He had already sent someone to inform his second brother in advance of the birthday celebration of his old mother a few years ago, and it stands to reason that he should not be late. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He also heard that there have been some unpeaceful things on the road recently, but considering that the Hebei Province where the second brother works is not far from the capital, there should be no accidents. Therefore, no one was sent to pick it up. I hope nothing happens, or the old mother will blame herself.

Besides, Mei Junjie and his party hurried to the door, and they saw two carriages parked at the door.

One of the slightly gorgeous carriages was lifting the curtain at this time, and a beautiful and dignified woman of thirty-two or thirteen years old was stepping off the carriage with the support of the maid, she was the second lady of Meifu, the queen of the side branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, Wen Jing. Behind her, a handsome face that was extremely similar to Mei Yunchen, with a face like a crown of jade, gentle and elegant, was Mei Yunchen's brother Mei Yunkai.

After Mei Yunkai, Mei Yunkai's eldest son's second and seventeen-year-old second young master Mei Shaojie, the fourth and seventeen-year-old fourth young lady Mei Bixuan in the eldest daughter's mansion, Mei Ruxuan, the fifth and six-year-old fifth miss in the concubine's mansion, and the fourth and eight-year-old fourth young master Mei Ruijie in the concubine's mansion also showed their faces one after another.

On the second carriage sat Mei Yunkai's two aunts, Aunt Gui and Aunt Zhou. In addition to them, there were also several maids, mothers-in-law, and servants sitting in the carriage.

Mei Junjie hurriedly took his daughter-in-law and younger siblings forward, bowed and saluted: "The second uncle and second aunt have worked hard all the way, and the nephew is late to greet me, please forgive the second uncle and second aunt." ”

Wen Yirong also stepped forward respectfully and said, "Second uncle, second aunt, brothers and sisters, hurry up and rest at home for a while, today is my grandmother's birthday, there are many guests, and I will be busy for a while." ”

Wang Wenjing looked at the endless stream of guests at the door, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, but she said in her mouth: "It's hard work big brother and sister-in-law, and it's hard for nephews, nieces and daughters-in-law, nephews, and nieces to pick us up at the door, but this is not ours." Mother's birthday, should have arrived early. Alas, if we hadn't encountered something on the road・・・・・・ alas, we would have arrived a long time ago. ”

Mei Yunkai also walked over and patted Mei Junjie's shoulder, although his body was the color of wind and dust, his face was full of joy. He didn't say anything, but said briefly to the children behind him, "Come and see the ceremony, and then come with me to your grandmother." ”

So, Mei Shaojie, Mei Bixuan, Mei Ruxuan, Mei Ruijie and Mei Junjie greeted each other one by one, and then everyone walked towards the mansion.

Entering the house, there was immediately a rough mother-in-law to prepare a few green soft sedan chairs carried by two people, and everyone got on the sedan chairs. The people who carry the sedan chair are all thick women with big shoulders and round waists, and they lift the sedan chair without much effort.

The group walked for about two pillars of incense before arriving at the Tingxue Hall where the old lady was.

Tingxue Hall is located in the middle of the Mei Mansion, and it is also the closest to the banquet site.

Tingxue Hall is a spacious courtyard with six main rooms, in which the east and west wings, the ear room, the inverted seat room, the firewood room, the kitchen, the toilet, etc., are all equipped, and the maid is also the most clever, the most calm, and the most sensible.

Before the group entered the courtyard, the housekeeper Mama Gu, who had already received the news, took the big girl Xia Rong and the little maid to the door, and when they saw the group coming, they respectfully bent down and saluted the masters.

"The slave and maid greet the second master, the second lady, the young masters, the young grandmothers, and the young ladies and misses! The old lady has been waiting for a long time, please come with the slaves. ”

"Mama Gu has worked hard!" The second lady, Wang Wenjing, came to Mama Gu affectionately and personally helped her up, with a very close smile on her face.

The housekeeper in front of the old lady, Wang Wenjing knew that she must not be offended, so giving respect in a timely manner is the greatest dignity as a slave.

Sure enough, the polite smile on Mama Gu's face became much more sincere, and she led all the masters into the Tingxue Hall.

Mei Yixuan endured the taste of heart-wrenching and itching in her body, and followed everyone into the lobby of Tingxue Hall with a normal face, which is where the old lady usually entertains guests.

The old lady sat on a Taishi chair in the middle of the lobby, wearing a crow-blue Shu brocade skirt, looking luxurious and dignified. The hair is neatly combed, and a begonia dripping jade hairpin is inserted on it. The whole body is neat, simple and low-key, and he is not overly ostentatious because of his birthday.

The old lady's eyebrows were kind, and when she saw her youngest son's family, her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"My son・・・・・・ but I've worked hard for you, and the journey went well, right?" The old lady knew that her youngest son was late, but she didn't say a word, and just stared at Mei Yunkai.

"Mother, the child is too late for filial piety, please atone for her sins!" As soon as Mei Yunkai saw his mother, he couldn't help but feel a wave of admiration in his heart, and he knelt on the ground with his head on the ground, choking up.

As soon as he knelt, everyone in the room knelt down, the masters all knelt, and the minions couldn't stand, and for a while the masters and minions knelt in a room.

The old lady felt the hard work of her youngest son away from Beijing, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Mama Gu hurriedly persuaded: "Old lady, the second master has just entered the door and has not rested, but he can't stop crying like this." Besides, today is your big day, and you can't shed tears. ”

When the old lady heard that it was reasonable, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Well, what you said is reasonable. Kai'er, hurry up, Mama Gu, quickly pick up the second master and them. Xia Rong, you take the second master and them to Qiushui Pavilion to rest for a while, and come out to entertain the guests in a while. ”

The eldest girl, Xia Rong, hurriedly agreed, and took the second master's family who stood up to the original house of their second room in Qiushui Pavilion.

When Mei Yixuan stood up, she felt dizzy and dizzy, and she knew that this was the effect of the medicine.

All this time, she did not take any drugs, and was supported by her strong willpower. However, there is a limit to the functions of people's bodies, and now that her body has reached its limit, if she doesn't take the antidote, she may be ugly at any time.

Therefore, after the second master's family retired, Mei Yixuan pretended to be affectionate and took Mei Yingxuan's arm, forcibly pulled her out of the courtyard of Tingxue Hall, and turned into a small remote garden on the west side.

Mei Yingxuan involuntarily followed Mei Yixuan to the garden, the reason why she didn't resist was because she was also curious why Mei Yixuan, who had drunk the medicine, was fine. is also because Mei Yixuan has never resisted, and always accepts her various difficulties and frame-ups obediently, so she also has no fear and follows without any guilt at all.

At this moment, she saw Mei Yixuan's face flushed and drunk, and she couldn't help but laugh coquettishly: "Giggle・・・・・・ I thought you were so capable, you were able to escape a catastrophe, it turned out that you really drank medicine! Giggle・・・・・・"

"So, you really ordered this medicine?" Mei Yixuan grabbed Mei Yingxuan's shoulders tightly, and his hands couldn't help but increase his strength, and asked in a cold voice.

"So what? I just want to see how you were ruined, and see how your beautiful face can still confuse people? Who told you to occupy the position that should have been mine? Hmph, the eldest lady of the Mei family should be me, and you are also worthy?" Mei Yingxuan looked at Mei Yixuan's beautiful appearance with envy on her face, and said hatefully.
