In a blink of an eye, on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, Daiyu thought of last year's birthday banquet, and had greater expectations for this year's birthday, so she deliberately got up early to freshen up and dress up, comb her cloud bun, insert beads and emeralds, wipe rouge, paint Dai's eyebrows, paint blush, draw oblique red, and point lip grease.

Take care of the makeup, and match the clothes, the upper body is wearing a crescent white embroidered hibiscus flower crepe shirt, a coat of light fish white poke yarn Haitang pattern rolling gold hanging line velvet small sleeves, the neck is draped with a chain of wishful wealth and continuous cloud shoulders, white gauze pants, the outer cover is decorated with beaded hydrangea Baifu skirt, the waist is tied with a green chain hanging beard, wearing two pieces of concentric lotus mutton fat white jade pendant, and two ringing gold bracelets on each wrist.

Lu Jing saw that Daiyu was dressed like a fairy, so he smiled and said, "I don't know why the fairy came to the mortal world, but there is a place where you need to work hard?" ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "This fairy heard that your wife is celebrating today, and she has come down to congratulate her." ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "My wife loves to sleep lazily, and she hasn't gotten up yet, so please let the fairy eat with Xiaosheng first!" ”

Daiyu suddenly said when she heard this: "Who likes to sleep lazy, if it weren't for your trouble at night, I wouldn't be at peace, I would get up earlier than you every day." ”

Lu Jing smiled and said, "It's all my fault, don't be angry, madam, I'm joking!" Then they joined hands with Daiyu to share breakfast.

Halfway through the meal, Zijuan came to report that someone outside had handed over a post.

Lu Jing took it and looked at it, and immediately frowned, and his face was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Daiyu instantly chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who made the post?" ”

Lu Jing hesitated and said: "It's Yan Zhi, Cheng Yu, and Wen Jing who invited a few of them, saying that they have something to discuss, I may have to go out today, and I invite Mrs..."

Before he finished speaking, Daiyu directly interrupted him and said: "Since they have something to do with their husband, the husband will go to do things first, the concubine's birthday will be celebrated every year, don't delay the husband's big event." ”

Lu Jing thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take a look, if it's nothing serious, I'll rush back to accompany Mrs. immediately." ”

Daiyu nodded, feeling a little lost.

Seeing that Daiyu was depressed, Lu Jing hurriedly got up and took out a box and gave it to Daiyu, and said with a smile: "I thought I would give it to Mrs. again, but now I will give it to Mrs. and congratulate Mrs. Fangchen." ”

Daiyu was secretly lost in her heart, but when she saw the gift, she instantly turned into joy, and opened the box with anticipation, and saw that it was just a jade hairpin, although exquisite, but it was similar to the hairpin sent last year, and she couldn't help but feel more lost, but she didn't show it, and nodded happily.

Lu Jing picked up the jade hairpin and inserted it into Daiyu's bun, and said with a smile: "It just complements Madame's makeup today!" ”

Daiyu responded with a smile and urged Lu Jing to continue eating.

Lu Jing hurriedly ate a few bites, and then explained: "I have arranged the opera troupe and banquet noodles in the west garden, Madame can go over directly, and I will make the cake and longevity noodles for you when I come back." ”

Daiyu nodded and persuaded: "Husband, let's eat some more, I don't care about this time!" ”

Lu Jing shook his head, explained a few more words, and left in a hurry.

Daiyu saw Lu Jing's back drifting away, hugged the box and sighed silently, and had no intention of eating, so she asked people to withdraw breakfast, return to the bedroom alone, and sit on the edge of the bed to feel sad.

A quarter of an hour later, Zijuan came to report that Mama Qi, Mama Li, Aunt Luo, Yinglian, Qingwen, Youxia and others had come to congratulate Mrs. on her birthday.

Daiyu listened to the powder and touch-up makeup, and after cleaning up the makeup, she went to the meeting room in the backyard.

About 100 male servants, women, maids, and mothers-in-law from the Lu and Lin families came in different classes to congratulate.

Daiyu reluctantly lifted her spirits and responded to everyone, and heard Zijuan say that Aunt Luo, Lu Zhiyu, Li Wen, and Li Qi also came to congratulate her, and hurriedly greeted her.

Aunt Luo took Li Wen, Li Qi, and Zhiyu to congratulate Daiyu and gave her a pair of jade bracelets.

After Daiyu accepted it, she hurriedly smiled and said: "How dare Aunt Daiyu respect her birthday on her birthday, I am afraid that I will lose my blessings, it just so happens that my husband has prepared a banquet, if my aunt loves Daiyu, she will definitely have more drinks in a while." ”

Aunt Luo smiled: "Your sisters only told me a few days ago, saying that today is a good day for you, and I also said that you are busy these days, and the two mansions rely on you, so you should be celebrated, what about Brother Jing?" Why didn't I see him. ”

Daiyu hurriedly told what happened just now, and asked Zijuan to see how the theater troupe and banquet were prepared over there.

Not long after, Zijuan came back and reported that everything was ready over there, and she was waiting for her to pass.

When Daiyu heard this, she invited Aunt Luo, Li Wen, and Li Qi to listen to the play in the Lin family's garden, and asked Lu Zhiyu to be responsible for welcoming Feng Xuan, Grandma Xu, Xu Lan, Li Kun, Yingchun, Tanchun and others.

At around the clock, all the guests invited by Daiyu arrived, and Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu entertained everyone to the table.

There are four main tables in the garden, on which are placed all kinds of melons and fruits, pastries and cakes, and wine and plum wine.

Everyone found a seat and sat down, and it was still the stage in the forest garden.

At this time, the stage was singing the Eight Immortals to celebrate his birthday, and after a quarter of an hour, the opera ended, and the troupe sent the repertoire, and Daiyu invited Aunt Luo, Grandma Xu, Grandma Zhang and others to order the play.

Several people let each order an auspicious play, and let Daiyu order, Daiyu ordered "Immortal Yuan", "Wish", "Reunion" three plays, and then let the sisters order.

Xu Lan, Feng Xuan, Li Kun and others saw that there were many sisters, and they refused to order, and finally Daiyu had to order "Liu Erdangyi", "Second Sister Liu Rushes to the Meeting", "Sweeping Flowers and Three Drunks" and other lively dramas.

At noon, Daiyu ordered people to serve wine and food, so stewed duck with fish maw, braised ham with wine, grouse with sugar shoots, cloud and sea cucumber, hibiscus tofu, yellow sprouts and simmered white goose and other exquisite delicacies were served, and there were ten plates containing fruits, side dishes, etc., and everyone made a wine order during the banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Daiyu ordered people to withdraw the remnants of the table, and everyone listened to a few more plays and said goodbye one after another.

After Daiyu sent away the guests, it was already time for Shen, and after returning to Nuanyu Hall, she asked Zijuan to go forward to ask for Lu Jing's news.

Not long after, Zijuan turned around and reported: "Before the beginning, the master sent someone back, saying that there were a few old people from the south of the Yangtze River, and he wanted to set up a banquet to entertain them, and it was difficult to get out, saying that he would come back in the evening and ask his wife for guilt." ”

Daiyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart after hearing this, although today's birthday banquet was very lively, and there were many relatives and friends who came, she always felt that something was missing, and she felt very tired after being busy. I can't help but recall last year's birthday, which was more cumbersome than this year, but I didn't feel tired either.

I thought of last year, when my husband was decorating the flower hall, tying flower trees, and giving so many gifts such as exotic flowers and plants, hairpins, and birthday cakes.

This year, I just sent a jade hairpin, arranged a drama troupe and a banquet, and there was a huge gap in my heart in an instant, and my husband did not show up last year, but I felt that there was his shadow everywhere, but this year I was only busy, and I couldn't help but secretly wonder if I got married, and my husband didn't care about himself.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a lot of thoughts, and I couldn't help but feel that I was spoiled and loved so much before marriage, and I didn't take myself to heart so soon after marriage.

Seeing Daiyu secretly wiping away her tears, Zijuan was anxious, and wanted to tell her the truth several times, but was secretly persuaded by Qingwen.

At sunset, Daiyu saw that Lu Jing had not returned, and she was even more sad, wondering if she could still eat today's birthday cake and longevity noodles.

Not long after, Aunt Luo brought Lu Zhiyu, Li Wen, and Li Qi over to talk.

Aunt Luo asked, "What about Brother Jing?" Why haven't you come back yet, he doesn't know how to handle your good days, so he lets you be in that Zhang Luo by yourself. ”

Daiyu hurriedly concealed her sad emotions and explained for Lu Jing: "I think there is something important over there that I can't come back, today's drama scene is arranged by my husband, and Daiyu doesn't work much." ”

Aunt Luo saw that Daiyu was smiling, and hurriedly took her hand and comforted: "Good girl, don't be wronged in your heart, when he comes back, I will call the shots for you, I have to ask him to compensate you in front of you, he is also in the blessing and does not know the blessing, and he doesn't know how to feel distressed if he has such a good daughter-in-law." ”

Lu Zhiyu also pretended to be angry next to him and said: "That's it, I thought my brother would have rushed back a long time ago, sister-in-law, don't worry, even if my aunt doesn't say it, I will fight for my sister-in-law." ”

Li Wen and Li Qi also immediately spoke up, saying that when Lu Jing came back, they would question him for Daiyu.

Daiyu hurriedly stopped everyone: "My husband has always been very good to me, but today is just a special situation, and he can't help himself, aunt, sisters, don't be harsh on him!" ”

Aunt Luo hurriedly said: "Good boy, you are a well-informed person, don't cover it up for him, this is what he did wrong, I can't let you suffer this grievance." ”

Daiyu was anxious in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Aunt misunderstood, Daiyu has no grievances in her heart." ”

Lu Zhiyu stood up suddenly, and said with a small face: "Brother is too much this time, good sister-in-law, don't worry, I must stand up for you, I will go and ask the housekeeper to send someone to call my brother back!" ”

Li Wen and Li Qi also stood up at the same time and said, "Let's go with you." With that, the three of them left together.

Daiyu wanted to stop it, but Aunt Luo hurriedly pulled her and said, "Let's just sit here and wait, let Zhiyu and the others go and order someone to call Brother Jing back, your good day can't be delayed like this." ”

Although Daiyu was a little disappointed with today's birthday and complained a little about Lu Jing, she didn't want others to question her husband, and she was very anxious to see them like this at the moment.

Seeing this, Zijuan hurriedly said, "Madam, Qingwen and I are going to see the eldest girls." ”

Daiyu nodded and said, "You guys hurry up and persuade the big girls to come back." ”

Zijuan listened, so she took Qingwen, Youxia, and Qingqiu away, and only Aunt Luo and Daiyu were left in the house, and Aunt Luo pulled Daiyu to talk, Daiyu was worried, but just dealt with it casually.
