Xinpingbo's Mansion is still some distance away from Rong'an Hou's Mansion, so on the day of the birthday banquet, the family prepared a carriage early.

Aunt Cui felt sorry for Yuan Miaoyi, so she prepared everything a day in advance so that she could sleep a little longer before getting up to dress up.

The day before the birthday banquet, Mrs. Tai also came to hint to Yuan Miaoyi that she didn't need to dress up too much.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Xinping Bo also wants to use this birthday party to choose a wife for Prince Xinping Bo.

The descendants of Uncle Xinping's family are no longer useful in the court, and none of the princes of Uncle Xinping have official positions for the time being, not to mention that their title is one level lower than that of the Yuan family.

It's just that in this capital, you can't see anyone without looking up. Mrs. Tai was invited to fulfill the etiquette, but etiquette is etiquette, and she is not willing to marry Yuan Miaoyi into such a family.

Mrs. Tai's words were tactful, but Yuan Miaoyi understood immediately and just said to reassure her grandmother.

Yuan Miaoyi was not very interested in these banquets, let alone dressing up.It's not as casual as you usually wear at home, it's just for the sake of politeness.

But today was a birthday party, so she didn't dress as plainly as usual, so she asked Aunt Cui to prepare a gardenia-colored curly grass pattern top paired with a six-piece lilac-colored butterfly skirt.

Yuan Miaoyi closed her eyes slightly and let Aunt Cui wrap the bead chain around her bun.

Since Mrs. Tai specifically told her not to dress up too conspicuously, Yuan Miaoyi asked Aunt Cui to comb her hair into a simpler bun.

It's just that the long hairpin and Huasheng hairpin are not suitable for the snail bun. Fortunately, not long ago, Yuan Lingheng got two turquoise flowers from somewhere and sent them back to the capital. They fit perfectly with today's bun.

While dressing up Yuan Miaoyi, Aunt Cui said: "Miss, you have been very busy these two months. The young master Cousin will get married next month, and in one month it will be your haircut gift. Fortunately, your jewelry is made of materials. There is no shortage, but I have to rush to make clothes, so I asked Bai Zhi to be more diligent and keep an eye on them."

Yuan Miaoyi also sighed, she was always impatient with these things.It's just that one is an important matter for the Pei family, and the other is an important matter for herself. They cannot be avoided no matter how hard they are.

That day Yu Fengshu said that there seemed to be something strange about Prince Xinping Bo, so Yuan Miaoyi went to inquire about it.

Although You Jinxing has never been in those fireworks alleys, he will not restrain himself at home.

Ma Youming, who had been promoted by Yuan Miaoyi to be the steward of the outer courtyard, happened to have some friendship with a young boy from Xinping Bofu. After receiving Yuan Miaoyi's instructions, he chose a day to invite the young boy to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, the boy was a little confused. Ma Youming deliberately made a few more sentences, and the behavior of the Prince Xinping at home was almost completely shaken.

When Ma Youming replied, Grandma Cui happened to be there and listened to everything Ma Youming said.

After Ma Youming left, Grandma Cui was still a little surprised. This prince had never had such a reputation as a womanizer in the capital.

"It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance." Aunt Cui said while serving tea to Yuan Miaoyi: "I heard before that the Shen family intended to marry Uncle Xinping. Mrs. Xinping didn't look down on her family background and felt that she was not a good person. Your honor."

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the Shen family is of the Qingliu family, and they don't have any wealthy family behind them. The family's wealth is not rich, and they can't fill the hole of Uncle Xinping's family.

Yuan Miaoyi was reading a miscellaneous journal at that time, and she just smiled when she heard what Aunt Cui said: "Mrs. Bo's dowry alone cannot fill such a big hole, and it's hard to openly say that she wants to give her daughter-in-law a dowry. Naturally, I can only use this excuse to refuse. However, if the information Ma Youming got is correct, this may not be a bad thing for the young lady of the Shen family. "

Before they got married, there were so many warblers and swallows in the room. Not even Yuan Fuwei back then was so ridiculous.

When Yuan Miaoyi inquired about this matter, it was only Yu Fengshu Ti's words that day that made her take it to heart. Now that she knows the truth, Yuan Miaoyi doesn't take it to heart anymore.She knew that even if Mrs. Tai didn't know what was going on, she would not let her marry into Xin Ping's residence.

Yuan Miaoyi didn't take it to heart, but Aunt Cui did.

When I dressed up Yuan Miaoyi today, I didn't even add any dimples on her face. I just traced her eyebrows and put a small pearl on her eyebrows.

This doesn't seem rude, and it doesn't look so grand.

Mrs. Tai was also very satisfied with Yuan Miaoyi's dress today. She praised her a few words and got in the car together to Xinping Bo's Mansion.

After the carriage rocked so much that Yuan Miaoyi fell asleep, the driver reported back: "Madam, the second lady has arrived."

As soon as I got off the carriage, there was a waiter waiting to greet me.After following people into Uncle Xinping's Mansion, Yuan Miaoyi realized that what Yu Fengshu told her that Xinping Bo's Mansion was going to hold a grand banquet was not an empty lie.

From the door to the small banquet hall, there are perfectly blooming peonies on both sides.

The small banquet hall was furnished with red sandalwood furniture. The maids who shuttled back and forth were obviously wearing new clothes. Even the tea cups served were small ones with white glazed petals.

From the furnishings to the utensils, everything reflects the wealth of Xinpingbo Mansion.

It's just that they don't know how long Mrs. Xin Pingbo's dowry will be enough for them to squander like this, Yuan Miaoyi thought a little bored.

Yuan Miaoyi had just sat down and had a sip of tea when she saw Yu Fengshu and Zheng Wan coming in front and back.

Zheng Wan's eyes lit up when he saw her: "Sister Miaoyi, you came very early today."

Madam Gao has been keeping Zheng Wan at home these days to calm down, and what happened in the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion the day before yesterday means that the two of them haven't seen each other for quite some time.

The meal hadn't started yet, so the three of them sat together and talked affectionately.

Yu Fengshu looked at Yuan Miaoyi and Zheng Wan's outfits, couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Miaoyi just pays it forward, she doesn't like to dress up on weekdays, why are you dressing up so simply today, Wan'er?" .”

Zheng Wan supported the tassels hanging down by her bun and said, "It's not because today it was said that Mrs. Xin Pingbo intends to choose a bride. Mother asked me not to make a show of herself at this time."

Yuan Miaoyi looked around and found that almost all the nobles who could come from the capital had arrived. She heard that the company commander's princess' mansion and several princes had received messages.

However, compared to the Qionghua Banquet at the eldest princess's residence, the ladies of each family were obviously dressed very restrained this time, except for Zhou Yao who was standing aside.

This time she not only wore a bun with precious stones, but also wore a gilt hairpin on her hair. A chain made of southern beads hung down from her temples. The middle of the bun was also decorated with a palm-tooth comb inlaid with precious stones.

Among the young ladies who deliberately kept a low profile, she looked very luxurious. The whole room was filled with the golden light of her hairpin. Even some ladies were not as dazzling as she was at this moment.

Zheng Wan followed Yuan Miaoyi's gaze and looked over, and was a little surprised: "I heard that the Zhou family had long rejected the marriage proposal from Xin Pingbo Mansion. Why is she dressed like this today?"
