Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 33

It was still early in the meeting, and the guests would usually be later, so there was nothing to socialize with. Lin Yuan's brother and cousins ​​were just sitting here to rest temporarily.

They are sitting here separated from other places by a screen, male and female guests should be separated, but except for Qi Yingyu and Qi Haoran who are outsiders, the others are very close cousins, so they are not too restrained .

What's more, Qi Yingyu and Qi Haoran are two young people. Although they are outsiders, they are very familiar with each other. They are completely different from the two young ladies of the Du family.

There are so many Biao young masters here, it is obviously an extremely inappropriate arrangement for the maid to bring Mrs. Wei Guogong and the three ladies from Wei Guogong's mansion.

They came here from the study room, even if some of the maids didn't know about this, there were also some.Knowing that there are young cousins ​​around, it is not impossible to bring people here.But no matter what it is, it is the servant girl's dereliction of duty.

There is no room for omissions on such an important day.Perhaps a seemingly insignificant matter may have a bad impact on the entire Yingwuhou Mansion.

For example, as it is now, it is better to be younger, let the lady who has not left the court meet the strange man like this, the outsider will definitely say that Yingwuhou's house is not well received, and will not say it is the fault of the maid.

It's really strange to say that there should be other servants standing outside the screen.These few guests were stopped without being outside the screen. It must not be that the servants outside have forgotten the many cousins ​​inside, it can only be that they were all called away.

All the ladies of Yingwuhou's mansion have left the cabinet, and the matter of greeting the young girls who have not left the cabinet among the guests fell on Xiao Wang's two daughters.Therefore, it should be the servant girl who came to inform in advance, and it was well prepared here.Now, not so.

There is a lady over there, and it would be inappropriate to ask Miss Biao to greet her.This was supposed to be a matter for the wives, but now it seems that no wives know about it?

Now what the hell is going on?

The servant girl saw that there were so many young cousins ​​inside when she bypassed the screen, her face showed a look of bewilderment, and hurriedly led Wei Guogong's wife and the three young ladies from the Weiguo Gong's mansion to retreat, and sent them out. Lead him to sit down elsewhere in the flower hall.

Mrs. Wei Guogong walked away with a gloomy expression, and the expressions of the other young ladies were also different. One of the two younger ladies was not very happy, and the other was full of confusion. The 15-year-old Miss Du Liu was even more ashamed and annoyed. When she saw so many strange men around, she immediately blushed.

Such a shy and annoyed look, with two clouds floating on her fair face, is really as beautiful as peaches and plums.It's a pity that no one appreciates this moment.

Xiao Linyuan and Qi Yingyu turned their heads to look at Miss Du Liu, and then turned their heads away.

The people on the other side left, and the people on this side couldn't help being silent for a moment.Neither the Lin family nor the Marquis of Yingwu's Mansion or the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion had any contact with Duke Wei's mansion.

Among the people here, except for Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu who knew Du Ruojin because of the last incident, the others didn't know Mrs. Wei Guogong and the ladies of Wei Guogong's mansion.

Although Xu Yueshan and Lin Yuan's two cousins ​​who hadn't left the cabinet often participated in flower appreciation parties and poetry parties before they came out of the cabinet, but even if they played, they would hang out with the prostitutes from various families.There are only two daughters-in-law in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei, with such a big age difference, it is normal for them not to know this concubine lady.

Seeing that Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu knew a certain little girl inside, Xu Yueshan leaned over and asked her quietly, "Does little Ayuan know that little lady just now?"

Lin Yuan didn't yell, but also whispered in her sister-in-law's ear, "I had a fight with her before." This sentence made it very clear.

After whispering to her sister-in-law, Xu Yueshan stood up and said to everyone with a smile, "I don't know if my aunt is busy or not, I'll go and see if there is anything I can help with."

Lin Xuan was the largest among the people present, Xiao Wang's sons and daughters all called Xu Yueshan cousin.After Xu Yueshan finished speaking, Xiao Wang's eldest daughter also said with a smile, "I'll go with you, cousin."

The two of them stood up while talking and laughing, followed by Lin Xuan, Lin Ye, Lin Yi, and Lin Yuan's cousins, saying that they were going to see if there was anything wrong with their grandfather, uncles, and father. .

Everyone else had to leave. The two little girls Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu needed someone to take care of them, so Xiao Wang's youngest daughter stayed to take care of them.As for Qi Haoran, it doesn't really matter.

After sending Lin Xuan and the others away, Lin Yuan, the cousin Fu Yujin who stayed behind to take care of them, asked Lin Yuan, Qi Yingyu and Qi Haoran if they wanted to go for a walk in the garden.

The two little girls felt a little bored after sitting for a while, so they quickly agreed when they heard such words, Qi Haoran nodded without hesitation, and Fu Yujin took them to the garden.

There are several magnolias planted in the garden, and it is not the flowering period of the magnolia, so there is nothing to see.On the other hand, the sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus that is in full bloom in August spreads out, which makes people happy to smell it.

In the garden of Yingwuhou Mansion, there are many roses of different varieties, which will bloom just right, and it is also a pleasing beauty.In addition to these, there are many potted plants of blooming orchids and chrysanthemums in the garden, which are very beautifully arranged.

Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu, two beautifully dressed and festively dressed girls, stood among the flowers.Even Qi Haoran, who was not very interested in flowers and plants, felt that this scene was really beautiful, and even the scent of flowers that he didn't like very much was refreshing.

Xu Yueshan and Xiao Wang's eldest daughter, Fu Yushu, went to the main hall of Ningxin Yuan, and their eldest and younger aunts were still here.It's just that Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Fu were not in Yingwuhou's study, but returned to Ningxinyuan and their mother.

When Mrs. Lin saw her eldest son, wife and niece coming together, she realized that something had happened.It is reasonable for Xu Yueshan to come here alone, she, the eldest daughter-in-law, must accompany her to meet the wives.The niece was supposed to be in the flower hall to greet the ladies who have not left the court, but she came together, it must be a bit of an accident.

Wanting to understand this level, Mrs. Lin quietly walked over.

When Xu Yueshan saw her mother-in-law, she felt that it was better to tell her mother-in-law and wait for her to tell her than to go directly to her aunt.She felt a little relieved, and went to meet her, and then the two of them walked to the corner of the hall together.

After listening to Xu Yueshan's pure description of the situation at that time, Mrs. Lin felt concerned.

It doesn't matter how Mrs. Wei entered the Hou's mansion through some channels. There are so many people who come to celebrate the birthday, there will always be someone who is close or distant.But she didn't come to congratulate Mrs. Hou on her birthday first, she went to the flower hall first and it would be interesting if such a thing happened.

"It doesn't sound like a big deal, so don't worry. Since you're here, you will meet all the ladies with me later. There are quite a few close friends among the ladies who came to congratulate you on your birthday, so you should be more familiar with them."

After finishing these two sentences with her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin led Xu Yueshan back to the center of the hall, showing no apparent thoughts on this matter.

One only needs to think about it for a while and then one can see that there must be no accidents on a day like today, and now is really not a good time to delve into this matter.Thinking of this, Xu Yueshan put this matter aside for the time being and didn't care too much about it.

Numerous wives brought their daughters-in-law and daughters who had not left the court to pay their respects to Mrs. Yingwu Houhou's birthday. The huge and solemnly decorated hall seemed to be full of people in a short time.

After the greetings, most of the daughters-in-law stayed behind to serve the mother-in-law, while the ladies were taken to the flower hall by the maids.As for the men, Marquis Yingwu and his son greeted them well, and drank tea in other places.

While Mrs. Yingwuhou was chatting and laughing with relatives and friends who came to celebrate her birthday, a little servant girl hurried in, squatted down and said, "Old lady, His Majesty the Emperor, Concubine Hui brought His Highness the Second Prince, His Highness the Third Prince, Her Highness the Third Princess and the Little Princess are here to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

As soon as the little maid finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent, and how many people were secretly speechless.His Majesty the Emperor came to celebrate his birthday in person, what an honor and what a face...

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Laohou hurriedly ordered her servants to invite the ladies in the flower hall.When Mrs. Lin heard the news, her complexion changed, and she felt bad.

His Majesty the Emperor came to Yingwuhou's Mansion in person, so naturally any master, young master, lady or lady of any family had to go to greet him.

No news had been received before, so no matter who they were, they would inevitably feel surprised at this moment.Even if it is just for the prince and princess to come, it is a kindness to the Marquis Yingwu Mansion. It is unthinkable for Concubine Hui to come, let alone the emperor in person?

This is not as simple as celebrating birthdays. The emperor must have other deep meanings when doing such a thing, and there may even be several layers of meanings.

Only the queen's natal family can be regarded as the emperor's serious relatives, belonging to foreign relatives, and the concubine's natal family is nothing but courtiers in front of the royal family.

This is clearly the case, but the emperor seems to regard Mrs. Yingwuhou Laohou as a serious relative, and he came to celebrate his birthday in person... It makes people think that there is nothing they can do.

Many guests who came to Yingwuhou's mansion to celebrate his birthday had different thoughts after hearing about it, and all of them had complicated thoughts.

Among the many guests, Mrs. Wei Guogong was probably the only one who smiled the most from ear to ear.She has always only thought about having young masters from various dignified families, so how could she have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would come?
She hurriedly took her daughters to the gate of the mansion to welcome His Majesty the Emperor, Concubine Hui, the two princes and two princesses with Mrs. Yingwuhou Laohou.

Li Han got down from the dragon chariot, stretched out his hands to support Marquis Yingwu and Mrs. Lao Hou who were about to salute him, and politely avoided their salute.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and immediately saw the young and beautiful girl who was looking up at him in the crowd.Li Han chuckled, and asked directly, "Which family are you from, you are so courageous?"
