"Girl Li, you will enter the palace with us tomorrow." Mrs. Jiang said: "What is the difference, what is needed, tell your mother, your mother will prepare it for you."
Jiang Li nodded and said yes.
"This is the first time you have entered the palace in Yanjing City. Don't break the rules. Just ask if you don't understand. If you don't know what to do, just follow the young girl." Mrs. Jiang carefully ordered, "Clothes The jewelry is ready for you. Tomorrow you will represent the face of the Jiang family. I believe you can do a good job."
Mrs. Jiang actually praised her for an unprecedented time. Jiang Li smiled and nodded, but did not appear to be very excited.
In this way, Jiang Yu'e, who fell aside, was very uncomfortable. Jiang Yu'e watched Jiang Li's status improve little by little after returning home. I always hate people for laughter, Jiang Li has a good life, it is very dazzling in Jiang Yu'e's eyes, and I can't wait for Jiang Li to fall into hell overnight and live more awkwardly than himself.
"Liyatou is really amazing. This time I want your majesty to give the gift in person. The juniors in our mansion can only do it alone." Lu said with a smile: "I heard that the leader of the Imperial College this year is Ye Shijie, and Ye Shijie is Xiangyang. People from the Ye family, speaking of it, are a bit of a relationship with our Jiang family. He is still Jiang Li’s cousin."
Ye Zhenzhen has passed away for many years, and the Jiang family has no contact with Ye Zhenzhen's natal family. At this time, Lu mentioned Ye Shijie to block Ji Shuran's heart. You must know that Ji Shuran's maiden nephew did not even appear on the Red List of the Imperial College, let alone the leader.
When Jiang Li heard Lu mentioned Ye Shijie, she sighed slightly. She didn't want to involve the Ye family in the muddy waters of the Jiang family. The Ye family is in Xiangyang. In the future, she will return to Xiangyang to pay homage to Xue Huaiyuan, and she will have to rely on the Ye family. Involving the Ye Family and the Jiang Family together is not necessarily a good thing for the Ye Family.
She hoped that the Ye family would be clean.
Ji Shuran smiled and looked at Jiang Li: "Yes, I also think Li'er should move around with Young Master Ye Family. Although sister Zhenzhen has already gone, the two families are relatives in-laws. If Young Master Ye Family enters official career, in the future Our master can also help. It's my family, and it's better to help my family than to help outsiders."
When Jiang Li heard the words, his eyes moved slightly.
Ji Shuran's remarks can be said to be very sincere. But Ji Shuran would really be so kind, and even let Jiang Yuanbai help Ye Shijie? This is absolutely impossible, Ji Shuran will only let people secretly suppress Ye Shijie. It wasn't that Jiang Li deliberately kept people dark, but she knew exactly what kind of person Ji Shuran was after spending so many days in Jiang's Mansion.
This time Zhou Yanbang even proposed to dissolve his marriage contract with Jiang Youyao and be with himself, all sorts of things, it's strange that Ji Shuran's mother and daughter didn't hate poisoning themselves.
But so far, Ji Shuran's mother and daughter are very quiet, and they have not acted as monsters.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li looked at Ji Shuran.
Ji Shuran’s smiling virtuous mother seemed to be a really loving mother, but Jiang Li felt that her gaze was more like a poisonous python hovering on a branch, squinting her eyes slowly, looking at her prey slowly, and giving out a miserable smile. , Fangs are still quenched with poison.
What is she calculating.
Jiang Li's eyes fell on Jiang Youyao again.
Jiang Youyao is younger, not as seamless as Ji Shuran's expression. She also tried her best to show a smile like no one, but she couldn't conceal the hatred for Jiang Li in her eyes, and there was a hint of excitement for some reason.
Jiang Li's eyes are sticky and greasy, making Jiang Li look familiar, but for a moment, Jiang Li didn't know when she saw it. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that this look makes her very uncomfortable, and her back feels cold, which makes her wake up in an instant.
Yang didn't have much to say in Jiang's house, only a pair of shrewd eyes kept turning around, looking at Jiang Li for a while, and Ji Shuran for a while.
Mrs. Jiang didn't say much, and then talked to Jiang Li about entering the palace. In fact, these Jiang Li had known for a long time that she had followed in the palace as Shen Yurong's family back then. However, as the imperial court order officer, the rules of the Jiang family were much easier.
It has been a long time since Mrs. Jiang explained one by one. Thinking of having to go back and prepare, everyone left from the night phoenix hall.
Jiang Li walked out of the door of Wanfengtang to his yard. Fang Fei Yuan is in the corner of Jiang Mansion, and Jiang Youyao's yard is not in the same direction, so naturally there is no need to travel.
I just walked for a short while unexpectedly, and someone called her behind her: "Second Sister."
Turning his head to see, it was Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan sisters.
To these two people, Jiang Yuyan was silent, but Jiang Yue never had a good face to Jiang Li. As soon as he saw Jiang Yu'e, Jiang Li knew what the other party was planning.
"Second sister, you walk so fast, I can hardly catch up." Jiang Yu'e said affectionately.
Jiang Li stood in place, unwilling to even Xu and Weishe, and only politely said: "What's the matter with Wumei?"
Jiang Yu'e didn't expect that Jiang Li would even disdain to pretend to be a face, and her face was a little bit awkward, but for a moment, she quickly adjusted it, and smiled: "I'm in Wanfengtang today. The second sister hasn't come here yet. Matter.” At this point, Jiang Yu'e paused specially before saying: “It’s the third sister’s marriage. The eldest aunt said that the marriage of the third sister and Zhou Shizi has been settled, and spring will begin at the end of the winter next year. I think two Sister may not know about this, so she came here to tell her second sister."
Just for this
Tong'er was a little angry, Jiang Li smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you Wumei for telling me, I know."
She seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Jiang Li's plain tone. Jiang Yu'e carefully looked at Jiang Li's expression. Seeing that Jiang Li didn't have an expression of pain and loss, she said: "In fact, the relationship between the second sister and Zhou Shizi was also very good. If nothing happened to the second sister, now the second sister married into Ningyuan Hou’s Mansion. Zhou Shizi is one of the best match in the entire Yanjing city, and now the third sister can marry into Zhou’s family without much effort, the second sister Older than the third sister, but the marriage is not settled, I feel injustice for the second sister from the bottom of my heart."
Jiang Yuyan glanced at Jiang Li with some trepidation. She wanted to stop Jiang Yu'e, but in the end she just stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Jiang Yu'e's clothes without saying anything.
Jiang Li didn't rush to answer Jiang Yu'e's words, but just stared at Jiang Yu'e carefully and smiled. Her smile was gentle and clear, with no one in it, but Jiang Yu'e who looked at it for no reason was a little panicked.
In order to break through this sense of oppression, Jiang Yu'e asked Jiang Li, "What is the second sister staring at me for?"
"It's nothing." Jiang Liyun said calmly: "I just feel that Wu Sister is so worried about me, and I am a little touched, but..." She said lightly: "Which intentions of Wu Sister, I wonder if my mother and the third sister know about it?"
Jiang Yu'e's expression suddenly changed.
She was anxious to come over to poke Jiang Li's heart, but she didn't know what would happen if the phrase "make grievances for the second sister" fell in the ears of Ji Shuran's mother and daughter.
Jiang Yu'e reluctantly smiled and said, "These are the words of my second sister and me..."
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Yu'e and smiled: "Actually, my fifth sister doesn't have to worry too much about my marriage. My father is the first assistant of the court, and no matter how bad Yanjing City is, he can find an official family to marry him. It's the mother who didn't do it. I am worried that there are also my father and the old lady. I am the daughter of the Jiang family's big room. Can I still marry me?" She gave Jiang Yu'e a meaningful look: "Although the fifth sister is not in time, it is better to take care of it. My own, Sanshu’s current career is not bright. According to the situation of Sanshu and Sanyi, it is hard to say what family Wumei will marry in the future."
Seeing Jiang Yu'e's complexion turned green in an instant, Jiang Li was in a good mood, and continued to say unhurriedly: "In this world, you must know that although talents, appearance, temperament and morality are very important, if you have no family background, you will be nothing. Or else Look at the girls in the capital leaning on the Red Mansions, who is not one in a million who is beautiful and beautiful, but she has always been a girl."
After saying this, she didn't wait for Jiang Yu'e to answer, so she took Tong'er and floated away.
I didn't see Jiang Yu'e's expression behind him.
On the way back, Tong'er stumbled with a smile all the way, and when she returned to Fangfeiyuan, she told Bai Xue about the matter verbatim. After speaking, she laughed and said: "You haven't seen Miss Wu. The face at that time, oops, our girl is really capable. Compared with Miss Fifth and the girls in the Red Mansions of Yanjing City, Miss Fifth must be furious. Oh, who made her uneasy and deliberately provoked!"
"Why does Miss Fifth always have trouble with our girls?" Mingyue was young and asked curiously: "If Miss Third and the girl can't get along, it's because Miss Third and the girl are both prostitutes of the big house. The young lady is a three-roomed person, and the girl does not hinder her."
"It's okay to see no one." Tonger blurted out, "Everyone has to be as bitter and hated as she is. Why, the girl is Jinzhiyuye, why she always compares with the girl. The girl is better than her, it is not taken for granted. Is it something?"
Jiang Li smiled and shook his head while listening to the discussion of his maids.
What Jiang Yu'e showed was nothing more than unwillingness. Jiang Yu'e hopes to see that she is living in despair, and she is heartbroken, so that she can feel better than herself. Jiang Yu'e even hoped to use Zhou Yanbang to stimulate herself, but what Jiang Yu'e didn't understand was that Jiang Li really didn't have any interest in Zhou Yanbang.
Zhou Yanbang was a stranger to her, and a very annoying stranger.
Jiang Li said, "There is such a person who is not of a bad background but is restless. I think about jumping to the branch all day long, thinking that there is all injustice in the world, and I am not reconciled. Such a person can do everything."
Several maids nodded seemingly.
Jiang Li thought, in this way, in fact, Jiang Yue and Shen Yurong are the same people. The more humble people, the more they taste the taste of heights, the more they yearn for heights, the more obsessed they are, the more they will go unscrupulously. Climb up. It's just that Jiang Yu'e doesn't know how to conceal her unwillingness, and Shen Yurong too knows how to conceal her unwillingness.
He was so concealed that he didn't even notice his wife, thinking that he was a passionate ambition.
It's ridiculous.
Jiang Li's smile slowly fell silent, and she remembered the gaze Jiang Youyao looked at her in the Wanfeng Hall. The déjà vu gaze made her still uncomfortable.
She has to beware.
Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "Tonger, take my box here."
…
The turmoil on the first day did not affect the joy of entering the palace on the second day.
When Jiang Yu'e saw Jiang Li again, she didn't have a cold eye for Jiang Li because of what happened yesterday. She still smiled as before, and even praised Jiang Li's dress for being so beautiful.
Jiang Li replied: "The fifth sister is also very good."
Jiang Yu'e is about to get ready. Although she is younger than Jiang Youyao and is the youngest daughter of Jiang's family, Jiang Yu'e is taller and only slightly shorter than Jiang Li, so she doesn't look childish at all. She wore a honey-colored eight-flowered octopus dress with crab claw chrysanthemum embroidered on the skirt and her long hair curled into a hanging cloud bun, dotted with a jade hairpin with begonia dripping jade beads.
In fact, this rich dress overwhelmed Jiang Yu'e's Xiaojiabiyu style, but Jiang Yu'e was very happy. It was probably because the old lady asked the tailor to prepare the clothes and jewelry that went into the palace. Jiang Yu'e rarely had such precious clothes and jewelry in the past, so he didn't feel bad and was very satisfied.
Ji Shuran is obviously happy to see it in such a scene. Jiang Yuyao is ordinary and graceful, and Jiang Yu'e is dressed too heavily, so Jiang Youyao will naturally stand out.
Jiang Youyao did spend his thoughts, not to mention, that rose red and gold double-layer long-tailed Luan robe was enough to attract people's eyes. Golden bird hairpin, eight-treasure bracelets, sakura red tape around the waist, and special makeup. On weekdays, Jiang Youyao seldom has thick makeup. When going to the palace this time, she rarely traces her eyebrows and puts on blush powder. Her features are delicate and beautiful, and she can hold down such heavy makeup. Standing under the flowers, she looks more charming and brilliant.
If you enter the palace in this way, it can indeed attract the attention of the noble son. However, Jiang Li was puzzled, since Jiang Youyao had already been engaged to Zhou Yanbang, why did he even dress up
You know that Jiang Youyao doesn't look down on other people at all, let alone actively attracting others.
While Jiang Li was looking at Jiang Youyao, Ji Shuran was also looking at Jiang Li, and Lu's smile exaggeratedly covered her mouth and said, "If I didn't know these two maids, I would really not recognize Girl Li."
Jiang Li is not used to dressing up, and Mrs. Xu Shi Jiang also noticed her habit. This time she asked the tailor to make the clothes, but she didn't pick the red color. But because you want to face saint, you can't be too plain, you still need some color. Jiang Li wore a magnolia and blue double embroidered forged dress, with a jasper and brocade dress inside, which was clear and light green. The gourd bun made her look very fresh and crisp. There was no hairpin embellishment on her head. Only two white jade earrings fell. The ears were small and exquisite, and the face was as white as jade.
She didn't paint as thick as Jiang Youyao, only drew her eyebrows lightly, her eyebrows were like snails, her eyes were like lacquer, her lips were pale, but she felt like dust.
Being with Jiang Youyao is like green bamboo to safflower, and valley to fireworks. Although the latter is loved, the former is easy to imprint in the mind.
Ji Shuran turned around and lightly pressed Jiang Youyao's shoulder, before Jiang Youyao put away her resentful gaze.
Mrs. Jiang, who was on the side, couldn't help but look at Jiang Li more. The three daughters of the Jiang family were born to a concubine, and she looked down on them. Erfang has no daughters. The two daughters of Dafang thought that Jiang Youyao was a favorite in the palm of her hand. Now it seems that the ginger pear that grows outside is like a jade lying on the shore, with its own beauty.
Which is good or bad, now it's really hard to distinguish between top and bottom.
Seeing that the two daughters were both slim and graceful, Jiang Yuanbai felt satisfied at this moment, and said, "You can go now."
Each house rode in a carriage. In the carriage Jiang Li was riding in, Jiang Youyao kept acting like Jiang Yuanbai, wondering if it was to stimulate Jiang Li.
Jiang Li just smiled and looked at everything in front of him, indifferent, making Jiang Yuanbai a little uncomfortable. Jiang Li could tell that Jiang Youyao often acted like a baby to Jiang Yuanbo. Jiang Yuanbo's uncomfortableness at the moment may be due to her guilty conscience towards her own woman.
But she didn't have any sad expression. Jiang Youyao felt as if she had hit the cotton with a punch when she saw this. The virtuous Ji Shuran did not stop Jiang Youyao's provocative behavior. It's just a matter of thinking about it. It's normal for my daughter and father to play coquettishly, so where is it necessary to stop it
Seeing Jiang Li not moved, Jiang Yuanbai felt disappointed in his heart. This daughter is now beautiful and outstanding, and his father is not unproud. Jiang Li didn't seem to complain about what he did back then, and never complained. This may be Jiang Li's generosity, but Jiang Yuanbai felt even more that Jiang Li didn't care.
Jiang Li seemed to be watching a stranger.
Jiang Li at this moment was sitting in the carriage, thinking about going from Qianjin Palace.
At that time, she was truly and deeply joyful, proud of Shen Yurong's achievements, and thankful that she was his wife. She was afraid that she would embarrass Shen Yurong by doing a little wrong, so she practiced nervously when she was in the house. She rarely had such nervousness. At that time, Shen Yurong laughed at her and said to her: "Don’t be afraid, if Ari makes a mistake, his majesty will be angry. In the worst case, he will not be the official as her husband and go back to Tongxiang to farm with Ari. go with."
She pretended to be angry and was going to beat Shen Yurong, which made Shen Yurong laugh. Now that I think about it, it feels like a world away. In fact, she did not make a fool of herself at the palace banquet, but did a good job. The queen praised her for being smart. And Shen Yurong would not abandon her official ranks for her at all, but would kill her for the sake of being promoted to the ranks.
What she thought was true was not true, and the lie she thought was not a lie, true or false, this time, she would no longer be blinded by the path she had traveled.
She will also slowly walk to where she wants to go, bit by bit to accomplish what she is about to accomplish.
Revenge for his father and Xue Zhao, and seek justice for himself who died unjustly.
When the carriage drove, Jiang Youyao stopped talking and became silent. Each of the family had their own thoughts, and only felt that time passed by quickly.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped.
The groom outside said, "Madam, sir, here it is."
Jiang Yuanbai got out of the car first, and the maid below came to help Ji Shuran and the others. Jiang Lifu got out of the carriage and collapsed on the ground separated from the palace gate, looking at the deep palace wall, and his mood was complicated for a while.
It was in this palace that a vicious and domineering person like Princess Yongning grew up to oppress the people with power, and Shen Yurong didn't hesitate to sacrifice her just to win a place in the magnificent palace.
This palace looks magnificent, but how many of the people living in it are walking dead? They wear gold and silver, as if they have everything, but in fact they have nothing. Jiang Li pityed them, despised them, and didn't want to be with them.
"Second sister, this is the gate of the palace." Jiang Yu'e said, who got off the back carriage.
Jiang Li smiled, Jiang Jingrui twisted his neck uncomfortably, the person he has to wear today is like a person, and he can't be presumptuous like in the house. For Jiang Jingrui, this is simply killing him. Jiang Jingyou next to him is as kind as ever, and he and Jiang Yuanping and his son are almost carved out of the same model.
Outside the palace gate, some official horse-drawn carriages came one after another, and those with lower grades also came over to greet Jiang Yuanbai like a kindness. It's just that the Jiang family came a little late. Jiang Yuanbai had to see Emperor Hong Xiao first, so he didn't stay too much outside the palace gate, and the person leading him went straight in.
Jiang Youyao had thought that Jiang Li would be at a loss for the first time in the palace, and would be overly nervous. It would be great if he could see Jiang Li making a fool of himself. Who knew that when she turned her head, she saw Jiang Li walking especially leisurely with her skirt slightly lifted.
It was as if the palace was her own back garden.
Jiang Youyao couldn't help feeling frustrated. It was the first time she entered the palace, she was also trembling for fear of doing something wrong, but Jiang Li didn't seem to be stage fright at all. Jiang Youyao deliberately wanted to pick Jiang Li's fault, but until he reached the destination, Jiang Li was also foolproof and made no mistakes.
Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied. After all, among the juniors who came today, only Jiang Li was the strangest to the palace. She was afraid that Jiang Li had made a mistake. At the moment, Jiang Li did a good job, and there should be no problem.
At this moment, many officials have arrived in the main hall of Yuming Hall. These ladies and ladies are all official family members of Yanjing Grade 3 and above, and they have a valuable status. Because the night banquet has not yet begun, most of them are talking with people who are familiar with each other. Like this kind of palace banquet, the daughter's family is trying hard to dress up. These women who have the right or not, are willing to attend the palace banquet. Leave a good look. Because there are many official viscounts and young talents who enter the palace today, the Beiyan atmosphere is more open than the previous dynasty. As long as young men and women do not overstep and are affectionate to each other, they can form the good of Qin and Jin through door-to-door marriage. .
In places like palace banquets, most of the people who come are right in front of each other, which is a great convenience.
A pair of mother and daughter sitting in the east direction. The woman is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She wears a jade dress with jade butterfly pattern on her head. She is beautiful, and the women around her are also beautiful. It's gorgeous, but when it comes to it, it's not as natural as the ladies around him, with a bit of petty style.
This mother and daughter are Shen Yurong's mother and sister, Shen Ruyun.
Now that Shen Yurong is a member of Zhongshushe, Shen Ruyun and Shen Mu can naturally come to participate in the palace banquet. Although Shen Yurong is a widow, everyone in Yanjing City knows that it was Shen Yurong's wife Xue Fangfei who had an affair with others. The death of such a wife is just because God opened his eyes. Shen Yurong is young and promising, with a boundless future, and even more handsome and well-mannered. Many people have spotted Shen Yurong and thought about sending their daughter to Shen's house.
You must know that the population of the Shen family is simple, only Shen Ruyun and Shen mother. In the future, Shen Ruyun will marry. Whose daughter will marry will be able to be the house. You don’t need to get along with the sister-in-law, just get along with the mother-in-law. For many spoiled ladies , This is already pretty good.
It is precisely because of these thoughts in his heart that, in Shen Yurong's face, many noble ladies come to have friendship with Shen's mother. They didn't dislike Mother Shen's original small households, and praised Mother Shen very enthusiastically, and even praised Shen Ruyun with them, making Shen Ruyun a little airy.
Nie Xiaoshuang, Zhu Xin'er, and the two Miss Ming Yitang who were in the same group with Jiang Li last time during the inspection of the Royal Shot, also surrounded Shen Ruyun and spoke.
Seeing this, the catkins on one side snorted and bit their ears with Mrs. Liu quietly: "It's the first time I saw it and rushed to renew the string."
Madam Liu bit the catkins on her forehead and whispered: "Just you talk a lot!"
"It was originally." Liu Xu muttered. She really didn't like the behavior of these classmates. She was still one of the best ladies in Yanjing City. That Shen Zhuangyuan died of his wife, not to mention Xue Fangfei's character, anyway, Shen Zhuangyuan What it showed was a deep affection for the deceased wife, and the young ladies didn't think about it. How could they renew their strings so quickly even if they were so affectionate for their deceased wife? If he continued the string so quickly, then Shen Zhuangyuan would not be as affectionate as he showed, and he was also a person of inconsistency.
Just then, I heard someone next to him speak: "I heard that the marriage of the son of Ningyuan Houfu and the first wife Jiang Jiasan is also scheduled for the end of next winter."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Ruyun's expression on the other side suddenly changed, and she said, "But it's true?"
"It's true." Nie Xiaoshuang said: "I also heard from my mother a few days ago that the relationship between You Yao and Zhou Shizi was settled early in the morning, and now it is only the date that is decided, which is reasonable."
Shen Ruyun couldn't help feeling resentful, and said sarcastically: "I remember Zhou Shizi's marriage was settled with Ms. Jiang Er early in the morning."
The people around looked at each other.
Shen Ruyun's words were not good, no one dared to answer it. If he did, it would be offensive to the Jiang family. Jiang Yuanbai was the first assistant of the court. Who would dare to say no to his daughter? However, the younger sister of Chushu Shelang, everyone was also not good at offending, so she had to remain silent.
It's just that in the silence, he recalled what Shen Ruyun said. Indeed, it was not Jiang Li who had married Zhou Yanbang at the beginning. This younger sister had committed her sister's marriage, and she was not very glorious. Everyone went to see Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's face.
Mrs. Ning Yuanhou seemed to have turned a deaf ear to all this, and was joking with Mrs. Yilang, Mrs. Ji Chen, who is also Ji Shuran's first-in-law sister, as if he hadn't heard the conversations around them.
Whether you just hear it or not, only the individual knows it.
The catkins wanted to complain about Jiang Li's injustice, but didn't know what to say, so she looked at the door frequently, wondering why Jiang Li hadn't arrived yet.
At this moment, the maid of the palace who was notified of the preaching, the wife of the Jiang family arrived.
When everyone looked at the door, they saw Mrs. Jiang in the front, Ji Shuran in front, Lu Shi immediately behind, followed by Yang and Jiang's girls, who walked in.
