Volume 1 Chapter 305 Birthday Greetings
Qi Ying successfully gathered with the Xu family, and after a while, the daughters of the Zhao, Du, and Shen families also arrived, and everyone prepared to go in together.
Looking at their huge procession, the people at the back of the queue were all wondering about the identity of the person in front of them, but they probably guessed through the surnames on several carriages.
Among them, the most conspicuous is the carriage in which the three Zhang families are riding.
He Yirou also saw the special carriage as soon as she got out of the car, and when she paid a little attention, she knew that it was Xu Yunjin's, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile.
Lord Wenle, heh.
The name of a county lord is just a princess, her target is a princess, an eldest princess like Qi Yuan, and she even wants to hold some power in her hands.
Not to mention He Lishun's luck, neither he nor his wife inherited the old daughter of their father, but the eldest daughter is exceptionally smart and ambitious.
He Yirou knew that her grandfather's purpose was not to be an emperor's grandfather, what he wanted was to ascend to the position above those ten thousand people.
And she also knew that if the He family really took the throne, her father and second uncle would definitely fight for this throne, and all she had to do was to increase her father's bargaining chips.
He Yirou has been helping her father make money and attract talents, and even secretly cultivated people in a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.
There are not many people, only more than 200 people, and when the He family rises one day, these people can play a role and make contributions in the He family's camp, which even her father doesn't know.
Standing at the gate to greet the guests was Yao Yong's grandson Yao Xiucheng, who obviously knew Yuan Xuan and had a good relationship, and greeted him warmly as soon as they met.
Yuan Xuan also gave him a rough introduction to the identities of everyone, only to see him look at Xu Yunjin curiously.
provoked Yuan Xuan to glare at him dissatisfied.
Yao Xiucheng: I have a fiancée, thank you.
Yao Xiucheng led several female dependents to Mrs. Yao's courtyard, handed over the responsibility of welcoming guests to the housekeeper, and left with Yuan Xuan himself.
In Kyoto, to be exact, it should be said that in Daqi, this kind of banquet is divided into courtyards for men and women, but it is not very far apart.
Xu Yunjin and his entourage went to the backyard to visit Mrs. Yao under the leadership of the maid.
The Yao family's yard has been many years old and doesn't look very new, but every flower and grass in it makes Xu Yunjin feel like he is in nature.
I heard that many flowers and plants here were transplanted by Yao Yong when he was traveling, and it took a lot of effort to preserve them.
Mrs. Yao thought of her eldest daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter in Beijing, so she sent a lot of them, so now the courtyard of the Yao family is a unique existence in Kyoto.
It's a pity that the Yao family generally doesn't entertain guests, and for Du Jiahui, who loves flowers and plants, the Yao family's courtyard is simply paradise.
There were a lot of people and walking slowly, and it took a while to reach the courtyard where the old lady lived, and saw a very good-looking girl standing at the door.
She is tall and picturesque, wearing a long white dress embroidered with white red plums, which looks like her own character.
The weather in early spring is still a little cold, and the woman is still wearing a white coat, with a green silk twisted into a wishful bun, and only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted.
It looks plain, but it has a high-class beauty.
Xiang Zhiyi was still standing next to the woman, so Xu Yunjin guessed her identity at once, and this woman should be Yao Ruochan.
is worthy of being the girl Yuan Xuan likes, this temperament is not comparable to ordinary women, and she has a good vision.
Xu Yunjin was in a daze and secretly commented in his heart, and Yao Ruochan had already greeted a few elders under Xiang Zhiyi's introduction.
Thanks to Xiao Yi's reminder, Xu Yunjin came back to her senses when Yao Ruochan greeted her.
"I've seen Lord Wenle." Xu Yunjin was frightened by Yao Ruochan's salute, and quickly grabbed the other party and returned the salute.
This is likely to be the future sister-in-law, but she can't be offended.
"Sister Ruochan is polite, the county lord or something is just a title, just call me Ah Jin in the future."
Xu Yunjin's perception of Yao Ruochan is okay, although she looks like a weak girl
, but a hint of perseverance can be faintly seen between the eyebrows.
A woman who can get along well with Yuan Xuan and a few people, she doesn't think it will be any worse.
Xu Yunjin's movements and words revealed kindness, which made the smile on the corner of Yao Ruochan's mouth even bigger, this girl really looks good.
Not to mention that Yuan Xuan wanted to abduct people home, she also wanted to do it.
"Sister Ah Jin, I have admired the name for a long time, I finally have the opportunity to meet today, I am very interested in medical skills, and I know a little bit, if I have any questions in this regard in the future, can I come and ask you?"
As soon as Xu Yunjin heard it, she knew that she was being modest, she should be able to do some medical skills, and Xu Yunjin could smell a faint smell of medicine from her.
It must be that you are constantly around people who need to take medication, or you will be exposed to these yourself, so you can have this obvious smell.
Thinking of telling Zhiyi about Mrs. Yao's illness, Xu Yunjin knew in his heart that Yao Ruochan was a good daughter.
"Okay, if Sister Ruochan is free, she can also visit our medical school." Yao Ruochan nodded again and again after hearing this, and said that she would definitely visit when the medical school opened.
Then he took them into the house.
As soon as everyone entered, they ushered in the attention of the ladies, and in a group of them, in addition to the Lin family, only the You family and the Xu family knew each other, but they also had no friendship.
When Xu Yunjin entered the door, he saw Mrs. Yao, who was sitting in the middle with a kind face, she would be sixty years old today.
After encountering the white-haired man sending the black hair, she almost followed.
But for the sake of her family, for the sake of her young granddaughter, she still survived strongly, the thick black hair of her youth no longer exists, and the silver-white hair like the first snow and autumn frost looms between the black hair.
Although I am taking good care of it, I still have the lines of time on my face, like a twist and turn in the past.
This kind and kind old lady was delighted at the sight of a series of young girls, and when she was older, she liked to look at bright people, so that she felt that she was still young.
The old lady obviously had a good impression of the Lin family, and when she saw her, she said with a smile: "Don't you think I'm bored as an old woman, I haven't seen you come to the house to talk to me for a long time."
Hearing this, Lin hurriedly confessed, "You really wronged me, it's not like my family has come to Kyoto to reunite recently, but this time is very busy." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhang.
The old lady also followed her gaze to look at Zhang, who was standing one step in front of her, and guessed that this should be Xu Wen's mother.
Thinking of such an ordinary peasant woman, who raised her son so well and took care of a family in good order.
She believes that the Xu family's ability to get to where it is today has a lot to do with a good mother.
Thinking of this, she had a good impression of Zhang.
"Old sister, I heard the second daughter-in-law say that you are her noble person in Kyoto, and I have long wanted to come to the door to say thank you in person.
It just so happens that this time I came to Beijing to catch up with your birthday, sister, I am leading the juniors to congratulate you on your birthday today."
It was the first time for the Zhang family to participate in this kind of banquet, and it was also the first time to speak under the gaze of so many official women, and it was still a little restrained.
The old lady felt that she was very sincere, and said to her half-jokingly: "It is my blessing that my sister can come today, your children are all loved, I have to stay with you for a while, so as to touch the blessings of your children and grandchildren."
After that, Mrs. Yao asked her to sit down very close to her, which undoubtedly surprised others, but they didn't expect her to value Zhang so much.
"What did the old sister say, I saw two girls and boys in your family today, just bring one out, they are better than a few of our family, don't say good things to coax me."
Zhang's words are not self-deprecating, after all, the children and grandchildren of the Yao family are indeed very good, let's just say Yao Ruochan, if it weren't for Xu Yunjin's experience, I am afraid that he would be abused by the other party.
Yao Xiucheng's intelligence is even comparable to Xu Yunqing, after all, the Yao family is here, and the ancestors have been scholars for several generations.
How long has the Xu family been rich
, Xu Wen was almost a person who went to the field to eat.
Old Madam Yao also laughed when she heard this, and smiled at the old lady closest to her, "Look, I finally told the truth, and she said that I was making fun of her."
The old lady also pointed to Xiang Zhiyi on the side and said with a smile, "If my sister says so, just change your girl to me, and I will exchange our little leather monkey with you."
It turned out that she was Xiang Zhiyi's grandmother and Xiang the old general's wife.
Zhang also guessed her identity, and joked with a smile: "It's okay to change a grandson with you, but I don't want to change my caring granddaughter, you look at the grandson of my family, if you like it, you will take it away and be a brother with Zhiwu."
"That's not going to work, one granddaughter has to be replaced by at least two grandchildren." Xiang replied with a smile to the old lady.
"Grandma, how can you be like this, if your granddaughter really goes to be Grandma Xu's granddaughter, are you willing to do it?" Xiang Zhiyi pretended to be aggrieved and wanted to cry or not.
"Willing." When he finished speaking to the old lady, he burst out laughing, and everyone in the room laughed happily.
"Hmph." Xiang Zhiyi pretended to be angry and ran to stand with Yao Ruochan.
A few old ladies got acquainted after a while, but Xu Yunjin and the others were still standing below waiting to celebrate her birthday.
Among their group, You is the oldest, but Lin and Mrs. Yao are the most familiar, so she took her forward to congratulate the old lady on her birthday:
"The younger generations are here to celebrate the birthday of the old lady, and I wish you good health and a long life."
A simple birthday greeting, but it contains the most sincere blessings.
Who doesn't want to be healthy and live a long life?
Sure enough, when Mrs. Yao heard this, she smiled happily, hurriedly asked them to get up, and pointed to the nearest places for a few women to sit down.
"Don't even stand still, sit down and talk."
Everyone did not refuse, and they all sat down. new
The people sitting here now are all relatively early, and the earlier they come, the closer they are to the master's family, so the people present are not very annoying people, so they talk more casually.
