Chapter 111: Preparing for the Birthday Banquet

Once there is a dowry, it is easy to say anything, Song Wuyang returned home, invited Mrs. Wang over, and let Mrs. Wang look at the dowry, the treasures in the treasury are all the dowry gifts he is about to give to the Chu family.

The warehouse is full of Xiongnu items that Song Dongyang has stolen from the battlefield battles over the years, as well as what General Zhao rewarded him every time, he hid it here.

These dowries are enough to withstand the scene, and Mrs. Wang did not delay and took Song Wuyang directly to the door, and Song Yang's dowry was lifted again and again, and it was enough to lift twenty-eight units.

These dowry gifts are enough to show that he attaches great importance to the Chu family, and the two families have set the day together.

Both of them are not young, and it is not good to delay any longer, so it will be set for the twentieth day of the lunar month. It's just right now, almost a month and a half.

There is also plenty of time to prepare, and it is not too hasty and the preparation is stressful.

For this time, Song Dongyang was extremely satisfied.

It's that once it's settled, they're fiancΓ©s, and they can't see each other again. Thinking of this, Song Dongyang still felt a little uncomfortable, and only relied on letters to send his thoughts every day.

In the winter moon, it is Zhou Jingya's birthday, and she is pregnant. Naturally, it is particularly delicate, and the birthday banquet must also be well prepared.

Chu Jingting's marriage, this is over for the time being.

Dowry or something, naturally the old lady has to worry about it.

Aunt Zheng organized a birthday banquet for the first time, and there were many people who didn't understand, and it was inevitable to ask Aunt Hu for advice from time to time, and the two of them had to be busy from morning to night, Zhou Jingya's birthday banquet.

This birthday banquet is the county lord's specifications, and the preparation is extremely cumbersome, and this chat is about serving the old lady every morning. When I came back, I was too busy to eat breakfast, so I had to tell the maid to prepare what she had to do.

After Rouge learned that Chu Jingting's marriage had been decided, she was also busy preparing to give Su Xun's baby from the treasury to her.

Pong House.

After Pang Yulang learned that Miss Chu's marriage had been decided, he was filled with grief in his heart, and locked himself in his home for several days, borrowing wine all day to kill his sorrows.

No matter how much Mrs. Pang persuaded her, in the end, Mrs. Pang couldn't, so she found someone to smash the door open.

Pang Yulang shouted loudly to Mrs. Pang through the strength of the wine.

"Mother, why are you looking for someone to say bad things about Jing Ting, and what should you do in the future for Jing Ting? You have already promised me that you want to marry Jing Ting back, what is the point of you doing this? ”

Pang Yulang spoke a little slurred because of the wine, but Mrs. Pang understood. dismissed the people around him.

Facing Pang Yulang alone.

"Yulang, my son. Mother, this can't be helped. If you don't agree, you're going on a hunger strike. Watching her son suffer, how can she bear to be a mother? You can only promise you, but Niang really doesn't want her Chu Jingting to enter our house, so she can only make this decision. ”

"Mother, you obviously liked her so much before, and at the banquet, you also gave her the white jade bracelet."

"It's different, my mother likes her because her family background is not bad, but she is a concubine, and no matter how good her family background is, it has nothing to do with her."

"How about she being a concubine, but she is the eldest daughter? The Chu family has only one daughter, what is the difference between this and a concubine? Do you have to care about her identity as a concubine? ”

"Why don't you understand? What about the Chu family's daughter? She either crawled out of the belly of the Jingya County Lord, or she couldn't. ”

"I don't want to tell you, I love Jing Ting, I only love her in my life, I just want to marry her as a wife, I don't want anyone but her."

"Son, my mother will find you a better one than her. Don't say that, okay? ”

I'm afraid that this mother of mine will never understand her heart.

"Do you know why the old woman who said that the rumor was spread from the Pang family died?"

"Wasn't it robbed?"

Pang Yulang stood up, still holding the wine bottle and swaying it.

"Do you think it's really that simple? Although you gave the old woman a sum of money, let the old woman keep the secret for you. But then I wanted to find out where the rumor came from, so I asked my men to go down and investigate, and when I found out about the old woman, I gave her a sum of money, and she told me everything that had happened. ”

"What, you know?"

"Yes, not only do I know, but I also know that you instructed her to go. The reason is that she doesn't want me to marry her. But daughter, you have been a housewife for so many years, didn't you think that you could give money to let her keep your secret? I gave her money, and she said it to me, and when someone gave her money, she could say it.

At that time, I'm afraid that I will not only know, but I am afraid that the whole city will know, while inviting the matchmaker to come to the door to talk about the matchmaker, and on the other hand, secretly spreading rumors, do you say that there are still girls in such a family who dare to marry in the future? ”

Madame Pang was very panicked, she didn't want anyone else to know about it, especially her son.

She tried to hide everything, but she didn't know what to say.

My mouth smuttered for a long time, but I still didn't say a word.

"Mother, you don't have to say it anymore. The marriage between the Chu family and the Song family has been decided, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't need to dig out your mind to spread rumors and hurt others, I don't know that such words actually came out of my mother's mouth, mother, are you still the knowledgeable housewife of our Pang family? ”

"Me, son, listen to me, I didn't mean that, I just..."

"You just don't want me to marry her, do you? But the measures you took were too drastic, and if I hadn't asked my subordinates to kill him, I'm afraid that the old woman would have spread the word all over the city. I don't want to move out like big brother, because then you won't have anything to rely on.

But you, I want to ask you to make one thing clear, I'm grown up, and I don't need you to control my own marriage. What my eldest brother doesn't like, I don't like as a younger brother either. ”

After saying this, regardless of Mrs. Pang's reaction? I walked to the bed and fell asleep.

Mrs. Pang stood there for a long time, she didn't understand why someone else knew about this matter when it was so secretive?

She felt scared for a while, what she cared about most was her reputation, but if this matter spread, it would ruin not only his reputation, but also the reputation of the entire Pang Mansion.

At the same time, she was very glad that if her son hadn't found out and killed the old woman in time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"That son, you sleep well, and your mother will leave first."

Pang Yulang didn't know if he was asleep or what's going on, so he didn't respond to him.

Aunt Hu and Aunt Zheng were busy preparing for the banquet, and they inevitably had to deal with the ladies in various mansions.

Even with Chu Jingting, I also met a lot of young ladies, and I also met a few friends at the chrysanthemum banquet, but now only Rouge is the only one who has dealings with her.

Zhou Jingya doesn't want to care who Chu Jingting married now, and who she married has nothing to do with her, what Mama said is right, the most important thing for her now is to protect the child in her belly.

I prepared for more than ten days. Aunt Hu and Aunt Zheng prepared the birthday banquet properly.

In order to show solemnity, the invitations of each family were personally delivered by Aunt Zheng.

The other ladies saw that Aunt Zheng treated her housemother so wholeheartedly, and they were deeply appreciated by everyone, and for a while, Aunt Zheng's reputation miraculously improved among the ladies.

These days, she has not been idle to help the old lady choose a lot of dowries for Chu Jingting. Since the Song family sent twenty-eight dowries, the Chu family's return gifts could not be less, and they even returned with all the dowries, and added eighteen more dowries.

Chu Changjian was also very satisfied with this marriage, and he married Zhou Jingya, the county lord, for the sake of family power. There was a lot of pain in my heart, and I couldn't put it into words.

Then his children also follow his old path, for Chu Jingting is the only daughter by his side, he only hopes that she can live happily.

Chu Changjian gave several shops under the name of the Chu family to Chu Jingting as wedding gifts. It's not a dowry, it's a little bit of his father's heart.

There are three days left before Zhou Jingya's birthday, and she can't wait and is very excited.

In previous years, although she said that she was in charge of the Chu family, it didn't mean much to hold a birthday banquet for herself, but this year was different, with a child in her belly and someone else to handle it for her, she was also extremely happy to see it, and let the next person inquire. The banquet was very grand.

The little opinion I had about Aunt Zheng before also disappeared with this birthday banquet.

Because the month is old, I don't stay in my yard every day. Although he said that he didn't dare to go out of the house, he was also shuttling back and forth in the courtyards of various aunts in the house. Everyone was so happy to see her, and they had to prepare their birthday gifts more generously.

Aunt Zhang is different, Aunt Zhang's months are older than her, but she just recuperates in her own yard every day, and rarely comes out, even if she comes out, it's just. Go for a walk in the garden.

Since Aunt Li's mother and son have no brains, they are messing around on the day Song Er Gongzi came to the door. angered the old lady, and the old lady locked the mother and son in the courtyard. No one is allowed to come out without her orders?

Although Aunt Zheng also hates Aunt Li in her heart, she has no brains to do such a thing.

Madame's birthday is getting closer and closer, if there is still an aunt in the house who did not attend the banquet, so as not to fall into the tongue of others, after all, this is a scandal of the Chu family, and it is not appropriate to publicize it.

"Old lady, this Aunt Li, mother and son. I guess I knew it was wrong, so let them out. ”

"Why are you interceding for them? This Aunt Li has no friendship with you. ”

"The concubine is not interceding for Aunt Li, but this lady's banquet is coming soon. If it's an aunt in the house. The young master doesn't participate in all of them, and others will say that our Chu family..."

The lady was silent for a moment. Indeed, what Aunt Zheng said makes sense.

Now that someone has said this, he will also push the boat and agree, and wait until the banquet is over to lock up the mother and son.

"Well, according to what you say, when the banquet is over, the mother and son will immediately return to their own courtyard and will not be allowed to come out."

"Yes, thank you for the size, old lady."

After Aunt Li's mother and son got the old lady's order, they could come out. I am also extremely happy in my heart, I have been locked up for more than ten days, and my temperament is not so anxious.

I also figured it out, what's wrong with doing that by myself? I only hate myself for being too reckless and not thinking about the consequences of things.

The mother and son went to thank the old lady.

Although the old lady was upset to see them, they knew to come to thank them. It's good, this Aunt Li doesn't matter, but this Chu Wentao is his own grandson and is reluctant to be punished heavily. Wait until the banquet is over and then close it for a while. , find a reason to let him out.

But what should I do with this Li Niang? The old lady still has to think about it in her heart. He didn't want his grandson to have such a stupid birth mother.
