The reborn son cursed his mother, bah, she heard it all

This is just like a newlywed couple welcoming guests at their wedding.

But the old lady had calculated it well, "Yingying, let's go from Si hour to Si hour 15:00. The people who come during this period are all of similar status to the Duke's Mansion. As for the rest of the noble families, I will introduce them to you slowly by pointing to the gift book."

As soon as he finished speaking, a family of three came up to congratulate him.

It was a couple with a young boy.

The butler announced, "The Minister of Justice, his wife, and the eldest son are here to congratulate us! Gifts: a coral ornament and a pair of ivory and gold four-season flower bracelets."

For ordinary congratulations, a gift is enough, let alone something as valuable as a coral ornament.

But the Pei family gave two copies, one of which included an exquisite bracelet for a young girl, which showed that it was given to Jiang Ying alone.

The old lady thought it through in just a moment, and took Jiang Ying forward, "Yingying, quickly pay your respects to Lord Pei, Madam Pei, and Master Pei."

Jiang Ying took a step back, her figure slender and her posture elegant.

There's no other way. I've been practicing under the watchful eyes of Nanny Tang these days, just for today's battle.

The Pei couple felt as if a fairy had descended before their eyes. Her delicate features, narrowed eyes, faint smile, and dignified and polite appearance made them not even want to greet her.

Just as she squatted down, she was called up immediately, "You are too polite, old lady. It is really enviable to have such a granddaughter!"

After a few pleasantries, they were led to the inner courtyard by the servants.

But Pei Wenting was obviously a step slow. Jiang Ying didn't know him, but he felt that his gaze was very aggressive.

It wasn't the kind of aggression that a man would show when he was obsessed with a beautiful woman, but rather an exploration and scrutiny. Jiang Ying frowned, "Master Pei, is there something wrong with my behavior?"

Pei Wenting touched his chin, smiling, "Miss Ying is indeed different from most noble ladies in the capital. No wonder Yan Zhuo...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Pei in front of him suddenly turned around and twisted her son away.

Pei Wenting was still howling along the way, "Mom, please be gentle, I am your biological son, not someone you picked up!"

Madam Pei, "My own son? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing recently. You even wanted to give your father the Lu Shu ointment and other things. I'm already very good that I didn't beat you so badly that your own mother couldn't recognize you!

"Behave yourself today and stop talking about the prince's shortcomings. Be careful not to end up being a good person and end up being sandwiched between two people. That would be embarrassing!"

Looking at what happened yesterday, we are not stupid. How could we not see that Jiang Ying doesn't want to get married?

Since you are attending someone else's party, it is basic quality to not cause trouble, but she has a stupid son who can't chat!

Jiang Ying’s hearing was good enough that he heard every word.

But she didn't care at all. She just smiled and went to meet another family with the old lady.

"This is the wife of the Minister of Revenue. Her little daughter is getting married next month. Grandma can take you to see what a real young girl who is about to get married looks like."

Anyway, it is impossible for Jiang Ying to be so depressed. Most girls fantasize about the handsomeness and warmth of their son-in-law, and even water tastes sweet to them.

The family dealt with it quickly. When they were welcoming Yue Weimo's father, Yue Xuanfeng, the director of the Imperial Observatory, a heavyweight figure arrived. The old lady immediately captured her and made her wait with Jiang Shang.

An old man with an immortal look got off the luxurious carriage. The old lady nodded and said "the clan order", and the noises around suddenly stopped, and no one dared to make a noise anymore.

The old man's gaze was fixed on Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying didn't look at him, he had secretly seen everything he should have seen. At this moment, he just lowered his head and kept calm. He bowed when necessary and called people when necessary. Not to mention his appearance, his demeanor alone was impeccable.

The Chief of the Clan is the head of the Clan Affairs Bureau, that is, the elder of the royal family.

How powerful are they? They can interfere in everything from appointing a crown prince to whether concubines make mistakes. As a member of the royal family, Yan Zhuo has the clan leader who has more authority over him than his father.

"She is calm, elegant and steady. Not bad. She can be the wife of the Yan family." The old man was silent for a long time, and suddenly stroked his beautiful beard and praised.

The various guests nearby all looked at him with envy and jealousy.

Because this undoubtedly further confirmed Jiang Ying's position as the future clan wife.

With the clan order in front, the officials such as the six ministers, the Censorate, the Imperial Medical Bureau, etc. who followed seemed less prominent. In the end, Jiang Ying only specially welcomed Su Yilan's father.

Su Yilan was there, of course. She was almost frightened yesterday, and now her face was a little unnaturally pale, but she was not weak, so she looked fine. "Congratulations, despite all the difficulties, you finally found your biological parents. I hope you will live a smooth life in the future and live happily ever after."

Jiang Ying could see that her blessing was sincere, so he smiled as well, "Miss Su, the same thing. The most hurtful thing in this world is not being lost at birth, but giving your true love to the wrong person and wasting your whole life. A wonderful person like Miss Su must find a husband who complements her and spend a wonderful life together."

She remembered what her son Monkey said, that Su Yilan didn't marry Yan Zhuo in her previous life, and then she had to endure the torture of a domestic violence man. Now that they haven't become enemies, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

I hope she can have better luck in this life.

However, what Jiang Ying didn't know was that Su Yilan had actually thought it through since coming out of the banquet at the palace yesterday. She would never think about Yan Zhuo again and she wanted to let this person go completely!

There wasn't a very deep love in the first place, it was just like seeing flowers in the fog, which was particularly beautiful.

In less than half an hour, most of the people on the list of officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have arrived!

There are also the emperor's tutor, the chief minister of the cabinet, the censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, and a host of generals...

For the first time, Jiang Ying felt under tremendous pressure.

Both in terms of the number of guests and their scale, it was almost as grand as the banquet held in the palace yesterday.

In addition to praising her beauty, these people also repeatedly asked why her three brothers did not come out together to greet the guests. Of course, they automatically ignored Luo and Jiang Yilin.

Jiang Shangyan smiled and said, "They specially prepared a show for Sister Ying's return, and they also came to entertain everyone. See you later at dinner!"

Just at this moment, someone else came.

Everyone was very curious, who was this latecomer?

The next second, a person and a large box carried by four people came into view. The king's hearty laughter was very characteristic, "Jiang Shang, how can we miss the king in the banquet for our Yan family's daughter-in-law, hahahaha."

"I'm sorry, something happened at the mansion and I'm late. I will punish myself by drinking three cups of wine later!"

As he spoke, he waved to Jiang Ying and said, "Come here, daughter-in-law, this is the gift your father prepared for you. Congratulations on returning to your position. These are just some worthless little things. If you like them, take them and play with them."

In front of everyone, the lid of the box opened with a swish. Oh my god, the golden light was so bright that it almost blinded everyone's eyes.

But that was not all. A moment later Eunuch Huang also arrived. After reading the emperor's congratulatory message, he also brought up two boxes, which were almost the same as those prepared by the king.

Some people couldn't help but exclaim, "This is going against the will of heaven!"

"It is said that Prince Yan had prepared a betrothal gift of 120 dan twice before this. Add these three boxes... My God, this Jiang Ying is definitely the richest lady in the capital!"

"I remember a princess in the previous dynasty received a dowry of 500,000 taels of silver. The dowry was so long that it made everyone envious. Now, Prince Yan's betrothal gift alone is so much. If we add these three boxes and the dowry from the Duke's Mansion, by the time of the wedding, I'm afraid it will be no less than 500,000, right?"

"Of course there are a lot! Haven't you seen how much Madam Jiang loves her like her own eyeballs? Madam Jiang is also famous for her extravagance!"

"Tsk tsk, comparing yourself to others makes you angry. They are all noble ladies. Not only was she born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she also married with a mountain of gold on her back!"

Jiang Ying looked at the three boxes and was a little overwhelmed.

She had originally said that she planned to earn money from her medical skills to save up for her son's dowry, but now it seems that that is not necessary?

Suddenly, someone asked, "Where is Prince Yan? Almost everyone has arrived. Is he not planning to come?"

Following this sound, Jiang Ying subconsciously looked towards the several intersections in front of the mansion gate.

But unfortunately, there was no figure.

Could it be that he was finally pissed off by me?

Jiang Ying was thinking so. At this time, the sound of stringed instruments in the mansion became pleasant and melodious. She and her grandmother did not stay in the front yard anymore. They went to the back yard together and the homecoming banquet officially began.

Jiang Shang glanced at Jiang Ying who was walking slowly, and stood on the high seat with some excitement, "Today, there is a banquet in the mansion. I am very grateful that you can take the time out of your busy schedule to come. I am a rough man, so I won't do anything fancy. Please ask the elders of the Jiang family to give my daughter a name, and Madam Qi to give my daughter a hairpin!"

The clan elder is still the same clan elder, Great Ancestor Jiang Pinhuai.

He had been to Xinghua Village once before. Although there were some twists and turns due to the suicidal Madam Jiang, fortunately everything was investigated clearly. The identity of Jiang Ying, the daughter of the Jiang family, was no longer in doubt. Her identity would be confirmed as soon as her name was written into the family tree today.

Jiang Pinhuai's position was next to that of the clan leader. Although there was a difference in age between the two, they could get along very well.

Of course, it was also because the clan leader gave extra face to the Jiang family.

Otherwise, although this clan leader has a good temper, he is not a talkative person.

When his name was called, Jiang Pinhuai stood up with his cane and nodded apologetically, "Zongren Ling, I'm sorry to leave you for a moment."

Yan Yi waved his hand good-temperedly, "Go ahead, go ahead. This is your main business today, to help the Jiang family find the pearl that was accidentally lost. After you finish your business, we can talk in detail."

Old Madam Qi was already prepared. She had strong legs and had already reached the wooden platform before Jiang Pinhuai.

The stage is both a drama stage and a stage, and every family has one. It can also be used to hold coming-of-age ceremonies and capping ceremonies for children. The Jiang residence started preparations many days ago, so today the entire residence is filled with the fragrance of flowers and is magnificent.

"Go, Yingying." Lian and Old Madam Qi looked at each other with a smile and gently pushed Jiang Ying's shoulder.

Originally, there were only two steps: offering incense and adding a name. Lian felt sorry for Jiang Ying because she had never held a grand coming-of-age ceremony, which was a great pity for a girl, so she decided to hold one after she recognized her ancestors.

The ceremony was simplified, and Madam Qi was invited to add a hairpin for her. Firstly, Madam Qi was of noble status, and secondly, it was her own idea, which showed that she was very satisfied with the intention of her granddaughter-in-law.

In short, whether it was the emperor, the clan leader, or Old Lady Qi and Prince Qin, they all had no objection to Jiang Ying becoming the Princess of a County.

Now it is Jiang Ying who is refusing openly and secretly.

Everyone, "..."

Not sour, not sour at all!

There is an incense table on the stage. The process of offering incense is equivalent to offering sacrifice to ancestors. The incense table faces the direction of the Jiang family ancestral hall. In ancient times, there was a saying that women were not allowed to enter the family ancestral hall, so this is equivalent to offering incense to the ancestors.

Jiang Ying held three incense sticks in his green fingers, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, stood up, and then inserted the burning incense into the incense burner, and that was it.

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

The elder waited for a while, then stood up and walked to the ink table. A thick square family tree was opened on it. He picked up the jade pen, dipped it in ink, and gently asked Jiang Ying, "Who is the young man who is kneeling?"

Jiang Ying answered obediently, "My surname is Jiang, my name is Ying, I am from Xinghua Village, I was born in the year of Wuchen, I am sixteen years old. Not long ago, it was discovered that I was born with abnormalities. After investigation, it was confirmed that I am the biological daughter of Jiang Shang and Luo from the Jiangguo Mansion."

"it is good."

Jiang Pinhuai did not write in a hurry, but slowly added, "This girl, Jiang Ying, was separated from her family because of the evil deeds of her family servants. Now she has recognized her ancestor and returned to the name of Jiang Shang. The whole family is reunited and happy!"

Jiang Shang strode onto the stage and stood beside Jiang Ying. "My daughter Jiang Ying is the daughter of Jiang who was lost accidentally. Now I am returning to the Jiang clan. I hope that the ancestors will bless the descendants of the Jiang family, so that they will be virtuous from generation to generation, and the clan will be harmonious and last for hundreds of generations!"

"The ceremony is over!" Following this melodious tone, Jiang Pinhuai finished the words.

The family tree with Jiang Ying's name added was put into the family tree box and preserved solemnly.

Afterwards, Jiang Shang and Jiang Pinhuai both stepped aside. Old Madam Qi stood up, and Jiang Ying knelt in front of her like a cherished junior.

Madam Qi was ill and her hands were not very steady, but she still tried her best to steadily pin a gold tourmaline peony hairpin on Jiang Ying.

At the same time, she opened the small box on the chair and handed it to Jiang Ying, "Child, I originally wanted to use the hairpin in the box, but then I thought that today is your ceremony of acknowledging your ancestry, so I'd better use the one your grandmother prepared for you. This one is a gift from me to you as a return gift."

She deliberately opened the box in advance just to let everyone see what was inside.

I saw that the head of the hairpin was a red jade hairpin with a small pomegranate shape!

The scarlet color is seamlessly integrated without any traces of splicing, which shows that it is carved out of a whole piece of jade.

Jiang Ying just felt that it was particularly elegant and precious, and it matched her clothes today very well.

But everyone who saw this was surprised and envious. "Wow, what does Old Madam Qi mean by that? She has decided on this granddaughter-in-law?"

"Look at what you said. You've even taken out the family heirloom hairpin. I don't think you'd be willing to part with it!"

"Didn't this heirloom hairpin of Madam Qi go to Prince Qin's mansion with the former Princess Qin? Logically, it should be in the hands of Prince Yan as a dowry now. How come it is back in Madam Qi's hands?"

After someone said this, the looks that everyone looked at Jiang Ying in the stands became even deeper and more complicated!
