Chapter 397 The Li family keeps a low profile and makes a high-profile appearance!

The Liu family has always kept a low profile, but this time when his son became an official, Mr. Liu rarely wanted to be high-profile.

So, many relatives and friends were invited to the banquet today. Not only were there many male guests in the front yard, but there were also many female guests in the backyard.

Especially Liu Zhiheng’s two sons were at home, so many people also brought their children of similar age.

For a time, the Liu family’s front yard and back yard were really busy.

Mrs. Liu was sitting in the flower hall, greeting the matrons of various families who were familiar with her, as well as the aunts, uncles and sisters-in-law of the same clan.

Everyone talked about their clothes, jewelry, and the weather, which seemed to be a harmonious relationship.

A woman saw that Mrs. Liu was always looking outside, as if she was waiting for someone, so she smiled and asked, "Are there any distinguished guests coming?"

Mrs. Liu didn’t want to take it seriously and nodded and replied: “Yes, I really invited a few distinguished guests today.”

When everyone was curious and wanted to ask more questions, a little girl ran in and reported, "Madam, Mrs. Li and the others are here!"

Mrs. Liu stood up quickly and went out to greet everyone before she had time to say hello.

Everyone was curious, so they got up and walked to the door to take a look.

At this moment, a group of people walked in outside the hanging flower door.

Mrs. Liu's nanny, Aunt Tang, is supporting an old woman about fifty years old, wearing a dark blue cloud-peacock pattern coat. She has a handsome figure, slightly gray hair, neatly combed, and a jade hairpin with the word "longevity" inserted. , which made her eyebrows bright and kind.

She is holding a four or five-year-old **** her right hand, wearing a silver-red slanted shirt, a plain white pleated silk skirt, some soft little hair tied with two small buds, wrapped with a red ribbon inlaid with pearls, a pair of The Ertongcao golden borer landed on the flower buds, vividly appearing.

Looking at her chest again, she was wearing a seven-treasure necklace.

At this moment, it was dazzled by the sun, and the jewels were particularly eye-catching.

But the most attractive thing is the girl's appearance. Her skin is as white as milk, her eyebrows are light, her eyes are as big as black grapes, her long eyelashes are flickering, her small nose is upturned, and her lips are red.

Xu Shi was very happy to see Mrs. Liu. Her big eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled, so happy and cute!

Following the old man and the young man were two women of about the same age. One was wearing a lotus green shirt, elegant and noble, and the other was wearing purple, smart and generous.

Everyone became more and more curious as they watched. They all guessed when this noble person was acquainted by the Liu family. How come they had never seen him before?

Could it be a semi-reclusive family in Kyoto?

At this time, Mrs. Liu had already stepped forward and shouted affectionately: "Auntie, why are you here? If you don't come, I will send someone to rush you!"

As she spoke, she bent down to pick up Jiayin and said, "We Fu Niu'er are here. Your two brothers were urging the kitchen to make your favorite snacks last night!"

Jiayin hugged Mrs. Liu's neck, kissed her, and said coquettishly: "Thank you, Auntie. Fu Niu'er also brought delicious fruits to Auntie and my brothers!"

Needless to say, these are the Li family and Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Li smiled and explained: "When I was about to go out, this girl made a fuss about bringing gifts to Zhiheng, including flowers, plants, and fruits. She was busy for a long time, and then she came out late!"

Mrs. Liu turned around and saw that several of her stewards had indeed carried two baskets. Dongmei also carefully carried a three-foot-tall straw basket.

She didn't take it seriously, thinking that the Li family just brought fruits picked from the mountain, so she smiled and said: "Our Fu Niu'er is the most considerate, knowing that Auntie is short of fruits for the banquet today? Come on, go into the house, Auntie will give you some You get some snacks.”

Everyone arrived at the flower hall chatting and laughing. Mrs. Liu personally helped Mrs. Li to sit down. Tao Hongying and Mrs. Cui stood beside the old lady. On the contrary, Good News was placed in another empty seat. Everyone looked more and more surprised, but Mrs. Liu did not let them guess for too long, and introduced with a smile: "This is Mrs. Li from Zhongshan Bofu, and she is also the first-grade imperial concubine of the emperor.

“Speaking of which, my husband’s promotion to the fourth rank today is all thanks to the blessing of the uncle’s house. Without the uncle’s search for corn and potato seeds in the south, how could our husband be as glorious as he is today?!”

After saying that, she held Jiayin's little hand again and said, "This is the adopted daughter of Marquis Xinting, and she is also the princess of Kangle whom the emperor personally conferred."

Everyone was shocked, and then they realized that this old man and young man were actually members of the Li family!

The three words "Li family" are now well-known both inside and outside Kyoto.

Of course some people praise it, some people are curious about it, and some people ridicule it. There are mixed reviews.

Because this family was born as refugees and fled here, they provided too many topics for the new capital.

Whether it is the various protections of Xintinghou, the near-death return of the Li family boss, or the donation of jade melons and golden fruits, or the reward for donating food, all these pieces together are enough to make people talk about three days and three days. It's night!

It just so happens that the Li family is very low-key, old and young. Even if they receive awards and become one of the nouveau riche, they never show up anywhere.

But today, the family members of the Li family actually came to the Liu family’s banquet, which shows how close the Liu family and the Li family get along...

No matter what everyone thought, they all quickly stood up and saluted at this time.

Because, none of them is as high-ranking as Mrs. Li, let alone the princess of the Li family's little girl!

Old Mrs. Li smiled and raised her hand to help everyone, "You are welcome, I came here today just to congratulate Zhiheng. I didn't expect to be late and disturbed everyone. I hope you can forgive me."

How could anyone dare to accept this apology? Someone quickly laughed and echoed: "The old lady is not late, we have just arrived."

A woman spoke humorously, "Yes, it's because it's so busy today. Most of the streets outside the door are blocked, so it's not easy to get in."

Everyone laughed and saluted the little princess Jiayin. Jiayin did not show any airs, jumped down to the ground and returned the salute in a decent manner, smiling sweetly and joyfully.

How can a woman not like children, let alone such a cute and lovable little chubby girl, so they all praised her.

"The princess is so fair and clean. Do you take any supplements on weekdays?"

Before Mrs. Li could respond, someone in the corner sneered, but when everyone looked, they couldn't find who it was, so they just thought they heard it wrong.

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "My girl is naturally fair, but she is also afraid of being exposed to the sun. One day in the sun will make her look like black coal, but she will recover quickly if she is bored at home for two days. "

After saying that, she turned her head and motioned for Tao Hongying to come forward, "I really don't know what I feed this child on weekdays, because my wife-in-law takes care of it with her own hands."

Mrs. Liu took the opportunity to introduce Tao Hongying to everyone, "This is the princess's mother, the fourth lady of the uncle's house."

Then, she personally took Mrs. Cui a few steps forward, "This is Jinrou, the only daughter of Cui Zhengqing's bachelor. She was originally married to Kyoto, but now she has returned to Jiangnan with the move of the capital.

“Everyone knows that my husband has no sisters, but our husband and Cui Daxue are sworn brothers and treat Jinrou as his own daughter. I will also have a sister-in-law in the future!

"My sister is introverted and not good at words. If you see her elsewhere, please help me take care of her more."

Of course, everyone quickly responded, with smiles on their faces, but their minds were in a mess.
