Chapter 261: Twentieth Birthday
Duan Ziyi strode in from outside, dressed in new clothes, looking energetic, people who didn't know thought that he was the one who died today!
"Mother-in-law."
Xia Wei looked at him like she looked at her own child, and at the beginning, she couldn't let go of his identity, but now she couldn't be more comfortable, "Qiu'er will be fine soon, you have been busy all morning, sit and rest first." ”
Duan Ziyi responded warmly, and really sat down at the table to drink tea and wait.
Xia Hanqiu glanced at the obedient Chang Zhi from the mirror, and suddenly remembered that this person seemed to have never treated his mother with the attitude of treating others.
It's because of her, and because her mother's care for her is not mixed with a little water, but in other words, such a person is the best.
"Okay, satisfied this time, right?" Xia Wei withdrew her hand, looked at the mirror, and reinserted the jewelry on her head.
Xia Hanqiu nodded, and the jewelry swayed with her movements, "That's it, I don't dare to show up in front of people like you picked up before." ”
"Mother doesn't know you yet, you're very bold, if you don't like it, don't like it, my daughter is plain and looks better than others with heavy makeup." Clapped her hands, Xia Wei went to the side of the closet to find clothes for her, "Today you are the protagonist, not to mention that you want to be red and green, you can't wear cloth clothes, didn't I make you several silver clothes before?" Just wear that. ”
In these little things, Xia Hanqiu has always relied on her mother, since she was a child, she has been looking forward to someone who can go up and down to take care of her, and she has enjoyed it very much in the past two years.
Get up from the dresser and walk over to Changzhi and sit down, "Those people must come?" ”
"Yes. If you can't push it off, let's come, just a few more people. Duan Ziyi looked at Qiu'er, who was becoming more and more precipitated, and sighed with emotion in his heart, "You were only thirteen years old when I met you, and you will be twenty in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast." ”
But no, Xia Hanqiu pouted and complained, "It's obviously a year older, what's there to do on your birthday." It's time to cry. ”
"You have a lot of fresh ideas." Xia Wei took her clothes and came over just when she heard this. After spitting at her, he handed her the clothes and told her to quickly change them and leave first.
Even her daughter and son-in-law respect her, and no one in this house dares to make irresponsible remarks. She'll have to pay more attention to herself, too.
Xia Hanqiu compared what he was holding in his hand with what he was wearing. Actually, the difference is not much. But she still got up and took it off and put it on, and Duan Ziyi handed her clothes on the side.
"In other words, let's not toss in the future. Otherwise, I will give you a birthday. ”
"Don't like it that much?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I think it's too exciting." took the clothes and put them on, and saw that the change took the initiative to tie her belt, and she opened her arms to let him move, "There are many people, I don't know what to say, if it is cold at that time, how embarrassing, after all, it is all specially for me." ”
"You do what you do, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Duan Ziyi didn't give her a chance to speak again, and continued: "Just smile more, the guests have their own people to entertain, you can talk to whoever you want, if you don't want to, no one dares to come and forcibly pull you out when you hide in the back room, you, sometimes you are too unconscious of your identity, okay, let's see if there is anything that you haven't dressed." ”
Looking left and right, Xia Hanqiu gave him full marks, "For example, Yue is doing well." ”
"Master, madam, Lord Fu's family is here." Ah Jiu, who was wearing a woman's bun, walked in to report, and when Xia Hanqiu went out for a rare time last year, she accidentally saw a familiar face, and after thinking about it, she remembered that it was the inn junior who Wuyang City had helped her.
Wuyang City now also belongs to the Min State, but the city lord is not Qi Zhensheng for a long time, Qi Zhensheng has disappeared for more than a year, and he disappeared with a group of soldiers who once belonged to the Liang State.
Xia Hanqiu only thanked when he knew, and didn't ask anything more.
Qi Zhensheng, she doesn't even have hatred now, her heart is filled with another man, and she thinks of him less.
Whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with her, but with his ambition, I am afraid that it is more likely to be another mountain.
But the people who helped her, she always remembered, even if it was not worth mentioning to others, were the ones who reached out in her most difficult times.
Later, she asked people to check, only to find out that he was alone, and his brother and sister-in-law, father and mother all died in the war, so she asked people to bring him into the mansion and let Mingde watch and arrange a job for him.
didn't expect Ah Jiu to look at him in the right eye, since the two were in love, she didn't stop people from getting married, and bought A Jiu a rich dowry to fulfill the two of them.
Now one of the two is a housekeeper, and he is still in charge of the affairs of her house, and the one named Zhang Hu is the external housekeeper.
There were already guests, so the two of them were not sticky in the house, and went to the front yard side by side.
"Yo, our birthday lady is here." Fu Yingying joked when she saw her come out, they were all children, but her temperament hadn't changed much.
Xia Hanqiu greeted Mrs. Fu, stepped forward and hugged the child in the nurse's hand, the one-year-old and four-month-old child already knew how to recognize people, smiled at her, and shouted crisply, "Sister." ”
"These two words are second only to my father and mother in terms of clarity." wiped the saliva from the corner of her son's mouth, Fu Yingying smiled, "It must have been the meeting gift that Qiu gave at that time to please him." ”
"It's good to please you, you work hard to have another one, there are a lot of treasures in the warehouse."
Suddenly, a room full of women laughed.
Ke has become more and more shrewd in the past two years, but he has become more and more relaxed about his own people, especially for his sister-in-law, mother and son.
She knows very well that even if Hanqiu and Sanfang are closer, Xia Hanqiu's smartness, at least on the surface she will have a bowl of water, and her requirements are not high, so it is enough, as for whether she will be better to Sanfang in private, she will also look away, who doesn't have a distant relative?
She gave the boss a good girl, and she asked Hanqiu to check it not long ago, although selfishness is still inevitable, but that girl is really good, she is a neat, and a person with such a temperament should be able to carry it clearly.
The Xia family needs a daughter-in-law who can carry it well.
There's no need to drag it anymore, it's serious to get things done quickly.
Thinking about these trivial things in his heart, Ke's mouth was not ambiguous, answering when he should answer, and making fun when he should be funny, and there was laughter in the room for a while.
Mrs. Fu hugged her grandson, looked at the harmony in this room, and then looked at the corners of her mouth with a smile, and sat quietly at the Yang family, who was righted because she gave birth to a son, and her heart was also happy.
That's all she wanted.
Guests came one after another, Ke Shi and Xia Wei went to treat the older generation of guests for Xia Hanqiu, and the younger generation was greeted by Fu Yingying accompanying Xia Hanqiu.
Meng Ningzhi and others were the first to come.
This is the first time that they have surrounded Xia Hanqiu in such a high-profile manner.
Because not long ago, Xia Hanqiu told them that the time was coming.
After nearly two years of hard work, it is finally coming in handy.
"Are you here alone or ......?"
"Naturally, it's with my husband." Wu Linlang replied for everyone, if there were still people who were worried about the confrontation because of their husband's family at the beginning, now they are completely relieved, Huiting City has changed hands several times, so that the nobles of Huiting City dare not trust any country, and the people in this city will be close to the eye even if there is friction to look at, and the relationship will become closer and closer, and finally twisted into a rope.
If you really can't screw it, you either leave the pavilion, or your family road is ruined and gradually disappears in the eyes of everyone.
Whether there is any other reason for this, no one will delve into it.
There were more and more guests, Xia Hanqiu's face was about to stiffen, and he found a reason to pull Fu Yingying to the inner room.
"How can so many people come? Didn't you just invite people who had a relationship with me? ”
Fu Yingying has experienced such a scene since she was a child, and she is easy to deal with, so she just took the opportunity to drink a few sips of tea and said: "Of course it has something to do with you, the Xia family, the Fu family, the twelve people led by Wu Linlang, the in-laws who radiated from them, plus the people on your husband's side, don't they all have anything to do with you in the end?" ”
It's really like this, who doesn't have a few in-laws and a few old days, Xia Hanqiu suddenly felt that she was a little underestimating the meaning of gathering together today.
It's true to congratulate her on her birthday, but taking this opportunity to recognize people is also the idea of each family.
And that's exactly what happened.
Duan Ziyi raised his eyebrows when he looked at the number of people who exceeded expectations, and did not show his diswelcome to the uninvited people, and the people who looked at his reaction from the corner of his eyes breathed a sigh of relief.
It's that some people didn't have long eyes before, and after more than a year or two, they have also seen clearly who is the master of this Pavilion City, anyway, it can never be the city lord who is on the surface.
Zhang Jiabao, who had grown much taller and more calm, hurriedly walked in, came to Duan Ziyi's side and said a few words, Duan Ziyi got up and said to everyone who got up with him: "You guys talk slowly, I'll be out of company first, how new, you greet everyone for me." ”
Zheng Duoxin nodded in response.
Let Zhang Jiabao continue to be busy, Duan Ziyi went to the small side hall alone.
Several people inside the door heard the sound of footsteps and greeted the door.
"Qiu'er, you all have to know, you're all here, and I have to say that I'm working hard."
With a beard, even familiar people looked much more cheerful when they saw Mu Qing, who was afraid that he couldn't recognize him, "If I don't come, the master and junior brother will drive me out, and I have nowhere to go now." ”
Jiang Nian bought a house not far from Zheng's Mansion, and as soon as the injury healed, Mu Qing moved in with his master, and sometimes Jiang Nian would live back, so it was convenient to come and go.
The other two people in the house were Gao Zijun and Yuan Zhenghao.
The Yan Kingdom was destroyed, and the Yuan family, which had a shallow relationship with the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, of course would not end well, except for the four people who were not in Yandu, all of them were killed.
Yuan Zhenghao was able to escape, or when Huiting City fell, he planned to return to Yandu, and Mu Qing and Gao Zijun, who saw the situation in Yandu clearly, joined forces to stay, of course, the means were not so bright.
But later, he had to thank them for their lack of upright means, at least, that allowed him to stay alive, this year, he lived with Gao Zijun, except for occasional dealings with Mu Qing, he rarely appeared in front of people. (To be continued......)
