On the day of the old lady's birthday party, the servants in the mansion got busy early. Since the right time, carriages with luxurious or exquisite decorations came one after another. After a brief stop in front of the west corner gate, maids in bright clothes came forward. After sending the invitation, the maids and daughters-in-law of the Lin family introduced them with a smile. [] From time to time, groups of young men from aristocratic families came on horseback, all dressed in rich clothes and smiling, following the young men who led the way from the east. Enter through the corner door.

For a time, the front of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion was bustling with people, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses. The pretty maids and girls in silk and satin were respectful and polite, welcoming all the distinguished guests.

When Yun Xia and others arrived, it was already late. She secretly opened the curtain and took a look at the crowds of people parked in front of the door. She saw countless gorgeous carriages at a glance. Runxin gritted her teeth. If she hadn't had too few maids, she would have gotten up early. Why did it take so long to get dressed up? I could have arrived earlier to show my sincerity.

As soon as the simple green cloth sedan entered the door, it was carried by the servants of the Lin family. After walking around for a long time, it stopped in front of a hanging flower door. She straightened her new clothes and calmed down her emotions. , then she lifted the curtain and got off the sedan, and saw four tall servant women wearing pine-colored armor carrying a small soft sedan with green curtains waiting. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. This was not the first time she had entered Ningyuan Marquis. The backyard of the house was already there, but in the past, Yumei had taken her directly from the school to her Baoxiang Pavilion. She had never seen such a big battle before. Because she was afraid of making a fool of herself, she hesitated for a while. Fortunately, she came again later. A small and exquisite carriage arrived, and a bejeweled and beautiful aristocratic girl got out of it. She took a critical look at the small sedan carried by four other servants, and sat on it reluctantly, looking at the station with gleaming eyes. Runxin, who was motionless and seemed unwilling to get on the sedan, turned around and said coquettishly to a nanny beside him: "Look, I'm not the only one who dislikes this sedan... How can I be so coquettish..."

The sedan gradually went away, but the girl's crisp voice lingered in her ears, and her uncle kept talking. Runxin silently imitated the girl's posture and behavior and got on the sedan. She felt that most of the hesitation and ambition she had when she entered the door had disappeared, and her heart surged. Slightly confused.

…

The old lady's birthday was very popular this time. Not only did she invite a wide range of guests, they were all rich and noble. I heard that even the fourth prince came to celebrate her birthday in person. Concubine An in the palace also gave her many birthday gifts early and wrote a handwritten letter of congratulations. May Mrs. Shi live a long and healthy life.

It is a great honor to have the prince come to celebrate his birthday in person. Although by blood, it is the grandson who wishes birthday to his grandmother, but who dares to accept the prince's birthday? More importantly, the emperor has not objected, but the old lady of the Jiang family, the mother of the fifth prince Not long ago, the fifth prince came to celebrate his birthday. Does this mean that the fourth prince's biological mother, Concubine An, is becoming more and more holy? Will it have any impact on the throne? The waiting family heads have pulled out a few strands of their beards and they can't guess who the emperor is. This meant that officials from the Fourth Prince's faction came to visit in person, and those who were not part of the Fourth Prince's faction also sent their eldest sons to go there, without any hesitation.

The four sisters of the Lin family have all reached the age where they can socialize. This time they are responsible for receiving the young ladies who came with their mothers to celebrate their birthdays. As the mistress of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Fan is already very busy and only sent a personal mother to come. After asking for help, he hurriedly went to greet the ladies and ladies who were bound by official duties. After all, that was the main event.

The reception place was chosen to be Zhenxia Residence near the garden. The noble ladies from the aristocratic families would be led here to have tea and rest after they had presented themselves to Mr. Shi. When Runxin followed the maid in, she saw the golden and green radiance in the side room.

The embroidery is dazzling, either a dignified and elegant noble daughter, or a dignified and noble lady from aristocratic family, each with only one personal maid by her side, drinking tea and talking in the style of everyone. Runxin only felt that her new and bright clothes even

Not as good as those maids, she froze for a moment, then walked to Yuzhu and sat down cautiously. Today Yumei said she was sick and did not come. The only person she knew here who was willing to talk to her was Yuzhu.

Now that we have just arrived, it is a refreshing and comfortable time. The door of the wing room is not closed. Only a large glazed screen with hundreds of butterflies and flowers has been erected outside. The wind blows in from the door and the window screens without any difficulty, and is carried by it.

With the fragrance of roses and some indescribable sweetness, it is refreshing. Through the thin smoke-like window screen, you can clearly see the pansies, petunias, marigolds, and dianthus blooming in the garden.

, peony, etc., and the faint sound of silk and bamboo came from nowhere, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"The garden is really well taken care of. I got up early today and am still a little sleepy. It would be so nice to put a soft couch under the tree in the garden and slowly fall asleep with the wind blowing." He said.

After that, he closed his eyes and looked intoxicated.

The speaker Yu Zhu was deeply impressed. It was Li Ruiyu, the legitimate daughter of the Li Yushi family who had a good relationship with Princess Qing at the Zhixin Conference.

The noble ladies knew that this was a lively atmosphere, so they also started laughing and joking. On Yu Zhu's face, there was one part pride of being praised for her home, one part dignity and elegance of everyone's legitimate daughter, and four parts.

Although they are naturally childish, they have to admire in their hearts that these young ladies are really good at acting and cooperating well. The atmosphere now is really friendly and affectionate. Who would have thought that many of them can't even talk to each other?

He didn’t say the previous sentence.

Yumei didn't come, so the remaining three sisters of the Lin family naturally respected Yuzhu, and since everyone didn't know the truth, they only thought that Yuzhu was very skilled. He had just returned to Beijing and knocked down the most threatening sister, which was a bit more.

He was very scrupulous and did not dare to bully her when she was young, but he was happy for a while.

Runxin obviously didn't want to give up this great opportunity and frequently raised topics, but she didn't know that in a place like this, beauty and talent were dispensable. What really depended on was family background, direct concubine, and the official title of the elders.

How could she, a Yuanzhi from Ningyuan Houfu, be qualified to get answers from those proud girls? Finally, when she complimented a girl in gorgeous clothes for her beautiful eyes for the fourth time and still received no response, she finally realized that these people

Unlike Yumei, she talked about the varieties of crabapples cultivated as bonsai in the house, etc. The girl's clear and melodious voice did a good job of dispelling the silence in the room, and everyone followed her.

Yu Zhu couldn't bear to see Runxin being treated like a storyteller. After thinking about it, he interrupted her: "Sister Runxin, let's have a sip of tea."

Runxin was talking until her mouth went dry. After hearing these words, she stopped talking. Suddenly, the room was silent. Runxin looked up quickly and saw people drinking tea and eating snacks. They only occasionally flirted with each other.

There was a hint of mocking smile.

Runxin finally realized what stupid thing she had done.

"Ah, why did you stop? Let's continue talking. What were you talking about just now, pink halo palace powder, right? This is the first time I've heard that pink halo palace powder is a variety of Begonia. I've learned a lot."

"Yes, it's obviously plum blossom. Could it be that I remembered it wrong." The petite girl was wearing a floral green gauze dewy lily skirt. She looked like a beautiful woman with a crescent moon, and she looked like she was gliding over the moon. She was wrinkled and fair.

The little face thought for a while and then said: "But I remember that my master didn't say that."

Everyone knew that Mr. Tian Ge's favorite granddaughter was a student of the famous Mei family. At first, everyone was just laughing inwardly, but now it became more interesting to hear the two of her singing and harmonizing, and they all covered their faces with veils.

Smiling.

At a glance, Runxin saw the mocking Yunxia Yunni among the crowd, and she felt a wave of sadness and anger welling up in her heart. She saw the clothes embroidered with gold and silver thread on the clothes of those who laughed at her, and their heads glittering with pearls, gold and silver.

With the exquisite and complicated jewelry on her hands, and the thought of all the hard work and frugality she had put in to make herself more respectable, and the thought that she had a father but could not recognize him, her head got hot, and she ran out with her skirt in hand.

Yuzhu felt that there was something wrong in that look, and quickly ordered someone to chase her. This was the old lady's birthday party, and if something went wrong, Runxin's life might not be saved.

Looking at the clear Yu Lan and the timid Yu Ju who kept his head lowered, Yu Zhu sighed and had to step forward to greet her. The smile on his face was still calm, but there was a hint of haze in his heart, and there was a faint feeling.

An ominous premonition.
