Chapter 1857: Under Siege (2)

But because Ning Huaixiu was a female family member, it was inconvenient for her to enter and exit the main gate, so a servant led the Ning Mansion's coachman and led the Ning family's carriage into the side door specially for receiving female family members. As early as when Ning Mansion drove into the front street, someone had reported the news inside. Therefore, when Ning Huaixiu got off the car with Juhua, Mu Caifei, the eldest young lady of the same generation as them, had already come out to greet them and specially came to receive them.

Fei'er was dressed very solemnly today. She wore a pink peony-embroidered silver brocade wide-sleeved cotton jacket, with fire fox fur on the collar and the edges, and a white moon-colored skirt with peach red edges. She wore a pomegranate red waist belt embroidered with purple and blue peony branches around her waist, and a jade ring under her waist to press her skirt. She wore a flowing cloud bun on her head, and a ruby ​​filigree butterfly gold hairpin was inserted. The hairpin had red gold silk tassels hanging on both sides of her neck, and two thumb-sized water drop-shaped rubies were hung.

She didn't wear earrings, but the two strings of tassel rubies fell right on her neck, swaying in the wind, teasing her fair and graceful neck, which really added to her charm. She looked both pure and lively like a young girl, and charming and attractive like a young woman, even Ning Huaixiu, who had seen countless people, was stunned!

She thought to herself that this vixen was simply from the same family as her sister. After she dealt with her sister, she would have to deal with her too. Otherwise, if the emperor wanted to use this little vixen to miss the old man in the future, wouldn't she be vomiting to death?

Having made up her mind, she swept away the anger in her heart and walked forward with a smile: "Hello, Madam General, we are here to celebrate the birthday of Madam Two. I wonder if it is a little early to come now?"

"Not early, you two are just in time!"

When Fei'er saw Juhua, she was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to come. However, Fei'er is very well-mannered. Since they were already here, she immediately adjusted her mood, greeted them warmly, and let them in.

The eldest wife of the first house, Yang, was crushed to death in the earthquake five months ago. Several young ladies in the family were in mourning for their mother and could not come out to attend the banquet. Mo Zili of the second house did not have a wife, so the young ladies and young wives who came were all received by Fei'er alone.

The old lady of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion valued the second daughter-in-law very much, because the second master had been weak since childhood and had never been an official in his life. The second wife, Bai, as the legitimate daughter of the Wuqing Earl's Mansion, married such a sickly man in this life, and did not even get an imperial decree, and lived a life of poverty for a lifetime. Every year, when the old lady brought the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law to the palace to pay tribute and pay respects, she would feel that her son dragged down the daughter-in-law. Therefore, for Bai's 40th birthday, the old lady deliberately made a big show, and gave invitations to almost all the female relatives of the noble families in the capital, just to make it lively and compensate the second daughter-in-law.

This was the first time that Juhua officially met Fei'er. Seeing a face that looked so much like Caiwei, she looked at Fei'er a few more times. The more she looked, the more she felt that Fei'er was beautiful. Although she was not as majestic and dignified as Caiwei, she also had a gentle and charming aura, which made people feel comfortable when looking at her!

"Thank you both for coming. Please come in. The ladies from the Wuqing Marquis's Mansion and the Zhongyi General's Mansion have already arrived and are resting in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard. Please follow me and I will take you to see them!"

The Wuqing Marquis's Mansion is the second wife Bai's maiden home. Today, the whole family came to celebrate the second wife's birthday. The Zhongyi General's Mansion is the maiden home of the old wife Liu. The current Zhongyi General is the old wife's nephew Liu Tang. Liu Tang has many wives and concubines, including three legitimate daughters, four concubines and seven daughters. Among them, two legitimate daughters and one concubine have already married, and the remaining one legitimate daughter and three concubines are still waiting to be married. They were all brought to attend the second wife's birthday banquet today.
