green bamboo dream

Not long after, a little maid came running in and said: "The Fourth Prince is here, the old lady invites all ladies to come over.【26nbsp;】"

There was a sudden silence all around, and all the noble ladies stood up abruptly, with the maids helping to arrange the hairpins of their dresses, one by one they walked out the door very gracefully.

Although Yuzhu is now more worried about whether something will happen to Runxin, but at the moment she really can't escape, so she can only secretly pray that she will not be so impulsive. Although she doesn't like people who are too contrived, she still has her life.

Now let's go meet that blood cousin.

When we arrived at the main room of the old lady, we could only see lanterns and festoons everywhere. The bright red silk decorated the birthday hall very festively. In the middle of the front, there was also a mahogany armchair with flower pattern and rattan heart, and a red lacquered nanmu footrest under it.Because everyone in the outer court had heard the news of the fourth prince's arrival, they were busy going to meet the most distinguished adult prince, so the fourth prince is still in the outer court.

On the east side of the main room is an eight-leaf red sandalwood inlaid enamel throne screen, and many ladies and ladies have been waiting quietly behind. Seeing Yu Zhu coming, Cui hurriedly pulled her over and asked in a low voice if the reception was going well. The sound of her footsteps had gradually approached, and she didn't dare to speak again. She only squeezed her mother's hand and gave her a comforting smile.

Today, the old lady is wearing a big red gown with black swirl pattern and golden forging edge. Her hair is combed very vigorously, and a big red silk flower is inserted on it. The Buddha beads looked very rich and blessed, and they heard the movement outside and hurriedly stood up to pick them up in person.

This grandson has not met a few times since he was born, and he has seen it from a distance. Today, he was finally able to get close to him. The old lady stood at the door very excitedly, her old eyes that were slightly tearful stared at the door , this is not only the grandson, but also the support of the Lin family.

Finally, the sound of footsteps stopped at the door, and all the girls inside the screen breathed lightly, only to hear Shi Shi's hoarse and trembling voice outside: "I see you, Shi Shi..."

"Old lady, you don't need to be too polite. This king is only here to pay homage to your birthday. How dare you accept the gift from the birthday star?" The warm and clear voice carried a hint of a smile, although it couldn't conceal the natural nobility that was heard in my ears. But it makes people feel like spring breeze.

Yu Zhu sensitively felt that the surrounding air was getting hotter, and she clearly saw the red earlobes of the ladies. It turned out that no matter what era, it is instinctive for young girls to admire tall, handsome and rich.In this dynasty, is there a golden tortoise heavier than the prince?In addition, you can't enter the palace normally, this is the first time you see a young man with such a high status, how can you not be excited?Although these girls have lived in the boudoir for a long time, they are all proficient in fighting wits and courage with women, but correspondingly they have no resistance to outstanding men. There are various versions of the strange love between the young lady and the scholar. Although it is a bit exaggerated, no one can deny the truth that art comes from life.

Of course, no matter how excited the salute is, you can’t miss it, but only through the screen, all the wives and ladies salute together. Yu Zhu is very interested in doing this kind of salute. It feels like when Lin Yuanzhi often faced the north and bowed his hands when he was released. , Shouting "Your Majesty Shengming" is as stupid as it is.So she just squatted down, but her eyes secretly looked out, and she could only see a faint figure through the screen, but listening to this voice that seemed to be able to enthrall the soul, this cousin's appearance is not too bad In general, the law of no ugly men in the royal family rarely miscalculates.

Listening to the old lady outside asking about the fourth prince's daily life gently and lovingly, as if she wanted to make up for all the lack of care in these years, Ningyuan Hou Lin Hengzhi also brought his three younger brothers to accompany him, interjecting a few words from time to time talk.

The female guests here saluted through the screen and then left first. It was almost noon, so Fan led his sisters-in-law to invite the girls to the banquet to take their seats.

Before the banquet started, Fan ordered the troupe at home to come out and sing first. As expected of the famous Deqing troupe in the capital, it really... The satisfied expressions of these ladies are probably very good, at least worthy of its price.

You must know that the salary of the maidservant of the Lin family is only one tael a month, the aunt is two taels, the ladies are five taels, and the wife’s salary is only 20 taels in this generation, so the Deqing opera troupe asks for 100 taels of silver for a day’s booking. , It's really not something ordinary people can afford.

"You are really lucky. Look at the grandeur of the Lin family. The old lady celebrated her birthday and the princes are here. There are also noble concubines in the palace. I just took a look around. Mrs. Uncle Zhongshan, Mrs. Pingyuanhou, Mrs. Ru Mrs. Marquis Chang... Other than entering the palace, where can I see such people? You are the head mother of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion when you marry, and you have two legitimate sons by your knees. Tsk tsk, this luck is so enviable. "A slightly fat woman in a silver-red trousers and a light-green passionflower silk skirt sipped tea methodically, her tone was full of envy, but her eyes were peaceful.

Fan's mood is also very good today, women are always a bit vain, and it is really a pleasant thing to be flattered by a group of wives of comparable status for a long time.But when she saw Cui Shi who was laughing in a low voice with Gao Shi, the eldest wife of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, she concealed the slight upturn of the corner of her mouth, and said lightly: "Why do you envy me, you are not suffering in these big mansions." have no idea."

That woman was Fan's concubine sister, Da Fan raised her head in surprise after hearing this, why did this younger sister change, she used to be the one who listened to people's flattery the most.But she didn't want to rush to please her, because she didn't ask for anything at all. It was just a casual remark just now, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't buy it.

At this moment, a little servant girl ran over in a hurry, glanced at the crowd with some embarrassment, and stared at Fan Shi hesitantly. The people sitting at the banquet were basically the head mothers of the major families. Guessing that something shameful had happened, they looked at each other with a smile in their eyes and were ready to watch the show. Fan's smug look when he was in the limelight just now aroused the envy of many people.

Fan walked outside with a livid face, glared at the little maid, and asked angrily: "What happened, what are you doing in such a panic?"

The little servant girl was taken aback, and replied tremblingly: "Back... Ma'am, Mama Ge... Mama ordered my servant to invite you to go back. A lady ran into the main room crying and said she wanted to find the elder. Said... She also said...." The little maid took a peek at Cui Shi's increasingly cold face, moved her feet away, and gritted her teeth: "Also said that she is the eldest master's biological daughter."

Fan's eyes were dark and he almost fell down. He slowly supported the wall to recover his breath. He just felt sore all over his heart. This is his enviable good life. Hmph, how ironic that so many women in the yard are still alive. If it's not enough, I have to go outside to steal food, and the girl from the outside room actually came to the door, it was a slap in the face.
