Chapter 641
Liu Lin's birthday, there were many people who came, and the wives of local officials came, not to mention rich businessmen and squires.
Originally, Mrs. Prefect and Mrs. Tongju were just going to give congratulatory gifts, but when they heard that Mrs. Shengping Hou and the county lord of Rui'an had come back to congratulate Liu Lin on his birthday, they also hurried over.
It's freezing outside, and the earth dragon in the house is burning hot, making people feel warm like spring.
Tan and these ladies have long been very familiar, after all, her husband is a furniture shop, everyone has a daughter to marry, a son to marry, in order to get a set of good furniture for marriage or to furnish a new house, these people are also willing to befriend Tan.
What's more, there is also a Shengping Hou Lady and Rui'an County Lord behind the Tan family.
Mrs. Prefect quietly glanced at Xiao'er and found that she was really beautiful, elegant and natural in her gestures, without the slightest artificiality, and the most important thing was that she was amazingly beautiful no matter the side, front, or bow.
She had heard the handkerchief of the imperial capital say that the six princes were undisguised and affectionate to the county lord of Rui'an.
Such a beautiful woman, what man doesn't like it.
The prefect's wife glanced at her daughter and sighed in her heart, her daughter's appearance looks like herself, and she is also one in a hundred, but she doesn't know what kind of person she will marry in the future.
This year, she has already passed the throne, and her father-in-law doesn't know when she will be able to transfer back to the imperial capital, and she really doesn't want to marry her daughter in this state capital.
She was worried that after her father-in-law was transferred back to the imperial capital in the future, her daughter would stay here, and it would be difficult for her to see each other.
The prefect's wife remembered that Shengping Hou had an eldest son, but she didn't know if she was engaged, and she heard that she was the head of the case at a young age.
The prefect's wife wanted to investigate, but there were so many ladies present, if she opened her mouth rashly, wouldn't it make people think that she was in a hurry to climb the Shengpinghou family, which would make people look down on her daughter.
The prefect's wife looked at Tan Shi with her eyes wandering, thinking about how to bring the topic out.
At this time, Mrs. Tong asked Tan, "Mrs. Tan, didn't your eldest daughter come back?"
Grandmother's 50th birthday, granddaughters have come to celebrate her birthday, and her granddaughter has not returned, is it too unfilial?
When Liu heard this, he said: "Jingshu, that child wants to come back, but she is pregnant, and this fetus is not enough for three months, so I stopped her and asked her not to come back." ”
When the prefect's wife heard this, she finally thought of what to say: "It's good not to come back, it's cold and freezing, the mountains and rivers are far away, if she comes back, the old lady should be worried that she can't sleep well every day." ”
Liu Lin nodded: "That child is a little out of the way, she can stay at home in peace, and give birth to my great-grandson peacefully, which is the best birthday gift." ”
"But that's not the reason, the mother of the child is worried, and the daughter is even more worried when she marries out, especially if she marries far away, she is the most worried about being a father, and we don't pray that they can be filial to themselves, as long as they live well in their in-laws' house, it is the greatest filial piety to themselves. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I think so too. Tan nodded.
"But Mrs. Tan's daughter is fine, and she is taken care of by her aunt in the emperor. ”
Liu smiled and shook his head: "Jingshu's child is blessed, the old lady of the Li family and Mrs. Li are better to her than my sister-in-law is to her, and I don't dare to take the credit for taking care of her." But although I don't have the credit, I have received a lot of filial piety. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"The girl is married to a good family after all, so that her father and mother can rest assured. I now know that having a daughter is much more worrying than having a son, and just choosing a family for her will make people grow a few more gray hairs. After saying this, the prefect's wife glanced at her daughter.
"Isn't Mrs. Lin's daughter still a family?" Liu asked casually when he heard this.
"Not yet, I've been preparing to show her lately. ”
Liu Shi heard this and felt in her heart, she looked at the daughter of the prefect, her appearance was not the best in this, but it was not bad, and she belonged to the type that became more and more attractive the more she looked.
She had been sitting quietly beside the prefect's wife, smiling and listening patiently to everyone.
Now the prefect's words made her blush and bow her head.
The girl with good character in the imperial capital Liu is either engaged, or older than Jing Rui, or too young, and the family population is complex (Xiao'er thinks it's nothing, but Liu thinks it's better to have less trouble), anyway, Liu thinks it's not suitable, and it's not the ideal candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law in her heart.
Liu looked at the other girls present, or there would be suitable among these girls, but he didn't know if they would marry far away.
Liu doesn't pay attention to family background, only looks at character, as for appearance, it's not too ugly, it's pleasing to the eye, she wants to pick the eldest daughter-in-law, if the character is not good, she can't tolerate her younger siblings, then it will destroy the harmony of the family in the future.
Just looking at it like this, I don't know what the temperament of these girls is, Liu looked at Xiao'er and winked at Xiao'er: "Xiao'er, Yun'er, we are talking here, you young people don't like to listen, so as not to stuff you young girls, you take them to play." ”
How could Xiao'er not understand Liu's thoughts, she nodded and stood up: "Sisters, let's go to the garden for a walk, there is a plum forest in the backyard of my uncle's house, and the plum blossoms are blooming just right." ”
The future six princesses, who dares not to give face, the girls present all stood up and wanted to follow Xiao'er out.
At this time, Jing Rui walked in.
Jing Rui wore a crescent white brocade forging robe today, with a dark purple belt around his waist, a long and jade body, a clear appearance, and a plump and cool posture.
His demeanor was calm and calm, and his eyes were clear to greet the ladies and girls present.
This is the eldest son of the Marquis of Shengping? He is so good-looking! And I heard that he has been the head of high school, but I wonder if he has been married?
Many of the ladies here have come to their senses.
Some girls lowered their heads even more blushing, and then quietly looked at Jing Rui with their eyes.
"Is there something wrong with Rui'er?" asked Liu when he saw his son come in.
"We're having a barbecue in the plum forest, and I'd like to ask Xiao'er over to help with the seasoning. ”
It was really a roast chicken roasted by Zhiwen and Zhiwu before, the taste was too unpalatable, and then the whole sheep was going to be roasted, Jing Rui was worried that the whole sheep would be destroyed in the hands of the two brothers, so he had to come over and ask Xiao'er to help.
"Barbecue is your young people's hobby activities, it just so happens that Rui'an County mainly takes them to Meilin to play, my Ping'er is very good at cooking, let her go and help! "Mrs. Tongju saw Jing Rui like a hungry wolf saw meat.
"Mother, how can it be so exaggerated!" Gao Ping lowered her head shyly when she heard this, and snorted.
Jing Rui just smiled faintly when he heard this, and did not speak.
