Chapter 639: Approaching
Chen Youyi knew this in her heart, and she knew a little about the Xu family as early as when she was in Xinghua Village.
"I already know Lord Xu, and there is no special reason for inviting me there, don't think too much about it." Chen Youyi simply laughed and handed the invitation to the white butler, "You go down and prepare a gift." ”
After the white housekeeper went down, Chen Youyi thought about it for a while, it seems that the Xu family's position in the court is also deep-rooted, and now there are very few people who support His Royal Highness the Prince's accession to the throne except for the Xu family, if it weren't for the powerful Xu Jia supporting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, I'm afraid that the three princes would have suppressed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a long time ago.
With such intrigue between the DPRK and China, Chen Guo's strength will become more and more empty, and it will also allow those who have wolf ambitions to find opportunities to capture the results.
If Yuefu can be suppressed and the government can be unified, Chen Guo will soon become stronger, and the emperor must be able to think of this, but the strength of Yuefu is too great, and if you want to completely suppress it, you have to think a little hard.
This is all something to think about in the future, and what we need to do now is to prepare gifts to participate in Mr. Xu's 60th birthday.
On the day of her 60th birthday, Chen Youyi arrived as scheduled, with Xue'er Mo Xincheng and Bai Butler by her side, and the others were the coachman and two attendants, the three of them, who were only responsible for taking care of some things outside, and would not follow Chen Youyi and them in.
Xu Linfeng stood at the door to greet the guests, and when he saw Chen Youyi coming, he hurriedly took the initiative to come forward to greet him, even more enthusiastic than he treated other guests, "I came here so early, I thought you would have to wait a little longer." ”
"I have received your invitation a long time ago, so naturally I want to come over early to congratulate your father on his 60th birthday." Chen Youyi said with a smile.
The white housekeeper handed over the gift list on the side, and Xu Linfeng personally led him towards the mansion, but just after walking a few steps, another minister from the court came over, and Xu Linfeng had to turn around and come back to greet the minister.
Chen Youyi knew that at this moment, he had a lot of things to do, and he didn't care, so he led Xue'er, Mo Xincheng and the housekeeper towards the inside.
"Let's find a place to rest for a while, it's still early, the birthday feast hasn't started, we'll go over when it starts." Chen Youyi didn't want to get together, after all, most of the officials here were officials from the court, and she was just an ordinary person, a businessman doing business.
Another reason is that she used to be the eldest princess of Chen Guo, and there must be many people who know her here, and she can avoid it, and she doesn't need to greet them or look at their faces.
The other three agreed, so they found a remote place, and sat down in a small pavilion, where there were not many people, and most of them were busy maids and attendants, and occasionally one or two people passed by, and they did not know each other, so there was no need to greet them.
But the etiquette still has to be talked about, and the white housekeeper knows more than Chen Youyi, so all those things are handed over to him to deal with, and the white housekeeper runs back and forth a few times, and then does everything that needs to be done.
"In one more hour, the birthday banquet will begin, let's go over in a while, and Madame can rest here for a while!" After the white housekeeper came back, Chen Youyi nodded with satisfaction, "The housekeeper will also rest here for a while, and when he is at the birthday banquet later, he can talk less and try to find a quiet place to sit down a little farther away from the main seat." ”
Butler Bai was quite puzzled, at this time, most of the people were trying to find ways to tie up the Xu family, but Chen Youyi was trying to find a way to go far, "Madam, why is this?" Such a good opportunity, we should have a good relationship with the Xu family, if there is anything in the future, it is convenient to find Xu Jia for help. ”
Before Chen Youyi could speak, he saw Xu Linfeng walking towards this side, and there was another person beside him, Li Tianyou.
Chen Youyi hurriedly stood up and walked over to the two of them, Li Tianyou was even more excited, and saw Chen Youyi hugging his chest and saluting, "Mrs. Qin is meeting again!" ”
"It's been a long time since I saw you, Lord Li, since you got married, it's rare to see you go out, and there have been a few times when I went to visit your mother, but I heard him say that you only spend all day at home with your good wife, but you don't care about your friends."
"Where's the word, where's the word!" Li Tianyou was a little ashamed of what he said, and at this time Xu Linfeng laughed on the side, "Madam, don't you know, his wife is pregnant, and he will be a father in a few days, where can he pay attention to us." ”
"Really?" Chen Youyi was shocked and very happy, "Then when the time comes, you must invite me to eat full moon wine, I will give this child a big gift." ”
The three of them talked and laughed, if it weren't for the fact that the people next to them knew their identities and thought they had a special relationship, these three people stood together far better than standing with other people, and the atmosphere was much better.
"By the way, Lord Xu helped me last time, I haven't thanked you properly!" Chen Youyi wanted to take this opportunity to thank Lord Xu, after all, in the last game, thanks to Lord Xu for helping him find chili peppers, otherwise, that game would definitely be eliminated.
However, these words made Xu Linfeng suddenly stunned, "What did I help you with?" Look at me, I've forgotten about it. ”
"The last time I participated in the cooking competition, I forgot to take an ingredient, and you helped me find a way to get it, did you forget?"
With such a reminder, Xu Linfeng seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Oh, you're talking about this matter, but I didn't find the pepper you wanted at the time, and I didn't send it to you, I sent someone to look for you at that time, but I couldn't find it anywhere, and then I heard that you successfully participated in the competition, I thought you had solved this matter by yourself, so I didn't mention it again." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Youyi's face was even more surprised, "That's not the chili pepper you helped me get, where did my chili come from?" She couldn't help but look at Mo Xincheng behind her.
At that time, Chen Youyi did hear people say that the chili pepper was brought, and it was Mo Xincheng who brought it, and thought that it was Xu Linfeng who gave it to Mo Xincheng, but it didn't seem to be so.
Mo Xincheng looked a little embarrassed, he thought that this matter would pass like this, but who knew that it would be turned out at this time.
Chen Youyi seemed to see through the expression on Mo Xincheng's face, so she perfunctory the matter, "Ah...... That's probably my mistake, you look at my memory. ”
The others didn't pay much attention to it, so they were fooled by her like this, but Chen Youyi had a doubt in her heart, where did the chili pepper come from that day?
After that, it was the birthday banquet of Lord Xu, Chen Youyi specially found a relatively remote position to sit down, there are few people here who know her, and it is quiet, saving others from recognizing herself, and causing a lot of trouble.
