Chapter 23 Birthday (1)

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Qi sent invitations to Yuchen and Yuxi, inviting them to her birthday party.

After hearing the news, Yuxi paused, and turned to Zisu and said, "Come with me to Tingyun Pavilion." Since she and Yuchen were invited to go, it is natural to ask Yuchen's opinion first . If Yuchen is willing to go, she will follow, and if Yuchen doesn't go, it's meaningless for her to go.

Yuxi wanted to go to Jiang's house with Yuchen, because she wanted to see if Jiang Hongjin was interested in Yuchen as she had guessed.

Yuchen knew that she didn't even think about the Jiang family's invitation, so he said directly: "We only met Jiang's girl once at the princess's mansion, and we don't have a deep friendship, so just ask someone to prepare a gift for you. "There's no need to go there in person.

Yuxi roughly guessed such a result, and Yuchen would not accept invitations without enough weight. Yuxi said with a smile: "If my sister doesn't go, then I won't go either."

Seeing Yu Xi's appearance, Yu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Girl of the Jiang family, you have a sweet face and a bitter heart, so don't be close friends." Everything Jiang Qi said at that time was trying to provoke her relationship with Yu Xi. Fortunately, she and Yuxi have a deep relationship, and Yuxi is also kind-hearted, and it is not something that others can provoke with a few words.

Yuxi opened her mouth and asked, "How did sister see that the girl from the Jiang family is a sweet-faced and bitter-hearted master?" Yuchen was also very powerful, seeing through Jiang Qi's essence in one fell swoop.

Yuchen didn't explain, just said: "Just remember that this person should not be close friends."

Yu Xi tactfully did not continue this topic.

After sending Yuxi away, Nanny Gui said: "Girl, the Jiang family girl has bad intentions, it's impossible for the fourth girl not to see it."

Yuchen stood up, looked at Nanny Gui, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Nanny Gui was not afraid of Yuchen, and said, "Girl, Fourth Miss is not as gentle and harmless as you think. Miss, don't be fooled by Fourth Miss's appearance."

Yuchen said lightly, "Mama, do you think I am the kind of person who can be deceived and deceived at will?"

Nanny Gui was at a loss for words: "I'm also doing it for the sake of the girl."

After hearing this, Yuchen's expression softened a little, and he said, "I know what you're worried about, Mommy, you've worried about it before. Yuxi has plans, but she's upright, even if she has plans, she will never worry about it." I never took the initiative to do anything harmful. These years, I haven't done anything. Instead, she will lend a helping hand when there are difficulties around her." In order to gain a good reputation, Yuxi helped many maids by the way.

actually,

When Yuchen was apprenticed to her teacher, she knew that Yuxi was scheming, but she didn't reject Yuxi because of this. The reason is very simple, if Yuxi is so innocent and harmless in this mansion, how can she live so well. But as long as the heart is upright, it won't harm others, and it doesn't matter if it is scheming.

Nanny Gui dare not agree with Yuchen's words, but she also knows what Yuchen's bottom line is. Don't look at Yuchen who is usually talkative, once she crosses her bottom line, she won't face anyone.

I went to the Jiang family's banquet with Shou County Lord. I didn't see Yuchen and Yuxi at the banquet, so I asked with a smile, "Did sister Jiang send invitations to the two girls of the Han family?"

Disappointment appeared in Jiang Qi's eyes: "Sister Han and the others didn't come because they had something to do." From the response of the Han family, it was obvious that they didn't plan to have a close relationship with her.

Lord Heshou changed the subject with a smile, and said, "Your second brother passed the children's examination at the beginning of the year, is he preparing to take the township examination?"

Jiang Qi shook his head, and said: "My father said that my second brother is still young, so he has to work hard and take the provincial examination next time."

Lord Heshou smiled and said, "What about your elder brother?" Lord Heshou also asked people to investigate Jiang's affairs after the last banquet. It was also at that time that she knew that Jiang Hongfu, the young master of the Jiang family, was not dead, and that he would be studying in his hometown right now! She remembered very clearly that Jiang Hongfu had an accident when he was nine years old.

This is very clear to Lord Heshou, or because of Jiang Hongjin's great reputation. The youngest number one scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty, few people do not know her situation. People who were supposed to die are still alive now, it's no surprise that there are no ghosts.

The Lord of Heshou County asked people to conduct an in-depth investigation, and found that Jiang Hongfu had indeed had an accident a few years ago, but he was lucky enough to escape at that time. County Lord Heshou didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in Jiang Hongfu's world. She instinctively suspected that it was Yuxi's handwriting, but because the incident had been going on for a long time, no useful information could be found at all. This can be regarded as Yuxi's luck, Jiang Rui helped to deal with the aftermath of that incident, and all traces were cleaned up. As for the man in gray that appeared, except for Jiang Hongfu and the others, no one else knew that there was such a person.

Jiang Qi paused while holding the juice, then smiled and said, "My elder brother is going to end this year." If it was said who Jiang Qi hated the most, Jiang Hongfu would definitely be one of them. Five years ago, her father and mother were very affectionate, but since her eldest brother had an accident that year and returned to his hometown, her father became indifferent to her mother, and also to her and her second brother.

Jiang Qi hated it in his heart, it was an accident, but her elder brother insisted that her mother wanted to kill her, this incident caused the relationship between her father and mother to deteriorate, but he patted his butt and returned to his hometown. These years have been smooth sailing in his hometown Along the way, they are in dire straits every day.

Lord Heshou looked at Jiang Qi and found it interesting: "I heard that your elder brother has worshiped the head of the White Sandalwood Academy as a teacher since he was a child. Why has he been in Jiangnan for the past five years and did not return to Beijing?"

Yu Xiyu saw that her cousin was almost unable to hold on anymore, so she smoothed things out with a smile: "Sister Qi's grandparents are all in Jiangnan, and her elder brother stayed in Jiangnan to accompany his grandparents, and he is also doing his filial piety for my uncle."

Lord Heshou smiled lightly, and didn't insist on this topic anymore.

Jiang Hongjin was in the front yard and asked the concierge: "Have all the guests for today's banquet arrived?" Jiang Hongjin was still very measured and didn't ask the girl of the Han family specifically to prevent people from seeing his purpose clearly.

The concierge thought for a while and said, "The Han family, the Jiang family, and the Sun family didn't come, but they gave the girl a gift."

Jiang Hongjin was a little disappointed, he still wanted to meet that girl! Looks like it won't work today.

Ri waited unhurriedly, and it was the end of September in a blink of an eye. Yuxi's birthday is September 29th, and the Qiu family is planning to hold a birthday party for Yuxi.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Forget it, on my birthday, just invite a few friends to participate, and it will be very tiring to invite so many people to entertain."

Qiu Shi thought for a while and said: "Forget it this time, but next year we can't avoid it." After a pause, Qiu Shi said: "From the end of the year, I will be my housekeeper."

Yuxi opened her mouth: "Auntie, it's a little earlier? I'm busy now, can I talk about it two years later."

Qiu Shi didn't give Yu Xi a chance to avoid it: "Every morning I'm the housekeeper, and you have free control in the afternoon." Seeing what Yu Xi wanted to say, Qiu Shi said: "Not only do you want to follow, but Yu Chen also wants to be together?"

Yuxi hurriedly asked: "What about the eldest sister and the second sister?"

Qiu said, "Together."

Now Yuxi knew why she was asked to follow the housekeeper, and said with a smile: "To drive one sheep is to drive, and to drive four sheep is to drive, is it to save trouble?" She didn't take good care of the housekeeper before, this time she has to be serious .

Qiu poked Yu Xi's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "It's really stupid to compare yourself to a sheep."

When Mrs. Ye entered the room, she saw Mrs. Qiu talking and laughing with her arms around Yuxi. Ye's respectfully saluted, and called out: "Mother."

Qiu nodded with a smile, and said what she said to Yuxi just now: "The girls are all grown up, so they should take care of the housework. You can arrange this matter."

Ye Shi immediately agreed.

Yuxi hurriedly thanked: "I will trouble my sister-in-law in the future."

Mrs. Ye has always wanted to have a good relationship with Yuxi, but Yuxi has always been polite to her: "In a few days, it will be the fourth sister's birthday, how does the fourth sister plan to spend it?"

Yuxi expressed her thoughts.

Mrs. Ye was a little surprised. In previous years, Yuchen and Yuxi's birthdays were not planned because they were going to attend. Mr. Song would not take a holiday just because of their birthdays. But this year there is no need to study with Mr. Song, and when Yuchen celebrates his birthday, he invited girls from relatives and friends to attend. Ye thought that Yuxi would invite many people just like Yuchen.

Yuxi saw Ye's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I don't have many friends." As for relatives, she is not familiar with the Han family's relatives, and as for her natal family, all her natal family members have been reincarnated.

Speaking of which, Pingqinghou's Mansion is also her natal family, but she doesn't want to have anything to do with Pingqinghou's Mansion. She will take advantage of some advantages, for example, she does not have the slightest burden to take advantage of Yuchen, because Yuchende is very good, she will not care. But there are some advantages that you cannot take advantage of. For example, the Pingqing Hou Mansion, if you take advantage of them, they will definitely ask you to pay back ten times.

Seeing that Yuxi was still indifferent to her, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but said to her wet nurse, Hua Po: "What do you mean by Miss Four?" . As far as she knew, the Fourth Miss not only didn't speak ill of her in front of her mother-in-law, but instead said a lot of good things for her. But the fourth girl has always been indifferent to her, and she doesn't like her appearance very much, which makes Ye Shi unable to understand Yuxi's pulse.

Po Hua also couldn't understand: "It doesn't matter what the fourth girl thinks, as long as she doesn't have any malice against the Lord, that's enough."

Ye Shi couldn't think of a reason, so she just let it go.

The old lady had no objection to Yuxi's invitation to only a few girls from the Zhou family and Duan Xinrong, but Yuchen did not agree.

Yuchen said: "Fourth sister, after all, it's your eleventh birthday, so it's too simple. If you're afraid that the reception won't make you wrinkle, you'll still have me, eldest sister, and second sister!" benefit.

Yuxi said: "It won't be too late to do it next year! Sis, this time you will follow me!" She just wanted to have more quiet days, and she didn't want to make a fuss.

Looking at Yuxi's appearance, Yuchen was a little funny, and said, "It's just this one time, it's not going to be another example." In fact, a family usually invites many people to participate in birthdays, not really for birthday celebrations, but more for the purpose of communicating and broadening relationships.

Yuxi really doesn't have many friends, only Duan Xinrong and Zhou Shiya are close. Yuxi's point of view is that there are not many friends in Jing. However, the Duke's Mansion is related to the Zhou family. If she invites Zhou Shiya alone, she will not only offend others, but also make it difficult for Zhou Shiya: "Except for the cousins ​​of the Zhou family, I will only invite sister Xin Rong."

Yuchen glanced at Yuxi, saw that she didn't respond, and let go of the plan in his heart: "I'll let you make the decision this time, and I can't do this again next time." Yuchen has always wanted Yuxi to marry her natal family. close, but Yuxi is very resistant, and doesn't like going to Jiang's house very much. These years, he never wanted to go to Jiang's house with her. The First Daughter Rebirth (..)( The First Daughter Rebirth )
