Ming Lanying really didn't know Mrs. Dingguo's mansion, but the one who was surrounded by people must be, and she was right to follow the crowd.

As soon as Ming Lanying and He Bai arrived at the door, they saw the father and son standing there waiting with the same expressionless face, and Ye Juelu lowered his head slightly and was telling Ning'er.

Da Da's figure is tall and straight like a green pine, with deep facial features, clear outlines, eyes as deep as a pool, a crow-blue brocade official uniform with dark patterns, and a unique smoky-gray belt stretching out his thin waist, with a restrained edge.

The small body is as straight as bamboo, with delicate features and a serious expression. The flower blue satin robe Ming Lanying picked out by herself makes her skin white and clear. Half-sleeved velvet jacket, half-tied with a flower-blue headband, a young gentleman as elegant as jade.

Ming Lanying stretched out her hand to gesture from afar, and smiled gratifiedly. After more than two years of careful feeding, Ning'er has also been reborn, and her spirit is no longer timid and timid.

"It's not bad to let Ning'er practice martial arts with you. You are much taller and stronger, but why don't you gain weight?"

He Bai snorted proudly, "That's not true! Ning'er is much heavier! Don't look at it now, the flesh is actually tight!"

The father and son looked for the sound, and saw Ming Lanying standing on the stone steps with a bright smile, a sky blue brocade and satin dress, covered with the same style of flower blue half-sleeve fine velvet jacket on Ning Er, elegant and gorgeous, red Her lips were lifted up, her bright eyes were shining, which made all the colors in the world eclipsed.

Both father and son smiled at the same time, one was shallow and the other was bright, this was a subconscious reaction to seeing important people.

He Bai was amused by this scene, the big one and the small one were very similar, even their movements were almost synchronized, "The father and son are really in harmony!"

Ming Lanying couldn't hold back her laughter, "Otherwise, how could they be father and son?"

"Hehe! Sister-in-law has such a good eye, and the clothes she picked are all pretty!" He Bai took a few more glances at her, and proudly got into the carriage with her hand hooked. , I will definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd today! Blind their dog eyes!"

"What nonsense! You haven't gotten tired of watching it every day?"

Ming Lanying still wanted to support He Bai's hand, but Ye Juelu put one hand on her waist, half-embraced her and got into the carriage, then carried Ning'er up, and took the two cups handed over by Wang Guanshi. All the hand stoves were given to Ming Lanying.

"I can't get tired of watching it, my lady seldom shows up at banquets today."

Ming Lanying looked at him suspiciously, Ye Juelu stared at her with deep eyes, his voice hoarse and restrained.

"I regret it for my husband. I shouldn't let the lady go to the spring banquet. The lady is too attractive today. It's unforgettable at first sight, and I can't stop thinking about it."

He Bai covered his mouth and sneered, "Sister-in-law is too attractive, and has attracted a lot of rivals for you!"

Ye Juelu pinched her side waist indiscriminately, and Ming Lanying gave him a red-eyed look, "What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and do your business!"

Ye Juelu was going to be the emperor's personal guard in the palace, and from the palace to the sacrificial altar, Ming Lanying and the others were going to the Bishui Garden in the outer city, there were two directions.

Ye Juelu smoothly arranged the complicated skirt and the dazzling sachets around her waist, and smiled lightly, "Wait for me to pick you up."

Turning to He Bai, he said in a deep voice, "Protect your sister-in-law and Ning'er, and don't cause trouble."

He Bai curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "I know, I know, I don't have any good looks towards my sister! You stinky brother who forgets his righteousness!"

Ning'er hugged the hand stove that Ming Lanying gave him, and reluctantly waved Ye Juelu farewell, "Daddy wants to pick us up early!"

"Ah."

Ye Juelu watched the carriage sway away, took the short sword and dagger handed by Wang Guanshi, buckled it behind his waist, and quickly got on his horse and rushed to the palace.

The Bishui Garden in the outer city is a good place for spring outings. There is also a Bishui River that passes through the entire Bishui Garden and circles half of the capital city. The ice is also thawing, and the river surface is also very crisp.

Dingguo Mansion and Yong'anhou Mansion contracted half of the Green Water Garden, and they had people temporarily build verandahs, pavilions and wind-shielding terraces. In the distance is a village, and there is also a courtyard specially arranged by Dingguo Mansion for guests to rest.

Mrs. Dingguo's arrangement was thoughtful, and no one would refute her face, and everyone who received the invitation came.When Ming Lanying and the others arrived, there was already a park of carriages and horses parked in the distance of Bishui Garden, and the stewards of Duke Dingguo's Mansion and Marquis Yong'an's Mansion and their servants were waiting here to receive the guests.

When I saw Ming Lanying's carriage, I was in a daze for a moment. There was a sign of Ye Juelu's Commander's Mansion on the carriage, but it was the first time the two stewards saw it, so they didn't recognize it immediately.

The coachman set up the stool, and He Bai stepped out of the carriage first, straightened his clothes, and handed over the invitation, "Commander Ye's mansion."

The round-faced steward took a look, then glanced at the girl with white hair in a bun, and immediately bowed respectfully towards the carriage.

"It's a small faux pas, Mrs. Commander Ye is welcome!"

"Sister-in-law, here we are."

He Bai turned around to help Ming Lanying, and Ming Lanying took Ning'er's hand and slowly got off the carriage, and nodded to the two stewards.

"It's all right, get up, please take us to see Mrs. Dingguo."

The two stewards secretly glanced at each other, and they were stunned for a moment. When did such a stunning person appear in the capital!
"It's a small honor!" The round-faced steward and the other square-faced steward exchanged glances, and decided to take them there in person, "This way please, Madam is in the largest pavilion with glazed tiles and square eaves."

The place where the carriage stopped was not far from the verandah and long pavilion, and it was only half a stick of incense. The round-faced steward also introduced the structure of this spring banquet along the way.

Wait for the guests to arrive in the morning, start lunch on time, take a short break in the afternoon, and then have a competition of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a flying flower order for poetry.

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, the Spring Festival Banquet was just a large-scale social banquet held in the name of solar terms, it was crowded with people, and people from the upper class loved to come to have fun when they had nothing to do.

The round-faced steward pointed to the long pavilions in the corridor and introduced them one by one, "The large terrace with green and red veils on the far side is a place where you can listen to operas, that is the veranda for throwing pots, and there is also a Liushui pavilion for flowing water. The pavilions in the middle are for Arranged by everyone, the ladies of the family are drinking tea and playing the piano there."

Ming Lanying looked along and saw that the corridors and pavilions were ingeniously designed. The pavilions are all square pavilions with a wide field of vision. The elegant veils of various colors flutter, which can block the wind and are light and beautiful.

The long veranda is connected to the long pavilion, forming a semi-circle, which can just widen the distance without stepping on the cold and wet grass. The left and right sides are opposite to the large terrace, one side is opera, and the other side can be used for meals. You can also see the stage not far from the opposite side.

"Going out from the veranda over there is the shooting range. Outside the shooting range is the racecourse. The horses are already prepared. Most of them are men. There are also a few ladies who are good at martial arts. If Madam Ye is interested, you can also go. Lunch is by the Bishui River , Dinner is on the terrace on the other side.

"The weather is fine today. Madam specially asked someone to look at it. You can see the sky full of stars tonight. It's suitable for drinking lightly on the moon."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and looked, the Clear Water Garden was very big, Dingguo Duke's Mansion and Yong'an Hou's Mansion only occupied half of the Clear Water Garden, but it was big enough to ride a horse and run around in a circle.

Not far from the verandah pavilion is a fenced shooting range, which is specially drawn to avoid hurting others.

Ming Lanying looked over and could already see a dozen high-spirited young men on the shooting range, enthusiastically competing with each other, and a small circle of young girls surrounded them, watching excitedly and restrainedly.

The sharp-eyed He Bai immediately spotted Ming Jiazhen, who was wearing a tender pink Hunan skirt and a rabbit fur cloak among the girls watching the fun.

Ming Lanying smiled, "The two ladies are interested, and I will enjoy today's feast to the fullest."

The largest glazed tile square pavilion arrived, and the round-faced steward personally took them to meet Mrs. Dingguo. At that time, there were several elegant and dignified ladies gathered in the pavilion, chatting softly together. Everyone fell silent for an instant.

The sharp eyes looked at her without any cover, and the round-faced steward stepped forward lightly, and said hello to the elegant and luxurious lady who was sitting in the first place, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Ming Lanying took a quick glance, only to see the round and kind face of the noble lady, who was only about forty years old, with an orange-red brocade dress with two breasts, holding a copper silk beast hand stove in her hand, towering The bun was filled with a set of gold-studded ruby ​​heads, and the tassels swayed slightly as the owner stood up, reflecting the light of elegance and wealth.

This should be Mrs. Dingguo, whom Ye Juelu said she could trust.

Ming Lanying bowed slightly to salute, and said hello loudly, "My concubine greets all the ladies, I have met all the ladies."

Mrs. Dingguo, who was in the first place, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said slowly, "But Mrs. Ye Tong?"

All the ladies here are surprised. They are all princely families who have lived in the capital for a long time. Although Ming Lanying seldom attended large-scale banquets, they were all present at the banquet where the scandal happened. Ming Lanying glanced at her, and was shocked by the vulgar words, deeds and appearance, and was speechless.

And now the rumored Mrs. Ye in front of her is really worth seeing once she hears a lot. The fat and big-eared waste of the Ming family has nothing to do with this beauty in front of her at all.

"Yes, my concubine is Ye Mingshi, named Lanying, Lan with a river of smoke and water shining in Qinglan, and Ying with a voice of swallows, I am honored to be here for the spring banquet, and I would like to thank the two wives."

Ming Lanying's docile acceptance of the ceremony, at least the first impression is not bad, these noble wives will not let go of the bad atmosphere of the past.

"I saw the good looks of Mrs. Ye's life. There hasn't been such an amazing person in the capital for a long time. When I came in just now, I almost thought it was a nine-day fairy who came down to the mortal world, and she blushed in spite of herself!"

Ming Lanying heard the sound and looked, and there was a lively lady in her thirties sitting beside Mrs. Dingguo, her eyebrows were stretched open, her blue chain link dress was wrapped around a big cloak of the same color, and her jasper hair in a bun made her face stand out. A lot more dignified and calm.

Mrs. Dingguo smiled, and waved to Ming Lanying, "Mrs. Yong'an Hou said so, then I have to take a closer look."

Ming Lanying responded, moved her lotus steps a little closer, and half sat on the low stool at the feet of Mrs. Dingguo, looking up at her.

Mrs. Dingguo was also dazed when she saw it clearly, patted Ming Lanying's hand to comfort her, and said to the ladies beside her: "If she didn't wear a woman's hair in a bun, I thought it was someone who hadn't left the cabinet. girl!"

Ming Lanying bent the corners of her eyes, and exclaimed to each other with a smile, "My lady is absurd, my concubine's body is just ordinary, petty, how can it compare to the beauty of ladies."

This is the first time for her to come to this banquet, so of course she has to chat with the host for a while to get acquainted. Although she is a woman, she is younger than the ladies present, so it is proper to say this.

As soon as these words came out, although the noble ladies present did not say anything, their faces were much more relaxed, and they complimented each other, and their favor towards Ming Lanying rose steadily.

Mrs. Dingguo was happy to hear this, with slight wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, she looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with a wide smile.

The affairs of Ming Lanying and Ye Juelu are not a secret. The wives who live deep in the back house know how they got together.

"You and Commander Ye have already married, but do you have any children? Do you bring them?"

"Bring it, I specially brought it to meet the big world."

Ming Lanying waved to the two people behind her, He Bai brought Ning'er closer to salute, Ming Lanying pointed to He Bai and introduced to the ladies.

"This is my sister-in-law You Hebai."

Mrs. Dingguo narrowed her eyes, "Miss Youjia? Why are you here?"

Ming Lanying doesn't know what kind of family the You family is, but seeing Mrs. Ding as the Duke, it shouldn't be an ordinary small family.

Let her hold hands, with crooked smiling eyes, making it hard to see the emotion in his eyes, "He Bai and Ning'er are very close, and I haven't seen my little nephew for many years, so I'm staying in the mansion temporarily."

After Hebai saluted, he remained silent, obviously not familiar with anyone, Mrs. Dingguo Gongfu didn't say anything, but his eyes were attracted by Ning'er next to him.

"Who is this pink and jade-carved doll?"

After she asked this question, Ning'er, who had been lowering her sense of existence, was immediately stared at by the noble ladies around her. With her tense little face, she straightened her back, bowed and saluted again.

"This is my Ning'er, does Madam look familiar?"

Mrs. Dingguo was surprised because Ning'er and Ye Juelu were so similar, "This really looks like his father!"

Mrs. Yong'anhou liked Ning'er's delicate appearance very much, so she asked Ning'er to come forward. Ning'er first glanced at Ming Lanying, and then cautiously approached after getting permission.

As soon as he got close, Mrs. Yong'anhou grabbed his little arm, and the lady next to him also came over, as if it was the first time he saw such an amazing villain, and he didn't ask for money if he praised him.

Mrs. Yong'anhou was even more amazed, "Ning'er is much more cute and good-looking than my little monkey grandson, look at this brow and eyes, clean and handsome!"

However, Ning'er has followed his father's lead in this aspect, and the more nervous her heart is, the more tense her face becomes. Surrounded by noble ladies at the moment, her blushing expressionless face makes her even more pleasing.

Ming Lanying was very proud. Her son captured the hearts of the shrewd lady present with just a single face. He was just so likable!
Mrs. Dingguo likes Ming Lanying and Ning'er, so she dragged her to say a few more words, just as the conversation was getting heated, a voice that disrupted the atmosphere appeared unexpectedly.
