Chen Chan, Qi Lan and others accompanied Xie Hao'an for a long time in the Yanguo Mansion that day, until night fell and they had dinner in Xie Hao'an's small courtyard before leaving.

After the two of them left, it began to rain heavily, and it did not rain as much in summer as it did in spring, but there were no fewer people who looked forward to it in summer than in spring.

One is because the crops in the field still can't lack water, and the other is because the summer is hot, and a few rains can really cool people.

This rain fell intermittently, and it always rained for several days, until the day when the lord of Nankang County held a tasting party, and the dark clouds dispersed.

Xie Yi and Xie Yihua, the two little girls, under the leadership of the Wei family, came to the mansion of the lord of Nankang with gifts early in the morning.

The clouds cleared and the rain fell, and the water surface of the lake that was drawn down from the mountain in the Nankang County Lord's Mansion increased by a few points and added to the waves.

The pavilions in the distance are taller than usual under the inversion of the lake, and the water makes people feel cooler than usual.

The breeze after the rain is also cooler than at other times, and even the melons after the rain that the lord of Nankang County asked to entertain the guests seem to be sweeter than usual, and the shade of the green trees has been shading the eaves, and under the eaves are rows and rows of wooden frames and long tables, and there are exquisite paintings on the wooden frames and long tables.

The lord of Nankang sat on the rattan mat in the gauze tent set up next to the tree, and the lord of Nankang invited a few friends who had good friends this time, and also invited many noblewomen from prominent families, as well as many young girls, all of whom were obediently sitting beside their parents, wearing light silk summer clothes, holding a fan, quietly enjoying the pleasant summer time.

Yihua ...... Isn't that what this tasting will look like...... So boring...... Look at me...... I see you ......"

Xie Yi also went to the door of the Nankang County Lord for the first time today, and when the Hai clan in the family knew the news, it was almost an order to her to obey the rules, otherwise, when the Hai clan came back from the temple Xie Yi's brother who was too hard and lived under the Buddha's knees, she would feel better.

Therefore, Xie Yi is rare to wear a very decent dress today, and sit next to Xie Yihua and pretend to be a lady with a toothless smile, but this tasting will not start for a long time, which is really too torturous for her, so Xie Yi really couldn't bear to cover his mouth with a fan, and whispered to Xie Yihua on the side.

"No, I heard that there are many interesting links prepared for today's tasting, in addition to looking at paintings, you can also play flying flowers, flower arrangement, painting, and poetry...... It's just that we haven't started yet, we're just too early today......"

Xie Yi sighed helplessly and said to Xie Yihua:

"Hey...... That's still boring...... Just the five buckets of ink in my stomach...... To take it out is to embarrass the family...... I didn't come with you if I knew I would...... I'll just run off and go horseback riding......"

"That's not good, Sister Idean has been saying that she can't get sick for the past few days...... If you don't accompany me, sister, and only my mother will accompany me, then I will also find it very boring......"

"Meaning, sister, you just bear with it, just come to self-cultivation occasionally...... If you tan your skin, you have to be careful that your aunt will settle accounts with you......"

As soon as Xie Yihua mentioned Hai's, Xie Yi sighed helplessly, obviously afraid of his mother's strict control...... Fortunately, now that she has Shang Fang's sword, she really can't do it, just run~

"You're right, then I'll come to self-cultivation occasionally~ However, I still think that the cyan clothes my mother picked out for me don't line me, I still like red clothes, this blue and other elegant colors, still suitable for you~"

After speaking, Xie Yi began to carefully look at Xie Yihua's dress today, Xie Yihua is visible to the naked eye in wearing today, a whole body of clothes cut with light blue fragrant cloud yarn, the clothes are finely embroidered with silver threads and colored threads back and forth to embroider one lifelike orchid after another and a few delicate and lovely butterflies, even the head of black hair is tied up with a few hostas with excellent color but will not look noisy, made into a standard fallen horse bun, and then used a few immortal flowers to tie the head, It seems that Xie Yihua's whole person is very beautiful and refined~

What makes Xie Yi feel like the most is that Xie Yihua's wrist is wearing a string of bracelets made of flowers, although flowers are not a precious thing, not as good as the price of agate jade, but it is better than the ingenuity of the mind, so that people can't take their eyes off it~

"Sister Yihua, you are really good-looking today, next time, I will take you to beat the pills, you have to remember to dress up like this, follow me to dominate the crowd~"

Xie Yihua heard Xie Yi's compliment, lowered his head very embarrassed, and then said:

"Meaning sister will make fun of me, I'm just watching the flowers bloom in the yard, just thinking about what to wear, where is the meaning sister, you have a good demeanor~"

"Okay, okay, don't be humble to me, you and my father are brothers, born a little similar, and all of them are first-class beautiful men, you and I are also cousins, we are also good-looking, what is there to be humble~"

"Anyway, the two of us look better than the one sitting across from us, so what about wearing gold and silver......," Xie Yi seemed to see someone he didn't like, and then said.

Xie Yihua heard the voice of his good sister suddenly gritting her teeth, so she followed Xie Yi's gaze and saw that Yu Ling, who had almost had a falling out with them last time, was sitting opposite them with a smile at the moment.

Xie Yihua was obviously also surprised by Yu Ling, but she was not surprised by Yu Ling's appearance, after all, Yu Ling's identity was there, no matter what she said, she was the nephew and daughter-in-law of the lord of Nankang, and it was expected that she appeared here.

What amazed Xie Yihua was Yu Ling's outfit today, Yu Ling obviously learned the lesson of the last time today, and did not appear at the banquet at the host's house in white again, but attended in full costume...... It's just that this is really too grand, and it has a vague meaning of covering the limelight of the master's house......

Just look, Yu Ling today wore a dress woven with rose-red flowers, and the dress embroidered one after another with a large number of gold and silver threads and colored threads and rich peonies as floral patterns, not to mention, Yu Ling is still in such a gorgeous coat today, wearing a pearl shawl made of white pearls and jade with excellent color, which looks very extravagant, plus Yu Ling's head today wears a complete set of pure gold gemstone head and the pair of mandarin duck gold bracelets on his hand, Almost all the attention of the audience was attracted to her, and people couldn't help but misunderstand that she was the host of today's banquet......

But in fact, even if her dress is so luxurious, even if it is noticeable, it will not make everyone think that she wants to steal the limelight of the master's family, after all, it is normal for young people to love to dress up, and they can't always let young people take the so-called dignified and calm route like middle-aged people......

It's just that Yu Ling actually wore clothes of the same color and pattern with the lord of Nankang County today, which is not a coincidence of contrasting colors, but Yu Ling's intention, after all, every host who wants to hold a banquet is afraid of being dominated by the noise and the embarrassing incident of color collision.

Therefore, a few days before the feast begins, the host will decide the color or pattern of the clothes they are wearing, and then ask them to tell the news to the people who have come to inquire, and then send their subordinates to reveal the news to those who have not come to inquire......

Therefore, people who know the news, but if they have a little eyesight, they will take the initiative to avoid wearing clothes of the same color as the host's family, even if it is the same color, they will try to choose a relatively simple pattern to avoid such a thing......

No one knows what Yu Ling thinks, perhaps trying to create the illusion of being like a mother and daughter...... But I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and the most jaw-dropping thing is that the same dress is the same dress, what is the matter with the patterns and headdresses and materials used in your clothes that are more exquisite than the owner's house?

People wear silver thread and color thread into ingots and peonies, you want to use gold thread, people wear cloud brocade shawls, you want to wear pearl shawls, people wear gold headdresses, you have to wear heads made of gold and rubies...... What do you think......

is as close as a mother and daughter, how can it be such a practice......

Xie Yihua and many guests reacted the same, after seeing Yu Ling's outfit, he immediately subconsciously looked at today's master, the lord of Nankang, sure enough, not surprisingly, although the lord of Nankang is still smiling at the moment, but the smile does not reach the bottom of his eyes, and the fan in his hand is trembling inexplicably...... After looking closely, I found that the green tendons on the hands of the lord of Nankang jumped up, and the fan ...... was almost crushed by the lord of Nankang......

"Today, I got a few good paintings, and I specially invite you to come and taste them, everyone, you can speak freely today, don't worry about me."

"The paintings are hanging on the bookshelf under the shade of the trees, and there are a few long scrolls on the long table, those paintings, some are from the hands of famous artists, and some of the hands of some unknown painters I personally like, you are at will~" Perhaps sensing that more and more eyes were focused on his body, the lord of Nankang County hurriedly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then adjusted his emotions. He said to everyone in a gentle tone.

Everyone naturally understood the mood of the Nankang County Lord, and hurriedly stood up, thanked the Nankang County Lord for his kindness, and walked outside in pairs......

But everyone was very tacit and avoided Yu Ling, Yu Ling didn't know why, but felt quite embarrassed, so, after scanning around the crowd, he saw the figure of the Xie family's sisters, and remembered the conversation between Qi Lan and his father-in-law that he overheard a few days ago, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Xie Yi and Xie Yihua......

"Sister Xie, wait, wait......"

Xie Yi and Xie Yihua heard this obscure voice, and they sighed in their hearts, so they had to pretend not to hear it and continue to walk outside, but unexpectedly, Yu Ling took three steps and two steps, ran in front of them, and said:

"Sister Xie, why do you ignore me~ But I was annoyed by my unintentional mistake last time......"

"Actually...... I'm very embarrassed, I really don't mean anything...... If the two sisters are still angry with me...... You might as well hit me a few times to get angry......"

Xie Yi and Xie Yihua both rolled their eyes in their hearts, and were about to say something, but the two sisters were pulled behind them by the Wei family on the side, just look, Wei used the posture of an eagle to protect the chicken to block Xie Yi and Xie Yihua, and then said to Yu Ling:

"Mrs. Yu Sanshao, what do you mean by this, my daughter and my niece are very afraid of life, you have only met once, and you don't get along very well, so it's better to keep a distance...... We are not the stingy people, and we won't care so much about you, it's just that Mrs. Yu Sanshao and us are not all the way, so it's better to have less contact......"

"Otherwise, the tasting banquet carefully prepared by the county lord was accidentally ruined by Mrs. Yu Sanshao, how bad it is......"

Xie Yi and Xie Yihua stood behind Wei's family, obviously they didn't expect that Wei's family, who was so grumpy at home, would be able to poke someone's lung tube so dignified and decent, and silently praised Wei's in their hearts.

When Yu Ling heard these words, he was also very angry, but he didn't dare to attack because of the occasion, so he continued:

"Yes, yes...... It's all my fault...... It's all my bad ......."

"Last time, I didn't know the identities of the girls...... Unexpectedly, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family~"

"Hey...... I really didn't expect that Mrs. Yu Sanshao would be so ...... It's so informal...... Hehe...... "The Wei clan obviously understands the relationship between Qi Lan and this Shouguang Prince's Mansion...... Where did you really come from...... In the eyes of their Xie family, Qi Lan is Qi Lan, and Shouguang Wangye's Mansion is Shouguang Wangye's Mansion...... How can it be mixed up......

Therefore, when the Wei clan was about to say to Yu Ling: "Stinky and shameless", he hurriedly remembered that he was now in public, so he immediately racked his brains, changed the word, and said through gritted teeth.

Yu Ling obviously understood the meaning of Wei's words, but she said this at the moment with another purpose, so Yu Ling did not stop at the moment, but continued:

"Yes, yes, what Mrs. Xie said is really right, I am just informal, what do I say, after all, good things are coming to our two families, so ...... The family will not talk to the two families......"

"What? Didn't Mrs. Yu Sanshao eat wine today...... What nonsense......" Wei obviously didn't expect this to happen, so he immediately said suspiciously.

Seeing that the eyes of the people around him immediately focused on this, Yu Ling immediately smiled proudly, and then, pretending to be surprised, said:

"Ah~ Mrs. Xie doesn't know yet~ I heard my father-in-law and my second uncle discussing this matter a few days ago~"

"It seems that Grandpa Yan Guo looked for my second uncle two days ago, and he deliberately ......"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Mrs. Yu Sanshao didn't listen to it! Such nonsense! The third young husband Yu has no shelter! Our girl from the Xie family still needs to be faced! Wei interrupted Yu Ling's words angrily.

"I heard it right, but I heard my second uncle and my father-in-law say that he was loyal to ......" Yu Ling's words were not finished, and he was interrupted again, but this time it was not the Wei clan that interrupted him, but the lord of Nankang who heard the sound!

Just look, the lord of Nankang came over with a bunch of maids and servants, and after hearing what Yu Ling said, he immediately rushed forward and personally rewarded Yu Ling with a big-eared melon seed, and then, under the surprised eyes of Yu Ling and everyone, he scolded sharply:

"In my house, how much wine is eaten! Dare to say anything! ”

"If you dare to say some unfounded things in my mansion again, you will insult the lintel of my Qi family and the Yanguo Mansion, don't blame me for not thinking about relatives!"

"Auntie...... Auntie, you Mingjian, what I said is true, it is the grandfather of Yan Guo who is in a hurry to ...... his family's grandson."

"Ahh Yu Ling wanted to say something more, but he was rewarded with a big-eared scraper by the lord of Nankang County, this time, he used ruthless efforts to fan Yu Ling directly to the ground, not to mention, Yu Ling also shouted out in pain.

"Grandpa Yanguo's beautiful and beautiful people, what decision he makes, it must have been carefully considered! And someone like you can blame? "The lord of Nankang obviously knew that Grandpa Yan wanted to throw an olive branch to Qi Lan, so he said very angrily at this moment.

Immediately, the lord of Nankang County looked at the three members of the Xie family who were pale, hurriedly, stepped forward, took Wei's hand and said:

"Fourth Madam Xie, don't be angry, you are an ignorant person, talking nonsense, and please let Fourth Madam Xie dissipate your anger, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter, and you must not let Grandpa Guo and Duchess Guogong mess up their minds for this kind of villain."

Wei's face was not good, even if it was the county lord opposite at this moment, he didn't want to give her any face, but at this moment, Xie Yihua and Xie Yi, the two little girls, immediately glanced at each other behind them, and then, Xie Yi first stepped forward and said:

"The county lord is polite, our Xie family naturally understands the meaning of the county lord's mother, and naturally there will be a dislike just because of the words of Mrs. Yu Sanshao......

"Yes, although my grandfather didn't want others to know so quickly that he was going to personally host a birthday banquet for my grandmother this year, and even, so early, he started sending invitations to everyone...... But since ...... Today, Mrs. Yu Sanshao made such a fuss...... I had to let my grandmother know as soon as possible that my grandfather had prepared a ...... for her."

"Miss Xie, listening to what you said, what did the third young lady Yu say just now, what did the second son of Qi do, and what did he say, he was talking about Yan Guogong's preparation for the birthday of the Duchess of Yan Guo?" Someone questioned.

"That's natural, my grandfather has always been in a hurry with my grandmother's affairs, Qi Ergongzi is the righteous son of my grandfather and grandmother, this time, represented by Qi Ergongzi and my uncles and uncles, it is understandable to go to Zhong Nanshan to welcome back my grandfather's birthday gift for our Xie family......" Xie Yihua turned around, looked at the person who questioned, and said firmly.

"Yes, my father and grandfather have long had this intention, but this has always been a family affair of my Xie family, I didn't expect that everyone would know today~ I'm really sorry for you~" Xie Yi immediately continued.

"Yes, yes, my husband has already been preparing to take leave from the court at home, so that he can go to Zhong Nanshan to welcome back my mother-in-law's birthday gift and talk about filial piety, but I didn't think that this matter would let Mrs. Yu Sanshao know, and there was such a big misunderstanding." Wei immediately echoed.

After speaking, Wei Shi glanced at Yu Ling on the ground again, straightened his waist and continued:

"No matter how poor our Xie family is, it is also a scholarly family~ Invite someone to attend my mother-in-law's birthday banquet, that is to share this happiness with everyone...... Not really...... Need to rush someone to join the ......"

The lord of Nankang knew that he was at a loss, so he had to look at Yu Ling on the ground fiercely, and then said with a smile:

"Grandpa Yan Guo does things for the country, hard work and high achievements, this year, the birthday banquet of the Duchess of Yan Guo must be a cloud of guests~"

"Thank you for the good words of the county lord's mother, if my mother-in-law knew the words of the county lord's mother, she would definitely be very happy."

"Yes, thank you for the auspicious words of the county lord's mother, this year, my grandmother's birthday, I must invite the county lord's mother to come to the door~ My grandmother often mentions the character and demeanor of the county lord at home, which makes my generation yearn for it~" Xie Yihua looked at his mother, who was a little floating, and hurriedly pulled Wei's sleeve, and then stepped forward and said.

"Yes, everyone is also coming to my grandmother's banquet~" Xie Yi also said to the people around him.

Everyone saw that they also had the opportunity to participate in the birthday banquet of the Yan Guogong Mansion, and they could get a chance to get close to Yan Guogong and Xie Chengxiang, and hurriedly smiled and said Okay, although their own family is also a wealthy dignitary, but who doesn't want to let their family have a chance to go to the next level~

Seeing that everyone's attention was not on what her stupid nephew and daughter-in-law said, the lord of Nankang hurriedly continued to change the topic and invited everyone to look at the painting~

And today, the lord of Nankang County invited people who were good friends with his family or respected each other, and naturally there were no people who didn't know how to see the field, and they all followed the words of the lord of Nankang County and continued to go outside to see the painting......

Even the Wei family took the two little girls, Xie Yi and Xie Yihua, to go and watch the paintings, leaving the scene to the lord of Nankang and Yu Ling......

After watching everyone leave, the Lord of Nankang directly pointed to Yu Ling's nose and said:

"No one has come to gag her mouth yet! Something that is not enough to achieve and more to lose! ”

"Auntie! You're mistaken, I just made a mistake unintentionally......"

The lord of Nankang looked at Yu Ling, who still wanted to quibble, and directly snorted coldly and said:

"Humph! I am the daughter of the Shouguang Prince's Mansion, my father and the first emperor's mother, I have been deeply favored by the first emperor since I was a child, I grew up in the deep palace, what conspiracy I have not seen! ”

"What! Do you think you can hide the past under my nose with this trick? ”

"It's just eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, seeing that my brother is not good to me, and I want to come back to my brother to rely on, and my brother doesn't agree, you want to ruin my brother, such a good abacus ......"

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you clowns get anything......"

"Take it down! Don't let her come out to meet anyone, and then invite my brother over!" I'm going to have to talk to him about it......"

After speaking, the lord of Nankang coldly asked Yu Ling to be gagged and taken down...... Immediately, he put on a proper smile again and slowly walked towards the place where the scroll was......
