No matter what the purpose of the Sun family was, Madame Luo was ready to go. It was not only because of Jingwan's matter. Among the noble ladies in the capital, her status was not low, but she had never appeared before. Now that she was going to the capital, she had to give a signal. The interaction between the ladies in the inner courtyard was also very important. Therefore, even if she didn't like banquets, it was impossible for her to stay at home all the time. This time, it involved a wide range of people, so it was a good opportunity to get to know each other. Maybe she could even meet her former close friends.
Madame Luo called her eldest daughter-in-law over and carefully asked about the relevant matters. After learning that Luo Jingying received the invitation alone, she didn't say anything. But when Luo Jingying reported that Madame Luo was going to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Madame Luo nodded, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go and prepare. Wan Wan, go back and change clothes. Fifth Girl, come with us."
Luo Jingying's face changed slightly. Although she wanted to embarrass Luo Jingwan in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, after her mother taught her a lesson yesterday, her knees still hurt. She knew that it was not wise to punish Luo Jingwan now. She quickly calmed down, "Third Sister and Fifth Sister are going with us? That's great. "
Madame Luo looked at her faintly, neither happy nor angry, "Go back and change clothes."
"Is there anything wrong with granddaughter's clothes?" Luo Jingying gently pursed her lips and asked with some apprehension.
Madame Luo withdrew her gaze and glanced at her mother, Madame Liu. She lowered her head to drink tea and didn't speak again.
Because of this glance, Madam Liu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her gaze swept over her daughter. At first, she didn't think there was anything wrong, but when she saw Jingwan standing next to Luo Jingying, she finally understood the reason. She calmed down, walked to Luo Jingying's side, and took her hand, "Going out as a guest naturally can't be dressed casually like at home. — — Mother, it's also my fault for spoiling this girl. I have to keep an eye on her for everything, so I didn't pay attention and didn't know how to dress. I'll take her back and dress her up well. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. "
Madame Luo nodded indifferently.
When the mother and daughter appeared, the others also dispersed.
Luo Jingying was pulled away by Mrs. Liu. He was very reluctant to change his clothes, but he endured it and did not say anything. She used to dress like this when she went out, trying to dress as elegantly as possible. In addition, she was quite famous and was sought after by many young masters. These were all her assets. Today, she had spent a long time getting dressed.
Back in the small courtyard of Luo Jingying, Mrs. Liu asked the maidservant to take out her clothes and jewelry. When she saw that most of the clothes were simple and elegant, she couldn't help but frown. However, there were also some colorful clothes, so she didn't have to worry. "Change into it."
Luo Jingying was very resistant. She didn't like the clothes her mother had picked out.
"If you don't want to go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, you don't have to change."
"Mother, why? How did I offend that … grandmother again? "Luo Jingying suppressed her anger and grievance.
"You always dress so plainly and don't have any jewelry on your body. Outsiders will think that the Luo Family cheated you." Mrs. Liu said calmly. "Before, when your grandmother was not here, your aunt was in charge. Even if outsiders felt something, they wouldn't say it. After all, we are two branches. Now that your grandmother is here, you are still the same. It's inevitable that people will say that your grandmother mistreats her son."
"Isn't this better …" Good.
"Ying 'er, you know that your grandmother is a kind person who loves her children and grandchildren. She hopes that all of her descendants will be well."
Luo Jingying moved her lips. She seemed to understand something. Even if the person in charge was her aunt, in fact, the head of the family was still her grandmother. If her grandmother's reputation was ruined, how could they, the grandchildren, get away with it? Not to mention that their grandmother didn't mistreat them, even if she did mistreat them, they would hide it well instead of shouting that everyone knew.
Luo Jingying closed her eyes to hide all the emotions in her eyes. She let the maidservant change her clothes, comb her hair, and put on makeup for her.
Mrs. Liu watched from the side. She wanted her daughter to be beautiful, but she couldn't be gaudy, and she couldn't cover up her previous elegance. It was impossible for Mrs. Liu to be outstanding in these aspects. However, she didn't stay in the Luo Family for more than ten years in vain. When she first got married, she was secretly ridiculed because of her dress. No one specifically taught her. She also watched how others did it. Little by little, she developed a good taste. She couldn't let her daughter suffer everything she did.
Mrs. Liu personally chose a hairpin for her and put it in her hair. "Well, Ying 'er also looks beautiful in this."
Luo Jingying looked at herself in the mirror and then looked at the maidservants' expressions. It seemed that she really looked good. "Thank you, mother."
Mrs. Liu nodded, "Let's go."
Luo Jingying spent a lot of time. When it was time to go to the main courtyard, she seemed to be the only one left.
The mother and daughter hurriedly apologized.
Old Madam Luo didn't say much and the group set off.
Only then did Luo Jingying know that her grandmother and her aunt were also traveling together. Before, they didn't say anything. Was it deliberately to make her lose face?
Even if she tried to restrain herself, Luo Jingying's eyes still fell on Jingwan from time to time. Compared with yesterday's dress, there was no one on her body that was the same. Although not everything was expensive, the worst was still comparable to the best on her body. They were both surnamed Luo, and they clearly had the same grandfather, but there was still such a big difference. How could people be at peace?
Luo Jingying forced herself to look away. Out of sight, out of mind.
The Duke of Dingguo's Residence was the true leader of the nobility, and also the only Duke title. The entire mansion occupied an area larger than many Junwang's manors. Not to mention, there were probably countless things inside.
Because there were a lot of people today, Jingwan and the others waited in the carriage for more than half an hour before it was their turn to enter the mansion.
She didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but the elders and juniors' invitations were separated.
When Luo Jingying found out that Jingwan did not receive the invitation card like her grandmother, she unconsciously straightened her back and felt a sense of pride that was hard to hide in her heart. When Jingwan inadvertently looked over, she gently waved the invitation card in her hand as if she was showing off. With a smile, she handed the invitation card over. The granny who received the invitation card smiled very kindly, which made Luo Jingying mistakenly think that she was particularly important to her. Her smile became even more arrogant.
Jingwan followed beside Madame Luo with a smile and didn't say anything. Luo Jingying focused all of her attention on her. If she paid attention to other people, her mood probably wouldn't be so good. Whether it was the people in front of them or behind them, these young ladies all had invitations in their hands. Moreover, the materials and patterns of the invitations were all different. It could be inferred that Sun Yijia also sent out invitations this time. Moreover, the invitations were divided into different grades. There were probably only a few invitations that were truly made by Sun Yijia. The things that were originally precious were actually … worthless.
Sitting in the small sedan chair, with a very rhythmic sway, they went deep into Duke Ding's Mansion.
Jingwan reached out to touch the materials used in the small sedan chair. Should she say that it was indeed the Sun family. How many people who could get a bolt of cloud silk would hide it like a treasure? If there was a bolt of cloud silk in the dowry, they would be able to earn a little face when showing off the dowry. However, the Sun family cut large pieces of cloud silk to decorate the sedan chair that was only used in the mansion. Should she say that they were rich and imposing, or that they had a deep background?
Jingwan didn't think much of it. She lived a life of luxury and once lived on the streets. In terms of material things, she didn't have many requirements.
However, in Duke Ding's Mansion, there was an Empress who was the mother of the world. Among the princes, Prince Kang's ability wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either. Although His Majesty doted on Noble Consort Su, he wasn't biased to the ends of the earth. Prince Kang was the eldest son of the first wife. As long as he didn't make any big mistakes, the probability of him becoming the crown prince was more than 70%. This family could be said to be full of flowers and unlimited scenery. However, if they were so ostentatious and didn't restrain themselves at all, wouldn't it be like adding oil to the fire?
The person who came to greet Old Madame Luo was the eldest daughter-in-law of Duke Ding. She looked to be in her early twenties. She had a dignified bearing and a perfect smile. She first bowed to Old Madame Luo and then intimately chatted with her. She didn't make people feel awkward when they first met because she was too enthusiastic. Jingwan believed that if it were her, she wouldn't be able to do it even after a few more decades. At most, she would be neither too close nor too distant. This was the attitude most people had towards people who met for the first time. And this person was only ten years older than her. They could be considered to be of the same generation.
As for Jingwan and the other two, she also praised them one by one without bias.
Jingwan accepted it generously. Lu Jingying's face was a little red, but she didn't make a mistake. It was probably the first time Lu Jingyou faced such an occasion. She was a little nervous. However, because she was used to being wooden, she looked a little stiff.
