The capital's Ye Family is a noble's home, the old master has received the rank of second-class official, which is the main branch of the house. With the help of the old ancestor, the second and third branch have never taken any big advantage, and the power of the house is firmly held in the long room.

The old ancestor's birthday party this time had more than just the Jinlan faction. A few days ago, quite a few ladies' carriages had arrived, so when Jin Lan and his family entered the mansion, a group of maidservants came to welcome them. The leader was a lady with a jade hairpin on her head. She was Mama Wu who had returned to the capital a step earlier than the two of them and said, "Greetings to the young lady." After getting up, he continued to smile: "Are you First Miss s of the Orchid Hall and the Second Miss s of the Orchid Hall?"

During the time of the division, the Ye Family was divided into four halls based on the Plum Orchid Flower, which represented the four side branches that had been divided.

Mama Shang lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. When Mama Wu saw him, she was not surprised at all.

Before Jin Lan and the rest had entered the mansion, Steward Li had already sent someone to deliver a letter. Now that he had asked, he only wanted to confirm it, and upon seeing Mama Shang, he was even more sure that the person who had come was the Lan Tang girl.

As Wan Ju supported Jin Lan down the car, Ye Jinwei also slowly walked over. After the maids and wives bowed, Mama Wu said with a face full of smiles: "The Old Ancestor looks forward to it day and night, you've finally brought this lady here."

"Mama Wu, long time no see." Ye Jinwei had a charming smile on her face as she kept her blessings on her shoulders. She gave this ancestor's savior enough respect.

Jin Lan glanced at her, and politely bowed, "Good day, Mama."

"Ouch!" This is not something that can be done. " Seeing the two of them act this way, the smile on Mama Wu's face became even wider, but she did not dare accept their greetings. She easily avoided them and extended her hand, "Lady Jin Wei and Lady Jin Lan, I have already prepared the Soft Palanquin.

The main house had five entrances, a large and a small garden, and also led to the Tai Chi Lake as the swimming lake. All of the sights that Ye Jinwei saw along the way left him completely dumbstruck. This was not the first time Jin Lan had entered the mansion. In his previous life, he had stayed in the mansion for quite a while, so he was not in the mood to watch. He just sat on the Soft Palanquin quietly, then lowered his head to think about his actions.

The palanquin turned and turned, one day it was the veranda, the next it was the garden. Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the Soft Palanquin suddenly stopped.

Someone blocked his way.

Jin Lan raised his head and saw a young girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with skin as white as snow, and raven hair. She was extremely pretty.

Jin Lan recognized this person. It was my Seventh Miss, Ye Jinyan.

"Seventh Miss." Mama Wu stepped forward and bowed, smiling like a spring breeze. "These are the two young misses, Lady Jin Wei and Lady Jin Lan of the Orchid Hall."

Jin Lan and Ye Jinwei got off the Soft Palanquin and greeted Ye Jinyan. "Elder sister, greetings sister."

Ye Jinyan stood there unmoving, coldly sizing up the two people, as though she wanted to see a flower from their faces.

Seeing that Ye Jinyan did not return the greeting, Mama Wu knew that she had changed her character. She hurriedly added, "Seventh Miss, this is the first time you sisters have met each other. I'm afraid it's too unfamiliar.

When Ye Jinyan saw Mama Wu bring out the Old Ancestor, her expression finally changed. She raised her chin and snorted coldly, "I thought it was some three headed, six armed person, but I guess it's only to this extent. With that, she turned around and left, not even putting them in her eyes.

Ye Jinwei was immediately angered, but Jin Lan didn't think much of it. Her Seventh Miss, Ye Jinyan, was a young lady who was born with a long bloodline, and the Old Ancestor had always held her in high regard. But … Her brows furrowed slightly, this was the first time they had met, and it was not as if they had provoked anyone, why would Ye Jinyan be so angry?

Jin Lan did not speak, but that did not mean that Ye Jinwei could endure this. She turned and climbed onto the Soft Palanquin, and raised her eyebrows at the Mama Wu, "I heard that Big Sister Jin Yan is the apple of the eye in the palace, and is indeed different from the rest.

What kind of person was the Mama Wu? How could she not hear the mockery in Ye Jinwei's words? The smile on her face immediately faded.

Jin Lan looked at Ye Jinwei. Since she knew Ye Jinyan's name, she knew that Ye Jinyan had been raised by the old ancestor since she was young. But if she were to say it in front of the Mama Wu, wouldn't that mean she was slapping the old ancestor's face? He even used the word "we", making it clear that he wanted to drag him into the water.

After thinking about it, Jin Lan looked at Mama Wu again, without showing any emotion on his face, he chuckled: "Mama, how much longer until we arrive? We have to leave quickly, and not let the Old Ancestor wait too long. "

Mama Shang looked around and said sternly: "The patriarch's Longevity Hall will be waiting for us at Seventh Miss's Pear Fragrance Court."

Seeing that the Mama Shang had opened her mouth, he did not have any more airs, and raised her smile again, saying: "The gate to the moon in front of us is the Pear Fragrance Court, after a short walk, we will reach the Longevity Hall."

Jin Lan raised his head and looked around. Ten steps later, he would arrive at the Moon Gate, probably because it was not far from the Pear Blossom House, which was why Ye Jinyan came here to stop them.

"Since it's only a few steps, we don't need Soft Palanquin s anymore. We don't want others to see them, so they think we don't know their manners." She smiled lightly, turned her head and looked at Ye Jinwei who was sitting on the Soft Palanquin, "What does big sister think?"

Ye Jinwei's face suddenly became ugly, she clenched her teeth and stood up, then forced a smile: "Sister's words are reasonable, then let's go."

Mama Wu gave Jin Lan a deep look, then continued to lead them towards the Longevity Hall.

Passing through the moon gate, they walked forward for over a hundred steps before reaching Pear Courtyard. With just a glance, everyone headed straight for the Longevity Hall, and in a short period of time, they circled around a wall of flowers. When they reached the veranda, they could faintly hear the sounds of chatting and laughter.

The Mama Shang secretly gave Wan Ju and Bi He a meaningful glance. The two of them were already very nervous, but right now, they had restrained their expressions. They held their breath as they followed behind Jin Lan, not moving an inch.

Seeing this, Mama Shang calmed down.

When Si Ling and Qian Yun saw this, they also quickly followed behind Ye Jinwei like they had learned something. However, Ye Jinwei's expression was not as calm as Jin Lan's.

After turning a corner, ten figures appeared in front of them. There were maidservants of all sizes, and some of them were standing on the veranda talking. The laughter and chatter they had heard earlier were all from them.

Upon seeing Mama Wu, the servants quickly stopped talking and went up to greet him. "Paying respects to Mama Wu." Some of the more observant ones noticed the Mama Shang at the side and quickly muttered, "Greetings, Mama Shang."

The greetings rose and fell one after another, but when their gazes made contact with Jin Lan and Ye Jinwei, who were following behind Mama Wu, they instantly quietened down.

The Mama Wu waited for them to finish saluting before scolding with a dark face: "If you aren't serving the master, then what are you all doing here?"

Everyone shrunk their necks, and a bold servant girl replied with a smile: "Mama, Seventh Miss sent the servants out. She said that the ladies were talking to the Old Ancestor, and did not need the servants to attend to them."

Mama Wu guessed that it was also because of Seventh Miss, so she deliberately slowed down her footsteps. Firstly, it was for Jin Lan's body, and secondly, it was to let Seventh Miss go to the Old Ancestor's house earlier.

Seventh Miss did not like these two from the Orchid Hall, so she was clear about it, especially after hearing that the Old Ancestor had sent Mama Shang to the Yangzhou, her performance became even more obvious.

However, he did not expect Seventh Miss to send all of the maidservants that the maidservants of each courtyard had brought here. If the two maidservants of the Orchid Hall had behaved in such a manner, they would probably lose a great deal of face.

However, this might be good as well. If they could not even keep this small scene under control, then the Old Ancestor would not need to give them any pointers. Mama Wu's mind quickly spun, her expression did not change at all, she nodded to the servants, then brought Jin Lan and the rest to move out of the way.

Jin Lan didn't even glance at him, but she was aware that someone was sizing her up. She pretended to ignore him and followed the Mama Wu at a leisurely pace.

Even though Ye Jinwei was nervous, she was also striding gracefully with a beautiful smile on her face.

Only when they were far away did they finally hear a voice louder than the one they had just heard.

"What kind of girl is this? She looks even more beautiful than the other girls."

"What's the use of looking good? "If your clothes are so shabby, I'm afraid you must be from somewhere in the countryside, right?"

"As I see it, the tall girl is dressed very well. The hairpin on her head seems to be something from the Moon Laying Hall, but the short one is indeed a bit shabby."

"Maybe it was born from a concubine, her attire isn't comparable to a direct relative of a lady …"

The servants discussed animatedly, but their words did not reach Jin Lan's ears. Mama Wu led them through the corridors, to the Longevity Hall, and when the old gatekeepers saw them, they sent people in to inform them.

When they reached the steps to the main building, a servant girl with an upright posture and a full body came out. She greeted them with a smile, "Lady Jin Wei, Lady Jin Lan, the Old Ancestor invites you in."

"Thank you elder sister." Jin Lan smiled faintly at her. This maid was called Lixia, the senior servant girl by the Old Ancestor's side. Furthermore, the one beside the Old Ancestor was even more dignified than a normal lady. Calling her elder sister 'elder sister' would not be a disgrace to their own family.

Ye Jinwei also called her elder sister with a smile as she stepped forward to pull Lixia up. Borrowing the time when she was sizing her up, she secretly stuffed a bag into Lixia's sleeve.

Lixia was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. His smile remained on his face, "The ladies are all accompanying the old ancestor. However, the two of you don't need to be shy. We are sisters, a generous family."

As she spoke, she lifted the curtain.
