Mu Yun smiled and reached out to take the small bag and took it in his hand and said, "Your female red girl is much better than me. I can't ask for such exquisite embroidery work, how could I dislike it? You are so kind."

She heard what Mei said very well, and then looked at the socks and embroidered handkerchiefs in the bag, and the embroidery work was exquisite, and she felt a little more fond of Mei. She handed the bag to Yinxin and put it away, and then chatted with Mei.

After going back for nothing, Wen Tingzhou smiled at night and went to the study as usual. After dinner, he went to the study. As a couple for many years, Mu Yun is not blind, so how could he not see that his smile was not enough? Even if he saw him like this, Mu Yun didn't ask much. After all, he never told her about anything outside, and it would be useless to ask.

Although Wen Tingzhou never talks about things outside at home, seeing that something was wrong with him, he knew that there was something wrong with cooking outside. Mu Yun remembered that the Zhang family, which had always been domineering, had been very calm these days, and suddenly felt that things were abnormal.

Mu Yun celebrated her birthday recently. Because she felt something was wrong recently, she specially held a birthday banquet. It was very low-key and only invited a few families close to their family to contact her. These families were just Weishan, Bai Han and Xie and Su families.

County Lord Yongxing rushed over while pregnant, so Mu Yun naturally welcomed to the Chuihuamen to wait for her. After seeing her, he said, "You are not inconvenient, just send a servant over here. I won't mind this. You are so stubborn that I feel uneasy."

County Lord Yongxing laughed and said, "Now you are both children and have a deep blessing. I still look forward to coming here to enjoy your joy and have a caring little cotton jacket!" Miss Su was originally serving her mother carefully, but she couldn't help but tremble when she heard this.

Mu Yun, who was standing opposite, happened to see this scene, and stepped forward to take Miss Su's hand and said, "Isn't your little cotton jacket here?" After that, he secretly winked at County Lord Yongxing.

With the emotional intelligence of the county lord Yongxing, she naturally would not forget the eldest daughter of the concubine. She just felt that the eldest daughter had a lot of thoughts when she came in, and even asked about her biological mother in private.

Therefore, County Lord Yongxing was a little annoyed, so he said this on purpose. Seeing her cautious look, County Lord Yongxing sighed in his heart. He still followed the steps given by Mu Yun, and then reached out to pat the eldest daughter who was holding her hand and said, "I have never forgotten this eldest daughter. This is also what I raised since I was a child. But I finally raised her so beautiful now. I thought about going to someone else's house in a few years, so I felt uncomfortable. It was this eldest sister who was caring that I thought about having another cotton jacket, and when the older one left the door, there was a younger one to accompany me, so that I could save the coldness and secluded around me."

After hearing this, Miss Su slowly loosened her hand holding a veil. She smiled and said, "What is my mother saying? I won't go to other people's houses. I will stay at home and stay by my mother's side for the rest of my life."

County Lord Yongxing smiled and patted her hands: "Silly child, you just said that now. You may not think so in two years. Okay, go and play with your sister in the Wen family. I will tell you about parenting stories with Mrs. Wen."

Before she arrived, the rest of the female relatives had arrived. As soon as the county lord Yongxing arrived, the manager arranged for the female relatives to attend the seat.

Long's heart couldn't help but feel sad when she looked at Mei's jewel-like appearance. Although the business added a large amount of money to her family last time and Wei Shan gave her hundreds of taels of silver, she would not be willing to wear it whenever she saw her daughter who was about to get married and her eldest son far away in the capital. Now she still wore a hairpin of the yellow gems she had bought when she gritted her teeth on the Dragon Boat Festival, and the yellow gems that came to her were only as big as lotus seeds. The aquamarine on Mei's head was as big as a longan's eye!

The more Long thought about it, the more angry she became. It would be fine if she could not compare with Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Su, but now even Mei is about to climb onto her head!

The two of them were next to each other. Mei Shi didn't know her little thoughts. Seeing that her face was not good, she asked with concern: "Why is my sister-in-law's face so bad? But what's the place that is uncomfortable?"

Long forced himself to smile and said, "No, it just didn't sleep well last night. I'm old and sleepless. I was awakened by the sound of heavy rain in the middle of the night and didn't fall asleep again."

Hearing this, Mei replied, "Yes, there is indeed a little more rain here, which is really annoying. But my sister-in-law said that I don't recognize you when you are old. If you ask the ladies here to judge, let us sit together, do we look like they are the same age?"

The table they sat at was respected by Mei and Long. When Mei said this, everyone else naturally gave him face and agreed.

A female relative who was about the same age as the Long family said, "To be honest, Mrs. Wei and I are about the same age. When I first came to Jiangcheng, we looked like we were about the same age. After more than a year of here, why did Mrs. Wei become younger and younger?"

A female relative next to her joined in the fun and said, "This is not simple. It must be because the water and soil here in Jiangcheng are good, and there is not as cold as the wind and sand as the capital. After a long time, the skin looks good."

The female family member shook her head and said, "This is wrong. If you want to say that the water and soil here are good, why are only Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Bai getting younger and younger? Are we still old Pikacha? I don't know how the two ladies take care of them, and I wonder if I can tell us the secret?"

Long was a little fluttered by everyone's words. He smiled and said, "There is no secret? Isn't it just to live like you?"

Mei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is really forgetful! Why is there no secret?"

As she said that, she took out an exquisite porcelain box from her purse and said: "This is the secret. We all use the snow cream from Miss Wen's grocery store and the skin gets better and better."

A female relative smiled and said, "So it's this! To be honest, this lady also gave us two boxes one by one, which was very useful. After I used it, I thought of buying another box for it. As a result, I was shocked when I asked about the price. The face fat of such a box actually costs six taels and six cents of silver! I could only use it for one month, so I was not willing to buy it. In addition, I bought the other one with four taels of silver per box. The one was cheaper and larger in quantity, and it could be used for two months, which was more affordable!"

Mei sneered: "You! You really lost the watermelon and picked up sesame seeds! Isn't it only six taels of silver a month? Who among us can't afford it? If you don't spend it, someone will spend it for you! Although it's not easy for men to make money outside, it can't hold on to the Huayu Lane in Jiangcheng to attract men to like it! We are desperately saving for ten taels of rice balls at home. The men at home don't appreciate our affection, and in the end they will still dislike us! And they will cost at least dozens of taels of silver when they go to Huayu Lane. The saving of a little bit of money we have to spend so hard is not enough for them to squander! So, spend as much as you should, don't save money for him!"

Mei's words made the female members present fall into deep thought. Even Mu Yun at the other table couldn't help but nod when he heard this. There were only those who agreed, and naturally some objections. One of the female members might have been touched by his thoughts and couldn't help saying: "It is said that women should be to please themselves. Our men are not at home for ten days and half a month. No matter how bright I dress up, it would be useless if no one looks at me!"

The person who spoke was a young wife, Child. Mei was quite familiar with her. Seeing her like this, she quickly advised: "Okay, I'm just talking and joking at will. It's worth your way!"

Then Mei Shi whispered again: "Hurry up and take back your tears. You don't think about what day it is today, just crying here!"

Several female relatives sitting next to Tong also comforted her. It would be fine if she didn't persuade her. After she persuaded her, Tong thought of her grievances and cried even harder. Although she tried hard to take back her tears, the tears were out of control at all and rolled down mutteringly. What could she do?

Seeing Tong's situation, Mei was a little at a loss. She knew that Tong's life was not satisfactory, for fear that she would anger Mu Yun again, so she would ask for no good results when she went home. So she tried her best to wipe Tong's tears with a veil. After a while, the two of them were soaked in their veils.

Mei was about to find her maid to get a handkerchief, but she saw a delicate hand reaching over and handing over a white silk handkerchief. Tong was sad and angry that she was not doing well. Suddenly, a cluster of exquisite orchid embroidered handkerchiefs appeared in front of her. She followed the handkerchief and raised her head, and saw that the person standing in front of her was not someone else, but the hostess of this banquet.

Tong felt even more ashamed and quickly stood up and saluted: "I have lost my composure and disturbed my wife's birthday banquet. It's really not right! Please punish me!"

Mu Yun did not answer her words, but just wiped away the tears left by the corner of her eyes with a veil and said softly: "The old saying goes: Women should dress up for those who please themselves. This is not wrong. But we are often limited. Who stipulates that those who please themselves must be men? We women live more difficult than men in this world. If no one pleases them, then please themselves! And who stipulates that we women have to dress up for men? Let's clean up beautifully and be happy."

As he said that, Mu Yun reached out to Yin Liu and said, "Pick up your dressing mirror."

Yin Liu heard this and quickly took out the mirror from his purse and handed it to Mu Yun's hand. Mu Yun put the mirror in front of Tong and said softly: "Remember what you are now."

This was the first time Tong used such a clear mercury mirror. He saw that his eyes and nose were crying red in the mirror, and his hair was a little scattered. He felt that he couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly turned away.

Because she felt that she had ruined Mu Yun's birthday party, she opened her mouth and looked at Mu Yun, her eyes full of guilt.
