Sheng Weiqiao remembered when he heard this, and before the banquet, Qi told her that the custom of longevity wine here in Chang'an is to pay homage to the birthday star when the banquet atmosphere is the most lively.

She hurriedly said to Sheng Weirao: "Then I'll go and prepare." ”

Tong Qi went out to the courtyard through the small door from the side, and saw that the granddaughters and granddaughters of Princess Jian'an and Yuan Donglai and other Gaomi princesses were already waiting, and the county lord of Qingfang was squatting on the ground, tidying up the clothes for Rong Lingwei and Rong Lingsui.

Qi Shi saw it and thanked him: "I'm tired of you." ”

He also asked the subordinates who served these two sons why they let the county lord of Qingfang do what they should do for them?

The two nurses didn't dare to make a sound, but the county lord of Qingfang said something to relieve them: "The nurses are sorted out for them, but they are naughty and always want to tear off their clothes, so I came over to clean them up and coaxed them a few words by the way." ”

Qi Shi frowned when she heard this, she was obviously a strict mother, and when she saw this, the little brother who was still pulling and pulling suddenly held her breath and put on a posture of "I am very obedient and obedient".

"When I go back, I'll punish you for eating one less piece of snack!" But Qi Shi was unmoved, and said in a low voice, "If you don't have to pay your grandmother's birthday after a while, there will be no dim sum for the next ten days!"

Rong Lingwan and Rong Lingsui were suddenly like eggplants beaten by frost, and they were a depressed mess.

Qi said that the eldest son, Rong Lingzhan: "You are the eldest brother, the younger brothers are disobedient, why don't you come forward to drink, and you still have to worry about your aunt?"

Seeing Rong Lingzhan's confused face, Jian'an Junjun hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Mother, it's like this, the second sister and the third sister ran away, and the people below couldn't find it for a while, and the fourth brother and I were helping the next person find it, and I just came back! When I came back, I had already seen my aunt coaxing the fifth brother and the sixth brother." ”

Guangchang Junjun and Yunyang Junjun were suddenly awe-inspiring, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to look at Qi.

The county lord of Qingfang looked at the cautious appearance of several nephews and nieces, and said to Qi: "It's normal for children to be ignorant, but sister-in-law is a little stricter." ”

"Qingfang, when I was in charge of the children, your eldest brother was silent. However, Qi didn't buy it, frowned and said, "If the jade is not cut, it doesn't matter now, and when it develops a bad habit in the future, it will be difficult to correct it! Besides, it is normal for children to be ignorant, and it is common for children to be beaten up for nonsense, where is it so delicate!"

Although Sheng Weiqiao felt that Qi's godson was very principled, but considering that he was about to give his mother-in-law a birthday, he still played a round and said: "Today is a good day for the mother's concubine, the nephews and nieces are happy, and it is inevitable that they will get a little carried away, so it is inevitable that they will spare them this time? After all, they are going to kowtow to the mother concubine in a while, if the children are all depressed, everyone inside will see it, and it will be a disappointment!"

Because Qi was a new concubine, and considering Rong Sleephe's status in front of Princess Gaomi, he gave her face, and said to a goddaughter with a straight face: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and thank your aunt and third aunt?"

He said, "Did you hear what your third aunt said? If you deliberately put on a bitter gourd face when you pay homage to your birthday, see how I clean you up!"

Jian'an Junjun obediently said "I heard", there was a sound of footsteps in the door of the moon cave, and I saw that the prince Rong Qing took the lead, and the prince of Mizhen County, Rong Sleeping Crane, and Huaiyuan Hou Yuan Liuguang father and son followed closely behind, and they were stepping in together.

After they arrived, they exchanged a few words with their respective wives, and the subordinates who were guarding the outer room quietly went in to inform them, so after a while, the master of ceremonies began to sing the salute, and let everyone go in to worship the elders and children according to their relatives and generations.

At this time, there was already an empty piece of land in front of Princess Gaomi and a splendid futon on it.

Although Rong Sleeping Crane is younger than the lord of Qingfang, because he is a son, according to the custom at this time, he is closer than his daughter.

So after the birthday of the prince and his wife, it was his turn to go in with Sheng Weiqiao.

Princess Gaomi was very happy to accept their gifts, and took a pair of mutton fat jade mandarin ducks and lotus jade pendants as a reward.

The following is the county lord of Qingfang and Yuan Liuguang, no one is uninteresting Tirong Qingdrunk and the county lord of Huihe, so it's over the grandchildren.

The older ones, such as Jian'an Junjun and others, naturally have a good appearance, so that the guests around them say: "The palace is the palace in the end, and the princes and grandsons of the counties are really well-behaved and generous." ”

But when it was the turn of the youngest Rong Lingwan and Rong Lingsui, there was still a little fun: after the five-year-old and four-year-old brothers entered the door, they went straight to the futon and kowtowed, but after the bang, they said "I wish my grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan", and the princess said the word "good", and they got up and rushed to the princess's knees, and asked her to praise her for her birthday and worship: "If the mother says that if it is not good, she will not give snacks to eat!"

The people nearby who heard it immediately laughed and said to Qi: "When they are young, you scare them behind your back?

Qi glared at the two sons in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around...... Why don't you hurry up?"

"Our family is in charge of your mother-in-law in the morning, and now your mother-in-law has spoken, and my grandmother has to take the lead in obeying orders!" Princess Gaomi has always been kind to her grandchildren, but she will never spoil her, let alone interfere with her eldest daughter-in-law's godson, so she will be happy watching the two little grandsons at this time, so she patted their heads and said with a smile, "So grandmother can't save you." ”

The little brother was dragged down with a sad face, and wiped his tears before he reached the threshold, obviously afraid that he would be cleaned up by the Qi family later.

However, everyone watched it happily, and some people flattered Princess Gaomi: "The princess has passed on the upbringing of Mrs. Qin, and she has never been willing to spoil her heirs, after the two children have received such a lesson, they will never dare to be spoiled anymore, and in the future, the palace will inevitably have two more talented and humble princes and grandsons!"

Princess Gaomi just smiled faintly at these words and said, "It's my eldest daughter-in-law, don't worry about me inside and out." ”

There was nothing else to say about the rest of the day, just like a normal feast, after eating and drinking, it was gone.

After Sheng Weiqiao returned to the county king's mansion, he remembered that he had promised Zhao Li at the table, so he went to his own special small study, ordered Hibiscus to study ink, and hurriedly wrote a handwritten letter, explaining the ins and outs, and sending it to Nanfeng County.

He also ordered someone to take out the scrolls mentioned with Zhao Li, and secretly muttered: "I'm not good at Danqing, and these scrolls are not for Zhao Li, but for him to appreciate them for a few days." Even if you don't look at the affection of your relatives, everyone is in Chang'an as nobles, and I won't refuse if you open this mouth. It's just that when I told him about it at that time, Zhao Taocheng came out to interrupt, obviously not wanting to benefit from me, and even didn't want her siblings to benefit from me. Send it over at this time, even if the Zhao family takes it for Zhao Li, eighty percent will be suspicious, or think that I am deliberately showing off, or suspect that I am deliberately blocking Zhao Taocheng......"

Thinking like this, I dispelled the idea of giving the painting to Zhao Li for enjoyment.

It's just that she decided to be vague here, but Zhao Li over there took it to heart, so she waited to see through the autumn water. After three days, there was no movement on the side of the Mizhen County Palace, and it was difficult to sit still, and finally he pulled Zhao Han, the sixth son of the second room of the Zhao family, to come to the door.

On this day, it happened that Rong Sleeping Crane got up early and left the house, Sheng Weiqiao heard that Zhao Li and Zhao Han were visiting, and immediately guessed their purpose, and hurriedly asked someone to welcome him to the flower hall to talk, and then went into the inner room to freshen up and dress up, and changed into a dress to greet the guest.

Sister-in-law looked at the face, saw the ceremony, and greeted her slightly, the anxious Zhao Li was not very euphemistic to remind her of the previous promise, Sheng Weiqiao naturally would not say that he was afraid that Zhao Taocheng would misunderstand and did not send the painting to the past, but forgot it by accident, and said "suddenly": "Look at my memory! After I came back from the palace that day, I kept thinking that there seemed to be something I hadn't done? It turned out to be this! The lost cousin is here today, otherwise I am afraid that I won't remember it until this time, but let my cousin think that I don't talk anymore!"

Zhao Li hurriedly said: "Where is my cousin-in-law? ”

The two politely exchanged a few words, Sheng Weiqiao ordered someone to get the painting, Zhao Li couldn't help but be overjoyed, Zhao Han, the sixth son of the Zhao family who came with him, although he was one year younger than him, he was more proficient in human affairs.

Zhao Han felt that his family and Sheng Weiqiao's cousin-in-law did not have a deep friendship, because of Zhao Tao's matter, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have some problems with each other.

So he started talking, and asked about the recent situation of Sheng Weiqiao and his wife.

Sheng Weiqiao didn't plan to tell them more at first, he just thought about taking the painting and sending them away.

But Zhao Han's concern, she remembered that at the birthday banquet of Princess Gaomi, Huan Yehe reminded her outside the words, and secretly said that this was an opportunity, so she said: "Mizhen has been busy, and you also know the situation in the court, the matter of Zhao'an is still grinding until now, I just hope that the princes can make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to let him be away from home all day." As for me, this huge mansion has its own stewardship, and I am idle. I guess it's going to be a little busier in the next five festivals!"

Zhao Han thought that she was saying that the entertainment of the festival banquet was cumbersome, so she smiled and said: "The world is like this, and there is no way to do it." Fortunately, it's just such a day, my cousin-in-law can bear with it!"

Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said: "Sixth cousin, you misunderstood, I have always been in Nanfeng County before, and I haven't participated in the banquet here in Chang'an, so it is still a little novel, but I don't feel so bored." The main thing is my mother's fourth sister, which is Fuchang's business. ”

Zhao Han hadn't spoken before he heard this, and Zhao Li had already pricked up his ears: "What did my cousin say?"

"Fuchang is a year younger than me, and he is sixteen this year. Because I don't know if the candidate introduced by Sheng Weirao to the Qi family can succeed, even if it can be successful, Sheng Weiqiao is too lazy to tell the Zhao family about his sister's marriage, so this is only the end of the point, "So the elders in the family have some consideration for her future, but they are involved with me for details...... Of course, there is such an idea at this time, I don't know what will happen when the time comes, don't talk about it!"

Zhao Han smiled: "Don't worry, cousin-in-law, we won't talk too much." ”

said politely, "Zhong Lingyuxiu, the lord of Fuchang County, I don't know who will have such a blessing?"

Sheng Weiqiao was perfunctory with him, and thought to himself: I said so, Zhao Li is always embarrassed to entangle or disturb the fourth sister, right?

Even if Zhao Li continues to be ignorant and blind, she has a reason to tell the Zhao family.
