She closed the list, got up and said, "Okay, when the time comes, you will send it to Qin Mu and Qin Gongzi according to these." ”

Dou Lianyi took Bai Zhi to the warehouse, and when she opened the door, she suddenly thought of something, so she turned her head sideways and asked: "I remember that Mrs. Lu's birthday is two weeks away, isn't there anyone who mentions it?" ”

"In previous years, it was all done by you, young lady, it is estimated that the young master will come to invite you to come forward in the next few days," Bai Zhi cautiously glanced at Dou Lianyi's face before continuing to ask: "What kind of congratulatory gift does the young lady want to prepare for the old lady this year?" ”

Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet, wasn't that the time when she was hurt by that pair of dog men and women in her previous life and lost face in front of everyone?

"There's a white crane rank immortal peach screen there, the meaning is not bad, that's it."

Dou Lianyi lowered his eyes, didn't look at it, and directly raised his hand and pointed to the left hand side casually, where there happened to be an ivory screen, small and exquisite.

The peach is inlaid with countless mica and enamel, which shines in the light.

And an extremely expensive South China Sea ruby is embellished on the eyes of the white crane, as gorgeous as blood.

"Okay young lady."

Bai Zhi stayed outside the warehouse, while Dou Lianyi walked in alone.

She stood in front of the small and delicate screen, a little dazed.

In the previous life, she prepared this congratulatory gift for Mrs. Lu, but because she was not the slightest precaution against Lu Lianzhi, she found an opportunity to sneak into the warehouse and destroy the screen.

At that time, so many guests at the birthday banquet, the moment Dou Lianyi lifted the red cloth, they all saw this eyeless white crane holding a dull and bare peach.

Dou Lianyi closed his eyes suddenly, and his ears seemed to be echoing the crying and chirping sound of Lu Lianzhi hiding behind Lu Shangxuan.

"This is my mother's birthday banquet, sister-in-law, aren't you scolding your mother for having no eyes through the white crane?"

"And this peach is also withered in color, and there is no fairy spirit at all, sister-in-law, you are too much!"

The heart-wrenching accusations one after another did not give Dou Lianyi any chance to defend herself, even if she didn't know what was going on, she was still slapped hard by Lu Shangxuan with a black face in front of the public and fell to the ground.

Old Madam Lu didn't say a word, her face was gloomy and she left, and all the guests also said goodbye.

And she later knelt outside Mrs. Lu's courtyard for a day and a night, and was not allowed to return to her room until she fainted.

"Is the young lady in there?"

"Yes, young master, but young master, you can't go in."

"Get out of the way, you dare to stop me if I want to go in? Be careful that I kick you out of the county king's mansion! ”

At this time, several quarrels suddenly sounded outside the warehouse, interrupting Dou Lianyi's memories, and she slowly opened her eyes, the bloodshot under her eyes looked a little shocking.

"Who do you want to drive out of the county king's mansion?"

Dou Lianyi closed the door of the warehouse with his backhand, and then stood on the steps and looked at Lu Shangxuan condescendingly, and asked in a cold tone.

Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful, he thought that he could follow in and take a look.

"Lianniang, I have something important to discuss with you, but you have been refusing to see me for the past few days, and I was stopped outside the courtyard by these subordinates, and I was very anxious, so I thought about ......"

She was interrupted by Dou Lianyi in the middle of her words, she lowered her eyes, and said with some disgust: "I asked them to stop me, I've been unwell these days and don't want to see people, just say something you want." ”

At this time, Yuzhu finally got rid of the mothers-in-law who were pestering him, and hurriedly ran over.

Bai Zhi secretly glanced at her, and the two stepped aside in amusement.

"Mother's birthday is coming, this year's birthday banquet is still the same for you, no problem, right?"

Dou Lianyi was noncommittal, but suddenly asked, "On the day of the birthday banquet, my sister-in-law will also come, right?" ”

Lu Shangxuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhi'er is also a mother's child, she will definitely come on her mother's birthday, why are you so stingy, you don't have any tolerance at all!" ”

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi didn't laugh angrily, "Lu Shangxuan, you have the capacity to tolerate people, so why can't you even tolerate your own knotted wife, so you have to put me to death?!" ”

These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Lu Shangxuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Could it be that the matter of the Lantern Festival that night was revealed!

It's impossible, he has obviously arranged it seamlessly, it must be Dou Lianyi who is deceiving himself!

Just when Lu Shangxuan was thinking nonsense, Dou Lianyi himself reacted.

She swept away the anger between her eyebrows, and was a little annoyed that she couldn't control her emotions just now, exposing the hatred of the previous life, in case Lu Shangxuan saw that something was wrong, it would be troublesome.

"What do you mean by putting you to death, I just didn't find you in time, Lianniang, you can't talk nonsense like this!"

It's just that Lu Shangxuan had a trace of panic on his face that he didn't have time to hide, and he inexplicably mentioned the Lantern Festival, which made Dou Lianyi feel a little strange.

"Forget it, it must be that day that Lianniang you haven't recovered yet, it's normal to talk nonsense, you better go back to the house to recuperate, don't go out if you're fine."

Lu Shangxuan didn't dare to stay here any longer, so after he threw down this sentence, he left in a hurry.

And Dou Lianyi frowned, thinking of what Qin Mu casually mentioned to him at that time.

"The smell on this lotus lantern is a little strange, I seem to have seen it in some ancient book, but unfortunately it has drifted away with the water, and I can't study it carefully."

Thinking of the time when he squatted by the moat that day was not long after, but his legs and feet were numb inexplicably, and everything was connected together, which made Dou Lianyi suddenly understand.

She looked at Lu Shangxuan's distant back, her face was like ice, and she clenched her fingers tightly.

Good for you, Lu Shangxuan!

You've been killing me so early!

Two weeks later.

The back garden of the county king's mansion has been decorated with flowers, and various varieties of chrysanthemums are placed next to the stone path leading to the chrysanthemum pavilion, and every guest who walks through it is full of praise.

The place where the birthday banquet is held is in the Juyue Pavilion, the pavilion is built with the lake, and the willows on both sides of the lake are fluttering, which has a graceful charm.

Dou Lianyi listened to the situation reported by the chief housekeeper from time to time, and he was constantly calculating the time in his heart.

Soon, the guests had already arrived one after another, and they handed the invitations and congratulatory gifts they received to the second housekeeper at the door, and walked in one after another in the loud registration of the second housekeeper.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Shangxuan greeted the guests in the hall, and after a few words of greeting, a maid took them to the Juyue Pavilion to sit down.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you greet the guests with your brother? Could it be that my brother refused? ”

It was this familiar provocative tone again, and Dou Lianyi knew that it was Lu Lianzhi as soon as he heard it.
