Chapter 185: Mu Jianzhong's Birthday Banquet (1)
Mu Jianzhong's birthday banquet is coming in a blink of an eye, and the entire Zhenguo Mansion is full of lights and beams, and Kou Huilan has already sent red envelopes to everyone in the name of Mu Mansion yesterday, so everyone is very energetic to work today.
Except for Ning Luoqiu alone, looking at this full of joy, her whole person was like a wilt, just leaning on the verandah by the fish pond in a daze, and the jewels all over her body did not bring her a little brilliance at all, but a little more melancholy.
Mu Junjia hadn't spoken to her for several days, and he didn't come back after he ran out that night, and then the little guy in Yanwang's Mansion came to spread the word that he had drunk too much and lived in Yanwang's Mansion.
The next day, Ning Luoqiu prepared a meal and waited for him, but he didn't expect to wait for him with a cold face like ice, and moved to the study without saying anything.
She subconsciously touched her belly, there has been no movement for a few years, the daughter-in-law of the third uncle's family next to her doesn't know a few words, the child is born on the left and the right, and now the little boy is five years old, the girl is still in swaddling clothes, and she is pregnant with another one in her belly.
Not only that, Kou Huilan and Mu Jianzhong inevitably gave her a look in the face for this matter, especially after the people from the third uncle's family came to show off, it was even worse.
She was sick some time ago, Mu Junjia moved back to take care of her and didn't leave, but now it's okay, the person who finally came back is gone again, and the whole person looks even colder.
"Young lady, Madame told you to go to the front hall, saying that the guests have already arrived." Kou Huilan's maid came to call her, and she could only sigh and stand up.
"Got it, you tell Madame that I'll go back and change my clothes and come right away."
Ning Luoqiu hurriedly walked back, for fear that the time would be delayed for a long time, Kou Huilan gave her a look again, after all, now that the Mu family is in full swing, her father and the eldest brother who are released need to rely on the power of the Mu family to gain a firm foothold in the court, and she can only tolerate Kou Huilan's arrogance for these all the time.
As soon as he walked in the door, he bumped into Mu Junjia, it turned out that Mu Junjia also came back to change clothes, but he didn't expect Ning Luoqiu to come back too, he just glanced at her coldly, and was about to go out.
"Mu Junjia! I'm your wife, not your maid, and when you see me, it's like you can't see me? Ning Luoqiu felt the chill in his eyes and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Ning Luoqiu, look at what day it is today? Do you think this is the right time to be noisy? Mu Junjia also turned around and said loudly.
"It's not right today, it's not right yesterday, it's not right tomorrow, so tell me when I can have a good talk with you. My mother always said that I was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, so did I have a baby on my own? I can't even see my husband's face, what are I talking about having a baby?! The more Ning Luoqiu spoke, the more angry he became, and he turned around and pulled Mu Junjia's clothes and shouted.
"Luoqiu, today is my father's birthday banquet, don't mess around, hurry up and change your clothes and go to the front hall, lest your mother blame you." As she spoke, Mu Junjia shook off her hand and walked outside.
Ning Luoqiu was shaken off by Mu Junjia, and almost didn't stand firm and fell back, but fortunately, the maid next to her helped her in time, but her hand still hit the table next to her, and she was bruised.
Looking at the bruise on her hand, but it hurt firmly in her heart, thinking about it, Ning Luoqiu sat on the ground and cried.
Your Mu family is so bullying, an arrogant Kou Huilan is not enough, come to a high-spirited Mu Xiyun who is a princess, and now even you Mu Junjia are like this, since you are so good-looking, then I will give you a good trouble.

Mu Jianzhong and Kou Huilan were greeting the guests with smiles on their faces in the front hall, they were dressed in gorgeous services, especially the ruby head on Kou Huilan's head, which caused many ladies to praise each other.
"Lord Mu, you are now a model of the court, Your Majesty has praised you in public many times, you are really our model." An adult said flatteringly.
"Of course, before Your Majesty ascended the throne, Lord Mu helped deal with all kinds of affairs before and after the saddle, no matter how big or small, of course you can get Your Majesty's blue eyes." The other also hurriedly said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you just need to make me happy, now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne and the people live and work in peace and contentment, we should do our best to share your Majesty's worries, this is our duty." Mu Jianzhong said with a smile.
"Father! Hello adults. Mu Junjia strode in, thinking about Mu Jianzhong and the adults.
"Oh, you see that Mu Shilang has a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, if it is really Lord Mu who is well educated, he will definitely be a pillar of the court in the future." With the arrival of Mu Junjia, the group shifted the direction of the sycophants again.
Of course, he said that he was talking about Mu Junjia, but in fact, he was still patting Mu Jianzhong's ass, who made him the father-in-law of the current regent, and the backer behind him was Yan Wang Yu Mingche.
"Your lords have praised it falsely, not long after the dog first entered the court, there are still many places to learn from your adults, I hope that your predecessors will give you advice in the future." Mu Jianzhong looked at his son and said proudly.
"Father is right, Junjia still has a lot to learn, I hope you adults can give me more guidance on weekdays, I must learn with an open mind." Mu Junjia's answer was impeccable, making everyone present nod with satisfaction.
"Jia'er, the time is right, King Yan and the princess should be almost there, you go to the door to greet you." Mu Jianzhong saw that the people had almost arrived, and urged this Mu Junjia to greet Yu Mingche and Mu Xiyun.
Mu Junjia didn't have long to arrive at the door, and saw the carriage of Yanwang Mansion coming to the gate of Mu Mansion, Yu Mingche walked down first, and then turned around to take Mu Xiyun's hand.
Sister Mu Xiyun is wearing an ivory white wide-sleeved shirt today, embroidered with magnolia flowers, inside is an aqua blue bandeau dress, with a turquoise and translucent pendant hanging on the chest, which is extraordinary at a glance, just combing a flying cloud bun on her head, inserting a simple and generous pearl step, next to it is a light blue sea shell pearl flower.
In such a comparison, Kou Huilan and Ning Luoqiu's wearing gold and silver seem too vulgar and ordinary, but Mu Xiyun's body is beautiful and refined, which sets off the red and pink complexion on her face.
"King Yan, princess, father is already waiting for you inside." Mu Junjia saluted Yu Mingche first and said.
"Brother, don't be restrained, just be casual." Yu Mingche said with a faint smile.
"Big brother, why are you alone, I didn't see my sister-in-law, a few days ago she sent someone to tell me that she liked my set of velvet gold thread jewelry, I brought it." Mu Xiyun didn't see the deep displeasure on Mu Junjia's face at all.
"Your sister-in-law is changing her clothes, I'll send them to her later, let's go in first, my father and mother are already waiting."
Yu Mingche noticed something, he didn't say anything, just took Mu Xiyun's hand and smiled and walked into Mu Mansion.
