Chapter 265 The birthday comes
Chapter 265 Birthday is coming, come and wish me a birthday
The next day was the birthday of the old lady of the Hou Mansion.
In recent years, the Zhenbei Houfu has been keeping a low profile.
The house has never even held a full-moon banquet, but this time it was not easy for me to celebrate my birthday.
Invite guests widely, and people in the capital who receive the post will naturally come to celebrate.
Early in the morning, the Hou Mansion was crowded with people giving gifts.
Those who came early were naturally those with low status.
First arrange to listen to a play in the outer courtyard to pass the time.
Lin Zhaozhao got up early and put on makeup.
Looking at the person in the bronze mirror, she was a little afraid to recognize him.
Sure enough, people rely on clothing as much as they rely on gold.
With her current appearance, who would dare to say that she is not the real daughter of the Hou family?
The maid was about to bring her a hairpin, but she shook her head.
"If you don't bring this, just bring the mask I brought back yesterday."
The maid opened her mouth to say something, but saw Lin Zhaozhao looking threatening.
"Hurry up, you're wasting time, let's see if I don't skin you."
The maid didn't dare to speak anymore and quickly brought Lin Zhaozhao's face.
Lin Zhaozhao looked in the mirror with great satisfaction, raised his head and went out.
Zhou Yixiu was waiting in the lobby and saw her coming.
Looking at her head and face, he frowned.
Just as I was about to say something, someone already came through the door.
She could only hold back and take Lin Zhaozhao to greet people.
After a lot of fuss, it was almost noon.
The guests had almost arrived, but the old lady never showed up without saying a word.
Even the Marquis didn't show up.
This is really puzzling, but it’s hard to ask questions face to face.
After all, Zhou Yixiu was someone who had seen big scenes, so she immediately smiled.
"The Marquis has not returned home for a long time and has endless things to say with his mother.
Let everyone have fun outside now, and he will come out later."
After everyone heard this explanation, they didn't think much about it.
Zhou Yixiu naturally would not let Lin Yuan be absent while no one was paying attention.
I quietly went to the back mountain, wanting to invite Lin Yuan down to say hello.
After Zhou Yixiu left, Lin Zhaozhao became the focus of everyone.
Girls of lower status than her used poles to fawn over her.
After complimenting her clothes and makeup, he also complimented her appearance.
No matter how much you praise her appearance, you always say it in a nice way.
A lady with a higher status than her naturally disdained to come forward and looked at her with sarcasm in her eyes.
"Did you see that? How dare you show off just that mask?"
"Be considerate of her. After being raised in the village for sixteen years, what kind of world can she see?"
"Who can't see today that Mrs. Hou Mansion used the old lady's excuse to save her face?
It's good for her, she shook herself to the core as soon as she came."
Lin Zhaozhao seemed to realize something and looked up.
Just as he was about to step forward to ask questions, he was stopped by Li Mingchang.
"Sister Zhaozhao, why don't you see Madam?
I have something I want to tell my wife..."
Several young ladies who had previously complimented Lin Zhaozhao immediately blushed when they saw Li Mingchang.
For their status, it would not be bad if they could join the Hou Mansion.
Lin Zhaozhao finally felt a little more relaxed in their envious eyes.
"Mom has gone to the backyard. You go to the garden first and wait."
Li Mingchang stopped Lin Zhaozhao and invited her to come with him with a smile.
"Sister Zhaozhao, you are the protagonist today.
Clothes, makeup, hair, and face cannot be worn all the time.
You have to change into a few sets."
He gave him that set of yellow jade headbands just to make Lin Zhaozhao happy.
Who would have thought that Lin Zhaozhao would be brought out on such an important occasion?
Who are all the people here today? Who can’t see how cheap this guy’s face is?
Fortunately, Mrs. Houfu was not here, so he coaxed Lin Zhaozhao to change first.
Lin Zhaozhao didn't understand the meaning of Li Mingchang's words and raised his head proudly.
"No need to change, I think my outfit looks pretty good.
Everyone looked at me just now and obviously thought I was very good-looking."
Li Mingchang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head and he wanted to give some advice.
I heard the concierge outside shout loudly.
"Miss Su is here!"
Hearing these words, Lin Zhaozhao was like a peacock who kept getting excited.
"She's finally here. Someone come and bring the people from the woodshed out."
After saying that, she ignored Li Mingchang and walked straight out.
At this time, the concierge had already brought Su Jinxiu to the lobby.
As Su Jinxiu entered the door, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Some are amazing, some are exploring, and some are puzzled.
Su Jinxiu didn't notice it at all and walked forward without squinting.
Standing a few steps away from Lin Zhaozhao, he looked directly into her eyes.
"I'm here, where are my mother and An An?"
Lin Zhaozhao thought he was a dazzling jewel today, but he stood in front of Su Jinxiu.
Only then did she discover what true dazzling means.
Su Jinxiu was wearing a light red dress, like a blooming red plum, neither humble nor arrogant.
The back is straight and the waist is round and round.
Once you stop there, you can steal everyone's attention.
Before she could speak, Li Mingchang, who had followed her, exclaimed.
"Su, Miss Su?
Is she the original Lin Jinxiu?"
The incident of the Hou Mansion having the wrong child was the source of inspiration for the capital's picture book for a long time.
Not to mention Li Mingchang, who was already on good terms with the Hou family. When he heard the surname was Su, he knew who it was.
However, he never expected it.
The beauty that haunts him is actually that one.
Lin Jinxiu was the one who once made him extremely bored.
If he had known that Lin Jinxiu was like this, he would have risked his life to marry her back!
Now, Li Mingchang has more than regrets on his face.
When Lin Zhaozhao saw Li Mingchang's appearance, he didn't know what he was thinking.
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and clenched his fists.
She called Su Jinxiu here because she wanted to embarrass Su Jinxiu.
Somehow, it became an embarrassment for herself.
People around were looking at Su Jinxiu and talking about it one after another.
"At first, Mrs. Hou Mansion kept her in hiding, saying that her daughter was too ugly to see anyone.
But looking like this, doesn’t it really have anything to do with being ugly?”
“It’s really hard to compare people to death, and you have to throw things away when comparing goods.
I don’t know how Madam Hou Mansion confirmed that the last person is her biological child."
"Could it be that there is some misunderstanding?"
Listening to the unabashed voice, Lin Zhaozhao's face turned red.
"you……"
Fortunately, Zhou Yixiu rushed over in time.
He grabbed Lin Zhaozhao and motioned her to sit down first.
"Zhaozhao, you have good intentions and invite Su Jinxiu to come and celebrate your grandmother's birthday.
But she was so late and came to the door empty-handed.
If your grandmother knew, what would she think?"
With two simple sentences, Su Jinxiu was pushed into the realm of unfilial piety.
Lin Zhaozhao came to his senses and looked aggrieved.
"Mother, it's not my fault.
I only asked Jinxiu to come and congratulate my grandmother on her birthday, but I forgot to prepare a gift for her grandmother.
If grandma asks, only Zhao Zhao will bear the blame."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Zhaozhao.
"After all, she is a girl from the Marquis Mansion, she has different thoughts and ideas."
"That's right, what's the use of just dressing up to look good?
I came to celebrate my birthday, but I didn’t bring anything.
You deliberately picked this moment, didn’t you just want to attract people’s attention?”
"You still don't understand? This is the time when the wealthy family of the Hou family can no longer live.
I want to choose a good husband and continue to live a prosperous life."
