November 28th is the birthday of Rong. Although the Qi Mansion has been rumored to have been heard and will not be a big deal. However, the people who gave birthday gifts have been in constant force since early November. Therefore, the Qi Mansion set up a stage in front of the front yard and in front of the West Warehouse Pavilion, and began to invite guests to celebrate their birthdays one after another.

Rong only came out to receive several princesses and family marriage certificates two days ago. Later, he did not see He Ke on the grounds of being unwell. He only chatted and made fun of his young grandchildren in Yinian.

The birthday banquet was mostly handled by the Second Grandma Qi. After a few years of her family, she naturally became familiar with her. However, she went back to Mrs. Qi for the most important thing, and she decided to do everything else by herself. In the past few days, Mrs. Qi was the busiest person. Xun Qingran had just entered the house and was not in charge of the family, so she could have been very leisurely. However, she did not dare to be lazy. She followed Mrs. Qi every day and took this opportunity to get to know the female relatives of the various prefectures that the Qi family had come and go.

On November 27th, only the in-laws of the Qi Mansion were hosted. The male guests were hosted by Master Qi, Master Qi Second, Master Qi Xiu, Master Qi Jian, and Master Qi You in the front yard. The female relatives were invited to the West Warehouse, and the eldest wife and Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi were entertained by Master Qi and Mrs. Qi with several wives.

Only Grandma Xun came from the Xun family, and Baojieer came from the Fang family, and Guan Geer also came. He was young, so he followed Baojieer to sit on the mat of the female family. Xun Shuzhi accompanied the Zhang family's wife and brought the second lady of the Zhang family. Because they were all relatives, the mat was particularly lively. After the banquet was removed, another table and chair were set up, fresh tea and fruits were placed, and the south-facing partitions were widened to facilitate everyone to watch the show. Some people also like to play the leaf cards, and they made a few tables and played very lively.

"Mrs. Zhang, what's the point of sitting alone? Come and play a few games together."

Mrs. Cai greeted a middle-aged woman on the table next to her. Mrs. Cai is Grandma Qi San's mother, and her face is also black and red, her eyebrows are very similar to Grandma Qi San's voice, and her voice is a little higher than Grandma Qi San's. When she said this, everyone was forced to see her. However, it was her table that couldn't get together and was inviting people to join.

"When did you see me playing with that?" Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Cai and refused. Mrs. Cai was not annoyed, and turned her head to greet others again.

"That is your second sister's mother-in-law, the wife of Lord Zhang of the Zongren Mansion. Go and help greet him." Mrs. Qi ordered Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran nodded quickly. This was the first time she met Xun Shuzhi's mother-in-law, and she couldn't help but look carefully. Mrs. Zhang is about forty years old, tall, yellow and white, big eyes, and her eyes are slightly sharp. Her outfit is not gorgeous, but she looks very neat. Xun Shuzhi and the second lady of Zhang family sat beside her, one left and one right, while Xun Shuzhi sat slanted on the chair, half lowered her head, and her hands on her knees, as if she was ready to listen to Mrs. Zhang's instructions at any time. However, the second lady of Zhang family was much casual, unlike her mother's simple dress. The second lady of Zhang family dressed up with a pearl and a pink silk-carved fitted jacket accompanied by a tender green brown skirt, making her look graceful and graceful. From behind, she looked very beautiful.

Before Xun Qingran could reach Mrs. Zhang's table, Xun Shuzhi came over.

"Sister Three, do you have a quiet room? It's a bit noisy here. Our wife wants to find a place to lie down..." Xun Shuzhi asked in a low voice.

"Oh, this is easy to deal with." Xun Qingran smiled and walked to Mrs. Zhang. "There is a clean room behind the warm room. If Mrs. Zhang doesn't dislike it, go there for a rest."

Mrs. Zhang stood up, and the second lady of Zhang family also stood up.

"It's rare to come out. You young people love fun and listen to operas freely." Mrs. Zhang said.

After hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, the second lady of the Zhang family sat down and continued to play.

Xun Qingran asked Mrs. Zhang to a room behind. There was a kang burning in the house, a charcoal basin was built on the ground, and sandalwood was burning in the incense burner in the corner of the house. It was packed up two days ago, and it was prepared for guests to rest.

Xun Qingran helped the Zhang family’s wife sit on the kang, and then ordered the maids to send hot tea hot spots.

"This room is both warm and quiet. Mrs. Zhang, please rest assured. Whatever you want to use is just to give me instructions." Xun Qingran said.

"Please trouble Grandma Four." Mrs. Zhang looked around and nodded at Xun Qingran, "There are so many guests outside, Grandma Four, please go there, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Xun Qingran had long heard that Mrs. Zhang likes quietness and is impatient with socializing, so she agreed to come out and walk to the door. When she turned around, she saw Xun Shuzhi kneeling on the ground with her legs covered with a snow-white veil on her knees. Mrs. Zhang stepped on the veil and let Xun Shuzhi take off her shoes.

………………………………………

"You are a lucky one, follow your third aunt. Look, you are now comparable to those middle-aged ladies." Yuegui came with Xun Shuzhi. Just now, Mrs. Zhang left Xun Shuzhi to serve her in the house, so she took advantage of this time and came out to find Malt to speak.

The malt looked the laurel up and down, "You are not bad either."

"Our wife loves face. This set of clothes is specially worn by me and grandma when I go out. This is the only one." Yue Gui said.

"How is your wife doing to my second aunt?" Malt asked in a low voice.

"I can't tell you. Our wife gives our grandma a certain amount of rice every day, but we don't count how many grains of rice our grandma ate. Every needle, every thread, every piece of grass and every paper at home has to be told one by one before we can use it from her, and the portion is never enough. What's even more annoying is that our grandma has never received monthly money since entering the Zhang family's door. In this way, we are better as servants. Although the monthly money is not much, we still have a few money every month." Yuegui was full of bitterness, but he found someone to be able to pour out, and Barabala said nothing.

"I heard that the Zhang family has some family background. The Zhang family master and several old men have their own investments. Why do they live so tightly? So, my second aunt is not as good as when she was in her parents' home now?" Maltqi said.

"It's not that life is tight, but that people who live are too tight. Just say that the monthly money is too tight. Several grandmas also have it. The eldest and second grandmas hold it in their own hands. Only our grandmas, who just finished the tea of ​​his wife, said that they were afraid that our grandmas would be young and that life was difficult. They spent a lot of money, so they didn't pay the monthly money to our grandmas, saying that she saved it for our grandmas. The dowry of our grandmas was moved to her own yard the day after returning to the door, and she also said that she was afraid that our grandmas would be young and ignorant and ruined, and she would keep it for proper care."

"What happened like this, and my second aunt agreed?"

"You don't know about our grandma's temper." Yue Gui said angrily, "I can't stand it. I helped me say a few words, but I ended up getting beaten for dozens of times. I've been so frustrated these days. Why did I live so hard? I heard that when you followed my third aunt back home, I scolded everyone in the old man's room, but the result was not good. Our grandma blamed me for being sharp and was beaten. I said, "Malt is not as good as anyone who has the bad mouth, and I have never seen her beaten, and I have never even been scolded." Yue Gui felt aggrieved again.

………………………………………

Xun Qingran returned to the table, played the Ye Zi card with Mrs. Qi Er, and then accompanied several wives and grandma to speak. Just as she was thinking about going to Yi Nianju to see Rong, she saw Xun Shuzhi coming out of the back room and waved to her timidly.

Xun Qingran walked over and pulled Xun Shuzhi to the room next to him to speak.

"Why didn't you see your elder sister today?" Xun Shuzhi asked.

The Yang family's birthday gift had been delivered long ago, and it was a large bonsai carved with a whole piece of jade. Yang Tingjun and Qi You and his colleagues from the guards came together to drink. The wife who came in and replied that her grandmother Yang had been feeling uncomfortable since the beginning of winter and could not come to congratulate her.

"The eldest sister said she was unhappy, so she didn't come."

"Oh, I thought I would meet my elder sister here." Xun Shuzhi tore the handkerchief, "I still want to apologize to my elder sister. My elder sister posted a few times, but I didn't go."

Xun Shufang also posted a post to Xun Shuzhi, what exactly did she do? Xun Qingran frowned, "She is in a bad health, so we shouldn't bother."

Xun Shuzhi responded, then lowered her head to drink tea. Xun Qingran and her lived in the same yard for several years, observing their expressions, and understanding that she had something to say.

"There are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, just say it." Xun Qingran said.

"Sister Three, I want to ask you for help if you have something to do." Xun Shuzhi hesitated for a while before saying.

"What's the matter? Please tell me."

Xun Shuzhi almost never asked anyone for help.

"That's right. I... When will the third sister return to the province? Can you send someone to send me a letter? I can go home with my third sister to take a look."

Xun Qingran was a little strange. When she thought of the rumors about Mrs. Zhang, she asked tentatively: "I'm afraid I can't take off my body recently, and I'll have to wait until next month."

"Next month..., that..." Xun Shuzhi tightened her hand.

"Is there any difficulty for the second sister?"

Xun Shuzhi looked out the door, and seemed to have made a great decision, and then said in a low voice: "It's my aunt who is sick, I want to go back and see her. However, I can't speak with our wife. Our wife praised the Duke's Mansion several times. If the third sister invites me to return to the province together, our wife will definitely agree."

Xun Qingran was speechless. Maiya just told her all the complaints. Mrs. Zhang not only took Xun Shuzhi into her property, but also did not allow Xun Shuzhi to go out. So far, Xun Shuzhi has only gone out twice, once back to the door, and the other time to congratulate Mr. Xun on his appointment, and they all went back to his parents' home. Even these two times, there was still a time limit.

"Second sister, I want to say another few more words, maybe the second sister doesn't like to listen to, and just be gentle, it may not be able to please me. Everything is beyond the word "reason". Aunt Wu is sick, and the second sister goes back to visit her. What's wrong with opening up?"

"I know that the third sister's words are for my own good. I just don't want to make my mother-in-law angry. My mother-in-law doesn't let me interact with my aunt, and said that it will make our grandfather shameless. My aunt once went to see me, but my wife didn't let her in at all."

"It's unreasonable. When the second sister was doing this marriage, did they not know the identity of the second sister, and they were shameless at this time. They were the ones they asked for in person at that time." Xun Qingran felt even more uncomfortable when she remembered the scene she saw just now, and frowned, "What do you say to my second brother-in-law?"
