Chapter 129: Birthday Feast (Pink 180+)
But it's not a big deal. For Du Hengshuang, she has never lacked money to spend since she was a child. It can be said that her concept of money is much weaker than that of ordinary people. Of course, the weak concept of money does not mean that she likes to be wronged, and she is willing to let others spend her money and slap her face.
Her father, Du Xiancheng, used to tell her that the problem that could be solved with silver was not a big problem.
She is in charge of the outer courtyard and all the shops of the Xiao family and the Du family, and she does not check the accounts with the account books every day, or calculate the accounts with an abacus. And she has only taken over for a month, and it didn't take long for her to encounter Zhu Susu's affairs, she ran around outside, and went to Jing Zhaoyin's cell every other day to visit Zhu Susu, and when she got home, she was so tired that she didn't want to say anything, so she put many things aside for the time being.
Moreover, the expenses of the Xiao family's inner courtyard, she has an account in her heart, even if she doesn't allocate money for two months, it won't come to this point.
But the food on the table was so shabby, even if she had a reason, she couldn't escape a charge of "dereliction of duty". Besides, she really didn't take it to heart. The bride who just got married, and she is not thinking about grabbing power every day, and the position of this daughter-in-law has not been corrected.
Du Hengshuang reminded himself that he could no longer be so careless, and at the same time, his mind was racing, he took a step behind, called out Zhihua, and commanded in a concise and low voice: "Hurry up and go to the Zhuangyuan Building to order a table of noodles, and ask for the best one, so that they can deliver it immediately within the hour of a pillar of incense." ”
Knowing the importance of the painting, he was busy, and he carried his skirt out of the courtyard along the verandah, and went up to the second gate.
Inside the flower hall, the guests are in twos and threes. Some awkwardly stood on the ground, and no one went in and sat down.
Fang Yuniang and Long Xiangye were the last to come in, and when they saw everyone standing, they were a little strange, and helped to greet them, "Why don't you all sit down?" ”
Long Shuzhi ran to Long Xiangye and said with some puzzlement: "Third aunt, don't you even have longevity noodles for your birthday?" ”
Long Xiangye was inexplicable, and walked into the flower hall with his hands in his hands. I took a look around the house. "No, it's supposed to be a face-to-face ......"
Seeing the jerky, pickles and gruel on the table, Longxiangye pursed her lips, and two deep crow's feet appeared on both sides of her nose. The whole person looked serious and sharp.
Fang Yuniang shut up. The wind flew towards Du Hengshuang.
Du Hengshuang nodded slightly at her. Walking over, he smiled at Long Xiangye: "Mother, don't be angry. The second brother and sister are joking with you. ”
Guan was waiting for Du Hengshuang's words, and when he heard this, he knelt down, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is not filial, and I can't let my mother have a good birthday, please punish my mother." As he spoke, he kowtowed to Long Xiangye twice.
Long Xiangye said unhappily: "Hurry up." What do you do without crying, do you want to touch people's heads? "Today is her birthday, this daughter-in-law, it's really muddy that can't support the wall.
Guan was stunned, stood up hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Mother's good day, how can a daughter-in-law touch her mother's moldy head?" As he spoke, he glanced around the table again, "It's not that the daughter-in-law doesn't want to make a big deal, it's just that the clever woman can't cook without rice......"
"Enough! Hurry up and tell the kitchen to serve! These things are accepted, and no one at home can play around, and it is too rude to be in front of the guests. Long Xiangye still wanted to save face in the end, so he quickly blocked what Guan was going to say and warned her not to make too much trouble.
Kwan was not angry. Du Hengshuang obviously did something wrong, why did she help her cover it up? Mother is really getting more and more eccentric......
Aunt Jin and Chen Yuejiao were standing in the corner of the house, hiding away from everyone, standing with their subordinates, and did not come over to join in the fun.
Now listening to Long Xiangye's tone, the Guan family seems to be about to suffer, Aunt Jin saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly walked out of the pile, came to Long Xiangye and knelt down, and pleaded: "Old lady, it's really not our second young grandmother's fault. The eldest and youngest grandmother doesn't allocate money to the inner courtyard, she really can't do it, and recently, she has used her private house to supplement the expenses of the inner courtyard of the house. Old lady, you also know that the second young grandmother is not as rich as the eldest young grandmother, and only the things that are so much at the bottom of the box are all in the east and west, so they can live these days. ”
Long Xiangye was also stunned when she heard it. Didn't Kwan do it on purpose?
"What do you mean by that? What's the East When the West? Could it be that our Xiao family's second young grandmother also has to go to the pawnshop to live as a pawnshop? Long Xiangye didn't believe it, and pointed to Guan and asked Aunt Jin.
Aunt Jin kowtowed again and muttered, "I didn't think much, just some winter fur sweaters, a gold collar, a few twisted gold bracelets, ......"
Du Hengshuang didn't wait for Aunt Jin to finish speaking, and said one after another: "I really wronged my younger brothers and sisters, it's really rare to be a family and treat yourself as bankrupt." Don't cry, give me the pawn ticket, and I'll redeem it for you tomorrow. ”
Guan's silver teeth clenched, and a sentence was thrown out from between the teeth, "No need to ......"
"How's that going to work? How can the things of our Xiao family's second young grandmother be left outside? Second brother and sister, you're welcome, give me the ticket, I'll help you redeem it, no one will be missing you. Du Hengshuang resolutely asked her to be a ticket.
Guan was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but say, "That's my business." Sister-in-law, let's think about what to do on my mother's birthday. I'm not as good as my sister-in-law, and the money on hand is only enough to make these dried meat and pickles, and I can't afford to buy them no matter how expensive they are. ”
Du Hengshuang sighed: "You don't have any silver flowers, just tell me." Even if you ask me to borrow something, it's not the first time you've asked me to borrow something, do you think I urged you to pay it back? - At this time, I was dead-eyed, and I couldn't find the silver on my mother's birthday. It's a shame that my mother has always treated her second brother and sister as if she were her own daughter, and she did such a thing, which really broke my mother's heart. ”
Guan didn't expect Du Hengshuang to be able to reverse black and white with one mouth. It was originally Du Hengshuang's fault, but it became her responsibility to Guan Yunlian, what is going on?
"Sister-in-law, don't pretend to be a troublemaker, don't detain the silver in the inner courtyard, and I don't know what to do with it. I just want to say that I am a poor family, and I can only go so far. Guan refused to let go of Du Hengshuang.
Du Hengshuang was just dragging his feet, smiling and saying a few words to Guan's gag, and saw Zhihua walking in from the courtyard gate sweating. Followed by a little hat in green clothes, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Walked in with a food box.
"The old lady, the eldest young grandmother, the second young grandmother, the champion building has sent a banquet." As soon as Zhihua came in, he saluted to the dragon fragrant leaves.
Fang Yuniang breathed a sigh of relief. His daughter still has a chance, no matter what the facts are, the current famine will be covered up first.
Zhuangyuan Building is a well-known restaurant in the four streets and eight squares here.
Du Hengshuang paid a lot of money again, and of course what he sent was a waiting table.
Soon the jerky meat, pickles, and gruel on the table were collected and the dishes carefully prepared by the champion building were put on the table.
The guests were happily seated, very interested in the farce they had just seen.
Du Hengshuang personally served food to Long Xiangye and Fang Yuniang, and raised his wine glass to the female guests in the room: "Today is our Xiao family's poor preparation, which makes everyone laugh." I'll be fined three cups first. He said. He drank three cups of mannitol.
"Grandma has a good amount of alcohol!" Everyone roared. Also raise a glass and drink together.
Aunt Jin took Chen Yuejiao to sit at the farthest table. Only half of the people sat there, and the other half could let the maids take turns to come and eat.
Guan Shi stared at Du Hengshuang hatefully, and saw that she had just drunk three glasses of wine, and her face was even more springy. People are more delicate than flowers. Take a low sip. Stand not far behind Long Xiangye.
Long Xiangye hated the Guan family, so he simply hung her up, and then trained her well when she figured it out. - Alas. The two daughters-in-law are not worry-free.
Long Shuzhi saw that Long Xiang's leaves were as heavy as water, so she thought of a way to make her happy, her eyes rolled, and said, "Third aunt, do you know that my grandmother's Qinghe Cui family, what kind of happy event has happened now?" ”
Long Xiangye softened his face and said lovingly: "This kid, where did you learn to hide your head and show your tail?" - Tell me the truth is serious. ”
Long Shuzhi raised her chin slightly, with a proud face, "My maternal grandfather's family is the Qinghe Cui family, and Cui Zhenzhen, the eldest daughter of the Chang family's eldest house, was selected as the crown princess and will be married at the end of the year." ”
"It's actually the little lady of Qinghe Cui's family. No wonder, no wonder, only her mother's life in the world. ”
"What's more, it is said that since she was born, she has been approved by a high monk, saying that her life is indescribably noble, and she is the choice of the dragon and phoenix among people. Because of this, when the last emperor of the previous dynasty ascended the throne, he once hit her idea and wanted to marry her as the queen. Cui Zhenzhen refused and volunteered to become a female champion. Her family was reluctant to let her suffer in the nunnery, so they built her a little cui nunnery at home and let her lead the cultivation at home. "There are still many people who know the Tao of Cui Zhenzhen, and even Du Hengshuang, a person who knows the details of the Dao, has listened to it.
"And then?" The person next to him asked very conscientiously.
Long Shuzhi said with a smile: "Later, this dynasty was newly established, and it is said that Miss Cui had a dream in the nunnery, saying that from now on, the sea banquet and the river are clear, which is a good way of the world, and she will return to the vulgar." - As soon as she returned to the vulgar, there was an endless stream of people who came to marry her, and she refused to nod her head to marry, so she has been at home so far, she is twenty-three years old, fortunately, His Majesty chose a concubine for the prince, and when he heard about Cui Zhenzhen, he hired her to the prince. You say, "Is this a step to heaven?" Long Shuzhi said the same as if she was going to marry the prince.
Zhu Susu was extremely silent today, disappearing in the crowd, without saying a word, and only when he heard Qinghe Cui's was a little moved.
Some people in the house went to worship Long Shuzhi, but most of them sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and were not bluffed by Long Shuzhi. - The Long family's family is there, and Long Shuzhi is no more than that.
Du Hengshuang also knew that when Long Shuzhi said this, she was really putting gold on their Long family's face.
Long Xiangye's younger brother is married to the concubine of the side branch of the Cui clan of Qinghe. This side branch has almost come out of five suits, and it has nothing to do with the Qinghe Cui family, except for the same surname.
However, with the family background of the Long family, at that time, he was able to marry the concubine of the Cui clan of Qinghe, and she was also stained with Xiao Xiangsheng's light. He has a wide range of faces and generous means, so he can order such a good family for Long Xiangye's younger brother.
But when Long Shuzhi said it, it was the same as her grandfather's house being the main house of the Cui family. Whether people recognize her grandfather or not, it's a matter of two things.
With this news as a condiment, the big guys happily finished a birthday feast and did not leave home until the afternoon.
Long Xiangye left Long Shuzhi bitterly, saying that he hadn't seen him for two years, and he wanted to kiss the fragrance and incense.
Long Shuzhi couldn't ask for it, so she followed Long Xiangye to live. She was freshening up in the back room, and heard Long Xiangye talking outside the carved floor cover, "Let the eldest and second masters come in." ”
As soon as she heard that the two cousins were coming, Long Shuzhi hurriedly ran out.
