The six girls filed forward, knelt on the brocade mat, kowtowed their heads respectfully, and all said in a crisp voice: "I wish the longevity star is as blessed as the East Sea, the sun and the moon are prosperous. The pines and cranes will grow in spring, and the spring and autumn will not grow old!"

There were such a group of girls, all dressed in silk and satin, looking like flowers. Wen's eyes were dazzled by the sight of them, "Get up! Get up! Older sister is lucky. These granddaughters are just like the flowers. One by one they compete with each other."

So beautiful.”

A maid had already brought the purse with a tray, and several girls stood up to take it. Yulan quietly looked at the layout and furnishings around him, and saw that Shan'antang was a huge space, with groups on both sides of the Wen family.

There were a lot of daughters-in-law and little girls sitting there, all of them dressed in fragrant clothes and with their hair covered with pearls and green hair.

With the current power of the Xiao family, today's banquet will probably capture all the ladies and gentlemen in the capital.

There were no seats for the juniors, so the Yulan sisters stood beside the three ladies. The ladies from the Sixth Department of Jiuqing Mansion who came first greeted the three ladies of the Yang family.

After a while, Mrs. Xiao also attracted a dozen female members of the Xiao family to meet with the eldest wife and others. "They are all our aunts and uncles, as well as our daughters, nieces and nephews..."

Before Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, a maid came in and reported: "Old Mrs. Huang, the wife of the Minister of Rites, is here." Mrs. Xiao quickly made a complaint and went to the second door to greet her in person.

The second Mrs. Xiao took the conversation and continued to introduce her family. The Xiao family was prosperous and they had quite a few daughters. Most of them were married into the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Everyone greeted them while greeting them, and the elders gave red envelopes to the younger ones as rewards.

The occasion was quite similar to the company cocktail party in her previous life. Yulan calmly and secretly remembered the female members of the Xiao family in her heart. Having been a sales director for many years, she had her own way of remembering people.

There are only three sisters left in the Xiao family who have not left the pavilion. The ninth girl is Xiao Yunrui, the tenth girl is Xiao Yunqian, the twelfth girl is Xiao Yunhui, and there is a cousin Meng Ru from her maternal family, all aged around fourteen or fifteen years old.

The tenth girl is not the oldest, but she is the closest to the Wen family. The other three girls obviously look up to her. She is also particularly expensively dressed, which is not as good as the other sisters.

She was wearing a begonia red poppy poppy bright satin-trimmed long gown. The material shone in the sun and looked very bright. Her hair was tied up in a Uighur bun, and an ivory white Ruyi hairpin was stuck in her temples.

The ruby-carved lime hairpin, an emerald bracelet on the wrist, and the lychee red double-ringed four-in-one Ruyi girdle on the waist were tied together. It made the whole person look extremely rich and elegant.

Mrs. Xiao Er seemed to have a special regard for the tenth girl, and she said a few words when introducing her. The tenth girl turned out to be the direct daughter of Mr. Xiao San, and the direct niece of the imperial concubine. No wonder she had a condescending and arrogant attitude.

When greeting Yu Lan and other juniors, she saw the decent but not extravagant attire of the Yang family's daughters, and her eyes revealed an undisguised look of disdain and provocation.

The corner of the eighth girl's mouth was slightly raised, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes. Even the second girl Yu Jia, who was always cold and cold, frowned slightly.

The eldest wife never takes Yulan out to socialize, but the second and eighth girls are social stars in the circle of noble ladies. I think they know the young ladies who come to the Xiao family, and they don't seem to have a very harmonious relationship.

Yu Lan took advantage of the crowd and confusion to quietly approach the eighth girl, lowered her voice and asked, "Does the eighth sister recognize Miss Xiao Shi?"

Yulan's mouth almost touched Yuxin's ear, and the hot breath from his mouth sprayed on her ears, tickling her ears. For a moment, the eighth girl couldn't adapt to being so close to the seventh sister. After thinking about it, she didn't escape after all, and turned around.

In her ear, with a voice that only Yulan could hear: "Shallow and frivolous, I don't know what to say, the Xiao family is all like this!"

Yu Lan smiled and gave her an expression that I felt the same way. The arrogance and arrogance with which this Miss Xiao Shi looked at people sideways was really annoying.

Everyone was chatting and joking, and it was considered that the ceremony was over. At this time, a little maid ran over briskly, with a smile that could not be concealed on her face: "Old Ancestor, the reward from the Imperial Concubine has arrived. King Zhao and

The two princesses have also arrived. Lord Marquis and Master Shangshu invite you and all the ladies and ladies to come to the lobby to receive the reward and thank you."

Miss Xiao Shi raised her head even higher.

Mr. Wen quickly stood up, with the wrinkles on his face blooming with smiles: "Dear guests, I'll be here later. I'd rather be with you. Come as soon as you go!"

Everyone said one after another: "It's important to accept the reward and thank you! You can do it yourself!"

So Wen went to the lobby of the outer courtyard surrounded by a large group of female relatives. There were only a few housekeepers left in Shan'an Hall, and the atmosphere relaxed. All the ladies got up one after another, each looking for someone they knew to chat with.

The three wives of the Yang family immediately gathered around a group of wives of the ministers and wives of ministers. Some of them they didn't know showed their faces, and some of them knew each other to communicate with each other. Suddenly, they heard a voice saying: "This is Mrs. Qin, the wife of Lord Ma, the commander of Jin Yiwei!"

Yulan's heart skipped a beat and her eyes immediately followed her.

The three words "Jinyiwei" are so touching!

Mentioning these three words "Yulan" immediately reminds me of the following scene: On a dark and windy night, with the sound of hooves thundering, a group of burly men viciously broke into the official's home and killed everyone on sight...

Then Yu Lan saw a round-faced woman in her thirties, wearing a green and floral silk jacket, walking forward in a low-key manner and respectfully bowing to the three ladies. "See you, Mr. Ma Qin, from the slave family.

Passed by Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang."

Is this what Jin Yiwei’s head wife with big hair looks like? Yulan can’t breathe.

Although the commander of the Jinyiwei was not a high-ranking official, only a third-rank official, he was a personal general of the emperor. He had the power of prison, inspection, patrol and arrest. All previous commanders were the most trusted generals around the emperor, and had the power to arrest officials at any time and submit them to the imperial edict.

Prison, the real power is overwhelming. The three wives all understand this truth, so no one dares to make excuses and return the favor politely.

Mrs. Qin pulled out a pretty girl from behind and said, "This is my daughter Yunniang!"

This girl was dressed in a moon-white dress. She was thirteen or fourteen years old. Her eyes were sharp but her face was reserved. She walked forward to greet her in a coy manner, her voice like a mosquito gnat.

Yulan was once again shocked. How can you say that you are also the daughter of the country's largest spy leader? Even if you don't wear a pair of toad glasses and show murderous intent, you should still show some domineering and revealing expressions! What is this?

Yulan was momentarily immersed in the complex emotions of having her idol shattered.
