Sheng Rujin is youzai, you drink melon seeds and tea. She didn't necessarily like this position, but being a thorn in everyone's eyes made Zhou Xiajin unhappy, and she felt that she was too ...... Happy.

Her purpose in this life is that she must be happy, and she will never repeat the mistakes of the past in the days when she was so aggrieved in her previous life.

So go your own way and let those people be cornered.

When Sheng Rujin was smiling and drinking tea and eating melon seeds, Zhou Xiajin was like crawling with ants all over his body.

She regretted how she invited Sheng Rujin. She originally wanted to take advantage of the birthday banquet to give Sheng Rujin a dismount and humiliate her, so as to avenge her revenge in the Sheng Mansion that day.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Rujin was not afraid at all, and he was mainly anti-customer. Zhou Xiajin vaguely felt that Sheng Rujin might make him lose face today......

Just when Zhou Xiajin was upset, Sheng Rulan quietly walked out of the flower hall and went straight to the back garden.

Sheng Rujin only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

She smiled inwardly. The girl's family is so vicious all day long, be careful that she won't be able to marry in the future.

……

Next, when it came to the time of the banquet, it was like a year for Zhou Xiajin. Because every time someone comes in to congratulate her on a happy birthday, she can't help but be attracted by Sheng Rujin.

Then after asking Ming Sheng Rujin's identity, there was a kind of "Ah! It turns out that Zuo Xiangfu has such a beautiful and temperamental eldest lady".

Zhou Xiajin's limelight was so easily taken away by Sheng Rujin.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that she is the concubine of General Zhou, and they can't see the valuable pearl hairpin on her head, the necklace of the Eight Treasures of the Western Regions worn around her neck, and a pair of filigree rich and wealthy gold bracelets on her wrists......

Not to mention the red silk silk dress on her body.

Because no one at all looked at it again.

Under the pressure of Sheng Rujin's absolute advantage, the nobles in the hall were all gloomy, and Zhou Xiajin, who was sitting next to her, was the first to be set off and compared like dirt......

finally survived until noon, the birthday banquet was about to start, and all the women went to sit in the back garden, and Zhou Xiajin breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to stand up when a maid came in a hurry and whispered a few words in her ear. Zhou Xiajin's eyes lit up.

She waved her hand, and then followed the maid to the back garden. That's where today's birthday feast really takes place.

……

Sheng Rujin looked at the similar back garden in front of her and couldn't help but sigh. It is said that the Zhongding House has a big show, and it is true.

The gate of Zhoufu does not look like the most magnificent in the capital, but the back garden is repaired with a curved corridor loop, and the pavilions and pavilions are exquisite. Compared with the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, which has only been based in the capital for decades, the Zhou family has thrown off more than a dozen streets.

No wonder Zhou Xiajin looks down on Sheng Mansion and himself so much.

Sheng Rujin slowly walked into the back garden with all the noble girls. The back garden of the Zhou Mansion is divided into the East Garden and the West Garden.

The East Garden is responsible for entertaining the male guests of distinguished status, and the West Garden is responsible for entertaining the noblewomen and ladies with status. As for the people who came with them, they ate in the back garden.

When Sheng Rujin arrived in the West Garden, he saw rows of seats placed in the open space, and the better seats were hidden among the flowers or next to the rockery, or on the pavilion.

In early spring, the garden of the Zhou Mansion is full of flowers. Sheng Rujin saw a lot of precious flowers, which should have been moved out of the greenhouse.

It seems that the Zhou Mansion spent a lot of money for Zhou Xiajin's birthday banquet.

Sheng Rujin was led by the maids to a small pavilion. There were eight seats in the pavilion, and Sheng Rujin randomly picked an inconspicuous position and sat down.

After a while, several noble ladies walked in. For a time, the pavilion was filled with the sound of warblers and swallows, the fragrance of clothes and sideburns, and the pearls and greenery.

Sheng Rujin saw a few of these acquaintances, smiled slightly in his heart, and watched intently at the singers on the dance pavilion singing a small song, her long sleeves flying.

"Ah, isn't this the eldest lady of the Sheng family? How is it here. ”

The strange voice of yin and yang came.

Sheng Rujin looked lazily at it, it was Lin Lanzhi, the second daughter of the Ministry of Industry. It was the stupid girl who was scolded by her in Tianyizhai.

Sheng Rujin looked at her sitting opposite, and her red lips hooked slightly.

Yes, today's meal is expected to be very "exciting".

Sheng Rujin was too lazy to respond to Lin Lanzhi, and Lin Lanzhi was not discouraged, and pulled Xu Coral to sit opposite her.

Xu Shan is the most powerful, seeing that Sheng Rujin is dressed very plain today, he can't help but sneer: "Sister Sheng, why are you dressed so plain today?" You must know that today is someone's birthday feast. ”

Sheng Rujin lowered her eyes and smiled: "Look at what Sister Xu said, it's not good for me to be in the limelight at people's birthday banquets." ”

She looked at Xu Sango, who was wearing jewelry all over her body, like a treasure shelf of walking beads, and seemed to smile: "Sister Xu, you see that you are dressed so beautifully, no wonder people don't let you sit at the main table." ”

She raised her chin to gesture to a table in a larger pavilion not far away. The banquet was the main table for the nobles of the noble family and the nobles of Li Wan'er and others.

Sheng Rujin's words poked Xu Coral's sore feet. The powerful Xu Shan has always thought highly of herself, but the people who came today are extremely noble, how could she sit at the main table?

Besides, her Xu family and Zhou family are not old friends.

Xu Shan glared at her hatefully, but still quietly withdrew the half-dead gold bracelet on his wrist and handed it back to the maid.

She didn't want to offend Zhou Xiajin.

Sheng Rujin smiled and continued to drink tea and eat melon seeds.

She didn't care if she couldn't sit at the main table, after all, today was Zhou Xiajin's birthday banquet, and not driving her to dinner with the concierge and maids was already very face-saving.

You must know that in her previous life, she was much more aggrieved than she is now.

Moreover, the main table is generally the relatives of the relatives and the family of world friends, and he is just Zhou Xiajin's cousin, so he can't go to it.

……

The banquets of the official eunuchs of the Zhou Dynasty were generally very long. It was not yet noon, and there were still several hours before the feast was over.

The garden was getting more and more crowded. A commotion came, and Zhou Xiajin helped his mother to come.

Zhou Xiajin's mother, Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao looked to be about forty years old, with a slightly yellow complexion and an extremely thin body. She wore a honey-colored brocade dress, a lake blue short jacket, and a honey-colored silk shawl of the same color.

Her eyes are shrewd and sharp, and her unsmiling appearance is really hard to imagine that she is the biological mother of the mellow Zhou Xiajin.

She went to the pavilion to greet a few familiar ladies, and then went to the table to greet them one by one. When she arrived at Sheng Rujin's side, she slowly walked in.

The women stood up and said hello.

Zhou Yao's family smiled: "Today is Jin'er's birthday banquet, you ladies must have fun." ”

The women responded.

Zhou Yao's gaze swept to Sheng Rujin's face, was slightly stunned, and asked, "Are you?" ……”

She may not have seen Sheng Rujin for a long time, but she didn't know which official family had such a stunning young lady.

Before Sheng Rujin could answer, Zhou Xiajin said: "Mother, she is the eldest lady of Sheng Mansion and the eldest sister of Cousin Rulan." ”
