Aunt Qixia is a qualified old man in the palace, and she is a figure with a head and a face, and now she represents Concubine De Niangniang, and the old lady naturally wants to receive it.

Looking at Concubine De's birthday gift again, it turned out to be a good Dongtian Yuyu Ruyi pair, the old lady was secretly surprised, her face did not show the landscape, but she was just gossiping.

After saying some words, Aunt Qi Xia changed her words, looked at Duanmu Qing on the side, and said with a smile: "What is the eldest lady busy with today?" Niangniang has talked about you a few times, and it seems that she likes the eldest lady very much! Let me go to the palace and sit down. ”

Knowing this, it means that the matter of the Wang Nei Shi has been investigated clearly, and a decent smile appeared on his face, "Meng Niangniang's love, the little girl is frightened, please ask the aunt to greet the mother on behalf of the little girl." ”

The old lady turned her face to look at Duanmu Qing, she didn't have a surprised expression, she was puzzled in her heart, and said with a smile: "When did you get the blue eyes of Concubine De?" Don't be naughty. ”

Aunt Qixia hurriedly said: "The old lady is serious, the last time the queen mother's birthday banquet happened, the eldest lady was worried that our mother misunderstood the house, so she went to the palace to apologize to our mother, and said something for a while, and then the lady said that the eldest lady knows books and etiquette, and talks about it at a young age, and she likes it very much." ”

Only then did she put her mind at ease, and the old lady smiled: "Although he is not very old, he is also twelve or thirteen years old, how can he not know this little bit of etiquette?" Don't lift her up, but let the crowd see the joke. ”

After talking for a while, Aunt Qixia took her leave, and the female guests from other provinces also came to pay their respects.

Lin Shi hurriedly said: "Although it has passed the Futian, but this autumn tiger is not a joke, there are too many turbidity and turbidity is surging, I am afraid that my mother will not be able to stand it, my daughter-in-law has already set up a banquet in the water pavilion in the garden, or move to the water pavilion to entertain guests!" It's cool and open. ”

When the old lady heard this, she happily agreed, and then turned back and instructed: "Let the Li family send some people to watch the Rongxi Hall, people come and go, don't be alarmed by my pair of yellow warblers." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and led everyone to the water pavilion, people came and went, and it was lively, and the male guests were all received by Duanmujun, Duanmuyi and Duanmuhe in the outer courtyard.

For a time, the water pavilion was full of flowers, the clothes were fragrant, the ladies and ladies were smiling and smiling, and the proprietor Li Jiaxiao was talking endlessly.

Duanmu Zi followed the Li family to receive the female guests in front, and Duanmu Qing and Duanmu Su just sat next to the old lady and entertained their relatives in colorful clothes.

"Why don't you see the second lady?"

It was lively here, and Li Ningshuang came over with a noblewoman.

Just the eight treasures on the head have been decorated with pearls and jade, and a huge night pearl is shining, which is the handwriting of Si Zhenfang.

The carved five-color brocade gold embroidered silk skirt is brilliant, and it overshadows the demeanor of the female guests present.

The voice was a little stiff and arrogant, and he instantly looked like a proud peacock.

The person who came was Mrs. Li, that is, the biological mother of the queen's mother, who was named Mrs. Chaoyipin, which can be regarded as unique in the whole Xiqi.

Even the old lady had to get up and salute her.

Li Ningshuang is the eldest daughter of Li Mao, the Duke of Qi, because her mother died early, she was raised by her mother's side since she was a child, and because she knew how to grasp the tip and please the tricks, she was very liked by the Duchess of the Kingdom.

Yes, although there is a difference between him and the queen, the relationship is also very good.

In addition, before the emperor ascended the throne, the Li family was not Xuanhe, so Li Ningshuang married into the Duanmu family as a concubine, which was not considered a low marriage.

"My daughter-in-law is not in good health, everyone today, for my sake, she is not easy to come over on a festive day, so I let her rest in her own room." The old lady smiled and entertained.

Although this Li family is indispensable, the Yongding Marquis Mansion is not an ordinary family, and Li Ningshuang married here, so naturally he has to have a good relationship.

It's just that I received the news that Li Ningshuang came home a few days earlier, and I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

"The old lady is really distressed, but our monkey jumps up and down all day long, I'm afraid that the Yongding Marquis Mansion will not be in shape, when I was at home in the past, I didn't care about her, in the end it was frizzy, the old lady has to be disciplined well, otherwise others will laugh at our Qi State Mansion." Mrs. Li smiled a little.

The old lady's heart was like a mirror, and when she heard this, she didn't know what she meant, and her face was a little unhappy.

But in the face of so many people, he still greeted: "Madame is humble, those who can work harder, and I want to come to Jun'er because Aunt Li is in a stable form to hand over this matter to her." ”

In his previous life, he had never paid attention to Mrs. Li, and Duanmuqing realized at this time that the relationship between Mrs. Li and the old lady seemed to be very delicate, and it didn't seem to be very good, but he didn't want to tear his face.

Duanmu Qing glanced at the Zhou family, and the Zhou family understood, and said with a smile: "Duchess Guo doesn't know, Aunt Li can do it!" If it weren't for her, how could my sister-in-law and I be lazy for so many years, her identity as an aunt, the pressure on her is not ordinary, and other aunts in the house will inevitably be unconvinced.

After all, after so many years, I have had enough of grievances, the old lady and the second brother are now unhappy, you don't have to feel distressed, the old lady has it in her heart! ”

Zhou is a fast-talking person, and he has long seen that Li Ningshuang is not pleasing to the eye, at this moment, there is such an opportunity, where is the reason to let go, naturally the more thorny he is, the more he likes it.

Sure enough, there is an aunt in one mouth, it is called crisp and loud, and there are so many people's faces, but there is no face at all.

Hearing this, they immediately thought that Li Ningshuang was relying on the power of her mother's family, bullying the sick and weak, and squeezing the big house and the third room, with a disdainful look.

Originally, the thorn in Zhou's words was very obvious, but the old lady did not say anything to stop it, and let her go, as if she didn't hear the sound at all.

This confirmed Duanmu Qing's conjecture even more.

Li Ningshuang is the daughter of the old lady's sister, and she has been raised by Mrs. Li's side since she was a child, why did these two people not match?

Without thinking about it carefully, Duanmu Qing took the old lady's hand and said with a smile: "Grandmother loves mother, don't be embarrassed, aunt is, today's grandmother's good life, regardless of grandmother's longevity, how can you be rewarded here for meritorious deeds?" ”

The topic was lifted in two sentences, and the atmosphere was immediately relaxed. Mrs. Li and Li Ningshuang were a little trembling with anger, but the old lady had already turned her head and laughed with Duanmu Qing.

In the end, she is here to be a guest, although she originally wanted to support Li Ningshuang, but the matter has come to this point, she is a member of the Guogong Mansion, and she can't always be stingy and always hold on to one thing!

With an embarrassed face, he sat down in the seat of the guest, although someone came to gossip, after all, he was a little sullen and absent-minded.

There is a large stone in the lake outside the water pavilion, so Lin and Zhou chose some early blooming daisies in the flower room, with hibiscus and autumn ying, and built a big flower plate, and in the middle is a big longevity character, which is very ingenious.

I invited a group of small operas, sat in the boat, and didn't need any drama, just picked a few long tunes and sang slowly with the sound of the pipa.

Suddenly, there was another lively voice, but it was the men from the outer courtyard who came into the garden.

Fortunately, Duanmu Jun has always been a scholar and a courtesy-minded son, and he had already ordered people to place seats in the blue water pool not far away, although he did not deliberately avoid it, but it would not be rude.

It's just that the ladies in the water pavilion are inevitably a little restless, Duanmuhe is bold and makes friends, and the young talents of Tianjing are all good friends with him.

What kind of birthday banquet is held by big families on weekdays, most of them will not participate, but at this time, for the sake of Duanmuhe, the ten ** actually came.

Listening to the sound from the blue water pool not far away, where are there still people who can listen to the song, most of them pricked up their ears to listen to the movement over there.

Duanmu Zi sat upright, looking at the scenery on the lake with peaceful eyes, and said a few words to Mrs. Li from time to time, which also made Mrs. Li's mood a lot better.

Duanmu Qing, who had been sitting with the old lady for a day, was a little bored, looking at Yan Yan Yan in front of him, and suddenly missed Qiu Tian of Wen Yaxuan.

In his previous life, every time there was something in the house, his mother never attended, and stayed quietly in Wen Yaxuan alone, but he didn't have any emotions, and he never seemed to care about these things.

Gradually, she got used to it, and she herself was the same, habitually suppressing her emotions.

However, after experiencing death and soul tearing, she now cares about family affection, as if she wants to pick up the things she ignored in her previous life.

The things she did to the old lady were not entirely to deal with the Li family and Duanmu Zi, in fact, to a large extent, she really cared, after all, this old man who didn't love her in her previous life was her grandmother.

Just like Duan Muhe, his concern will make her happy, and when there is something, she will soon want to ask this brother for help, which is a kind of family bond.

"Grandmother," Duanmu Qing whispered in the old lady's ear, "I want to go and see my mother." ”

Although I don't know what happened to make my eldest granddaughter, who has never been close to anyone, change so much, it is clear that this change is worth rejoicing.

Coming out of the water pavilion, Duanmu Qing asked Cai Wei to carry a few boxes of refreshing snacks and went to Wen Yaxuan together.

Feng Nuan still followed Duanmu Qing's side closely, and Cai Wei left and right.

Seeing that he had arrived at Wen Yaxuan's door, Feng Nuan suddenly paused and shouted, "Who?" ”

Duanmu Qing and Cai Wei were both stunned, and before they could ask, Feng Nuan jumped out in one direction like a shadow, only to see that there seemed to be a person flashing there.

Hurriedly handed over the handful of flowers in his hand to Cai Wei, and Duanmu Qing ran over there.
