Chapter 188: Old Madam Huang's Birthday Banquet

"It's true that Miss is Mo Jinxi, but that was in the past." Danyu stuck to her point of view.

"Now that you and General Murong have been married, you are General Murong's person, and you represent more than just yourself."

Danyu's personality was originally very cheerful, but he was sad for a while because of Yu's death, and now although he has not been in Ruoli Xuan for a long time, he was quickly infected by the peaceful atmosphere here, not as restrained as before, and spoke casually.

Mo Li walked to the bronze mirror and looked at the people in the mirror, dressed in a pale cyan dress, a moon-white cloak, a bun that couldn't be simpler, and only a plain hosta was inserted on his head.

Although it is a little simpler, it looks fresh and elegant, it is the style she has always liked, if she is allowed to wear gold and silver, with a head full of pearls and jade, she doesn't know how to walk, okay?

"Miss, are you a little more angry, do you want to change your clothes?" Ruoping asked softly as he stood beside her.

"Forget it, I'm not going out today." Mo Li took off her cloak, simply sat back on the soft couch, and took a book and read it.

"Miss, did I say the wrong thing?" Danyu saw that Mo Li had changed his mind, and asked with some trepidation.

"No, I just don't want to go out, I don't want to be stared at as soon as I go out." Mo Li glanced at Danyu and Ruoping, "You two are busy, I'll read the book." ”

Ruoping pulled Danyu out of the door and whispered: "Miss doesn't blame you, she is such a personality, she doesn't like to be in the limelight, and she doesn't like to be talked about." ”

Mo Li rarely doesn't go out of the door, and wants to hide at home for a few days, and then go out after the limelight has passed.

But there is always a big gap between the reality and the ideal, and from this afternoon onwards, there have been congratulatory gifts who have been coming to the door.

In the past, when Yu was still there, he would often take Duan to attend some entertainment, since Mo Shilang died, Yu was sick, he rarely went out, and occasionally some necessary exchanges between relatives and friends were also dealt with by Duan.

After a long time, the court has been snubbed a lot, and now as soon as the news that Mo Li is going to marry Murong Chu comes out, the Mo family is lively again.

It is the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty to send congratulatory gifts, and there is no reason not to accept them, Duan's family is busy receiving a batch of guests, but in three or four days, he has received dozens of congratulatory gifts and more than ten invitations.

Mo Jinxi had just arrived before leaving the capital, and she didn't have any movement with the provinces, and she didn't usually go out much, so the invitations were basically to invite Mrs. Mo and Miss Mo's aunt and sister-in-law to go along.

These invitations have all kinds of names, birthday banquets, flower appreciation, mountain climbing, lake tours, piano listening, and theater watching...... There are all kinds of things, Mo Li really can't figure it out, it's already winter, what flowers to enjoy, what lakes to swim in, and I'm not afraid of freezing.

She didn't know the situation in the various prefectures in the capital, and she didn't know the people who wrote on the invitations and gift lists.

Fortunately, Danyu used to go out with the Yu family, Ruoping had been running errands outside before, and he also had a certain understanding of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Mo Li knew that not all invitations could be refused, and if she married Murong Chu, she had to step into the noble circle of the capital, even if she was unwilling, she had to participate in some entertainment.

After discussing with Duan's family, I picked a few that I couldn't refuse and sent them back.

The first thing to attend was the birthday banquet of Mrs. Huang, the mother of the Imperial Historian Huang. Lord Huang is in his forties, although he has not entered the cabinet, but the Yushitai is a supervisory body, responsible for picketing, impeachment, and discipline, as its highest official, his identity is still very feared.

Mo Jinhua is now the right man of Yushitai, and Lord Huang is his immediate boss, so he naturally has to participate in this birthday banquet.

When he, Mo Li, and Duan's three arrived at the Huang Mansion with their servants, the gate of the mansion was already full of guests.

After entering the Huang Mansion, someone led Mo Jinhua to the front hall, and Mo Li and the Duan family naturally wanted to go to the place where the ladies of the back house rested.

Walking all the way, among the covered bridges and pavilions, you can see the ladies dressed up in twos and threes.

The two were first led to a warm pavilion in the back garden, it was early winter, the weather was already a little cold, and a carbon basin was placed in the warm pavilion, but it was warm.

Before entering the warm pavilion, the subordinates had already reported that a woman in her thirties had already greeted her outside: "Mrs. Mo, the old lady just talked about you, and you came." ”

Duan greeted with a slight smile, and said to Mo Li, "Xi'er, hurry up and greet Mrs. Huang." ”

Mo Li blessed the body: "Mrs. Huang is good." ”

"Yo, this is Jinxi, so handsome." Mrs. Huang warmly pulled Mo Li's and beckoned to the Duan family, "Let's go, let's pay homage to the old lady first." ”

Inside, several middle-aged women sat and talked with three old ladies in their arms, and several young girls around them.

Mrs. Huang said with a smile on her face: "Old lady, Mrs. Mo and Miss Mo are here." ”

Duan led Mo Li forward to salute, and introduced the other two old ladies, sitting on top of Mrs. Huang was the eldest princess, the emperor's sister, and below was Mrs. Huang's sister, Mrs. Sun of the Marquis of Qingyuan.

The eldest princess's face has always been stiff, and there is an aura of rejection from thousands of miles away on Zhou's body.

In contrast, Mrs. Huang's sisters are better, especially Mrs. Sun of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, who has always had a kind smile in the corner of her eyes.

On the way here, Duan told her that when Old Man Huang was still in the boudoir, he had been the eldest princess's companion, and the two had a deep friendship.

It is said that when Mrs. Huang was alive, she was a second-class member of the court, but unfortunately she died early, and if she was still alive now, I am afraid that she would have entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

The three old ladies looked at her since Mo Li came in, and after seeing the salute, Old Madam Huang beckoned: "Come over and let us take a closer look." ”

Mo Li stepped forward, blessed his body again, and stood with his eyes down. I felt a scrutinizing gaze scan from head to toe.

"What do you think?" Old Madam Huang's voice came, and it sounded as if she was asking the eldest princess who was sitting on her head.

For a long time, I only heard the eldest princess say "um" out of nowhere. The grandmother behind her came over and handed a delicate brocade box to Mo Li: "This is the eldest princess's reward." ”

"Thank you, eldest princess, for the reward." When Mo Li was about to bow down again to thank her, the grandmother in front of her supported her and said, "The eldest princess doesn't like people kneeling around. ”

Mo Li blessed her body and looked at the eldest princess in the first place, but she met a sharp gaze, and she quickly lowered her head again.

She secretly thought in her heart: This eldest princess is really a contradiction, since she doesn't like to let people kneel, and she always has a shelf, she is not tired.

"Open it up and see what treasure the eldest princess has rewarded!" Old Madam Huang poked her head over and urged.

Mo Li raised his eyes and looked at the eldest princess, as if asking her opinion.
