Chapter 15 Invitations to the Banquet

Mu Yan looked sullen.

"Ah Yan, why are you upset, tell my sister." Mu Yan always looks like he is jumping around on weekdays, but suddenly he is in an uproar, and Mu Qingwan is also a little worried.

"Sister, when are we going home, I miss my father and brother. Ah Yan hadn't seen them in a long time. Xiao Mu Yan pursed his mouth, and the little short hand took Mu Qingwan's hand.

"It should be soon, my mother and mother have arranged to pack up their things. Ah Yan is obedient, and we will go home in a few days. Mu Qingwan pinched Mu Yan's little face and patiently comforted Xiao Tuanzi.

"Well, Ayan is obedient." Mu Yan nodded in agreement.

"Cousin Qingwan. Is Auntie here? Wang Chengkai strode over, holding a gilded printed invitation in his hand.

"Cousin Cheng Kai." Mu Qingwan and Mu Yan responded in unison.

"My mother is in the house, Cousin Cheng Kai, is there anything wrong?" Mu Qingwan asked politely.

Mu Yan couldn't help but run back to the back room on his little short legs, "Mother, mother, cousin Chengkai, here." ”

"Auntie, Mrs. Wancheng Taishou sent an invitation, and two days later, the family members of Wancheng officials will be entertained. I specially sent you a copy, and my mother asked me to ask what you mean. Wang Chengkai stepped forward and stood outside the house to explain.

"Wancheng is too guarded?"

"Yes, Auntie. Now Wancheng Taishou is the three rooms of Anle Houfu. ”

The relationship between the capital is complicated, and those who turn the corner may be related to each other. Mrs. Mu's eldest sister is married to the second son of Anle Hou Mansion, the second room of An Le Hou Mansion. However, the rooms of the Anle Hou Mansion are fighting openly and secretly, and there is no harmony inside. Now that Wancheng Taishou has issued an invitation, it is just a matter of face. But if she doesn't go, the eldest sister may be blamed for it in the future.

After weighing it in her heart, Mrs. Mu accepted the invitation.

When Wang Chengkai left, Mu Yan also followed.

"Mianmian, when the banquet is over, we should go back to Pingcheng. Go shopping in the streets in the afternoon and buy some gifts for your dad and brother to go back. Mrs. Mu led Mu Qingwan back to the back room.

Wancheng is located in the border fortress military stronghold, not as good as the development of Pingcheng, the streets appear much deserted.

In the afternoon, Mu Qingwan followed Mrs. Mu to visit several time-honored shops, and bought a piece of jade pendant with good color for Mu Erye and Mu Chen, and bought a good pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, including the precious Duan inkstone with the white pattern of banana leaves, as well as the basic precious solitary book, and also made a lot of effort to search.

When I was on the way, I was still in the dim sum shop, buying local snacks for Muyan snacks.

It's in a woman's nature to shop, and there's nothing wrong with that. Mrs. Mu took Mu Qingwan to buy and buy in a big way. has a daughter herself, and she spares no effort to buy things on her daughter.

In the silk shop, Mrs. Mu bought a few brightly colored cloths, and she wanted to buy a few sets of ready-to-wear clothes for Mu Qingwan.

"Mianmian, my mother thinks this one is also good-looking. Mianmian definitely looks good to wear. Mrs. Mu took a pale pink dress and gestured on Mu Qingwan.

"Mother, enough is enough. Don't buy it, you can't take it. There are a lot of pink clothes that Pingcheng doesn't wear at home. "Mu Qingwan didn't feel sorry for Mrs. Mu for spending money, after all, she was not a bad person in her previous life. It's just that, according to Mrs. Mu's posture, I really can't move the shop back. Mrs. Mu really didn't have anything to say to Mu Qingwan, in Pingcheng, she would make new clothes from time to time, and many clothes had not been put on yet, so they were too small to wear.

Mrs. Mu looked back behind her, Ji Xiang Ruyi's hands were full of things, and the few guards behind her were almost buried by large and small packages, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she silently put down the clothes in her hands.

"I'm going to Wancheng Taishou Mansion to attend a banquet in two days, let's go to the jewelry store to have a look." Mrs. Mu still didn't give up, and after thinking about it, Mu Qingwan's head was clean, and she only had two buds on her head, so she still had to go to the jewelry store to have a look.

Mrs. Mu took Mu Qingwan and went straight to the largest jewelry store.

It is worthy of a century-old shop, with hairpins, baguio, earrings, and bracelets inside...... The variety is dazzling, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and even some small objects are exquisitely made.

Mu Qingwan is still young and can't afford too luxurious jewelry. Mrs. Mu selected two small velvet flowers for Mu Qingwan, and those who have insight will definitely recognize that the fabric of the velvet flowers is more precious than the floating brocade, and there are two small bells hanging under the velvet flowers, with walking, making a crisp sound, look carefully, the small bells are also carved with children's frolicking patterns, very exquisite, full of childlike fun, just enough to tie to the head. Although it is an inconspicuous trinket, it also costs dozens of taels of silver.

"Mianmian, what do you think of this, do you like it or not?" Mrs. Mu asked Mu Qingwan expectantly.

Mrs. Mu's eye is indeed precise, playful and exquisite. Mu Qingwan liked it at a glance.

"Mother, Mianmian likes it." Mu Qingwan nodded with a smile.

"Hehe, come on, let's pick a few more."

"Mother, I want to buy this for my brother." Mu Qingwan was holding a jade pendant of a little tiger in her hand, and the high-quality jade was carved into the appearance of a little tiger rolling, which was vivid and lifelike, especially the little tiger's demeanor was particularly similar to Mu Yan's appearance when he was coquettish and cute.

"Mianmian is really good, then we will buy it and give it to my brother by hand, okay?" Mrs. Mu was very pleased, her own children were so friendly, and she knew that the children of big families were most afraid of quick success and quick profit from an early age, but they would lose their innocence.

"Well, thank you, mother."

"Bang! Bang la blah. There was a loud thud, accompanied by the crunch of something falling to the ground.

"Hmph, I actually said that Miss Ben is not worthy of this step Yao, do you know who Miss Ben is?" A young, high-pitched, gunpowder-filled female voice came.

"Sister Jin, don't be angry, she just doesn't know that you are from a noble background. I'm sorry, I can't compensate for my cousin, we will pay for the loss in the store. Another gentle girl's voice came again.

Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan looked up.

A seven or eight-year-old girl angrily scolded the young man in the store, the girl had delicate facial features, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and a charming style at a young age. The little girl was dressed in a scarlet dress and looked domineering, but she wore two golden collars around her neck and a gold bracelet on her hands. A young man next to him was a little trembling because of fear, and there was a sandalwood tray for jewelry and a few golden Buyao scattered on the ground, which made the scene even more aggressive.

Next to her, a slightly older girl about ten years old, wearing a white gauze dress and not having too many accessories on her body, was pulling the girl in scarlet clothes, constantly dissuading and apologizing. The girl looks ordinary, but she is just a middle-class asset. However, the soft and soft voice and thoughtful actions are also the style of everyone's ladies, and there is a sense of fluttering like a fairy.

There was a lot of talk behind him.

"Whose child is it, so arrogant at such a young age."

"I don't know, I see a lot of family members behind me, maybe it's the daughter of which family."

"I know, those two are the young ladies of the Taishou Mansion."

"That's right, the one in white is the eldest lady of the Taishou Mansion, and the one in red may be Miss Biao, I heard that there have been several troubles recently."

"It's a shame to be so uneducated at such a young age."

"Miss Taishou is not bad, but it's a pity that her reputation has been affected."

……

Mu Qingwan is not really a little girl who is not familiar with the world, looking at the dispute not far ahead, an unknown meaning flashed in her eyes. The girl in red is afraid that she has been raised crookedly, and the door is big, and it is not uncommon for pickles to be underneath, and it is a common means to kill such things. The behavior of the girl in white is worth playing, clearly dissuaded, a basin of dirty water poured on the girl in red, this white dress fluttering, properly dressed as a white lotus, I really lived for a long time, I actually saw the real white lotus, or a poisonous lotus.
