The next day, the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, was a rainy day and the weather was fine.

Yu Lan got up early in the morning, took a bath and dressed up, and just after dinner, the maid from Yi Ning Ju came over in person and took her to Yi Ning Ju in the main courtyard.

The main hall of Yining Ju is the largest living room in the entire Yang Mansion. It is where the Yang family holds some ceremonies and banquets. When the rain came, I saw many maids and women coming in and out, busy. It was still early, and the guests were still there.

Didn't arrive.

Yulan went to greet the eldest lady first, and the eldest lady took the opportunity to help her see if she was dressed appropriately. The eldest lady saw that she was wearing a lake green Hangzhou silk dress. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her hair was as black as ink. Her whole person was elegant.

Tranquil, like orchids in an empty valley. It makes people unable to take their eyes away.

After carefully dressing up, the eldest lady could not help but feel in a trance, thinking of the beautiful Aunt Qi. In the blink of an eye, her daughter had grown up and was as beautiful as her.

The eldest lady looked carefully up and down and couldn't find anything wrong, so she nodded and said warmly: "Today is a good day for you. The ceremony won't start for a while. You go and sit in the small hall at the back for a while."

The time for haircut ceremony has already arrived, and indeed there will still be some time left.

It’s not that the eldest lady didn’t want to ask who the noble person was who was secretly helping her, but yesterday Princess Qingjiang specifically reminded her that the noble person didn’t want to reveal her name, so the eldest lady wisely didn’t ask any more questions. The eldest lady also had her own judgment.

She thought it must be Concubine Hui. During the time when she was on tour with the emperor, the relationship between Yulan and the young prince was very close. The eldest lady saw it with her own eyes.

Mother Wu came over in person and helped Yulan walk into the small hall to wait for the auspicious moment. Yulan was the real master today, so naturally he didn't have to go to greet the guests. After a while, he heard a noise outside. Yulan thought it must be a big storm.

The guests invited by my wife have arrived.

After a while, the curtain was raised, and Yuxia and Yuqing walked in one after another. Probably they wanted to see how Yulan was preparing.

"Sister Qi, you are so beautiful today." Yuqing shouted as soon as she walked in. Today is Yulan's big day. Xiaoyue Xiaoyu helped her dress up carefully. She already has outstanding color, and this dress makes her look even more beautiful.

She is so beautiful that she outshines Yuxia.

Yuxia didn't have any good intentions at first, so she couldn't help but snorted after hearing this. "Seventh sister, you have grown up. Sister, I am here to congratulate you!"

Yulan glanced at her, with a faint smile on her face: "Thank you, Fifth Sister!"

Yuxia changed the topic and pretended to be surprised: "It's just such a nice day today, but I saw that my wife didn't invite you any important guests. The seventh sister has been working hard for the eighth sister, but this flattery has hit the mark."

Come on, how pitiful you are!" After saying that, he covered his mouth and smiled.

Yu Lan understood immediately. She had heard that she was unwilling to use her as a praise person, so she came here to make trouble for herself with resentment. Yu Qing also understood what Yu Xia meant now, and her face turned pale.

He changed and murmured: "Fifth sister, today is a good day for seventh sister, why do you..."

Halfway through her words, Yuxia stared back with a fierce look.

Yulan was not angry, but just smiled and said: "Fifth sister, you have a father who loves you, and you have such an outstanding aunt, and the haircut ceremony is done naturally and gracefully. But I can't compare to it in any way. It's just that

, No matter how hard my father works, he is still not as good as the eldest sister and the second sister. I really feel sad for the fifth sister!" When the rain clouds reached the hairpin, the Queen Mother had not yet passed away, and Aunt Liu was in the ear of the eldest man one month in advance.

While blowing the pillow breeze, with the personal intervention of the eldest master, Yuxia's haircut ceremony was held in a very dignified manner. Compared with Yufei, it was a world of difference. But she was a concubine after all, and the eldest master would help her smooth things over.

Compared to

When the eldest girl and the second girl come, the number and quality of the guests will be quite different. After all, she is just a concubine. No matter how prestigious she is, it is impossible for someone with a title to come in person. It is good to have the ceremony.

Yu Lan's eyes were sharp: We are all concubines, elder brother, don't laugh at the second brother!

Yuxia was angry in her heart, and her face could not help but darken. In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have remembered something again, and took out a five-piece Ruyi hairpin made of exquisite mutton-fat jade from her head, and said with a smile: "This hairpin is from when I was a hairpin."

At that time, my father spent a lot of money to have it specially made by Duobao Xuan!" At this point, she paused and said, "I heard that my wife didn't have time to give my sister any good jewelry this time! My sister temporarily lent me this hairpin.

You use it!"

Yulan raised her eyes and looked at Yuxia quietly, her eyes full of contempt. The more you give in to some people, the more she will push her further. Yulan said coldly: "We are all sisters, and you are instigating me and others like this."

Is the relationship between the wives interesting?" She pushed away Yuxia's extended hand without hesitation: "Even if mother prepares a wooden hairpin for me, I will be content with it. Fifth sister, please give me your precious

Take your hairpin back."

Yuxia uses herself to judge others, but she doesn't understand that most people in this world pursue fame and wealth, good face, and the limelight, but there are also a small number of people who don't take pleasure in things or feel sad about themselves. Yulan knows that she

What kind of status and what kind of treatment should she have? Although she has some complaints about the eldest lady treating her like this, she will never turn against her because of such a thing.

Yuxia sneered again and again: "Okay, okay! Yang Yulan, do you think your wife will look at you with admiration? Stop dreaming! If you don't want to drink a toast, I'd like to see how you, the seventh young lady of the Yang family, can handle the hairpin ceremony.

How shabby." After saying that, she put the five wish-fulfilling hairpins back into her hair and walked out of the small hall proudly. She had made up her mind to see Yulan's joke.

The two of them were at war with each other just now. It was not until Yuxia left the house that Yuqing finally let out a breath. She was afraid that Yulan would be angry, so she advised her: "Fifth sister is too much. Seventh sister, you must not be angry!"

Yulan smiled, patted her hand comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not angry. It's okay to be angry with such a person!"

Yuxia walked out of the small hall and came to the hall of Yiningju. It was already late, and the eldest lady did not need her help to greet the guests. The old lady dragged the sick body over, and the guests also arrived in twos and threes. The first ones to arrive were all

Her sisters, the eldest girl, the second girl, and the fourth girl all rushed over to serve her mother-in-law. As Yuxia looked at them, her face became very ugly.

There is no need to mention Mrs. Niu, the mother-in-law of the fourth girl. The mother-in-laws of the eldest girl and the second girl, one is Mrs. Ji'anhou and the other is the old lady of Dingge in the cabinet. They are both very important figures in the circle of ladies in the capital. Last time her

The two ladies of Jijili respected their status and were not present, but this time they all came. Yuxia couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, why? Why did a girl born by a prostitute surpass her in this aspect?

go!

Yuxia didn't know that all these ladies had met Yulan, and they all had a good impression of this generous and decent girl. After the eldest lady sent her the post, they all came here to save face.

However, Yuxia had to go forward to greet them. When she returned to her seat and sat down, she fiercely grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and cursed the two ladies in her heart, while cursing Yulan fiercely.

. She vaguely felt that her wish to see Yulan's jokes might not be fulfilled today.

While she was thinking wildly, someone suddenly shouted from outside: Princess Qingjiang is here! Mrs. Meng, the Marquis of Linjiang is here! Yuxia stood up in shock. Of course she knew who Princess Qingjiang was, and the Marquis of Linjiang was also the marquis who held real power in the capital.

Madam, what happened today?

Now even the old lady personally welcomed him out.

Arriving in a blink of an eye, Yulan heard the eldest lady's voice coming from the hall outside. Yulan's hairpin ceremony was of course hosted by the eldest lady, her aunt, and Yulan couldn't hear what she said outside. She could only hear the voice coming from outside.

When the sound of silk and bamboo came, Wu's mother had already walked in, saying that all the guests had arrived, and asked her to go out to participate in the hairpin ceremony. Xiaoyue Xiaoyu supported her from the left and right and walked out of the small hall.

Yulan took a deep breath, and Wu's mother opened the curtain in front, and she walked out with steady steps. The scene was completely silent, and all the guests stared dumbfoundedly at Yulan, wearing a lake green dress, walking in solemnly.

In the main hall, everyone felt their eyes brighten. There were more than a dozen ladies present, but they all seemed to pale in comparison with her.

Everyone had a thought: The seventh girl of the Yang family is really pretty. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is more beautiful than any other girl. Only Yuxia glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of jealousy.

Yu Lan looked at the full living room with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

She didn't expect that so many people would come this time! It was a bit unexpected!

Her good friend Ma Yunniang was sitting on her seat and smiling at her. Yulan nodded slightly towards her and walked elegantly to the center of the hall. Her skirt did not move, as if a lotus was growing every step of the way. Everyone looked relaxed and happy. Yulan had already reached the hall.

In the center, he knelt down on the rattan mat.

The eldest lady quickly glared at Yuqing. Yulan, the main character, did not have stage fright, but Yuqing, the praiser, had some stage fright. Yuqing hurriedly walked over and started to comb Yulan's hair.

After her hair was combed, Princess Qingjiang stood up. The old lady personally took Princess Qingjiang's hand and walked to the side of Yulan. Mrs. Houmeng of Linjiang followed behind the princess. The old lady said: "I'd like to thank you, Princess."

My seventh girl holds a hair-raising ceremony!"

Princess Qingjiang smiled and said, "You are so polite, old lady!"

When Yulan saw that her guest of honor was Princess Qingjiang, she looked very excited. It was not because of vanity, but because she knew very well that if Princess Qingjiang was willing to come to get her hairpin, Ye Yichen must have intervened. She did not

She didn't reveal her birthday to Ye Yichen, but she didn't expect the prince to be so attentive. At that moment, Yulan's eyes were a little moist, and it felt really good to be held in the palm of someone's hand and loved.

She and Princess Qingjiang looked at each other, and Princess Qingjiang smiled at her, looking very loving. She didn't know that Princess Qingjiang was thinking at this moment: It's a pity that this girl was taken care of by that boy Lao Shiliu.

, where is the share of my younger brother Ye Fengqi?

At this time, Mrs. Meng was holding a tray in her hand. On the tray was a five-color jade hairpin. The whole body of the hairpin was carved from a single piece of five-color jade. It shone dazzlingly under the sky. The workmanship was naturally excellent.

It is very fine. The five-color jadeite is extremely rare to begin with, and such a large piece is simply priceless. Everyone here is knowledgeable about goods, and everyone can see that this jadeite hairpin is too precious.

The ladies were a little better. Among the young ladies, there was one with shallow eyes who could not help but breathe quickly. Yuxia was already very shocked when she saw that the guest of honor at Yulan and Hairpin was Princess Qingjiang, but now she saw the eldest wife

He actually took out such a precious five-color jade hairpin, and his eyes turned red with jealousy.

Even the old lady looked at the eldest lady with doubts. The eldest lady was also confused. Yesterday Princess Qingjiang said that she would give a hairpin to Yulan as a hairpin gift. The eldest lady could not resist but agreed, but she

I never expected that the princess would be so generous.

Of course she didn't know that it was not the princess who was generous, but Ye Yichen.

Yulan looked shocked when he saw the hairpin, but Princess Qingjiang showed a comforting smile. Princess Qingjiang said a series of auspicious words, and finally picked up the hairpin and inserted it into Yulan's head.

Done!

Princess Qingjiang whispered in her ear: "Thank you very much, Prince Jin. He put a lot of thought into your hair extension gift! You are a good and blessed child!"
Chapter completed!
