Duchess Anguo's words made several ladies of the Mu family stunned. It is common for the ladies of the Jingzhong family to invite each other, but if the ladies post a treat in their personal name, most of them are at home, inviting the little sisters they have made friends to visit and so on.

It's not because unmarried girls are not allowed to go out in private, but because of the atmosphere in Beijing, which emphasizes pomp and circumstance, and female dependents are usually complicated and exquisite.

Arranging such an event is really not a simple matter, it is more complicated than holding a banquet at home, so I really haven't seen the ladies themselves post to invite people out.

However, the young masters of the sons and young masters are more trouble-free when they go out, they don't need to go out with ten or eight servants and maids, and they don't need to prepare extra clothes and handkerchiefs to change, so they often post a private invitation like this, set a date, and make an appointment in which restaurant, and then everyone will go to the appointment.

So this invitation from Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou, although everyone was surprised when they saw it, and after thinking about it carefully, they didn't feel too out of line.

"Heh," Old Madam Mu was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "This Miss Gu Jiu and Miss Xie Si are really not ordinary people, and they are so eclectic in their treats."

"It's clever." The second lady nodded: "This is for fear of inviting guests in the name of the house, and our red clothes will not go to the appointment."

"I didn't plan to let Hongshang go," Duchess An Guo replied: "The rejected post must be written by Hongshang herself, but I haven't thought about how to reply to this post, so I came to my mother to ask for an idea."

After Mrs. An Guo finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Mu, hoping to get an idea from her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect Mrs. Mu to hold the teacup, her eyes were silent for a long time, and she asked after a long time: "Eldest daughter-in-law, have you discussed this matter with your father-in-law?"

"After receiving the post, I sent the maid to pass the word," replied the Duchess of Anguo, "and he knew about it."

Old Madam Mu glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Didn't the boss say anything?"

"I just said I knew, and nothing else." Duchess An Guo shook her head.

"Ah Luo......" Old Madam Mu sighed: "You come to ask my opinion, if I really say it, I'm afraid it will make the boss embarrassed." I'm always eccentric. ”

"Mother, you ......" Duchess An Guo was a little stunned. She understood what her mother-in-law meant, and her mother-in-law actually didn't want her to be in charge and rejected Miss Gu and Miss Xie's invitations.

"It's me who is biased." Old Madam Mu lowered her eyelids and replied slowly: "After Tie Yi and Chi Yi left, Hongshang has been looking good on the surface these days, but she has been unhappy in her heart, I have seen it in my eyes, but I don't know how to coax her." Born in a family like ours, the red dress has grown so big, she doesn't even have a close little sister, and she can only play with her brothers and brothers on weekdays, and now that the three brothers are at the border, how can she not be sad. She can't tell us when she's sad, for fear that we'll be worried and embarrassed, so we can only keep bored. I saw it all, but I could only pretend I didn't know. ”

"Miss Gu Jiu and Miss Xie Si ......" Old Madam Mu pondered for a moment before speaking again: "I didn't have much friendship with Hongshang in the past, but since last year, it has suddenly been a gift and a letter exchange, and anyone has to mutter. But if you ask me, I don't really care about their purpose. In my opinion, it is a good thing that someone is willing to put their heart into pleasing Hongshang and making her happy, as long as Hongshang is happy, I don't care about the rest. What's more, our red dress is really not stupid, don't take her too lightly, she is a good child who knows many things. Look, I'm such an eccentric and unreasonable grandmother. ”

"Mother......" Duchess An Guo hung her head, and her voice was a little astringent: "I...... I know. She's a smart kid. But ......"

"I understand." Old Madam Mu nodded understandingly: "Just like I hope that Zhengyi can choose a daughter-in-law according to my liking, I am used to wearing red clothes, which is indeed too embarrassing for you and the boss." So Ah Luo, don't ask me about this, go back and discuss with the boss, you can do what you want, I just don't know. ”

"Yes!" Duchess An Guo stood up and saluted respectfully to Mrs. Mu: "Then the daughter-in-law will go back first."

After Duchess An Guo left, Mrs. Mu sighed gloomily: "Sister-in-law is also hard."

"yes!" Mrs. Mu sighed: "To be our daughter-in-law, she has worked hard, and you have worked hard." Hongshang is her daughter, how can she not feel distressed, but for the sake of our family, she is cautious in everything and wants to do her best in everything. But how can there be two things in the world......"

No one wanted to continue such a heavy topic, and several ladies were about to divert the topic, just as the children had returned. When the children came, Mrs. Mu's yard was suddenly a lot more lively.

Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi fought again, and after a while, Mu Hongshang and Mu Qingyi were involved in the battle, and the four children ran around the courtyard of Mrs. Mu.

Lunch was lively, the three ladies, four children, plus Mrs. Mu, gathered around a large table, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

After the meal, the tea was served with snacks, Cuiliu brought out the mille-feuille cake and osmanthus pine nut candy from Kuixinglou, Mu Hongshang cheered, and Mu Qingyi, Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi invariably reached out to take the white jade frost cake, leaving the mille-feuille cake and pine nut candy all for Mu Hongsheng.

"Doesn't the fourth brother also like pine nut candy?" Mu Hongsheng pushed the plate in front of Mu Qingyi: "Why don't you eat it."

"Our white jade frost cake is also delicious," Mu Qingyi shook his head: "Pine nut candy is only interesting when eaten occasionally."

"Sister, you can eat it yourself." Mu Jinyi raised his head and laughed at Mu Hongsheng: "You are so childish and hungry for snacks, we are not like you, we eat the same thing."

"You're greedy!" Mu Hongsheng smiled and reached out to hit Mu Jinyi: "If you have the ability, don't rob me of the sweet osmanthus soup."

Mu Jinyi had already prepared, how could he be knocked down, he turned around and wanted to run, but he chased one by one and just arrived at the door, but saw An Guogong walking in. Mu Jinyi stopped at the door and asked, "Why did Uncle come here at this time, but he came to grab snacks from us?"

"Little rabbit cub," An Guogong couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Tieyi and Chiyi left home, no one cleaned you up, you started to go to the house one by one to uncover the tiles, and you started to run crazy as soon as you were full."

"Daddy must have not eaten a snack, and his heart is uneven." Mu Hongshang smiled and handed the osmanthus pine nut candy in his hand forward: "I am filial and give my father a piece of candy."
