Chapter 244: Birthday Banquet
Next, Xi Jing, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, also arrived with his wife and sister, Dingguo Mansion, Wucheng Marquis Mansion, Huguo General's Mansion, Zhenguo General's Mansion, etc., almost all the people in the capital who have heads and faces were all wiped out by this post of Suyuan Marquis' Mansion.
The Marquis of Suyuan himself is a marquis of military merits, and he is an upright character, quite important to the emperor, the prince Xiao Jin is now a four-grade sword to be guarded, and the second son is still Princess Furou, and the family is favored, so there is no delay in the Hou Mansion as soon as he posts it.
Gu Wanning came a little earlier today, mainly because she had been detained at home by Ye Hanyu's man for too long, she really wanted to come out and let it go, the most important thing is that most of the people who came to the banquet today were Miss Shan Gongzi, and there would be stories where there were many handsome men and beautiful women, how could she be missing at this time!
Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Gao also came early, and as soon as they saw her, they had to pull her to take a few handfuls, but as a result, the old lady of the Marquis of Suyuan Mansion also had to play two, which made her miserable.
Today is Mrs. Xiao's birthday, how can she not make the birthday star unhappy.
Therefore, she chose a position for the old lady to sit down, and then fed her a big card from time to time.
"Oh, the old lady is really in good spirits on happy occasions, today this luck is too strong, and it is a big beard!
The old lady let me touch my hands, and let me be a little happy. ”
The old lady smiled so much that she couldn't see it, "You kid can speak, I think it's you who want my wife, the old woman used to play mahjong with others, and she didn't have such a happy time, come on, the old woman holds a big one, you take this pair of jade bracelets to play, don't shirk, the elders can't give up!" ”
Onlookers: ...... I'm going to be angry!
Can something that can be worn on the hands of an old lady on such a big day be an ordinary product?
Mrs. Su Yuanhou knows that the one that her mother-in-law picked off is a superb jade bracelet that is warm in winter and cool in summer, how much silver does the old lady get for winning a mahjong? Those pair of jade bracelets are enough for her to make a thousand!
However, she didn't say anything, but persuaded Gu Wanning when she excused herself: "The old lady gave it, and the princess of the county took it, the old lady is really happy today." ”
Gu Wanning finally took it generously, "Then Wanning is not welcome, this bracelet knows that it is a good thing at a glance, I am picking up a golden pie!" ”
Everyone laughed, and the lord of Furou stood there like an outsider, out of place with the laughing crowd in the room, and the old lady could laugh so happily in front of outsiders, it was really dazzling to look at her.
Mrs. Suyuanhou also saw the county lord of Furou at this time, "Old lady, the county lord is here, hurry, serve tea to the county lord." ”
According to the family etiquette, Furou wants to give the old lady and Mrs. a salute, according to the national etiquette, there are few people in this room who can stand, she can not give a salute to the old lady and the lady, but the people in this room dare not give her a salute, so the good atmosphere is because she stood there silently with a cold face, and suddenly disappeared.
No matter what Gu Wanning said, she should also call her a big imperial sister, the ceremony must be done, after the salute, she helped the old lady to sit down, and Mrs. Qin said politely: "Don't you come to accompany the old lady to touch two cards, the old lady is lucky today, but she has won a lot!" ”
Mrs. Su Yuanhou has always been worried, for fear that she will pout Mrs. Qin's face on the spot.
Her high-ranking daughter-in-law really doesn't lose her son's disdain, she just can't look at people's faces, obviously the scene just now, she just sat down according to her own words, she stood at the door of the hall with a straight face and waited for everyone to salute her, how can others like her with such a temperament?
Really, I don't know which life I made a sin, but it's a pity that her good son was planted in the hands of such a woman!
Fortunately, the county lord of Furou still has reason, and he didn't make the scene too embarrassing, "No, Mrs. Qin, let's play, this county lord will go outside." ”
She was angry when she looked at the woman surnamed Gu now, but she couldn't have a conflict with that woman on an occasion like today, so she simply couldn't see it and go out.
As soon as she left on her front foot, the atmosphere in the back foot hall recovered, and Gu Wanning became a little expert in adjusting the atmosphere.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and touch the cards, I touched the old lady's hand just now, maybe I can be a fool of myself!"
The old lady said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's your time to do it, touch the cards and touch the cards!" ”
Mrs. Suyuan Hou breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the old lady's mood was not affected, Princess Yujun, she is really beautiful and sweet!
After playing for more than half an hour, only the old lady won alone among the four, Gu Wanning is a rich lady today, but they just want to accompany the old lady to have fun, and the fun is not big, although the other two accompanied her to lose, they really didn't win or lose.
Mrs. Gao joked: "Today, the old lady's luck is indeed good, if you win like this every day, we don't dare to play with you." ”
The old lady said happily: "The old woman has already said that the princess of the county wants me." ”
"The old lady said that I want you, then next time I have the opportunity to play with you again, don't think I'm stupid."
"No, no."
In the front yard, the king of war was ordered by the imperial brother to ride a horse to the Hou Mansion near noon, and the Marquis of Su Yuan personally accompanied him to the backyard to meet the old lady, so that the dignified King of War could come to the door in person, which definitely gave the face of the Hou Mansion of Su Yuan.
The King of War said hello to the old lady with a straight look, and then gave the gift prepared by the housekeeper, and Marquis Su Yuan pulled his daughter out, "Ying'er, haven't you always said that the one you worship the most is the King of War?" Why is it that the real person is in front of you, and you still dare not step forward? ”
Gu Wanning only knew at this time that the woman who had been sitting in the corner was the concubine of Marquis Su Yuan, she was really silent enough, it would be interesting if she was with Uncle Zhan Wang, and the two of them estimated that they would not be able to say two words a day.
"Courtier Xiao Ying, I've seen the war king!"
looks not bad, and the person is sassy and neat, worthy of being the daughter of a military general's family, and quite a father's husband.
It's a pity that four years ago, she delayed her marriage due to the death of her grandfather, and now she is a nineteen-year-old leftover girl, and men of her age have basically married wives and had children, and she can't just pick a family to marry, so she has not allowed anyone to do so.
The king of war glanced at Xiao Ying, this time it was really a look, it was no longer the previous perfunctory, Su Yuanhou and his wife were not bad looking, otherwise they would not be able to give birth to Xiao Shu who asked Furou to be a concubine.
Maybe it's my grandmother's birthday today, and she has light makeup on her face, which is so light that you can barely see it, which makes people look at it but is extremely comfortable.
