cpa300_4(); Yang Wanyun's birthday banquet has arrived.

Early in the morning, almost before I woke up from my dream, I had already heard the sound of busyness outside, when I opened my eyes in confusion, all kinds of messy shadows flashed in front of me, so that I was a little stunned for a while, I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

It took me a while before I realized that it was the busy maids passing by the hallway outside the house, their figures cast on my window.

Cai Wei also came, served me to get up and freshen up, because today's day is special, and specially selected a more luxurious one from the clothes that Rue Xiang gave me, the neckline and cuffs have gold thread embroidery patterns, which are particularly exquisite, worn on the body, a look in the mirror, I don't know why, I unconsciously thought of the four words Mu Monkey and crown, and laughed myself.

Cai Wei didn't notice what I was thinking, and specially combed me into a chic bun, the hair that was coiled up high was piled up like a cloud, pinned with two beaded hairpins, revealing a long snow-white neck, slowly submerging into the gorgeous collar, speaking of which, it was not so ugly than I imagined.

Cai Wei, who was standing with my hand, was using a grate to pull up the somewhat disheveled sideburns on her temples, and when my hair was completely in place, she stood behind me and did not move.

After a while, I heard her say softly, "Madam, you are so beautiful." ”

I laughed dumbly, looking at her blank appearance reflected in the bronze mirror.

She also looked at me in the bronze mirror, maybe because of the chic bun and luxurious clothes, today I have a little more brilliance than usual, she looked at me blankly, as if involuntarily said: "No wonder, the son has always been to the lady-"

Immediately, my face darkened.

She also immediately realized something, hurriedly cut off the back words, and said, "Madam, I'm sorry! ”

I only glanced at her, but I didn't blame her, but my mood was slightly heavy, and after being silent for a while, I said lightly: "It's okay." Go and prepare something to eat, we've used it earlier, and then you go out and see what's going on outside. ”

Although Mrs. Hanyu said that she would make other arrangements for me, but in the end, the Yang Mansion was full of guests today, and I was not interested in revealing my identity and whereabouts at all, so it was better to let her go out to find out some of the situation.

Cai Wei hurriedly went, and after a while prepared breakfast for me. Although the Yang Mansion is busy for the grand birthday banquet today, but my side of the affairs are not slack, the breakfast is still very rich, Cai Wei accompanied me to eat two bites, and I couldn't wait to go out to hear the news, and I came back one after another, I knew that after the end of the day, there were guests arriving one after another.

Yesterday, Yang Wanyun's two sons who were doing business in other places, Yang Yunyi and Yang Yuntao, had returned to the capital, and now the two of them and the official family were greeting the guests at the door.

I asked, "What about Yang Jinyao?" ”

Cai Wei shook her head: "I haven't seen her go out yet." ”

"Oh...... Which guests are coming? ”

Cai Wei's memory is good, although she has never been to the capital, and she is not familiar with those officials, but with her own memory, she has recorded the official titles of those guests who are chanted at the door.

Listening to me, it seems that all the officials who are coming now are not very important, all of them are officials below the fifth grade.

Of course, the more important the person, the more it will be delayed until the end.

When I finished speaking, and I sat silently on the couch silently, Cai Wei waited for a while, and then asked me, "Madam, do I still want to go out and watch?" ”

"There you go. Come back to me later. ”

"Yes."

She went out again with great hospitality.

After a while, she ran back and forth two or three times, and gradually, some high-ranking officials appeared among the guests.

And not long after she came back this time, there was a knock on our door, and when we opened the door, we saw that it was a maid beside Mrs. Hanyu, who seemed to be shrewd and capable, and said gently and obediently: "Miss Yan, Mrs. sent a slave to invite Miss Yan to the banquet." ”

I slowly got up from my couch and walked to the door: "The guests are all here." ”

"It's almost there."

"Then, has Lord Wu Yanqiu, the head of the household department, arrived?"

"Madame also knows that the post is posted, but whether the guest comes or not is the guest's business."

This is also true.

By this time I had already walked to the door, gently dusted off my cuffs, and said, "Okay, you can lead the way." ”

"Yes, ma'am, please."

Cai Wei and I followed her to the front, but as we walked, I found that the road we walked was different from the usual way to the front hall, but it was like going around in a circle, and when we walked through those corridors, we could hear the voices of the guests talking and laughing, which was completely recognizable, but they obviously didn't know that I was walking slowly just across the wall.

At the end of the cloister was a small arched bridge leading to a door in front of me, which looked like a secret door, and as soon as I entered, I was completely surrounded by the noise of the hall.

I'm already in the hall.

The only difference was that in front of me, there were six screens that separated me from all the guests outside the hall.

Inside the screen, there is a table and a chair, on which are already placed several plates of cold cuts, a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and a pot of wine.

I was stunned: "This is—"

"Miss Yan, this is specially prepared for Miss Yan by Mrs., and I hope Miss will not dislike the desertion here."

I didn't speak, just stood quietly, but Cai Wei behind me whispered: "But in this way, don't you tell everyone that there are guests here?" ”

The maid smiled, but did not speak.

I turned my head, the screen is not completely isolated from the outside, there are some hollow carvings on the screen, very exquisite, I sit inside, I can see the outside of a qiē scenery, but the people outside, may be able to see the figure in the screen shaking, but absolutely can't see who is inside.

At this moment, through those hollow carvings, I saw that the spacious hall outside had dozens of tables of banquets, and the tables were covered with festive red cloths, and there were also cold dishes, chopsticks, and fine wine on the table in front of me. On both sides of the hall, there were six screens in turn, but I heard the melodious sound coming from inside.

I see.

I can be completely invisible at this birthday banquet.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be convinced of Mrs. Hanyu's thoughts, and said to the maid with a smile: "Let your lady bother." ”

"Miss Yan, don't say that. can have a big man like Miss Yan attend the master's birthday banquet, and the Yang family is also full of brilliance. ”

I laughed.

And just as the maid pulled out the chair and I was about to sit down, I heard the master of ceremonies at the door outside chanting loudly: "Hubu Shangshu, Lord Wu Yanqiu has arrived!" ”

My spirit sank, and the action of sitting down suddenly turned into a sudden sound of standing up straight.

Not only me, but even the maid who was holding the back of the chair with her hand, and Cai Wei, who had been quietly watching outside, were shocked, and the two of them held their breath almost at the same time.

As the chanting stopped, a familiar figure appeared in the sunlight outside the gate.

And immediately, some officials in the hall had already surrounded it.

As soon as Wu Yanqiu appeared at the door, those officials had already surrounded him, and they were all over the place, and they were all chatting and laughing, and they were very affectionate. At this point, Wu Yanqiu is much more sophisticated than Liu Qinghan, there are so many people surrounding him, he can be well-entertained, and he does not neglect one, but he does not leak.

When those officials dispersed, Yang Wanyun walked forward with Mrs. Hanyu and Mrs. Yuerong.

They are far away, and Yang Wanyun and Wu Yanqiu seem to have deliberately lowered their voices, I can hardly hear what they are saying, just looking at Wu Yanqiu's mouth shape, which is probably "Furu Donghai Shoubi Nanshan" and the like, Yang Wanyun and Mrs. Hanyu are both calm people, and they are thoughtful, but Mrs. Yuerong probably still took a breath, with a slightly displeased look, and she was a little perfunctory when she saluted.

After Wu Yanqiu finished speaking, he turned to one side, and let the entourage behind him step forward and present a congratulatory gift, but it was a boss brocade box, Yang Wanyun hurriedly took it and handed it to the entourage behind him, and then the two of them gossiped a few more words, and then led him to a seat at the front of the hall and sat down.

And the place where Wu Yanqiu sat was close to the screen in front of me.

At this time, I can also see him more clearly.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a few months, and it's hard to see any changes in people, if I have to say that the change is probably because he is more calm than before, and I think it's also the reason why he is in a high position, and he has to be more cautious in his words and deeds. He sat down in that position, and after perfunctory a few officials who had come over to talk, he quietly began to look around.

Then, he looked at the screen on my side.

His gaze stopped.

My heart skipped a beat, but I didn't do anything, just sat quietly in my place, looking at him through the hollow carvings.

He looked at it for a moment, but didn't seem to see anything, and then turned his head away.

However, just as he turned his head, the noise in the hall suddenly fell silent.

For everyone saw a young lady who was dressed in a splendid garment and as delicate as a hibiscus, and she was very young and pretty, and when she appeared in the hall, it seemed as if all the sun was shining on her alone.

Wu Yanqiu only glanced back, and immediately, his whole body stiffened.

Because the young lady who appeared in the hall and attracted everyone's attention was Yang Jinyao!

I sat there quietly, looking at the surprised expression on Wu Yanqiu's face.
