Jiao Yuzhen looked at the girl in surprise, she didn't think that she would meet her former acquaintances when she appeared in public, but she thought that she didn't know many people, so she shouldn't be in the way, but she just let her meet her, and the girl also recognized her, if the girl said that she was Jiao Yuzhen, the third miss Jiao San in the past......

She is obviously so beautiful now, but she is still recognized......

"Your Highness the Princess."

Suddenly hearing someone call herself, Jiao Yuzhen came back to her senses, and looked at a person walking towards her with some surprise, it was Lu Shuyi, the second lady of the Hubu Shangshu family who had been tossed by her in Haoshang Palace before.

"Second Miss Lu." Seeing Lu Shuyi saluting herself, Jiao Yuzhen spoke slowly, "Why did you come to this birthday banquet?" ”

"Actually, I didn't come, but my aunt and cousin were invited, so I came with me." After Lu Shuyi bowed, she leaned over directly to Jiao Yuzhen's side and spoke, "I won't come to such a family banquet, but I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to be there, and Her Royal Highness the princess is also here to play?" ”

The "play" that Lu Shuyi said was naturally the kind of inhuman prank, and Jiao Yuzhen naturally disdained to participate: "Is this princess such a boring person?" Since you are here to attend the birthday banquet, you will give this princess rules and regulations, don't let this princess teach you a lesson! ”

Lu Shuyi didn't expect Jiao Yuzhen to teach her so seriously, she shrunk her neck slightly, answered "yes", and then retired, but Jiao Yuzhen didn't expect that Lu Shuyi walked over and sat down in a position that happened to be next to the girl!

It was a young lady I met at the year-end poetry banquet of the county lord of Wenyu, named Tan Xixuan, I heard that she was the daughter of a businessman, but I didn't expect it to be Lu Shuyi's cousin or the daughter of her aunt!

Tan Xixuan saw Lu Shuyi and Jiao Yuzhen talking, and then returned to her side, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, she didn't know if she should go over to recognize Jiao Yuzhen, or it was better to pretend not to know, but after seeing Lu Shuyi's little face with three points of grievances, she suddenly felt that the person who could cure her terrible cousin must be the talented Miss Jiao San back then, so she suddenly had an idea in her heart, so she stood up from her position.

"Xuan'er, are you going to get it?" Lu Shuyi looked at Tan Xixuan puzzled, "Aunt went to talk to Mrs. Jiao, do you want to talk to Mrs. Jiao?" Those people can't get on the stage, you are obediently by my side, so there are no lowly people to talk to you. ”

Although Lu Shuyi has been involved in officialdom for the first time, she doesn't take the small family in her eyes, the power of the Ministry of Rites is not big, but it is a place full of oil and water, which businessman does not need to deal with her, so she naturally does not put those people in her eyes, but usually she will not say it, but for her gentle and cowardly cousin, if she does not know, Tan Xixuan will have a set of reasons to explain.

"I ...... I just ......" Tan Xixuan is very afraid of Lu Shuyi, because she has often been with Lu Shuyi since she was a child, she knows what this cousin has done, and she really doesn't dare to disobey Lu Shuyi.

Seeing that Tan Xixuan was stopped by Lu Shuyi, Jiao Yuzhen felt that the other party would not jump out at this time to say her identity, so she also stood up in her position, the time was still early, and the visitors had not arrived, the ladies in the glazed flower hall and the inner courtyard were chatting in groups, she was not interested, so she thought about walking around, maybe to the place where she used to live.

"Your Highness the Princess." Jiao Yuzhen led Yan Duo out of the Liulihua Hall, and saw Liu Wu coming over and saluting her, "The old lady said that Her Royal Highness the princess is probably not familiar with Jiao's mansion, so let the slave maid come to serve Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Seeing that Liu Wu's eyes were full of expectation, Yan Duo, who was still a little unhappy, suddenly understood, this Liu Wu must have been Jiao Yuzhen's maid before, and now the old lady Jiao Pan is simply borrowing flowers to worship the Buddha and sending Jiao Yuzhen's former maid over to please Jiao Yuzhen.

"You're smart, and Princess Ben likes it too." Jiao Yuzhen smiled at Liu Wu, and said to Yan Duo beside him, "Go and talk to Old Madam Jiao, this maid is the princess." ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Recognizing the identity of the catkins, Yan Duo smiled at the catkins, turned around and walked away.

"Miss ......" Seeing that there was no one nearby, Liu Wu called out a little excitedly, "The slave is finally looking forward to it." ”

"Makes you suffer, catkins." Jiao Yuzhen's heart was also full of emotion, she didn't trust Liu Wu very much back then, but today, she feels that it is very reassuring to let Liu Wu stay by her side.

Liu Fu shook his head slightly, stabilized his emotions, and knew that he couldn't say anything more at this time: "The kitchen is ready, and the guests are almost here." It's the old lady's birthday banquet, although there was a little misunderstanding at the beginning, but the guests were happy. At this time, the male guests all came, after all, there was no male host in Jiao Mansion who could come out to entertain them. ”

"Is the young master still here?" Squinting her apricot eyes slightly, Jiao Yuzhen asked softly, but when she saw that she seemed to recognize her gaze, she turned around and walked slowly towards the way she came.

"No, the slave maid has never seen Young Master Hongfu, and she hasn't even mentioned it to the old lady." Liu Fu lowered his head and followed behind Jiao Yuzhen, speaking in a very small voice, which also ensured that no one except Jiao Yuzhen could hear it.

"It's so strange...... Jiao Yuzhen didn't say anything more, and when she returned to her seat, Liu Wu also stood behind her naturally, and then Yan Duo came back, and when she came back, she also had Liu Wu's deed of sale in her hand.

Seeing that the guests were seated one after another, Mrs. Jiao Pan was very happy to announce the start of the birthday banquet, she sat in the main seat, Jiao Yuzhen on the left, Wang on the right, a bunch of guests in the flower hall, the scene looks a little bit of the prosperous scene of the past, in fact, it has been many years, Mrs. Jiao Pan has not held a birthday banquet for herself, she may not have thought that one day she will use this reason to invite so many guests.

The dancing girls who performed the song and dance began to come up and dance, and the maids served delicious food one after another, and the atmosphere in the flower hall was lively.

Jiao Yuzhen just picked up a piece of barbecue meat and wanted to put it in her mouth, but suddenly found a gaze staring at herself, she raised her head and took a look, and found that it was Wang who was looking at her, which provoked her to put down the meat in the chopsticks.

This Wang family has not liked her since she was a child, and she used to pretend to be a loving mother, but later she turned her face directly, but Jiao Yuzhen was not afraid of Wang's face before, so now she is not afraid......

"Princess, be careful!"

Yan Duo shouted while trying to stop the maid who was hobbling over with a bowl of soup, but because she shouted, Jiao Yuzhen immediately came back to her senses and sat up straight, just blocking Yan Duo's movements, so in the chaos, I don't know if Qingyun shot out a small pebble, and the bowl of hot soup was not poured on Jiao Yuzhen's body, but because Jiao Yuzhen hindered Yan Duo's movements just now, Yan Duo accidentally fell into Jiao Yuzhen's arms and tore the collar of the robe on Jiao Yuzhen's body!

Yan Duo's face suddenly turned pale, and Liu Wu was also surprised, Jiao Yuzhen simply sighed that the passing years were unfavorable, in such a situation, Yan Duo actually tore the collar of her robe, making the already wide collar even more exposed, and now tearing it will destroy the beauty of the clothes.

Jiao Yuzhen didn't rush to blame Yan Duo, but she didn't leave a trace to look at the little maid who sent the soup, and also glanced at the catkins, and suddenly had a plan in her heart, even Yan Duo could stop it, but the catkins were secretly standing aside, Qingyun also made a move to successfully knock over the bowl of soup, if the catkins reached out and pulled Yan Duo just now, everything would not have happened!

Silently sighed in my heart, in fact, I have long heard the truth of "the tree falls and the monkey scatters", but before her tree falls, the monkeys have already dispersed, in this case, don't blame her for being ruthless in the future!

"This girl can't even serve soup?" There was a fuss here, Mrs. Jiao's face was not good-looking, she glared at the little maid with hatred, but found that the little maid was pale, and she cowered and stepped back, but her legs and feet were obviously inflexible, after all, Pan Shi came out of the struggle step by step, and the old man who had been rolling in the deep house for so long, how could he not see that the little maid's leg was injured, and a maid with an injured leg could not have the opportunity to serve soup to a distinguished guest like the princess, today's birthday banquet was organized by the Wang family, If she couldn't see that this was the Wang family's arrangement for the little maid to make hot soup for Jiao Yuzhen, wouldn't she have lived in vain in this life?

"Oh, it's all the minions who are not good, Your Royal Highness the princess don't be angry, the women will definitely punish her." Wang hurriedly got up from his seat and walked in front of Jiao Yuzhen, and seemed to be very kind to protect Jiao Yuzhen, intentionally or unintentionally, so that the eyes of others in the flower hall could not see the cracks on Jiao Yuzhen's clothes, but he deliberately raised his voice, "Princess, why are your clothes broken?" Come on, hurry up with the women, and the women will take you to the back to change your clothes. ”

Jiao Yuzhen's eyes were slightly dark, but with a smile on his face, he casually took the long-sleeved yarn handed over by Liu Wu and wrapped it around his neck, which happened to block the place where the collar on his chest was torn: "It's okay, this princess can't ruin the old lady's birthday banquet because of her own negligence." ”

Jiao Yuzhen's words were extremely decent, and on the spot, everyone felt that this Princess Ranxin was not only noble, but also a kind-hearted person, otherwise the ordinary master would not be able to beat and scold when he saw that the minions had made mistakes?

The Wang family didn't care whether Jiao Yuzhen wanted to punish that little girl or Yan Duo, anyway, her purpose was to make Jiao Yuzhen ugly, and then leave the Liulihua Hall, as for the next thing, it was not up to her.

Yan Duo didn't dare to breathe, so he helped Jiao Yuzhen to get up from his seat, and then followed Wang's lead and walked out of the Glass Flower Hall.

"Liu Wu, you also went over and waited." Pan saw that the catkins were still standing in place, so he said.

The expression on Liu Fu's face was still very calm, but there was a bit of complicated light flashing in her eyes, and she answered "yes" and left.

The little maid who had knocked over the soup had already cleaned up the soup bowl on the ground, and did not leave immediately, but cleaned the ground with the other maids before leaving.

Pan Shi felt a little strange in his heart, this maid did not beg for mercy, although she was obviously scared because of what happened just now, but a maid who did something wrong would not beg for mercy or leave according to the opportunity given by the master...... She had only one reason, and that was that she had made up her mind to die when she did this, but now that she was not immediately executed, she was unwilling to leave here, after all, no one would do anything to her in front of everyone.

"Her Royal Highness the princess will come out in a while, don't worry, let's continue." Pan withdrew her gaze from the little maid and looked at the people in the flower hall, she didn't know if today's show was the Wang family's so-called, or if someone else was planning in her Jiao Mansion, but this birthday banquet must also continue, after all, ...... She knew she didn't have a next time.
