The old lady happily took her grandson's hand and looked up and down. The greeting gift had been prepared a long time ago. After giving a signal, Su's mother immediately took out a unicorn-shaped paperweight carved from ink jade. Rui Ge'er also knows the goods.

, seeing that the paperweight was carved from a whole piece of jade, and the carving skills were extraordinary and lifelike. At a glance, I knew that this thing was worth a lot, so I went to see the fourth wife. The fourth wife smiled and said: "Since my grandmother rewarded you, it's a good life."

Let’s go on!”

Rui Geer then respectfully took it with both hands and carefully handed it to the personal maid aside to put it away.

The eldest lady then asked: "Brother Rui is studying now, right? How is your reading going? Is there any time to give it a try?"

Yang Chengrui said respectfully: "Replying to my eldest aunt, my nephew is stupid. He just passed the government examination this year and is preparing to take the college examination next spring. I heard that the two brothers in the family have already won the imperial examination, and the third brother is Jieyuan of Shuntian Mansion.

.Now that even Chunwei has gone through the process, a Jinshi must be a sure bet, so I would like to ask my two brothers for some pointers."

Everyone looked a little unnatural when they heard the word "Chunwei". The eldest lady said: "You are all uncles and brothers, so there is no need to be so polite. If you have any questions about your studies, just ask your third brother!" Chengzong is taking the re-examination.

The first place, if he had not been implicated, it would not be impossible to win the top prize after the palace examination.

And Cheng Rui is only a half-baked scholar. He needs to pass the college examination before he can be considered a scholar. It is naturally a piece of cake for a top scholar to guide a scholar.

After hearing this, Chengrui quickly bowed and thanked: "Then my nephew will thank my aunt first."

The second wife couldn't help but curl her lips. Chengzong's first prize hasn't been passed yet, look at this crazy guy!

The fourth wife pulled out another girl from behind. This was the sixth sister Yang Yulian, whom Yulan had never seen before.

Yulan looked at the sixth girl carefully and saw that she had an oval face and was quite beautiful and dignified, but there was a slight sadness between her eyebrows. What surprised Yulan slightly was that she is still

She is combing her hair like a girl. You must know that the sixth girl is one year older than Yulan, and she is not married yet?

Isn’t that already eighteen years old? In this era, if you don’t get married at the age of eighteen, it will be difficult to find your husband’s family!

The second wife smiled and said: "It's been a few years since we last met, and Sister Lian has grown into a big girl. She has really transformed into a woman. Look at her appearance. This figure and waist really follow our old Yang family!"

"

The sixth girl was a little reserved at first, but when the second wife made a joke, she immediately turned red with embarrassment and didn’t know where to put her hands and feet. Yu Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "Second aunt, look at you, you have made the sixth sister

I'm scared!" Although Yu Lan is a junior, she has the highest status among all the female relatives, so it is appropriate for her to come forward to rescue the sixth girl.

The second wife smiled behind her sleeves and said to Yulan, "It's my fault, my fault! I'm a vulgar person to begin with, and I thought everyone was just like a niece, so they weren't afraid of my teasing!" Yulan immediately became irritated and refused to comply.

, "The second aunt will stop loving my niece after seeing the sixth sister. I don't agree with you!" Everyone laughed, and the awkward atmosphere disappeared immediately.

Yulian raised her head and glanced at Yulan quickly, her eyes full of gratitude. Yulan smiled kindly at her.

Unexpectedly, this sixth sister is so shy, which is different from other girls in the Yang family!

The sixth girl then stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow to the old lady. The old lady rewarded her with a pair of green jade bracelets.

The last young woman in azure trousers led a four or five-year-old girl up to kowtow to the old lady. The fourth lady said: "This is the Jia family that the master took over when I was in office in Shandong. This is Sister Yi. Sister Yi

The son is the daughter of the Jia family."

The little girl was still young, fair and chubby, and very cute. The old lady was happy when she saw it, and asked Mother Su to get a red gold longevity lock for her to wear around her neck. Then everyone greeted her and acknowledged her, and it was a good time.

lively.

Yulan met her fourth uncle, whom she had never met before. The fourth wife had already brought the sixth girl to see her, "This is our seventh aunt. I have long heard that you married into the prince's palace. You are really lucky...

..." There was a hint of envy in his tone, and he pulled the sixth girl and said: "Come and meet our princess! I can also take advantage of her blessings!"

After saying that, she saluted Yulan. Yulan never let anyone salute her in her natal family. She couldn't hide because of her big belly, so she quickly called Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu to come forward and grab the fourth wife: "Fourth Aunt, you

Why is this necessary! We are a family of flesh and blood. You are the elder, the sixth sister or the elder sister. It is my turn to salute you!"

The fourth wife's tone was a bit flattering: "The king of heaven and earth, my master, among the five ethics, there is the country first and then the family. You are the princess, and we are the fourth rank's imperial concubines. We should worship you first!"

"He insisted on bowing down, but Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu couldn't stop him.

Yulan had a big belly, but it was difficult to hold her up and unable to hide. In the end, she accepted their courtesy. This made Yulan very embarrassed.

Yulan disliked the fourth wife a little and thought she was a bit too snobbish.

After a lot of excitement, Ye Minwen ran over and pulled her sleeves: "Mother, concubine, look at how many red envelopes I got." With five or six red envelopes in his hand, he ran over to show off in front of Yulan.

Yujia brought her son, Yufei also brought her daughter, and the fifth wife's brother Cheng was brought by the second wife's brother. Ye Minwen was just playing with these cousins ​​and uncles.

The son is extremely happy.

When you meet for the first time, you need to give a gift. He is the youngest of the generation, so naturally he only gets the red envelopes given by others. Yulan smiled and touched his head and asked him: "Which elder gave you the red envelopes?

Have you thanked me?"

Ye Minwen counted on her fingers: "There are four uncles and grandfathers, four uncles and grandmothers, six aunts, four uncles, and ten aunts!" He added: "I have thanked them all!"

Then he quietly said to Yulan: "My dearest concubine, my tenth aunt is younger than me. Can I give her a red envelope?"

Yulan smiled and taught him: "Although she is younger than you, she is older than you. If you really want to give red envelopes, my mother-in-law will give you a few red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, and you will give them to your cousin."

Cousin, how are you?" Ye Min was a little depressed when she heard that she couldn't give red envelopes to her aunt, but she became happy after hearing Yulan's words. She can't wait to celebrate the New Year soon.

The fourth wife has been paying attention to what's going on here. She heard that Yulan was a stepmother, but she didn't expect to be so close to the prince's son, so she couldn't help but feel strange.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, four tables were set up in Songhe Hall, with separate tables for men and women. They were all direct relatives, and there was no screen in between. The men talked about things in the court, while the women gossiped about some parents and laughed.

It was very lively to hear each other.

With the second wife here, the banquet would naturally not be lonely. The second wife asked a few questions about the customs and customs of Shandong, and the fourth wife answered them one by one. Once the conversation started, the initial restraint became much less intense. However, Yulan still found her

Yu Lian, the sixth sister, is not very talkative. She probably follows the fourth wife. She is very shy and blushes after saying a few words.

After finishing the meal, everyone moved to the flower hall to enjoy tea, but the old man asked Ye Yichen to go to the study alone to talk. This conversation lasted for more than half an hour, and it was not until the time to light the lanterns that Ye Yichen came out of the old man's study. Yanqing Prince's Mansion

Everyone, the second girl, and the fourth girl have already said their goodbyes and left.
