Chapter 2235: Spring is not too late
When the day of Madam Fang's birthday arrived, everyone started to get busy early in the morning.
Shi Li was no exception. If she didn't go to congratulate the old man early today, she would definitely be accused of being unfilial.
She got up early, yawning, and changed into brightly colored clothes. She also picked out a few more pieces of jewelry and put on the hairpin that Mingchen had given her.
Even Qiu Zi couldn't help but say, "This hairpin looks really good on the girl!"
"I think it looks good too." Shi Li touched the bell under her hairpin. Living in the Fang family was so boring and suffocating. Only when she thought of Mingchen did she feel a little better.
After everything was packed, Shi Li went to congratulate Old Madam Fang.
She, Fang Yu and Zhao Qianyue arrived at the old lady's room one after the other, and everyone joined the birthday girl in saying auspicious words in a lively manner.
Old Madam Fang was naturally in a very good mood today. She was dressed gorgeously, with a large piece of icy jade inlaid in the middle of her headband, and the smile on her face never stopped.
Seeing the younger generations being so well-behaved in front of her, Old Madam Fang had a very satisfied expression on her face. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she took out three purses.
Two of them are almost exactly the same, both embroidered with a pattern of love wings and branches; although the pattern of the other one is different, the material and needlework are also extremely exquisite and expensive.
"Girl Yue, you come and pick one first." This time, unexpectedly, it was Old Madam Fang who asked Zhao Qianyue to come and choose first.
Miss Zhao, who is always dignified in public, naturally could not destroy her own image, so she waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.
"Although I can't compare to everyone else, I am a few years older than you. So let my cousin and sister Li choose first!" Zhao Qianyue's smile was as warm as spring breeze, as if she didn't mind at all.
Old Madam Fang also enjoyed it very much and patted her shoulder with satisfaction.
Then he looked at Fang Yu and Shi Li, "In that case, why don't you two thank Yue Er!"
Shi Li, who was arranged throughout the process: …
[I'm really fed up with these people's pretentiousness = =]
[It’s really boring. I miss Mingchen. When can I leave the Fang family? I’ve had enough! ]
[Forget it, it’s just a purse, at worst I can just take it back and throw it aside~]
Shi Li thought the same thing. After thanking Zhao Qianyue, she naturally wanted to take the different purse. But then she thought again, it seemed that it was too obvious to avoid suspicion.
Fang Yu didn't give her a chance to think any further. She directly grabbed two purses that were tied together and stuffed one into her hand. "Sister Li! This one looks great. Take it!"
Shi Li passively took the purse, and then heard Madam Fang say, "Today, you should all wear the purses, so that the guests can see our Fang family's children!"
The wallet in my hand feels like a hot potato.
Shi Li forced a smile and obediently hung the purse on her body, hoping that Mingchen would see it and not be too jealous.
Or, wait for her to find another chance to explain to him.
Fang Yu did the same and tied the purse around her body.
Zhao Qianyue waited until they all put on their purses before she took the last lonely purse and bowed to the old lady with a smile, "Then I would like to thank the old lady for her kindness."
She also put on the purse.
The birthday banquet will be officially held in the evening, and many guests will come to celebrate Mrs. Fang’s birthday.
Old Madam Fang talked to the younger generations for a while, then asked them to leave on the grounds that she was tired.
After the three people walked out of the house one after another, Mrs. Fang turned her head and asked the maid beside her, "Have you arranged everything for today?"
"Don't worry, madam, everything has been arranged. There will be no mistakes." The maid replied with her head down.
The Fang Mansion is busier today than any other day.
But behind this bustle, everyone hides their own little thoughts.
Shi Li returned to her room, stared at the purse she was wearing for a long time, then bent over to take it off and played with it in her hand.
It was still early, and even if she listened to the old lady and wore the purse, no one could control her in her own room.
Just when I was wondering whether this purse had any purpose, Qiu Zi walked in from outside.
"Miss, all the people that Miss Zhao arranged to be around Old Madam Fang have been used today." Qiu Zi closed the door and turned around to say.
Shi Li was not too surprised by this result, but still couldn't help but say: "She is really willing to risk her life."
Anyway, as long as it doesn't harm her, she won't care what Zhao Qianyue does.
Just after noon, guests coming to celebrate the birthday began to arrive one after another.
Among them, Mrs. Ming also came in person, and of course she did not come alone, so it was natural for her to bring Ming Chen with her.
When he arrived at the Fang family and met Old Madam Fang, he said openly, "I haven't seen Li'er for a long time."
"Go get someone to call Li'er over. I'm tired now, so let her come and talk to the guest for me."
Old Madam Fang was surprisingly easy to talk to today. She immediately asked someone to call Shi Li over, and she tactfully found an excuse to leave.
