Chapter 449: three dynasties back door
Chapter 449 Returning to the door in three dynasties
There were so many people from the Li clan who came to Beijing to attend Li Jing's wedding that Ye Anlan couldn't recognize them all in one day.
She followed Li Jing to salute and recognize people, with an impeccable smile on the surface, but in fact she was about to suffer from prosopagnosia.
Fortunately, these members of the Li clan will not stay in the capital for a long time. After she returns home for three dynasties, they will set off to return to their hometown.
Ye Anlan was really relieved that he didn't have to remember the faces, seniority and ranking of so many people immediately.
She played the role of a well-behaved little daughter-in-law all morning, and had a meal with the female family members of the Li family at noon. When she finally returned to her room in the afternoon, the smile on her face had directly froze into a picture of a real person. leather mask.
Li Jing rubbed her cheeks lightly for her in a funny way, which made Ye Anlan hum like a pig.
The two spent a leisurely afternoon in their yard, and then, like yesterday, they went to Mrs. Li's place to accompany her and Mrs. Li to have dinner.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li are very happy. Although they say they want the young couple to stay in their own yard for dinner, their children and grandchildren are willing to accompany them. How can the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be unhappy?
In this way, another day passed, and Ye Anlan and Li Jing ushered in the big day of returning home for three dynasties.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Li led someone to count the prepared return ceremony in person.
After counting, she handed over the gift list to Li Jing, and told him to behave well when he met the members of the Yue family.
Li Jing responded seriously with a smile, and then, under the watchful eye of Mrs. Li, she and Ye Anlan set off for Yongchanghou Mansion.
Yongchang Hou's Mansion is on the street next to the Anguo Mansion and the British Mansion, and the straight-line distance between the Anguo Mansion and the Anguo Mansion is not far, but because the mansions in this area are all ridiculously large, the streets are also extraordinarily long and wide , so in the end Ye Anlan and Li Jing chose to travel in a carriage.
The two chatted in the carriage for about a quarter of an hour, and the coachman drove the carriage to the main entrance of Yongchanghou Mansion.
Ye Jinkui and his wife had already dispatched servants to watch from a distance. When they saw the carriage of Duke Anguo's mansion, the servants immediately divided into two groups. One group was responsible for reporting to Ye Jinkui and others, and the other group was responsible for opening the main gate of Yongchang Hou's mansion, and invited Ye Anlan Enter with Li Jing.
Ye Anlan and Li Jing got out of the carriage, and after walking a few steps, Ye Song walked out to greet them with big strides.
While looking Ye Anlan up and down, he happily called out "Sister".
Ye Anlan waved his hands at him, and Ye Song clasped his fists again, and called out "brother-in-law" with a smile.
Li Jing smiled back, "Second brother."
Ye Song raised his hand to signal the two to enter the house, "Father and mother are already waiting for you."
In the mansion, the soft sedan chairs that had been prepared long ago were carried by the women, but neither Ye Anlan nor Li Jing chose to sit in the sedan chair.
They followed Ye Song and walked towards the second gate of Yongchang Hou Mansion with their own feet very quickly.
The women did not dare to leave, so they could only carry the sedan chair and follow the three of them from a distance.
Ye Song complained to Ye Anlan and Li Jing in a low voice, "I told you that you will definitely not sit in sedan chairs, and neither father nor mother will listen to me."
Ye Anlan laughed. She thought that Ye Jinkui and Li must have guessed that they would not sit in a sedan chair, but they would not, and that the Yongchang Houfu was not prepared, these are two completely different things.
Li Jing's new son-in-law came to visit, Ye Jinkui and Li must want to be perfect in every aspect.
The three of them were talking, and they walked to the second gate of Hou Mansion in a short while.
At the second gate, Ye Song's wife Qin Shiyu, Ye Wei and Ye Tang are looking forward to it with their maid.
Seeing Ye Anlan, the two sisters called "Sister" and walked towards Ye Anlan very quickly.
Qin Shiyu hugged the child, and walked not as fast as the sisters. She smiled and followed the sisters, and also greeted Ye Anlan and the others.
They were not like Ye Song, who waited in the front yard from the beginning, and rushed over after receiving the news. This speed was considered extremely fast.
Everyone met, greeted each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion's back house together.
Because of the rules, Ye Jinkui and Li Shi, who didn't come out to greet them in person, have been standing at the door and looking around since they got the news. Seeing Ye Anlan and Li Jing surrounded by their own children, Ye Jinkui and his wife subconsciously wanted to go outside.
The big maid next to Li's eyes quickly pulled Li, Li came back to her senses, and quickly called Ye Jinkui back.
Although she and Ye Jinkui are Ye Anlan's adoptive parents, they have always treated Ye Anlan as both master and daughter because of their status as servants.
Before Ye Anlan got married, they didn't take their "parents" status too seriously.
Wanting to see Ye Anlan, they went to the British government by themselves, and never called Ye Anlan to see them on the pretext of their parents.
When Ye Anlan came, they would immediately go out to greet them when they heard the notification. They would never just stay in the room and wait like they are now.
But their self-positioning was completely broken on the day Ye Anlan got married because of Ye Anlan's insistence.
Ye Anlan and Li Jing kowtowed to them that day, and now Ye Anlan and Li Jing went back to the Yongchang Hou Mansion on purpose. In this case, Ye Jinkui and Li Shi could no longer do whatever they wanted.
Ye Anlan respected them, so they had to support Ye Anlan's posture.
They have to abide by the rules that should be followed, otherwise Ye Anlan and Li Jing will definitely be attacked by their political opponents.
Of course, except for the rules that must be observed and written in the etiquette books, Ye Jinkui and his wife do not plan to follow the other unwritten rules.
Under the reminder of the maid, they suppressed their true thoughts and sat back on their chairs to drink tea honestly.
If they didn't pick up the teacup, put it down, pick it up, put it down again, Ye Anlan wouldn't be able to see that they were really out of sorts!
She held back her laughter, and together with Li Jing saluted and offered tea to Ye Jinkui and Mrs. Li according to the rules.
Ye Jinkui and Li Shi's eyes were red with excitement, Li Shi agreed with a "hey" while helping Ye Anlan up with his own hands.
Ye Jinkui also helped Li Jing up at the same time. With a wave of his hand, the old lady standing behind him immediately presented a gilded tray.
The tray is very large, and there are a whole set of high-quality pens, ink, paper, inkstone, paperweights, pen holders, a pair of well-carved mutton fat jade pendants, two high-quality bloodstone seal seeds, two identical Small red seal.
The red envelope depends on its shape and thickness. It should be stuffed with silver notes instead of gold and silver locks.
This is the marriage recognition ceremony he and Li Shi gave to Li Jing, but this recognition ceremony contained a small amount of private goods.
What a smart person Li Jing is, with just a glance of his gaze, he immediately understood Ye Jinkui and Li Shi's intentions.
He thanked Ye Jinkui and Li Shi with a smile, and planned to share half of the pair of jade pendants and the two red seals with Ye Anlan when he returned home, and then take the time to use the two pieces of seed materials to separate himself from Ye Anlan. Carve a private seal.
There will be more updates in the afternoon
