Qu Miaoling sat up straight, her chin raised slightly, and she looked at Wen with a fierce look.

"Mother, why is that?"

"You're still young, don't make jokes about such a big thing, it's not going to end well." Wen had a thoughtful expression on Qu Miaoling's face.

But among the three people present, who doesn't know Wen's thoughts?

It's all fake and empty scenes, and no one believes it.

Qu Miaoling stroked her sleeves and said lightly: "Mother, it's because I don't know how to learn it." ”

Qu Miaoling's stubbornness did not change, and Wen's heart was angry.

"Miao Ling, the people who came to participate in the birthday ceremony are all people with heads and faces, our Hou Mansion really can't afford to lose this person!" The meaning of Wen's words is nothing more than that Qu Miaoling grew up in a village in the countryside, and he is useless and will only make trouble.

She immediately shot back: "Mother, if I'm not mistaken, Tatsumi hasn't held a few birthday ceremonies, if you talk about experience, I'm afraid that the old lady will be more handy, shouldn't we ask the old lady for advice?" ”

Wen thought about it, yes, this man's 12-year-old birthday is extremely important, and if he doesn't get it right, I'm afraid it will delay Chen'er's life.

She didn't dare to make this bet.

Wen's eyes rolled, and he made up his mind to consult the old lady.

But the old lady was already jealous of herself because of her poisoning some time ago, she begged, will the old lady agree?

Wen's face suddenly became difficult to look at.

"Mother, why don't we join us?" Qu Miaoling took the initiative.

Wen looked at Qu Miaoling.

thought in his heart: If Qu Miaoling is willing to go together, the chance of inviting the old lady out of the mountain will be a few percent.

She pretended to be reluctant to agree, "I can agree, but Miao Ling, you must listen to me in this matter, do you understand?"

"It's up to my mother to decide."

Wen was a little satisfied.

"Let's go over there."

Jiang Jingjing got up and said goodbye to Wen and Qu Miaoling, "The concubine retreated." ”

Just cleaned up Jiang Jingjing, Wen thought that Jiang Jingjing was afraid of herself, and she said with satisfaction: "Let's go, let's go, watch my body, and ask for a doctor, others think I have treated you harshly." ’

Jiang Jingjing immediately knelt down in fear, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Wen snorted, Qu Miaoling took a step behind her, helped Jiang Jingjing up, and then walked away.

"Master, the Wen family is too arrogant, why don't you send a message back to the house and let the master put pressure on Wu Dehou?" Red Rui suggested.

"No, my own revenge, of course I have to avenge myself."

Jiang Jingjing left with Hongrui.

The vestibule restores tranquility.

Here, Qu Miaoling and Wen went straight to the old lady's Buddhist temple, on the way, Tao Lei blocked the way, Wen smiled, and let Qu Miaoling go first.

"Madam, all the spies we buried in the fiefdom manor have lost contact."

"What?"

Just because she was clever and escaped Qu Miaoling's interrogation, where did she think that Qu Miaoling would be so powerful, and she would have inserted everyone's family background into the sky.

"Madame, there is one more thing."

"Say."

"The slave maid also found out that it was the king of the county who helped the eldest lady that night, so she was left alive."

"What? The King of the Counties? ”

Could it be that Qu Miaoling really hooked up with King Jijun?

"Let's go, go to the temple."

Wen's heart was drumming, but the pace on his feet was getting faster and faster.

Qu Miaoling had already arrived, and she accompanied the old lady to lunch, Qu Miaoling gave the old lady a smile and praised her for her filial piety.

Before Wen entered the house, the two were in harmony.

But Wen stepped in with one foot, and the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

"What are you doing here!" The old lady said coldly.

"Old lady, it's Miao Ling, and she's telling you again." Wen's eyes motioned to Qu Miaoling and asked her to take the initiative.

But Qu Miaoling blinked and said innocently: "Mother, didn't you let me listen to you?" ”

Wen was stunned.

But immediately became angry and stared at Qu Miaoling, this girl dared to fool her!

She was just about to open her mouth, but Qu Miaoling said: "Mother, seeing that Tatsumi is also 12 years old, his birthday ceremony should also be done, my father said, let my granddaughter help with it, but my granddaughter is too young, I am afraid that I can't suppress the field, and I want you to help palm my eyes." ”

Qu Miaoling said, and shook the old lady's arm, making enough of the coquettish little daughter's attitude.

"Okay, well, since it was Miao Ling asking for help, grandmother naturally agreed."

But when she looked at Wen, the old lady's eyes were still cold.

"Wen, what are you doing here!"

Wen was a little embarrassed, "Old lady, isn't this the Hou Ye giving full authority to the concubine for the birthday ceremony?" The concubine thought, anyway, Miao Ling is going to be in time, if you help with it, you can have a charter if you marry someone in the future, don't let the concubine see the joke! ”

Wen said this, and the old lady couldn't stop nodding.

"Well, I'll do it."

On the same day, Wen sent over the rules and regulations he had prepared and the guest list for the banquet, and asked the old lady to take his hands.

The old lady just glanced at it, and saw that there were four, five or six.

In Wen's worried gaze, the old lady said: "Wen, your general charter is fine, but I always feel that something is missing when I look at it." ”

The old lady put down the list and frowned slightly.

Wen's heart was shocked, she asked several old people in the house to help her see this list, but she didn't see anything wrong, she came to the old lady with confidence to take a look, just to say a good word.

However, her calculation still fell through.

"Old lady, what is missing? You said, "The concubine will go and prepare immediately." ”

"Miao Ling, do you see anything wrong?"

The old lady didn't take Wen's words, but said to Qu Miaoling.

"The granddaughter didn't see anything wrong and asked her grandmother to clear her up."

The birthday ceremony, she also did it in her previous life, but not for herself, but for Situ Huaibo, who was crowned at the age of 20 at the time, and it stands to reason that it should also be done in a big way.

At that time, she was serious, asked a lot of people, and almost offended her aunt, which gave Situ Huaibo a beautiful scenery.

With the eyesight that she has lived for two lifetimes, she doesn't see anything wrong.

"Hehe, Miao Ling, grandmother will teach you." The old lady stood up slowly.

"What is this 12-year-old boy holding a birthday banquet for?"

"Naturally, it is for the sake of good health and a smooth career in the future." Qu Miaoling did not hesitate and said directly.

The old lady nodded.

"That's right, but the most important point, in the eyes of the old man, is not waiting, but the former."

"For the health of the offspring?" Qu Miaoling has always thought that the various banquets held by the nobles of this family, including this birthday banquet, are for their future careers.

"So, Miao Ling, think about it again, what is missing at this birthday banquet?"

The old lady sat down, and Mama Qiao behind her also looked at Qu Miaoling with a smile in her eyes.

"Lady Quanfu missing?"

Qu Miaoling pondered for a while, and replied one step ahead of Wen's.

The old lady laughed.

"Wen, do you understand? No matter how you say it, she is also a housewife, how can she even forget such a big thing. ”

"It's a concubine, thank you for mentioning it." Wen was damaged, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only accept it respectfully.

The old lady's persuasion of Qu Miaoling was in stark contrast to the coldness of her.

When she buried her head, Wen gritted her teeth, but when she raised her head, the resentful expression on her face disappeared, replaced by a heartfelt thank you to the old lady.

"Old lady, this Quanfu lady, I wonder if you have any ideas?"

In the end, the old lady has accompanied the old marquis all her life, and there are always more people with heads and faces than her, a woman who does not go out of the second door.

"You want me to help you?"

Wen nodded again and again, "Tatsumi's 12th birthday is like this once in a lifetime, and the old lady also wants Tatsumi to live without regrets!" ”

Wen's words were awkward, which made the old lady feel extremely uncomfortable when she heard it.

Even if she doesn't like this Wen family, Qu Chensi is also her new grandson and the future master of the Hou Mansion.

The old lady snorted coldly, and the Wen family did not delay any longer, and continued to prepare for others.

Qu Miaoling sat with the old lady for a while, and then left the temple.

Behind her, Mama Qiao leaned down slightly.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is really like you."

The old lady used to be separated from Qu Miaoling, and even gave birth to the idea of not violating the river water with Qu Miaoling, but now it seems that this child, who she thought was the least close to her, turned out to be the most considerate and filial to her, how ironic.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is a good one."

The old lady nodded her head.

"Yes, it's a good one, but it was delayed by these cow ghosts and snake gods in our house!"

After leaving the Buddhist monastery and returning to Wanzhen Monastery, Qu Miaoling received an invitation sent by the Wen family.

"Miss, this invitation is for the Marquis of Jingkang, Mrs. said, it's better for you to pass it on."

Qu Miaoling asked her to take it gently, and went to Jingkang Hou's Mansion that afternoon.

Before leaving, Qu Miaoling ordered: "Gently, go ahead, I took out some cloth and warm jade from the last time in the sealed zone." ”

The two carriages, and the one in which Qu Miaoling was riding, went to the Jingkang Marquis Mansion in a mighty way.

"Miao Ling, you can come here, why do you bring so many things!"

The aunt looked at the carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard and disagreed.

Qu Miaoling was facing Mrs. An's gaze and said with a smile: "Isn't this a little filial piety?" ”

"I'm used to playing tricks, and I don't have a straight shape."

Mrs. An pierced Qu Miaoling at a glance, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"You are really sharp-eyed, I won't hide it from you, the seventh day of the first month of next month is Qu Chensi's birthday gift, and the Wen family wants to invite you over."

"Invite us, she'll have to send in an invitation."

Mrs. Ann scoffed.

Qu Miaoling smiled, "No, I brought the invitation." ”

Watching Qu Miaoling take out the invitation, Mrs. An opened it and looked at it, and then handed it to the maid behind her.

"Miao Ling, do you want us to go?"

The strength of this Wude Houfu is a big difference between the strength of the Jingkang Houfu and the Jingkang Houfu, but the title is the same, and even the marquis of each family is married to the county lord.

But Wu Dehou was jealous of Jingkanghou, and during the years that Qu Miaoling was fostered in Jingkanghou's mansion, Wu Dehou didn't even go to the door once.
