Ran Jia knew that the three children of the Qin family would participate in Xuehua's birthday banquet, so she took out the three sets of clothes she had prepared for them before, and matched them with simple and generous accessories.

The children are young and have red lips and white teeth, which are extremely delicate and beautiful, and they don't need too much decoration at all, and they have just come out of the Qinhou Mansion, so they can't go too far, otherwise they can also cause a lot of trouble.

Ran Jia restrained her desire to pay attention to and take care of her master, and she didn't even dare to step out of the door every day, for fear that she would go to the inn with a bend in her own foot. She was more anxious than her master, after all, it was the person she had served on the tip of her heart, and it was all the focus of her life.

Ying Jian couldn't help but eat it, he grabbed Ran Jia, who kept circling around the room, "Is the master important or am I important?" ”

Ran Jia glanced at him and said softly: "Both of you are important, one is the husband who will accompany me for the rest of my life, the other is the master who has the grace of reinvention for me, and the other is family affection and the other is kindness." There is no order between the two. ”

"Then if I were on death row with my wife, and you could only save one person, who would you choose?" Ying Jian was not satisfied with her impartial answer, and asked through gritted teeth, but he regretted it as soon as he spoke, in fact, he already knew her answer in his heart.

"Of course it's the master," Ran Jia said without any hesitation, she looked at Ying Jian with a rare expression of collapse and loss funny, her hand caressed his face, and said with a smile: "She is a kindness, so I want to save her to repay the grace of recreation." After the master is rescued and arranged, I will go to look for you, otherwise you will not be able to see it when you arrive in the underworld, won't you be reborn into the way of livestock, how to renew the relationship with me? ”

Ying Jian chuckled, his question was a little tricky, but Ran Jia's answer made him feel happy, he encircled the person in his arms and buried his head in her neck, "Although I should tell you to live well, find someone who cares for you as much as I do, give birth to a child for him, and accompany him to share the head." But I can't say, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who loves you and spoils you as much as I do.

I want to be husband and wife with you in the next life and the next life, so I am very selfish and want to go to Huangquan with you so that we can be reincarnated together. ”

Ran Jia snorted, "Yes, there is no one who is as stubborn and terrible as you." Feeling the honest tightness of the man's body again, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Thank you for your stubbornness, Ying Key, if it weren't for that, I really don't know what my life would be." So, you have to keep it up, and you must be stubborn with me alone! ”

"Okay," Ying Key curled the corners of his lips.

Xuehua's birthday was held quite grandly, and as soon as the day dawned, the Zhongfu diagonally opposite began to play music, and red lanterns were lit in one of the alleys, and the faint fragrance of flowers and smoke wafted in the windless and sultry late June.

Ran Jia rubbed her eyes, since she was pregnant, she has been extremely sleepy, and she continued to sleep without moving at noon, usually half an hour, but now she can't wait to sleep all afternoon, and she is sleepy early at night, and she can sleep until dawn.

She feels that she lives the life of a pig by herself, in addition to eating all day long, that is, sleeping, and being able to produce two samples is very powerful, but fortunately, she has a large number of manuscripts in the past, and she is not in a hurry.

"Will you sleep again?" Ying Key's backlit face was gloomy and tight, and he patted Ran Jia softly and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Ran Jia struggled to open her eyes and glanced at him, overflowing with a hum.

When he sleeps, Ying Jian likes to take her into his arms, and she also feels very secure, and her heart is full of happiness, and now that he got up, Ran Jia took the thin quilt into her arms, and the pillow was confused, and she couldn't wake up, but she couldn't sleep because of the noise.

Before a cup of tea, it was finally quiet outside, and she pursed her lips and fell asleep quietly.

The children of the Qin family were picked up by Ran Jia and asked the sisters of the Qiu family to take their clothes in a carriage, and then joined her and went to the Zhong family together.

Although the Zhong family is the richest man in Pingkang City, they are like nouveau riche in the eyes of the Kyoto magnates, they watch this family jump up and down, and they are very happy, but when they receive the invitation to the banquet in Zhongfu, they all shirk and do not come, or send the side branches of the family, the children, the side wife, the lady and so on.

Xue Hua dressed up all morning and wore a white thin brocade waist-cinching robe, a bright red gauze shawl, a set of blue jade with excellent water color on her head, and a smooth blue jade bracelet on the left and right on her wrists. She was covered with powder, and with a festive and proud face, she stood at the door of the inner courtyard with a group of girls and mothers-in-law to greet the visitors in person.

Looking at the female guests and children one by one, the smile on Xue Hua's face almost didn't hang, although she had only been the wife of the Zhong family for more than a month, but she was particularly careful to manage the relationship between her wives.

In the Qin Hou Mansion, she usually takes the current Mrs. Hou to various banquets, Xuehua has seen a lot, and knows that the friendship between women is very well established, a topic, a piece of jewelry, a dim sum shop, as long as it can cater to the preferences of the other party, it can be called by the intersection of handkerchiefs.

Mrs. Hou wanted power at the beginning, but she had no power, no power, no power, no money, and naturally she couldn't integrate into the circle of the powerful.

But now she is different, the Zhong family has money, Xuehua helped her husband beat the reputation of the Zhong family, and through the name of the Qinhou Mansion, she entered the mansions of various powerful people, and sent a lot of good things to those ladies.

Even if it wasn't the main owner, she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and arranged everything with a smiling face. However, Mrs. Qin Hou, who had just successfully turned over the Qinhou Mansion, and a few young masters and young ladies came with generous gifts.

The Qin Hou Mansion is a more famous and well-known family in the capital, and the plaque on the house is the ink treasure of the ancestor emperor, but his heirs have always withered, and in this generation, there are only two brothers and a sister of the Qin family.

Xue Hua showed a sincere smile at this time, hurriedly greeted him, and said all kinds of good things.

"Ah, the Zhong family is also a big family, why are all these cats and dogs coming to Mrs. Zhong's birthday banquet? Didn't you say that you personally went door-to-door to invite it? Could it be that the ladies and ladies in Kyoto got the flu on such a hot day, and they couldn't come from exhaustion? Madame Qinhou's voice was not low, she covered her lips and chuckled, and her sharp and slightly mean words penetrated into everyone's ears.

Everyone's eyes flashed with anger, this new Qinhou Lady is really a person with a small belly and can't get on the stage, once she gains power, she looks ugly, and she is extremely eager to trample everyone under her feet. But now the situation is still unclear, where can these concubines go back directly, they can only grit their teeth, listen with their ears pricked up, and prepare to go back and learn to Mrs. Zheng word for word.

Xue Hua was very angry with those untrustworthy ladies, and she didn't care about anything at this time, and followed Mrs. Qinhou's words: "Who said no, Xue Hua brought enough sincerity to the door of the mansion, and all the ladies nodded in response, but it's a pity that I prepared for them with the flowers in the garden." ”

The faces of the people were red and white, and the master's words undoubtedly said that they were cats and dogs who came uninvited, and they were pointing at the main owner of their house to accept the sincerity of others, but they did not come with a broken shelf.

"Sister Xuehua, my sister is late, I apologize for your sins," Xuehua's words just fell, and a delicate woman came with a girl and a mother-in-law, and the girl and mother-in-law were full of large and small brocade boxes.

"Snow Goose, aren't you pregnant, and Gao Shangshu is still willing to let you come?" Xue Hua shook Xue Yan's hand with joy and asked with a playful smile. Her blinking eyes were crossed with contempt, a concubine of the Shangshu family, if she couldn't still win the heart of Gao Shangshu, where would she be qualified to participate in her own birthday banquet?

"The lord said that you can't be too squeamish when you're pregnant, you have to go out and breathe fresh air, I'm in a good mood, and the child born is beautiful and smart," Xue Yan said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated my sister on her happy birthday, this is some of my sister's thoughts, you can't dislike it." ”

"How come, the Snow Goose girl can come is the greatest sincerity." What should a child born of a concubine do to be beautiful and smart? The laugh lines on the corners of her lips deepened, so that the stupid girl was obedient.

"Mrs. Zhong, the concubine of the Shangshu family is the greatest sincerity, and it is a pity that so many of us carry generous gifts to you on your birthday?" Aunt Ji, who had a hot temper in the general's mansion, couldn't help but sneer, she couldn't scold Mrs. Qinhou, but a rich family and a concubine, she could still say a sentence or two.

"Where," Xue Hua smiled on his face, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Everyone can come to Xue Hua's birthday banquet to give Xue Hua face, to give Zhong Fu face, and to make our family shine." It was Xuehua's poor care that made everyone misunderstand, come on, why don't you hurry up and serve soup and snacks to entertain distinguished guests! ”

In order to earn a rich road for Zhongfu, she spent a lot of money, not to mention the generous gifts that she had received from the mansion to cater to the ladies, it was this banquet, and Xue Yan also worked very hard to show the ladies the strong financial resources of Zhongfu, so she specially prepared rock sugar bird's nest porridge, most of the fruits transported from the south for tribute, some exquisite pastries, and expensive grape wine served in glass cups!

Now she endured the pain and put these things in front of the concubines and concubines, only hoping that they would be able to go back and reveal a thing or two to the main master.

Xue Hua took a deep breath to build his heart, the powerful have always been noble and arrogant, where can they build a rich road by visiting the door once or twice. She believes that money can make ghosts grind, and it will definitely be able to touch the hearts of those who play the role of high-ranking and powerful people on the shelf.

At that time, the Zhong family shop was not only open all over Kyoto, but also deeply rooted here, even the children born by themselves could grow up with the children of the family from an early age, and the future was limitless.
