Chapter 48: The Old Lady's Birthday
As soon as Gao Nian entered the house, the first thing he saw was that he was attracted by the little girl in front of him.
He glanced back and forth several times, but he didn't recognize that the girl in front of him was Song Yi.
Still wondering, when did Wen Taoyuan have another handsome girl?
It turns out that Song Yi's appearance has changed a lot after unremitting efforts these days.
The people in Wentao Garden can see Song Yi every day, and there is a gradual adaptation process for Song Yi's changes, so there is no impact like Gao Nian who suddenly saw him again because he didn't see him for a long time.
Gao Nian was confused and secretly asked Gui's mother.
"Mother Gui, when did Wen Taoyuan come to the new girl? How did I not know? ”
Gui's mother was also stunned for a while, and when she realized that the executive's family was talking about the new girl being Song Yi.
Hurriedly smiled and said, "Executive, you are famous for not forgetting?" Why don't you remember who she is? After so many years, apart from Song Yi, which new girl can Wen Taoyuan have? ”
"What? You say she's an 'ugly girl'? How is this possible? ”
Gao Niancai had a ghostly expression, and he did not offend Song Yi, but was very happy.
This also means that her efforts have finally borne fruit. She is no longer the "ugly girl" that everyone disliked in the past.
Song Yi saluted respectfully towards Gao Nian.
waited for Song Yi to speak, and Gao Nian finally confirmed that the "strange" girl in front of him was the black and ugly "ugly girl" in the past - Song Yi.
No wonder people say "Top Ten Changes in Women's University", this is really not false!
Gao Nian can only comfort himself so much, thinking that all teenagers will have such a big change.
The interlude at the door, soon ended.
Gao Nian was led to the real king Zhu Xi.
"I've seen the prince"
"Hmm," Zhu Xi said softly.
"Lord Wang, the second master has come back from Jiangnan. Brought a lot of gifts to the prince and the old lady. Therefore, the old lady asked the old slave to invite the prince to Qingsong Courtyard. ”
"Second Uncle is back?" Zhu Xi pretended to know, but his tone was very cold and unfamiliar, and there was no surprise or family affection.
Xiao Hei on the side secretly pulled the corners of his mouth, the second master's return to Beijing, in fact, they had already received the news.
Not only did they know the second master's itinerary back to Beijing, but they also knew that this time, the second master did not come back alone, and there was a Jiangnan concubine by his side, and he came back to Beijing with the beautiful concubine to settle down this time.
And these messages are all information collected by their people.
The people in the house didn't know that the second master had already set up an outer courtyard in the capital, and he would not return to Jiangnan when he returned to Beijing this time.
"Lord, you ......" It stands to reason that when the second master enters the mansion, he should first inform and come to see the prince. But the old lady and the others did not do this, and now they can only suffer him as a housekeeper.
The old lady asked him to invite the prince to Qingsong Courtyard, and Gao Niancai could only invite him.
Gao Niancai had an embarrassed expression, and Zhu Xi only sneered slightly.
I know that the Qingsong Courtyard must be very lively now.
"The second uncle returned to Beijing, and the king has not seen him for many years, so he naturally wants to meet him. The executive's family just went back and told the old lady that the king would be there later."
Zhu Xi agreed, and Gao Nian happily went back to his life.
waited for Gao Nian to leave, and Gui's mother said angrily, "No one in this palace knows who the real master is!" What is the identity of the prince, they don't come to visit, but let our prince go to see them? She has the face to be invited, and she is not afraid of breaking her life. ”
Gui's mother was angry, but Song Yi was very surprised on the side.
Gui's mother is very kind on weekdays, and Song Yi never guessed that Gui's mother would be such a hot-tempered person.
The more Song Yi looks at Gui's mother now, the more she likes it, and it is rare to have a person who is so right with herself.
Song Yi looked at Mother Gui with admiration, while Zhu Xi said with a normal face.
"Mom, why be angry? No matter what she said, she is also an old lady in the palace. It is reasonable to value his own son. I just don't know, what do they want this time? The king is indeed very curious."
Zhu Xi's eyes flowed, very deep.
When Gui's mother heard this, she was distressed and angry in her heart, "Lord Wang, according to the old slave, you should get married as soon as possible." With the princess, everything in this palace can be taken back to you and the princess. There's no need to let the one in Qingsong Temple show off his power anymore."
"Mom, be careful. The real royal mansion is the old lady's home, and this king will naturally let her live in the palace for a long time."
Zhu Xi said "warm" words very indifferently.
Gui's mother wanted to say more, but was stopped by Song Yi.
"Lord, the slave is here to wait for you to change your clothes"
Song Yi asked Gui's mother not to say more, with her understanding of the real king.
How can the other party be a person who is slaughtered by others? Mother Gui is completely concerned about it.
Zhu Xi knew that Song Yi was smart, and Gui's mother had a long-standing grudge against the old lady, and something would happen sooner or later.
Zhu Xi changed his clothes and went to Qingsong Courtyard.
Of course, Song Yi followed behind, but she wanted to see the excitement.
Wait for the true king and Song Yi and the others to come to Qingsong Courtyard.
Qingsong Courtyard was already full of people, and it was not until the True King appeared in the courtyard that the house was quiet.
It was the first time for Song Yi to look at the various masters in the palace.
All the members of the big room and the second room are here, old and young, and the old lady's room is already piled up.
And the old lady is also very energetic today, wearing a peacock feather gold embroidered cotton jacket, with a rich and emerald forehead on her eyebrows, and a silver hair tied in a bun, and inserted with a hairpin inlaid with gold and beads. Rich and noble, natural.
Originally, Du Shi was looking at the children and grandchildren in the room with a satisfied face.
Hearing that Zhu Xi was coming, the smile on his face immediately collapsed. When Zhu Xi entered the room, she put on a false smile again.
Zhu Xi pretended not to see it, saluted the old lady, and then sat on the top seat.
waited for Zhu Xi to sit down before he asked.
"The second uncle came back from Jiangnan, why didn't he let people report in advance. I can let my nephew send someone to greet me."
"Don't bother the prince. My son is filial and traveled thousands of miles from Jiangnan to Beijing just to celebrate his mother's birthday. My own family, I don't need those false courtesies."
Du Shi's face was as cold as ice, and he was very indifferent to Zhu Xi.
"The old lady taught me a lesson. They are all of the same clan and relatives, so why be hypocritical. ”
Zhu Xi looked pleading.
As soon as Du Shi heard this, he knew that Zhu Xi was squeezing himself, and his face was even worse.
Zhu Yuanchuan on the side smiled sneeringly, while Zhu Yuanshan, the boss with an official position, was much calmer.
"Don't blame the prince. The old lady was throwing a tantrum with my two brothers. Seeing the old lady's birthday, Zimo was also happy, and went home from school, the old man wanted to do a big job for the old lady, but the old lady was not happy"
Of course, Zhu Xi knew that this was the uncle's excuse, with his understanding of the Du family, how could she let go of such a lively thing.
I have long heard that the house has been preparing for Du's birthday for a long time. The king also paid a large sum of money from the stewards in various places.
But Zhu Xi didn't expose it, he just nodded indifferently.
Zhu Shanlei and her sister Zhu Shanhan obediently served beside the old lady, secretly telling jokes in the old lady's ear to tease the old man.
Du Shi didn't continue to lose his temper and regained his smile.
"My old woman has lived so long and is content. Full of children and grandchildren, filial piety and grandchildren, who in the capital is not envious? I didn't want to have any more big birthdays, but Shan Lei was right just now, there has been no excitement in this palace for a long time, and it is also a good thing to take advantage of the old woman's birthday to let young people find some close friends with their classmates and have fun together."
"What do you want, do it, right? My old woman doesn't do anything that doesn't know what's interesting."
The old lady promised to celebrate her birthday, and everyone cheered and looked very happy.
Song Yi on the side looked thoughtfully at the third lady Zhu Shanlei and the second master Zhu Yuanchuan.
She was curious about what the third lady said in the old lady's ear, which made the old lady immediately change her mind and agree to the birthday event.
And the second master Zhu Yuanchuan and Song Yi inexplicably have a very familiar feeling, it seems that where have they seen it recently?
Song Yi couldn't think of it until he returned to Wentao Garden, and he put it down temporarily.
