Chapter 45: When is the birthday?

After Shangguan Li left the Autumn Wind Courtyard, he originally planned to return to the Lingshui Pavilion.

But I was attracted by the bustle at the door.

She walked over and saw that the entire long street outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of carriages, each of which contained boxes wrapped in red cloth.

The family members were busy moving the contents of the wagon inside.

"What's going on?"

Shangguan Li casually grabbed a family member who was temporarily idle and asked.

The guy glanced at her, and suddenly his legs and stomach trembled, and he almost fell directly to the ground.

"I'm so scary, isn't that veiled?"

Shangguan Li touched her face, although the veil couldn't block the black poisonous spots around her eyes at all.

"Three, Miss Three, no, it's not ......"

"What is not, straighten your tongue before speaking."

This Ding was originally afraid, but he was even more speechless when he was frightened by Shangguan Li, and he could see that Shangguan Li really thought that he had killed someone in front of him.

"Third Miss, this is an object purchased for the master's birthday."

Another voice popped up, answering her questions.

She turned her head and saw that the person who spoke was very tall, and although his face could only be called delicate, the sincerity between his eyebrows added a lot to him.

It's acquaintances.

Shangguan Li nodded.

"I see, but didn't my father's birthday in previous years be simplified? Why is there such a big battle this year. ”

Although Shangguan Xun has a bad stomach, he is very happy to pretend to be high in the government and the opposition, and every time he celebrates his birthday, he pretends to be honest and only holds two tables of banquets, and never accepts gifts.

But in fact, I don't know how many treasures I have received behind my back.

The young guard's face was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Madame said that she wanted to take advantage of this time to get back the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she ......"

Oh.

Shangguan Li understood.

It is estimated that she forced Feng Sichen to ruin the marriage contract.

The people of the capital are idle and bored, and they always like to find some after-dinner conversation from these big people who are pressed on their heads.

But Feng Sichen is the prince of the dynasty, and he can't arrange it at will.

So they had no choice but to target Shangguan Li, who was dismissed, and even Shangguan Yue, who was retired together, also suffered.

These two are Shangguan Xun's daughters, and when talking about the two daughters of the Shangguan family who did not marry the prince, it is inevitable that they will be involved with Prime Minister Shangguan Xun by the way.

This has come and gone, and now it is estimated that there are indeed few taels of face left on his face.

It's no wonder that Shangguan Xun wants to take this opportunity to save his respect.

Looking at this battle, there will definitely be no fewer people invited at that time. Maybe it will be an opportunity for her to investigate further.

Shangguan Li pondered and didn't speak, and the young guard had already pulled up the frightened half-paralyzed family member and said to Shangguan Li.

"Please also ask the third lady to do a lot, bypass his gaffe."

Shangguan Li came back to her senses at this time, she was not a character who was careful with everyone, so she nodded.

"It doesn't matter."

The young guards and the family members suddenly looked relieved.

Shangguan Li didn't say much, raised his feet and wanted to leave, but stopped at the next moment, turned around and said.

"By the way, Zhang Lei, I want to ask you something, what day is Xiangye's birthday?"

Then she saw the young guard and the family member on the other side stunned, probably she didn't expect that she could ask such a question.

Shangguan Li was also a little aggrieved.

Although he celebrated Shangguan Xun's birthday with his mother when he was a child, he was too young to tell the day.

Later, when I grew up a little, my mother was gone, and I was driven to the back mountain, and no one cared about it. Not to mention knowing when Shangguan Xun was born, she was a little vague about what Shangguan Xun looked like at that time.

Shangguan Xun finally appeared in front of her, just to make her into a ship and send Shangguan Yue to Feng Sichen's side.

It's a pity that at that time, the original body thought that he could marry a good man, and he was grateful to this scumbag father and cheap sister.

It really hurts her brain to think about it now.

"Ahem!"

The young guard named Zhang Lei coughed lightly and said respectfully.

"Xiangye's birthday is October 21, and the third lady should not forget it."

"Okay, thanks."

After receiving his reminder, Shangguan Li retracted his thoughts and turned to leave.

It wasn't until he couldn't see her anymore that Xiao Jiading breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's this third lady who beat Zhou Hu and them like that, it's really scary. By the way, Brother Lei, thank you for helping me out of the siege, and I'll invite you to drink in the evening...... Brother Rei? ”

Zhang Lei was still stunned, and he didn't react until the family called him again.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter, I said I wanted to invite you to drink, but if you don't hear it, you won't count."

Zhang Lei scolded with a smile.

"It's not going to work, a good pot of wine, I'll wait. Let's go, get to work, don't wait to be scolded by the housekeeper again. ”

"Got it."

The family sighed.

The third lady actually remembered my name.

This idea suddenly popped up and occupied a little of Zhang Lei's mind, and he didn't know where the nerves were involved in this little bit of mind.

Shangguan Li returned to Lingshui Pavilion, and the first thing she did was to check if anyone had come in, and after running up and down, she sat down with confidence.

October 21.

That is four days later, when Zhang Yuanniang and Shangguan Xun, as the hosts, will receive guests in the front hall, and then she will have the opportunity to go to Zhang Yuanniang's room to find out.

The poisonous spots on Shangguan Li's face began to appear when she was ten years old, that is, nine years ago, when a doctor diagnosed and treated her and said that it was something brought out of her mother's womb, so the world said that her face was a birthmark.

It's just nine years ago, after Qi Yi's death, several young and beautiful ladies died in the mansion.

In this case, Zhang Yuanniang, who came from a humble background, gradually secured the position of the first lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

These are all coincidences, and the probability is comparable to hiding in the basement and being struck by lightning.

So Zhang Yuanniang must have a problem.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Li came to the window and brought in the two flower pots on the windowsill that were bathing in the sun.

The two flowers she had brought from Zhang Yuanniang's yard last night were planted in the pot, but the flowers that had bloomed very well had now begun to wither, not only the leaves had also drooped, but the rhizomes also showed signs of necrosis.

This phenomenon is unusual.

Because Shangguan Li arranged the flower pots according to the environment of the Oriliu Courtyard, she even used a little medicine that is very good for plants.

It stands to reason that even if the transplant is not successful, the flower will not wither so quickly.

There is only one flower pot and Oriyanagi in different places, and that is soil.

What's in the soil beneath that large field of flowers?

Shangguan Li thought leisurely.

It seems that the next time she acts, she will not only explore Zhang Yuanniang's room, but also have to dig some soil and come back to study and study.
