When Mrs. Yuerong heard that I wanted to know which guests were going to attend Yang Wanyun's 60th birthday, she hesitated and said, "Over the years, all the things that are the master's birthday and the things that are ushered in and sent are all taken care of by the eldest lady. This time, the list of guests was also drawn up by the eldest lady, and we don't know. ”

"Madame misunderstood, I don't want a list of all the guests, I just want to know, how many guests there are, will you invite them."

"Who does Miss Yan want to know?"

I thought for a while and said, "Since something like that happened yesterday, then Wu Yanqiu-Madam, will you still invite?" ”

Mrs. Yuerong frowned unconsciously, and a look of displeasure flashed on her face, but she still immediately said, "Please still please." Our family is not so small. ”

I hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Then, who other guests will be on the queen's side?" ”

Mrs. Yuerong recalled for a moment, and then said: "As a rule, I also want to give a post to Master Chang, but he is already a veteran of several dynasties, and he is highly respected-plus it seems that his body has sunk in the past two years, so he may not be able to come." ”

I knew it when I heard her say this, I was afraid that I would have to post to Chang Taishi every time in the past, but after all, he was a Taishi, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't want to have anything to do with businessmen, so he almost wouldn't come.

If nothing else, this time, he probably won't come.

However, the people of the Chang family are not what I am most worried about.

I was silent for a while, my eyebrows frowned slightly, Mrs. Yuerong seemed to feel the heaviness in my heart, although I didn't speak, she didn't leave, but stood there quietly, after a while, I finally raised my head to look at her, and said in a somewhat hesitant tone: "Mrs. Yuerong, in the past, Lord Yang's birthday, have royal people come?" ”

Mrs. Yuerong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook her head: "No." ”

"That's—"

As soon as my words came out, I heard a somewhat cold, but extremely stiff voice next to me: "Miss Yan, I want to know, will the emperor and the queen attend the master's birthday banquet?" ”

Mrs. Yuerong and I both trembled subconsciously, and at the same time turned our heads, and saw a beautiful bejeweled woman standing in front of us, walking towards us.

Mrs. Hanyu!

Before I could speak in a hurry, Mrs. Yuerong had already hurriedly turned around and saluted her: "Sister." ”

In the past two days since I came to Yang's Mansion, I can feel the relationship between the people here, and I can see that Yang Wanyun is quite fond of her concubine, so even if Yang Jinyao is a concubine, she has been doting on since she was a child, and she has also developed her lawless character; But no matter how much Yang Wanyun dotes on Mrs. Yuerong, Mrs. Hanyu's status in this family has never dared to be shaken, so even if Mrs. Yuerong can be coquettish and presumptuous in front of Yang Wanyun, but in front of this lady, she is quite regular.

It can also be seen that Mrs. Hanyu's means are there.

At this time, I also hurriedly turned around and said with a smile, "Mrs. Hanyu." ”

Mrs. Hanyu walked over slowly, not even glancing at Mrs. Yuerong out of the corner of her eyes, and only said lightly: "I heard that Jin Yao is finally willing to eat?" ”

"Yes. After Miss Yan went in and persuaded her, she is much quieter now. ”

"Then why don't you go and watch? The day after tomorrow is the master's birthday, don't let her make trouble again, lest she lose her dignity when she gets it. ”

"Yes, yes."

Mrs. Yuerong agreed, and hurriedly turned around and walked into Yang Jinyao's room, and closed the door as well.

I also glanced back, and saw that the door was closed, and when I turned my head again, Mrs. Hanyu had already walked in front of me. Her aura is very strong, as if there is an invisible pressure around her at any time, I subconsciously took a step back, and before I could speak, I heard her smile and say: "Miss Yan wants to know the day after tomorrow at the master's birthday banquet, will the emperor and the queen mother attend?" ”

I straightened my face and smiled, "I'm presumptuous." ”

"It's not presumptuous," she looked at me with a smile, "Mrs. Ben also knows what Miss Yan is afraid of. ”

I smiled and didn't answer.

She also smiled, and then said, "But Miss Yan can rest assured. Although our lord is an imperial businessman, he is also a courtier in the end, and the emperor has not come to congratulate the courtier on his birthday. ”

“……”

"Queen Mother, of course not."

“……”

"So, Miss Yan doesn't have to worry."

“……”

In fact, I also know that as the emperor, Pei Yuanhao is almost impossible to really go to a courtier's house to celebrate his birthday, when he attended the funeral of Lord Liu Yi in Yangzhou, he had already messed up the rules of the monarch and ministers, and made an exception, Yang Wanyun has not yet reached the point where Liu Yi has won the hearts of the people and has great achievements, Pei Yuanhao should not give so much face.

However, when I heard Mrs. Hanyu say this, I was really relieved.

At this time, I heard Mrs. Hanyu talking to herself as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was joking, she said lightly: "If they really come, then, it's—"

Her voice became lower and lower, and when she said the last few words, she could barely hear it, but I was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Mrs. Hanyu's face with a faint smile, that smile, with an indescribable coldness, as if a cold wind suddenly blew over, making people's limbs and bodies cold for a moment.

I subconsciously said, "Madam? ”

She also raised her head to look at me, but immediately smiled, and then said, "Is there anything else Miss Yan wants to know besides this?" ”

“……”

I don't know why, there were still some questions, but at this time, I suddenly couldn't ask them.

The birthday banquet two days later originally made me feel a sense of depression that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was all over the building, and at this moment, that feeling was even worse.

I didn't speak, but Mrs. Hanyu smiled and said, "By the way, since Miss Yan is already a guest at our house, then I will forgive me for this post." ”

I smiled too, but there was some apprehension in my smile.

They decided to invite me.

Actually, I can't talk about inviting anymore, after all, this time I can return to the capital from Yangzhou safely, thanks to the help of the Yang family, Yang Wanyun hopes to take the opportunity of this sixtieth birthday to leave me at the Yang family to summon Yang Jinqiao back, which is understandable. It's just-

If I want to attend his birthday banquet, doesn't that mean that my return to the capital will be in broad daylight?

Seeing that my brows furrowed slightly, Mrs. Hanyu was exquisite, and immediately felt my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Miss Yan, don't worry, if you don't want others to know that you have returned to Beijing, my lord and I are actually not willing to cause those troubles." ”

"Oh?"

"We'll arrange it for Miss Yan."

"In that case—" I thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "then I will be going to cause trouble to Madame." ”

"Where, where." She smiled, her bright eyes shining: "Miss Yan is willing to come, it has already done us a great favor, especially this time-" She smiled while glancing back at Yang Jinyao's closed door, and then said: "This time Jin Yao's marriage, if it can really be done, then Miss Yan's merit is beyond the reach of building a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

Jin Yao's marriage?

The tip of my eyebrows frowned slightly: "Mrs. Hanyu thinks that this matter of Miss Jin Yao can still be done?" ”

She smiled but didn't say anything.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart - no matter how I communicated with Yang Jinyao before, so that she was not so resistant to Wu Yanqiu and that marriage for the time being, and even now, I can feel that she has a good impression of Wu Yanqiu, but Wu Yanqiu has already pushed down this marriage, and even, we don't know what he rejected Yang Jinyao for, but since the man has clearly refused, then this matter is almost a foregone conclusion.

In this case, Mrs. Hanyu also said that this matter may be possible.

Moreover, it is my merit.

Was she joking?

Facing my heavy eyes, Mrs. Hanyu looked very calm, looking at me with a light smile, I thought about it, and said tentatively: "Mrs. Hanyu is very concerned about Miss Jin Yao." ”

She still smiled lightly, but something seemed to flash in her eyes, and said: "These children should be happy to see that they can eventually marry their lovers and become elders." ”

“……”

"What I don't want is for them to not be happy."

“……”

"That kind of tragedy should not be repeated."

“……”

I chuckled inwardly.

That kind of tragedy...... Shouldn't it be repeated ......?

What she said was-

I was thinking in my heart, and at this moment, the maids who had been ordered to get food had already returned, carrying food boxes in their hands, and walked back cautiously, and when they saw me and Madame Hanyu still standing at the door, they all hurried over to salute.

Mrs. Hanyu regained her previous indifferent and arrogant expression, and waved her sleeves and said, "Go in and take care of Miss." Be careful, before the master's birthday banquet, no mistakes are allowed. ”

"Yes."

She looked at me with a smile again: "Miss Yan, let's go and persuade Jin Yao again." She listened to you, but it made us all worry-free, and it also troubled Miss Yan. ”

I smiled: "No trouble, no trouble." ”

After speaking, I saluted her, and then turned around and walked into Yang Jinyao's room with those maids, when I closed the door, I glanced back, but saw Mrs. Hanyu standing alone in the courtyard, she was not young, but it could be seen that her figure was kept very strong, and her back was straight, but because of this, she showed an indescribable stubbornness, and loneliness.

I seemed to see something in her back.

But at this moment, she seemed to feel my gaze, came back to her senses, and met my gaze, and at that moment, I felt a heavy murderous intent in her eyes.

My heart fluttered, and just then, the door slowly closed.
