Chapter 278: Moyu Birthday Star
The Qin family hasn't been so lively for a long time.
In the spacious and bright hall of Fangcao Garden, there are two large round tables that can accommodate about ten people, and the women who sit in it are all female dependents, Fang Shi is sitting in the middle, Fang Wanru is sitting on her left, Qin Fengge is sitting on the right, Qin Qianxin, Qin Daixin, Qin Ruoxin, and even the fifth lady Qin Peixin, who has rarely participated in this kind of thing, is also there, in the end, she is a year older, and her behavior is already very good, which is very different from the previous appearance of cringing, Fang Shi looked straight and said yes, and there was a real liking in his eyes.
Since ancient times, men and women have different tables at the age of seven, the Qin family has few rules, and there are few people, and the previous family banquets were all gathered together, and it was lively to watch, but today because Qin Fengge is here, Gongsun Jin is also there, a table banquet is split into two tables, and a six-fan landscape map screen is added between the two tables.
On the table outside, Qin Congwen was the leader, Qin Zicheng was sitting on the left, Gongsun Jin was on the right, and then Qin Zixin. Brother Yi is still young, so he can't participate in such a banquet, Qin Congwen looked at the few men sitting on the table, and a strong sense of loss welled up in his heart.
The Qin family, the people are not prosperous, according to his age, he should have been promoted to a grandfather a long time ago, but if you look at him, he only has three sons, and one is a little smaller, grandson, thinking of the Lin family's small birth, Qin Congwen sighed again, when and what month can he become a grandfather? Maybe listen to Madame, hurry up and marry the daughter of the Qi family and enter the door, and rush to the bad luck?
Qin Congwen's expression fell little by little in the eyes of his eldest son, Qin Zicheng sighed slightly, where could he not understand his father's thoughts, but he really just wanted Qingyue to give birth to a child for himself, as the eldest grandson of the Qin family, he knew that his idea was ridiculous, for the prosperity of the Qin family's heirs, he could not start from the beginning. I have to live like a stallion under the skirts of a group of women, such a life, sad!
Qin Zicheng forcibly suppressed the thoughts of turning the river and the sea in his heart and the grief of losing his child, and pulled out a bitter smile to Gongsun Jin and said: "Cousin, I toast you, our brothers haven't been together for a long time, come." ”
Someone poured a full glass of wine for Qin Zicheng and Gongsun Jin.
"I respect you." Qin Zicheng picked up the wine glass and gestured to Gongsun Jin, and then drank it all.
The wine was even more sorrowful, and the bitterness in his mouth could not be dissolved, stinging Qin Zicheng's eyes. He wanted to cry.
Gongsun Jin took a sip of his wine glass, and a malicious smile appeared on his overly white face. "Cousin, don't be too sad, this kid, I'll have it again in the future." The uncle's family is not prosperous, and there is no son or grandson. Okay, it's better for the people of the Qin family to die, so that he can get the Qin family's property and the Qin family's daughter.
Gongsun Jin daydreamed, and his face showed a bit of greed.
"Uh-huh!"
Qin Congwen knows his nephew, he has been spoiled by his sister since he was a child. It's all all that mess in my head, and if it's usual, it's nothing to make a few jokes. At a time like this, it's really not appropriate for him to talk nonsense without words.
Probably receiving a warning from his uncle, Gongsun Jin rolled his eyes and quickly changed the topic, "Come on, come on." Brother, I'll give you a drink. ”
Qin Zicheng took the wine glass without hesitation, and drank it again.
Who knows the bitterness of his heart?
The atmosphere was a little dreary for a while. Qin Zixin silently watched the interaction between the two brothers on the side, and his eyebrows were unconsciously twisted.
The eldest brother is too cowardly, whatever his father says, he is obviously unhappy, but he doesn't dare to resist, but then again, if he says it himself, does he dare?
Since he was taught a lesson by Qin Daixin last time, Qin Zixin has thought about a lot of things, and has also discussed a lot with his teacher, he gradually understands that reading is not the most important thing in the world, no matter how good a person reads, but his brain is dead, so what's the use? If you don't know how to apply what you have learned, you can only talk on paper, and such a scholar will not have a great future.
Since then, Qin Zixin has changed a lot, his temperament is more cheerful, and he is not so shy, but the timidity that has gone deep into his bones from childhood to adulthood is not so easy to change, and he still needs time.
Everyone at this table had all kinds of thoughts, and everyone kept their faces calm and did not speak, only cared about drinking, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing for a while.
On the other side of the screen, Fang's smiled and tasted Jufuzhai's vegetarian dishes, and from time to time motioned to Mother Wan to clip some dishes for Qin Fengge.
"Taste this, nourishing yin." Fang's words were not much, but he looked very happy, and he couldn't see the previous haze at all. There seems to be no estrangement between him and Wan's mother.
Qin Dai looked at the people at the table quietly, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in her heart.
Qin Fengge smiled, she didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction, could the previous unhappiness have made her throw out of the clouds.
The Fang clan will repay it, Qin Fengge's heart is not big, they have always hated to strangle themselves, how can they talk and laugh in front of themselves, and be content?
Qin Fengge is a shallow-bottomed plate, and you can see through it at a glance with or without water.
"Mother, you can eat it too, this is the best." Qin Fengge personally served the Fang family with vegetables, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all uncontrollable smiles, and she also deliberately glanced at Qin Daixin, looking like she was watching a good show.
Qin Dai's heart tightened, and somehow she thought of the Su family.
With Xue Qing here, will she be in danger?
The odds are not great, but even if it's only a 1 in 1,000 chance, she won't allow it.
After thinking about it, Qin Daixin called Ruyi and ordered directly: "What I asked you to bring, show it to grandmother." ”
Ruyi was shocked, she knew that Qin Daixin didn't let her take anything to the Fang clan at all, but why would Miss say that? Ruyi's mind moved, and she quickly knelt down and said, "I'm sorry Miss, the slave forgot about it." ”
Qin Daixin breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was very unsightly. "That was specially given to her grandmother by the eldest princess, you girl...... "I hate iron but not steel."
Ruyi's tears came down, but she was actually anxious, "Miss, slave, slave and maid, go back and get it." ”
Fang raised his eyelids, "What's the matter?" Do you need to compete with the girl? There was a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Qin Daixin knew that it was the three words "eldest princess" that played a role, she bowed her head and said: "It was the eldest princess who heard that her granddaughter had a grandmother, and the eldest princess said, 'There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure', I specially instructed my granddaughter to take a black jade birthday star to honor you, I had already packed it and put it in the box, and told this girl to take it, who knew that she forgot it." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Fang's spirit came. He asked carefully: "How could the eldest princess give me this Moyu birthday star." ”
Qin Dai said sullenly: "The eldest princess was very fond of the Empress Dowager Renxiao when she was a child, probably because she missed her grandmother, so she felt it." ”
Fang Shi smiled and nodded, "That's right, today's saints govern the country with filial piety, and this filial piety is the foundation of our Dayong Kingdom." ”
She said something, and of course Qin Daixin could hear it.
"Oh, mother, the eldest princess personally gave you something, this matter is really long for our Qin family's face, let that girl take it for us to see." Qin Feng Gele is like a chrysanthemum. I can't hold back my heart and want to see this Jade Ink Guanyin.
"Okay, okay, don't let these little things get you in the way." The Fang family was also very happy, although she was from an official family. But the most beautiful thing has been in the previous life, and when it comes to her generation, the Fang family has not enjoyed any real glory.
It is also an honor to be rewarded by the eldest princess.
Qin Dai pretended to drink Ruyi, but in fact, he didn't use much strength. "Did you hear that, why don't you invite the black jade birthday star given by the princess?"
Ruyi nodded, and her heart became more and more entangled, did Miss really just ask her to take the Moyu birthday star? Why did she feel so wrong? Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to stop at all, "The slave and maid will go." ”
Ruyi straightened the hem of her skirt. Hurried out.
"Wait a minute." Qin Dai stopped Ruyi viciously and said, "That Moyu birthday star is looking for Lingzi to get it, and it is put together with a pair of long-lived golden locks." The two boxes are exactly the same, don't get it wrong. ”
Ruyi was very nervous when she heard this, and she silently recited it in her heart before she said, "The slave and maid remember, I'll go right away." ”
"Don't be frizzy. Hold it firm. ”
"Ugh." Ruyi turned around and walked out of the main hall, took a deep breath before going to Changxiao Garden. She thought as she walked. I couldn't figure out Miss's hint until I returned to Changxiaoyuan, and Ruyi was still like being in a dream.
"Reiko, Reiko."
"Alas, Sister Ruyi, I'm here." Seeing Ruyi walking in in a hurry, Lingzi quickly asked, "Sister Ruyi, what's wrong?" Isn't it Miss ......" Although the contact has not been for a long time, Reiko knows that Ruyi is a steady person, if it is not at a critical juncture, how can she be so flustered.
In addition to Miss, who else can Sister Ruyi panic for? That's why she asked, "Is something wrong with Miss?" ”
Ruyi shook his head again and again, "No, there is not much time, you listen to me......"
Ruyi learned what happened in the hall from Reiko as it was.
"Miss didn't say anything for Mrs. Tai before, I think Miss has something else, you help me think about it, is there something wrong with Miss to say in front of them?"
Qin Daixin's affairs in the capital, Ruyi didn't know, but Lingzi knew, what kind of Moyu birthday star was rewarded by the eldest princess? This is just the rhetoric of the young lady prevaricating outsiders, and the big car of things are all added by the prince to the young lady, what does it have to do with the eldest princess?
It seems that this thing is really strange, but since the young lady said that she would give away the Moyu birthday star, then this thing must be given away.
"Sister Ruyi, I'll give you the Moyu birthday star first." Reiko took the key, and when she came to the second room, she saw the big red lacquered iron box with the Moyu birthday star, she took out one from a bunch of keys, opened the lock with a "click", and took out a rectangular red brocade box from it and handed it to Ruyi, "Sister Ruyi, this is the Moyu birthday star." ”
Ruyi carefully took it, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, she saw a birthday ornament carved from black jade lying quietly inside, she closed the brocade box in twos and threes, and said to Lingzi: "Miss said that the birthday star of black jade is put together with two red gold longevity locks, I am afraid that I will be confused and run in vain, so I took a special look." ”
Reiko knew that Ruyi was not familiar with her, so she deliberately explained, originally she didn't care, but she caught a message in Ruyi's words, is this what Miss wants to express?
Reiko was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Sister Ruyi, I know what Miss means." ”
