On November 12, Mrs. Jiang's 60th birthday. The Jiang family invited all relatives and friends to the birthday banquet this time, and the Han family was naturally among them. This time to attend the birthday banquet of the old lady, the Qiu family was almost out of the family, except for the old lady. The five girls, from Yuru to Yurong, are all dressed up, of course, Qiu Yanfu is also indispensable.
Qiu Yanfu also took great pains to select everything from clothes to jewelry for this banquet.
When I went to the banquet this time, there were two people in a carriage, and Yuxi and Yuchen were sitting in the same carriage. As soon as Yuxi got on the carriage, she saw the box carved with this primitive pattern on the carriage. After sitting down, she smiled and asked, "Is this a gift my sister prepared for my grandmother?" Since last year, Yuchen has given it away. The old lady is preparing for this year's birthday ceremony.
Yuchen nodded and said, "Yes."
Yuxi knew what the gift Yuchen was going to give, and said, "The third sister took a lot of effort to give this gift. Grandma will love it when she knows it."
Yuchen smiled and said, "I borrowed your good words." Yuchen didn't ask Yuxi what gift he prepared, and she knew that the gift from Yuxi was certainly not brilliant but it would not be justified.
Yuxi said with certainty: "No matter what the third sister gave, my grandmother will like it." Mrs. Jiang treats Yuchen as an eyeball, and she loves it even if she sends a copy of the Buddhist scriptures.
Yuchen smiled and talked about another thing: "A few days ago, my eldest aunt invited a matchmaker to propose marriage for my second cousin. Do you know about this fourth sister?"
Yuxi was very surprised: "When did it happen? I haven't heard Xinrong talk about it. Third sister, is the marriage settled?"
Seeing that Yuxi’s expression did not seem to be false, Yuchen felt relieved, shook his head and said: "The two had already said something, but I don’t know why Duan suddenly repented, and refused on the grounds that the second cousin and the girl were incompatible. This marriage, I don’t know where I went on a business trip?"
Yuxi said, "My second cousin is very good at learning and character. I don't have to worry about finding a better girl than Xinrong's sister. But Xinrong didn't even mention such a big thing to me." After speaking, Yuxi revealed Depressed look.
Yuchen laughed: "This marriage hasn't been settled, how can Girl Duan mention it to you!" Under normal circumstances, the family and friends are only notified after the marriage has been fixed. This is also a worry in case the unpaired reputation will be damaged, and it will be detrimental to the future. Yuxi thought about it, nodded and said, "The third sister is right."
When approaching Pingqing Hou’s Mansion, Yuchen suddenly said to Yuxi: “Today’s banquet and the Lord Shou County will also go, you avoid her, don’t talk to her too much.”
Yuxi knows Yuchen, it's okay, Yuchen will never say something like this: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with County Lord Shou?"
Yuchen didn’t know how to say it. He hesitated, pressed to Yuxi’s ear, and said in a voice that Yuxi heard: "The Lord of Heshou County is acting too weird. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Avoid her." Heshou county owner has been in the limelight for more than half a year. First, he made some food that he had never seen before and opened a pastry shop; then he made a lot of ice to sell on the market; and then what did he sell? Women’s sanitary napkins; recently opened a clothing store. The clothes designed are novel and beautiful. They are very popular with ladies in the capital. The clothing store is full of customers. Two days ago, she heard about the development of Heshou County. The rare perfume and rouge come out... The total amount of zero and zero is always added up, and there is no doubt that there is something wrong with the Lord of Shou County.
The reason why Yuchen didn't say that Heshou County Lord was possessed by dirty things was because Heshou County Lord was the princess's daughter, and she was loved by the nobles of the palace. If she said this, she would definitely offend a lot.
Yuxi opened her mouth wide, and then hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands to avoid making any noise. After a long time, Yuxi whispered: "Third sister, don't worry, I will avoid it carefully. I can't avoid it, and I won't have a close relationship with her." Yuxi is very lucky now that she used to be cautious before, and if not, she would have been caught. People found something abnormal.
Speaking of it, Yuxi is indeed very lucky. After she recovered from her illness, she actually changed quite a lot. No one doubted. One is that people who experience life and death often change their temperament, but there are big and small, Yuxi belongs to the middle range; Hee was still young at the time, and the child’s temperament at a young age was uncertain. In addition, Yuxi became well-behaved and sensible after he recovered from illness, which made people happy and distressed. After Sanlai Yuxi was reborn, he did not act too outrageously, although he said that he arranged for Fang’s mother. There is something unusual about business and other things, but she only started these things, and she didn't do the specific operations, nor did she take care of them. What Yuxi did was within the scope of everyone's acceptance, but he was different from the Lord Shou. One had not experienced life and death, and the other was that he acted too high-profile and outrageous for no one to doubt.
When the group arrived at Pingqinghou's Mansion, a woman who was specially waiting here greeted them and led them to the room.
Mrs. Jiang is wearing a dark red silver thread embroidered five blessings longevity jacket, wearing a round bun, an emerald jewel knot, and two buns with swelling silver hair. She is smiling and sitting on the red sandalwood armchair at the top. On the left and right, there were several women in brocade clothes and beautiful clothes, all with pearly heads, joking and laughing with her, and several girls sitting around on the embroidered piers and making fun.
When Yuchen and his party entered the room, everyone's eyes fell on them.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Yuchen with a joyful expression on her face: "Girl Chen is here, come over to my grandmother."
Yuchen did not go directly, but took Yuxi and the others to kneel on the mat that the maid had taken, knocked three heads to Mrs. Jiang, and said, "I wish my grandmother a blessing in the East China Sea and a longevity."
Yuxi really didn't want to kneel down and kowtow, but there was no way. According to the law, Mrs. Jiang was also her grandmother, and she couldn't avoid it since she came here.
Old Mrs. Jiang smiled so hard that she could not see her teeth: "Good, good, good."
After finishing the big gift, Yuchen presented the gift he had prepared. Before Mrs. Jiang spoke, Jiang Xin tilted her head and said innocently: "Cousin Yuchen, what gift do you prepare for grandma? Let us all open our eyes?"
When Jiang Yi, the eldest of the Jiang family, heard these words, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face. My sister loves Yuchen because of her disagreement with her grandmother and father. She doesn't deal with Yuchen on weekdays.
Upon seeing this, Yuxi smiled and said, "In order to prepare a pleasant gift for my grandmother, my third sister started preparations last year. First, she sent people to Yunnan to buy raw materials, and then sent them to Jiangnan to ask skilled craftsmen to carve them. It took two years. Kung Fu is only accomplished."
Yuxi's words aroused everyone's curiosity. Old Madam Jiang knew that she couldn't avoid it under such circumstances, so she simply asked the maid to open the box.
As soon as the box was opened, everyone's eyes almost flashed blind. In the box is a Moyu Guanyin. This Guanyin is rich in color, fine texture, smooth lines, and lifelike.
Mrs. Taining Hou praised: "The third girl of Han is really filial." Mo Yu is very valuable. Such a Mo Yu Guanyin is so valuable that it can be a family heirloom.
Yuxi had a completely different idea. Yuchen gave Mrs. Jiang such a good gift this time. Next time, when their grandmother celebrates her 60th birthday, I don't know what Yuchen should give again. It is not easy to find a good thing higher than this Moyu Guanyin.
Old Mrs. Jiang took Yuchen to her side, and said lovingly, "My granddaughter has always been extremely filial."
Dingguo’s wife, Sun’s eyes moved slightly, and she smiled and said, “The third girl is so outstanding, and I don’t know who will be the lucky one in the future.” Her grandson is about the same age as the third girl. Girl Han San, she has no worries about food and clothing all her life.
Yu Chen quickly lowered his head, looking ashamed.
Old Mrs. Jiang said in four rounds: "The child is still young, and I plan to stay for two more years. I won't be too late to talk about the marriage in a few years!"
Adults speak, there is no place for children to interrupt. Yuxi stood beside Qiu's honestly, without looking at him. Now that the house is full of people, Yuxi doesn't dare to make any changes in front of these people, he will be ashamed by that time.
Just saying this, the maid outside said: "Old lady, madam, and the county lord of Shou are here."
Yuxi thought very keenly that as soon as the maid's words fell, the expressions of some of the ladies moved slightly, and they wouldn't be able to see them if they didn't observe them carefully.
As soon as Heshou County Lord appeared, Yuxi's expression was a little subtle. The lord of Heshou County wore a purple palace dress with a pink shawl, showing a delicate and elegant figure. There was a green hosta in the bun, and a little tassels fluttered with the wind, which looked extremely charming.
Yuxi glanced at Qiu's, and saw Qiu's brow furrowed, and she lowered her head. The Lord Shou County is different from her, even if she is so publicized that she is taboo, but she has a special identity, and no one dares to peck at her. But she is different, as long as there is a little bit of a difference, she may die without a place to bury her, and even have to frustrate her bones and ashes.
The host of Heshou County gave Mrs. Jiang a junior gift and said two more congratulations. He is a royal family member of Shou County, and it is already a lot of face to give the old lady the gift of the younger generation.
Old Mrs. Jiang said two polite remarks, then turned around and said to Jiang Yi: "Take the county lord down." After speaking, he said to Yuchen: "Chen'er, you also take your sisters!" Mrs. Jiang These words are completely treating Yuchen as his own child.
The people present were all human beings, and after hearing this, it was hard to avoid thinking. However, these have nothing to do with Yuxi.
When he walked out of the house, Yuxi felt that his breathing became much smoother. Although she is not nervous, there are so many people in the house and it is very boring.
The weather was not good on this day. Although there were no dark clouds, it was gray and it was naturally impossible to go to the garden. Jiang Yi led Heshou County Lord to a quiet and elegant yard. The main hall and room of the yard were full of tables and chairs. Fruit cakes were placed on the tables and chairs. The arrangement was very proper.
