Chapter 31 The whole family is ungrateful!

Jiying Lane.

Sheng family.

Because Jiying Lane was far from Xingguofang where Yang Yuqing's family lived, and the Sheng family did not dare to be the last to appear at the banquet where the families of nobles gathered, and they just wanted to arrive early.

So on this day, the Sheng family got up early and lights came on in every courtyard.

In winter the day comes late.

The daughter of the Sheng family got up early with excitement, and began to dress up by candlelight.

Wei Ruixuan.

Wang Ruofu first combed Rulan's hair into a bun, and then let her go to play by herself.

Rulan is only ten years old this year.

There is no need to dress up specially, on the contrary, simple dress makes it more innocent and romantic.

Then Wang Ruofu helped Hualan sit down and personally untied her hairpin, letting her long hair fall like a waterfall. She then took out a jade carved hairpin from her dowry and began to play with Hualan's black hair.

The luster is warm, and the delicate lines and tassel style sparkle under the light, perfectly combining the femininity and nobility of a woman, making her look like a fairy in a painting, so beautiful.

Standing behind Hualan and looking at her most proud daughter in her life, Wang Ruofu smiled brightly.

"This jade hairpin was secretly given to me by my uncle when I got married. It doesn't look good on me, so I finally found a good place for it today."

As she spoke, Wang Ruofu began to think of her uncle.

My father and mother never loved me. They gave most of their love to my brother and left most of the rest to my sister, leaving only the remaining part for me.

My sister was always with me wherever I went, and I was raised in my uncle's house since I was a child.

Back then, she even gave her marriage to her sister, letting her sister marry into the Kang family, while she herself married into the Sheng family.

Fortunately, my uncle has treated me like a jewel in his palm and like his own daughter since I was a child. When I got married, he even secretly added a lot of dowry to my dowry.

As she thought about it, Wang Ruofu's eyes suddenly became moist.

I thought to myself that when Hualan gets married, I must invite my uncle and his family over.

Xingguofang.

Yang Yuqing's home.

Wang Ruofu and the four Lans got off the carriage.

Although today is a good day, there is no joy on Wang Ruofu's face.

This is naturally because of Molan.

I brought Molan along reluctantly, but I didn't expect that Lin Qinshuang was still unaware and copied her own dressing style on Molan.

For a nice little girl, it's tolerable to put on light makeup, but if she follows Lin Qinshuang and leaves a small tuft of hair on her forehead, it looks a bit unsightly.

Wang Ruofu just couldn't stand it no matter how she looked at it.

Fortunately, Hualan was there to comfort her, and considering that today was the day the two families met, Wang Ruofu forced herself to force a smile.

Although Wang Ruofu thought she had arrived early enough.

When they got off the car, they found that there were many carriages and sedan chairs parked on the side of the road. The decorations were either gorgeous or exquisite. There were all kinds of luxury cars, which made the Sheng family's carriage look a little shabby.

When the Sheng family entered the gate, they saw a pretty little girl standing there, peeking behind the doorpost, looking at them. She clenched her delicate and soft fists, muttered something, and stretched out her fingers one by one.

After her five fingers were spread out, the girl stretched her hand in front of her eyes and shook it. As if she had confirmed something, her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked towards the Sheng family.

The little girl suddenly ran towards this side, followed closely by two maids, who also jogged along, fearing that the little girl would get bumped into something.

When they arrived in front of the Sheng family, the little girl waved away the maid leading the way and looked at Hua Lan with sparkling eyes. Although Wang Ruofu was blocked by the little girl, she did not dare to neglect her.

It was obvious from the look of things that these were the host's children, otherwise it would be impossible for them to make the female servant leading the way retreat so immediately.

"Are you Sister Hualan? My name is Yang Rujin, Yang Wenyuan's cousin."

Hualan said to herself, "As expected, this little girl is the cousin Yang Rujin that Yang Wenyuan mentioned."

Hua Lan had some vague guesses ever since Yang Ruijin started to look out from behind the tall doorpost. Now that Yang Ruijin spoke, she was even more certain of her identity.

Wang Ruofu was stunned when she heard Yang Rujin's words.

My daughter doesn’t usually go out, so how did she get to know Yang Yuqing’s daughter?

"Well, my name is Sheng Hualan, this is my mother, Madam Wang, and these are my sisters, Sheng Molan, Sheng Rulan, and Sheng Minglan."

Yang Ruijin greeted everyone politely and then turned his attention back to Hualan.

"Brother Wenyuan came to see me a few days ago and told me not to run around today. I'll introduce you to the families of each family so you can recognize their faces."

Hualan understood that this was Yang Wenyuan's arrangement. Under the pretext of recognizing someone, he placed Yang Ruijin by her side and took care of her.

Although Hualan was happy about Yang Wenyuan's thoughtfulness, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed at the thought of having a little girl to "protect" her.

The group quickly passed through the archways and corridors and arrived at the courtyard where today's banquet was held.

When you arrive at the place, you should first meet the host to show that you have arrived as scheduled and there will be no delay.

Yang Rujin naturally understood this truth.

But they usually wait by the side and only go up to chat when the owner is free.

Mrs. Chen thought so too.

So even though she noticed it as soon as the Sheng family entered the house, she ignored it and continued to talk with the people gathered around her.

However, things often don't go as you expect.

Yang Ruijin walked in and looked around for a while. After finding her mother, she squeezed through the crowd and forcibly pulled Mrs. Chen out of the crowd.

Highlight the simplicity, crudeness, speed and convenience.

Mrs. Chen could only smile awkwardly and walk towards the Sheng family.

As he walked, he muttered bitterly: "I am the only outsider in the family!"

"All your elbows are turned outward!"

When they arrived at the Sheng family, Mrs. Chen glanced at Yang Ruijin who was standing next to Hualan again, and knew that the purpose of "testing" the Sheng family today had been ruined.

With this fearless "second Yang Wenyuan" here, and all the people present are related to the Yang family, how could anyone dare to provoke Hualan?

"Greetings, Madam." Wang Ruofu bowed and called out.

The four Lans behind her also saluted and shouted in unison, "Good day, madam!"

Mrs. Chen agreed with a smile, focusing her attention on Hualan, and nodded secretly.

She has a graceful temperament and decent manners.

She doesn't look like a daughter of a fifth-rank official, but rather looks like she was raised in the palace. No wonder her nephew is so obsessed with her.

"You are Hua Lan, right? Although we have never met before, your name has been echoing in my ears all day long. Today I finally saw you, and you are indeed a good-looking person."

Hua Lan's fair face suddenly turned red, and she was too embarrassed to respond, "Thank you for the compliment, madam."
