Hidden golden branches

The emperor held a small dinner party on a tidy lawn, surrounded by torches, and the wind-swept torches illuminated the earth extremely brightly.

The people who arrived early were chatting in pairs. Most of the officials with their female dependents originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a blind date with their children in their prime years.

Therefore, take this opportunity to communicate with the person you like.

When Chen Rong and his party arrived, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The man is handsome and elegant, the woman is beautiful and delicate.

Both master and servant are very eye-catching.

Note that the people in their party are here for the marriage of their daughter. It is in vain to say that Wu'an Hou Shizi is excellent. Since he is engaged to the Lord of Jiahe County, he is not the target of their attention.

Besides, Chen Zhao is not necessarily worse than Ji Yuxian.

His father is now also a senior minister, and Chen Zhao's own abilities are also outstanding. In time, his official position may not be lower than Ji Yuxian's.

All the familiar officials came to say hello.

Those with lower official positions were greeted with courtesy, while those with similar official positions were given away.

While they were talking, Ji Yuxian and Chen Zhao were inadvertently separated from Yun Man and her daughter, and were surrounded by others as they went to talk to the man.

The same was true for Yun Man and her daughter, who were surrounded by a group of female relatives.

"Mrs. Chen is here!" Mrs. Xie, the wife of Zhang Renzhong, the censor of the right capital, came over first to say hello politely.

Ms. Xie wore a pink double-breasted jacket embroidered with lavender orchids, a navy blue horse-faced skirt, and a red gold headband inlaid with purple Ying stone, which was elegant yet solemn.

Yun Man also smiled and stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, Mrs. Xie."

Chen Rong saw the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl behind her, wearing a light pink and blue embroidered gown, a stone blue heddle skirt, a bun, and a red gold bead hoop inlaid with tourmaline stones. She looks very delicate, and her temperament is very similar to Zhang Xiuxi's. She is soft and frail, as if she doesn't dare to say a word loudly.

Even the two maids of fifteen or sixteen years old behind them, one wearing a brand new silver-red armor and the other wearing an aqua short jacket, had their heads lowered.

"Li'er, come here and meet Mrs. Chen." Mrs. Xie hurriedly pulled her daughter who was hiding behind her in front of her, smiled at Yun Man and said, "This is my little daughter Yali, I'm sorry, my little girl is shy."

Sure enough, Zhang Yali turned to Yun Man with a blushing face and a voice as loud as a mosquito: "My little girl has seen Mrs. Chen." After saying that, she retreated behind Mrs. Xie.

"Miss Zhang is very quiet." Yun Man said with a smile.

Chen Rong knew that the Zhang family intended to marry the Chen family. But this little girl is too shy and timid.

Oh too.

It is said that Mr. Zhang, the censor of Youdu, has a strict family education, restrains himself and returns to etiquette, and abides by etiquette.

Normally, the female relatives in his home are not allowed to go out.

Not to mention the daughters, they never leave the front door or take a step forward. When I stay in the boudoir, I either read "Nv's Precepts" and "Nv's Training", or I read about female celebrities.

Women educated in this way are very popular with most aristocratic families.

However, Chen Rong knew that her elder brother would definitely look down on such a woman.

Without self, the woman who is like a marionette is not bright and lively at all.

If you get married to her, your life will be like a puddle of stagnant water?

Chen Rong had already rejected Zhang Yali in his heart.

Since they introduced their daughter to her, Yun Man also introduced Chen Rong, who was looking at her with bright eyes, to the Xie family and their daughter, saying, "This is my little daughter Chen Rong."

When Chen Rong saw her mother calling her name, she hurriedly smiled and said in a clear voice, "My little girl has met Mrs. Zhang."

"Hi, County Master, you're welcome." Mrs. Xie hurriedly returned the salute. Mr. Xie and her daughter had met Chen Rong twice. Unexpectedly, each time they met, they found the girl more beautiful each time.

It's just that she was born too bright. If her son asked for marriage, she would definitely not agree.

Only Mrs. An Guogong, who is the step-in-law, would agree to this marriage. Otherwise, if her cousin was still alive, she would definitely not agree to this marriage that was canceled by others.

Oh, it's a pity that her family has a prominent family background, Zhilan Yushu, a rare cousin in the world.

At this time, Li Shi, wife of General Cui Yun, also came over and smiled enthusiastically at Yun Man: "Mrs. Chen, come, sit down and rest." Li Shi led Yun Man to where the female family members were sitting.

Several other ladies also followed suit and sat down in their seats, but they all leaned forward towards Yun Man. Waiting to listen to their chat.

Mrs. Cui wears a green woven velvet with gold patterns, a pair of gold blessings and longevity on her temples, and a South China Sea bead hoop. The nobility of her body is compelling.

Next to her stood two women in extraordinary clothes, following behind Mrs. Li and blessing Yun Man.

The little girl next to Ms. Li is wearing a lotus-pink painted Baoxiang patterned skirt with a tuck-to-the-front waist and a water-red gauze belt tied around her waist. Her face is delicate and cute, but because of her phoenix eyes and thin lips, she exudes a hint of heroism. Come.

The personalities of this little girl and the girl from the Zhang family are really different.

However, Chen Rong knew that Miss Cui was illiterate.

It is estimated that my mother and eldest brother will not take a fancy to it either.

"Hey, Mrs. Chen, you're here too." Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. An Guogong, who was wearing a snow-green heddle skirt embroidered with branch patterns and covered with a satin jacket in the color of crane, deer and spring eggplant, came over with a smile and stood up. Yun Man's hand greeted her with a smile.

Mrs. Zhuang was quite reserved and did not call Yunman "mother-in-law" directly.

Just because we haven't gotten married yet, if something happens, it won't make people laugh, so it's better to call her "Mrs. Chen".

"Please take a seat, madam." Yun Man pointed to the empty wide huanghuali wood bench next to him with a smile.

Behind Ms. Zhuang was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She was very tall, almost as tall as Ms. Zhuang. Wearing a light blue silk jacket, with jade earrings on her ears, her eyes are cute and smart, her eyelashes are long and thick, slightly raised like cattail leaf fans. She occasionally looks around curiously, but then quickly withdraws her attention to support Zhuang.

However, when he glanced at Chen Rong, he looked arrogant and full of disgust.

Chen Rong was surprised

It was the first time that he and his future sister-in-law met, so why did she look so disgusted?

How strange!

Chen Rong was originally a little girl who didn't like to please others.

She has the kind of character that if you treat her well, she will return the favor twice as much.

The reverse is also true.

At this time, I made up my mind that after getting married, I would stay far away from this sister-in-law.

Chen Rong, who looked forced, didn't know that his future sister-in-law actually had a grudge against him because of Sun Yi.

This matter also needs to be talked about that day when Sun Yi returned to the dynasty after victory.

That day, Ji Wenyu went to the street to watch the excitement like most other girls. She was immediately attracted by Sun Yi, who was tall and handsome in armor and had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

A heart instantly fell into it.

Sun Yi's appearance is what makes the little girl who is not in harmony with the world fall into her, and she regards him as the best candidate for her husband.

Little do you know that he is actually the most cold-hearted person.

Chen Rong: When I arrived at the dinner venue, all I could see were noble ladies in rich robes and hairpins and their daughters.

Xiao Zi: How could there be ordinary people at the dinner party hosted by the emperor?
