Seeing that Xiao Ming was coming, Xiao stepped forward with a smile, and squatted on his knees, "Niangniang is here, please go to the main hall to have a cup of tea." ”

"Where have the guests gone?" asked Ming.

Xiao's smile was like a brocade, "Niangniang said that she laughed, the eldest brother of the above, when he held the Zhou Ceremony in the early years, he only invited his own family in-laws. How could the three girls of the concubine feast on the group of friends? And the concubine's father and brother were transferred to Huguang to work, so they ......" Xiao's pretty and flawless face showed a little embarrassment.

Boom Ming also has a black line, "I'm the only one who is here?"

Xiao nodded, "Fortunately, Niangniang is here, otherwise this will catch Zhou Li...... Originally, the old man said that he would not do it. ”

Ming's cheeks twitched twice, even her brother was patriarchal! Perhaps it should be said that the atmosphere of this era was like this! The first birthday ceremony of the eldest daughter of Qi Xiu Zhaohua was indeed handled simply.

Xiao Shi said again: "The master has gone to deal with official business, and the emperor is also in front." Why don't you send someone to invite the concubine?"

Hao Ming hurriedly waved his hand: "Then there is no need!" Anyway, it is not yet the time for the noon feast, "What about the third girl? I want to see her." Thinking that Xiao's Liu Er looks so lovely, this daughter who has just turned one year old must be pink and pleasing.

Xiao Shi hurriedly said: "I'm asleep inside, and the concubine will accompany my mother to go in and see." ”

She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Can you stop taking a bite of 'Niangniang'?" - she really doesn't like that title now......

Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, his eyelids drooped, and he thought for a moment, and then said: "If you are still like before, calling you 'Mrs. Lan', it will be a bit of a violation of the rules." It's better to call you 'Mrs. Gu' as a concubine. ”

"Forehead ......" whispered the black line, Mrs. Gu, it is the name of the mother's family for the married daughter, and it can also be called "aunt and grandmother", which can be regarded as an honorific title. On the other hand, Mrs. Gu's husband is called "Aunt Master".

"Okay. Whatever you want!" -- although it sounds like calling grandparents grandparents, it is better to listen to than calling her a mother.

This is a five-room lobby room, and the middle room is very spacious, and a table has been set up for a banquet. The maids and maids were busy inside and out. On the east side, behind the Wanfu Ruyi floor cover, is a separate secondary room, there is a rosewood bib bed by the window, and a pink and tender child is wrapped in the big red mandarin duck brocade swaddling clothes on the bed, and Xiao's son Liu Er is just stepping on it. He looked at his sister with his feet on his feet. There were two plump women standing at the head of the bed, thinking that they were the ** mother of this little Gege.

At this moment, the child was still asleep, his little mouth was half open, and his round cheeks were as beautiful as rubbing rouge. The child is still young, his facial features are not very open, his small nose and eyes are very cute, and his skin is thin. White and tender and watery.

Ming immediately asked Runxiang to take out the ruyi golden lock embedded in the southern pearl and put it on the neck of the little girl with her own hands.

Xiao Shi hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and then took his son Liu'er's little hand, and said, "This is Mrs. Aunt, you should be called 'Aunt'." ”

Liu Er was extremely well-behaved, and immediately put her hands together and called her "aunt", like a little adult.

Humming looked at it and rejoiced. He also took off the jasper Sanyang Kaitai jade pendant worn around his waist and gave it to him, the jade pendant was green and gratifying, like a pool of blue water, which was the superior product of Hetian's tribute. Xiao is a man of knowledge. Seeing this, he hurriedly refused: "How did Mrs. Gu come up with such a valuable thing?"

Hao Ming only smiled and said, "This is my own nephew, and I didn't give it to outsiders." ”

Xiao couldn't refuse, so he accepted it for his son.

When Ming asked Runxiang to present the handwritten book of Dong Qichang again, Xiao refused to accept it even more than death, "It was just a family banquet, and Mrs. Gu rewarded the younger generations with some gold and jade to add blessings." The concubine never dared to accept this thing, otherwise the lord would reprimand her. ”

"Since I brought it, naturally I didn't take it back. The voice was gentle, but unusually resolute.

Xiao Shi only said: "The concubine has to ask someone to ask the master, otherwise you don't dare to accept it." With that, he arranged for the maids around him to go and ask for instructions.

Hao Ming smacked her tongue secretly, she really has enough three and four virtues, and her brother is a good hand at disciplining women.

After a while, there was a Chang entourage around Xiu Qi who came to talk back and forth, and Xiao Shi hurriedly got up and listened.

"The adult said that his family is too polite, and he is a child, and I hope that Aunt Xiao will remember it. ”

Xiao nodded at this time, and said respectfully: "Go back to the master, just say that I have written it down." With that, he sat down again.

About half an hour later, when it was close to noon, Xiu Qi came, he came alone, and the emperor did not come. Hao Ming couldn't help laughing, this is the full moon banquet of the daughter of Xiu Qi's concubine, how could the emperor surrender his identity here?

It's okay, she doesn't want to cover up with the emperor.

So, Xiao Shi hurriedly asked his mother to take the three girls out, facing the main hall, under the shade of elm and willows, a long table was full of needles and threads, scissors, rouge, books, brushes, abacus, flowers, cakes and other things, miscellaneous, so he asked the three girls to catch them at will. The girl went up directly and grabbed the sewing kit, ** The mother girls hurriedly praised Xiao Gege for growing up, she must be chaste and virtuous, and she is good at female red.

But he was thinking, what kind of Raush caught Zhou, it was simply rehearsed in advance.

If a one-year-old child is carefully taught in advance and told to catch what should be caught, it should not be difficult.

After grabbing the things, there was nothing to do with the three girls, and they were carried back to the inner room by the ** mother, but Liu Er, who was only three years old, could go to the table for a banquet, but she was sitting on Xiao's lap.

There is a large table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but there are only three adults and one child sitting, and it feels strange and lonely when you look at it.

Although the Xiao family has a seat, it is obvious that he is stained with his son's light, and he has to be busy adding wine to Xiuqi and pouring tea for Mingming.

The concubine knew that Mrs. Gu didn't like to drink, so she prepared some tea. Xiao said.

On the contrary, Xiu Qi, who was drinking, was stunned, "Mrs. Gu, why do you call it like that?"

Bo Ming raised his eyebrows and pouted Xiuqi: "I'm willing, do you have any opinions?!"

"Forehead......" Xiu Qi choked instantly, and couldn't help but feel empty, "No, no opinion." He hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of stuffy wine to hide his embarrassment.

The tea soup is clear, fragrant and fragrant, and it smells good.

Xiao Shi said diligently: "This is this spring's jasmine tea, and I don't know if Mrs. Gu is used to drinking it." ”

With Xiuqi's current official position, the tea in his house is naturally not bad. Yu Ming lowered his head and took a sip, and couldn't help laughing: "Fragrant Fuhua, it's very good." "--Anyway, she won't drink! She only suffered a loss a few days ago, and she doesn't have to worry about drinking with Xiuqi! lest she be sold by her own brother again!!

Xiu Qi swallowed the tea when he saw that Ming, and secretly relieved his heart, and said in his heart...... It's done. (To be continued.) )
