Chapter 114: The Birthday Banquet
() The days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-third day of the lunar month on Tian Shuang's birthday.
Tian Shuang sent someone over early to urge her, Yang Qingyun and Yang Siyi were also attentive, they all got up early in the morning this day, changed into decent clothes, matched with appropriate makeup, and went out of the house with carefully prepared gifts.
The two Zhu Gatekeepers of the Hou Mansion will be opened, and there are already two or three carriages waiting outside. Seeing the group walking out of the carriage, the noble girls who were originally sitting in the carriage were immediately helped out of the carriage by the maids, and greeted them one by one with a smile.
"Qingyun, I heard that you are also going to Tian Shuang's birthday banquet, and it just so happens that I am too. Because it's not far from you, I wonder if I want to be together. But it just so happened that my carriage will be stopped, and you will come out. ”
"Otherwise, it's better to come early than to come by chance, I want to go to Tianfu, and when I pass by here, I take a second look, only to find that there is an acquaintance in the carriage. The left and right are Tian Shuang's friends, and when they saw each other today, they will also become friends in the future, so they simply wait here. ”
“……”
Those ladies were all smiling, but they were very good at talking.
Yang Qingyun smiled and greeted them one by one, but she didn't believe what they said at all, most of them got the gossip from somewhere, knowing that she was invited by Tian Shuang, so she took this opportunity to wait at the door to shorten the distance between them.
She had a really bad reputation before, but she was rewarded by the heavenly family a few days ago, which is a great favor for the noble lady of the boudoir. Before this, there was no noble girl in the entire capital who had such an honor as the emperor's reward, and winning the reward was equivalent to entering the emperor's eyes.
She couldn't remember how many noble ladies who had never been in contact with her in the past had come to the mansion under various pretexts since she was rewarded.
Because Tian Shuang was in a hurry, the nobles at the gate of the mansion didn't talk much, and after a few words of greeting, they went to the Tian Mansion together, but it took two quarters of an hour to arrive.
A few people handed over the signs, and they were soon introduced to the house by the maid. Halfway through the journey, he collided with Tian Shuang, who had received the news early and rushed over.
A few people stopped on the pavilion corridor to talk and laugh, Tian Shuang asked the maid to continue to guide those people inside, "Qinchun Garden has prepared all kinds of pastries, melons and fruits to eat, you go over and sit and talk first, and I will arrive later." ”
turned around and stopped Yang Qingyun, "Today's birthday, I haven't figured out what clothes and jewelry to wear, just when you came, help me refer to it." ”
Tian Shuang's spirit was bright, and he was in a good mood when he looked at it.
Yang Qingyun didn't bother to go to Qinchun Garden to sit with a bunch of noble girls, so she didn't have to have another greeting, but she was more willing to stay with Tianshuang.
The two realized that although they could not talk about it for a long time, the feelings of those who had lived together were different.
After returning to Tian Shuang's boudoir, Yang Qingyun helped pick out clothes and jewelry, and talked to Tian Shuang on the other hand, and it was time to return to Qinchun Garden for a while.
Qinchun Garden is a place specially used to hold a birthday banquet, and it has made some careful preparations. Tian Shuang was born with a straightforward temperament, and he didn't like to deal with those noble women who had twists and turns, so everyone who came today was compatible with Tian Shuang.
Yang Qingyun took a rough look, and there were only seven or eight in total, and with them, they would be able to make up a lively table.
At that time, they were all sitting in the pavilion talking and laughing, and even Yang Siyi integrated very well. Someone had sharp eyes, and when they saw the two coming, they stood up and laughed.
A group of people turned their eyes to it, sitting or standing, and their eyebrows and eyes looked very kind.
Tian Shuang was also in a good mood today, and after entering the pavilion with Yang Qingyun, she took her and introduced her generously to other noble girls, "This is the third girl Yang who has been spreading in the neighborhood recently, aren't you still discussing people?" This will also be the time, but you can have a good look. ”
The tone was smug and proud.
Some of the noblewomen who were good friends with her scolded her with a smile, and the rest greeted Yang Qingyun with kindness.
After all, the atmosphere is also harmonious.
After introducing Yang Qingyun, Tian Shuang introduced Yang Siyi again.
"I don't need you to introduce this one, we were playing chess before you came." A noble girl sighed twice, "I have always prided myself on good chess skills, but Miss Yang Si hid it deeply, and she caught me off guard as soon as she came up, and she was really a rare strange person." ”
Yang Siyi received such a compliment, so he had to humbly reply to the last two sentences. The noble girl waved her hand, and instead said to Tian Shuang: "On your birthday today, I won't talk back to you, but you don't have to disturb us playing chess." After she finished speaking, she invited Yang Siyi to sit back on the chessboard, and she was going to make Tian Shuang laugh angrily.
"Okay, you Tang Lu, you dare to come to me early in the morning just to play chess."
Everyone was amused by this sentence.
After the introduction, all the nobles sat back and chatted very warmly. Yang Qingyun sat on the side and smiled faintly, listening to their topics one after another, and when there was no cold scene at all, she guessed that this group of noble girls should also know each other in private.
When she finished eating two candied fruits, today's protagonist Tian Shuang suddenly stood up.
"I also prepared a pastry made by myself for you today, and you are all waiting here, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." She smiled, and when she turned around, she ordered a noble girl, "Jingwen, you are the best eater, you can go over with me to have a look, maybe you can be the first to eat." ”
With her call, the pavilion was quiet for a moment, and Yang Qingyun saw a noble girl sitting on the side reluctantly stood up, "Where can the pastries you make taste good...... Halfway through the words, the noble girl sitting next to her immediately pulled her sleeve without a trace, and she closed her mouth and reluctantly agreed.
After the two left, the ladies in the pavilion seemed to be affected a little, and the atmosphere changed very subtly.
Someone came out to play the round, "Jingwen was listless when she came, I asked later, and said that I didn't sleep well last night." It is rare for Tian Shuang to make food by herself, and dare to let us try it on her birthday, presumably because she is confident in her craft. Tian Shuang probably saw that Jingwen was not in high spirits, this was coaxing her, maybe she would eat food in a while, and it would be the same again when she came back. ”
The other nobles echoed each other, and the atmosphere soon became warm again.
