Chapter 101: The Full Moon Banquet (5)
Mrs. Zhu was talking to several noble ladies about right and wrong, and suddenly interrupted the conversation to a girl who specialized in running errands, and couldn't help but feel bored, and listened to this girl's white teeth and clear mouth, and clearly conveyed Shen Xueqing's instructions, and couldn't help but pause. (District 8)
"Since it's a full moon banquet, my mother's family should have gone to see my grandson, but I met my eyes with a few wives, so I kept them for a while, since your grandmother is not at ease, send someone to urge, then ask a few mother's wives to move!"
Mrs. Zhou heard what she said, and mocked Shen Xueqing for not respecting her, so she couldn't help but feel evil in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. is hospitable, although our concubine has only been here for a while, I have already felt that my wife is amiable, but we have been here for so long, we have never seen the face of our daughter and grandson, so I can't help but miss it in my heart, and now that my daughter has sent someone to clear it, I should go over and take a look!" ”
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she was speechless for a while, and said in her heart: "Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, look at this sharp-toothed old man, in a few words, it is actually said that I hindered your mother and daughter from meeting." It's really a mother who must have a daughter, your daughter is also in front of me, and the back is a set, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, the ancients don't deceive me! ”
After a hundred turns, Mrs. Zhu immediately smiled and said, "My mother is laughing!" Xiaohong, let's take a few wives! ”
Xiaohong sighed and slowly walked to the front.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Zhu again, and turned her head to keep up with Xiaohong's pace. Mrs. Wu and Chen glanced at each other, and they couldn't understand Mrs. Zhou's thoughts, so they had to follow. Pan Cuilian, An Qichun, and Chen Yun have learned from each other.
A line out of the Binyue Building, from the front porch to the west, through the moon gate, and through a north-south road, only to see a magnificent courtyard in front of you.
The girl Xiaohong knew the rules very well, took the lead in crossing the threshold, bowed down to welcome Mrs. Zhou and others into the hospital, and then followed everyone step by step.
Chen Yun walked and looked, only to see that the courtyard was white grinding walls, and there were osmanthus and begonia trees planted next to the wall, and stone tables and chairs were set up in the open space, and there was a zigzag pebble path leading directly to the study, which was very simple and sophisticated.
Suddenly entered the main room, the room was already full of people, Chen Yun looked at it, and there were several people who were very familiar. Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that I had met them when Shen Xueqing got married last year, including Wei Siluo, Jiang Suxin, and Tao Wenyu, and seeing that they had high chests and low waists, and they no longer wore zongzi like Miss Boudoir, and they knew that they hadn't seen each other for a few years, and these people had all married into wives.
Shen Xueru followed behind, only to see that the room was wide and bright, with an Arhat bed by the window, a doll red felt blanket in the bed, a large mattress in autumn fragrance on the front, and a pair of plum blossom-style carved lacquer small tables on both sides, and vases were placed on the small tables, and fresh flowers were inserted in the vase.
At that time, Shen Xueqing leaned on a carmine pillow, holding the baby in her arms, laughing happily, and chatting with her best friend next to her.
Mrs. Zhou loved her daughter very much, and walked up in three steps and two steps, while looking at Shen Xueqing carefully, she saw that her hair was slightly loose, her head was wrapped around her forehead, her face was slightly red, and there seemed to be a lot of flesh on her cheeks, and she couldn't help but feel big
Feeling relieved, I saw that the baby was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, and he loved it more and more, so he hurriedly stretched out his right arm, touched his grandson with his hand, and said with a smile: "What time is it, he is asleep?" ”
"He, now that he's asleep, it's time to make trouble at night, and it's so noisy that people can't sleep peacefully!" Shen Xueqing complained while looking at Mrs. Zhou, but she couldn't see Shen's mother and Shen Xueyuan, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you see the old ancestor and the second sister?" ”
Chen said from the side: "The old lady thinks about you and the child in her heart, but she is old and doesn't like to go outside, so she will give up!" However, the old lady couldn't come, but we brought the congratulatory gift, wait, I want you to take a look! ”
Shen Xueqing grinned.
Chen Yun saw that she was in a good mood, and also said: "Sister Yuan, it's not very convenient there, so I told me in advance and asked me to apologize to you!" ”
Shen Xueqing was slightly curious, and hurriedly asked, "Why is she inconvenient again?" ”
Chen Yun was stunned and said, "Sister Yuan has a child's breath!" ”
"She's only been married for a long time, why did she suddenly have it?" Mrs. Zhou said to herself, her voice gradually lowered, "This Aunt Fan is also too quick to decide, in less than two months, this is about to be a father, what a blessing!" ”
When Chen Yun heard this, she had nothing to say, but she was secretly worried about when she would have such blessings.
Shen Xueqing hugged the big fat boy for a long time, so as not to have a sore arm, she slowly transferred the child to Mrs. Zhou's arms, and then moved her body, while scanning the female guests in the room, she called out to the personal service of Furong, and quietly asked, "Is the happy bed ready?" ”
Fleur whispered: "It's ready early, and the items prepared by grandma in advance are all on the wedding bed tonight!" ”
"Send the girl in!" Shen Xueqing commanded.
Furong took the order and left, a little, and led two little girls carrying Teng Zhuxi's bed and two elderly mothers to come in step by step.
The flow of people gathered all at once. Chen Yun glanced through the crowd, and saw that there were many objects on the wedding bed placed in the hall, including gold melon seeds, silver collars, champion cards, rabbit hair, Hui ink, Duan inkstone, rice paper, jade bow, copper coins, four books and five classics, etc.
Shen Xueqing saw that everything was ready, so she hurriedly hugged the little doll and put it on the happy bed, and then squatted down to lure the little doll to grab the objects on the happy bed.
The little doll is only full moon old, and she doesn't understand anything, and as soon as she leaves her mother's arms, her eyes are suddenly confused, and a pair of little fingers keep picking at the chubby hand.
Shen Xueqing saw that the little doll was not on the road, and she was not interested in the objects on the bed at all, so she hurriedly glanced at the two elderly mothers.
The two mothers glanced at each other, picked up the objects of the happy bed, and swayed back and forth to attract the little doll's attention.
The little doll's ignorant eyes flickered, and she slowly moved her fat little hand and grabbed the crystal clear jade bow nearby.
The two mothers were full of joy, and one shouted: "The little boy is so ambitious, he grabbed the bow and crossbow, this is to go to the battlefield to make war achievements!" The other said with a smile on his face: "Grandma, wait back, and when the little boy grows up, he will be crowned a marquis."
, earn your grandmother's life! ”
Shen Xueqing was so perceptive, she followed a few words of good luck, and hurriedly sent Fu Hui to give a reward and led the two mothers out.
At this time, Fleur accepted the objects on the wedding bed, and several girls also withdrew the wedding bed. Shen Xueqing sat down on the Luohan bed again, Mrs. Zhou sat side by side, Mrs. Wu and Chen led Chen Yun and others to sit in the east, and Wei Siluo, Jiang Suxin and other female guests sat in the west.
One or twenty people chatted freely, and Mrs. Wu rarely heard news from Zhu Tingyu, so she asked curiously: "I haven't seen our uncle for a long time!" ”
Shen Xueqing said with a smile: "The master just moved the general judgment, and the day before yesterday he took the prime minister to take office, and he didn't even have time to rush home for today's full moon banquet!" ”
When Mrs. Zhou heard that her uncle was not at home, she couldn't help but sigh again.
At this time, the soft curtain at the door moved, and a beautiful young woman walked in in a hurry. Everyone was curious and probed.
Chen Yun looked over and saw that this person was not someone else, it was Jin Xiuyu, who had been a bridesmaid on the day Shen Xueqing got married.
Jin Xiuyu walked in front of the people, said hello to Shen Xueqing on the one hand, and inserted Tao Wenyu and the others with red eyes.
Wei Siluo, Jiang Suxin, and Tao Wenyu have always been good friends with her, but when they saw her red-eyed, they seemed to have infinite pain hidden in their hearts, and they asked her one after another.
Jin Xiuyu gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.
When Shen Xueqing saw her like this, she knew that there must be a reason, so she couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou has experienced a lot, and shook her head at her again and again, signaling her not to meddle in her affairs, but unfortunately Shen Xueqing was not taught, and openly asked Jin Xiuyu: "Sister Jin, what's wrong?" ”
Jin Xiuyu listened to her inquiry, cried before speaking, and said: "Sister, I am really desperate, these days, I have been looking for people to plead and find a way, but there is money to make ghosts grind, and it is difficult to move an inch without money, I ask people everywhere, but I hit a wall everywhere, it is really ......"
"What the hell is going on?" Shen Xueqing asked eagerly.
Jin Xiuyu choked up.
Jiang Suxin saw that she couldn't stop crying, and didn't say why, she couldn't help but be bored: "You have something to say, don't just know how to cry, you think everyone is a Meng Jiangnu, just cry, the Great Wall will fall!" Let's start at the beginning! ”
Seeing everyone's concern, Jin Xiuyu slowly wiped her tears and told the whole thing as it was.
It turned out that Jin Xiuyu's father-in-law Du Lingjun made a living by pouring antiques, and he usually closed the shop, and he liked to go to the Goolan tile shop to buy wine and get drunk. A few days ago, Du Lingjun went to the old place to have fun again, and unfortunately met a foreign businessman, and the two had a quarrel, which caused a lot of trouble. Du Lingjun was full of wine, and with all his strength, he grabbed the foreign merchants and beat them violently.
Although the foreign merchant does not expose his wealth, no matter how honest he is, he can't stand it, and he has just made a lot of extra money in his hand, he is indignant in his heart, and vows to retaliate, so he pretended to be convinced of Du Lingjun in person, and secretly went to Changzhou Mansion Yin to put an evil fire, and spent a few hundred taels of silver to buy Fu Yin and put Du Lingjun in prison.
Shen Xueqing listened to the details and felt that it was not easy to do.
"I often hear people say, the county of the broken family, the mansion of the ruined family, who is not good for you to offend, how to offend
A relative of the Fu Yin family? Pan Cuilian said beside her.
Jin Xiuyu listened to it and hurriedly said: "That's not necessarily, I asked the people around Fu Yin, and the foreign merchants just made money!" ”
Jiang Suxin said: "He makes money, you can't make money?" ”
"Sister's words are light, where is this money falling from the sky and saying that there is it?" Jin Xiuyu was so anxious that tears fell, "People say that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, but this is the case now, not to mention the five hundred taels, even one hundred taels of silver, I can't take it!" ”
Shen Xueqing became more and more incomprehensible, and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you mean by looking for me?" Is it not that you want to borrow money from me? I've got some here! ”
Jin Xiuyu said: "I don't need my sister Zhou Ji, just ask my sister to write a letter to Zhu Sanye, and ask him to ask Master Zhu to intercede, and this matter will be eyebrow-raising!" ”
When Shen Xueqing heard this, she finally understood her intention.
Tao Wenyu was extremely smart, and said from the side: "Exactly, Master Zhu has been promoted to the general judgment, this general judgment can be higher than the rank of Fu Yin, people say that the official is a big level to crush people, not to mention that our general judgment is several heads higher than Fu Yin, and a sentence can solve people's difficulties!" ”
