Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 115 Chapter 122
Midsummer is approaching, and the day of Jiji that Ye Lingwu has been thinking about for a long time has also arrived. Early in the morning, Mother Xuan went to Ye Lingwu's dormitory, and took the little girl to sit in front of the dressing table with her hair twisted.

Ye Lingwu looked at the bronze mirror and watched as Nanny Xuan rolled up her long hair on her back, brushed the bangs on her forehead with a pair of wrinkled hands, dipped them in the water shavings prepared in advance, and combed the bangs up , showing a beautiful oval face, the whole person is instantly refreshed.

Nanny Xuan picked up a tassel hairpin with red silk agate flowers from the brocade box on the dowry, gestured to the bronze mirror twice before carefully inserting the hairpin.

She looked at the charming girl in the bronze mirror, and after a moment of silence, she said with satisfaction: "Young girl Ling is beautiful, just as lovely as your mother."

Ye Lingwu smiled faintly: "Nurse Xuan laughed at me. I don't have a mother who is good-looking. When I was young, people in Yuzhou City used to describe my mother as 'extremely beautiful'."

Nanny Xuan nodded in a daze, probably recalling the past, and said, "Your mother is indeed stunning. I remember that when I first saw her, I was stunned for a long time, wondering that there is such a beautiful girl in this world."

As soon as the words were finished, Rongxiu came over holding the lavender wide-sleeved neon dress, and said cheerfully: "Young lady will be a big girl from now on, and this dress can no longer be as childish as before."

Mother Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, from now on I will be a big girl."

It was long past when the bun was finished, and Nanny Xuan led Ye Lingwu to the main room.

If both parents are present, Jiji Ceremony should be presided over by the parents. There are many regulations, but Ye Lingwu has no relatives or reasons in the capital.

After sweeping the main room, Ye Lingwu slowly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the old lady Shen who was sitting upright.

The maidservants who were watching had different expressions.Jiang Lanshu smiled generously on the surface, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; Tanchun rolled her eyes several times, and the corners of her mouth curled down in disdain; Rongxiu was so happy that the smile on her face never stopped. Be beaming, anyway, join in the fun.

Old lady Shen said: "Okay, okay, girl Ling will be a big girl from now on, I remember when I went to make a moon, I was thinking about your Jiji, is the hairpin on your head heavy? Do you like it?"

"It's not heavy, I like it." The corners of Ye Lingwu's mouth were raised, and her almond eyes were like crescent moons.

At the end of the ceremony, Mrs. Shen pushed back the little envoy, and talked with Ye Lingwu for a long time. Jiang Lanshu also joined in the fun, chatting with each other from time to time, which was very enjoyable.

Not long after, the two girls from the second room came.As soon as Jiang Lanshu saw someone, she immediately found an excuse to leave the main room.

"Sister Lingwu looks really good today!" Shen Pan'er took Ye Lingwu to look through it.

Shen Yue'er echoed: "It's pretty, and this hair looks even more beautiful when you look at people."

There was laughter again in the house.

Having nothing to do, a few girls chatted and laughed around Old Mrs. Shen, and before she knew it, it was time. Old Mrs. Shen took advantage of the time and went into the side room to chant sutras. Ye Lingwu and Shen Pan'er were left in the main room. Shen Yue'er and several personal servants spoke.

At this moment, a young envoy came from the courtyard of the second room, and said that there was a family banquet at Haitang Zhai at noon, and she invited Mrs. Shen to come over.

Ye Lingwu felt strange, apart from her Jiji, today was not a special day, so why did she suddenly have a family banquet, so she asked Shen Pan'er about it.

"Oh, it's not that my second brother is almost eighteen, and there is not even a girl in the yard. My mother is so worried that she soon doubts my second brother's preferences." Shen Pan'er laughed happily, like a A festive blessing doll.

Hearing this, the little maids also covered their mouths and laughed.

Ye Lingwu became even more curious, and asked, "But what does this have to do with the family banquet?"

Shen Pan'er took a sip of ice crispy cheese, and replied leisurely: "Of course it has something to do. My mother is worried about my second brother, and now she wants to settle his marriage earlier. No, the old man in General Cheng's family I went back to Beijing a few days ago. General Cheng’s family has an only daughter, Cheng Guyuan. My mother liked her a long time ago. She was invited to the house when she knew they were going back to Beijing. Qiu Xicheng's family is also here."

Ye Lingwu's face was pale, as if she was drowning in water and couldn't breathe.

The only daughter of General Cheng.

The one who married Shen Ci in the dream was also the daughter of General Cheng.

"Sister Lingwu, sister Lingwu?" Shen Yue'er noticed Ye Lingwu's face was ugly, her hands on her knees were clenched tightly until the fingertips turned white, and she carefully filled the bowl with ice crisp cheese, and called out twice.

Ye Lingwu regained her composure, looked around, and saw that everyone in the room was staring at her, she quickly let go of her tense expression, and said, "What's the matter with Miss Four?"

"...It's okay." Seeing that she was absent-minded, Shen Yue'er changed the topic, "Today is just an ordinary family banquet. General Cheng and our family are old friends, and my mother hosted a banquet to clean up the dust."

Shen Pan'er snorted noncommittally, and continued: "I don't know if it's normal or not. I saw Cheng Guyuan when I was a child. At that time, I thought she was a boy, and my second brother called her brother. Later my second elder brother found out that she was a girl, and he was so angry that he didn't come out for several days, I laughed to death, and Yue'er also knew, we laughed at my second elder brother for a long time."

Shen Yue'er said helplessly: "That's you laughing, I didn't laugh at Second Brother."

Cut~ Shen Pan'er pursed her mouth.

As soon as noon came, Mrs. Shen, who didn't want to join in the fun, couldn't resist Zhao Shilian sending three young maids to invite her, so she had to lead a few girls from the courtyard to Haitang Zhai.

Ye Lingwu was absent-minded along the way.

When we arrived at Haitang Zhai, we heard voices and laughter coming from inside.

Ye Lingwu helped Mrs. Shen in, and suddenly felt a cool breeze. Before she had time to look at the guests, she first set her sights on the lacquered wooden bucket filled with several large ice cubes in the center of the room, and the flower windows that opened on all sides. , very cool.

Because it is a family banquet, there is no distinction between men and women.

The upper head is empty, and on the left side of the seat is Princess Jiayi, Qin Mingyu. Today she is still in a golden brocade robe, holding a round fan with a golden jade handle in her hand.

Probably because Shen Zhan hadn't recovered from his long journey, Qin Mingyu looked sick today and didn't say a word.

On the right is the second-bedroom couple who seem to be wearing "couple" costumes. Both of them are dressed in navy blue wide-sleeved brocade, but the styles are quite different.

Further down was Shen Ci in a brick red brocade robe. Ye Lingwu saw him staring at the opposite seat with an ugly expression, followed his gaze, and saw a familiar face in the opposite seat.

——The girl who saved her from the Sixth Princess last time!
Ye Lingwu couldn't help but look a few more times.

Today, she is dressed much more tenderly and delicately than last time. She is dressed in an emerald green brocade robe, with a crescent moon bun on her head and a few silver hairpins. It looked completely different.

"Old lady Shen is here." Cheng Fei bowed, and beside him, the mother of the Cheng family, Mrs. Zhang, and the daughter of the Cheng family also bowed and bowed.

"General Cheng, you don't need to be formal, today is a family feast." Mrs. Shen walked up with a smile.

After Ye Lingwu greeted everyone, she still took her seat at the end of the banquet.

The Cheng family has been away from the capital for many years. Although Cheng Fei has made great military achievements, he is not as good as other generals who have taken root in the capital.

But to discuss why the Zhao family fell in love with Cheng Guyuan, one has to talk about the Cheng family's mistress Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang is the eldest daughter of Luoqing Layman in Nanchang Mountain. She has a clean family background. She and Mrs. Zhao are considered to be from the same family. They were equally talented women in the capital.

The two families have a deep relationship, and they know the roots and the bottom line, so the Zhao family naturally prefers it.
