Mu Yunge sneered and said that, then shut up and didn't talk about Lu Lingxuan. Chen Shuhan chuckled in his heart, he didn't know where he thought of it, his face turned pale, and he grabbed her arm: "Shuhan's temperament is ironclad and will not agree to marry Wei Yunyi as a concubine, if she annoys Master Lu, will she ...... Will it be ......"

"Don't think about it." Mu Yunge pinched her cold hand bones and rubbed them: "Believe me, Ling Xuan will be fine!" ”

Chen Shuhan shook his head with tears in his eyes: "Ling Xuan has a hard temper, something must have happened." ”

She felt terrible when she thought about it, so she didn't start, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Seeing her like this, Mu Yunge had no choice but to say, "Shuhan, don't worry, I'll find a way to see her tonight." But you also know Ling Xuan's temperament, the matter has come to this point, I'm afraid that she won't listen to what I say. Actually, I'm not worried about anything, what I'm most worried about is that the Lu family threatens her with Mrs. Lu's life, she is the most filial, not to mention being a concubine for the third prince of Wei, even if she marries more embarrassingly, she is also willing. ”

Chen Shuhan was silent, thinking about it, he could only sigh: "Also, we are not the Lu family after all, we can't protect her, we can only resign ourselves to fate." ”

While the two were talking, the bell of the banquet rang, and Chen Shuhan's girl quickly helped her tidy up her appearance and put on makeup again, and the two returned to the banquet hall.

Chen Shuhan returned to Mrs. Chen's side, with a soft smile on his face, blessed the guests, and sat down in his seat. Mu Yunge returned to Xiao's side and quietly nodded to Chen Shuhan from a distance. When her gaze was withdrawn, she inadvertently met Wei Shi's eyes, and the latter raised his glass lightly, saluting her from afar, and the smile on his face was very gloating.

Mrs. Chen is a first-class lady, and An Bohou's career is in full swing, although it is a small banquet, the guests are full of guests, but they are not lost to the last birthday banquet of the Chen family.

Many distinguished guests of the Hou Mansion came from the capital at this banquet, including many acquaintances of the Xiao family back then, Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and introduced Mu Yunge in a low voice: "The first on Mrs. Chen's left hand is the wife of Li Congde, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Mo Shi, her three sons are now famous, and they are good with Mrs. Chen, and they are very important to the Hou Mansion; Look at the third one on the right, that is the granddaughter of Taifu Weiru is family, Wei Taifu is getting older, his only son went early, this time Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet was useless, so she had to send her granddaughter here. His granddaughter is now sixteen years old, and after listening to Mrs. Chen's meaning, she wanted to marry Chen Shuyi, the son of the Chen family, but she didn't know if she had succeeded. ”

"The lady who pulled her mother to talk when she entered the door just now is the second one to the left of Mrs. Chen." Mu Yunge asked with a smile: "Is it my mother's best friend when she was young?" ”

Xiao took her hand dotingly and said with a smile: "Yun Ge is really smart. That is the wife of the Fuyuan general Xie Lin, who grew up with her mother since childhood. ”

As the two were talking, Mrs. Chen had already stood up to say goodbye, and the whole audience raised their glasses in congratulations, and the two quickly stopped talking.

After three cups, the feast is much more casual.

"Mrs. Chen's birthday today should be a year older, but when I look at Mrs. Chen, she is really getting more and more energetic and younger every year!" It was Mo Shi who spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled as she spoke, her eyes fell on a set of hair accessories on Mrs. Chen's head, and she sighed enviously: "Especially Mrs. Chen's hair ornaments are very exquisite, and it makes Mrs. Chen as delicate as a flower, I feel sorry for it!" ”

Mrs. Chen was praised by her, so she looked at Wei Shi with a smile: "This is a gift from King Yu, and I also think it is very beautiful." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and stroked her hair ornament unconsciously.

Somehow, the mutation happened at this time, and Mrs. Chen reached out to touch the tourmaline hairpin, which seemed to be not strong, fell out of her hair, fell to the ground and shattered into two.

Everyone in the hall stared at the hairpin, their expressions were a little confused, and at the same time they looked at Mrs. Chen with sympathy.

At today's birthday banquet, the hosta broke for no reason, which is a bad omen.

Mrs. Chen was a little shocked, she didn't expect such a situation at all, Chen Shuhan's face turned pale suddenly, and she hurriedly reached out to pick it up, so that Mrs. Chen suppressed it, so she had to stretch out her hand back.

Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, everyone in the Amber Hou Mansion was in good health, only her daughter was weak and sickly, and her hairpin broke for no reason, if it was really an unlucky omen, most of it was to be fulfilled on her daughter, how could she be willing to let her daughter pick up this bad luck with her own hands, and suffer innocently? Just as he was hesitating, Mu Yunge had already moved the lotus step lightly, stepped forward in two steps, picked up the hairpin and held it in his hand, and smiled casually: "Mrs. Chen is really lucky, Yunge is here to congratulate Madame!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" When Mrs. Chen saw her pick up the hairpin, she did not shy away from it, and she did not care whether she would suffer or not, and her heart was slightly warm and quite moved.

Mu Yunge smiled softly: "Yunge heard that everything that has spirituality will know the master's calamity, and go through the danger to protect the master's safety. Today is Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet, this hairpin is from Mrs. Chen's head, naturally stained with Mrs. Chen's anger, and suddenly broken, most likely for Mrs. Chen to eliminate disasters. Now that the lady has saved the day, isn't it worth congratulating? ”

Mrs. Chen's words turned from worry to joy, and she asked repeatedly: "Really? ”

"Yun Ge doesn't read much, I heard that His Royal Highness King Chen and His Royal Highness King Yu are both famous talents in Beijing, is there such a saying, the two princes must know more than Yun Ge, and they know it in detail!" Mu Yunge smiled but did not answer, and turned to Wei Shanzhi and Wei Shifu to bless him.

Wei Shi nodded with a smile, and Wei Shanzhi said: "There is indeed such a statement. ”

Most of the people in the hall didn't know this statement, and they all looked at Wei Shanzhi.

Wei Shanzhi said with a smile: "A thousand years ago, a general in the Western Zhou Dynasty inadvertently saved an old man, and the old man repaid him with a portable jade pendant and instructed him to carry it very closely. Soon, the war broke out, and the general was ordered to go on an expedition, attacking the city all the way, invincible, and not hurt at all. When the general returned home, he found that the jade pendant he was carrying with him was already stained with blood and cracks. The general's wife was uneasy, and she found someone to calculate that the old man who gave the general jade pendant had died, turned into a soul and lived in the jade, and had protected the general on the battlefield with her own strength, so that the general was safe and sound. The general's wife was very shaken, and set up the old man's spiritual position to make offerings, and the cracks on the jade pendant slowly healed, and they did not break until the general died. Since then, the theory that jade can ward off disasters has spread. ”

Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, her face turned bloody, and everyone in the hall also said congratulations one after another, and the solemn atmosphere just now turned into a festive one.

Mu Yunge gently rested the hairpin on the table in front of Mrs. Chen, smiled slightly, and returned to his seat elegantly.

Mrs. Chen had her to relieve the siege, needless to say, her good feelings, but these were hidden in her heart, and she said with a smile on her face: "I see, but I am lonely and unheard, and I have added some troubles in vain." ”

"Mrs. Chen's jade is so spiritual, I heard that it was given by His Royal Highness King Yu, but I don't know where I bought it?" Mo Shi held the handkerchief, his eyes were not only envious, he was almost staring at her fiercely: "My family Yu is often walking around, what do I want to prepare for him!" ”

Everyone in the hall was thinking about it, and they all looked at Wei Shi.

"This jade does have spirituality, I heard that it is a new product that Qiu Ji has just shipped from Yunnan." Wei Shi shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, and he was at ease: "Listen to the shopkeeper, there are dozens of pieces harvested in the same batch with this jade, all of which are first-class good things, and I don't know if there are any more!" ”

"Good jade is hard to find." Mo Shi smiled: "I'm going to take a look later, but are you willing to go with me?" ”

Several ladies from Beijing said with a smile: "It's okay to be idle, let's be together." ”

No one saw that Mu Yunge's smiling gaze intersected with Wei Shi, three points of success and seven points of cunning.

The episode of this banquet passed quickly, and the guests were happy, and it was already dusk in the midst of the staggering. The guests gradually dispersed, Xiao Shi and Mu Yunge walked at the end, and when they were about to get into the carriage, they suddenly heard someone behind them shouting: "Mrs. Mu, Miss Mu, please wait a moment." ”

The mother and daughter turned around, but it was the girl next to Mrs. Chen who stopped them.

Seeing that the two of them stopped, the girl walked a few steps to Mu Yunge's side, held a mahogany box in both hands, handed it to Mu Yunge, and said with a sincere smile on her face: "Thanks to the alertness of Miss at today's banquet, it will not make the Chen Mansion dirty." This is a little bit of Madame's heart, and please don't shirk it! ”

Mu Yunge opened the box, and there was a whole box of exquisite snacks, which were not precious, but just attentive, and did not shirk, and after taking it, he thanked him: "Please thank Madame on my behalf, Yunge likes it very much." ”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, with a lot of approval in her eyes, and sent the two of them into the carriage before turning around and going back to the house to reply.

Mrs. Chen listened to her detailed description of Mu Yunge's reaction at that time, and smiled, very satisfied: "Yunge, this child is really a good person, and he deserves to be the person I fancied. ”

"Madame, I mean to ......," the girl asked tentatively.

Mrs. Chen was in a happy mood and nodded: "Let's take a look again, the old man fell in love with Miss Sun of the Taifu family, but I think Yun Ge is really good." Shuyi, the child's mother, went early, although he is not close to me, but his lifelong events cannot but be taken to heart. By the way, count the days, Shuyi wrote last time that he would come back in May, and there are not a few days left. When the time comes, let's think of a way to let the two children meet! ”

Mu Yunge naturally didn't know about these things.

Back in Mufu, Xiao looked tired, and Yushan helped her to rest. Mu Yunge was in good spirits, and Pei Xin accompanied her to take a walk in the house to eat.

The dim sum sent by Mrs. Chen was carried by Pei Xin, she endured it all the way, and finally waited until the two of them were alone, and then pouted and said with some concern: "Miss, the Hou Mansion of An Bo is the Hou Mansion, why are you so stingy when you send something?" ”

"You know what?" Mu Yunge said lightly: "It is precisely because the Hou Mansion of Amber is the Hou Mansion that you can't send valuable things casually. Dad has just been elected as the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, although he is not a big official, he is also a four-grade official, and now the battle for the heir is becoming more and more fierce, and An Bohou is a dignitary in the court, how can his every move not make people figure it out? This gift is given heavily, which will inevitably make people think that it is enveloping our Mu family; Isn't it a dilemma to give it lightly and not to be grateful? This dim sum is made by the most famous jade building in the capital, a box is already expensive, I am a girl, young people are good mouthful, and it is the most suitable for use as a thank-you gift. ”
