Chapter 7 Birthday
"Hurry up, you have to eat the noodles while they're hot, they won't taste good if they're lumpy." Su urged Zhou Shining with a smile.

Zhou Xining really wanted to say that it was neither lumpy nor tasty, but today was her birthday, so she had to finish this side anyway.

Liandong knew Zhou Xining's preferences well, seeing her girl staring at the noodle bowl with a disfigured face, she suppressed a smile and handed the chopsticks: "Girl, I have to laugh today."

As soon as Zhou Xining took the chopsticks, Bai Zhi stepped forward and said: "Miss, the old master asked the lady to go to the front hall after dinner, the second prince came to congratulate Miss on her birthday."

Chu Yuming?
Zhou Xining's eyelids twitched, and then he turned to Lonicera, his eyes said, such a big bowl of noodles that I don't want to eat, and I have to meet people I don't want to see after eating, I can still laugh when you look at your girl ?

I really can't figure it out, how did Chu Yuming know the exact date of her birthday?Why did you come to other people's house early in the morning, so thick-skinned?Zhou Xining sneered while eating the noodles in the bowl like swallowing medicine.

After dawdling with his meal and tidying up again, Zhou Xining walked slowly to the front hall.

The hall is very quiet, you can hear a needle drop.If he hadn't seen the people sitting and drinking tea inside through the window, Zhou Xining would have suspected that there was no one inside.

After entering the door, Zhou Xining bowed his eyebrows and bowed his eyes, and then said in surprise: "Does the Second Prince not need to attend the court? Is there something important to come here so early?"

The second prince Chu Yuming's face froze. The old emperor had already entered the palace, but it was really inappropriate for him to sit here.

But he smiled and said: "I heard that today is Miss Zhou's birthday, so I asked for leave to ask for a glass of water and wine."

"Huh? Who did your Highness hear this from?" Zhou Xining snorted lightly, "Do you mean to have a banquet in our residence?"

Chu Yuming: ...

The noble girls in the old capital always talk like this... directly slapping people in the face?

Chu Yuming did not speak, and Zhou Xining also resolutely did not speak. Even if he did speak, it was only a short answer, which seemed to be half a sentence.

Chu Yuming was very unhappy, he condescendingly came to congratulate her on her birthday, but she kept her eyelids down and never even gave her a straight look.But looking at Zhou Xining's calm expression, he couldn't figure out whether it was due to Zhou Xining's personality or whether he was dissatisfied with him.

"May I ask, how did Yuming offend Miss Fourth?"

Zhou Xining snorted coldly in his heart, it's not a crime, it's just a grudge in his previous life.

But she still bowed dignifiedly and said, "Why did Your Highness the Second Prince come here to ask? But there is something wrong with my servant? I have just returned to Beijing, and I am still learning the rules and etiquette in Beijing. If there is any mistake, please let me know." Your Highness will not hesitate to give pointers."

I……

Pointing to what?Said that your biggest mistake is that you are not warm enough to me?For the old emperor to allow him to sit here and wait for Zhou Xining to come out to meet him, he has seen his father's face.

Chu Yuming instantly felt that it would be better to go to the court to listen to the government than to meet this Miss Zhou family.No matter what he said, she kept it short; whether he was laughing or annoyed, she kept her eyelids down and turned a blind eye.This is simply flirting to a blind man, boring, very boring.

Chu Yuming was angry, annoyed and annoyed, but he was helpless.Suppressing it and said a few more words, he got up and said goodbye.

After seeing off the second prince Chu Yuming to leave, Zhou Xining walked to Chunwu Courtyard from the front, just after turning the corner, he ran into the second wife Yu Shi who was about to leave the mansion.Zhou Xining bowed his knees and saluted without saying anything.Yu Shi only nodded and didn't stop.The two sides went left and right respectively.

"Liandong, the second wife has been out of the house frequently these days, do you know why?"

"It seems to be seeing people for the second lady." Liandong quietly looked around for a week, and then said in a low voice: "Every family that the second wife contacts has a characteristic, there are many elders and they live in the same family."

Zhou Xining raised his eyebrows, such families tend to have a strict family and strict rules.A new daughter-in-law of the younger generation who has just passed through the family not only has to serve her mother-in-law and be filial to her mother-in-law and grandmother, but also has to please the old ancestors, and is afraid that she has to wait in front of the elders every day, and she can't even get out of the second family.Well, such a family is very suitable for Zhou Shuang'an.

Zhou Shuang'an is 16 years old, it's time to discuss marriage, but this family is hard to find.If she married lowly, Yu was afraid that people would say that she treated the concubine harshly, and she was also afraid that Zhou Shuang would make jokes if she was restless in the room, which would affect the Zhou family's reputation.If it was a noble family in the court, the concubine must be married, and Yu was afraid that Zhou Shuang'an's sour and strong temper would cause disasters that she couldn't deal with.Whether it is high or low has been dragged on until now.

Now that he can think of looking for it in the Wang clan, Yu Shi is really hardworking.If people are busy, then there will be more people walking outside. If you are an official or a businessman, you may find one or two from all walks of life.This kind of family can't be regarded as a noble family, but it is also a well-known big family.As a concubine, if Zhou Shuang'an married a son who didn't need to support the family, she would be of equal status and could not be criticized.

It's rare for Mrs. Yu to be active and clear-headed. I'm afraid he got some advice from his grandfather.

"Pay attention to the progress and others, and help a group of second wives if necessary."

Lonicera nodded.

After returning to Chunwu Courtyard and changing his clothes, Zhou Xining took Lonicera and left the mansion through the east corner door.

After passing through several alleys with twists and turns, the master and servant stopped outside the door of a mansion. Liandong looked around and looked around in astonishment, "This is... Dingyuanhou's Mansion!"

"Girl, Dingyuanhou's Mansion has been closed to welcome guests for many years..." Liandong hesitated, "Besides, our two mansions have never had any contact, so it's not good to come here like this?"

"Call the door." It wasn't that there was no contact with each other, but that the contact was broken. Zhou Xining pursed his lips. Although it was not good for her to come to the door like this, she had to come.

In the previous life, the imperial decree of giving marriage was to enter the house today.Also today, He Beiting expelled his clan and left Beijing.

That time, he protected her all the way out of the imperial city, and brought her into the He family's ancestral grave after being seriously injured.There he told her about getting rid of the clan and leaving the capital, about the engagement, and about how he had been waiting for her to grow up to marry him...

"Sapphire is hired, life is not the same quilt, death is the same point!" '

What kind of affection is it that makes him watch him marry someone else and still stick to his life without complaint or regret!

This time, without the marriage bestowed by the royal family, naturally there would be no more expelling the family from Beijing.

Lonicera's hand was a little sore from knocking, and there was no sound from inside. The main door was not opened, and the side door was half-opened. The person who answered the door was an elderly housekeeper, who was a little panting when he spoke, "The house does not accept guests. , girl, please come back."

Lian Dong stepped aside, Zhou Xining stepped forward and pursed the corners of his lips to reveal the sapphire.

Seeing Qingyu, the old butler first widened his eyes, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then his face became serious, and he bowed in salute.

"Girl, please wait a moment."

After a short while, the old butler came back and respectfully welcomed Zhou Xining into the gate of the house.
