Chapter XXIV

The tenth day of February is Mrs. Du's birthday.

On this day, Mei Ru got up early and followed Qiao's to pay homage to the old lady.

In Chunxi Hall, there is a lively group, several brothers in the second room are there, the youngest brother Qi has just learned to walk, the golden little jacket he is wearing today, and his hands are held together like meat dumplings, and he is congratulating his ancestors on his birthday. Du Shi smiled from ear to ear, and the wrinkles on his face stretched a lot. Qiao Shi also laughed, laughing and laughing, and couldn't help but think of Mei Xiang who was far away. Mei Xiang has been gone for more than ten days, and he hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what happened to him...... Just thinking about it, Qiao Shi felt that the smile on his face could not be suppressed.

After a few brothers, it was the turn of a few girls.

The eldest girl Mei Yun is a lake blue skirt today, quiet and quiet, similar to her temperament, the second girl Mei Qian is always silver-white, the whole person is more and more dusty, like a fairy, and the remaining two small ones, the third girl Mei Ru and the fourth girl Mei Ping, the color is much more gorgeous and outstanding.

The four girls stood there, water and bright, just making people happy just by looking at it, Du Shi still smiled from ear to ear, and it was rare to be much gentler to Mei Ru.

People congratulating their birthdays arrived one after another, and the Chunxi Hall became more and more lively.

Today's birthday greetings are all old ladies and housewives from all over the capital, sitting there talking leisurely, but their eyes are not idle at all, and they look at the four girls in Meifu from time to time. β€”β€”The Dingguo Mansion has three generations of hereditary national princes, although it is not very good in Mei Yin's generation, but Mei Erye's career is good, and it is good if he can form a family relationship with Mei Mansion. Now that the eldest girl has made a family appointment, the fourth girl is young, and the remaining second and third girls should take a good and careful look.

These people knew that Mei Qian was beautiful, but when they saw it today, they were more and more shocked.

I saw her graceful posture, hiring Tingting, as she got older, she became more and more beautiful, just standing there, people couldn't take their eyes off, plus a little sickly condensed between her eyebrows, it was really a pitiful heart. Moreover, this second girl from Meifu is proper and gentle, and she is a good choice for a daughter-in-law.

The only thing that is not very appropriate is that these two girls are too beautiful, but their bodies are not very good......

Everyone thought about it a few times, and then turned their eyes to Mei Ru, and at first glance, they were slightly surprised.

The third girl of Meifu was originally a stubborn girl who loved to mess around, and she occupied the word "delicate" in the circle of nobles in the capital.

Mei Ru is one year younger than Mei Qian, last year was still a little girl ball, now turned the new year, the body suddenly grew a lot, the original round face also slimmed down, lined with a pair of peach blossom eyes more and more colorful, a blink of a little, is looking forward to the brilliance, between the flow of eye waves, more than a few points of delicate and bright, and the clothes she wears are also bright, but the three girls can be suppressed, people do not feel vulgar, but she stands there lazily, every move, romantic and coquettish, unspeakably wanton.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly, it is really the eighteenth change of the female university, and this Meisan girl is really getting more and more beautiful!

I just don't know this nature...... It's not better.

Immediately looking away, everyone smiled thoughtfully.

While talking, other girls from various provinces also arrived one after another. Meng Yunlan really offered a picture of 100 longevity, and everyone was full of praise when they saw it, and when Zhou Suqing came, they didn't let it go, and directly offered a congratulatory birthday article, and even Xiao Qiao's nodded and said yes. With Xiao Qiao's affirmation, this article was directly transmitted to the front.

The best Chinese in front of everyone is Meng An. After he read it, he also felt that this article was well written, and Zhou Suqing received countless praises for a while.

But the man just smiled, standing there without arrogance or impatience, and was the most gentle.

Mei Ru didn't bother to look at this person, she turned her head lightly and only looked outside.

Zhou Suqing was aware of one or two, and at this time, Ying Ying looked over and asked with a smile: "Sister Ru, but do you have any advice?" ”

If she doesn't provoke this person, this person will come to provoke her! Mei Ru frowned and sighed.

"Don't dare." She looked over calmly and replied, "Sister Zhou's literary talent and character are good, I can't compare to it." ”

Although she said this praise, it was full of thorns, and where could a room of people not hear it? Zhou Suqing is one of the most dignified and decent in the capital, and Mei Ru is one of the best in the capital and is one of the most delicate and willful in the capital.

Mei Ru sneered again.

She was just too lazy to look at this person, if Zhou Suqing was really dignified and decent this week, then how could she ask Mei Ru before? How can you care about this?

It's clearly for everyone to see!

Mei Ru was too lazy to argue with Zhou Suqing about these vain things, she lazily withdrew from Chunxi Hall and went to the back garden.

At this time, many young ladies of the same age are strolling around the garden. I saw Sister Yan of He Mansion and Xie Jiaxuan, the third girl of Xiping Bo Mansion, holding hands, I don't know what to mutter, and my stunned gaze brushed over from time to time, as if I was glancing somewhere.

Mei Ru was curious, and the next time they glanced over again, she looked overβ€”

Mei Ru couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that they were glancing at their big sister Mei Yun.

Mei Yun is the quietest personality and never fights or grabs. She was now sitting alone in the pavilion next to her, and she was too embarrassed to talk to others. As if aware of the two inquiring glances, she kept her head down, and her face was already quietly a little uncomfortably red, looking embarrassed and embarrassed.

Mei Ru was suspicious.

Mei Yun has already made a family appointment with Xie Ke, the concubine in the second room of Xipingbo Mansion, is this Sister Xuan's displeasure too obvious?

Thinking of the last time when she congratulated Zhou Suqing on her birthday in the He Mansion, Sister Xuan also looked like she was ignoring the answers, Mei Ru couldn't help frowning, what is going on in this Xie Mansion?

Mei Ru walked to the pavilion, went to the side of the eldest sister and said, "Big sister, let's go shopping." ”

Knowing that she was coming to relieve herself, Mei Yun raised her head and smiled.

Mei Ru was worried about this matter in Xie Mansion, and said to Qiao's family that day and night: "Mother, Sister Xuan of Xipingbo Mansion doesn't seem to like the eldest sister very much, is there something going on in their mansion?" Mother, do you want to inquire? ”

Qiao Shi couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "You have a lot of care for a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet!" He nodded at Mei Ru's brain, and said: "Follow, look at Sister Qian'er, I saw you today, who is not boasting?" What about you? Hide in one place with Yunlan's little girl and eat! I just came to face Miss Zhou! As soon as he said this, Qiao Shi was angry, "Follow, when will you put away your temper?" When can I save my mind? ”

Mei Ru's eyes rolled, and she whispered: "Mother, Yunlan and her aunt are going to visit her uncle in Shaanxi, and I also want to go to see my brother, and by the way, I can increase my knowledge along the way, maybe I can take a temper and save my worries." ”

Qiao's brows furrowed even tighter: "What does it look like for a girl to run out all day long?" ”

"What's wrong with the girl's house?" Mei Ru retorted, "There is still a precedent for women to be officials in our Great Wei Dynasty, and my aunt's knowledge is not comparable to many men......

Qiao Shi couldn't talk about her crooked reasoning, but said, "Anyway, you are not allowed to go!" ”

As soon as Qiao's attitude hardened, Mei Ru softened, and hurriedly got into her arms and coaxed: "Mother, I just miss my brother......"

As soon as Mei Ru mentioned Mei Xiang like this, Qiao's eyes turned a little red again. She said angrily: "Your ruthless brother is also a hard-hearted person, and he doesn't even bring back a message this time, it's really annoying!" Qiao Shi wiped her tears as she spoke, and when she saw the eyes next to her, she sighed and poked her head hard, only to feel still angry.

Qiao Shi waved his hand and said: "Go, go, you all go to the place where the sword and gun don't have long eyes, it's better not to come back!" ”

Qiao's is a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, she is accurate when she says so, Mei Ru was happy in her heart, pursed her lips and snickered, but she didn't dare to get carried away, she hurriedly smiled, and only concentrated on coaxing Qiao's to be happy.
