Chapter 431: Gift (2nd Update)
"Miss Zhou...... The little one didn't lie to you, the little one heard that Ye Hou Ye left urgently last night, and he estimated that there was an urgent matter...... "That person didn't dare to hide it, and told all the news he only knew, he didn't dare to offend the daughter of the eldest princess."
Zhou Xuerou's expression eased at this time, so she said that she was in a hurry to leave, she thought that she would turn around in two or three days at most, so she put her mood down, no, since Ye Xuyao was not in this official office, she didn't need to guard here, looking at the group of people with yellow faces and thin muscles, she also felt unlucky.
After a while, she sat in a soft sedan chair and was carried back to the princess's mansion.
It's just that she was too optimistic, she didn't see Ye Xuyao's figure for three days, and her patience was also exhausted, and she was extremely irritable, and she had several seizures in a row when she was angry, and once she overturned the boiled porridge to the ground, and turned around and left in a huff. This made the victims who had been singing the praises of their mother and daughter as great benevolent people couldn't help but look sideways, it turned out that the daughter of the eldest princess was not a good stubble.
Originally, she insisted on giving porridge just to find an opportunity to meet Ye Xuyao and cultivate her feelings, but now that the main owner is not there, she is too lazy to go to the porridge shed to supervise again. Without her sitting there, the descendants of the eldest princess's mansion were much more perfunctory, and the porridge that was originally boiled without chopsticks was now so thin that only a few grains of rice could be seen in a bowl, and most of the food made people greedy.
When the victims saw this, the original praise turned into a lot of complaints, and the subordinates of the eldest princess's mansion also suppressed this voice viciously, which then caused strong dissatisfaction among the victims, and there were several skirmishes one after another, but fortunately it didn't make a big deal out of it.
On this day, Zhou Xuerou hadn't seen Ye Xuyao for five days, and Bucun went to find her mother with red eyes, lying on the eldest princess's knees and crying bitterly, "He didn't even tell me his whereabouts, mother, why is he so ruthless?" What's wrong with me......"
The eldest princess has always been partial to this only daughter, and she stroked her hair and persuaded her for a long time before she coaxed her daughter to stop crying, "It is estimated that there are too many things to pull away, don't think about it so much......"
"Mother, I don't want to speculate too much, but I can't find out his whereabouts when I ask around, mother, do you think he will always avoid me?" Zhou Xuerou also wanted to have more contact with Ye Xuyao to cultivate feelings.
The eldest princess's brows furrowed tightly, "Don't worry, if he intends to avoid you, my mother has her own way to let him appear in front of our mother and daughter at that time." At this moment, she smiled quite confidently, can Ye Xuyao avoid them forever? It's simply not possible.
Zhou Xuerou's eyes lit up, "Mother, do you have a good way?" ”
The eldest princess gently pinched her daughter's delicate face soothingly, "The mountain people have their own tricks, you wait and see." ”
After getting her mother's quasi-letter, Zhou Xuerou broke into a smile, and she was coquettish next to her mother for a while, the eldest princess ate her daughter the most, and her expression became more and more gentle and amiable, of course, this is the look that only she can have in front of her daughter.
The New Year is approaching, Lin Long's birthday is also coming as scheduled, Ye Zhongshi sighed, "You didn't make a big deal about your birthday when you got married, but I also wronged you, I originally wanted to hold a decent banquet for you this year, but now it seems that it is not suitable for ......"
Even the birthdays of the emperor, the crown prince, Princess Fu'an and others have been handled in a low-key manner, and there is no reason for their daughters-in-law to do it in a high-profile manner, it is not easy to be in the limelight at this time, this truth is understood by everyone in the powerful houses of the capital, so this year's banquet is very rare, and there is no excitement in previous years.
Lin Long said with a smile, "My mother-in-law didn't make a big deal on her birthday, what do I have to be wronged by as a junior?" In my opinion, it's good to have a meal for your family to celebrate. ”
Ye Zhongshi smiled, "I'm different, my mother told me my fortune, saying that if my birthday is celebrated too grandly, I will lose my birthday, do you think I can not listen to this?" I still want to live a few more years to see my brothers marry and have children. ”
Lin Long only knew why she had been in the door for almost four years, and she had never seen Ye Zhong's birthday as a guest at the banquet, so it was handled in a low-key manner for this reason, and she didn't think that everyone believed in this numerology very much, so it was hard to say anything.
"Come on, I'm the master's guidance, unlike you, your life doesn't clash with this." Ye Zhongshi said with a smile.
"On this New Year's Day, I have a meal with my relatives and three or five confidants and friends." Lin Long is very reasonable.
Ye Zhongshi also nodded with relief on his face.
So when it came to Lin Long's birthday, he didn't make a big deal, but sent a few invitations to invite relatives and friends to celebrate his birthday.
Pei Mingfei brought her family Fang Niansu here, and Ye Tian also hugged his son Ye Xuwei, just playing with Lin Long's pair of younger sons, and now these four babies also happen to be able to climb, but they can also play, the child's world adults don't understand, anyway, they have their own set of ways to get along.
Lin Long couldn't help but sigh when she saw Bei Mingfei's face that was even thinner than some time ago, she still didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and her heart was heavy when she thought of this. So he pulled Bei Mingfei aside and persuaded a few words, which was nothing more than relaxation, Fang Yeji had his own heavenly appearance and the like, except for these, she didn't know how to persuade her.
Bei Mingfei said, "Ah Long, today is your birthday, let's not mention these, do you think I am not living well?" For the sake of my sister Su, I have to hold on no matter what, you also know what my sister-in-law is, she is also pregnant now, and when she gives birth to a child in the future, if I am not there, maybe my sister Su will really be bullied by her. ”
She can't be sad, the child is the biggest motivation for her to survive, and she still has a large amount of money in her husband's precautionary placement, which are all daughters' dowry, and she has to keep them.
Lin Long saw the firmness in his friend's eyes, and his heart finally let go of half of it, but he still said, "Our brother Ting'er and his father have also sent people to continue to search, and now there is no news that is good news, I always feel that Fang Ye will not die so easily." ”
Bei Ming's scarlet eyes couldn't help but turn red, but when she thought that today was Lin Long's birthday, she couldn't hold back her tears, but she still held Lin Long's hand, "Ah Long, thank you." "If Lin Long didn't help her, she really had no way to ask for help, her father and brother's ability was limited, and the only one who could help her find someone was Lin Long's husband Ye Xuyao, "I owe you so much, I don't know how to repay it in the future......"
"You and I have been friends for life, what are you doing with these polite words? That's a rhetoric left to outsiders. Lin Long blinked and smiled.
Pei Mingfei smiled at this time, "It's my right thing to say, when he finds Sister Su and her father one day, we will thank you as a husband and wife." ”
Lin Long patted her hand and said that she knew, after this conversation, she finally saw infinite vitality in Bei Mingshuang's eyes, and people can only live hard when they have a head.
Of all the friends who came, the only thing that surprised Lin Long the most was that Du Quan actually came, she looked at Du Quan's expression, which was much better than what she saw last time.
Du Quan took the birthday gift from the maid behind him and handed it to Lin Long, "Mrs. Ye, being a little careful is not respectful, please accept it with a smile." ”
"You're all polite." Lin Long stretched out his hand and took it from the big girl Ruyan behind him, and then looked at her legs, "Are the injuries all healed?" ”
Ye Manzi and the people of the Du family helped Du Quan get down from the soft sedan chair and sat on the Luohan bed, Du Quan pulled Ye Manzi, a good sister, to sit beside him, and then looked at Lin Long with a smile, "Thanks to Mrs. Hou's concern, it's much better, I don't complain anymore now, it's time for me to take the calamity of my fate, people still have to live well." ”
Lin Long looked at Du Quan like this, and the appreciation in his eyes gradually increased, sure enough, he didn't grow up without a single thing, and now Du Quan is much more mature than before, "Seeing that you can come out of the shadows, I don't want to be happy in my heart, where I am needed, the girl may as well speak, I can help." ”
"I'm waiting for Mrs. Hou's words." Du Quan winked at Lin Long.
Lin Long was slightly stunned, and then became interested, "If you have anything, just tell me directly, and also, call me Sister-in-law Ye, Mrs. Hou's title is too rusty." ”
"Then dare to be kind, in the future, sister-in-law Ye will also call me Sister Quan, so closer." Du Quan is as good as a stream, she likes people like Lin Long more and more, she didn't find it before, but now she knows who is credible and who is not, and there is a little closeness in her eyes, "I have something important to discuss with Sister-in-law Ye, today is my sister-in-law's birthday, let's discuss it another day." ”
Lin Long glanced at Du Quan, who was so mysterious, her eyes were full of puzzlement, seeing that Du Quan didn't mean to explain it, she couldn't help but glance at her sister-in-law, this leaf vine seed has been mixed with Du Quan recently, I hope she can reveal something.
Ye Manzi shook his head, "I don't know what Sister Du has been planning recently, this sister-in-law has to ask Sister Du." After speaking, he covered his mouth and smiled.
"Sister-in-law Ye, don't guess, I'll come to my sister-in-law in person two days after tomorrow." Du Quan smiled.
"Okay, sister-in-law is waiting." Lin Long also responded happily, anyway, there are few things that can't be solved for her now, so there is no need to break the clay pot now and ask to the end.
Let her sister-in-law greet Du Quan, turn around and leave with a confession, and she has many relatives and friends who have to greet her in person, so this banquet has always been a troublesome matter.
Ye Man'an was still pregnant and did not come in person, Fu You restricted her movements, so she could only send someone to send a congratulatory gift to Lin Long's sister-in-law.
So when Zheng Xizhu arrived, there was no one who could speak, so she had to go to the four babies to have a look, knowing that she would also bring the fat boy from the family to play together.
Su Ziyu in the palace sent a birthday gift, which was expected, Lin Long was not surprised, the most unexpected thing on her birthday was that Ye Xuyao actually calculated the date and sent people to send her gifts all the way.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and open it to see, what did the eldest brother send?" Ye Manzi smiled and encouraged Lin Long to open the gift sent by his eldest brother on the spot.
I didn't expect her eldest brother, who has always treated everyone with no expression on his face, to have such a romantic side, she has to envy her sister-in-law to death, and she will find such a caring husband in the future.
