Lin Wan, Zhao Zhengxiang and Zhao Fengwen came out of the study, and it was already late. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the door, the eldest girl Huan Caijuan beside Wang Xinlian had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the three people coming out, she hurriedly greeted her, bowed her knees, and said: "The old lady, the second master, Miss Cousin, the old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady are waiting in the dining room, and let the slave maid come and invite you to the dining room for dinner." ”

Zhao Zhengxiang turned his head to look at Wan'er, and said distressedly: "Wan'er, you haven't eaten so late, you must be hungry, right?"

Lin Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Wan'er doesn't feel hungry at all, and she just remembered that she didn't have dinner at this time." However, when I thought that I would be able to eat the dishes cooked by Granny Fang immediately, I couldn't wait. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang laughed, took Lin Wan's hand, and strode towards the dining room.

In the dining room, Wang Xinlian, Ma Huaiyu, Xing Xirong, Zhao Mingjin, Tong Xinyan, Zhao Mingxi, Zhao Mingyi, and Zhao Jinger sat in turn. The food on the table was still steaming, apparently hot again.

When everyone saw Zhao Zhengxiang, Zhao Fengwen and Lin Wan coming in, their faces couldn't help but show joy.

Zhao Zhengxiang walked to the main seat next to Wang Xinlian and sat down, Zhao Fengwen sat next to Zhao Zhengxiang, and Lin Wan walked to Zhao Jing'er and sat down.

Everyone arrived, and everyone didn't say anything more, and when Zhao Zhengxiang raised his chopsticks, the meal was officially opened.

Zhao Jing'er was very quiet today, and kept her head down to eat. Occasionally, I made a look at Lin Wan and whispered a few words.

After the meal, the family still sat in the main hall and drank tea. Zhao Jing'er glanced at Zhao Mingxi, leaned into Lin Wan's ear, and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, do you know? Mrs. Ma has already brought Sister Yuefen and Sister Yuehua to the capital, saying that the Queen Mother ordered them to come. ”

Lin Wan frowned and asked suspiciously, "How could the Queen Mother think of them?"

Zhao Jing'er shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Lin Wan. Lin Wan followed her gaze and looked at Ma Huaiyu, only to see that Ma Huaiyu should also be frowning, worried.

Wang Xinlian beckoned to Lin Wan and asked her to sit beside her.

Lin Wan smiled slightly, got up and walked over happily, sat down beside Wang Xinlian, held Wang Xinlian's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandma, do you know?

Wang Xinlian patted Lin Wan's hand and smiled dotingly: "It's not thanks to you that you brought so many distinguished guests, so that the Golden Needle Embroidery Workshop earned enough face and a lot of silver." Xinyan said that today is about to earn back all the expenses of the previous month. ”

Lin Wan was also very happy, turned her head to look at Tong Xinyan, and said with a smile: "Sister Tong, you are out of the limelight today, and the name of the Golden Needle Embroidery Workshop will definitely spread throughout the capital on the day, and there will be no need to worry about business in the future." Moreover, with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess supporting you, no one will dare to come to the golden needle embroidery workshop to make trouble in the future. ”

Tong Xinyan smiled and said: "It's all Wan'er's big face, and arrangements have been made in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for so many guests to have such a good impression of the Golden Needle Embroidery Workshop today." It's just that we didn't expect Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to come, and we didn't prepare any return gifts for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

Lin Wan smiled slyly and said, "Sister Tong, isn't it easy to thank Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? When you are ready to give a return gift to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I will accompany you to personally send it to the eldest princess's mansion, and the master will be very happy to see it." ”

Tong Xinyan nodded, hesitated a little, and said embarrassedly: "But, what should I embroider for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? If it is too ordinary, it will definitely not be able to enter the eyes of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

Lin Wan thought for a while and said, "Another day, I will ask the eldest princess's mansion to send you a painting, and if you embroider that painting and give it to the master, the master will be very happy." ”

Tong Xinyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Great, so I don't have to worry about it." However, if the painting was painted by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I am afraid that it is too profound, and I can't embroider its essence. ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Sister Tong, don't be modest anymore, the master said, she knows from looking at your embroidery that your painting skills are as good as your embroidery skills." I have faith in you, and you will. ”

Tong Xinyan smiled, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Okay, I will do my best." ”

Lin Wan turned to Ma Huaiyu again, and asked suspiciously, "Auntie, are you unhappy?"

Ma Huaiyu frowned and pondered, and when he heard Lin Wan's question, he looked over, shook his head slowly, and said: "Wan'er misunderstood, the eldest aunt is not unhappy, the golden needle embroidery workshop can have such a good start, I am too late to be happy, how can I be unhappy? I just have another question in my heart, I can't figure it out, and I'm just a little worried." ”

Lin Wan was stunned, frowned and asked, "What's the matter with the eldest aunt, you might as well tell it and listen to it, maybe we can get the answer if we think about it together?"

Ma Huaiyu nodded and said thoughtfully: "I originally planned to send a letter back to my hometown in Shandong according to everyone's suggestion, and let my sister-in-law bring my two nieces to the capital to play." However, before I could send the letter, I received a message from my mother's family. It is said that more than a month ago, the Ma family has received an invitation to the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, and more than half a month ago, my sister-in-law has already brought her two nieces to the capital, and it should arrive in a few days. What I can't figure out is why the daughter of the Ma family was invited to the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager? So many famous and noble women in the capital have not yet received the invitation, why would they go all the way and let the head of the Ma family bring the daughter of the Ma family to the capital for the banquet?"

Lin Wan couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and thought secretly. Lu Qishan asked Mrs. Ma to bring her daughter-in-law, obviously going to Ma Yuefen. However, although Ma Yuefen is talented and beautiful, she may not be able to enter Lu Qishan's eyes. Lin Wan hadn't heard that Lu Qishan had invited a lady from a family outside the capital, why did she attach so much importance to Ma Yuefen?

Wang Xinlian also frowned and pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke: "The Ma family is also a famous family in Shandong, and its reputation in Shandong is very high, so it is not surprising if the Queen Mother falls in love with the daughter of the Ma family." It's just that I don't know which son and brother in the capital does the Queen Mother want to marry the daughter of the Ma family?"

Lin Wan couldn't think of what Lu Qishan was thinking for a while, although the Ma family is a big family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, but in recent decades, there have been no big officials, and they have long faded out of the political stage. If Lu Qishan wanted to attack the Ma family, then he must also come to General Zhao's mansion.
