Although the old lady's Chunshou is imminent, the minions are all doing their jobs, and the Taifu Mansion is busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But the atmosphere in the house has always been very depressing.

The minions of each courtyard did not dare to let go of their voices when they walked back and forth, and they were cautiously awake, for fear of being punished for doing something wrong.

Finally got through to the right day, and Taifu hung up the red light a few days earlier, with gold and stone silk bamboo, Luo Qizhu Cui, and a new layout inside and out.

Early in the morning, everyone from each courtyard gathered in the middle hall of Mrs. Tai's "Kangning Garden", and knelt down to the old lady in a separate room to send birthday blessings.

However, today Lu Ruxue was unusual, and she didn't come up with any birthday gifts at the first time. Instead, he took a small step, saying that he was borrowing his brother's hand before the first luncheon.

Lu Chongwu begged for a long time, but Lu Ruxue insisted very much, and in the end, the old lady obeyed his granddaughter's invitation.

As early as three months ago, the secretary of Taifu Mansion had already sent a post to the various prefectures that had made good friends in Beijing. On the Huaiyuan clan's side, they also sent someone to inform them.

On the day of the birthday banquet, in order to help the fun, several famous opera troupes of Beijing were invited to come to Fuzhong to set up a stage singing hall.

Even the emperor rewarded him with a pair of words. Mrs. Lu took everyone in the house to dress according to the quality to receive the reward, and directly ordered someone to send it to the painting building to frame the table with lacquer gold, and put the case in the lobby of the central hall.

Those who come and go to congratulate will naturally see it. It is said that Mrs. Lu is still a pillar of the society and a minister of the humerus. The words of praise and boasting are known all over the capital.

There are even many people who have not received the invitation, and they also take the opportunity to send birthday gifts in person.

The person who came was a guest, and it was not easy for the Taifu Mansion to drive people out. I had to add more seats and more tables, and the original 30 seats in the inner courtyard and 50 seats in the outer courtyard were still not enough to increase to 100 seats.

In the end, the one-day birthday banquet was added to two days and changed to a three-day flowing water banquet.

Even Lu Ruxue, who didn't like to socialize the most, was forced out by Mrs. Lu to help Tang and others entertain guests.

The three Lu Chongwen brothers were so busy that they didn't even have time to sit down and have a meal. Even Mu Xuanyang became half a master, helping to greet the guests from the palaces.

Fortunately, Xu Zhuying had a good eye, and borrowed nearly thirty minions from the Wei State Mansion first, and came to the Taifu Mansion to help support it, so there was barely any big mess.

Three days later, Lu Ruxue collapsed on the Luohan bed with a tired face and slept until nearly noon the next day.

"Caiyue, what time is it?" Looking out the window at the cold sky and the cold wind howling, I knew that I must be getting up late.

"Don't worry, Miss, Mrs. Tai ordered Sister Lan Ruo to come and pass the word early in the morning, saying that the eldest lady should be exempted from getting up in the morning and asking for peace, so that the slaves and maids should not quarrel with the eldest lady to rest. The eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady also sent someone to say it. ”

Knowing that her grandmother was distressed, and she was also tired, she hugged the quilt and closed her eyes again. I had no worries in my heart, and I didn't eat, so I fell asleep again.

Cai Yue was a little worried about the eldest lady's body, but when Mrs. Tai spoke, she didn't dare to quarrel with the eldest lady. had to take turns guarding an inch with the four of Caixing, and they didn't dare to leave.

I slept until nightfall, and then I had to get up. After washing up and dressing, I came to greet Mrs. Tai.

"What time is it for you, child, why did you come so late, and it's time to eat?" Yun was worried, but everyone had arrived, and his daughter was the latest, and he was afraid that his mother-in-law would blame him, so he had to take the lead and complain about his daughter.

"Okay, look at the black and blue under the eyes of the snow. Before the birthday banquet, in order to prepare for her grandfather's birthday gift, I don't know how much attention was spent. In the past three days, she has helped her aunt greet guests, but she is very tired. ”

Mrs. Tai couldn't see Yun's daughter the most, so she explained for her granddaughter, and pretended to be distressed and took her into her arms.

"Can you sleep well? This filial piety is not on the surface, only if you raise your body well, and your grandmother looks happy, that is the great filial piety." ”

"Yes. The granddaughter got it. "Lu Ruxue Yuan planned to ask for a sin as soon as he entered the door, please obey the courtesy. was taken into her arms by her grandmother, and the words that brought her to her mouth were forcibly blocked.

"Cousin, I really want to open your little head to see what's in it?" Lu Chengwu remembered the birthday gift that Lu Ruxue gave to his grandfather, although it was not the most valuable, but even if it was just an ordinary thing of wood and stone, it could compare everyone to everyone.

He wasn't jealous, he was just curious.

"The second cousin has a good idea, and I, as an elder brother, sometimes want to do this. Why do you think she has so many ghost ideas?" Lu Chongyu also coaxed.

Lu Ruxue glanced at the two of them, but she didn't answer or say anything, just snuggled in her grandmother's arms.

"Well, grandmother is curious too. It was a busy day, and your grandfather didn't have time to ask in detail. How could you think of carving a model of that ancestral house out of wood and giving it to your grandfather? I also found someone to pinch the clay figurines according to the appearance of our family. Not to mention that the two of them like it, even the grandmother likes it. ”

Speaking of this, even the eldest lord Lu Chengzu nodded along with him, and before the first banquet at noon that day, Lu Chongyu invited his grandfather to the outer courtyard for Lu Ruxue. And behold, there was something covered with red silk in the midst of the ground.

No one knew what Lu Ruxue was sending, Lu Chongyu ordered the little guys around him to help pick up the red silk.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, if the big sand table, there was a model of Huaiyuan's ancestral house carved with wood.

In each courtyard, there are also small painted clay figurines according to the appearance of people. Flowing water rockery, bamboo shadow flowers, every place, as if alive. The old lady Lu who watched had tears in her eyes, but she couldn't take her eyes off.

What's even more strange is that the doors and windows can be opened, and even the roof can be picked up. The furnishings in the house are also carved and fired in proportion, and there is no mistake or omission.

Although Xu Zhuying has never been to the ancestral house, she can also see it, let alone the old lady and Mrs. Tai.

In fact, Lu Ruxue didn't feel that she had done anything. It's just that when I was old last year, my grandfather and grandmother read it many times, saying that when they were old, they wanted to go back to their ancestral house while they could still walk.

But first, because of his age, he couldn't help but be tired. The second is that the children are not at ease and have not been able to make the trip. So Lu Ruxue thought of a way, according to her own impression, she carved a scene, a house, and a painting of Huaiyuan's ancestral house, and carved it into a model sand table.

In order to make the scenery vivid, florists, stonemasons, painters and other craftsmen were specially invited to plant flowers and trees on the small sand table, and stack stones to create landscaping.

So don't say it's Mrs. Lu, even Mrs. Tai is also in tears when she sees it, touching it here, looking at it there, and she doesn't want to go back to the hospital.

However, Lu Ruxue doesn't like to explain, in her opinion, she is just doing her filial piety as a junior.

But in the eyes of others, she is the most clever, but she is the most valuable.

Seeing her grandmother asking, Lu Ruxue had to answer. But he only replied simply, and then stopped talking.
