Since Xiao Shi and the Xiao family started up, Long Xiangye has to celebrate his birthday with great fanfare every year. It was also the previous period when I was afraid of poverty, and when I lived a rich life again, I saved the psychology of compensating myself.

Wealth and nobility don't see people, it's like walking in brocade clothes at night, how cold it is......

Long Xiangye got up early that day, first burned incense and bathed, and then went to worship the ancestors, and then held the hand of the big maid, came out of Xuanrong Hall with a smile, and went to the middle hall.

The middle hall of the Xiao family is a separate courtyard, which is specially used for banquets. The house is tall, five rooms due north, the position of the east and west wings is transformed into a flower hall that can feast guests, and the courtyard in the middle, if the big solar term is in time, you can set up the stage to sing, which is very broad.

Long Xiangye was wearing a rose purple finch eye pattern Fang Sheng Shu brocade cross-collar narrow-sleeved short shirt, lotus pink purple beaded beast pattern brocade Luo skirt, combing a tuxedo on her head, and wearing a few new styles of jewelry, which really had a bit of bearing.

Surrounded by a large group of maids, Long Xiangye came to the middle hall with a smile on her face and sat down, and it didn't take long for the guests to come to the door one after another.

The male guest was in the outer courtyard and was received by Siu Shiji and Siu Tai Ho. The female guests were invited directly into the inner courtyard and came to the middle hall of the banquet guests.

Du Hengshuang and Guan Yunlian stood beside Long Xiangye on the left and right, greeting the visitors with a smile.

There are not many relatives in the Xiao family, and now only Xiao Ruisheng is left, who is Long Xiangye's brother-in-law, and he is also the person who has a "marriage contract" with her.

However, Xiao Ruisheng did not come, most of the people who came were Xiao Shiji's colleagues and families, as well as relatives and friends of Long Xiangye's mother's family.

The Long family once ignored the Xiao family after the fall of the Xiao family. Let Long Xiangye also used to be very sad. She is really attached to her mother's family, thinking that her mother's family is good, and her waist is hard.

Later, after the Xiao family rose up, the people of the Long family slowly walked around again.

Long Xiangye thought that there were almost no relatives of the Xiao family, although the Long family did not do very authentic at that time, but they could not be blamed, and then they kept being small and low, often coming to the door, and Long Xiangye gradually forgave them. Besides, at that time, the Xiao family didn't know who Lu Dao was provoking. Don't talk about the Long family. Even Long Xiangye himself couldn't wait to hide away. That is, for the sake of the three children, he gritted his teeth and survived.

Now that the children are older, it's time for her to enjoy them.

Long Xiangye was even more smiling.

Her mother-in-law and father had both died a few years earlier. Today's head of the Long family, Long Wenping. It's her mother's younger brother. Her own son Xiao Shiji is also promising, as the aunt of the Long family, she has more status than her sister-in-law.

She does Shou. Relatives on the Long family's side came out to congratulate her on her birthday.

The earliest to arrive was the Long family.

Long Xiangye smiled and introduced to Du Hengshuang and Guan Yunlian, "This is your uncle and aunt, and this is your cousin and cousin." Here's your aunt and second aunt......"

Long Xiangye also has a sister of the same mother, Long Qiuye, who died in prison a few years ago.

Du Hengshuang and Guan Yunlian were busy giving gifts to their mother-in-law's relatives.

"Third aunt, you just introduced my brother and sister, why did you forget me for me?" A teenage girl walked in quickly, her moon-white skirt swept lightly on the bluestone bricks of the turquoise intarsia, swaying and swaying.

Long Xiangye looked up and saw a girl with glamorous makeup walking in.

"It's Shuzhi, I haven't seen you in the past two years, where have you been?" When Long Xiangye saw that her younger brother's eldest daughter, Long Shuzhi, was coming, she was overjoyed, "Come and sit here with my aunt." ”

Long Shuzhi is fourteen this year, one year younger than Du Hengshuang, and in the ordinary-looking Long family, she is surprisingly good.

Thick eyebrows, long eyelashes and big eyes, and slightly thick lips, but they are just the right amount thick. A slight pout, it's extremely tempting.

Long Xiangye's most painful maiden relative on weekdays is this niece Long Shuzhi.

"Third aunt, I went to live at my grandmother's house for two years, and you also know that my grandmother's house is the Qinghe Chang clan, a well-known family. Now, the Chang family is going to have a big happy event, so I will stay for a few more days. The third aunt is not strange. Long Shuzhi sat next to Long Xiangye and shook her arm coquettishly.

Du Hengshuang listened beside him, the corners of his lips curled up almost invisibly, then calmed down, and nodded at Long Shuzhi with a smile.

Long Shuzhi had already seen a beautiful woman standing next to Long Xiangye, not much older than herself, but she was dressed as a little daughter-in-law, so she smiled and tugged at Long Xiangye's shirt and asked, "Third aunt, who is this sister?" Born so beautiful. ”

Du Hengshuang smiled faintly, "My cousin has won the prize." ”

Long Xiangye smiled and patted Long Shuzhi's hand, "What sister?" She is your sister-in-law, the daughter of the Du family, you have heard of it before. Here, this is your second cousin. ”

Long Shuzhi let out a "yes", and hurriedly stood up and saluted Du Hengshuang, "It turned out to be the eldest cousin, and the younger sister is really blind." ”

Du Hengshuang shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing." Then he took off a mutton fat jade bracelet in his hand and brought it to Long Shuzhi's wrist, "The first time we met, it was a little bit of my cousin's heart." ”

Long Shuzhi hurriedly took off the bracelet and said, "How can I be embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift?" ”

Long Xiangye smiled and said, "Since it is a little bit of your eldest cousin's heart, you can accept it." She is a rich man, what is this idea bracelet, and she has ten or eight gifts in her hand. ”

When the people in the room heard this, they all looked at Du Hengshuang with their eyes.

Du Hengshuang saw that the other two girls of the Long family also came over, and it was not good to favor one over the other, so he was busy knowing that he would go back and get a few mutton fat jade bracelets to give away.

Guan Shi saw that Du Hengshuang made a mutton fat jade bracelet, and the corners of his mouth twitched in distress, but he couldn't make a sound, and desperately hid back, for fear of being seen, so he asked her to give a gift as well.

Long Shuzhi was the most naughty, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she saw a Guan who was hiding behind the door, and walked over with a smile to pull her out, "Second cousin, don't hide, I want to see our sisters unpleasantly, don't want to see us?" - Second cousin-in-law, don't worry, we won't ask you for a mutton fat jade bracelet. After saying that, he looked at his sister slyly and smiled.

Several girls from the Long family covered their sleeves and chuckled.

Xiao Shiji's colleagues and family members were a little embarrassed when they saw this. As if I didn't see it, I talked in twos and threes.

Du Hengshuang didn't want to see Guan being squeezed by others, so he greeted with a smile: "Everyone thinks they're hungry, right?" Let's go to the east flower hall and take a seat. Today is a banquet hosted by the second brother and sister, and it must be a good one. ”

Guan was being squeezed by several little girls of the Long family, and when he heard Du Hengshuang's words, he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Exactly, let's go and sit down." ”

When everyone was about to get up, they saw a mother-in-law come in and report that her in-laws had come.

It turned out that Fang Yuniang came over with Du Hengxue. The Du and Xiao families were originally world friends. It's in-laws again. Besides, when Long Xiangye was born before, Fang Yuniang gave gifts, and this year Du Hengshuang has been married, so she has to be more attentive.

Everyone in this house knows that Lu Dao Fang is Jing Zhaoyin's house-filling lady. The highest status. They all stood up. Smile and welcome her into the house.

"I'm late, will Sister Long not give me food?" Fang Yu Niang didn't arrive, and the voice arrived first. Walk into the house with a scent of incense.

Jing Zhaoyin's wife came to congratulate her on her birthday in person, and Long Xiangye also felt that there was light on her face, and stood up with a smile and made a peer salute with Fang Yuniang, and pulled her to be the first to do it together.

was about to introduce her mother's relatives to her, and Xiao Shiji's colleagues and family members in the house had already rushed up to salute Fang Yuniang, and it was lively, but let the birthday girl be a foil.

Although Long Xiangye was still sitting on the side with a smile, the smile on his face was as if he had been frozen in plaster, and it was very stiff.

After everyone complimented Fang Niangniang, they pulled Du Hengxue to praise her.

"Such a beautiful and docile little girl, I really don't know who will be blessed after the Dao."

"Not only is she beautiful and docile, but I heard that there are more dowries than her sister. Her mother originally wanted her to give birth to a husband. ”

A series of whispers reached Long Shuzhi's ears, and in the blink of an eye, Long Shuzhi's limelight was snatched away by Du Hengxue, and the little girl couldn't hold anything in her heart, so she brought it out on her face, with a stiff smile like Long Xiangye.

Fang Yuniang quickly realized that something was wrong with Long Xiangye, and said with a smile: "Sister Long, don't blame, I haven't been out and around for a long time." Last time the autumn banquet in Muhou Mansion gave a post to our family, I didn't go. This is the first time, it is really because of Sister Long's birthday, such a big day, it can't be done if you don't come out. When this came out, there were more words, and Sister Long was not strange. ”

Long Xiangye saw that Fang Yuniang was still acquainted, so she turned her anger into joy, pulled her to say a few words, and then called her maiden relatives over, and said, "This is my mother-in-law, your eldest cousin's mother-in-law, and Jing Zhaoyin's wife." ”

The juniors of Long Xiangye's mother's family all came to pay their respects.

Fang Yuniang had already prepared, and one of them gave a purse containing two gold coins.

"Those who came to celebrate their birthdays didn't prepare a gift, these purses, you sisters and brothers should take them to play, it's not worth anything." Fang Yuniang smiled and touched the head of the youngest little girl.

Long Shuzhi saw Du Hengxue smiling and standing beside Fang Yuniang without speaking, and couldn't help but step forward and said, "You are the sister of my eldest cousin?" I'm Long Shuzhi. ”

Du Hengxue didn't have any friends except Du Hengshuang, and when she saw that Long Shuzhi was good-looking and spoke sweetly, she also talked to her with great interest.

Guan Shi looked at the side coldly for a long time, and when he saw that it was almost over, he said: "Everyone has been laughing all morning, and they are also hungry, right?" There are a few tables of banquets in the east flower hall, so let's eat and play at the same time. So saying, he called a mother-in-law to come in and bring all the guests over.

Everyone moved from the middle hall to the flower hall.

Because the inner courtyard of the Xiao family was taken care of by the Guan family, Du Hengshuang was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she basically didn't ask about the affairs of the inner courtyard, and just remembered to allocate two taels of silver to the inner courtyard.

When she came to the flower hall and saw the jerky meat, pickles and gruel on the table, Du Hengshuang's brain buzzed, and she immediately understood: Oh no, she forgot to allocate two taels of silver to the inner courtyard this month. (To be continued......)
