying also made it clear that she wanted to avoid suspicion because of her husband's official position, so she didn't accept anyone's worship posts, and at the same time, she also put her position very humble and polite, and no one could blame her carefully.

As one of the organizers of this banquet, Mrs. Yong Anhou also has the right to speak, "Mrs. Ye don't be afraid, everyone knows that your intentions are clear, you are a careful person, and everyone has to thank you for your good intentions." ”

Mrs. Yong'anhou spoke, and everyone agreed, left and right are not a big deal, Ming Lanying is also cautious when she first comes to the capital, this is normal, it is not like there are many scheming, which is reassuring.

"Today is a good day of the year, everything is recovering, vitality is reappeared, the new year begins, let's welcome the spring, don't mention the old things of the past years, sisters, am I right?"

"What Mrs. Shaoqing said is extremely true."

It seems to be a big first thing, in the eyes of these ladies, it is just a small matter that is neither high nor low, and the matter of Ming Lanying always refusing to worship and sticking to it will be turned over, and the Duchess of Dingguo bowed her head and said a few words to Ming Lanying, completely ignoring Qin Xiaoyan as air.

Qin Meiyan was bored with herself, smiled awkwardly and asked Ming Lanying to look for them as soon as possible, so she hurriedly left with the maids beside her.

Mrs. Yong'anhou looked at her back with complicated eyes, her smile covered the indifference in her eyes, and she snorted coldly in her heart, the Ming family really didn't have a good thing, if it wasn't for Ming Lanying to tell Ming Jiazhen directly, they wouldn't know it!

No wonder her daughter-in-law kept hinting to her a few days ago that she should send an invitation to Commander Ye's wife as soon as possible, otherwise Ming Lanying would be brought in by Ming Jiazhen as a member of the Ming family, and if she heard something at the banquet, wouldn't it make them fight with Commander Ye's Mansion in vain.

The Spring Festival banquet has always invited the princely family of more than five grades in Beijing, which is an eternal rule, and failing to receive the invitation is a contempt for the family, disrespectful behavior, and a provocation to tear the face in person.

Ming Jiazhen bullied Ming Lanying because she didn't understand this rule, and when she was pulled to the banquet as a member of the Ming family first, the invitation sent by the Duchess of Dingguo would definitely not be in Ming Lanying's hands, and then let people hint at this matter to her.

Just wait for Ming Lanying to start getting angry, adding fuel to the fire, turning her anger into a fire, and making trouble at this big banquet, Duchess Dingguo and Mrs. Yong'anhou will definitely not give her a good face.

At that time, people who are equivalent to half of the capital will know that the Dingguo Mansion and the Yong'an Marquis Mansion look down on the Ye Commander's Mansion.

Ye Jielu is a close minister of the emperor's side, even if he is only a third grade, he is more trusted and respected than the prime minister of a first grade, and he has a bad relationship with Ye Commander's Mansion, which is equivalent to ruining the life of his family for the rest of his life.

Ming Lanying and several ladies were almost chatting, and when she saw that Ning Er was about to pick up this group of well-maintained noble ladies, she hurriedly took Hebai and Ning Er to say goodbye to them, and followed Mrs. Zhang beside the Duchess of Dingguo to find Tang Ning in the circle of girls who had not yet left the cabinet.

Unfortunately, Tang Ning hadn't found it yet, so he ran into Ming Jiazhen first.

Ming Jiazhen came back from the shooting range with a group of good sisters, ready to go to the Flowing Water Pavilion to play with the Flying Flower Order, and the first time she saw Ming Lanying was anger and jealousy, but in the blink of an eye, that bit of emotion disappeared.

"Big sister is also here, why don't you come to my sister and me together? I'm still worried that my sister won't be able to come, and my sister shouldn't know anyone here, right? Sister, shall I take my sister shopping? ”

Ming Lanying smiled and didn't speak, and the little sister next to Ming Jiazhen immediately asked.

"Jiazhen, is this your sister?"

"How come we've never met? Haven't heard of you yet? ”

"We should all know about everyone who can come to the Spring Festival? Dare to ask which family my sister is? ”

Ming Lanying took Ning Er's little hand and took it behind her, and directly interrupted the twittering voice with a smile, "Don't blame the sisters, the concubine is from the Ye Commander's Mansion, and the seventeenth sister calls me a big sister, who else can I be?" ”

Ming Jiazhen said that the eldest sister was still led by Ye, and only the waste Ming Lanying of the Ming family who failed to climb the bed.

The little girls who were chattering and lively just now suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at Ming Lanying in disbelief and shock, smiling with eyebrows and eyes, and shouted in their hearts that it was impossible!

Ming Jiazhen spoke out at the right time, "Why don't you tell my sister when my eldest sister comes for the first time, so that my sister can officially introduce me to my sisters." ”

The crane white eyes behind Ming Lanying were about to turn to the sky, but Ming Lanying would rather go up to the sky than let her talk more, otherwise she would bite off Ming Jiazhen.

Ming Lanying tilted her head, as if jokingly, and said: "Seventeenth sister, it's weird, isn't today's Spring Festival banquet organized by the Duchess of Dingguo and Mrs. Yong'anhou?" Naturally, I came to see the two ladies for the first time, and my sister said that she was like the host! ”

In the past two days, I have had an injection in my arm, and I can't move in one arm because of the pain, and the hard typing has affected the only little brain left, and I am going to paddle
