Chapter 121: Look at each other

Just after the hour, people celebrating their birthdays came one after another. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info arrived, the sedan car in front of the Zhao Mansion had already lined up in a long line. Because the saint is coming, the main hall is specially opened, and the first thing you can see when you enter the door is the huge word "longevity" hanging in the middle of the hall.

The house was dressed in red and hung with colors, and the people who came out and went in were also dressed up, and there was a sense of joy everywhere.

Mrs. Zhao was also dressed up very energetically today, wearing a purple and gold satin dress with a pattern of five bats holding longevity flowers and birds, wearing a wig, and a complete set of gold and jade jewelry for Fushou Touer on her head. He was in good health, and he was in good health, and he had a red face and bright eyes, and he did not look like an eighty-year-old man at all.

When Mulan and Mrs. An arrived, there were already a lot of people sitting in the hall. Surrounded Mrs. Zhao and said some auspicious words of congratulations, and the room was full of laughter.

After seeing each other and offering a set of greetings, Mrs. An sent a jade screen for Magu's birthday, and Mulan also hurriedly brought out the birthday gift she had prepared.

A mother-in-law stepped forward to take the box, opened it and presented it to Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao's eyes were not good, she only saw a pair of wipes on her forehead, and habitually praised a few words, so she called Mulan to her and took her hand to look at it carefully.

"Earlier, I heard that the appearance of the girl of the Xie family is similar to that of the Duke of Xie Guo, I was still worried, thinking that a little girl's family is not born with five big and three thick, right? Look at this little watery appearance, isn't it more handsome than your grandmother was when she was young?"

The words that others were talking about behind their backs came out of the mouth of this old birthday star, and the offense became all funny. In the last sentence, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Xie family were praised together. The room full of people laughed, and a few people who were familiar with Mrs. An couldn't help but make a few jokes.

Mrs. An followed with a smile: "I can't even remember what I looked like when I was young." Just for the memory of the old lady, we have to prepare a birthday gift. ”

Mrs. Zhao snorted, patted Mulan's hand and said, "Look, look, my eighty birthday is not over yet, and your grandmother is distressed that the future birthday gift is coming." ”

Mulan heard Zhao Chonghua say that her great-grandmother loved to joke the most, and now it seems that it is really true. She didn't think she was a humorous person, but after staying on the island for many years, she still had some experience in coaxing the elders to be happy, so she smiled and picked up the conversation, "Old lady, where is my grandmother distressed about the birthday gift, is she distressed for you."

The 80th birthday is such a grand occasion, and when it comes to the 90th birthday and the 100th birthday, I don't know how many people will come to admire your blessed name, and then you will receive hand cramps just by receiving gifts. ”

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed when she heard this, "Listen, listen, this little mouth is so good at talking." Ouch, you're still 100 years old, you and I belong to the turtle, can you live for 1,800 years?"

Which one of you here is not knowledgeable and interesting, the left sentence "The old lady is as blessed as the East China Sea", and the right sentence "The old lady is better than Nanshan", which amused the old birthday star. Taking advantage of the joy, he gave Mulan a Jin Chu'er as a meeting gift.

After laughing for a while, there was a report outside, saying that Princess Chengxuan and the county lord of Xianghe had arrived, and everyone was busy getting up to greet each other.

Xue Hui took a fancy to Zhao Chonghua's second brother, and she had already taken the Zhao family as an in-law in her heart, and the congratulatory gift she gave was particularly valuable. The pearls are all thumb-sized southern pearls, round and smooth, which were given by the emperor on her thirtieth birthday.

Mrs. Zhao was flattered, thanked Xue Hui, and knelt down to worship the first emperor.

Yan Jingluo sent a pair of hand-made longevity pillows, which was praised by Mrs. Zhao. She has obviously dressed up carefully today, with her hair and clothes, a smile and a smile, showing her quiet and elegant side everywhere.

Mulan guessed that this should be dressed according to the meaning of Princess Cheng Xuan. The adults of the two families have already passed the breath, and the reason why they haven't made up their minds is just because Yan Jingluo and Zhao Chonghua's second brother haven't seen each other yet. Isn't today's birthday banquet a great opportunity to see each other?

Seeing that Yan Jingluo didn't look shy in the face of the Zhao family, she must not have known about it. Princess Cheng Xuan is afraid that she doesn't know that her daughter has someone hidden in her heart, and she is confident about this family business, which can be felt from the congratulatory gift she gave to Mrs. Zhao.

The problem often lies in the last trembling, and I hope something doesn't go wrong.

was secretly sighing, and saw Yan Jingluo and Zhao Chonghua walking towards this side together, busy gathering their minds and greeting the two.

"It's still early to leave the table, let's go to the garden. Zhao Chonghua's buttocks were next to the chair, and he said happily, "The lotus flowers in our lotus pond have bloomed early, I'll take you to take a look." ”

Yan Jingluo covered her mouth and smiled, "Aren't you going to help Madam Zhao entertain guests?"

"There are so many people in the family, where can they use me?" Zhao Chonghua grabbed one in one hand and urged repeatedly, "Let's go, what's the point of sitting here?" Let's come back when it's time to eat." ”

Mulan and Yan Jingluo couldn't resist her, they each greeted the elders in the family, and left with her.

After walking out of the flower hall for a while, Mulan felt that something was wrong. While Yan Jingluo was concentrating on admiring a phoenix tail orchid, she pulled Zhao Chonghua aside, "Say, what the hell are you doing?"

"What the hell am I doing?" Zhao Chonghua blinked innocently.

Mulan patted her head lightly, "You don't pretend to be confused with me, don't you think I can't see it, what you took us around deliberately is not as simple as looking at lotus flowers."

Tell me honestly, what secret did you have when you brought us out?"

Zhao Chonghua couldn't hide it anymore, and hurriedly raised his fingers, "Shhh, you whisper, don't let the county lord of Xianghe hear." ”

"Tell me, what's going on?" asked Mulan in a low voice.

"You're shrewd. Zhao Chonghua muttered, hooked his finger at her, and when she came over, he told her one by one.

As Mulan guessed, Princess Cheng Xuan and Mrs. Zhao made an appointment in private, and today's birthday banquet found an opportunity for Yan Jingluo to see Zhao Chonghua's second brother. After all, it is related to the defense of men and women, and this kind of thing is not good to do too deliberately, so Mrs. Zhao handed over this task to Zhao Chonghua and instructed her to bring Yan Jingluo to the garden, pretending to meet her second brother unexpectedly, and let them meet.

Mulan was a little angry when she heard this, "Then what are you doing with me?"

Zhao Chonghua saw that she turned around to leave, and hurriedly grabbed her, "You can't go, my mother has repeatedly told me that you can't tell the lord of Xianghe County to come out, won't you show your stuff as soon as you leave?"

"It's not about me either. Mulan took her hand away and said word by word, "This kind of thing is not something I should be involved in, you can do it yourself, I'll go." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Chonghua to speak again, he raised his voice and said, "Lord Xianghe, Chonghua, you go shopping first, and I'll go change clothes." ”
