When Sanniang returned to the hall, she had already received the news that Prince Li was coming. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" Sun smiled on her face, listening to the ladies around her compliment her for her big face, and the birthday banquet would be invited to Prince Li.

In fact, Sun was also very suspicious at this time, she didn't know in advance that Prince Li was coming, and she didn't send an invitation to Prince Li. It stands to reason that such a big wedding banquet is extremely impolite and the most unpopular for guests who come uninvited without informing the host in advance.

But it is only for ordinary people, if it is a noble person, the owner's family will only feel that this is a very face-saving thing. Look at it now, you know, the room is full of envious eyes.

Sun smiled, waved his hand and said: "Prince Li has already arrived in Jinan Mansion a few days ago, saying that he is coming to Qingcheng County, but I didn't know that he would come in time today, and I didn't know that he would come to our mansion." In any case, since Prince Li has given us the face of the royal family like this, then we must have a good reception. It's just that this is also a matter for the men outside, so let's listen to the show. ”

The sound of discussion in the hall gradually became quieter, and the excellent singers who had stopped on the stage outside received the signal from inside, and continued to sing. Dear old ladies, the ladies poured all their energy into the stage again.

***

The stage is very lively, and Fangzhi Courtyard is much colder. There was only one Liu who was grounded by the Sun family, and an aunt who was not qualified to attend.

At this time, in Aunt Cui's side courtyard, Aunt Cui sat quietly on the couch embroidering a purse, but standing next to her was Mama Guan who was in a cold sweat.

"Auntie, what do you mean by that?" Mama Guan smiled reluctantly.

Aunt Cui looked up at Mama Guan, smiled softly, and said softly: "I'm just looking for Mama Guan to come and drink tea." As he spoke, he lowered his head and was busy with his own work. Not in a hurry.

The expression on Mrs. Guan's face didn't look much better, and she glanced at the small page of paper that Aunt Cui put in the sewing basket with some humility: "Then Auntie, what do you mean by taking this out?" ”

Aunt Cui gently bit off the thread in her hand, put the needle and thread back into the needlework basket on the side, and didn't look at the paper in the basket. I just picked up the scissors again and carefully cut off the few small threads exposed on the purse. After finishing this, she spoke again: "Mama, don't be surprised, it is said that in this world, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to prevent people." You and Cui'er do things for me. I'm grateful, and I don't want to harm you."

Seeing that Guan Pozi wants to argue. Aunt Cui shook her hand: "Needless to say, Mama Guan was not familiar with you at the beginning, so she made this decision to record the things you secretly took out of the yard over the years." lest you speak unclearly when you bite me. Now that Cui'er is getting married, she can't help me with things anymore. This is naturally going to be returned to you. ”

Guan Pozi was slightly relieved when she heard this, but she saw that Aunt Cui said so, but she didn't want to give her the booklet, so she took the initiative to say: "Auntie, what else do you need slaves to serve you?" ”

Aunt Cui saw her and smiled: "I just want Cui'er to help a little, but you said that Cui'er has been busy with the dowry recently...... Don't know if there's any free? ”

Mrs. Guan hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, auntie, nothing is as big as your business." Just say that our family will do things properly for you. ”

"After saying that, let Cui'er marry in peace. After this time, I will return to you everything that owes you. Aunt Cui said and explained a few words to Mrs. Guan.

Guan Pozi heard that she wanted Cui'er to help find something, and she was relieved. She began to see Aunt Cui's posture, and thought that she was going to poison people.

Guan Pozi glanced at the needlework basket and nodded: "The slave and maid know, and the slave and maid will go to find Cui'er." ”

Aunt Cui nodded. Guan Pozi hurriedly went.

Looking at Guan Pozi's hurried back, Aunt Cui smiled again. Over the years, Mrs. Guan has not taken out many things from the courtyard. There are also fewer opportunities to touch something really valuable in her identity. The reason why Aunt Cui would have such a handle on her mother-in-law was because Mama Guan would steal things from Fangzhi Courtyard to buy them, or she reminded her to do it after she knew that Guan Pozi had a problem with gambling. She has never believed in the word loyalty, so how dare she use her if she didn't hold the handle of Guan Pozi?

It's just that this move ends here, because there may not be a chance to use it in the future.

The time when the birthday feast began was calculated as auspicious, and the ladies listened to this play for an afternoon. Seeing that the auspicious time was coming, and the play here was coming to an end, Erniang, who was sitting there, began to pay attention to the situation here. Sanniang naturally pretended not to know, and Wuniang also watched the play with full attention.

Just as Jin said a few words in Sun's ear, and Sun stood up and was about to go back to Songling Courtyard, a little girl from Wu Niang who was originally waiting under the porch walked in and whispered a few words in Wu Niang's ear.

Sanniang looked outside under the porch and saw the maid beside Sun Yuanhong and Sun Jinsheng that day. Wu Niang glanced at Sanniang, stood up and followed the little girl out.

Sanniang knew that this was Aunt Cui asking Wuniang to follow Erniang's script to lower her guard.

Wu Niang's excuse for going out to find it just now was to go to the clean room, although the people present were a little curious, but they didn't ask much. It's just that Wu Niang has been gone for a long time, and she has not come back before the start of Sun's birthday banquet.

Sanniang and Yuanniang, they took their cousins and the ladies of various provinces and went back to Songling Courtyard along the same road. Because the birthday feast is about to begin.

Later, Sanniang's granddaughters will kowtow to the Sun family behind the Wang Dong brothers and Wang Jing brothers, and once again give the gifts they have prepared.

The auspicious time is almost here, and the brothers Wang Dong and Wang Jing have come to Songling Courtyard, but Wu Niang still hasn't come back.

"What about the fifth sister? Where did it go? Grandmother's birthday feast is about to start, why don't you see her yet? "The person who cares about you the most is actually your enemy, this sentence is not wrong at all, so the person who jumped out is naturally Liuniang.

Sun noticed the movement here and looked over, and Erniang hurriedly said, "Grandmother, the fifth sister went to change clothes, maybe she forgot the time." There is still half an hour before the birthday banquet begins, and the granddaughter goes out to find her, right? It's just that I just sent the maids back to the yard to get me a cloak, can you borrow two maids from your yard for a use? ”

Sun casually pointed to Gansong beside him: "You go with her, and quickly get the person back." Today's auspicious time is calculated according to people, and one less is unlucky. ”

At this time, Chen Simin said that she was going to change clothes, and Erniang smiled: "It just so happens that I am going to find my fifth sister, so I will show you the way." ”

Gansong called two maids again, and the few of them went out together.

I didn't want them to go out for a while, but Wu Niang came back by herself.

Sun frowned and glanced at Wu Niang, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that this auspicious time was coming, Erniang and Gan Song hurried back, and they were followed by Sun Jinsheng, who was a hanger.

It's just that Erniang's face was a little depressed at this time, especially when she saw Wu Niang standing next to Sun, the expression on her face changed very much.

"Why did you almost lose yourself when you went to find someone?" Sun frowned.

It's just that at this time, Mama Chang came to say that the ceremony of paying homage to Shou was about to begin, and Sun quickly relaxed his brows, and was supported by Jin to sit on the other side of the Shou case.

Erniang glanced at Wu Niang coldly, then looked at Sun Jinsheng, and finally stood aside without saying anything.

Chen Simin and Gan Song, who came back with Erniang, had a little weirdness on their faces, but Sun Jinsheng pouted and said in a small voice: "These people who haven't entered the young master's house yet, just take care of the east and west." The young master was just bored, joking and having some fun with my little maid, and someone pushed the door and broke in. Also, the young master is obviously flirting with my family's maid, what's the matter with your fifth sister? Do you want a bad reputation in bed? Even a man like me knows how important the reputation of you young ladies is, and you have ruined the reputation of your own sister! It's really the most poisonous woman's heart! You are like this, the young master really doesn't dare to ask for it, otherwise it won't be a good house. ”

He was not very old, but he shook his head and said this, which made everyone who heard it laugh. Only Erniang looked at her with hatred and couldn't peel off the skin and bones.

At this time, the ladies shouted over there came forward to salute.

Wu Niang covered her mouth and smiled and pulled Yuan Niang, who was standing next to her in confusion, to go first, Si Niang and Liu Niang followed, and San Niang saw that Er Niang was standing in place and did not move, so she called her with concern. Erniang suppressed her anger and went with Sanniang.

After kneeling and bowing, several people offered their birthday gifts. Wu Niang had already prepared a birthday gift temporarily, just to make her face passable at this time, and Sun would not say anything on this occasion.

But Wu Niang hadn't offered the gift yet, so Er Niang smiled and said to Sun: "Grandmother, the cousin of the Sun family naughtily hid the birthday gift of the fifth sister. Just now, the granddaughter went to look for the fifth sister and came back late, because she found that the cousin of the Sun family had hidden the birthday gift in the ear room over there. ”

Gan Song, who was already standing behind the Sun family, looked over with some surprise when he heard this, and Erniang smiled: "I actually heard that the cousin of the Sun family was playing with the fifth sister, so I went to help the fifth sister out of the siege." Sister Gansong and I were almost deceived by my cousin's trick, and he must have hidden my grandmother's birthday gift somewhere in the house. (To be continued)
