It's been half a month, and this day Ri Lixia dressed up Ying Qi, and then said to Ying Qi, "Miss, it's estimated that we will discuss the birthday of the eldest lady today." At the beginning of next month, the eldest lady will be full. ”

"Hey, you're thirty, but my aunt looks very young. Ying Qi was a little surprised. When I went to meet my eldest aunt and second aunt, the two of them looked like ten years old. The women of this era are still very well maintained.

"Yes. Lixia nodded. "I guess the eldest lady must be happy to hear that Miss you praise her like this. Several people laughed.

"Let's go. So Ying Qi was in front, Xue Yun and Li Xia were behind, and walked towards the old lady's main courtyard.

Sure enough, after everyone met the old lady, Geffordhe was the first to talk about it.

"Ancestor, mother-in-law, this is a big birthday, you have to do it well, what do you think about it?"

"Well, that's for sure. The old lady nodded.

"Ancestor, it's not a big deal, why do you want to be so prosperous. The eldest lady Fucha was busy refusing.

"Mother-in-law, let's let our little filial piety honor you!" replied Geflothe.

"That's it, mother, you usually work so hard, but also change to rest and rest, and have a good birthday. Wu Ya Baobai also agreed, such an important day must be a big event.

"Well, don't shirk it, this must be a big deal, otherwise your mother won't blame me to death. The old lady smiled and said, "In this way, let Geffordhe handle it well, let Newren and the big girl help, the draft is coming soon, you have to pay more attention to the big girl's affairs, and say hello to the mother when the time comes, and you will always go out to take care of the housekeeper in the future, so you have to learn more now." ”

"Ancestor. As soon as the topic changed, it turned out to be about Wuya Baobai's marriage, and Wuya Baobai's face turned red.

"Yes, Ancestor. I'm already preparing. The eldest lady hurriedly said. For their family, the draft is a very important thing.

"Okay, let's not mention this for now, and take care of your birthday gift. You see what you like to eat, play, and what troupe you want to invite, tell the children, do it for you, and you usually work hard. The old lady laughed.

"Okay. The eldest lady agreed.

"Ancestor, shall we invite the best pear blossom class to sing? Last time I went to the Hou Mansion, they sang very well. Uyachase's eyes twinkled as she looked at the old lady.

"Yes, yes, of course. That troupe really sang well. I remember that there was a little student in it, what was it, and he sang very well. The old lady nodded.

"Ancestor, the Pear Blossom Class is indeed the most popular troupe in the capital now, the palace and the Hou Mansion often invite them, that Li Qingfeng does sing well, and Princess Gong has praised it. I'll make a reservation with them tomorrow in advance. Geffo stepped forward and replied to the old lady cryptically.

"It's so good that it can be lively again. Wu Ya Jieyu whispered to Ying Qi. "Sister Qi, you haven't participated in such a banquet yet, you will invite a lot of guests to come, and I will introduce a few good sisters to you at that time. ”

"Hmm. Ying Qi nodded, this kind of ceremonial banquet is for everyone to broaden their interpersonal network.

"Okay, after class this month, let the children all take a break and have a good time. The old lady's words made the children very happy. It was a surprise that I was able to rest.

As soon as the people had gone down, Geflothe began to prepare. The whole house seems to be lively.

The servants and slaves began to do a big cleaning, and all the antiques and novelty ornaments were removed from the warehouse, and all the halls were refurbished, and even the window screens and cushions were all replaced with Suzhou embroidery sent by Jiangnan.

Flowers were brought in from outside, and potted plants were replaced with the latest styles.

"Miss Qi, this is the master of Jinxiu Building, who specially came to measure your size. The old lady said that each young lady would make four sets of new clothes to wear at the birthday banquet. There are also silk just sent from Yangzhou, you can pick it. Yingchun personally brought a middle-aged woman and two maids in.

"Okay. Xueyun, you can help me see what kind of silk to choose. "Ying Qi is not very good at dressing, so let the professionals here choose. Xueyun has undergone elite training, and these are all small shrimps for her, but she is usually too lazy to move, and often asks Lixia to solve these life matters. But this will Lixia go to Wu Yajieyu's side.

Xueyun stepped forward and chose four pieces of silk, namely red, goose yellow, lake blue, and bamboo green, "Miss, your complexion is relatively white, and these colors are very suitable for your complexion." ”

Ying Qi agreed indifferently. Anyway, no matter what the color, the embroidery master can make beautiful clothes.

On the second day, Ying Qi was chatting with Wu Yajieyu in Biqiang Garden, and the second-class maid Shu'er next to the old lady came over with a box.

"I've seen Miss Er, I've seen Miss Table. Shu'er saluted.

Both nodded. "Niangniang specially sent two sets of red gold noodles to each young lady, and the old lady ordered me to send them to the second young lady. Miss Cousin sent it over to Yin'er. ”

When the two heard this, they hurriedly stood up.

"Thank you, mother. "Naturally, Concubine De sent someone to reward it, and it was also to prepare for this birthday celebration.

Ying Qi chatted for a few more words, and then said goodbye and returned.

After returning to the courtyard, sure enough, Yin'er was still waiting for her, in addition to the two sets of head noodles rewarded by Concubine De, the old lady also sent a set of East Pearl Head Noodles and a set of South China Sea Pearl Head Noodles from the treasury. In addition, a bag of golden melon seeds was sent to her as a reward for the next generation.

"Miss. "On this day, the snow clouds hurried back from outside. Xueyun usually stays by Ying Qi's side, but occasionally when she disappears, Ying Qi doesn't care about her.

"What's the matter?" Ying Qi was doing embroidery, after all, she still had to prepare gifts.

"Young Master Xiaobao said that he would fight for it. Xueyun was a little excited.

"Isn't it?" Ying Qi was taken aback.

"Really. Ying Qi didn't understand how difficult it was for Xiaobao to come over, but Xue Yun was very clear. After all, the Wuya family is not the most noble family, and it is not worthy of Xiao Baoxuan's condescension.

"I miss him so much. I also want to be a big treasure. If the two brothers came together, it would be lively. When Xue Yun heard this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, if he wanted Young Master Dabao to come over, it would be too difficult.

"I have no relatives in the capital, and I don't know anyone, so it would be nice to see them. Ying Qi thought of the two men with very different personalities, and she urgently needed to build a good relationship between the two brothers now. The future emperor and the prince, if the relationship is good, it will be relied on for life!

Xueyun shrugged and didn't answer her words, this was not something that her little slave could interject.

"But it's good that Xiaobao can come. But can I see him? Isn't the outer court separated from the inner court?"

"Miss, there's always an opportunity. Soon the young masters of all families will come to celebrate the birthday of the eldest lady in person. Moreover, this kind of court seat is generally an opportunity for unmarried men and women from various families to see each other. Xue Yun pointed again.

"In other words, do all the ladies of the family default to let everyone meet?" Ying Qi was a little surprised, it turned out that she was not so rigid.

"Yes. Xueyun nodded.

So both of them have a little more expectation, for Yingqi, it is indeed a joyful thing to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country.
