Chapter 569 572:
It didn't take long before I saw a woman walking over and saluting: "Miss, the old lady is ready, please come over."
After hearing this, He Zhiyan's mouth twitched slightly: "Got it."
The mother-in-law took the words and left.
"Did you see?" He Zhiyan looked at Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao, and said speechlessly: "It's not good for the male guests to go into the backyard, so the female guests are now going to celebrate her birthday. I'm ready, come and give me presents."
"Pfft..." Lu Xiang couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter: "Then go."
Now that she's here, she's ready. Even if she hasn't dealt with Mrs. He in her previous life, she has heard about it. She is not a kind old lady. She has known He Zhiyan in this life and learned a little bit more about it.
However, most of the guests didn't think that Mrs. He was inappropriate. The old lady of the Hou's mansion should be airy. Their house is not as noble as the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. Being able to attend the old lady's birthday banquet is already worthy of them , so no matter when or how we meet, as long as the old lady is willing to see them, it is to give them face.
The old lady's yard is closer to the second room, and not far away is an arched door connecting the Hou's mansion and the second room. It is open during the day and locked at night, making it very convenient for people from the second room to enter and exit the Hou's mansion.
Mrs. He sat in the main seat, her back was straight, her chin was raised slightly, and she looked at everyone with a condescending appearance. As Mrs. He's direct daughter-in-law, Luo Shi sat next to Mrs. He.
The juniors kowtowed to him one by one to celebrate his birthday. According to the rules, the juniors of the Hou Mansion should come first, but Mrs. He did not follow this rule. The moment He Zhiyan got up, she immediately asked the juniors from the second room to come first.
Luo Shi glanced at Mrs. Marquis Wu'an triumphantly, and saw that the handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted, and there was suppressed anger in her eyes.
He Zhiyan is the daughter of their first wife, so this old woman doesn't show He Zhiyan face, isn't it just slapping her in the face?
After the juniors from the Second Household celebrated their birthday, it was He Zhiyan, He Zhimin and the two young concubines' turn.
Some people looked at these young ladies from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, and couldn't help feeling a tinge of sympathy in their hearts.
This huge Marquis Mansion has such a pitifully small population, even half of the second house is a daughter, and finally found his long-lost son, who will not be at home now, I heard that he has gone to join the army.
I don't know what Lord He Hou thinks, he is willing to let his only son go to the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, so he is not afraid of accidentally throwing his life on the battlefield.
In the end, it was the turn of the guests to present their respective congratulatory gifts to Mrs. He's birthday.
The old lady looked at the presents that everyone gave her, the wrinkled face that was visible to the naked eye gradually became indifferent from the smile on her face at the beginning, hmph, as expected, they were all small households, and the gifts they gave were not precious at all. How can she be worthy of her status as the old lady of the Hou Mansion.
Until Lu Xiang sent two pieces of material, the old lady's face stretched almost as long as a shoehorn.
Yun Lu stood behind Lu Xiang holding the tray, her eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled gently, "The color of these two golden brocades is specially selected by my family, and it can best bring out Mrs. He's temperament. I don't know. Madam He, do you like it?"
Brocade?
Mrs. He was startled suddenly, she stood up directly from her seat, walked closer and carefully looked at the material in Yun Lu's hands, her eyes showed surprise involuntarily: "This material is soft and light to the touch. Other ingredients are different."
This is an offering, not to mention its value, the most important thing is a status symbol.
Because weaving gold brocade is exclusively for the palace, it is not only something that can be bought with money, but it is rarely sold to the outside world every month, and it has been pre-booked early.
Scarcity is the most precious thing, so the nobles of the aristocratic families in the capital are very proud of being able to wear clothes made of gold brocade.
Mrs. He looked at Lu Xiang with bright eyes, and smiled from ear to ear: "I like it, I like it very much, Miss Lu San is really discerning, and the color of this material is very suitable for me. "
Everyone looked enviously and jealously at the materials that Mrs. He put away. Some people couldn't help but reach out to touch them, but Mrs. He gave them a stare.
What are you touching? What should I do if I break it?
Madam Wu Anhou looked at the two golden brocades and suddenly felt her heart was sour as if soaked in vinegar.
Lu Xiang was able to buy the brocade, and he generously gave it to the old lady.
This color looks good on her too.
"Did Lu Xiang give you some horses?" Mrs. Wu Anhou turned slightly sideways, and asked He Zhiyan in a low voice.
If there is, she will come over and make clothes for Min'er.
He Zhi shook his head expressionlessly: "No."
Mrs. Wu Anhou couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Didn't it mean that Lu Xiang and He Zhiyan are as close as sisters?Why didn't I see her send a few horses to He Zhiyan, so it seems that there may not be much sincerity in this friendship.
At the birthday banquet, Lu Xiang gave the old lady the golden brocade, is this showing his status to them?
The future Eighth Imperial Concubine, let alone bought it, I'm afraid the Furong Pavilion is in a hurry to give it away.
The wind is warm and the branches and leaves are swaggering.
The banquet was held in an attic at the junction of the backyard and the front yard. The male guests sat on the first floor, while the female relatives were on the second floor.
The windows on all four sides of the upper floor are open, looking at the scenery outside the window, eating something, it's a special taste.
Lu Xiang caught Madam He's eyes and was invited by Madam He to sit at the main table. People who didn't know thought this was her own granddaughter.
Luo Shi glared at the daughter next to her with hatred for iron and iron, this blind person, didn't she see that the old lady liked Lu Xiang so much, she was still indifferent, if she had a good relationship with Lu Xiang as soon as possible, maybe Zhijin Jin and the others also had a chance to get a few horses, instead of just watching Dafang benefit from it.
He Zhiyan and Lu Xiang have such a good relationship, so they must have gained a lot of benefits.
As the eldest daughter-in-law, she is naturally indispensable.
If Mrs. Marquis of Wu'an knew what Luo Shi was thinking, she would probably vomit blood with anger.
She got a fucking favor.
Lu Qiao looked at Mrs. He who was being flattered by others, and whispered in Lu Xiang's ear: "If Aunt Yunlu hadn't mentioned that the third sister you sent was a golden brocade, Mrs. He's expression would be like It's like you have a grudge against her, and you're too snobbish, to show your face in front of her face, and looking at you now is like watching a moving treasure, it's a shame to use such a good material as a birthday present."
Lu Xiang turned her head to look at Lu Qiao's face full of heartache, and smiled: "I don't even feel bad, why are you so angry."
"It's not worth it, just throw it into the river like a bank note, and you can't even see the splash." Lu Qiao said indignantly.
He Zhiyan chimed in and said: "Don't talk about Qiao'er, I feel heartbroken for you too. You should know that you are sending gold brocade, and I will stop you no matter what you say." This has nothing to do with whether the old lady is her real grandmother, even if It's her own grandmother. If she really had such a temper, she wouldn't like her either.
"Keep your voice down, Mrs. He heard it, and you will have a hard time." Lu Xiang said the last sentence to He Zhiyan.
He Zhiyan stuck out her tongue secretly, and quietly looked at Mrs. He, seeing that she was so excited that she had no time to pay attention to them.
