After a few cultural meetings and flower parties, Li Ran felt a little relieved about such an occasion.

On the day of the 66th birthday of Mrs. Sun of Zhongyongbo's Mansion, as soon as the car entered the alley leading to Zhongyongbo's Mansion, Li Ran felt the excitement and wealth that could knock people down head-on.

got out of the car in the second gate, and the second grandmother Cao Shi greeted her, "The fourth sister has arrived, let them take you in, your third sister is helping to entertain the guests inside, and the sister of the Wang family has also arrived early, go quickly, don't be restrained." ”

Li Ran smiled and followed her mother-in-law inside.

The population of Uncle Sun's family is simpler than that of the Li family.

Mrs. Sun fled to the capital with a big belly and gave birth to Sun Qiang, a loyal and brave uncle.

Sun Qiang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Tao, also fled and did not have a maiden family.

Three daughters and two sons, the eldest daughter Sun Xiuniang followed her husband Li Qingan in office.

The second daughter, Sun Qiaoniang, married into the Cao family, and at this time she was helping out in the Zhongyong Mansion with her husband Cao Zhi and Cao Erye.

The two sons are not married, plus the third daughter Sun Miaoniang, and the husband and wife of Zhongyong Uncle Sun Qiang, Manfu, just these few people, if Zhang Luosun wants to celebrate the sixty-sixth birthday of Mrs. Zhang Luosun, they must be too busy.

Therefore, early in the morning, the Chang'an Hou family, from Mrs. Chen, Chang'an Hou Li Mingshui, to Li Qingrou, all came over to help entertain the guests.

Only Li Ran, according to the time of the guests, like the guests, arrived at the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion.

Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion is large enough, but at this moment, from outside the gate to the end of the house, it is crowded and lively.

Three stages were set up in the back garden, and another stage was set up for jugglers.

On both sides of the back lake, poles were erected and a thick rope was pulled from the lake.

Li Ran followed her mother-in-law, and she was dazzled along the way.

This is a birthday banquet, this is simply the tile of the New Year, or the tile of the whole capital is merged together.

When Li Ran entered the flower hall where the little ladies gathered, she stood at the door of the flower hall, looking at the lake in front of her, and on the long rope, two young women pretended to fight; On the left stage, a woman in red is spinning into a flower; On the right, a woman lies on her back on a stool, kicking a blue and white urn with her two feet.

In all directions, I don't know which one to watch.

"The girl is here."

Wang Ji followed Xie Pei behind him, greeted Li Ran, followed Li Ran's gaze and looked around, wanted to laugh and hurriedly stopped, "Let's just sit here, anyway, everywhere is the same lively." ”

Wang Yi just found a place to sit down, as she said, there is no place in the entire Zhongyong Bofu that is not lively, so it is the same wherever you sit.

Li Ran sat down, picked up a cup of tea as if she was sipping, made up her mind, suppressed her fear of being so lively, and looked around carefully.

Li Qingrou and Gao Guiying, as well as several other little ladies who got along, a group of people, were surrounding the Hu Xuan dancers who were spinning into a flower, and they were applauding when they watched.

Huo Wenlin stood on the periphery, looking like that, she was already dazzled.

Wang Ji also sipped his tea, looked around, couldn't help it, and laughed, "It's really, lively." ”

"It's very lively, their house is usually quite lively, right?"

Li Ran wanted to sigh, she wanted to speak, and her voice had to be much higher than usual.

It's not high, it's too noisy, and she can't hear it herself when the voice is low.

"Usually, it's okay......"

"You're here, I've been looking for a long time, it's too hard to find."

Wang Ji's words were interrupted by Cao Qian, the fourth lady of the Cao family.

The fourth lady, Cao Qian, sweated lightly on her forehead, and shook her fan quickly, as if she had just squeezed from the crowded street, she turned around, sat down on the round stool beside Wang Qi, and turned around to greet her third sister, "Third sister, you can rest for a while." ”

"What are you doing here?" Wang Ji looked at the steaming two and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I didn't do anything, I just walked in a little circle. The third sister said, I want to find a quiet place, who knows, it is still the quietest here, this house is really lively today! ”

The fourth lady, Cao Qian, said that it was really lively, and she sighed with a bitter face, it was too lively, she had always loved to be lively, and she couldn't stand it a little.

"How can it be like this?" Xie Pei propped one hand on a few and covered one ear quietly, it was so noisy that her head was about to hurt.

"I heard the second brother say that it was Uncle Sun's meaning, saying that the old lady's sixty-sixth birthday must be lively.

Originally, there weren't so many, but there were many of them, they were all invited by Uncle Sun yesterday.

Yes, the capital is full of people, but anyone who has a little reputation is invited.

Why, there is the Caixi class over there, and it is said that it is twice as much silver, and it is forcibly invited. ”

The second sister-in-law of the third lady Cao Yao is Sun Qiaoniang, her second brother and sister-in-law have come over to help for two or three days, and the news is accurate.

"It's really filial piety." Wang Ji also wanted to cover his ears.

"Sixth lady, fourth sister, you are all here, I will sit for a while. Aroufei dragged me to watch the puppet, I was tired from standing, and my throat hurt. ”

Huo Wenlin rushed over to Wang Qi, and as soon as he sat down, he poured tea and drank tea.

"You shouted too? Listen to your voice is okay, not dumb, Miao Niang's voice is hoarse. Cao Qian looked at Huo Wenlin and smiled.

"I didn't shout, I listened to them shout, and my throat hurt when I listened." Huo Wenlin said that her throat hurt, but she grabbed her earlobe.

I don't know where there was a long series of fast-paced drums and gongs, and in front of the side, suddenly flames rose up, bringing a burst of exclamation.

Li Ran only felt that one head was four or five big, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, approached Wang Ji, and said in a low voice: "You say, it's so lively, if I sneak out quietly and leave, will no one find out?" ”

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and nodded while laughing, "Don't talk about you, no one knows about the two of us together, and Ah Pei, let's ......"

"What are you going to do?" The fourth lady, Cao Qian, was next to Wang Qi, heard half of the sentence, and hurriedly asked.

"We're discussing, or ......," Wang Ji smiled and nodded out.

"That's what I thought, it's so lively, one or two less, no one pays attention at all.

Are we together, or in batches?

Why don't you call my third brother and let him accompany us, just go outside for a stroll, the bustle of the city is here, and it must be quiet outside. Cao Qian clapped her hands in agreement.

"And me, call my third brother too. My head hurts. Huo Wenlin hurried up, she also wanted to leave, she wanted to leave just now.

Li Ran's two eyebrows were raised high, and she looked at a few little girls one by one.

She originally wanted to sneak away by herself, why did she become a group of people and sneak away after a few words?

"We can't walk together, it's too conspicuous together.

I'll ask someone to go to my third brother first, and let him wait for us outside. If you ask someone to call you the third brother, you will be waiting outside.

And then...... Let's two of us, I'm with Ah Pei, you two together, you two, how about it? ”

Cao Qian arranged it happily.

"Then let's discuss first, where are we going to play?" Huo Wenlin was excited and happy.

"Your third brother and her third brother are not together, and they must not be far away, one trip after another, it's not good, just send a trip, let your third brother talk to her third brother, just go one after the other."

Also, we're here to pay homage to our birthdays, and if we let people see it, and then spread it to this house, it won't be good. ”

Wang Ji answered with a smile, and when he saw Cao Qian, he pouted regretfully, and continued:

"Why don't we find a place to have a quiet meal, and then go back after eating?"

"Good! So what are we going to eat? Cao Qian immediately smiled.

"Do you eat pig's head?" Li Ran looked at everyone from Wang Ji.

"I like to eat." Xie Pei said, sticking out the tip of his tongue embarrassedly.

"I like it too." Wang Ji smiled and raised his hand.

"How delicious is the pig's head meat, the third sister likes to eat it the most, and I like it too." Cao Qian took the hand of the third sister Cao Yao and raised it together.

"I ...... I like it too. Huo Wenlin hesitated a little, but still raised his hand.

"I know a place where the pig's head meat is cooked very well, and that place, it's not likely to meet familiar people." Li Ran said with a smile.

"That's it! I'll let people call me the third brother! ”

Cao Qian clapped her hands in agreement, beckoned her confidant, muttered a few words in her ear, and told her to go to her third brother Cao Ming to pass the word.

Cao Ming was indeed with Huo Wencan and Li Qingning.

On their side, the liveliness is only higher than that of the women.

Huo Wencan was restless because of his letter and his mother's letter, and he was annoyed by everything, and this excitement at this moment made him have a headache one after another.

"How can it be so lively? It's really lively, it's really lively! Huo Wencan shook the folding fan vigorously and gritted his teeth again to praise.

"This is Uncle Sun's filial piety." The folding fan in Li Qingning's hand also shook and whirred.

"Originally, there weren't so many, except for one more big show, everything else was very ordinary.

They were all invited here temporarily yesterday, these little dramas or something, it was arranged by the second brother, and the second brother was sad yesterday, his hair was almost gray, you didn't see it. Cao Ming lowered her voice.

"So many temporarily? What's going on? What's wrong? What are the reasons? Huo Wencan was surprised, looked at Li Qingning and asked.

"It seems that something is wrong, two days ago, Mrs. Sun came to our house and cried with my wife." Li Qingning suppressed his voice and said.

"Oh~~tsk!" Huo Wencan dragged his voice and pouted, "Uncle Sun is crying the old lady, and I quickly want to make up for it, but this is too much, what is this is a supplement, this is simply ...... Tut. ”

Cao Ming went out and came back, nodded Huo Wencan and Li Qingning with a folding fan, and said with a low smile: "My sister sent someone to say that she couldn't stand the noise, so she had to go back quietly first and let me take them to dinner."

Your sister, as well as your fourth sister, said that they were going to go together, and asked if you would leave? ”

"Let's go!" Huo Wencan's eyes lit up when he heard the three words of the fourth sister, and without waiting for Li Qingning to speak, he dragged him out.

Cao Ming hurriedly followed.

Li Ran and their side, Li Ran and Wang Ji were the last ones. Go out to the second gate of the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion.

Outside the gate, Huo Wencan and Li Qingning were waiting next to a car, and when they saw the two coming out, Huo Wencan stepped forward, raised the curtains, watched the two get into the car, looked at Li Ran and asked, "Where are you going?" They said they wanted to ask you. ”

"Let's go to Beiwazi first, let's go ahead, and I'll show the way." Li Ran and Huo Wencan laughed.
