There are also some other official wives and ladies sitting in the room. Judging from their attitude and dress, I think the official position in the family will not be too high, and those with status will not come too early.
This is very similar to the previous social communication rules.
More and more guests came, and there were some subtle changes in the atmosphere. Shen Qing can feel that the relationship between these ladies is not as harmonious as it seems. It's just a fake conversation with a smile on her face.
The guests had almost arrived, and even Mo Huan, who was helping to entertain the guests in the front yard, came back.
Shen Qing didn't know much about the birthday process here, so she sat by and watched the change.
In fact, looking at these beautiful scenery, is also a kind of enjoyment, but their calculating eyes, and those eyes secretly intrigue, let people see very uncomfortable.
It's time to give a present. When the officials entered the government, they were handed over to the chief housekeeper in the front yard.
The gifts in the backyard are the wishes of all ladies. They are usually the things that women like, and they are very delicate. They are put on the table, and people will love them one by one.
When it's Shen Qing's turn, she's empty handed. Many ladies cast a look of disdain. Even the general looked at her in surprise.
Shen Qing takes a special look at Wang meixuan. Her eyes show sarcasm, and the corners of her mouth rise to an arc of beating. She looks like a good play.
Yunmei was also surprised. She clearly remembers that Shen Qing has prepared a gift for the old lady, but why is she empty handed now?
"Sister Qing, what's the present we prepared for my mother?" Zhao Yuqi is a little worried. This gift also has her share. She also wants to ask for credit in front of her mother, so that she won't say that she doesn't learn and is not like a girl every day.
Shen Qing smiles and gives Zhao Yuqi a reassuring look to let her not worry.
People present did not know why, but everyone knew that the girl who had the eyes of the old lady would never be empty handed. She might be selling something.
But Wang meixuan didn't care at all. Instead, she wanted Shen Qing to bring out the big cake, make her a murderer, and let her stay in the prison for the rest of her life!
Shen Qing went to the door and whispered a few words to the servant girl outside. Then two servant girls came in carrying a big gift box.
These two servant girls are Yuhong and Yulan who serve Shen Qing.
"Niang, this is the gift that sister Qing made for you. I'll help you too!" Before Shen Qing speaks, Zhao Yuqi can't wait to ask for credit.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao's eyes brightened, she received many gifts, but few of them could be made for her.
Bought from outside, nothing more than to spend some money, but this hand-made, but reflects the gift giver's sincerity.
What's more, my daughter's hard work. Although Mrs. Zhao doesn't expect Zhao Yuqi to be a cook in the kitchen in the future, this is what girls should do after all. It's better than running crazy every day, dancing guns and getting sticks.
"Open it, open it! Let me see! " Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait to know what was in the big box.
Looking at such a big and mysterious figure, the two children did it by themselves, which aroused the old lady's curiosity.
Zhao Yuqi asked the two servant girls to put the big gift box on the table, pulled over Shen Qing and asked Shen Qing to open the box.
After all, the owner of this gift is Shen Qing. Zhao Yuqi understands that she can't be too noisy.
Shen Qing walks to the box with a smile. Yu Guangzhong sees Wang meixuan with a proud face, while other ladies have different looks.
They were either curious or dismissive, but no matter what the expression was, it was more normal than Wang meixuan's proud face.
She didn't make the cake, nor did she give the gift. There was no credit for her. Her complacency at this time seemed strange, which made Shen Qing suspect that the poison was her.
Put down the suspicion, Shen Qing gently open the box. Because the cake has been refrigerated, the milk flavor is not as heavy as when it was just out of the pot, but it can still smell a touch of sweetness.
Fragrance is not the most important, because everyone's eyes have noticed that in the box. It's big, white, mixed with pink and red, like a work of art.
We don't know why, including Mrs. Zhao, she looks confused. This thing looks soft. Is it just an object in the room.
Wang meixuan was also surprised. She clearly remembers that what she saw yesterday was a piece of cake with light yellow color. How could it be that what she took out today was so different from what she saw yesterday.
Did they change their mind temporarily, instead of sending yesterday's cake, they changed it for a new one?
"Miss Qing, this is..." Asked Mrs. Zhao suspiciously.
Zhao Yuqi is also silly. It's not the thing they made yesterday.
It's broken! It's broken! Just now, I was just foolishly asking for credit. As a result, there was nothing wrong with me here!"Auntie, it's called birthday cake. You can eat it only on your birthday. It means that people living on your birthday are happy and sweet." In fact, Shen Qing doesn't know why she eats birthday cake on her birthday. Because this has already become a habit, but no one investigated.
But as soon as she finished, there was a sigh. Mrs. Zhao asked in surprise, "you said Is this food? "
How she looked, how she felt like an object in the room. Look at the big round peach on it. There are red words beside it, which say: happy birthday.
How can such a thing be eaten? And it's so beautiful and chic. If you eat it, you'll be reluctant.
"Happy birthday, aunt!" Shen Qing turned and saluted old lady Zhao respectfully.
"Good, good!" Not to mention that it is used to eat or to decorate, just because it is unique, never seen, let the old lady feel happy.
But many of the official ladies were dissatisfied. The gifts they gave were carefully selected. Although they were not valuable, they also cost a lot of money.
But after giving it to the old lady, the old lady just nodded to them with a smile, and then let the servant put it aside. She didn't appreciate her heart much, let alone open it in front of everyone.
This girl of unknown origin is just beautiful, but the thing she gave is really shabby compared with the one she gave. I really don't understand why the old lady likes that one.
