MTL - Kunning-Chapter 10 You Fangyin

The banquet for appreciating chrysanthemums in the Qingyuan uncle's mansion will be held tomorrow, and after getting Jiang Xuening's "go", Tang'er drew up a reply and sent it to the Qingyuan uncle's mansion. After all, the invitation is just an invitation, not everyone who receives the invitation will go, if you reply to the host, you can arrange it in advance on the day of the banquet.

It's just that Yan Lin found out about this incident.

At the end of the day's lecture, he and Shen Jie went out of the palace and made tea in Shen Jie's mansion. His face was dark and handsome, and he lost his temper: "I asked her if she would like to see the Lantern Festival on September 9th, but she wouldn't go; Chrysanthemum appreciation on the Double Ninth Festival, she hastened to go. Qingyuan uncle's mansion is so poorly settled, is she trying to anger me!"

It's not easy for Shen Jie to intervene in the matter of the children, so she just looks at him.

Yan Lin couldn't think about it, but he still had a taste in his heart.

As soon as the teacup was picked up, it couldn't drink, so it was put back.

He frowned and called: "Qingfeng! You go back to the mansion to see if we have any invitation cards for Qingyuan uncle's mansion in our mansion. If there are any, please reply to the invitation card, and I will go there when the time comes. If not, no There must be! Just take my name card and hand it over, how dare you stop me outside the door?"

Qing Feng hesitated for a moment, and carefully reminded: "But my son, Cheng Guogong's mansion also sent a note, if you go to the Qingyuan uncle's mansion by then..."

The Xiao clan in Chengguo Duke's Mansion is the only big clan in Beijing that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yan clan.

More than 20 years ago, the two families had relatives by marriage.

But now...

Yan Lin sneered: "Duke Cheng's mansion is for the adults to feast together, and the juniors are just for company, and our Yongyi Hou's mansion and Cheng Guo's mansion have long since died of old age. What's so strange if I don't go? What are you talking about?" , go quickly."

Qing Feng didn't dare to say much, he just asked: "Then do you want to tell the second girl?"

Yan Lin said sullenly: "I won't tell. I want to see. When she sees me, she can find out some perfunctory nonsense!"

Shen Jie laughed at him: "You have such a temper."

But after finishing speaking, after careful consideration, he said: "Since that's the case, I will also accompany you to the Qingyuan uncle's mansion to join in the fun."

Yan Lin looked at him with raised eyebrows.

However, Shen Jie drank tea slowly and explained: "You also know the recent rumors in the palace that the emperor wants to make me the emperor's younger brother. When I came out of the Wenhua Palace today, Mr. Xie nodded and said The words of people in the court are terrible, even if I have a clear conscience, it is best to distance myself from Mrs. Xiao recently."

Chengguo Duke's Mansion is also the Xiao family, which is the mother family of the current Empress Dowager and also the family of the current Holy Majesty.

Shen Jie and Shen Lang are brothers from the same mother, so the Holy Majesty's natal family is naturally also his natal family.

It's just that the timing is really special now.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and the Xiao family is very powerful. Although it is rumored that the emperor wants to make him the emperor's younger brother, but he is getting close to the Xiao family, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion and suspicion of the emperor.

Yan Lin lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment: "Mr. Xie is willing to guide you."

Shen Jie didn't care about it, he just said: "Sir, you have the air of a gentleman and the legacy of a sage, you are good to everyone."

The fact that the Chengguo Mansion and the Qingyuan Uncle Mansion both posted invitations to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in Chongyang has already spread quietly among the high-ranking families in Beijing. .

Without him, the Xiao family is too prominent.

The family is not very high, and they are eager to climb;

The family status itself is high enough, and I can't look down on the dilapidated settlement of the Qingyuanbo Mansion.

So even though they felt that this matter refuted You Fu's face, many people had to find an excuse, and they didn't even bother to find an excuse, so they rejected Qingyuan Bo's House.

Everyone guessed that few people would go to the Bofu this time.

But no one expected that in the afternoon, there would be news that the Young Master of the Yongyihou Mansion and His Royal Highness the Prince of Linzi had replied to the post, and they would go to the Qingyuan uncle's mansion together for a banquet tomorrow!

For a moment, everyone's jaw dropped.

Lianbo's mansion was in a daze, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: Do we have friendship with Yongyihou's mansion? Who knows Xiao Houye? Which one caught up with His Royal Highness Linzi? Did you say a few words? Why did someone come here for no reason?

But then comes ecstasy.

Originally, on the day when He Chengguo's mansion had a banquet, they were filled with fear and embarrassment. The replies they received these days were few and far between, let alone a few, and half of them were polite refusals.

Everyone here in Youfu can already feel the bleak scene of tomorrow's banquet.

But suddenly it was said that His Royal Highness Prince Linzi and Lord Xiaohou were coming. This was really great news that fell from the sky. You must know that the identities of these two masters are second to none in the entire capital!

The whole family immediately cheered up.

In the evening, it was probably the news that Yan Lin and Shen Jie were coming tomorrow, and all kinds of replies and invitations flew towards Qingyuan uncle's mansion like a snowflake.

Originally, they prepared to leave the table, but they thought it was too much.

But I didn't expect to pick it up with an abacus, it was not enough!

So they got together all night, and the courtyard in the mansion was brightly lit all night, for fear that if they were not ready, they would treat the distinguished guests slowly tomorrow.

You Fu's two concubine ladies, the eldest lady is called You Shuang, and the second lady is called You Yue.

The two sisters are both above average in appearance.

When the servants said that the king of Linzi and the young master were coming, both of them opened their eyes wide and covered their lips with their hands in shock.

The servant's face was full of joy, and he only said to the two of them: "Uncle told me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the eldest lady and the second lady should get ready and dress up beautifully."

This sentence is reserved.

But You Shuang and You Yue both understood, their faces blushed slightly, but they said in their mouths: "Father is really troublesome, such an important banquet, we sisters will naturally not lose the dignity of the uncle's house."

The servants said "yes" repeatedly.

You Shuang thought about it but felt that it was unusual.

Her face was colder, and she only frowned and thought: "It's really strange, when did our uncle's mansion climb up to the Yongyihou's mansion? I have never heard of any friendship between the brothers and the young master and His Royal Highness Linzi. How do you say it today?" come?"

And the reply time is too late.

It seems to be a temporary decision.

You Yue is overjoyed.

She looks richer and younger, and she looks very delicate in a goose yellow dress.

Hearing her sister's words, she didn't care much: "Sister is just supercilious, why don't you just think about it on the spur of the moment? It is said that the Xiao family and the Yan family are at odds, and the son of Yan may be deliberately trying to save the Duke of Cheng's face. That's why I came."

It's not impossible.

But…

"It's just to save face for Duke Cheng's mansion, so it's fine if you don't go, how can you get the turn to save face for our uncle's mansion?" You Shuang is an older sister, and she has learned a lot from her mother, so she always thinks about it. Deeper, he asked the servant, "Let me ask you, before Shizi Yan and His Highness Linzi's reply came, who else said they would come?"

The servant counted with his fingers: "Before the son and His Highness, the reply said that there were not many people coming, and the total was Shangshanbo Mansion, Yushitai Zhou Mansion, oh, there was Jiang Shilang's mansion in the morning. Second girl!"

You Shuang couldn't help but frowned: "Miss Jiang Er..."

God knows, the post from Bo's house to Jiang Shilang's house was out of courtesy, and they were not familiar with Jiang Xuening.

It's normal for Jiang Xuehui to come.

But when Jiang Xuening came, she was just as strange as Prince Yan and King Linzi, and she was still before these two masters...

But You Yue was too lazy to think so much, when she heard the word "Second Miss Jiang", she immediately scoffed, showing disgust: "It's a great thing that Prince Yan is coming, but I didn't expect this country girl to come too, Added to the bad luck!"

You Shuang felt that something was wrong and didn't answer.

When You Yue talked about Jiang Xuening, she thought of another person she hated, so she lifted her chin and told the servants: "By the way, since we have a distinguished guest tomorrow, please show me that hoof and lock it in the firewood room. Don't call it a collision with a nobleman."

Jiang Xuening was in the mansion, so she didn't know how long a series of reactions would be elicited because she decided to go to the Qingyuan uncle's mansion banquet on a temporary basis, and she didn't know that Yan Lin and Shen Jie were going.

She had a headache thinking about You Fangyin.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I was in a daze all day long, and I didn't have much energy.

When Mrs. Meng heard that she was going to Qingyuan uncle's mansion instead of Cheng Guogong's mansion, she didn't ask too much.

Jiang Xuening thought to herself that she might be relieved.

After all, she was going to the banquet at Duke Cheng's mansion, and if she brought Jiang Xuehui to be dignified, virtuous and general, she had a spoiled and stubborn temperament, so she didn't know what would happen.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xuening got up, had porridge and rice, dressed up, and then boarded the carriage prepared by the mansion, walked around half of the imperial city, and headed to the Qingyuan uncle's mansion.

Qingyuan Bofu is located in the east of the city.

That area is the home of honor.

Compared with the frighteningly high lintel of Duke Cheng's mansion, Qingyuan Bo's mansion still has a bit of momentum with only two stone lions at the entrance, but the courtyard between the gates has shown a bit of decline.

Fortunately, many people came to the banquet today.

The front of the formerly cold door is now full of traffic, and people are constantly greeting each other with smiles on their faces and entering the door, which makes people wonder whether the uncle's mansion is about to gain power again.

Jiang Xuening heard You Fangyin's words in her last life, so she is very aware of the current situation of the Qingyuan uncle's mansion. When she got off the car and saw the bustling scene around her, she almost thought that she had come to the wrong place. She raised her head and looked at the plaque again and again to be sure. It's Bofu.

She was surprised, but she didn't want to ask too many questions.

As soon as the post was handed over, the servants led them into the mansion.

A group of people walked through the Chaoshou verandah, only smelling the fragrance of osmanthus seeds along the way.

Just when he was about to enter the round gate to go to the back garden, a thin figure rushed over diagonally.

A green dress is a little dirty.

She was a disheveled girl with a hairpin bun, her face was panicked, and her eyes were red.

Jiang Xuening felt familiar for a moment, but his heart was shocked. Seeing her rushing over in a hurry, she bumped her shoulder before he had time to distinguish and avoid him in the future.

The embroidered sachet tied around his waist fell to the ground.

Jiang Xuening stood still, just looking at her.

You Fangyin escaped from the woodshed just now, she just wanted to see her aunt who was seriously ill and was about to die, she was afraid she might not see her for the last time, but right now she bumped into someone, she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

She quickly bent down to pick up the sachet.

But tears fell and wet the densely stitched white peony on the sachet.

Wipe it with your hands again, it is already dirty.

At this time, You Fangyin hated her own clumsiness so much that she didn't dare to wipe it off with her smudged hands, so she took the sachet with both hands and handed it back to Jiang Xuening: "Fangyin is stupid, bump into it." You even broke your sachet after killing the girl, I will embroider one for the girl some other day as compensation, and I beg the girl to forgive me!"

When she stretched out her hand, the sleeves slipped a little.

There was no good skin on the exposed wrist, it was black and bruised, and there were even a few welt marks.

The servants who led the way were stunned when they saw her.

Jiang Xuening's eyes moved from her face to her wrist, but her face became more and more dazed.

It was still Tang'er who reacted very quickly, seeing that something was wrong, she hurried up and took the sachet first: "Give it to me."

From the corridor at the other end, there were the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the stern voices of several women: "It's not good to look at a single person! Lock her up and make her run away! It's such an important day again. If something happens, you can't eat and walk around! Quick, go find it!"

When You Fangyin heard this, why would she dare to stay longer?

She hastily bowed to Jiang Xuening, then lifted the corner of her skirt, and ran towards the other end, the branch of flowers growing in the path scratched her sleeves and the back of her hands, and she didn't dare to stop.

The women behind her soon spotted her and chased after her.

There was a lot of noise.

That servant knew that the mansion was not peaceful recently because of the aunt's affairs, so he didn't dare to let the guests know, so he quickly apologized to Jiang Xuening: "I made the girl laugh, the maid just bought in the mansion has no rules, and the mothers are teaching me a lesson." , are you not surprised?"

Jiang Xuening only took the sachet from Tang'er's hand. The graceful peony was embroidered with white thread, so it had a kind of elegance and elegance, but now it was stained with tears, and there was a stain on the tears.

She blinked and looked down.

Under the thick long eyelashes, there is a dark shadow.

She could hear the cold voice in her heart: Leave it alone, leave it alone. So many people die every day in the world, what's the point of having one more her? Don't worry about it, in a few hours, you will be able to see the real "You Fangyin".
