Chapter 15: Rebirth of a Maiden (14)
She said: "Eighth sister, you were born too plain, and your appearance is not attractive, why do you still wear such an elegant skirt on your grandmother's birthday today?" It's getting more and more out of the picture.
When you look back at your grandmother and mother, you are asked to change into a more colorful dress, and where is your face when you see it? ”
Ye Xinlu buried his head and didn't say a word.
Yingxiang on the side was so angry that her cheeks bulged, but seeing that her young lady didn't say anything to refute, she couldn't jump out and stab her with a ring, so she didn't speak.
Feng Sicun smiled and said: "I heard that my mother has been asking a matchmaker to give you a kiss recently, and there are several suitable people who are unwilling, if you continue to cower like this, so that others can't see that you have the slightest desirable place, I'm afraid you won't be able to get married." ”
Seeing that Ye Xinlu was still silent, she said again: "Why don't you go back and change into more colorful clothes, my sister is waiting for you here." ”
This Feng Sicun is really a blow to his weak eighth sister. Ye Xinlu thought coldly in his heart, still only burying his head in silence.
Feng Sicun had already stopped, looking as if he was waiting for her to go back and change her clothes.
Ye Xinlu deliberately walked out a few steps before he suddenly noticed that the people around him had stopped, and he also stopped, and turned his head to look at Feng Sicun in surprise: "Seventh sister, why don't you leave?" If you don't hurry up, you're going to delay the time to say goodbye to your grandmother. ”
Feng Sicun was a little annoyed, did this girl completely ignore her words?
Ye Xinlu saw the anger on her face, and said with a little pleading: "Seventh sister, our sisters only have a few clothes, I can still wear this one, please, don't be disgusted with this, okay?" ”
Feng Sicun's eyes widened. What does she mean by that? Do you blame me for thinking she wore the same dress as me?
She said: "I don't think you wear this dress, but this skirt is not suitable for you, look at you, after wearing it, you look like a fourteen or fifteen little girl, and the grandmother and mother are more and more disliked by ...... grandmother and mother."
"Why don't they like me anymore? Obviously I have always loved me. Ye Xinlu interrupted her, looking serious, "Seventh sister, don't always talk bad about your grandmother and mother behind your back, it's really not good." ”
Feng Sicun was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
[Wind pillow cold]: "6666...... The anchor's White Lotus routine is very slippery. ”
Ye Xinlu said again: "Seventh sister, if you don't leave again, you will really delay the time to say goodbye to your grandmother." ”
Feng Sicun was so angry that the root of his teeth hurt, but he could only continue to walk with her towards the old lady's yard.
The two sisters, like twins, appeared in the hall of the old lady's house in the same plain dress, which made it a little difficult to distinguish which one was which at first glance.
However, those who are familiar with the temperament of the two of them will soon see that the girl who is afraid to speak is Feng Siqing, and the other girl who is full of energy and smiles is Feng Sicun.
Seeing that everyone's eyes swept over himself and Ye Xinlu, and finally fell on himself a little brighter, the corners of Feng Sicun's mouth rose, and a smug smile flashed.
But she soon returned to her usual gentle and dexterous appearance, and a series of actions such as salutes and birthday celebrations were completed in one go, giving people the feeling that they were so comfortable and smooth, generous and decent, which made the old lady laugh and rewarded her with a big red envelope.
As for Ye Xinlu, she deliberately looked clumsy and slowed down in everything, because Feng Sicun next to her stole the limelight, she also said two words of congratulations, just like Feng Siqing in the past, who was cowardly and incompetent.
But the old lady is not good at favoring one over the other, today is her happy day again, so naturally she also rewarded Ye Xinlu with a red envelope with a smile.
At that time, the guests came to the door, and the old lady's birthday banquet kicked off. The male guests are in the front yard and are entertained by the prime minister; The female guests were in the backyard and were entertained by the old lady and the lady.
The prime minister can now be said to be one of the emperor's favorite courtiers, it can be said that he is the son of the imperial court, and his mother is a first-class order, and there are many ministers in the court, and even several princes in the capital have come to congratulate him.
In the middle of the banquet, even the prince personally came to the door with a congratulatory gift, which made Xiang Ye very flattered.
Although this prince has been sent various errands by the emperor since the age of sixteen, he can now be said to have mastered most of the affairs of the court.
But he never had dealings with any minister other than political affairs. It may be precisely because of this that the emperor's favor for him has not weakened in the slightest because he has mastered most of the political affairs of the imperial court, but has become more and more fond of him.
Today, the prince personally came to congratulate him, and it can be said that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs are the first one. Moreover, no one got the news beforehand, saying that the prince would come today. Feng Xiangye was surprised, but he quickly got up and went to the outside of the house to greet him.
The prince was greeted to the living room disrespectfully, and the two sides were polite, Li Chengfeng was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "The prime minister is the humerus of the imperial court, and this time the king came to congratulate the old lady on her 60th birthday on the order of his father, and specially prepared a generous gift for the old lady." Since the king is here, he naturally wants to congratulate the old lady on her birthday in person, and he doesn't know whether it is convenient or inconvenient. ”
Everyone suddenly realized that the prince was ordered by the emperor, and the shock that the prince was so loved by the prince just now dissipated. The prime minister was worried about the prince's arrival today, but at this time, he heard that the prince said that he was ordered by the emperor and finally let go of his hanging heart.
He immediately accompanied all kinds of flattering smiles, and said: "The prince wants to celebrate his mother's birthday, it is really an honor for his mother, how can it be inconvenient, His Royal Highness will come with his ministers." ”
Xiangye hurriedly ordered someone to report to the backyard first, and he took the prince to the backyard step by step. The other ministers, princes and others who came to congratulate their birthdays came to the backyard with them, and they were temporarily entertained by the prime minister and his son-in-law, waiting in the front yard.
The female guests in the backyard chatted in groups, and suddenly saw a grandmother hurriedly entering the hall, whispering a few words to the old lady sitting in the first place, the old lady first showed joy on her face, but soon straightened her face, and said to the female guests very seriously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, everyone hurry up and prepare to welcome it." ”
All the ladies were shocked when they heard this, and many noble ladies who had not left the cabinet or had not been engaged to marry all showed excited or ecstatic looks, and got up with the old lady and hurried to the outside of the hall to greet them.
In the blink of an eye, there was a hula and kneeling outside the hall in the backyard.
Yingxiang knelt behind her own young lady, ecstatic, and whispered in Ye Xinlu's ear: "Miss, it's the prince, the prince is really here." "I'm here to propose to her young lady!
