Chapter 53: The Birthday Banquet
Wu smiled and saluted: "Don't get in the way, I'm already much cooler." ”
Mrs. Lu was very satisfied, and raised her hand to let Wu sit.
Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing stepped forward and saluted Lu Zhaoping in a proper manner.
Lu Zhaoping's eyes fell on Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing, looked at them carefully, and beckoned with a smile: "Come here, let my aunt take a good look, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I see that the two sisters have grown a lot taller." ”
Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing stepped forward, Lu Zhaoping took their sisters' hands and smiled: "The three girls are really beautiful embryos." Son, look how good this flesh grows. ”
"The three girls are good-looking, but in the end, they still look more childish, or Liangyu looks dignified and generous." Pei hurriedly said flatteringly, lest he lose this good opportunity to make a fool of himself.
Lu Shuyi knew this, and only smiled slightly.
Lu Zhaoping didn't know how to take Pei's words for a while, so she could only cough lightly, let go of Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing's hands, grabbed a handful of sesame candy from the fruit dish on the table and stuffed it into the hands of the two sisters, and said with a loving face: "Children love candy, go eat it!" ”
"Where's Cousin Liangyu?" Lu Shujing was thinking about Su Liangyu and hurriedly asked.
Mrs. Lu said: "Your cousin and cousin are playing with your second sister and them in the West Room, so you should go and play with them!" We adults talk. ”
It stands to reason that Su Ziwen shouldn't stay in the West Room to play with his cousins, but he is Mrs. Lu's only grandson, and his mouth is very good at coaxing people, every time he comes to live in Lu's house, he can coax Mrs. Lu to be happy. So he stayed here to play, and Mrs. Lu wouldn't care too much, as long as she didn't go out of line.
Lu Shuyi wanted to know if Lu Zhaoping was pregnant at this time. If you are really pregnant. When Lu Zhaoping gives birth to a child in the future, maybe she will die in childbirth like in her previous life......
If that's the case. Should she find a way to prevent this tragedy from happening?
Lu Shuyi was thinking about things in her heart, and followed Lu Shujing to the west room.
The west room is very lively, Lu Shuqi, Lu Shufang, and Lu Shuyun and Lu Shuhui in the fourth room are all there.
Several girls were talking around Su Liangyu, and Su Ziwen was also joining in the fun.
Lu Shuqi took Su Liangyu's hand and talked to her with a smile: "This time the old lady's birthday banquet, my mother said that she invited Chen Jiaban to sing. There is a Hua Dan named Ru Niang in this Chen family class, I heard that she is both beautiful and artistic, and a "Drunken Concubine" is even more amazing. This time, my cousin should listen carefully. ”
Does Su Liangyu like to listen to dramas? It seems that Su Ziwen loves to listen to dramas.
Lu Shuyi was thinking about it, and then there was a bang on the back of her head, as if she had been smacked. She almost didn't scream when she was in pain.
Su Ziwen saw that she had been tricked, and immediately laughed: "Third cousin, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I thought you had grown up!" Why are you still so sluggish? ”
The young man in front of him looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing an ivory white gongbi landscape robe with a round neck, a fair complexion, and a pair of peach blossom eyes half-squinted. Laugh without scruples.
Reborn I, he is still so annoying......
Lu Shuyi glared at Su Ziwen angrily. Every time we met, he did this, and I don't know how many times he teased her.
She rubbed the back of her head, ignored him, and only said to Su Liangyu: "How is my cousin lately?" ”
"Cousin Liangyu......" Lu Shujing rushed over and pulled Su Liangyu's hand with a smile, and said affectionately: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I miss you." ”
Su Liangyu and Lu Shuyi are the same age, but Lu Shuyi was born in March and she was born in June. Today, Su Liangyu is wearing a bean-green four-happiness Ruyi pattern makeup gown, her jet-black hair is combed with a double screw bun, and she is wearing a headband with eight treasures and beads, and her smile is bright and moving, no wonder she will be favored by Pei's family.
Su Liangyu was also very happy to see Lu Shujing, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, how is my cousin's painting learning?" At the same time, he saluted Lu Shuyi again, and said in a clear voice: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”
"Alright, let's all sit down and talk!" Lu Shuqi was very enthusiastic about Su Liangyu, took Su Liangyu's hand and sat on the big kang by the window, Su Liangyu beckoned Lu Shujing to go over and sit beside her.
The two girls in the fourth room were very shy and didn't say much, so they only sat in the corner, Lu Shuqing and Lu Shuyi sat together, talking and drinking tea each.
"Third cousin, what do you mean by that?" Su Ziwen saw that Lu Shuyi ignored him, his face was a little dissatisfied, and he stood in front of her and said, "When I see my cousin, I don't do the peer courtesy, I really haven't grown." ”
Lu Shuyi didn't plan to ignore him, anyway, he would be fine if he made trouble for a while. The more you ignore him, the more unscrupulous he becomes.
So resolutely ignore him.
Lu Shuyi admonished herself.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Ziwen couldn't help but scratch his head, looked at her fixedly, and said, "Third cousin, did you lose your tongue?" ”
This Su Ziwen ......
Lu Shuyi frowned, and wanted to say: "You have a long tongue...... Before the words came out, she heard Lu Shuqi giggle and said to Su Ziwen: "Third sister, this is annoying you, can't Cousin Wen feel it?" ”
Lu Shuqi is generally never too close to people, but whether it is in her previous life or now, she seems to be interested in building a good relationship with the Su family brothers and sisters......
"Annoying me?" Su Ziwen was slightly stunned, looked at Lu Shuyi and asked, "Are you ...... Are you really annoyed with me? ”
“…… Cousin Wen, I don't even like you. Just now you knocked on the back of the third sister's head when you entered the door, it's no wonder that she doesn't bother you. Lu Shuqing couldn't help but laugh and quipped.
Seeing that Lu Shuyi still didn't speak, Su Ziwen felt bored, frowned, and said to Lu Shuyi: "Or...... You're going to knock me on the same page? I promise not to be mad at you. As he spoke, he stretched his head over, and winked at Lu Shuyi with a smile.
Everyone laughed, Lu Shuyi was very different, this Su Ziwen is always like this......
Lu Shuqi looked at Su Ziwen and said with a smile: "Cousin Wen, let's go out and play with my brothers!" We girls always have something to say. ”
Lu Shujing also smiled and said, "That's it, Cousin Wen is always mixed with us girls." When you marry your cousin-in-law in the future, let your cousin-in-law take care of you. ”
Lu Shuyi's fingertips moved slightly. In his previous life, Su Ziwen had not yet married a wife when he was twenty years old. Later, the Lu family was defeated. I never heard from him again, and I don't know who he married.
However, what made Lu Shuyi strange was that when Lu Shuqi heard the word "cousin-in-law", she blushed......
"That's it, I don't know you girls." Su Ziwen raised his eyebrows, and Shi Shiran walked out of the west room with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Su Ziwen left, several girls became active, telling each other about their preferences and interesting things they heard.
While Lu Shuqi and Su Liangyu were laughing. Lu Shuqing pulled Lu Shuyi's arm and whispered, "Third sister, I heard that you embroidered a crane to send a longevity picture?" ”
Lu Shuyi smiled quietly: "Embroidery is embroidery, but you also know that my embroidery is not good......"
Lu Shuqing's eyes rolled and whispered: "I heard that Lu Shufang also embroidered a birthday picture, isn't she obviously against you like this?" ”
Lu Shuyi knew about Lu Shufang's embroidery of the birthday picture, and she also knew that Lu Shuqing's intention to sue her now was nothing more than to make her hate Lu Shufang in her heart.
She smiled lightly, and said lightly: "The seventh sister's embroidery is indeed better than mine, and she embroiders a birthday picture." It must be amazing! ”
“…… But she's doing it against you! Lu Shuqing's voice was a little sharper, and she frowned: "Aren't you angry?" ”
"Sisters. How can I be angry? Lu Shuyi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Lu Shuqing blinked her eyelashes and said unwillingly: "Third sister, you are too easy to bully, if I ...... I'm going to have to talk to her. ”
Lu Shuyi was silent, only smiling and drinking tea.
Lu Shuqing saw that Lu Shuyi looked indifferent, so she could only scold Lu Shuyi for being weak in her heart.
Over there, Lu Shuqi happily said to Su Liangyu: "After the birthday banquet is over, we will light lanterns and set off fireworks, and then we will follow to light the wishing lanterns." ”
It's a pity that Su Liangyu is not very interested, and only said lightly: "I still like to paint, although the fireworks are good, but the smell is very choking." ”
Lu Shujing blinked and said, "Then I'll sit in the house with my cousin, okay?" ”
Lu Shuyi saw Lu Shuqi glaring at Lu Shujing fiercely, which made Lu Shuyi really surprised.
In her memory, Lu Shuqi has never stared at people like this, she has always been a good child who is quiet and sensible and does not argue with others in the eyes of outsiders. Although he is not very close to the sisters in the family, he never blushes with anyone......
Just now she glared at Lu Shujing, what was it for? Could it be that Lu Shujing is too talkative?
Lu Shuyi pondered.
Over there, Mama Qian came to invite Su Liangyu and said, "Grandma is going to visit the old lady in Xifu and ask you to go with me." ”
Su Liangyu chuckled and got up and said, "Then I'll go first." At the same time, he whispered to Lu Shujing: "I'll look for you when I come back." ”
Lu Shujing smiled and nodded.
After returning from Fushouju, Wu smiled and said to Lu Shuyi: "You can have more cousins in the future." ”
Lu Shuyi pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and it seemed that Lu Zhaoping was indeed pregnant. Lu Zhaoping must be very happy in her heart now! It's just that she didn't know that her birth was here to kill her.
What the hell should I say?
Lu Shujing was young and hadn't understood yet, so she blinked her eyes and asked, "Why do you want multiple cousins?" ”
Wu sat on the couch and said with a smile: "Your eldest aunt is pregnant, and it has been two months now. After the New Year, you don't want to add a cousin. I really didn't expect it...... Your Liangyu cousin and Cousin Wen are so old, and your aunt can still have children. ”
"Not really." Mama Zhao smiled and said, "Slave maid, look, the eldest aunt and grandmother's body is quite good, it seems that this pregnancy is very smooth." ”
Is it smooth? When I was born, it was difficult to give birth......
But she couldn't say it to her mother.
After returning to Lanyue Pavilion, Lu Shuyi leaned on the embroidery in a depressed mood, she rubbed her eyebrows and asked Mo Ju: "You say...... Is there a way to avoid this woman's childbirth? ”
Mo Ju was stunned: "This ...... Why did the young lady suddenly ask about this? ”
Lu Shuyi didn't dare to tell her that Lu Zhaoping would have a difficult birth in the future, so she could only find a reason and said: "I also suddenly heard about my aunt's pregnancy, and I just had a whim." ”
Mo Ju glanced at her deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that there is a midwife who specializes in delivering difficult births, but it is difficult to find." ”
"And such people?" Lu Shuyi came to her senses, sat up straight, looked at Mo Ju and said, "Where can I find such a person?" ”
Mo Ju's eyes flashed with hesitation, and Lu Shuyi, who always felt that was very strange, thought about it for a while: "This is going to ask an old man like Mama You, she should know!" ”
Lu Shuyi let out an "oh", thinking in her heart, it would be nice if she could wake up Lu Zhaoping, but what should she do?
…………
It was two days in a flash, and early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, before the fifth watch, Mo Ju took her clothes and waited for Lu Shuyi to freshen up.
"It's a good day for the old lady, and this dress can be bright and festive." Mo Ju gave Lu Shuyi a silver-red Ruyi makeup gown and embroidered plum blossom crescent satin shoes.
Dongmei also deliberately turned on the makeup and took the rouge gouache out: "On festive days, the third lady should use some rouge!" ”
"I don't go to sing again, what kind of rouge do I use." Lu Shuyi smiled narrowly, which made Dongmei smile: "The singing is not as good-looking as you." ”
After all, today is a big day, and you always have to dress up.
She asked Mo Ju to paint her eyebrows, and applied makeup powder and rouge.
Everyone was amazed: "With such a makeup, the ladies in our house have been compared." ”
Lu Shuyi took the rake mirror and looked left and right, Fang smiled and said: "I don't need breakfast, I have to accompany you to drink tea at the birthday banquet, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it then." ”
At the beginning of the hour, Lu Shujing came to find Lu Shuyi, and the two sisters went to Wu's Champs. Wu had no choice but to teach the two sisters again, and said, "There are many people today, you sisters should be careful everywhere when they act and speak, and don't make people laugh at them." ”
Especially Lu Shuyi, Wu pulled her and whispered: "You are not young anymore, the wives of the families who came to the birthday banquet today will definitely pay attention to these girls in our house, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, you know?" ”
Lu Shuyi knows that the birthday banquet and wedding banquet of large families are often the blind date banquet of the female dependents.
Lu Shuyi is already twelve, and it is reasonable for Wu to be worried.
When the mother and daughter arrived at Fushouju, Mrs. Lu had already dressed up, and sat on the couch in a big red gown embroidered with longevity patterns to talk to Lu Zhaoping.
Wu led Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing to salute Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Shuyi from top to bottom, and said with satisfaction: "The three girls are dressed up well today. ”
Lu Zhaoping chuckled and said, "The three girls were originally beautiful embryosSon, this casual dress-up, the more you look at it, people can't take their eyes off. He groaned again and said, "The three girls are twelve this year!" Her eyes moved slightly, and she exclaimed: "Such a good appearance, but I don't know whose stupid boy will be cheaper in the future!" ”
Lu Shuyi's face turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly pulled Lu Shujing out.
Lu Zhaoping was still smiling over there: "She's shy, you see, I just said a word and ran away." (To be continued......)
