Chapter 78

"Pear girl, you are going to enter the palace with us tomorrow." Mrs. Jiang said, "tell your mother what you need and your mother will be ready for you."

Jiang Li nodded and said yes.

"This is your first time to enter the palace in Yanjing city. Don't break the rules. If you don't understand, just ask. If you don't know how to do it during the introduction, just follow the girl Youyao." Mrs. Jiang carefully asked, "clothes and jewelry are ready for you. Tomorrow you represent the face of the Jiang family. I believe you can do well."

For the first time, Mrs. Jiang praised her, and Jiang Li smiled and nodded, without showing a very excited appearance.

In this way, Jiang yu'e, who fell to one side, was very unhappy. Jiang yu'e watched Jiang Li's status improve bit by bit after she returned to the house. It's always hated that people laugh at people. Jiang Li's life is good. It's very dazzling in Jiang yu'e's eyes. I wish Jiang Li fell into hell overnight and lived worse than herself.

"Pear girl is really good. This time, her majesty is required to give gifts in person. The younger generation in our house can do it alone." Lu Shi smiled and said, "I heard that ye Shijie is the leader of the Imperial College this year. Ye Shijie is from the Ye family in Xiangyang. To say it, he is also close to our yuan family. He is also Jiang Li's cousin."

Ye Zhenzhen died for many years, and the Jiang family also had no contact with Ye Zhenzhen's mother's family. At this time, Lu Shi mentioned Ye Shijie, naturally to block Ji shuran's heart. You know, Ji shuran's nephew didn't even make the list in the Imperial College red list, let alone the leader.

Jiang Li sighed slightly when she heard Lu mention Ye Shijie. She didn't want to involve the Ye family in the muddy water of the Jiang family. The Ye family is in Xiangyang. She has to rely on the Ye family to return to Xiangyang to worship Xue Huaiyuan in the future. It may not be a good thing for the Ye family to involve the Ye family and the Jiang family.

She hopes the Ye family is clean.

Ji shuran smiled and looked at Jiang Li: "yes, I also thought pear should walk more with the young master of the Ye family. Although sister Zhenzhen has gone, the two families are in laws in the end. If the young master of the Ye family enters the official career, our old master can help in the future. They are all from their own family, and it's better to help their own family than outsiders."

Jiang Li's eyes moved when she heard the speech.

Ji shuran's words are very sincere. But will Ji shuran really be so kind, and even let Jiang Yuanbai help Ye Shijie? This is impossible. Ji shuran will only let people secretly suppress Ye Shijie. It's not that Jiang Li deliberately makes people think dark, but that she knows what kind of person Ji shuran is after spending so many days in Jiang's house.

This time, Zhou Yanbang even proposed to terminate his marriage with Jiang Youyao and stay with him. It's strange that Ji shuran's mother and daughter don't hate and poison themselves.

But up to now, Ji shuran's mother and daughter are very quiet and have not been demons.

Jiang Li thought of this and looked at Ji shuran.

Ji shuran smiled Xianshu, as if she were really a loving mother, but Jiang Li felt that her eyes were more like a poisonous Python hovering on the branches, squinting her eyes, slowly looking at her prey, sending out a gloomy smile, and her fangs were still quenched with poison.

What is she calculating.

Jiang Li's eyes fell on Jiang Youyao again.

Jiang Youyao is younger than Ji shuran, and her expression is flawless. She also tries to show a smile as if there were no one else, but she can't hide her hatred for Jiang Li in her eyes, and there is a trace of excitement for some unknown reason.

That kind of sticky eyes made Jiang Li seem familiar, but in a flash, Jiang Li didn't know when she had seen it. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that this kind of eyes made her very uncomfortable, and her back was cold, which made her wake up in an instant.

Yang didn't speak much in the Jiang family, only a pair of shrewd eyes dribbled around, looking at Jiang Li and Ji shuran for a while.

Old lady Jiang didn't say much, but she told Jiang Li about entering the palace. In fact, these Jiang Li had known that she had followed Shen Yurong's family into the palace at the beginning. As the court's commander, the rules of the yuan family are much easier.

It's been a long time since Mrs. Jiang explained everything one by one. Thinking that we had to go back and prepare, everyone dispersed from Wanfeng hall.

Jiang Li went out of the gate of Wanfeng hall and walked to his yard. Fangfei garden is in the corner of Jiang Fu, and the courtyard of Jiang Youyao is not in the same direction, so it's not necessary to go with her.

Just didn't expect to walk for a short time, and someone called her behind her: "second sister."

Turning around, it was Jiang yu'e and Jiang yu'yan sisters.

For these two people, Jiang Yuyan was silent, but Jiang yu'e never had a good face for Jiang Li. Seeing Jiang yu'e, Jiang Li knew what the other party was planning.

"Second sister, you walk so fast that I can hardly catch up." Jiang yu'e opened her mouth affectionately.

Jiang Li stood where she was, unwilling even to be insincere, and politely said, "what's the matter with the fifth sister?"

Jiang yu'e didn't expect that Jiang Li would disdain even pretending to be a face, and her face was a little uneasy. However, for a moment, she quickly adjusted and said with a smile, "today I'm in Wanfeng hall, and the second sister hasn't come yet. I heard something." Speaking of this, Jiang yu'e paused deliberately and said, "it's the marriage of the third sister. The eldest aunt said that the marriage between the third sister and Zhou Shizi has been settled, and it will be the beginning of spring at the end of next winter. I think the second sister may not know this, so she specially came to tell the second sister."

Just for this?

Tong'er was a little angry. Jiang Li smiled and said, "thank you for telling me. I know."

It seemed that she was dissatisfied with Jiang Li's flat tone. Jiang yu'e carefully looked at Jiang Li's face, and saw that Jiang Li had no expression of pain and loss, He said, "in fact, the marriage between the second sister and Zhou Shizi was also a good marriage at the beginning. If the second sister hadn't had an accident, now it was the second sister who married into the Marquis of Ningyuan. Zhou Shizi is one of the best couples in the whole Yanjing city. Now the third sister can marry into the Zhou family without any effort. The second sister is even older than the third sister, but the marriage hasn't been settled. I sincerely complain for the second sister."

Jiang Yuyan glanced at Jiang Li in some fear. If she wanted to stop Jiang yu'e, she finally stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Jiang yu'e's clothes without saying anything.

Jiang Li didn't hurry to answer Jiang yu'e's words, but just stared at Jiang yu'e carefully, smiling at the corners of her mouth. Her smile was gentle and clear, without any one in it, but Jiang yu'e looked at it for no reason and was a little flustered.

In order to break through this sense of oppression, Jiang yu'e asked Jiang Li, "what does the second sister think of staring at me?"

"Nothing." Jiang Liyun said lightly, "I just feel that five younger sisters are so worried about me, and I'm a little moved, but..." she said lightly, "do you know the intentions of five younger sisters, mother and three younger sisters?"

Jiang yu'e's face suddenly changed.

She was eager to come and poke Jiang Li's heart, but she didn't know what would happen if the sentence "complaining for the second sister" fell in Ji shuran's mother's and daughter's ears.

Jiang yu'e reluctantly smiled and said, "this is my intimate words with my second sister..."

Jiang Li looked at Jiang yu'e and smiled, "in fact, my five younger sisters don't have to worry too much about my marriage. My father is the head of the dynasty. No matter how bad Yanjing city is, you can find an official family to marry. That is, my mother doesn't worry about me, and my father and old lady, I'm the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family's big house, and can I marry low?" She took a meaningful look at Jiang yu'e: "although the five younger sisters have not reached the hairpin, it's better to take care of themselves. The third uncle's career is not bright now. According to the potential of the third uncle and the third aunt, it's hard to say where the five younger sisters will marry in the future."

Seeing Jiang yu'e's face turn iron blue in an instant, Jiang Li was in a good mood, and continued to say, "in this world, you know, although talent, appearance, temperament and morality are very important, without family background, they are nothing. Otherwise, look at those girls in the capital leaning on the Red Mansions, which are not one in a million beautiful, hybrid Lanxin, but they will be a girl all their lives."

With these words, she didn't wait for Jiang yu'e to answer, so she took tong'er and floated away.

I didn't see the expression of Jiang yu'e behind me.

On the way back, tong'er laughed and fell all the way. When she returned to Fangfei garden, she told the matter to Bai Xue. After saying that, she laughed and said, "you didn't see Miss five's face at that time. Ouch, our girl is really capable. Compared with Miss five and the girls in yihonglou in Yanjing City, Miss five must be angry. Spit, who made her feel bad and deliberately provoke!"

"Why is Miss Wu always having trouble with our girls?" Mingyue was young and asked curiously, "if miss three can't get along with the girl, it's because both miss three and the girl are the legitimate daughter of the big room. Miss three is jealous, but miss five is from the third room, and the girl doesn't hinder her."

"It's good to be shameful." Tong'er blurted out, "everyone has to be as bitter as she is. Why, the girl is a golden branch and jade leaf, why does she always compare with the girl? Isn't it a matter of course that the girl is better than her?"

Jiang Li listened to the comments of her servant girls and shook her head with a smile.

What Jiang yu'e wants is nothing more than being unwilling. Jiang yu'e hopes to see her down and sad, so that she can feel superior to herself. Jiang yu'e even hopes to stimulate herself with Zhou Yanbang, but what Jiang yu'e doesn't understand is that Jiang Li is really not interested in Zhou Yanbang.

Zhou Yanbang is a stranger to her, and she is also a very annoying stranger.

Jiang Li said, "there are such people who are not well-off but restless. They think about jumping on the branches all day long, thinking that the world is all unfair, and their hearts are unwilling. Such people can do anything."

Several servant girls nodded vaguely.

Jiang Li thought, in this way, in fact, Jiang yu'e and Shen Yurong are the same people. The more humble people feel the taste of high places, the more they yearn for high places and give birth to obsession, the more unscrupulous they are to climb up. It's just that Jiang yu'e doesn't know how to hide her unwillingness, while Shen Yurong too knows how to hide her unwillingness.

The cover up was so good that his wife couldn't even notice it, and thought he was a passionate ambition.

It's ridiculous.

Jiang Li's smile slowly subsided, and she remembered Jiang Youyao's eyes at her in the evening Phoenix hall. The kind of familiar eyes made her uncomfortable even now.

She has to be wary.

Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "tong'er, take my box."

……

The storm on the first day did not affect the joy of everyone entering the palace on the second day.

When Jiang yu'e saw Jiang Li again, she didn't give Jiang Li a cold shoulder because of yesterday's incident. She was still smiling as before, and even praised Jiang Li's skirt for its beauty.

Jiang Li replied, "five younger sisters are also very good."

Jiang yu'e is about to reach the hairpin. Although she is younger than Jiang Youyao and is the youngest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang yu'e is tall and only a little shorter than Jiang Li. She doesn't look childish at all. She was wearing a honey colored skirt with crab claws and chrysanthemums embroidered on the train, and her long hair was tied in a cloud bun, dotted with a Begonia, emerald beads and a jade hairpin.

In fact, this rich and noble dress has drowned Jiang yu'e's little Jasper style, but Jiang yu'e herself is very happy. Probably because the old lady asked the tailor to prepare the clothes and jewelry that came into the palace. Jiang yu'e rarely had such expensive clothes and jewelry in the past, so she didn't feel bad and was very satisfied.

Ji shuran is obviously happy with such a scene. Jiang Yuyan is ordinary in appearance, and Jiang Yue is too heavily dressed, which naturally makes Jiang Youyao stand out.

Jiang Youyao really took care of it. Apart from other things, her rose red frown gold double-layer long tailed Luan robe is enough to attract people's attention. Golden sparrow hairpin, eight treasure hand string, cherry red complexion around the waist, plus special makeup. Jiang Youyao seldom wears heavy makeup on weekdays. If she wants to enter the Palace this time, she rarely brushes her eyebrows, applies powder, and orders rouge. Her facial features are delicate and delicate, and she can withstand such heavy makeup. Standing under the flowers, she looks more charming and radiant.

If you enter the palace like this, you can really attract the attention of the noble childe. However, Jiang Li wondered why Jiang Youyao should dress up since she was engaged to Zhou Yanbang?

You know, Jiang Youyao doesn't care about others at all, let alone actively attract others.

When Jiang Li looked at Jiang Youyao, Ji shuran was also looking at Jiang Li. Lu Shi exaggerated and smiled, "if I didn't know these two servant girls, I really couldn't recognize pear girl."

Jiang Li is not used to dressing up. Maybe old lady Jiang also noticed her habits. This time, she asked the tailor to make clothes, and she didn't choose a red color. But because you want to be holy, don't be too plain. You still need some colors. Jiang Li is wearing a magnolia green double embroidered forged dress, which is matched with a jasper brocade skirt, with a clear and shallow emerald color. The gourd bun made her look especially fresh and refreshing. There was no hairpin embellishment on her head. Only two white jade earrings fell. The lined ears were small and exquisite, and the lined face was as white as jade.

She didn't wipe it as thick as Jiang Youyao, but only painted her eyebrows gently. Her eyebrows were like Luodai, her eyes were like paint, and her lips were light, but she had a dusty state.

Being with Jiang Youyao is like green bamboo to red flowers and Yougu to fireworks. Although the latter is popular, the former is easy to be printed in the brain.

Ji shuran turned around and gently pressed Jiang Youyao's shoulder. Jiang Youyao then put away her angry eyes.

On the other hand, old lady Jiang couldn't help looking at Jiang Li more. Among the daughters of the Jiang family, Sanfang was born of a concubine, and she despised her. The second room has no daughter. The two daughters of the eldest room originally thought Jiang Youyao was the apple of their eyes and was popular. Now it seems that Jiang Li, who was raised outside, is like a jade on the bank, with her own beautiful style.

It's really hard to tell which is better or worse now.

Jiang Yuanbai saw that his two daughters were slim and graceful. At this moment, he felt satisfied and said, "you can start."

Each room took a carriage. In the carriage Jiang Li took, Jiang Youyao kept flirting with Jiang Yuanbai, wondering whether it was to stimulate Jiang Li.

Jiang Li just smiled and looked at everything in front of her, indifferent, making Jiang Yuanbai a little uncomfortable. Jiang Li can see that Jiang Youyao often acts coquettish on Jiang Yuanbai. Jiang Yuanbai's uneasiness at the moment may be a guilty conscience for her daughter.

But she didn't look sad. Seeing this scene, Jiang Youyao seemed to punch cotton, and her heart was blocked. Ji shuran, who has been virtuous since then, did not stop Jiang Youyao's provocative behavior. I think so. It's normal for my daughter to play coquettish with her father. Where can I stop it?

Seeing that Jiang Li was unmoved, Jiang Yuanbai was slightly disappointed. This daughter is now beautiful and excellent. His father is not proud. Jiang Li didn't seem to complain about what he did in those days, and he never complained. This may be Jiang Li's generosity, but Jiang Yuanbai felt that Jiang Li didn't care.

Jiang Li seems to be watching strangers.

At the moment, Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage, thinking about going to the palace before.

At that time, she was really and deeply happy, proud of Shen Yurong's achievements and glad that she was his wife. She was afraid of losing face to Shen Yurong for doing something wrong, so she practiced nervously when she was in the house. She rarely felt so nervous. At that time, Shen Yurong laughed at her and said to her, "no fear. If Ali makes a mistake and provokes his majesty to anger, he will not be the official and go back to Tongxiang to farm with ALI."

She pretended to be angry and wanted to hit Shen Yurong, which made Shen Yurong laugh. Now I think of it, it's really like an eternity. In fact, instead of making a fool of herself at the Palace Banquet, she did a good job. The queen praised her intelligence. And Shen Yurong would not abandon her official position and rank for her at all. Instead, she would kill her in order to increase her official position and rank.

What she thought was true was not true, and what she thought was a lie was not a lie, true or false. This time, she would not be blinded by the way she had walked.

She will also walk slowly to the place she wants to go and finish what she is going to accomplish bit by bit.

Revenge for his father and Xue Zhao, and seek justice for himself who died unjustly.

When the carriage drove to the back, Jiang Youyao stopped talking and became silent. The family had their own thoughts, and they only felt that time passed quickly.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

The groom outside said, "madam, master, here you are."

Jiang Yuanbai got off first, and the servant woman below came to help Ji shuran and others. Jiang Lifu got off the carriage and collapsed on the land separated from the palace gate. Looking at the deep palace wall, his mood was complicated for a time.

It was in this palace that a vicious and domineering person like Princess Yongning grew up, oppressing the people with power, and Shen Yurong sacrificed her without hesitation in order to win a place in the magnificent palace.

The palace looks magnificent, but how many people live in it are walking dead? They wear gold and silver as if they have everything, but in fact they have nothing. Jiang Li pitied them, looked down on them, and was even less willing to be with them.

"Second sister, this is the palace gate." Jiang yu'e came down from the next carriage.

Jiang Li smiled, and Jiang Jingrui twisted his neck uneasily. He had to wear a mannequin today, and he couldn't be as presumptuous as he was at home. For Jiang Jingrui, it's almost killing him. Jiang Jingyou around him is as kind as ever, carved out of the same mold as Jiang Yuanping and his son.

Outside the palace gate, some official carriages came one after another, and those of lower grade came to greet Jiang Yuanbai like a flatterer. It was just that the Jiang family came a little late. Jiang Yuanbai had to meet emperor Hong Xiaodi first, so he didn't stop outside the palace gate too much, and the people who led him directly went inside.

Jiang Youyao thought that Jiang Li would be at a loss and too nervous when she entered the palace for the first time. It would be great if she could see Jiang Li make a fool of herself. Who knows, when I turned around, I saw Jiang Li walking especially leisurely with her skirt slightly lifted.

It seems that the palace is her own backyard.

Jiang Youyao couldn't help being depressed. Rao was her first time in the palace, and she was trembling for fear of doing something wrong, but Jiang Li didn't seem to be afraid of stage fright at all. Jiang Youyao deliberately wanted to pick the mistakes of Jiang Li, but until she quickly reached her destination, Jiang Li also did it without any mistakes.

Mrs. Jiang is very satisfied. After all, among the younger generation who come today, only Jiang Li is the stranger to the palace. She is afraid that Jiang Li has made a mistake. At present, Jiang Li is doing well, and there should be no problem.

At this moment, many officials and their families have come to the main hall of Yuming hall. These ladies and daughters are all family members of officials above the third grade in Yanjing, and their identities are valuable. Because the banquet has not yet started, most of them are talking to familiar people. For example, in such a palace banquet, the daughter's family tries to dress up themselves. These women, who have or do not have hairpins, are willing to look good at the Palace Banquet. Because today, many official viscounts, young talents and talents, and the atmosphere of Beiyan is more open than that of the previous dynasty. As long as young men and women don't do anything beyond that, they can marry each other through door-to-door marriage.

And in places like Palace Banquet, most of the people who come are matched by each other, which is a great convenience.

Sitting due east, a mother and daughter, about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a emerald floral crepe skirt, with a jade butterfly pattern on her head, are also beautiful. The women around her are also gorgeous, but in theory, they are not as natural as the ladies around them, with a little bit of cheapness.

The mother and daughter are Shen Yurong's mother and sister, Shen Ruyun.

Now Shen Yurong is a Buddhist monk in the Middle Kingdom. Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother can naturally come to the Palace Banquet. Although Shen Yurong is widowed, people in Yanjing know that it is Shen Yurong's wife xuefangfei who has an affair with others. The death of such a wife is an eye opener for heaven. Shen Yurong himself is young and promising, and he is even more handsome, unmarried and gentle. Many people have identified Shen Yurong and thought about sending their daughter to the Shen family.

You should know that the Shen family has a simple population, only Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother. In the future, when Shen Ruyun gets married, whose daughter can be in charge of the family without getting along with her younger sister-in-law, just getting along well with her mother-in-law. For many spoiled young ladies, this is already very good.

It was because of these thoughts in my heart that many noble women came to make friends with Shen's mother in Shen Yurong's face. They didn't dislike Shen's mother's small family. They were very enthusiastic about her and praised Shen Ruyun, which made Shen Ruyun a little floating.

Nie Xiaoshuang, Zhu xiner, and the two miss mingyitang in the same group also surrounded Shen Ruyun when they were checking the imperial shot with Jiang Li last time.

Seeing this, the catkins on one side snorted, whispered and bit Mrs. Liu's ear: "it's really the first time I've seen someone rushing to give a second string."

Mrs. Liu nodded willow catkins on her forehead and whispered, "only you talk much!"

"It is." Liu Xu murmured that she really despised the behavior of these classmates. It was still one of the most expensive girls in Yanjing city. Shen Zhuangyuan just died his wife, not to mention Xue Fangfei's character. Anyway, Shen Zhuangyuan showed his deep love for his dead wife, and those young ladies didn't think about it carefully. Since he was deeply in love with his dead wife, how could he continue so soon? If the string is renewed so quickly, Shen Zhuangyuan is not as affectionate as he shows, and he is also a person with different appearances.

Just then, I heard a person around me say, "I heard that the marriage between the prince of the Marquis house of Ningyuan and the third miss of the first auxiliary Jiang family is also scheduled for the end of next winter."

As soon as this word came out, Shen Ruyun at the other end immediately changed her face, and she said, "but really?"

"It's true." Nie Xiaoshuang said, "I also heard that my mother mentioned a few days ago that the marriage between Youyao and Zhou Shizi had been settled long ago, and now it's only the day, which is reasonable."

Shen Ruyun couldn't help complaining and sneered, "I remember that Zhou Shizi's marriage was decided with Miss Jiang Er early on."

People around looked at each other.

Shen Ruyun's words are not pleasant to hear. No one dares to answer them. If they do, they will offend the yuan family. Jiang Yuanbai is the head of the dynasty. Who dares to say that his daughter is not half right? However, Zhongshu Shirang's sister, who was also not easy to offend, had to be silent.

Just in silence, I also remembered what Shen Ruyun said. Indeed, it was not Jiang Li who was engaged to Zhou Yanbang at the beginning. This younger sister insisted on her sister's marriage, which is always disgraceful. Everyone went to see Mrs. Hou Ningyuan's face.

Ningyuan Houfu seemed to turn a deaf ear to all this, and was talking and laughing with Dr. Yi Lang's wife, Ji Chen's, that is, Ji shuran's immediate sister, as if he hadn't heard the people around.

Only one knows whether he hears it or not.

Willow catkins wanted to complain for Jiang Li, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to look at the door frequently, thinking how Jiang Li hadn't arrived yet.

At this time, the informed maid preached that the women of the yuan family arrived.

People looked at the door and saw that the first one was old lady Jiang, Ji shuran was in front, Lu was immediately behind, followed by Yang, the girls of the Jiang family, who came in slowly.
