Chapter 279: A Strange Family Banquet
Ruyi hurriedly rushed to Fangcao Garden with the brocade box containing the black jade birthday star.
The hall has been lit with lattice lamps of octagonal snow yarn, and the hall is brightly lit, and the banquet seems to be going on.
Ruyi stood at the door and took two deep breaths, hugged the box in his arms tightly, and then strode into the hall.
"Miss, the slave has come back with what you wanted."
Before Qin Daixin could speak, Qin Fengge preemptively said: "Yo, if you take something for so long, you won't be reluctant to give it, right?" She glanced at Qin Daixin before she fanned the flames and said, "That's something given by the eldest princess." The implication is that this thing is given by the eldest princess of the Fang family, and Qin Daixin has no right not to give it.
Ruyi bent his knees and said: "Back to my aunt, it's the slave maid's slow hands and feet, and I'm afraid that I will damage Mrs. Tai's Moyu birthday star, so it's even slower." ”
It was probably the words "Mrs. Tai's Moyu Birthday Star" that calmed Qin Fengge's anger, she didn't continue to make things difficult, but said directly: "Bring things up, I'll take a look." ”
Qin Dai couldn't see her like this, as if the things of the Qin family were hers, and asked Ruyi at the moment: "Can you still be smooth?" ”
Ruyi was worried about three points in her heart, after all, it was still unknown whether Lingzi's guess was accurate or not, but the situation in front of her did not allow her to hesitate at all, so Ruyi had to bite the bullet and said: "The slave maid found Lingzi to get the key according to Miss's instructions, and took this Moyu birthday star, because she was afraid of taking the wrong one and delaying the time, the slave maid specially emphasized Miss's words." Ruyi paused for a moment, glanced at Qin Fengge, who was a little impatient, and then said: "Miss Lingzi has a clear mind, she knows that the girl has concerns, so she deliberately opened it to confirm that although the Moyu Shouxing and the pair of red gold longevity locks were placed in two identical brocade boxes, the weight was different, so there was no mistake at all." Reiko also says that the red gold locks shouldn't be in that box, and that she'll send them where they belong. ”
This was a bit winding, but Qin Daixin still understood the meaning that Lingzi wanted to convey at once.
She once said that let Lingzi send the longevity lock to Su at night, Lingzi understood her hint, presumably this will have taken the longevity lock to the Orchid Garden, Su has Xueqing and Lingzi by her side, it can be described as a double insurance, she can rest assured.
"Got it. It's such a trivial matter and so troublesome, let's send the things to Mrs. Tai! ”
Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and took the brocade box and walked towards the Fang clan.
Mother Wan took the brocade box. Immediately opened it and presented it to the Fang clan, Qin Fengge stretched his neck to look at it, and praised from time to time: "It's really a good thing, this jade is as black as ink, and the color is translucent." The shape is chic, the carving is extraordinary, what a good thing! ”
Fang Shi couldn't stop nodding, her joy was beyond words, she was getting older, and she wanted to add blessings and longevity to herself. Particularly favored for things like birthday stars.
"It's a royal thing, so naturally you can't go wrong." Qin Fengge's chin was raised, as if this thing had been given to her by the eldest princess.
Fang Wanru pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief without a trace. I look down on my sister more and more, she is already the prefect's wife, or this virtue, I really don't know how Gongsun Taixing can stand her.
However, this kind of affection that can't be looked down on can only be left in her heart, Fang Wanru knows. If she can't look down on Qin Fengge, she is equivalent to being an enemy of the Fang family, and she is not stupid. Naturally, it wouldn't be done.
She looked at it from the side, but did not step forward, it was precisely because the Fang family was her own aunt that she understood her mother-in-law's temperament better than the average daughter-in-law, the Fang family hated people to covet their own things, even if the Fang family abandoned this thing, she did not allow others to worry about it, although she was her niece and daughter-in-law, it was best not to touch her reverse scales.
Of course, Qin Fengge is not in this ranks, first of all, she is a strange person, secondly, she was born by the Fang family after all, and she is separated from the Fang family by a layer, since ancient times, up to the inner courtyard of the palace, down to the homes of ordinary people, the status of daughters and daughters-in-law has never been equal, she Qin Fengge is just one of the tens of millions of daughters-in-law, how can He De dare to make such a comparison.
Therefore, Fang Wanru just looked at it, and said quite approvingly: "Sister-in-law's words are good, the material is good, the work is good, and the meaning is good, mother, it's really a good luck!" ”
Fang was also very satisfied, and handed the lid on the box to Mother Wan and said, "Put it away." ”
Mother Wan hurriedly took it over and hugged the brocade box tightly as if she was holding an ancestor.
"It is a great honor for our Qin Mansion to be rewarded by the eldest princess, if you have the opportunity, you must thank the princess." Maybe you can really catch the princess's condition!
Qin Fengge probably hadn't seen enough, he felt quite disappointed, and his face was not very happy. However, as soon as she thought of having the opportunity to get close to the eldest princess, her mind came alive again, and she felt that this was a shortcut to climb the relationship and help her husband ascend.
"Mother is right, we have to thank the eldest princess." Maybe she was too excited, Qin Fengge picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a sip of wine gently, probably because the dream was too beautiful for her, she felt that she seemed to be a little drunk and a little fluctuating.
Qin Daixin sat opposite and secretly admired the expressions of these people, whether real or hypocritical, and felt that the good show exchanged for a black jade birthday star was really good-looking and worth it. It's just that I don't know what kind of expressions they had when the news of the eldest princess becoming a monk came when the news of the death of the horse came a few days later.
It must be colorful and wonderful!
Fifth Miss Qin Peixin became more and more clever, and kept interacting with everyone during the banquet, she knew that Fang's things were not her turn to judge, but she was unwilling to just sit on the table to eat, so she pretended to be innocent and asked the nurse on the side, "Nurse, what is so beautiful about a black stone, grandmother likes it so much, I see that there are many in the garden, let's pick a few pieces another day, find a beautiful box and give it to grandmother to please her?" ”
This kid is really smart, first, to please Fang's family, and secondly, to express his innocence to the fullest, a six or seven-year-old child can speak, who can not dig deeper?
Qin Daixin smiled, the Qin Mansion is full of talents, such a young child's acting skills are already so good, will he be able to do it in the future?
Her sisters, sure enough, none of them have a good stubble.
Sure enough, Fang Shi couldn't laugh when he heard this, and said straight that this kid was a smart one, and Fang Wanru was also full of smiles, as if she had been fooled by the fifth lady's fairy tales, only Qin Fengge snorted sarcastically. Covered by a lot of laughter, I can't really hear it.
"Okay, good, Xiao Wu is very filial, you pick a few pieces for your grandmother another day, and grandmother will give you candy to eat."
Only then did the fifth lady "react", she felt ashamed, and hurriedly buried her little face in the nurse's arms.
The crowd laughed again.
Qin Daixin felt bored, the Lin family had just had a miscarriage, and the Qin Mansion didn't have a child, so everyone was talking and laughing here. Was this normal in ancient times, when offspring were the most important?
She really didn't want to come, but they were still in the name of picking up the dust for themselves. If she hadn't been picked up by the eldest princess, would she still have this kind of treatment when she returned home?
The answer was yes, so Qin Dai's heart was silent.
Also silent with her are Qin Qianxin and Qin Ruoxin. The former was preoccupied, and he hadn't seen her for a month, but he had lost a lot, and her little round face was thin and pointed. Her expression was downcast, and she was like Qin Qianxin before, even if Fang Wanru personally picked up vegetables for her, she didn't eat a few bites, and the things in the bowl were piled up like a hill.
Got something on your mind? Two hundred and five Qin Qianxin also has something on her mind?
Qin Daixin felt that she had changed too much, and she said that she couldn't understand it.
Also strange is Qin Ruoxin. She was still the same soft and weak look, not talking much, just laughing. She answered whatever Fang asked, not saying a word, not saying a word, not saying a word, and being a little too tight.
Qin Dai secretly observed her a few times and found that her hands were shaking several times. It seems to be afraid of something.
What is Qin Ruoxin afraid of?
At the same time that Qin Dai was secretly thinking in his heart, the Su family in the orchid garden also frowned worriedly. She stroked her belly, which was already high and bulging, and said softly: "Mother Ding, it's not that I don't know what to do, it stands to reason that Mrs. Tai invited me to go, that is to give me a big face, I have no reason not to go, but now I am more than eight months pregnant, because I am a twin, my body is heavier than that of a normal pregnant woman, and my feet and legs are swollen. ”
The nurse was on the side, silent, but there was worry on her face that could not be concealed.
It was the Yan family, who stood up generously and asked Ding's mother directly: "My sister came on an errand from Mrs. Tai, and we don't want to embarrass you, but you also know that the lord is very fond of his aunt's birth, and he has explained it on weekdays, if there is no big thing, Aunt Lan doesn't have to go anywhere, whether it is Mrs. Tai's place or Mrs. Tai's place, the morning and evening morning and evening provinces are exempt, this Mrs. Tai suddenly asked you to invite someone, it is really ......"
"What, are you still afraid that Mrs. Tai will eat Aunt Lan?" Ding's mother hurriedly interrupted Yan's words, with a tricky face.
Su Shi only felt a chill in his back, his eyelids jumped, and his heart involuntarily panicked.
The nurse noticed that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly patted the back of Su's hand with her hand comfortingly, meaning to reassure her.
"Aunt Lan, you'd better change your clothes and hurry up with the slave, it doesn't matter if you can't walk, we have prepared a sedan chair, and you can't get tired of your precious body."
Got a sedan chair? This is prepared!
Everyone present was nervous, go, I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet, don't go, it's undoubtedly in trouble, it's really a dilemma.
At this moment, a little girl came to report outside the door, saying that the third lady's girl Lingzi was here.
Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to let Lingzi in, in Su's opinion, Lingzi came by coincidence, came wonderfully, and things were falling into a helpless stalemate, and Lingzi came.
Sometimes, procrastination is also a way out of the way.
Lingzi picked up the curtain and entered the house, saluted the Su family, and then said, "Auntie, why hasn't she rested yet?" Well, she admitted that she did it on purpose, and as soon as she entered the orchid garden, she found several mothers-in-law standing in the courtyard, and the people of the orchid garden were pointing at them from a distance, meaning that the visitors were not good.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered Su's house, she found that there was a strange mother-in-law standing in the middle of the room with her nostrils facing the sky.
Su Shi looked at Reiko with a smile, and didn't answer her, only asked, "You came here so late, but something happened?" ”
Reiko took out the box that had been holding her chest as if offering a treasure, "This is the longevity lock that the young lady bought for the two babies in the capital, and she specially instructed the slave maid to send it to her aunt during the day." She handed the box to Fang Qiao, and Fang Qiao handed it to Su Shi.
Su Shi opened the box and saw that there were two red gold longevity locks lying inside, both of which were in the shape of lotus flowers, with the words "longevity and longevity" on them, and the two longevity locks were exactly the same, which was really ingenious and very rare.
"This child, it's rare that she has a heart." Su Shi stroked the longevity lock in the box, tears flashed in her eyes, and she was crying more and more.
"I said auntie, if you want to see the longevity lock, there is time, but it's not good to let Mrs. Tai wait for you." Ding's mother waited impatiently, rolled her eyes widely, and said to Fang Qiao: "Don't wash and change your aunt's clothes yet." ”
