Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 396
There were quite a few people who came to Xiao Mo's birthday party today, so naturally they couldn't give her gifts one by one. They put the gifts with the housekeeper when they entered the door, and a special person was in charge of registration.

Princess Jiu and Wang Zimo sat aside, chatting chatteringly. Occasionally, someone came up to say hello to Princess Jiu. Princess Jiu was not very interested, so she dismissed them with a few words and continued to talk to Wang Zimo.

Seeing that almost all the people came, Jiang Yanran and Xiao Mo finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing the two standing behind the main seat, Jiang Yanran picked up the wine glass that the maidservant had already poured: "Thank you for taking the time to come and celebrate my little girl's birthday."

Seeing that there were two possible toasts, everyone also raised the glasses in their hands one after another, touched each other in the air, and drank them all.

After all, Jiang Yanran is the organizer of the banquet, but not the host of the banquet. After saying a word, she pushed Xiao Mo from behind, motioning her to say a few words.

Xiao Mo stepped forward and acted gracefully. After talking about the scene, everyone sat down.

For this banquet, Zhao Min's position is to let Wang Zimo make a fool of himself in front of everyone and ruin his reputation.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about this matter, and she asked him to come up with a way.

After sitting down, Xiao Mo watched Wang Zimo whispering to Princess Ninth, and couldn't help clenching her wine glass tightly.

This is her purpose, but Xiao Mo doesn't know the little Jiujiu in Jiang Yanran's heart.

Jiang Yanran helped her organize this banquet with such enthusiasm, because she wanted to take this opportunity to see the young talents in the imperial city.

Although Xiao Mo said last time that she wanted to stay with her at home for a while, Jiang Yanran felt relieved, but her marriage must be put on the agenda, otherwise she will really become an old girl.

The banquet at this time was also boring, it was nothing more than that after everyone sent their blessings to Xiao Mo, Jiang Yanran would invite singing and dancing slaves to sing and dance, display piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it was nothing more than these few activities.

"It's for you, Mo'er, congratulations, you've grown another year, and you'll be a big girl in the future, don't be so self-willed like this year."

Sitting on the table next to Xiao Mo, Xiao Yichen handed a gift box to Xiao Mo.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo's eyes were full of surprises, and she took it carefully: "Thank you, brother."

Every year Xiao Yichen would prepare a gift for Xiao Mo, but he never picked it himself, he always asked the servant next to him to buy it for her.

Xiao Mo also knew this, but she was also very happy to receive the gift from her eldest brother. She also kept the gifts that Xiao Yichen gave her every year in a special box, and took them out to appreciate from time to time.

Xiao Yichen chuckled, and then looked away from Xiao Mo's face.

Xiao Mo happily took the gift box, put it on the table gently, and wiped it with a handkerchief.

"Mo'er."

After hearing Jiang Yanran calling her, the expression on Xiao Mo's face froze for a moment, and then she smiled decently: "What's the matter? Mother."

I saw Jiang Yanran glanced at the man sitting at the banquet: "Mo'er, look, there are so many young masters, is there a man that Mo'er likes?"

Xiao Mo's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly understood why Jiang Yanran helped her organize the banquet this year, but she pretended to be a shy little girl and lowered her head, but she never looked at those men, but secretly He glanced at Xiao Yichen.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Are you going to embarrass your daughter to death?"

Jiang Yanran was not as easy to fool as she was last time this time: "Mo'er, take a closer look at Tiaocha, after the banquet is over, there are still many brochures brought by the matchmaker, you can go with your mother." Take a look, if you really don't like someone, then mother can make the decision for you, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, I have to believe in your mother's vision, and I will definitely find you a good home."

Jiang Yanran's words are not exaggerated at all. Although Xiao Mo is the adopted daughter of the General's Mansion, she is the daughter of the General's Mansion after all. Looking at all the young talents in the entire imperial city, why not just let her choose?

She didn't believe that there would be anyone who was blind to reject the olive branch offered by the general's mansion.

"Okay." Xiao Mo's expression was very stiff, forcing herself to smile, "I will take a good look."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min looked at Jiang Yanran's gratified eyes and turned his head. He casually looked at the men and women at the banquet, and stayed on Wang Zimo's face for a few seconds before flashing away.

Wang Zimo was already tired of watching the performance during the banquet, but when they were performing the dance, she quietly looked at Xiao Yichen who was sitting on the table next to Xiao Mo.

And Xiao Yichen also looked at Wang Zimo the whole time, the two made no secret of their love for each other, and they just flirted with each other in full view.

During the banquet, other people only cared about themselves or talked to the people next to them. For such banquets, they have participated in countless times since they were young, and they can also find fun by themselves.

Only Xiao Mo kept her eyes on Xiao Yichen's body. After noticing that he looked at Wang Zimo frequently, she couldn't help but tightly clutched the handkerchief in her hand, her teeth were about to be crushed.

After the performance of this program, there are actually other programs below, but before the person came up, Xiao Mo stood up "teng", and Jiang Yanran looked at her suspiciously, and saw her slowly Open your mouth.

"I think everyone is a bit tired of watching the singing and dancing here. Why not go for a walk in the backyard. The lotus flowers in Guanxin Lake are all in bloom. The weather is so good, the lakeside is cool, and you can enjoy the lotus. Why not do it?" ?”

After listening to Xiao Mo's opinion, everyone seconded it one after another. They also thought it was a good proposal. It was indeed a bit tired to sit here all the time, so they flocked to the side of Guanxin Lake.

After Jiang Yanran heard what Xiao Mo said just now, she was very comforted in her heart. It was a great improvement for her to be able to take charge of herself and say these words to everyone. After all, she had never held an event for her before. Such a big party.

"Mother, let's go too." Seeing that the crowd was already heading towards Guanxin Lake under the leadership of the servant girl, Xiao Mo supported Jiang Yanran to go there too.

Especially since Xiao Yichen had already got up, Xiao Mo wanted to go with him, her tone was a little eager.

Jiang Yanran shook her head gently: "You guys go, I'm tired, I'll go back to rest first, remember, Mo'er, you are the master of this house, you must take good care of these guests."

"Well, I know, mother." Listening to Jiang Yanran's instructions, Xiao Mo nodded lightly, and after she left, she also walked there accompanied by Nanny Chen.
