CHAPTER XXXI

The birthday banquet of the ancestor of the Marquis of Suning is no better than that of ordinary people, the ancestor of the Marquis of Suning was born in the royal family, although the mother's family has been staying in the fiefdom, but has always been loyal to the royal family, and the two generations of emperors are also tolerant of the ancestors' mother's family, and are willing to give a few more relatives thin noodles. Because of this relationship, her birthday banquet is by no means as simple as an ordinary family, the emperor's rewards will never be less, and most of the royal clans who are familiar with each other in Beijing will also come.

Acacia followed He's eyes without drifting, she had never participated in such a banquet in her previous life or in this life, almost all her body spirits were high, so nervous that she didn't dare to relax, but she didn't want to leave a rash impression, since she wanted a good reputation in her life, she couldn't give Amber Mansion a shame at this birthday banquet.

He saw that the children were well-behaved and sensible, and he did not show curiosity and inquiry, and secretly sighed in private, she did not often participate in such birthday banquets, after all, the earl and the marquis are still different in rank, and the county lord and county king are not very common on weekdays, who knows if there will be any princesses and princes at the birthday banquet of the ancestors, they do not ask for friendship, as long as they can complete the process safely, at most they hope to leave a good impression on everyone. Girls, they have a good reputation but not too much.

Mrs. Hou was interested in Acacia but just asked a few more words, and then guests came one after another, so she asked her subordinates to beckon He to go out by herself, after all, the later the guests of the birthday banquet came, the higher the status, and she was not good to continue to be lazy.

He took the three girls to sit in the hall, and they were still a little restrained, but when the people who were slowly acquainted came, they gradually let go of the gathering and became a small circle. She watched the fourth grandmother walk in with Meng Qizhen, and after a while, He's niece also came in with He's sister-in-law, and the corner of the originally quiet hall suddenly became lively.

"Has the little county lord been in contact with you lately?" Meng Qizhen likes to run out on weekdays, Chengping Bofu has few girls, and she is very favored, so she has developed such a cheerful and outgoing temperament, not to mention that it is not good, but in the end it is a little casual, but it is difficult for the adults in the family to find out and then want to grasp it.

Acacia saw her asking, and when she didn't say anything, she could only reply: "She was not in good health before, and then something happened again, which shocked the princess." The princess kept detaining her in the house, and it was inconvenient to come out, but the letters were not broken. ”

"Is she coming now?" Meng Qizhen asked.

Acacia didn't know what it meant, but she still nodded and said: "After all, her family is related to the ancestor of the Suning Hou Mansion, so she should come." ”

"Sanniang...... Have you seen her brother? Meng Qizhen bit her lip and asked in a low voice.

Acacia has only seen Li Yunluo's eldest brother Li Mingzhang, the prince of Yujun, and the other two concubines have never met each other. 、

"I haven't seen it."

Meng Xintong only felt that Meng Qizhen's words were inappropriate, so he answered: "How old is Sanniang, don't you want to kidnap her, let's say, what kind of moth will come out today?" ”

Meng Qizhen was asked by Meng Xintong, and her expression was a little sneering: "It's not my business, but you also know that I recently made a friend who happened to be her eldest sister discussing marriage, and the other party seemed to be the second son of Yujun Wangfu, I thought Sanniang had seen it, so I secretly came to ask one or two, I didn't mean anything else." ”

Meng Qizhen is righteous by nature, and they don't feel that she has any bad intentions, but she can marry the second son of Yujun Wangfu, and Meng Qizhen, a new friend, is afraid that she is also from an extraordinary background.

"You're talking about the daughter of the Imperial Palace?" Meng Xintong seems to have heard of this, the new emperor ascended the throne of the imperial court, some old ministers resigned and returned to their hometowns, and some official positions were vacant, just so that the emperor promoted some of his own people to fill them, and this governor was recently promoted from the local government.

"Isn't it? We are also fated, she and her brother came from out of town and met a liar on the way and happened to be seen by me, where can I let go of these wicked people, it is naturally a hero to save the beauty......" Speaking of this, Meng Qizhen was very proud, so much so that the girls laughed.

"It's an adventure, how can you meet anything?" He Shuyao covered her mouth with her sleeve and smiled.

"That's because I'm chivalrous! Ay...... If I hadn't given birth to the wrong gender, I'm afraid I would have been able to fight the sword rivers and lakes a long time ago and do a great career that shocked the earth and cried ghosts and gods! Meng Qizhen said energetically, and he was full of arrogance for a while.

"Yes, yes, why don't you say that Master Fu is following behind, and the liar is also beaten away?" He Shuyao dismantled the stage mercilessly.

Meng Qizhen didn't know whether she was annoyed or ashamed, her face turned red and she said with a stiff neck: "Even if I don't have him, I can beat that liar away!" ”

The women laughed again.

"Today's old birthday star is coming out!"

At this time, I don't know who shouted, the girls quickly stood up and looked behind the screen in the hall, and the grandmother who had never seen Zhuang Jinyuan was also curious, but when she looked up, the cuffs were secretly tugged.

Acacia turned around and saw He Shuyao looking at her with flushed cheeks, and quietly avoided everyone and asked her in a low voice: "Sanniang, do you know Zhuang Shizi?" ”

"I've had a few encounters." The news that she saved Zhuang Jinyuan did not spread, otherwise it would be harmful to her reputation.

He ...... What kind of person is he? He Shuyao pulled the handkerchief, lowered her head and asked.

Acacia glanced at her and said lightly: "Nice big brother." ”

"Are you familiar with him? Otherwise...... This birthday banquet ...... "He Shuyao couldn't wait to bite off her tongue, this really shouldn't come from her mouth, but she wanted to know the relationship between Acacia and Zhuang Jinyuan too much, so she couldn't care about anything.

"It's probably for the sake of my eldest brother's face, after all, I live in my eldest sister's mansion now." Acacia is thorough, but it can only be explained vaguely.

Fortunately, He Shuyao also believed it, and even secretly relaxed.

Acacia didn't pay attention to her anymore, looked up and looked into the distance, an old lady who was over half a hundred years old was being helped out by Mrs. Hou, and she was accompanied by an old man of her age who was also supported by a solemnly dressed woman.

As soon as Meng Xintong saw the old man beside Mrs. Zhuang, her pupils shrank, and she quickly glanced at Acacia and subconsciously pulled Acacia to her side.

As the two old ladies approached, Acacia also felt that one of them was very kind.

"Princess Yujun has arrived!"

"The old lady of the Chunjun Palace's mansion has arrived!"

“……”

Acacia is now clear, and it is no wonder that the two old men will come to the door to greet them, it turns out that people from the royal clan are here.

The birthday star went to the door, and it was impossible for them to stay where they were, so He came over and led them to greet them with the fourth grandmother, and for a while, the sound of greeting was rolling like a wave, and it shook the ears numb.

The first to come in was the old lady of the Chunjun Palace, who was older than the old birthday star of the Suning Hou Mansion, with snow-white hair in a meticulous bun on her head, and her golden head was not inlaid with any gemstones, and she really liked pure gold as rumored.

"It turned out to be this one, I heard that her son and daughter-in-law died early, so she left a grandson to support the palace, and her grandson is not weak yet!"

I don't know who said a word later, and then I was pulled and shut up.

Her husband died early, her son and daughter-in-law are gone, and now she can only use her old body to shield her grandson from the wind and rain, and she is really an extraordinary woman.

The old people greeted each other when they saw nature, and those around them who were of low grade and couldn't come forward to talk only laughed. He saw that those nobles couldn't think of them for a while, so he took the four grandmothers and them to take a step back, which also saved the delay of those female relatives who wanted to flatter, and maybe even let people step on the uppers.

Acacia has to lean against the window when she retreats, but she is also happy that no one pays attention to it.

Slightly tilted her head, Acacia stiffened for a moment, if it weren't for her belief that she was deaf and clear-headed, and thought that there was some hallucination, Zhuang Jinyuan Li Mingzhang also took his two cousins to climb down from the roof of a corner silently, if it wasn't for Acacia This angle just happened to see, it would be really hidden tight. It's just that it's not surprising that Zhuang Jinyuan and a few of them did this, the eldest prince of Mo Limo with an unfathomable face actually folded his clothes on his belt, and rolled down the roof seriously, and felt that his stomach was about to hurt.

"What is Sanniang looking at?" Meng Qizhen beside him squeezed over and asked.

Acacia hurriedly turned his head, stared at the big innocent eyes and shook his head, "I'm wondering when the big tree outside will sprout." ”

Meng Qizhen leaned against the window and looked out, there was really no one in the courtyard except for the next person.

"What the are you doing little girl!"

Acacia didn't say much, as if he shyly hid in Meng Xintong's arms.

"What are you looking at! Hurry up, don't let anyone find out. ”

Mo Liang retracted his gaze, and he found that so many people didn't notice it, they had already been seen.

"If you're afraid of finding out, just go through the front door."

Zhuang Jinyuan pulled him over, gritted his teeth and said, "What you say is nonsense, if the backyard is okay."

"Then are you sure that Ling Ci knows that you led a group of people over the wall just to see the two cousins of the second young man of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and she won't break your legs?" Mo Liang pushed Zhuang Jinyuan's hand away in disgust and said coldly.

Zhuang Jinyuan only felt a chill in his neck, and said vaguely: "If I hadn't seen it last time, I wouldn't have made this decision this time." ”

"It's just the beauty that is said outside, and we're really out of it." Li Mingzhang is usually restless, how can he not participate in such a fun thing at this time?

Zhuang Jinyuan didn't dare to say that he was accompanying Meng Huoran to spy on his sister, and he had to admit the rumor that he was lustful and didn't want to die!

Beauty? Mo Liang stood aside, and suddenly remembered the petite figure by the window just now.
