Chen Yu, Qi Lan and the others stayed with Xie Hao'an at Duke Yan's mansion for a long time that day, and they didn't leave until night fell and had dinner in Xie Hao'an's small courtyard.

After the two left, it began to rain heavily. There was not as much rain in summer as in spring, but there were no fewer people looking forward to rain in summer than in spring.

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

The rain fell intermittently, and it lasted for several days. It was not until the day when Princess Nankang held a tasting party that the dark clouds barely dispersed.

The two little girls, Xie Yi and Xie Yihua, led by Mrs. Wei, came to Nankang princess's house early in the morning with gifts.

As the clouds disappeared and the rain came, the water level of the lake in Nankang County Lord's Mansion raised from the mountain increased a little and added waves.

The pavilions and pavilions in the distance appear higher than usual under the back of the lake, and the water makes people feel cooler than usual.

The breeze after the rain is also cooler than other times, and even the melons after the rain that the Nankang princess asked to entertain guests seem to be sweeter than usual, and the shade of the green trees has been covering As far as the eaves, there are rows of wooden frames and long tables under the eaves. On the wooden frames and long tables are placed one after another exquisite picture scrolls.

Princess Nankang sat on the rattan mat in the gauze tent set up beside the tree. This time, Princess Nankang invited several good friends, as well as many noble ladies from prominent families, and many young girls , the young and beautiful girls are all sitting obediently beside their elders, wearing light silk summer clothes, holding fans, quietly enjoying the pleasant summer time.

"Yihua...Is this the way this tasting is going to be...It's so boring...Look at me...I'll look at you..."

Thank you, today is also the first time to visit the house of Princess Nankang. When Haishi at home heard the news, he almost told her to obey the rules. Otherwise, wait until Haishi finished watching from the temple Thank you, that horoscope is too hard, so when the younger brother who lived under the Buddha's knee came back, he made her feel better.

Therefore, it is rare for Xie Yi to wear a very well-behaved attire today, and sit beside Xie Yihua pretending to be a lady with a smile without showing any teeth. Xie Yi couldn't bear it anymore, covered his mouth with a fan, and whispered to Xie Yihua on the side.

"No, I heard that today's tasting will prepare a lot of interesting sessions. In addition to looking at paintings, you can also play flying flower orders, flower arrangement, painting, and poetry... It's just that it hasn't started yet, we came too early today... "

Xie Yi sighed helplessly, and said to Xie Yihua:
"Hey... that's still very boring... just the five buckets of ink in my stomach... I would embarrass my family if I took it out... If I knew it, I wouldn't have come with you... I'll just go and ride a horse..."

"That can't be done, sister Yi Nian has been saying that she can't get sick these days... If you don't accompany me, sister Yi Nian, then only my mother will accompany me, then I will feel very boring..."

"I mean sister, just bear with it, just treat it as an occasional time to cultivate your body... In such a poisonous sun, if you go riding a horse, you will get very tanned. If you tan your skin, you have to be careful when your aunt seeks you out." Settle the bill..."

As soon as Xie Yihua mentioned Haishi, Xie Yi sighed helplessly. He was obviously very afraid of his mother's strict control... Fortunately, now that she has the Shangfang sword, she really can't do it, just run away~
"You're right, then I'll treat it as an occasional time to cultivate my body~ However, I still feel that the blue clothes my mother picked for me don't suit me. I still like bright red clothes, which are light and elegant like blue. The color still suits you~”

After finishing speaking, Xie Yi began to carefully look at Xie Yihua's clothes today. Xie Yihua's clothes are visible to the naked eye today, and the whole body is made of light blue xiangyun gauze. On the clothes, the silver thread and colored thread were used to embroider one after another lifelike orchids and a few delicate and lovely butterflies. The jade hairpin, which doesn't look overwhelming, was tied up into a standard pony bun, and then a few eternal flowers were tied on the head, making Xie Yihua look very elegant~
What Xie Yi likes the most is that on Xie Yihua's wrist, he is actually wearing string after string of bracelets strung together with flowers, although flowers are not considered expensive things, they are not as expensive as agate and emerald , However, it is better than clever thinking, people can't move their eyes when they see it~
"Sister Yihua, you look really nice in your outfit today. Next time, I'll take you to play Chuiwan. You have to remember to dress up like this, and let me show off with you~"

Hearing Xie Yihua's praise, Xie Yihua lowered his head in embarrassment, and then said:
"Sister Yi will make fun of me. I just watched the flowers in the yard bloom just right, and I just dressed as I wanted. How can I compare with sister Yi, you are so charming~"

"Okay, okay, don't give in to me, you and my father are brothers, born somewhat similar, and all of them are first-class handsome men, you and I are also cousins Sister relationship, we are also born good-looking, what is there to be modest about~"

"Anyway, both of us look better than the person sitting across from us, so what if we wear gold and silver..." Xie Yi seemed to have seen someone he didn't like, and said immediately.

Xie Yihua heard the sudden gnashing of teeth from her good sister, and followed Xie Yi's gaze, and saw that Yu Ling, who had almost had a fight with them last time, was sitting opposite them with a smile.

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 niece and daughter-in-law of Princess Nankang. Here, too, is to be expected.

What surprised Xie Yihua was Yu Ling's outfit today. Yu Ling obviously learned the lesson from the last time. He did not appear at the host's banquet in white, but attended the banquet in full costume... But, this In fact, the clothes are too grand, and it seems to vaguely cover up the limelight of the master's family...

Just look, Yu Ling is wearing a dress woven with rose red flowers today, and on the dress are embroidered with gold, silver and colored threads one after another ingots and rich and threatening... Not to mention the peony as a pattern, Yu Ling is still wearing a pearl shawl made of excellent white pearls and jade on top of such a gorgeous outer dress today, which looks very luxurious. The whole set of pure gold gemstones on Ling's head today and the pair of mandarin duck pure gold bracelets on her hands almost attracted all the attention of the audience to her, making people misunderstand that today's banquet The owner is her...

But in fact, even if her dress is so luxurious, even if it attracts people's attention, it will not make everyone think that she is trying to steal the limelight from the master's house. Young people, like middle-aged people, take the so-called dignified and steady route...

It's just that Yu Ling and Princess Nankang wore clothes of the same color and pattern today. This is not a coincidence of color collision, but Yu Ling's deliberate intention. After all, every host who wants to hold a banquet, They are all afraid of being overwhelmed by the guests, and embarrassing incidents of clashing colors and clothes will happen.

Therefore, a few days before the start of the banquet, the host will decide the color or pattern of the clothes he is wearing, and then let someone tell the news to the person who came to inquire, and then send someone to take the clothes The news was revealed to those who did not come to inquire...

Therefore, people who know the news, as long as they have a little insight, will actively choose to avoid wearing clothes of the same color as the host family. Even if they are of the same color, they will try to choose clothes with relatively simple patterns to avoid such incidents. matter……

No one knows what Yu Ling is thinking, maybe she is trying to create an illusion of being as close as a mother and daughter... But I didn't expect that it would be self-defeating, and the most jaw-dropping thing is that the same dress is the same Let's dress up, what's the matter with the patterns, headdresses and materials on your clothes that are more delicate than those of the host's house?
People use silver thread and colored thread to make ingots and peonies, but you have to use gold thread; people wear brocade shawls, but you have to wear pearl shawls; people wear gold headdresses, but you have to wear gold and rubies. The head made... what do you think...

As close as a mother and daughter, how could it be such a way...

Xie Yihua had the same reaction as many guests. After seeing Yu Ling's outfit, he immediately subconsciously looked at today's host, Princess Nankang. As expected, no accident, Princess Nankang was still smiling , but the smile did not reach the bottom of the eyes, but the fan in his hand was trembling inexplicably... Looking carefully, he found that the veins in the hands of Princess Nankang were popping up, and the fan... was almost given by Princess Nankang. crushed...

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

"The paintings are hung on the bookshelf under the shade of the tree, and there are several long scrolls on the long table. Those paintings are made by famous artists, and some are by some unknown painters that I personally like. Hands, feel free~" Perhaps sensing that more and more eyes were focused on him, Princess Nankang quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then adjusted his emotions.Said to everyone in a gentle tone.

Naturally, everyone understood Princess Nankang's mood, and hurriedly stood up, thanked Princess Nankang for her kindness, and walked outside in pairs...

But everyone avoided Yu Ling with a tacit understanding. Yu Ling didn't know why, but felt quite embarrassed. So, after scanning the crowd, he saw the figure of sister Xie's family, and remembered After hearing the conversation between Qi Lan and her father-in-law that I overheard a few days ago, I hurried towards Xie Yi and Xie Yihua...

"Sister Xie, wait, wait..."

When Xie Yi and Xie Yihua heard this unlucky voice, their hearts thumped, and they could only pretend to not hear it and continue walking outside, but unexpectedly, Yu Ling ran up to them in three steps at a time, and said:

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

"Actually... I'm very embarrassed, I really didn't mean any harm... If the two younger sisters are still angry with me... you might as well hit me a few times to vent your anger..."

Xie Yi and Xie Yihua rolled their eyes at the same time in their hearts, and were about to say something, but the two sisters were pulled behind them by Wei Shi at the side, only to see, Wei Shi blocked it with the posture of an eagle guarding a chick After thanking Yiyi and Xie Yihua, he said to Yu Ling:
"Mrs. Yu Sanshao, what do you mean? My daughter and my niece are very shy of strangers. You only met once and didn't get along very well, so it's better to keep a distance... We are not that stingy My family won't argue with you so much, but Mrs. Yu Sanshao is not the same as us, so it's better to have less contact..."

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

Standing behind Wei Shi, Xie Yi and Xie Yihua obviously didn't expect that Wei Shi, who was so violent at home, could poke someone's lung tube in such a dignified manner outside, and silently gave Wei Shi a thumbs up in their hearts .

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

"Yes yes yes... thousands of mistakes are all my fault... it's all my fault..."

"I didn't know the identities of the girls last time...I didn't expect the flood to wash up the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family anymore~"

"Hey... I really didn't expect, Mrs. Yu Sanshao, so not... so informal... Hehe..." Mrs. Wei obviously understands the relationship between one or two Qi Lan and the Shouguang Prince's Mansion... What is it really? The family who came here... In the eyes of their Xie family, Qi Lan is Qi Lan, and Shouguang Prince's Mansion is Shouguang Prince's Mansion... How can they be confused...

Therefore, Wei Shi was about to say something to Yu Ling: "Smelly shameless" came, and he quickly remembered that he was in public, so he immediately racked his brains, changed a word, and said through gritted teeth .

Yu Ling obviously understands what Wei's words mean, but she said this now for another purpose, so Yu Ling didn't stop there at the moment, but continued:

"Yes, yes, what Mrs. Xie Si said is true. I am informal, so what can I say? After all, the good things between our two families are coming soon, so... the family will not talk about each other... ..."

"What? Mrs. Third Young Master Yu may have had a drink today... What are you talking about..." Mrs. Wei obviously didn't expect this kind of trouble, so she immediately said in doubt.

Seeing the eyes of the people around her immediately focus on this place, Yu Ling immediately smiled triumphantly, and then pretended to be surprised and said:

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

"It seems that Lord Yan came to look for my second uncle two days ago, deliberately..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Mrs. Third Young Master Yu didn't hear you right! Such nonsense! Third Young Master Yu is open-mouthed! Our girl from the Xie family has no face!" Wei interrupted Yu Ling angrily. Said.

"I didn't hear it wrong. I heard my second uncle and my father-in-law say with my own ears that his loyalty..." Yu Ling didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted again, but this time it wasn't The Wei family, but the princess of Nankang County who heard the news!
Just look, Princess Nankang came over with a bunch of maids and servants. After hearing what Yu Ling said, he immediately rushed forward and personally rewarded Yu Ling with a big-eared melon seed. Immediately, Yu Ling and everyone were surprised Under his gaze, he snapped and said:

"In my house, how much wine did you drink! How dare you talk nonsense!"

"If you dare to say some unfounded things in my house, and humiliate my Qi family and the lintel of Yan Guogong's mansion, don't blame me for not thinking of kinship!"

"Aunt... Aunt, you know the truth. Everything I said is true. It was the Duke of Yan who rushed to get his grandson..."

"Ah!" Yu Ling wanted to say something again, but was rewarded with a big slap by Princess Nankang again. This time, he used such force that he slapped Yu Ling to the ground without saying anything. He yelled out in pain.

"Grandpa Yan is a man of good looks, the decision he makes must have been carefully thought out! Is it someone like you who can criticize him?" Nankang Princess obviously knew that Lord Yan wanted to ask Qi Lan for help. Throwing the olive branch, therefore, said very angrily at the moment.

Immediately, Princess Nankang took a look at the three members of the Xie family who looked uneasy, hurried forward, took Wei's hand and said:
"Fourth Mrs. Xie, don't be angry. They are all ignorant people who talk nonsense. Please calm down. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter. You must not let the Duke and the Duke Madame has lost her mind for such a villain."

Wei's complexion is not good, even if the princess opposite is at this moment, she doesn't want to give her any face, but at this moment, the two little girls Xie Yihua and Xie Yi immediately looked at each other behind, and then, Xie Yi first stepped forward and said:
"Miss Princess Yu is polite, our Xie family naturally understands what Mistress Princess means, and naturally we won't have a quarrel just because of Madam Yu Sanshao's words..."

"Yeah, although my grandfather didn't want others to know so quickly that he was planning to hold a birthday party for my grandmother this year, and even started sending invitations to each family so early... But since ... Madam Yu Sanshao made such a fuss today ... I had no choice but to let my grandmother know that my grandfather had carefully prepared for her..."

"Miss Xie, to hear what you said, just now what Mrs. Yu San said in her mouth, what was going on, what was the matter of Mr. Qi Er, was it all about Yan Guogong preparing for Mrs. Yan Guogong's birthday? "Someone questioned.

"That's natural. My grandfather has always been in a hurry with my grandmother's affairs. Mr. Qi Er is the adopted son of my grandfather and grandma. This time, Mr. Qi Er and my uncles will represent Zhong Nanshan It is understandable for our Xie family to welcome back the birthday gift prepared by my grandfather..." Xie Yihua turned around, looked at the person who raised the question, and said firmly.

"That's right, my father and grandfather had intended this for a long time, but this has always been a family matter of my Xie family. I didn't expect that everyone would know about it today~ I'm really sorry everyone~" Xie Yi immediately continued.

"That's right, that's right, my husband has already prepared to ask for leave from the court at home, so that he can go to Zhong Nanshan to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, and talk about showing filial piety. I didn't think about it. The third young lady Yu will know about this matter. There was such a big misunderstanding." Wei Shi immediately echoed.

After finishing speaking, Wei took another look at Yu Ling on the ground, straightened his back and continued:

"No matter how poor our Xie family is, it is also a scholarly family~ Inviting people to my mother-in-law's birthday banquet is to hope that I can share this happiness with everyone... It's not like... I need to rush to invite people Come and join..."

Princess Nankang knew he was wrong, so he had to take a hard look at Yu Ling on the ground, and then said with a smile:

"Grandpa Yan has worked hard for the country. This year, Mrs. Yan's birthday banquet will definitely be full of guests~"

"Thank you for the good words of the princess, if my mother-in-law knows what the princess said, she will be very happy."

"Yeah, thank you for your good words. This year, on my grandmother's birthday, I will definitely invite the princess to visit~ My grandmother often mentions the character and demeanor of the princess at home, which makes us yearn for it." ~" Xie Yihua looked at his mother who was drifting away, hurriedly tugged on Wei's sleeves, and then stepped forward and said.

"Yes, you all have to come to my grandmother's banquet too~" Xie Yi also said to the people around him.

Everyone saw that they also had the opportunity to participate in the birthday banquet of Duke Yan's mansion, and they could get a chance to get close to Duke Yan and Prime Minister Xie. A chance to go to the next level~
Princess Nankang saw that everyone's attention was not focused on what her stupid niece and daughter-in-law said, so she hurriedly changed the subject and invited everyone to look at the painting~
But today, Princess Nankang invites people who are friends with or respect each other. Naturally, there are no people who do not know how to see. They all follow the words of Princess Nankang and continue to go outside. look at the painting...

Even Mrs. Wei took the two little girls Xie Yi and Xie Yihua to see the painting, and left the place to Princess Nankang and Yu Ling...

Princess Nankang watched everyone leave, pointed at Yu Ling's nose and said:
"If you haven't come yet, someone will stop her mouth! It's not enough to make things happen!"

"Auntie! You misunderstood, I just made a mistake..."

Princess Nankang looked at Yu Ling who was still trying to argue, and said with a cold snort:
"Hmph! I am the concubine's daughter of Shouguang Prince's Mansion. My father and the late emperor's mother are compatriots. I have been favored by the late emperor since I was a child. I grew up in a deep palace. I have never seen any conspiracy!"

"What! Do you think you can hide under my nose with this little skill?"

"It's just eating what's in the bowl and looking at what's in the pot, seeing that my brother is treating me badly, and wanting to rely on my brother again. If my brother doesn't agree, you want to destroy him. Such a good plan... "

"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 people, and then invite my brother over here! I have to talk to him about this matter..."

After finishing speaking, Princess Nankang asked someone to gag Yu Ling coldly, and took him away... Then, he put on a decent smile again, and walked slowly towards the place where the picture scroll was...
