Chapter 47 The Birthday Banquet Begins

It was the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Cheng's family in the Hou Mansion. Before dawn, the wives and ladies in each mansion began to dress up, planning to attend Mrs. Cheng's birthday banquet in the best state of mind.

Today is my grandmother's birthday, at dawn, Lin Yiyue got up early, washed and dressed, she usually wears simple clothes, Lin Yiyue specially wore a light purple long dress embroidered with lotus today, Yu Chun gave her a new simple bun, although she was not as well-dressed as other young ladies, full of pearls and hairpins, but she was a little more beautiful than usual.

Just after the time of Yin, the old lady sent Madam Wu to the courtyards of the ladies, and asked her to personally invite the ladies to Muxiangyuan. The old lady always likes to show off among the noble ladies in the capital, and this time she wanted to show off to her in-laws. At the birthday banquet, she made a big splash, and by the way, she was looking for children from major families in Beijing for her granddaughters. Therefore, the old lady attached great importance to this birthday banquet.

Lin Yiyue looked at the two younger sisters beside her. They were all dressed in brand new costumes, which made them look better than a sedan chair. They seemed to be very concerned about this birthday banquet.

At this time, the old lady's attention was all on Qinglan Qingyu, looking at the two beautiful granddaughters who were very grandly dressed, she smiled gratifiedly and said: "All of you cheer me up, today is very exciting. On important occasions, you can't lose my face!"

Qinglan Qingyu hurriedly flattered her respectfully and honestly.

Lin Yiyue, who was standing by the side, kept smiling all the time. Although she didn't like this grandmother, she wouldn't immediately make her look bad. She thought that the old lady must feel that she couldn't control herself, so she had already treated her. I must have lost hope, but the old lady is wearing a dark red dress with moiré patterns today, doesn't she seem a bit overwhelming.

Seeing that Lin Yiyue didn't express anything to what she just said, the old lady's eyes sank, and then she asked Nanny Wu to fix her hair bun and jewelry. It wasn't until about ten o'clock that a group of four arrived in a soft sedan chair At this time, the carriage sent by Cheng's mansion had already been waiting for half an hour.

The old lady boarded the carriage with the attitude of the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion, posed in front of the maidservants of the Cheng Mansion, and sat in the carriage contentedly.

Lin Yiyue shook her head when she saw that the old lady was such a villain, her attitude was so high, it seemed that the old lady and her grandmother had been grudges for a long time!But today is in Cheng's mansion, how can this old lady be the opponent of grandmother, I am afraid that she will eat some good fruit today.

After the carriages were parked and everyone got out of the carriages, they realized that the entrance of Cheng Mansion had already been besieged. noble.

Seeing Cheng Fu's face being so great, the old lady gradually showed a look of envy in her shrewd eyes, thinking in her heart that when it came to her birthday, it would be much more lively than this.

Looking at the old lady's expression, Lin Yiyue naturally understood her psychology, and couldn't help laughing at this, the old lady's mentality of comparison is very serious!Look at Qinglan Qingyu next to her, have they ever seen such a big scene before, they were suppressed by Lin Qinglian before, and they could not participate in all kinds of banquets in the capital, and how many opportunities they missed to meet the noble sons of princes, grandsons, and noble sons, now they are guarded. See the moon.

Just as the old lady was about to lift her feet to enter the mansion, she saw Xu's carriage approaching the gate, so she knew that it was Xu's in-laws, so she stopped and waited to enter with her in-laws.

I saw that the carriage stopped slowly, and a servant immediately lifted the footboard and put it away. A nanny bent over and walked out from inside the carriage, and then helped out an old lady in dark blue with dark patterns from inside. Then came out two young ladies from the Fuchu.

As soon as Mrs. Xu got out of the carriage, she saw her in-laws not far away, and the two of them burst into smiles instantly, and praised each other's clothes, which was very speculative.

"Zhiyan met the old lady, and met the three cousins." Xu Zhiyan, a handsome gentleman, came riding from behind. He was dressed in a moonlight robe, with a refined face, and greeted everyone politely. He took a special look at Lin Yiyue .

Mrs. Lin looked at the extraordinary-looking young man, saluted her respectfully, and was very proud in her heart, "It turns out that he is the eldest son of the Xu family. He is really a good-looking talent! My grandson is not feeling well today, or you cousins ​​can come together Let's chat."

Mrs. Xu looked at her outstanding grandson, and said dotingly: "Don't praise him, Mrs. He was being reprimanded by his grandfather a few days ago." Turning around, she said, "Zhiyan, follow your grandfather and father. .”

After the two old ladies finished their polite words, they came down to the courtyard of Mrs. Cheng in the middle of the mansion under the guidance of the nanny of Cheng's mansion. At this time, the courtyard was full of festivities, and even the flowers on the branches in the courtyard were tied with red flowers. Silk and satin, presenting a joyful atmosphere.

Before everyone stepped into the main room, bursts of joyful laughter came from the warm pavilion.

Mrs. Lin straightened her clothes and led the three sisters Lin Yiyue into the inner room; Mrs. Xu next to her also smiled and led her granddaughter into the room.

"Old sister, I'm here." As soon as she entered the inner room, Mrs. Lin opened her mouth to today's old birthday star. Seeing that the room was full of distinguished ladies, she went straight to Mrs. Cheng and said with a smile: " In-laws, today is your [-]th birthday, and I have come here specially to celebrate your birthday!"

Mrs. Cheng was talking to the lady next to her, when she saw a person rushing towards her suddenly, and saw the person wearing a dark red suit, with a flash of impatience in her expression, she said lightly: "It's you! The person next to you It's your in-laws, how can I, an old woman, be able to climb high." I hated in my heart, if it wasn't for her, how could You Ruo have died so early, and Yiyue has been missing for so many years, it is strange to give her a good face!
The smile on Mrs. Lin's face froze. She didn't react to Mrs. Cheng's indifferent and mocking attitude for a while, and stood there with a bit of embarrassment, and the old Mrs. Xu's face turned pale.

And the inner room became quiet for a while, and the old ladies from various mansions who were still joking just now looked at Old Madam Lin with contempt. They are all people with daughters, who doesn't feel distressed, especially when everyone's eyes touch the dark red color that is almost the same color as today's birthday star, they can't hide a trace of disgust in their eyes.

"Yiyue met my grandmother. Today, my grandmother and Yiyue sisters came here to pay respects to my grandmother. May my grandmother be as happy as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan!" The old lady in the seat knelt down, and the clear and soft voice immediately filled the suddenly quiet room, which was extremely pleasant to hear!
And the grandmother who was still stern-faced just now, when she saw her own granddaughter, her gloomy face suddenly burst into a smile, and she winked at the girl beside her, who quickly helped Yiyue up and took her Standing in front of Mrs. Cheng, she took Lin Yiyue's hand and introduced to the old lady in the room, "This is the child of my daughter who left earlier, and now she has grown up. Yiyue, tell the elders quickly Please."

Hearing this, Lin Yiyue turned around immediately, lowered her head halfway, put her hands on her waist, bent her knees slightly, bowed to the old ladies who were sitting in the inner room and said softly: "Lin Yi, the daughter of Shangshufu Yue, I have met all the elders, and all the elders are polite."

Everyone saw the old lady recommending her personally, and many wives had met Lin Yiyue, so they praised Lin Yiyue in front of the old lady, and many people thought of Cheng Youruo, the young lady of the Cheng family, who was a famous lady in Beijing. Such a talented girl, what a fate.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Lin, who was left hanging aside, and her mood eased a little. She sternly ordered to the girl beside her, "What's the matter? The guests are still standing, why don't you hurry up and move a stool? It's really the old lady's fault that the old lady stood there for half a day."

Mrs. Lin originally thought she was going to get angry at herself again, but fortunately this time she was facing the girls, she still had a high profile before departure, she was furious, but she hurriedly laughed and said: "Today is my old sister's birthday, you are in danger Don't get angry! Ladies and gentlemen, don't you think so?"

Some old ladies who were friendly with her nodded secretly, while others didn't want to talk to this pretentious old lady, and each said their own words, but left her alone.

"Old madam, ma'am, please go to Lianxi courtyard from Miss Biao." At this time, my aunt's personal maid came in from outside, and she said respectfully with a smile.

Mrs. Cheng nodded to Lin Yiyue, and Lin Yiyue took a few younger sisters to greet everyone, and followed the girl to Lianxi courtyard.

The Lianxi Courtyard is the place where the Cheng Mansion entertains the female relatives from other courts. It occupies a large area and the courtyard is exquisitely beautiful. The lords and sons of the various mansions are arranged in the front yard, and they are personally received by Cheng Qinghong, who is the Marquis, and Cheng Ziyang, the eldest grandson. .

Lin Yiyue led people through the garden, and saw her aunt waiting for her as soon as she arrived at Lianxi Courtyard, Lin Yiyue hurried up, holding her aunt's arm and smilingly said: "Auntie."

Seeing Lin Yiyue, my aunt also smiled sincerely, patted Lin Yiyue's hand and said in a low voice with a smile on her face: "The things you asked aunt to prepare are already ready, why don't you go and see them first Look, if those women do something wrong, you can point it out."

Lin Yiyue smiled and nodded, then turned to the two concubines behind her and said calmly: "You can go to the garden to find people you know or enjoy, and I will have a chat with my aunt."

Qinglan Qingyu nodded, and went down to the Lianxi courtyard under the guidance of the girl from the Cheng family.
