After another hour or so, everyone arrived at the main courtyard one after another.

I saw Liu Ziqin wearing a crescent moon white satin palace moon ruyi skirt, and a bright red embroidered peony Chaoyang butterfly flying jacket, which was so stylish, and the demeanor of being a housewife was not overflowing.

And Wen Tianling next to him was dressed in a blue embroidered python placket silk robe, and a black bearskin warm jacket, which made the whole person very majestic and imposing.

The lower head on the left is empty, which was Wu Yuexin's position. But Wen Sisi was sick, so neither Wu Yuexin nor Wen Sisi came over.

On the lower right is the beautiful aunt who gave birth to the seventh young master Wen Qintao, and Wen Qintao is standing aside, with Wen Shujin and Wen Shuxuan.

Aunt Mei, as the name suggests, is very beautiful and incredible, the whole person is as delicate and clear as if carved out of jade, and a pair of red phoenix eyes are the most fascinating.

And the second person on the left is Aunt Yue, who gave birth to the eighth Miss Wen Nian'er, Aunt Yue is an authentic Jiangnan water town girl, and the whole person exudes a gentle temperament unique to Jiangnan women.

And standing next to her is the thirteen-year-old Wen Nian'er, Wen Nian'er looks like Aunt Yue, small and exquisite, originally with a unique temperament, but for the sake of keeping her head down, as if shrinking behind Aunt Yue, she looks very timid, without the demeanor of everyone's ladies.

On the left, there are Wen Shujin, Wen Shuxuan, and Wen Qintao.

Wen Tianling was about to say something when she saw two women in purple clothes and a blue dress walking over.

"Daddy, mother is well." The people who came were the second lady Wen Qingyi and the third lady Wen Qiyi.

"En," Wen Tianling and Liu Ziqin looked at their two slim daughters, and they both responded with a smile.

"Everyone is together, so let's take a seat." Liu Ziqin glanced at Wen Tianling and said to everyone.

"The second sister, the fourth sister and the sixth sister and Aunt Wu"

Wen Qiyi heard this, looked at the people who had arrived, and then leaned over Wen Qingyi's ear and asked softly.

Although everyone knows about this, it is not surprising that no one will mention it.

It's just that Wen Qiyi went to the Hou Mansion today to attend the birthday banquet of the second lady of the Hou Mansion, so the people are not in the mansion, so they don't know about Wen Yunuan and Liu Ziqin, but Wen Qiyi is naturally not a stupid person, seeing that everyone looks natural, of course, he will not be very ignorant of the so-called asking Wen Tianling and Liu Ziqin in public, so he asked Wen Qingyi.

"I can't say anything about this matter in a sentence or two, I'll talk to you in detail later, and I can't mention it again at this time." Wen Qingyi listened to Wen Qiyi's words, and also replied to Wen Qiyi in a low voice.

"Second sister, how can I not know anything here." Wen Qiyi pursed her mouth, took Wen Qingyi's hand, and said coquettishly.

Everyone was seated, and Wen Qingyi and Wen Qiyi stopped talking.

"Qi'er, how is it in the Linghou Mansion today?" Liu Ziqin asked Wen Qiyi with a smile.

This Linghou Mansion is also a big family, although it is not the largest Hou Mansion, but it is not bad, Wen Qiyi can make friends with Ling Yue, the second lady of the Linghou Mansion, which is a very happy thing for Liu Ziqin.

After all, the girl who is waiting for the word boudoir also relies on participating in the banquet to let everyone know herself, so that she can find a good in-law.

And Ling Yue is now 17 years old, the same age as Wen Qingyi, and the relationship between the two is also very good, but because Wen Qingyi is preparing to get married and is busy embroidering the dowry, the banquet and the like have not been postponed, and no one will feel that this kind of thing is inappropriate. However, Wen Qingyi still prepared a birthday gift and asked Wen Qiyi to bring it over to Ling Yue.

"Sister Yue is so familiar, naturally it's all good." Wen Qiyi said, paused, and continued, "It's just that something happened to make Sister Yue not very happy." ”

"This good banquet has always been carefully arranged, what happened?" Liu Ziqin originally just asked casually, but she didn't expect that there would be an accident at the banquet.

"The county lord of Ann took her sister-in-law to Sister Yue's birth banquet." As soon as Wen Qiyi's words came out, everyone didn't know what to think.

This great dynasty has always valued the difference between the elders and the young, and the nobles in this capital city have a certain class division.

The concubine has the circle of the concubine, the concubine has the circle of the concubine, and the concubine cannot enter the circle of the concubine, so the concubine is not as good as the concubine in terms of education and the scope of the social circle.

And Ling Yue, as the second lady of the Linghou Mansion, naturally invited the second lady of the Linghou Mansion's birthday banquet, which is also something that everyone knows.

This county lord of Ann has always been a stable person, otherwise he would not have won the favor of the emperor, and he was named the second-grade county lord at the age of sixteen.

But today she actually brought her sister, which is a little weird.

"What is Ling Yue's place that provoked the county lord of Ann?" Wen Qingyi listened to what Wen Qiyi said, and then thought of such a possibility.

"Naturally, no," Wen Qiyi replied, "Sister Yue is gentle and polite, plus Sister Yue has never seen the county lord of An N before this, I have never seen this, where will I offend people." ”

The county lord of Ann is the daughter of the deceased princess of the seventh princess, and this princess is not the sister of the concubine of today's saint, but the sister born to a noble concubine. However, because the seventh princess died, the emperor naturally didn't mind giving her daughter a little welfare, so he made a county lord and sent someone to pick up the county lord of An N in YT County, who was not very familiar with the capital.

Therefore, although it has not been long since the county lord of An N arrived in the capital, this birthday banquet of Ling Yue of the Linghou Mansion is also the first banquet that the county lord of An N has attended since he arrived in the capital.

"It's probably because the county lord of Ann has just arrived, and I don't know the rules of this capital." The county lord of Ann is no more, it is also a royal person, they are talking here, it is not good after all, if it is spread by outsiders, maybe how to say that their prime minister's mansion does not respect the royal family.

So, Liu Ziqin came to such a conclusion, that is, let everyone no longer talk about it.

"Sure enough, my mother is smart, Qi'er is stupid, I can't think of such a simple reason."

Wen Qingyi added a sentence at the right time, enlivening the atmosphere of the entire banquet.

And so they ate their meal, and sat in the hall for a while, and then went into the courtyard.

The girl's house is not allowed to go out, and even if she goes out, she must wear a hood.

However, during the Lantern Festival, they always have to take a look at the lanterns, so after eating, Liu Ziqin asked people to hang up the lanterns ordered from outside in the courtyard for everyone to watch.
