"Lanying is here for the spring banquet, why doesn't she come to find her second aunt? Could it be that she doesn't recognize me as my second aunt after becoming Mrs. Ye?"

He Bai frowned and looked at the charming and affectionate woman, but the corners of her eyes were slightly lifted, her thin lips were bright red, she looked a little mean and calculating, it was Qin Peiyan, the second wife of the Ming family, she curled her lips in disgust.

Squeezing away the original wife, Ping Wife, was on par with Jiang Heyu, who was so angry with the original spouse, but he was not as courageous as Jiang Heyu.

Mrs. Dingguo hesitated for a moment when she saw Prince Qin, and the lady serving behind her came over and whispered a few words. Mrs. Dingguo relaxed after hearing this, and leaned lazily on the ring armrest of the yellow rosewood chair.

"It's the wife of the second child of the Ming family. Why are you here? But you can't find your way back?"

Ming Lanying glanced at Hebai suspiciously, Hebai made a silent mouth shape for her, and then rolled her eyes at Qin Yuyan without a trace, Ming Lanying smiled knowingly, and sat upright on the feet of Mrs. Dingguo. The side didn't move.

The second master of the Ming family had a mishap in his job, and he is still cleaning up the mess, and his colleagues are all watching the fun at home. Qin Yuyan dared to come to the spring banquet because of his thick skin.

Qin Yuyan glanced under the small pavilion, and did not see the big fat man with a shiny face. Instead, he saw a stunning woman at the feet of Mrs. Dingguo. She was a little puzzled and shocked, but she was thick-skinned, Still smiling and bowing to salute.

"My concubine heard that Lanying was here too. I had sent greetings to the commander's mansion a few times before, but I was always sent back. It was hard to see each other. I thought I would finally see Lanying at the spring banquet this time, but I didn't. See you over there, after inquiring about it, I found out that she is still with Mrs. Dingguo, so I specially came here to take her there, so as not to disturb the old ladies."

The banquet was also divided into circles, Mrs. Dingguo's wife had grandchildren, grandparents who had the right to speak in the family, and Qin Peiyan said that the old lady could not make a mistake.

And the ladies of the younger generation, such as the second wife and third wife of the Ming family, belong to another circle of headed mothers.

There is a solid social relationship here, talking about sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, and building relationships over there, talking about fashionable makeup, talking about concubines in the backyard.It's not easy for both parties to talk about common topics together, but if there are too many people, they can simply play separately, and they won't bother if there is nothing important.

It's a bit abrupt for Qin Peiyan to come here suddenly to pull people, not to mention that Ming Lanying just came here, and before he had spoken a few words to Mrs. Dingguo, Qin Peiyan came looking for him like a dog smelling.

Ming Lanying squinted her eyes and smiled, "I'm worrying my second aunt, it's my first spring banquet, I don't know the rules, and I want to see Mrs. Dingguo first."

As soon as Ming Lanying opened her mouth, Qin Yuyan was stunned, with disbelief and horror all over her face, He Bai trembled and snickered, every Ming family member would be amazed when they saw their sister-in-law. , Look at this good-for-nothing, his eyeballs are about to fall off!
Ming Lanying turned to Mrs. Dingguo with an apologetic smile and said: "It's my fault too. I have been in the capital for so long, but because of my inconvenient status as a husband, I didn't dare to get acquainted with any lady because I was afraid of causing trouble to others. Good luck, I have been helped by the second girl of the Tang family, I wonder if the second girl of the Tang family is here today?"

Mrs. Dingguo knew that Ye Juelu's status was special, and it was reasonable to avoid suspicion, so she patted Ming Lanying's hand, "We understand your hard work, and it's right for you to do this. We as wives should take care of the man's affairs at home." To support, I know that the second girl of the Tang family is capable, and it is a good thing for you to get to know her, and I will let Mrs. Zhang behind me take you there later."

Mrs. Dingguo opened her mouth, but Qin Yuyan failed to attract anyone, and also heard that she was on good terms with a girl from the Tang family, the smile on her face faded, and those who didn't know thought she was trying to show favor to Mrs. Dingguo.

The eldest daughter of the Tang family is a concubine with a high status in the palace, and even the Tang family can be regarded as half of the royal family. The second daughter of the Tang family has been running a business over the years, earning a lot of money for the Tang family and paying a lot to the treasury. Taxes, the Tang family is safe and sensible, and the emperor respects the Tang family, and the Tang family can be regarded as a big family after supper.

Although the family is not in the capital city, it is also a well-known family in the capital city and has its own connections in the capital city.

Ming Lanying responded with a smile. Of course she knew that Tang Ning was coming, so she waited to find her later, but Qin Yuyan, the second roommate of the Ming family, came over suddenly.

"Second Aunt, I want to go to you and Third Aunt later. I heard that Seventeenth Sister is also here. A few days ago, Seventeenth Sister was still worried that I would not be able to come to the spring banquet, and kept pulling me to be with her. Get up!"

Ming Lanying smiled shyly, "However, I declined politely. I am already the wife of my husband, so I am really embarrassed to occupy the invitation quota of my mother's family. It would be a joke for people to see it. Fortunately, Mrs. Dingguo did not dislike me. Someone specially sent invitations, and I received them with my own hands, so that I can come to see the world, and I can make amends to the wives who declined those invitations before."

Ming Lanying said this directly, she knew very well that if she didn't speak clearly, these women in deep houses and large courtyards are so good at making up their minds and sowing discord, so it's better to just say what should be said, and let them judge for themselves whether they believe it or not.

Except for Ning'er and He Bai, none of the people present here are innocent and ignorant girls. Ming Lanying made it clear that that little girl, Ming Jiazhen, was even worried that Mrs. Dingguo might not send Ming Lanying an invitation. Is it kind-hearted mutual help between a family of sisters, or meddling.

And Ming Lanying also made it clear that because of her husband's official position, she had to avoid suspicion, so she didn't accept anyone's greetings.

Mrs. Yong'anhou, as one of the hosts of this banquet, also has the right to speak, "Mrs. Ye, don't be afraid, everyone knows your intentions clearly, you are a careful person, and everyone should thank you for your hard work. "

Mrs. Yong'anhou spoke up, and everyone agreed, left and right are not a big deal, and Ming Lanying is also cautious in the capital for the first time, it's normal, it doesn't seem like she has much scheming, so it's reassuring.

"Today is a good day of the year. Everything is revived and vitality is reappearing. The new year begins. Let's welcome the spring well. Don't mention the old things from previous years. Sisters, am I right?"

"What Madam Shaoqing said is very true."

The first thing that seems to be quite big, in the eyes of these wives, is just a small matter that is neither high nor low. The matter of Ming Lanying always refusing to pay attention to the post is overturned, and Mrs. Dingguo bowed her head and talked to Ming Lanying again. These two sentences completely ignored Qin Peiyan as air.

Qin Yuyan made fun of himself, and asked Ming Lanying to find them as soon as possible with an awkward smile, and hurried away with the maid beside her.

Mrs. Yong'anhou looked at her fleeing back with complicated eyes, her smiling eyes covered the indifference in her eyes, and she snorted coldly in her heart, the Ming family really didn't have a good thing, if it wasn't for Ming Lanying who took Ming Jia Jane told the story directly, they didn't know it yet!

No wonder her daughter-in-law kept hinting to her a few days ago that she should send invitations to Mrs. Ye Tongling as soon as possible, otherwise Ming Lanying would be brought in by Ming Jiazhen as the Ming family, and she would hear some things at the banquet. Wouldn't it be that they let Yong'anhou's mansion and Ye Tongling's mansion have a bad relationship in vain?

The spring banquet has always invited princely and noble families of the fifth rank and above in Beijing. This is an unchanging rule. Failure to receive invitations is a contempt for this family. An act of disrespect is a face-to-face challenge.

What Ming Jiazhen bullied was that Ming Lanying didn't understand the rules, and when she was brought to the banquet as the Ming family, the invitation sent by Mrs. Dingguo would definitely not be in Ming Lanying's hands again. It's time for someone to tell her about it.

When Ming Lanying started to get angry, fueled the flames, ignited her anger, and broke out at this big banquet, Mrs. Dingguo and Mrs. Yong'anhou would definitely not give her a good face.

At that time, people equivalent to half of the capital will know that Dingguo's mansion and Yong'anhou's mansion look down on Commander Ye's mansion.

Ye Juelu was a close minister of the emperor, even though he was only a third rank, he was more trusted and valued than a first rank prime minister, and fighting against Ye Commander's mansion would be tantamount to ruining his family's livelihood for the rest of their lives.

Ming Lanying had almost finished chatting with the ladies, and when she saw that Ning'er was about to be picked up by these well-maintained ladies, she hurriedly took He Bai and Ning'er to say goodbye to them, and followed Mrs. Dingguo Mrs. Zhang went to find Tang Ning in the circle of girls who had not yet left the cabinet.

Unfortunately, Tang Ning ran into Ming Jiazhen before she found it.

Ming Jiazhen came back from the shooting range with a group of good sisters, and was going to Liushuiting to play flying flower orders. When she saw Ming Lanying, she was angry and jealous at first sight, but that emotion disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Big sister is here too, why don't you come and find my sister and me? I'm still worried that my sister won't be able to come. My sister probably doesn't know anyone here? My sister, shall I take my sister for a stroll?"

Ming Lanying smiled and hadn't spoken yet, but the little sisters around Ming Jiazhen immediately asked questions.

"Jiazhen, is this your sister?"

"Why have we never met? Haven't heard you talk about it?"

"We should all know who can come to hold the spring banquet? Dare I ask which family my sister is from?"

Ming Lanying took Ning'er's little hand and put it behind her back, and interrupted the chattering voice with a smile, "I don't blame my sisters, my concubine is from Commander Ye's mansion, and my seventeenth sister called me big sister. Who could it be?"

Ming Jiazhen said that the eldest sister is still under the leadership of Ye Tong, and only Ming Lanying, the good-for-nothing of the Ming family who failed to climb the bed.

The little girls who were chattering and buzzing just now became quiet all of a sudden, looking at the graceful and smiling Ming Lanying in disbelief and shock, they shouted in their hearts that it was impossible!

Ming Jiazhen spoke out at the right time, "Why didn't the big sister tell my younger sister when she came here for the first time, so that my younger sister could introduce me to the sisters formally."

The white eyes of the crane behind Ming Lanying almost rolled to the sky, but Ming Lanying would rather fuck herself than let her talk too much, otherwise she would bite Ming Jiazhen anyway.

Ming Lanying tilted her head, and said jokingly: "Sister Seventeen's words are strange, isn't Mrs. Dingguo and Mrs. Yong'anhou hosting today's spring banquet? Naturally, I will see you immediately when I come. Two ladies, what my sister said seems to be the host!"

In the past two days, I have had injections in my arm, and one arm is so painful that I can’t move it. The hard typing has also affected the remaining brain, and I have to paddle.
