Chapter XVII: The Banquet of the Hou Mansion 2

It was He Yan who chuckled, he grabbed Nianbai's wrist, "I have always been a helper who does not help relatives, mother, my son studies hard to get fame and come back to the lintel, but if the mother has always used means to suppress Nianbai, I want to come to my son's house is restless, and I can't calm down to study, let alone take a concubine, just leave a lady in the courtyard for the time being." ”

He said another sentence, directly blocking everything the eldest lady wanted to say.

Qin Nianbai turned his head to look at him, only to feel that he was a little different from before.

The eldest lady was angry enough, and there was a wail from Mrs. Jiang outside the house.

After only fifteen strokes, the little guy ran over and replied: "Back to the second young master, Mother Jiang is dead." ”

He Yan was not very surprised when he got this result, after all, he also guessed that she couldn't survive.

"Ask someone to give her a sum of money and drag her out to bury her."

"Yes!"

He Yan looked at the eldest lady, and his language softened slightly: "Mother, it is important for your son to get fame, don't think about stuffing people into your son's yard, if you really feel idle and panicked, it is better for your son to send someone to send you to live in a Buddhist temple in the suburbs for half a year, so that you can sincerely worship the Buddha." ”

The expression on the eldest lady's face stiffened.

He Yan didn't bother to entangle, he just pulled Nianbai and left.

Seeing this, the eldest son also bowed and said goodbye.

There was only a maid left in the house, and the eldest lady couldn't pretend to be able to do it at all, so she broke the Buddha beads and said viciously: "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite!" I've been practicing Buddhism for half my life, and I want to send me to a Buddhist temple! This son of a, still threatens me with his fame? I don't dare to face him, do I? ”

Mother Zheng next to her persuaded earnestly: "Why does Madam have to come to the second young master at this juncture, in fact, let's not care so much, their husband and wife are also hot, let's take a look here, after this time, what will happen?" ”

After being reminded by Zheng's mother, the eldest lady also calmed down, and she suddenly remembered something.

"Is the old lady of the Hou family going to hold a birthday party? Tomorrow, right? ”

Mother Zheng nodded and asked suspiciously, "What are you asking for?" ”

"The Hou family is a family in Chang'an, and there will definitely be many wives of dignitaries and nobles at his family's banquet, and I should also take those two daughters-in-law to meet the world."

Following

Hou Mansion, birthday party.

He Yan did not attend today, the eldest lady rode in a carriage alone, and Qin Nianbai and her sister-in-law sat in one.

After getting out of the carriage, the eldest sister-in-law Wang Yan looked at the ladies who were followed by the little maids, and the little maids had gifts in their hands.

She secretly tugged at Nianbai's sleeve: "They have all prepared gifts, if you are not prepared, you will not be able to enter." ”

Qin Nianbai glanced at her and replied in a low voice, "I was prepared yesterday." ”

The eldest lady had already taken the lead in entering.

Wang Yan gave a pair of jade bracelets, and the little guy couldn't stop despising it when he shouted.

Wang Yan was also a little embarrassed, but she was more interested in watching the show and wondering what her brother-in-law would give.

The little guy looked at the things sent, and immediately shouted: "The second young lady of the He family will give a blood coral from the Jade Sea!" ”

Blood Coral!

The eldest lady was walking in front of her, and suddenly turned her head to look at Qin Nianbai.

She stared at the blood-colored coral next to her, and the jealousy in her eyes was overflowing.

"You give such a generous gift? You are crazy! As soon as the sister-in-law finished speaking, she covered her mouth, knowing that she was speechless.

Qin Nianbai smiled, and just wanted to speak, but an arrogant female voice came from behind him: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the daughter of the Qin family, but I don't know if your second sister still has a face on the street?" ”

Following this voice, Qin Nianbai felt a little familiar, and turned around slightly, and saw that the person behind him was wearing a dark purple dress, embroidered with a large peony, which was really luxurious, but when he looked at himself, he was afraid that his chin was going to be lifted to the sky, and his eyes were even more contemptuous.

She looked at the lady in front of her, the mother of the Hou Mansion of the Marquis of Dingyuan, extremely noble, but she still had her elegance after forty years, and the arrogance in her eyes was even more undisguised, and her mother-in-law was even more sisters of Jin Lan.

Naturally, this temper is also comparable.

Qin Nianbai had a faint smile on her face, and as for the ridicule on her face, she naturally turned a blind eye: "I've seen Madame." ”
