Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the 60th birthday of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu.

On this day, the sky is clear and clear, although it is autumn, the sky is cloudless, and the climate is just right, which is a rare good weather.

When Chi Linglong and the others came to the gate of Qingyang Bofu, there was already a lot of traffic here, and the voices of people were noisy, although they did not get off the carriage, they only listened to the voices of people outside, and they also knew that there were not a few people who came to congratulate the old lady of Qingyang Bofu on her birthday today.

But also, although Qingyang Bofu was demoted by the current Shengyi edict more than ten years ago, and was directly demoted from Qingyang Marquis Mansion to Qingyang Bofu, but in the end, it is a century-old family, although it is now declining, the connotation is still there.

Qingyang Bofu is also regarded as the indigenous inhabitants of Yizhou, and in the early years, it was even compared with the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the two families were called the two local snakes of Yizhou City. It's just that Qingyang Bofu started as a civil official, and the grace of the ancestors was quickly consumed, and today's descendants are really not as good as the generation, compared to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion with the same glory and glory, Qingyang Bofu can only be reduced to a second-rate noble court at best.

It's just that today is the birthday of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu, the married daughter and the children and grandchildren who traveled far away gathered together, and even the head of the house of Kyoto Anguo Mansion, and the next Anguo Gongshi also came to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu.

I don't want to develop a good friendship with these nobles, as long as they are willing to speak out and shelter, let them hold such a big thick leg, and let them worship how many tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver they offer every year.

The carriage went straight to the second gate before stopping, and Chi Linglong got out of the carriage under the service of the little girls, and saw that several of the ladies in the Yizhou City row, who had a close relationship with the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion on weekdays, were also in a hurry, and arrived at the second gate together at this hour.

One of them is the second uncle of the seventh girl, Chi Mingxuan, Shi, and she is also holding a little girl who is about seven or eight years old, combed with a double bun, and has delicate and elegant eyebrows.

As soon as he saw the ladies of the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion arrive, Shi Shi took the lead with a smile on his face. First of all, he greeted the old lady warmly and thoughtfully, and then greeted the seven girls as if he suddenly saw the seven girls who were probing her brain on one side, and directly beckoned the seven girls to come over, and handed over the Yun sister in her hand to the seven girls, so that the two cousins were affectionate and affectionate, and contacted each other.

Then Shi Shicai said to the old lady with a smile, "Ancestor, you are a kind person, and even the girls with the upbringings are also virtuous and intelligent, which makes people feel happy when they see it." ”

Pulling Ji Mingzhen over, he asked with great affection: "This is the third girl, right?" Tsk, it looks exactly like the person in the painting. ”

Ji Mingzhen was praised by Shi's, and her face, which was originally full of grievances and sorrows, became infinitely shy, and her beautiful little face was flushed, looking even brighter.

Shi praised a few girls one after another, and the six girls were dignified and elegant, with a family style; The four girls are steady and decent, and they know at a glance that they are well educated; The pool is beautiful and compelling, and it makes people's eyes shine at a glance; The eldest girl is gentle and virtuous, and the eighth girl is sensible......

After praising all the girls in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion next to each other, Shi Shi seemed to see the second girl standing beside the old lady, who was already red with embarrassment, but forced not to care, and then asked with admiration: "Isn't this the second girl?" ”

After seeing the old lady nodding with a dark face, Shi Shicai smiled infinitely gentle and happily: "It turns out that this is the second girl, she is really a wonderful person." ”

He smiled happily and took the second girl's hand and said: "Since I came to Yizhou, I have been hearing people say that the second girl of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is the most filial and obedient, and she has been raised under your knees since she was a child. Ancestor, you are good at training people, look at this girl's long, it really makes people hate to hold it in the palm of her hand, take it home and be a little daughter-in-law to pamper her......"

Shi's words are light and breezy, his tone is kind and kind, his attitude is sincere and sincere, and his smiling face is full of people who can't find a trace of fault.

From the point of view of the little girls who are not familiar with the world, Shi's attitude means that she prefers the second girl of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and even the third and sixth girls in the big house are not as good as the second girl in Shi's eyes.

But the women who have been in the inner house all the year round have never seen these superficial skills, and what they have practiced more is the ability to be obedient and listen to sounds. At this moment, I carefully pondered the meaning of Shi's words......

- Old lady, you only take the girl in the second room with you to raise you, and you don't care about anything else, this is eccentricity to the point of squeaky nests?!

If it's really a stepmother, she can't make love to her children and grandchildren who didn't crawl out of her belly!

It turned out that there were rumors that the old lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion was unkind, and they didn't care about it, but now, but all the gorgeous ones are quite right!

There is also a second girl, what does it mean to be "pampered as a little daughter-in-law"?

Isn't the implication of these words that ,——the second girl can't be on the stage, isn't she the material for the housewife and the clan wife? !

Then on the other hand, the old lady who has always raised the second girl under her knees, you can't put the little family raised by the second girl on the stage, so shouldn't your virtue be more suspicious?

In a few words, the old lady and the second room of the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion were squeezed, making their faces gloomy, and for a while, the noblewomen of the family who reacted to the deep meaning of it looked at the eyes of the current Yizhou General Judge Mrs. Shi Shi were even more full of awe.

——It really deserves to be the girl who has sent a message to the hometown of the first assistant of the cabinet, what she said is a thousand pounds, the cloud is light and the wind is extremely light, but the implication is that it can really kill people!

Everyone looked at Shi's gaze and instantly flickered. But I couldn't help but mutter: This is a hard stubble, and they can't afford to provoke it decisively!

The old lady, the second lady and the second girl, were red-faced by Shi's words of praise and disparagement, and wanted to be angry and pay tribute to Shi, but they really didn't know where to refute it, and they were even more angry for a while, and blood gushed to their heads.

On the fluent Cheng dù of the talkers, where they were raised in the upper-class social circle of Kyoto, the opponents of these ladies? Especially the other party has a father who has already been sent to the head of the cabinet, the literary literacy is leveraged, and he doesn't scold people with a dirty word, but the meaning of the words is that he can't tear off a layer of people's skin.

This kind of verbal exchange, with words and swords, is more frightening than using knives and guns, and they just dare to cross in the nest, but they really can't cope with these hard stubbles.

Shi held the Jiang family with one hand and the Zhou family with the other, smiled lightly, and walked into the inner courtyard under the banquet of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu. The old lady and the second lady looked at the three of them smiling happily and arrogantly, and they almost vomited blood in anger.

arrogant, she has to see how long they can be arrogant! wait

Well, one day she will make them want to live, they can't die!

The group talked and laughed and entered the inner courtyard, who knew that today's old birthday star, the old lady of Qingyang Bofu, who was sixty years old, was actually supported by the eldest daughter Mu Xie, and had already trembled to welcome the door.

For a while, everyone hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and said "don't dare to be", and they all said with a smile to the old lady of Qingyang Bofu, "Congratulations", "Every year has today, every year has today" and other festive words.

There was a lot of laughter in the inner courtyard, but it was a lively scene.

Chi Linglong and Chi Mingzhu were squeezed into the outermost part of the crowd, there was a crowd in front of them, they were not tall, and standing here, they could only see a few faint corners of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu in the encirclement of everyone.

But the eyes are full of pearls and green ayaluo, and the flowers are blooming all around, this dazzling and luxurious scene is a good cooking oil.

Chi Mingzhu was slightly shorter than her, but her momentum was much higher than her, when even against the brilliant sunlight, she raised her arrogant chin and squinted at her slightly, "You don't go forward?" ”

Her little face was tense, and when she spoke, because the sun was too dazzling, she narrowed her eyes impatiently and frowned.

There were few emotional fluctuations on Chi Mingzhu's face, and her awkward and impatient expression made Chi Linglong couldn't help but smile.

There was no real expression on her little gauzy face, but her eyes, which were clear and translucent, as if she could see all the conspiracy and calculations, were filled with a smile that made people's blood surge, from the bottom of her heart.

This shows that she ...... Happy?

Chi Mingzhu's expression became more solemn on a small face. Her brow was furrowed as if she could kill a mosquito, and her slightly pale lips were pursed into a straight line, and she was a little unhappy. Then he impatiently urged Chi Linglong again: "Is it possible that who are you counting on to invite you?" Go ahead! ”

This was said in a hurry, and his voice was raised a lot, and it sounded very harsh, and it really didn't like it. However, it was really good for her, Chi Linglong heard the real concern hidden in the awkward and cold words, and her beautiful eyes as bright as obsidian opened up for a while, like a beautiful arc like a crescent moon, and her whole person seemed to be much brighter, and the whole person was full of energy.

However, she still shook her head casually and said two words slowly, "No." ”

What if you go forward?

That circle is densely packed with people, not to mention whether there is a place for her to stand, but it is true that she is not welcome. There is no need for her to please those who have already brought three colors to look at her, and are full of resistance and defensiveness against her.

She doesn't have that kung fu, and they don't have the charm that can make her put down her self-esteem and pride and crawl at their feet and wagging her tail and begging for mercy, she is not pitiful and pathetic to that Cheng dù.

However, although she thought so in her heart, seeing the shame and discomfort that flashed on Chi Mingzhu's face, Chi Linglong explained funny, "...... There are too many people now, I can't squeeze in, let's wait a while, there will be time for the old lady's birthday. ”

Chi Mingzhu dropped another awkward sentence, "Whatever you want." Then he led the girls to find Zhou.

There is only Chi Linglong left here, looking at the prosperity, I only feel that this scene is so familiar and trance, but it makes people feel desolate. RS
