Chapter 2125 Feast at Aunt Hong's House
Shu Yu glanced at Xiao Song Le, who kept peeking towards the door, and simply said to Xia Yan, "We're going to the Hong family first. Tell A-Yun when he comes back."
Xia Yan immediately agreed.
Shu Yu picked up her things and then took Xiao Songle into the carriage.
The Hong family's house was only three streets away, not too far. The carriage stopped at the alley entrance in just fifteen minutes.
To Shu Yu's surprise, the Hong family seemed to be quite lively today.
The main gate of the Hong family's house was open, and you could see inside from the gate—there seemed to be four tables in the courtyard, with many bowls and plates on them.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, so although there were quite a few people sitting around the table, most of them were just chatting.
Shu Yu and Ying Xi exchanged a glance. "It looks to me like they're having a banquet. Is there some kind of happy occasion at the Hong family's house?"
In this situation, it doesn't seem appropriate to come and see Aunt Hong.
Just as Shu Yu was considering whether to come another day, someone in the courtyard had already spotted them.
Shu Yu was already strikingly beautiful, and in such a narrow alley, carrying her things and dressed smartly, she naturally attracted even more attention.
Madam Yu hurried out and, seeing Shu Yu, quickly asked with a smile, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
Madam Yu was Aunt Hong's eldest daughter-in-law. She no longer recognized Shu Yu, since they had only glanced at each other briefly and hadn't even exchanged a few words. She just felt that Shu Yu looked somewhat familiar, but she wasn't quite sure if she recognized her.
Now that everyone has come out, it's naturally difficult for Shu Yu to leave.
She nodded and asked, "I'm looking for Aunt Hong. Is she home?"
"Yes, yes, my mother is at home. Do you know my mother, young lady? Did you come here especially to celebrate her birthday?"
Yu's eyes lit up slightly as she looked at the things Shu Yu and Ying Xi were carrying, and she stepped aside to let them in.
Shu Yu was taken aback. A birthday greeting?
Is today Aunt Hong's birthday? No wonder it's so lively. In that case, their arrival was quite timely.
Shu Yu led Xiao Song Le into the house amidst the curious and surprised gazes of everyone in the courtyard.
Yu's youngest son had already run quickly into Aunt Hong's room, excitedly shouting, "Grandma, someone is looking for you outside. It's a young lady who looks like she comes from a wealthy family."
Besides Aunt Hong, there were several other people of similar age in the room. They were talking when they heard this and were all surprised.
Even Aunt Hong herself was stunned, "A rich family's young lady?"
"Yes, they were carrying big bags and small packages, saying they came to wish you a happy birthday."
Everyone else immediately congratulated Aunt Hong, but Aunt Hong frowned. She was quite certain that she did not know any rich young lady and that the other party had really come to celebrate her birthday.
That's what he thought, but he had already stood up and hurriedly walked outside.
Just as they reached the main room, Madam Yu had already brought Shu Yu and the other two inside.
The two met in the main room. Madam Yu smiled and said, "Mother, this young lady has come to celebrate your birthday. You know, when did you meet such a well-bred young lady without telling us? We were completely unprepared. What if we didn't entertain her properly?"
Aunt Hong glanced at her, then looked up at Shu Yu.
At first she was a little confused, but gradually her expression grew more and more surprised, and finally she even became a little excited, "You, you are Miss Lu?!"
"Aunt Hong, do you still remember me?"
Yes, of course I remember. Over the years, I've only ever seen one girl with such a good temperament and looks as Miss Lu.
