There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 721

[Chapter 721, Yao Mozi (two in one chapter)]

front of the gate of the princess’ mansion, there is an endless stream of horses and chariots.

After the female family members got off the carriage, they had to say hello to those they knew well, and they had to say hello to those they didn’t know well. In this way, the entrance was a bit crowded.

While everyone was exchanging greetings, Han Xinran helped Mrs. Li get out of the carriage, and after the four Daohua sisters got off the carriage at the back, she took the initiative to lead Mrs. Li and the others towards a familiar house nearby.

She knew that the Yan family was unfamiliar with the relationships in the capital, and this was the time for her to show her worth.

Fortunately, although the Earl of Zhaode’s Mansion has declined in recent years, she has participated in various banquets in the name of the eldest daughter of the Earl’s Mansion, and met many female relatives in the capital. Several.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Han Xinran found that as they approached, the discussion crowd seemed to be silent for a while, and she, who was busy introducing her husband’s family, didn’t think much, and smiled and started a fight with the familiar wives and girls. hello.

In Beijing, a place full of nobles and complex interpersonal relationships, the female family members of each family have always been decent and courteous outside, and they will not easily offend others. For the Yan family who has just entered Beijing, they have given enough face.

So, one introduced the other, and after a while, Mrs. Li got to know all the wives in front of the door.

Daohua and Yan Yihuan also greeted each other with the young ladies.

Dao Hua chose to ignore the eyes that kept falling on her body, and stood quietly and obediently behind Mrs. Li and Han Xinran, acting like a lady.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my princess has been waiting for a long time, hurry up and enter the mansion with your servants.”

The maids of the princess mansion came out to welcome them, and everyone followed the maids into the gate.

After entering the backyard of the Princess Mansion, Han Xinran was surprised to find that the silence in the crowd just now was not her illusion.

At this moment, the wives and girls from the various families who came to the princess mansion first became quiet and looked up at them.

Han Xinran wondered, there was no one with a particularly high status among them, why did they attract everyone’s attention?

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Han Xinran saw Daohua who was walking a step behind, and his heart skipped a beat.

How could she have forgotten that there is a topical character with a good status and good looks in the family?

Before, she was all focused on the performance at the banquet, and didn’t pay much attention to the dresses of the younger sisters. Now that she looked carefully, she realized that today’s eldest sister is extraordinarily fresh and elegant.

The sky blue embroidered green calyx plum cross-neck vest, light green plain thin brocade jacket, make the big sister with firm muscles more elegant and pleasing to the eye; the white embroidered blue girdle just rightly outlines her slender waist, making it more attractive slim.

The pure white gauze skirt was moving, the hem was moving slightly, and the blue wishful palace sash was faintly visible as it moved. Looking around, the whole person was indescribably elegant and refined.

Han Xinran suddenly thought of the surprise in her eyes when she first saw her eldest sister. She was still dressed in her homely clothes. Today, she went out as a guest and tidied things up carefully.

Daohua noticed that Han Xinran was looking at her, blinked at her, and asked her if there was anything wrong with her eyes.

The penetrating eye wave, the sweet smile.

Han Xinran’s expression froze, and he quickly looked away. He secretly called out a monster in his heart, why didn’t she realize that her eldest sister was so attractive before?

After Daohua and others walked through the yard, the people in the yard began to discuss again.

“Whose family is the girl in blue just now? Why haven’t I seen it before?”

“I heard that she is the eldest daughter of the new Household Minister, Mrs. Yan’s family.”

“Huh? Is it the Shengping County Lord appointed by the emperor?”

” Yes, that’s her.”

“This Shengping county magistrate is really good-looking.”

“Isn’t it? When I walked in just now, I just felt that my eyes lit up.”

Main courtyard.

Princess Huijia was sitting at the main seat in the living room, chatting and laughing with some noble wives and wives. When the maid led the new guest in, she was about to greet her, but her eyes fell on the blue On the shadow.

Not only the eldest princess, but all the ladies in the room looked over.

What a beauty!

Princess Huijia greeted everyone cordially, and greeted everyone to sit down. Then she looked at Mrs. Li who led Han Xinran and the four Daohua sisters forward.   After exchanging a few words with Mrs. Li, Princess Huijia

looked at Daohua with a smile: “This is the Lord of Shengping County, right?

”

The eldest princess raised her hand to signal Daohua to get up, then looked at Daohua with a smile, and thought to herself, this Shengping county lord is really good-looking, she has countless girls, and there is no one who can really stand out among the bright and delicate makeup. There are not many, but this county lord of Shengping can be counted as one.

Some girls are stunning but not attractive, and some girls are attractive but not amazing enough. This Shengping county lord is both amazing and attractive.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Han Xinran, Daohua and Yan Yihuan greeted the other wives present, and then sat down at the lower end, watching the people in the room silently, and informed Zhao Yongwang of the news , and the news I heard from my sister-in-law, bit by bit I checked with these people.

Although she doesn’t like this kind of socializing, she has to be aware of the personnel relations of various officials and nobles in the capital.

In the next room, Kang Naixin was in charge of greeting the ladies from all the families. When he knew that the emperor’s newly named Shengping County Lord had arrived, he immediately pulled his good friend Wu Xirong over to have a look: “The one in blue is the Shengping County Lord.”

Wu Xirong looked indifferently . Daohua , who was drinking tea, said lightly: “She looks okay.”

Kang Naixin asked curiously, “Why did you keep asking about her before?”

Wu Xirong sighed: “It’s not my second brother, this morning When going out, he pulled me aside and told me to take care of the young lady of the Yan family.”

Kang Naixin’s eyes widened: “What’s going on? Your family has nothing to do with the Yan family!”

Wu Xirong shrugged: “How do I know, but recently my second brother and the third and fourth sons of the Yan family have been getting along quite well. It’s close, maybe it’s because of this reason.”

Daohua noticed that someone was looking at her, turned her head to look over, saw two girls, smiled and nodded, and then looked away.

This sudden look back and smile made Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong a little dazed.

After a while, Kang Naixin said tut-tsk: “No wonder the man in the story book did a lot of ridiculous things in order to make the beauty smile. If it were me, I would do it too.”

Wu Xirong glanced at her friend speechlessly.

Time slipped away amidst everyone’s chatting and laughing, and soon, at noon, the servants of the Princess’s Mansion began to decorate the dining room.

At this moment, a servant girl came to report that people from Dingguo and Cheng’en’s mansions had arrived.

Hearing the people from the Guo family and the Jiang family coming, Daohua couldn’t help cheering up. At this moment, voices came from her ears.

“It’s really strange this time, these two families got together!”

Daohua turned her head, and found that the two girls who were looking at her just now sat down next to her at some point.

Talking continues.

Kang Naixin: “After the Jiang family was rejected by the Guo family, the two families were quite incompatible. Whenever they got together at a banquet, they would choke on each other.”

Wu Xirong: “It is understandable that the Guo family would hate the Jiang family, because Jiang Well, Guo Xueming hasn’t settled on a marriage until now, she is older than us.”

Kang Naixin lowered her voice: “You don’t know that, if the Guo family really wants to get married, there must be someone who is willing, I hear My mother said that the Guo family fell in love with Xiao Yeyang, and that’s why they haven’t engaged Guo Xueming for a long time.”

Wu Xirong was stunned, and then said: “Xiao Yeyang has been back to Beijing for a long time, and now the Guo family has There hasn’t been any news yet, I’m afraid Xiao Yeyang is unwilling?”

Kang Naixin nodded: “Nine times out of ten.”

Wu Xirong smiled: “I heard that Jiang Wanying also loves Xiao Yeyang, and today the two families got together again, so please don’t fight.”

Kang Naixin snorted “They don’t dare. Today is my mother’s birthday. If they dare to make trouble like in other mansions, don’t think that my eldest princess’s mansion is easy to bully.”

Wu Xirong smiled: “The emperor values the eldest princess, so they are naturally Don’t dare.”

While speaking, the female relatives of Duke Cheng’en’s Mansion and Duke Dingguo’s Mansion arrived.

Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong were discussing Guo Xueming and Jiang Wanying’s attire today, and suddenly found that Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Jiang’s Second Mrs. Qi were looking towards them.

Kang Naixin: “Have you heard what we said?”

Wu Xirong shook her head: “They are not looking at us.” The

two followed the gazes of the two wives of Guo and Jiang, and found that they were looking at the county magistrate of Shengping next to them.

As for the county lord Shengping, he was still eating melon seeds calmly.

“It turned out to be Mrs. Yan. I thought you would stay in Zhongzhou forever. After all, Mrs. Yan lost all the general rations before. This is a big mistake.”

After meeting with Princess Huijia, Jiang Er The madam turned on Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li frowned, knowing that it was not the time to compromise, she smiled and went back to the past: “The loss of military rations has already been found out. It is someone with ulterior motives who framed my master regardless of the righteousness of the country. This matter has already been reported to the court. The imperial court has also issued instructions, so I won’t bother Mrs. Jiang.”

Mrs. Jiang sneered, “I haven’t seen you for a long time, but Mrs. Yan is much tougher than when she was in Zhongzhou.”

Mrs. Li said lightly: “Mrs. Jiang It hasn’t changed much from when I was in Zhongzhou.”

Second Madam Jiang’s complexion darkened, and she wanted to say something, but was stopped by Madam Jiang.

Today is Princess Huijia’s birthday, they don’t have to give face to others, but they have to give face to this one.

Second Madam Jiang reluctantly closed her mouth, and gave Madam Li and Daohua a cold look.

Mrs. Guo glanced at the Yan family. Although she was very annoyed, she did not follow the Jiang family to attack at this time. However, when she saw the agate ring on Daohua’s left hand, her eyes sank directly.

Kang Naixin, who saw everyone’s expressions in his eyes, said to Wu Xirong in a low voice: “Now I know why your second brother asked you to take care of the Lord of Shengping County. The Yan family, the Jiang family, and the Guo family are not dealing with it.”

Wu Xirong nodded , she also saw this.

Everyone in the room was still chatting and laughing, Mrs. Jiang stabbed Mrs. Li from time to time, but Mrs. Li blocked them back.

Who doesn’t have two or three rivals?

Although everyone was curious that the Yan family had offended the Jiang family, they had no intention of causing trouble, and watched with the mentality of watching a drama.

When it was almost time for dinner, the servants came to report that Princess Lekang and several princes and concubines had arrived, and they were accompanied by the emperor’s reward.

This time, Princess Huijia stood up to greet her in person, and the other ladies in the room also stood up.

Daohua stood in the crowd, looked up at Princess Lekang and several concubines.

Princess Lekang is the empress’s daughter, the emperor’s only legitimate daughter, she is bright and pretty, and when one stands there, she is radiant, graceful and luxurious.

Several princes and concubines are also rare beauties, either dignified, elegant, or bright, each with its own characteristics.

Princess Lekang and several concubines greeted Princess Huijia, and then Princess Lekang signaled the eunuch behind him to take out the emperor’s reward.

This is a pink birthday peach made of colored glaze. It is almost a foot wide at its widest point. It is made lifelike and particularly eye-catching.

The most rare thing is that this is a reward from the emperor, which proves that the emperor values it.

Princess Huijia thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then let the maid take the birthday peach. After returning to the house and sitting down again, she couldn’t put it down to watch it.

The people around are all discerning, and congratulatory words are spoken out like money.

“This Liuli birthday peach is so beautiful, that is, only the Liuli Factory in Kyoto can make it.”

The eldest princess Huijia saw the envy in the eyes of everyone, and she was very pleased. After admiring it herself, she generously asked the maid to take it Go down and give those present a close-up reward.

Everyone was very happy and rushed to watch.

After a while, Princess Huijia saw that it was getting late, so she smiled and said: “Everyone should be hungry, let’s go eat first, and come back to enjoy after eating.”

Daohua didn’t like the glazed longevity peaches bestowed by the emperor Interested, when Princess Huijia said that it was time to eat, she looked at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li didn’t want to stay in the house any longer, so she got up and walked out with the Yan family members.

However, at this time, it was discovered by accident.

Seeing the maid who bumped into her and threw the glazed longevity peach out of her hand, Daohua sighed, she knew that this kind of banquet would not end without some trouble.

“Ah~”

The people in the room exclaimed, and Princess Huijia stood up suddenly, her face full of nervousness. This is a reward from the emperor, and breaking it into pieces is a great disrespect to the emperor.

Just before the Liuli Shoutao hit the ground, a light green embroidered shoe stretched out to catch the Shoutao, and then, the embroidered shoe lifted up, kicking the Liuli Shoutao into the air.

Shoutao flew into the air, and Daohua spun around and came to the bottom of Shoutao. When Shoutao fell again, she firmly caught it in her hand.

“Huh~”

Everyone in the room let out a sigh of relief.

“Eldest princess!”

Daohua came to Princess Huijia holding the glazed longevity peach in both hands, blessed her body with a smile, and handed the longevity peach to her.

Princess Huijia glanced at the nurse behind her, and the nurse hurried forward to take the birthday peach.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on Daohua.

Just now, Daohua raised her legs and turned her body, which was done smoothly and in one go. It didn’t make people feel indecent at all, but it was extraordinarily pleasing to the eye.

Princess Lekang and several princes and concubines were also looking at Daohua, especially Princess Lekang, after seeing the agate ring on Daohua’s left hand, her expression moved even more.

Princess Huijia looked at Daohua with a smile: “It was really thanks to Shengping you just now.”

Daohua smiled and said, “Princess, you are welcome.” As she said, she blessed her body, turned around and stepped back, and walked past Mrs. Guo At that time, she stopped, “Ma’am, don’t stretch your legs indiscriminately in the future, it’s always bad to trip someone up.”

Shoutao is really about to break, this crime must fall on her head, who told her to do that’ Coincidentally, I collided with the maid who was carrying birthday peaches.

As soon as these words came out, the room was completely quiet, and everyone looked at Mrs. Guo.

The smile on Mrs. Guo’s face instantly froze, and she looked at Daohua coldly.

Seeing Guo Xueming, she stood up and looked at Daohua with an angry face: “Miss Yan, you can’t talk nonsense.”

Daohua smiled and looked at Guo Xueming: “I know this, of course Miss Guo wants to tell me to take out the money.” Evidence?”

Guo Xueming frowned.

Dao Hua took a step closer, and said in a low voice, “Can I tell you about the patterns and styles of Mrs. Guo’s embroidered shoes today?”

Guo Xueming looked over abruptly.

Daohua sneered, thinking that the Guo family was Xiao Yeyang’s uncle’s family, and not wanting to make things too ugly, she quickly returned to Mrs. Li and helped her out of the house.

Princess Huijia glanced at Mrs. Guo’s mother and daughter, and said lightly: “Let’s go eat too.”

Kang Naixin, who was walking behind, pulled Wu Xirong: “I think it seems that the Lord of Shengping County doesn’t need your care, I see She is quite powerful in fighting, and the sharp turn she made just now makes her look like Lian Jiazi.”

Wu Xirong nodded, with a face of approval: “I see it too.”
