Soon the half moon arrived, and the old lady's birthday banquet was very grand.

Recently, Jiang Hanyue has been busy, and Lin Mo helped her for a few days because she felt sorry for Jiang Hanyue.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the old lady's birthday banquet was finally ushered in.

The old lady was dressed in purple auspicious clouds, and she seemed to be more and more energetic.

Lin Mo helped the old lady to welcome the guests, and sighed in his heart that the old lady was worthy of being behind the door, sixty years old, and the whole person still looked tall and temperamental, without any old age.

The birthday banquet is set up in the east courtyard and the west courtyard, the east courtyard is for male guests, and the west courtyard is for female guests.

"His Royal Highness King Chung has arrived!" There was singing and cheering outside the door.

Lin Mo looked up at the visitor, and his bright eyes couldn't help but be a little solemn.

She still remembered the eyes of the third prince looking at her in Qingyuan Villa, sharp...... Eyes that seem to be staring at prey.

The third prince is wearing a purple tunic brocade robe today, he is already thin, and wearing such a tunic robe makes him even thinner.

The old lady was about to salute the three princes, and the three princes raised their hands and helped the old lady, "The old birthday star doesn't have to be polite, we are all guests today, and the guests are as they please." ”

The third prince entered the mansion with his entourage, and Lin Mo had that feeling like a man on his back again.

She turned her head blankly, and the third prince showed a smile of unknown meaning to her, which made her feel very embarrassed.

After the appearance of the three princes, Lin Mo's original good mood was not much left, until Feng Yichen appeared.

"His Royal Highness King Rong and His Royal Highness King Yu have arrived!"

Seeing Feng Yichen, Lin Mo's mood was obviously much better, seeing his eyes full of tenderness, Lin Mo threw a flattering look at him, and the old lady beside him shook her head helplessly.

Seeing Feng Yichen enter the mansion, and seeing Lin Baoxiang coming, she called out with a smile: "Father." ”

"Well, Mo'er will help her grandmother to the West Courtyard, and I'll leave it here to me."

He didn't take a break to greet the guests in the east courtyard just now, so he was worried that the old man was tired, so he came over and asked Lin Mo to help the old lady go to the west courtyard to rest.

Lin Mo helped the old lady to walk towards the east courtyard, and just after walking far, he heard a voice from behind: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the concubine of the King of Chu has arrived!" ”

Lin Mo didn't have any good feelings for the two of them, and helped the old woman to continue walking, without raising his eyelids.

The old lady saw it in her eyes, patted her hand and did not speak.

Lin Mo knew that the old lady had been wise all her life, although she didn't say anything on weekdays, she knew everything, and she just kept it in her heart.

The west courtyard was full of officials' families, as well as the side of the general's mansion.

The old lady had three sons and a daughter, but they were all separated after they got married.

The second is a five-grade civil official, the third has not entered the official career, and the boss is Lin Baoxiang.

The old lady has been living with Lin Baoxiang.

Lin Mo helped the old lady to sit in the first place, and greeted the second uncle, third uncle, and little aunt who didn't look very familiar, and then returned to his rightful position.

The second uncle has one man and five girls, and the third uncle's family has three boys and two girls, plus Lin Mo, Lin Lingxue, and Lin Qingqing, there are just ten people at this table.

Because Lin Mo is a concubine, several little girls greeted her one after another.

Lin Mo basically didn't know any of the people here, only the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family she had seen a few times, and she was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember what her name was.

The youngest of them is the youngest daughter of the third uncle's family, who is only five or six years old, and she looks like she is carved in pink.

The girl next to Lin Mo came over and smiled, "Sister Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you have children." ”

The girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked innocent and harmless.

Lin Mo looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was called?

Seeing that Lin Mo looked at it for a long time and didn't reply, the girl said again: "Sister Mo, I'm Lin Qiqi, don't you remember me?" I saw it at the annual banquet a few years ago. ”

As soon as she said this, Lin Mo remembered that she was a daughter born to Aunt Qing of the second uncle's family, although she was born by a concubine, her personality was okay.

"Remember, Qi Qi has become a big girl." Lin Mo responded casually.

That Lin Qiqi talked a lot, and he kept pulling Lin Mo to talk about it, and Lin Mo didn't care about it, so he had to deal with two sentences without a match.

The old lady stood up and said a few words, and everyone got up and said some words of blessing to the old lady.

The banquet began, everyone chatted while eating, and the ladies of the official family greeted each other.

Lin Mo suddenly had a maid on his side bring a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, saying that someone from the men's seat asked her to send it.

This servant girl Lin Mo looked at Mian Sheng, just let her put it down.

Lin Mo just ate something, and he was already a little full, and he didn't know who gave it to this white fungus lotus seed soup, so he didn't eat it.

Lin Qiqi looked at the white fungus lotus seed soup in front of Lin Mo, and a smile appeared on his face, "This must have been sent by His Royal Highness King Yu, I really envy Sister Mo, this lotus seed soup looks delicious." ”

Seeing her staring at the lotus seed soup, Lin Mo smiled, "If you like to eat lotus seed soup, eat it, my sister doesn't like to eat it." ”

Lin Qiqi was not polite to Lin Mo at all, and when he said thank you, he ate the lotus seed soup, and praised the deliciousness while eating.

There were other little sisters next to her who couldn't stand it anymore, and said sneeringly, "It's like I've never seen anything to eat, but my aunt is different." ”

Lin Qiqi was not happy when she heard this, she raised her eyes and glared at her, but she was from the main room, and Lin Qiqi didn't dare to say anything.

The person who spoke, Lin Mo, knew that it was Lin Fengran, the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family, who was tricky and mean, and was not a master who was easy to get along with.

"Look at what you see." Lin Fengran glanced at her with disgust, "It's a shame for my father." ”

"You ......" Lin Qiqi looked at her aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice: "It's too much." ”

Xu felt that he couldn't get over it by being ridiculed in front of so many people, so Lin Qiqi put the bowl in Lin Mo's hand, and ran away from the table with tears in his eyes.

Lin Mo was very helpless with the bowl, a good family, he had to be like an enemy.

Lin Lingxue didn't know what she was doing just now, so Shanshan sat down.

She sat opposite Lin Mo, raised her eyes and glanced at the half bowl of lotus seed soup in Lin Mo's hand, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

After that, she was unusually quiet, as if she didn't see Lin Mo, and she ate slowly, only bowing her head and whispering to Lin Qingqing from time to time.

She doesn't look for trouble, and Lin Mo naturally treats her as non-existent.

After eating enough and having nothing to do, Lin Mo put the remaining half bowl of lotus seed soup in his hand on the table, and looked around with his chin propped up.

At this glance, I saw a familiar figure.

Coincidentally, it was the woman in goose yellow clothes who praised Feng Yichen on the street before.

It turns out that she is also a woman from an official family, no wonder she listened to a poem before, but she didn't know which lady it was?

When Lin Mo was bored, a maidservant girl walked up to her and whispered to her in her ear: "Miss, His Royal Highness King Yu asked the slave maid to tell Miss that he was waiting for Miss behind the rockery in the back garden." ”

Hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.

Backyard rockery?

She remembered that the rockery was a little off, and the rockery was to decorate the lotus pond, and there was a small alley behind the rockery and the fence.

That alley is very hidden, but it is a good place for private meetings.
