Sanniang glanced at a few birthday gifts that were still on the table and had not been removed, a yellow Feifu Buddha with a high arm, a set of dark red swastika gowns with gold thread embroidered with longevity patterns, a pair of soft-soled embroidered shoes with a dark blue background Fushou Sanduo pattern, a double-sided kang screen embroidered with Xianglu Suxi on both sides at the same time, plus Sanniang's one.

Sanniang casually swept it and saw that such a few birthday gifts, everyone's is more exquisite than her own.

Sun only glanced at it casually, and asked the maid next to him to put Sanniang's piece on the table.

Liu Niang smiled and leaned over to look: "Why are your birthday gifts all the same?" Only this Red Buddha of mine is different. Mother said that it was carved from a whole piece of red jadeite by a famous craftsman, which was extremely rare, and even more valuable than green jadeite. ”

If Wu Niang is here, she will definitely return the last sentence: The ceremony was found by your mother, and the famous craftsman carved it, so what did you do with the sixth sister? It's a pity that Wu Niang is not there, so no one responds to the sisters.

How lonely it is when there is no opponent! Liuniang saw that no one was talking, and she was a little stupid.

Sun suddenly spoke: "Why hasn't Wu Niang arrived yet?" ”

Erniang was in the same yard as Wuniang, so she said: "When the granddaughter came, the fifth sister's side hadn't been cleaned up, so the granddaughter came over first." ”

At this time, someone outside came in to reply, and Sun didn't ask again. The sisters sat together and whispered.

"Why isn't the second aunt here today?" Sanniang asked Yuan Niang.

"Mother, she was called by the eldest aunt to help in the kitchen, there are many guests today, and the eldest aunt is very busy." Yuan Niang whispered.

Today's guests Duo Sanniang knew it, because even Wang Jing came in a hurry early in the morning to ask for peace to the Sun family. was dragged out by Wang Ji's brothers to entertain guests, but the Jin family was very busy, and I was probably busy showing off her wife in front of everyone, so she handed over the tedious and faceless work of the kitchen to the second lady.

One after another, the ladies who were closer to each family came in to pay their respects to the Sun family, and the Sun family invited them to sit in the front hall. Kim greeted over there.

"Why hasn't the fifth sister arrived yet?" Yuan Niang frequently looked out.

Seeing that the guests were coming, and even Sanniang and a few people wanted to ask the Sun family to send them to the side hall in front to receive the little guests from each family, Wuniang came in. But they were empty-handed.

Liuniang's eyes looked at Wuniang, and deliberately said loudly: "Huh? Fifth sister, did you come so late to hide the birthday ceremony? It's just that. Which one is this playing? ”

Seeing Sun's eyes, he looked over. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" Wu Niang ignored Liu Niang, but knelt down in front of Sun to say goodbye.

Sun frowned: "Why is it so late?" And your clothes—"

The clothes of the sisters of the Wang family were all made for this birthday banquet in the house a while ago, and the patterns of the materials were all the same, but the colors were different, and Wu Niang's clothes were peach. But now Wu Niang's body is also peach, but it is different from the style of the material on the sisters, so Sun can see it at a glance.

Wu Niang bit her lip: "When my granddaughter first came, she tripped over something in the garden. Damaged clothes. So I went back and changed my body. ”

"Your clothes have changed, but what about your birthday? I remember the last time you said you embroidered a wall chart for your grandmother. Siniang said with a smile.

Wu Niang glanced at Sun: "I, when I just fell, the maid next to me put the birthday gift aside." You want to help me up. Who knows, when I get up and pat all the dust and grass clippings off my body, I'll look back. The birthday gift was gone. ”

As soon as Wu Niang's words came out, the sisters present looked at her with some disbelieving.

Liu Niang sneered directly: "Where is this kind of thing? How could a good birthday gift disappear? You didn't even prepare a birthday gift for your grandmother, so you deliberately made up such a story to deceive us, right? ”

Sun also looked at Wu Niang suspiciously.

Wu Niang wanted to cry aggrievedly, but she couldn't help it. She knew that the Sun family didn't like the big day, and someone touched her moldy head. If she cried, it would definitely disgust Sun. But she really didn't lie, such a strange and strange thing did happen to her just now.

She had just taken the maids to look for the garden boy carefully, but the wall chart really disappeared in front of a few people. She had to go back to her aunt to find a way, and her aunt asked her to change her clothes and hurry over, and she took someone to the garden to find it.

Originally, she was still thinking about whether she could exchange for a different birthday gift to deal with it first, but when she was preparing for a birthday gift some time ago, the sisters discussed with each other in order not to bump into each other when giving gifts. What she wants to send, several people know, if it is changed temporarily, I don't know what it will provoke, my aunt said that it is better to tell the truth.

"I looked for it seriously, but it was gone."

Sun was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Okay, maybe it was picked up by someone, there are many guests here today, maybe there is an ignorant little girl who wants to play with you." ”

Today is a good day for the Sun family, and she doesn't want anything to happen. No matter what it is, she has to wait until the birthday banquet is over to think about it, so Wu Niang's tardiness and the sudden disappearance of the birthday gift are only understated.

How can anyone here not understand Sun's thoughts? Therefore, even Liuniang, who wanted to fall into the well for Wu Niang, obediently shut up and didn't dare to say anything.

"Alright, since you're all here, let's all go to the side hall in front to help entertain the guests. I'll wait here for the old ladies from all over the province to come over, and it's not interesting for you to listen to us here. Then remember what I told you that day, and don't make me any moths. ”

Sun's voice was faint, but the sisters all respectfully stepped forward and bowed in response.

After saluting the Sun family, several people rushed out of the Sun family's main room.

Seeing that it was far away from Sun's house, Liu Niang finally couldn't hold back and said, "Fifth sister, is what you said true?" Did the birthday gift you give to your grandmother really disappear so suddenly? ”

Wu Niang glanced at Liu Niang, who was curious but more gloating, and ignored it.

"How so? Have you looked around for it? Yuan Niang frowned.

Wu Niang nodded: "I searched back and forth several times, and I went back and forth to find it the same way." ”

Sanniang looked at Erniang without a trace, and saw that she was listening to it, and there was some concern in her eyes. It's just that I don't know if it's Sanniang's illusion, but I always feel that Erniang's eyes are a little dark and a little heavy.

Maybe it's because you feel that a person is uneasy and wants to do bad things, so no matter how you look at her, you think she has a problem. Sanniang intuitively felt that this matter must be inseparable from Erniang. I just don't know what exactly she wants to do.

A few people talked and went to the side hall in front, and some people from the clan and relatives from Beppu had already come over, sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

Several people also tacitly stopped the topic and dispersed to entertain the guests.

Sanniang also chatted with Yuan Niang for a while with a few cousins in the clan, nothing more than some clothes, jewelry, embroidery, what books she read and so on.

"Eh, I heard that last time the sixth cousin fell into the river during the Midyear Festival, and then let ...... Saved? A sister from the clan said.

Yuan Niang and Sanniang glanced at each other and did not speak.

"I've also heard, how could the sixth cousin be so careless? I heard that the clan is about to help her kiss, and it is the man who saved people. ”

"What does that man look like?"

"How do I know! It's just that no matter what kind of sixth cousin she looks like, she has to get married. One sister sighed.

"Ah, that's not a pockmarked face or a collapsed nose, cross-eyed." That girl doesn't love to be pretty? Judging people by their appearance is a common problem for girls of this age.

"Huh! No, I was also there on the day of the Midyear Festival, and then it rained and we all got on the carriage and went home, and I obviously saw the carriage of the sixth cousin walking in front of my carriage, when did she fall into the river? ”

"I think I've seen her carriage when you say that."

Several people began to chatter.

"Maybe she went back again halfway through?" One asked.

So there was another discussion about this possibility.

Sanniang shook her head, and quietly retreated with Yuan Niang, looking at each other and smiling bitterly.

At this time, three more people walked in outside. One person is the sixth cousin Wang Qi that everyone talked about just now, and there is a little girl next to her who looks seven or eight points similar to her, but is half a head shorter than her.

There was also a girl who came in with them, but there was no communication between them.

The sisters who were talking vigorously over there stopped their voices when they saw the visitor.

Sanniang and Yuanniang greeted each other.

Although it was only two short days, Wang Qi was much haggard today, and there was still a thick layer of powder under him. The girl who came with her was more lively, and when she saw Sanniang and Yuan Niang, she smiled and came over to greet her. Wang Qi also smiled reluctantly, and said hello.

"Who is this sister?" Yuan Niang asked the girl who came in with Wang Qi's two sisters.

"I'm Chen Simin, and my father is Chen Tongzhi of Yanzhou Mansion." The girl greeted Sanniang and said with a smile.

Several people were thinking about which Chen Tongzhi was, when a grandmother walked in from outside and saluted the little girl named Chen Simin: "Miss, Madame is in the main hall next door, you are here to drink tea and talk to these young ladies, if there is anything to order, the slave maid is waiting under the eaves outside." ”

Chen Simin answered, and the grandmother was about to retreat, but when she looked up and saw Sanniang, she was stunned, and said in surprise: "Miss Wang San?" Your face...... All right? ”

Sanniang smiled and nodded, "Mama Xu, thank you for remembering, and thank you for the medicine sent by your wife." (To be continued)
