The eighth day of December is Xia Xue'er's birthday, last year's birthday because Bai Yining intended to frame her and Mu Xuanlong, who did not know the identity at the time, were a pair of stealing/loving young boys and girls, and the house held the intention of seeing her husband's family for her, and she still had the favor of the old lady, so she held a lively plum banquet with great fanfare. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is different from the past, this year's birthday, compared with previous years, is naturally a lot simpler.

Now the old lady in the house is in charge of the feed, and this year is only half a full birthday, the old lady naturally will not bother to organize a dinner with her, when she got up in the morning to say goodbye, she just rewarded a hosta meaningfully, said a few polite words, and then the matter passed.

After returning from the old lady's livable pavilion, before she stepped into the room, Dongmei sat on the low stool with an unhappy face.

"What is this! Since the day when I beat the slave and served the young lady, I have never seen such a bleak birthday! ”

If it's just an old lady, then it's fine, and those aunts who are obedient and pleasing on weekdays dare to follow the wrong thing!

Xia Xue'er handed the hand stove to Qiu Ju, and let Cuizhu take off her cloak, then she smiled slightly, and sat down next to Dongmei, she didn't have the slightest anger, only persuaded in a calm tone: "Why be unhappy about these little things?" As long as our master and servant can be together, the rest of us are nothing! ”

"yes, we don't care!"

Qiu Ju put down the hand stove, patted Dongmei's shoulder with her hand, leaned her face in front of her and said this, Dongmei was really not so angry, unconsciously raised her chin, and showed a proud look in her eyes.

Listening to all the treasures in Yuxuan, people with affection and righteousness gathered together, who cares about the attitude of that cool person? !

After lunch, the reward in the palace came down, and the third lady was named to receive it in person, but the old lady had no choice but to send a maid to invite her to the main hall.

It is some small ornaments rewarded by the queen's mother, but it is not a very precious thing, but it is just a small birthday but it alarmed this Zhenggong Niangniang, who has only one side, and it is indeed a great honor for the Hou Mansion.

After receiving the gift, Mrs. Xia glanced at Mama Gui, and Mama Gui took out a reward purse from her sleeve and offered it with both hands.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law going on this trip, this idea is in my mind, and I will accept it and buy a tea to eat!"

The father-in-law who delivered the decree also took the purse, bent down and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mrs. Xie rewards, the Sajia retires." ”

"Father-in-law walks slowly."

The old lady stood at the head, but as if she had been ignored, as soon as the person left, her face fell, she glanced at Mama Gui hatefully, and then moved her eyes to her daughter-in-law, and said hatefully: "I am quite good at looking at people's faces!" ”

Mrs. Xia smiled slightly, but ignored it. This reward is an unwritten rule that has existed since ancient times, she is the wife of the marquis, and the emperor's imperial decree lady, from the grade is higher than the old lady who has no decree, this reward to the palace is naturally her to do. Besides, I didn't see that the old lady had any signs of wanting to take out her purse, so she let Mama Gui reward her, and she didn't do anything wrong in her senses, and the old lady blamed herself for stealing the limelight from her at this time, isn't it unreasonable?

"After standing here for a long time, my mother-in-law may be tired, and my daughter-in-law is waiting for you to go back to the house to rest!"

When Mrs. Xia said this, she looked respectful, but without the slightest humility, her hands were folded in front of her lower abdomen, and there was an elegant smile on her face. On the other hand, the old lady's anger seems to be relying on the old and selling the old, and she is unreasonable!

Even if she was not happy in her heart, she couldn't do anything to her, the old lady could only wave her sleeves, attract Shuang'er to help, and walked straight to the back hall.

Before the person walked out of the main hall, another maid came here to report, saying that someone from the palace had come. The old lady could only hold back her anger, turned around again, and whispered in her mouth: Why is it here again!

The person who came this time, Xia Xue'er knew it, and that was Aunt Yunxi, Sun Guifei's personal maid.

Yunxi was followed by two palace maids, holding a red cloth hollow carved edge tray in their hands, and bowed when they entered the main hall, "The slave maid greets the old lady, the lady, and the third lady." Although all three of them were called, the direction of their bodies was towards Mrs. Xia on the left side of the old lady.

The old lady naturally noticed this, but she still endured the unhappiness in her heart, and said before her daughter-in-law, "Auntie, please get up." ”

"Knowing that today is the birthday of the third lady of your mansion, the concubine Niangniang specially ordered the slave maid to send a red coral in the East China Sea, a pair of purple gold agate bracelets, a Hetian warm jade hairpin and a topaz carved hook to congratulate the third lady on her birthday!"

"Thank you for the reward!"

Everyone saluted in the direction of the imperial city, and Cuizhu and Gui Mama stepped forward to take the salute from the palace maid.

The old lady glanced at Shuang'er, Shuang'er retreated quietly, she immediately stepped forward, and said to Yunxi with a smile: "Auntie has worked hard all the way, and drink a cup of hot tea before leaving." ”

Yunxi gave a blessing, and refused to say: "I won't drink the tea, the concubine is waiting for the slave to return to life, and I really don't dare to delay too much." ”

After speaking, his eyes fell on the small table behind him, on which was placed a carved edge tray also made of rosewood, but it was covered with yellow brocade. frowned slightly, then returned to her earlier calm look, turned her head to look at Xia Xue'er, and said: "Niangniang will inevitably be bored in the palace, so let the third lady have the time to hand over a post into the palace, talk to Niangniang, and relieve boredom!" ”

Xia Xueer nodded and replied "yes" respectfully.

This time, the old lady acted quickly, and before Mama Gui made a move, she asked Shuang'er to take out her purse and stuff it to Aunt Yunxi, and after thanking her, her face was better, but it made Yunxi silently mock in her heart. This purse is also very hot in my hand, and when I leave the house, I will give it to the palace maid who came with me.

After that, there were congratulatory gifts from the Ninth Princess, Concubine Jingxian and even Ning Wangfu one after another.

These nine princesses gave gifts to congratulate, Xia Xue'er can still figure it out, after all, they are a family after the New Year, but this Concubine Jingxian and King Ning are a little unpredictable, especially His Royal Highness King Ning, in general, she only had a relationship at Yu Yingxi's birthday banquet, and said three or two sentences, but there is no more involvement, how can it not be his turn to give a noble prince to give her such a humble courtier a gift to celebrate her birthday, right? !

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! (To be continued.) )
