Birthday? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered it. Luo Yuan's sisters and brothers have mentioned this matter to themselves, and they have promised that they will definitely go, but these days they are going to Hangzhou and fighting Tao Dongcheng, and there are a lot of things, and they forgot about it for a while.

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Miss Luo, don't worry, I will definitely go to say hello to the old birthday star." I didn't see Luo Yuan today, is he busy preparing? ”

Luo Ning nodded and said: "Grandmother's seventieth birthday, there are many things to prepare, and the younger brother was assigned by his father to do something, and he can't get out of it." If it weren't for the letter from my book friend today, I would probably still be busy at home at this time. ”

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Because of my existence, you have the opportunity to be lazy in the open, does Miss Luo want to thank me?" ”

Luo Ning pursed her lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Brother Lin, you are really interesting to say." ”

Lin Wanrong saw her pink face and peach cheeks, delicate face like a flower, her eyes were flowing with anticipation, very charming, his heart jumped twice, and said secretly, this chick knows that I am not interested in her, but every time I see me, I want to laugh like this a few times, is it not deliberately teasing me? Damn, Lao Tzu's concentration is really getting worse and worse, and when he sees a beautiful woman, he wants to push it down, guilty of sin.

Separated from Luo Ning, Lin Wanrong thought about it, Luo Ning's sister and brother have a good relationship with herself, and the old Luo Na is also interesting enough, she can't say that she has to prepare a generous gift, and there are some small diamonds exchanged with Tavoni, so let's get one for the old lady, Luo Ning's chick has earned it now, and the old lady is determined to give the diamond to her baby granddaughter, which can be regarded as indirectly satisfying Luo Ning's small wish to have diamonds.

Early the next morning, Lin Wanrong was still asleep, and the eldest lady sent someone to find Lin Wanrong.

When I came to the hall. The young master and the eldest lady were already dressed and waiting for him. Seeing that he was still wearing the Tsing Yi family's small hat, the eldest lady couldn't help frowning, and said lightly: "Today is Lord Luo's birthday, why don't you change into new clothes?" ”

It turned out that the eldest lady and the young master were also invited. How could I forget this, Lin Wanrong patted her head and said with a smile: "I was originally a little family, it doesn't matter if I change my clothes or not." With the eldest lady as a representative, it is enough to show the beautiful and moving image of my Xiao family. I'll be embarrassed if I dress too handsome and steal the limelight from you. ”

"Nasty." The eldest lady was ashamed and happy when she heard this, and said softly.

Seeing that he was pampered but not arrogant, and still maintained his hard and simple nature, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said, "Lin San." It's good, after all, Young Master Ben didn't see the wrong person. ”

The eldest lady glanced at Lin San with a smile and said in her heart. You can only deceive your cousin if you mess with your tricks.

The young master and Lin San rode horses, the eldest lady rode in a sedan chair, and the three of them marched up to the governor's mansion.

Although Lin Wanrong is friendly with Luo Ning's sister and brother, she is not a stranger to Luo Min. But this was the first time the Governor's Palace had come. After walking a short distance, I saw a high gate and a large frieze, vermilion paint. There are two mighty stone lions standing next to it, and above the main gate, hang a gilded plaque - Jinling Luofu.

Still far away from Nafudi, the eldest lady got off the soft sedan chair and urged the two of them: "You get off the horse quickly." ”

Lin Wanrong said puzzledly: "Miss, it's still a long way away from the governor's mansion, why do you get off the horse so early?" ”

The eldest lady glanced at him and said, "Don't you know how to read, can't read for yourself?" ”

"See what?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled, and the young master was also confused.

The eldest lady said helplessly: "There is a plaque on Lord Luo's mansion." It is a golden pen gift from the emperor, and it is extremely noble. Anyone who passes by here, the literati get off the sedan chair, and the warriors get off the horse, this is the rule, why don't you even know this? ”

Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh, damn, aren't they just the two words of the emperor's question, which are more effective than traffic lights? He turned his head to look around, and sure enough, those who came here to worship his birthday were all far away from the sedan chair and stepped forward.

The provincial governor's wife has a big birthday, this is a big deal, which of the officials of all sizes in Jiangsu dares to slack off? Still rushing to give a big gift? When Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady were talking, there were more than a dozen officials of all sizes who came and went, all of them carrying Shouyi with their families, and they were magnificent.

The eldest lady said softly: "Lin San, your beating of Hou Gongzi is all up to Lord Luo to suppress it, he has a great favor to my Xiao family, we must not fail to report it, this Shouyi can't be light." ”

The eldest lady took out a frame of longevity peach noodles and a sealed package from the soft sedan chair and handed it to Lin Wanrong and said, "You can put it away, and hand it over to the door steward later." ”

The package was very heavy in his hand, but compared to other people's large boxes and small boxes, it was also a small thing. Lin Wanrong didn't know what was in it, so she smiled, followed the eldest lady and the young master, and walked towards the door.

When she arrived at the door pavilion, the eldest lady respectfully handed over the famous thorn, and the master of ceremonies sang and said: "Jinling Xiao family, a pair of longevity peaches, a load of longevity noodles, ten bottles of perfume, 100 pieces of soap, I wish the ancestors blessings such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan." ”

Lin Wanrong listened to Shouyi, and was also shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that this big package was filled with these Zhaoxi, ten bottles of perfume, and 100 pieces of soap, which together were close to two thousand taels of silver, and they were all priceless things in the market.

The eldest lady pulled it gently, and Lin Wanrong woke up from her shock, forget it, although Lao Luo has been a little rape, he is still a good official, and he is not bad to me, let him earn this silver.

The eldest lady said softly: "Lin San, what's wrong with you?" Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up: "The eldest lady is shrewd and magnificent, and she really deserves to be a profiteer." ”

"Nasty!" The eldest lady blushed, snorted lightly, and walked in the door first.

The birthday feast sent perfume and soap, and it was also thanks to the eldest lady who came up with it. In fact, these longevity ceremonies are also Xiao Yuruo's thoughts, others give the land are jade antiques, one is a treasure, and it is not uncommon if there are more. But the Xiao family's perfume and soap is an exclusive secret recipe. Famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if you have money, you can't buy it, this birthday gift is not only unique, but also an advertisement for the Xiao family. The eldest lady is really shrewd.

The three of them came through the door. Na Luo Min's face flushed and he came up and said, "Miss Xiao, the old man is out of welcome." ”

Luo Min, the head of the province, the official of the feudal territory, how noble his identity is, he actually came out to greet him in person, giving the Xiao family enough face. The eldest lady was flattered and said: "How can a little woman, how can she dare to work on the jade toes of adults?" ”

Following Luo Min, he pulled Lin Wanrong and said with a smile: "Big brother, you're here." He said to Guo Wuchang again: "Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time." Please come inside please. ”

The three of them were welcomed into the courtyard, and the Luo Min Mansion was very spacious, and the courtyard was already full of tables. There are a large number of people, all of whom are officials of all sizes. They were a little surprised to see that a merchant like the Xiao family could be greeted by the governor's father and son in person.

What's even more surprising is still behind, Luo Min personally greeted the three eldest ladies into the main hall. There are only more than ten tables in the main hall, all of which are the most famous figures in Jiangsu Province, and the Xiao family is just a place to do business. How can you be on an equal footing with them? Although the eldest lady has experienced a lot of scenes, she has always been looked down upon in business, and her contact with officialdom is extremely limited.

Lin Wanrong pulled her sleeve and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, these people can't eat us." The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled, her heart was much calmer, and she sat down.

Luo Yuan walked up to him and said, "Big brother." You're my big brother, and your status is extraordinary, so please sit down quickly. ”

Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled: "I'm just a little family member of the Xiao family, where do I have any identity?" It is enough to stand next to the eldest lady. "Just kidding, if a little family member sits next to these people, he will not be immediately divided by these officials, and he will also get into trouble for Luo Min. Lin Wanrong is a smart person, he should be low-key, standing behind the eldest lady and pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is his best choice.

There are many acquaintances in this hall, and the first thing Lin Wanrong saw was Master Tao Yutao, whom he had just met yesterday. Tao Yu is a weaving in Suzhou, and the level is at least the deputy hall level, of course, he was arranged to sit in the main hall, and he glanced at Miss Xiao from time to time, his eyes were full of fire.

Another acquaintance is the boy who was beaten. After a few days of not seeing, the bruises on his face had dissipated, and he had returned to the appearance of a dignified jade tree facing the wind.

Hou Yuebai stared at Lin Wanrong fiercely, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, but it was a pity that he was a weak scholar, and he didn't dare to go crazy here. And he still has a fear in his heart for Lin Wanrong's toughness.

Lin Wanrong saw him staring at him, and he was impatient, damn, didn't he just beat you, there is a kind of you coming to beat me. His eyes widened, and he glanced at Hou Yuebai fiercely, Hou Yuebai's face turned pale, and he hurriedly lowered his head. Seeing his cowardly appearance, Lin Wanrong snorted disdainfully, damn, you are a little white face, not even as good as a woman.

Speaking of women, Lin Wanrong suddenly thought of Tao Wanying, who had come out for Hou Yuebai several times, although she was a woman, she was much more backbone than this monkey. On the way back to Hangzhou, I played with this chick like that, and I don't know what happened to this chick? It can't be that you can't think about wiping your neck, right? Sin sin, sin, I didn't do anything, I didn't hurt the land.

On the top of a table in the middle of the hall, there was a person sitting with a black face and thick eyebrows, and Cheng Ruinian, who had a few encounters with Lin Wanrong, was standing beside him. This can't be Cheng De, right? Lin Wanrong was shocked and said, within the boundaries of Jiangsu, it is none other than Cheng De who can sit at the top of the governor's family banquet.

Cheng De fought to the death with Luo Min behind his back, but on the surface, he was still controlled by Luo Min, and the two of them were amiable on the outside, and no one knew that these two people were already incompatible in private.

Lin Wanrong was waiting for boredom, and suddenly heard a burst of drum music, and the master of ceremonies sang loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please invite the old birthday star into the hall." ”

In the sound of drums, Luo Ning was wearing a red shirt, her face was blushing, and she slowly walked in with an old lady with a red face and kind eyes, Luo Min and Luo Yuan followed behind the two, and the three generations of the Luo family appeared in the eyes of everyone.

"I wish the old birthday star a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan." The people in the hall stood up and sang along.
