lady

Chapter 470
Princess Fu really took her hand, looked at her carefully for a moment, then smiled and said to the two ladies: "It seems that the capital really has arrested this girl, look at her after running away for two years, and then coming back will be different." Yes. At a glance, the whole body is full of atmosphere and sensible."

The two wives followed the princess and praised Ye Xinyan from head to toe.

Ye Xinyan stood up again, bowed her knees to Princess Fu and the two wives, and said apologetically: "The little lady was ignorant in the past, and she made fun of the princess and his wife."

Princess Fu smiled at Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Tian: "Look, you are sensible."

At this point, Ye Xinyan was trying to put on a face full of embarrassment, and there was another nanny leading the guests in.Seeing the guests coming in clearly, Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Tian stood up to greet them.

Ye Xinyan also stood up and retreated to Yin's side.

She also knew the people who came, Mrs. Li, the wife of Minister Han, the chief minister of the cabinet, Mrs. Jiang, the eldest daughter-in-law, and Han Yufang, the granddaughter.

Everyone saluted and exchanged pleasantries. After they sat down and served tea, Mrs. Li looked at Yin Shi and Ye Xinyan, and asked Yin Shi with a smile: "Master Ye has many rules, and the first month is already over to the eighth day of the lunar new year. , I just met people from An Guogong's mansion. Why is Mr. Ye so strange this time, and promised Mrs. Shizi to come to the banquet?"

Yin Shi hurriedly leaned over and smiled: "What the old lady said is true. I am here to accompany A Yan, if not, I have to go out cautiously."

Mrs. Li hit Ye Xinyan again, and said: "This child has suffered for the past two years, but it's worth it. I heard from my old man that Miss Ye is very capable now, even more capable than men."

Yin kept being polite, and Ye Xinyan stood up again, bowing her knees to Mrs. Li to thank her.Unexpectedly, Han Yufang, who was sitting next to Mrs. Jiang, said in a cold voice: "Miss Ye used to have no taboos in her actions. I thought that was the extreme. I didn't expect Miss Ye to surprise people all the time, but now she is mixed among the lower-class men." , It’s really surprising.”

Ye Xinyan just thanked Mrs. Li, but she was attacked by Mrs. Li's granddaughter, completely confused about the situation.She glanced at Han Yufang, and sat down in her seat calmly, as if Han Yufang hadn't spoken just now.

Yin Shi looked at her with a little worry, seeing that she did not look angry, she was quite relieved.Then she smiled and said to Madam Jiang: "I never noticed in the past that Madam's daughter is so outspoken."

Mrs. Jiang looked embarrassed. She first gave Han Yufang a stern look, and then she smiled apologetically at Mrs. Yin and said, "I'm really sorry for Mrs. Shizi and Missy. This child has been spoiled. He has offended Mrs. and Missy so much. Please forgive me." For the sake of her concubine, don't argue with her."

Ye Xinyan gave Mrs. Jiang a sideways look. Before she figured out why Han Yufang treated her like this, she didn't intend to argue with a little girl.But, why should you look at your face?Do you have a good face?

Mrs. Jiang's heart skipped a beat when Ye Xinyan looked at her.Ye Xinyan's notoriety started when she was able to walk and dance. Her family, Yufang, didn't know what kind of monsters they were doing, why did they provoke this evil star?Looking back, this woman who has no taboos is really impulsive, isn't Yufang suffering in vain?Can you expect your old man to be able to suppress that old fox, Mr. An?
"Apologize to Sister Ye's family." Mrs. Jiang turned her face and ordered Han Yufang in a cold voice.

Han Yufang didn't know what was going on, but she stubbornly looked at her mother for a moment, turned her head, and didn't move.

Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she was speechless for a while.Although this child is a little willful at times, he is by no means an ignorant child.It is really unreasonable to act like this on such an occasion.

Ye Xinyan also felt that it was unreasonable.If she remembers correctly, Han Yufang is four years younger than her, and should be sixteen this year, not in the same age bracket as her.If they had little contact with each other before, if she had been away for two years, it would be even less likely to have any grudges.

So what is she doing this for?
Mrs. Pei, who was sitting with Mrs. Li, smoothed things over with a smile: "Children's temperament, maybe something will be overestimated by her, and sometimes they can't turn around for a while." Turning to Ye Xinyan and said, "How old is Sister Ye's older than her, let's let Sister Fang pass this time, can't you make a deal with her?"

"Okay, I will follow the old lady's orders." Ye Xinyan agreed very simply.This old lady's speech is quite pleasant, she is a brat, it's really nothing to let her go once.

The point is, what is wrong with Han Yufang?Could it be that she has gotten close to Ye Xinyi in the past two years and listened to her too much?It shouldn't be, if Ye Xinyi and the granddaughter of the chief assistant of the court are like this, what will she look like?There was no need to be angry with her the day before yesterday.

Ye Xinyan was confused and looked at Yin Shi.Yin patted her hand, signaling her to be calm.Ye Xinyan withdrew her eyes, it seemed that her mother knew something, this is not a place to talk, so she had to go back and talk about it.

Ye Xinyan's willingness to agree so readily surprised everyone in the hall.The granddaughter of the Ye family has really changed her temper, learned to understand the general situation, and made people feel good?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Xinyan, which made Han Yufang even more annoyed, "Who will let her come here?"

"Yufang!" Madam Jiang scolded.This morning, I found out that something was wrong with this girl. If she didn't go crazy sooner, she wouldn't go crazy later, but at this time she was excited, and she shouldn't be brought out at all.

Princess Fu smiled and said: "Yufang is a child, so she must be bored sitting in the room. There are some lanterns made by craftsmen in our house in the yard, and they are going to be hung up on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Taking this opportunity, let's Go over and have a look. Although it is not as dazzling and beautiful as lighting up candles at night, you can still get a general idea."

After speaking, he stood up first and said to Mrs. Yin: "I will accompany Mrs. Shizi around." Turning to Mrs. Tian, ​​she said, "Sister-in-law took Mrs. Jiang and Sister Fang to see. The two old ladies Take a break and talk for a while."

Mrs. Jiang stood up in response, and thanked Mrs. Tian repeatedly.It's good to walk around separately, and she can also talk about Sister Fang while there are few people.With so many noble ladies watching, if Sister Fang's words and deeds are not as good as those of the eldest lady of An Guogong's mansion, wouldn't it be ridiculous?
The court paid attention to having fun with the people, and every time it came to the Lantern Festival, interested houses would paste some novel and ingenious lanterns, and choose a place on the street to hang them out for the people to watch.The lantern that Princess Fu mentioned is for this purpose.

Ye Xinyan's influence on the Shangyuan Festival in this era is very vague, so seeing the lanterns hanging everywhere in the palace garden, I am amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen.

Of course, there is no neon glass and various mechanical appliances in this era. It is all up to craftsmen to make various shapes with bamboo strips and colored paper.Lacking the assistance of various modern appliances, the ingenious craftsmanship of the craftsmen is brought to the extreme. Needless to say, there are vivid lanterns of various shapes and colors, and there are several kinds of revolving lanterns that rely on the heat of lamps and candles.

I have to say that the ancient nobles still enjoyed and tasted very much.Needless to say, the lanterns are exquisite and gorgeous, but the hanging position is also extremely particular. Often, within a turn, you can see a gorgeous lantern hanging under a tree or at the corner of a pavilion, which makes people feel a sense of anticipation when walking.
