Chapter 96: Novelty Gifts
Soon it was Ning Wan's birthday, and the entire Mowang Mansion was decorated with lights, and the flow of people was endless, smiling and happily celebrating her birthday.
"Concubine Ning has a happy birthday, it is said that she is about to give birth, so don't have any moths when the time comes." A veteran laughed.
His words were filled with disdain and contempt.
They watched Li Xiangsi grow up, watched Li Xiangsi get married, and now another woman took away what should have been hers, and they all held grievances for Li Xiangsi.
Why didn't Ning Wan understand the meaning of their words? Literally pick it up so clearly, if you don't understand it, it's stupid.
And they still call her 'Concubine Ning', which is too ironic.
But she couldn't refute it, so she had to thank with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Wan'er will pay attention." β
The next person's 'congratulatory message' almost collapsed Ning Wan.
"The official doesn't know what to send, this green tea was taken back from Xiyuan, a few days ago I heard that Concubine Ning is about to have a birthday, presumably this thing, Concubine Ning loves to drink." He stroked his white beard as he walked past her.
Ning Wan's face was extremely bad, she knew the meaning of green tea, which was secretly saying that she was shameless.
If it weren't for the noble status of these people, their old age and deep experience, and they were not easy to offend, she would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.
But she still did enough work on her face, "You like everything you send, you bother." β
He snorted coldly, didn't look at her, and sat down.
"This is the white lotus that Ben will waste a lot of effort to retrieve from the tropical rainforest, and it just happens to be a special reflection of Concubine Ning, very similar, really too similar." His eyes narrowed, and his mouth was filled with admiration.
Ning Wan was turned pale by this popular face, and everyone knew the meaning of giving green tea and white lotus.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were about to burst out with hatred, she hated Li Xiangxi, and now she has exerted it to the extreme.
"The things sent by the people in front are very good, Ben Jiang really doesn't know what to send, I don't know if Concubine Ning likes shoes or not?" A woman took out a pair of extraordinarily delicate embroidered shoes from a small plate held by the maid behind her.
There are small birds and chickens sewn on it, and it looks beautiful.
Ning Wan took it with joy, because this was the best birthday gift she had received so far, but her next sentence made Ning Wan unable to smile anymore.
"Huh? Why is it a little broken here? She looked at the toe of her shoes with some surprise, how could she only see that big hole now?
"I'm really sorry, it's Ben Jiang's negligence, it's not Ben Jiang's pleasure to send broken shoes, but Ben Jiang looks at this chicken, the embroidery is good, presumably Concubine Ning won't mind, right?" She covered her mouth and smiled as she walked past Ning Wan, ignoring her extremely embarrassed complexion.
She walked to the seat, and Song Sheng, who had already finished delivering things, saw her arrival and smiled happily, "The things sent by General Law have compared us to each other." β
General Lu, surnamed LΓΌ Zhan, is thirty-four years old, is the only female general of the Mo Dynasty, the female disciple of General Li, and has 200,000 military power. Since I was a child, I watched Li Xiangsi grow up, and I also knew that Li Xiangsi obeyed a lifetime and a couple, so when I learned about it, I also followed them to borrow things and metaphors.
She smiled, twisted the teapot and poured a cup for herself, "Where?" General Song, the things you sent are not bad, there is no comparison. Come, the juniors will toast you. β
Song Sheng, who was an official a few years earlier than Lu Zhan, is indeed her elder in terms of qualifications, and her age is also here.
"Hey, why don't you respect the official for a drink?" The old man who delivered the green tea was in a hurry.
"Master Wen, we are all generals, just because you are a civil official, it's just a matter of being different, how can you drink at your age?" Lu Zhan smiled.
Wen Xu, a civil official of the Mo Dynasty, is the master of Mo Yuanyi and Mo Nanchen, their knowledge was taught by him, and their status in the palace is second only to Mo Yuanyi.
"Girl, what you said is not right, what do you mean to be different? If you want the official to say, the same Mo Dynasty people are a family. Moreover, when the official was young, drinking was a must, and he was nicknamed 'Little Prince of Drinking'. Wen Xu poured himself a glass unconvinced, raised his head and took a sip, and then raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Lu Zhan and Song Sheng shook their heads, looked at each other, and sighed.
"Master Wen, don't hold on." Lu Zhan was not worried, and was only polite verbally.
Although Wen Xu still drinks in his old age, he at least drinks to a certain extent.
Mo Nanchen entered in red, wearing a feather crown to tie his hair, and he arched his hand towards everyone, "Thank you for coming, if you have inadequate hospitality, you can mention it." β
Wen Xu waved his hand, "Lord Mo personally set up a banquet to invite us, how dare you disobey?" I just don't know if Concubine Ning can stand our deignation to come? β
He raised his eyebrows, Mo Nanchen smiled lowly, as smart as him, how could he not know that Wen Xu was not used to Ning Wan.
"Master, Wan'er has stayed in the valley since she was a child, and she has never faced so many people, not to mention that people with such a high status will naturally be shy. And I think Wan'er is grateful for your presence as well. Mo Nanchen humbly replied, but the next moment he walked away.
Wen Xu watched Mo Nanchen leave, but in the next moment, he saw a beautiful figure walking towards them, a crescent white dress dancing wantonly, a light makeup painted on her pretty face, and the flowers at the center of her eyebrows were extremely bright red.
They all know each other, and it's impossible to say that they don't know each other.
"The little girl is here?" Wen Xu beckoned and motioned for her to come and sit.
Li Xiangsi recognized this person, she gave him a lot of stumbling blocks when she was a child, and when she remembered the past, she was only embarrassed.
"Master, don't come unharmed." Li Xiangsi sat not far from Wen Xu, one aisle away.
Wen Xu smiled, "I haven't seen the girl's slim and slim for a few years, and the official is very happy." β
She covered her mouth and smiled, "The master is boasting. β
Lu Zhan sat next to Li Xiangsi, squeezed into a chair with her, and envied others.
"Girl, how can you bear to watch him marry another one? That man will have seen it too, how can he compare it to you? Looks, births, and you? Lu Zhan asked, holding his wine glass.
"I don't know if Sister Lu has heard a word? Love comes too fast like a tornado. She stretched out her hand and gave herself a drink, and then saluted in front of her, "I haven't seen Sister Lu for a long time, I didn't expect Sister Lu to be more heroic, with my father's demeanor back then, this glass of wine is lovesick to you." β
She threw her head back and snorted, and then said nothing.
Lu Zhan returned to his position boredly and pulled Song Sheng, who was sitting next to him, "I'm afraid that this girl is really robbed, and it is said that she is also investigating the case of the General's Mansion." β
Song Sheng replied in a low voice: "She checked that if she was killed, the general would have to help, how can I say that General Li had entrusted the general." β
Lu Zhan nodded, "It's the same, how can you say that the two of us have 500,000 troops to fight, even if we can't fight, we have to fight and lose." β
Their eyes all fell on Li Xiangsi's body, and they all sighed.
