295. There is not enough food and drink, and there is also a lot of sleep!

"It's just right, this is the first gift from my third sister." Qi Mingluan, the fast jade decoration that Mu Tong took off, took a look. After all, she was born in a jade house. Her appreciation of jade was trained in this way. The color of the jade plaque carved with a kirin pattern clearly shows that it has been many years of sight and is constantly rubbed on the surface.

The reason why I can recognize Qilin is because I heard about Ginkgo. It used to be equivalent to the national emblem of the land country, but now it is the family emblem of the Beihou family.

It can be said that having such a jade plaque on his body is more effective than ordinary officials, but the rest of the Qi family did not know about this. They just thought it was an ordinary jade ornament carried by Beihou. It didn't explain when Beihou gave it to Qi Minglan, so grandmother and parents did not refuse.

"Mingluan, aren't this Han Wu's adoptive father? I will definitely give you a generous gift when the third lady and the hairpin." Mu Tong pretended to be angry and was displeased with Qi Minglan's gratitude.

"How dare you take this? Besides, there is no rule to give birth to a concubine's daughter or a wedding ceremony." Mrs. Qi was not because Qi Minglan received the extra attention of Beihou, but just said the rules.

"If you don't do it well and it doesn't affect the reception of gifts, just think that it's like a family having a meal today. The old lady will never dislike me." Mu Tong held the wine glass and symbolically greeted Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi did not drink alcohol because the wound on her arm was repeatedly told by Qi Mingluan that there were various places where there were taboos. If it weren't for Xu's light, even fish would not be able to eat it.

"If the Marquis's wife is better that day, please invite her to come to the mansion to sit. If there are any tricks you want, I will ask Minglan to embroider." Xu answered the words for Mrs. Qi. This is also the responsibility of her mistress, the normal social relationship. "Minglan, please go back to the table first. The immortal picture in the room will be neat and orderly, and let the Marquis take it back to the Marquis' wife."

"Father, this is not very good." Mu Jingping tried to interrupt the arrangement that Xu had just made. Mu Tong looked at him with a little displeasure, so he had to continue saying. "My son knew that his father wanted to give it to his mother to please his mother, but the eldest brother had just hidden a pair of embroidery from the third lady to give it a surprise to his mother's birthday. If the father gave it to him now, wouldn't the elder brother's surprise be a surprise? If his father also gave it to him on his birthday, it would be less innovative."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Mu Tong nodded after hearing this, "Then like this, put that set of embroidery in the mansion first, and then give it to the person who brings it to you after the birthday of the person in the house. Anyway, I will have to stay at the inn for a long time."

"Minglan dares not. Being appreciated by the Marquis is also a blessing for the immortal map and a fate, so naturally he will not give it to others." Qi Minglan gave a blessing, and after receiving the expressions of Mrs. Qi and Xu, he went back to his table.

"My sister-in-law's birthday is the only girl Hong in Minglan, I'm afraid she's not a gift. I wonder if my sister-in-law likes jade ornaments. How about I ask the shop to make a set? Ran'er, do you think my sister-in-law will like it?"

Qi Houru directly called his sister-in-law and said that Qi Mingluan was almost choked by food. His father was so thick-skinned that he was still as familiar as a businessman.

"Dad, you only look stingy when giving jade ornaments. Who doesn't know that the Royal Shang Qi family started out as a family made of jade. My daughter, I have been having fun since I was a child, and I have to give gifts to gifts. Just like the third sister, although it is a woman who is not very eye-catching, her skills and embroidered faces are the first ones in the Dayu Dynasty."

Qi Mingluan did not give Qi Houru any face. After basically, she joked that her father was her digestive activity after meals. After hearing Qi Mingluan's words, Xu not only did not say that she was not qualified, but instead followed her to cheer and cover her face and laugh.

"My son didn't know how he came back from this wife back then. I'm not afraid of you, Marquis. He has been on his birthday for so many years, and the gifts he gave are all kinds of jade, and there is no new idea."

Mrs. Qi even added a sentence to the point of being a slaughtered by Qi Mingluan, who really admired her grandmother’s ability to criticize her son, but recalling that from the beginning of her 100-day banquet to the present, isn’t the grandmother’s gifts to her every year’s birthday.

"Xiao Mingluan's mouth, who can tell you?" Mu Tong laughed. This girl, it turns out that she is so good at home to her own father. This is a kind of relationship between two generations that Mu Tong has not experienced. The atmosphere is very harmonious. "But my wife doesn't love these external things too much. If you want to say what she cares most, it's Jianping, who always worrys about him. Although she doesn't expect him to do anything big, she is almost married and has not yet had a good face."

"It's better to do this." Mu Tong said a lot, then went around Qi Shaocheng's side, and then made a suggestion, "My wife's birthday is just a small banquet at home. If it's not time, let Shaocheng lead Xiao Mingluan to the post station to have a meal. Seeing such a smart and cute adopted daughter, it must be the best birthday gift."

Yes, I also walked around the head of this princess, saying it sounds nice and it's enough to visit the door, but if anyone is embarrassed to go to the door, he will not be allowed to prepare a generous gift.

Hey, no, someone was embarrassed to be empty-handed. Mu Tong brought his three sons to eat and drink, but he didn't see any gifts. Moreover, your Mu Jianping family still owes this princess ten ingots of gold.

Alas, I can't refuse. I recognized my foster father and brother, but it was unreasonable to have not paid any respects to my foster mother. I have to go sooner or later. Fortunately, I will not be bored with my elder brother.

When Qi Minglan returned to her seat, she was stared at Qi Mingyue with resentment, and looked at the main table from time to time with expectation. Maybe she was expecting that Beihou would meet his third sister Qi Minglan and meet her fifth brother and her sixth lady one by one, but after all, it was a luxury.

"Congratulations to the third sister for receiving the gift from Beihou. The value of the east and west is not important. The important one is given by Beihou." The expression on Qi Shaoguang's face did not change much. The servant had already removed most of the dishes and replaced them with tea and snacks. Qi Shaoguang specially brought the hottest cup in front of Qi Minglan.

"Thank you, my fifth brother." Qi Minglan's answer was not known as the congratulations from Qi Shaoguang, or whether it was thanking Qi Shaoguang for keeping tea for her. Being cautious in words and words and actions has become a principle that goes deep into Qi Minglan's bones.

"Aunt Xiao knows, he will be happy for his third sister." Qi Shaoguang didn't care whether Qi Minglan said more or less. He has been going to the shop to help more and more, especially after the fourth young master Qi Shaoyuan was scolded by his grandmother for some reason, his father took him to deal with more things.

"I don't know anything else, I'll just do some embroidery styles. I just want to embroider some small clothes. I can give it to my brother or sister after several months. In fact, I'm just like you, just thinking about ways to please my mother." I said a long list of words with a plain tone, but said things Qi Shaoguang, even Qi Mingyue wouldn't say easily.

As children of illegitimate children, pleased the mistress is their daily homework. It not only affects their status in the mansion, but also affects future marriages and offends the mistress. The concubine's son often marry a small family daughter at will, and he will drive out the family property and pass it alone. If a concubine is a concubine, it is even easier to control. It is good to be a concubine and fill a house. At least he is married, he is afraid that the mistress would rather raise one more person with idle food and food, so that a daughter's family will be abandoned and become an old girl who cannot get married.

Qi Shaoguang is not worried now. Although the Qing Aunt is dead and the reason for his death is not glorious, his father and mistress have not transferred their resentment to him. Instead, they have received more concern from his mother. Now that he can gain a firm foothold in the shop and his father's goodness is his direction of efforts.

Compared to this, Qi Mingyue's future is a little bleak, especially after Xu was pregnant, even though she still lived in Xu's courtyard like Qi Minglan, Qi Minglan would occasionally be summoned to embroider a handkerchief or something. However, she, the sixth lady, was completely ignored. There was no difference between having her or not.

Therefore, Qi Mingyue was even more jealous of Qi Minglan's appearance in front of Beihou. You should know that Qi Minglan was in her prime and got such benefits in front of her grandmother, father and mother. This is a great help to discuss marriage. Maybe she would be allowed to be a middle-aged family as a full-time wife.

"Sixth sister, do you think Beihou valued the third sister so much, would he pay attention to the marriage for the third sister?" Qi Shaoguang said deliberately about this topic as if he knew what Qi Mingyue was thinking. "Yes, now that the third son has just been engaged, the marquis will definitely be anxious about the marriage between the prince and the second son, maybe..."

"Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense. Grandma heard it and blamed him." Qi Minglan lowered her tone and stopped Qi Shaoguang and continued to say.

Qi Shaoguang smiled apologetically and stopped talking. Moreover, even if Qi Minglan did not stop him, he would not be so stupid as to say what he said later.

Only Qi Mingyue, who naturally completed Qi Shaoguang's words in his mind. Maybe something was wrong with Qi Minglan and wanted to plan a marriage for his other two sons. A concubine's daughter is not qualified to be a wife of a marquis and son. She can still be a concubine. Sister Shu married a prince and became a concubine, and she also had a relationship with the seventh sister. It was a matter of a few words.

The more I thought about it, the more resentful Qi Mingyue looked at Qi Minglan. From the time when Qi Minglan deliberately attracted the attention of the main table, everything was planned by her. She pretended to be well-behaved, submissive, and quietly planned for the future.

Just as he was stunned, Qi Shaoguang pushed him a little. The table was dispersed from the main table. Mrs. Qi and Xu were about to go back to their room to rest. Qi Houru and Beihou seemed not satisfied yet and planned to change places. The three of them in the next table stood up and gave the elders and distinguished guests.

"Father, why don't I and my elder brother go back first? What about you, third brother? How are you going?" Mu Jingping and the others bowed to Mrs. Qi and Xu and gave a simple greeting.

"It seems to be getting late outside, but I just felt that I was having a good chat with my brother, so I couldn't say how long to disturb my drinking and talking." When Mu Tong's unconscious smile appeared, it was often when he was thinking about it. Qi Mingluan guessed what Mu Tong would say next. "Otherwise, if Mrs. Qi doesn't dislike it, can I prepare a room with her three sons for a temporary rest and say goodbye tomorrow? Of course, if it is inconvenient..."

"Haha, this is what the marquis is looking down on me. The Qi Mansion is not as big as the marquis' mansion, but there are still guest rooms. I'm afraid the marquis will think the room is not spacious enough." Mrs. Qi smiled and waved her hand, just letting her son Qi Houru make arrangements. After that, she insisted on sending Xu back to the courtyard first and then back to the house by herself.
