Until the Spring Festival Banquet passed peacefully, Li Shuci's spirit did not relax at all, it was a matter of her parents, so she couldn't help it. However, An Qirong really didn't move in the past few days, and she was stuffy in the house for a few days under the pretext that she was not accustomed to the water and soil, and occasionally just went to the garden to scatter, and then went back to rest in a while.

However, Zhou's has been running diligently to Mingshoutang these days, and it happened that everyone was there on this day, and Zhou's suddenly proposed: "It's not a way for my mother to always do this, and it will be my mother's birthday in half a month, although it is not a whole birthday, I thought, it is better to do a big job, ask for good luck, and be happy." ”

Yao was stunned, she was worried these days, but she really forgot about the old lady's birthday, even if she thought it was a good idea, she nodded and responded: "It's still the sister-in-law who thinks about it thoroughly, I also think it's a good idea, what does the second sister-in-law think?" ”

Of course, Wu Shi will not have an opinion, but it is strange that Zhou was still sick and crooked a few days ago, so why did he suddenly get better.

On the third day of the Spring Banquet, An Qirong was very well, and she returned to her previous flower-like temperament, where to drill where it was lively, Li Shuci whispered to Qingge in private: "I thought she was avoiding the Spring Festival Banquet and would do something before my father left Beijing, but I didn't expect her to move at all." Do you know we're staring at her? ”

Qingge said: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Zhou poured into her, and today I mentioned giving the old lady a birthday, is it any idea?" ”

Li Shuci fell on the couch on her back, and if she didn't solve this scourge, she couldn't feel at ease anyway. "An Qirong doesn't move, and we can't break it. My father's tolerance this time is just to finish up, and when he comes back, he can just catch up with his grandmother's birthday, and when he falls, I'm afraid that all the characters in Beijing will come, and if something happens at that time, it's all over. ”

On the day of the birthday banquet, Fang Jin and Yu Baochan entered the Li Mansion before dawn, and the Li Mansion gave Li Shuci a concubine, and the two of them wanted to help Li Shuci greet the little ladies who came to the mansion.

An Qirong persuaded Li Shuwan and Li Shuyu, "I'm an outsider, it's not good to reach out to receive guests, why don't you two go?" The two of you are about to get married, you should show your face more, and you shouldn't miss such a good opportunity. The two hesitated, although they were also girls from the Li Mansion, they were just concubines, and the ladies who came to the mansion were all from various families, how could anyone come to make friends with them.

An Qirong persuaded again: "It's all your own sisters, you just follow Ah Ci, help watch it, it's not impossible, Ah Ci is not bad to take you on weekdays, why do you think too much." An Qirong saw the light in her eyes, and thought: Who doesn't want to have a good future!

Throwing off the two tails, An Qirong returned to the yard and dressed up. Today's birthday banquet in the Li Mansion is extremely lively, although the Li family has frequently slapped their faces in the early years, they still can't stop their colleagues and dignitaries from coming to cheer. Not to mention the relatives and friends who often move around, the older generation of the other families plus the younger generation, and then bring their respective wives, princes, nephews and little ladies, these people alone are about to fill the Li Mansion.

Although the two sisters, Li Shuyu and Li Shuwan, are not compatible, they will not hold guns at this time. followed Li Shuci with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes to be a good girl, Li Shuci didn't have anything to object, as long as these people didn't come to cause trouble for her, she also hoped that they would be good, so she really didn't say anything. It's just that I've been muttering in my heart, what kind of idea did An Qirong have? He gave the green pigeon a color, and the green pigeon understood, and said, "Girl, I'll go and see if there is any assignment from Madame." ”

The first little lady to enter the house here turned out to be Li Yu's opponent, Cao Ying, the granddaughter of Cao Cheng, the left minister. Cao Ying is used to being arrogant, and this time is no exception, several people said hello, Fang Jin generously led her into the flower hall, Yu Baochan looked at the backs of the two and muttered to Li Shuci: "This Cao Ying is taller, I'm afraid we can only see her nostrils." She is a person, and Sister Jin's temperament can cope with one or two! ”

The second one to come was Helian Yu, Helian Yu was tall, his face was heroic, and his every move was heroic, Yu Baochan's eyes lit up. Li Shuci introduced on the side: "This is Helian Yu, the younger sister of Helian Shizi. ”

Helian Yu didn't wait for Li Shuci to say the second sentence, so he asked Li Shuci excitedly: "This little lady is so beautiful, I can't take my eyes off it." This is your best friend, right? Ah Ci's friend must be no worse! I think we can play in one place! ”

Li Shuci couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly introduced the two, Helian Yu passed the excitement at the beginning, and said to Li Shuci in a low voice: "Aci, you know, that Kangyang She has long been in love with my eldest brother, and she wants to come over." The Queen Mother spoke, and the eldest brother had no choice but to agree to bring her along. You know, the stinky temper of the county lord of Kangyang, anyone within three feet of my eldest brother will be regarded as a vixen by her, if it makes you unhappy, you will be more responsible! ”

Li Shuci can't understand a lot of things about these two brothers and sisters, the county lord of Kangyang has taken a fancy to Helian Tao, what does it have to do with her, and she will not take the initiative to come over and be scolded. "Don't worry, I'll definitely avoid your eldest brother."

Helian Yu didn't know if Li Shuci understood it, Helian Tao had to let her pass on this, it was really troublesome. Seeing that Li Shuci was full of promises, he said: "At this time, there are many people, you are busy first, and when you are free later, I will talk to you again!" After that, he dragged Yu Baochan: "I'll take you away first, you know, I can't get used to those little ladies who twist Nini." ”

Li Shuci was speechless: "Okay! Go for it! ”

The little ladies who worshiped their birthdays one after another, and the county lord of Kangyang finally appeared, and as soon as she looked at her face, she asked, "Have you seen Helian Yu?" Where did she go? Li Shuci blinked and pointed in the direction of the flower hall, and the county lord of Kangyang didn't wait for her to salute and say hello, and left like a wind, it seems that this is to please the sister-in-law.

Alas, the orphan daughter of the king of Wujiang, the queen mother adopted her and fulfilled the reputation of benevolence for Emperor Xuwen, and Kang Yang, who grew up in the royal family, did not know whether it was good or bad. Helian Tao's family background is not clear from the king, and he will not marry the orphan daughter of the vassal king, this county lord of Kangyang, I am afraid he can only ask for it...... However, in this case, no one will explain her heartily.

Qingge came back from a circle in the backyard, leaned over to Li Shuci's side, and said, "Girl, there's nothing wrong with the backyard, and the one who didn't come out of the yard for a single step." In the front yard, the six princes and the prince met the five princes halfway, and they came together. The prince followed in less than a moment. And the Confucian king is also ......"

Li Shuci was surprised, and after thinking for a while, he didn't come up with a reason, although his grandfather was the right minister, it was only a congratulatory gift. Although the marriage between the Li family and the prince has not been completed, the Shen family and the prince have always been a rope, and the in-law relationship between the Shen and Li families cannot be ignored. I'm afraid that most people already regard the Li family as a princeling...... The fifth prince and the crown prince want to compete, so is this to push the Li family to the forefront?

There is also the Confucian king...... Li Shuci's breathing couldn't help but be gentle, why did he come...... She doesn't want to take care of the royal affairs, that's not her business, she's just a little girl's family, and she can't manage it if she wants to...... She just wants to give her relatives safety and let those ghosts and ghosts get out! She frowned almost invisibly, praying that An Qirong wouldn't make any trouble today! She thought for a while and said to Mu Yun: "Let your eldest brother go to the front yard and follow my father, if my father asks, you will say that I let it, and you can't go, at most stand far away, watch closely, don't stagger at a glance, remember no." ”

Mu Yun knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded heavily, Li Shuci thought about it and said: "You go and follow my mother, it's just as good, there are many people and things, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes." Mu Yun should accept it and hurry up to do it.

Li Shuci turned around and instructed Qingge: "You and Mei Bai, go to your grandmother's place to guard, don't take it lightly." Green pigeon, you know...... You must take good care of your grandmother and not make a mistake. ”

"Rest assured, girl, even if Qingge risked her life, she must not let the old lady have anything to do."

The smile on Li Shuci's face suddenly couldn't be hung up, and countless sadness surged in his heart: "Qingge, don't say stupid things, don't give up your life at every turn, we all have to live well!" ”

Qingge nodded, "That girl ...... here"

"You go back and let Xue Xin and Lan Xin come over, Yuebai and Shuangbai stay in the courtyard, and Mama Zheng. It's okay. Go for it! ”

Li Shuyu saw that she and Qingge were muttering for a long time, and her expression was a little bad, so she couldn't help but come forward and ask, "Fifth sister, is there something wrong?" ”

Li Shuci couldn't think of any other reason for a while, so he said: "There are a lot of distinguished guests here today, and several princes have arrived in person, I am afraid that there will be more people and chaos, so let a few girls go to distribute and distribute, nothing is wrong." The visitors are pretty much the same. The fourth and sixth sisters will go with me to the flower hall to entertain guests. ”

Li Shuyu nodded, Li Shuwan followed behind the two of them hesitantly, and suddenly said: "Fourth sister, fifth sister, I suddenly have some stomach pain, go back and rest for a while." ”

Li Shuci didn't take it seriously, just when she didn't want to come forward on this occasion, after all, all the nobles who came were from various families, and it was really difficult for her to come forward as a concubine. And he let her go on her own.

Li Shuwan turned around, thought about it, and returned to Shuyu Pavilion and went directly into Aunt Xu's house. "Auntie."

Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment, "It's not for you to make friends with nobles, why did you come back?" The five girls don't take you with you? ”

"Oh, mother, I don't know any of those people, and I can't talk when I stand there." Li Shuwan's eyes were shining, "Mother, I heard that there are several princes in the house, I don't know what the princes look like?" ”

Xu's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood what his daughter meant: "I said daughter, you can't mess around with the reputation of this daughter's family, if it is ruined, this life will be over!" "Xu is not confused.

Li Shuwan's face turned red: "Mother, how can my daughter be such a confused person?" It's just that there are so many people, and if you accidentally bump into something, it's not a big deal. She thought of Li Shuwen's marriage with the prince, if the prince still wanted to marry the Li family, if the prince saw her...... Her appearance is by no means worse than Li Shuwen......

"What if, I mean, one of these people has a daughter?"
