On the day of the birthday, the news that Qingfu was awarded the title of marquis has spread all over Qingzhou Mansion, and for a time there was an endless stream of congratulators, and the Qingzhou prefect came to congratulate him with his wife and daughter.

Qingyan and her sister Qinglian came to the garden with Qingnuan, this is a scene of Qingfu Garden, it is the height of summer, and the flowers bloom is a good time to enjoy the flowers, so the ladies and boudoir ladies who came to celebrate from all the provinces were brought here, and for a time the warbler Yanyan was very gorgeous.

"Huh! Isn't this Miss Qingfu Six? Why did you lose a lot of weight from the last time you saw each other during the Dragon Boat Festival? It's not as cute as that. Zhao Yuanmei led the daughter of the boudoir last time to put her eyes on her as soon as she entered, and then when she saw her bright peach blossom eyes, she didn't like it, and then thought of her status in the Qingfu, and there was a little more contempt between the words.

"Miss Zhao is still as stunning as ever!"

Qinglian didn't like it, when Qingyan was about to speak, she stepped forward and smiled Yanyan, but when the words fell, Qinglong's face sank, and she looked at Zhao Yuanmei carefully, only to see that she was wearing a snow-white lotus skirt, with her head pulled into a bun, and her makeup was lightly wrapped, and she was already sixteen years old, with excellent body development, and she was slim and charming.

Zhao Yuanmei saw that Qinglong didn't like it, bit her lower lip, thinking of her father and mother's entrustment last night, she was unwilling, but thinking that although Qingxuanlang was four years younger than herself, when she saw her today, she was also a handsome son, and she was extraordinary.

I don't know where my brother inquired about the news, saying that except for the four rooms in the Qingfu, you don't have to take it to heart, and the others must not be offended, otherwise the family's plans will be in vain. But now, no matter how she looks at it, she feels that the Qinglong of these three rooms is really unproductive, the measurement is narrow, and the length of the person is average, which is not as good as the sixth lady who is not taken seriously, I really don't know how this Qingfu runs the family.

Thinking of housekeeping, she suddenly remembered, isn't this Qingfu now a three-room house? Master Qingsan is doing business outside, and Mrs. Qingsan is in charge of the inner courtyard, so it is no wonder that her father, mother, and brother want her not to offend Qinglong.

"What are you talking about? I am a guest today, how can I take away the grace of the Lord's house? Come and take a look at these three young ladies, with peach blossoms in blue skirts and hibiscus faces, although they are still young, they can already see that the future will be above me! She suppressed her disgust and smiled very sincerely.

"Yes! This Miss Qingsan is really good-looking, and she will definitely be a beauty embryo in the future. ”

"Miss Zhao is right! These three young ladies are really captivating the country and the city! ”

“....... .......”

Everyone, you say, I say, Qinglong is praised as rare in the sky, not on the ground, and she also feels very useful, her face is flushed, and it is even more attractive and delicious, but she forgot that there is also a Qiu Rui in this mansion.

"Really? How can I look at Cousin Long'er, who is not as cute as Nuan'er! ”

Sure enough, she walked out breathlessly, sneering, making Qinglong's body tremble suddenly, and there was a wry smile behind her, she really forgot that this cousin was the object she had always flattered!

"My cousin is right, I'm really not as cute as Nuan'er, if there is anyone better than my cousin in terms of beauty! My cousin is really captivating the country and the city! ”

Qingyan saw that the young ladies who appeared because of Qinglong's words were very happy for a while, such an interesting scene is extremely rare!

Qinglian casually pressed the smile on the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, no way, she doesn't have Yan'er's good concentration, you see that she has always been calm and natural since she came here, even if the smile in her eyes has overflowed, she is still so light.

Qing Nuan didn't know what was going on, but she was still very happy to hear someone praise her cuteness, especially when she felt that her two sisters were also in a good mood, she smiled brightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old lady and the ladies are already waiting in the flower hall of the Summer Palace, please go with the slaves." Qingluo stepped forward with a smile and gave a salute.

Qingyan looked at the clear sky, thinking that it should be the time now, the guests have gathered, the juniors should give gifts, thinking of her birthday gift, she became more and more happy, hoping that this grandmother can understand her own meaning, otherwise it will be in vain to waste her thoughts.

Summer Palace

As soon as Qingyan entered, he saw the ladies of various houses sitting on both sides of the flower hall, the mother and aunt greeted, the eldest aunt and the second aunt accompanied the old lady, and the third lady instructed her subordinates to do things on the side, and there was a harmony here.

"Long'er sees her grandmother, may her grandmother be healthy and live a hundred years!" She was holding a pair of embroidery in her hand, and knelt there very obediently.

"Good! Good! Good! The old lady smiled from ear to ear, only stretched her hand to signal her to get up, Gu Mama sent the silver zither and the original heart to take it, and then opened it, only to see a big golden longevity in the hall blooming with dazzling brilliance.

"Yo, this is really a good craft, which young lady is this?"

"I just heard the old lady say that it was Long'er, I think it must be the third lady of Qingfu, I didn't expect that I already have such embroidery skills at a young age, it's really amazing!"

“...... ...... ”

Everyone's praise was endless, and Li Wanru and the old lady were very proud. Qingyan lowered her eyebrows and smiled, but she said secretly in her heart: embroidery? What a joke!

"Rui'er knocks on her grandmother and wishes her grandmother a long life than Nanshan!"

Qiu Rui thought that Yu Huayuan had let Qinglong steal the limelight before, how could she indulge her again at this time?

"Good! Good! Get up! ”

"Grandmother, this is the Lotus Sutra copied by Rui'er, I hope my grandmother is in good health and worry-free!"

"The Lotus Sutra? I heard that this scripture can help people eliminate disasters and solve problems, I really didn't expect that the granddaughter of the old lady has such determination, and she should be a model for everyone! ”

"Not bad! This scripture is the most strictly copied, the heart must be sincere, and the handwriting must be neat, which is completely rare for a girl of this size to be able to copy. ”

“...... ......”

Everyone talked about it, and Mama Gu had already sent this scripture to the old lady's hand, she looked through it at will, and saw that although the handwriting was naïve, it was extremely delicate and neat, and it was not difficult to see that Qiu Rui was indeed attentive.

"Rui'er really has a heart!" She was moved and hugged her for a while before she returned to normal.

Qingyan looked at such an old lady and was very emotional, this is the feeling that a grandmother should have, right? It's a pity that she has always been fierce with her three sisters.

Qinglian and Qingnuan stood in place, not knowing whether to advance or retreat, the two birthday gifts were quite elegant and precious, thinking of what they had prepared, they couldn't take it for a while.

Qingyan stood between the two, took their hands and took a step forward, and knelt on the ground respectfully:

"Lian'er, Yan'er, and Nuan'er congratulate grandmother on her birthday, and wish grandmother everything goes well, and the sun and moon are prosperous!"

"Hmmm! Get up! ”

"This is a congratulatory gift prepared by Yan'er and her sister and sister, and I hope my grandmother likes it!"

Qingyan saw her faint look, she didn't care, she always felt that the old lady was knowledgeable in that life, and now it seems that maybe she was like this when she was young, but now she is short-sighted and doesn't know the general situation, otherwise she wouldn't put on a face for her family in front of so many people, you must know that no matter what is inside, in the eyes of outsiders, this Qingfu is one.

After Yi Han and Yi Xuan's words fell, they held a two-meter-long embroidery together, and then unfolded it silently, and suddenly there was an uproar in the hall.

I saw that it was a two-meter-long, one-meter-wide double-sided embroidered pine and cypress evergreen screen, a rough look is just an ordinary pine and cypress evergreen picture, but if you look closely, you can find that each thing in this picture is just composed of the word longevity, such a ghostly embroidery skill immediately amazed the four, and even silently introduced into the outer courtyard, causing everyone to be amazed.

"Sixth sister, you and I went to clan school together, but I didn't know that you could embroider on both sides?" Qinglong's eyes narrowed slightly, before this, she had clearly asked people to inquire about the birthday gifts of the three of them, but they were all things that could not be put on the table, but now it seems that this is not the case, and she has steadily suppressed her limelight.

"The third sister said that she laughed, you haven't learned embroidery, how can I get it when I'm just seven years old?"

"You! Hum! So, you bought this birthday gift? I didn't know that Aunt Fourth gave you so much pocket money! ”

"It seems that the third sister also likes this screen, but it's a pity that it's for grandmother!"

"Who cares about your? The birthday gift for my grandmother is important to my heart, and you didn't do it yourself, it was clearly perfunctory. ”

"Who told you I didn't do it myself? I only said that I don't know how to embroider on both sides, but this pine and cypress evergreen picture is made by me and my sister and Nuan'er, please embroidered by sporadic embroiderers, it can be said that there is only this one in the Manqing Prefecture. ”

"You-"

"That's it! It's just a birthday gift, so why quarrel? Mama Gu go put it away! ”

The old lady stopped drinking in time, glared at Qingyan slightly, Qinglong didn't notice it before, but everyone present heard what she said: You haven't learned to embroider, this is clearly saying that Qinglong's longevity is not from her hand, so that if you continue to argue, it will only be your baby granddaughter who will be ashamed.

Qingyan saw her mind clearly, and quietly retreated with the same shocking Qinglian and Qingnuan, this birthday gift was prepared after she recovered her memory, although it was amazing, and it looked extremely good, but only she knew that all the embroidery threads were soaked in oleander juice and then dyed by tea leaves, covering up the fragrance of flowers, making this embroidery more distinctive.

What's more, the old lady has a special obsession with the pine and cypress, I believe that even if she doesn't like herself, she will definitely take it out from time to time to take a look, then the fragrance of oleander flowers will play a role, and the old lady will be a major blow, although it is not fatal, but it can make her drowsy, and she can no longer embarrass her mother for a long time, looking for her father's bad luck, and also creates an opportunity for her next action.
