Of the three young masters of the Zhang family, Zhang Tinglu was the first to arrive.

He had already met Sifujin and knew that Sifujin was a very nice person. As soon as he heard that Fujin was inviting him, he immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over.

Zhang Tinglu is a little shy when facing strangers.

He glanced at the ladies looking at him in the room, feeling a little nervous at first. Then he saw his loving mother and the smiling Si Fujin, and came to say hello: "I've met Si Fujin."

Luo Jianing smiled and chatted with him for a few words.

Zhang Tinglu looked around and saw that her two brothers hadn't arrived yet, so she pointed to the door and said to Si Fujin: "Wait a moment, I'll call them."

Seeing that the other two Mr. Zhang didn't come, Luo Jianing had already changed her mind, so she said: "If they are busy, it's okay not to come. I just heard what my fourth master said about your brothers' talents, and I was very interested."

I admire you so I want to meet you."

After saying that, she turned her head and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Now that I think about it, today is your birthday banquet. They are busy today, so it's okay not to see them. It's okay to see you when you are free in the future."

Zhang Tingzhan waved his hand: "They are available, but they haven't come yet for a while. I can just call them, and you can just wait."

Because there was not much age difference between him and Si Fujin, and Si Fujin did not identify himself when they first met, so he forgot to use his honorific title as he talked.

Mrs. Zhang was startled and felt that her son was too disrespectful to Si Fujin. She hurriedly said: "Why are you talking?" She gave her son an angry look.

In fact, Luo Jianing was slightly younger than Zhang Tinglu, who was in her early twenties. Seeing that Zhang Tinglu lowered her head after being told by her mother, Luo Jianing hurriedly said: "It's okay. When I met him before, he helped me.

He was very busy. Later he went to the palace to pay a visit to the Queen Mother, and he happened to meet me. We are familiar with each other."

Mrs. Zhang didn’t know much about these things. After hearing this, she was surprised for a moment and then smiled in relief.

After listening to these words, the wife of a young minister wondered: "No wonder Sifujin came to the old lady to attend the birthday banquet. Is it for the sake of the third young master?"

This statement seems a bit provocative.

What's more, it doesn't sound good for a married wife of Sifujin to come here for a man who is not married.

Mrs. Zhang was unhappy, but this was her birthday party, and she couldn't say anything to others when they came to celebrate her birthday.

This situation is different from when Guo Luoluo came.

Guo Luoluo didn't originally wish her a birthday, but when she heard that Si Fujin was here and deliberately provoked her, she naturally refuted it on the spot.

But this Shaoqing's wife actually accepted her invitation and came here. As her invited guest, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but have a fit on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhang Tinglu is still here.

Although Zhang Tinglu is a bit shy by nature, she is never frightened when something happens.

He cupped his hands to the lady and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm not that proud. I only met Sifujin twice to get Sifujin to come for me."

After finishing speaking, he stood up straight and said a little shyly: "His Majesty heard that some of our brothers were doing well in studying, so he summoned us to the palace. The fourth elder brother was also there at that time. It must be that the fourth elder brother saw that we were doing well in studying, so we sent him there again.

After giving them the invitation, Si Age asked Si Fujin to come here."

He directly passed the decision-making power on the matter to Si Age, thus avoiding Si Fujin being questioned by the lady about "coming here because of Zhang Tinglu".

The Shaoqing's wife had some contacts with the Guo Luoluo family. When she saw Si Fujin quarrel with the Guo Luoluo family, she felt unhappy. She just took advantage of the opportunity to attack Si Fujin once, but was invisibly resolved by the third son of the Zhang family.

She smiled coquettishly, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and drank the tea.

Mrs. Zhang glanced sideways at her.

There is no need to interact with this kind of person again in the future. This time is the last time.

But Sifujin was a generous man, and he didn't say anything when he found out that the Shaoqing's wife was deliberately provocative.

Just now, when Si Fujin and Guo Luoluo faced each other, his momentum was not reduced at all, which shows that he is also a person who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.

Even so, Si Fujin didn't get angry on the spot after being told about it. After all, Si Fujin was thinking about the overall situation and didn't want to make her birthday party unpleasant.

Mrs. Zhang was grateful for Si Fujin's generosity and shook Si Fujin's hand: "What do you like to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it. If there's nothing that suits your taste, I'll have someone buy it!"

Luo Jianing smiled and said: "You are so polite. I like to eat all kinds of food. As long as the food is good, there is nothing I don't like."

Mrs. Zhang increasingly felt that Si Fujin had a good character.

She vaguely remembered that Sifujin loved desserts, but she couldn't remember which nobleman said it, so she ordered the kitchen: "Get more delicious desserts."

Zhang Tinglu saw her mother talking to Fujin, so she turned around and went to find her two brothers.

After a while, Zhang Tingzhan came.

He is much older than his brothers, and is now in his forties. He has a slim build, a slight beard, and his long gown has a somewhat fairy-like air.

Zhang Tingzhan greeted Sifu Jin and stood aside.

He was taciturn, and there was a big age difference between him and Si Fujin, so he really had nothing to say.

As for Zhang Tingzhan's wife, Mrs. Wu, she had been busy in the kitchen and could not get away.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu is responsible for organizing today's banquet. She has to make the final decision on all the dishes, large and small, and she really can't help but stand by her mother-in-law's side.

After a while, Zhang Tingyu also came to the house, but he did not come alone, and he also brought a sickly woman with him.

The woman was about the same age as Zhang Tingyu, both in her twenties and sixties. However, her body was too weak. She walked slowly and often had to stop to breathe.

Luo Jianing hurriedly stood up.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but get up from her position, and was supported by the maid to the door: "What's wrong? Why are you still here?" After saying that, she went forward and helped the woman with her son.

The woman's lips were pale, and she smiled reluctantly at Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, I heard that Sifu Jin is here, and I want to pay her a visit."

Mrs. Zhang was a little angry: "Sifujin is not that rigid and cold-tempered. She has always been generous. If you don't come to say hello, she won't think that our family has lost etiquette. Why do you bother to come here, just in case?

What should I do if I get even more seriously ill?"

Although his tone seemed angry, he was actually full of love and concern.

This woman is Zhang Tingyu’s wife Yao.

Yao has been very weak in the past two years.

Fortunately, the elders in the Zhang family are gentle and kind, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law are good people. Yao's health is not good, and the two elders not only don't make things difficult for her, but also let her rest more and don't let her worry about anything.

The couple had been married for many years and had no children, and her parents-in-law did not blame her at all. Instead, they told her to relax and not take this matter too seriously.

The better the elders are, the younger generation will naturally want to be nicer to the elders if they compare their feelings with their own.

Mrs. Yao heard that Sifu Jin was here. She was a popular person in the capital and the emperor's most beloved daughter-in-law.

She thought that firstly, she was going to greet Sifujin, and secondly, she was also wishing her mother-in-law a birthday, so she asked her husband to support her on this trip.

After listening to her mother-in-law's words of "blame", Mrs. Yao replied: "I am still sick even if I take this trip, and I will still be sick if I don't leave. Maybe it will get better if I do some exercise." As she spoke, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

.

Mrs. Zhang blamed her second son: "She is not in good health. You didn't let her rest, but instead helped her over. You...you are really inconsiderate!"

Zhang Tingyu is young and elegant, with a graceful manner. When he looks at his wife, his eyes are full of love.

He carefully gathered his wife's cloak and responded to his mother's reproach: "If she wants to walk around, let her walk around. We are all busy here, but she is lying alone in the room. That's fine."

Is it done?”

Although his tone was light, he was thinking about his wife.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

My son and daughter-in-law are both very good, but it is a pity that my daughter-in-law has a hard life and started to have health problems a few years ago. Otherwise, this young couple would be so harmonious.

Mrs. Zhang asked the maid to help the second grandma enter the house.

But Yao was still thinking about performing the courtesy in front of Si Fujin: "I haven't bowed to Fujin yet to say hello."

Zhang Tingyu looked at Si Fujin and said softly to his wife: "I will help you follow the etiquette. You can go into the house first."

After the maid took over her hand and helped Yao Shi carefully, Luo Jianing and Mrs. Zhang said, "You go and see the Second Grandma first, I'm not in a hurry."

Mrs. Zhang explained in a low voice: "That child is very affectionate. He knows that you and Brother Si are good friends, so he wanted to come to say hello." Then she apologized again: "She didn't know that her coming would actually cause more chaos than her coming.

It’s a joke for you.”

"It's not a joke." Luo Jianing said: "Your family has a good family tradition, and I feel comfortable looking at it." The Zhang family is really a good person from top to bottom.

Mrs. Zhang smiled apologetically.

Luo Jianing said: "You go and see Second Grandma first. I'll just walk in slowly."

Mrs. Zhang was also really worried about her child's health. After saying she was sorry, she quickly went into the house to see Mrs. Yao.

Zhang Tingyu stayed in the yard and respectfully greeted Si Fujin: "I've met Si Fujin." He then said, "Thank you so much, Fourth Brother, for helping me speak in front of the emperor. Thank you for your trouble, Fourth Brother and Fujin."

Luo Jianing said a few polite words to him, and then Zhang Tinglu hurried into the yard waving her sleeves.

Zhang Tinglu was walking in a hurry. When she raised her head and saw Zhang Tingyu, she stopped in her tracks and said, "I was still looking for my second brother everywhere, but he came by himself."

"I went to find your second sister-in-law who came with me." Zhang Tingyu said warmly.

Zhang Tinglu said "hmm" and then said "ah" in a high tone. She couldn't help but blame her second brother: "Second sister-in-law is not in good health. You are really——" After saying that, she waved her sleeves and sighed, and hurriedly walked towards the house.

Go inside.

Luo Jianing called him: "Go slowly, be careful of falling."

No wonder Luo Jianing reminded her like this, there was actually a flower branch on the road ahead, which might have fallen down just now. Everyone was busy taking care of Yao, but no one noticed this flower branch "blocking the road".
