Chapter 131: Birthday Banquet
The invitation was sent out early, and the banquet was held for a banquet of the powerful people in the capital, and the Pingxi Hou Mansion was arranged in full swing early in the morning.
Lu Yunyao knew that the Hou Mansion was different from a small family, it was a noble family, but since entering the Pingxi Hou Mansion, he had stayed in Yuhua Courtyard most of the time, and he didn't feel that it was very different from ordinary rich families.
It wasn't until the day of the birthday banquet that I heard the name of the person who came loudly from the little maid, and I felt shocked.
It's just that the high-ranking magnates are everywhere, and there are as many big people in the court as dogs, and even the princes of the royal family have come several.
Although the princes and a few high-powered ministers, due to the inconvenience of their status, they just came over for a while, left gifts and left, but even so, it gave the Pingxi Hou Mansion a lot of face.
Not to mention that the prince sent someone to congratulate the old lady on his birthday, although the person did not arrive, but the intention was there, after all, it was the delicate Royal Highness the prince, and he remembered that this matter was to give him face.
Pingxihou sent away the prince's people, and there was a little more smile on his face, and he raised his eyebrows and talked with the people who came to congratulate him.
On such an occasion, Mo Chang, as the prince of the Hou Mansion and the grandson of the old lady, naturally wanted to attend.
Lu Yunyao followed him, originally she didn't want to come, but she couldn't bear to talk about this matter in the house for the past few days, and after hearing too much, she also wanted to know more, so she mentioned it to Shizi.
Mo Chang could not agree, he readily agreed, and even prepared a brand new dress for her, so that she could dress up and go out to meet people, but Lu Yunyao categorically refused.
She is not the master, so don't be in this limelight on this occasion, wear the clothes of her slaves and maids, and strive not to make mistakes, how can she be so ostentatious.
Mo Chang was quite disappointed, but he still followed her.
A huge hall in front of the Hou Mansion was idle in the past, and it was used to prepare for such occasions to entertain guests, and the old lady's birthday banquet was held here.
Hou Moran of Pingxi, who welcomed the guests, talked about the old days with the guests, and then sent someone to take them to their seats.
The hall is very large, with the host sitting at the front and the guests on the left and right.
The first few seats on the left hand side are Pingxi Hou, Mrs. Hou, Hou Shizi, the second son and a few girls of the family, opposite it, and the seat on the right hand side is prepared for distinguished guests.
After several princes sent congratulatory gifts, they left, naturally leaving no seats, and sitting down were several high-status important ministers, who listened to the name was very terrifying.
However, Lu Yunyao stood behind Shizi, and when he looked at the past, he was all fresh faces, and he didn't recognize any of them, so he didn't feel anything.
The banquet has not yet started, and there is no shortage of people walking around in the hall and talking, Lu Yunyao watched these people greet each other with smiling faces, and said flattering words in their mouths, and they also watched with relish.
Shizi suddenly beckoned to her, Lu Yunyao was stunned, and hurriedly lowered her head.
"What does Your Highness command?"
Today's protagonist is the old lady, Mo Chang is the eldest grandson, and he is also dressed to attend, wearing a jade crown and a moon-white robe, even if he only sits there, he looks rich and handsome.
This position is obvious, many people are dragging their families to celebrate their birthdays, and the daughters' homes that have not been out of the cabinet are generally closed, not to mention such occasions, if not, I don't know how many noble girls will be fascinated.
Even though the Hou of Pingxi has a bad reputation, most of the people who have face and don't need to marry the Pingxi Hou Mansion to find a way out for their family are actually not happy to marry their daughters to him.
However, the prince is good-looking, as long as he doesn't speak and looks like a person, which girl doesn't miss the handsome Lang Jun.
What's more, it has been rumored outside recently that the girl who was wrapped up by the Hou Shizi of Pingxi fell out of favor and was hidden by the Scarlet Fragrance Pavilion, which is said to have offended His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and the people are still waiting to see the jokes of the Prince of the World, and they have speculated that the Hou Prince of Pingxi is disgusted with this, and which one can he look at next.
Even the girls who learned the news were worried, and they publicized their talents and fame, wanting to earn this face.
After all, Pingxi Hou Shizi is famous for his generosity and dedication, a pack of Feiwen is for several months, and he intimately let her only serve herself, rest when she has nothing to do, no longer have to serve other people, and she has not hooked up with other women during this period.
In the past, many girls watched the jokes, and then their minds became active, and they all wanted to cling to such a generous benefactor.
It's a pity that there are so many people waiting for the following, but there is no movement on the side of the prince himself, I don't know if I am tired of Fei Wen, and I am dead to the girls.
Anyway, the carriage of the Hou Mansion that often stopped at the entrance of the Scarlet Fragrance Pavilion has never appeared since, and the girls have been waiting for it for a lonely time after all.
The prince was disgusted with Fei Wen for the sake of his maidservant, and he no longer went to places such as the Scarlet Fragrance Pavilion, basically only the old bustard and Fei Wen of the Scarlet Fragrance Pavilion, as well as his own family members in the Pingxi Hou Mansion, knew.
Originally, it was easy to leak the rumors of this matter, but the old lady went out of the mountain and pressed it down single-handedly, she finally saw the world getting better, but she didn't want this rumor to be outrageous, it was good to be quiet.
Although the old lady has been worshiping the Buddha for many years, regardless of the things in the house, but back then, the Hou Mansion was well organized, and the prestige was very heavy.
The most broken little maids in the past were also very obedient, and some things were talked about in private, and they never spread it outside the house.
When Qiao's family knew about this, he had a new understanding of how much Lu Yunyao was favored by the prince, and he was originally angry that Mo Chang would never look for flowers and ask Liu, and then find a good family affair and fight with his son.
After thinking about it, pampering the beautiful maid around her is much better than looking for flowers and asking Liu, she is also a noble lady, and she knows best how much harm it will be to his wife if there is a little slut in the house who seduces her husband all day long.
Isn't she like this herself, then Tao was originally her own maid to marry, looking at her duty, but now she is still bullying her.
The stewardship of the Hou Mansion is still in the hands of the Tao family, and the Qiao family is depressed these days, and he is reluctant to go out to socialize, for fear of being ridiculed for not having the majesty of a wife.
Qiao's wanted people to spread the rumor that Mo Chang was fond of his servants, so as to provoke those who were interested in marrying the Hou Mansion to retreat.
Her An'er's reputation is bad, no one is willing to marry, and Mo Chang will never think about it.
But this plan was ruined by the old lady, the old lady spoke, and the people did not dare to disobey, even if these words were really passed on, the old lady would be furious when she knew it, and personally investigated who disobeyed her, leaked the rumors, and then found out to her.
It was Aunt Xu who persuaded Qiao's not to confront the old lady.
