"The birthday banquet is almost ready. Father only needs you to appear obediently.”The more Li Shengqing looked at his daughter, the more he liked her, and the more sour he felt in his heart."Mu Lan, I hope you can continue to walk happily. No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, they will not be a problem for my dear daughter!”
Li Mulan patted his chest and said,""Father, don't worry. Who is your daughter? The Young Lady Li of the Marquis's Estate is capable of both literature and martial arts. It's not that I'm boasting, but if there were four or five men standing in front of me right now, I might not lose.”
"You're bragging again, aren't you?" "I don't believe you, Dad!" Li Shengqing said.”
"Who's bragging!" " Yes," Li Mulan refused." Every time I sneak out and cause trouble, I come back. But when have you ever seen me come back with injuries?"”"Hehe, isn't it amazing?" she asked.”
"You're too amazing!”Li Shengqing tapped his daughter's forehead.""Have you not caused enough trouble since you were young? Not to mention those in the residence, the number of people outside the residence could not be counted with ten fingers!”
Li Mulan stuck out his tongue and said," Daddy loves his daughter the most. He hates iron for not being useful."”
"But this is good. At least I won't worry about you being bullied by your in-laws.”"Oh right, Mu Lan, tell me the truth. What do you think of your husband?" Li Shengqing said with a smile.”
"About that." Li Mulan clicked his tongue, held his chin, and thought for a while. Then, he said,""Daughter has already said that if I really want to get married, other than my husband liking me alone, he must be both civil and martial. He must obey me in everything, but he must be a level higher than me.”
"Is there anyone you like among those nobles?”Li Shengqing asked.
Li Mulan touched his cheek and said,""I don't know, so don't ask anymore.”"Alright, Dad, let's talk about something else.”
"Alright." Li Shengqing was happy to enjoy the temporary warmth of a father and daughter, but he was afraid that he would not be able to enjoy it in the future.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Lord Marquis 'birthday. On this day, the residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers, drums and music were played, and there was an endless stream of people congratulating them.
In the boudoir, Li Mulan was still sleeping soundly. The noise could not disturb her sweet dreams. Su Xin started to get anxious, thinking that it was time for the young miss to change her clothes. She stood by the bed and said,"Miss, Miss, it's getting late. It's time for you to get up.”
"Aiya, Su Xin, let me sleep a little longer. I was dreaming of beating someone to the ground.”Li Mulan didn't open his eyes and said vaguely,""Father's birthday banquet is still early."
"Miss, please get up quickly. If you don't get up soon, Master will be angry. Today is the old master's birthday and also a good day for you to choose a husband. Don't oversleep.”
Li Mulan's sweet dreams disappeared at the thought of choosing a husband. She rubbed her eyes and sat up."What's the hurry? I can't count on anyone.”
"Don't say that. This servant went to take a look. There were a lot of people. A few of them were indeed not bad. At a glance, they were handsome and rich young masters.”
"Would I be tempted?" Li Mulan instantly regained his usual spirit.""It's not like I, Li Mulan, have never seen a man before. I'm not someone whose legs will go weak when I see a man.”
"Hehe." Su Xin smiled and said,"Miss, you have to dress up well and shock them all!"”
"Of course. Today is Father's birthday, so I can't dampen his spirits. Those who came are all people from the officialdom, so I can't lose my manners.”Li Mulan stood up and said,"Men, change!"”
"Yes." Two servant girls walked in and began to change the young lady into a colorful brocade dress. After that, Mu Lan's braids were combed by Su Xin and coiled up on her head. She specially put on all kinds of jewelry, instantly turning from a beautiful girl into a noble girl of Hua Li.
Li Mulan had done the makeup herself, which made her look even more energetic. When she turned around, the three servant girls were all stunned.
"Miss, you're so beautiful!" Su Xin swallowed her saliva,"Our son-in-law is really blessed!"”
The other two maids covered their mouths and laughed.
"Don't laugh, don't laugh. Su Xin, you're really asking for a beating. What son-in-law? I don't like to hear it. Hurry up, let's go to the reception hall to find daddy.”
"Old Master is busy. Why don't we go to the side hall and wait first?”Su Xin said,"There are a lot of gifts there, there should be some for you."”
"Sounds good. Come, let's go take a look.”Li Mulan lifted her skirt and almost tripped after taking a few steps. When she finally steadied herself, she saw the girls behind her laughing and said,""What are you laughing at? I'll marry you off sooner or later!”
On the round table in the side hall, there were indeed many congratulatory gifts, large and small boxes piled up to the point where there was no place to put them. Li Mulan took this and looked at that. Suddenly, she was attracted by a gift box."Eh, I think I've seen this box somewhere before.”
Su Xin listened and didn't think much of it,"This kind of box is everywhere, it's not rare."”
Li Mulan picked up the box and opened it. There was a green bracelet inside. He exclaimed,""Aiya, why is it here?!”
Su Xin looked at it and said,"Miss, why are you making such a fuss? Is this bracelet very expensive?"”
"Someone spent fifty taels to buy something that costs five thousand taels.”Li Mulan was conflicted." But why is this bracelet in the Marquis's manor?"”
Su Xin laughed and said,"Haha, Young Lady is so muddle-headed. These are all Old Master's congratulatory gifts. Naturally, they were sent by the person who gave them."”She saw a pair of bracelets and immediately said,"Miss, look, if this bracelet is worn on your wrist, it will definitely be incomparably gorgeous.”
Li Mulan ignored her. He was only thinking about the origin of the owner of the bracelet.
Among the guests, Long Junhao and Dade occupied a seat.
"I didn't expect that so many people would come to Lord Marquis 'birthday banquet.”"If it wasn't for Grandfather's unwell body, I wouldn't have bothered to congratulate him."”
"Young Master, I heard from the people beside me that the reason why so many people have come today is that they are all honored guests invited by the Marquis.”Dade whispered in his master's ear,"On the surface, it's to congratulate you on your birthday, but secretly, it's to choose a husband for your daughter."”
Long Junhao couldn't help but find it funny.”
"Maybe." "You see, the people here don't look happy at all. I'm afraid this young lady is too ugly to be seen."”
Long Jun Hao couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the Marquis greeting the guests, he went up,""This junior has come to congratulate the Marquis on his birthday!”
"And you are?" Li Shengqing looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he had an imposing appearance and a noble aura. He said,"Oh, if there's any disrespect, please forgive me!”
Long Junhao smiled and said," I am the grandson of General Meng Guangyi. My grandfather suddenly felt unwell, so I came to congratulate him on his birthday and convey my respect." May the Marquis have this day every year!”
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Thank you very much. I'm happy today, so I must drink a few more cups. Hahaha!" Li Shengqing felt that this young man was really not bad, but he did not want to be too abrupt, so he held back and did not ask.
"Lord Marquis really has many relatives and friends. It seems that your relationship with others is extremely good.”Long Jun Hao complimented him and couldn't think of anything else to say.
"No, no, it's all because of everyone's respect.”"Oh, excuse me, I have another guest." Li Shengqing said.”He wanted to leave.
"Lord Marquis, please!" Long Jun Hao dodged to the side and looked at him as he said to Da De,""This marquis's glabella is black, so I don't think it's anything good. We have to be alert and leave after drinking the birthday wine.”
"Alright, I'll listen to you." The Great Virtue glanced at the flowers blooming not far away and said,""Young Master, the scenery here is not bad. There are many people here. Why don't you walk around?”
"Alright. I don't want to join in the fun!" Long Jun Hao said and left, leaving the noisy crowd with Da De. Firstly, he didn't have much of an impression of this Marquis. Secondly, he did not want to make do with the other party's son-in-law recruitment.
In the garden, the scenery was pretty good. Long Junhao felt like he had returned home. He was stunned for a moment before a female voice suddenly sounded from behind him."Who are you?"
Long Jun Hao turned around and saw that it was a young girl. Her makeup was appropriate, and she had a noble aura. Especially her eyes, they were filled with endless vitality.
"Master, she, she seems to be?"”
"Long Junhao, it really is you!" "Tell me, why did you come to the Marquis's Manor?" Li Mulan's eyes widened. What do you want to do?"
Long Junhao didn't answer immediately, but looked at Li Mulan up and down. He suddenly reached out and covered her mouth, then said,""As expected! You're really a big liar!"
The Virtuous Virtuous Monk still did not understand the situation and asked,""Young Master, what did you say?"
"Dade, do you still remember Li Changrong? There was also the young master who had taken the opportunity to escape and the young master's sister. These three people did not exist because they were all disguised by this woman in front of him!”Long Jun Hao's expression was complicated. Miss Li."
Li Mulan didn't back down and bravely met his eyes.""Alright, you're not too stupid." She didn't feel embarrassed that he had seen through her identity. Instead, she felt a rare sense of relief. Even she herself was surprised. This feeling was very strange.
"You really are a woman!" Long Jun Hao originally wanted to lose his temper, but he endured it and said,""Forget it. A good man does not fight with a woman. For the sake of Lord Marquis, I forgive you.”
"I haven't forgiven you yet!" Li Mulan said in a fit of pique. Then, he spread out his right hand and said,"Where's my purse? Hurry up and return it to me!"
"Is that purse really yours?" Long Junhao looked at her slender fingers,""The embroidery is not bad!"
Li Mulan chuckled and said," You're praising the wrong person. This purse was embroidered by my maidservant, Su Xin. I won't lie."”She saw Su Xin's eyes staring straight at her and complained,"Suxin, haven't you seen a man before?"
