Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 68: Rong Mansion Birthday Banquet (8)
It was the first time Xia Qingge had seen such a scene since waking up, so he couldn't help but look a few more times out of curiosity.

The car passed Yangxiu Street and headed towards the north gate. After driving for about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

Jiang Nanny lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside before turning around: "Girl, we have arrived at the gate of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion. This old servant will go down and let the doorman report."

Xia Qingge nodded, Jiang Nanny lifted the curtain and walked down, Xia Qingge then looked through the curtain towards the gate.

The gate of Rongguo Mansion is very similar to that of Xiuguo Mansion, but relatively speaking, the gate of Rongguo Mansion seems to be more grand.

The exquisitely carved patterns on the red lacquered gate are extremely exquisite. As for the two knockers on the gate, Xia Qingge can recognize at a glance that they must be a pair of second-hand antiques, and they are definitely worth a lot.

Generally, the most important thing for a rich family is to look good, and the Rongguo Duke's Mansion is no exception. The majestic atmosphere at the gate has already demonstrated the status of this mansion.

Xia Qingge watched carefully for a while, and then saw Mother Jiang turn around and walk back from the gate.

When she came to the side, she opened the curtain of the car door and said to Xia Qingge who was inside: "Miss, let's go in. The steward at the door has already informed Mrs. Yang. As soon as she heard that it was you who came, she immediately sent someone out to greet you." Woolen cloth."

Xia Qingge got off the carriage with the support of Xichun and Wushuang, and walked into Rongguo Duke's mansion under the guidance of Nanny Jiang.

When they turned all the way into the Hanging Flower Gate, they saw a few wives hurriedly walking inside, and the leader of them circled around for a while after seeing Mother Jiang.

Jiang Nanny brought her to Xia Qingge's side and said, "This is the daughter of the third lady, the eldest lady of the Duke Xiu's mansion."

At this time, Xia Qingge also met the woman in front of her. She was only about fifty years old and looked much younger than Nanny Jiang, but judging from Nanny Jiang's tone just now, this nanny seemed to be older than her how old.

She has a fair and round complexion, and is very rich. She wears a pair of peacock brocade gown with blue cloud pattern and pearls on her upper body, and a pleated satin skirt with dark floral silk on her lower body.

The overall appearance is extraordinary and atmospheric.

"Miss, this is Madam Gao next to Mrs. Yang."

Xia Qingge smiled and said, "Qingge has met Gao Nai."

Gao Momo hastily stepped forward and held Xia Qingge's hand affectionately, her eyes were full of smiles: "Young lady, please don't beat this old slave."

Xia Qingge looked up at Nanny Gao, smiled sweetly and said, "Mommy is a capable old man by my grandmother's side, so you can certainly stand Qing Ge's respect."

When Nanny Gao heard her words, she naturally had a good impression of this young lady whom she met for the first time.

"It's really handsome, and this small mouth is so sweet, hehe, if the old lady sees this handsome look, she won't like it."

Xia Qingge nodded slightly and smiled shyly: "Nurse Gao, don't laugh at Qingge anymore."

"Okay, the old slave can't delay any longer, Miss Biao, follow the old slave, the old lady is waiting for you."

"Also ask the mother to lead the way."

Nanny Gao walked in front and led Xia Qingge all the way to Cixiaoyuan, the courtyard where Old Madam Yang lived.

She was also secretly thinking along the way, there were rumors in the capital that Miss Biao was stupid and ugly, but seeing her today, how can she be called ugly?If the eldest lady's beauty is considered ugly, then the capital may not be able to pick out any beauties.

The Cixiao Courtyard is on the east side of the whole house, where the sunshine is the longest, so the location is the most suitable for the elderly to live in.

Xia Qingge walked through the garden all the way after entering the Hanging Flower Gate, and walked through several corridors. It took about a quarter of an hour to get down all the way. Based on this calculation, Nanny Gao must have trotted over just now. From this point Look, Mrs. Yang should be fond of Xia Qingge, her granddaughter.

hall

Old Mrs. Yang was sitting at the head, and on both sides were some young ladies who were still out of the pavilion, and her wives had already been arranged in the side hall.

Most of the women here are boudoir ladies of various clans. Every year, Mrs. Yang's birthday banquet will let these ladies accompany her, and it is also a good time to see what new ideas are in the congratulatory gifts they present.

The most important thing is that there will be many children from aristocratic families coming to congratulate them, and they can also watch the birthday gifts of the young ladies at this time. To put it bluntly, it is like going on a blind date.

Because the background of the Rongguo Mansion is one of the most prominent families among these big families, backed by the Empress Dowager Lafayette and the Empress Dowager Defei.

The identities of those who can come to celebrate the birthday are naturally extremely prominent.

At this time, there were more than a dozen young ladies sitting around the room, and the young ladies surrounding the old matriarch were the concubine daughters and concubine daughters of the Yang family.

By analogy, sit in a few rows according to identity and relationship.

At this time, Xia Yuhan saw that the young ladies of the Yang family had already sent birthday greetings to the old matriarch, so she slowly stood up and said to the old matriarch Yang: "Old matriarch, although Haner's birthday today My sister was not able to come to you to fulfill my filial piety, but Han'er is here to congratulate you on behalf of my sister, and Han'er wishes the old lady a prosperous life and a happy life."

Xia Yuhan's words were a pun, not only explaining that he came here with Xia Qingge's invitation card because Xia Qingge could not come, but also implying that Xia Qingge ignored his grandmother.

It is conceivable that a person who has not come to his grandmother's side to perform his filial piety for more than ten years will be talked about by others if it is heard by others?

Mrs. Yang stared at Xia Yuhan for a while, with a loving smile between her brows and eyes: "Han'er girl, huh, huh, I haven't seen you for a year, she really looks more and more beautiful."

Xia Yuhan's face was full of shyness, and she nodded slightly: "The old lady is wonderful, Han'er is ashamed." Hearing the old lady's tone, Xia Yuhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the old lady Yang You still don't know that Xia Qingge fell into the water and died.

"Hehe, I deserve it." The old lady smiled, but a gleam of light flashed in her eyes and continued, "By the way, your mother is here today?"

When Xia Yuhan heard it, her face turned pale instantly. What does Old Madam Yang mean?Knowing that her mother is an aunt, she would not be invited to such a birthday banquet, why would she ask such a question?
At this time, a young girl next to Mrs. Yang took Mrs. Yang's arm affectionately: "Grandmother, are you confused? This Miss Han is the second lady of Xiuguo's mansion, her biological mother It is said that it is an aunt in the mansion, so according to the rules, it is no longer within the scope of invitation."

Mrs. Xia seems to have just reacted, and reached out to pat the girl's hand: "Look at me, I'm really getting older and more confused. Every time Miss Haner comes here these years, I always mistake her for which family Miss Diqin, I'm really old and confused."
