At the entrance of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, several women in gorgeous clothes seemed to be waiting for someone.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, Yang Jinglan was helped down by her maid Xi Qiu.

Yang Jinglan saw her mother waiting for her at the door of the house, along with two aunts and an aunt.

"Jinglan sends my regards to my aunt and uncle!"

Mrs. Shizi quickly helped Yang Jinglan up, saying with some distress and some anger.

"Why are you so polite, kid? You will be wronged outside in the future, but now you are still thinking about etiquette when you get home!"

Yang Jinglan's hands were held by her aunt, pretending to be frightened and then calm.

"Thank you aunt for loving Jinglan. When Jinglan returns to the backyard, she will hug her mother and cry hard!"

Mrs. Yang San has been standing there, quietly watching the interaction between her daughter and her sister-in-law. When the accident happened yesterday, her daughter sent someone back to report that she was safe.

"Jinglan~! How could you have such a nice banquet..."

Mrs. Yang Si lived in the same house as a concubine, and she usually didn't dare to question Yang Jinglan like this. It can be seen that today she really couldn't hold it in any longer.

However, the fourth lady was only halfway through speaking when she was glared back by the Crown Prince's wife.

Afterwards, Mrs. Prince held Yang Jinglan's hand affectionately, and did not forget to turn around and gently call the other girls and boys who got off the carriage to go back home first.

After Yang Jinglan stepped onto the steps, she looked back at her father who was holding the horse. Yang Jinglan always felt that her father seemed to have something on his mind.

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan was in poor health, and after the eldest son married, he directly handed over the power of the family to his eldest daughter-in-law, so it was said that the wife of the eldest son in the backyard of Marquis Dingyuan was in charge of the family.

The group went to the main courtyard first to pay their respects to Madam Marquis Dingyuan and let her see how many of her grandchildren had returned safely.

"I got some good tea when I went back to my parents' house the day before yesterday. Maybe our sisters-in-law haven't sat down and had tea together for a long time! If you have nothing to do today, come to my place for a cup of tea!"

After leaving the main courtyard, the Crown Prince's wife didn't waste any time and took everyone directly to her own courtyard.

Yang Jinglan and several juniors naturally wanted to follow, and Yang Jinglan was already walking beside her mother.

Suddenly, Yang Jinglan felt her mother's hand holding her own. Yang Jinglan gently shook her hand back, signaling to her mother that she was fine!

"Jinglan, was the banquet you attended fun?"

After everyone was seated, the servants served hot tea. Mrs. Shizi raised her hand to signal everyone to get down, and then she asked Yang Jinglan.

Yang Jinglan repeated what she said to the Xiao brothers and sisters here.

Everyone present was a veteran of various banquets, and what Yang Jinglan said immediately revealed the problem.

There was silence in the hall for a while. This banquet must have many consequences.

Although Mrs. Yang Si was afraid of the Crown Prince's wife, she was still concerned about her daughter's marriage.

"Then... does Princess Changle have any young lady from a family that she particularly likes?"

It was rare that the Crown Prince's wife did not interrupt the fourth lady's words this time. Maybe the Crown Prince's wife was also curious about this matter.

Yang Jinglan shook her head. Princess Changle actually only showed her face at the beginning of the banquet. Since then, it has been organized by these girls and boys themselves.

"Fourth Aunt, there are only rumors about the purpose of this spring banquet, but there is no news at all in the palace!"

Moreover, choosing a concubine for the prince is a big deal. It is the first big thing since Queen Yang was canonized. It is unlikely that Princess Changle will be entrusted to do it for her.

Yang Jinglan knew that the fourth aunt wanted her cousin to be chosen, even if it was just Huang Zi's concubine, so the fourth uncle's family spent a lot of money on this spring banquet.

But Yang Jinglan still had to say something. Yang Jinglan... didn't want her grandfather and father's years of planning to be implicated by the fourth aunt's greed.

"Miss Sixth, what are you talking about? I'm just asking you to accompany your two sisters to a banquet. When you come back, you can give advice to the elders!"

Yang Jinglan simply ignored her fourth aunt's weirdness. She would talk to her father about this in private, and his father would definitely discuss it with his grandfather.

Mrs. Shizi asked everything she wanted to know. Naturally, she didn't want to keep so many people in her yard, so she broke up the tea game on the pretext of letting Yang Jinglan and others take a break.

……

Mingjia slept in the carriage until midnight. When Mingjia woke up, the carriage had been parked in the backyard of Zhiqu Building for a long time.

Since meeting Yang Jinglan, Mingjia was completely relieved about her brother's marriage, and began to think about other things in the capital.

"Shopkeeper Wang, please sort out the current membership information of Zhiqulou and the reservation records of the tea room!"

"promise!"

"By the way, Shopkeeper Wang, I may start studying in the near future. You will have someone deliver a box of question books to the Tutor's Mansion this afternoon!"

"Ah? Ah! No!"

Ming Jia issued several orders in succession, and Wang Duo immediately became busy.

Some of the information was existing, and Wang Duo sent it directly to the waiter on the third floor, but some information and data needed to be sorted out by Wang Duo.

"Shopkeeper Wang, are you busy?"

Wang Duo suddenly heard a familiar voice, looked up and saw that it was Editor Sun, and quickly put down his brush to say hello.

Today is the day of the Hanlin Academy's retreat. Sun Juan wanted to come to Zhiqu Building to find two books in the morning, but he was blocked at home by a matchmaker.

"Editor Sun, the two books you are looking for are actually available in this store! But..."

Wang Duo took the title of the book from Sun Juan, turned around and took the booklet to help rummage through it.

"how?"

"One is on the bookshelf. I'll ask the waiter to get it for you! The other book is the last one left in the shop, but it has just been delivered to the owner's room on the third floor."

"Mingjia is here?"

Wang Duo was talking about books, and all Sun Juan heard was the word "owner".

Sun Juan tried hard to control his emotions, and at the same time his whole body was tense. If you look carefully, you can see that his body is shaking slightly.

God knows how shocked Sun Juan was when he found out that Taifu Xie's name was Xie Boyuan in the capital!

Especially in the recent period, there have been rumors in the capital that Taifu Xie has accepted a new disciple, and that disciple's name is Xiao Mingjun.

Sun Juan has been confused during this period, and the reason why Xiu Mu came to Shiqu Building today was specifically for him. He just wanted to confirm it.

Unexpectedly, Mingjia is actually in the capital. Does that mean...

Ming Jia was looking at some books in the study room when she heard from Wang Duo that Sun Juan was looking for books and asked if he wanted to meet him!

"Uncle Sun...he didn't come directly to the third floor? Is he waiting for you downstairs to communicate?"

"Yes, Editor Sun is waiting on the first floor!"

"Then please invite Uncle Sun to come up!"

Wang Duo went down to invite someone, but Mingjia was a little distracted again!

Mingjia feels that the capital is really a good place to hone one’s character!

Back then, Sun Juan was studying at Qingzhou Official School. When he learned that Mingjun was returning to his hometown to take the imperial examination, he packed up his house in advance and waited for Mingjun to move in!

At that time, Sun Juan really cared and loved Mingjun as a junior.
