The silver man silently turned the jade plate.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jin Lan got up early in the morning and changed into a white peach-red plaid with many flowers. He wore a dress with gold thread embroidered on it made from shallow lotus powder. It was a new autumn dress, and he was rushing it so quickly that he was able to reach the front of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mama Tang was combing her hair, her fingertip passing through the soft and black hair. She instantly and skillfully separated a few strands of hair, "Young lady, you can't be too modest today. How about we just make a hanging bun?"

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in a little while, there would be a feast. It was naturally not as casual as usual. Jin Lan thought for a moment, then nodded his head in agreement.

Bi He held her hands at the side and opened a drawer at the bottom of the mirror. Inside, there was a golden velvet cloth and on top of it, there was a set of jewelry that was embedded with pure gold jade. From the steps to the hairpins to the earrings, it was all there, and its style was extremely good.

This was something the Old Madame Ye had brought back from the capital. Each of the three ladies of Ye Family had one set, but it was Jin Lan's "Butterfly Love Flower" set that was the most exquisite.

Jin Lan was wearing a flowery dress today, and with this set of jewelry, it would be the most suitable. However, she shook her head at Bi He, "Change it to a different set.

The old lady did not like people who liked to be pampered the most. She had angered the old lady a few days ago, so it was better for her to keep a low profile today. Besides, she was pretending to be sick, so where did she get to dress up so brilliantly to make the old lady suspicious again?

Hearing this, Bi He said hesitantly, "But I believe the First Miss and the three young misses will probably..."

"I know." Jin Lan waved her hand to interrupt Bi He, and said with a light voice, "Just do as I say."

Seeing that, Bi He could only let it go, and gently closed the drawer, opening the box he usually used.

In the end, Jin Lan chose a silk gold hairpin encrusted with goose-fat jade and gems. She wore only a carved Shuangfu and Tian Baiyu bracelet, which, although not a set of jewelry, caught her eye.

Her face was fair, her lips were like a cherry blossom, her eyebrows were like ink, and her eyes were like autumn water. Although her face was still sickly pale and lacking a trace of brilliance, there was an extra touch of gentleness in the morning light.

"Miss, you've grown up." Mama Tang looked at Jin Lan who was reflected in the water luster mirror and praised: "She will definitely be an extremely beautiful person in the future."

Jin Lan's cheeks flushed red, she glanced at Mama Tang unhappily: "Mama, if I were to ask an outsider to learn it, how would I be embarrassed?"

Mama Tang smiled as she looked at Jin Lan's embarrassed face, "With just me and Bi He, who would be so talkative?" As she spoke, she looked at Bi He wrongly and said meaningfully, "Do you think so, Bi He?"

Bi He's hands paused for a moment to clear up the dowry before she smiled and said, "Of course." Then she lowered her head and placed the ivory comb and the comb, one by one, back into place.

The light in Jin Lan's eyes flickered, and he did not say anything more. He looked at the color of the sky, then stood up and walked towards the Shuixie Pavilion.

Originally, Meng Mansion sent out a card inviting Madame SHen and Jin Lan to a banquet, but Jin Lan's body was not well, and Madame SHen was also busy to the point of being disoriented, hence he tactfully declined.

When Jin Lan arrived at the Shuixie Pavilion, the Madame SHen had just finished packing up, and the mother and daughter pair went to pay their respects to the old lady.

When Madame SHen brought Jin Lan to the Jiayu Hall, there were already sounds coming from inside. Pin Yue respectfully lifted the curtain and upon entering the room, she saw Ye Jinwei, who was wearing a red peonish peonies with a lined jacket, nudging the old lady. She spoke softly, and no one knew what she was talking about, causing the old lady's face to be filled with smiles.

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The old lady had allowed her to leave the Tranquil Heart Residence, but she didn't expect to arrive so early in the morning. It would take almost an hour to get here and there. If she kept this up, Ye Jinwei would probably be up before daybreak. And her demeanor … Jin Lan looked at the jewelry that Ye Jinwei was wearing. As expected, it was the set of pure gold jewelry that the Old Granny was giving him.

Seeing Madame SHen and Jin Lan come in, Ye Jinwei immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Mother, second sister." The tone was especially intimate.

Jin Lan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and a sweet smile appeared on his face as he returned her salute. "Big sister."

Although Madame SHen's expression was indifferent, she nodded her head, "Stand up."

The Old Madame Ye smiled amiably and gently as she sized up Jin Lan's clothes, and then carefully examined the color of her face, waving at her: "Has Girl Lan been getting better recently?"

Then, he went forward and held Old Madame Ye's arm, "It's much better now. It's really Lan Er's fault for making grandmother worry."

"Stop!" The old lady deliberately made a face. "It's so early in the morning and you want to curse yourself. "You are my lifeblood. You have to be fine."

Ye Jinwei also came over, and smiled as she nodded: "Old granny is right, Second sister, you have to be more careful of your own body. Recently, I have been meditating everyday to pray for second sister's luck, I hope second sister can recover soon."

When these words came out, not only Jin Lan, but even the Madame SHen's face flashed with a strange look. Only Old Madame Ye did not seem to notice anything wrong and continued to smile merrily.

Jin Lan turned his face over, the smile on Ye Jinwei's face was beautiful, no matter how he looked at it, she was a good older sister who cared about her sister. However, she knew in her heart that this was just a facade. The savagery hidden behind that bright smile had long since been clearly seen by her.

He was already thankful that he didn't curse her now. How could she calm her heart and pray for him to recite the scriptures?

"I was wondering why she suddenly felt so comfortable, it was originally elder sister's credit, younger sister should thank elder sister here, especially in front of the old lady. I let mother deliver the copied scriptures to Lingji Temple, to the Buddha, it could be counted as elder sister's credit."

Ye Jinwei's smile froze on her face, and she nodded her head as though nothing had happened, and said: "Copying a scripture for my sister, it's just a result of my intentions, it's nothing to say, it's just that I'm not finished copying it yet, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a few more days."

The smile on Jin Lan's face deepened as he looked at her flickering gaze. He said, "There's no need to worry. Elder sister doesn't need to worry. I'm willing to wait."

Ye Jinwei hated him to the core until it started to itch, but on the surface, he could only smile and reply, "Okay."

Seeing that the two sisters were being intimate, the Old Madame Ye's smile became even more satisfied. She raised her head to look at the Madame SHen and asked: "Is the family feast ready?"

Madame SHen nodded her head and replied: "Everything has been arranged, put it in the Zhiyun Palace."

Not far from the Jiayu Hall, on the lotus pond, there was a beautiful scenery and there was even a stage set up in the early days. The old lady loved to watch the show. After the family banquet was over, she could even listen to one or two of the plays. It was an excellent arrangement.

Old Madame Ye nodded, her expression becoming more amiable.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, Ye Jinxian and Ye Yu entered the house one after another.

Ye Yu was dressed in a blue satin gown with silver inscriptions on the sides. A jade belt was tied around his waist, it was adorned with a double-ringed moon pendant, he was wearing green satin powder boots, his entire person looked like a lucky girl in a new year painting.

Old Madame Ye naturally hugged Ye Yu and rubbed his mouth, she was so amused that she couldn't close his mouth, and instead ignored Ye Jinxian who was at the side.

Jin Lan looked at Ye Jinxian who had bowed and then quietly retreated to the side, a complicated look in her eyes. Before she could think too much, she heard Ye Jinwei say: "Second sister, third sister, look! The old lady was really biased, the moment Yu Ge'er came, she had already forgotten about us."

Ye Jinxian timidly raised his head to look, and discovered that Jin Lan was staring at him. The corners of her mouth lifted into a smile, and she once again lowered his head.

Only then did Jin Lan turn his gaze to Ye Yu.

Perhaps because of what happened last time that scared him to death, he no longer dared to be rude towards Jin Lan. He shouted honestly at Jin Lan, "Sister Second Sister."

Jin Lan smiled and nodded.

Old Madame Ye saw everything, patted the back of Jin Lan's hand, and then pointed at Ye Jinwei's forehead with her index finger: "With your glib mouth, start making arrangements for your little brother in front of me."

He then picked up the teacup and giggled. "I didn't arrange it, just look at the tea leaves and you will know that when we came here just now, it was in a Da Hong Pao, but now that the Yu Ge'er has come, it had turned into mist. If grandmother wasn't biased, what was it?"

A few words caused everyone to reveal a smile, and for a moment, the room was filled with laughter and chatter, bustling with noise and excitement.

Madame SHen sat for a while and then took her leave. Although Man Ping and Hui Xiu were at the side of the Sesame Rice Restaurant, they did not make much of a threat, as this was the first time she had handled such a huge matter. It was impossible for anything to go wrong, so she had to watch over them personally.

When noon came, Ye Lin hurried back to the house, washed up and changed his clothes, then went to Jiayu Hall to talk to the old lady. Not long after, the Madame SHen sent Man Ping over to invite him.

Only then did everyone gather around the old lady and head to the Sesame House.

When it came to's generation, most of the people were no longer as prosperous as they were in the past, and so they were not separated. The old lady sat on the main seat, while the Ye Lin and Madame SHen sat on the left and right side of the table. And Ye Yu's next target was Ye Yu. Even the Concubine Ning made an exception and arranged a seat, it was just a little far back, at the bottom of Ye Jinxian.

Jin Lan did not see the figure of Concubine Shao at the banquet. It seemed like the old lady had steeled her heart to let her "rest and nurture the womb".

On the round table, which was covered with a red and gold brocade, a large table made out of yellow pear-shaped flowers and birds, was filled with golden buddhist hand rolls, butterfly scrolls, ginger fish slices, bamboo shoots, jade palms, pearl tofu, ten thousand words coral cabbage, and other delicious and delicious dishes.

With the disappearance of the Concubine Shao, Jin Lan felt that the dishes were exceptionally delicious. He had only eaten two mouthfuls when a rustling sound came from behind him, followed by a "ding" sound, and a bowl of warm broth sprinkled onto her body.
