At the climax of the moon, the Chu Mansion's birthday banquet has officially begun.
Tonight's birthday banquet had more than 300 tables and thousands of people, it was very lively.
After Ye Lingyue and Xi Yun separated, the birthday banquet began.
"Lingyue, come here and sit beside Ah Mu."
The old lady Chu's mood was not affected by the day, her face was full of smiles, and she signaled Ye Lingyue to sit on her right hand.
I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the old matriarch Chu, Ye Lingyue, who had always been humble in the Chu manor, actually sat with Chu Mu, the old matriarch, the Chu Qin family and others.
This table can be said to be the most beloved junior and the most honored guest of the old lady.
Prince Cangmang and Princess Fengfei, who hadn't shown up earlier, also came.
When Ye Lingyue arrived, there were only two places left on the table.
Behind him, a resentful gaze looked over.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ye Lingyue caught a glimpse of Ji Linlang sitting on a table not far away.
Ji Linlang hated Ye Lingyue from the bottom of her heart. Originally, that should be her position.
The old matriarch must have been annoyed by what happened to Master Zhao earlier, so he changed his seat. That bitch Ye Lingyue was really taken advantage of.
Thinking of this, Ji Linlang's teeth itch with hatred.
How did she know that Gou Hun Ming not only did not make Chu Mu fascinated by her, but caused such a big scandal.
Fortunately, the power of the soul-hunting inscription has disappeared.
Ye Lingyue glanced at the smiling Old Madam Chu, and dawdled for a while.
At this moment, he saw Emperor Xin walking over, and he sat down beside Chu Mu without asking any further questions.
Chu Mu was taken aback.
Prince Cangmang and Princess Fengfei were also taken aback, and a dozen or so eyes on the table looked at Emperor Xin together.
"Miss Lingyue, please sit beside me."
Xi Yun smiled, and she also took a seat at the main table, and there was still an empty seat beside her.
Ye Lingyue looked at Di Xin, but she saw Di Xin squint at her, and a mischievous look flashed in those phoenix eyes.
Ye Lingyue didn't know what the emperor meant.
Did he recognize her, or did he not recognize her
If he recognized her, why did he look at her so coldly earlier.
If you didn't recognize it, why did you help yourself twice and three times
Ye Lingyue was about to sit down with a belly full of doubts.
"Wait a minute, Ye Lingyue, you have lived in the Chu Mansion for many days, as a junior in the Chu Mansion, don't you even have a congratulatory gift for such a big event as the old matriarch's birthday?"
Chu Qin said mockingly.
Almost everyone who came to the birthday banquet tonight received a congratulatory gift.
Even the servants of the Chu Mansion raised money to build a golden statue for the old lady, but Ye Lingyue was empty-handed, which is unreasonable.
"Ma'am is right, I almost forgot about it. I have already prepared the old lady's gift."
After Ye Lingyue finished speaking, she took out a box and presented it.
"Ling Yue is one of my own, so why be so polite. The old man is so old, he has everything he should have. You will remember in the future, just come and talk to the old man more often."
Old Madam Chu smiled.
Ye Lingyue's life in the Chu Mansion was not easy.
I have also neglected her, her monthly salary is not much, and the gifts she prepared are not too expensive.
"Old Madam, I don't know what gift Miss Ye has prepared for you, why don't we all take a look together, so we can keep our eyes open."
Princess Fengfei accepted Ji Linlang's offer and said.
"this… "
The old lady pondered for a moment.
On the other side, Mrs. Chu Qin had already taken the box and opened it.
But I saw that there was only a small wooden sword in the box.
The wooden sword is no longer than half an arm's length, and it is not a rare spiritual wood.
On the wooden sword, several crooked inscriptions were engraved. At first glance, it looked like a child's play trick.
"Ye Lingyue, this is your birthday gift. You are so brave, you dare to send any rags to the old lady."
With a slap, Chu Qin threw the box on the table, her expression was ugly and she was very dissatisfied.
When Chu Mu looked at the sword, he also had a displeased look on his face.
"This wooden sword, could it be..."
The old lady Chu's expression changed drastically, and she picked up the wooden sword.
"This sword is the first inscription made by my ancestor Ye Min after he became an inscription master. I think the old lady must also recognize this sword."
Ye Lingyue smiled and said.
The matter of this wooden sword was discovered in Ye Min's letter.
According to the records in Ye Min's handbook, she carved two wooden swords after she became an inscriber.
One was kept for himself, and the other was given to Mrs. Chu.
The two people at that time were still unknown people, and they were as close as sisters to each other.
According to the manuscript, Ye Lingyue carved the wooden sword and engraved some inscriptions.
Sure enough, the old lady Chu was deeply moved after seeing the sword.
In this way, Ye Lingyue can implement the next plan smoothly.
"I know, I know, back then, Ye Min Shijie and I said that we would carry two wooden swords for thirty-three days in the future. The sword is here, and the person is here. It's a pity..."
The old matriarch touched the wooden sword and burst into tears.
The sword is still there, but the person is long gone.
"This is the most satisfying gift the old student has ever received, Ling Yue, you have a heart."
The old matriarch also knew that she had lost her composure, she put away her sword, her face was still full of regret.
For a strong person like Mrs. Chu, fame and fortune are already external objects, and what she cares most about is the memory of the past.
She and Ye Min met when they were poor and humble.
Many years later, the old lady Chu has achieved great success.
But she also lost a lot.
She was by her side, a person who flattered and flattered her for a long time, but there was no one who was willing to go hungry with herself, and spent days and nights polishing the lowest inscription for herself.
Chu Qinshi was embarrassed.
She didn't expect that a broken wooden sword would have such a deep connection.
But Ye Lingyue, this damn girl, is much smarter than she expected, and she also knows how to attack the mind.
Seeing the appearance of the old lady, I can't wait to marry her and Ah Mu immediately.
For Ah Mu, she must strike first.
After Ye Lingyue sent congratulatory gifts, other juniors of the Chu family also presented congratulatory gifts one after another.
The old lady accepted them all with a smile.
"Taijun, the Qin family has something to mention."
After drinking for three rounds, I saw Mrs. Chu Qin standing up.
The old lady of Chu has lived for more than ten thousand years, and the younger generations of the Chu family have passed a hundred generations. Except for her children's generation, all subsequent generations call themselves surnames in front of her.
"Qin, what's the matter with you, but you say you have no defense."
The old lady drank a few glasses of wine, and there was a hint of alcohol on her face.
"In the past few days, accidents have occurred one after another in the inner courtyard. Qin believes that they need to rectify them to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future."
What Chu Qin said was exactly the death of the steward and Zhou Xiong that happened earlier.
Even though the Old Madam Chu ordered not to spread the matter, the whole Chu family was still panicked and very restless.
