Chapter 180: Birth

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the birthdays of Yang Weixiao and Jing Ci are coming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After this year's birthday, Yang Weixiao will be eighteen and Jing Ci will be seventeen. The birthday of the junior is insignificant in the Yang Mansion, and there is no need to set up a banquet for the whole mansion.

The difference between Yang Weiwei and Jing Ci's birth dates is only a few days, and on Yang Wei's birthday, their biological mother Wang Wan asked them to send the two of them to Yuyin Courtyard for dinner.

Yuyin-in.

Mother and daughter gathered around a table with drinks and hearty dishes, and for the first time in years, the three sat at the same table.

"Today is Sanniang's birthday, anyway, your sisters' birthdays are similar, today is supposed to be a celebration of the two of you's birthday, seventeen or eighteen years, fortunately, you have grown up safely." Wang Wan sat on the throne and looked at her two daughters, who were rarely close, and her face was rarely soft.

Aunt A Yuan presented two delicate brocade boxes to Wang Wan, Wang Wan opened them one by one, inside are two identical white jade bracelets, the jade bracelets are exquisitely clear, the two ends are inlaid with gilt, decorated with moire, and the moire is a small gem, exquisite.

Wang Wan took out one of the bracelets and put it on for Yang Weiwei with her own hands, and the jade bracelet took advantage of Yang Weiwei's white and delicate skin.

"Thank you, Auntie." Yang Weiwei said with a smile from the bottom of her heart.

Wang Wan took another one, took Jing Ci's hand, and was about to put it on, when she found that she already had a smooth and clear jade bracelet on her wrist, "This is ......"

Jing Ci glanced down and said truthfully: "This is what my father gave me when I was in time." ”

Wang Wan nodded, then put the gilt inlaid gem-inlaid white jade bracelet in her hand back into the brocade box, closed the lid and handed it to Jing Ci.

"Thank you, Auntie." Jing Ci took it with both hands.

After dinner, the maid served tea, and before she had time to take a sip, Wang Wan got up and said, "It's time for me to chant Buddha, you can do it yourself." ”

Yang Weiwei and Jing Ci glanced at each other at each other, and Fang returned, "Yes." ”

Ah Yuan came up with some honey juice and steamed pears, and said with a soft smile: "Wan Niang will chant the scriptures at this hour every day, and she can't stop for an hour, so Sanniang and Siniang will eat some pears." ”

The two of them ate a few bites, and when they saw Wang Wan chanting the scriptures in the Buddhist room, they got up and said goodbye to Aunt Ayuan, and said that they would come to visit A-Niang another day. Ah Yuan personally sent the two little masters to the gate of Yuyin Courtyard before turning around and returning to the house.

It was already dark, and the lanterns in the house were lit by the servants, and the orange and yellow warm lamps were reflected on the faces of the beauties, warm and beautiful.

Jing Ci and Yang Weiwei walked back to their respective courtyards side by side, Jing Ci lowered his head and looked at the white jade bracelet in the third sister's hand, and then looked at the exquisite brocade box he was holding...... After all, today is only the third sister's birthday.

"Where's my gift?" At the fork in the road leading to the Yuan and Sheng Yuan, Yang Weixiao looked at Jing Ci with a playful and vivid tone.

"I don't have anything to give to the third sister......"

"You shouldn't be unprepared, are you?" Yang Weixiao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Jing Zi smiled suddenly, "That's not all." ”

The young girl in the back stepped forward, took out a picture scroll like a trick, and handed it to Yang Weiwei behind her with both hands.

"Some time ago, I accidentally got it while walking through the streets and alleys, saying that it was the painting "Spring Tour" by Zhan Ziqian of the previous dynasty, I couldn't appreciate it, and it was just right to give it to the third sister as a birthday gift."

"Yes, that's exactly what I want, thank you. After all, today is not your birthday, and I will give you a gift on your birthday. ”

"Okay."

The two smiled and parted at the fork in the road, going back to their respective yards.

…………

No, the fourth day of the seventh month.

Jing Ci got up early today, and inexplicably, she had a hunch that there would be more things today, so she woke up naturally early.

The young girl dresses up for the master, and the breakfast is passed on in the new year, everything is as usual and orderly.

As soon as the maid removed the leftover breakfast, Jing Ci smelled that several aunts were coming.

The maids in the courtyard were all surprised, why did the aunts who had never stepped into the courtyard come here today? Thinking about it, could it be that they are all here to congratulate the master's birthday?

Sure enough, several aunts walked into the house with the maid, and the maid presented a delicate and gorgeous gift box in her hand.

"Siniang has a happy birthday, I wish Siniang all the best-" Everyone who entered the house congratulated together.

Jing Ci smiled lightly, "Jing Ci, thank you aunts, a few aunts are polite." ”

"Today is Siniang's birthday, I have prepared a thin gift, I hope Siniang likes it." Aunt Yun smiled and raised her hand, and the maid behind her stepped forward, gently opened the gift box in her hand, and a plum blossom palace fan inlaid with gold wire was revealed in front of her eyes, the fan bone was made of jade, Xiangfei bamboo, ivory and other materials, and the fan was painted with a picture of a lady, the lady combed a luxurious peacock open screen bun, and the jade hand held a Kong Ming lantern, the phoenix eyes were bright, and she looked forward to life.

This picture is different from the ordinary lady picture, Jing Ci smiled a little deeper, "Thank you Aunt Yun." ”

"And mine." Aunt Wan also gestured to the maid behind her.

…………

After the gifts were presented to Jing Ci one by one, Jing Ci was blessed again, "Thank you aunts for your love, you came to the courtyard early in the morning, and gave such a precious gift." ”

"A little small gift, talk about your heart, Siniang is the heir in charge of our Yang Mansion, and we should come over to congratulate us." Aunt Yun's full face was full of smiles, and her eyes were shining.

"Aunts, please sit down, Fang Nian, and serve tea."

As soon as a few aunts took their seats, a maid came in to spread the word that Yu Xi came.

After a while, Yu Xi walked in slowly with a maid, and after entering, he glanced at the aunts with an expressionless face, and then respectfully saluted, with a loud and pleasant voice, "I wish Siniang a happy birthday and good luck." ”

"Thank you, please."

Yu Xi stood up straight, raised his hand to the maid behind him, and said to Jing Ci: "This is a birthday gift from the eldest lady to the slave maid, I hope it can meet Siniang's heart." ”

"Thank you for me, eldest sister."

Yu Xi glanced at the aunts in the seat, and the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, "I heard the chatter and laughter of several ladies outside, and the ladies are really lively and rubbing, even ......" She stared at Aunt Yun, who had already belonged to Yang Shouyan, and sneered, "Yun Niangzi, who has always disliked being lively, is also here." ”

Aunt Yun unconsciously tugged at her palm and pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, "I just came with the sisters." ”

"Don't talk about us, aren't you here too?" Aunt He smiled and said loudly, her words were sarcastic.

"It's normal for the eldest lady to give a birthday gift to her sister, but it's a few aunts...... Really see the wind make the rudder. "Yu Xi is a first-class girl next to Yang Shouyan, and she is not afraid of them at all.

"Yu Xi, you misunderstood when you said that......"

…………

They argued a few words, and Yu Xi simply said goodbye, she couldn't talk about those aunts.

The aunts didn't sit down much, and the kung fu of a cup of tea also took their leave.

Rui'er hugged Wangxi into the house, saying that she wanted Xiao Wangxi to congratulate the fourth aunt on her birthday. Jing Ci couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Xiao Wangxi, who was less than a year old and holding his fists, so he took her into his arms and coaxed her happily.

was coaxing, Fang Nian came in with a brocade box, saying that Xue Erlang ordered someone to send it. Jing Ci held the giggling Wangxi in both hands, looked up, and raised his hand to put it aside.

Xue Chongjian has a heart, remembers Jing Ci's birthday every year, and sends birthday gifts on time when he returns.

Cui Lu made an appointment with Jing Ci a few days ago, and met in Changquelou this afternoon. After lunch, Jing Ci went out of the house wearing a skirt, stepped into the carriage, and went to the appointment, accompanied only Fang Nian.

In the afternoon, Changque Tower was quite lively, and Jing Cixuan sat down in the private room on the second floor.

Xiao Er immediately greeted him, "Lady, what do you use?" ”

"A pot of Changxing purple bamboo shoots, crystal dragon and phoenix cakes, and steamed pears in honey." Jing Ci said.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Every time Jing Ci goes to Cui's house, Cui Lu drinks purple bamboo shoot tea. What famous tea does Cui Zhai have? But he loves purple bamboo shoots alone.

Xiao Er brought the refreshments in a moment, Jing Ci unconsciously looked towards the lobby, seeing that the hour was almost up, and he didn't even see Cui Lu's figure.

Jing Ci picked up the chopsticks and slowly ate the snacks on the table......

It's a pity that nearly half of the food is eaten, and there is still no one to come. Jing Ci kept glancing downstairs, an hour had passed, he wouldn't forget it, right?

"Little Er, it's the wrong dish." Fang Nian suddenly spoke.

Jing Ci's attention was drawn back to the table, and he saw that in addition to a pot of purple bamboo shoots, crystal dragon and phoenix cakes, and a plate of steamed pears with honey, there was also a plate of Yuhuang Queen Mother's rice with exquisite workmanship and rich appearance.

"Lady, that's right, this is a Langjun who ordered it for you, saying to celebrate your birthday." Xiao Er bent down and said with a smile, as soon as the voice stopped, another Xiao Er came up with another plate of dishes, this time it was a phoenix fetus.

Jing Ci nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with laughter.

At this time, the dancers on the stage downstairs lined up and walked out slowly, with the sound of silk and bamboo, twisting their waists, long sleeves fluttering, all dressed solemnly and beautifully, a man wearing a mask slowly walked out from among the dancers, holding a short sword in his hand, dancing neatly, the man was vigorous, the dancing posture was beautiful, and the cooperation of the dancers and the sound of silk and bamboo beating, the scene was beautiful and grand, quite moving.

The guests downstairs applauded from time to time, and if they can dance at such a level, the dancers must have a good kung fu.

The dance moves speed up with the rhythm of the melody......

Da Da Da –

Da Da ......

Da!

The sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly, and the dance was suddenly closed, fast and accurate, clean and neat, and full of grace at the same time. Before the guests had time to applaud, the man led the dancers and said, "I wish Yang Siniang a good birthday——"

Jing Ci was stunned, it turned out that she was coming at her.

The man on the stage looked up at Jing Ci, slowly took off his mask, and a handsome facial features appeared in front of everyone......

Jing Ci's palms couldn't help but tighten.

"Guest officer, your 'Su Steaming Voice' is here—" The two little two walked in cautiously with a big dish.

This big dish, which is wrapped in various vegetables from the dough, has become a full seventy maiko with different expressions, dancing in different postures, some holding the pipa, some sitting cross-legged and stroking the qin, and some holding a flute...... Lifelike, like a Penglai fairy.

After this big dish was carefully placed on the table, the two little two congratulated, "I wish Yang Siniang a good birthday——"

The man who was still on the stage just now appeared in front of Jing Ci at this moment, with a gentle and smiling face, and slowly walked towards her.
