Original Collection

Ever since Xiao Shiji revived the Xiao family, Long Xiangye celebrated her birthday with great fanfare every year.It was also in the previous period when I was afraid of poverty, and when I went back to the life of wealth and wealth, I had the mentality of making up for myself.

Wealth and honor do not see people, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night, how shabby...

Long Xiangye got up early that day, first burned incense and took a bath, then went to pay homage to the ancestors, and then held the hand of the big maid, came out of Xuanrong hall with a smile on her face, and went to the middle hall.

The middle hall of Xiao's house is a separate courtyard, which is specially used for entertaining guests.The building is tall, with five houses in the north, and the east and west wing rooms are converted into a flower hall for banquets. The courtyard in the middle can be used as a stage to sing operas during the solar terms, which is very spacious.

Long Xiangye was wearing a rose-purple bird-eye pattern Fangsheng Shu brocade cross-neck narrow-sleeved blouse, lotus root powder purple bead animal pattern brocade skirt, a dovetail bun on her hair, and a few new styles of jewelry, which was quite a bit tolerance.

Surrounded by a large group of maids and women, Long Xiangye came to the middle hall with a smile on his face and sat down. It didn't take long for guests to come to the door one after another.

The male guest is in the outer courtyard, received by Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taiji together.The female guests were directly invited into the inner courtyard, and came to the middle hall where the banquet was held.

Du Hengshuang and Guan Yunlian stood beside Long Xiangye, smiling and greeting the visitors.

There are not many relatives in the Xiao family, and now Xiao Ruisheng is the only one left, who is Long Xiangye's brother-in-law, who is also "married" to her.

However, Xiao Ruisheng did not come, most of the people who came were Xiao Shiji's colleagues and family members, as well as relatives and friends of Long Xiangye's natal family.

After the Xiao family fell, the Long family once ignored the Xiao family.Long Xiangye was also very sad.She really cares about her mother's family, thinking of her mother's family's well-being, so her waist is hard.

Later, after the Xiao family rose up, everyone in the Long family slowly came to the door again.

Long Xiangye thought that there were almost no relatives in the Xiao family. Although the Long family was not very authentic at that time, they could not be blamed. Later, they kept lying low and came to the door frequently. Long Xiangye gradually forgave them .Besides.At that time, the Xiao family didn't know who to offend, not to mention the Long family, even Long Xiangye herself wanted to hide away.It was for the sake of the three children that he gritted his teeth and survived.

Now that the children are grown up, it's time for her to enjoy herself.

Long Xiangye was even more smiling.

Both her aunt and father passed away a few years ago.The current head of the Long family, Long Wenping, is the younger brother of her mother, and her own son Xiao Shiji is promising. As the aunt of the Long family, she has more status than her own sister.

When she celebrated her birthday, all the relatives from the Long family came out.Come to celebrate her birthday.

The first ones to arrive were the Long family.

Long Xiangye introduced Du Hengshuang and Guan Yunlian with a smile, "This is your uncle and aunt. This is your cousin. This is your aunt and second aunt..."

Long Xiangye originally had a younger sister, Long Qiuye, who died in prison a few years ago.

Du Hengshuang and Guan Yunlian hurriedly greeted the relatives of the mother-in-law's family.

"Third Aunt, why are you so busy introducing my younger brother and younger sister that you forgot about me?" A girl in her teens walked in quickly, her moon-white dress perched on a green mosaic-inlaid bluestone mosaic brick. Passing by lightly, lotuses grow every step of the way, swaying and colorful.

Long Xiangye looked up.I saw a girl with colorful makeup come in.

"It's Shuzhi. I haven't seen you in the past two years. Where have you been?" Long Xiangye was very happy when she saw Long Shuzhi, the eldest daughter of her younger brother's son, coming. "Come and sit here with my aunt."

Long Shuzhi is fourteen years old, one year younger than Du Hengshuang. Among the ordinary-looking Long family, she is surprisingly good-natured.

Thick eyebrows, long eyelashes and big eyes, slightly thick lips, but just right.A little pouting is extremely attractive.

Long Xiangye's natal relative who loves her the most is this niece Long Shuzhi.

"Third aunt, I went to live with my grandmother's house for two years. As you know, my grandmother's house is the Qinghe Chang family, a well-known family. Now, the Chang family is about to have a big happy event, so I will stay longer." It’s been a while. Don’t blame Third Aunt.” Long Shuzhi sat beside Long Xiangye, shaking her arm coquettishly.

Du Hengshuang listened nearby, the corners of his lips curled up almost invisibly, then calmed down, and nodded to Long Shuzhi with a smile.

Long Shuzhi had long seen a beautiful woman standing beside Long Xiangye, not much older than herself, but she was dressed as a young daughter-in-law, so she tugged on Long Xiangye's skirt with a smile and asked, "Third aunt, Who is this sister? She is so beautiful."

Du Hengshuang smiled faintly, "Cousin is over the top."

Long Xiangye smiled and patted Long Shuzhi's hand, "What sister? She is your sister-in-law, the daughter of the Du family, you have heard of it before. Come, this is your second cousin."

Long Shuzhi said "Yeah", and hurriedly stood up and saluted Du Hengshuang, "It turns out that she is the eldest cousin sister-in-law, my little sister really missed her."

Du Hengshuang shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing." Then he took off a mutton fat jade bracelet from his hand and put it on Long Shuzhi's wrist, "It's my cousin's kindness to meet you for the first time."

Long Shuzhi quickly took off the bracelet and said, "How can I accept such an expensive gift?"

Long Xiangye smiled and said: "Since it's a little favor from your cousin, you can accept it. She is a rich man, so what are these bracelets? She can give it away to anyone."

After hearing this, the people in the room looked at Du Hengshuang with squinted eyes.

Du Hengshuang saw the other two girls from the Long family also gathered around, so he didn't want to favor one over the other, so he hurriedly ordered Zhihua to go back and fetch some mutton fat jade bracelets as gifts.

When Guan saw that Du Hengshuang's attack was the mutton fat jade bracelet, the corners of her mouth twitched in distress, so she couldn't make a sound, and tried to hide behind, fearing that someone would see it, and asked her to follow her as a meeting gift.

Long Shuzhi is the most naughty, when she rolled her eyes, she saw Guan Shi who kept hiding behind the door, and walked over to pull her out with a smile, "Second cousin, don't hide, I think we sisters are not pleasing to your eyes, Don’t want to see us?—Don’t worry, second cousin, we won’t ask you for a suet jade bracelet.” After speaking, she looked at her sister and smiled slyly.

The girls of the Long family covered their sleeves and smiled lightly.

Seeing this appearance, Xiao Shiji's colleagues and family members were a little embarrassed.Pretending not to see them, they talked together in twos and threes.

Du Hengshuang didn't want to see Guan's being squeezed out, so he greeted with a smile: "Everyone thinks you are hungry? Go to the east flower hall and have a seat. Today is the banquet hosted by the second younger brother and sister, so it must be good."

Guan's face was turning green because of being squeezed by the little girls of Long's family. Hearing Du Hengshuang's words, he was relieved and said with a smile: "That's right. Let's go to the banquet."

Everyone was about to get up when they saw a woman come in to report back.Said that his wife came.

It turned out that Fang Wuniang brought Du Hengxue over.The Du and Xiao families were family friends and relatives-in-law, besides, on Long Xiangye's previous birthdays, Fang Wuniang gave gifts, and this year Du Hengshuang is married, so she has to be more courteous.

Everyone in this house knows that Fang Wuniang is Jing Zhaoyin's house-filling wife.The one with the highest status stood up and welcomed her into the room with a smile.

"I'm late, will Sister Long not give me food?" Before Mrs. Fang Wu arrived, her voice came first, and she walked into the room with a burst of fragrant wind.

Jing Zhaoyin's wife came to congratulate herself on her birthday.Long Xiangye also felt that his face was bright, and he stood up with a smile and performed the ceremony of peers with Fang Wuniang.Pull her to do the first thing together.

Just as she was about to introduce relatives from her natal family to her, Xiao Shiji's colleagues and family members in the room had already caught up to pay respects to Fang Wuniang.

Although Long Xiangye was still sitting aside with a smile on her face, the smile on her face was as stiff as if frozen in plaster.

After everyone complimented Fang Wuniang, they dragged Du Hengxue to praise her.

"Such a beautiful and docile girl. I really don't know who will be blessed in the future."

"Not only is she beautiful and docile, but I heard that she has more dowries than her elder sister. Her mother originally wanted her to give birth and recruit a husband."

A series of whispers reached Long Shuzhi's ears.In the blink of an eye, Long Shuzhi's limelight was snatched away by Du Hengxue. The little girl couldn't keep things in her mind, so she showed it on her face, with a stiff smile like Long Xiangye's.

Fang Wuniang soon realized that something was wrong with Long Xiangye, and said with a smile: "Sister Long, don't blame me, I haven't been out and about for a long time. I didn't go to the autumn banquet in Muhou Mansion last time. It's the first time, it's really because of Sister Long's birthday, so on such a big day, it's impossible not to come out. Now that I come out, I will talk a lot, I hope Sister Long can't be blamed."

Seeing that Fang Wuniang was still sensible, Long Xiangye turned from anger to joy, pulled her to say a few words, and then called her natal relatives over, saying: "This is my biological mother, the mother of your eldest cousin, She is also Jing Zhaoyin's wife."

The juniors of Long Xiangye's natal family all came to see her.

Fang Wuniang had been prepared for a long time, and each of them gave a purse, which contained two golden lockets.

"The ones who came here to celebrate their birthdays didn't prepare a gift. You siblings can play with these purses. They are not worth anything." Fang Wuniang smiled and patted the head of the youngest little girl.

Seeing Du Hengxue standing next to Fang Wuniang smiling and not speaking, Long Shuzhi couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "You are my cousin's sister? I am Long Shuzhi."

Apart from Du Hengshuang, Du Hengxue didn't have any friends. Seeing that Long Shuzhi was good-looking and sweet-talking, she talked to her with great interest.

Mrs. Guan looked at the side coldly for a long time, and when she saw that she was almost done, she said: "Everyone has been joking all morning, are you hungry too? There are several tables of banquets prepared in the east flower hall, let's have fun while eating." After speaking, she called out A woman came in and took all the guests.

Everyone moved from the central hall to the flower hall.

Because the inner courtyard of the Xiao family is managed by Mrs. Guan, in order to avoid embarrassing her, Du Hengshuang basically doesn't care about the affairs of the inner courtyard, and just remembers to transfer money to the inner courtyard.

When she came to the flower hall and saw the dried meat, pickled vegetables and porridge on the table, Du Hengshuang's brain buzzed, and she immediately understood: Oh no, she forgot to transfer the money to the inner courtyard this month.
