Mama was tactfully reminding them that the time for birthday greetings had come, and asked them not to run around and go to the side room to sit down.

When Zhou Shaojin and the three of them heard this, they smiled and went to the wing.

In the three-wide wing, the wives and grandmothers sat in the east room, the introverted ladies sat in the west room, and some lively and active three-three-threes and twos or stood or sat in the bright room and talked, with fragrant clothes and sideburns, so lively.

Gu Qigu pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered to Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Ji teasingly: "You see, the wives and grandmothers have brought the young lady over. ”

And it was more than Zhou Shaojin at the engagement banquet of Miss Sixteen of the Gu family.

But at that time, when Miss Sixteen of the Gu family got engaged, there were thirty tables, but Mrs. Guo only invited twenty tables for her birthday.

Could it be that these people are all "prepared"?

Zhou Shaojin was a little suspicious, and felt that he had too much heart, and was about to tell Gu Seventeen Aunt about this, but someone had already seen Gu Seventeen Aunt and greeted Gu Seventeen Aunt warmly: "Where have you been?" Someone who couldn't find you anywhere just now? ”

The girl is about the same age as Cheng Ji, with a medium build, a peach face with a little baby fat, moth eyebrows and big eyes, fair and delicate skin, wearing a big red grape gown with dark lines, and her eyebrows and eyes are bent when she speaks, like a Wuxi doll, very festive, which is what the older generation calls a blessing.

Gu Seventeen Gu recommended Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Ji: "This is the nineteenth miss of the Liu family in Meifu. ”

They saluted each other.

Immediately afterwards, four or five more people came over to greet Gu Seventeen.

Everyone has seen each other, and they have become broad.

Gu Seventeen Gu knows a lot of people!

Zhou Shaojin was a little envious.

The nineteenth miss of the Liu family, but Zhou Shaojin is very affectionate.

Zhou Shaojin was a little puzzled.

Miss Liu's nineteenth family smiled: "I saw Sister Ling just now - my foreign family is a side branch of the Liao family in Zhenjiang. ”

Zhou Shaojin suddenly felt a little more cordial when he looked at Miss Nineteen of the Liu family.

When the nineteenth miss of the Liu family saw it, she suddenly pulled her to the side of the flower table, and said in a low voice: "You were not there just now, the eighteenth and twentieth miss of the Gu family, the third and fourth miss of the Guo family, the two cousins of the Sun Shilang family, and the nephew of the Lin Jiaoyu family...... They were all called to the upper room. As she spoke, she paid attention to the movements around her, "The other ladies have gone, but the two ladies of Sun Shilang's family said that they want to go to the official room. When the welcoming mother left, the two said they couldn't go. After a while, he said he was going again. You said that it was such a coincidence, when you came back, you met the fourth master of the Cheng family and Uncle Xu of the long house...... If there are no ghosts in this, I am willing to lose you two taels of silver! ”

With such a self-acquaintance, Zhou Shaojin didn't know what to say for a while, but he couldn't help but look at the people in the room.

My sister and aunt were talking with the eldest lady of the Gu family, and the young ladies of the Guo family seemed to be really missing two people......

Miss Liu's nineteenth lady looked at it and hurriedly said, "I didn't lie to you, did I?" The two cousins of the Sun family went to the upper room - they had already shown their faces in front of Uncle Xu, what were they doing here? Is...... Shameless! She was angry, as if she had been treated unfairly, and said, "I heard that the daughter of Lord Hu of Zhejiang Province, the sister of Lord Liu of Jiangning Prefecture, the daughter of Lord Wu of Jinling Prefecture, and the sister of Shen Qingyun...... It's all in the upper room! ”

Zhou Shaojin was taken aback.

Miss Nineteen of the Liu family misunderstood and explained, "Shen Qingyun's mother is the daughter of the Li family in Lujiang, so Shen Qingyun's sister is also in the upper room. ”

What Zhou Shaojin noticed was "the daughter of Lord Wu of Jinling Prefect".

Wu Baohua is one year older than her, Wu Baozhi is one year younger than her, and there is nothing outstanding about Deyan Ronggong...... Could it be Wu Baozhang?

But how could Mrs. Wu take Wu Baozhang to the upper room?

How could Mrs. Guo allow Wu Baozhang to be in the upper room?

She couldn't help but ask Miss Nineteen of the Liu family: "The Wu Governor's Mansion has three daughters, which daughter of their family are you talking about?" ”

"Which one else?" Miss Nineteen of the Liu family said disapprerovingly, "Of course it's the one with a Guanyin mole on the center of his eyebrows!" Recently, it has been rumored in Jinling City that the eldest lady of the Wu family is the reincarnation of the Yu girl in front of the Bodhisattva, and she is the life of IKEA and IKEA, and Wangfu Wangzi...... If you have a mole, you can have an IKEA room and a prosperous husband, and only those shrews who have not read a book believe it. A discerning person can know at a glance what kind of heart Wu Jia'an has......"

I see!

Does Mrs. Guo also believe in these?

Zhou Shaojin was silent.

Gu Seventeen Gu beckoned to her over there and said, "Second Miss of the Zhou Family, Miss Nineteenth of the Liu Family, come here, I will introduce you to the eldest lady of the Fang family in Jiaxing!" ”

Jiaxing Fang family, Fang Xin family.

I don't know who Fang Xintong is?

Zhou Shaojin and Miss Liu walked over.

The eldest lady of the Fang family is seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and tall, with beautiful facial features, it is rare that there is a kind of elegance of a scholar in her gestures, at first glance, she only thinks she is gentle and elegant, generous and calm, but the more she looks, the more she feels that she is very beautiful, and there is a kind of beauty that is different from ordinary women.

Gu Qiqi said, "The elder brother of the eldest lady of the Fang family is Fang Xintong, the richest man in Jiaxing, who once studied in our family's academy. ”

"I said why are you so kind!" Miss Liu's nineteenth family smiled, "I have a sister who married and went to Jiaxing, and I heard my brother-in-law say that his foreign family is the Huaxi Fang family, which should be my sister's family......"

She spoke sweetly to the eldest lady of the Fang family.

Gu Seventeen Gu looked at the nineteenth lady of the Liu family and glanced at Zhou Shaojin, and whispered: "Don't pay attention to her, she likes to pass on words." What you say to her one moment, everyone knows the next. ”

I can't see it!

Zhou Shaojin looked at the smiling Miss Nineteen of the Liu family, a little sullen.

Compared with Gu Seventeen Aunt's eight-sided exquisiteness, Miss Liu Family's Nineteenth Lady is like a fish in water, the eldest lady of the Fang family is quiet and comfortable, and even Cheng Ji is lively and cheerful, she is obviously not suitable for such an occasion.

She kind of wanted to be around her sister.

Zhou Shaojin looked for Zhou Chujin in the crowd.

My sister was talking to the Guo family with a smile.

She hesitated.

The families in Jiangnan are all relatives, especially those like the Guo family and the Gu family who opened academies, if my sister can show her face in front of the female relatives of the two families, it will be very helpful for her to gain a firm foothold in the Liao family in the future.

Zhou Shaojin retracted his gaze again, and stood there listening to Miss Nineteen of the Liu family whispering with a smug expression: "I think it must be that Old Mrs. Guo is anxious about the marriage of the fourth master." If it is for Uncle Xu, Mrs. Yuan should be present. But Mrs. Yuan has been busy with Mrs. Guo's birthday feast, and when the fourth master and Uncle Xu were in the room just now, Mrs. Yuan didn't go in! And Uncle Xu is seventeen this year, you look at those young ladies, the youngest is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest is twenty years old......"

"Who is twenty years old?" Cheng Ji exclaimed in a low voice.

The eldest lady of the Fang family blushed.

Gu Qigu coughed fiercely.

"Oh!" Cheng Ji understood, and his eyes fell on the eldest lady of the Fang family.

The eldest lady of the Fang family was so embarrassed that her face turned red.

Gu Qigu hurriedly said: "Hey, didn't you say that the auspicious time is coming?" Why haven't you started to worship yet? Fourth Miss, what time is the auspicious time? ”

She asked Cheng Ji and diverted the topic.

Zhou Shaojin felt more and more bored.

Fortunately, it didn't take half an hour to welcome the mother, and the welcoming mother came over to invite Cheng Ji, Zhou Shaojin, Guo Jia, and Guo family relatives to go above.

Sure enough, there were several girls in the upper room who were extremely outstanding in appearance and bearing, and she also saw Wu Baozhang.

Wu Baozhang smiled and nodded at Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin lowered his eyebrows and pretended not to see it.

After their relatives paid their birthday greetings to Mrs. Guo and sent gifts, it was the turn of relatives and friends like Sun Shilang and Mrs. Liu.

Zhou Shaojin let out the hall and went to the banquet room in the east.

Zhou Chujin came over and shook his sister's hand and said, "What's wrong with you?" Doesn't seem to be in good spirits? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Zhou Shaojin knew that when he waited for his eldest wife, he would take his sister to socialize with those wives and grandmothers.

"I'm fine." She hurriedly said, "It's just that I'm a little hungry!" ”

Zhou Chujin laughed and said, "I asked you to eat more, but you didn't listen, now you know that it's amazing, right?" Let's see if you dare not listen to your sister in the future! Then he said softly, "You are familiar with the people in the Hanbi Mountain House, and you can ask anyone to get you two pieces of dim sum to fill your stomach." The table is about to begin. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded with a smile and said, "Sister, go and get busy with you!" I'll sit down with my cousin later. ”

Zhou Chujin nodded and went to Mrs. Chu's side.

Zhou Shaojin only felt that it was noisy, and she wanted to go to the tearoom to hide until the banquet was open and then come out, but she knew that if she hid in the tearoom like this, what was the difference between it and her previous life?

She smiled and took Cheng Ji's arm, and listened to Gu Seventeen Aunt and those young ladies talking about the family's shortcomings, poems, pianos, calligraphy and paintings.

Someone tugged at the hem of her robe.

Before Zhou Shaojin could react, the people around her had already shown a look of amazement.

Miss Liu's nineteenth family said bluntly: "Miss Tuesday, whose lady is this?" ”

Zhou Shaojin turned around consciously and saw Ji Ying, who was wearing a dark purple makeup gown.

Ji Hotaru was looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed in his heart, and then thought of the group of young ladies standing beside him, and hurriedly pulled Cheng Ji's sleeve, and said with a smile: "It's my cousin, the side branch of Cheng's family in Jiuru Lane." ”

Cheng Ji did not make a sound.

Everyone laughed: "No wonder we haven't seen each other. Even Gu Qigu didn't doubt it.

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Ji Ying's sleeve and walked out, and while walking, he turned back to Gu Qigu and the others and smiled: "I have something to do with her, I'll come right away." ”

Gu Qigu and the others naturally didn't want to follow, so Zhou Shaojin dragged Jiying to the teahouse.

Perhaps it was the time when someone was going to serve tea and pour water, and there was no one in the tea room, only boiling water was bubbling hot on the stove.

Ji Ying's face sank like water, and said, "When did my surname Cheng be?" What about the in-laws of the Jiuru Lane family? ”

Zhou Shaojin panicked, but when she thought of Ji Ying obediently following her to learn needlework, her heart was relieved, and her brain became flexible, and she said, "You never told me what is your surname?" Can I be blamed for this? ”

Ji Ying was angry and glared at her, but still said: "My surname is Ji, and my maiden name is a 'Ying' character." ”
