The big and small masters in the palace were rewarded, and the carriages of various mansions were parked outside the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. The guests who came to congratulate the birthday never stopped, Su Gu and the Zhao family were too busy, Lan Chao and Lan Xi all came out to help, and Aunt Xue stayed in the small kitchen to watch the meal, and the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion was immersed in joy.

The families of the capital are here, the Zhao family of the Marquis of Ningguo, the Qin family of the Dingguo Mansion, the Qian family of the Anguo Mansion, the Jiang family of the Zhongyong Marquis, the Li family of the Jing'an Bo Mansion, the Yue family of the Hussar General's Mansion, the Prince of Li and the Prince of Yong, etc., the young ladies and sons have also followed, and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which has always been pure, is lively today.

"Sister Zhuang, you're here!" Lan Xi was very happy when he saw Qin Zhuang following Mrs. Qin, but the ceremony could not be wasted, "Please be happy to the Duchess of the given country." Mrs. Qin, who greeted the Zhao family, said goodbye, and gave Qin Zhuang a half-salute. The long black and silky hair was coiled into a beautiful bun, and a few strands of broken hair were scattered, bringing out a bit of elegant and agile pale gold embroidered robes covered with translucent gauze of the same color, and dragged to the ground.

"Get up, you girl, don't you have such a big ceremony?" Mrs. Qin smiled and helped Lan Xi up. "Zhuang'er misses you very much, I have to quarrel to come over, today Zhuang'er is going to trouble you" Qin Zhuang also replied angrily

"Madame is polite, I will definitely take good care of Sister Zhuang. Lan Xi understood that Mrs. Qin was worried about Qin Zhuang's body that had just improved.

"That's good, there are more guests now, we won't delay you, let's go in first." Mrs. Qin said considerately that the Zhao family was naturally affectionately sent into the courtyard of the female guest. Lan Xi also told Qin Zhuang and the maid what matters to pay attention to, and Mrs. Qin, who was greeting the Zhao family on the side, listened very comfortably, and it could be seen that Lan Xi, the girl, was really good to her daughter.

The people who were sent to the Dingguo Mansion, the Ning Guohou Mansion came, as the Zhao family's mother's family, should have been the first to arrive, but because Zhao Rouyun's affairs Lan Chao also participated, the Ning Guohou Mansion lost face, and the two families had some dislikes, so the Ning Guohou Mansion was not the first to arrive as expected. And Zhao Rouyun really didn't arrive, only Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yi.

Lan Xi didn't step forward, but just pretended to be busy and avoided the Zhao family, so he didn't hear what they said.

Soon after, Yue Xiang also came with Mrs. Yue, wearing a light green long skirt, embroidered with light blue lotus flowers on the cuffs, silver threads outlining a few auspicious clouds, a dense row of blue sea water at the hem, cloud maps, the chest is a wide piece of brocade wrapped in the chest, and the body gently turns the long skirt to spread out. Tie the tassel hair at will, the hairline is obliquely inserted into the hibiscus warm jade step, the eyebrows and eyes are lightly swept with spring, the skin is delicate and soft as warm jade, the cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, the pearl earrings in the ears are swaying, the gems on the nails are bewitching and dazzling, a pair of gilt shoes on the feet are decorated with precious stones, and the eyes that rotate flexibly rotate wisely. Although Yue Xiang was born in a family of military generals, Mrs. Yue had the intention to show her face at various banquets, so she was dressed weakly.

"Sister Yue is so beautiful today," Lan Xi joked about Yue Xiang after saluting Mrs. Yue and Yue Xiang.

"You know how to laugh at me" Yue Xiang blushed, and he was about to hit Lan Xi, but Mrs. Yue was on the side, and Yue Xiang had to give up.

"Lan Xi is also very cute today" Mrs. Yue was very happy when she heard Lan Xi praise Yue Xiangmei, and she became closer to Lan Xi, and she also praised her.

I saw her with a goose egg pink face, big rectangular eyes, pink face and red lips, and her body was also very petite, with a rose purple satin water red brocade jacket on her upper body, embroidered with dense patterns, the placket was inlaid with real pearl and emerald collars, covered with a gold-edged pipa placket, tied with a pink brocade silk satin skirt, the whole person was just like a bright peach smiling in the spring breeze, very delicate and lovely, very in line with the atmosphere of today's birthday banquet.

The banquet officially began, and Su Gu, as the only son, naturally wanted to deliver a congratulatory speech: The son wishes his mother to have today every year, and every year to have a present dynasty, and to live a long life like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and to live longer than the old pine of Nanshan. Pine age long years, crane language send spring and autumn, peach hold the day 3,000 years old, ancient cypress towering forty around, willing to offer Nanshan longevity Qi Dayan Jinglun Fu, first open the Beihai bottle to learn to know the non-virtue instrument pure, green Qi thousand years old tree cane towards the spring and autumn yong, bright moon a pond of lotus fishing Wei silk lun sun and moon long, longevity examination Zheng Hongfu Xianya Lu Qiu life three joys, civilization to enjoy the New Year of the dove cane Tianbao Jiuru, Yan Gui Xie Lan menstrual half a life period Yizhuang Chun is not old, Sang Arc Peng is committed to the Quartet gentleman Fu Hong Fan Si Chen, Yao Chi Chun is not old and set up Yue Yu Fangchen 100 years old Yi Gang half, Shouyu Ri Kaixiang said that there are Caizi Jiu Chou Fu Shou has been double, Wang Shuying step Xiu Yushu step in front of Rong Yi danced Jin Xuan Ying Ri Rong Jin Xuan Tang on the flower nail early Zhou Fan Chen Jiuwu Fu has its own auspicious light in his later years, and the crane dance sunset is extraordinarily red. The poems are old words, and there is nothing new, but this birthday banquet is not like this, it is mainly a lively.

Sure enough, Lan Xi saw that the Wang family was very useful, and his face was full of smiles.

A little guy suddenly came in and said a few words in Su Gu's ear, Su Gu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went out to greet him. Everyone looked at it with a confused face.

A quarter of an hour later, under the leadership of Su Gu, a man dressed as a father-in-law was holding a scroll of calligraphy and paintings, followed by many minions. Everyone looked at it, isn't this the father-in-law next to the emperor?!

"Today is the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an, and the emperor will personally reward it, so take the order." Father-in-law De said with a smile.

Immediately, everyone knelt down in large numbers.

"The limelight carrier, the emperor's edict said: The sum of the old lady Wang of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and her good deeds can be an example for women. Today is the birthday of the sixtieth birthday. It is gratifying and congratulatory, and a pair of royal pen letters are given as a reward. Then give a string of golden silk fragrant wood inlaid cicada jade beads, a pair of palace makeup thousand leaves and gold peony jewelry, two pairs of delicate dotted green grass head insects inlaid with beads, two pairs of tired silk beads and hairpins, a red sandalwood carved inlaid longevity word mirror heart screen, and a set of Ruyi satin embroidered colorful auspicious cloud court clothes. Chin this"

"The concubine Wang is the lord of Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live." Xiao Wang led everyone to kowtow and thank him.

"Now that it has been delivered, the miscellaneous family will go back, and there is no shortage of people around the emperor." Father-in-law De is leaving. Su Gu hurriedly followed to see off the guests.

The calligraphy and painting given by the emperor is a birthday poem:

Sixty sixties are not idle, and a lot of hard work turns sweetness.

used to cross the sea, and also relied on the help of the family.

After a few days, he concentrated on the new ink, and the five more focused on the old poems.

Now I wish the dynasty to dance, and I should believe in life for 200 years.

A pine on the cliff bank of Jinsha, and the energetic branches shape the ancestral dragon.

When the peach and plum are in full bloom, they are lonely, and after the snow and frost are green.

The roots are deep and love the spring rain, and the leaves are still pitiful to the green valley wind.

The teacher's talent is admirable, and Gu Xi is worthy of his looks.

The spring and snow are embraced, and the moon and spring are still festive

You are looking forward to the stride, and I will bless the peach.

Everyone was complimented again, and the old lady felt comfortable when she heard it. The emperor's reward is such an honor, not to mention that he personally sent a birthday poem written by himself.

Lan Chao, as the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the eldest granddaughter of the old lady, was naturally the first to say the congratulatory speech:

Birthday celebrations.

German-Japanese Restoration.

Period: Yimei, Shou Shou, Changchun.

Five blessings and three spirits are eternal, longevity immortals.

Reverie and so on.

Birthday celebrations.

The feast is splendid.

Pick up the incense, and the jade is also like a hand.

Pick up the lamp, and the gold is like wine.

Birthday celebrations.

A poem was read all over the house, and everyone praised their talents and appearances.

After Lan Chao finished speaking, it was Lan Xi:

Life is longer than the world.

Longevity and longevity.

Since then, the pine tree has been lush in the forest.

Check Yaobei, since the Lantern Festival has passed, the two pods have flown for the first time.

Lush and lush, overflowing with joy.

Only know that it will fall, and it will be good in the month, and it will be good at the right time.

But seeing Wuxing Teng Ruicai, shining in Nanji every year.

It's a court-level orchid jade, accompanied by a branch of cinnamon, and a dance of Laiyi.

Pepper will be offered, and the song will be chanted.

Such as the queen mother, the section to the immortals, the same banquet Yaochi.

Daylilies are not old, and hundreds of thousands of longevity are indefinite.

The black rabbit walked from the bottom of his slur.

Everyone praised again, saying that she was worthy of being the first talented woman in the capital, and she was outstanding in writing. The old lady said that she was very comfortable, but Lan Chao was not in a good mood

The banquet was lively and vulgar, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone is bored, and they are just perfunctory greetings with each other, and singing and dancing are not fake, but they are a rare thing in the family, which makes people only annoying.

Xue and Xiao Wang were originally not qualified to appear, but today is Wang's birthday, Xiao Wang, as Wang's only relative in the capital, is pregnant, Su Gu in order to meet his mother's wishes and please Wang, so he allowed Xiao Wang, who was pregnant for three months, to attend the banquet. The Xue family is a noble concubine, and her position is higher than that of the Xiao Wang family, so there is no reason why the Xiao Wang family can participate in the Xue family, so I don't know if it is really for fairness or selfishness, Su Gu also agreed to Aunt Xue's participation.

Just started to have dinner, the old lady rewarded the meal, called blessing, is the longevity of the person to send their own blessing to the junior, papaya snow clam to Zhao's horseshoe cake to Lan Chao, crystal cake to Lan Xi, two bowls of red date soup to the two aunts, although Aunt Xue is higher, but Xiao Wang's old lady supports, and the stomach hates the noble, in the house to be a prestige and blessing, directly let the maid take a bowl first. Then he said that the pastries made by Aunt Xue for the old lady were exquisite and had to be eaten. The old lady sighed in her heart that this niece was too indifferent to the occasion, but she still relied on her and asked Grandma Sun to bring the pastries.

Aunt Xue didn't fight for anything, nor did she resist, but her face was slightly pale. Lan Xi looked at it and hurriedly asked

"Auntie, what's wrong with your face?"

"I didn't" Before Aunt Xue finished speaking, she heard an exclamation

"My stomach hurts!"
