On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is shining. On weekdays, the meals in each courtyard of the Yang family are solved separately, and the people of the Yang Mansion have a banquet together during the New Year's holidays.

Jing Ci was urged to go to the banquet by Fang Nian early, and not long after the last incident, she was afraid that the master would annoy the eldest lady again. Obviously, Jing Ci came early. There was no one at the table, only a few maids were busy, and the maids saw Jing Ci and blessed themselves, and then they continued to be busy with the work at hand.

"Siniang came so early."

The person who spoke was the mother-in-law Alu, who had just finished the decoration of the banquet, walked up to Jing Ci, and blessed her body slightly, "Fourth lady, please take a seat." ”

Aru refers to the fourth case on the right side of the main seat, which is the tailblock.

Jing Ci then took a seat, and quietly looked at the spacious and magnificent inner hall, there were a total of nine seats for this banquet, and I don't know who came. After a while, the rest of the people came over one after another. Basically, every time someone comes, the young girl will whisper to remind Jing Ci to get up and salute. Looking at it, the main seat is still empty, the left and right sides of the main seat sit Yang Shouyan and Yang Zhiqing respectively, the next row is Yang Zhiqing's favorite concubine Wan Niang, Yang Yupei, the second lady of Yang Mansion, and the other row is the concubine He Niang, Yun Niang, it is Jing Ci's turn to come down, and Li Chen opposite.

Jing Ci quietly looked at the three aunts in the banquet, this is not the few aunts I met a few days ago, the aunts in front of me are smiling and smiling, they are all dressed in a rich and noble state, and their appearance is needless to say. Among them, the favorite concubine has a high and straight nose and deep and bright eyes, and at a glance you can see that she is not from Guannei.

Fang Nian whispered in Jing Ci's ear that on the day she entered the mansion, the gift she received was sent by Aunt He and Aunt Yun in front of her.

"Why didn't the aunts come?" Jing Ci quietly asked Fang Nian.

"There are many aunts, and the place is limited, only those who have the consent of the lady and the eldest lady can attend."

"Guan Niangzhiβ€”" There was a sound outside the door.

Guan Niang is Yang Zhiqing's mother and arrogant grandmother, and this time she can witness her grandmother's true face.

After a while, an old woman with a slightly arched basket stepped into the house, and the maids behind her were like clouds, and the formation was quite large. The old woman looks noble, wears gold and silver, is full of jewelry and hair accessories, a shawl is elegant, her steps are very slow, and the charm of walking is still there, if it were not for the wrinkles on her face and the fat and heavy body, she would not have seen that this person was close to the elderly.

And they all stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, take a seat." The old lady smiled lightly, her eyes swept around, and finally fell on Jing Ci, "Oh - my little granddaughter!" ”

"Jing Ci to meet Grandmother." Jing words make a big salute.

The old lady stepped forward to help him up, wearing a clear jade bracelet and wrinkled hands holding the delicate little round face of Jing Ci, "My heart and soul baby, I'm finally back-"

Jing Ci was stunned, she never expected her to have this appearance, didn't she dislike her when she came back to see her that day? What is this grandmother's calculation......

"It's been ten years since I've gone, and our family is the brightest and most lovely pearl baby...... It's back, it's back......" said the rickety old lady, choking up unconsciously, quite emotional.

"Siniang came back, and grandmother finally let go of one thing." Yang Shouyan in the seat looked kind and quite pleased.

"None of you are allowed to bully my good granddaughter," the old lady quickly tilted her head to face everyone, her eyes were sharp, and she was upright, "Whoever dares to bully her is to bully the old woman and me." ”

"A-Niang, look at what you said...... graceful and luxurious Aunt He showed a bright smile, "Siniang is back, it's too late for us to hurt her, how can we bully her." ”

The old lady snorted coldly, "Some people just don't take the old woman in my eyes, this is the Yang Mansion, surnamed Yang." ”

"Okay-" Yang Zhiqing, who had been silent, finally sighed and said: "A-Niang, take a seat, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, don't be angry, be angry and make money." ”

When the son speaks, the old lady naturally listens to her son. She restrained her emotions, walked to the front seat with an arrogant expression, and stopped her pace when she walked in front of Yang Yupei's seat. Everyone sighed in their hearts, what is this ancestor going to do again? Although the old lady's footsteps stopped, she turned her head to the person opposite Yang Yupei, an exotic woman with a high nose and deep eyes, "The maid hasn't been to greet me for a few days, I'm afraid I forgot about the old woman, right?" ”

"The maid knows her mistake, and she will never do it again next time." The favored concubine admits her mistake, the old lady is not easy to offend, and everyone knows it.

"The maid has been assisting Yan'er to take care of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet these days, and she is very busy, which is understandable." Yang Zhiqing spoke out to maintain.

"Duty and duty are as indispensable, you have to abide by the rules of the Yang Mansion when you enter the Yang family, this little thing can't be done well, and the Yang Mansion does not leave waste......

Yang Zhiqing trembled and struggled to get up, and the minions on the side hurriedly helped him.

"Don't move, don't move......," the old lady hurriedly stopped him when she saw this, "You have to take a leisurely look at your sick legs, and you only go out of the room during the New Year's holidays, what if your condition worsens when you come out?" The Yang family is now a man like you, if you don't take care of yourself, how will we live? ”

"The child understands...... But I really can't blame the maid for this......"

"Alright, alright." The old lady finally walked to her seat and sat cross-legged, "But then again, son, why don't you let her be in charge of the Yang Mansion if you love her so much?" Daughter, after all, she is married, her elbow is turned out, and she is worried about her husband's family affairs, how can she take care of our Yang Mansion well? ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to squeak.

Yang Zhiqing laughed dryly, "A-Niang is confused...... Wild goose is irreplaceable. ”

"Look at the way you protect and protect, you only remember that the concubine loves her daughter, and you don't feel sorry for your mother......"

The old lady finally finished making a fuss, and all her goals were achieved, so that everyone could sit down and eat the feast in peace.

All kinds of dishes are served to each table one after another, with all the color, aroma and wine, and the aroma of grapes and wines is striking, which makes people can't help but drink one cup after another.

Halfway through the banquet, Yang Shouyan raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "The full moon is shining, the blessing is overflowing, everyone is rare to gather, I hope that our Yang Mansion will have today every year, and there will be a present day every year." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

"The affairs of the Hu family, can you settle down?"

"The wild goose has already been taken care of, and grandmother doesn't have to worry about it." Yang Shouyan showed his usual smile.

"It's not easy to be a woman, and it's even more difficult to be a woman of the Yang family." The old lady immediately swept her gaze to the other side and said lightly: "It's a big holiday, Erniang doesn't have a reunion dinner in Weiwang's Mansion, what are you doing here?" ”

The topic finally fell on her, Yang Yupei slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, and said unhurriedly, "The daughter who married out is really spilled water?" "She has never liked this grandmother, and she doesn't bother to buy her account, she is now the princess of the Wei Palace, and this old woman has nothing to do with her.

The old lady's face quickly turned cold.

Seeing this, Yang Shouyan hurriedly relieved the siege, "Isn't this only half a year of marriage, everything is fresh, Erniang and Wei Wang have a small fight, and flirting and scolding between husband and wife is conducive to enhancing feelings." ”

"It's time for Erniang to restrain her temperament, this time is different from the past, and the situation can't tolerate your willfulness."

"Why should the eldest sister stay in the mansion, I can't." She also lowered her face and muttered quietly, she was really fed up with this strange old woman.

The old lady snorted coldly, "What do you compare to your eldest sister?" She stared at her coldly, this old girl of the Wang family was really used to her too often.

He Niangzi smiled, her voice was hearty, "Erniang is not careful, the eldest lady has worked hard in our Yang Mansion, and the Yang Mansion has a great cause, so she will not be tired of taking care of it." On the surface, it is biased towards Yang Shouyan, but in fact, it is fanning the flames, who in the Yang Mansion does not know the temperament of the arrogant second lady Yang Yupei.

"The eldest sister has an oil bottle, but I don't have an oil bottle." Yang Yupei's high-spirited face has not changed.

"Isn't that time to congratulate?" Yang Shouyan had a smile on his face and his phoenix eyes swept sharply towards her, "There are no heirs, you are relaxed, and you can come and go freely between the Yang Mansion and the Wei Wang's Mansion." The coolness of his tone made people shudder.
