Chapter 212: The Birthday Feast (II)
Chapter 212 Under the Birthday Feast
However, He Changan was very interested in such a person, and glanced at Lu Keyi with a smile: "What else did she say?"
"It's just those words that don't like it, which annoys my sister-in-law in vain, but I don't pay much attention to this matter when I see my sister-in-law, so I tell it as a joke, and my sister-in-law must not be angry with herself. ”
It turns out that Miss Mei's famous words are not only the sentence "The sky and clouds and shadows wander together", but the most uninhibited sentence, that is, He Chang'an is also the county lord, and I am also the county lord, why can he be the princess of Qin, but I can't even be a concubine of the king of Qin.
He Changan secretly thought in his heart, this means that Lu Cheng is not at home, if he hears such words, he is afraid that he will enter the palace to settle accounts with Mei Xi in anger.
However, she didn't take this woman very seriously, because in her opinion, Mei Xi was not a smart person, and even if such a person married home, there would be no harm.
Here, He Chang'an and Princess Wanyi's whispers are almost complete, and on which side, the old lady of Liang Guo pulled her two daughters to talk about private things. Duchess Liang Guo officially announced the start of the banquet, and first several children of Mrs. Liang Guogong congratulated their mother on her birthday.
The old lady gave birth to two sons and two daughters in her life, in addition to the second concubine, this time only this concubine was far away in the northwest, and she couldn't come back in time, so she brought gifts, and the other four people were all present. He Chang'an can always see his eldest uncle Geng Shi, but his second uncle Du Shi has not seen him for a long time, and he can't help but think of the days when he lived in the Liang Guogong Mansion before, if it wasn't for the Du family, how could Du Ruo have such an opportunity now to be a concubine in the Yuwang Mansion
However, He Changan only glanced at it, and felt that the age of the second aunt was obviously younger than that of the eldest aunt, but it looked even older than the eldest aunt.
Later, after a little inquiry, I also understood, because of Du Ruo's relationship, Du Shi is now a man with his tail between his legs, and he is not vertical or horizontal. After all, because of the relationship with Queen Rui Bai Qianyun, the Bai family is still more intimate to Lu Cheng, but Du Ruo is married to the eldest prince, although this future is earned by Du Ruo himself, and it should not have anything to do with the Duke of Liang. But before Du Ruo entered the palace, he stayed in the palace because he was a personal maid for Du's two daughters in the draft, which had to make people feel that the Liang Guogong Mansion was stepping on two boats.
Next is their life, Lu Keyi's natural status as a princess is the highest, and she is the first to pay a birthday to the old lady. Then came He Chang'an. The two sons born to Geng each took their daughters-in-law to kowtow to the old lady, and the old lady quickly asked the grandmother next to her to help the second young grandmother who was three months pregnant.
Then there are the two daughters born to Du. Geng's family did not give birth to a daughter, and there was a concubine in front of the second master who had already married, so these two daughters were the second and third ladies of the Liang Guogong Mansion, He Changan remembered that the second miss was not much younger than himself. Just seeing that she is still dressed as a girl, she knows that she has not yet married, and she is secretly surprised that something has happened, so she sent someone to inquire.
It turned out that it was not that Miss Bai Er did not have a family, the person who needed to be matched was Song Shangshu's youngest son, and the front was also decided, just after the old lady's 60th birthday banquet this year, she would get married. Now Xiao Ding has let it go, but she heard that the person she was going to marry fell into the water and died. Now Bai You has a reputation as a Kefu. Although she is the concubine of the Liang Guo Mansion, who dares to marry it
Bai You's eyes seemed to be a little red and swollen, thinking that because of this Kefu's reputation, she also cried during the day and at night. Thinking about it, how can an unmarried girl withstand such a blow? When the people in front of her have finished paying their birthday prayers, she slowly stood up and kowtowed again: "The granddaughter is an ominous person, and she does not dare to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, but she is unwilling to violate filial piety, so she can only hope that her grandmother can live a long life, and the ominous person of her granddaughter will retire first." ”
"Don't go, come, come to grandmother. The old lady looked at her granddaughter, who had a haggard face, and beckoned her to sit down beside her.
Bai You can be regarded as an old lady who brought it up, and now seeing that her grandmother is still so kind, she can't help but feel sad, tears flow down again, and she choked up: "Grandmother ......"
The old lady patted Bai You's head, just like treating a child: "I understand, even if the world says that my granddaughter is a Kefu's life, I think it's just that Song Duanyun's life is not blessed and not worthy of my granddaughter." You'er, now my grandmother has a family affair here, which is asking for you, and my grandmother just wants to tell you about it, see if you are willing to agree?"
Before the little girl could react, the old lady continued: "I just came with your second aunt's gift, which is the letter she asked for her eldest son, Brother Wang. Brother Wang, you should have seen the son you brought back the last time your second aunt came back to the door. Although it is said that your second aunt is married to a merchant family, fortunately, there is no shortage of money, and you will definitely not worry about your livelihood in the future. In addition to this, there is also an advantage, that is, this mother-in-law is a real aunt, and in the future, there will definitely be no mother-in-law who is difficult to be a daughter-in-law. ”
He Changan had some sympathy for this cousin in his heart. It stands to reason that it is not an exaggeration to say that the young lady from the Duke of Liang's Mansion is a marquis or an earl. Even if he marries the youngest son of Song Shangshu, it can be regarded as a low marriage, but now because of the reputation of a Kefu, it is a family of merchants, and it is also a good marriage.
Sure enough, she saw Bai You's face stiffened, but Du Shi kept giving her a look from the side. After a while, she finally came to her senses and nodded: "Granddaughter, thank you grandmother for her good intentions." ”
This is a promise to this family business.
He Chengan saw that Du Shi stroked his chest over there, as if he had finished a major matter.
At this time, I heard the voice of the porter: "Old lady, madam, Concubine Yu has come to congratulate you on your birthday." ”
Du Shi's face immediately changed on the side.
Du Ruo walked cautiously under the four maids, and walked towards the old lady of Liang Guogong, who was now less than four months pregnant, but it looked like she had a big belly, as if she had been pregnant for five months.
"Today is the old lady's 60th birthday, but I came uninvited, just because I had lived in the Liang Guo Mansion for a period of time, if it were not for the help of the Liang Guo Mansion, I would not be where I am today. I am here to celebrate my birthday, and I just hope that the old lady will not think that I am an uninvited guest. Du Ruo smiled brightly, even when he saw He Changan, there was no change in his expression, as if the slap in the face that day had never happened at all.
Immediately afterwards, she ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift she brought, which can be called not thin. Several auspicious words were said, but no matter how He Changan looked at it, he felt that this scene was wrong, and he only felt that Du Ruolai was not just a birthday celebration.
Sure enough, after Du Ruo stepped aside, he saw Bai You who was sitting in the corner, quietly wiping his tears, and couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this Sister Bai?
Because Bai You died of her fiancé, the last thing she could listen to was this matter, but as soon as Du Ruo opened her mouth, she poured salt on her wounds, her angry face turned purple, and she stretched out a trembling finger: "You ......"
Du Ruo didn't look at her, his face smiled like a flower, and he laughed for a while before patting his thigh and said: "Oh, I actually forgot that Sister Bai was originally engaged, and it seems that it is the youngest son of Song Shangshu's family, but it seems that Song Shangshu has been doing a funeral recently, could it be Sister Bai Kefu, this has not passed the door yet, and her fiancé died first...... It's really pitiful, in our palace, my sister Song also washed her face with tears all day long, crying like a tearful person"
What he said was that the Duchess of Liangguo, Geng, who had always been mediocre and peaceful, couldn't listen to it anymore: "Concubine Yu, please be careful." ”
Du Ruo shook his head: "Ouch, you look at my mouth, but I really can't speak, since that's the case, I won't stay here to be annoying, my gift has also been given, and my heart has also been delivered, Concubine Qing Niangniang also summoned me to enter the palace to speak, so I will take the first step." ”
He Changan sneered in his heart, sure enough, Du Ruo came today, where did he come to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of Liang Guo? She is gone now, but on the other side, Bai You has cried like a tearful person.
On such an occasion, no one could slap Du Ruo in the face like He Changan did that day. Du wants to be such a result, it is just a bad breath. This style of falling into the well is also quite a bit of Lu Yuan's style. Thinking about Du Ruo returning to the mansion this time, not only will he not be scolded, but he will also be praised by Lu Yuan.
It's just that...... He Changan sneered again, Du Ruo was happy to be sarcastic about others, but he didn't know that he had inadvertently revealed the fact that the death of the youngest son of the Song family should not have anything to do with her at least.
Usually in the palace, the contradiction between her and Concubine Song has reached the level of tension, and this time, a life is counted on her head, if the Song family knows these things, will they still support Lu Yuan so desperately?
She would be happy to see the day when Lu Yuan's family caused Xiao Wall
