On November 12, Mrs. Jiang celebrated her 60th birthday. The Jiang family invited all their relatives and friends to the birthday banquet this time, and the Han family was naturally among them.

This time to participate in the old lady's birthday banquet, almost the whole family of the Qiu family went out, except for the old lady. The five girls, from Yuru to Yurong, are all dressed up, and of course, Qiu Yanfu is also indispensable.

Qiu Yanfu also took great pains for this banquet, from clothes to jewelry, everything was carefully selected.

This time I went to the banquet, two people in a carriage, and Yuxi and Yuchen sat in the same carriage. As soon as Yuxi got into the carriage, he saw the box carved with this simple pattern on the carriage, and after sitting down, he asked with a smile: "This is a gift that my sister prepared for my grandmother, right?" Since last year, Yuchen has been preparing for this year's birthday gift for the old lady.

Yuchen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yuxi knew what Yuchen was going to give and said, "The third sister has spent a lot of time on this gift, and my grandmother will definitely like it when she knows about it." ”

Yuchen smiled: "I borrowed your auspicious words." Yuchen didn't ask Yuxi what gifts to prepare, and she didn't need to ask her to know that the gifts given by Yuxi would definitely not be brilliant but would not make people pick out the reason.

Yuxi said with certainty: "No matter what the third sister gives, my grandmother will like it." "Mrs. Jiang treats Yuchen as an eyeball, even if she sends a volume of copied Buddhist scriptures, Mrs. Jiang will like it.

Yuchen smiled and said another thing: "A few days ago, the eldest aunt invited the matchmaker to go to the Duan family for the second cousin, do you know about the fourth sister?"

Yuxi was very surprised: "When did it happen? I haven't heard Xinrong talk about it." Third sister, has the family matter been decided?"

Yuchen saw that Yuxi's expression didn't look like a fake, his heart was relieved, he shook his head and said: "Originally, the two of them had already agreed, but I don't know why the Duan family suddenly repented and rejected this family business on the grounds that the second cousin and the Duan family girl did not agree, and I don't know where the business trip was?"

Yuxi said: "The second cousin has excellent talent and character, and I don't have to worry about finding a better girl than Sister Xinrong." But Xinrong didn't even mention such a big thing to me. After speaking, Yuxi showed a depressed expression.

Yuchen smiled: "This family matter has not been decided, how can Miss Duan mention it to you!" Under normal circumstances, relatives and friends are only informed after the marriage is decided. This is also worried that if it does not happen, it will damage the reputation and will be detrimental to the future.

Yuxi thought about it, nodded and said, "The third sister is right. ”

When he arrived at the Pingqing Marquis Mansion, Yuchen suddenly said to Yuxi: "Today's banquet and the lord of Shou County will also go, you avoid her, don't talk to her more." ”

Yuxi knew Yuchen, and Yuchen would never say such a thing: "What's wrong?

Yuchen didn't know what to say, hesitated, put his ear close to Yuxi's ear, and said in a voice that Yuxi heard: "The county lord of Heshou is acting too weirdly, there must be a demon when things go wrong, be safe, you better avoid her." "The county lord of Heshou has been in the limelight for more than half a year, first he made some food that has never appeared before, opened a pastry shop, and then made a large amount of ice to sell in the market; then sold a special sanitary napkin for women; not long ago, he opened a ready-to-wear store, and the clothes designed are novel and beautiful, and they are very popular with the nobles in the capital, and the ready-to-wear store is overcrowded; two days ago, she heard that the lord of Heshou county has developed a rare perfume and rouge...... The sum of zero and zero is not to suspect that something is wrong with the lord of Shou County.

The reason why Yuchen didn't say that the county lord of Heshou was possessed by dirty things was also because the county lord of Heshou was the princess's daughter, and she was loved by the nobles of the palace, if she said this, she would definitely offend a large area.

Yuxi opened her mouth wide, and then quickly covered her mouth with both hands to prevent the sound from coming out. After a long time, Yuxi whispered: "Third sister, don't worry, I will be careful to avoid it." I can't avoid it, and I won't have a deep friendship with her. "Yuxi is extremely glad now, she used to be cautious, otherwise she would have been discovered to be abnormal.

Speaking of Yuxi is indeed very lucky, she actually changed a lot after she got well, everyone did not doubt it, first, people who have experienced life and death often have changes in temperament, but there are big and small, Yuxi belongs to the middle range; second, Yuxi was still young at the time, the child was young and undecided, and Yuxi became well-behaved and sensible after she recovered from her illness, which made people happy and distressed; Third, Yuxi did not act too out of line after she was reborn, although it was a little abnormal to arrange Fang's mother to do business, but she only started these things, and the specific operation was not done by her, nor was she taken care of it。 What Yuxi did was within the scope of everyone's acceptance, but it was different from the county lord of Shou, first, he had not experienced life and death, and second, he acted too high-profile and too out of line, which was not suspicious.

When the group arrived at the Pingqing Marquis's Mansion, they were immediately greeted by a mother-in-law who was waiting here and led them to the upper room.

Mrs. Jiang was wearing a dark red silver thread embroidered Wufu longevity jacket, combing a round bun, hairpins with emerald gemstone knots, and her silver hair bulging, and she was sitting on the rosewood circle chair at the top with a smile. On the left and right, several women in brocade clothes and beaded hair were laughing with her, and several girls were sitting around on the embroidery pier and making fun.

As soon as Yuchen and his party entered the house, everyone's eyes fell on them.

Old Madam Jiang looked at Yuchen with a happy look on her face: "Miss Chen is here, come over to grandmother's side." ”

Yuchen didn't go over directly, but took Yuxi and the others to kneel on the mat that the maid had taken, kowtowed to Mrs. Jiang three times, and said loudly: "I wish my grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

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 since she came, she couldn't avoid it.

Old Madam Jiang smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "Good, good, good." ”

After the ceremony, Yuchen presented the gift he had prepared. Before Old Madam Jiang could speak, Jiang Xin tilted her head and said with an innocent expression: "Cousin Yuchen, what kind of gift did you prepare for your grandmother?

Jiang Yi, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, heard this, and her face showed a trace of helplessness. Because my sister didn't hurt Yuchen because her grandmother and father were biased, she didn't deal with Yuchen on weekdays, but she didn't expect to be disrespectful at her grandmother's birthday banquet.

Seeing this, Yuxi smiled and said, "In order to prepare a gift for my grandmother, the third sister has been preparing since last year. First, he sent people to Yunnan to buy raw materials, and then sent them to Jiangnan to ask skilled craftsmen to carve them, which took two years of hard work. ”

Yuxi's words made everyone curious. Old Madam Jiang knew that she couldn't avoid it in this situation, so she simply asked the maid to open the box.

As soon as the box was opened, everyone's eyes almost went blind. Inside the box is a black jade Guanyin, this Guanyin is heavy and greasy, with fine texture, smooth lines, and lifelike.

Mrs. Taining Hou exclaimed: "Miss Han San is really filial piety. "Moyu is already worth a lot of money, such a Moyu Guanyin is worth a lot of money, and it can be used as a family heirloom.

Yuxi has a completely different idea, Yuchen gave Mrs. Jiang such a good gift this time, and next time they wait for their grandmother's sixtieth birthday, I don't know what gift Yuchen should give. It is not easy to find something higher than this black jade Guanyin.

Old Madam Jiang pulled Yuchen to her side and said with a loving face: "My granddaughter has always been extremely filial. ”

Duchess Sun of Dingguo's eyes moved slightly, and said with a smile: "The third girl is so outstanding, and I don't know who will have this blessing in the future." "Her grandson is the same age as Miss Han San, if she lets her great-grandson marry Miss Han San, she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Yuchen hurriedly lowered his head, looking shy.

Mrs. Jiang said in a hurry: "The child is still young, I plan to stay for two more years, and it will not be too late to talk about the marriage in a few years!"

Adults talk, no children interject. Yuxi stood honestly beside Qiu's side, and his eyes didn't look around. Now that the house is full of human spirits, Yuxi doesn't dare to make any changes in front of these people, and he will be embarrassed when the time comes.

Just as he was saying this, the maid outside said, "Old lady, madam, the county lord of Heshou has arrived." ”

Yuxi was very keenly aware that as soon as the maid's words fell, the faces of several ladies moved slightly, and they couldn't see it at all if they didn't observe it carefully.

As soon as the county lord of Heshou appeared, Yuxi's expression was a little subtle. The lord of Heshou County wore a purple palace dress, covered with a pink shawl, showing a delicate figure, and an emerald green hosta was inserted in the bun, with a little tassel floating lightly in the wind, which looked extremely charming.

Yuxi glanced at Qiu's family, and saw Qiu's brows furrowed, and she lowered her head. The county lord of Heshou 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 her. But she is different, as long as there is a little difference, she may die without a place to be buried, and even have to be broken and ashes.

The county lord of Heshou gave Mrs. Jiang a junior salute and said two more congratulatory words. The lord of Heshou County is a royal prince, and it is already very face-saving to give the old lady a junior gift.

Old Madam Jiang said a few polite words, and then turned to Jiang Yi and said, "Take the county lord down." After speaking, he said to Yuchen: "Chen'er, you can also take your sisters!" Mrs. Jiang said this, completely treating Yuchen as her own child.

The people present were all human spirits, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. However, none of this has anything to do with Yuxi.

Walking out of the house, Yuxi felt that her breathing was much easier. Although she was not nervous, there were so many people in the room, it was very stuffy.

The weather was not good on this day, although there were no dark clouds, but it was gray, and it was impossible to go to the garden in this way. Jiang Yi led the county lord of Heshou to a quiet and elegant courtyard, the main hall and the room of this courtyard were full of tables and chairs, and fruit cakes were placed on the tables and chairs, which were arranged very properly.
