[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

With Rong Enqing's insistence, it was decided that Yun Shu would entertain the young ladies from each family individually.

In order to train Yun Shu, Rong Enqing did not let Nanny Li follow her.

Of course, she couldn't really let Yunshu go alone, so she sent Eryue and Chunyu to follow Yunshu.

Because Yunluo was still in mourning for Li, she was not going to attend today's banquet, nor was she going to go out. Therefore, Rong Enqing borrowed Chunyu from her.

Chunyu and Eryue were both senior servants around Rong Enqing, and both were promoted to senior maids. Having them accompany Yunshu could help Yunshu gain courage. When necessary, the two could also help her calm down.

As for Chun Yu, she was the one who dared to challenge Jiang Clan in person. How could she be afraid of these teenage girls?

Rong Enqing and Zhang had already decided on the rules. When Yun Shu received the notice, she was so scared that she trembled all over.

If it weren't for Nanny Li's repeated consolation, Yun Shu would have been so scared that she would have hidden under the quilt.

Finally, after much persuasion from the people at Tingyuxuan, Yun Shu finally managed to cheer up.

Whether you can be looked upon by the lady, whether you can find a good husband, and whether you can live a good life in the future, all depends on today!

Yun Shu breathed in and out in big gulps, constantly preparing herself mentally. By the time guests started arriving at 12:00, Yun Shu was barely able to keep her expression from collapsing.

When guests come, the mansion starts to operate.

Song and others greeted the guests at the door. After the guests got off the carriage and exchanged greetings, servants came to lead the male and female guests to different places.

As for the female guests, after entering the hanging flower gate, those who were polite had to meet the host first. Those who were not polite had to go their separate ways. The elders were taken to Tingfeng Courtyard, while the younger ones went directly to Tinghe Courtyard.

Yun Shu, the person in charge of entertaining the young ladies from various families, also arrived at the gate of Tinghe Courtyard early.

The first group to come over were three young ladies ranging from eleven or twelve to fourteen or fifteen. The maid who led the way introduced them to everyone: "Three young ladies, this is our fifth young lady. Fifth young lady, these three are all young ladies from the family of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, Miss Zhang, Miss Wu, and Miss Liu."

After the introduction, the little maid bowed and said goodbye, and walked quickly to the door. Everyone has their own errands, and her errand today is to lead people in from the door. The rest is not her responsibility.

After the maid left, Yun Shu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly forced a timid smile and said stiffly, "Three ladies, please come in."

As he said this, he extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

At this kind of banquet, the first wave of people who come are usually of low status.

These three are all from the family of Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites. Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites is a fifth-rank official, and is considered to be the family with the lowest official rank among those invited to today's flower banquet.

The three little girls were a little nervous at first, but when they saw that Yun Shu was more nervous than them, they immediately stopped being nervous.

When they found that Yunshu was polite to them and the three of them were also polite, Yunshu felt a little relieved.

When they were led into the courtyard, a maid served them tea and snacks. After settling the people, Yun Shu retreated to the gate of the courtyard, waiting to welcome the next wave of people.

After repeatedly receiving several waves of people in this way, Yun Shu finally felt relieved.

Things don't seem to be as difficult as imagined.

Yun Shu was secretly rejoicing, but she didn't know that the dozen or so young ladies who had arrived one after another were already pointing at her and talking about her in groups of three or five.

"Have you heard of the fifth young lady of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion?"

"No."

"Neither do I. If I hadn't just seen him, I wouldn't have known there was such a person in Shun'an Marquis's Mansion."

"Did you guys just see each other? Miss Li, please come in! Miss Zhang, please come in! Misses, please come in! ...Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. They're like wooden men, and they can only say 'please come in'."

"That's right. When I came in just now, I asked her which young ladies were here, and she looked so flustered and nervous that she couldn't even speak. In the end, it was a maid who followed her who answered for her. What do you think, is there something wrong with the fifth young lady of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion?"

As he said this, he pointed to his head.

Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled.

Soon, someone else said, "How old do you think she is?"

Someone answered, "Looks like he's about fourteen or fifteen, right?"

"Did you say she was engaged?"

"I haven't heard of it. Probably not."

"I guess not. Look at her. She looks like a fool. Who would like her?"

"That's not necessarily true!" Someone lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "I heard that the wife of Shun'an Marquis's mansion has said that she will give 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry to this fifth young lady. You say, with such a large dowry, are you still worried that she won't be able to get married?"

"Yes, with so much dowry, even if you are really a fool, there will be people willing to marry you."

A group of people were discussing enthusiastically when they heard a voice with a bad tone coming from not far away: "I advise you to be more careful with your words. You are not afraid of being laughed at when you talk about others behind their backs."

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a noble woman in brocade clothes, wearing a golden phoenix with flowers on her head, with a golden dragonfly peony hairpin and a golden coral hairpin on each side walking in. Yun Shu, the fifth young lady of Shun'an Marquis's mansion who was being talked about, was following the visitor cautiously.

Who is this person?

Not to mention the pile of jewelry on her head, there were also several silver-colored, expensive rings and pendants hanging around her waist. Even her neck and wrists were adorned with valuable pearls and jade ornaments.

Wearing so many jewels, those who didn't know her would think she was some merchant who had sneaked in.

"Pfft!" Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Who is this person? Why is he dressed like this?"

"She doesn't look very old, I wonder which family she is from?"

Just as everyone was discussing, an uncertain voice sounded in the crowd: "An, Anyang County Princess? Is this Anyang County Princess?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.

Princess Anyang?

It is said that the father of Anyang County Princess was General Weiyuan who had guarded the northwest for many years, and her mother was also from a famous family. However, about ten years ago, there was a war in the northwest, and General Weiyuan died in battle. The general's wife was too sad and followed the general.

Leaving behind an orphan girl who was just five years old.

In order to commend General Weiyuan for his loyalty in sacrificing his life for the country, Emperor Taihe conferred upon his daughter Xie Huan the title of Princess of Anyang County and prepared to bring her into the palace to raise her.

However, Xie Huan was unwilling to leave Shanxi, the place where his parents were buried.

Emperor Taihe sent people to pick her up twice but failed to bring her to the capital. So he had to give up. However, he built the Anyang County Mansion for her in the capital and told her that she could come to the capital at any time. Such an honor caused an uproar at the time.

Fortunately, Princess Anyang was still young at that time and was not in the capital, so everyone just talked about it for a while and then it was over.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. Over time, Princess Anyang had also disappeared from the eyes of the aristocratic families in the capital.

But now, Princess Anyang has come to Beijing in a low-key manner.

Most people in the capital had not yet discovered this, but a few people who were interested had noticed the Princess of Anyang.

For example, the family that just recognized the Princess of Anyang.
