It sounds like persuasion, but when the words fall, those who hear this feel even worse in their hearts.

Although it is not as good as the Hou Mansion, its family background is in Qijing, and it is also in the front.

When entering the birthday gift, Mrs. Lan accepted it with a smile, and this politeness was just a formality.

And for Mrs. Dingbei Hou, it is a real welcome.

If it weren't for Xie Lan being Lord Xie's aunt and being respected by Lord Xie, today's birthday would have been prepared by Lord Xie.

Otherwise, why did they bother to prepare for their birthday gifts, get up very early to leave Beijing, and come over in the cold wind.

Got enough to hold on and have nothing to do?

Isn't it still the Xie family's court?

"When the banquet begins, I will take you to the main table to toast the fruit wine, and you can see Lord Xie, you behave well."

Many ladies of the family whispered to their daughters who had not yet left the cabinet.

Before coming, many ladies had this kind of thought, if they let them go to Master Xie by themselves, of course they wouldn't dare, just his cold aura, they were afraid.

But now, with the help of Mrs. Lan's birthday, he approached him, even if he provoked him, he didn't dare to face him coldly.

Everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, and they all want to make good use of the hard-won opportunity.

"Dress."

Mrs. Hua, who was sitting in the small pavilion on the west side, picked up a cup of hot tea, "You drink some." ”

The wind is blocked by the curtains on all sides, and there is a stove, and the veil of the gorgeous clothes to cover the wind has long been removed, and it seems to enjoy the scenery when you look around.

The two mansions that sat at the same table with Washington avoided one after another, and they heard about the ruthlessness of Miss Hua.

Don't provoke it, it's just that this face, I heard that most of it was ruined, but now it is as white as jade.

This rumor is really not credible.

Huashang was not thirsty, but he still took the teacup and put it to his lips and sipped it lightly.

There were still two minutes to go, and she and her mother arrived, which was the earliest batch.

After their birthday ceremony was finished, some ladies and ladies came over, and when they arrived at the pavilion, she was not in a hurry to enter, but walked around a little, and listened to a lot of ladies' careful thoughts.

Everyone wants to climb the high branches of Xie Mansion, and they have to be favored by Lord Xie.

When she knew those thoughts, she secretly sneered, if there was no one in Lord Xie's heart, there would be a little chance.

But now, the hearts of the people have long rejoiced, and the man can't ask for it.

are all married, and they are still thinking about it. Today we are more together, and now we are at the same table.

Thinking of this, Hua Shang smiled, and the smile on her lips made the surrounding ladies feel shocked.

Good and decent, what are you laughing at?

This smile is really scary to watch!

A few ladies remained silent, quietly moved their chairs, and stayed away from her.

All this is in the eyes of Mrs. Hua, although her heart is not very happy, but her daughter's temperament, as a mother, understands it to some extent.

So, she reached out and pulled her daughter and whispered, "Pay attention." ”

Hua Sheng collected her thoughts, her eyes drifted, she looked at the ladies present, and after a while, she moved again, "Mother, the play has begun." ”

The words fell, and she looked ahead.

This curtain is made of white yarn, and a bamboo curtain is hung outside, so that you can see the stage.

When the opera came, Mrs. Hua didn't look at it, but looked at her daughter's silhouette.

If the daughter has always been quiet and elegant, according to this appearance, there must be many children of the family who want to marry.

But because of his temperament, until today, no matchmaker has ever come to the door.

Xie Fu invited the post into the house, and her son and husband did not allow Shang'er to go with her, but she insisted on bringing it.

She hoped that by taking advantage of Mrs. Lan's birthday, she would take her to meet some noble ladies.

As for Lord Xie, she is not extravagant, the official worships the head of the cabinet, and the girl who can be his wife will not be ordinary.

In the show, it is also the one of the Qin family. But now, she has married and has become Mrs. Dingbei Hou.

Therefore, according to Mendi, those who are qualified to be wives are afraid that they are princesses of royal age.

The stage is loud, from singing to acrobatics, to shadow puppetry, singing and dancing, there are many categories and tricks.

Many ladies gradually changed their minds, and looked at them vigorously, some of them came out of the pavilion, wearing jackets, holding a small warm pot in their hands and looking at the high platform.

Gradually, when it was time to eat, the maid carried the tray, steaming hot, and the fish poured in.

All the people arrived, the pavilion was full, and with the loud salute, the banquet officially began.

At the main table, except for Qin Yunshu and Old Madam Jiang, all the children of the Xie family were there.

In addition to Xie Yunzhi and Xie Man'er, Qin Yunshu also saw Master Xie and Mrs. Xie, these two are not Xie Yunzhi's parents, but also have important uncles of the Xie family, and even Xie Yu.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and I was transferred to a remote county for more than half a year, and now I have entered Beijing again, re-received my official position, and joined the Ministry of Industry.

Although he is a petty official, he is still six.

Today's emperor, in order to be able to appoint, does not look at the level of the house. Therefore, Xie Yu can enter the Ministry of Engineering, and Xie Yunzhi should not help.

Her eyes flickered, she didn't stop, but Xie Yu smiled at her slightly, and then got up.

"Come to think of it, I used to have a little deal with Mrs. Dingbei Hou. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I would like to give you a glass. ”

After that, Xie Yu poured a full bottle of wine and raised his head to drink it all.

Xie Lan doesn't like to drink, and on her birthday, she doesn't arrange liquor, only fruit wine and rice wine.

If you don't drink in front of the crowd, you will be rude.

Qin Yunshu picked up the wine glass, covered the glass with his sleeve, drank it all, and then took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Little Master Xie, I haven't congratulated you yet, I hope you have a bright future when you join the Ministry of Labor."

Xie Yu smiled and nodded, then sat down and glanced at the little uncle quietly.

Xie Lan didn't ask about foreign affairs, but her heart was transparent, and she could see at a glance that her great-nephew and Mrs. Dingbei Hou had a holiday.

So, she smiled and patted the table gently, pretending to be dissatisfied, "Yu'er, you have been in for so long and called Aunt Tai, why don't you toast?" And luck, so are you. Could it be that my uncle and nephew said okay and bullied me, an old woman? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie Yu immediately got up, "Auntie, why are you old, you are only fifty, like a flower." ”

At this time, Mrs. Jiang also laughed, "If you are an old woman, what am I?" Look at your skin, I don't know what you use on weekdays, so delicate. ”

In a word, the topic diverges.

Qin Yunshu was silent, and when she turned her head, she saw Xie Man'er winking at her.

At this moment, she felt that Xie Man'er was much more comfortable in front of her family, and the queen's majesty and shelf did not need to be deliberately displayed.

Birthday lunch is not a feast, dinner is.

Therefore, although the number of dishes is rich, it is not too much, and at the end it is served with osmanthus cake and wine.

At noon, the lady and the lady walked out of the pavilion, led by the maid, and went to the wing room arranged in the backyard to rest.

It's not Qijing, but the surrounding counties, if you don't rush back after dinner, you will spend the night in Fuzhong.

Most of them choose to stay overnight, only a few, there are no daughters to be married at home, so they can't be tempted, just be polite on their faces.

Qin Yunshu is an exception, thinking that at his grandmother's age, it is not suitable to run around at night.

"Yun Shu."

Out of the pavilion, Xie Man'er called her softly.

Qin Yunshu stepped forward and walked over, "Niangniang." ”

"I know you like flowers, aunt's garden, there are flowers produced in the Northland tribe, which happen to be in full bloom at this time, which is more rare, together?"
