The salty fish lady just wants to get over the wall

Chapter 59: 059: Mrs. Wen's Birthday

Two days later, Mrs. Wen's birthday came.

Wen Nianruan asked Qiu Bai to ask Xiao Jinran for instructions in advance, and left the palace after packing up in the morning.

The guests who came to celebrate the birthday at the gate of the Hou Mansion came and went, but these people's identities were not noble, and they were all officials from small families.

Mrs. Wen was born as a village woman and could not read a lot of Chinese characters. Even if her son is now Lord Hou, the noble ladies of the imperial capital still look down on her, and it is impossible for her to condescend to congratulate her on her birthday.

The guests who came today were all small officials, and they were usually flattering people from Wende City. They took advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with him.

The lobby was full of laughter and joy, until Wen Nianruan's figure came into view, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and their faces were all indifferent.

With the lesson from last time, there is no need to remind everyone, everyone came forward to salute, and Wen Nianruan had to be regarded as the guest of honor.

Old Mrs. Wen's face was dark, and her expression was extremely reluctant. Today is her birthday, but Wen Nianruan's expression still depends on her.

Wen Nianruan couldn't control that much, since she was invited to celebrate her birthday, she had to be sacrificed.

Compared with other people's indifference, Shen Guangshi smiled and bent over to be extra flattering: "I pay my respects to Concubine Wen."

Wen Deyan on the side looked embarrassed and pinched him secretly.

Shen Guangshi gave Wen Deyan a dark look, his face was also not good-looking, because this is the Hou Mansion, and everyone from the Wen family is here, so it is not easy to get angry, so he had to sit back in his seat resentfully.

I couldn't help scolding Wen Deyan in my heart, "Stupid woman."

Shen Guangshi is Wen Deyan's man, and also a small county magistrate of the prefecture and county. He has a smooth appearance. Perhaps he wants to take this opportunity to curry favor with Wen Nianruan, thinking that it will help him in his official career in the future.

But Wen Deyan didn't want to see Wen Nianruan, so naturally she wouldn't let her man get too close to her.

Wen Nianruan sat on the side, his delicate face looked weak, the tails of his eyes were raised, and the fox eyes were three points bright and seven points pure. His elegant appearance compared with all the women in the lobby.

In terms of appearance, she is the top beauty in the Hou Mansion.

Wen Nian turned his eyes softly, and said to Qiu Bai: "Bring the birthday gift to grandma."

Yes. "

Qiu Bai took a gift box and presented it: "This is a gift from my mother-in-law to the old lady, I hope the old lady will accept it."

"The old man thanked Concubine Wen."

Old Mrs. Wen put on a face without showing any thanks, took the gift box and opened it, inside was a pair of emerald jade bracelets inlaid with emerald gold.

Mrs. Wen's eyes lit up instantly, and her complexion looked much better. After all, she was born as a village woman, and she was still a money fanatic in her bones.

Wen Deyan salivated when she saw the pair of jade bracelets.

Li Huachun sat on the side, still treating each other coldly, as if he was tired of even looking at Wen Nianruan's daughter.

Wen Ruchu is still as close as ever, and it seems that she is the only one who treats Wen Nianruan as her own sister. She stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for Wen Nianruan, smiling gently: "I heard that the fourth sister had a heart attack some time ago. It happened again, I don’t know if it’s better now.”

Wen Nianruan didn't take her tea, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it didn't reach his eyes: "If it's not good, I won't come to celebrate grandma's birthday."

Wen Ruchu smiled slightly: "What the fourth sister said is true, blame me for asking too much."

The hot tea in his hand hurt, and Wen Nianruan didn't take it for a long time, so Wen Ruchu had to put it down and sit back in his seat.

From the beginning to the end, she kept a dignified smile on her face.

With Wen Nianruan around, everyone couldn't let go of chatting, and the air in the lobby was a little frozen.

After a while, the housekeeper ran over to deliver a message: "Old Madam, Concubine Wen and His Royal Highness Wen Wang are here."

"Quick, hurry up and meet."

Mrs. Wen hurriedly stood up with a cane to entertain her, her enthusiastic appearance was completely different from when she saw Wen Nianruan.

Before Wen Ruochu and Xiao Weifeng entered the lobby, everyone went out to greet them, only Wen Nianruan sat still.

Wen Ruochu's complexion was rosy, the brows were tinged with a mature charm, and his gestures were a little more noble. It seemed that after marrying into the royal family, his whole demeanor changed, and he must have had a good time in Prince Wen's Mansion.

Every time Xiao Weifeng saw Wen Nianruan, his eyes would change, getting hotter every time.

In his heart, not only will the throne be his sooner or later, but even Wen Nianruan is in his pocket.

Every time he saw Wen Nianruan's charming and pure face, he felt itchy, and sometimes even regretted why he didn't sleep with her first, to taste it.

Looking at Xiao Weifeng's staring at Wen Nianruan, Wen Ruochu's face tightened, and his heart was terrified, always afraid that Xiao Weifeng's heart would be taken away by Wen Nianruan.

Wen Ruochu hid the embarrassment on his face, stepped forward to block Xiao Wei's cover on purpose, and exchanged pleasantries with Wen Nianruan with a smile: "I didn't expect the fourth sister to come so early, it's all because I overslept in the morning and got up late, "Looking at Xiao Weifeng from behind, he said in a coquettish voice: "The prince didn't know to call his concubine, and almost delayed the hour."

Although the words were complaining, they secretly showed affection in front of Wen Nianruan.

Wen Nianruan acted as if he didn't see anyone in front of him, without even raising his eyelids.

It was Wen Deyan who took up the conversation, smiling flatteringly: "How can Princess Wen blame the prince for coming? The prince also loves you for not getting enough sleep, so he is reluctant to wake you up."

Mrs. Wen echoed with a smile: "That's right, the prince and Ruochu have such a good relationship, why would Ruochu not sleep well."

Even Li Huachun, who had been keeping a cold face, showed a smile, cast a glance at Wen Ruochu, and scolded with a smile: "You child, the prince treats you so well, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings."

Everyone in the hall echoed and complimented the two of them, Wen Ruochu's face was shy, and his brows and eyes were filled with happiness.

Only Wen Nianruan sat quietly, like an outsider, his half-closed fox eyes full of laziness.

Qiu Bai didn't hold his breath like Wen Nianruan, and kept rolling his eyes in secret. Everyone here didn't know that her mother liked King Wen at the beginning, and now she praises the love between the two in front of her, isn't it just to scare her off? Is it my wife?

With the addition of Wen Ruochu and Xiao Weifeng, everyone started chatting again, and the conversation was full of enthusiasm. Wen Nianruan sitting on the side seemed out of place.

Wen Nianruan got a headache from the noise, and was too lazy to listen to their blah, and got up: "I have a sore back and a sore back from sitting, go out for a walk, you two continue chatting."

After speaking, she walked out of the lobby without waiting for anyone else to reply.

Shen Lingzhi pursed her lips and snorted: "I really know how to put on airs, I don't know why I asked her to come, it depends on her face."

Everyone didn't care about Wen Nianruan, they continued to chat, without her, they chatted more happily.

Xiao Weifeng took a sip of the wine, his eyes darkened, and he found a reason to leave the lobby.

Wen Nianruan followed the memory of the original owner and wandered around the mansion, wanting to visit the yard where the original owner was alive. While walking on the road, suddenly a hand stretched out and took her behind a rockery.

Qiu Bai exclaimed in shock, and was knocked unconscious just as he was about to shout.
