Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly
Chapter 304: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Dominant Novel (27)
Mrs. Lu thanked Old Lady Pei with a smile, and then sat down beside him obediently. Old Lady Pei took his hand, looked him up and down carefully, and then said angrily, "Junior Yun is also confused. You are pregnant now, how can I let you follow me around to work? There are so many people here today, what if you bump into someone?"
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and smiled shyly, then shook her head at Old Lady Pei and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandfather. I'm still young this month, so it's okay."
"It's because the baby is still young that you should pay more attention to it. You and Sister Yun have waited so long to have this child. If the baby gets hurt because of an old man like me celebrating his birthday, I'm afraid I won't be able to see your grandmother. She has always loved Sister Yun the most..."
"The old lady has thrown us old guys aside now that she has the little Marquis Changqing. Otherwise, why would she not even give us a sip of tea after being in the house for half a day?"
Seeing that Old Madam Pei was about to continue nagging, Lu Yujie glanced at Mrs. Lu who was gradually lowering her head, and suddenly chuckled and spoke to come to the rescue.
Hearing Lu Yujie's voice, Old Lady Pei finally stopped her chattering, squinted her eyes and looked up at the source of the voice. When she saw the face of the person who spoke, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I was wondering who was so shameless, it turns out to be you, you naughty monkey."
"I thought the old lady only had eyes for the unborn little Marquis Changqing, but it turns out she still remembers a useless person like me." Lu Yujie led Changsun Yan forward, bowed and said with a smile, "I, a naughty monkey, have brought my little monkey to pay my respects to the old lady."
Hearing what he said, Old Madam Pei was immediately delighted. All Lu Yujie talked about was the little Marquis of Changqing. Wasn't he saying that Lu's baby must be a girl? How could he not be happy after hearing that?
"Okay, okay, why don't you serve tea to our minister's husband, or he will accuse me of being negligent." Old Madam Pei hurriedly ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks with a smile on her face. The husband of Marquis Changqing, who was originally sitting in the first seat below him, also stood up with a smile and gave his seat to Lu Yujie and the others.
Lu Yujie smiled and pushed the husband of Marquis Changqing back to his seat, and nodded to the wives of officials who stood up to greet him. Finally, he led Changsun Yan to sit on the chair below the husband of Marquis Changqing.
When a group of young men get together, they can't help but talk about family gossip and anecdotes. One moment they talk about the young man from the Zhang family getting married, the next moment they talk about the old man from the Wang family having a grandson. As they chat, the topic turns to clothes and jewelry.
One said that the golden hairpin on the Zhou family man's head was dazzling and gorgeous, while the other said that the jade bracelet on the Wu family man's wrist was crystal clear and not an ordinary item.
"In my opinion, Mr. Changsun looks very good in his clothes today. Look at his pure and innocent appearance. He even outshines us common people in red and green." As everyone was chatting, a man in a blush red gown suddenly pulled up his handkerchief, covered his lips and smiled.
Today is the old lady's birthday, and in order to please them, most of the husbands and ladies dressed up brightly and gorgeously, looking rich and powerful. There was also the example of Lu Yujie, whose looks and temperament were even more eye-catching, so Changsun Yan, who was dressed in goose yellow, did not attract much attention at first.
But now, after being reminded by the flushed husband, all the husbands who were secretly competing with each other turned their eyes to Changsun Yan who was sitting next to Lu Yujie.
He was wearing a goose yellow spring shirt. I don't know what kind of fabric the shirt was made of. It looked like smoke and clouds, enveloping him. His skin looked white as snow and his hair looked like dark clouds. He was indeed handsome and extraordinary.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your compliment. I am unworthy of it." Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Changsun Yan lowered his head slightly and said in a calm tone.
"That's not a compliment. Look at the fabric and style of your clothes. They are not the popular styles in Beijing recently. They are so unique and I think you must have put a lot of thought into them." After hearing this, Mr. Zhang gently raised the handkerchief in his hand and smiled meaningfully.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room looked different. The men who could appear in the Marquis's mansion were naturally the wives of officials in the court. Therefore, they had all heard the rumors that the Changsun family and the Zhang family had always been at odds with each other. Naturally, they also heard the hidden meaning in the words of the Zhang family's husband.
When the old lady celebrates her birthday, everyone wears red and green, and dresses up in rich and gorgeous manner, and is in a festive mood. But you want to be unique and wear a color that is not dull, but not festive either. You also specially choose a unique fabric and style. Don't you want to be a crane that stands out from the crowd?
However, although the husband of the Zhang family intended to stir up trouble, everyone was not stupid. Not to mention that this young master Zhang Sun was of noble birth and had a mother who was an old minister, he was also successively married to the royal family and the now very popular Lord Lin, the chief of the Ministry of Justice.
As far as his clothes are concerned, there is really nothing wrong with them. In a formal occasion like this, every man would spend time and effort on dressing up, not seeking to stand out from the crowd, but to not lag behind others. Even if his clothes are a little unconventional, as long as they are not out of line, it is harmless.
What's more, among the young men from the official families in the capital, Mr. Zhang is known as the "leader". If he wants to stand out and be the best among the crowd, he can just dress up and make a splash. Why does he have to dress so inconspicuously? Mr. Zhang's words with a hint of meaning are nothing but nitpicking and looking for trouble.
Therefore, after figuring out the key, the husbands in the room tacitly chose to remain silent and wait and see what would happen.
Seeing that it was the Zhang family husband whom he hated who came out to cause trouble again, Chang Sun Yan's father Lu Yujie could no longer sit still before he even opened his mouth. He slightly curled the corners of his lips, looked at Old Lady Pei sitting on the main seat and smiled.
"It's the old lady's 70th birthday, and we, as the younger generation, naturally want to dress up to entertain her and make her smile. From head to toe, our outfits are all original and painstaking, just hoping that the old lady will be pleased..."
At this point, he suddenly paused, then turned his gaze to the Zhang family husband sitting opposite him, scanned him up and down, and changed the subject: "He is not like the Zhang family husband. He is a nostalgic person. He can't bear to change his clothes and jewelry after using them for a long time. Even if we meet him at a banquet another day and can't see his face clearly from a distance, as long as we see his clothes and jewelry, we will know that he is definitely the Zhang family husband."
