A few days later, it was April 13, Lu Jiayue's birthday.

Mrs. Qu had already sent someone to the small kitchen to spread the word, so that two tables of banquets could be prepared, and Lu Jiayue was celebrated lively.

In the embroidery room, two sets of new clothes were specially cut out and sent to Chuntangju early in the morning.

Lu Jiayue put on a new dress, made up a little makeup, and went to the upper room of Mrs. Qu to say hello.

Mrs. Qu was already sitting and waiting in the flower hall where the banquet was set up, all the ladies were there, even Ding Yu came, but none of the people in the second and third rooms came.

Lu Jiayue didn't care, and even wished that they wouldn't come, and it would be better if they didn't see it.

Laughing for a long time, I received many gifts.

Before the banquet, Duan sent Yuping to send a peach-colored poplin, saying that it was a congratulatory gift for Lu Jiayue.

Everyone in the Qu Mansion knew that Lu Jiayue didn't like to wear red, not to mention how cheesy pink was, Duan's move was clearly deliberately blocking Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue was not annoyed, and called Xin Zhu to accept the peach-colored poplin, and rewarded the jade screen according to the rules.

Yuping's heart was transparent, and he didn't say anything, so he took the reward and went.

Immediately afterwards, the third lady Huang came with the second young grandmother Hu.

also sent a congratulatory gift, Lu Jiayue thanked him and accepted it.

At one moment, everyone talked and laughed, but it was also lively.

In her previous life, Lu Jiayue had never had such a grand birthday, but it was just a small gathering for her by the people in the long house, and now everyone specially celebrated her birthday for a child, which moved her heart, and couldn't help but give birth to many sighs.

Especially Mrs. Qu, she loves her so much, she really doesn't know what to repay.

Only by doing his best to change the fate of the Qu family in his previous life can he be regarded as repaying.

After the banquet, the maids and servants cleaned everything up, put tea and cakes again, all kinds of seasonal fruits, and the ladies drank tea and gossiped at will.

Ding Yu and Lu Jiayue were still crowded together, eating fresh peaches, Ding Yu suddenly pulled Lu Jiayue's sleeve, pouted into the corner next to him, and said with a smile: "Guess what the third aunt is talking to her grandmother?" ”

Lu Jiayue turned her head to look over, and through the dense pearl curtain, she saw the third lady Huang sitting beside Mrs. Qu, and she didn't know what to say to Mrs. Qu, but Mrs. Qu's face was very bad.

Aunt Meng's expression on the side was even more impatient.

Lu Jiayue didn't care, and said casually: "What is Xu talking about?" ”

After a while, Huang stood up, came out to call Hu, and the two left together.

Lu Jiayue saw that Huang seemed to be angry on his face, and thought that Huang had always been straightforward and informal, and there must be a reason for such a look at this time.

So he went into the room.

Ding Yu also followed behind.

Old Madam Qu and Meng Shi were opposite, and they also looked weird.

Lu Jiayue became more and more puzzled, and was about to open her mouth to ask, but Meng Shi had already taken her hand and sat down beside her, and asked her in a low voice: "Yue girl, when have you seen Qian Yatou and her cousin from Taiyuan Mansion?" ”

Lu Jiayue didn't know why Meng suddenly asked about this, so she said the truth: "It's just that I accidentally met twice in the inner courtyard." ”

When Mrs. Qu heard this, she snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "He has a good eye, and he looks at our moon girl at a glance, but he doesn't care what he is--- thinking that he has a lot of money, so he can use silver money to suppress people?" Bastard Lamb! I know that there can't be a good person in the merchant's house! Looking at us, we don't know his details? For those who have not yet married a wife, there are one or twenty concubines in the house! I often sleep outside the flowers and willows, and I am a hungry ghost in life! ”

In this way, it shouldn't have been said in front of Lu Jiayue and Ding Yu, the two boudoir girls, but Old Madam Qu was also so angry and confused for a while, so she said it regardless of it.

Only then did Lu Jiayue understand that Mrs. Qu was scolding the nephew of the third lady Huang, the bold fanatic Huang Sicong who was slapped by her.

I also heard Mrs. Qu mention her in her words, and said that Huang Sicong used money to oppress people, and he had an intuition in his heart that something bad must have happened, and it must have something to do with her.

Sure enough, Meng Shi sighed heavily and said to her: "That heartless thing, he dared to ask his aunt to deliver the message, saying that he was willing to take 200,000 taels of silver as a dowry and begged to marry you!" ”

When Lu Jiayue heard this, it was like a bundle of firecrackers, which exploded in her heart.

It seems that his own slap was too light?

The shameless prodigal son of the disciple is even more and more on his nose and face!

Lu Jiayue was extremely annoyed, and the more Mrs. Qu thought about it, the more angry she became, so she couldn't wait to immediately summon that Huang Sicong and scold.

was stopped by Meng Shi.

Old Madam Qu changed direction again, and ordered someone to call the third old man Qu You immediately.

Then let Lu Jiayue go out first, and said: "Don't worry, he is moving a mountain of gold, with me and your aunt here, he doesn't want to touch your fingers, as for marriage, he is even more daydreaming!" ”

Lu Jiayue knew that Mrs. Qu and her aunt Meng would never agree to Huang Sicong, so she didn't take Huang Sicong's marriage to heart, and turned around with Ding Yu.

But I was still angry in my heart.

Ding Yu felt that Huang Sicong was really ridiculous, so he said: "I often hear people say that toads want to eat swan meat, I don't know what it looks like, but now it can be regarded as an eye-opener." ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't hold back and smiled.

whispered about the things that were blocked by Huang Sicong that day.

When Ding Yu heard this, he was very angry, and he was gearing up to go to Huang Sicong to settle the account. But after thinking about it, if there is a fuss, Yu Lu Jiayue's reputation will also be hindered.

I had to swallow my anger for the time being.

Ding Yu was helpless and sighed: "I only complain that your face is too good, and it is easy to provoke right and wrong, I think ordinary men may not be able to protect you, and only a cold-faced Buddha like my second uncle can support you." ”

Ding Yu just sighed casually, but Lu Jiayue listened to it, but her face turned red.

There was a faint feeling in my heart.

But before I had time to savor what it was like, it was already fleeting.

After a while, the third old man Qu You came.

As soon as he entered the room, he was so defeated by Mrs. Qu that he couldn't lift his head.

Although Old Madam Qu deliberately lowered her voice, it was not difficult to see from her expression that she was really angry this time.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Qu You was released.

*

The third lady Huang sat on the soft kang in her room, with a gloomy look on her face, and opposite her nephew Huang Sicong, kneeling in front of her with half bent knees, with a smile on her face, she ran again, and went to Mrs. Qu and Meng Shi to talk about it for him.

Huang waved his hand again and again, and said, "I just came back with a gray nose, and you still let me go?" Do you think your aunt hasn't been rejected enough? ”

Huang Sicong grinned, "Who made my nephew fall in love with the sister of the Lu family?" Nephew doesn't want her... I also beg my aunt to fulfill it! ”

The Huang family hated that iron could not become steel, so he was so angry that he slapped the table and said loudly: "You can say that everyone has a good idea, that girl is the heart of the old lady and sister-in-law, don't say that your family is just a merchant's house, it is a marquis, they have to pick it!" According to me, you're still dead! What kind of immortals can't find with silver? She is a little yellow-haired girl, worth your 200,000 taels of silver? Even if you have money, you shouldn't squander it like that! ”
