"Oh, this is a new one I learned, it's called osmanthus cake. Fresh osmanthus is added in it." Jing Wei said hurriedly.

"Added sweet-scented osmanthus? Now the sweet-scented osmanthus is almost gone?" Gu Yu asked.

"Yes. I just thought that the sweet-scented osmanthus is about to thank, so I thought about making more sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for the elders to taste. Today, my cousin and aunt are here, let's try it together, and look at me too Can your skills be mastered?" Jing smiled.

Jingyi smiled and picked up a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, took a small bite, and after chewing a few mouthfuls, she was surprised and praised: "Not bad! It's delicious. It's crispy, and there are sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in one bite." The smell of it. Cousin, taste it quickly."

Gu Yu also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly and praised: "It's really good. My cousin is very skilled!"

Jing Wei lowered her head in embarrassment, her face slightly blushing.

Jing Yi and Gu Yu ate a piece each, and after drinking two more cups of tea, the three of them chatted and laughed again.

Jingyi saw that Jingwei seemed to have something on her mind, she seemed to want to say something, but she hesitated to speak, and asked with a smile: "Sister came today, is there something to do? You might as well say it, it's better than you are in such a difficult situation now."

Jing Wei blushed, as if she didn't know how to speak.Gu Yu glanced at Jingyi, saw her smiling face, and didn't know what her plan was, so he could only follow Jingyi's words and say: "Yes, if you have something to say, why don't you speak up? They are all my sisters. Is there anything you can't say?"

After a while, Jingwei said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I heard that you are going to attend Ms. Cui's birthday banquet for a few days? I don't know if you can, can you take me with you?"

Jingyi nodded in understanding, Cui Qianqian is a legitimate daughter, so she definitely wouldn't post a post for Miss Concubine.And Jingwei is thinking of taking this opportunity to make more friends with a few daughters with backgrounds.

"What did my sister say? Since my sister wants to go, let's go together. It's just about congratulatory gifts."

Jing Wei said anxiously: "I know. I will prepare the gift myself, and I won't cause trouble to my mother and sister."

Jingyi smiled and said: "Sister, don't say that, my sister is also from the Houfu. If there is no suitable one, just tell your mother and ask her to prepare it for you."

Jing Wei waved her hand and said: "No need. I also have a lot of rare toys at my place. I'll go back and look for them to see what is suitable for Ms. Cui. Then I'll go back first, and I won't disturb your chatting." Said After finishing, he got up and gave Gu Yufu a blessing, and then went back.

Gu Yu looked at her receding back, turned around and asked, "Yiyi, what is she singing about?"

Jingyi shook her head: "Who knows? Let's see!"

Gu Yu chuckled lightly and said, "You concubine is really the best! Before her aunt treated you and aunt like that, she can pretend nothing happened and come here to curry favor with you! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do that." come out."

Jingyi pursed her lips and smiled, maybe that Jingwei didn't know that her aunt Bai was dead?This Jingwei is indeed interesting, did she forget that she once pushed herself down the rockery?Jingyi lightly shook her head, what happened in the past was that you were young, and since Mrs. Bai is dead, I don't want to pursue it any further. I just hope you can take care of yourself and don't make mistakes again and again.

In the afternoon, Jing Yi accompanied Gu Shi, and Jing Wei followed behind, sending Liu Shi and Gu Yu off together.

Gu Shi turned around and glanced at Jingwei and said: "Listen to Jingyi, you will also go to Ms. Cui's birthday party?"

Jingwei nodded timidly and said, "Yes, mother."

Mrs. Gu nodded, "It's getting colder, so it's time to prepare winter clothes. Tomorrow, I'll send someone into the mansion to measure your clothes. You are not allowed to run around. In the warehouse, there are clothes that the emperor rewarded you a few days ago." Some mink, and make each of you a cloak."

Both Jingwei and Jingyi blessed Fushen at the same time and said: "Thank you, mother."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand, "Okay. If there is nothing wrong, hurry up and learn the rules from Madam Hong. When it comes to Ms. Cui's birthday banquet, you are not allowed to break the rules and lose face to my residence."

"Yes. I would like to follow my mother's instruction." The two sisters said in unison.

After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she went to the flower hall to read the account books.As for Jingyi and Jingwei, they both went to Dongkua Academy to continue learning ladylike etiquette.

In a blink of an eye, it was Cui Qianqian's birthday.

Both Jingyi and Jingwei wore new clothes made by Gu's order, and went to Dingguo's mansion together under Gu's leadership.

When they arrived at the gate of Dingguo Duke's Mansion, there was a lot of joy. A lot of carriages had parked outside the gate. Looking at the signs of the carriages, they were all signs of the Duke's Mansion, Marquis' Mansion, Earl's Mansion, etc. of high status.

Jingyi and Jingwei followed Gu Shi and entered the Dingguo Palace together.

Jingyi and the others passed through the middle gate, and saw that the corridors of the Duke's mansion were back and forth, with high eaves and teeth, and pavilions, towers and pavilions, all of which had a majestic appearance!In the courtyard, there are ten steps to the first floor, five steps to a pavilion, green everywhere, patches of red, really prosperous and splendid, extremely luxurious.

When I arrived at the back garden of the Duke’s Mansion, I saw at a glance that there were four pavilions in the garden, including an octagonal pavilion, two hexagonal pavilions, and a plum blossom pavilion. In the octagonal pavilion, there were several young women playing the zither. Xiao, the beautiful flowers around the pavilion, coupled with this wonderful sound, makes people feel as if they are in a fairyland, and they will never forget to return!

There are long corridors on both sides of the east and west walls of the garden, extending to the garden gate.In the garden, autumn chrysanthemums, hibiscus and camellias are in full bloom.

After Jingyi glanced around, she saw Cui Qianqian talking with several daughters in the back garden.I saw that Cui Qianqian was wearing a light-colored contrasting waist-supporting bottom skirt today, with small pink lotus flowers all over her sleeves, a high Lingyun bun on her head, and a simple sash inserted obliquely. She sat on the embroidered stool with a red gold butterfly gait, her gait rippling in the wind, with a little cinnabar between her brows, it was quiet and elegant, and also added a touch of playfulness.

Cui Qianxi turned her head and saw Jingyi, got up with a smile, and walked over quickly, "Yiyi, you are here!"

Jingyi smiled and said: "Yiyi congratulated Sister Cui on her birthday!"

Cui Qianqian pulled her up and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I don't see you so sensible on weekdays, but today you will be a coincidence."

Jingwei blessed the body: "Jingwei congratulated Ms. Cui on her birthday." After finishing speaking, she motioned to the maid beside her to take a delicate small box, Jingwei took it, and held it in front of Cui Qianqian with both hands.

Cui Qianqian took a look at Jingwei, although she didn't like her, she didn't reach out to hit the smiling face, let alone came to give gifts!Cui Qianqian smiled lightly: "Thank you very much." After finishing speaking, she motioned to the maid beside her to accept Cui Qianqian's gift.

Although she was picked up by the maid, Jingwei was still a little happy, after all, Cui Qianqian was able to treat her kindly in public, which was enough to give her face.
