Chapter 39: The Birthday Banquet


Ruoyun had already understood Mama Liu's superstitions, so she said quietly, "Mama doesn't matter, as long as you don't say it, it's fine."

You can't let a third person know about it. ” "Okay, okay, Mama knows, Mama will never say it."

Mama Liu immediately assured.

"Okay, Mama, don't talk about this, let's rest first, it's too early to get up today.

This bed is quite big, so Mama and I should go to bed and rest for a while.

"Mama Liu is old, Ruoyun doesn't want her to be too tired.

After listening to Ruoyun's words, Mama Liu said that she would not go to bed for anything, and in the end, there was no way for Ruoyun to go to bed, so Mama Liu crooked on a small couch at the door of the room for a while.

Ruoyun didn't fall asleep after going to bed, after all, it was in his aunt's yard, and there were guests coming for a while, so it was inevitable that he would be rude when he fell asleep, so he just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a while.

After about half an hour, there was a gentle knock at the door, and Mama Liu immediately got up and opened the door.

The person who came was An Chun, who was next to his aunt Zhou, and said that it was a rest from the outer courtyard, and the guests arrived in a while.

Ruoyun quickly got up, freshened up a little, and then sorted out the instrument, and followed An Chun to the next room where Tian'er was, and Qiu Ye had already cleaned up Tian'er at this time.

The group went directly to Zhou's main house.

This time they did not go to Zhou's main room, but went to the hall of Lanxin Garden, which was particularly spacious, and now there are a lot of charcoal basins burned in it, and the whole hall is warm.

The inside has been arranged very exquisitely, and the tables and chairs are also polished very shiny, probably able to accommodate forty or fifty.

Aunt Zhou was already seated on the main seat at this time.

Ruoyun and Tian'er entered the door and first met Zhou, Zhou let the two of them sit down on the embroidery pier beside him, and after a while, the guest Ruoyun could not sit down in the hall as a junior, so Zhou intimately asked people to put a few embroidery piers next to him, so that they could sit beside him, which was decently given by the elders, and it would not be rude.

As soon as he sat down, someone came to report that a few ladies had come, and Ruoyun heard that it seemed to be the wives of several uncles' subordinates.

As Mrs.

Anyang Hou, my aunt's grade was much higher than theirs, so she didn't need to welcome guests, so she sat in her seat and didn't move.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and then there was a sound of pearls outside the door, and several gorgeously dressed ladies entered, some with their brightly dressed daughters.

Ruoyun quickly pulled Tian'er to stand up and moved a little behind his aunt.

This is etiquette, and a few ladies will inevitably visit their aunt later, and it will be rude to sit next to their aunt.

Several ladies stepped forward one by one to congratulate Zhou's birthday, and then let the children brought by their families also come forward to meet Zhou, and Zhou instructed the people around him to give these juniors a meeting gift.

After a greeting, there was a greeting.

Zhou also introduced Ruoyun and Tian'er to them, Ruoyun and Tian'er also stepped forward to meet these ladies one by one, and then these ladies also gave them meeting gifts, all of which were purses, which contained exquisite gold nudes, as well as small jade pendants and other small things.

Ruoyun carries a treasure trove by himself, and although he can't look at this thing, this is something on the bright side after all, and it can be used in a bright way, so Ruoyun is also very happy.

After the meeting, everyone sat down, the maids served tea, and everyone said auspicious words and mingled with each other.

Ruoyun knew that this kind of occasion was similar to the banquets she attended in her previous life, all of which provided opportunities for some powerful people to socialize, although it was the men of the family who were doing things outside, but don't underestimate the diplomacy of the lady, sometimes these ladies were well communicated, and they would bring very big benefits to their husbands.

After a while, another group of ladies came, and then like the previous procedure, they greeted each other, and Ruoyun and Tian'er received a lot of meeting gifts.

The ladies began to chat with their acquaintances, and walked around the garden.

A few more batches of ladies came, the higher the grade of the later people, the more noble the position, and some also needed the aunt Zhou to personally greet them outside the courtyard gate, and generally Zhou took Ruoyun with him, and Ruoyun also obediently played the role of a good baby on the side.

The ladies saw that Ruoyun was generous and well-behaved at a young age, well-behaved and sensible, and they all praised her.

At the same time, in the courtyard of Pingting in the north, Wang Wanting was slamming the cup on the table on the ground with a hideous face, Huailu was kneeling on the ground, and she trembled with fright when she saw the cup breaking in front of her eyes, and she fell limp on the ground and didn't dare to cry.

Originally, because Ruoyun was not poisoned, she was angry with Huailu and punished Huailu for kneeling in the room.

As a result, a lot of guests have arrived.

But her mother-in-law, Zhou, did not send someone to pass her over, and she was already angry in her heart. resented Ruoyun a hundred times, thinking that it was because Ruoyun was in the Zhou family that she didn't pass her over.

In fact, after Zhou learned what she had done today, he deliberately did not let people inform her, so as not to be upset when he saw it, and he couldn't help but let her be.

And this is because Ruoyun kept a lot of things that she didn't say, such as the fact that she killed Bi Zi, after all, if Ruoyun only came to the Hou Mansion for a day, she could know such a private thing, it would be too sensational.

More than half a morning has passed, and the guests have almost arrived, Zhou is in the Lanxin Garden living room to talk with the guests who came to congratulate, Ruoyun is accompanied by the side in front of the good girl, when the adults speak, Ruoyun does not intervene and sits obediently next to her aunt, all the ladies feel that she is well-behaved and sensible at a young age, and has won a lot of praise.

The life of a wealthy family in her previous life made Ruoyun know how important reputation is to a woman, so she is not stingy to perform better and let herself have a good reputation, so that even if there is a conflict with the Sun family, everyone will look at her good reputation in the past and look at her a little more.

As for Tian'er having already been carried out to play by Autumn Leaves, how could a five-year-old child stay with a group of women, and his aunt arranged for several people to follow, Ruoyun was also more relieved.

At this time, Mama Huang next to her aunt walked in from the outside with a happy face, today Mama Huang has been outside to welcome guests on behalf of her aunt, Ruoyun saw her come in and knew that there was another guest, but I don't know who made her so happy.

Mama Huang leaned into Zhou's ear and said a few words, although the hall was a little noisy, and her voice was very small, but if Yun Fei had heard it more clearly than ordinary people, Mama Huang said that the third prince had come to congratulate her aunt on her birthday, and at this time, Uncle Hou and two cousins had already gone to greet her.

Ruoyun was a little confused, the three princes should literally mean the third son of the emperor, why did the three princes come to celebrate the birthday of their aunt, what is the origin of this At this time, Zhou had already accused the guests in the hall that he was going out to greet guests, and then said to Ruoyun, "Yun'er, go out with your aunt to welcome an important guest."

Ruoyun hurriedly got up and followed.

The group walked out of Lanxin Garden and walked directly to the avenue in the outer courtyard, and the Zhou family did not take the car, fortunately, the road was not very far.

"Yun'er, the distinguished guest here this time is the third prince, you can follow your aunt to see the ceremony in a while."

Zhou was afraid that Ruoyun would not know, so he lost his manners, so he reminded.

After some conversation this morning and the gift of medicine, Ruoyun and the Zhou family were a lot closer, so Ruoyun asked directly if he had something to say, "Uncle, do these three princes have any relationship with our house, why did they come to pay their respects to their aunt in person?"

Hearing this, Zhou's originally happy face was a little more sad, and Mama Huang next to her saw it, and hurriedly said, "The cousin girl doesn't know, our lady's sister-in-law and sister named Zhou Yizhen was fortunate to be selected as the palace escort thirteen years ago, and the emperor is very fond of being named the imperial concubine, but the red face is thin, and the imperial concubine Niangniang died of illness three years ago, and the three princes here are the only sons left by the imperial concubine. ” After listening to Mama Huang's explanation, Ruoyun knew why Zhou's expression was like this, and she was sad for the death of her own sister.

"Hey," Zhou sighed and said faintly, "It would have been nice if I had known that the old fairy had appeared a few years ago, and my sister wouldn't... , It's all fate, it's not up to anyone at all. ” Ruoyun knew what her aunt meant, she wanted to say that if she could get Ning Yu Dan a few years ago, she would be able to save her sister, but Ning Yu Dan was a detoxification pill, and Huang Mama said that Emperor Zhou Guifei died of illness, but she actually died of poisoning.

Ruoyun thought in his heart, but he didn't ask, after all, this is the royal Xin Mi can participate less and participate less.

According to Mama Huang, the three princes should be called Zhou's aunt, and it is more reasonable to come to pay their respects.

Everyone walked to the front yard, and saw a group of people on the opposite side, the uncle and the two cousins were among them but they were slightly behind, led by a blue-robed young man, wearing a golden crown on his head, a bright yellow gold belt around his waist, a noble air between his gestures, healthy and fair skin, the most eye-catching thing was a pair of eyes like stars, and there was really a shadow of his aunt Zhou between his eyebrows.

Ruoyun couldn't help shouting in her heart, "Wow, handsome guy in ancient times, it seems that the royal genes are not bad, but our appearance is not bad, otherwise as a woman, we are embarrassed to stand in front of this man who is more dazzling than a woman." ” Zhou looked at the originally slightly sad eyes of the group, and was full of joy for a moment, and then led the group to bow down to the blue-robed young man, "Meet the three princes and welcome the three princes."

Ruoyun was helpless, the imperial power was supreme, and he had no choice but to kneel down, but before the Zhou family knelt on the ground, the third prince stepped forward and helped her up, "Auntie, why do you need to be so polite, you are Heng'er's elder, you should Heng'er give you a salute."

Then he motioned to Ruoyun and the others to get up, "Everyone should get up too." ” "Thank you, Third Prince," everyone replied.

The Zhou family was also helped up at this time, "Three princes, etiquette is not costly, this is the rule."

The Zhou family lovingly held the hands of the three princes
