Chapter 89: Birthday Banquet (1)
These people all know that Yun Qingyin has no father or mother now, although Shen Anqiu can't make jokes, but those who are older than Yun Qingyin still have some plans for her.

"Dowry, I saved some myself, but it's just for outsiders to see, so I don't need that much."

Little Hui's mother disagreed, "The dowry is your confidence in your husband's family. There is no harm in having more, and it is all our wishes."

"Ok."

Seeing that she insisted, Yun Qingyin didn't say anything anymore.

Shopkeeper Dong stretched his head and looked out for a long time, but he didn't hear the bell anymore. Yun Qingyin took off the bell on his wrist, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and then entered the restaurant, just in time to see Shopkeeper Dong.

"Shopkeeper Dong is coming to eat again?"

Shopkeeper Dong got up to welcome her to sit down, "Miss, the cook here is so skilled that people want to come here even after eating it. I heard that the cook is Master Yu's apprentice?"

"It's him, shopkeeper Dong, don't be humble, your shop is also constantly in business, and it is uniquely famous on this street."

"Yun Qingyin."

Cong Ling'er showed up at the restaurant with her maid, no longer the resentment on her face when she saw her like in the past, but an uncharacteristically good mood, "I heard that you are about to get married, you must be very happy in your heart. "

Yun Qingyin is not a fool, Cong Ling'er said so, maybe there is something bad in her heart.

In the past two years, Cong Ling'er hadn't gotten a favor from her once, so even she admired her unremitting efforts.

"You came here to congratulate me?"

Cong Ling'er said, "Yes, congratulations, I will definitely prepare a generous gift when the time comes, and I'm afraid I won't be able to give it away."

Yun Qingyin suppressed her smile, "I don't like to hear such words recently, come here, throw her out for me!"

Before shopkeeper Dong could make a sound, a figure appeared, and the next moment, Cong Ling'er was thrown out.

Shopkeeper Dong hurriedly followed out, Yun Qingyin asked, "Treasurer Dong knows her?"

"There was a relationship."

Shopkeeper Dong went out, and the maid had already helped Cong Ling'er up from the ground, Cong Ling'er looked down at the scratches on her hands, Yun Qingyin, wait for me, you won't be able to laugh for long.

"Miss Cong, is there some misunderstanding between you and Miss Yun? She is not a fool."

Cong Ling'er naturally also recognized Shopkeeper Dong. The other party has always been respectful to her, and the items they sent were very satisfactory to her, so she was polite to Shopkeeper Dong, "Isn't she a fool, am I? If you After speaking for her, there is no need to come to the Cong Mansion."

Although she doesn't know why shopkeeper Dong flatters her, Cong Linger feels that shopkeeper Dong is very respectful to her and often sends some good things to her. Even she can only get some of those things occasionally. Cong Linger still doesn't want to break the relationship Shopkeeper Dong's contacts.

That said, it was nothing more than a threat.

Shopkeeper Dong was embarrassed for a moment, "Miss Cong, don't be angry, the injury on your hand is serious, you'd better go to the doctor's office to have a look."

Watching Cong Ling'er leave, Shopkeeper Dong frowned imperceptibly. If it had been before, he would not have let go of this opportunity to work for the future mistress. He should personally accompany her to the medical center and take care of everything. But at this time, shopkeeper Dong didn't want to go.

This Cong girl is more arrogant than he imagined.

It seems that he needs to remind Lao Du a few more words to be more careful when in contact with her, so as not to be self-defeating.

……

Yun Qingyin returned to the town from Donglong Street.

Princess Anning walked up and down at the door.

"When did you come?"

Yun Qingyin took the parasol, and Princess Anning said, "I just came here, and after a month, Father finally let go, Yun Qingyin, thank you."

The two entered the backyard and sat down in the shade.

Yun Qingyin looked at Princess Anning, "He is already free, why don't you look happy at all?"

Princess An Ning sighed, "I'm very happy, but his move has offended the Earl's Mansion. I'm afraid that the Liu family will not let him go. I'm worried that he will be unable to take a single step in the court in the future."

Yun Qingyin laughed, "Is this why you started worrying about him before you got married?"

Princess An Ning was embarrassed to be teased by Yun Qingyin, but after going through this incident, she could see her heart clearly, and her face became thicker, "Don't laugh at me, I didn't even laugh at you and Shen Anqiu. "

"Have you seen the queen?"

Speaking of this, Princess Anning became discouraged, "I went every day this month, but I was sent back by Nanny Cui looking for reasons. It seems that the emperor's grandmother has made up her mind not to admit it."

"In order to avoid having long nights and dreams, your affairs should be settled early."

It is estimated that Master Wen's insistence on canceling the marriage with the Liu family offended the old emperor, making him so angry that he forgot to mention the marriage. Before this matter was brought up to the public, Princess Anning had to make a marriage.

"But the imperial grandmother didn't see me."

Princess Anning was also a little anxious.

"Is there any major event in each government recently?"

Princess An Ning suddenly thought of something, "The old lady of the Duke's Mansion will celebrate her birthday at the end of this month. The old Duke has made countless achievements and is very admirable. The old lady's birthday at the end of the month is going to be a big one. People can be regarded as acquaintances in boudoir, she will definitely go, this is the only chance."

"I'm afraid I won't go. There is no way to help you inside, but I will guard outside. If I see the Queen Mother Luanjia, I will stop it for you."

If Yun Qingyin was still in Zhongyonghou's Mansion, she would definitely receive the post, but Shen Nanyun should be invited by the Duke's Mansion.

But unexpectedly, two days later, Yun Qingyin received a banquet invitation from the Duke's Mansion.

The person who came to deliver the letter was a small steward of the Duke’s Mansion, and the other party was respectful and friendly, with a very good attitude, "My old lady still remembers the incident of the girl’s water truck, such a measure that benefits the country and the people, the old lady said that even if she is I can't do it, she hasn't been out of the house for many years, and I want to see the girl by this opportunity."

Yun Qingyin put down the post, "Please report to the old lady for me, I will definitely be there on time."

Not only her here, Shen Anqiu also received it, but it was a post sent to him by the younger son of the Duke's Mansion.

Yun Qingyin was curious, "Do you still have contacts with the Duke's Mansion?"

Shen Anqiu shook his head, "I've been in touch a few times."

Stroking her hair, it was so soft, Shen Anqiu imagined how beautiful she would look in full dress, "Some jewelry has already been made, so I can try it this time."

Shen Anqiu had heard the rumors that Yun Qingyin, a businesswoman, was not worthy of him, but in his heart, no one was as good as her.

Rumors and rumors hurt people, thinking that in the future, if he returns to the Xuanpinghou Mansion, the rumors will be even worse.

Yun Qingyin didn't want to wear gold, silver and jewelry on her head, "No, I still have a lot of them, and wearing them for a long time, I'm afraid my neck will be sore."

"I specifically ordered them to reduce the weight as much as possible, which is more than half lighter than the normal one." Shen Anqiu pinched her cheek, "It looks so good, I just want them to see it, you have to fight, I'm not good enough for you the truth."

"..."

Yun Qingyin was convinced, "It's really the first time I've seen you think so."

Shen Anqiu took her hand and kissed her obsessively, "I've always been the one to climb."

He will always remember the day when he followed Shen Dongdong back from school and saw her at Shen Dongdong's house. She and Fat Aunt sat together laughing and talking, the smile on her face was gentle and bright, which disturbed his heart almost instantly.
……

The jewelry and clothes that Shen Anqiu mentioned were delivered quickly, and Yun Qingyin picked them out boredly. Sure enough, as Shen Anqiu said, the texture is very light, but the style is extremely brilliant, and the workmanship is very delicate. Xiao Hui Niang just came over and saw Then exclaimed.

"These are all clever jobs. I'm afraid we can only pick out one or two people who can do such fine handicrafts in our shop. It doesn't take ten years for them to work hard. But such people are arrogant and very difficult to recruit. Yes, the workmanship is also very slow.”

The slow workmanship means that these people cannot be hired to be the hairpins in the shop, otherwise the cost will be too high, and ordinary shops can't support it.

Little Hui Niang kissed that enviously, "I'm afraid it will take four or five Hairpin Niangs to do these for a few months?"

Yun Qingyin was surprised, "So long?"

Little Hui Niang nodded her head, "You really don't know the price of food, rice, oil and salt. If such jewelry is on the market, I'm afraid it will be snapped up like crazy."

Seeing her really shocked look, Xiao Hui's mother was sure that she really didn't know. She sighed in her heart that this girl was married to the right person. Ordinary men always hold the saying that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and feels that women's clothes and jewelry are stained. These things made others laugh like they delayed his career.

But people who are really capable don't care about these things.

Yun Qingyin held up a golden hairpin, "Shen Anqiu said that this is only the first one, and there are still some that haven't been built yet."

Little Hui didn't want to talk anymore.

"Forget it, he has taken care of everything for you, so I don't have to worry about it."

"What are you talking about?" Aunt Lan opened the curtain and came in with a gentle smile, "I heard you sigh from afar."

Little Hui's mother often walks around Yun Qingyin's side, so she is naturally familiar with Aunt Lan, and said with a smile, "I'm envious of this girl's good eyesight, and she picked a good husband for herself."

"I'm not happy to say that." Aunt Lan sat down, "I'm not married yet."

She saw the jewelry on the table, "What a coincidence, where did this come from? With these, it seems that what I brought will not be needed."

Little Hui mother said, "I also brought some when I came. I didn't know that Mr. Shen had already prepared it. I saw that he had put his mind into it. It shows how much he cherishes this girl. When he gets married, he can have such a beautiful girl." Taking care of her personally is also reassuring."

"That's what it means." Aunt Lan nodded, seeing Yun Qingyin's rare blushing, she joked, "Is this embarrassing? Who was it that generously admitted that the person I like is so-and-so."

Yun Qingyin almost stamped her feet, "Aunt Lan."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Aunt Lan said seriously, "This time is the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, and all the mansions in the capital will give it face, and there will be quite a few people going, so you will follow Are we still at the Zhongyonghou Mansion?"

"Shen Anqiu is going too, I can go with him." I don't know if she was teased a lot today, but Yun Qingyin felt a little hot when she said the name, "An Ning will be with me when we arrive at the Duke's Mansion, Aunt Lan will take good care of her." The palace is fine."

"It's okay." They are all in the same mansion anyway, and they will be there at that time, whether they sit together or not is not so important.

Little Hui sat for a while before leaving.

Aunt Lan sent her to the door. Both of them were gentle people with similar temperaments and could talk together. However, after sending her away, Aunt Lan did not leave.

Yun Qingyin knew that she still had something to say.

Aunt Lan asked, "Did you hear that the palace is going to choose concubines for the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince?"

"Isn't this person at the old lady's birthday banquet?"

"Exactly, the old lady's little granddaughter is beautiful, and the old man has been a soldier all his life. It's not surprising that he can get such an honor."

The Duke's Mansion is loyal to the country, but the Dingnan Palace is not bad. It has never been heard that the Duke's Mansion is under suspicion, but only the Dingnan Palace is put on fire.

Yun Qingyin's tone was cold, "They are both meritorious officials, why is there such a big difference in treatment."

"The prince's heart is also chilling, but fortunately, the veterans in the court are very sensible. Mr. Cong has also secretly pressured the household department many times to help solve the issue of military pay, but these are their adults' affairs, so you don't have to worry too much."

"I know." Yun Qingyin asked the question in his heart, "Although the Duke's Mansion doesn't manage soldiers and horses, but the meritorious service in the past is there, this marriage seems random, but when you think about it carefully, it seems like an excellent arrangement. "

"You and Shizi thought about going together." Aunt Lan looked at her appreciatively.

"I also suddenly thought of this. The Seventh Prince is very popular among the people. In the court, Zhou Huanshan has Zhou Huanshan in Wen, and the Duke's Mansion in Wu. Even the Crown Prince is not treated as well as him. Could it be that the Emperor..."

Aunt Lan shook her head, "The crown prince has been in power for many years. Although he has not made great achievements, he has not made any mistakes. To abolish the crown prince without reason is to shake the foundation of the country."

Yun Qingyin didn't quite believe it, "Could it be that such an arrangement was really unintentional?"

"The granddaughter of the old Duke's wife is said to have loved the Seventh Prince since she was a child."

"I see."

Aunt Lan sat and talked with Yun Qingyin for a long time before she got up and left. Aunt Lan said to her before she left, "I can see that although the prince is very picky about that child Anqiu on the surface, he is satisfied in his heart. Both the prince and the prince are satisfied. Treat him as one of your own, you didn't deliberately hide your life experience from him, let him not mind too much, you can tell him if you find a chance."

"it is good."

……

The day of the birthday party.

Because the banquet will not start until noon, Yun Qingyin is not in a hurry, she is admiring the jewelry while putting on makeup, Liu Zhu can't stand it anymore, "Miss, if you continue to play, Mr. Shen should come to remind you .”

"He's going today too, has he washed up yet?"

"Young Master, I finished washing up half an hour ago, and I'm just waiting for you."

"Don't be impatient, am I a freshman? How is Shen Anqiu dressed today?"

Liu Zhu smirked, "Miss is probably embarrassed to see Mr. Shen."

Yun Qingyin shot over with a glance, "You want to fight?"

Liu Zhu stuck out her tongue, "According to me, miss, you don't have to worry at all, just standing there with your face will attract everyone's attention, including Mr. Shen of course."

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door.

"It's Mr. Shen."

Liu Zhu went to open the door and invited someone to come in. He was very sensible and left space for the two of them.
