There are already many guests in the birthday banquet hall of the eldest lady, and there are not as many rules as the eldest lady's birthday, everyone is talking and laughing, and chatting with each other.

But only the magnates of the Inner Mansion can come, and people like the Seventh Young Master are not even qualified to come. The young masters had a special area to gather, but as soon as Xiao Nan came, everyone didn't dare to make a sound, they just came over to ask him for a good time, and everyone looked at Wanyue with a trace of fear in their eyes.

Xiao Nan didn't care, he tidied up his long shirt, sat there and drank tea, and after staying in the Xiao Mansion for a long time, he gradually learned a set of aristocratic styles, and his gestures were like a real nobleman. For example, he didn't know how to use the teacup with a bowl, but now he can scratch tea very skillfully and elegantly.

Those congratulatory gifts, all precious, were placed on a special "booth" in the middle of the banquet hall, layer by layer like a pagoda, for people to enjoy.

The phoenix hairpin sent by Xiao Nan was placed on the top, shining brightly under the light, which amazed all visitors.

Soon, when all the guests arrived, the principal announced that everyone was seated, and the maids who served the dishes neatly entered and gave each table candied fruit desserts one by one.

Because the eldest lady pretended to say that she was not holding a birthday banquet, but only inviting people from all houses to come and gather, she did not prepare hot dishes for all years, and of course, the people who came here were not here to eat.

Although it is not a real banquet, in fact, each fruit plate is extremely exquisite, the ingredients that can be carved are carved with ingenuity, and the wine on it is also a staggering amount of expensive elixir.

Xiao Nan asked Wanyue and Furong to sit with him, Furong didn't dare to sit, only dared to stand behind them with her hands down, and after finishing the food, the director shouted: "Welcome grandma ~~~~"

Everyone stood up, except for those children of the Xiao family who stood up and bowed, everyone else knelt down. But Wanyue didn't kneel, only supporting Xiao Nan.

The eldest lady was wearing a gorgeous and improved palace dress, combing the hair of a Republic of China woman, but her hair was full of pearls and heavy makeup, and she was helped out by the maid.

As soon as she came out, everyone said in unison: "I wish the eldest grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan~~"

"Get up." The eldest grandmother sat on her own main seat, and at this time, the fast-talking aunt had sharp eyes and said in surprise: "Big wife! This set of jade jewelry of yours is truly unique in the sky and on earth! I'm afraid that the queens of the past generations can't compare to you! ”

Everyone's eyes looked at it, only to see that the eldest lady hung a string of jade pendants around her neck, earrings, rings, and bracelets were all sets, not to mention how exquisite the workmanship was, just the "Cui Huang" beauty after being cut, so that everyone was fascinated, and they were reluctant to look away for a long time.

Wanyue saw it, but her face was displeased, and she looked at Xiao Nan slightly-what should have been Xiao Nan was snatched by this vulgar old woman to show off. Xiao Nan didn't have any expression, he didn't care about these things outside his body, he bothered to run his own business every day, in the final analysis, he also wanted to save more money to open up a way back for the people around him.

Sure enough, everyone began to flatter one after another, exaggerating the wife's ageless appearance and the country's natural fragrance, which complemented the emerald treasure of this body, and even said that the eldest lady is the first beauty in the world to maintain her youth forever. Mrs. Le was overjoyed.

The birthday banquet is a flattery contest. Xiao Nan saw through this, but he never said a word, he never liked to be in this kind of situation, let alone praise the old witch of the eldest lady against his will.

The big lady has a set of various surfaces and a set behind it, saying that she wants to keep a low profile, but in fact, the pomp and circumstance of this birthday banquet is not less at all, and then look at everyone's fear and welcome for her, you can see how lustful and powerful this woman is.

In response, the eldest lady said something about the scene, and deliberately mentioned Xiao Nan, saying how filial Xiao Nan was to her elders and courteous and humble, which really gave Xiao Nan enough face, after all, the set of jewelry that even she herself was bewitched by was given by Xiao Nan.

The eldest lady also deliberately asked Xiao Nan to stay alone after the birthday banquet to chat with her about family life, which was obviously a "special care" for him, so Xiao Nan hurriedly thanked him.

The drinking party finally officially began, and he even had to play the kind of wine order that was very traditional in feudal society, fortunately, Xiao Nan had been reading books and reading hard every day for half a year, but in fact, he was making up for various ancient cultures, and the poems were neat. He never thought that the protagonists in the film and television dramas who traveled through the past would study as hard as himself, and they lived every day as if they were preparing for the graduate school entrance examination.

Perhaps it is precisely because he blends the memories of scholars, learns new knowledge, and tries his best to understand the people and things of this era, which has become his habit, and he has written several notebooks just to record the customs and customs of what he has seen and heard. As a noble young master, it can be said that it is completely useless to record this, but he is addicted to it. In his notebook, he even sketched the ordinary laboring civilians he saw, and the drawings were vivid.

However, not long after the reception began, there was a great change that made the whole venue stunned, because at such a time, there were still guests who were late.

This is not an unintentional lateness, but a deliberate "dismount"!

In the entire Xiao Mansion, apart from the eldest master, who else has the guts?

Even the eldest lady has never seen such rudeness in decades.

So who is this daring man?

Everyone held their breath and looked at the gate. I only listened to the housekeeper's report: "Miss Nineteen is here~"

Immediately, I saw a maid bowing down and helping a woman dressed in a dazzling treasure to slowly step into the threshold. The woman held her head high, and wore a whole set of ornaments no less than the eldest lady's jadeite, and there was no doubt that the jadeite on the two of them must have been made of the same rough stone, because there could never be a second piece of jadeite material in the world that could have such a brilliant beauty.

And this new arrogant woman just made an irregular blessing to the eldest lady slightly, and said casually: "Xiaoci has come to pay a birthday greeting to the eldest grandmother!" ”

She said that, but she didn't bring anything.

"Bold!" At this time, a grumpy mother-in-law beside the eldest lady suddenly pointed at Xiao Ci and scolded, "What kind of nineteen miss are you, but you have won a little favor from the master, and you even call yourself a member of the Xiao family!" I don't kneel down when I see my grandmother! ”

Xiao Ci rolled her eyes, shook her head and said: "It was the eldest lord who personally appointed me as Miss Nineteen, next month I will get married and marry into the marshal's mansion, and the eldest lord personally promised me to give me a big pomp." Which green onion are you, and you dare to say me? ”

After that, I saw her clapping her hands, and two men wearing purple clothes but hoods and covering their faces came in from outside the door!

These two people are undoubtedly the real "purple slaves", and now they are under the control of Xiao Ci, no wonder she is so arrogant!

I saw that the two purple-clothed slaves took out their daggers without saying a word, and wiped the woman's neck in an instant, causing a scream from the grandmother!

However, the rest of the Xiao family was so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and they didn't dare to say anything. Because of the same drama, Xiao Nan has already "done" it once before.

The two men acted swiftly, and after killing the mother-in-law, they immediately carried her body down, leaving only a pool of blood on the carpet.

Xiao Ci said arrogantly: "Now there is no housewife like the eldest grandmother in the Dashuai Mansion, and there are a lot of things in the family, waiting for my daughter-in-law to sort it out - in the future, when I get married, I will be on an equal footing with the eldest grandmother, so I have to learn more from the eldest grandmother, do you say?" ”

The implication is that she married into the Dashuai Mansion and is also the "big grandmother" of the Dashuai Mansion.

The Xiao family and the Yao family, one holds financial power and the other holds military power, and they are equally divided, and it is really hard to say which is higher and which is lower.

It is precisely because of this that Xiaoci is so powerful and feared by everyone.

The face of the grandmother is called a wonderful, cloudy and sunny for a long time, and this kind of person is actually extremely shameless, after experiencing anger and fear, he suddenly changed into a smiling face, and walked over to hold Xiaoci's arm and said: "Oh, my good daughter, that mother-in-law is not sensible, I have long wanted to quit her, and I have to clean up the hallway for me." Come on, we've got a room full of people waiting for you! ”

Xiao Ci smiled meaningfully, and walked hand in hand with her to the main seat.

After sitting on the main seat, Xiao Ci was surprised: "Oh, that phoenix hairpin is really good-looking, who gave it away?" ”

The eldest grandmother smiled: "Aren't you the thirteenth young man who is the most proficient at doing things?" ”

Xiao Ci sighed and looked at Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan could only bow her head slightly to greet her, she sneered, and said: "Thirteen young people used to cry poor, but now the good goods in the family are better than one piece." ”

The eldest grandmother came directly to the birthday gift booth, personally held the phoenix hairpin in both hands, and sent it to Xiaoci and said: "If my daughter likes it, she will give you a dowry, and she will be happy to wear it on the day of the wedding." Hey, don't wait to get married, I'll put it on for you! ”

said that with the help of a few maids, he personally put it on Xiaoci. After that, there were all kinds of flattery and all kinds of boring homely things.

Everyone then started the second wave of the offensive of double compliments to Xiaoci and the grandmother.

However, Xiao Ci suddenly smiled and said with a smile when the eldest lady was holding her hand affectionately: "I heard that the official named Shu Yang in the eldest lady's mansion is a beautiful man and a wonderful person, why didn't you see him come this time?" ”

Her words made the eldest lady suddenly retract her hand, and her face became even more ugly.

It turns out that there is indeed such a person in the yard of the eldest lady, but outsiders don't know about his existence at all, saying that he is an officer, but in fact he is the secret male pet of the eldest wife, this Xiaoci is so terrible, he knows such a secret thing!

If this matter gets too big and gets to the big man, her life will be gone!

Xiao Ci was victorious in her eyes, and said in her heart: Who the hell is your daughter! The old woman dares to admit her relatives casually!

This Shu Yang was unknown to everyone, but when Xiao Ci said this, everyone knew it. This Xiaoci relied on being well-informed to inquire and climb up before, and she is really a woman who is not afraid of death! Thanks to her shit luck, she hooked up with the big marshal's mansion, and I don't know how to please the big man. If it had been replaced, ordinary people would have died a long time ago!

The eldest lady can be said to have been greatly humiliated, and by the way, the secret she carefully hid was directly exposed, how could she not be angry?! But she still had to keep quiet, otherwise she would confirm her ugly things, so she said: "That little guy, but he came in a few days ago, I haven't seen him, daughter, you are really good, if you like it, ask him to serve." ”

"Ouch, I'm about to get married, but I don't dare to take any man to the yard." Xiaoci's words were extremely vicious, and one sentence stabbed the eldest lady in disgrace.

The eldest lady was breathless and stood up at once. Pointing at his subordinates, he scolded: "Go! Call that one called Shu Yang! Where did the wild man come from! It made the masters uneasy! ”

At that moment, someone who knew how to do things went to pull the male pet over, and when the male pet was dragged over, I saw that his mouth was bloody, and he was sent over with his tongue cut!

"This bastard who kills a thousand knives! I don't know how to tell right and wrong, pull it out and chop it! The eldest grandmother instructed. She seems to be scolding Shu Yang, but in fact she is scolding Xiao Ci, and she can't wait to cut Xiao Ci with a thousand knives!

Xiao Ci just smiled and ate tea, and watched the excitement.

Xiao Nan suddenly said at this time: "Grandma, I don't think this servant will be guilty of death, he has already had his tongue cut, it is better to let him go, it is also a human life." ”

In the past, he had no power, but he was powerless to stop the murder of the eldest master, and even he was in danger, but now it is different. He felt that since he was able, he should come out and say more.

And his simple sentence was interpreted differently by everyone at the scene, speculating what his intentions were and which side he was going to stand on.

Hearing this, Xiao Ci narrowed his eyes and said, "Thirteen young people are really a bodhisattva, since you pity him, I think it would be better to let someone send him to your yard." If he is cured, even if he has no mouth, he can please you, what Major General Dong, what Qiu Zixue, and the handsome little student Miao Feng who has recently arrived next to you, not all of them are Peugeot people! ”

When she said this, she sarcastically mocked Xiao Nan's preference for men inside and out, and even knew Miao Feng's name.

As soon as she finished speaking, she slapped her face again, and the two purple-clothed slaves actually came in again and dragged Shu Yang away, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Only the eldest lady, whose face has turned the color of pig liver.
