As soon as Mrs. Wen's daughter Qin Wen said these words, several of the guests were ready to move.
These people are the fiancées of several men from the Wen family, and they all carefully prepared birthday gifts.
Thinking of the gift she had prepared, Mu Qingling couldn't wait to give it to the public, and stepped on Ruan Xi's face. Like Mu Qingling thought, they also wanted to show their faces in front of the guests, but unfortunately they couldn't find the opportunity. I hope that Qin Wen's will be a little bit stronger.
Qin Wen obviously noticed several hotly anticipated gazes from the female relatives. With a turn of his thoughts, he immediately understood what they meant, and the corners of her mouth hooked. Since they all wanted to show the limelight, she would act as the wind to help them.
"Mother, looking at my age, this mouth still offends people as soon as I speak. How can I say that I only look at the gift of Tingzhou’s fiancee. This is too partial. It’s better to see what presents several junior fiancees have prepared for you. ?"
As soon as Qin Wen's words came out, Anguo's face instantly turned black.
This sister is still so bad.
Today is the mother's birthday, so she can't stop having a little moth.
Old Mrs. Wen was also filled with depression. This daughter has never grown up since she was a child, no matter how strict her teaching is, she is still adding to her birthday banquet.
Ruan Xi was speechless to this bad-hearted aunt of Wen Tingzhou, saying that she couldn't be called the best, just the kind that could not hold back words.
Therefore, the husband of Qin Wen's married is a veteran military commander carefully selected by the Wen family, who can tolerate Qin Wen's temperament. Otherwise, he still hasn't grown at his age as usual.
Wen Tingzhou told her about the deeds of the Qin Wen family. Seeing the strange appearances of the surrounding guests, and then seeing Qin Wen's husband, General Qin, nodded in agreement.
"Mother-in-law, I think A Lan is right. When A Lan has her birthday, I will ask several grandchildren’s fiancees to present gifts in public to make A Lan happy." General Qin’s voice was very loud, but what he said Make the corners of the mouth twitch.
Ruan Xi: "..."
She suddenly felt a little sympathy for Mrs. Wen, this couple is a perfect match.
Originally the daughter of Qin Wen's was bad enough, but now he has a bad son-in-law.
What's cheating is that the generals in the male guest on the left agree very much.
"Old lady, I think Lao Qin is right. Instead of asking them to give gifts after the birthday banquet, it is better to send them in public. Let us also open our eyes. Anyway, we will enter your Wen's house."
"Yes, yes."
"..."
Qin Wen was even more happy to receive the support of her husband and the elite generals.
"Mother, they all think my proposal is good!"
Royal family members: "..."
I really don't want to admit that Qin Wen has royal blood.
Mu Qingling and the other ladies were obviously a little excited, and secretly felt that Qin Wen's was really awesome.
The Zhang family calmed Ruan Xi in a low voice.
"Si Niang, don't worry, it doesn't matter if the gift is not precious, it will be done when you feel you like it, Mrs. Wen won't mind."
She knew that Siniang had prepared the gift. Although she didn't know what it was, the Zhang family was assured that it was checked by Mama Lin. Not to mention that she had known the sincerity of Ruan Xi's gift and was not worried at all.
"What my mother said."
"Well, you just have to know it."
"Mother don't worry, I won't lose the face of Bo Fu." Not to mention the face of Big Brother Tingzhou.
Ruan Sanniang listened to her mother comforting the fourth sister, glanced at the calm and calm fourth sister, and felt uncomfortable. In fact, this happened in the previous life, but at that time, although she was a bit famous, her family background was not enough and she was not qualified to attend Mrs. Wen. She didn't know the details of the birthday banquet, but the bad things Qin Wen made at the old lady's birthday banquet spread out, and she knew it all.
She has been waiting for this scene, and as expected, the Qin Wen clan has become a demon.
Ruan Sanniang waited to see the jokes of the fourth sister.
I wonder if the fourth sister’s gift will be bottomed out?
Ruan Sanniang's brain made up for the embarrassment of the fourth sister in front of the guests, and her whole body trembled in excitement.
Ruan Xi smiled after responding to Zhang's false sentiment, keenly aware of Ruan Sanniang’s emotional changes, glanced at her sideways, and caught the gloat and pride in her eyes. Ruan Xi was dumb, and it seemed that Ruan Sanniang really wanted to see her. Foolish.
She glanced in Wen Tingzhou's direction, looked at Shang Wen Tingzhou's worried look, gave him a soothing smile, and said two words silently.
rest assured.
Wen Tingzhou saw that Ruan Ruan was still calm and composed, and then looked at the expressions of Uncle Sincerity and his wife, and felt a little at ease.
Mrs. Wen hadn't spoken yet, but Anguo couldn't help it.
"Sister, don't mess around."
Qin Wen immediately became unhappy: "Why am I messing around, don't I want my mother to be happy on this happy day, and everyone agrees with my proposal."
Anguo was pissed off by his bad sister.
What makes my mother happy, she is already happy if she doesn't add trouble to her mother.
If it weren't for worrying that today is his mother's birthday, he would like to scold the eldest sister who is not looking and making trouble.
The people who were forced to divide everyone did not say anything or refute. In fact, they also wanted to watch the good show of Wen's family. Those ministers who had daughters or granddaughters married to Wen's family secretly hoped that their daughters would show their faces and press down on Master Wen Fiancee.
Mrs. Wen finally spoke up at this time.
"Since everyone agrees to A Lan's proposal, I will set this precedent."
The guests below immediately refreshed, and they didn't care if Mrs. Wen took them in. The Anguo became even more upset when he saw this.
Mu Qingling and others immediately became excited.
The first one to play was the fiancée of Anguo, the second son of Dingbeihou.
Her gift was a picture of Songhe Yannian painted by herself, which attracted everyone's amazement.
Mrs. Wen smiled and praised: "Good painting!"
Mrs. Dingbeihou smiled.
The second person to play is the fiancée of Anguo's second son-Jian'anhou's concubine.
What she gave was a precious large-scale calligraphy and painting fairy peach birthday greetings.
Mrs. Wen just nodded with a smile.
The third person to play was the fiancée of the third son of Anguo, the concubine of the Ministry of Industry.
She gave a small screen embroidered with the word "Shou" by herself. The embroidery work is very good.
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "That's right."
The fourth place is Ruan Xi, whom everyone is looking forward to. Her identity and family background is the lowest.
Everyone took a look at Wen Tingzhou. Wen Tingzhou's handsome face still had a gentle smile, as if he was confident of his fiancee, but the big hands clenched under his sleeves revealed his true feelings.
Ruan Xi moved forward with the gift box in his hands, with a generous demeanor, a calm look, a straight waist, a strong aura, and a perfect etiquette posture, so he couldn't fault it.
Everyone nodded slightly.
A smile appeared in Mrs. Wen's eyes.
Mu Qingling, who was lined up behind Ruan Xi to wish her birthday, bit her lip, a flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Ruan Sanniang, who was waiting to see Ruan Xi's jokes, widened her eyes in shock and almost knocked over the tea cup in her hand.
She has always known that the fourth sister and Lin's teachings have changed greatly, but she did not expect that the fourth sister is so dazzling that only her own aura can cover up the light of the three ladies in front.
Wen Tingzhou glanced at such a dazzling Ruan Ruan, his eyes were shining, and a touch of pride flashed in his eyes unconsciously.
Mrs. Wen smiled slightly.
The noble girl who was overwhelmed by Ruan Xi's little concubine's aura is not so good. She can only pin her birthday gift to the shabby table. After all, it is just a gift box, what a good gift can be.
Ruan Xi didn't know the thoughts of those noble ladies, so she walked under the old lady Wen and bowed down.
"Sincerely, Ruan Xi wishes the old lady a long life and good health."
After speaking, Ruan Xi offered the gift box with both hands, and did not directly declare what the gift was like the three ladies before and showed it for everyone to watch.
"Hey, it's actually a set of Huayan Sutras copied by hand. Girl Ruan is interested."
In fact, Mrs. Wen had already learned from Mother Lin that Ruan Xi burned incense to pray for her to copy the scriptures as a congratulatory gift. She was quite satisfied in her heart, and she loved the house and Wu, of course she did not hesitate to praise it.
As soon as Mrs. Wen's words came out, Wen Tingzhou's heart relaxed, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
Ruan Ruan, a bad girl, made him worry for nothing.
It is not surprising to everyone that Mrs. Wen will express her opinion in public. Mrs. Wen likes to study Hua Yan Jing's news that no one knows.
Copying the scriptures for the elders, Miss Ruan Si's birthday gift is quite well-formed and not brilliant, but it is safe and sincere, so that people can not make mistakes, and it is in line with Miss Ruan Si's status.
This Miss Ruan Si is not simple.
All the guests present took a look at Ruan Xigao.
It's just that the fiancées of the noble women who are Wen's men are in a bad mood, and the smiles on their faces are slightly stiff and secretly annoyed. Why didn't they think of giving such a birthday gift.
Maybe it’s because the scriptures are too common and common. They didn’t even think about it. They just wanted to show off their talents and show their best side, but they seemed selfish in front of Ruan Xi’s unremarkable hand-copied Hua Yan Sutra. Some are heavy, lack of sincerity, and abruptly fall behind.
Li Jingcheng curled his lips in the distance, and he knew that Zi Run and Miss Ruan Si were born together, and they were both cunning and hating.
The man took the top spot in the gift, and his sincerity was impeccable. Although the gift of the woman was not precious, the sincerity and love compared all the ladies.
Ruan Sanniang was not stupid. She quickly understood that the gift of the Fourth Sister was sent to Mrs. Wen's heart. She was so angry that her chest hurts. She wanted to see the jokes of the Fourth Sister, but she didn't see it, and she was suffocated.
Simei is really her nemesis.
Mu Qingci's eyes gleamed, and Miss Ruan Si was really amazing, and she showed her intelligence to the fullest.
After Ruan Xi stepped down respectfully, Mu Qingling behind her cursed Ruan Xi who had robbed the limelight for half to death. Xu was too overwhelmed. Regardless of etiquette and manners, his behavior was inevitably worse. Can't help frowning.
Mu Qingling's gift was a lucky painting she painted as intended. The painter is comparable to the young daughter of Dingbei Hou, obviously she has a certain talent in painting.
Mrs. Wen nodded with a smile.
Seeing that Mrs. Wen just smiled and nodded without compliment, Mu Qingling obviously knew that her performance was out of standard, and she hated Ruan Xi even more, especially the disgusting eyes of her fiancé Wen Tingyi made Mu Qingling, who was a normal day. The concubine who was most beloved by the servant Mu lost her mind and couldn't hold back her words before she retreated.
"Old lady, I heard that Ms. Ruan Si's rearing mother is your confidant, Mama Lin, and Ms. Lin taught Ms. Ruan Si, and the gift she gave is the best for you."
It was almost impossible to point out that the gift from Ruan Xi was instructed by Lin's mother.
With such a slander, Ruan Xi's sincerity of the gift changed, and it seemed a bit utilitarian.
The smile on Mrs. Wen's face narrowed, and Wen Tingzhou's smile added a bit of coldness.
This Mu family tutor was really eye-opening for him.
Shilang Mu and Madam Mu's faces turned black for an instant, and they wanted to sew Mu Qingling's mouth with a needle.
What a shame.
Ruan Sanniang's spirits lifted up, and Mu Qingling was so powerful that she spoke her heart.
She gloated at the fourth sister and deliberately asked in a low voice.
"Sister Si, did you copy the scriptures for Mrs. Wen suggested by Mother Lin?"
The female relatives who were very close to them raised their ears.
Zhang gave the unconscious counterfeit a fierce look.
"Sanniang said carefully, your fourth sister is sincerely praying for Mrs. Wen to copy the scriptures."
"Three sisters, shouldn't you follow your own heart to prepare gifts for the elders' birthday, why should you listen to other people's suggestions?"
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Sanniang in surprise.
Zhang's heart was relieved, and he smiled and said, "Si Niang is right, San Niang, you must remember that in the future, giving gifts to elders is important, not whether the gifts are expensive."
Ruan Sanniang was unfavorable again, and was caught by her mother for training. His face was even more ugly.
The female family members who overheard all nodded in agreement.
Mu Qingling's words are too purposeful, and everyone can hear the maliciousness in her words. Of course, the other noble ladies who have been beaten down also know well, but they all secretly praise Mu Qingling for doing well. , Ready to quietly watch the show.
But before Wen Tingzhou stepped forward to protect his wife, Qin Wen made another appearance, and she unceremoniously fell on Mu Qingling.
"Mu Mansion is really a good tutor. I taught you such a narrow-minded and jealous girl. It is well known that my mother likes to study the Huayan Scriptures. Isn’t it normal to pray for my mother and copy the scriptures? It proves that people take mother’s preferences at heart. Last, you sincerely pray for your mother’s birthday. You only want to show your best talents at your mother’s birthday banquet, but you are so dirty that you will treat your fiancée like you."
Qin Wen said with a crackle, and revealed Mu Qingling's dirty thoughts, making Mu Qingling gray and pale.
A person whose tutor is worrying and another whose tutor seems to be worrying is not good, and people can't help but laugh.
But I have to admit that Qin Wen's words are very reasonable.
For the first time, Mrs. Wen felt that this messy daughter was very pleasing to the eye.
Wen Tingzhou also thinks this aunt is actually pretty good.
"Alan said it is good, some people think badly about people with their own minds, and don't look at what they are." General Qin grinned out to support his wife.
Mu Qingling's face is really discouraged now.
It happened that the person who was against her was an elder, and she could only swallow the blood loss, otherwise her reputation would be even worse.
Shilang Mu's face was green, even if he liked this daughter again, he still couldn't like it now.
Ruan Xi couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect Qin Wen to sneak her out first and then help her out.
She glanced at Wen Tingzhou's expression and found that he was just like herself, and couldn't help but smile silently.
This small storm just passed.
When Mrs. Wen finished eating the longevity noodles in public, the birthday banquet was officially opened, with good wine and delicacies, and the whole banquet continued to give speeches and beaming with joy.
Ruan Xi noticed that there were girls or Wen's family members who looked at her from time to time and paid attention to her dining etiquette.
Ruan Xi was quite stable, with standard and elegant dining and toasting etiquette, but he was very helpless.
Fortunately, she knew that she was not alone in enjoying this treatment.
After the birthday banquet was over, the juniors went out and chatted, but they did not leave as the guests of the elders.
Several adult princes took the opportunity to make friends with ministers, but the four princes did not participate.
After the banquet, Ruan Sanniang kept paying attention to the movements of the four princes. Seeing that the four princes had left, she hurriedly followed.
Ruan Xi: "..."
Ruan Sanniang hasn't given up his heart yet. I hope that the four princes will not be as unlucky as last time. I think the first time the male and female master met because of Ruan Sanniang's kick last time.
She still remembers the funny scene of the Fourth Prince being slapped in the face by the heroine's bun.
Ruan Xi left Ruan Sanniang behind, and met Wen Tingzhou's gaze not far away. Wen Tingzhou smiled slightly, leaving behind Li Jingcheng and a few people around him, strode to Ruan Xi under their playful eyes, and said warmly.
"Ruan Ruan, grandmother is tired, let's go for a walk first, and we will take you to see grandmother later."
Ruan Xi smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Mrs. Wen looked at the back of the two leaving side by side and smiled speechlessly.
Wen Tingzhou wanted to be alone with Ruan Xi, so instead of going to the garden or pavilion in the mansion, he led Ruan Xi to a quiet place.
Who knows that there are people in this place, or the familiar trio that Huayan met in the grove last time.
Ruan Xi: "..."
What kind of fate is this.
