Chapter 72 Song Yuanxuan's Birthday Banquet

"Sister, come and sit here." Song Yan smiled and beckoned to Song Zhi, looking unnecessary, there was an empty seat next to her, which seemed to be reserved for Song Zhi. In the eyes of everyone, they probably think that the two are still a pair of harmonious sisters.

Zhang Huilan stood next to Song Yan across the vacant seat, glanced at her with some fear, as if she had made some decision, and gently shook her head at Zhang Xinlan.

Zhang Xinlan also saw the expression of her sister-in-law, she glanced at Song Yan and Song Zhi quickly, raised her hand holding the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhi'er's aunt is at that table." Sister, say hello. Don't pay attention to me, I'll say a few words to Hui'er. ”

After that, Song Yan was calling herself, and sat straight to the position between Zhang Huilan and Song Yan.

If Zhang Xinlan didn't do this, Song Zhi wouldn't have paid attention to Song Yan, but she did it, and put the mistake of being ignorant on herself, fulfilling Song Zhi. Although she also has her own selfish considerations in doing this, Song Zhi inherited her favor in the end.

"How did she come out? Didn't you say that you lived in the West Mountain Garden? How did you become so obese? I want to have a very good time in Beiyuan. Xiao Chen affectionately hugged Song Zhi and whispered in her ear. Xiao Chen still had a warm smile on his face, and others only thought that Song Zhi had a close relationship with his grandfather's family, but they didn't think much about what the two were whispering.

"My father couldn't give up in his heart, so he let her go to the other garden. This is her nephew's birthday again, and she won't be allowed to come because of her bad face. Song Zhi sat down next to Xiao Chen and said helplessly. Hearing the second half of Xiao Chen's words, Song Zhi couldn't help but hook his lips.

After everyone sent their congratulatory gifts, Zhang Huilan was a person who couldn't speak thoughtfully, and after a few auspicious words, the banquet began.

The maids went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes, and Xiao Chen first sandwiched a piece of white jade onion shredded crisp for Song Zhi, "But your father values you and your younger siblings more, whether it's sent to another garden, it's always out of sight and out of mind." ”

Xiao Chen asked again with no peace of mind, "You won't stay for long, will you?" ”

"The carriage from the other garden is waiting outside, and she can't stay tonight." Song Zhi took a small bite, and the slippery shrimp meat was wrapped in a faint onion fragrance, and when he swallowed it, he said, "It tastes good, uncle, you can also taste it." ”

After that, he used chopsticks to clip one to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen also tasted it, but he was absent-minded and his mouth was boring.

Song Zhi saw Xiao Chen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, but it was not a good thing to speak at this moment, just as the maids made a dish of bamboo and duck soup, Song Zhi personally served a bowl and handed it to Xiao Chen. "Uncle, don't you have a good appetite, first use a soup to moisten your stomach."

There were several female dependents sitting at their table, Song Zhi didn't know much about them, and with the help of the maids' cooking, everyone took advantage of this time to gossip casually.

The other people Song Zhi didn't care much, but the Zhang family had a cousin who made Xiao Chen and Song Zhi a little interested.

This lady's surname is Xin, and her name is Xin Xianghuan. It is not difficult to see the appearance, but the skin is yellow, and a thick layer of powder is still exposed. "My father-in-law and Mrs. Lin's son are colleagues? It's just that he is not as capable as Lin Gongzi, but he is just an editor. ”

Xin's mother-in-law is the sister-in-law of Zhang Xinlan's mother Xu, and the family she married is naturally not as noble as Zhang's house.

And before the Xin family came out of the cabinet, she was the most unfavored concubine in the house, and her appearance and talent were not outstanding, so she only married the sister-in-law of a seven-grade sesame petty official, and her father-in-law's little son had to raise a large family in Wuyang and Wuyang.

But the spice is very angry, and she forces her husband to study hard every day, but fortunately, Qiao Le is used to working hard, and she didn't feel that life was too sad when she forced her head to hang over the beam and stab her hair. But her mother-in-law was saddened, and Qiao Le, who was getting thinner and thinner, often quarreled, making the family unhappy.

Fortunately, Qiao Le finally won the fame, but this small official is only a seven-grade, not as good as his father's six-grade. Xin Xiang relied on his identity, and felt that his maiden family was also a positive fourth grade again, so he naturally looked down on Qiao Le's current official position, and still asked him to make more promising colleagues in Qiao Le's ears all day long.

Although Qiao Le is very satisfied with his current position as an editor, he is also an inward-looking person and does not dare to disobey Xin's words, but he is wooden by nature, and it is always very abrupt to do this kind of flattery, which causes many jokes. Qiao Le became more and more embarrassed, guarding his desk all day long, and no longer dared to talk to others.

Xin was so angry that she had to go out on her own, but she couldn't go out every day to socialize, right? Knowing that today's banquet in the Song Mansion was just a post made by Zhang Huilan through the Zhang Mansion, a cousin of yours who married outside the country can naturally come or not, but how could the Xin family let go of this good opportunity to make friends with powerful people?

"I heard my husband say that Lin Gongzi is dignified and good-looking, and his literary style is good, and he is really the dragon and phoenix among people!" Xin spoke quickly and quickly, if this is placed on a person with rules, it can get a refreshing impression. But Xin shook her head as she spoke, and she could hear her mouth full of saliva as if she was reluctant to swallow it.

It can be seen that as a concubine, she has not been well taught, and even her demeanor is so indecent, let alone talented.

Xiao Chen and Song Zhi only felt very embarrassed when they heard this full of praise.

Another cousin of Zhang's mansion couldn't help but tug at Xin's sleeve under the table, Xin's was on the rise at this time, but he didn't notice it at all, and was still talking, "When I marry the tenth princess in the future, it will be really monstrous and rich!" ”

These words happened to step on Xiao Chen's sore spot, and the impeccable smile on her face burst instantly. She took a spoonful of crab roe and put it in her mouth, not wanting to take it.

"Mrs. Qiao said this, but she should be thirsty." Song Zhi patted Xiao Chen's knee and glanced at the meteor again.

Meteor immediately stepped forward to fill a bowl full of silver silk tofu soup for Xin's and put it in front of Xin's, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't drink it, and specially pushed the bowl.

"Why bother the big girl next to Miss to serve me soup." The joy on Xin's face was too obvious, as if this was some kind of gift, which made Song Zhi quite embarrassed.

But after all, she only had one mouth and was busy drinking soup, and she couldn't speak in the end, and everyone present felt quiet in their ears.

Song Zhi saw that Xiao Chen's mood was not good, so he asked, "Is my aunt drunk?" I'll help you get some rest. ”

Xiao Chen nodded on the donkey and said to everyone: "Everyone use it slowly, I'll leave first." ”

Song Zhi and Xiao Chen were together, and Song Yan noticed that she only sipped half a glass of wine tonight and didn't eat anything.

Zhang Xinlan saw that her eyes frequently fell on Song Zhi, and she felt strange in her heart. After Song Zhi left, Song Yan sucked off half of the residual wine in the cup, showed a somewhat weird smile, and then got up and said to Zhang Huilan and Zhang Xinlan: "Sister-in-law, I'll go see Xuan'er." ”

Zhang Huilan naturally wouldn't stop it, nodded and said, "Sister, go." Song Yan is one year older than Zhang Huilan, but Zhang Huilan still calls her sister. Zhang Xinlan always felt awkward when she heard it, she was in harmony with her current husband, Qin Se, and she inevitably felt a trace of guilt for Zhang Huilan.

This time, in addition to visiting Song Zhi, she also really wanted to come and see Zhang Huilan. She prepared two gifts, one was a congratulatory gift, and one was a little golden pig with a full name, and she was going to hand it over to Zhang Huilan privately to make her a private room.

Only halfway through this banquet, Song Zhi and Xiao Chen left, the two of them were noble, naturally no one dared to say that they were rude.

"Auntie, are you worried about Cousin Lang's marriage?" Song Zhi took Xiao Chen and planned to go to Le Xiangzhai to visit Lin.

"What's the use of worrying about it, it's all booked." There was no one around, and in front of Song Zhi, Xiao Chen dared to sigh, "I don't dare to think about being honored by this daughter-in-law, I just hope that the princess's temperament can be better, and it is good to be considerate to Lang'er." ”

Song Zhi cleaned up the mess for Song Yan last time and saved the tenth princess, the tenth princess sent someone to send a lot of rewards to Song Zhi, not all of them were vulgar things such as gold, silver and jewelry, and there were some novelties from tribute, which seemed to have been picked with heart.

Later, he invited Song Zhi into the palace and said a few times, and Song Zhi got along several times, and felt that the tenth princess was indeed pampered, but the essence was not bad.

However, these words are not convincing, after the tenth princess and Lin Tianlang are engaged, they will get along, what kind of person and what kind of temperament they will naturally come to the fore, and there is no need for Song Zhi to say anything more.

Song Zhi thought like this, and fell silent.

"Speaking of which," Xiao Chen patted Song Zhi's hand, "what's wrong with you and Yan'er?" ”

Song Zhi lowered his head and was silent, and said, "Sister Qing is too obsessed, and she takes that empty emotion too seriously. ”

Xiao Chen didn't understand, and looked at Song Zhi with a puzzled expression, but Song Zhi didn't mean to explain, just looked up at the moon hanging in the treetops, and the moonlight made her complexion as white as a pearl, as if it was about to melt.

The two walked into Le Xiangzhai, and Lin was holding Song Tian in one hand and a wave-breaking drum in the other hand to tease Song Tian.

"Come on, come on, give me a hug." As soon as Song Tian saw Xiao Chen, his eyes turned around, like a black stone in a pool, with a stream of water.

"Tian Tian, why is he so energetic." Song Tian didn't recognize her life, and she didn't make a fuss when she was held by Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen's liked it, and she had several incense on her face.

"I slept well at noon, and at night I was as energetic as a little tiger." Lin said with a smile.

Seeing such a happy scene, Roucui carried the news she had just heard from the little girl who was talking about it, and hesitated to know whether to go in or not.

'That's it! It's urgent! Roucui walked in.
