Chapter 018: Happy Birthday

The Duke of Wei was not far from the Duke of Zhongyi's Mansion, and the carriage arrived in a quarter of an hour.

Chu Xinyu Youlan Yi helped her get off the carriage and walked side by side with Chu Jiapeng, following Yuan and the second wife.

The group entered the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, but saw the flowers inside were red and green, and the scene was very lively.

I heard that when the late Duke of Guru Liu Yong was young, he followed the late emperor to fight south and north, and made many great contributions. Later, the first emperor ascended the throne and was named Marquis of Pingyang. He then supported the current emperor and died heroically for the rescue. He was later posthumously named Duke of Guru, and his wife was named Madam of Guru. The eldest son was named Marquis of Weiyang for his father's merits, and later became Duke of Wei. This Duke of Wei was granted by his son today, and his temperament was no worse than that of the Duke of Zhongyi's mansion.

The maids were busy shuttled through the sidewalks, guiding the male and female guests to the right direction, and they were female guests, and the maids took them directly to the residence of the Madam Guardian.

The furniture in the hall of Mrs. Huguo is made of rosewood, with magnificent decorations around it, and the antiques are of top quality. On the chair of the rich rosewood master of Huadiaohai Hall in the middle of the hall, there is a lady Huguo dressed as a birthday star, and there are endless female guests coming to congratulate her.

The lady Huguo has three daughters and two sons, and the eldest son is Liu Cheng, the current Duke of Wei. The middle-aged beautiful woman wearing gorgeous clothes beside her is her eldest daughter-in-law, Duke of Wei. She is helping to collect congratulatory gifts, and the gifts next to her are piled up like mountains, silk, satin, gold and silver antiques.

Yuan and his second wife He gave birthday gifts. After saying something about birthday celebrations, they introduced Chu Xinyu and the other two to the wife of Huguo.

When the Lady Huguo saw Chu Jiaqi, who was wearing simple clothes, her face kept a smile on her face. The others did not pay attention to this detail, but Chu Xinyu saw it.

"Jiapeng Jiaqi Xin Yu Jiating has seen the old lady, madam." The four sisters stepped forward and blessed her body, and then said in unison: "I wish the old lady a blessing as good as the East China Sea and a long life as the South Mountain!"

"Okay, okay!" After all, Mrs. Huguo felt unhappy when she saw the world, but she quickly covered it up and waved her hand with a smile.

The Duke of Wei sent a red envelope to each of the four of them, and praised him, "Mother, look at these four sisters, so beautiful, especially the fifth girl, who is like a flower, is delightful."

Upon hearing this, the wife of Huguo fell on Chu Xinyu's body with bright and savage eyes. She looked at it carefully, and then showed a kind smile, "You are Ruochu's child, right?"

Chu Xinyu was a little flattered. She actually knew her mother, so she stepped forward and politely said, "Yes, old lady."

The lady Huguo raised her hand to Chu Xinyu with a smile and said, "Child, go forward a little and let grandma see you."

"Yes." Chu Xinyu stepped forward as he spoke, and the Madam Huguo held her hand affectionately, and said to the Madam Weiguo: "Juan'er, look at this child who looks like Ruochu, how well-behaved!"

The Duke of Wei smiled and said, "Yes, he looks almost exactly the same as Ruochu's sister."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xinyu couldn't help but ask: "It turns out that old lady, you know my mother."

The Duke of Wei replied, "Yes, your mother grew up by the old lady, and she is also a good sister to me."

It turned out that the late Duke of Huguo and Mei Yi, the father of Mei Ruochu, were classmates and friends for generations. Mei Ruochu was almost the wife of Huguo who watched her grow up. If Mei Ruochu hadn't been marrying Chu Zheng, she would have wanted to pair her with her second son.

Unfortunately, Mei Ruo died of an infancy at a young age, leaving her baby daughter. When she heard this news, the wife of the Huguo was very sad. However, as her husband, Chu Zheng reunited less than three months after her wife's death, so she despised the Chu family's behavior and gradually lost contact with the Chu family.

The wife of Duke Wei Guo and Mei Ruochu were married with handkerchiefs. Later, both of them got married. The wife of Duke Wei Guo followed her husband to Jizhou. When she followed her husband back to Beijing again, Mei Ruochu had been dead for many years, and the daughter she left behind was said to be naughty and difficult to teach, willful and barbaric, and did not have the charm and talent of Mei Ruochu back then.

After she came back, she visited Zhongyi's mansion and took the opportunity to meet Ruochu's sister's daughter. Unfortunately, she missed it by chance. Moreover, Yuan rarely took her to a banquet to show up, so she never met as she wished. Now that they finally met, they wondered, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't think so badly as the rumors said.

The third and sixth girls of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion are both famous as ladies in Jinjing. But judging from the appearance of the girl in front of her, the temperament is not inferior to her two sisters, even better than her.

Mrs. Huguo liked the girl in front of her very much and couldn't help but ask her a few more questions, but today there were many guests. Before she could speak, a distinguished guest came, so she had to let go and ask the maid to take them to the backyard to play.

The second wife met an acquaintance and was pulled aside by them to talk. The third girl followed her mother and did not go to the back garden with them.

Chu Jiaqi and Chu Jiating walked side by side, staring at Chu Xinyu's back in front of him and said disdainfully: "It's so unlucky! It's so eye-catching everywhere you go."

Chu Jiating smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Who told us that we are not as beautiful as her?"

“Is beauty so important?”

"What do you think?"

Chu Jiating did not answer her, but threw the question to her, and then quickly caught up with Yuan and Chu Xinyu in front.

Just as they came to the moon gate of the back garden, a nanny came up lightly and said to Yuan: "Madam Zhongyi, you are here."

Yuan smiled and said, "It's Mama Lin."

"Our wife is here too. We are chatting and watching show with several wives in Yueminglou. Do you want to go over and meet?" Mother Lin smiled and invited.

"Okay." Yuan replied readily, and turned to Chu Jiaqi and Chu Jiating, "You two go to the garden to have fun first, Yu'er, follow me to meet the wife of Duke Ying."

Chu Xinyu was stunned and then said, "Mother, this is not good. How could I just leave the fourth sister and the sixth sister behind me?"

Yuan said: "There is nothing wrong. The wife of the Duke of Ying and your mother were good sisters. I wanted to see you when I knew you were back, so I brought you to celebrate your birthday."

This kind of lie can be made up, and she is really treated like a three-year-old child.

Chu Xinyu thought about it and insisted: "Let the fourth sister and sixth sister accompany me, I'm afraid I will be stage frightened."

"Fifth sister, since the wife of Duke Ying and your mother know each other, go and meet me. We won't go. We'll wait for you in the garden." Chu Jiating didn't care whether Chu Xinyu would be stage frightened or not, and pulled Chu Jiaqi to the back garden.

"Sister Six, go to the back garden to play by yourself." Chu Jiaqi broke free from Chu Jiating's hand and ran to Chu Xinyu and said, "Fifth Sister Five, I'll accompany you."

She knew what Yuan wanted to take Chu Xinyu to meet the wife of Duke Ying, so that she would not let them go!

Seeing this, Chu Xinyu beat the snake and said with a stick, "Then let's go, fourth sister, let's go."

Yuan knew that Chu Jiaqi would make trouble, but so, but so what? The wife of Duke Ying had despised her identity and she was destined to be without a chance.

Chu Jiating saw that they were all going, could she stay by herself?

The fourth brother is really a destructive divine helper, haha.
