On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Gu Yanling's birthday came as scheduled. Originally, according to the habit of the nobles in Beijing, most of the www.biquge.info were to invite the daughters in the circle who were intimate or comfortable, or who were generally friends, to enter the house.

But seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, each family has its own busy, and the most important thing is that some time ago, the second wife of the Dingguo Mansion had just disappeared, and the second old man had broken a pair of legs, so it was reasonable that this birthday banquet should not be ostentatious.

Gu Yanling's temperament was originally very quiet, so when Mrs. Fu came forward to say Gu Zhengde's meaning, Gu Yanling responded almost without thinking, and Mrs. Fu, who was still a little invisible, saw that the girl was so neat, and naturally breathed a sigh of relief, in the end, she owed a lot to this granddaughter for many things this year.

When Gu Zhengde heard about this, although he didn't say anything, his eyes still melted a little praise.

Although this birthday banquet did not invite others, only closed the door to make a fuss, whether it was with Gu Yanling, or with the Gu family, the Xie family, or sent Gu Yanling's birthday gift in advance, Xie directly let people carry them to the Liuli Courtyard and into Gu Yanling's warehouse.

In the early morning of the birthday banquet, before dawn, Gu Yanling was awakened and bathed by Libi, and put on an autumn-colored short jacket with a pipa sleeve, the short jacket is embroidered with red silk embroidered by Lu and colorful finch patterns, with red dark flower silk as the base, embroidered with dozens of colors of clothing thread and twisted gold and silver thread, the color is delicate but not glamorous, and then with a red dark silk pile of silk and gold embroidered with a horse face skirt with hibiscus pleats, the girl is delicate and beautiful, like a night pearl with a glowing cold light, almost people can't take their eyes off.

Mrs. Hui lightly pulled a hundred flowers for Gu Yanling, with a set of delicate and small silver gilt inlaid agate head in her hair, and a pair of beeswax Fu word earrings in her ears, and then took out a blue and white glaze red melon fruit pattern rouge box from the dressing table, gently opened the rouge, carefully pounced on the girl's cheeks, and decorated the girl's eyebrows with plum blossoms made of golden butterfly wings, which made the girl's originally slightly cold face suddenly become much more lively.

When Gu Yanling went to Ningde Courtyard, the people in each room were all together, and they were repeatedly courteous by the elders and sisters, and then the banquet was officially opened.

Gu Yanling sat at the table with Gu Yanchao and Gu Yanlan and Mrs. Fu, and the concubines naturally sat down with the aunts. Originally, according to the etiquette, the aunt should stand aside to accompany the girls, but because Xie and Mrs. Fu mentioned a few words, it was a festive day, and finally agreed to sit down with the aunts.

Naturally, the aunts also secretly accepted Xie's love.

Gu Yanling looked at the March sitting in the middle, her eyes fell on her smiling and gentle face, and the corners of her lips were almost imperceptible, indeed, she was a capable woman.

As if sensing it, March slightly tilted his head to meet Gu Yanling's seemingly absent eyes, and then smiled respectfully and politely, Gu Yanling naturally smiled back.

Since giving birth to the first son of Sanfang in March, she has been promoted from a nameless girl to an aunt. In the face of such a healthy grandson, Mrs. Fu, who was still in the past, finally let go of the mustard, and March, like in her previous life, was very good at being a person, so not to mention the third room, it was the subordinates of the entire Dingguo Mansion who praised her, and even rose to the point of respect.

Some people serve the public by virtue of their status, while others are able to serve the public by their own conduct.

In March, it was clearly the latter.

Now that the third room has sent away the Qin family, all the affairs of the three rooms have gradually transferred to the hands of the new aunt in March.

Because of her intelligence, she gradually won the love of Mrs. Fu, and such a change was acquiesced.

Now looking at the aunt in the fourth room, there is only one March that can be in charge of the affairs of the first room.

At the beginning, she made an agreement with March, and March not only fulfilled it, but even exceeded it.

……

When the family banquet was used up, there was a show in the mansion again, Gu Yanling was originally impatient to see this, but he didn't expect to see half of it, Princess Ruyi and the county lord of Qiyang in the palace were actually escorted to the mansion by Han Chun, the chief eunuch in the palace of Cheng Guifei, and invited her to go to the eldest princess of Huaichang to have fun in the villa on the outskirts of Beijing, and congratulate her.

First, Ruyi and Qiyang deliberately went out of the palace to celebrate their birthday, although Gu Yanling didn't like to join in the fun, but in the end it was not easy to refuse, and secondly, according to Mrs. Fu's intentions, she should be more than Ruyi and Qiyang friends.

Although Han Chun accompanied a group of plainclothes inner eunuchs, Mrs. Fu was still not at ease, so she asked Gu Zihan to accompany their daughters out of the house.

Gu Yanling thought that there were so many people watching, and she didn't worry so much, so she naturally agreed.

Only Gu Yanchao never wanted to join in the fun together, which was completely opposite to his previous behavior, but in the end, under the persuasion of Mrs. Fu and the invitation of Gu Yanling, Gu Yanchao finally followed.

Leaving a group of concubines alone, although she wanted to follow out of the house, Mrs. Fu was worried that the concubines and concubines did not understand etiquette, and collided with the two daughters of the heavenly family, but they did not respond.

In this way, everyone came to the garden of the eldest princess of Huaichang, and the style of the heavenly family in general, this garden naturally covers a vast area, the appearance is atmospheric, the inside is exquisite, not only there are all kinds of precious flower and color tree species, but also a lot of lotus pond to raise several cranes, because of the hot spring water, so the mist is shrouded, the lotus is in full bloom, the crane posture is elegant, slightly neck-leading, Qingli cries, sometimes straighten out the feathers, spread their wings and fly to the rockery, just like a fairyland.

This banquet is placed next to this hot spring lotus pond, so it is warm like spring, everyone changed the stage after the feast, although it is a tactful southern Kunqu opera, but Gu Yanling, who has always only liked shadow puppetry, only sat in the first half, and couldn't help but quietly leave the scene when everyone was very interested.

When she retreated outside the theater, she thoughtfully covered her with a big red feather crepe cloak and tied it carefully.

At this time, the moonlight is just right, the moonlight that is as pure as silver is lightly sprinkled, spread on the entire lotus pond, it is obviously winter, the lotus flowers in this lotus pond are actually blooming all over, making people feel suddenly like spring. Occasionally, cranes lightly cross the surface of the pond and soar up, pulling up layers of ripples and shimmering waves.

Gu Yanling leaned on the railing and closed his eyes slightly, feeling the rare tranquility and comfort at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, a wisp of clear and leisurely piano sound suddenly sounded not far from the lotus pond, the girl opened her eyes slightly, accompanied by such a quiet moonlight, only felt that this wisp of piano sound seemed to be able to cleanse people's hearts, faintly dragging her to explore.

Slightly glanced sideways at the brightly lit, gorgeous and lively pavilion behind him, Gu Yanling finally turned around and walked down the stairs, Libi didn't ask much, only carefully held the umbrella for the girl, blocking the flying snow outside the umbrella.

With the silk lamp in Libi's hand, Gu Yanling walked down the pavilion with his cloak and walked along the lotus pond to the quiet woods next to him, until the sound of the piano was close to his ears, but it suddenly stopped.

Gu Yanling paused slightly, and when he was surprised, he saw a light not far away, and a plain white screen was placed under the warm lamp, behind which were four humanoid shadow puppets, and the familiar opera lyrics gradually sounded in his ears.

"I love the West Lake in March, the slanting wind and drizzle send the cruise ship. The 10th Xiu came to cross the same boat, and the apprentice Xiu came to sleep together......"

The figure of the girl under the moon was independent, although she hesitated for a moment, after all, with the light, she slowly walked towards it.

And the moment she took a step, she was surprised to find that she was in a pear blossom at the moment.

And the tip of the nose can faintly smell the faint cold fragrance of pear blossoms.

But in this wax moon, where did these pear blossoms come from?
