As the maiden family of Concubine Lian, the old lady's principle is to maintain general contacts with the nobles of the family, and not to get too close. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info especially before Qin Yongzhou's death, although the hostess of the Qin Mansion was the Xu family, the big things were basically in the hands of the old lady, and the contacts with the powerful stewards in Beijing had been operating according to the pace of the old lady.

Such as today's son to filial piety to rule the world, the people are attached to the whole life, such as the old lady, last year's 60th birthday is naturally a good life to do a job, this year is not the whole life, plus the old lady's insistence, did not write a post to people other than relatives, so only relatives to visit.

The old lady's family has long since declined, there are not many relatives, and there are few people in the capital.

The three daughters-in-law all have maiden families.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Xu's mother's family, is the most prosperous, and today it is her sister-in-law Mao.

The second daughter-in-law, Zou's mother's father, is a petty official, and today it is her mother, Luo.

The third daughter-in-law, Long's maiden family is in the south, Long's is the only daughter, and when her father was alive, she was the prefect, the pearl of the official family, beautiful as a flower, and a weak willow to support the wind. Qin Yongzhou fell in love at first sight when he saw the Long family when he was a young student, and the old lady loved her and asked to marry the daughter of the Long family. Long's mother had already died, and after the death of Qin Yongzhou and his wife, Long's old father couldn't stand the blow and died not long after. As a result, Qin Shuying didn't even have a maternal uncle.

The eldest young master has already married, and although the eldest young grandmother's family is not in the capital, she also sent someone to congratulate her.

In addition, a few young masters and young ladies who had made a marriage naturally came. For example, Qin Shuying has already been engaged, and someone from the Liu family has come.

As for Concubine Lian, the eldest young master, the second master, and even the sixth prince, etc., naturally sent people to give generous gifts.

The sixth prince has already opened his teeth to build a mansion, and he usually comes to the Qin Mansion in person, but now he has taken an errand and went to other places, and he is not in the capital.

Therefore, today's birthday banquet is also simple, and the door is closed to their own family.

The guest of honor laughed, Mao looked at the void, and brought it up: "Old lady, look, the ladies are smarter than the other, one is more filial than the other, you have a big birthday today, presumably they are also prepared with their hearts, why not take it out for everyone to see, so that we can open our eyes?" I can go back and let my monkey learn a little bit and see what the real ladies are like. ”

The Mao family has a daughter named Xu Peiwei, who is also fourteen years old, and she was close to Qin Yunyun in the past, but she didn't come today.

It was always the case that the ladies would look at the gifts given by the ladies. The old lady smiled and said a few words modestly, and then told the parsley and toon to take out the gifts of the young ladies.

Qin Shuying's eyes were shy, but his heart was thinking. Mao's Pingsu and Xu's are close, and when it comes to this matter today, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

First is Qin Lulu, and her are Yu Ruyi and the Queen Mother to make a longevity picture. Jade Ruyi was bought, but the advantage is that the craftsmanship is fine, and the jadeite texture is mellow, which is also quite rare.

After that, what came out was Qin Yunyun's hand-embroidered Baishou Tu Shou Ping, a total of four, together is a four-fan screen, the frame is made of mica, crystal, glass and other materials, in the inlay process, ivory, jade, jade, gold and silver and other valuables are used, both rich and leisurely charm.

Especially Qin Yunyun's embroidery skills, it is really a one-in-a-hundred technique, and it took a lot of time to look at this screen.

However, Qin Yunyun has a sister of Concubine Lian, who is naturally also smart, and she has long been famous, and today's performance is expected by everyone.

Baishoutu won everyone's praise, and Qin Shuying's face was full of shock when he saw this screen, followed by a long daze, and he didn't seem to be able to react.

Mrs. Liu looked a little disappointed, because of this screen, she naturally knew that the pretty and dignified girl she had been very fond of just now was not her daughter-in-law. Especially when I saw that among the remaining two young ladies, there was a beautiful and beautiful girl who was actually stunned, and her brows were furrowed.

Xu raised his eyebrows quietly. Although Liu Gongshan's official position is not high, and he is not in the capital, he is better than holding real power.

The Liu family had to be wooed, but not Qin Shuying.

When Qin Shuying had just returned from the south, the Xu family felt that it was good to use Qin Shuying to win over the Liu family, and she was supple and obedient.

But then she knew that Qin Shuying actually had so much silver money in her hand, her mentality changed, Qin Shuying had to die, and these silver coins had to go into her own hands.

This satisfaction only needs to be passed once, and you want a second time. The first time, when Aunt Zhou's maiden family withered, the silver money she got from the Zhou family was more than 20,000 taels. The more than 20,000 taels helped Concubine Lian many years ago survive a crisis in the palace.

Qin Yongtao was very clear about the Xu family's idea of wanting Qin Shuying's silver money, and he had no objections, in his eyes, what did a little yellow-haired girl want so much money for. But he didn't instruct the Xu family to ask for Qin Shuying's life, after all, this was his own brother's daughter.

Besides, in fact, no one believes Xu's fatal actions, after all, they are giving supplements to their nephews, not poisons.

At this time, Xiangqin signed up, and Mrs. Liu knew that the stupid girl was her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Liu's fingers slowly tightened, and a hint of clarity and complexity flashed in her eyes.

Parsley and toon slowly unfolded a scroll of pictures of Qin Shuying's birthday, and just unfolded a corner, everyone had lost interest, it was nothing more than a birthday greeting picture.

After unfolding it, everyone was surprised, isn't this exactly the same as Qin Yunyun's embroidery picture just now? It's just that one is embroidery and the other is painting.

Suddenly, Mao's sharp eyes found that the payment was actually "Yun", and he couldn't help but scream, and said: "Shuying, you girl, the old lady loves you so much, how can you fool the old lady with your sixth sister's painting?" ”

After that, he seemed to be embarrassed to speak directly to his heart, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, look at my mouth, this mouth is really underbeaten, this painting looks like a sample of the six girls' embroidered screens, and the seven girls took it wrong." ”

Don't say this, as soon as you say it, everyone's eyes are focused on Qin Shuying, and it is clearly written that "where is the wrong one, it must be lazy and unfilial" - the gifts are all prepared separately, and they are sent by the big girl next to them in person, where can I get the wrong one?

Xu Shi hurriedly came out to play the round: "The seventh girl has always been sick, Yun Yatou cherishes her, and it is often helpful to help." The old lady is kind and generous, and seeing their deep sisterhood, she must be tolerant of the seven girls. It's just that, seven girls, if you take one other, it's not very good-looking after all. ”

Qin Shuying lowered her eyes in front of everyone, as if she was thinking about something.

Xu's smile became softer and softer, took Qin Shuying's hand, and said: "Good boy, although you have done something wrong, the old lady will not blame you for feeling sorry, but you yourself must know your mistakes, admit your mistakes to the old lady, kowtow, how can the old lady be willing to punish you?" ”

Qin Shuying slowly raised her head and looked at the old lady, who had a thoughtful expression on her originally beaming face.

Qin Shuying smiled slightly, her eyes sparkled, and said to Xiangqin: "Sister Xiangqin, I have to trouble you to call my maid Luye in." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and Xiangqin glanced at the old lady, but seeing that the old lady was not angry, she went out to call the green leaves.

Mao said: "Seven girls, even if you do something wrong, you shouldn't ask the maid to suffer on your behalf!" What do you say, you kid? ”

Xu Shi looked very "embarrassed" and said to everyone: "It's because I didn't raise the seven girls well, which makes everyone laugh." ”

The old lady didn't speak, but she didn't have the anger that Mao and Xu expected.

Mrs. Liu's eyelids drooped slightly: How can such a woman be worthy of her son?
