When Xu Muqiu heard the words "birthday banquet" and "gift-giving", his heart moved. Leng Zixing, who was working hard to introduce the antiques in the store, asked, "Tomorrow, but the old lady Jia of Rongguo Mansion has a birthday?" ”

"Childe doesn't know?" Leng Zixing was a little puzzled, but immediately reacted again, naturally took the handle, and replied: "Xu is a villain who is mistaken, looking at a person like Gongzi, I think it is the prince and noble." ”

"Tomorrow, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion will celebrate Jia's birthday, these days Jiafu is full of people coming and going, and there are not a few people who come to the villain's store to pick up birthday gifts!"

"Looking at a character like Childe, I thought it was an old relative of the Rongguo Mansion, so I asked this more, don't blame Childe!" Leng Zixing explained.

Xu Muqiu thought to himself, no wonder this Leng Zixing can climb up to Rongguo Mansion, seeing people and talking about people, and the ability to talk nonsense is not small. In his previous life, if he could have this mouth, he might have been promoted and raised a salary long ago, so why bother?

Putting aside the distractions, Xu Muqiu heard about the birthday of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, and immediately made up his mind in his heart. Turning his head to Leng Zixing, he said, "Shopkeeper, help me choose three antiques, it's still the one who asks for it." ”

Leng Zixing first looked happy after hearing this, and unconsciously put up the abacus in his hand, as if he was calculating how much money he could earn this time.

Then he remembered something, and said with a slightly embarrassed look: "Childe, can you wait here for a while?" ”

"If you want to say that this good thing, I collected it last year, three sets of Han Dynasty gold-inlaid jade glass bottles, but this object is now placed in the villain's home in the south of the city, and the villain will go to get it, I'm afraid it will take a while."

After Xu Muqiu heard this, he looked at the sky outside, it should be Shen Shi at this moment, and he suddenly felt a little troublesome, so he said to Leng Zixing: "Don't bother so much, Xu Le, give him a name card from the mansion and let him send it to the mansion later." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out, having been out for a long time, for fear of worrying his grandmother and mother. Xu Muqiu patted his horse and galloped towards the Pingbei Hou Mansion.

The flowers bloom at each end of the table, and after Xu Muqiu returned home, he really received the care of his grandmother and mother. Xu Muqiu couldn't bear it a little, so he hurriedly changed the topic, and several people chatted until the evening, and then the Zhang and Jin families let Xu Muqiu go back to the house to rest.

On the other side, after Xu Muqiu and the others left, Leng Zixing hurriedly went home to take three sets of Han Dynasty gold-inlaid jade glass bottles, loaded them into a carriage, and prepared to escort them in person.

Open the famous post and take a closer look, and the book "Pingbei Houfu Xu", my heart was shocked, and I thought to myself, no wonder it is so magnificent!

Early the next morning, Xu Muqiu went to Shouqing Hall to greet Zhang and Jin. After sitting down, he asked Zhuxiang to take out two sets of Han Dynasty glass bottles, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, when the children were wandering around, they remembered that when they went home, they forgot to prepare gifts for their grandmother and mother. ”

Zhang and Jin were very happy when they heard it, and felt that they were still their own children. Xu Muqiu seemed to casually mention the birthday banquet of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion. After hearing this, Zhang smacked his lips and said with some displeasure: "That's a stingy person, some small grievances, and I have held a grudge for a long time!" ”

"That old woman gave my family a post early on her birthday, Brother Qiu, you just came back, you can go to see the scene, that family loves to be the most lively!"

After Zhang finished speaking, Jin continued: "Wu'er should go, it's time for all the families in Beijing to meet my Yushu Zhilan in Pingbei Hou Mansion, Qiu'er has also reached the age of getting married, so I have to make plans early!" ”

When Jin mentioned his son's marriage, the more he talked about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he had to prepare for it.

The old lady Zhang didn't stop it, but also added oil and vinegar on the side, called a few big girls, and gave Xu Muqiu a good time.

Xu Muqiu appeared again, already outside the main gate of the "Rongguo Mansion". Today's Rongguo Mansion is really lively, but it is really a powerful person who talks and laughs, and there is no vain exchange. The sedan chair that greeted the guests was lifted in, and it never stopped, but the little guy in the house was still so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground!

At this time, Lai Da, the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, shouted loudly: "Songmao and Zhufeng are abundant, life is prolonged, the family is prosperous, and the children and grandchildren are full!" On the occasion of Mrs. Jia's seventh rank celebration, I would like to have a Philippine courtesy, and I wish Mu Qiu, the foolish grandson of Pingbei Houfu, congratulations! ”

"One handle of gold and jade Ruyi, one handle of red sandalwood longevity stick, one set of Han inlaid gold jade glazed bottles, one set of gilded red python satin longevity screen, ten sets of longevity gold ornaments, one hundred altars of longevity wine, one hundred candles, one hundred longevity peaches, and one hundred bunches of longevity noodles."

After the birthday gift list was reported, Lai Da hurriedly greeted Xu Muqiu and invited him inside, and the guests outside the door all looked at this side with surprised faces.

Although this birthday gift is expensive and heavy, it is just ordinary, far less than the little marquis who has not appeared in Pingbei Houfu for ten years. When all the guests outside the door heard that this person had come to Jiafu to pay homage, they all looked at the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion with curious eyes, wanting to take a good look at Xu Muqiu to see what kind of person he was?

Jia Lian, who was entertaining guests outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, heard the movement, and hurriedly greeted him, and said to Xu Muqiu: "I have long heard that Yushu, the eldest son of Pingbei Hou Mansion, is in the wind and has an extraordinary appearance, and he has long been a figure of the immortal family. When I saw it today, it was true.

Jia Lian is the son of Jia Yu, the first-class general of Rongguo Mansion, because he doesn't like to study and seek officials, he only donated a five-grade Tongzhi. But Jia Lian is shrewd and capable, and he is very good at general affairs, and most of the foreign affairs of Rongguo Mansion rely on him to preside. Today, when he saw the grandson of the Pingbei Hou Mansion coming to the mansion to congratulate him on his birthday, he came forward to compliment him very skillfully, which made Xu Muqiu have a good impression of him.

Xu Muqiu replied: "Brother Shi is polite, foolish brother should not be like this, I followed the master to cultivate when I was young, but in order to cure the disease, most of the rumors in the market are that the three of them became tigers, and they were falsely spread. ”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "My brother's face is very deserved, and I am so envious of my brother." Today, there is this opportunity, you and I have to be close and close, hurry up and get on the sedan chair, and please go inside. ”

Xu Muqiu sat on the sedan chair and went to the place where the guests were feasted in Jiafu.

Halfway through, the sedan car suddenly stopped, and a woman's voice came from outside the sedan car.

"Dare to ask, the sedan chair is the grandson of the Pingbei Hou Mansion, Xu Gongzi, my old lady is invited, saying that I haven't seen you for a long time, the two families have good traffic, please go to the inner courtyard to celebrate together, no need to be with the male guests outside!"

Xu Muqiu thought, he was worried that he didn't have the opportunity to meet the ladies of Jiafu in the Red Mansion, after all, he was a foreign man, how could he casually enter and exit the backyard of Jiafu, but since he was invited by Mrs. Jia, it would be okay. I don't know what year is in the book? I don't know if Sister Lin has entered this Rongguo Mansion?

He responded, "If this is the case, then please lead the way." ”

The chariot walked slowly, and he looked out. I saw that there was not much difference between the pavilions, gardens, and pavilions of the Pingbei Hou Mansion, only a little more extravagant.

The difference is that Xu Lai, the old lady of the Xu family, is still there, his style has not been lost, and his military spirit has not diminished.

And Jiafu, who also started with military exploits, has been passed down to three generations, and the eldest patriarch Jia's mother is a person who likes pomp, and it is also a proper meaning for An Fugui to love extravagance.

After a while, Xu Muqiu felt that the sedan chair had landed and stopped, he opened the sedan curtain, and just wanted to get off the sedan chair, he saw a blue sedan chair next to him also slowly stop at this time.

Xu Muqiu looked over and saw that the sedan curtain was lifted slightly, first revealing a slender jade foot, gently touching the ground, and then taking a step on the jade leg, the person in the sedan chair revealed a graceful figure.

The person in the sedan chair also saw the sedan chair next to him and arrived in the backyard at the same time, and before he got off the sedan chair, he turned his head, as if he wanted to say hello to an acquaintance.

I saw that the two of them looked at each other, Xu Muqiu and the woman were both stunned, and their eyes showed the same surprise.

And in front of the two sedan chairs, the girl who was standing bent down, ready to greet the two, couldn't help laughing when she saw them so well.

The two of them, who were interrupted by laughter, couldn't help but restrain their expressions, and said at the same time: "Are you?!" ”

At this moment, Xu Muqiu's inner world seemed to stay at this second, his memory was rolling, and such a passage appeared in his mind.

"The two bends seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes are like crying and not crying; The sorrow of the two souls, the illness of the delicate body, the tears are dotted, and the delicate panting is slight; When it is quiet, it is like a beautiful flower shining on the water, and the action is like a weak willow supporting the wind; The heart is more than the dry, and the disease is like Xizi winning three points. ”

From the moment Xu Muqiu saw her, he had an answer in his heart, but he suppressed it, and he was about to blurt out three words!

Although the two of them spoke at the same time and asked the same question, the meaning was very different.

She asked him, "Are you?" ”

He replied for her: "You are - Lin Daiyu!" ”

After all, the lives of the two are just the first time they have met at this moment!
