Chapter Twenty-Five: The Birthday Banquet
In the old lady's birthday banquet in previous years, the ladies of each courtyard sent nothing more than those few things, the fourth aunt is good at embroidery, and it is an embroidery picture every year, although it is not good, but it is not faulty.
The third aunt is crazy all day, of course she can't attend this kind of occasion, so she just has to go there.
Zeng Yurong was born in a businessman, the family is rich, she has never lacked money, and Zeng Yurong is the only daughter in the family, as long as she opens her mouth, her family will naturally find a way to meet her daughter's requirements.
Zhang Fenglan herself, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, used to send some calligraphy and paintings.
She and Chongyan Guang are only two years old, they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they have the arrangement of their own adults, and they are in the main room when they enter the house, although the first third aunt and Chongyan Guang secretly have a son outside, but she is just a martial arts heroine, no wealth and no power, so naturally she can't enter the house first.
Later, Chongyanguang married Zeng Yurong in the second room, and only then did he take the mother and son back, but unfortunately her daughter was abducted and her eldest son passed away, Su Moer went crazy, and kept saying that it was her son who died in Chongyiyunke, which was really funny.
Zhang Fenglan held a small silver lock in her hand, which was the only thing left behind by her deceased Rui'er.
For so many years, although his son has ranked second, he is like the eldest son of the Prime Minister's house, and later added Ling'er's girl, but he has never been able to fill her pain of losing Rui'er.
It was her first child, just 5 months old, she could sit still, better than children of the same month, and she still remembered that day she took Rui'er outside to bask in the sun, and the chubby Rui'er lay lazily in Zhang Fenglan's nurse's arms.
Zhang Fenglan looked at her daughter lovingly, Chongyan Guangzhongnu, his first daughter was naturally a treasure in the family.
But no one expected that a black cat came out of the courtyard, the nurse was startled, tripped over a stone, and Rui'er in her hand was thrown out, Zhang Fenglan hurriedly reached out to pick it up, or a step too late, Rui'er fell into the pond, was already dying when she was rescued, and then became weaker and weaker, and lasted for a month, and finally left.
Since then, the prime minister has ordered that no animals are allowed to be raised in the house.
Zhang Fenglan never believed that it was an accident, why was it so coincidentally a cat, she was the same as the nurse, she was afraid of all kinds of animals since she was a child, especially cats, no matter who was holding Rui'er that day, she would definitely be frightened, Zhang Fenglan was convinced that someone definitely let the cat out, and her Rui'er definitely did not die by accident.
Zhang Fenglan put the small silver lock into the carved box, and opened a picture scroll, this is sent by Jiajun, it was like this in previous years, but not this year, it is obvious that Zeng Yurong is fighting with her recently, and this birthday banquet must not be compared.
The next day, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed many guests, including the ladies and ladies of the family in the city, and even the prince Mu who was being favored in the palace, so you can imagine what status Chongyan Guang has in the palace.
Chongyan Guang and others greeted the guests in front of the gate, and after a while, two rows of tables and chairs were placed in the courtyard of Nuoda, the maids were waiting for wine, and the ladies were chatting with the eldest lady in the backyard at the moment.
Chong Ruoling's body has recovered, and she is chattering and pulling a few young ladies to walk around the garden together, but her heart is floating far away.
"Do you know, this time my grandmother's birthday Lord Mu is here."
"Not only that, but also the crown prince, King Xian, I heard that Princess He'an is also coming this time, but why didn't I see her."
"How can Princess He'an be the same as us, she should be in the front yard at this moment."
Chong Ruoling listened to their words, her mood was even more excited, since she was a child, she had heard about the bravery of Mu Wangye, although she had only seen it once, but her whole mind was on Mu Wang, although she was still many years away from the year of Jilu, but her heart was budding.
I heard that King Mu has never married the princess, and there is not even a concubine in the entire mansion, she can't wait for Lord Mu to never marry, and when she grows up in a few years, she must marry him.
"Sister Ling'er, what do you think?" Looking at Chong Ruoling with a pensive face, Zhang Yunqing pulled her sleeve and asked.
Zhang Yunqing is Zhang Fenglan's niece and Chong Ruoling's cousin, she is good with Chong Ruoling, and she also knows this cousin's careful thoughts, Ling'er, a girl who can't hide secrets, will chat with her if she has a little thought.
"Cousin, I didn't think about anything, I just ......" Chong Ruoling didn't finish speaking, but her cheeks were slightly red.
"By the way, I heard that your third sister has been recovered?"
"Don't mention her, although I haven't met her yet, but when she comes back, her mother is sullen, and she is definitely a nuisance." Chong Ruoling frowned and said, if it weren't for Chong Yiyun, why would she pretend to be sick in bed, so that she couldn't go out, and she was about to suffocate in the room.
At this time, in a corner of the courtyard, Chong Yiyun was sitting on the edge of the flower bed, and Cui'e stood beside her, who didn't know what to do and looked worried.
"Miss, we're not okay here."
"What's the hurry, I'll finish reading a few pages, I'll talk about it after reading it, don't bother me." Chong Yiyun is about to see the finale.,I really want to know if the heroine will return to modern times in the end.,The second male number is dead.,This book is really annoying.,What does this author think.,The male protagonist is so scum.,So big pig's trotters.,Why don't you write him to death.,It's okay now.,It's cool to abuse his wife for a while.,Chase your wife to the crematorium.,It's going to end soon.,It depends on whether the heroine chooses to return to modern times or stay to forgive the male protagonist.。
Finally finished reading.,Chong Yiyun and the book.,Sigh.,Sure enough,The heroine still didn't go back.,And gave birth to a son to the male owner.,How she hopes the heroine won't stay.,Obviously there's a chance to go back.,If you change to yourself.,I definitely wouldn't choose that.。
Chong Yiyun stood up, wiped the dust off her buttocks, tidied up her clothes, put the book in her arms, and walked to the courtyard with Cui'e.
And at this moment, the people in the courtyard have already gone to the front yard.
"Miss, they all seem to be gone." Cui'e said anxiously.
"It's okay, you go back first, bring the gift for your grandmother, and look for me in the front yard!" Chong Yiyun instructed.
"It's Miss, the slave will go." Cui'e was still a little worried about whether Miss was alone, but Miss ordered, she could only go back quickly, but fortunately, it was not far away.
Chong Yiyun prepared a birthday cake for the old lady, she couldn't think of anything else to give, since it was a birthday, she had to have a cake, although she didn't know how to make it, but the space was a ready-made cake, and when someone asked, she said that she had done it well.
After a while, Chong Yiyun came to the front yard, and at this time, the courtyard was full, but she didn't know where to sit.
The old lady was very happy to see her third granddaughter coming, so she secretly stretched out her hand and beckoned her to sit beside her, and Chong Yiyun had no choice but to walk over.
Isn't it too eye-catching to just sit next to my grandmother, will it attract hatred for nothing?
But at this moment she had already walked to the old lady's side, and it was too late to refuse, so she had to sit beside her grandmother.
And Jing Mujun, who was sitting below, was chatting with Chongyan Guang about some things in the palace, but suddenly saw the person he was thinking about day and night, and actually appeared in front of him, he came back and went back to look for her, but Erniang told him that Miss Xiaoyun was missing, and he asked people to look around, but he didn't expect to see her here.
Why is Miss Xiaoyun in Xiangfu? What is she?
Jing Mujun looked at Chong Yiyun sitting above at the moment, he wanted to ask her clearly, but he couldn't rush there.
