Liu Zhen smiled first: "It's my cousin who is joking, right?" ”

Liu Wan thought he was going to make fun of Liu Ke, so he couldn't help but glare at him and said, "What do you mean?" ”

She knew that when she was in Boling before, Shi Yan was a little afraid of Liu Ke, and was often told by Liu Ke that she couldn't get off the stage, but even so, she didn't want Shi Yan to use this matter to make fun of Liu Ke.

In Liu Ke's eyes, Liu Ke was only given to the prince of Chu was a big blow to Liu Ke, and Shi Yan was never allowed to sprinkle salt on Liu Ke's wound at this time.

Shi Yan saw that Liu Wan and Liu Feng were looking at him vigilantly, and said with some puzzlement: "What's the matter, did I say the wrong thing?" ”

He saw that Liu Wan kept glaring at him, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say any more.

In fact, in his heart, he really felt that Liu Ke's appointment to marry Rong Yi was a thing worth celebrating.

After Shi Yan swallowed back his words, the scene fell silent for a while.

The scene inevitably looks a little awkward.

Shi Xiu smiled and said: "The son of the Qi family can be said to be a romantic figure after this year's palace examination, there is almost no one in the capital who does not know, only at the age of seventeen, he won the Jinshi, or the youngest Jinshi since the founding of our dynasty, even the emperor praised him." ”

After Liu Zhen heard this, her face turned red and she bowed her head and said nothing, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked proud, anyone could see it.

Seeing this, Shi Yan nodded, smiled, and did not speak.

Liu Feng didn't want Shi Yan to stay here for too long, so after talking for a while, he pulled him forward.

Not long after, Shi Xiu also left under the pretext of excuses.

Because the Qi family and the Liu family have a marriage contract. Since Qi Siren was admitted to the Jinshi, people have continued to come to the door to congratulate him.

It will be Liu Ke's fourteenth birthday in a few days, but the people in Liufu seem to have forgotten about it, and no one has mentioned it again except for Liu Ming's once.

Liu Jialu and Shi didn't seem to remember such an incident at all.

And since Liu Ke was assigned to marry Rong Yi, the Shi family no longer invited Mama Song in the palace to teach their sisters etiquette, and their attitude towards Liu Ke was the same as that towards Liu Zhen before.

However, for a woman, the fourteenth birthday is different from the ordinary birthday, and her fourteenth birthday is also the day of her birthday.

So for a woman, the fourteenth birthday is a very important date.

Shi's attitude made Liu Ming a little dissatisfied.

The day before Liu Ke's birthday, he arrived at Qinlan Courtyard with an unhappy face. said to Liu Ke: "Tomorrow is the day of your time." Father can't do anything else for you, but it's a must, and I've told your uncle and grandmother that every day our family will do it for you in front of your mother's portrait. ”

After Liu Ke heard this. knew that Liu Ming had already argued with the Shi family for this matter.

"Fathers don't have to take it too seriously. Actually, he was born at the age of fourteen. It's just a birthday, just like in previous years, isn't it a good ceremony? Won't my daughter grow up? Liu Ke smiled indifferently.

"How can you say that, how important is the etiquette to a woman, although your mother left you early, but I can't let you not even have a serious etiquette."

When Liu Ming said this, there was obvious helplessness and frustration in his tone.

Liu Ke didn't want to disappoint him, and said happily: "Okay, Ah Ke will obey his father's arrangement." ”

Early the next morning, although Liu Ke knew that she would not have a grand ceremony today, she still got up before midnight.

asked Yuye to prepare a set of vermilion brocade-edged clothes for her to wear, and her long hair was draped behind her shoulders.

At three o'clock, Liu Wan and Liu Zhen came to salute her.

Just as Liu Ke was about to go to the front to salute the Shi family and other elders, Liu Qing took out a big red dress from his room and brought it to Liu Ke, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "The slave maid has been preparing for the eldest lady's Ji Lu since last summer, and this dress is made of cloth by herself with the money saved by the slave maid in the previous share, although it is not precious, but it is the mind of the slave and maid." ”

Liu Ke saw the clothes Liu Qing was holding in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

She unfolded the clothes, it was a curved deep coat, and the silk on the big red background was finely embroidered with yellow and white silk threads with a pattern of happy eyebrows, bright and generous, and it could be seen that every stitch and thread were soaked in Liu Qing's hard work.

Liu Ke held the clothes in his arms, burst into tears, took a deep breath and smiled: "Sister Liu Qing, thank you, this is the best birthday gift I have ever received." ”

Liu Qing was full of joy when she saw her emotion, "As long as the eldest lady likes it." ”

As they were talking, suddenly the little girl Yu'er beside Shi came back and said, "Second Miss, Third Miss, the old lady asked you to go to the front to welcome the guests." ”

After Yu'er finished speaking, she turned to Liu Ke and said, "The eldest lady asked you to take a bath quickly, and then put on your clothes and wait in the east room of the living room. ”

After listening to Yu'er's words, Liu Ke asked puzzledly, "Are there any foreign visitors visiting today?" ”

Yu'er hurriedly replied: "Miss Hui, yes, when the slave maid came in just now, the second old lady of the Shi family, the county lord Rong Ming of the Yan Palace, and Mrs. Han have all arrived, and now there are no other guests The slave and maid don't know, the old lady is also a little caught off guard at this time, and is instructing people to prepare things, the slave and maid will not stay longer, the two young ladies will go to the front to welcome the guests." The latter sentence Yu'er said to Liu Zhen and Liu Wan.

After they left, Liu Ke was a little puzzled, these guests were obviously not invited by his father, and he didn't want to be the guests invited by the Shi family when he listened to Yu'er's tone, why did so many people suddenly come?

Liu Ke hurriedly bathed with doubts in his heart.

After bathing, according to what Yu'er said, he went to wait in the east room of the living room accompanied by Liu Qing and Yuye.

After entering the courtyard of the living room, Liu Ke heard that it was bustling inside, and it seemed that there were many people coming.

At this time, Shi was very busy.

Because she had no idea how these people came out.

How would they know that today was Liu Ke's ceremony?

Because Shi didn't post anyone at all, he just wanted to simply salute Liu Ke.

But I didn't expect it to be early in the morning. I heard that Mrs. Han came, and when she came, she said that she came to watch the ceremony because of Liu Ke's ceremony, and brought a gift to Liu Ke.

Tourists visit, no matter how caught off guard by Shi, they must also be received.

Mrs. Han just fell, what this lady, that lady was in an endless stream, and they all came in unison for Liu Ke and Lu.

Shi hurriedly asked people to prepare liquor, wine glasses, small tables, mats, cushions, cups, incense burners, wall charts and other things, and asked Liu Wan and Liu Zhen to help her welcome her at the door.

After the things were ready, I heard someone outside shouting, "The autumn talent has arrived-"

Although the grade of the autumn talent is not high. But she is now also a celebrity in front of the emperor. So as soon as everyone heard that the autumn talent had arrived, they all got up to greet each other.

Liu Ke, who was waiting in the east room, couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the rumor outside, she didn't expect Qiucai to come.

She was just about to get up and go out. But I saw Mama Song open the door and walk in.

Liu Ke saw this. A hint of surprise flashed across his face.

In her previous life, she had not done anything serious. There are many places that she doesn't know, and now that Mama Song can come, it is really like a charcoal in the snow for her.

"Hello Mama. Mama was able to come, Liu Ke was so happy. Liu Ke's joy was beyond words.

Mama Song smiled and gave the gift prepared for her by the Qiucai people, and said, "Today is a good day for Miss Liu, even our little master is here, how can I not come." ”

After she finished speaking, she gave the gift in her hand to Liu Ke and said, "When the salute is held, I will change into this big-sleeved shirt prepared for you by the little master Qiu, which is from the palace Shangyi Bureau, which is better than what is made outside." ”

Liu Ke looked at the water-red flower dress in front of him, the color was thick but not bright, the flowers were full of flowers, and the auspicious light was shining, showing everyone's demeanor. smiled: "It's so beautiful, I'll go and thank the Qiucai people." ”

Mama Song stopped and said: "The little master has already instructed you just now, so you don't need to thank you, just wait for a while and give the ceremony." ”

After she finished speaking, she pressed Liu Ke on the cushion and told her carefully about the things that needed to be paid attention to for a while.

Liu Ke understood and couldn't help nodding.

I am full of gratitude to Qiucai and Mama Song.

After finishing the business, Liu Ke quietly asked: "How did Mama and Qiucai know that today is Liu Ke's fourteenth birthday, could it be that someone has posted to you?" ”

Mama Song smiled: "It turns out that you don't even know that no one has posted to Qiu Xiaozhu about this matter, but the emperor told her about your fourteenth birthday. ”

After Liu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback!

"Qiu Cai people want to praise me?"

Mama Song nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's what Qiu Cai said!" ”

After Liu Ke heard this, he knew in his heart.

also understood why Qiu Cairen was so desperate to save her when she was in the palace.

Just when Liu Ke was distracted, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Old Princess Chu has arrived-"

When Mama Song heard this, she stood up suddenly.

Liu Ke was also surprised.

After Mama Song was surprised, she smiled and said, "The old princess of Chu has been living in Jane for many years, but I didn't expect to leave the palace today for Miss Liu's courtesy." The little master of Qiu is here, you don't have to go out, but her old man is here, you must go to see her. ”

Liu Ke took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I think so too. ”

She tidied up the clothes on her body and walked out of the east room with Mama Song, but as soon as she arrived at the door, she was blocked by an old mamma.

"Miss Liu can't go out of the door of the east room, if you want to meet the old princess, there will be opportunities in the future, today is your auspicious day, and you can't violate the etiquette system."

As soon as Liu Ke was told by her, her face immediately turned red.

At this time, she woke up that she was a person who had a marriage contract with Rong Yi, and now it was not suitable to visit the old princess of Chu, so she had to retreat back.

The arrival of the old princess Chu really surprised her, and she forgot about this layer for a while.

It's just that what happened after the end of the ceremony not only made her, but also the people present shocked! (To be continued......)
