On the third day of July is Jiang Youyao's ritual ceremony.
From the night before, the whole Jiang Mansion became busy. Jiang Li, who had been unknown these days, was left behind even more naturally. Even the next morning, the people in the kitchen didn't think of Jiangli and sent food to Fangfeiyuan.
Tonger went to the kitchen and found only some leftover pastries. While showing Jiang Li, she said angrily: "It's just a gift, and both are serious Miss Jiang Jia. It's too much to show favoritism to this point!"
Jiang Li picked up a piece of chestnut cake and took a bite, while comforting her: "Jiang Youyao was originally the jewel in the palm of Dafang, and rituals are also a major event. Recently, there are many noble people, so of course you can't neglect it."
"Girl, the tone of your speech, people who don't know think you are an outsider." Tonger said: "You don't think that the servant girl is worthless for you." One was still outside sweeping, but none was gone. That Yun Shuang was just a maid after all, and she always shook her face to show people what she used to be a girl. That’s fine, that Xiangqiao, take With so many jewellery from you, I haven’t seen a person today. I went to Ji’s side to ask for credit again. Bah, I’m really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!” Tong'er has long been grudges against Xiang Qiaoyun, and finally bears it today. I couldn't help but said a lot of pleasure in one breath. "Xiang Qiao was originally from Ji's family. These days, she was wagging her tail to please me, just for the silver. My box was emptied for her. Of course, she has no reason to please me anymore. As for Yunshuang, I Being so good to Xiangqiao, she didn't take advantage of anything. Of course, she hates me for being partial." Jiang Li finished a piece of cake and drank half a mouthful of tea to rinse her mouth.
Tong'er was watching. After returning to Jiang's Mansion, Ji Shuran hadn't dared to treat Jiangli harshly in the past these days, and the food was decent. Therefore, the complexion of ginger pear will be better. Her facial features are inherently exquisite and clear, and once she wears a little better than before, she immediately appears in the shape of a beauty embryo.
And her every move, Tonger couldn't tell, she always felt particularly moving.
Seeing Tong'er stunned, Jiang Li asked, "What's the matter?"
Tong'er only recovered, and immediately said, "Girl, today's ceremony of the third young lady, shouldn't they stop the girl from going to the ceremony?"
Up to now, no one has come to inform Jiang Li about the ceremony. If it is the real Miss Jiang, it is inevitable that there are mixed feelings in her heart, and she has to think about it, and even panic. After all, Miss Jiang Er once had a bad reputation, and someone who cherishes her reputation like Mrs. Jiang, in order to prevent Jiang Li from making mistakes in the ceremony, she might not let Jiang Li appear at all.
After all, Miss Jiang Er had a history of killing mothers and brothers, and today Ningyuan’s son Zhou Yanbang will also appear. Miss Jiang Er sees Zhou Yanbang and thinks of her marriage being taken away. If she feels angry, what outrageous things will she do? , It is not impossible.
Jiang Li smiled: "No."
Tonger asked: "Why is the girl so sure?"
"Even if everyone in Jiang Mansion does not want me to participate in Jiang Youyao's ceremony, one person will definitely want me to participate, that is Ji. In order for me to observe the ceremony, Ji will try to persuade everyone to win this ceremony for me. Chance."
Tong'er stared at Jiang Li with wide eyes.
"The stage is all set up. If I don't appear on the stage, how can they continue to sing in this scene?" Jiang Li smiled softly, "Impossible."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiangqiao coming in from the outside, smiling, as if she had a great happy event. Seeing Jiang Li and Tong'er both sitting, she said: "Second Miss, you can dress up quickly, Miss Third today. The honour and the ceremony, the nobles are coming one after another, Madam, they are all waiting for you."
An just right smile appeared on Jiang Li's face, and said, "It's really great."
It's great, the play is finally about to begin.
…
Many people came to Jiang Mansion today.
Jiang Yuanbai's status is not low in the DPRK. While the courtiers couldn't understand him in all things, they only knew how to agree with the emperor's will, while they couldn't help but jealous of Jiang Yuanbai's position in the emperor's heart.
The former Yuanfu was almost on par with Emperor Hong Xiao in his prime, but he was not exiled by his family. From prosperity to decline, it took only three short years, but Jiang Yuanbai had been sitting in Yuanfu's position for more than ten years, still sitting steadily, and naturally he was not so incompetent.
Regardless, Jiang Yuanbai played an important role in the court, and the literati had to make friends with him. His daughter and gift are naturally indispensable.
The guest who saluted Jiang Youyao was Ji Shuran's direct sister, now Yi Lang's wife, Ji Chen. Ji Shuran has two older sisters, one is Ji Chen, and the other is in the harem of Emperor Hong Xiao, now Lili. Ji Shuran now has a place in Jiang's family. In addition to the more important position of the vice-capital envoy, Ji's family in the court, it is also because of the face of Li-嫔.
Emperor Hong Xiao loved Libi very much.
In the main hall, quite a few ladies have already arrived. They are all the nobles of Yenching, and they talk about recent interesting things. Even Mrs. Liu, the wife of Chengdelang Liu Yuanfeng, came.
Although Liu Yuanfeng was at odds with the Ji family, on the surface, he did not have direct antagonism with the Jiang family, and it was still considered peaceful. Mrs. Liu came to observe the ceremony today, not really to see Jiang Youyao, but to see how Jiang Li's life is. Since Jiang Li returned to Yanjing, Mrs. Liu has not seen Jiang Li.
Ji Shuran sat next to the ladies, she was gentle and beautiful, with long sleeves and good dancing, and her speech was exquisite. It didn't take long to fight fiercely with the nobles, and this was naturally the reason why these nobles wanted to favor Jiang's family.
Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan also arrived early. Jiang Yuyan was wearing a deep purple dress, her clothes were modest, and her appearance was unremarkable. Jiang Yuyan was also used to hiding in the crowd, so she sat on the side without saying a word, accompanied her mother Yang.
Jiang Yu'e is unwilling to be ordinary. She probably knows that Jiang Youyao is the protagonist today. She can't take the limelight from Jiang Youyao, but she is not willing to be as mediocre as Jiang Yuyan. He wore a small goose-yellow flimsy skirt, rolled up a red bean bun, and became more and more charming and charming. The fringes of her eyebrows were light and joyful, and she tried her best to find words to talk to some ladies, hoping to build some relationships.
Among the ladies, there are two people sitting to the left in the hall. One is middle-aged, with wrinkles around the corners of her eyes. At first glance, she is much older than the ladies around, but she wears very luxurious, but the luxurious and nondescript, not very suitable for her look.
Next to her, there was also a young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, but her face was thin and narrow, and her cheekbones were slightly higher, making her look a bit mean. This woman is also extremely rich in dress, which is particularly eye-catching among the noble ladies. It's just that she was impatient between her eyebrows, and asked the woman next to her in a low voice: "Mother, why isn't Jiang Youyao coming out?"
These two people are the current Zhongshushe people, the mother and sister of last year's champion, Shen Yurong, Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyun.
