Today's emperor loves to be lively, and grand gatherings like today's are not uncommon.
However, Girls' Day cannot be compared with the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. It is quite new to be as grand as today.
Ladies and ladies from various families came in droves. Flowers were blooming in Daguangming Temple, warblers were singing, and noble people who were rarely seen in the past were gathered together.
No matter how noble a woman is, she is still a woman. When gathered together, she will rarely gossip about her children.
After a few words, the topic came to the head of Miss Xu San.
"To say that the most popular lady in the capital today is probably the Yongjia County Lord, right? Her majesty commended her and the princess trusted her. I heard that even the prince looked at her differently."
The lady who said this had a bit of a sour tone. In terms of family status, her family's family status is just higher than that of the Xu family. Unfortunately, no one has a better family. Her daughter has also reached her age, but not many people know about it.
There were many people who had the same idea as her, and someone immediately took over: "What's more, as soon as she entered the capital, she made a big splash. Even the people talked about it, saying that she helped people in danger and rescued those in distress, and was compassionate and compassionate. She was actually a living Bodhisattva.
.”
The lady seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "What you say is that at such a young age, you are not afraid of shortening your life. Speaking of which, her county title was obtained by killing people, right? I heard that she pretended to get married, so she got it
Approach the Wu thief and behead him with a knife... Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is too unscrupulous, and you won't be afraid of your husband's future."
"Isn't that true? Thinking about getting married to her, my neck feels chilly. In a girl's family, talent and appearance are secondary, and character is the most important. Who dares to marry such a fierce wife? If she gets angry, she will scream and kill.
manage?"
The ladies and ladies who heard this all laughed.
While we were talking lively, a voice suddenly sounded out: "I really thank you for taking the trouble to ask Madam to think about my marriage. I am deeply honored."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, and then they saw a young girl coming out from behind the flower wall. She had ice-cold skin and picturesque features. She was obviously not dressed up too gorgeously, but as soon as she appeared, the whole garden was filled with spring beauty.
Squeeze it down a bit.
After a brief silence, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Some people choked on their drinking water, and some accidentally stepped on their skirts. It took a while for them to calm down.
The girl had already walked closer.
The lady who had been interrupted by her hurriedly stood up and asked stammeringly: "Yong, Mr. Yongjia County?"
Xu Yin responded with a smile: "Yes, my little daughter Xu Yin has been honored by His Majesty and has been granted the title of County Lord. May I ask which high family your wife belongs to?"
The lady's face turned red and she stood there awkwardly for a moment, neither answering nor answering.
It's not uncommon to gossip about people behind their backs. It's embarrassing to be overheard by the real owner, but it's not unheard of, but it's rare to be asked about it face to face.
But Xu Yin just stood in front of her, looking at her with a smile, as if he would not give up until he got the answer.
The lady had no choice but to reply: "My husband's surname is Liang, and my father-in-law serves in the Ministry of Rites."
Neither the Minister of Rites nor the Vice Minister had the surname Liang. In other words, this lady’s father-in-law was a doctor at the highest level. On an occasion like today, it must have taken a lot of effort for a mere doctor to get in.
Xu Yin nodded: "Oh..."
She didn't say anything, but the lady just heard the humiliation, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Xu Yin turned around, looked at the other person who said that she had lost her life, and asked with a smile: "Where is this lady?"
Compared to the previous one, this lady was much calmer. She slowly shook her fan and replied calmly: "My family name is Liu. My ancestors were fortunate enough to have made military achievements and retained the title of Marquis of Huaiyuan. Now the person who is holding the title is Liu."
Wife."
It turns out she is a Mrs. Hou, no wonder she is so proud.
Xu Yin smiled slightly and said: "So that my wife will know that my title is indeed obtained by killing someone. Who said I don't have the luck of my husband? My ancestors didn't pass down the title, so I can only spell it out by myself. I'm sure your ancestor will know it.
She heard the meaning behind Xu Yin's words. Her husband's title was also obtained by killing people, and her husband was just a lucky man. How could he look down on the title he had spelled out with his own hands?
Mrs. Huaiyuan Hou was so angry that she searched hard and wanted to dismiss it. Unfortunately, before she could think of it, news came from the front that the Holy Emperor had arrived.
Xu Yin smiled again: "Ma'am, take care of yourself. I'm going to greet the Holy Driver."
After that, she turned around and walked away without giving him another look.
Mrs. Huaiyuan Marquis was angry again. What did she mean? Did she show that she was qualified to welcome the Holy Emperor? But... there was no problem with showing off. There were already many marquises in this dynasty, and her husband had no duties. He was an idle marquis.
I really am not qualified to come forward to greet you...
After being separated from these people, Xiaoman couldn't help complaining: "What kind of person is he? He talks bad things about people behind their backs and doesn't feel guilty at all when they are caught. I have the nerve to say that the lady is not particular, but I don't think she is particular!"
"That's right." Xiao Sang agreed very much. "You make irresponsible remarks and make judgments without looking at whether you are worthy or not! If you are still unfaithful, does she have a chance?"
"That's right, Second Young Master Yan doesn't know how to respond. He helped the young lady kill people..."
Seeing that the topic had gone awry, Xu Yin had to warn: "Stop it! You are not allowed to say such things in the future. What if others hear you?"
Xiaoman understood and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "This slave is talking nonsense, and I will never do it again in the future."
Xu Yin nodded and reminded softly: "You must remember that this is the capital, and bad things may happen if you are not careful. We are just old acquaintances with Mr. Yan, and have no other relationship."
Seeing how solemn she was, the two girls responded solemnly: "Yes."
Xu Yin quickly arrived at the front, and after announcing his name, he was able to come forward to greet him - everyone knew that the Yongjia County Lord was in the spotlight, and the princess could not stay away from him for a day.
As expected, everyone saluted, the emperor called him Pingshen, and Princess Changning waved to her desperately.
Xu Yin walked over.
Princess Changning looked her up and down and said, "You look so beautiful today. Is this dress newly made? Why didn't you tell me that I would also like to wear one?"
Xu Yin replied: "I didn't know if they were doing well before, so why don't you just wear it and show it to the princess? If the princess thinks it's good, just ask someone to do it. The craftsmanship in the palace is better, and it will definitely be more beautiful than this one."
.”
Princess Changning smiled, held her hand, and walked inside together.
The custom of Doll's Day is to have a banquet by the water. The Yangshui River runs through the capital and happens to pass by Daguangming Temple, so today's banquet was held by the river behind the temple.
At first it was said that the concubines were coming, and Daguangming Temple was very experienced in picking them up and had already prepared them. Unexpectedly, the emperor was coming at an unexpected time, and the specifications were different. In the haste, a war broke out.
The emperor did not dislike it. Looking at the colorful shed set up by the water, he was quite happy: "It's quite a wild fun to have a banquet like this. There is no need to be restrained today. The etiquette can be saved as much as possible. Everyone can do as they please."
