Chapter Forty-Six: The Villa Makes a Birthday
On this day, the sky was beautiful, the sun was shining but there was no wind, and a large area of mountain chrysanthemums were planted on the sunny slopes of Ziyun Mountain. The girls are enjoying chrysanthemums in the pavilion of Ziyun Villa, eating refreshments and chatting.
Outside the pavilion, the little girl made a fire with silver filigree carbon, and used a small clay stove to boil mountain spring water to cook the new tea grown in the villa.
The eldest princess was also very satisfied when she saw the scriptures copied by Yao Yanyu, so she asked Yao Fengge, "How is your sister's illness?" ”
Yao Fengge hurriedly replied with a smile: "There is the eldest princess Lao who is concerned, and my sister has taken Mr. Bai's medicine but it has worked, but it is slower." If it's all right, it will be a few days. Now he is only recuperating in Zhuangzi. ”
"That's fine. That child is blessed, and this little illness and disaster are not hindered. The eldest princess said, and looked at Su Yuxin beside her with a smile, "Yu'er has a very good temper with her, and she will go to the Cixin Nunnery with people in a hurry that day, making the city full of wind and rain." ”
Su Yuxuan smiled and grabbed the eldest princess's arm and coquettishly: "People are also worried about Sister Yao's illness." ”
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "The third girl is kind-hearted and a good child. ”
The eldest princess touched Su Yuxuan's charming little face lovingly, and sighed: "Hey! You say that she has a small temperament, and I don't know what kind of person she can find in the future to reassure. ”
Mrs. Lu quietly glanced at the Feng family, and the Feng family hurriedly smiled: "This year, the general of Zhenguo Gong has won the victory and returned to the dynasty, and there are not dozens of young generals under him, but there are more than a dozen, these young generals are now hot, and the families of all the princes are secretly choosing good sons-in-law." ”
As soon as Su Yuxuan heard this, he blushed and whispered, "I'll go and see if the tea is not good." He hurried out.
The eldest princess shook her head gently: "The generals under Zhenguo Gong are naturally all good men. It's just that our son is already a straightforward character, and if we find a general, I'm afraid that the two of us won't be able to live together. Her temperament should still find a personality and a soft and delicate reader to live well. ”
Mrs. Lu nodded when she heard this, and Feng Shi stopped talking. However, Sun's eyes flashed with a little joy, as if he had realized some mystery.
Although the birthday banquet could not be blatantly arranged, the wife of Feng Shaoping, a university scholar of the Feng family's maiden cabinet, and the wife of Sun Yu, the waiter of the Sun family's maiden rite department, all brought their daughters-in-law and daughters who had not left the cabinet to join in the fun.
When people arrived outside the villa, someone had already reported in, and Mrs. Lu said please, and got up to greet her in person. Although Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Sun's orders are lower than Mrs. Lu's, but the two families are sons and daughters, and they made a special trip to Zhuangzi to rush over.
Mrs. Lu walked out to greet her, and the Feng family, the Sun family, and Yao Fengge couldn't slack off, so they hurriedly got up and followed.
After a while, Mrs. Feng took her daughter-in-law Feng Li, her concubine Feng Xiuyun, and Mrs. Sun brought her daughter-in-law Sun Yang and youngest son Sun Jingyao to come in to salute the eldest princess, and the juniors bowed to Mrs. Lu three times, and then greeted each other with their brothers and sisters in private.
For a while, the small gazebo was crowded with people, you talked, laughed, and laughed, so lively. While laughing, Sun took his fifteen-year-old brother Sun Jingyao to the eldest princess to meet alone.
Sun Jingyao is a well-behaved child, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he is a little weak. The eldest princess looked at it a few times, asked her age with a smile, and said that she was really handsome, and told Sun: "You should ask someone to send this child to the side of the deceased son, and tell them to take care of it." ”
Su Jinxuan took Sun Jingyao's hand, and his uncle screamed and did not let go. Sun had no choice but to ask the nurse to follow Sun Jingyao. Mrs. Lu listened to this, and beckoned Su Jinxuan: "Xuan'er is back!" ”
Su Jin saw her grandmother's call, so she reluctantly let go of her uncle's hand, and ran back to lean on Mrs. Lu's arms. Mrs. Sun smiled and praised the little grandson for being really sensible, just listening to his grandmother. Mrs. Lu naturally hugged her eldest grandson and smiled happily.
Over there, Su Jinyun snuggled in the arms of her grandmother, Mrs. Feng, chattering, making Mrs. Feng laugh all the time, and Feng Li also said something on the side, Su Jinyun giggled with her arms around her grandmother's neck.
Everyone laughed happily, but Yao Fengge was a little sullen, none of the people in this pavilion were her close relatives.
Yao Fu gave Mrs. Lu a birthday gift this year is a nephew of the Yao family's side branch, Yao Yanen received an errand in Jiangning, Yao Yanyi is busy with next year's Spring Festival, and the two brothers are not available to enter Beijing.
At this time, Yao Fengge remembered more and more of Yao Yanyu's goodness. She really hopes that there will be another unmarried fourth young master in Dinghou Mansion, even if it is a concubine, so that Yao Yanyu can be hired in openly, and the two sisters will become concubines, so they can have a place to rely on.
While they were laughing, there was a loud cheer on the grass by the lake below the mountain. The eldest princess turned her head to look over and said with a smile, "What are they playing?" It's so hilarious. ”
Su Yuxuan came in from outside with the maids carrying tea, she brought the tea cup in her hand to the eldest princess, and said with a smile: "The three elder brothers are playing with the princes and major generals of various provinces." ”
"Can the pitcher be so lively?" The eldest princess didn't believe it much.
A little girl from outside came in and replied: "It's the idea of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, saying that whoever throws more arrows into the pot at a time ten steps away will win." Just now, the prince threw five long arrows into it. So everybody is applauding. ”
The eldest princess was even more happy, said yes in a loud voice, and said to Su Yuxing: "Let's play too, your sisters-in-law and Miss Feng are together, there are more people playing this lively." ”
So a girl carried a big blue and white amphora to put in the open space outside the pavilion, Feng was solemn, only served tea next to Mrs. Lu, and called his sister-in-law to play, and Sun pushed his brother and daughter-in-law to Yao Fengge: "Third brother and sister, you take her to play, I'll go to Zhang Luo for a meal." ”
Yao Fengge had to let go of his emotions, cheered up, and took a few relatives and concubines, Su Yuyun, Feng Xiuyun, and the chattering Su Jinyun to play outside the pavilion and throw pots.
The group of sons who played together on the grass under the mountain were the three sons of the Su family, Yun Kun, the son of King Cheng, Han Entropy, the prince of Zhenguo Gongfu and his younger brother Han Entropy, Sun Jingyao, the brother of the Sun family, and Wei Zhang and He Xi who were invited by Su Yuping.
Wei Zhang was reluctant to come, but Su Yuping invited him again and again. also told Mrs. Lu's birthday, and Han Entropy dragged him again, and prepared a departure for him, so he couldn't shirk it and had to follow. But the game of pitching pots is like child's play for him, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.
Su Yuping pulled Han Entropy and the two of them must be up and down, Wei Zhang smiled, went to the side and brought tea, and looked at the manor while drinking tea. I thought that when it was unexpected, the industry of the Waiting House, this Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the momentum is magnificent, which is really a good place for self-cultivation. No wonder the girl of the Yao family was sick and didn't want to go back to the city, so she would rather spend a few thousand taels of silver to buy a village on the outskirts of the city to live.
