Chapter 25 Yutan Organizes a Wine Banquet
Aunt Zhou lived silently in the West Cross Courtyard, she just raised a small wave in the backwater and the Hou Mansion, Qi is a generous, but never took the opportunity to deduct her diet, a life of a disgraced aunt is not as good as a slave, Aunt Zhou can only endure this breath first.
The old lady took the newborn little brother to her side and raised, the child was born in less than seven months, thin like a kitten, wrinkled skin, really people don't like it, the old lady was also annoyed in two days, and couldn't hear the child's cry, so he cleaned up a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the house, and ordered a few old mothers to watch him.
Brother Shen's teaching gentleman was also invited, an old jinshi surnamed Wang, I heard that the old gentleman is good at learning, and he has sat in the museum for a lifetime, and it is just right to enlighten Brother Shen, so Brother Shen discussed with his grandmother, "Grandmother, let the fifth sister also study with me, right?" ”
The old lady still didn't agree, and Brother Shen hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that those young ladies can write poems?" My fifth sister went to school with me, and she could also learn to write poetry. ”
This is a piece of the old lady's heart, that day from the Yingguo Mansion back, the old lady envied the young lady of the family can write poetry, won a lot of praise, the young lady surnamed Lu is just the daughter of the fourth grade civil official, even the old lady Yanci praised her, Yutan, Yurong Nuhong did a good job, the rules are good, Yutan can also draw a few strokes, they have not read since childhood, Yutan followed the Qi family is literate and hyphenated, Yurong doesn't even know his own name, the old lady didn't think there was anything bad about this before, this time I went out to eat a wine, My eyes have also opened, and I also feel that if my granddaughter can write poetry, her in-laws will be easier to find.
The old lady couldn't stand Brother Shen'er's begging, so she nodded and agreed, Brother Shen begged with a smile, "Grandmother, let the fourth sister also learn from her, she is also naughty at home." ”
Yufang is only nine years old, with a small round face, which really doesn't match beauty, and because she was raised by her aunt, the old lady ignores her on weekdays, and when she heard Brother Shen say this, the old lady frowned and said, "What should she do, she is stupid, and she can't learn to write poetry, so it's better to embroider a dowry at home." ”
"Grandmother, I want the fourth sister to come with me to help me polish the ink, Mr. is not allowed to have a maid in the house during class, the fourth sister can help me with the past, you will agree, good grandmother, I don't want to grind the ink by myself."
The old lady couldn't resist it, and asked Yufang and Yuqin to tell them about letting them study with Brother Shen, Yuqin's big eyes flashed, and she smiled sweetly, "Grandmother, I will study hard, I can learn better than Brother Shen." ”
Yufang never dreamed that she could go to school with her, what the old lady said was to let her help Brother Shen sharpen the ink and take care of the two little ones, what is this, Yufang nodded again and again, "Grandmother, I will help Brother Shen sharpen the ink." ”
Yufang excitedly ran back to the small courtyard where she and her aunt lived, "Auntie, I can also study, and my grandmother will let me go with me." ”
Her aunt hugged her daughter, and she was also very happy, the mother and the two were excited and didn't sleep all night, and her aunt had to tell her daughter well.
Brother Shen has to read every day, reading in the morning, practicing martial arts in the afternoon, the two young ladies are listening behind through the screen, and the sisters are also good companions, Yutan is really envious, but she is now a big girl, and she can't show up anymore, but every day Yuqin comes back, Yutan has to flip through her sister's books, and then let Yuqin tell her a few words, sighing abruptly.
Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, Qi struggled to give birth to a son, Li Mingwei was overjoyed, and finally looked forward to a son-in-law all these years, so he discussed with his mother to put a full moon wine, and invited some relatives and friends to be lively and lively.
Although the rules are ready-made, which servants are ushered in, these have already been arranged, and there is no need to do anything in Yutan, but when the time comes, it is not good for anyone to accidentally neglect anyone, and Qi's confinement can't worry, and she has to worry about her daughter, Yu Niangzi is busy persuading Qi's family, "Madame don't have to worry, our second miss has a plan in our hearts, and we have followed Madame for so many years, and we don't dare to let the second miss suffer." ”
Now it can only be like this, Yutan has been carefully calculating in his heart these days, the weather will be very cold in another month, he can only find a spacious place, burn the house warm, and have a place where the ladies go to the big wool clothes, the weather is cold, it is necessary to bring a hand stove, if you accidentally spark pops out, it is not good, because I discussed with my grandmother, the meeting hall was cleaned up first, as a place for feasting, this room is spacious, can put thirty tables of banquets, first found a mason to repair the fire wall, The old lady was also worried at this time, she was patronizing and happy, and then she felt reasonable after listening to her granddaughter's questions.
At that time, it is estimated that twenty or thirty ladies can be invited, and the concubines of this Hou Mansion are full moon wine, and the ladies have to give this face, and the ladies of each family will not come, so they can save some trouble.
There is also the purchase of the small kitchen, now that the weather is cold, meat and the like can also be prepared first, and the wine can also be prepared first, these orders can be put down, and the arrangement of the servants, the work on the scene is willing to be done by everyone, not to mention the work in front of the master, and you can also get a reward, but those behind the scenes are dirty and tired, it is inevitable that some people are not careful, these people have to worry even more, it is really a thousand things, there are too many things to prepare, the old lady has a headache first, but the words are all said, this full moon wine can not be left out.
Brother Shen followed up with an idea, and after sentence on the left, Yutan glanced at him, "You are still making trouble here, don't go to school quickly." ”
Brother Shen smiled and hugged Yutan's arm again, "Sister, let's eat a small stove then, right?" It's hot, I want to eat a small stove. ”
Yutan's eyes couldn't help but light up, this is really a good way, why didn't she think of it, Yutan couldn't help pinching Brother Shen'er's little face, "You little thing, how do you grow this little head melon, how did you come up with this idea, in the old years, Jingyang waited for his family to do white things, my mother came back and her face was so cold that her face was blue, and she didn't dare to eat a bite of food." ”
The old lady also smiled when she heard this, "Brother Shen'er's idea is really good." ”
When the Hou Ye came to greet the old lady in the evening, the old lady said, "Yushan, how about you say that you will eat a small stove at that time, so that you are not afraid of cold food, and then drink hot wine." ”
Li Mingwei squinted his eyes and smiled, "In the end, the mother is thoughtful, my son has eaten so many wines outside, and no one has come up with this idea." ”
The old lady smiled, "This is Brother Shen'er's idea for his sister, Brother Shen'er has a lot of ghost ideas." ”
Li Mingwei was stunned for a moment, but he thought that Brother Shen happened to say it, and he was a little speechless to the old mother.
Guo Xincheng is also worried these days, Hou Ye entrusted him with the banquet in the outer courtyard, and there are many good buddies of Li Mingwei who are going to come, the banquet must be new, these days the old Guo is worried, no one is willing to treat guests in winter, there are too many inconveniences, today I listened to the idea of the second lady, Guo Xincheng's eyes also lit up.
