Chapter 343 The Birthday Banquet at the Quji Restaurant

Besides, these big merchants are not only behind them, they also have influence above the court, and they are deeply rooted. Bury Emperor Hongzhi!

If you can pay on credit, people will definitely not lend you money even if they know you have no money. What should I do?
Mou Biao thought for a while and said,

"On credit! If you don't have money, you can use other things instead. Think about it, the prince, if there is something that can be paid to the merchants, discuss it with them, maybe you can find a way..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back,
"Wait until Bengong writes a memorial to report to the emperor..."

The Crown Prince of this room wrote down the memorial and did not mention the comings and goings with Emperor Hongzhi. The Mou family had another happy event in the capital, but it was the marriage between Miss Mou San and Gou Yun, because the Mou family was a married daughter and a concubine Miss, it's simple. The night before the wedding, Si Lian added makeup to Mou Xiuli with a pair of jade paperweights and a set of red coral hair. road,

"Although this old eighth daughter-in-law is of low birth and a little cowardly, she is generous in her actions!"

Mou Xiuli smiled and said,

"How did Auntie find out that she is cowardly?"

Aunt Wang said,

"She seldom goes out on weekdays, and she refuses to go even when the madam sends her to entertain her. This makes her a bit petty and out of touch with the world. I see her temper is a bit cowardly!"

Mou Xiuli shook her head,
"Auntie, you made a mistake this time. From what I can see, even Youshi and Guanshi in this mansion are not as calm and calm as her. This is because they are better off relying on their backgrounds. If not... this Mou It's not certain who will be in charge of the backyard of the mansion in the future!"

Aunt Wang was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Why does Miss San think so highly of Mrs. Ba Shao?"

Mou Xiuli smiled and said,
"Auntie doesn't believe me, so just watch it, and you'll know when the old Bafenfu goes out and lives his own life..."

After a pause,

"Auntie, Liu Lang and Lao Ba have always been on good terms, and you have to take care of Lao Ba's wife in the mansion. It will definitely benefit you in the future!"

Aunt Wang knew that her daughter was smart, and she never lied, so she nodded immediately,

"Even if you have spoken, then I will definitely listen to you!"

The third lady and that Gou Yun hit it off, and when they returned home in the third dynasty, everyone came to meet each other. Si Lian saw the young couple being ridiculed by everyone. Although her face was flushed with shame, she secretly looked at each other, and her eyes were full of affection. Silian looked at it, and felt a little sore in her heart, thinking of her husband who had been divorced soon after she got married,
"Xiao Lin doesn't know when he will be back!"

Eating with everyone in the front hall was lively and lively, but after returning to the Qingjing courtyard, it was already dark, the night wind was cold, and the small courtyard was lonely, sitting alone in front of the window was extraordinarily lonely, so I took out a pen and paper Write a letter to Mou Biao. Since the matter of Mrs. Liu is of great importance, she has already received Mou Bin's order not to write it in the letter. She is afraid that if the letter is accidentally leaked, it will be a catastrophe. She can only pick up some recent ones. Everyday.

She just stayed at home these days and didn't have much to say. She briefly talked about the third sister's marriage, picked up a pen and pondered for a while, stared out the window for a while, and finally wrote it down,
"...The autumn night is long, lonely and lonely, I miss it very much..."

Siliantou was still lamenting all night, life in the boudoir was boring, how could she have sent the letter the next day, and Mrs. Liu at the other end called someone to summon her,

"You were frightened a while ago, and you have been raising it at home. It's been a long time, and you should think it's almost done. Tomorrow, you will go out with me to socialize..."

Even if the mother-in-law said so, Si Lian couldn't push it any further, so she nodded in response and asked Mrs. Liu again,
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing for entertainment tomorrow?"

Liu Dao,
"Tomorrow is the [-]th birthday of Qu Ji Restaurant's old mother. My family has some friendship with the Qu family. The Qu family's post was sent over last month. You can go with me tomorrow!"

Silian nodded,

"Yes!"

On the second day, Si Lian got up early, because today was attending the birthday party of an elderly lady, so Si Lian tried her best to dress up as dignified and dignified as possible, and she chose a light yellow jacket and long skirt, and wore dark peony balls on the outside. The embroidered coat was pressed down, revealing only a small section of the skirt below, and a ruby ​​crown was worn on the head. For fear of being too grand and old-fashioned, two hairpins were removed, and only a single-tailed phoenix hairpin was used. At Lian's age, it still looks old-fashioned to dress like this, but she is going to follow behind Liu Shi as a follower, so she doesn't need to dress too outstandingly, as long as she is well-behaved.

This side went over to Mrs. Liu's side, Mrs. Liu nodded in satisfaction when she saw it,

"Although you are young, you are married and become a wife. It is better to be more solemn..."

So he took Si Lian and went to the Qu family. Guozi Jian Qu Jijiu is a well-known Confucian master, from the official position of the fourth rank, and also in the Guozijian, as long as he is willing to make money, it will be full of money. Only this Qu Jijiu is honest and upright, and he really despises Mou Biao, the head of Jinyiwei who helped the emperor to kill all officials. Only Liu's natal family is somewhat related to Qu Jijiu's old lady, this time it is The old lady made the decision and invited Mrs. Liu to come over, and Qu Jijiu was a filial piety, not daring to disobey the old lady's order, so she could only post the post to the Mou Mansion.

Mu Bin also knew that Qu Jijiu didn't like him, so he didn't show up, and left it to his wife to deal with it. Mrs. Liu came to Qu's house to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and secondly, because of the troubled third child at home. From my son's point of view, isn't the various banquets in the capital just for the female relatives in the backyard to communicate with each other?

When Mrs. Liu led Silien to Qu Mansion in Mitsui Hutong outside the city, the Mitsui Hutong was already tightly blocked by horse-drawn carriages and people. There were countless peaches and plums in Qu Jijiu, and there were countless disciples. Seeing that the carriage could not pass, he led Si Lian down and walked, and began to greet and talk to the ladies and ladies he knew along the way.

Si Lian seldom shows up, and everyone who sees her has to ask her a question, and Mrs. Liu smiled and said,
"This is our eighth daughter-in-law!"

Mou Biao is well-known in the capital, and everyone who sees Si Lian will look at her curiously.
"This is the daughter-in-law married by Mr. Mou!"

All the way we chatted in front of the Qu Mansion, seeing Qu Jijiu and his wife who were welcoming the guests, they went up to congratulate them, the host and guest exchanged greetings, please enter the inner courtyard and sit down, Mrs. Liu sat down with Si Lian, and her own servants served tea Serving melons, fruits and pastries, Mrs. Liu whispered to Si Lian,
"Have you seen that table in the southwest..."

Silian nodded,

"That's Mrs. Qu Jijiu's natal family, the lady of the Lu family, the one in the water red dress, what do you think?"

Then he pointed to a young lady in a long dark blue dress on the other side and said,
"Did you see that...that's the eldest daughter of Qian Song, a disciple of Qu Jijiu...Qian Yu'e, I look very dignified and delicate..."

Mrs. Liu brought Si Lian to help her see each other. There are so many people, thanks to their good eyesight, they won't misidentify people. Si Lian's eyes have also been practiced outside for many years, and she responded carefully. ,
"The young lady from the Lu family is lively, and when she talks to the people next to her, she almost laughs when she says a few words, but she is very open and hearty..."

He also said that Miss Qian's family,

"Sitting like a slack, after a while, she didn't move at all, very dignified..."

Commented on another Qian Shi and pointed it out to her,
"This lady seems to be angry with the people around her, her face is gloomy..."

Liu Dao,
"She... She is a distant relative of our family. Her family has some family background in the south. She is the most outstanding one in the family. She was sent to the capital to choose a good relative. Her cousin is my fifth cousin. Cousin other than clothes, she also calls me cousin, she is about the same age as Saburo, your cousin asked someone to ask me earlier, she said she wanted to tell this girl about marriage, so I thought of it Saburo..."

He paused and frowned,

"She was born in a merchant, so she's a little less tolerant, and she's surrounded by her cousins, presumably there's a gap between the sisters..."

After speaking, he shook his head and said,
"In such an occasion, even if you are unhappy, you have to pretend to be happy and angry. It's not good...not good!"

Si Lian nodded upon hearing this,

"Mother-in-law said so!"

In my conscience, although Liu's aunt has some selfish intentions, she has always stood up straight and sat upright in major matters. Even Mu Bin has nowhere to find fault with her, just like this distant family who is far away and far away again. Like her niece, Liu felt that it was not good, so she didn't want to ration her to a concubine, but it was purely out of publicity, and she didn't mean to be a man at all!
Silian looked at it and said,

"But among the three girls, this one is the prettiest..."

Liu Dao,
"Little young people don't know what to do. No matter how beautiful this is, I can't eat it. I look at a pretty face every day, and one day I get tired of looking at it. Marrying a wife, marrying a virtuous person, and taking a concubine is the only way to accept beauty!"

Not long after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat together, someone invited the old lady to the front hall. The old lady of the Qu family could reach eighty, which is really a long life. Sitting there, she looked kindly, rich and ruddy, but she was a little older. The deaf speaks very loudly. When he sees Mrs. Liu, he speaks loudly,

"This is the fifth girl from San'er's family..."

Mrs. Liu's father is number three, and Mrs. Liu is number five. In terms of seniority, Mrs. Liu's father wants to call the old lady a cousin, and they all have the surname Liu. The old lady is very affectionate when she sees Mrs. Liu. He pulled Si Lian to look again, frowned and pinched her little hand, saying,

"This kid has lost some weight..."

Ask Liu Shi again,

"Who is this?"

Liu replied,

"This is the eighth daughter-in-law of our family..."

"Lao Ba's wife?"

The old lady couldn't remember, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, came to her ear and said,
"The one who used to come to our house to fight with Xuan'er... Hachiro from the Mou family..."

"Oh oh oh oh……"

The old lady remembered, she nodded and took Si Lian to look at her again, saying,

"You poor little girl, you should eat more at home. Your husband's family has money, and they won't be overwhelmed by it!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the old lady asked again,
"Why didn't the eighth boy come, and where did he go to fight?"

Liu replied,

"Now that I'm on an errand and working outside, I can't come over and kowtow to your old man when I'm away from home!"

The old lady was a little surprised,
"I'm all on errands, good, good, good... I have errands..."
