February is Sister Mao's eleventh birthday, she did a little Yan at home, invited the sisters to her home for a small gathering, originally just a scattered birthday, it is really not worth doing, last year her tenth birthday family has given her a big one, but this year's birthday banquet is different, it is Sister Mao herself, she also learned to hold a banquet and entertainment in the Jiang family girls' school, and now it is time to practice.

It is the first show of Sister Mao's banquet, Chaoyang and their little sisters have to go to the party, Jing'er and the adults will not go, let Chaoyang bring gifts, and at the same time count Chaoyang, when you can also hold a banquet, I must call relatives and friends to come to you to cheer, and also make my face a little light.

Chaoyang said: "Why does a banquet make your face shine?" That's what you do. ”

Jing'er said: "Otherwise, how can you add glory?" How can I count on you to succeed? ”

Chaoyang was silent, when she was a child, she didn't say much about going to the battlefield as a female general, saying that she disdained to be a rich flower in the backyard of the deep house, but after she followed her father to the barracks and mixed up twice, she was deterred from joining the army.

In this way, she can neither be a female woman, nor can she be a rich flower, so she is often scolded by her mother, saying that she has nothing to do, she is thick-skinned, and her mother scolds her, her left ear goes in and out of her right ear, and she implements her ignorance to the extreme. As she grows older, her classmates have their own strengths, and this year Liu Fufeng and Zhou Yiyue didn't come to school, and they have also reached the age of talking about marriage, so the family should have a plan. There are only her and the Zhao sisters left in the school, and now even the youngest sister is beginning to make a reputation, her mother asked her if she was in a hurry, and she and the Zhao sisters were messing around year after year, she said that she was not in a hurry, just be happy.

Chaoyang took the gift to the Lijun Palace, she has always been good to Sister Mao, today is also early, when Sister Mao is supporting the people to place melon and fruit tableware, is the place where they have a banquet today, according to Sister Mao's consistent preferences, the table is pear blossom wood, the chair is a rattan chair, the cup and plate are green glazed white porcelain, all are elegant, there are flowers everywhere, it is indeed a lot of thought.

Sister Mao greeted Chaoyang when she saw Chaoyang coming, and asked her cousins to come and play with Chaoyang, she was not free at this time, Chaoyang asked her to be busy, she was also familiar with the Lijun Palace, and she couldn't go anywhere.

The cousins arranged by Sister Mao are all relatives of the Lijun Palace, and their identities are inferior to Sister Mao, not to mention Chaoyang, who is naturally holding her in every way, Chaoyang's friends have not yet come, so they have a ride and chat with them, and after a while, Brother Lian came over, to see how the field was arranged here, seeing that Chaoyang was also there, he said hello to her, Chaoyang smiled, listened to their brother and sister, Brother Yi and his brothers would also come, no wonder these girls around her had green eyes, and suddenly felt that their brothers and sisters were really big.

In Chaoyang waiting for the Zhao family sisters, there are more and more guests, Sister Mao's post said that only the brothers and sisters who have made friends are invited, Chaoyang just looked at it, the children of the same age in Beijing are basically here, the prince and princess in the palace, down to the children of the four or five officials, are all guests, Chaoyang thinks that he does not have such a good popularity, except for the birthday banquet held by her when she was ten years old, the rest of the birthdays are a family sitting together to eat a bowl of noodles.

There are so many people coming, Sister Mao has to entertain everyone, so naturally she can't take care of Chaoyang, Liu Fufeng said hello to Chaoyang after they came, and also joined the bureau of the ladies and sons, it is nothing more than some vassal and elegant activities, Chaoyang has always been impatient with these.

She looked at it coldly, Brother Lian'er and her brothers and sisters are the masters of this kind of bureau, Brother Lian has always been, he is like his father, he has been known as Gongzi Ruyu since he was a child, and he is sought after by the ladies in Beijing, but Sister Lian'er has obediently followed her a few years ago, and since when has she also joined these bureaus.

Chaoyang listened to them talk about what poetry club they were talking about, it was formed by a talented girl in Beijing, and there was a poetry competition in the Tongwen Hall every month, Chaoyang disdained this kind of activity, and it was not the essence of the Confucian Storytelling and Imperial Examination Literature, and a group of young people were just an activity to sell their fame and reputation. Those people will not invite Chaoyang here, and she will be rude without ink, even if she is the lord of Weng, don't want to add it.

Liu Fufeng and Zhou Yiyue are both talented girls in Beijing, they joined this poetry club a few years ago, and when Brother Lian was seven or eight years old, they also invited Sister Mao, Sister Mao said that she was young two years ago and never went, but now I heard them say, did you go?

Chaoyang is inexplicably unhappy, she doesn't want Sister Mao to be motivated, she has to let people follow her as a fart, but she just doesn't feel good, she has always regarded Sister Mao as her own sister, and she will share her with any good things, but since Aunt Ting changed her attitude and didn't want her to be a daughter-in-law, Brother Lian alienated her, Sister Mao still came to Jiang's house to go to school, but she rarely came to their activities when she was resting, Chaoyang likes to go hunting with the friends of the Zhao family, Sister Mao can also ride and shoot, but she is quiet by nature, Even if she followed, it was just a matter of watching the flowers, as long as she was there, Chaoyang would take care of her more, but now she feels that she can't understand Sister Mao, Sister Mao may be older, she has her own careful thoughts, and she doesn't want to play with her.

At this moment, Chaoyang felt that she was abandoned by the whole world, obviously she was very popular when she was a child, she was the king of children, everyone likes to play with her, and she is also very good to her friends, why do people change when they grow up? She misses Xiang'er, if Xiang'er is still there, she will definitely not leave her.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go over and play? ”

Chaoyang raised his eyelids and glared at Brother Ye'er, and said angrily: "Take your hands away!" ”

Brother Ye and his brother came to Lijun Wangfu today to participate in Sister Mao's birthday banquet, Sister Mao is their cousin, Brother Lian is their companion, Aunt Ting also often enters the palace to walk around, the relationship between the two families is good, Sister Mao invited the brothers and sisters in the palace to hold a birthday banquet, several princes and princesses are here, his eldest brother is now a critical time to study, and he must not be idle when he is resting, today it is rare to have an excuse to go out and let go of the wind, as soon as he enters the door, he is surrounded by the children of those families, there is a big brother with long sleeves and is good at dancing, so he doesn't have to say anything, Catching a glimpse of Chaoyang sitting here alone, he came to see her, pulled her little bun and said hello to her.

"Hey, you're going to make it too, who gave it to you?"

Chaoyang was a perennial constant when he was a child, and his aunt was such a beautiful person, and he couldn't take Chaoyang either, so she combed her fine braids, and she ran away in two moments, and often hooked here and pulled the painful teeth there, so it was better to comb the two buds tightly. After the age of ten, Chaoyang is tall, not like a child, so he doesn't comb the bud, and her aunt wants to comb her hair bun She is also troublesome, Su Rili is to tie all the hair on the top of the head with a small crown or headband, like a little boy.

This is Chaoyang's own statement, others say that she is like a tomboy, her aunt has prepared a lot of gorgeous clothes and decorations for her, she is only willing to go to the banquet when she is willing to toss one or two, but she is usually not willing to maintain, she is tanned like a black-boned chicken, no matter how gorgeous the clothes are, she can't save her, so that the aunt who loves beauty is very choked.
