Chapter 120 Longevity
On May 19th, the sun shone brightly. However, Chen was in a straight dress, Gu Xiying walked towards Yanqiyuan. The British Duke made a set of punches in the garden and just came back when he saw his little daughter smiling and taking out a brocade box and congratulating her birthday softly. The British Duke smiled and even used an extra bowl of breakfast.
The British Duke's birthday is not much the same as the owner of another mansion. There are basically no female relatives. Almost all those who come to congratulate the Duke, General, Marquis and the comrades come alone, at most one or two of their own children, and basically no one to celebrate with his wife.
The reason is very simple. The British Duke's wife came from a country that had been destroyed, and she only wanted to live in seclusion and did not want to make friends with guests. Gu Xiying didn't like to greet the girls of those girls. Of course, what is definitely said to the outside world is that Min and Princess are still young, and they are different from all the wives, and they are not polite to treat guests. In such a large Duke's mansion, it is hard to call those wives and girls from the high-ranking families to come, so let the nanny in charge of the hospital be treated.
Over time, everyone agreed that the British Duke's birthday party would come without the female relatives.
It is better to walk around, and it is easier to walk around without walking. At first, Mrs. Xiao felt that she was not competent enough, but after several conversations between the couple, they even thought that it was so good.
Gu Yubin and Song Jing came together, and the two handsome young men were handsome and eye-catching.
Today, Song Jing wore a stone-blue brocade robe with embroidered characters, festive everywhere, and was full of energy, without the sorrow of the boy under the moon last night. The boy shouted auspicious words like Zhu uncle Kang Tai, and knelt down when he lifted his clothes, and then kowtowed seriously.
From then on, the servants and guards from Manchu came to the main courtyard to invite An. Butler Ning sent a reward to everyone. After a few instructions, he went back to his place.
Mrs. Xiao joked: "Fortunately, there are few masters in the family, and there are only four people coming and going. Otherwise, they would have to kowtow more in the year." Mrs. Xiao was originally the princess, and the palace rules were even more serious, so naturally she was used to seeing the palace people kneeling down. This is why the British Duke's Mansion really treats the servants and will not kowtow at any time.
After the family had breakfast, the British Duke calculated the time and went to the outer study room first. Gu Xiying ordered Mo Yu and Wanqing to pack up the lakeside pavilion, and Zhou Guangming and the others would go there directly when they came. I think they were not very willing to go to the main banquet.
"What if they want to go and have some fun?" Wan Qing asked.
Then let them go.
Gu Xiying didn't care much about it and waved her hand.
"Princess, there is no visit from Sun Duwei today." Mo Yu suddenly said.
Gu Xiying looked at Mo Yu and didn't remember who the Duwei named Sun was.
"Sun Changshan's father Sun Cheng'an just mentioned the commander of the cavalry this year and was working under General Mo Nian." Mo Yu reminded. Mrs. Cen mentioned Sun Changshan's father's official position, and Mo Yu remembered it.
Now let me mention it, that is, Sun Changshan did not come to the birthday party of the British Duke today.
"They are cautious in their family, and they are afraid they dare not come to the door to submit a message. You send someone to the office to check out whether there is any congratulations to Sun Changshan. If there is one, it would be fine. If not, you will find someone and call him in the afternoon." Gu Xiying ordered casually, thinking that it was not a big deal.
Mo Yuyuan wanted to call Zhaohong to see it. After thinking about it, he ordered Zhaohong to help Wanqing clean up the water pavilion. He dressed up himself and went to the office in person.
Sun Changshanguang was tall but not brainy. He had just got the opportunity to enter and leave the British Duke's Mansion. If he didn't even understand the basic etiquette, wouldn't he let down the princess for his support?
Moyu has always been kind to others and does not want to suffer any twists and turns when he meets people he knows.
The water pavilion was prepared, but it only added some things to go in according to Gu Xiying's preferences, so it was fine to clean it up. Gu Xiying walked over and saw five seats in the water pavilion. Seeing Zhaohong busy, he knew that Moyu had personally been inquiring about Sun Changshan.
"Why are there five cases?" Gu Xiying asked deliberately.
Zhaohong hurried forward, thinking that Gu Xiying didn't like it, "Princess, it's my idea. I thought that if the prince and the cousin were tired of being in the front yard, they could come here to take a break, so they would have five seats." Zhaohong said, lowering her head and feeling a little embarrassed.
Wanqing listened to the movement and wanted to come over to say a few words to Zhaohong. She glanced at Gu Xiying's expression and found that her princess was not angry, so she was busy with her own affairs. Zhaohong suddenly became a little isolated and helpless.
"It's very good. I think very thoughtfully. I'm right in my judgment and dare to do things. I'm really quick. You have to be more confident in the future." Gu Xiying praised, which made Zhaohong smile happily.
Wan Qing raised her eyebrows towards Zhaohong and smiled.
Mo Yu was about to go and go back soon. When she came back, she said that Sun Changshan had submitted a post of Gongqing, saying that it was the first time he invited him to see him in the Ming Dynasty. Her father was a little nervous and did not dare to bother him. Gu Xiying thought it was reasonable, after all, she was not familiar with him. If Sun Changshan could walk around now, she would make her suspicious of her previous excitement and clumsiness, she would pretend to behave.
Being apart and humble is not afraid, or being clumsy and panic is okay, but if you bring in someone with ulterior motives for the mansion, it would be a big mistake.
Gu Xiying waved her hand and asked Zhaohong to go to the front yard to help but keep an eye on it. When Zhou Guangming and Zhou Qing arrived, they would bring the lakeside pavilion after seeing their father, so as not to be entangled by visitors. They were young and had never left the palace for banquets. Don’t be flirted with by those who wanted to try to find out any loopholes. It is hard to explain to His Highness the Queen. After all, Song Jing invited the Duke’s Mansion for the Duke’s Mansion. If something happened, it would be a small matter. If it disturbed the diplomatic relations between the two countries, no one could afford it.
Gu Xiying gave the instructions clearly and said it seriously. Zhao Hong took the order and left. She looked like she was entrusted with an important task, which made Wan Qing feel interesting. She wanted to make a joke, but she thought that Zhao Hong's family was not easy. She was considered to be the first-class maid and couldn't speak.
Of course, Gu Xiying didn't say everything. As the legitimate son of the central palace, Zhou Guangming was not afraid of anyone having the courage to get in. But Zhou Qing was different. He had a special identity and was not too high. If someone tried to use the plot to cling to her, the matter would be in her own house, and she would have lost some of the people.
Unexpectedly, as the Si hour was about to pass, the guests came in groups of three or three. Zhou Guangming and Zhou Qing were still missing. According to Zhou Guangming's personality, he should have come when he could leave the palace. No matter how he greeted him in the outer courtyard, he should have arrived a quarter of an hour ago.
"Mo Yu, go to the front yard to see it, don't let Your Highness Ninth be stuck with anything. If someone is not very good at it in our mansion, we will deal with it on the spot." Gu Xiying frowned.
Mo Yu took the order and went to the front hall. It was not that the servants in the mansion had any thoughts that they should not have, but that Zhou Guangming presented the birthday gifts he brought after seeing the ceremony to the Duke. Not only did he and Zhou Qing, but also Zhou Guangyu, the queen, and congratulated the emperor. For a moment, people were surrounded and congratulated the Duke in turn. After several big gifts, Zhou Guangming held his head and was surrounded by the men who came with his father and were complimented.
