The Wang family has not been so lively for a long time. Today, the guests were divided into three groups. Wang Silang and his eldest son were greeting the male guests, Mrs. Cui was greeting the ladies from various families, and Wang Jinzhi, as the protagonist of the banquet, was responsible for

Welcome girls of your own age.

Although the family of four just stood together in the flower hall at the gate, when each family came up, they took the gift list and saluted each other.

As the eldest daughter of the direct lineage of the Wang family in Taiyuan, she naturally has a small social circle around her. Most of them are from the fifth surname and Qiwang, and at worst they are from the Guanlong noble family. Those ladies who have no family background are just young ladies whose fathers are officials in the court.

They can't squeeze into her circle.

However, whether you can squeeze in or not is one thing. Even if you can't squeeze in, there are still people who are fighting for a good relationship with women with the fifth surname.

"Secretary and Young Supervisor Cui Xun, together with his wife Yang and their daughter, congratulate my concubine on the happy birth of her hairpin. I wish my concubine always be safe and have better flowers every year."

Wang Silang crossed his hands and retorted: "Wang, please thank Mr. Cui on behalf of my little daughter." They bowed to each other.

During the interval of saluting, Cui Yue raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Jinzhi.

My cousin is well-dressed, with exquisite make-up. She wears a flying fairy bun on her hair that must be the first time in her life. Her hair is made of gold, dotted with emeralds and inlaid with rubies. She is very grand and luxurious, but she is so beautiful at the moment.

It was sweat, and there was a look of fatigue on his brows. He was a little shaky at the moment, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.

She winked at Wang Jinzhi playfully.

Wang Jinzhi read the concern in her eyes, cheered up, and responded with an apologetic smile.

After the long salute, Wang Silang made an invitation gesture to the back: "Please come in quickly."

Huan Qing on the side took the gift list from the Cui family's maid and ordered the little maid to welcome the person into the yard.

After they left, Wang Jinzhi raised her hand and gently hammered her sore shoulder: "I knew I wouldn't have worn my hair in such a high bun..."

In order to support the two high buns on her head, she actually wore a lot of jewelry and nearly two kilograms of wigs.

At this moment, she was wearing a golden necklace with long tassels around her neck, and her neck was almost broken!

Her brother Wang Hesong, who is the same mother as her, couldn't help but smile: "But my sister looks very good today."

Wang Jinzhi's beautiful eyes were angry: "Are you saying that I don't look good on weekdays?"

"Conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't say that!" Wang Hesong begged for mercy on the spot, "Sure enough, she is still our aunt with this temper."

Both Mrs. Cui and Wang Silang couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. There will be visitors later, let them see the joke."

"Are there a few people who haven't come yet?"

Huan Qing on the side held the guest list in one hand and a pen in the other. He drew a circle in front of the names of the people he would be congratulating. He said, "That's almost it. There are one or two more."

Another maid of Mrs. Cui invited the moon and said: "The eldest lady said yesterday that we would open one or two more tables in case there are people who we didn't invite but want to come to congratulate, so that they can have a place to sit. If we can't

Let’s drive them away after they put down their gifts, right?”

Mrs. Cui nodded: "Indeed, a family like ours should have such dignity."

Wang Jinzhi's expression suddenly changed.

The other dishes were fine, but the orange and radish dish was given according to quantity!

Qiao Yun had an issue with her very early on, and when she took her family to try the food, her mother also knew about it.

Wang Jinzhi looked at Mrs. Cui for help: "Mom, some of the most important dishes are prepared for 240 people!"

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Cui gave Wang Jinzhi a loving look and comforted her: "These people are here uninvited, so of course you don't have to worry about their taste. It doesn't matter if you add or remove one or two dishes."

That's what she said, but when she thought that these people would disrupt her careful arrangements, Wang Jinzhi felt like she was twisting her heart.

While they were talking here, Nayun, who was waiting outside, came to report again: "Madam, Sir, the wife of a military officer from Yanzhou who joined the army has come with a daughter."

"Who?" Mrs. Cui and Qiao Yun were both stunned.

Wang Silang reacted very quickly: "Oh, Wang is going to give his daughter-in-law a hard time!"

Wang Hesong has not yet been exposed to officialdom, so he is a little confused at this moment: "What is his family's background?"

"Wang Clan of Langya." Wang Silang spoke very quickly, "It is also after the decline of the great clan, not to mention that the visitor is a guest, please come in."

Everyone understands.

Not long after, a lady came forward holding a little lady about the same age as Wang Jinzhi.

"Shang, the wife of Wang Wanjin, who joined the army as a military official in Yanzhou, and her daughter congratulated Mrs. Wang on her birth."

Mrs. Cui stepped forward and offered a hand: "Please get up quickly."

She no longer salutes to Mr. Shang now. When a military officer joins the army, he is usually around the eighth rank, depending on the upper, middle and lower states, but if he is exhausted, he will still be from the seventh rank.

She is the direct wife of a fourth-rank official, and is also a county monarch personally conferred by the Holy Emperor. She has a royal decree, so there is no way she can salute to a white body without rank.

Under Mrs. Cui's seemingly warm and polite gaze, Mr. Shang smiled modestly and modestly.

The clothes she wears are still the same as those two or three years ago, and the jewelry on her head doesn't even make up a complete set.

The lady in front of me was different. She was dressed in silk and satin and was jeweled. Although she was five or six years older than me and had one more child than me, she still looked plump and attractive, and her skin was so delicate that she seemed to be the same age as me.

.

Such a tragic contrast, no matter how much Shang made mental preparations and told himself over and over again that he was just here to hug his thighs, his eyes were still stung.

The young lady next to her took one look at the handsome and upright Wang Hesong, and was so embarrassed that she never looked up.

This little lady is neatly dressed. She is also wearing a square-necked skirt, but her upper body is made of light pink embroidered with white floral flowers and rolled with blue edges. The blue skirt embroidered with blue and white butterflies is not tied at the chest.

Instead, it was tied around her waist, stretching out her waist as tender as a willow that could not be held.

The skirt is not long and just falls over the instep, revealing the tips of white embroidered shoes with peach blossoms embroidered on them.

Mrs. Cui looked at Mr. Shang and felt a little emotional for no reason.

The Wang family of Langya, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, were almost the two top families in the world along with the Xie family of Chenjun.

Now he is so depressed!

Mrs. Cui smiled and said politely: "Wang Shenjun should take office in Yanzhou, didn't you follow him?"

"Yanzhou is very close to Jingzhao Mansion, so my husband did not bring his family with him when he took office." Mrs. Shang saw the sympathy in Mrs. Cui's eyes and smiled in embarrassment.

Mrs. Cui nodded to express her understanding. She took another look at the young lady who was following her, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, she looks very neat! Madam, you are about the same age as her, please pay more attention to her later."

Wang Jinzhi blessed her body solemnly: "Yes."

She walked forward affectionately, took the girl's hand, and shouted kindly: "I was born under the sign of Ox at the beginning of the year. How about you?"

The girl lowered her head shyly, not daring to raise her eyelids: "I, I was born in June."

"Then you are my sister." Wang Jinzhi smiled sweetly and said with concern: "Relax today, don't be restrained, take whatever you want to eat, and just tell the maid if you want anything."

The girl nodded slowly.

Wang Jinzhi still wanted to ask her name, but now that her brother was present, it was difficult for her maiden name to be heard by her husband, so Wang Jinzhi gave up and planned to ask again at the table later.

I sent them to the back and waited for a while. Finally, all the guests arrived before noon.

There was a family that originally planned to come to eight people. In addition to the wife and male guests, there were also two legitimate daughters and four concubines. But for some reason, the day before the arrival, the four concubines fell into the water and got rashes on their faces.

They couldn't come because they had a rash, and in the end only four people came.

Although it was a bit too much of a coincidence, Wang Jinzhi also roughly knew that it was common for daughters in small families to scheme and scheme in order to get ahead, so she didn't care too much about it.

Wang Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief and could finally go to the backyard to play with her sisters!

The place where she entertained the girls was in the garden, so the two of them had to leave before they arrived. Before leaving, Mrs. Cui took Wang Jinzhi's hand and told her: "Your brother is seventeen this year. Take a look.

Which girl do you think is better? Remember to tell me."

Wang Jinzhi blushed, glanced at her brother, and said repeatedly: "I don't! Look at him, he calls me "Meng Hulu" all day long, so he knows that if he comes to trouble me when I am embroidering a flower, my

How can a sister be bullied by him!"

Wang Hesong pretended to be disdainful and snorted: "I'm not worried about you suffocating yourself! Anyway, I won't care about you from now on. Auntie, your son and I are very talented. If I go out for a walk, I will be thrown into the car by the little ladies.

, please don’t worry about it.”

"Look, look, how can anyone who praises himself for his talents have a thicker skin than the city walls of Yingtianmen! Be careful of being hit all over your head with fruit." Wang Jinzhi stamped her feet repeatedly.

Mrs. Cui and Wang Silang were so amused by these two that they couldn't help laughing. They quickly persuaded them: "Okay, okay, let's not mention it for now. Azhi, go quickly, be careful, your little sisters are waiting impatiently."

"

Only then did Wang Jinzhi give up.
