34. There is no clue, and there are five more storms outside the curtain.

"Miss, the third miss is here"

"Come in, please."

"The third sister is snowing again this morning, why did she come over?"

"Fourth sister, I didn't bother you."

"No, I'm just idle and playing the piano."

"Fourth sister, I'm very panicked."

"The third sister is proposing marriage for the Tian family?"

Ruzhu didn't say anything, and silently turned her head away.

"My sister is dissatisfied with this marriage?"

"No, no, no, I, I just heard that I was going to marry him, and I have been reminiscing about his appearance since last night."

After speaking, he blushed and lowered his head.

"Haha, what are you ashamed of, sister, it seems that you are very happy. Panic is a must. If nothing happens, he will be my brother-in-law in the future. ”

"The fourth sister is not funny, even if I like it, I don't know if he is like this."

"The third sister was worried about this. Tell me that my sister is filial and caring, and she loves and hates, how can he not love. As long as my sister treats each other with sincerity, I believe that in time she will be reconciled with her brother-in-law."

"At your age, you know a lot, and I still look down on you on weekdays."

"Even if the third sister doesn't believe me, can't she still believe my grandmother? Her old man's love for you is enough to show that the Tian family is your good destination. ”

After Ruzhu heard this, her heart was quite uncomfortable, among the three sisters, Ruyan is a concubine, and she is infinitely glorious; Although she is a concubine, she has been protected by her grandmother since she was a child, and she has not suffered any grievances; Now it seems that Rumeng is the hardest, weaned, and left his biological mother after water, although he was raised at the second lady's place, but it was also a single courtyard, and he didn't necessarily have to look at it for a day.

Since she was a child, she was not good at communicating with these children, and everywhere she went, she was alone. Because she refused to play with herself, she was hated by herself, and from then on, she was going to rob her of everything.

"Fourth sister, I'm sorry, I used to treat you like that, but you never said that I was half bad."

"Third sister, where are you talking, you and I are in the same breath, how can there be no stumbling between sisters, we used to be able to quarrel, if we all get married and leave the house in the future, we must not meet each other for a year. Sisters in this life are already fate, how can they waste on hatred. ”

"Sometimes I think that the fourth sister is like an older sister, so transparent."

"What's the matter, it's just that I'm not good at words on weekdays, so I think about it more."

"Then when the fourth sister gets married, I will definitely back up the gift."

"Okay, if my sister marries an ordinary merchant in the future, she can wait for her sister's gift to be wiped out."

The two talked and laughed, and the grievances of the past were long gone. Near noon, Ruzhu stayed for lunch again. It's hard to go back to such a time.

The time in the inner courtyard of the deep house always flies, and it has been a month since the day of the Yuan Lantern Festival. Recently, civil unrest has broken out frequently in the south, and the war situation has been tense. In addition to going to the court every day, the emperor also left the civil and military ministers to discuss with him.

Even the vacation has been temporarily canceled.

In the west courtyard, the eldest aunt Zhu was busy with the marriage of the second lady and had no time for anything else.

The second wife, Qi, has been taking care of trivial matters recently. In addition to Brother Deng's proposal, he also had to choose a dowry for his concubine. It's busy. For the sesame things of the needle and thread brain, they are all assigned by Yang Liu.

On this day, the weather is getting warmer, the snow and ice are already showing signs of melting, and the smell of earth is heard in the air from time to time.

"Second Lady, Second Lady"

Yang Liu walked into Qi's courtyard in a panic.

"What are you shouting, do you think I'm not messy enough?"

"Second lady, the slave has received an invitation from the palace."

"Didn't the old man confiscate it in the past, as for messing up? Is the palace looking for the master to listen to the errand? ”

"Madam, it's not for our master, it's for the fourth lady?"

"To whom? Didn't I hear it wrong? ”

"It's an invitation to the banquet, for the fourth lady."

"On a feast? Really? ”

"Seriously, lo and behold."

To say that this banquet was set up in the first year of the emperor's accession to the throne. Only the royal family and important ministers who have made meritorious contributions are invited. Even a celebrity like the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is not qualified.

Not only that, but they will also be given Chinese clothes according to their rank, and they will feast in the palace outside the palace for three days every year. Among them, there are many hunting, singing and dancing, games, drinking and feasting, etc., and the scene is grand.

"It's really the name of the four girls, have you received it in the West Courtyard?"

"Yes, I heard that the eldest prince received one."

"Didn't Uncle get it?"

"No, our Hou Mansion will get two."

"How could the palace find four girls to go here for a banquet for no reason? Could it be that the fourth aunt used the means? ”

"Oh, madam, how can the fourth aunt have such a means of reaching the sky, if she has, she will not come to be a concubine for the master."

"Yes. So why is this, I am more and more confused. ”

"Madame, or ask the old lady. Look at whether this invitation post should be given to Miss Four. ”

"Yes, come with me to the room."

At this time, if the second master Liu Chang was there, he would definitely say that the Qi family was stupid. If the invitation post sent by the palace is not given to the four girls, the insider will ask at that time, but no one can afford it.

"You are in a hurry to come here, and you don't report it, what kind of urgency is it that goes to the house."

"Mother, don't blame, the daughter-in-law is really unsure of her idea, and she panicked, so she lost her manners and disturbed her mother's nap."

"Well, it's time for me to get up. What is going on? ”

"Mother, today there are two invitation stickers sent from the palace, which are for the banquet. One was sent to Brother Yuan in the West Courtyard, and the other one was for the four girls. ”

"Four girls? Or is it an invitation to a banquet? ”

Exactly, the daughter-in-law was shocked when she heard it at first, she really couldn't find the rules, so she had no choice but to come to find her mother. Look at this ......"

Granny Yan took the post handed over by the second lady and showed it to the old lady.

"It's really an invitation to the banquet. It's the first year that our Hou Mansion has taken this post, but how can it be just four girls? ”

"Mother, look, but the fourth aunt is ......"

"Don't speculate, if she is so powerful, your position as a wife would have been given up a long time ago."

Qi was ridiculed by the old lady, and he didn't dare to speak, but bit his lower lip silently.

"Then this invitation sticker, do you want to give it to the four girls?"

"You dare to detain the things in the palace, are you disgusted that the days of the Hou Mansion are too peaceful?"

"It's the daughter-in-law who is not thoughtful, so these four girls are young after all, and they don't know the details, how should we deal with it."

"What to deal with, she is a member of our Hou Mansion after all, how do you, a mother, get along with her on weekdays. This invitation has been sent, you haven't found an eyebrow yet, if you have half of your mind about Ruyan, how can you be so angry. ”

"The daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong."

"That's it, I'll arrange this matter, and send the post to the courtyard of the four girls as soon as possible."

Qi got a training from the old lady and slipped back to the yard.

When Yang Liu delivered the invitation sticker, it was already late.

"Miss, what's wrong with this post?"

Ping'er saw that Rumeng held it and observed it for a long time, and did not speak, so he asked.

"This is an invitation to the feast."

"But the emperor took the children of the heavenly family to hunt for that banquet? The slave and maid heard that they would also reward them with gold brocade clothes. ”

"Exactly, not everyone has the golden brocade clothes, only the royal family is qualified."

"Heavenly home is really extravagant. It would be nice if the young lady could go and meet her. ”

As he was talking, Xinyu pulled the curtain in like a gust of wind and came in, almost not tripping.

"Ping'er, the weather is getting warmer, this curtain has been removed, I always feel depressed recently."

"It's Miss, the slave will be dismantled tomorrow."

"Miss, I've inquired."

The new jade came to Rumeng in front of him and bowed.

Ping'er saw that although she was clumsy, she still remembered that the reprimands she had been reprimanding for several days must have worked.

"Tell me about this post."

"Miss, this post was sent from the palace today, let's get one, and the eldest prince of the West Courtyard also got one. The second lady accepted the post, and immediately went to the upper room, and when she came back, she sent it to us. ”

"It seems that my grandmother already knew about it, and she must have instructed her to send it. Come with me to the room tomorrow. ”

"Miss, this old lady knows everything, what else are we going to do?"

"This post came so strangely that I couldn't even guess why, and my grandmother must have been confused. Tomorrow I will not only show it, but also see how it is arranged by my grandmother. ”

"Yes, then let Xinyu go with you tomorrow, and she can go to find out her people's tone."

Ping'er waited for Mu Xi like a dream, and ordered Xinyu to do tomorrow's errand, so she went back to her room to sleep with confidence.

But she didn't know that Rumeng had closed her eyes on the couch for a long time, but she had never slept. An invitation post disrupted the peaceful life, who invited her, and why?

Puzzled and puzzled, he fell asleep when he was near.

"Okay, let's just comb this bun."

"Miss, bring hair accessories, it looks unenergetic."

"It's about looking burned, so good. Call Shinyu over. ”

When the master and servant came to the upper room, the old lady had just had breakfast.

"Meng'er has breakfast?"

"Back to my grandmother, I've eaten my dreams."

"I was frightened last night, and my complexion is not very good."

Rumeng knew that the old lady didn't like them the most because they were not energetic. Her state at this time is more indicative, and she doesn't know the details of the invitation, so she is still troubled.

"Grandmother, Meng'er is here to find your doubts. Yesterday, her granddaughter received an invitation from Zhang's palace, saying that she was going to a banquet. The granddaughter didn't know about the banquet and didn't want to go, but now she was afraid that her willfulness would ruin the reputation of the Hou Mansion, so she came to ask her grandmother to make the decision. ”

"This banquet is a grand event in the palace, and since it has been posted, it is bound to go. Even your uncle didn't dare to resist the decree. Now that you've found it, it's not like there's no way. I think so, the last banquet is three days, let Yan Pozi go with you. She has the most abundant qualifications and experience, and you can rest assured that she is there. ”

It seems that the old lady has already thought of a countermeasure and asked Granny Yan to take a look at what's going on.

"That dream thanked my grandmother, and with Granny Yan here, I have no fear."

"Well, remember that you represent the Marquis of Pingyang, if you have asked Yan Pozi in advance before acting, don't be reckless."

"Yes, Meng'er remember."

The old lady explained a few more words to Granny Yan, and also rewarded Rumeng with a string of coral waist hanging. Let Rumeng go back to rest. looked at her swollen eye circles, and told her to recuperate well on the day of the banquet, not to look like this.

If you guess in a dream, you will know who invited you at the banquet.
