Due to the large number of people who came to congratulate the birthday, the people who entered the water hall first looked for acquaintances to whisper, and waited for the mother-in-law to call her name in order before she stepped forward to congratulate the old lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

Zhou Jiaying brought another group of female dependents, and seeing that Jiang Shuli and Ouyang Cen were chatting happily, she couldn't help but step forward and lean over, and said with a smile, "What's quiet?" ”

Jiang Shuli glanced at Ouyang Cen's flushed face playfully, and pulled Zhou Jiaying and said, "I'm praising Cousin Cen's embroidery is excellent, but it took her half a year to do her double-sided embroidery, but she is shy." ”

Zhou Jiaying opened her mouth wide in surprise, she had always been a person who couldn't sit still, she couldn't help but admire in her heart, and before she could speak, she heard someone on the side say, "What are you talking about?" ”

The three of them turned their heads to see that it was Liu Shuang who came over, followed by her brothers-in-law Liu Zhe and Cheng Lanyuan.

Several people saluted each other, and Liu Shuang took Ouyang Cen's hand with an envious look on her face, "The double-sided embroidery that Sister Ouyang just presented to the old lady is really so good that my sister is envious." ”

Ouyang Cen responded politely, "It's just an embroidery, I don't deserve such praise from my sister." ”

Liu Shuang turned her head and pouted at Cheng Lanyuan, twisted her body and said, "Brother Lanyuan, I originally asked my father to bring back a box of fine East China Sea pearls from Nanyang to the old lady to please her, but after seeing Sister Ouyang's double-sided embroidery, I am afraid that the old lady does not like the gifts carefully prepared by Shuang'er so much." ”

Cheng Lanyuan touched his nose and didn't know how to reply for a while.

Liu Zhe couldn't help but look at everyone apologetically, patted Cheng Lanyuan on the shoulder and said, "Little sister is naughty, don't take it to heart." ”

"How can I have," Liu Shuang looked at Cheng Lanyuan with a sweet smile on her face, "Brother Lanyuan, tell me, does the old lady like Sister Ouyang's double-sided embroidery, or do you like my East China Sea pearls?" ”

Ouyang Cen was ashamed and annoyed, his face was slightly stiff, and Jiang Shuli and Zhou Jiaying were full of black lines when they heard this.

Jiang Shuli cleared her throat and asked with a smile in a slightly raised tone, "Jiaying, what birthday gift did you prepare for your grandmother this year?" ”

Zhou Jiaying touched her head, she knew that her friend had found a topic to save the scene, but why didn't she mention the pot, she glared at Jiang Shuli, but saw a smile in her eyes, and clearly wrote that she mentioned the pot only because she knew that the pot was not open. Suddenly embarrassed, "I ......"

"Daguan knife." Cheng Lanyuan thanked Jiang Shuli for her help, and looked at Zhou Jiaying with a smile, "Jiaying gave another Daguan knife with a special style this year. ”

"Lan-Yuan-Brother!" Zhou Jiaying grinded her teeth, walked over with bad intentions, pinched Cheng Lanyuan with her backhand, and said through gritted teeth, "Didn't you say it but not say it!" ”

Speaking of birthday gifts, it has to be traced back to the birthday of the first old lady Zhou Jiaying just came back from Dingbian City, when Zhou Jiaying didn't know how to give gifts properly, her father patted her chest and told her to give gifts to her favorite things, so it was the most sincere.

So eight-year-old Zhou Jiaying rushed into the old lady's birthday banquet with a Daguan knife, so she also made a lot of jokes, which made her feel aggrieved, and the old lady had to coax her to say that she liked the birthday gift she gave the most, Zhou Jiaying was happy and promised to send a Daguan knife to the old lady every year in the future.

At this moment, a respectful chanting voice came from the door of the water hall, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, and the Eighth Princess have arrived!" ”

The whispers in the hall ceased for a moment.

As soon as Li Chu stepped into the threshold, what he saw was Zhou Jiaying reaching out and pinching Cheng Lanyuan's neck, he couldn't help but narrow, opened the paper fan with a snap, and walked inside.

The three of them walked into the water hall side by side, and they suddenly made people's eyes shine, secretly praising that they were worthy of being royal children, and they were handsome and plump, and their elegance was unparalleled.

The old lady greeted her in person, "The old man has seen the four princes, the six princes, and the eighth princess. ”

Li Xu hurriedly picked up the old lady who wanted to make a gift, and said politely, "The younger generation doesn't deserve such a big gift from the old lady." Today's old lady's birthday, I came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday at the behest of my father, and congratulated the old lady on her happiness like the East China Sea, and her longevity like an immortal pine. ”

The eunuch on the side began to read out the congratulatory gift sent by the emperor, and everyone in the hall was busy kneeling down to listen to the announcement.

After the eunuch finished singing the gift list, Li Xu and Li Chu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady of Zhenbei Hou and sent her to the Taishi chair to sit down, Li Xu smiled and said, "Old lady, why don't you let Cheng Lanyuan, the champion Lang, take us to the outer courtyard for a while?" ”

The old lady was busy, Cheng Lan saw that she was named, and walked forward with a smile, "Your Highness, please come with me." ”

Li Xu and Li Chu followed Cheng Lan to the outside of the hall, and when they passed by Jiang Shuli and the others, Li Xu smiled at Jiang Shuli with soft eyes, while Li Chu took a step forward, snapped the folding fan, blocked his mouth and leaned over to Zhou Jiaying and whispered, "No shame." ”

Then he gracefully followed Cheng Lan out of the water hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly very different.

Not to mention that Li Xu's smile at Jiang Shuli made everyone guess, and Li Chu's obvious actions shocked everyone's eyes wide.

The old lady pretended to calmly signal her mother-in-law to continue to let people worship her birthday, but she wondered when her family's monkey spirit would be befriended with the four princes? Isn't it that you don't know each other again? It's not a good thing to offend the royal family and nobles, you have to interrogate it carefully!

At this time, he began to sing again, and Jiang Shuli over there saw that Zhou Jiaying's face was blue and white for a while, and he couldn't help but ask curiously and quietly, "Jiaying, what did the fourth prince say in your ear?" ”

Ouyang Cen and Liu Shuang also looked over, Zhou Jiaying gritted her teeth, the hand under the wide sleeve clenched her fist tightly, opened it again, and then clenched her fist again, sparks burned in the depths of her eyes, and it took a few words to pop out from between her teeth after being suppressed for a long time, "It's nothing." ”

What else can a person who can't spit out ivory say with his dog's mouth? She scolded in her heart, inexplicably saying that she was shameless, and really thought she was a vegetarian?

"I saw the carriage from Zhirong and Shan'er's Mansion at the door just now," Li Shiqing changed the subject, "Jiaying, you have to take us out for a while." ”

When everyone congratulated their birthdays and gave gifts, the ladies sat and chatted in the water hall, and the girls couldn't bear to take a walk in the garden and lake outside the hall in twos and threes at the will of the elders.

Jiang Shuli and a group of people chatted in the evening pavilion by the lake, "Jiaying, why didn't you see your cousin today?" ”

"Exactly," Jiang Shuli said this, Li Shiqing also asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you want to take advantage of this opportunity to introduce your cousin to us?" ”

Zhan Zhirong and Yu Shan were also very interested in Zhou Jiaying, a cousin with excellent medical skills, and they were all smiling.

Zhou Jiaying turned her head to look around and responded in a low voice, "The younger sister of the Cheng family had a severe stomach ache last night because of menstruation, so I went to see my cousin this morning, saying that she wanted to be relieved by injections, so she would come over later." ”

Everyone was surprised, because it was their daughter's private matter, they all lowered their voices, "Can you still apply needles when the menstrual pain hurts?" ”

"Of course." Zhou Jiaying nodded, "Sister Cheng is in shocking pain," Zhou Jiaying saw Cheng Lanmeng rolling in pain all over the bed once, and finally fainted directly, which made her feel palpitations, "My cousin said that the needle can only be relieved, and you still have to use medicine for a period of time to recuperate." ”
