In the blink of an eye, the weather is clear and the wind is smooth. Two roll sheds were erected in the Yangong Mansion, which were in the courtyard of the Muli Building and the Taoyao Pavilion, for the needs of the summer coolness.

Liu Fufeng leaned in the east chamber and looked at the roll shed, and said to Liu Yifeng in the cabinet while fanning the fan: "Our Taoyao Pavilion is really more and more majestic, and it is on an equal footing with Mu Li Lou." ”

Liu Yifeng had already changed into light gauze and soft silk clothes, and said with a smile: "This summer is very hot this year, and we can also borrow a light after building a roll shed." You also know that I am the most afraid of the heat, and I don't want to be too harsh when I want to go to the room. ”

Liu Fufeng walked back and sat next to Liu Yifeng, "We are not harsh masters in the upper room, did you see that Bai Ziyan before?" ”

"Speaking of which, Yan Lang is really miserable, Yan Guilan was punished by the master's mother, and when he returned to the room, he was angry with him. Listening to Gan Tangxuan's little servant come out and say, in the middle of the night, the third watch came from Lan's master bedroom with a scream like killing a pig, and when he saw Ziyan the next day, he was covered with bruises. ”

"Yan Guilan's people are not big, and their temper is really not small."

"It should be feng shui in turn, at this time last year, Bai Ziyan also laughed at you and I for not being used by the evening master, and we were not ashamed of us outside."

"This is called Seon's loss of his horse, and he doesn't know if it's a blessing!"

Erliu said thoughtfully, Liu Yifeng casually took a sachet and handed it to Liu Fufeng, "Fulang, look at my embroidery?" ”

Liu Fufeng took it in his hand and touched the embroiderer, "Yilang is attentive, and he will go back to Liufu tomorrow for Sister Wei?" ”

"Sister Wei and I have been embroidered for a long time, and I have nothing to do lately."

"Go and listen to the mistress this morning, she won't go tomorrow for her mother's birthday."

"Didn't she shirk her body on the birthday of the third princess before, and she was not happy. Since the late Lord's wedding, she has been reluctant to go out and show her face. ”

"Look at the master's mother's faction, she wants to push the lord to the throne! It is estimated that in another year or two, the late lord will be able to officially take the title of the female grandfather. ”

"Fu Lang can't talk too much, if you say that the two masters of Zhumei Yuan and Gan Tangxuan don't have no chance."

"The night lord is guarding the Nine Highnesses, why is it useless? Is Her Majesty really so ruthless? ”

"We'll see."

The eldest female official of Mu Li Lou passed under the corridor of the east wing, and Erliu hurriedly got up and looked out, only to see a row of maids carrying the burden of birth behind her. The gift box is placed in the roll shed and the lid is opened one by one.

Hearing this, Jiu Ling walked out of the Taoyao Pavilion first, and greeted Shuyu with a big fight, and Xu Moqing's master and servant also followed. Shuyu presented the gift list to Xu Moqing with both hands, and accepted the gift with Tong Sheng Qiusheng.

This is to prepare a birthday gift for the housewife of the Liu family. Erliu also moved in the east chamber, picking up the items to bring back to Liu's house tomorrow, and the two of them naturally prepared gifts for their mothers, although they were not as generous as Yan's mother, in the end, it was a little filial piety for them to be children.

Shuyu explained to them and left the Taoyao Pavilion, and Jiu Ling sent someone to move the cage into the lower room to take care of it. Xu Moqing walked into the cabinet, a little uncertain in his heart, and called Jiu Ling to ask: "Ling Guan'er, was the Liu family's housewife also prepared for her birthday in previous years?" ”

It turned out that this cage was full of cloth utensils, although the cloth utensils were not shoddy, but compared with the previous congratulatory gifts of the three princesses, it was really a world of difference.

Jiu Ling replied with a forked hand: "Master Lang, if it weren't for your face this year, the gifts prepared for the Liu family would not be as good as these." ”

"Why is that?" Xu Moqing was puzzled.

Jiu Ling couldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of the master's family, so he smiled embarrassedly: "Master Lang, don't ask me to talk about it, the lord will explain it to you later later." ”

Having said that, Xu Moqing still didn't dare to take it lightly, if he went to Liu's house tomorrow to make trouble, he would always be to blame. Thinking of this, he ordered Qiusheng to go to his box and take out an authentic painting and a set of green jade tea cups with excellent color. Put these two together with the gifts, and prepare to give them together when you go to Liu's house tomorrow.

At noon the next day, Yan Gui came to the house to clean up and stop at home, and dared to go to Liu's house to celebrate his birthday with her husband Xu Moqing, her brother Yan Zeyin, and Liu Fufeng and Liu Yifeng.

Xu Moqing sat on a big red colored banner sedan chair, the remaining three male dependents rode a small sedan chair, and Yan Guiwan rode at the front of the team.

The distance between Liufu and Yanfu is not too far, and they came to the head of Liu's house in about half an hour. Liu Fufeng and Liu Yifeng are of course happy to return to their home, all of them are Zhu Fu powder, flower arrangement, brocade skirt and embroidered shirts, and the dress is enchanting. Yan Zeyin is not to be outdone, although she is not as charming as Erliu, she is also very cute.

It's still early, and they arrive early when Yan returns late, because the Yan family and the Liu family are close relatives, so they have to come early, and they can also help the Liu family inside and outside to do things together. This Liu family can't be compared with the princess's mansion, and even the Yan Mansion has no way to compare, and most of the people who come to celebrate their birthday are relatives and neighbors.

Liu Jinyun, the mother of the Liu family, has an appointment to be confused, and there is an old father who is deaf and dazzled and has been bedridden for many years, in addition to the main husband Lang Lian, there are two concubines under the house - Xiaolian and Gu. This Gu is Erliu's biological father. But being oppressed by the two Lian clans in a row, how much better can his situation be? Erliu was not sent to Yanfu to make a room before he was early!

Liu Jinyun and Yan Leran were born and died together, which is why Liu Jinyun married his younger brother Liu Congzhou to Yan Leran. I don't know whether to say that Liu Jinyun is unlucky, or whether to say that she is blessed with a great life, in short, in a battle, she was cut by the enemy and injured her tendons, resulting in the complete destruction of an entire arm, and thus ruined her military career.

The fates of Liu Jinyun and Yan Leran began to be different, Yan Leran fought bravely to kill the enemy and rose step by step, until he died in battle to win honor for the Yan family and was promoted to the rank of duke. At that time, Zhu Taiwei was the superior general of the two of them, and Zhu Taiwei remembered the old love and donated a false official to Liu Jinyun in Kyoto, and she received a small amount of support from the Yan family, and her life was reasonable.

Today's Liu family is very lively, the first moment to knock on the door is a piece of lights, and the mother of Liu is wearing a crimson longevity robe to welcome Xu Moqing. The Liu family gathered in the courtyard to bow down with Xu Moqing.

"The ancestral tomb of the Liu family must be smoking, and His Royal Highness the Ninth can come to my Liu family's humble house today!" Liu Jinyun complimented loudly.

"Master Liu's mother, hurry up, and all the secretaries of the Liu family should also get up quickly. I am the husband of the young master of Yan, and since it is a family banquet, there is no need to make such a big gift. Xu Moqing said humbly.

Liu Jinyun shirked several times before getting up, leading Xu Moqing and the others into the main hall and sitting down. Yan Guiwan took his brother and Erliu to congratulate Liu Jinyun on his birthday.

"I wish my aunt a better life than Nanshan."

"Ze'er wishes my aunt a blessing like the East China Sea."

"Fufeng prays for my mother's children and grandchildren to wrap around my knees."

"It is advisable to sing the song of mother's virtue and filial piety."

Liu Jinyun's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, especially after seeing the authentic famous paintings and green jade teacups that Xu Moqing prepared for her. Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan stayed in the main hall to accompany their aunt and uncle to talk, Liu Xuanwei had already pulled Yan Zeyin down in the backyard to have fun, and Fufeng and Yifeng naturally slipped into the room to meet their biological father.

"You two haven't been back in a while." Gu smiled and filled them with tea.

Liu Fufeng took out a bag of broken silver from his body and handed it to Gu's hands, "Since the late Lord's wedding, we moved into Taoyao Pavilion to set up our own courtyard, which is not more convenient than before, and there are many restrictions on entering and exiting. ”

Gu Shi shirked not wanting this money, "You brothers keep your body, I have monthly money to spend." ”

"Daddy, don't excuse us, we don't know how the big and small Lian clan oppressed you. My sister never treats us badly in terms of money, so Daddy should take it. ”

Gu Shi reluctantly picked it up, "Don't help me in the future, I know that the two of you are not having a good time in the Yan family." The master mother has always hoped that the two of you can take down one of the late young masters, but unexpectedly, a Nine Emperor Prince will be killed halfway. ”

Liu Jinyun often scolded Erliu in Gu's ear for being useless, and he had not passed through the room with Yan Guiwan after going to Liu's house for a few years, but if he gave birth to a boy and a half girl with Yan Guiwan, it would not be in vain to think about it in the past few years.

Gu didn't dare to talk about Erliu, but how could Erliu not know? There are Liu Xuanting under the Lian family, including Liu Jinyun himself, who often complains to the brothers.

Suddenly, I heard Liu Xuanwei shouting in the hall, "Brother Yifeng, Brother Yifeng, where are you?" ”

Liu Yifeng hurriedly opened the door and saw Liu Xuanwei standing at the door with Yan Zeyin. The two of them walked in and saluted the Gu family first, and Liu Xuanwei immediately spread her palms to Liu Yifeng, "Brother Yifeng, what about the sachet you promised to embroider for me?" ”

Liu Yifeng took out the sachet and handed it to Liu Xuanwei, and said with a smile: "I haven't forgotten this matter!" ”

Liu Xuanwei took the sachet in her hand and looked at it, and showed off to Yan Zeyin on the side: "Brother Ze, look at how beautiful this stitch and embroidery are, it is worthy of being from my brother Yifeng." She leaned over to Yan Zeyin and smiled disdainfully, "You...... Don't you know how to sew? ”

Yan Zeyin glanced at Liu Xuanwei, pulled Liu Yifeng and said, "Come with us to the yard to play!" I see there are several butterflies in the yard, let's go catch them! ”

"Lord Ze, I'm afraid that there will be more and more relatives and friends who will come to celebrate his birthday in a while." Liu Fufeng shirked.

Liu Xuanwei raised her head and said as if packing a ticket: "What is Brother Fufeng afraid of?" I won't be able to let you do your work for a while. There are so many little servants in the family. Besides, it's still early! ”

Several people were still discussing in Gu's room, and Xiao Lian's was standing outside the door at some point. He walked in with a bitter gourd face, and a pungent aroma came in from his body. Yan Zeyin couldn't help himself from covering his nose, but he was about to vomit.

"Ze'er, Wei'er, let's go to the yard to play first. I have something to say to their father and son. ”

Yan Zeyin saw that he had the opportunity to leave, and immediately pulled Liu Xuanwei and ran out, but Liu Xuanwei still shouted: "Brother Yifeng, you will go to the courtyard to play with us in a while!" ”

Gu's door was closed again, and there were two more guards at the door.

Xiao Lian sat at the top of the house, and Gu stood on both sides with Erliu.

"The male dependents do your part, it's really a shame for our Liu family!" Xiao Lian glared at Erliu fiercely, "What is the most important thing for us to be men?" It's not that you have to serve your own female monarch well, and be able to open up branches and manage internal affairs for your female monarch. ”
