Yue Yao once again confirmed the specific process of the banquet, and was relieved to see that everything was correct. This time the invitation was different from before, in the past, the banquets held by Yueyao were all invited to relatives and friends, even if there was a little mistake, it didn't matter. But this time it's different, this time it's the joy of knighthood and the joy of housewarming together, and everyone in the capital has been invited.

In the past, Yueyao asked Zhuang Ruolan for help in holding a wine banquet, but this time Yueyao didn't ask anyone to help. If you ask someone for help with this kind of thing, you will be laughed at if it gets out. Therefore, this banquet also proves Yueyao's ability to manage housekeeping.

On this day, Yue Yao got up early in the morning to freshen up, the clothes and jewelry she wore had already been selected, and Yue Yao changed her clothes after she washed up.

An Zhichen is a man, not so particular, but he wears a purple brocade silk python robe, his hair is fixed with a tiger-shaped black hosta, and he wears a hardware silk Nanmu Buddha bead on his wrist, this Buddha bead After An Zhichen came back, Yueyao wanted him to wear it, although An Zhichen felt that it was a little strange for him to wear a Buddha bead hand key as a man who conquered the battlefield, but this was a trivial matter for him, so he didn't brush Yueyao's heart.

Yueyao's dress has always been based on highlighting her temperament, and it is the same today.

An Zhichen looked at Yueyao's clothes, muttered a little, then walked over and hugged Yueyao, and said softly: "Zichang, you are so beautiful." ”

A flush appeared on Yue Yao's face, and she pushed it lightly, and said angrily: "It's all old husbands and wives, and they still say such things." Although there is blame in the words, but the eyes are full of surprise, and there is no woman who does not like to be praised, especially the praise of her husband, which should be intoxicating.

An Zhichen smiled: "I'm telling the truth. "With his daughter-in-law's appearance and temperament, Kyoto will never find a second one.

Gu You said outside: "Master, madam, the eldest girl and the eldest young master are here. "Neither husband nor wife likes to have a third person in the house when they are in the house.

An Zhichen took Yue Yao's hand and walked out, and when she arrived at the door, Yue Yao broke free of An Zhichen's big hand and showed affection in front of the child, Yue Yao was always difficult to let go.

An Zhichen didn't force it, don't look at Yueyao is now the mother of four children, but this shy appearance is like a girl in the second eight.

Brother Xu'er's mouth was the sweetest, and when he looked at Yue Yao, he immediately exclaimed, "Mother, you are so beautiful today." ”

Fei Ge'er said like a little adult: "My mother is beautiful every day, but today is very beautiful." "Dad is extraordinary, my mother is as beautiful as a fairy, and the four of them are naturally not bad.

Brother Sheng and Kexin naturally agreed.

The smile on Yueyao's face was like a blooming spring flower.

An Zhichen glanced at Fei Ge'er, but saw that Fei Ge'er's face did not change, An Zhichen felt that his son was only eight years old, in fact, this thought, adults can't compare!

The first guests to arrive was Ma Chengteng's family, and in the past, Ma Chengteng would probably not come to the banquet held by Yueyao, but today is a happy day, and Ma Chengteng also came.

The male guests were all entertained by An Zhichen with his three sons, and the female guests were entertained by Yueyao and Kexin, Zhuang Ruolan looked at Yueyao and said: "This all says that women will be old when they reach their thirties, just you!" It's the other way around, it's getting prettier. ”

Yue Yao welcomed Zhuang Ruolan and Ke Yue into the house, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law also made fun of me." ”

The two talked for a while, talking about Ke Yue's marriage, Ke Yue's face turned red when she heard it, she was very embarrassed, Yanqi was her own sister, and she would definitely not make fun of her sister, Ke Xin, she was too young, she was embarrassed to laugh.

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "Ke Yue's marriage has been decided, and in October, Yanqi's marriage is almost over. "As for who it is, before Zhuang Ruolan could say it, she heard outside that Wanhe and the county lord were coming.

Zhuang Ruolan was a little surprised: "Why did Lord Wanhe come here so early?" She came over so early with the intention of helping Yueyao, could it be that this Wanhe county lord came over so early to give Yueyao a hand?

The county lord Wanhe also came over as a family today, Guan Jingxuan and his two sons were in front, and the county lord Wanhe only brought his daughter Sister Lin.

As soon as the county lord Wanhe saw Zhuang Ruolan, he said with a smile: "I thought I should be the earliest, but I didn't expect Mrs. Ma to be earlier than me!" Yueyao saw that Wan and the county lord were sincere friends, and she received a lot of favors from King Duan, so she also accepted the closeness of Wan and the county lord, although she was not as close as Mingzhu, but the two were also close friends.

Yueyao looked at the four girls in the house and said with a smile, "Kexin, you take them to the garden." "Kexin is also familiar with them, and they get along well.

Yue Yao didn't have time to chat with them today, and soon went out to welcome guests again, and after a while, Weiyuan Hou's wife Yin's family also came over, and then Jingning's Hou's wife Ping's family also came over, and slowly, the guests also came over one after another.

This time, the guests in the capital were all invited, and these families were also very face-saving, either as family members, or as descendants of the family.

Yueyao was still a little worried that something would go wrong, but she didn't expect Wanhe County Lord to take the initiative to help her, which made Yueyao very grateful.

Zhuang Ruolan looked at the guests in the house, and sighed with some emotion, the two dukes, four marquis and six uncles in the capital, except for the people from the Ningguo Mansion who have not yet arrived, the other nobles have all arrived, and they are all in charge of the family, which shows An Zhichen's current status from this point.

Gu You walked in, and after saluting the ladies, he said to Yue Yao, "Madam, the prince of the Ningguo Mansion is here. ”

When the people in the room heard this, their faces were very subtle, this Mrs. Ning Guogong was actually Mu Qinglian.

Yue Yao thought that the Duchess of Ning Guo could block Mu Qinglian's way of correcting, but unfortunately Yue Yao underestimated Mu Qinglian's means, and in April this year, Mu Qinglian finally straightened things up and became the wife of the prince of Ning Guo's mansion.

Yueyao was originally the one who didn't want to invite the Ningguo Mansion, she didn't want to see Mu Qinglian, but this proposal was rejected by An Zhichen, An Zhichen's meaning was obvious, since the other nobles were invited, the Ningguo Mansion could not be left behind, and now the Ningguo Mansion is weak, but in the end, it is the Guogong Mansion, if you don't invite, there is a bit of a taste of high and low.

An Zhichen was also disgusted by what Mu Qinglian did, but An Zhichen's attitude was very clear, the two families had no conflict of interest, and they couldn't settle this grudge because of personal preferences.

Although Yueyao was unhappy in her heart, she also knew that An Zhichen was right, and human relations could not be dealt with by personal preferences.

As soon as Yueyao stood up, Mu Qinglian was welcomed in by the maid, and today was the first time Mu Qinglian went out to socialize after Fuzheng.

Mu Qinglian is wearing a bright red long skirt today, the long skirt is extremely complex and gorgeous, the cuffs and skirt are decorated with pearls of similar size, a Lingyun bun is combed, she is wearing a set of emerald jewelry, she is wearing a pair of purple gold earrings on her ears, and she is wearing a mutton fat jade bracelet on her hand.

Mu Qinglian is a beauty, Yue Yao never denies this, back then, the two were called Shuangshu in the capital, not only were both of them talented, but more importantly, both of them were very outstanding, but now Mu Qinglian made Yue Yao look particularly awkward.

It's not that Mu Qinglian is not beautiful, on the contrary, Mu Qinglian is more beautiful than before, but this kind of beauty, how to say it, looks very inconsistent.

When Mu Qinglian entered the house, her eyes naturally fell on Yue Yao's body.

Yueyao's dress today is actually not complicated, she wore a turbulent green long skirt, and the outside was draped with a thin smoke veil of emerald water, which very set off Yueyao's temperament, there are not many jewelry, but the little emerald inlaid beads on the head of the phoenix step shake makes people know at a glance that this is a rare boutique.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Mrs. Ning, please take a seat." "Just before Mu Qinglian came in, Yue Yao had already added a chair under the princess of Lu Guogong.

After Mu Qinglian greeted the ladies present, she looked at the people around her and asked strangely, "Why didn't you see Sister Lin?"

Yuehuan smiled and said, "Yes, why didn't you see the fourth brother and sister coming?" The fourth brother and sister were sick last time and didn't come, so won't they be sick again this time and can't come?" The same reply, but the meaning of the words is completely different.

Yue Bing felt that this Mu Qinglian was too annoying, what pot can't be opened, what are you doing when a guest asks this? Don't bother looking for trouble! Although Yue Bing has a lot of dissatisfaction with Yue Yao because of Mo's affairs, she and Yue Yao are a family, so why can outsiders spread wild here.

Yue Yao nodded: "The Lin family's health has always been not very good. "I didn't say why, I just stated one thing.

Yueyao's tone made the ladies present a little puzzled, mentioning the Lin family, Yueyao's tone was so cold, I was afraid that something was wrong, everyone thought of what happened last year, and they roughly had a number in their hearts.

Mu Qinglian chuckled, "Really? But why did I hear Sister Lin say that she didn't receive your invitation from Mrs. An? Not only did Sister Lin not receive it, but Aunt Lin didn't receive it either!" didn't give an invitation to his younger siblings, and he was also a loss to Lian Yueyao to do it.

As soon as Mu Qinglian's words came out, the ladies present were very surprised, and they all looked at Yueyao, even Zhuang Ruolan was very strange, if she didn't give an invitation to her mother's family, was she preparing to break off relations?

Seeing this, Zhou Yue smiled and said, "This must be a misunderstanding, right?" Third sister, you said yes, right?"

Wanhe didn't wait for Yueyao to reply, looked at Mu Qinglian and sneered: "Speaking of which, this county lord hasn't congratulated Mrs. Ning on her rectification!" It's been less than a year since the death of this housewife, and Mrs. Ning has risen to the top, this ability is really admirable!" Others are afraid of offending Mu Qinglian, she is not afraid, such a poisonous scorpion-hearted woman, she feels disgusted when she looks at it more, she didn't say anything just now, but she didn't want Yueyao, who is the master, to be embarrassed, and now she dares to come to smash the field, it depends on whether she has this weight.

When Mu Qinglian heard this, her face turned red, the so-called beating people does not slap her face, scolding people does not expose her shortcomings, Wanhe County Lord's words directly tore off her face.

Mrs. Ping, Marquis of Jingning, said with a smile: "Yueyao, this grape is quite sweet, where did you buy it from?" When I get back, I'll send someone to buy it?"

Yueyao said with a smile: "I didn't buy it, I gave it to my own Zhuangzi, my sister-in-law likes it, I'll have someone send it to you later." ”

Ping's didn't say anything polite to Yue Yao, and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome." "Whether the grapes are good or not is secondary, Ping's is to change the topic for Yueyao.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled and said to Ping's: "It's really strange to say, a few years ago, Yue Yao planted grapes on Zhuangzi and gave me a few grapes, guess what?"

Ping's was also happy to chat with Ping's Zhuang Ruolan: "What is the result?"

Zhuang Ruolan looked at Yue Yao and said: "As a result, her grapes have been eaten twice, and my grapes have not yet borne fruit, and they have finally hung fruit, and the taste is not as good as hers." ”

Wanhe County Lord was also happy to join in: "This must be her hiding her secrets, speaking of which, Yueyao, you don't share such a good thing with me." ”

Weiyuan Hou's wife Yin also said with a smile: "Brother and sister, the loquat you gave last time, our Hou Ye said that it was very delicious, you should have a seed in your hand, and give me a few plants, let me plant them in the yard." ”

The topic immediately shifted to eating, and everyone stopped mentioning what happened just now, as for Mu Qinglian, she is not a fool, half of the people present are helping Yueyao, if she continues to talk about it, she will definitely be attacked by everyone.

Mu Qinglian looked at everyone talking and laughing, and she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, even Yueyao didn't come out of the door, the officials and wives in the capital knew about it, Mu Qinglian thought that Yueyao's relationship would not be good, but today's performance of everyone let Mu Qinglian know that she took it for granted, as for how Lian Yueyao did it, Mu Qinglian didn't have time to think about it for the time being.

Gu You walked in and muttered in Yueyao's ear, Yueyao stood up with a smile and invited everyone to watch the play.

Yueyao invited the most famous opera troupe in the capital this time, the spring class, and the ladies in the capital don't have much fun, so watching the drama is one of the great pastimes.

Before the play, Kexin came over with more than a dozen girls, and Kexin was wearing a red dress today, combing the little girl's double snail bun, and inserting five-color biscarlet stone beads, which was very cute.

After Kexin gave the ladies a salute, she walked to Yueyao's side.

It may be that she has walked far, Kexin's little face is flushed, and there is fine sweat on her forehead, Yueyao took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on Kexin's forehead.

Kexin was a little embarrassed, but she didn't break away.

Seeing this, Ping said with a smile: "Don't you know, my sister-in-law just saw that Kexin's child was well-behaved and cute, and she kept muttering about having a daughter, but God just didn't fulfill her wishes, and she was stunned to give birth to four children in a row." ”

Yue Yao smiled and said, "I hope Mingzhu is a girl." "Yueyao received a letter from Mingzhu the day before yesterday, saying that she was pregnant again, and it was just a month old when she wrote the letter.

Lord Wanhe was surprised: "Mingzhu is pregnant again?" I remember she was born last September, right?" That's too fast.

Yue Yao shook her head and smiled: "She wants to have another daughter, although it has only been more than half a year, but fortunately, the doctor said that she is in good health and there is no hindrance." "Mingzhu can get pregnant so quickly, it can be seen that the relationship between the husband and wife is very good.

Lord Wanhe smiled: "What if you want to have another son?" God loves Mingzhu too much, but he can't make her perfect, so he has to let her have another son.

Yue Yao turned her head to look at Mrs. Jingning, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, if Mingzhu is still a son this time, let Mingzhu settle accounts with her when the time comes." ”

The people present laughed when they heard Yueyao's words, and many of them had envy in their eyes! They all want sons, but they don't get them, and people think they have too many sons.
