    Jia Fu hurried back to Rong Fang along the way. After sitting down, Rong Fang asked her what she had seen before. She only talked about the part about meeting the guests and skipped the meeting with the old lady on the way. The whole afternoon, she continued  Haven't gone out a step.

    It was getting dark, and the guests and clan members had gathered. The lights in the Duke's Mansion were brightly lit. Pei Xiuzhi, the second master Pei Quan, the third elder Pei Xiuke, and several highly respected elders in the clan greeted the guests in front of the longevity hall. Mrs. Xin and the other ladies joined the clan.  Some of the women entertained the female relatives of various families who passed through the house.  When Jiafu followed her mother to the longevity hall, the birthday celebrations were almost over, and only the younger generation of women were left. She was among a group of glamorous women, standing in the corner of the longevity hall, looking up, she saw a birthday plaque hanging high in the middle hall.  , there are four shining golden characters "Baowu Xinghui" written by Pei Quan for his mother's birthday. In a conspicuous position in the middle of the birthday table, there is an imperial gift with a yellow forged base, and a pair of long-handled Ruyi on the horizontal shelf.  On both sides of the pagoda mountain are peach cakes, and on the left and right are various birthday gifts, splendid clothes, and a hall full of gold and jade. There is endless auspiciousness and wealth. Mrs. Pei is no longer in the daytime.  The way Jiafu looked when he saw her, she was wearing a beaded crown and imperial uniform. She was holding a walking stick with a dragon head carved from agarwood. She was full of wealth and honor. She was sitting upright in the middle. She looked rosy and energetic. She nodded frequently with a smile and shouted.  Those who came to pay homage to her and wish her birthday stood up.

    Jiafu was still a relative and a descendant, so she was at the back. Following the guidance of the praise, she joined the people in front to pay her birthday to the old lady.  With a smile on her face, Mrs. Pei asked everyone to get up and go to the back hall to have longevity wine. They left the longevity hall in a commotion of joy and laughter.

    Today, almost no one in the clan knows about the marriage between the Pei Zhen family. Mrs. Meng and Jiafu have also become the focus of attention of those around them. The female relatives of the Pei family have taken the initiative to chat with Mrs. Meng, praising Jiafu for her gentleness and beauty.  She followed her mother, bowing her head shyly, looking exactly like the lady she should be, but secretly she had been paying attention to Brother Quan.

    The incident just a few days ago was not enough to show that she and Brother Quan were in conflict.  In her mind, tonight was also an opportunity.

    Although Brother Quan is outrageous, he also has the natural cunning of a child. He knows that the Duke's residence is not like his grandmother's Song family where he can do as he pleases. He is also a little afraid of his great-grandmother. When he sees his grandmother Mrs. Song, he just wants to go to her.  edge.

    Mrs. Song was surrounded by people and flattered her tonight, and the limelight even overwhelmed Mrs. Xin. How could Mrs. Xin let her grandson go, and asked people to hold her grandson tightly and take him with her, and he was not allowed to leave even a step, so that the birthday banquet came to an end?  , guests began to leave the table one after another, but Jiafu could not find a suitable opportunity to get close to the child, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

    The marriage was imminent, and she had to seize it. Tonight was a good opportunity.  After finally waiting for his mother and Mrs. Xin to sit together, Brother Quan fell asleep again. Mrs. Xin asked someone to take him back to the house to sleep, and he was taken away.

    Jiafu knew that there would be no chance tonight, so she suppressed her disappointment and could only follow Mrs. Meng to continue socializing with others.

    At noon, the birthday banquet was over, and all the remaining guests were sent away one after another. The Duke Wei's Mansion, which had been busy all night, gradually became quiet.

    Mrs. Meng has been busy since she came here, and she is also tired at this time, because her son has left earlier, and she took Jiafu to say goodbye. Mrs. Xin thanked her and said that thanks to her contribution today, she saved a lot of effort, so she had to go in person  After sending her out, Mrs. Meng knew that she had something to do and tried her best to say goodbye. As she was talking, a young girl in her twenties, well-dressed and beautiful with an oval face came up and said with a smile: "Madam, the old lady invites you to come over. I have a few words."  I want to say something.¡±

    This eldest girl's name is Yuzhu, and she is the one who Jia Fu met during the day and was by Mrs. Pei's side.

    Mrs. Xin responded and turned to call a trustworthy housekeeper, Mammy, to go and count the valuable utensils that her servants were packing up for storage on her behalf. However, the mama was not nearby. The girl said that she had something to do and went to the front. Mrs. Xin frowned and complained.  Mrs. Meng said: "Since the old lady is calling, there must be something important. If you trust me, I will count them for you."

    Mrs. Xin was overjoyed, thanked her for her hard work, explained the situation, turned around and hurried away.

    Mrs. Meng turned to Jiafu: "Afu, if you are tired, I will ask someone to take you home first. It should be a while before I finish my work here."

    Jiafu knew that her mother took such pains to befriend Mrs. Xin all for her own sake, so she felt distressed and said, "Mom, let me accompany you."

    Mrs. Meng refused.  Jia Fu knew that there were boys carrying things coming and going, and her mother was probably afraid of bumping into her, so she stopped insisting.

    Yuzhu said: "Auntie, why don't you take me to the old lady's house to wait for you? It's warm there and no one will be walking around. Just pick me up when you're done."

    ?? This Yuzhu was originally the daughter of a wealthy family when she was young. She was ¡õ¡õ years old.He said: "Old madam, my cousin will be back."

    The old woman smiled slightly and nodded: "Good boy, go and have a rest."

    Jiafu bit her lip, and finally endured the words, turned around and walked slowly towards the door with a blessing.

    ¡°Old Madam¡ªOld Madam¡ª¡±

    When she walked to the door, suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard, which sounded a bit harsh in the silent midnight.

    Jia Fu paused and stopped at the door.

    Yuzhu hurried out and yelled at the woman who ran in: "Are you crazy? You are shouting like this in the middle of the night. What happened?"

    "The uncle is back!" The old lady ran out of breath, with a strange expression and gestures with her hands.
