"Old lady, are you here? The younger generation has given you a salute, and the two younger siblings are so polite! I'm sorry to come so late, it really seems too rude. I'm going to punish myself with three cups later, no matter what the reason, I'm late for my mother's birthday banquet, it's unfilial, please ask the old lady of the in-laws and the two younger siblings to do a lot of Haihan. ”

"It's good to come," Old Madam Cui knew that the second lady was Mrs. Mei's favorite daughter-in-law, and said with a smile, "As an old man, as long as your children are safe, you can feel at ease." As for filial piety or not, it is secondary, and the old people will not be more serious. ”

The second lady ate a nail that was neither soft nor hard, but the smile on her face did not change in the slightest, and she still said a few decent words to Cui Jiayu with a smile.

There were many guests at the scene, and the eldest lady Cui Yurou saw that the second lady Wang Wenjing finally came, and she didn't delay any longer, and the two said goodbye to the daughter of the Cui family, and continued to circle among the guests, greeting each other one by one.

Not to mention, Mei Yixuan and her sisters are a few beautiful girls, following behind the eldest lady Cui Yurou and the second lady Wang Wenjing, they really know a lot of upper-class people in Kyoto.

The old lady of Li Dongwei, the important minister of the emperor of the dynasty and the first assistant of the cabinet, and the eldest daughter of the Xie family of Chen County, Xie Shengmin, and the granddaughters Li Danhua and Li Danyu also came.

Although the eldest lady Cui Yurou had already said hello before, she still didn't dare to slack off, and took the second lady to hurriedly step forward and greet you affectionately: "Old lady Xie, how are you old? If you are tired, go and sit down on the seat over there, do you know where it is?" ”

The second lady, Wang Wenjing, also knew Mrs. Xie, and said respectfully and enthusiastically: "Mrs. Xie, you can really make our Meifu Peng shine today! There are many people today, if you are too panicked, you can go to your seat and rest, you can't be tired on this occasion today!"

The reason why they say this is because today's seats have already been arranged, and the names of all the guests are clearly indicated on the desk, as long as they want to sit down, they can see the wooden plaque with their name placed on it, and they can sit down after the wooden table.

Old Madam Xie smiled and said, "Just feel free, don't be too polite." It's rare to be so lively, and it also makes my wife feel the lively atmosphere of Meifu. ”

The eldest lady Cui Yurou looked at the two girls beside Mrs. Xie and asked enthusiastically: "This is the young lady in the house, right? ”

The second lady Wang Wenjing also praised: "It's just that, it looks like a delicate person, just like the one painted in the painting, and the fairy can't compare to it." ”

Mrs. Xie smiled and took the opportunity to introduce: "Look at you praising them, they can't afford such praise." This is the eldest granddaughter Li Danhua, this is the second granddaughter Li Danyu, who is not as good as the ladies in the house, but she is finally smart, sensible and filial. ”

The eldest lady Cui Yurou hurriedly introduced the girls in her house one by one, and everyone greeted each other.

Mei Yixuan looked at Li Danhua and Li Danyu, and saw that although the two sisters did not look like a multi-national beauty, they had a dignified and elegant temperament. Especially Li Danhua, who has a bookish atmosphere on her body, at first glance she is a woman who is smart and knowledgeable.

Li Danhua seemed to know that Mei Yixuan was looking at her, raised his head and smiled at each other, but he was very convinced.

The eldest lady Cui Yurou and the second lady Wang Wenjing exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then continued to greet other ladies.

The first-class Korean family is the maiden family of the emperor's concubine Han Jingyao, the eldest prince born to the concubine, although he is not a concubine, but the power of the court should not be underestimated, and Mei Yunchen, the head of the Mei family, is a staunch supporter of the eldest prince Murong Lin. As a concubine, the maiden family naturally stood on the united front with the Mei family, and today's occasion is also very face-saving to come to cheer, and almost all the family members came.

Concubine Shu's sister-in-law, Mrs. Han Da, brought her daughter-in-law Han Mingxiu, daughter-in-law Mrs. Han Da Shao, and Mrs. Han Sanshao, and Mrs. Han Second with her daughter-in-law Han Yuxiu and daughter-in-law Han Second Young Lady all came to the birthday banquet scene in a high-profile manner, which naturally attracted the attention of other ladies of the family, and they all stepped forward to greet them warmly. Some family members with low-ranking official positions, because they are not at the same level, look at the ladies who greet them with envy, and feel lost.

The eldest lady Cui Yurou and the second lady Wang Wenjing also took Mei Yixuan and others to greet each other warmly, and the two sides tacitly agreed to say some irrelevant topics, and the girls of the two families naturally gathered together.

Mei Yixuan silently observed the two daughters of the Han family, and secretly compared with Miss Xie and Miss Cui in her heart. found that Han Mingxiu and Han Yuxiu were better than other ladies in appearance, and their temperament was more outstanding.

It is said that the concubine is beautiful and beautiful, and she is unique in the harem, and she has suppressed the harem concubines. For more than 20 years, he has been a prominent figure in the royal harem of the Tianyu Dynasty, and even the queen does not compete with him. It seems that the genetics of the Han family are good enough, which can be seen from the two Han family ladies.

The eldest lady Cui Yurou and the second lady Wang Wenjing did not stay long, bid farewell to the daughters of the Han family, and continued to greet the daughters of other families.

Along the way, the queen's maiden family, the first-class Cao Guogong Cao family, the first-class Su Yi Botong family, the first-class sincere Boyue family, the first-class loyal and brave Hou Fu family, and the first-class Yiyong Hou Wen family are also the maiden family of the grandmother of Meifu, and the daughters of the officials of the six ministries and ministries also came to congratulate her birthday.

Mei Yixuan secretly felt strange, the Mei family was only from the rank of a first-class product, and there were not many prominent official positions, how could there be so many people coming? Could it be that the Mei family's power was already so great that all the officials were stammered?

It's just that before she could think clearly, she saw Mei Yunchen coming over and whispering something to the eldest lady.

Mei Yingxuan said eagerly on the side: "Great, the birthday celebration has begun!" The smugness on his face was overflowing, and it was difficult for people to ignore it.

Mei Yixuan suddenly remembered that the birthday gift he had prepared hadn't been brought yet, so he hurriedly looked around. saw that Huixiang had already disappeared, and he didn't know where he went. For herself, a big girl, Mei Yixuan's patience has reached the limit. She now wishes that the birthday banquet would end as soon as possible, so that she could punish the slaves who betrayed the master and killed the master.

Fortunately, Mei Yixuan was looking for this, and at the entrance of the birthday banquet, she found that Mama Ye was looking at this side anxiously, staring straight at herself. Seeing Mei Yixuan coming over, he hurriedly waved her hand to hurry over.

Mei Yixuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over, feeling grateful.

It seems that Mama Ye did not betray herself, because it is strictly forbidden for irrelevant servants and maids to come here at this banquet, lest they recklessly bump into the guests. Mama Ye was able to risk being found and punished to give herself a birthday gift, and this loyalty was recorded by herself.

Mama Ye saw Mei Yixuan come out, and hurriedly whispered, "Miss, your birthday gift has fallen." Originally, Huixiang was supposed to bring it over, but who knew that this dead girl not only forgot to take the birthday gift, but also didn't know where she went, and she couldn't find it. Fortunately, the birthday gift is on the table, and the slave and maid hurriedly sent it over, didn't delay it?"

For the sake of prudence, Mei Yixuan opened the cloth bag in front of Mama Ye, checked it carefully, and was relieved to see that it was still the forehead embroidered by the original owner. After rewrapping it, Mei Yixuan put it in his sleeve.

She glanced at Mama Ye and said, "Mama Ye, gather all the minions in the courtyard when you go back, I have something to say when I go back in a while." ”

Mama Ye paused for a moment, and after she reacted, she was surprised for a while, and nodded again and again: "Hey, hey, the slave will go back and do what you instruct." These individuals should have been disciplined a long time ago, it's just too unreasonable!"

"Then it's hard Mama Ye. After Mei Yixuan finished speaking, he returned to the birthday banquet without looking back.
