In Yulong Hall, all the guests who came to congratulate were female relatives, so naturally there was no need to separate the male guest seat and the female guest seat.

The mat was set up in a temporary sunshade pavilion by the koi pond. There were six tables in total, and each table was six people. I think it was a great choice.

Qin, the Prime Minister's wife and other well-known men were still talking in the main hall. Most of the ladies who had already sat down were invited to the tables behind.

Thirty-san was taken by Si Le to the side hall where the gifts were placed. As soon as Lin Yaxi and Durian came in, Lin Wanxiang waved at them.

"Fourth sister."

The two of them were indeed far from the center seat where Qin was. Lin Yaxi thought, it would be better to be disgusted with each other and be careless if they were not seen.

Although Lin Wanxiang acted as if nothing had happened on her face, she knew in her heart that after appreciating Ju Yan, how could Lin Yaxi not have any grudges against her?

The two chatted briefly for a while.

"Sister Four, I asked Qingyi to go to the housekeeper two days ago and asked him to ask for gifts to my mother one by one after another."

Lin Yaxi stared at the various koi swimming in the pool and said carelessly

"Does the housekeeper think the banquet is not long enough? Each of the thirty-six guests said a few auspicious words and then introduced the gifts. It will take more than an hour."

Lin Wanxiang did not answer her with complaints. "I'm right. I wonder what kind of gift the fourth sister is preparing?"

"Sister Three, don't worry. Will the gift be announced soon?"

Lin Wanxiang shrugged her hands on the edge of the table.

"I'm not in a hurry. The fourth sister can always find a unique way and come up with all kinds of ideas that others can't even think of. I can't help but be curious."

The girl turned her head and looked at her with a smile. "Three sisters, I'm curious but it will kill the cat."

Lin Wanxiang was beside her, Qingyi clenched her fists and said secretly that she might not kill anyone.

At the second of noon, the ladies in the main hall were supported by maids and came out one after another.

Qin took Lin Wanrong's arm and was the last one to sit in the seat. A polite smile appeared on her face. She looked around for a while, and her tone was arrogant.

"Thank you all for your appreciation today and visiting my birthday party. To express your gratitude, Yulong Hall has prepared some thin wine and mussels. I hope you sisters don't dislike me."

The ladies laughed and said, "Mrs. Qin is so polite!"

The maids held the food plates in their hands and entered the sunshade pavilion in an orderly manner. They looked elegant and honest, and they knew they were maids trained by wealthy families.

A plate of exquisite specialty meals were placed on the round table. The recipes and ingredients in the mountains, south, sea and north made people excited.

In just one cup of tea, the dishes were served.

As soon as Qin Shi moved her first chopsticks, the housekeeper brought a decently dressed manager over.

The woman held a red painted wooden box that was one foot square in her arms, smiling and said to Qin Shi.

"Madam, the master said that you are here to host a banquet for all the female relatives. As a man, he is not convenient to come. I will come to Yulongtang to see you later. I will order the old slave to send a birthday gift first!"

Seeing that it was the person in Lin Guogong's yard, and in front of his colleague's wife, Qin Shi's face was shining and she replied very kindly.

"I'm sorry, Madam Fan, I ran this time. I went down with the girls to have a glass of wine, and then left after receiving the reward. I have received the master's wishes. What other gifts are there for the old couple..."

When she heard that there was a reward, Madam Fan said a few more words to celebrate her birthday.

As soon as she left, the wife of the prime minister at the same table immediately joked. "I just said that Feng Shangshu and his wife had a deep relationship, so the Duke of the State let us understand why love is stronger than Jin."

The ladies at the table next to each other agreed, and they all envied Qin.

The wife of Shangshu shook her head and then started to make a fuss.

"Open the box quickly so that we can see what the Duke of the State gave."

Lin Yaxi was also shown by Duke Lin's affection. She didn't usually see how favored Qin was. This time she did it for outsiders to show her, was it just to earn face for Qin?

After thinking about it, she still decided to refute this idea. It was better to say that Duke Lin was building the image of a good man than to serve Qin. As for what she did, she had no way of knowing what she did.

Everyone's attention was focused on the box in Si Le's hand. She pressed a secret buckle of a gem in the shape of a droplet, and then took out a small incense burner from the velvet cloth wrapped inside.

The yellow base is black, with a gradual layer in the middle and a dark pattern. The hollow carving is very exquisite. The volume is smaller than that of the usual ones placed on the desk.

The ladies were still secretly guessing the origin of the incense burner. The wife of the Shangshu who was sitting closest suddenly exclaimed. "It's the rhino horn!"

The Prime Minister’s wife on the other side also nodded in agreement. “It’s as black as lacquer and yellow as millet. It’s transparent from top to bottom, and it’s clear that it can be seen from clouds and rain. It’s actually the best among rhino horns.”

The female family members who were fed a mouthful of dog food were repeatedly praised.

"Mrs. Qin's life is so good. She is willing to use rare things like rhino horns as gifts. If a husband is like this, what else can a wife ask for?"

"Okay. If you continue to say this, I will feel ashamed."

Seeing that he was almost envious, Qin pretended to stop him.

"If you don't eat it, the food will be cold. Come on, let me give you a cup first. This is a fruit wine made from fresh fruits from early summer, and it won't be intoxicating."

During the luncheon, there was no man here, and the ladies were even more relaxed. Those who were interested and active stood up one after another and toasted Qin on the main table.

Sitting in the original chattering, he also looked around from time to time. Some of his eyes were aimed at Lin Yaxi.

She was using the meal politely, serving a ladylike look who didn't say anything and didn't say anything. When she looked at people, she just smiled gracefully.

The comparison sounds quietly rang.

"The three ladies in the Duke's Mansion all have excellent appearances, but the fourth ladies are the most important. In comparison, the third ladies are a little inferior and are too beautiful."

"Mrs. Xu was also talking just now. The fourth lady dances well and her painting skills are first-class. It's a pity that she was given by a concubine. If she wants to match my son, the wife will never be able to do it, and she may not be willing to do so."

"I can't help but not. Isn't it just a matter of the mistress?"

Before coming, Lin Yaxi expected that she would be considered by character, so there was nothing to say. However, when Lin Wanxiang heard this, her self-esteem was hit again.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

The guests at the front tables have already displayed the gifts given to Qin. There are both valuable and thoughtful ones.

When it was Lin Wanxiang's turn, she walked forward gracefully. Qingyi, behind her, held a thick stack of thin rice paper in her hands.

Both of them knelt solemnly in front of Qin's seat. Lin Wanxiang spoke first.

"Today is the mother's birthday. My daughter wishes her happiness and happiness to accompany her at all times, and to be happy and prosperous around the doors and windows."

"What are you doing with such a great gift? Si Le, why don't you help Miss San get up?"

Qin also quickly reached out to help her.

"I'm not old enough to celebrate my birthday. I'm just looking for an excuse to have fun with you."
