Old Madam Xue looked at the costumes of several people, couldn't help but nodded, and finally took Xue Ling's hand and explained carefully, "Ah Ling, if you feel a little uncomfortable, just tell me, we will come back early after dinner." ”

Xue Ling knew that Old Lady Xue was worried that she would be thin-skinned.

She didn't explain, just nodded in response.

The Xue family was not extravagant, and each family only had the housewife with a few girls.

The Xue family is not in charge of the house now, and Mrs. Xue is the biological mother of the Xue family, so she brought four people to go.

When she got into the carriage, Xue Lian's skirt fluttered out, and Xue Ling noticed that the skirt was embroidered with broken flowers.

Elegant.

Xue Ling realized that it was a dance skirt.

It seems that Xue Lian is still planning to perform in front of people.

Xue Ling didn't wear it either.

just helped Xue Yan into the car.

Xue Lian found that Xue Ling glanced at her skirt and was a little uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to talk to Xue Ling, "Third sister, what additional birthday gift did you prepare for your aunt?" ”

Xue Ling said, "No, didn't the Xue family already prepare a gift, and didn't say that we had to prepare another one in private." ”

Xue Lian said on the side, "I'm just asking in vain, I heard that the second sister of the Wu family also went today, as well as the cousin of the Qiu family, and the sister Jiang of your uncle's family, I thought that you would prepare some birthday gifts in private as usual." ”

Xue Ling didn't say anything, just raised her head and looked at Xue Lian.

didn't say much, the world is like this, even if she is unwilling to take this road, but it seems that the only way left for girls is marriage.

If this is the case, then every girl must want to find a good man with a good family background and good looks.

That's just the right thing to do.

She will not deny it because her choice is different, but she knows very well in her heart that King Jiangling is very strict about the family background of her future daughter-in-law.

I had several dealings with King Gangneung.

Xue Ling had a feeling in her heart that the marriage between King Jiangling and her aunt was not as happy as the world saw at all.

In other words, when King Gangneung married his aunt and entered the door, he should have had a secret secret.

Therefore, in Nangong Chen's marriage, King Jiangling will definitely not give in.

Then, like himself, these girls are nothing more than a tool used by King Gangneung to hide people's eyes.

Xue Ling looked at Xue Lian and didn't sympathize, "What does the second sister want to say?" ”

Xue Lian was obviously immersed in anticipation, "It's nothing. ”

Old Lady Xue frowned, "Ah Lian, don't tell your sister this. ”

The carriage landed in front of the side door of the palace.

High walls and green tiles.

This place is no stranger to several people.

However, for Xue Ling, she has not been here this year.

"Grandmother, there are already a few carriages parked over there, and it seems that we are a little late."

Xue Ling raised his head and took a look, after his father passed away in the previous life, Xue Ling had hardly come.

The memory is still stuck in three years ago.

The mansion occupies a large area, and after entering from the side, the carriage and horses are changed.

Among the four girls, Xue Lian had an irrepressible joy today, "Grandmother, it's so fragrant, the fragrance of this plum blossom seems to be very elegant." I remember that my aunt loved the pride of plum the most, and the ones in our backyard were also planted when my aunt was not out of the pavilion? ”

Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Xue's expression eased a little, and she said, "Your aunt loved plum blossoms when she was your age. ”

Then he sighed and said, "Speaking of which, this garden full of plum blossoms was still planted by the prince." ”

When it came to Nangong Chen, Mrs. Xue was afraid that Xue Ling would be unhappy, so she didn't say more.

Xue Lian obviously hadn't heard enough, but she still obediently didn't say more.

Xue Lian knows how to read words and feelings, and Mrs. Xue still appreciates it very much.

Every year of Xue's birthday, King Jiangling will handle major events for her, which is different from the excitement of previous years, and this year is much calmer.

When I stepped into the lobby, I saw many people sitting on the seats, all of whom were boudoir ladies from various families.

There was a chatter in the room.

Seeing a few people walking over, all their eyes converged and fell on Xue Ling's body.

Xue Ling glanced around, and the girls who came were all known to her.

The four major witch doctor families are involved with each other because of their in-laws.

The girls of the witch doctor family know each other.

The girls' seats are next to their elders.

Old Lady Xue was at the front.

Xue Ling followed her grandmother, so close that she could feel her grandmother's complicated feelings.

Under the decency, there is a faint heaviness and helplessness.

The son has just passed away, and the first time he appeared in front of the public was his daughter's birthday.

Mrs. Xue represents a family and accepts scrutinizing eyes.

This kind of mood, Xue Ling doesn't need to think about it, he can feel it.

But for the sake of the big family's face, Mrs. Xue still has to be decent.

After Xue Ling sat down, she saw the Jiang family sitting next to her, so she looked in the direction of the Jiang family, and her aunt Zhou smiled at her.

Jiang Tingxue, who was behind the Zhou family, winked at Xue Ling.

This time for the birthday banquet, what the idea of the family is nothing more than to come for Nangong Chen and the position of the witch master.

In the previous life, Xue Ling didn't come, and the bottom also had some sense of evasion.

Now that she held Xue Yan's hand, the look on her face was not meaningless, but really meaningless.

Ignoring all the gazes, Xue Ling stepped forward to pay respects.

Xue's feelings for Xue Ling now are very complicated, with guilt and regret, but it is more of the shock after seeing Xue Ling and King Jiangling recommend themselves with their own eyes.

So now she is not only an intimacy with Xue Ling, but also a kind of attention.

Then a voice rang out.

"In previous years, on the birthday of the princess, Xue San's sister would embroider double-sided embroidery to celebrate her birthday, which opened our eyes every year, I don't know what Xue San's sister prepared for the princess this year."

Xue Ling almost forgot that she used to be the future daughter-in-law of the Xue family, and every year for her birthday, she naturally prepared embroidery with extra care. But no one mentioned it, and she was about to forget.

In the past, she embroidered with both hands at the same time, which did not affect each other, and last time under the guidance of her mother, she used to use her left hand to sew needles for Wu's family, Xue Ling only felt that the two hands were no longer obedient.

Double-sided embroidery, she should never touch it again.

She looked over and saw that it was the second girl of the Wu family who spoke, and the small character was Zhenzhen.

The second girl Wu is fifteen years old this year, she is Xue Feng's cousin, and she is also the oldest among the girls, and the girl sitting next to her is only twelve years old, and she is the fifth girl of the Wu family.

Xue Ling looked at the second girl Wu, and said with a pun, "It's all in Jiangling, the affairs of the Xue family are already well known, although Sister Wu grew up in the boudoir, I don't believe you don't know what happened to my Xue family, so if you ask such a question in public, I will think that you are deliberately embarrassing me." ”

Second Miss Wu obviously didn't expect Xue Ling to answer so directly, and her face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't answer.
