Chapter 107
Ye Changan guessed correctly. Within two days, Zhao received many posts from his wives and wives.
Some of them can match the list given by Xie Ying, while others cannot.
But most of them are the ones that their family can't afford to offend.
Zhao was in a dilemma, and the Nanyang Marquis Mansion handed over a post. The Nanyang Marquis's wife, Xie Ying's mother, wanted to hold a flower banquet and invite her to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers.
It was really sleepy and someone just happened to send a pillow.
Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, then called her eldest daughter to come and handed her the post.
"In this capital, we are familiar with the Nanyang Hou Mansion. I thought that as soon as the Xie family entered the capital, many people would definitely come to visit. Mrs. Hou's post just gave these people a reasonable excuse. If we want to gain a foothold in this capital, we must enter this circle. Mrs. Hou probably thought of this, so she took the initiative to give an olive branch."
Ye Jinxi was guessing that the flower banquet was mostly the meaning of the eldest princess of Mingyang.
After having been in contact with Xie Yun'e for a long time, she also knew some things. For example, the current wife of the Marquis of Nanyang, Xie Ying's mother, was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman. The Xie family had not been demoted yet, and the prince Xie Zhuo was sent to Jiangnan. When she was having a social event, she had just got off the carriage and saw the Liu family girl coming out of the side door, with her eyes as she looked picturesque and smiling gently.
Xie Zhuo fell in love with her at first sight and insisted on marrying her.
Princess Mingyang was so angry that she scolded her, but she still couldn't resist her son, so she had to agree.
The marriage was made, but the eldest princess of Mingyang has always been disliked this daughter-in-law because of her background and looked down on merchants. Therefore, when Xie Ying was busy spreading white sugar to various prefectures, the eldest princess of Mingyang did not provide any convenience in her identity. If the white sugar had not benefited the people, she would not allow her grandson to get involved in this matter.
Xie Yun'e said that when this aunt was in the capital, she was not so shameless. The ladies and wives of aristocratic families smiled on the surface, but were mostly ridiculed in their hearts. Liu first came to the capital, and was not familiar with the place, and was inferior, and was cautious in his words and actions. If he was too careful, he seemed a little petty. In addition, the mother-in-law on her was strong, so she was even less confident.
There is really a lack of social engagements.
After the Xie family was demoted to Cangzhou, she became more and more like a fish in water. Now that she has returned to the capital, Liu is most likely uneasy and can't take care of herself. How could she think of taking care of the Ye family? The eldest princess of Mingyang is different. She is a beautiful girl from heaven and a native of the capital. When she returns to this place, she is like a fish entering the water. Everyone knows that His Majesty respects this legitimate aunt very much, and those noble ladies want to kneel down and lick her.
Being able to be invited by the Nanyang Marquis Mansion itself represents a certain class status.
As long as the Ye family’s mother and daughter go to the Hou Mansion to show off, it will be enough to make the noble ladies feel a little worried and dare not make things difficult for them in the future.
This is the benefit of being powerful.
For the Ye family today, the territory of the capital is a place where the capital and wolves look around and are terrifying. For the eldest princess of Mingyang, it is her own territory. She only needs a little charity to make their family gain a foothold in the capital.
...
The next day, Ye Jinxi stopped dressing up and went to Nanyang Hou Mansion with her mother.
Liu's face is not great enough, but the face of the eldest princess of Mingyang is enough to allow all the ladies in the capital to visit. However, Mingyang's eldest princess has a bad temper and not anyone can invite her. Therefore, there are not many people coming today for this flower-welfare banquet.
The mother and daughter were not the earliest, and there were only a few carriages in front of the Marquis' Mansion. One of the mother and daughter, dressed in luxurious clothes, had just gotten off the carriage and was about to get in. When they saw the Ye family's mother and daughter who got off the car at the same time, they stopped.
The two of them were born into noble origins at first sight. Perhaps because they felt that Zhao was born with eyes, they turned their heads and asked.
The maid was stretching her neck to look at the carriage sign. Zhao had already shown her post to the maid who was received by the Marquis's mansion. The maid immediately smiled and opened her eyebrows.
"It turns out it's Mrs. Ye. My wife has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
She respectfully invited the mother and daughter to enter through the side door. Another maid came over and said to the previously elegant and luxurious woman with a surprised face: "Madam Song, please come here."
Mrs. Song nodded politely and asked inadvertently: "That person just now, looking at him, I wonder which mansion is from?"
The little maid explained with a smile: "That is the newly-formed Mrs. Ye and her eldest daughter. The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Guangling. The eldest daughter of the eldest daughter was very smart and beautiful, which made the eldest princess happy. When they were in Cangzhou, the two families also had contacts and entered the capital together. Therefore, the Marquis also posted a post to the Marquis of Guangling."
The figure of Guangling Hou had spread in the circle. Two days ago, many people who came to ask for marriage were all rejected. Many people mocked the Ye family for not knowing the height of the world. A commoner flew up to the branch and thought he would rest assured. He was so ignorant that he offended all the powerful and nobles. In the future, he would have to struggle in this capital.
Of course, some people also guessed that the Ye family and the Xie family had a close relationship, so they remained silent.
Today, when Mrs. Song saw the Zhao mother and daughter in front of the Nanyang Marquis’ Mansion, she was somewhat shocked.
Especially when the maid said that Miss Ye was smart and beautiful, she was quite happy for the eldest princess. It shocked her heart even more.
The eldest princess of Mingyang has always been the best-selling figure in the capital in the early years. Her wives from the aristocratic family were often disliked by her. Such people actually favored a little girl from the countryside. The relationship between the Ye family and the Xie family is more than just a very secretive.
After all, Mrs. Song has seen the world, and even though her heart is turbulent, her face is still silent. Her daughter Song Ruyin is not so calm, she pursed her lips and frowned, looking very unhappy.
After entering the Marquis' Mansion and coming to the garden, the maid left when there were too many people. Then Song Ruyin whispered: "Mom, this Guangling Marquis' Mansion is just a small gateway to the countryside, but it can be invited by Xie's Mansion. Will it be..."
She gritted her teeth, her tone was filled with a 70% alertness and jealousy.
"Is there a possibility of marriage?"
Mrs. Song was stunned, and then shook her head firmly, "Impossible. The Xie family is a prominent family, and the eldest princess of Mingyang is even more arrogant. When his son insisted on marrying a merchant daughter, she was almost angry to death. She only had two grandchildren in total, and the eldest grandson had married, and only one young grandson was left. She had a great future. She must have married a noble daughter. Although the Ye family was granted the title of Marquis, she was still a grassroots family and had no roots in the capital, and there was no one to become an official. The biggest advantage was to be rich. But does a family like the Xie family still lack that much money?"
Song Ruyin felt a little better, but she still couldn't completely let go.
"But the maid just now said that the eldest princess of Mingyang likes the daughter of the Ye family very much."
Mrs. Song chuckled, and her eyebrows were disrespectful. "The eldest princess of Mingyang is old, and the old people like young and beautiful girls. I just looked far away. The girl was born with a beautiful face and was indeed very handsome. She looked smart. She could get the attention of the emperor and reproach her father for being a marquis at a young age. It was indeed extraordinary. Most of the ladies and wives in the capital looked down on their family background, but the older generation would have some appreciation and curiosity about her. The Xie family lives in Shangqing County in Cangzhou and has many contacts with their family. I heard that the girl could write some scripts, and it was not surprising that she could try to please the eldest princess of Mingyang. But even if she liked it, marriage was another matter."
Her tone was light but very sure, "Since ancient times, marriages have always been of equal importance. The strongest person in Mingyang, I used to think that her daughter-in-law was a shameful person. Her eldest grandson's wife was not very good. How could she be careless about her marriage? With the clan status of the Xie family and the identity of the Mingyang eldest princess, Xie's second prince is not a problem even if she is Princess Shang. How could she watch a girl movie with a small family?"
"Princess Shang?"
Song Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief, and became nervous again when she heard this sentence.
Mrs. Song knew her daughter's thoughts, patted her hand and said, "Your Majesty has only three daughters. The eldest princess has been married. The third princess is only twelve years old, and the second princess is fourteen years old. The biological mother is just a concubine, and the eldest princess of Mingyang may not be able to admire it."
Song Ruyin then showed off her face and showed a relaxed smile.
