Yin Jiu Kill looked at her face: "Actually, if you don't paint any makeup, it's the best." ”

Feng Jinghua nodded: "The hero sees the same thing. ”

Both of them smiled, picked up their glasses, saluted each other in the air, and drank down.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs, and there was a faint sound of exclamation, and the two looked down and saw that the most famous dart bureau in Shangguo, the Yueyun Dart Bureau, was escorting dozens of loaded carriages passing downstairs, attracting the attention of countless pedestrians.

They sat on the second floor, and the downstairs was quite noisy, and they could hear the pedestrians talking.

"I heard that these things are all gifts for Mrs. Lan's 80th birthday."

"Nonsense, these are clearly the goods that the Lan family brought back from the Western Regions."

"Ahem, you don't understand, half of these treasures are goods, and half of them are congratulatory gifts from merchants from the Western Regions to Mrs. Lan. Mrs. Lan is about to celebrate her eightiesth birthday in a few days, I heard that the emperor will also come, the Lan family has a big face this time, who doesn't want to take this opportunity to please Mrs. Lan The Lan family has a huge business network in the Western Regions, and the merchants in the Western Regions also have to express a little meaning no"

"Eighty years of life, seventy years of life, this old lady Lan is really long-lived, I heard that she is also physically tough now, her brain is shrewd, and she has the final say in the affairs of the Lan family."

When Feng Jinghua heard these discussions, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Jiu Killing: "The emperor is also going to attend Mrs. Lan's birthday."

In public, she still wants to call Qiu Yexian "the emperor".

"I think it will." Yin Jiu Kill said lightly, "I have already received the invitation from the Lan family, and you should receive it soon." ”

Feng Jinghua thought thoughtfully: "The Lan family's face is really big. ”

No matter how favored the Lan family is, it is not a top noble, and it is very rare for the emperor to visit the birthday of his subjects.

Yin Jiu said: "Last year, the Central Plains was in drought, and the Lan family donated a large number of materials, and launched a huge disaster relief donation activity in the business community, raising more than three million taels of silver worth of money and materials, and made great contributions to the Central Plains to survive the drought. The emperor came to Mrs. Lan's birthday in person, presumably to reward the contribution of the Lan family. ”

Feng Jinghua said: "Will you attend?"

Yin Jiu said: "Yes." ”

Although he does his own thing, he is not really a little unsophisticated, the Lan family is his in-law, and he has gotten along well with the underworld in the past few years, the Lan family helped a large number of victims last year, and has a very high reputation among the people, so he will not even give this face.

Feng Jinghua smiled: "If the Lan family invites me, then I will go too." ”

Regardless of whether the Lan family's relief to the victims last year was sincere or false, she would pay tribute to it.

Yin Jiu Kill smiled slightly: "Then I'll see you then." ”

Half an hour later, the two of them left Tianxianglou and returned to their homes separately.

As soon as Feng Jinghua returned to Feng Mansion, the housekeeper sent a red gilded invitation, which was really the invitation of the Lan family to attend Mrs. Lan's 80th birthday.

Feng Jinghua closed the invitation card and said to the housekeeper: "I will attend the Lan family's birthday, as for the congratulatory gift, you look at the preparation." ”

Mrs. Lan is a legend in the capital, and before she retired, her limelight and reputation were not lost to Feng Jinghua at all.

Mrs. Lan's maiden name is Qiu Mianmian, and when you look at this surname, you know that she also has royal blood.

Qiu Mianmian's grandfather is a side branch of the royal family, although he is not a big person, but he is also a real prince, because he was punished by a big case, he was demoted to a lord, so the family fell into the middle, and the Lan family at that time was already rich, and urgently needed to improve the family's bloodline and social status, so he asked for the eldest son of the family to marry Qiu Mianmian.

No matter how depressed Qiu's father was, he also adhered to the pride of the royal family and did not want his daughter to marry the Shangjia family, but Qiu Mianmian, who was only sixteen years old at the time, secretly investigated the Lan family but felt that this marriage was good, and tried to persuade his father to propose two conditions to the Lan family to marry her: first, without her permission, her husband must not take a concubine, and second, her husband must inherit the family business.

It stands to reason that the eldest son of the Lan family will definitely inherit the family business, but at that time, the Lan family had many sons, and the infighting was strict, and the eldest son was not the most talented and prestigious son, so he might not be able to inherit the family business.

And the two conditions proposed by Qiu Mianmian can be regarded as shocking.

There was a fierce debate within the Lan family about this, and in the end, the head of the Lan family felt that the Lan family had many heirs, talents, and no bad money at all, and now the most lacking thing was social status and noble blood, and the two conditions proposed by Qiu Mianmian had no actual damage to the Lan family, and the advantages of achieving this marriage outweighed the disadvantages, so he accepted Qiu Mianmian's conditions.

In this way, Qiu Mianmian, who is both talented and beautiful, married into the Lan family.

In the first few years of marrying into the Lan family, Qiu Mianmian was filial to her in-laws, cared for her juniors, advanced and retreated appropriately, did not leak anything, and her stomach was also angry, her husband's daughter, her son was born later, and she was very well educated, the Lan family did not praise her, even her husband respected her very much, and she established her status and popularity in the Lan family.

But after her husband became the head of the family, she began to show her super business talent and ambition, moving from the inner house to the outer house, quickly crushing her husband in talent, achievements and authority, and becoming the real master of the Lan family.

Under her decades of painstaking management, the Lan family rose from the richest man in the local area to the richest man in Jiangnan, and then to the richest man in the world, and became a real royal noble.

For such a woman, Feng Jinghua also admires it from the bottom of her heart.

It is rare to have the opportunity to meet Mrs. Lan, who has been in seclusion for many years, and Feng Jinghua does not want to miss this opportunity.

Three days later, Feng Jinghua was dressed in a light blue suit, carrying gifts, and went to the Lanfu mansion in a carriage.

In front of the main entrance of the Lan Mansion is a long street, and the Lan Mansion occupies an entire side of this street, which shows the wide area of the mansion.

Feng Jinghua only went out on time, and it was neither early nor late when she arrived on this street, but her carriage had to stop at the corner of the street, because both sides of this street were already full of all kinds of carriages and sedan chairs, and if she wanted to go to Lan's house, she could only walk there.

Feng Jinghua pulled on the veil, took a few maids and guards dressed in casual clothes, and walked through the passage between the carriage and the palanquin.

Walking on this passage with her, there were many guests from famous families, Feng Jinghua looked at those guests and the carriages and sedan chairs on both sides, and said secretly, I am afraid that the characters with a little status and status in Tianzhou are here, and the scene is huge, perhaps only the important people in the palace can compare.

Mrs. Lan is not a high-profile and flamboyant person, and this birthday party is so grand, I am afraid that it was ordered by the emperor.

Qiu Yexian may want to take this opportunity to express his attitude towards the Lan family's relief victims, and set an example and benchmark for other wealthy families.

No matter how many grievances she has with Qiu Yexian, Qiu Yexian is a good emperor in the eyes of the people.

Whispers rang out on both sides, and the people were watching her and talking about her again.

She turns a blind eye, hears but does not hear, she lives for herself, works hard for important people, and people other than important people are no different from her and the stones, grass and trees, cats and dogs on the side of the road.

Outside the gate of the Lan family, many brightly dressed subordinates were greeting guests.

Feng Jinghua handed out her invitation, and after the person who greeted her read it, her face was more surprised and respectful: "Miss Feng, please here."
