Chapter 219: Forcing her to dance.
She went to the General for this purpose and spoke to him about the pros and cons. The General didn't know whether he had no intention of inviting guests or was persuaded by her, but in any case, it was fine.
However, Shen Biyun was very happy, she went to the front yard in a beautiful manner and found An Zhongtao: "Cousin, I didn't expect that you would host a birthday banquet for me, which really makes me favoured and very frightened, I don't know what virtues and abilities I have, but I am even more unable to repay ......"
After resting for a few days because of her kung fu practice, she had recovered her rosy complexion, and once she was dressed up again, she was even more beautiful than a flower.
An Zhongtao’s heart moved watching her, but only smiled: “This matter is taken care by your Biaosao. If you are gratitude, then thank her.”
“I wants to thank Biaosao and also wants to thank cousin too. But I don’t know how to thank cousin…”
“Why thanks, it’s own family brother and sister.” An Zhongtao smiled.
"Speaking of which, I thought of making some cakes and clothes for my cousin, but the General's residence doesn't lack these things, so I don't know how to express these feelings."
An Zhongtao just smiled. Before he could say anything, someone knocked on the door. Lian Jinrong came in with a tray in her hand: “Ms. Shen is also here. I happened to boil the lily clearheat soup for the General. Would you try it too?” Lian Jinrong had a smile on her face, she wouldn’t lose her manners in front of the General.
An Zhongtao likes to drink her soup. In fact, the woman in front of him is have more jealous heart, other than that there is nothing shortcomings.
Shen Biyun watched Lian Jinrong put down the tray naturally, put the soup in the bowl again, and then brought it to An Zhongtao. An Zhongtao took it, took a sip, and nodded: “Not bad.”
“I have watched the fire in personal, So it can’t be too tender.” Lian Jinrong expressed her merit.
Shen Biyun watched their interaction, and had sour water was in her heart. As soon as Lian Jinrong’s ban was lifted, she guarded her everywhere. In the past, she and her cousin would talk in the house several times, but they all were interrupted by this woman.
Moreover, she suspected that Lian Jinrong was also responsible for sabotaging of the practice.
She is now standing here hindering. But, she doesn’t want to be an audience watching them show their affection in public.
The day of Birthday.
The General Mansion is also decorated with red and green lanterns. Lian Jinyu specially invited a theater troupe, Kunyi, and a juggling. Just set up a stage on the empty field of Beiyuan. There were many people coming and going. And the old lady and the other females in family were inside the house. An Zhongtao arranged the family guards to stand in the way below, lest these actors walk around indiscriminately and rude to gongzi, xiaojie and furen.
The play was very lively. Shen Biyun sat there in a splendid manner, her eyes were not placed on the stage, but kept following An Zhongtao’s figure. Now she realized more and more that her cousin was simply perfect, and every move was imposing and majestic. This was a courtesy to everyone. Seeing the servant maid serving carefully, she felt envious. It was unlikely in the Tan family, Where she only had a maid and a pozi. Later, when her husband fell ill, Mother-in-law only added one manpower. But she has to take care of the children and her man again, almost making her breathless. But now in the General’s Mansion, even before she gets marries she can send mother(momo) to instruct the maid, which is many times more powerful than when she was in Tan’s house.
Her heart is all on the General’s body. The look in her eyes reveals her mind, which caught red-handed by An Qingran looking at her.
She took a sip of the red jujube soup, then looked at everyone, with a smile on her mouth. Now the General’s Mansion can be said to be have everything going one’s way and her father is naturally proud. So he has been busy with a smile on his face.
When Shen Biyun watched her cousin busy working for her, she felt proud of herself, deduced, how loving and lingering she didn’t know in her heart.
The old lady was also full of glory in this play. She finally caught the gap and looked at An Qingran and said: “Qingran, come and sit, why are you standing there…
An Qingran had to sit down and be more careful.
She sat up close, and the old lady took a closer look and found that although she was not very old, she was vaguely graceful. She couldn’t help feeling hatred in her heart. She said: “Last time I heard that at Miss Lou’s birthday banquet, you danced a song. You also performed a show at the Empress’s birthday banquet. Today I am still thinking whether you have prepared any show for your aunt. You see, people on this stage sing lively. It’s just an old drama and they can’t sing any new tricks…”
As soon as the old lady said this, everyone looked over here. And An Yanran and An Ranyue were also happy in their hearts. She didn’t know how An Qingran could refused this time. After all, dancing for the Empress or dancing in the General’s mansion is an honor. But here, it’s clear to treated as an actor. See how she refuses.
Lian Jinyu was also angry. How can Shen Biyun, a widow, let the General’s Di daughter dance for her?
Thinking of this, she approached: “Mother, although Qingran dances well, it’s just that she’s been in the palace these days and didn’t practice. I’m afraid it would be bit embarrassing to dance.”
“Really? Do you think she will be ashamed, or do you think her aunt’s status is not enough?” The old lady said, looking at Lian Jinyu’s expression with a serious expression.
The people at the scene stopped breathing and watched the good show in front of them. The people on the stage were singing hard, but they knew that no one listening to them.
Seeing that her grandmother started to embarrass her mother, An Qingran felt angry and couldn’t help but laughed:”Okay, when they finish singing, we, nephews and nieces will perform for the aunt…”
She wants to offer, sure she has to drag a group of cushions.
Seeing that she agreed, Lian Jinyu didn’t say anything anymore.
The old lady looked at her, “You’re a mother so protect it, but it can’t be too much.”
Lian Jinyu has sin expression on her face.
An Qingran was angry, but did not show her face, but smiled:”Grandmother, mother is also afraid that I will not be able to dance on the stage, which could be embarrassed.
“Really? People who have danced in the palace can’t get on the stage at home? Where is it?”
An Qingran became a little angry. Why didn’t this grandmother let her go, and the people who didn’t let her go, wouldn’t she look down on them?
Anyway, dance just dance, she wants to open it. What a big deal to show your face again.
But always feel uncomfortable in her heart, as if there is something wrong there.
At this moment, someone suddenly came up to inform Lian Jinyu: “Mistress, there is guest outside asking for a meeting.”
“Which guest?” Lian Jinyu thought that didn’t entertain anyone else today. Who is it?
“An old taitai claimed to be from Tan Mansion…”
The butler hadn’t finished speaking, and the others were indifferent. Shen Biyun’s body trembled. When stabilising her figure, she scraped the tea cup on the table to the ground with a crisp sound, and everyone looked at her.
