The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 207 Strong matchmaking (1)
It snowed a lot at the beginning of the month, and on the day of Cheng Lan's birthday, the snow on the road just melted, and the sky was blue and the sun was warm.

Gu Lan dressed up meticulously, looked in the mirror, and went to the elder sister-in-law's side happily.

She received the post because of Meng Xianxian's favor, but Meng Xianxian didn't intend to go there. Firstly, she seldom went out because of her eyes, and secondly, Nannan felt a little uncomfortable these two days. Meng Xianxian couldn't bear to leave her son half a step, so she let Liuxia accompanied my sister-in-law there.

"You don't have to be restrained when you get there. Sister Lan is gentle and generous, and she is easy to get along with." Meng Xianxian saw that Gu Lan was dressed a little plainly, so she chose a red gold butterfly hairpin inlaid with rubies from her jewelry box to wear for her.Gu Lan still remembered the last time her brother reprimanded her for this kind of thing, she shook her head and declined.Meng Xianxian knew what she was avoiding, so he held her hand with a smile, "Alan is going out as a guest, of course she has to dress up nicely, don't be polite with sister-in-law, just put it on."

Gu Lan quietly glanced at Meng Xianxian's two maidservants.

Liuxia Chaoyang is not a stingy person. It is not uncommon for the princess to give jewelry. They just hated Gu Lan's insatiable greed before. Now that Gu Lan has changed, the princess occasionally sends things. Naturally, they will not go to birthday for such a trivial matter. Princess An Chang broke her mouth there.

"Okay, let's go." Meng Xianxian looked at Gu Lan again, making sure there were no omissions, and sent her out with a smile.

The carriages were all ready, and they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion soon after departure.

Mrs. Fang arrived a little earlier than her and was sitting in the hall drinking tea.

Mrs. Xie had a little more smile on her face today, and she said helplessly to Mrs. Fang: "It seems that Huaibi will grow another year in two months. He is not in a hurry, but the prince is very anxious about his marriage. For birthday, invite some noble ladies from the capital to come over, you are Huaibi's aunt, let's help him take a look."

What she said was reasonable, Fang smiled and said: "Concubine Lao is bothering, but Huai Bi has always been upright since she was a child, and she was afraid that we would like him, but he would not like him."

Mrs. Xie nodded, "Yes, but as elders, we should take the initiative to make arrangements, maybe we can pick someone who is in our arms and get married early, and there is also someone who cares about him beside him."

Fang smiled without saying a word, looking out of the window, thinking that she would like to see which "noble ladies" Cheng Jingrong and his wife invited over today.

"Princess, Miss Gu is here."

Xie Shi turned his head and looked over, "Please come in."

The little maid turned around and lifted the curtain, letting in a girl in a red cloak.

This was the first time Fang saw Gu Lan, so she couldn't help but take a closer look. A 15-year-old girl, perhaps raised in the south of the Yangtze River, her face is indeed more tender than the girls in the capital, and her appearance is also very outstanding, but her eyes are a little bit off, she wants to look but dare not look, she is full of pettiness, it is useless Good clothes and jewelry.

But Xie's heart moved.

When drafting the post, she didn't think of this girl from the Gu family, it was Cheng Jingrong who reminded her, and Cheng Jingrong specially reminded her that she was obviously determined to marry Gu Lan as his daughter-in-law.Looking at it now, Mrs. Xie also thinks that Gu Lan is good, saying that she is of low status. Gu Lan is the emperor's favorite niece, the sister-in-law of Princess Yongfu. She is a relative of the royal family. She has nothing to do with the world, it is impossible for her to ask her sister-in-law to do something, without the intervention of Princess Yongfu, Gu Lan's elder brother is just a small Hanlin, dare to intervene in the family affairs of Prince Jing's mansion?

The most rare thing is that Gu Lan looks good, standing beside Cheng Yu can be regarded as a pair of lovers, and others can't make a big mistake.

When all the guests arrived, Mrs. Xie said to her daughter: "The weather is fine today. You can go for a walk in the garden. Even though it is cold, you can't stay bored in the house all the time. I will ask someone to prepare some tea and fruits, and you can take a walk around the garden." Come back."

Cheng Lan nodded, and led the seven or eight little girls to the garden, where Mrs. Fang stayed here to drink tea and chat with Mrs. Xie.

Fang originally wanted to ridicule Xie's niece Xie Jin, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, who had the highest status among the noble girls Xie mentioned, but after thinking about it, she disdained this kind of unnecessary verbal dispute.No matter what Cheng Jingrong and his wife think, their nephew refuses to agree, they just want to force a woman to come over, and if the nephew doesn't go to greet the bride, what can Cheng Jingrong do?She didn't believe that Cheng Jingrong didn't care about the face of the palace, so he did the thing of letting his brother go to welcome his relatives.
