Mrs. Xia's birthday, Mr. Su did not come in person.

Su Bai brought birthday Lilai and said to Zhao Changqing Xia Wen, "Yesterday my mother got a good book, and when she saw the sky bright, her spirit was a little bad. I thought that Sister Qing's house was not outside, and persuaded my mother to have a good life at home, and it was the same when I came over. ”

Zhao Changqing remained silent and smiled, "Mr. is such a temper, he can't read a good book in one go." In fact, Mr. Su has never had the habit of reading at night, and even when he took Zhao Changqing to be influenced by her, he never read at night. Su Bai's lie is really not very clever in front of Zhao Changqing, and Zhao Changqing has to lie for him.

Mrs. Xia didn't mind, mainly because Su Bai had set up a girl from Shilang's Mansion, and she was born in Tanhua, so Mrs. Xia has always been very polite to the Su family. Mrs. Xia smiled, "Mr. Su is a learned person, he likes books so much, it's strange that you can be a flower, and your mother teaches you well." ”

Su Bai smiled, "The old lady is too awarded, I wish you a birthday, may you be as blessed as the East China Sea, and your longevity is better than Nanshan." He said.

Old Mrs. Xia happily, "Don't be like this, I'm happy if you guys come." ”

Su Bai came the earliest, obviously because of his closeness, Mrs. Xia saw that he was handsome and likable, so she chattered with him. Su Bai is good-tempered and patiently accompanies him.

For a while, Xia Gongren came with his daughters-in-law, since Zhao Changqing often entered the palace to teach the five princesses to pinch clay figures, Xia Gongren was also very enthusiastic about the Xia family. Knowing that it was Mrs. Xia's birthday, she arrived early with her daughters-in-law.

Su Bai regarded himself as Zhao Changqing's maiden brother, so he came to the inner house to congratulate Mrs. Xia on her birthday, and when she heard that the daughter of the Xia clan had arrived, Su Bai said, "I still went out to avoid it, Mo Tang was abrupt." ”

Mrs. Xia is used to staying in Qingcheng County, the folk customs in Shuzhong are open, and her old man doesn't know much about the imperial capital, so she laughs, "It's okay, it's not an outsider, it's my nephew and daughter-in-law." "Xia Gongren wants to call Mrs. Xia an aunt in terms of seniority.

As he spoke, Xia Gongren and his entourage had already come in, and it was too late for Su Bai to avoid it.

Xia Gongren smiled, "Auntie's birthday, it's not too late for me to come." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled, "I have an old woman's birthday, I said, if you have a day less, what do you celebrate." The children have to do it, and the gathering of relatives and friends alarms you again. The smugness in and out of the words was mentioned.

"Even if my aunt doesn't invite me, I'm coming." Xia Gongren smiled, "This is filial piety to be a descendant, and the aunt should be happy." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled, "I'm glad I'm happy, I'm happy when you come." ”

Xia Gongren flattered Mrs. Xia a few words, her eyes fell on Su Bai, her face couldn't help but change, she stared at Su Bai, and couldn't take her eyes off. Mrs. Xia smiled, "You don't recognize him." This is Su Tanhua, just like Awen's daughter-in-law's sister and brother. ”

Xia Gongren stared at Su Bai, the smile on his face was like squeezing out, "I heard that Su Tanhua is from the border city. "At the beginning, his son-in-law Yong'an Hou intended to recruit Su Tanhua as his son-in-law, and Xia Gongren came from Zhao Changqing to find out the wind, and it was the first time he met Su Bai.

Su Bai naturally noticed Xia Gongren's abnormality, his smile remained unchanged, and he said, "Yes." ”

Xia Gongren couldn't help but say, "Is my hometown in the border city?" ”

"My hometown is Huizhou Su's."

Xia Gong said, "Su Wensu Gong's branch? ”

Su Bai smiled, "The side branch of the Su clan does not dare to climb up to Su Wensu Gong." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Uncle Niang and Su Wensu are familiar with each other?" ”

Xia Gongren smiled, "I don't dare to say this, it's just that people who have lived in the imperial capital for a long time rarely don't know the name of Duke Su Wensu." When I saw Su Tanhua, I was really startled, and I wondered Su Tanhua for describing it like this, you were born in the Su family in Huizhou, which is no wonder. Su Wensu Gong was already a famous erudite Confucianism when he was the first emperor, back then, Su Wensu Gong had a son, who was also born in Tanhua, Su Tanhua's description and appearance compared with the Great Su Tanhua back then, it seemed to be a shadow, I was stunned when I saw it, as if the Great Su Tanhua was reborn. ”

Su Bai smiled, "I often hear people say this in the Hanlin Academy, maybe it's because of the same clan." ”

Xia Gongren smiled, "Yes." The Su family's scholarly family, Su Tanhua Lingxiu is so far, it is not unusual. ”

Su Bai is a man in the end, and after saying a few words, Xia Wen and Su Bai Xia Wu went out to entertain guests. For a while, Ling Teng, Zhu Qing, Liguo and some friends from the Hanlin Academy all arrived, and even brought the Yuan family to join in the fun.

Yuan said to Zhao Changqing, "The house has been chosen, clean up one or two, and you can live in it before the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Zhao Changqing hurriedly asked, "Where did the aunt buy the house?" ”

Yuan smiled, "It's not far from you, across the street, close to Liguo's house, just in the same alley, separated by two houses." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's close." Asked the size of the house again, Yuan smiled, "Our border city is vast and sparsely populated, and we are used to living in a wide compound in my hometown, I discussed with your uncle, and also bought a four-entry one, which is wide and spacious, and your cousin will become a biological son in the future, and there is a place." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Listen to what Uncle Niang means, is Cousin Qing's family affair done?" ”

Yuan smiled, "It's not settled yet, and it's a little accurate." It's hard to say now, but when you settle down, you can get to the wine. ”

"I don't have to say it, I'm going too."

While everyone was talking, Grandma Fang San also arrived.

Xia Gongren smiled when he saw her, "I only saw her yesterday, and we will see you again today." ”

Grandma Fang San smiled, "Yes." Congratulations to Mrs. Xia on her birthday, laughing, "I talked to my father-in-law early this morning, but unfortunately there were relatives at home, and after talking for a while, it was delayed." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled, "What's sooner or later, we're not outside, don't go outside." "Actually, she didn't know Grandma Fang San at all.

Zhao Changqing invited Grandma Fang San to sit and introduced the people in the house to Grandma Fang San. Fang Xing was born in the Yasukuni Mansion, and lived in Qingcheng for a period of time when he was young, and he was a classmate with Xia Wen for three or two years, and he had not been in contact for many years. The three-color roses that Xia Wenxun had in the early days were dug up from the Yasukuni Mansion.

Since the two families started to move around, Grandma Fang San and Zhao Changqing naturally knew each other, not only that, but one of the five princesses' companion surnamed Fang was the girl of the Yasukuni Mansion, and Grandma Fang San was Miss Fang's third aunt.

Xia Wen and Zhao Changqing are really capable, so on Mrs. Xia's birthday, Fang Xing brought his wife over to have a good time.

Grandma Fang San smiled, "Ago, I served my old lady and wife to go to Xishan Temple to make incense, and when I passed through Luomei Spring, I saw someone cooking tea by Luomei Spring from the car, and I looked like you, I don't know if it is." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's definitely it." Now on this hot day, the mountains are cool, and I went early in the morning, and I cooked tea by the spring, and the taste was exceptionally good. ”

Grandma Fang San smiled, "I see, you are better than those literati. "In the eyes of Grandma Fang San, although the Xia family is mediocre, Zhao Changqing has a life of immortals. There is no need to set up those rules in front of your in-laws; The second is willing to go out, and if you are willing to visit friends, you can visit friends, such as Zhao Changqing, who still has time to go to the spring to cook tea and have fun after marriage, and the emperor is afraid that he will be alone. How comfortable.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "How dare you compare your appetite with the literati?" ”

The last to come was Song Jiarang and his wife, Qi's identity was the most popular among everyone, and the house was naturally more lively, Xia Yu asked, "Uncle Song, didn't Sister Fu come?" ”

Qi smiled, "Today it's Sister Fu'er's turn to go to the palace to be a companion, and then she rests, and she muttered early and said that I will come to you, and you will play together." ”

Xia Yu smiled, "Okay." I wrote a letter to the big girl, and I wanted to ask her if she wanted to write it together, so I sent it to the big girl by the way. ”

It was almost noon when Qi came, and everyone talked for a while before the banquet began. Zhao Changqing's house is spacious, and he also invited two classes of small dramas, everyone laughed and ate, but it was also lively.

Playing wine until the end of the day, sending off the guests, Zhao Changqing ordered Yongfu to watch and clean up, and the affairs outside were taken care of by Ping Shun and Ping. Xia Wen is the main family, so he naturally drank a lot of wine, Zhao Changqing gave him two green plum teas and asked him to go to sleep and sober up. Hong'er came in with the sorted gift list, and Zhao Changqing said after reading it, "Classify and collect these gifts, set up another account book, copy the gift list separately, and mark it clearly on the gift list, when it is the gift." ”

Hong'er answered "yes" and went down to get busy.

Mrs. Xia has been lively for most of the day, and she is also a little tired, so she leans on the couch to recuperate. Aunt Xia returned from inquiring about the news, and said in Mrs. Xia's ear, "Except for the eldest brother and sister-in-law who personally sent it to her mother, the rest of the people left, and the nephews and daughters-in-law all let people move to her library." ”

Mrs. Xia was immediately displeased in her heart, and said, "What do you say, I have a birthday, and she accepts gifts." ”

Aunt Xia pouted, "Isn't it?" This is also a bit overbearing. Everyone's great cause, is there still a shortage of these things? Hey, rich people like things. ”

Old Mrs. Xia wanted to reconcile with Zhao Changqing, frowned and thought for a moment, it was really difficult to swallow this breath, and said, "You go and call your eldest brother to me." Knowing that Zhao Changqing didn't let people do it, Mrs. Xia spoke to her son first.

Aunt Xia said, "Tell Mama Zhang to go, otherwise my sister-in-law won't have to think much about it when she sees me, thinking that I am talking too much to my mother." ”

Mrs. Xia glanced at her eldest daughter and told Mama Zhang to go.

Mr. Xia also drank a lot, and just after falling asleep at this time, Mrs. Xia asked Mama Zhang, "What is the matter?" The old man fell asleep at this time. ”

Mama Zhang smiled, "Since the master has slept, the wife used to be the same." ”

Mrs. Xia also wanted to take a break, but Mrs. Xia called someone, so she had to change her clothes and go over. Mrs. Xia didn't say anything polite to Mrs. Xia, and directly told her about the birthday gift. Mrs. Xia didn't like to listen to what she said, and said, "It's not like me has a birthday, but like they have a birthday." It's not that I haven't seen anything, and I'm not bad for those two jujubes, but I don't care about it anymore. You say, isn't it? ”

Mrs. Xia said, "The daughter-in-law is not this kind of person, I don't know which mouthy person came to the old lady to spread rumors, but misunderstood the daughter-in-law." ”

Aunt Xia couldn't hold back her mouth, "This is what I saw, do I still want to make a rumor about my nephew and daughter-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Xia said, "If you want me to say, I don't recognize the wives and grandmothers who came, and most of them came to see Brother Wen'er's face." To come and go is to come and go. Today's old lady is too old, people give gifts, tomorrow's old lady is too old, the gifts are still exchanged, and they have to be returned. Brother Wen'er is in charge of their own affairs, and it is not wrong for them to dispose of it. If the old lady wants it, the child is not shallow-eyed, and it is easy to send it to the old lady, and it will be troublesome for the old lady to go to the gift in the future. The old lady looked, why don't you call Brother Wen's daughter-in-law to come and ask her? ”

Mrs. Xia came to the imperial capital by herself, and she didn't have to pay for other money, the imperial capital was expensive, and even the money for the kitchen was also an expense. Therefore, as soon as Aunt Xia said that the birthday gift was received by Zhao Changqing in the treasury, Mrs. Xia immediately became angry. Now hearing Mrs. Xia say this, Mrs. Xia was speechless for a moment, if the family is Mrs. Xia, what does her old man say, even if she can't eat, the eldest son doesn't dare to say anything. But the grandchildren are different, Zhao Changqing has always been able to do it, and Mrs. Xia had to say coldly, "I'm just asking, since she understands everything, let her deal with it, and I don't lack those things." ”

Mrs. Xia listened silently, and Mrs. Xia said impatiently, "You can also go and rest." ”

Mrs. Xia retired in silence.

Aunt Xia patted her thighs and chattered anxiously, "Is it okay for my mother to do this?" Mother doesn't know how many good things there are. ”

"Shut up." Mrs. Xia reprimanded, "No matter how many good things there are, they are not for nothing." Brother Wen has these favors, don't you have to pay it back? Don't stare at these two jujubes all day long, to put it mildly, it's not all our things. ”

Mrs. Xia couldn't afford to provoke Zhao Changqing, and Aunt Xia couldn't afford to provoke her, so she had to keep silent.

Zhao Changqing knew about this, but just smiled and didn't say anything. There are no rules, especially if a family lives, these rules are better to be set up earlier.

She was thinking about what Xia Gongren said about Su Wensu Gong, and Da Su Tanhua, who died early, could it be that Su Bai's life experience is related to Da Su Tanhua?

Xia Wen slept until the evening, and only woke up when he had dinner, Zhao Changqing talked about this, Xia Wen was also on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, and said, "There are many people who have said that Ah Bai and Da Su Tanhua statue, the same bloodline, and an old ancestor, it is inevitable." ”

Zhao Changqing asked, "Who is that Da Su Tanhua?" ”

"The only son of Duke Su Wensu, his knowledge is first-class, I saw his Tai|Ancestral History Scroll in Hanlin, and his literary collection was first-class, but he didn't live long, and he passed away very early." Xia Wen took a sip of honey and said, "The elders of the Hanlin Academy all like Ah Bai, and when they heard that Da Su Tanhua was alive, they had a friendship with Qi Shilang. Ah Bai's family affairs, if you can't say it, you will be stained with the light of his appearance. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Ah Bai doesn't have to say anything about his own talent. ”

Xia Wen said, "The Su family has always been a scholar. "The ideal of a scholar is not necessarily those princes and wealthy families, such as the Su family, a scholarly family is their yearning.

Zhao Changqing no longer mentioned the matter of Da Su Tanhua, and said with a smile, "In a few days, it will be the Longevity Festival, like you Hanlin Do you want to prepare a longevity ceremony." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "The grade is not enough, and only the officials before the fifth grade are qualified to give birthday gifts to His Majesty." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, and said in his heart that it would save a fortune.

Xia Wen said, "By the way, there is another thing, it will be the Midyear Festival in two days, we are not in our hometown, and we can't go to burn paper in front of the grave of our ancestors." My mother said that she wanted to go to Xishan Temple to do a ritual. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "This should also be." I'll listen to what my wife means in a while, and I have to go to the temple in advance to say hello, so that there is a room in the temple, otherwise the old lady will be old, and I am afraid that I can't afford it after a long time. There is a place to rest, and you are not afraid to stay in the temple for a while. ”

The two talked about some trivial matters, they were busy all day today, they were a little tired, they had dinner, and they rested early.
