The Queen's Concubine can't be provoked

Chapter 89 The Unknown Things

"My son, Eldest Young Master, Eldest Miss, Miss Cousin, Madam asked the servants to say that the banquet is about to start, please go back." In the pavilion in the back garden of the General's Mansion, Su Qin and the others were chatting when they heard Wei Xin The maid beside Shi replied.

"Understood." Wei Yi responded, then turned to look at Yunlin, "My lord, let's go back?"

In response, Yun Lin stood up from the stone bench. When Su Qin and Wei Jiao saw him get up, they also got up and walked out of the pavilion together.

After a while, several people returned to the main hall, and the servants were already serving dishes one after another. Su Qin and Wei Jiao were sitting beside Wei Xin, waiting for a birthday present for Mrs. Wei.

Different from other people, foreigners who celebrate their birthdays will hand over the gifts to the steward when they enter the door, while people from their own family like Su Qin will present gifts during the birthday banquet and then say some auspicious words.

To be honest, Su Qin felt a little uneasy. She felt that the gift in her hand was a little too thin, but there was no other way. On the road before, all the gifts she brought were lost. If she hadn't met Yunlin yesterday, she would have I'm afraid she won't be able to take out such a gift.

Although the ancients paid attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, but at today’s birthday banquet, the situation of not talking about eating and sleeping does not exist at all. Suqin would be asked a few words by the wives of officials or wealthy businessmen from time to time, obviously , They are all very interested in this official lady from the imperial capital.

"My grandson wished my grandma a blessing like the long flowing water in the East China Sea, and a longevity longer than that of an old man in Nanshan. In order to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, my grandson specially found a red coral, and I hope my grandma likes it." Just as Suqin was busy dealing with those wives At that moment, Wei Yi's voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention, and then Su Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay." For grandson's gift, Madam Wei naturally liked it very much. After she praised it twice, she asked someone to present the gift.

Immediately, exclamations erupted in the main hall. You must know that corals are precious, let alone red corals. Although this one is not too big, it is also very hard to find, and the price is probably not low.

Suqin had wondered before, isn't Wei Yi afraid of being impeached for preparing such an expensive gift?

With doubts, she asked Wei Jiao quietly, and Wei Jiao smiled indifferently when she found out, "I thought you knew, but I didn't expect you didn't know. We don't rely on the imperial salary for our family money."

Hearing what Wei Jiao said, Su Qin couldn't help being a little surprised. Seeing her like this, Wei Jiao continued to say, "Our Wei family has its own business, and it's not too small. Those are all grandmother's properties. My aunt passed away early. I must have never told you, so it's normal that you don't know."

From Wei Jiao's explanation, Suqin knew that her grandmother was a person who knew how to run a business. It is no exaggeration to say that the shops she ran were found in the entire Xing'an Dynasty, and even in other countries. Yes, so the Wei family didn't pay much attention to the court's salary.

In fact, when Mrs. Wei got married, Mrs. Wei specially left a few shops in the capital for Wei's dowry, but after Mrs. Wei's death, all these fell into the hands of Mrs. Shen.

The original owner didn't have too many memories about the shop, and Nanny Hua didn't mention it much, so Su Qin really didn't know these things very well. The only thing she knew was that after the death of her mother Wei, Some things were left behind, and they were all kept by Aunt Hua.

"Qin'er, what are you thinking?" Wei Xin's voice came, pulling Su Qin out of his thoughts, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

"Auntie, I'm fine." Smiling and shaking his head, Su Qin turned his gaze back to the front. At this time, the red coral has been moved down. Wei Jiao walked up with the gift that Wei Yi helped to prepare. For her gift , Mrs. Wei is also very satisfied.

When Wei Jiao came back, it was Suqin's turn. She bit her lip lightly, and then walked up with the box, "Granddaughter wishes grandma good health and great blessings. All these blessings are given to my cousin and cousin." Having said that, the granddaughter has no choice but to give gifts."

He presented the box in his hand, and the nun next to Mrs. Wei took it, and then presented it to her.

Opening the box and taking a look, Mrs. Wei said with a smile, "You are so considerate, you know that I need such a thing, the presents from Yi'er and Jiao'er are too big, how about you? play."

Hearing what Mrs. Wei said, Su Qin knew that she was trying to save herself. No matter how she compared her gifts, her gifts were not as good as those of Wei Yi and Wei Jiao, but there were so many people present, and she was only so small. A small gift, people can't help but say something after seeing it. Now Mrs. Wei has shown that she likes it very much, so naturally no one will say anything.

After saluting to Mrs. Wei, Su Qin stepped back and sat back beside Wei Xin. Mrs. Wei smiled and looked at her granddaughter until she sat down before she looked away. All these behaviors showed that , Mrs. Wei is very satisfied with her granddaughter.

The birthday banquet was still going on, and everyone had almost eaten at this time, the men couldn't help changing glasses, it was very lively, while the women were chatting and watching the invited troupe. Babbling and performing.

After a while, Mrs. Wei said that she was tired, so she pleaded guilty to everyone and was about to go down to rest. Seeing this opportunity, Su Qin and Wei Jiao got up quickly and came to Mrs. Wei's side. Supporting her from one side to the other, they left the main hall together.

"You two ghost girls, isn't it good to stay in the main hall and listen to the opera, why do you have to join in the fun with my old lady?" She said with a smile, and Mrs. Wei let her granddaughter and granddaughter support her, and walked towards the backyard.

"Grandmother is not the same. She obviously doesn't like the mess in the main hall, but she just said that she wants to rest when she is tired." Wei Jiao said with a smile, which made Mrs. Wei laugh.

"It's a good birthday banquet. I originally thought about having a meal with our own family. It's good. These officials and wealthy businessmen don't know where they got the news, so they insisted on joining in the fun. Instead of going back to the house, let's go to the garden for a stroll. "Su Qin couldn't help but also snickered when he heard Mrs. Wei chatting with Wei Jiao.

If grandma didn't tell her cousin, she really thought that grandma was tired and wanted to rest. Unexpectedly, the old man thought that those officials and rich businessmen were too noisy, so she found a reason to leave.

"Girl Qin, this person has a bad memory when he's old. I've been thinking of asking you something these past few days, but I always forgot. I have set up a few shops, how is the business now?”
