On the 29th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the weather is sunny.Xu Yuan got up early, went to the ancestral hall to offer incense to his mother, had breakfast with his family, and was caught back to the house by Hongrui to change into a newly made waist-length skirt with light lotus color and dark line full moon pattern, and a light red cardigan tulle with hibiscus embroidered brocade.was pressed to sit in front of the mirror again, and let her take Su Hai and scatter her black hair......
"Hongrui, I'm just celebrating my birthday, not to get married, there's no need, right?"
”It's an important day, but there's no need to overdress up."
Miss, your fourteenth birthday, doesn't it matter?
It's going to be over next year, and so far, there's not even a person who comes to say goodbye.Miss relies on her good-looking temperament and outstanding temperament, always without makeup and plain clothes, but I am Mrs.
Lady's maid with the characteristics of Miss, Miss doesn't care about me but can't ignore it, otherwise how can I be worthy of Mrs. ......"
Okay, okay, come on, I don't talk and don't move, let you do it!"
”Xu Yuan hurriedly interrupted and asked Hongrui to continue, not knowing how far to draw out a few old allusions.At the north end of Qu Xie Street, the clerk of Taihezhuang had sharp eyes, and watched the carriage of Xu Mansion turn right from the fork of Zuohui Street and Qu Xie Street, drive to this side, and hurriedly greeted inward.The horse stopped, Bai Ruo stepped forward and lifted the curtain, first invited Qin Shi down, and then reached out to help Xu Yuan.Xu Yuan stood firmly, and as soon as he raised his head, the shopkeeper of Taihezhuang stood in two rows with a cadre of clerks, and congratulated him in unison with a smile on his face: Thank you Lord Xu for coming, I wish Miss a happy birthday and all the best!
Honggu looked at Xu Yuan's suspicious gaze, which was also full of doubts, but she just shook her head and said that this was not her arrangement."
The little girl is just here to have a meal, don't alarm others, Boss Yin, please go and get busy."
Xu Yuan secretly stuck out his tongue and complained: Taihezhuang's style is stupid!
Boss Yin listened to Xu Zhi's words and waved his hand to signal the clerk to disperse, but he himself stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Xu, the fifth prince arrived first, and I have already invited someone to the private room to wait." ”"The Fifth Prince?
Boss Yin misunderstood, the fifth prince wanted to come to your store to patronize, the little girl's day, did not invite ......"
"Father, the fifth highness and the puppet heard that we decided to accompany Yuan'er to dinner in Taihezhuang, and repeatedly cared for and asked, so I had to invite each other. ”Xu Yuan was stunned, so to speak, King Qi may also come back?
This is good, saving her the opportunity to find a "chance encounter" with him again."
You should have informed me and your sister about this, but fortunately, your sister is dressed appropriately today.""
Daddy, it's okay, my brother should be busy and forget.We also have a lot of intersections with the prince and His Royal Highness, and we don't have any points, but ~ I'm afraid that the two distinguished guests will break the bank. ”"It's not good to let the guests wait, Xiao'er, you and your sister go up first, and your mother and I will discuss the menu with Boss Yin.""
Brother, is the prince here too?"
Walking up the stairs with the clerk, Xu Yuan squeezed next to his brother and grabbed his arm, and asked quietly in a voice that only the two of them could hear."
Well, come too."
Xu Yunxiao said to go to see her sister, but she didn't have a special look on her face, she just didn't say anything, and asked casually curiously.His sister took him by the arm and approached him.He thought to himself, how many more steps should this staircase have.Walking up the stairs, Xu Yuan looked back and looked down, Qin was holding the menu in front of the counter to consider, and his father and Boss Yin were talking alone on the other side.In the secluded private room on the left side of the second floor, Chao Minghao heard the sound of pushing the door and looked over, Xu Yuan took out his brother's hand, and the steps into the house seemed to be unintentionally a few more points to the side every time, pulling out some distance."
Fifth Highness......"
Without waiting for Xu Yunxiao's brothers and sisters to speak, Chao Minghao interrupted with a playful look: "I knew that I would arrive before you." ”"Ahem, His Royal Highness Lao has been waiting for a long time, Xu Yuan ......"
"Xu Yuan, we are also acquaintances, and we have some friendships, but you didn't say anything about your birthday, it's too boring."
Uncle, you dignified dragon, Your Highness, how dare I claim to know you!
If you want to talk about friendship, it is also with the cold-faced prince Chao Dinglan who tests and rescues each other, not to mention, he may only be able to deal with him!
Faced with Chao Minghao's condemnation, Xu Yuan didn't know how to reply for a while."
Forget it, for the sake of Lord Xu and your eldest brother, the master doesn't care about you."
Oh, you'll find yourself a staircase!"
Oh, happy birthday, I'll give you a gadget, don't dislike it."
Xu Yuan looked at the "gadget" that Chao Minghao stuffed to her in a daze-a big box, I don't know what it contains, and she holds it in her hand and falls straight into her hand, which has nothing to do with "small" at all."
Thank you, Your Highness!
Your Highness, please be seated!
”Xu Yuan handed over the gift box to Hongrui and handed it to Honggu to deal with, and after sitting down at Chao Minghao, he also sat down, and took the tea in front of him and drank it carefully.Downstairs, the fast horses were neighed by the reins of the emergency stop, and the hooves were rattling, and the men on horseback leaned back with the hoofed horses, but they still sat upright on their horses.Without waiting for the horse to obediently breathe the hot snort, the person on horseback had jumped down, strode into Taihezhuang, and directly asked Miss Xufu where she was.Chao Dinglan was led by Boss Yin to the staircase, glanced at the burden on the dart master's back, and guessed that it was a long box according to the shape, and sent it in a hurry, which should be a birthday gift for Xu Yuan."
Come with me, I just want to accompany Prince Qi to the private room of Xu's mansion."
When the dart master heard this, he immediately strode after them.Wu Yang watched and listened, and recognized that this dart master was practicing foreign kung fu, and his skills were very solid.Even through the dart suit, you can faintly see the muscle lines on his hands, feet, chest and abdomen.The dart suit is not an ordinary seal, but the word "Tong" sewn with colored threads, representing the Wantong dart game.When the door opened, King Xie invited him to take a seat.Although the dart master is sending an urgent mail, the sooner he completes the client's requirements and sends it to the person who signs the dart, it is best to know that there is a prince and a prince in front of him, so he naturally waits on the side.Wu Yang was still curious about what was in the long box, and interjected: "Miss Xu, Wantong Dart Bureau has been entrusted to send you something!"
”Xu Yuan knew about the Wantong Dart Bureau, and when she saw the dart master following behind King Qi, she thought it was theirs, but she didn't think that someone had sent something to her.The dart master was used to going to the rivers and lakes, and Wu Yang wanted to help him, so he immediately stepped forward to untie the burden and open it."
Miss Xu, Wantong Dart Bureau is entrusted to deliver the objects and a letter to you before today's unitary hour, please sign for it."
Xu Yuan did not sign for it immediately, but read the letter specifically.Seeing the familiar handwriting on the envelope and "Sister Yuan's personal opening", she had guessed that it was a birthday gift given to her by Suyun Tuo Dart Bureau, and she smiled heartily.Xiao Ling, who sang Qingqu in the room, sang tactfully, Xu Yuan and his brother greeted him gently, and let Hongrui hug the box sent by Su Yun, and walked out quietly without disturbing others' interest.Xu Yuan walked to the staircase, leaned on the guardrail, opened the envelope, unfolded the page, and looked at it slowly.Su Yun wished her a happy birthday, asked the people of the Xu Mansion to be well, thanked her for the Poria paste and face paste sent by someone last time, and also told her about her recent life, saying that the chestnuts and hazelnuts on Feng'an Mountain were almost ripe, and she would send some to her when the time came.It is said that a deer strayed into the nunnery, wandered around the nunnery for a day, and then went back to the back mountain at dusk.Hongrui held it, Xu Yuan untied the streamer tied on the thick cardboard box, tore open the dart sticker, and untied the lid of the box.The box is divided into two layers, each layer of six pieces a total of 12 pieces of jade-like transparent porcelain vase, the glaze color should be December flowers or white or pink or blue, the bottle body is fired with December flowers, lifelike, exquisite and lovely."
What a delicate set of porcelain kiln ornaments."
Xu Yuan turned around and saw that King Qi and his attendant had also come out at some point and stood behind her.
