A few days later, it was February 16, Mrs. Qu's birthday.

Because it was not a whole life, there was no extravagance, but according to the meaning of Mrs. Qu, she invited a few old families who were close to the Qu family in Su Rili to join in the fun.

Then he only sent a post to the wife of Liang Shaokuan, the imperial history of the capital, and invited her to come over for a gathering.

When she got up in the morning, Lu Jiayue was about to rush to the room and was washing, Juxiang took her clothes and came over to change them, but a piece of silk fell out of the clothes.

Juxiang picked it up, and saw that the silk handkerchief was not used by Lu Jiayue on weekdays, so she searched through the handkerchief that Lu Jiayue often used again, and found that a moon-white silk handkerchief was missing.

Juxiang felt strange in her heart, and took the silk handkerchief to ask Lu Jiayue.

"Miss Cousin, this handkerchief doesn't look like yours, isn't it that the mothers-in-law below made a mistake when they were washing, and mixed up the handkerchiefs of others?"

Lu Jiayue glanced at Juxiang's hand.

It is a silver-gray silk handkerchief, slightly larger than the silk handkerchief used by women, and it is embroidered with landscape cloud patterns.

Only then did she remember that it was on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, Ding Can lent her to wipe her tears. When she returned, she changed her clothes, and gave it to the maids along with the silk handkerchief to take out and wash.

Juxiang asked again: "Why is the original moon-white veil embroidered with begonia flowers missing?" ”

Lu Jiayue naturally couldn't tell the truth, she only said that she lost it in the Yang Mansion and didn't find it.

Juxiang was not at ease, "The handkerchief is a personal thing, but don't be picked up by those who have unclean eyes, you don't have to cause trouble." ”

"It's just a handkerchief, and I didn't write a name, so if I lost it, I lost it." Lu Jiayue didn't care.

"Then this handkerchief..."Juxiang looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand, not knowing what to do with it.

Because this silk handkerchief seems to be used by men, she is a maid, she does not dare to ask more, nor does she dare to make decisions on her own.

"Give it to me." Lu Jiayue folded the silk handkerchief and tucked it in her sleeve.

She was thinking that today was Mrs. Qu's birthday, and when she saw Qu Song at the birthday banquet for a while, she would not have quietly handed over the silk handkerchief to Qu Song and asked him to return it to Ding Can.

She is a girl's house, and she has a man's silk handkerchief by her side, which is inappropriate. It seems a pity to throw it away like this.

It's better to return it to the original owner, which is the most appropriate.

Qu Ying's wind chill has improved a lot, Lu Jiayue entered the banquet room in the upper room, and saw that Qu Ying was already by the side of Mrs. Qu.

After sitting for a while, the ladies of the Qu family also came one after another.

The ladies accompanied Mrs. Qu and ate silver silk longevity noodles together in the flower hall of the upper room.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, most of the ladies have changed their jackets and put on slightly thinner silk or velvet clothes. Mrs. Qu is also rare to wear more festive than usual, the iron embroidered red crane sent Zhi clip silk jacket, a handful of gray hair combed to the slightest, and a few gold and jade hairpin ornaments were worn in the hair, looking like a rich and prosperous, long-lived old lady.

Several old female guests also came, and there were too many people to sit in the flower hall, so they all moved to Shuying Xuan.

Shuyingxuan is between the front yard and the inner courtyard between the two gates, close to the dark fragrance garden, there are five large rooms in the room, it is very spacious, and a few bushes of green bamboo are planted in the courtyard, a few plantains, it is a quiet and spacious place.

The room has long been cleaned up, separated by a six-leaf red sandalwood embroidered screen, and the male and female guests sit on one side.

Mrs. Liang and Liang Wan had already arrived, and at this time, Liang Wan was holding hands with Qu Ying and talking affectionately in one place.

Mrs. Qu asked Liang Wan: "What about your brother--- should let him also eat a bowl of longevity noodles." ”

Liang Wan said with a smile: "Old Madam Xie is tied, my brother went to the academy this morning, saying that he would come back in the evening to pay homage to the old lady." ”

Old Madam Qu nodded with a smile.

Several old masters and young masters of the Qu family were not at home, only the third master Qu You and the second young master Qu Huai entertained the male guests on the side of the screen.

Qu Song would not be able to return from the cabinet courtyard until evening.

Lu Jiayue quietly tucked the silk handkerchief in the cuffs.

*

Qu Ying has Liang Wan as a companion, Qu Qian is still inseparable from Duan Wenxin, and Mrs. Qu also has a number of female guests to accompany her to talk, leaving Lu Jiayue alone, just when she was bored, Qu Yi came with Ding Rui and Ding Yu.

Lu Jiayue glanced at Ding Rui.

Unexpectedly, Ding Rui was also looking at her, the two looked at each other, Ding Rui's face turned red and lowered his head.

Lu Jiayue was angry in her heart and snorted.

This man made of stone even knows that his face is blushing today?

But even if you want to blush, you should go to that Xia girl, but don't look at her again, let people see it, and I don't know what ugly words to say.

Ding Yu saluted with Mrs. Qu and others, and sat down beside Lu Jiayue.

"What's the matter, your face is not good---" Ding Yu said with a smile.

Lu Jiayue and Ding Yu were close, and couldn't help laughing again, and said, "Why didn't you come earlier, I'm bored by myself." ”

Ding Yu took a piece of rhombus frosting candy cake to the plate on the table next to him and ate it, and said with a smile: "If you move to my house to live with me, my brother and I can accompany you, and you won't be bored if you keep it, okay?" ”

Lu Jiayue heard her laughing again, and the smile on her face froze, and said, "Don't talk to me about these words again... It's too late for me to avoid suspicion. ”

Ding Yu was puzzled: "What suspicion to avoid?" ”

Lu Jiayue looked at Ding Yu's appearance, and didn't seem to know about the matter between Ding Rui and the Naxia girl, so she smiled and said: "Your brother has a sweetheart, but you don't know that you are a sister?" ”

Ding Yu laughed, "My brother's stuffy temperament, can he have a sweetheart?" I'm afraid he doesn't even know how to write the three words of his sweetheart. ”

"Who is Miss Xia?" Lu Jiayue looked at Ding Yu and smiled.

Ding Yu suddenly, "--- Xia Yunxi?" Her father used to receive errands under my father, and I had little to do with her, but I met them in the market on that day, and we just enjoyed the lanterns together. ”

Lu Jiayue nodded, but didn't speak, only smiled at Ding Yu.

Ding Yu was also embarrassed to get up, thinking about the situation that night, it seemed that her brother did take care of Xia Yunxi very much...

Could it be that he really thought about Xia Yunxi?

Ding Yu didn't dare to admit it, and he didn't want to admit it, so he hesitated: "Maybe my brother just pities her for being too weak, don't you know what she looks like... The book says that the weak willow supports the wind, and I see that she is three points weaker than the willow. ”

Lu Jiayue snorted and said with a smile: "It's useless for the two of us to guess here, why don't you ask your brother." ”

Ding Yu pursed his lips and looked reluctant, "I don't ask, the person who is left and right for my mother is not Xia Yunxi, no matter what my brother does, he has to listen to his mother's arrangement... Besides, the way Xia Yun cherishes Nana, I can't get used to it anyway. ”

At this time, Ding Rui had already gone to the screen, Qu Yicai talked to Mrs. Qu for a while, and then walked towards Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Qu Yi took two steps up and grabbed Lu Jiayue's hand, and his expression was more affectionate than when they met in the past.

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but cry out in her heart.

I was about to get rid of Ding Rui, but this aunt's wife became more affectionate to herself, so that others could see it, didn't she still think she was going to marry Ding Rui?

But fortunately, Qu Yi only said a few homely words to Lu Jiayue, and then got up to accompany the female guests to catch up.

Ding Yu squeezed his eyes at Lu Jiayue and said with a smile: "You see how much my mother likes you--- why don't you settle this marriage with my brother." ”

Lu Jiayue frowned and looked at Ding Yu: "Don't say that your brother already has a sweetheart, even if he doesn't, it's impossible for me to be with him." ”
