Chapter 67: Separate Battalions
ps: After the update, I saw that there were readers tipping. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info is very grateful for iuknow's peach blossom fan here, the state is too bad in the past two days, and I am tired, tired and sleepy every day. But fortunately, with everyone's support, things will probably be done tomorrow, and I will adjust my state well!
After Banxia left, Ye pulled Luo Qingran to his side and sat down, and said: "My mother received a famous post from the right minister's mansion today, saying that on the 20th, Uncle Li Guo and his wife invited us to the mansion to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so I came to inform you. ”
As he was talking, Banxia came over with freshly brewed tea.
Luo Qingran took it and personally poured a cup of tea for the Ye family, "The Li family wants to hold a hundred flowers banquet?" However, my daughter has never heard of it in previous years, what are the strange flowers and plants in the right minister's mansion? ”
"I don't know about this, the name card is in quadruplicate, and we have received it in every room in the house."
"That's right..."Luo Qingran nodded subconsciously, "Then you still have to prepare a proper gift and bring it with you." ”
"I'm here to tell you about this," Ye took a sip of tea before continuing: "The old lady just called me over, and she actually prepared all the gifts. ”
"Oh," Luo Qingran glanced at Ye in a little surprise, "You mean, grandmother has prepared a gift for you to go to the right prime minister's house for a banquet?" ”
"But isn't it," Ye Shi also seemed to be a little excited, and took a quick breath, "When I went, my mother was still worried, for fear that something would happen again and make the old lady unhappy. ”
Luo Qingran groaned slightly, and after a while, Wan Er smiled, "Isn't this a good thing, I don't know what the gifts my grandmother prepared?" ”
"It's a complete set of plum pattern thin porcelain bowls and plates, and a pair of rhino horn Fushou pattern bracelets."
Luo Qingran nodded, "This is like grandmother's behavior, precious but not stammering, just so that people can't find anything wrong, grandmother thinks very thoughtfully." ”
"Yes," Ye Shi couldn't help nodding after listening to Luo Qingran's words, "The old lady thinks that things are naturally thorough. ”
Next, the mother and daughter discussed the matter a few more words, and the Ye family went back.
At the same time, in the Furong Building of Luoxia Pavilion, Xiao Zhao's mother and daughter were also discussing this matter carefully.
Xiao Zhao was discussing with his daughter whether to make a new dress, when the wind suddenly came.
Piao Feng was summoned, and after entering the house, he first saluted Luo Wenyan respectfully, and then walked to Xiao Zhao's side, attached it to her ear, and narrated something.
"What! Are you sure the news came from the old lady's house! I saw that after Xiao Zhao listened to Piaofeng's words, he was furious and slapped the short table beside him fiercely.
"Mother, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Luo Wenyan didn't know why, but seeing that Xiao Zhao was so angry, she also knew in her heart that this matter would definitely not be small.
Xiao Zhao reluctantly suppressed a little bit of his breath, "There is a word from Yuanxiang Hall that the old lady personally chose a gift for the Ye family and asked her to take it to the right minister's mansion. After speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, looking unbearable and hateful.
"What!" Luo Wenyan was also very surprised when she heard Xiao Zhao's words.
Xiao Zhao took a breath and said in a deep voice: "The old lady is slapping me in the face!" In the past, when there was such a thing, she would prepare a valuable and decent gift for me, but this time, she called the big house, didn't she slap me in the face in front of many minions! It must be because of Mama Qin's business, the old lady is going to beat me! ”
"Mother, don't be angry, since you thought of your grandmother because of that incident, you want to beat you, you can't expose this angry emotion, when the time comes, not only will grandmother dislike you more and more, but also let the big house take advantage." Luo Wenyan gently caressed Xiao Zhao's heart and helped her to calm down.
After a while, Xiao Zhao's anger was stopped, she also knew that what her daughter said made sense, yes, this time it was a matter, although Ziyu took it by herself, but Zhao's shrewd temperament, I am afraid that she would have already doubted her, otherwise, Zhao would not have lost her face like this.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhao patted Luo Wenyan's hand, "Mother knows, don't worry, mother is measured." ”
"Yes, my daughter knows that my mother has always known it." Luo Wenyan replied with a smile.
"Hmph, let's let Dafang be proud for a few days," I don't know what came to mind, Xiao Zhao smiled gloomily, "Anyway, no matter how much money and status they have, they also have to have a life to enjoy." ”
"Exactly," Luo Wenyan also echoed with a sneer, "I don't know how much time they have to live, and let them be proud now, when they die, everything in this Luo Mansion is not ours!" ”
"Well, that's exactly what happened."
Xiao Zhao was persuaded by his daughter's words, and he had already calmed down, and now, he still had to hurry up and prepare gifts. Didn't the Zhao family pick the expensive one, then she prepared it strangely! Nothing can be said to let the big house steal the limelight.
"By the way, my daughter heard that Mrs. Right Prime Minister also worships Buddha, a few days ago, my father didn't find a white jade Guanyin pendant, originally wanted to give it to my grandmother, but then it was delayed, and it has been put in the private treasury, since my grandmother doesn't care about us, then what do we have to bother to find these things for her, it is better to give it to Mrs. Right Minister, it will be able to please her."
"That's right," Xiao Zhao nodded violently when he heard this, "If you don't say it, my mother forgot about this, so I will send this, so I can definitely cater to the preferences of Mrs. Youxiang." ”
After choosing a gift, the mother and daughter began to discuss the clothes they had just mentioned.
Xiao Zhao's mother and daughter bothered to prepare gifts here, and similarly, the third and fourth rooms also pondered a lot in the selection of gifts.
It's too expensive, they can't bear it, but they can't be shabby, they want to make people laugh, so the Lu family and the Su family have been worried about this matter for several days. Finally, on the 18th day, the gifts to be given were chosen.
The three-room Lu family chose a gold wire inlaid gemstone jade to send the son Guanyin to pick the heart, and the four-room Su family chose a small leaf red sandalwood ornament.
However, an invitation card led to many things in Luofu, and everyone has their own selfish thoughts or goals.
The reason why everyone takes this famous post so seriously is also because of the Li family's current status in Huajing.
The current head of the Li family, Li Yi, the right minister, is in power and opposition, the power is monstrous, and there is the support of the queen in the palace.
Although the Luo family's status today does not need to please the Li family, they still can't ignore it after receiving the name of the Li family.
