Chapter Seventy-One: The Storm Rises

Those who received the invitations were all over the major wealthy families in the capital.

Guests came from all over the world, almost blocking the gate of the Guogong Mansion. All kinds of birthday gifts, whether hand-held or foal-hunched, were also sent into the lobby.

There are five people who are specifically responsible for the registration of birthday gifts, and there are no less than 20 people who help organize them.

Although there are many people, everything is in order.

The old duchess has a good face, and this birthday banquet naturally invited people from the entire capital scholar circle to celebrate her, so that she felt that she could highlight her noble status.

Zhou Jinxuan, Zhou Bin, and Zhou Yuan also put down the affairs of the government and came to receive guests.

Lin Yu, Sun and Feng Sanniang entertained guests inside.

Zhou Zheng took a few slaves and maids, followed behind Lin Yu, and whenever a distinguished guest came, he nodded politely and was generous.

Unlike Zhou Yunluo and Zhou Feifei, they only know how to talk with the noble girls in the guests and are busy making friends.

"Yunluo, is that your lobby sister Zhou Zhengzheng?" Du Shaoqing's daughter Du Lingling asked Zhou Yunluo, "It's really elegant and demure, it's not at all the same as the legendary brutality." ”

"Yes." Zhou Yunluo obviously didn't like Du Lingling to turn everyone's attention to Zhou Zheng, "Sister Lingling, is your jade bracelet new?" This style is popular in Beijing this year! I was just trying to ask my mother to give me a match. ”

Du Lingling was a little uneasy, and hurriedly pushed the bracelet into his sleeve, "What's the matter, this bracelet is a birthday gift from my father, but it's just an ordinary style." ”

Du Lingling's father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Du Lingling is usually the most cautious and low-key, and he is never willing to wear anything too luxurious, so as not to be said.

You must know that in the past few years, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has changed several terms, and each term is very miserable after stepping down, and the reason for each resignation is because of greed for ink.

It's just that this bracelet was a birthday gift from Du Lingling's father, and Du Lingling was reluctant to hide it, so he wore it on his hand.

Who knows, Zhou Yunluo didn't know what to do, which pot was not opened.

Zhou Yunluo was not very clear about the affairs of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, she thought that Du Lingling was modest, and even praised Du Lingling's bracelet.

Du Lingling's face was red, so she had to leave under the pretext of leaving and went around to her father Du Yunli.

Du Yunli was greeting a few adults, and the more Du Lingling looked at Zhou Zheng, the more he liked it, and he wanted to make friends with Zhou Zhengzheng.

Du Lingling likes to make friends based on identity, especially Zhou Zheng, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wu's mansion, this identity is much higher than Zhou Yunluo, Du Lingling has long wanted to know Zhou Zhengzheng through Zhou Yunluo.

"Father, can you introduce that Miss Zhou Zheng to your daughter?" Du Lingling saluted Du Yunli and said.

Du Yunli said: "Are you talking about Wu Guogong's daughter? Daddy just wants to take you to meet Wu Guogong. ”

So, Du Lingling met Zhou Zhengzheng through Zhou Jinxuan.

Zhou Zhengzheng is no stranger to Du Lingling.

In her previous life, although Du Lingling was like other noble girls, she made friends based on her identity, but because of her father, Du Lingling was the only noble girl among Zhou Yunluo's friends who did not fall into the trap for her, so Zhou Zhengzheng did not have a special hatred for Du Lingling.

Since Du Lingling took the initiative to befriend her, Zhou Zhengzheng would not refuse, and chatted with Du Lingling about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Ah Zheng, I will definitely come to the house another day to learn from you." Du Lingling is a talented girl, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all above Zhou Zheng, if she is not so powerful, Zhou Zhengzheng also likes her talent.

It's just that such a talented woman, in her previous life, because of her father's reasons, finally proposed by Lin Feng, Emperor Qingfeng gave her a marriage to a gentleman, and she couldn't be with the man she wanted, but it was Zhou Yunluo who made a hindrance.

Speaking of which, none of the noble girls who helped Zhou Yunluo deal with Zhou Zheng in her previous life died well.

Zhou Yunluo called them friends on the surface, and after using them, he turned his face and was ruthless, Du Lingling was relatively smart, and he didn't have a deep friendship with Zhou Yunluo, so he walked between Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yunluo, and no one was close.

"Sister Du is willing to come, Ah Zheng is really looking forward to it." Zhou Zhengzheng smiled indifferently.

By this time, the guests had almost arrived. Zhou Zheng and Lin Zheng glanced at each other, Zhou Zhengzheng returned to Lin Yu's room, called a few grandmothers, carried the incense burner, and knelt down in front of the old Duchess in the eyes of everyone, "Ask grandmother to be the master of my father!" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhou Zheng in unison!

The old Duchess of the country broke out in a cold sweat, this Zhou Zhengzheng, kneeling down to her in front of so many people, what did she want to do?

I knew that I would have people lock her up with chains and not let her come out!

"Big girl, today is the old lady's special day, can you wait for your birthday if you have anything?" Mama Yu observed her words and looked at her expressions, and smiled to help Zhou Zheng up her zither.

Zhou Zheng couldn't get up, his eyes were red, and he choked up with his voice, "The incense burner that the second uncle and second aunt gave to my father and mother turned out to be poisonous!" My mother has been having nightmares recently, and she is weak and weak, and after investigation, she was harmed by this incense burner! Today, in front of everyone, I implore my grandmother to treat my father and my second uncle and aunt fairly, and give my father and mother justice! ”

As soon as the words fell, the old Duchess coughed angrily.

What does it mean to "implore my grandmother to treat me fairly", isn't this implying that she is partial to the second room, forcing Zhou Zheng to solve this matter in public today?

The old duchess said to Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, how did you teach your daughter?" Go and call Zhou Jinxuan. I'm old, and my grandchildren don't seem to want to listen to an old woman like me. ”

Lin Yu pretended to be dizzy, "I also ask my mother to forgive me, my daughter-in-law is so weak today that she doesn't take good care of the children." It's just that what Ah Zheng said, every sentence is true, and I asked my mother to check it clearly. This just verifies what Zhou Zhengzheng said, "The incense burner has caused Lin Yu to be weak and weak."

Everyone began to discuss, although this is a family affair of the Wu Guogong Mansion, but who doesn't like to watch the excitement?

Besides, there are still many people in the court who want to see something ugly happen to the Duke of Wu's mansion.

This week, Zheng Zheng said this, and even Lin Yu said this, so it can be seen that this second room is indeed a bit of a problem.

The old Duchess's face became more and more ugly.

Mama Yu glanced at the old Duchess of the country, and said to Zhou Zhengzheng with her ear: "Big girl, you are usually a smart person, on such an occasion, it is not just the face of the second room that falls, this is the entire Wu Guogong Mansion with no face." Your father is Wu Guogong. ”

Zhou Zheng heard it even louder, "If my grandmother doesn't make the decision for my father, Ah Zheng won't be able to kneel today!" If Dad comes, Ah Zheng will hit the pillar headlong and die with his will! ”
