Hidden golden branches

Seeing Yun Man, Xiao Yuehua asked politely and with concern: "Mrs. Chen, the crown prince is newly established. Mr. Chen will have a lot of responsibilities in the future, and he will work harder than before."

Prior to this, Xiao Yuehua would definitely not come over to talk to Yun Man when he saw her. Even though Chen Youyu was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so what?

But things are different now. Chen Youyu's nephew Xiao Jinchen, the fifth prince, has become the prince. In addition, Chen Youyu now has the identity of a prince and young master, and has become a member of the newly formed cabinet.

Not only that, his daughter Jiahe County Princess is about to marry Ji Yuxian, the distinguished eldest son of Anguo Palace.

The Chen family has become an upstart among the aristocratic families in the capital, and their status can be described as prominent. From now on, we must not underestimate the Chen family.
The two of them had never interacted with each other before. Hearing this, Yunman smiled slightly at her and said, "Yes, the crown prince has been newly established, and my husband has also become an official of the East Palace. There are really too many things to be busy with."

Mrs. Zhuang only has her eldest daughter, Ji Wenyu, and her two nieces, Ji Wenwenxiu and Ji Wenli, who are of marriageable age.

Seeing that Xiao Yuehua and Yun Man seemed to have finished speaking, she hurriedly walked over and greeted Yun Man with a smile: "My mother-in-law."

Yun Man turned around and saw that it was Mr. Zhuang, and replied with a smile: "Mrs. Anguo, good luck."

Except for Ji Wenyu, Ji Yuxian's two cousins ​​greeted Yun Man politely, and then turned to greet Chen Rong: "My little lady has met the county master."

Chen Rong nodded politely.

High-vertebral buns were popular among upper-class women in the Wei Dynasty. This hairstyle can be worn with a variety of headdresses. It is both noble and glamorous, but it requires a lot of hair volume.

Ji Wenxiu's hair volume is far from enough for a high bun. She needs to use a fake bun and her real hair to tie it into a high bun.

She inserted a large crimson peony in front of her bun, and a golden walking stick on each side, creating a variety of moods with each step.

Ji Wenli has a more lively temperament than Ji Wenxiu. She wears a double-knife bun with two strands forming horns on the top of her head. Then she inserts a golden hairpin made of silk begonia into the bun. The hair on both sides of her forehead is A golden tassel hangs from each hair strand.

The makeup of the two sisters, one is charming and the other is lively.

Ji Wenyu still didn't want to see Chen Rong. Seeing that Chen Rong's clothes were low-key and luxurious, she couldn't help but cast a jealous glance.

Chen Rongcai ignored his future sister-in-law. She was wearing a goose-yellow double-butterfly pearl moonlight skirt today. The pleats at the waist were fine, and each pleat was a color. There were five colors, but the color was light. The breeze blew, showing It shines like the bright moon, so it is called "Moonlight Skirt". The top is a jacket with rabbit fur velvet sewn inside, and a sweetheart-neck blouse underneath. Today she did not need to wear a shawl, but instead wore a thin velvet scarf around her neck.

This Yuehua skirt is not simple. It requires three or four embroiderers working day and night and it takes two months to complete.

It can be seen that the Yuehua skirt is worth a lot of money.

Chen Rong is already extremely beautiful, and today she is so carefully dressed that people can't take their eyes off her.

The appearance of Dong Rumei, the daughter of Qi Yu, the grand-niece of the late Queen Mother, could not be called extremely beautiful. In front of Chen Rong, she could only be considered comely.

The most unpleasant thing is her arrogant look with her eyes higher than her forehead. Few girls come up to say hello to her.

Chen Rong was different. She, her best friends Yue Wanshu and Sun Yuting never bullied others whenever they attended banquets. No matter what the girl's family background is or what she looks like, the three of them cannot bully others. Yue Wanshu had stood beside Chen Rong a long time ago. Today she was wearing a blue satin slip dress, embroidered with gold and silver thread persimmon pattern, climbing boots, and a pair of thallium-tailed jade belts. Her slender waist could only be held in one hand, even with the Her sweet baby face still cannot conceal her gorgeousness and beauty.

The two of them had already gone to the imperial concubine's place to congratulate her, and then they came to sit here.

Sitting opposite is Ren Yali, the daughter-in-law of Youdu Yushizhang. She looks shy, but her eyes are clear, her eyebrows are charming, and she has a breeze-like smile on her lips. She is already making people laugh without opening her mouth. Three points of favorability. If Chen Rong hadn't been sure that she was the legitimate daughter of Zhang Yushi's family who never left the house, she would have thought that she was a lady from some family. Judging from her behavior, the girl from the Duke's uncle's family might not be as good as her.

Because Chen Rong knew how strict the Zhang family's tutors were, and the female relatives in the family were not allowed to go out unless attending banquets. Even if you want to buy women's household items, the grandma in charge will go out to buy them.

Not to mention the daughter who has not yet left the cabinet?
Even more miserable were Zhang Renzhong's concubines and concubines, who could neither go out to attend banquets nor have a prominent natal family to rely on.

It is conceivable that they cannot leave the house all year round.

When they reach the age of marriage, they marry blindly and silently.

If they are not married off to an elderly widower or given as concubines to an elderly dignitary, the head of the family will forgive them.

Marrying a concubine from a certain family or a poor scholar is considered a blessing for them.

Chen Rong raised his eyes and saw Cui Ning, the second prince's concubine. Cui Ning was the eldest daughter of General Cui Wei.

Chen Rong also didn't expect that the second prince's concubine was so good-looking. Her eyebrows were as green as distant mountains, her eyes were as bright as autumn water shining on cold stars, her pink cheeks were three points more charming than spring, and her white teeth were as white as pearls nine points as snow.

After Cui Ning sat down, she ignored Dong Rumei's deliberate attempts to please her and focused her eyes only on Chen Rong. She saw that she was wearing a silver-plated gold-plated jade-embellished butterfly pattern hairpin on her head. The style was very novel and the workmanship was extremely sophisticated. The body of the butterfly is a piece of pink tourmaline, its wings are inlaid with rubies, and the butterfly also has a circle of outer wings made of rice beads arranged in a rhombus shape.

Look again at the golden silk inlaid with orchids and emerald flower pouch tied around Chen Rong's waist. The upper and lower silk ropes are strung with coral beads, the lower part is a gold braided hijab, the lower part is a coral rice bead tassel, and the tassels are dropped by small drop-shaped jade horns.

Such exquisite jewelry is hard to find even in the palace. It is hard to buy for a thousand dollars. I am afraid this is the only one in the world. This is definitely not something that a minister's daughter can have. It must have been given to her by the imperial concubine. . Then it is not difficult to imagine how the imperial concubine pampers her niece.

Jealous
It's just that Cui Ning must have forgotten that Chen Rong is not the daughter of an ordinary official, she is the head of Jiahe County personally named by the emperor!
After the palace banquet was over, Chen Rong said goodbye to the imperial concubine and her aunt and came out. As soon as she arrived in front of the Minghua Palace, Chen Rong stared at the people waiting outside the palace gate with her big, rippling eyes.

I saw Ji Yuxian wearing a crimson robe with a round collar, a jade belt, and a golden crown on his head. He was tall and elegant. He had both martial spirit and elegance, and he looked like a dragon, a phoenix, and a man of natural elegance.

Ji Yuxian looked at her with a smile and called out in a gentle tone: "Rong'er." Then he turned to Yun Man and bowed his hands in greeting: "This junior has met Aunt Chen."

As time goes by, I will have to call her 'mother-in-law'.

Yun Man also responded with a smile: "Hey."

Yue Wanshu, who was originally following Chen Rong, saw this and took a step back without saying hello to Ji Yuxian, and went to find her mother Ji.

Where there are many people, there will be rivers and lakes, there will be disputes, there will be comparisons, and if you are not as good as others, you will feel jealous.
