Midsummer is coming, Ye Lingwu has been thinking about the day for a long time, early in the morning, Mama Xuan went to Ye Lingwu's bedroom, and pulled the little girl to sit in front of the dresser and coil her hair.

Ye Lingwu looked at the bronze mirror, watching Mama Xuan coil up the long hair on her back, a pair of wrinkled hands brushed the bangs on her forehead, dipped in the shavings prepared in advance, and combed the bangs, revealing a small face of Peugeot's goose eggs, and the whole person instantly felt a lot of energy.

Mama Xuan picked up a tassel hairpin with red silk agate flowers from the brocade box on the makeup, and gestured twice against the bronze mirror before entering the hairpin.

She looked at the delicate child in the bronze mirror, and was silent for a moment before she was satisfied: "The girl is beautiful, as lovely as your mother." ”

Ye Lingwu smiled faintly: "Mama Xuan laughed at me, how could I have a good-looking mother, when I was a child, people in Yuzhou City talked about my mother and described it as 'stunning'. ”

Mama Xuan nodded in a trance, probably remembering the past, and said: "Your mother is indeed stunning, I remember when I first saw her, I was stunned for a long time, and I was surprised that there was such a beautiful girl in this world." ”

As soon as the words fell, Rong Xiu came over with a lilac wide-sleeved dress, and said happily: "The girl will be a big girl in the future, and this dress can no longer be as childish as before." ”

Mama Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, this will be the big girl from now on." ”

It had already passed when she finished wrapping her hair, and Mama Xuan led Ye Lingwu to the main house.

If the parents are there, the ceremony should be presided over with the parents, and there are a lot of regulations, but Ye Lingwu has no relatives and no reason in the capital, and the regulations are reduced and only the ceremony is left.

The main house was sprinkled and cleaned, and Ye Lingwu slowly stepped forward and raised her arms respectfully towards the old lady Shen who was sitting up.

The onlookers had different expressions. Jiang Lanshu smiled on the surface, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes; Tanchun rolled his eyes several times, and the corners of his mouth twitched down disdainfully; Rongxiu was very happy, the smile on her face never broke, and the other little maidens were beaming, anyway, they joined in the fun.

Mrs. Shen said: "Okay, okay, Ling girl will be a big girl from now on, I remember that I thought about your hairpin when I went to commit the moon, is the hairpin on my head heavy?" Like it or not? ”

"It's not heavy, I like it." The corners of Ye Lingwu's mouth are raised, and his apricot eyes are like crescent moons.

Etiquette, Mrs. Shen withdrew the little envoy, pulled Ye Lingwu and talked for a while, Jiang Lanshu also joined in the fun, and from time to time took a couple of sentences, and was happy.

After a while, the two girls in the second room came. As soon as Jiang Lanshu saw someone, she immediately found an excuse and quit the main house.

"Sister Lingwu is really good-looking today!" Shen Pan'er pulled Ye Lingwu to take a look.

Shen Yue'er echoed: "It's good-looking, and it looks even more beautiful after this hair is coiled." ”

There was laughter and laughter in the room again.

There was nothing to do, a few girls talked and laughed around Mrs. Shen, and before she knew it, Mrs. Shen pinched the hour and entered the side room to chant, and Ye Lingwu was left in the main room, Shen Pan'er, Shen Yue'er, and a few personal envoys talked.

At this moment, a little female envoy came to the courtyard of the second room, saying that a family banquet was set up in Haitang Zhai at noon, and invited Mrs. Shen to come over.

Ye Lingwu felt strange, except for her and Lu today, it was not a special day, why did she suddenly set up a family banquet, so she asked Shen Pan'er.

"Oh, it's not my second brother, he's almost eighteen, and there is not even a roommate in the yard, and my mother is so worried that she almost doubts my second brother's preferences." Shen Pan'er laughed happily, like a festive doll.

Hearing this, the little female envoys also covered their mouths and snickered.

Ye Lingwu was even more curious, and asked, "But what does this have to do with the family banquet?" ”

Shen Paner took a sip of ice cheese and replied leisurely: "Of course it matters, my mother is anxious about my second brother, and now I want to settle his family affairs earlier, no, General Cheng's family returned to Beijing a few days ago, this General Cheng's family has an only daughter Cheng Gukite, my mother liked her a long time ago, and I knew that they would be invited to the house when they returned to Beijing. ”

Ye Lingwu's face turned pale, as if he was drowning in water and couldn't breathe.

The only daughter of General Cheng.

The one who married Shen Ci in the dream was also the daughter of General Cheng.

"Sister Ling Wu, Sister Ling Wu?" Shen Yue'er saw that Ye Lingwu's face was ugly, and the hand on her lap was clenched so tightly that the tips of her fingers turned white, and she called twice with the bowl where she put down the ice cheese.

Ye Lingwu eased up, looked around, and saw that everyone in the room was staring at her, she hurriedly relaxed her tense look and said, "Did the fourth girl tell me something?" ”

“…… It's okay. Shen Yue'er saw that she was absent-minded, so she diverted the topic and said, "Today is just an ordinary family banquet, General Cheng and our family are old friends, and my mother set up a banquet to entertain her, just to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”

Shen Pan'er snorted noncommittally, and continued: "I don't know if it's ordinary, I also saw that Cheng Gu Kite when I was a child, at that time I thought she was a boy, my second brother still called her a brother, and later my second brother learned that she was a girl, and he was so angry that he didn't go out for several days, and he laughed at me, Yue'er also knew that we laughed at the second brother for a long time." ”

Shen Yue'er said helplessly: "That's you laughing, I didn't laugh at the second brother." ”

Cut~ Shen Pan'er pouted.

As soon as noon came, Mrs. Shen, who didn't want to join in the fun, couldn't stand the Zhao family and sent three little female envoys to invite, so she could only lead a few girls in the courtyard to Haitang Zhai.

Along the way, Ye Lingwu was absent-minded.

When I arrived at Haitang Zhai, I heard bursts of talking and laughter coming from inside.

Ye Lingwu helped Mrs. Shen in, and suddenly felt a cool breeze, and before she had time to look at the guests, she first looked at the lacquer-brown wooden barrel containing several large ice cubes in the center of the house, as well as the flower windows that were wide open on all sides, which was very cool.

Because it is a family banquet, there is no distinction between men and women.

The top is empty, and on the left side of the seat is Qin Mingyu, the eldest princess of Jiayi, and today she is still in a golden brocade robe, holding a jade jade handle fan that is also golden.

It was probably because Shen Zhan's trip hadn't slowed down yet, and Qin Mingyu looked at him today who was still sick and didn't say a word.

On the right are a two-room couple dressed as if they were "couples", both dressed in navy blue wide-sleeved brocade, but the styles are very different.

Further down was Shen Ci in a brick-red brocade robe, Ye Lingwu saw him staring at the opposite seat with an ugly expression, and followed his gaze to see a familiar face between the seats on the opposite side.

- The girl who saved the Sixth Princess last time!

Ye Lingwu couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Today's dress is much more gentle and delicate than last time, wearing an emerald green brocade robe, with a crescent moon bun on her head, with a few silver hairpins, simple and elegant without losing color, and the description is also supple, which is completely different from the appearance when she was saved by archery that day.

"Old Lady Shen is here." Cheng Fei made a move, and the Cheng family's mother, Zhang, and the little daughter of the Cheng family on his side also followed suit.

"General Cheng doesn't have to be formal, today is a family banquet." Old Lady Shen walked up with a smile.

After Ye Lingwu finished saluting everyone, he still sat down at the end of the banquet.

The Cheng family has been away from the capital for many years, and although Cheng Fei has made great achievements, he is not as good as other generals who have taken root in the capital, and his family background is inferior to a mountain in the Hou Mansion of Ningbei.

But if you want to talk about why the Zhao family is in the middle of Cheng's old kite, you have to talk about the Cheng family's mother, Zhang.

Zhang's is the eldest daughter of the Luoqing monk in Nanchangshan, the door is clear, and the Zhao family is considered to be the same teacher, and the two were talented women in the capital back then.

The two families have a deep relationship and know the roots, so the Zhao family naturally agrees.
