The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 55 New Year Greetings (2)

Today, the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion did not separate the elders and the younger generations. All the ladies in the house brought their younger generations to sit on the side. Yang Lan entered the house and naturally sat next to Old Madam Feng. Yang Qi stepped back and found a seat at the back. He didn't know anyone in the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion.

Holding the gold foil in his hand, Yang Qi suddenly thought, is this old lady so sad about Yang Lan, is it really just because she misses her daughter? The Yongyi Marquis's Mansion has a lot of things from the palace. The Song Guogong Mansion wants Yang Lan to marry into the royal family, so has the Yongyi Marquis never thought of this?

The Yongyi Marquis's Mansion had indeed not produced any beautiful girls in this generation, so Yang Lan was their best and only option. In the previous life, Yang Lan was able to marry the fifth prince, and the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion probably made a lot of efforts.

While Yang Qi was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Who are you?"

The voice sounded a bit condescending. Yang Qi turned around and saw a little girl standing in front of her. She was about the same age as herself, wearing a bright red dress and valuable jewelry. Hmm, I don't know her: "I am Song Yang Qi, the third daughter of the Duke of Song's mansion."

The girl showed some disdain: "Are you Song Yanglan's sister?"

This sounded a bit impolite. Yang Qi didn't say anything, but looked at the girl: "Now that I have said my name, it's your turn."

Seeing that Yang Qi ignored her, the girl became a little angry, but looking at the elders around her, she felt that this was not the time to lose her temper, so she ignored Yang Qi.

Yang Lan appeared at the side without knowing when, and said, "Third sister, this is the second young lady of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, my cousin Feng Lian."

It turned out to be Feng Lian, the second daughter of Feng Jun, the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongyi. Yang Qi had heard from Xu that Feng Lian had disliked Yang Lan since she was a child and would say a few words to her every time she saw her. Yang Qi looked at Feng Lian with a sudden glimmer of pity. In her previous life, Feng Lian's ending was not very good: "Cousin Feng, Happy New Year."

Looking at Yang Qi and Yang Lan standing together, Feng Lian felt that she would not get any benefit, so she said stiffly, "Happy New Year," and turned and left.

Yang Lan never talked much in public, so when Feng Lian left, she took Yang Qi to the front and sat down. Yang Qi was also worried that he would make mistakes if he talked too much in such a situation, so he sat in his seat and listened to the ladies in front of him chatting.

"My daughter will be coming of age in a few months, and my master is looking for a suitable man now."

"Congratulations, your daughter Lan is smart and lovely, I think she will be good in the future."

After a few words, the two ladies in front laughed. It seems that no matter what time it is, this kind of occasion is the time to gossip about all kinds of family matters.

At this moment, Yang Qi heard someone outside the house shouting, "Mrs. Bai is here, Miss Bai is here."

Madam Bai? Which Madam Bai? Could she be the daughter-in-law of the current Prime Minister Bai? Upon hearing the reply, Yang Qi sat up straighter.

Madam Feng heard the maid's voice: "Please come in quickly, the distinguished guest has arrived."

Under the guidance of a dozen maids, Mrs. Bai and Bai Yuxin entered the house.

In two lifetimes, Yang Qi had never seen Bai Yuxin, only heard of her from others. When Yuan Ruiyuan and Bai Yuxin got married, they toured the capital, which was a bigger scene than Yang Lan's wedding. At that time, everyone was praising the fact that the prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty, who was both civil and military, and resourceful, married Bai Yuxin, the most talented woman. The men envied the prince for marrying Bai Yuxin, a confidant with both good character and excellent morals, and the women envied Bai Yuxin for being able to value the future emperor.

Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh that things are unpredictable. In this life, he first met Yuan Ruiyuan, and now he has met Bai Yuxin. Looking at Bai Yuxin, Yang Qi silently touched the Rongshan Warm Jade against his chest.

The year has passed, and Bai Yuxin is now 11 years old. He bowed to Madam Feng as a junior in the house, and then sat down with Madam Bai in the upper seat. It is estimated that all the suitable men in the Tianyuan Dynasty are eyeing Bai Yuxin.

There were many people in the room, and everyone was looking at Bai Yuxin, the talented woman who was widely known in the Tianyuan Dynasty. There was a time when people in the market said that Bai Yuxin was the most beautiful woman in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

However, Bai Xiang did not like this title. Having been an official for many years, Bai Xiang was cautious. Bai Yuxin had already been crowned as a talented woman by outsiders. Now adding the title of "the most beautiful woman" would put his granddaughter in the spotlight. A tree stands out in the forest, but the wind will destroy it. Therefore, Bai Xiang asked people in the mansion to spread the word outside. Over time, the title of the most beautiful woman was no longer mentioned.

Yang Qi took advantage of everyone's gaze to secretly observe Bai Yuxin. Bai Yuxin was very beautiful, different from Yang Lan. Although Yang Lan's appearance was delicate, she was only six years old after all, and had not yet grown up. However, Bai Yuxin's beauty was already breathtaking, making people feel ashamed.

Yang Qi couldn't help but admire that Feng and his adopted father had given birth to Yang Lan a few years later. If they were the same age, Yang Lan's fame would be much smaller than before. It's not that Yang Lan is weaker than Bai Yuxin, but that Duke Song is too far behind Bai.

Bai Yuxin seemed unaware of the people in the room looking at her. She kept listening to the conversation between Madam Feng and Madam Bai with a very appropriate smile.

Watching Bai Yuxin's every move, Yang Qi felt more and more familiar. Wasn't this exactly what Yang Lan looked like when she was a teenager?

Mr. Yang taught Bai Yuxin and Yang Lan successively, so the two are similar in many ways. Whether it is writing habits or the way of doing things, the two have similarities.

Yang Qi felt a little strange sitting in her seat. Shouldn't the Feng family gather together to celebrate the New Year today? On the second day of the first lunar month, why did Mrs. Bai not go back to her parents' home, but bring Bai Yuxin to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion? Why was this the case?

Looking around, Yang Qi lowered her voice and asked Yang Lan beside her: "Sister, why did Madam Bai come here today?"

Yang Lan had known that Bai Yuxin might come to the Yongyi Marquis's residence today, which was one of the reasons why Yang Lan brought Yang Qi here. They all learned from the same teacher, so it would not hurt to get to know each other better: "Let's talk about it when we get back." There were many people in the room now, and Yang Lan would never gossip about others at this time.

Yang Qi nodded. It seemed that Yang Lan already knew the whole story. It seemed that it was not convenient to talk about this matter outside. Looking at the happy smile of Madam Feng, it seemed that this matter was most likely a good thing.

Madam Feng was already introducing the people in the room to Madam Bai and Bai Yuxin, and when it came to Yang Lan, she said, "Madam Bai, these are my granddaughters, Song Yang Lan and Song Yang Qi. They are also studying with Mr. Yang now."
