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. 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 hooked the corners of her mouth. Since they all wanted to show the limelight, she would act as a 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 is better to see what gifts the fiancees of the younger generation 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 trouble with moths.
Old Mrs. Wen was also agitated for a while. This daughter has never grown up since she was a child, no matter how rigorous her teaching is, she is still adding to her birthday banquet.
Ruan Xi was speechless to this bad-hearted aunt of Wen Tingzhou. She could not be said to be the best, just the kind that could not hold back words.
Therefore, the husband of Qin Wen's married is an old and rude military commander carefully selected by the Wen family, who can tolerate Qin Wen's temperament. Otherwise, he still hasn't grown at this age as usual.
Wen Tingzhou told her about the deeds of the Qin Wen clan. Seeing the strange appearances of the surrounding guests, and seeing Qin Wen clan'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 a gift in public to make A Lan happy." General Qin’s voice was very loud, but what he said made The corners of the mouth twitched.
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 is 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 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, pretending to be.
"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."
"Don't worry, mother, I won't lose the face of Bo Fu." And I won't lose the face of Big Brother Tingzhou.
Ruan Sanniang listened to her mother comforting the fourth sister, and glanced at the calm and calm fourth sister. She 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 Old Man Wen. People's birthday banquet, I don't know the details, but Qin Wen's bad news 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 is a monster.
Ruan Sanniang waited to see the jokes of the fourth sister.
I wonder if the gift from the fourth sister will be the bottom?
Ruan Sanniang's brain made up for the shame of the fourth sister in front of the guests, and her whole body trembled in excitement.
Ruan Xi smiled to deal with Zhang's false feelings, 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. It seems that Ruan Sanniang really wants to see her ugly. .
She glanced in Wen Tingzhou's direction, looked at Shang Wen Tingzhou's worried gaze, 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: "Where 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 **** off by his bad sister.
What makes my mother happy, she is already very happy without disturbing her mother.
If it weren't for worrying that today is his mother's birthday, he would have liked to scold the eldest sister who was not looking and making trouble.
The people who were forced to be divided into everyone did not speak or refute. In fact, they also wanted to watch the good show of Wen's family. Those ministers who had daughters or granddaughters and Wen's family made marriages secretly wanted their daughters to show their faces and press Wen. The son's 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, and Mrs. Ang was 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 was the fiancé of the second son of An Guo, the prostitute of Jian'an Hou.
She gave a precious large-scale calligraphy and painting fairy peach birthday greetings.
Mrs. Wen just smiled and nodded.
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, "Not bad."
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 the sleeves revealed his true feelings.
Ruan Xi stepped forward with the gift box in his hands. He was generous and calm, with a straight waist, a strong aura, and a perfect etiquette and posture. 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 joke, stared in shock and almost knocked over the tea cup in her hand.
She has always known that the teachings of the fourth sister and Lin's mother 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 looked at such dazzling Ruan Ruan, his eyes sparkled, and a flash of pride flashed unconsciously in his eyes.
Mrs. Wen smiled slightly.
The noble girl who was overwhelmed by Ruan Xi's little concubine's aura is not so wonderful. 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 the Bofu 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 as the previous three ladies did and show it for everyone to watch.
"Hey, it's actually a set of handwritten Huayan Sutras. Girl Ruan is interested."
In fact, Mrs. Wen had already learned from Mother Lin that Ruan Xi burned incense and prayed 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 her.
As soon as Mrs. Wen spoke, 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 speak out 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 she is safe and sincere, so that people can not make mistakes, and it is also in line with Miss Ruan Si's status.
This Miss Ruan Si is not simple.
The guests present all 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. The smiles on their faces are slightly stiff and secretly annoyed. Why didn't they think of giving such birthday gifts.
Maybe it’s because the scriptures are too common and common. They didn’t even think about it at all. They just wanted to show off their talents and show their best, but they seemed selfish in front of Ruan Xi’s unremarkable hand-copied Hua Yan Sutra. Heavy, lack of sincerity, abruptly fell 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 hateful.
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 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. Her chest hurts with anger. She wanted to see the Fourth Sister's joke.
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 back 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 is a painting she painted auspicious as intended. The painter is comparable to the young daughter of Dingbei Hou, obviously she has a certain talent in painting.
Mrs. Wen smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Mrs. Wen just smiled and nodded without complimenting, Mu Qingling obviously knew that her performance was out of standard, and she hated Ruan Xi even more, especially the disgusting eyes of her fiance Wen Tingyi made Mu Qingling, who was a normal day. The concubine who was the most favored 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 given 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 Mama Lin?"
The female relatives who were very close to their table raised their ears.
Zhang glared at the unconscious counterfeit.
"Sanniang said carefully, your fourth sister is sincerely praying for Mrs. Wen to copy the scriptures."
"Sister, 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 pretended to look at Ruan Sanniang in surprise.
Zhang sighed in relief and said with a smile: "Si Niang is right, San Niang, you must remember that giving gifts to elders is important, not whether the gifts are expensive."
Ruan Sanniang was unfavorable again when she was out of school, and her face was even more ugly after being caught by her mother for training.
The female family members who overheard all nodded in agreement.
Mu Qingling's words are too purposeful, and everyone can hear the malice in her words. Of course, the other noble ladies who have been beaten know well, but they all secretly praise Mu Qingling for doing well. Prepare to watch the show quietly.
But before Wen Tingzhou stepped forward to protect his wife, Qin Wen played again, and she unceremoniously fell on Mu Qingling.
"Mu Mansion is really a good tutor. I taught you such a narrow-minded and jealous girl. My mother likes to study the Huayan Scriptures. As we all know, it’s not normal to pray for my mother and copy the scriptures? On the previous page, sincerely pray for your mother’s birthday. You only want to show your best talents at your mother’s birthday banquet, and you are sordid thinking that your fiancée will be the same as you."
Qin Wen slapped Mu Qingling's filthy thoughts away, and made Mu Qingling's face pale and gray.
A person who is worrying about a family tutor complains about another person who seems to be worrying about his tutor.
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 that this aunt is actually pretty good.
"Alan said it was good. Some people think badly about people with their own minds, and don't look at what they are like." General Qin grinned and supported 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 she liked this daughter again, she 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.
After Mrs. Wen finished eating the longevity noodles in public, the birthday banquet was officially opened, with delicious wine and delicacies, and the whole banquet continued to give speeches and beaming with joy.
Ruan Xi noticed that there were girls or Wen family members who looked at her from time to time and paid attention to her dining etiquette.
Ruan Xi was quite stable, and his dining and toasting etiquette was elegant, 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, thinking that the first time the male and female master met because of Ruan Sanniang's kick was terrible.
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 beside 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."
Madam 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. Fupin Chinese
