Chapter 24: The Family Feast

Xu is really tired of supervising the maids to clean the garden, plant trees and flowers in the past few days, accompanied by the warm breeze and the sound of cicadas in the distance, Wu Tianrou lay on the chaise longue, with a silk quilt on her body, and slept very soundly.

Cui Ping and Cui Zhi, who were guarding the house, saw the sweetness of Wu Tianrou's sleep, and hurriedly walked to the side room of the side compartment lightly, for fear of interfering with her rest.

Sitting on the small couch in the side room, Cuiping embroidered a handkerchief, while raising her eyes from time to time to look at the hourglass on the small table, and occasionally listened to the voice inside, paying attention to whether Wu Tianrou woke up.

Soon, an hour passed, and just as Cuizhi had just woken up from a nap and was stretching her waist, there was a sound in the courtyard outside the door.

Cuiping motioned to Cuizhi to pay attention to the movement in the inner room, casually put down the half-embroidered handkerchief, got up and walked out of the room.

"It turns out that Sister Amber is here, is Madame looking for Miss?"

Seeing that the person who came over was Mrs. Wu's personal maid Amber, Cui Ping hurriedly raised her hand and opened the curtain and beckoned her to come in and sit.

"The eldest lady is still asleep, right? I won't go in, it was my wife who asked me to pass the word, saying that I had already started to set the meal, and today I was all my own relatives, and asked the young lady to come to the flower hall in half an hour. Oh, by the way, the eldest aunt and the aunt are also back with the young master and the young lady. ”

Smiling at Cui Ping, Amber waved her hand, and after she finished talking about it, she turned around and walked out.

"There's a lot of going on on Madame's side, so I'll leave first, remember not to let Miss be late, after all, there are guests here."

"Sister Amber, don't worry, I can save it, and it will never go wrong."

Watching Amber walk out of the courtyard with a smile, Cui Ping hurriedly turned back to the side room and called Cui Zhi, and the two walked back to the inner room lightly.

When she entered the inner room, Cui Ping saw that Wu Tianrou had woken up, and she was leaning on the chaise longue and looking at them with her eyes open.

"Miss woke up, and Amber came, saying that Madame's side has started to set the meal, and let Miss go over in half an hour."

Hurriedly beckoned Cui Zhi to prepare face wash, Cui Ping stepped forward to serve Wu Tianrou and sat up.

"Well, I heard it all, so my aunt's family has also arrived, right?"

In fact, as early as when Amber came over, Wu Tianrou had already woken up, but she was still a little weak when she woke up, so she didn't get up.

"Yes, it is said that the young master and the young lady are here, this time it is the old lady's sixtieth birthday, and the heavenly family also sent the prince to celebrate the birthday, this is a great honor, relatives from all parties are here, this year is really going to be a big deal!"

Serving Wu Tianrou with Cuizhi cleaned her hands and face, Cuiping helped Wu Tingrou to sit in front of the dresser and began to comb her hair again.

"Yes, there are not many opportunities to meet the nobles of the Heavenly Family, especially the sisters in each room are also older, it seems that everyone is a little thoughtful......"

Looking at her delicate face in the well-made and polished bronze mirror, Wu Tianrou couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a sneer.

"What does Miss mean is that these relatives are not only here to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but also to get close to the royal family?"

Looking at Wu Tianrou's cheeks, which were still a little pink because she had just woken up, Cuiping's face was a little surprised.

"Cuiping, this is just here to say, you must not spread it when you go out!"

Mother Wu, who was carrying a plate of grapes, walked in, and happened to hear Cui Ping's words, she put the fruit on the table and walked to the dresser.

"Miss too, there are some things that we can understand in our hearts, there is no need to put it bluntly, bring trouble to yourself for no reason. Besides, you can see these things clearly, not to mention the old lady and the old lady, their hearts are even more mirror-like! ”

Glaring at Wu Tianrou with a smile, Wu's mother came up to take over Cuiping's work and combed Wu Tianrou's black hair.

"Mother Wu, don't worry, I can save these things, isn't this in our own yard, I am at ease with my mother's ability, knowing that there are no dissidents in our yard except for Cuixue."

Bending her eyes and patting Wu's mother's hand holding the wooden comb, Wu Tianrou picked the corners of her mouth.

"And there are some things I think I have to let Cuiping know some things too, so that they don't panic when they encounter trouble, and they won't understand anything and be used as a gun in vain."

"What Miss said also makes sense, after all, they are the closest people to Miss, and it will be inconvenient for Miss if they are not strong."

After listening to Wu Tianrou's words, Wu's mother nodded, which was considered to approve of her idea.

"It seems that I have time to talk to the three of them, they are not small, this young lady is almost time to say goodbye, when the time comes, they will accompany the young lady to marry, I don't know anything, how to help the young lady manage the house!"

"Why did Mother Wu say that she came here, I still want to spend a few more years with my family!"

couldn't help but show a shy expression, Wu Tianrou's heart was actually a little stinging, because when she heard that she was married, she still couldn't help but think of Situ Jingxuan, and remembered that marriage that seemed to be happy but was actually a nightmare.

"It's not too early, let's hurry up and prepare. Cui Ping, take out my turquoise dress, I'll wear it to dinner. ”

Quickly interrupting Mother Wu's words, Wu Tianrou instructed Cui Ping, who was looking through the wardrobe on the side.

"So many relatives have arrived today, why doesn't Miss dress freshly?"

Taking the turquoise dress, Cui Ping looked at Wu Tianrou, who stood up and was about to change her clothes.

"This dress is very good, refreshing and not too plain, anyway, there are those cousins and cousins today, you don't have to worry about not seeing bright colors!"

Pursing her lips and smiling, Wu Tianrou raised her arm, and Wu's mother and Cui Ping helped her put on her dress.

"Miss has really grown up, she looks so good when she dresses up a little, and I don't know which son's son will be cheaper in the future!"

Looking at Wu Tianrou, who was wearing light makeup, wearing a blue light-grained butterfly pattern skirt, and combing her hair in a hanging bun, Mother Wu couldn't help but smile and nodded.

I saw Wu Tianrou standing there, two strands of hair naturally hanging down on her shoulders, and the turquoise dress set off her little face pink, red lips and white teeth, and her big eyes were watery like a blue spring.

"Okay, come, it's even better to put this plain blouse on."

Handing a translucent silkworm gauze in her hand to Cuiping, Mother Wu looked at Wu Tianrou who put on the yarn and nodded again and again with a satisfied face.

Even the cuizhi on the side looked straight, and hurriedly ran to the side and brought a small bronze mirror for Wu Tianrou to take care of.

casually looked in the mirror, after a lifetime, Wu Tianrou was not so persistent on the outside. After a brief check that there was no problem with her clothes, Wu Tianrou took Cui Ping and Cui Zhi to Mrs. Wu's courtyard. xh.212
