"Madam, uncle, the eldest lady in the west of the city is here, and the young grandmother of the Luo family is also here." When the little maid at the door came in to make a report, the Wu family and the aunt and sister-in-law of the Wu family in the upper courtyard were in full swing preparing for tonight's banquet.

"What are they doing here?" Mrs. Wu couldn't bear to speak out first, and she didn't forget to give a series of orders to the people below:

"Hurry up and set up the stage, have you invited the troupe, go and take a look again, the current celebration team is difficult to invite, and it is easy for me to agree with their class master. I heard that tonight, in addition to your homecoming, there is also a happy event for the lord of Huaqing County, and the second son of her family has won the list, and she will also invite the troupe. Her family has always been domineering, but it's better not to be robbed by them. ”

"How many years have my sister-in-law not dealt with the Huaqing County Lord," Wu said with a smile: "The Qingxi class is notoriously difficult to invite, but the sister-in-law can invite people to my home before the Huaqing County Lord, which is not the ability of others." ”

Her sister-in-law was originally the county lord of Yunnan Wangfu, and she didn't deal with Hua Qing, who was also the county lord, when she met for the first time. But now the lord of Huaqing County is friendly with Emperor Xu's concubines, so he doesn't take them seriously.

"Don't talk about me, your concubine and the two are still waiting outside." Mrs. Wu reminded her.

In the past few years, their mansion has been fighting with their eldest son and son-in-law, and because of fate, they have met with Li Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, the second young master of the Tang family of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Tiju of the Ministry of Households, and Lord Siyue of the Zongren Mansion and Lord Bai Yebai, the captain of the upper cavalry...... They have all become friends of Mo Rebellion, the in-laws are still the Du Yu Shi Lu family, and the ancient son who lives in his house all the year round today is the top student in high school.

This kind of opportunity is not envied by others, and the old man Gui, who looked down on his family in the past and has always held a grudge against the old lady, has also been a fifth-grade Dongge scholar, and has never been promoted or demoted, and even the third master has been promoted to the official rank of the fifth grade. It can't be said that the eldest master's family is not in a hurry.

Every time the Hui people are introspective, the eldest lord deliberately avoids their family, but the eldest lady can bend and stretch, and often hand over the post to attend a banquet with her to enjoy the flowers or something, until the beginning of this year, their sister Ying married into the famous Luo family to do the continuation, this family raised their eyebrows.

Wu didn't care about the twists and turns in their family's hearts, but her sister-in-law loved to lead her daughter to brush her presence proudly in front of everyone from time to time, which was annoying.

"Since you're here, then please." Wu said coldly.

When the eldest lady came in with a slightly bulging belly, Wu frowned almost inaudibly, and said, "Sister-in-law and Chu Ying are here, there are many people busy today, please forgive me for not greeting me well." ”

As he spoke, he summoned a little maid and said that he would take care of the young lady of the Luo family, so as not to let people accidentally touch it.

Now that Gui Chuying is pregnant, she can't afford to return home if something happens.

"I heard that Sister Cui and they are back, but I can't see the shadow of this person." Mrs. Gui sat on the chair and asked with a smile.

"After walking all the way, I just got home today, and I told her to rest." The Wu family dealt with the eldest lady on this side, and on the other hand, he had to order his subordinates to set up tables and chairs, and several cooks and mothers-in-law in the backyard kitchen also came one after another to ask for tonight's dishes.

"I heard that Sister Ci'er is also here, why haven't you seen it?" Mrs. Gui couldn't hide her inquiry into the family.

"What day is tonight, naturally I want to have a full feast, the whole deer sent by Bai Gongzi this morning is roasted, and the three lambs I asked someone to buy are also roasted together," Wu Shi talked to the people in the kitchen, and turned back to Mrs. Gui and said: "The old lady liked it when she saw Sister Ci'er, and the great-grandfather and grandson never left this day, but I didn't see the old lady which one she liked like this." ”

When Wu said this, although there was a hint of sourness in his tone, no one could deceive the trace of pleasure in his eyes.

Mrs. Gui's face was a little uneasy, in the past, when the Wu family begged her to be busy, she rarely mentioned the old lady in front of her.

"The third aunt doesn't have to take care of us, let's get busy first, I can't help anything, so I won't add to the chaos." It's still Chu Ying's knowledge, and he hurriedly said with a smile.

"Sister Ying has always been generous and decent, and knows how to be considerate." Wu Shi left this sentence without knowing whether it was a compliment or a derogatory remark, and hurriedly followed to the kitchen.

"She! What does she mean by that? I just asked her a few words, is it worth being so impatient? Mrs. Guida was a little annoyed.

After so many years, Mrs. Guida, who used to be the most exquisite, the most social, and the most elegant and elegant, often felt angry and ruined. All this stems from the fact that her family scenery is no longer beautiful, and the confidence and calmness of the past have also disappeared.

"Why is my mother so angry, the husband said that he will help my father speak in front of the second prince, as long as I stand firm in the Luo family, my father's future will be wide in the future."

Gui Chuying touched her bulging abdomen contentistically, dissatisfied with her mother's breathless appearance.

Now she is the second young grandmother of the Luo family, what kind of family is the Luo family, it is the cronies of Emperor Xu and the second prince, and it is a family that can proudly stand proudly in the official eunuch family in the capital for more than ten years.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Mrs. Guida hurriedly patted the back of her hand, and said that there are so many noisy people today, so she really shouldn't come.

"I want to come," unexpectedly Chu Ying said categorically: "I haven't seen my fourth sister for so many years, I should always see ......"

When she said the fourth sister, there was a very complicated look in her eyes, and Mrs. Gui didn't see it, but only muttered that a cowardly and cowardly person who only knows how to behave well, what is there for her.

In her impression, Guidiancui was still the one who accompanied the Wu family to kneel in front of the clan's concubines and wept bitterly, and she tried her best to please Chu Yu's sisters. Wave

Yes, why is there so much of an inconspicuous fourth sister who can't forget her, Gui Chuying's eyes flickered with unwillingness, how Second Young Master Luo married her, only she knows.

So every time she thought about it, she felt a little humiliated. And this humiliation in her heart did not come from Second Young Master Luo, but from Gui Diancui, her fourth cousin.

Let's say that Cui took a nap, woke up and sat up, and heard the door squeak open.

A maid in pale blue clothes brought a bird's nest soup, put it down gently, and called softly, "Madam." ”

"Qingqing! What are you doing here? "Diancui was surprised, when they went to Hangzhou, they left Qingqing in the Yuan Mansion, which was the former Zhuangyuan Mansion, and they were naturally happy to see each other today.

"Madam," Qingqing pounced and carefully knelt down in front of Diancui's knees, wiped her tears and said Finally, I saw Madame again, it was the adults who said that he would live with Madame for a while, and I came.

"Okay, okay." Diancui responded, and looked at Qingqing carefully, this maid opened, more and more quiet and elegant, making people look kind and comfortable.

"Madam, Qingqing will dress you up." Qingqing got up, and Ma Li'er handed over the warm water, twisted handkerchief, and made it a little green and clean noodles.

Sitting in front of the mirror, looking at his high bun, bright gold jewelry, and a smile, if you want to comb your hair and dress up, after so many years, no maid can catch up with Qingqing.

"Madame has another begonia flower, what is it?" Qingqing waited outside for Mrs. to wake up, and looked at it under the begonia tree for a long time, and there was a red flower that was like being soaked in rouge, which was matched with the golden silk auspicious clouds on Mrs. 's head, which must be very dazzling.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Dian Cui watched her insert the half-open begonia flowers on the side of her bun, and the end was delicate and abnormal.

Gently took the red gown sprinkled with gold big sleeves and high collar and the same color dragged the floor skirt to change with her, and put on the long-tailed flying crane Lingzhi golden arm chuan, Ganoderma lucidum is carved from a whole piece of ruby, and the gold pearl inlaid ruby bead hoop in front of the forehead is also commensurate.

"Wouldn't it be too young and lively......" Dian Cui was a little embarrassed.

When I was in Hangzhou, most of the women dressed plainly and elegantly, and paid attention to the beauty of a weak willow and a wind. When I arrived in the capital, although I was elegant and gorgeous, there were also sassy women who loved strong clothes. But she is not used to making her suddenly beautiful and gorgeous, and she is now a mother......

Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled, Mrs. Dao is not in the year of Huaxin this year, and she is young and lively when she dresses up like this. Besides, this is the most suitable temperament for the lady.

When it comes to dressing up and combing her hair, Qingqing is full of confidence.

"Okay, that's it, I like it too." After Dian Cui finished speaking, he smiled secretly. She is coquettish herself, especially the thick and small cherry lips, coupled with the bright cat eyes, she didn't dare to dress up in the past, for fear that someone would think that she seemed to be such a charming aunt...... Now that you are married to a woman, why don't you dare!

If anyone dares to say that she is like an aunt, her father-in-law Yuan Zhiheng is the first one who does not follow.

"Madame!" Dongxue and Xin'er came back from helping in the back kitchen, and when they entered the house, they saw such a "different" lady, and they were immediately amazed, Xin'er opened her mouth even wider, and muttered, Madam, how can you be so beautiful!

Diancui nodded her stunned head with her fingers, so angry and funny, this girl has been with her for ten years, and she still makes such an exclamation today.

"Miss, Yurou meets Miss." Yurou also came in, and she made a big salute.

Diancui hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, Yurou, why are you so haggard, but Yurou smiled and said Miss is becoming more and more beautiful and moving, if the second young master sees you like this, he must be very happy.

When all the maids flocked to the upper courtyard with Diancui, the eldest lady of the Wu family was here, and hurriedly stepped forward and said in a reproachful tone There are so many people here, why are you here.

"Miss is back!" I don't know who said it.

The people who were originally busy in the courtyard immediately knelt down to greet Miss, Miss Wanfu.

Diancui smiled slightly, most of them are old people who have returned to the house, there was a big incident when they returned to the house, and the family foundation was almost exhausted, and now they are still doing things in the home, and they are all loyal people.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, everyone, it's going to be hard for you today." The tone is cordial but atmospheric.

Dressed in red, delicate and majestic, he is now standing in the middle of everyone and the appearance of Guidiancui.

Like this, she was like a thorn in Gui Chuying's eyes, and then into her heart. She didn't know how to speak for a while, but unfortunately Diancui only cared about talking to the maid below, and didn't notice her at all.
