Heluo didn't go to the beauty shop today, it was a rare leisure, but the people were a little bad, and the whole person sat on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tinglan, who was guarding the side, was very self-reproachful when she saw this, and fidgeted for a while, before she stepped forward and said: "Girl, if you have any fire, just hit Tinglan, you can beat me and scold me, it's all Tinglan's quick mouth." ”

When He Luo heard this, he came back to his senses, smiled at Ting Lan and said helplessly: "Silly girl, what are you talking about, I have no roots in this Pei Mansion." If it weren't for you helping me in front of my mother, wouldn't I be like a blind man, how could I still be angry with you, and it would be too late to be grateful. As he spoke, he sighed again: "You have already protected me once, but this time you can't hide from anything." Besides, this is a wealth that is pouring into the sky, how many people can't ask for it, isn't it okay for me to send it here. ”

When Tinglan heard this, she didn't know that this was the girl's helpless words. hurriedly said: "Girl, don't say that, this is still early before the draft time, maybe there will be a turnaround." Girl, you go and beg the master, the master still feels sorry for the girl. ”

When Heluo heard this, he looked at Tinglan fixedly for a while and said, "Tinglan, I thought you were a smart and transparent person. Who knew that he was so confused, and the things that had been considered so early in the house showed that my father had already made up his mind, how could he still allow me to intercede. Besides, if I go to intercede, where did I get this news? How can I make it clear to my father? My father took pity on me, but for the sake of my deceased aunt. Now that I go to intercede, it will not only appear that I am ignorant, but also that I am scheming, and I will not think about the family, so how can I take care of me? Now that the eldest lady can no longer tolerate me, it is better to enter the palace than to marry a ruined person, so as not to embarrass everyone. ”

When Tinglan heard this, she also had a plan in her heart, kowtowed to Heluo heavily, and said: "I understand what the girl means, as long as the girl doesn't dislike it, Tinglan is willing to follow the girl into the palace." ”

Heluo heard this and didn't say anything more. just told him to be very careful after he went back, so as not to be seen by others, and ordered him to go down.

When Heluo was the only one left in this courtyard, Heluo sighed softly, not that he didn't think that there would be some helpless things in this era, but he didn't expect it to happen so early, let alone that he would go to the palace with a large group of women to compete for a man. has watched so many harem dramas in modern times, and I also know that it is not easy to survive in the harem, and now, I actually want to go, Heluo only feels the unspeakable fear in his heart, and the fear of the future.

Since I'm going to enter the palace, I don't know anything yet. But as soon as you have to think about a good place, besides, you still have a beautiful place outside, so you have to be ready to arrange it before leaving! Although my father didn't reveal any thoughts to me now, now that I know, I must take the lead. Listening to the meaning of the eldest brother's words, it is nothing more than that the father wants to send himself into the palace, just to find an obedient chess piece for the eldest sister to take the position, if he is self-sufficient and does not want to be at the mercy of others, he has to find his own way. The resources in the family are all paved for Heyu, and I must not be able to count on it, so I have to prepare some net worth for myself.

Because of his entry into the palace, Heluo has been very busy in the beauty shop these days. Presumably, when you enter the palace, you also need a lot of silver, and what you give in the palace is limited after all, so you have to rely on yourself. Taking advantage of these few days, in accordance with modern management, Heluo has set a rule from the raw materials of things to the production and then to the sale on the shelves. is well organized, as long as Mama Zhou is kept an eye on it at that time, she is not afraid of chaos in this small shop after she leaves.

It's just that tomorrow is the birthday of Master Pei's forty and nine, just because men don't make whole numbers for their birthdays, Pei's mansion began to show this birthday banquet very early. It took nearly a month just to post to friends and family around me. Despite the fact that they had started preparing so early, the people were still much busier than usual. Moreover, the eldest prince of Pei Mansion rushed back because of this incident, it is enough to see that Master Pei's birthday is important to his children, Heluo thought about it, and the gift he prepared was neither exaggerated nor intimate, but he did not come up with any limelight ideas. So, I went to bed early at night.

On the second day, the people in Pei's Mansion were busy early in the morning. The kitchen in the house also began to prepare the wine and food for the birthday banquet early in the morning.

On a day like today, Heluo didn't dare to pick plain clothes as usual, and he was sick and crooked on weekdays, which might cause people to pity, but on a day like today, if he was like this, he would be said to be ignorant. Therefore, Heluo asked Mama Zhou to find her a rose-red dress, and her face was not as white and miserable as in the past, so that she looked a little healthy and ruddy, and the whole person looked brighter than before, it seemed that Master Pei's birthday made Heluo happy from the bottom of her heart.

When Heluo arrived at the main hall, he found that the guests had come one after another, as the so-called "three days for the invitation, two days for the call, the day for the pick-up" The guests will come on time before their birthdays.

The old lady and the eldest lady were entertaining the ladies in the inner room, presumably because the eldest prince had returned, and the smiles on their faces were very obvious. The eldest lady wore a red blouse and a Confucian skirt. It is covered with a crimson bat shawl, and it looks very festive. He kept greeting those noble ladies, and when he saw him, he stepped forward to salute the old lady and the eldest lady in turn, and then did not disturb much, and quietly walked to a corner and sat down.

When the banquet began, Heluo was taken by the girl into the table, and everyone was seated. The guests presented their congratulatory gifts one by one like Master Pei, and when the guests finished their congratulatory gifts, it was the turn of the juniors in the house, because of the matter of Heying, the so-called ugliness of the family should not be publicized. The mansion only announced that the second girl in the mansion was sick, so she was sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside, and the only two people left were Heluo and Pei Dagongzi.

"The son wishes his father to be like the day of the rising of the east, as blessed as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. Pei Zhiyuan stood in the middle of the hall, smiling, kowtowing, and his voice was very clear and powerful. With the demeanor of a son, Heluo heard the successive exclamations of the surrounding guests. Subsequently, Pei Dagongzi asked people to carry up a pillar three feet high and covered with red silk.

After the little servant stood beside him, Pei Dagongzi personally uncovered the layer of red silk with both hands. Everyone stretched their necks, and when the red silk was uncovered, it was a three-foot-high red coral with a rosewood base, and its branches were open, and the color was bright red like blood, shining in the daylight of the daylight, and it was very dazzling.

All the guests were amazed at this time, red coral is rare, let alone such a condition. I'm afraid it's not far from the tribute offered to the palace. They all rushed to look in the middle, and some people were reluctant to blink, for fear of missing this opportunity to brag to others.

"Knowing that today is my father's birthday, my son sent people to watch over the coast of the South China Sea a year ago to see if there were any good corals fished by fishermen, and there was no news until half a year ago. Pei Zhiyuan said slowly, his voice was extremely gentle, it seemed that he was very accustomed to bothering about his father's birthday gift like this, and he was not proud of it.

Master Pei sat in the hall, brushing his beard, laughing loudly, and was very happy for the filial piety of the eldest child. Liansheng said: "My son has a heart, my son has a heart." The guests were also amazed when they heard it. The satisfaction and pride in the eyes of the old lady and the eldest lady can overflow their eyes.

When the eldest prince heard this, he bowed again, and then returned to his position and sat down, although he was not arrogant or impatient, but the smug arrogance in his eyes could still be seen. I can't help but complain in my heart: Eating Master Pei's, using Master Pei's, and sending things is also money from Master Pei, and the whole thing is a gnawing of the old family. What is there to admire, the brain circuits of the ancients are really difficult to understand.

When it was time for Heluo to present her birthday gift, Heluo got up slowly, although she was a little shy, but she still showed a bit of the dignity of everyone's ladies, so that the old lady who pinch her breath, Master Pei and others were very relieved.

Heluo took a breath slowly, and then said: "My daughter wishes her father a birthday, and I wish my father three stars of happiness, Lu, and longevity, and happiness in the house, and good luck." Because her daughter is a little girl, she doesn't have such an amazing gift as her eldest brother. It's just that two years ago, when I went to Cheongdam Temple to pray for my mother, I planted a podocarpus pine for my father in the temple, and prayed for my father's health every day, and today I use it as a birthday gift for my father. ”

After saying this, Heluo gave up his body and lifted up a half-person-tall potted plant covered with red silk. I slowly peeled off the red silk with my hands.

Originally, everyone was a little unimpressed because they heard that it was just a podocarpus planted by the little girl. After all, podocarpus is also a common thing, although it is planted by herself in the temple, but it is a rare little girl's heart.

But when the red silk was removed, everyone was surprised, the podocarpus looked like an old man with a cane in one hand and a longevity peach in the other, which looked like an Antarctic fairy. But there was no trace of pruning of this podocarpus. It looks very lifelike and ingenious. It can be seen that the filial piety of the three girls of Pei Mansion touched heaven and earth, and made them manifest their spirits on an ordinary pine tree.

Everyone couldn't help but admire, first the three-foot red coral of the eldest prince of Pei Fu, and then the podocarpus of this Antarctic immortal, this Master Pei really gave birth to a pair of good children.

Master Pei was also very happy to see this podocarpus, and while feeling his daughter's filial piety, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Even the old lady was a little moved, because the old man believed in Buddhism very much, he was very convinced of this, and he was very emotional about the filial piety of the three granddaughters. Only the eldest lady saw a little disapproving look.

After the dedication, there were some singing, dancing, drama and juggling performances, and there was no need to say much about the joy of the guests and hosts.

By the end of the birthday banquet, Heluo was already very tired, just because he couldn't leave halfway, so he had to sit there obediently, watching the song and dance performance, and finally waited until it was over, and was about to return to the courtyard to rest with the support of Mama Zhou. Unexpectedly, Master Pei actually sent a little servant, saying that the master asked the girl to come over.

He Luo looked at it, it was the usual little guy around Master Pei, so he didn't think much about it, so he followed, and when he arrived at Master Pei's study, he saw Master Pei, who was still slightly drunk at the banquet just now, was sitting at the desk very soberly at this time, and his face was still a little strict.

When Master Pei saw Heluo, he hurriedly asked him to sit down and said, "Daddy called you so late because he has something to tell you." After speaking, he paused and hesitated a little, as if the next words made the old man who had just finished his birthday banquet a little difficult to speak.

He Luo didn't seem to notice that Master Pei was uncomfortable, but just sat on the chair obediently and said, "Please show Daddy." ”

"Heluo, you are not young now, it should be time for the girl's family to say goodbye, Daddy wanted to find you an innocent and good family, so that you don't have to suffer if you marry in. It's just that you knew that your eldest sister entered the palace three years ago, but now your sister's condition in the palace is very bad, and my father hopes that someone will help her, and now the only suitable person in the family is you, are you willing. ”

When Heluo heard this, he timely revealed the horror and shyness that his daughter's family should have, but said softly: "Daddy's order, of course, the daughter should not refuse, but how can the daughter's knowledge and appearance get into the eyes of the nobles in the palace? ”

When Master Pei heard that Heluo agreed, his face suddenly relaxed, and he smiled: "Daddy knows that you are a good boy, these are not things you should worry about, since you have agreed, Daddy will definitely do the rest for you, besides, there is your eldest sister in the palace, you don't have to be too afraid, you just have to ask her about anything, don't worry." ”。
