Entering August, the weather is getting cooler, Shu Yierha's family began to get busy, August 13 is the old lady's fifty-fourth birthday, according to the algorithm of one year old, that is, fifty-five years old, the old lady is fifty years old The old lady is not in good health, there is no big birthday to do, just a family has a meal, this time the Erdeke brothers have said to show filial piety, will be a big one.

The old lady didn't want to be too extravagant, but her stepson brought it up, if she didn't allow it, it would be a little unkind, no matter how face-saving she and Erdek were, they couldn't leave a handle for outsiders to say, they always had to properly express their harmony, and thought that only the whole life would be like this, so I went with them.

Shu Yierha was still a little worried, the scale of the old lady's birthday must be larger than the scale of the full moon wine of the younger brother, how many guests are going to come to the house, she just has a headache when she thinks about it, but after asking Xilin Jue Luo, she is completely relieved, since it is Erdeke Zhang Luo, the banquet and other things are naturally placed in the old mansion, and even the old lady has returned to the old mansion two days in advance to live, Erhe and Xilin Jue Luo naturally have to help entertain the guests, Jing Gule brothers also have to follow the cousins to meet the guests, and the little girls are entertained by the cousins, and the nieces can also help to help, Shu Yierha has no errands, and has become an idler。

Shu Yierha couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of a large number of people, but let her live in the big family all day long, she was also very unhappy, not to mention anything else, she Ama has five brothers, three out of two, and the eldest is not a mother, where can I really be a brother and a brother, I heard that when the grandfather was originally married, the biological mother of the fourth uncle was favored and gave the grandfather the original match, at that time the eldest uncle had already remembered, so he and the fourth uncle have always had a dislike, and the second uncle and the third uncle are the same age, the two have not dealt with each other since childhood, only she Amma, because the age difference with the brothers is relatively large, so there are fewer contradictions, but the feelings of several people are not very deep, after the separation, there are not many contacts.

The older generation is better, after all, there are few people, and Shu Yierha's generation, dozens of cousins and sisters, as well as nephews and nieces of the younger generation, if everyone lives together, the picture is too beautiful Shu Yierha dare not look at it.

Every time I think of these, Shu Yierha admires his deceased grandfather very much, he is so wise that the old man is so wise, knowing that he is gone, these brothers will definitely have trouble living together, so they simply divide the family neatly, do not live under one roof, there will naturally be fewer contradictions, and the brothers can still help each other when they have something, so as not to completely ruin the relationship.

The old lady is too old, and the people who make good friends have to come to congratulate her on her birthday, Erhe's official position is small, and the good ones are almost the same as his official position, but Erdeke is different, he was promoted to the third grade at the beginning of the year, and he also has some real power in his hands, so he naturally knows a lot of high-powered people, and knows that his family members have a birthday, and those who are close to him have come in person, and those who have a general relationship also arrange for people to give gifts.

The Ma Qi brothers have arrived for the sake of the same surname Fucha, Mrs. Ma Qi entered the inner house, she brought a little girl who is about the same age as Shu Yierha, Shu Yierha guessed that this one is probably the future of the Twelve Fujin, but no matter what happens in the future, now she is not much different from the little girl Shu Yierha usually sees, the little girl's name is Xinyan, Shu Yierha can talk to her for a few words, but only a few words, Xinyan, as Ma Qi's daughter-in-law, is the guest that the cousins focus on, and the cousins specially let the nieces accompany them, Shu Yierha is not that interested in being in the limelight, so she didn't pay much attention to it。

Because of the old lady's birthday, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not good, Erhe and Xilin Jue Luo are tired enough, but they are not tired in vain, others give the old lady a birthday gift is not light, Erdeke is rich, he did not keep all the gifts he sent, all filial piety to the old lady, this is nothing polite, the old lady naturally brought it all back, picked a few Erhe and Xilin Jue Luo can use to reward them, Shu Yierha brothers and sisters are not empty-handed, Jing Gule got a coral ornament, Jing Guji got a red sandalwood kang screen, to Shu Yierha the most, a pot of red jade plum blossom bonsai, two pairs of mutton fat jade bracelets, a set of white jade jewelry, a set of emerald inlaid gemstone jewelry, and a box of pink pearls with good texture, because the value is too high, Shu Yierha is still a little afraid to accept it, Xilin Jue Luo nodded before she accepted it.

Shu Yierha is now like a little money fan, one of her hobbies is to count her belongings, at night when the courtyard door is closed, the little girls are guarding outside, she takes Mama Li and the green vine, Zijuan to count her private room, not to mention, Shu Yierha has received a lot of things in recent years, there are more than a dozen antique ornaments, there are four sets of jewelry, scattered more, although she can't use most of them now, but there is a sense of satisfaction when you look at it.

Mama Li took out a small box, Shu Yierha opened it and saw that it was filled with small locks and small bracelets, she wondered when this was something, Mama Li explained: "This is Gege when he was a child, and he didn't like to bring these when Gege was older, so the slave put it away, and forgot to take it out last time." Gege, where do you think you're going to put these?"

Shu Yierha flipped through them one by one, the things are very exquisite, and they are all made of real money, but she can't use them now, has she been leaving them in vain? After thinking about it, she picked out some particularly good ones, and let Mama Li take out the rest and cast them into gold and silver bills, which can be used to reward people and buy things, and save waste.

Time passed day by day, the weather gradually got colder, Erhe sent Shu Yierha two more silver tickets, one was three hundred and seventy taels, one was four hundred taels, for Erhe, these are naturally nothing, but for Shu Yierha is not a small amount, every time she took the silver ticket, she was smiling, Erhe said that she was a small money fan.

Xilin Jueluo also found that her daughter seemed to attach too much importance to money, for fear that she would develop a habit of greedy for money, and for fear that she would be shallow and childish, so he deliberately called her over when reconciling the accounts, let her see her family's background, and told her that "money is something outside the body, you can't care less, but you can't care too much" Something like that, Shu Yierha realized that he seemed to have lost his heart, and he reflected on it for several days, and then he still liked it when he looked at objects such as gold, silver, and jewelry, but he would never be at ease anymore, but he looked down on money a lot.

On October 22, Aunt Gu, who was almost forgotten by Shu Yierha, showed her sense of existence, since she was pregnant, Xilin Jue Luo was considerate of her on the one hand, on the other hand, she didn't want her to be an eyesore in front of her, so she was exempted from her morning and dusk, so that she could raise the fetus with peace of mind, she was also at peace, every day she was either doing needlework in the house, or taking a walk in the courtyard, occasionally going to the garden for a turn, and she did not rely on being pregnant to get pampered, and she was honest and could be a model of concubines.

But no matter how honest it is, when you want to give birth to a child, you have to toss it, Aunt Gu started it after lunch, although Xilin Jue Luo didn't like to see her, but she never treated her harshly, Wen Po and the nurse were prepared early, and even calculated that she was not far from giving birth, and specially invited the doctor to come to her next day to diagnose her pulse, and when she heard that she was going to give birth, she immediately let Wen Po in, and asked people to invite the doctor, and she was guarding outside the delivery room, which is her responsibility as a wife.
