Three hundred and fortieth chapters start

The birthday banquet is separate for men and women.

For the male guests, the elders gathered at the front tables, while Mu Qiyue and his two brothers spread out in order to better fulfill their friendship as landlords.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the table where Mu Qiyue was sitting was actually filled with people who had accompanied him before and encouraged him to eat, drink and have fun, including Qi Er, who had lost to him.

Looking around, this table seemed to be filled with famous dandies in the capital. Everyone greeted him warmly. The attitude was almost closer than that of brothers.

God knows, since Mu Qiyue was kicked out of Prince Qing's Mansion, these people have stayed away from him, fearing that the down-and-out Mu Qiyue would reach out to them to borrow money and ask for help.

When people at the other tables saw Mu Qiyue getting together with a bunch of unlucky people, they all felt contempt in their hearts. It seemed that the country was easy to change, but the nature was hard to change. They thought that Mu Qiyue would be clean after he changed his ways.

, I didn’t expect it to be so lackluster.

Some elders, or visitors with daughters, secretly shook their heads and extinguished some thoughts in their hearts.

Of course, some people are disappointed, while others are satisfied. The initiators of this matter are secretly happy behind the scenes, and their goals are probably almost achieved.

After Mu Qichen and Mu Qicheng secretly exchanged glances, they greeted the guests present even more enthusiastically.

In addition to Mu Qiyue, some people have already noticed something wrong with it.

Du Bin came to celebrate his birthday as a member of the Du family, so he was naturally included in the banquet. Given his status, the people he naturally got to interact with were all the children of big families, and of course most of them were his senior students in the same college.

Everyone is familiar with each other, and it is much easier to talk. However, these people also have a problem, that is, they are self-sufficient and overly arrogant. They always think that they are superior and aloof.

"It's really puzzling how such clean-blooded people as Mr. Mu and Mr. Mu could have such unworthy brothers." A certain student pretended to be distressed and said in a pretentious manner.

"What Brother Sun said is absolutely true. A child of a noble family has fallen into a lowly career. Although he has done quite well, it seems that he is still with those who are not making progress. Brother Mu should give him a lesson."

Another student named Wu also shook his head and commented.

Others chimed in and the discussion was lively.

Du Bin didn't get involved, thinking that these people really didn't know how to live or die, and they dared to offend Mu Qiyue so blatantly. If they knew that Mu Qiyue would deal with those people just because others made rude remarks, they would really want to see what they would do.

Would you mock him so openly?

Du Bin also wondered why Mu Qiyue was sitting at the same table with a group of dandies. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. Until a senior student next to him sighed and said, "Master Mu is very unhappy."

Simple. Muyue Trading Company is involved in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If you know that a human being cannot live without these four aspects. It is really puzzling to do something like this and yet get mixed up with that group of people."

Du Bin was awakened by his words. He looked at Mu Qiyue's seemingly smiling face. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was smiling. Then he looked at Mu Da Mu'er's table.

Those people he entertained also had a clear understanding in his heart.

Du Bin shook his head and immediately lost his good impression of these two young masters from Prince Qing's Mansion. They actually did such a thing to his own brothers. Did they want to destroy the new image that Mu Qiyue had built with great difficulty?

Occasionally looking around, Du Bin saw Lu Mingtao, the chief executive of Mu Yue Trading Company and Mu Qiyue's most trusted and respected person, looking at the tables of Mu Da and Mu Er with a sneer. Only then did he understand that Mu Qiyue should have arrived earlier.

I saw through these tricks.

Their eyes met with Lu Mingtao's, and the two of them raised their glasses, with an unspoken meaning in their eyes.

And Du Bin was also disappointed with this birthday banquet. He heard that it was for Mu Qiyue's lifelong event, and Princess Qing was choosing a suitable person. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that there will be no good results.

On the other hand, on the female side, they are all people who maintain their own identity, so there is no noise from the male guests.

However, Princess Qing still greeted her target with a smile. And when she found out that someone was interested in her eldest son and second son, she was not angry, but after analyzing the respective advantages of these people, she began to have concerns.

After this change, Princess Qing became more active, toasting wine or introducing some dishes to these ladies from time to time.

There are also people around Princess Changmin who are fawning over her, but due to her majesty, they are not too attentive.

Princess Changmin watched Princess Qing's actions with cold eyes and had already given up hope on her. However, she still gave her the warning she needed. So when someone mentioned the pair of wishful bottles given by Princess Changmin during the dinner, Princess Changmin also smiled.

He responded, "Today is a great day for my sister-in-law, and Xiaosi's child is always filial to me. Thanks to my sister-in-law's good teaching, Xiaosi has long been attracted to this pair of Ruyi Bottles, so I took them out."

Listening to the words, all the ladies present immediately understood what it meant. Princess Qing's face froze involuntarily, but she immediately recovered, "How can I, my sister-in-law, not know about my sister's thoughts?"

It is not clear what Princess Qing was thinking when she came down the ladder.

So some people became visibly happy. After the meal, everyone knew roughly which girl Princess Qing was interested in. And if there was Princess Changmin, it seemed that marrying Mu Qiyue was really a good choice.

Princess Qing was secretly surprised when she saw that Princess Changmin favored Mu Qiyue so much. In fact, when she received the pair of wishful bottles, she had thought about sending them to her eldest son after a period of time when things calmed down.

Go. After all, he is the one who will inherit the palace in the future, so adding this will make him look more impressive.

Princess Changmin's sudden attack was unexpected by her, and she vaguely felt that this was Princess Changmin's warning to her. But looking at Princess Changmin's smiling face, she felt that she was being too worried.

I had no choice but to suppress my suspicions and discuss it with Prince Qing later.

There were no special entertainment activities, but setting up a stage to sing an opera was an indispensable thing. Although it was arranged after dinner, it was still considered an after-dinner entertainment, so everyone followed them to the stage.

It was a birthday, so of course some birthday jokes would be sung. After everyone seemed to be mesmerized by the song, Princess Qing said, "These children must be too bored to follow us, so why don't we let them play."

After hearing what Princess Qing said and seeing their mothers nodding with smiles, all the ladies who were not interested in the stage said goodbye and left.

If Lin Zhu comes, she will definitely find that there are many people she knows here, such as Qi Ziyun, and many official ladies she has met at Princess Changmin's garden party.

Of course there are Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan here, and all the ladies from the Lin family are also here. However, whether it is the Zhang and Wang family, the Lin family, and other families with similar family backgrounds, they are not the ones that Princess Qing prefers. They

I also know this, so I only treat it as a one-time outing.

"Cousin, do you think Fourth Young Master Mu can be selected this time?" Zhang Manyun always felt something was strange, but couldn't explain it for the moment.

"The matchmaker's words and the parents' orders, I guess Princess Qing has already planned it." Along the way, Wang Qingyan also saw a few official ladies with not outstanding backgrounds, smiling happily, and it was not difficult to tell from their tone that their

The family may have reached a consensus with Princess Qing, and there is a high hope that someone will become a member of Prince Qing's palace.

Although the two of them did not know the relationship between Mu Qiyue and Lin Zhu, they instinctively felt aggrieved for Mu Qiyue. They knew that he and Lin Zhu had always cooperated very well, and he was not as cynical as he seemed on the surface.

So I stood up for him.

"Why would you choose such a family?" The girl who walked in front of the two people was just a girl from a small family. The family was only a fourth or fifth grade official at most, and she didn't have much background in the capital. With Mu

The difference between the wives married by the eldest young master and the second young master Mu is so far apart that even the wife of the third young master, who is a concubine, is not as good as him.

Both of them could see the problem, and I believe Mu Qiyue could also see it. But after all, we were in Prince Qing's Mansion, and there were things that could be expected or unspeakable, so the two of them had to keep their mouths shut.

The two cousins ​​were walking in the garden when they suddenly noticed some voices coming from a room that looked like a temporary resting place. It seemed like there was some dispute. The two got closer. They heard some words that made them dumbfounded.

.

"You look like this. Instead of being a concubine for Young Master Mu, you might as well be the wife of Fourth Young Master Mu." A girl in purple said disdainfully.

"If you want to be the head wife, you go ahead and do it. Who doesn't know that the eldest son Mu will become the heir in the future, and the fourth son Mu has no hope at all." Another girl in yellow said snobbishly.

Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan suddenly heard such words. They felt it was too surprising, and the voice did not seem to be familiar to them. After hearing such explosive news, neither of them wanted to get involved. Just when they were about to leave, they heard another

The girl in yellow said, "Besides, it seems that Fourth Young Master Mu is not taken seriously in the palace. I heard that Mu Yue Trading Company will have to be handed over to Young Master Mu in the future. Only a fool would choose Fourth Young Master Mu!"

Hearing such words, Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan left there immediately without stopping. It would be serious to talk about the secrets of the palace in private and let others know about it.

The two of them hurriedly walked to a secluded place, both out of breath. They looked around and saw that no one was there, and calmed down their breathing with peace of mind.

"Cousin, do you think what those two people said is true?" Wang Qingyan said with some uncertainty. They are all brothers, how could they do this? The relationship between her brothers is very good.

"It's impossible to say." Zhang Manyun is not as optimistic as Wang Qingyan. Dr. Zhang used to treat Mu Qiyue and would always sigh when he came back. Zhang Manyun once heard his grandfather talking to himself, which meant that he sympathized with Mu Qiyue.

Qi Yue.
