Rebirth of the First Class

Chapter 61 Happy birthday (2)
"Xizhao," Xu said with a smile all over his face, "Hurry up and get ready, and follow me back to my mother's house to celebrate her birthday." Without waiting for Wei Xizhao to speak, he said to himself, "You and I have been very busy these two days. , I didn’t have time to inform you in advance. It’s really hard for you to help Lord Hou copy the scriptures every day, so today I’m using this excuse to go out with me to relax.”

"This is the eldest lady, right?" The mother asked with a smile, and at the same time saluted.

"Exactly." Xu recommended to Wei Xizhao again, "This is my natal mother Wen, who came here to pick you up this early in the morning."

Speaking of this, with Xu's family members present, if she pushed back, Wei Xizhao would inevitably lose her reputation of being timid, and she would not only lose her own face.Wei Xizhao smiled and said respectfully: "It's because the servants in my daughter's room are ignorant, and no one told me about the birthday celebration. My daughter will go back to her room to prepare, and she will go with her mother later."

"That's good." Xu smiled with satisfaction.

Wei Xizhao returned to the room, changed into the dress he wore for formal occasions, and chose the congratulatory gift himself.

While Shen Xing took out the valuables from the room one by one, he said in a low voice: "Madam wants to take you there, I'm afraid she has the same idea as Second Aunt. Miss, can't you not go?"

"I really have to go." Wei Xizhao smiled calmly, "It's just a trick."

After getting ready, Wei Xizhao and Mrs. Xu went out of the Chuihuamen, got into the carriages and rushed to Xu's mansion.

On the way, two fast horses caught up, then slowed down and followed them all the way.

"Who is behind?" Xu asked the woman who was following the car.

The mother-in-law looked around for a moment and replied: "Your eyes are very strange, I have never seen them before."

Xu was suspicious for a moment, then her mind shifted to the present, she just hoped that her wish would be fulfilled and nothing would go wrong.

Arriving at the Chuihua Gate of Xu's Mansion, seeing Wei Xizhao's calm expression, showing a calmness that did not match his age, Xu's heart felt a little uneasy again.Her eldest daughter in name was not so easy to fall for.

The flower hall is already full of guests, beautiful shadows, jewels and emerald eyes.The noble lady sitting in the middle has similar eyebrows and eyes to Mrs. Xu's. Undoubtedly, this is Mrs. Xu from the Governor's Mansion.

Wei Xizhao lowered his eyebrows, followed behind Mrs. Xu, stepped forward to salute, and congratulated Mrs. Xu on her fiftieth birthday.

"This is Xi Zhao, right?" Mrs. Xu smiled kindly and waved to Wei Xizhao, "What a beautiful person, come here quickly, let me have a good look."

Wei Xizhao took advantage of the opportunity to send a congratulatory gift, and said with a smile, "This is a wish from Xi Zhao. I wish you good health and happiness every year."

"Good boy, you can really talk." Mrs. Xu's eyes and brows were filled with joy.

Undoubtedly, from appearance to words and deeds, Mrs. Xu resembles her mother by eight or nine points. What is missing is that Mrs. Xu's eyes and smile are sincere, which makes people involuntarily generate trust and respect.

Mrs. Xu told Mother Wen again: "Hurry up and take Xi Zhao to see all the distinguished guests."

Mother Wen responded respectfully, and walked beside Wei Xizhao with a smile, recommending her one by one.

Wei Xizhao greeted each other and met each other.During this process, the expression was respectful, but neither humble nor overbearing.Later, she found that there were many girls around her own age, all of whom had delicate and beautiful faces like flowers.

There were no more than a dozen wives in total, and they actually brought a dozen or so ladies who were waiting to be married.

Why is that?It is indeed no small matter to come to celebrate Mrs. Xu's birthday, but there is no need to bring all the daughters under your knees, right?When Wei Xizhao was puzzled, a beautiful woman in a honey-colored gown walked into the flower hall.

Mother Wen smiled softly at Wei Xizhao: "This is Mrs. Li, the wife of the prefect of Longcheng. I didn't know where I went just now, and the servant girl was still muttering to herself." As she spoke, she led the way to meet her, "Mrs. Li, This is Miss Weifu, I think you have seen it before?"

Mrs. Li and Wei Xizhao met eyes, their smiles froze, and sadness flashed in their eyes.

Wei Xizhao remembered that Mrs. Li got acquainted with her mother when she was about five or six years old, and then she went to the Wei Mansion to sit for a day and a half from time to time.After her mother passed away, she never saw Mrs. Li again.

After a brief silence, Wei Xizhao collected his emotions and stepped forward to salute gracefully.

"Xi Zhao," Mrs. Li took Wei Xizhao's hand, and she also put on a happy smile, "I have grown so big in a flash, I almost..." I almost took her for Han Yi, and realized that the words were on the verge of her mouth. Out of date, he changed his words, "I almost didn't recognize it."

Wei Xizhao said with a sweet smile: "Xi Zhaoke has never forgotten Madam, and always wanted to ask you about the skills of carving and embroidery. I was afraid that it would be presumptuous to come to visit, but I will not miss the opportunity to see Madam today. .”

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Li's smile turned into joy from the bottom of her heart, "I also have the same intention, now let's sit down and talk about our own words." Then she smiled and looked at Mrs. Xu, "Just now I said Mrs. Tai is blessed, and she wants to be successful, you see, isn't your wish fulfilled at this moment?"

Mrs. Xu said half-truthfully and angrily: "In my opinion, you are acting good when you get a bargain."

All the people in the hall laughed in response to the scene.

Mrs. Li sat down with Wei Xizhao in this spare time, talking affectionately.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Xu felt very unhappy, walked up to Wei Xizhao, and said, "Xizhao, it's rare for you to come here, so come with me to meet some of my nieces. If you are together, you can talk about something if you think about it." go somewhere."

Which play is this for?Wei Xizhao made up his mind a long time ago that he would not leave everyone's sight. Hearing this, he said coquettishly, "Mother, my daughter has always wanted to embroider a hanging screen for you, but she is clumsy and afraid that she won't be able to do it. Today Li The madam gave my daughter a few pointers, and when I go back, I will have confidence in my heart, and I can start to prepare." After speaking, he got up again and approached Mrs. Xu, and said obediently, "When Xi Zhao saw Mrs. Tai, he felt that he was very attracted to each other and wanted to listen to your teachings more. A few words, you don't think Xi Zhao is getting in the way, do you?"

"The child who is as fresh as a flower, I like it, but I don't like it enough. It's rare that you also fall in love with me, so sit down in front of me." Mrs. Xu said, ordering the chair to be brought over, and called Mrs. Li, " You hit it off with Xi Zhao, so come and sit." After speaking, he glanced at Xu's intentionally or unintentionally, and his smile eased.
