Chapter 172: Birthday Day
A hearty laugh came, and when everyone in the hall heard the voice, they saw the oncoming Marquis of Changrong and the second master.
"I haven't been to the Hou Mansion for a long time, but when I see it today, it really looks like spring all year round." The second old man sighed sincerely, he didn't know why, he just felt that today's Hou Mansion seemed vibrant, not as restrained and gloomy as when he came before.
"Hehehe, Shu'er is doing well." Today's Marquis Changrong is particularly happy.
The old lady heard the voice of the second master from a distance, and she slowly walked out with a smile on her face, "Oh, the second master is also here?" ”
"Mother, the second brother and I left the palace together, maybe I haven't had dinner with them for a long time, I have ordered someone to pick up the second brother and sister and Cheng Xi, and the family is happy today." Marquis Changrong happened to meet the second master in the palace, and when he came back, he invited him back to the house, although he didn't want to be too grand, but now there are only three more people, just right, the old lady also muttered that she hadn't seen Young Master Xi for a few days.
"Okay, come on, put three more dishes and chopsticks!"
In the corner, Liu Yunhua watched quietly, the second uncle also came? And brought that annoying Yoo Chengxi?
Hmph, although he has nothing to do with his second uncle, but since they sent it to the door by themselves, it can only be said that it is bad luck, and God will do so, that Liu Chengxi has played tricks on himself many times in the past, and today, maybe he will ask him back with interest.
The second master was keenly aware that someone was watching him in the dark, and when he followed that gaze, he found Liu Yunhua's silver-white dress.
Second Miss She ...... Coming back?
Speaking of which, so many things have happened in the Changrong Marquis Mansion, he hasn't seen the second miss for a long time, just looking at it from such a distance, he feels that Liu Yunhua seems to have changed a lot.
In the past, she seemed to be surrounded by peach blossoms, with a sense of pride, but now, although she had a modest smile on her face, there seemed to be a kind of solemnity around her.
The old lady and Changrong Hou noticed the second master's gaze, and then lowered their voices, "Yunhua, I haven't come to see your second uncle yet." ”
Liu Yunhua took a deep breath, okay, it will be nothing after tonight.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunhua slowly stepped forward with a different tone, "Second uncle." ”
Yes, even the second master felt that the strange feeling in her heart was a little uncomfortable, and her eyes seemed to reveal a sense of sympathy.
Sympathize? The second master felt that perhaps the death of the sister-in-law hit her too hard, which made her have so much sadness in her eyes.
"Second Miss, I haven't seen you for many days, and your complexion doesn't seem to be very good."
"Thank you Second Uncle for your concern, Yunhua is just infected with the wind and cold at night, and it is fine." The corners of Liu Yunhua's mouth hooked slightly, she knew what was going to happen tonight, and she was afraid that it would not be her second uncle's turn to care.
A carriage slowly stopped outside the Marquis Changrong Mansion, and the old housekeeper smiled, "Old lady, master, the second lady and Young Master Xi have arrived!" ”
"Oh? Hurry up, let me see if Cheng Xi has grown taller. ”
The old lady's face couldn't help but show a look of love, and she saw that not far away, the two figures gradually approached, and the coquettish voice came, "Grandmother! ”
"Cheng Xi? Hehe, slow down! ”
Liu Chengxi trotted towards the old lady, and only he dared to be so intimate and casual to the old lady. You must know that the Eighth Young Master and the Ninth Young Master are in awe of her from the bottom of their hearts.
And because he is the only bloodline in the second room, the old lady thought that this grandson would not survive, and she didn't want him to be blessed with a great life, so the old lady cherished Liu Chengxi very much.
"Young Master Xi!" The second lady behind her gave a look, Liu Chengxi stuck out her tongue mischievously, turned around and walked towards Changrong Hou, and bowed respectfully, "I wish my uncle happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!" ”
This voice is louder than anything else.
"Oh, good, good! Cheng Xi is really getting better and better at talking! Marquis Changrong smiled, maybe because Liu Chengxi was young, so he wouldn't show too much of a stern look.
"Come, is Cheng Xi hungry? Grandmother asked the dining room to serve the food early. ”
"Hungry!" Liu Chengxi snorted coquettishly, took the old lady's hand and sat down at the big round table, which immediately caused a burst of laughter. However, he seemed to think of something, "By the way, grandmother, what about Sister Shu?" Cheng Xi wants to sit next to Sister Shu! ”
"Hehehe, good, good!"
Liu Yunhua seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, just standing there in isolation, she only felt that Liu Chengxi's smile was very dazzling, Sister Shu all day long, as the eldest son of the second room, why was he so good with that concubine.
But it doesn't matter, since he likes that Liu Yunshu so much, tonight, he will send them down together, don't thank yourself.
The old lady's courtyard seemed to be more and more lively, the eighth young master and the ninth young master had already been brought over by the grandmothers, Liu Yunyao was also very conscious, just standing there cautiously, she looked around, and when Yunshu appeared, she dared to go to the round table and sit down.
The old lady and the Marquis of Changrong, the second old man and the second lady went to the table, Liu Yunhua was not hypocritical, she still maintained the demeanor of a concubine, but sat down next to the second lady. She knew that her father wouldn't like to let her sit next to him.
couldn't help but look elsewhere, what about Liu Yunshu? If she doesn't come today, she won't be able to perform a good show.
However, after a while, the light figure finally appeared in everyone's sight.
Behind Yun Shu, the fifth aunt was holding the infant tenth young master, followed by three maids, and the fourth aunt followed, Liu Yunqing was still expressionless next to her.
Liu Yunhua's eyes flashed, and after seeing Liu Yunqing, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a smile.
The other party has a pink silk handkerchief hanging around her waist, and she has explained that as long as she succeeds in poisoning those dishes, then she will hang a silk to sue herself.
The smile on the corner of her mouth looked a little gloomy and hideous in the night, and her eyes turned to the side, and when she looked at Yun Shu, she didn't want the two to look at each other. At that second, she was unnatural for a moment, but after thinking about it, she had explained to Liu Yunqing that she must start when no one is around.
The good thing about this medicine is that the puppet will be absolutely obedient to his orders. Besides, no one knew that they had been in contact with the man in black, so how could they have thought that tonight's father's birthday banquet would be the parting banquet of the entire Hou Mansion.
Don't blame her for being ruthless, they forced this qiē!
My grandmother has already prepared a qiē, as long as she succeeds, she will order someone to arrange for a few assassins to enter the mansion, pretending that there has been a fight here, and when the time comes, the court will track it down, and the Changrong Marquis Mansion will be washed in the blood of the assassins, and the collective poison will be killed, and she will be the only one who escapes by luck.
And the people of the entire Hou Mansion will not be spared, naturally it will be a bloodbath, and there will be no living mouth.
And what makes Liu Yunhua happy is that her eldest brother Liu Yunfeng was sent by Changronghou to investigate some things at the border a few days ago, otherwise, it would be difficult for her to do it today.
It's just right, and when the eldest brother comes back, he will naturally come up with a set of rhetoric.
General Weiyuan's wife because of the death of her daughter, has completely broken with the Changrong Marquis Mansion, she wants to make the old lady of Changrong Marquis pay the most thorough price, this is her style of acting, no one can offend the Weiyuan General's Mansion and retreat, in the past, it was seen that the two families were in-laws, and now ......
"Shu'er, come, Cheng Xi, this kid is clamoring to sit with you."
The old lady smiled and pointed to the position beside Liu Chengxi. The corner of Yun Shu's eyes never left Liu Yunhua, she floated over quietly, sat down, Liu Chengxi's sweet smile and coquettish voice immediately made everyone present laugh again.
The atmosphere was extremely warm and harmonious, and no one cared about Liu Yunhua's expression at the moment.
Changronghou's gaze fell softly on the fifth aunt, and skillfully took the swaddling clothes in her arms.
The index finger gently teased the little pink face, and Liu Chengxi turned over, "Wow, the tenth cousin is so cute!" Sister Shu is amazing! ”
"Oh? Why is your sister Shu so good? The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Of course, Sister Shu is amazing, and the reason why the tenth cousin is so cute is because of Sister Shu's excellent medical skills!"
At this moment, the fifth aunt on the side once again cast a grateful look at Yun Shu, "Yes, Young Master Xi is right." "If there is no Yun Shu, how can there be Yun Hong today.
"Hahahaha, it seems that Cheng Xi wants to start a family?"
As soon as the old lady said this, everyone was stunned, what does this mean, Young Master Xi is still young...... However, after a while, everyone reacted immediately, and the second lady couldn't help but chuckle, Liu Chengxi was puzzled, what was everyone laughing at?
"In two years, Cheng Xi can also get married and have her own lovely children!"
Get married? Liu Chengxi had never thought about this, he pouted, "Grandmother! ”
"Oh, look, our young master Xi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is blushing! Why, did you let your grandmother say it? Cheng Xi has a favorite girl? ”
Favorite girl? "Hmph, I don't have one!"
At this time, I don't know who came up with a sentence, "Is it Miss Feng Qi from the Marquis of Changding?" ”
Liu Chengxi's mind immediately appeared that delicate and cute figure, his sudden silence made the surroundings immediately quiet, and cast a playful glance at him, and then, the young man shook his head violently, "You, what do you think I do?!" ”
"Hahaha......"
When the crowd saw that the young man was annoyed, they laughed and did not discuss the subject again.
The corners of Liu Yunhua's mouth were hooked with coldness, and looking at the happy picture in front of her, she became more and more determined in her decision. She had never seen such a soft smile on her father's face, did he only care about Liu Yunshu and the Tenth Young Master now? Does he remember his mother, who died not long ago?
's father is really hard-hearted, his mother treats him so sincerely, and has done his best for this Hou Mansion for so many years, but in the end, he only ended up seeing the newcomer laugh but not the old man crying.
But it doesn't matter, soon, she will send her father to her mother with her own hands, and her mother will be at ease under Jiuquan.
