Inside the General's Palace.

Shao Yifei cleaned up well, replaced some old things with new ones, and brought in a few potted plants such as pines and cypresses, elms, etc., and even those lanterns that had only been used for two years were replaced.

It turned out that all this was done to welcome Shao Yifei's grandmother, Li Tingchen, an old lady with a strong temperament and born into a famous family, she returned to the General's Mansion because Shao Yifei, as her grandson, planned to organize her 80th birthday. The Li family is a famous nobleman in the previous dynasty, Li Tingchen is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the former dynasty, she married Shao Taiwei, and the children born are even more outstanding, Shao Lan, Shao Qi, and Shao Yan are all pillars of the country.

Speaking of this, Taiwei Shao is also an upright temperament, and he has always assisted the Emperor with all his heart. Empress Taishang came to die suddenly, and Taiwei Shao was also depressed, always lamenting some heroic deeds of the Taishang.

And Mrs. Shao also watched Shao Yifei grow up, and under the influence of Mrs. Shao, Shao Yifei also had the heart to serve the court. Taiwei Shao saw that his grandson was young and promising and became a general, and he was naturally very pleased.

It's just that not long after the good days, Taiwei Shao died of an illness. Naturally, this disease is also very strange. Shao Taiwei has always had a friendship with King Rong before his death, and he has always played chess with him before his death. When he died, King Rong cried again, and specially sent the imperial doctor to see him, and the imperial doctor said that he died of a myocardial infarction.

As soon as Taiwei Shao died, Shao Yifei's grandmother took on the heavy responsibility. And his grandmother was not an ordinary person. She also has a strict attitude towards her son's education, and her son and grandson are also very competitive. On the one hand, it has to do with her education. On the other hand, they continue the excellent bloodline of the Shao family.

Shao Lan holds the official position of a civil official, Shao Yan holds the official position of a general who protects the country, Shao Yan is the secretary of the ministry, and Shao Yifei is not very old, but he is already a hussar general in the court! How not to be envied! Everyone said that Li Tingchen taught well, and he was very good-natured, and it became a good story for a while.

And before Mrs. Li came over, there was already a lot of discussion in the general's mansion.

Bai Qiuyue asked Hua Chen: "What kind of person is Mrs. Tai?" ”

Hua Chen said seriously to Bai Qiuyue: "Mrs. Tai is in good spirits, although she is eighty years old, but she still has a sharp eye, she originally lived with the master, but later after the general's biological mother, Mrs. Guanhua, accidentally fell into the water and died, she moved out, thinking that Mrs. Qin is an ominous person, she has always been very good to the general's biological mother, but Mrs. Guanhua is famous, in fact, she can't get used to Mrs. Qin, you know, Mrs. Qin originally had a marriage contract, but because of a banquet attended by the master, fell in love with Mrs. Qin, who also participated in the banquet, and the two came together regardless of the world, and Mrs. Qin has always made Mrs. Tai unaccustomed to it! This is something that everyone in the General's Mansion knows! ”

"Oh, I see!" Bai Qiuyue muttered, in fact, her heart was happy, wasn't the person Mrs. Tai didn't like the same person she hated? That's fine, there's a good show to watch.

But Mrs. Tai's birthday, she mentally thought that it was a part of her heart to prepare a gift for Mrs. Tai, which was also a blessing to the elders as a junior.

So, in the evening, he said to Shao Yifei seriously: "Let's go and choose a gift for Mrs. Tai tomorrow!" ”

So accompanied by Shao Yifei, Bai Qiuyue looked at a lot of gifts from the shops, none of which could enter her eyes, until she saw a jade Ruyi in the shop that belonged to the best in terms of color and style, and saw that the style of one end of the jade Ruyi was the style of Ganoderma lucidum, slightly glowing with lustre, and the feeling was as smooth as a child's skin, and the jade Ruyi was simply praised! It is unique among the many gifts, and the shopkeeper of that store also praised Bai Qiuyue: "Your vision is really good!" This jade ruyi in our store is the treasure of the town store! ”

As soon as it was mentioned that it was the treasure of the town store, Bai Qiuyue mentally thought that this jade Ruyi must be priceless! However, Shao Yifei was very generous, and said he bought it without saying a word!

The shopkeeper of this shop smiled happily and happily packed them in a distinguished gift box! After Shao Yifei paid the money, he took Bai Qiuyue's hand and got into a sedan chair and went home.

After the two got off the sedan chair, they saw Wen Yingqian practicing dance steps in the courtyard, Bai Qiuyue noticed that her hairstyle was very beautiful, although it was exuding, it was not messy at all, her hair close to her ears was braided and hung down in her ears, and fresh flowers just picked from the garden hung down between her temples, only a simple hairpin was used in her hair, and simple makeup had her own charm, she was wearing bright red clothes, and when she raised her water sleeves, it was like a gorgeous flower blooming in summer, and she was blooming with her vigorous vitality! The little maid in purple clothes on the side, Zi Xuan, stood aside, clapped her hands, and said with a smile: "Madame is really wonderful! ”

Seeing Shao Yifei and Bai Qiuyue, she immediately made a gesture, "See the general and Aunt Bai!" ”

Shao Yifei hurriedly asked her to get up, he glanced at the maid in front of him, and knew from Zhao's mother that she was a new little maid called Zixuan, only to see that this maid had a pair of very smart eyes, delicate and lovely, and very full of youthful vitality.

Wen Yingqian heard the movement, she also stopped moving, and came to Shao Yifei's face, she has never looked at Wen Yingqian well these days, when I saw it today, I only felt that her slight powder was different from the strong makeup on weekdays, with a little freshness and refinement, the eyes flowed, this hairstyle and this posture complemented each other, and a face looked more and more charming against the backdrop of this shape! Shao Yifei's trance was seen by Wen Yingqian, and she knew that her dress was successful! She asked Zixuan to design makeup for her, but she didn't expect that girl to really have a hand!

However, Shao Yifei remembered such a charming face, but his heart was so vicious, he hid a trace of heartbeat in his heart, and said coldly to Wen Yingqian: "Grandmother will come to the house in a few days!" How can you still have the heart to dance your dance! ”

"Brother Yifei, do you know, I am preparing a birthday dance for my grandmother, since I learned that my grandmother is coming to the house, I can't sleep every night, I specially choreographed a dance for her, danced on her birthday, and wished her a happy birthday! Yo, the gift you picked is quite expensive from the perspective of the packaging! Can you give me a closer look? Wen Yingqian noticed a valuable box in the little girl's hand, so she said to Shao Yifei.

"I can show you!" Shao Yifei then ordered the little servant to open the box, as soon as the box was opened, Wen Yingqian's expression changed, the jade Ruyi was transparent in color, shining like water in the sun, and the whole jade Ruyi revealed a noble and elegant feeling, which made people feel that they couldn't take their eyes off, not to mention that Mrs. Tai wouldn't like it, she would like it! Wouldn't this Bai Qiuyue be even more likable! She hid her loneliness and jealousy a little, and praised her: "It's really good!" My sister is really discerning! ”

Bai Qiuyue knew that she was not praising from the bottom of her heart, so she naturally responded politely, while Zi Xuan, who was on the side, widened her eyes in surprise, and said with a smile: "General, Aunt Bai, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful object when I'm so old!" Bai Qiuyue sneered in her heart, this maid really said that her mouth was like honey, she just glanced at Zi Xuan with a smile, and then looked at her, Bai Qiuyue's gaze made Zi Fei a little embarrassed.

Shao Yifei didn't notice this, so he said to Bai Qiuyue and Wen Yingqian: "Qiuyue, Qianqian, grandmother's birthday banquet is handled in the General's Mansion, so some matters are troublesome for you and Qianqian!" So it's going to take some effort on your part! ”

"That's natural, it's our blessing to be able to organize a birthday banquet for my grandmother, so when will my grandmother arrive at the mansion?" Wen Yingqian's tone was a little happy, she was actually very sure in her heart to leave a good impression on her grandmother.

"If you're going to be there, you'll be able to get to the mansion this evening!" Shao Yifei also replied.

A few people couldn't wait to see their grandmother.

And unlike the joy and anticipation of several people, one person was particularly depressed.

In Mrs. Qin's bedroom.

She was dressing up, and she couldn't help but sigh in the mirror that her face was getting old, "Chunyu, I don't understand why there are some gray hairs in my hair, you get rid of those gray hairs in my hair, I look at it as an eyesore." ”

The maid Chunyu did so, although she had been comforting Mrs. Qin that she was not old, but Mrs. Qin still felt that her years had passed, remembering the day when Bai Qiuyue mocked her for being old, she couldn't help but lament that time was unforgiving, she was very afraid that wrinkles would crawl on her face, like worms, devouring her face little by little, and then devouring her heart little by little.

Because Mrs. Tai was coming, she was panicked in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of the past that made her sad. Mrs. Tai blamed the death of Shao Yifei's biological mother Zhao Guanhua on her, thinking that she was an ominous person, so she has been discriminated against by Mrs. Tai over the years, and because of her existence, she also deliberately moved out to live.

Mrs. Tai's return made her heart flustered. She remembered that Mrs. Tai liked to eat chestnut cakes, so out of filial piety to her, Mrs. Tai changed her opinion of herself, so she specially went to prepare chestnut cakes herself. I hope to do my best to make Mrs. Tai like me. Although this is difficult, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

When Mrs. Tai came to the General's Mansion, it was ten in the evening, and she heard a voice from the servant: "Welcome Mrs. Tai!" "Shao Yan, Qin, Shao Yifei, Bai Qiuyue, and Wen Yingqian, who were standing at the door, had been waiting for a long time.

I saw Mrs. Tai on crutches made of red sandalwood, out of the gorgeous sedan chair, her appearance is graceful and luxurious, with gold hairpin jewelry on her head, wearing a splendid dress embroidered with flower and bird patterns, the whole popularity is extraordinary, although she is eighty years old, but her ears and eyes are bright, and her smile is very amiable, but the whole person is very aura, and she looks like the style of a young lady born in a big family! Her personal maid Bihe, who came out of the sedan chair behind her, hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Shao Yan and the others hurriedly greeted him, when Mrs. Tai greeted everyone, tears welled up, I haven't seen my grandson for a long time, naturally I miss it, I was going to come to attend my grandson's wedding, but because I was not feeling well during that time, I have been recuperating and resting at home, she also misses her grandson very much, and since her condition has improved, she has been talking about coming to see Shao Yifei!

When the Qin clan stepped forward, Mrs. Tai's eyes just swept over cursoryly, and she just took a brief look, which made the Qin clan a little bored. And when she saw Wen Yingqian and Bai Qiuyue, she smiled, and Wen Yingqian and Bai Qiuyue hurriedly shouted affectionately: "Grandmother! ”

"You're so good! The first time I saw you, my grandmother didn't prepare anything, so she prepared some things for each of you, and asked Bihe to give them to you later! Mrs. Tai smiled warmly and held their hands, Bai Qiuyue and Wen Yingqian also hurriedly said words of thanks, this old lady was even more kind than Bai Qiuyue imagined!

"We also have a gift for my grandmother! Just now there is no rush to you! Waiting for a big surprise for you on the day of your birthday party! Wen Yingqian is very coquettish, which makes Mrs. Tai smile.

Mrs. Tai said again and again: "Okay! Good! I'm looking forward to it! I heard that my birthday banquet is also organized by you, and I am full of joy for you! "

So, Mrs. Tai was supported by Wen Yingqian with one hand and Bai Qiuyue with the other, and entered the house affectionately. I want to have a good chat with them.
