When Lu Guanlan returned to the flower hall with Ah Li, he was just in time for the banquet.

I saw that Mrs. Chen was surrounded by a group of female dependents, the old lady was dressed in red brocade today, and she was wearing a pearl-inlaid forehead on her crane hair, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

When everyone saw that the old birthday star was coming, they saluted one after another.

At this time, Song Yuemei saw Lu Guanlan coming from the back garden, and walked quickly to her, as if she was a little disgusted: "Where did the eldest lady go to hang out, but my aunt is easy to find." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled and said nothing.

Just came from the back garden, and saw that Song Yuemei was talking with the ladies of various families in Beijing, where did she seem to be looking for her.

Chen Ruoxuan, who was supporting her grandmother here, saw Lu Guanlan from a distance and hurriedly blinked her eyes to greet her.

While listening to the compliments of everyone, Mrs. Chen turned her head to see that her little granddaughter seemed to be looking at something, and when she followed her gaze, she saw a delicate little girl standing behind the crowd, as if she was isolated from the world.

"You little monkey, which lady did you make friends with again?" Old Madam Chen retracted her gaze and asked in a low voice.

Chen Ruoxuan smiled and leaned close to her grandmother's ear and said, "This is a good sister, she is kind and straightforward, grandmother, you must like it." ”

"The Third Prince has arrived!" As soon as the words fell, I listened to the report of the servant.

Everyone's eyes looked towards the comer, and they saw that the three princes were dressed in moon-white brocade robes and had a graceful demeanor, like characters coming from a painting, which made many of the ladies present dumbfounded.

Lu Guanlan looked at it coldly.

Back then, like these ladies, I admired this man at first sight, but who knows what the ending will be.

With a smile on his face, Cheng Ye was watched by everyone and walked to Mrs. Chen's side, bowing slightly: "Today's old lady's birthday, I wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan, and the father will give a birthday gift, so that the younger generation can bring it today to celebrate the old lady's birthday." ”

After speaking, Cheng Ye nodded to the entourage beside him, and the entourage opened the brocade box he was holding in his hand.

In the brocade box, there is a dazzling East Pearl.

The old lady smiled kindly, "Where does Your Highness speak, how dare the old body listen to His Highness call a junior," as she spoke, she handed the cane in her hand to her granddaughter, and bowed down her slightly rickety body, "Thank Your Majesty for the reward." ”

Cheng Ye picked up Mrs. Chen, smiled and helped the old lady to take a seat.

At this time, the male guests in the front hall also arrived, everyone slowly sat down, and the birthday banquet began.

Mrs. Chen likes to listen to operas, and as soon as the invited troupe finished singing, Mrs. General Chen said: "Xuan'er, this girl practiced a song of silk and bamboo for the old lady the day before yesterday, and the old lady has to take a look today." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ruoxuan got up and bowed her head, asked someone to bring the guqin, and raised her sleeve to stroke the strings.

The sound of the piano is curling and the sound is in the ears.

Lu Guanlan buried his head in drinking tea, glanced at Lu Jingzhu sitting next to her, and saw a little apprehension on her face.

She had already reminded Lu Jingzhu not to touch other people's things, but Lu Jingzhu still had such thoughts, so it was time for her to suffer.

After the song was finished, everyone was amazed, and they all said that General Chen's daughter played the piano well, which made people fascinated by it.

As soon as Chen Ruoxuan's piano fell, there was a young lady from the waiter's family who wanted to offer a poem.

It's easy to treat everyone with all the things that should be offered, and it is their turn to be the daughter of the Lu family, Lu Lianqing's originally arrogant temperament suddenly became timid, and she pulled Lu Lianhua's sleeve on the side and said: "How can these young ladies know how to have some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I knew that this was the case, I might as well embroider a purse for the old lady." ”

Lu Lianhua smiled, she has never liked to be in the limelight, but she is the eldest sister - thinking about it, Lu Lianhua looked at Lu Guanlan, the eldest sister's danqing will definitely make Mrs. Chen happy.

"Old lady, the little girl has heard that the old lady Chen was a heroine in the middle of the woman when she was young, although the little girl has lived in the boudoir for a long time, but she also admires the old lady's demeanor, the day before yesterday she painted a picture of Danqing for the old lady, and today she will bring the ugliness," Lu Jingzhu slowly got up and glanced at Ping'er.

Ping'er hurriedly took out the picture scroll that had been hidden for a long time from the wrapped gray cloth and handed it to Lu Jingzhu.

Lu Jingzhu took it, with a warm and soft smile on his face, slowly walked to Mrs. Chen, and presented the picture scroll.

Old Madam Chen knew that this was the second lady of Shangshu Mansion, and although the family did not have much contact on weekdays, the old lady also knew the status of Lu Bingyan now, and knew that the emperor now valued these civil officials.

smiled and said, "Miss Lu Er has a heart," he said, and asked someone to open the picture scroll.

The painting scroll is spread out, and what is presented in front of everyone is the heroic posture of Mrs. Chen's women's eyebrows, this brush is expressive, it can be said that the person in the painting is alive, and the person outside the painting is painted into the painting.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and even Cheng Ye, who was watching the performance on the side, couldn't help but be fascinated.

Lu Bingyan was sitting on the men's seat, and when he saw this painting, he felt familiar, and forgot where it was for a while.

Before he could figure it out, he heard people around him praise him for having a good daughter and such earth-shattering painting skills.

Lu Bingyan was also immediately carried away, and only listened to everyone's compliments.

Lu Guanlan looked at everyone's appearance and felt a little funny, at this time, there were so many words of compliment and appreciation, and he didn't know how it would end later.

Li Duan found the most secluded place to sit, didn't bother to watch any performances, just quietly watched Lu Guanlan's every move.

Seeing Lu Guanlan gently lifting the veil and eating snacks, he looked like he was afraid that people would find a rash under his veil, and he felt a little cute.

At this time, Lu Jingzhu enjoyed everyone's praise, and the smile on his face became more and more bright.

saw that Old Madam Chen's originally friendly face sank in an instant, and she suddenly pulled Danqing and threw it on the ground.
