The city of tingruo in front of Wuchang Marquis's mansion is very busy. The carriages stop one by one with their family's emblem. Xiao Liuyan looks at it roughly, and his heart is slightly awe inspiring. This spring banquet, the family members of officials above grade three in Beijing all come.
"Madam Xiao, you are here. I will take you in. Madam Hou is waiting for you." A mother dressed in green and with a serious manner came forward to greet Hu with a smile, and her eyes swept over the two girls with different styles behind Hu.
"Thank you, Mammy Hu's smile is gentle, holding Xiao Liuyue's hand and pushing her slightly to the front. Seeing this, Mammy Gong opens her mouth and says: "this is the lady's daughter. She is really outstanding!"
Hearing the praise of the palace mother, Xiao Liuyue smiles slightly and looks very dignified and generous. A touch of joy at the bottom of her eyes betrays her excited mood at the moment. Xiao Liuyan looks at the palace mother carefully, and her eyes are slightly cold.
Although the palace mother dressed simple, but that implied a noble spirit, as well as walking between the pace of steady rigorous, let her think of a place - the palace!
This palace mother comes from the Imperial Palace, but the lady of Wu Chang's Marquis's residence is a princess, but she is not qualified to ask the palace mother to do some etiquette lessons for her daughter. I think this is a lady from the palace
As for the candidate of the representative, she doesn't need to think about it, It's the empress who is the most favored by the emperor now. The Marquis's residence in Wuchang is the mother's home of the empress. The spring banquet is also the day that the young ladies and gentlemen want to see.
The purpose of this is clear.
"This is --" mother Gong looked at Xiao Liuyue, and naturally noticed Xiao Liuyan. The girl's delicate dress, but not like a child, could not suppress her noble spirit. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes and elegant temperament surprised an old lady who had been floating in the palace for many years.
Hu's eyes were a little displeased when she saw that mammy Gong noticed Xiao Liuyan, but she still said with a smile: "this is the eldest lady in your family. She is Liuyan, the only child of sister Jing. She is very clever!"
The palace mother's eye ground flits over to put on disappointment, nod, "Madam Xiao this way please." Eyes no longer on the body of Xiao Liuyan, Xiao Liuyan eyebrow tip a pick, the mother before and after the attitude seems to be some wrong ah?
Looking at the three people in front, Xiao Liuyan thought. Seeing this, Yu Niang whispered in her ear, "Miss, when your mother was in the boudoir, she had some problems with Lu's concubine, so you have to be careful today."
"I see." Xiao Liuyan nodded. It makes sense to say so. Mother Gong is obviously the person beside the princess. It makes sense to know that she has a holiday with her mother.
In this way, she can understand that she became a virtuous princess in her last life. At that time, the empress had long passed away, and all the affairs in the palace were handled by this lady. Even when she went to the palace to thank her, she visited her first. At that time, she didn't like her appearance very much, but she didn't say much, and her eyes were a little strange.
Xiao Liuyan, Xiao Liuyue and several other common women followed the Hu family. Mammy Gong first went to inform Mrs. Hou. She walked all the way through the langting, corridor and garden of the Wu Chang Marquis's mansion. Finally, she entered the special reception hall of the Wu Chang Marquis's mansion. Before she got there, she heard bursts of laughter.
Madame Gong went in first and reported a few words in Madame Hou's ear. Madame Hou xuanyang's eyes flashed slightly. Looking at the ladies present, she said with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen, follow me to welcome Madame Xiao of the prime minister's residence."
"Is Mrs. Xiao here, too? It's said that her daughter Xiao Liuyue is as good-looking as a fairy A lady covered her mouth and praised that her rainbow fart made many ladies look at her with new eyes.
Because xuanyang princess said that she was greeting, in fact, she had already arrived in front of the hall. Her words just fell into Hu's and Xiao Liuyue's ears. The mother and daughter looked at each other, and both saw a touch of satisfaction from each other's eyes.
"My wife thinks that the eldest girl in Xiao's house is the most beautiful in the world. I liked the banquet that old lady Xiao held for her at that time."
This voice made Xiao Liuyue's face change, with a touch of resentment in her eyes. However, as soon as Hu pinched her palm, she immediately turned pale. When they entered the reception hall, they saw many ladies sitting or standing talking.
"Mrs. Xiao," Princess xuanyang stepped forward quickly with a familiar smile on her face. Hu's smile was also very gentle. She had a good chat with her first. Princess xuanyang looked at Xiao Liuyue and said with a friendly smile:
"I haven't seen you for a long time. The moon is more and more moving. Looking at this style, it's really not inferior to what you used to be!"
Hu covered his mouth and chuckled, "what's wrong, madam?" Give Xiao Liuyue a look.
"Liuyue has seen Mrs. Hou," said Xiao Liuyue with a very elegant salute. She was wearing a plain Liuxian dress, and her hair bun was the latest fashion girl's bun. Her hair ornaments were simple and elegant, and she stood there like a luminous body, dazzling and bright.Hearing Xiao Liuyue's voice, many ladies looked at her and said with admiration, "Mrs. Xiao is really able to raise a daughter. These two ladies are really beautiful!"
"Yes, who in Beijing doesn't know that the second miss of the Xiao family is so talented and refined!"
"Don't always boast about this girl. Which of the ladies' daughters is not the best, especially miss Zhenzhen of the Houfu's family. Last time I saw her, I thought I saw the princess when she was young!" Hu is very good at speaking, which makes many ladies feel comfortable. Looking at Xiao Liuyue, her eyes are a little kind.
Even when Mrs. Hou heard that someone praised her daughter, she was also happy. Her eyes flashed over Xiao Liuyan's body, and she sipped her lips. She asked with a faint smile:
"Mrs. Xiao, are these the common girls of your family?"
Listening to Mrs. Hou's malicious words, Xiao Liuyan didn't have any annoyance. She just went forward and gracefully saluted. Her smile was more appropriate. As soon as she came forward, everyone's eyes lit up, as if she had entered a fire.
"Xiao family, Xiao Liuyan has met Mrs. Hou and ladies. How are you Xiao Liuyan's cold figure is like a mountain spring in the forest, flowing in people's ears, with a touch of spiritual power of washing, refreshing and bright.
"Is this the young lady of the Xiao family?"
Someone recognized Xiao Liuyan's identity, but last time they didn't go to Xiao's house to attend the banquet, so they had a very shallow impression of Xiao Liuyan. They only remembered that he was a poor child who was raised in the family temple as soon as he was born.
Some soft hearted ladies saw Xiao Liuyan's appearance and flashed a touch of love, "you are really gorgeous, madam Xiao, you are so lucky!"
