Chapter 761: One Birthday
The first emperor died and went west, less than a year later, and the red and white ceremonies in the homes of the civil and military officials in the capital were not carried out in a big way. Ah Yuan Aman's first birthday banquet only invited relatives to the door, and only set up ten tables of banquets.
Cheng Wang, as the maternal grandfather of Aman Yuan, is a distinguished guest today.
Cheng Fang and Zhao led their sons and daughters-in-law to come.
Cheng Fang smiled and patted Cheng Wang's shoulder: "We two brothers haven't seen each other for more than ten years." I heard that you have returned to Beijing, and I went back to my house last night to have a few drinks with you and say goodbye. It's good for you, you came directly to Hefu. ”
Cheng Wang smiled: "I haven't seen my daughter for many years, and as soon as I stepped into the capital, I came involuntarily." When I saw Jinrong, I was reluctant to leave, so I simply stayed. ”
Cheng Fang also joked, but didn't take it to heart, and quickly opened the topic: "How long have you been off?" ”
Cheng Wang replied with a smile: "Half a year." ”
"Once you come and go, you have to spend most of your time on the road." Cheng Fang said in a low voice: "The matter of getting married should not be delayed. The date has been set, and your sister-in-law will take care of all the trivial matters, and you will wait to marry your wife. ”
Cheng Wang was moved and grateful: "Thank you big brother and sister-in-law." ”
Cheng Fang said with a smile: "My own brother, what are you doing when you say such things as seeing outsiders." You are willing to remarry, and I am so happy that I haven't slept well for several nights. ”
Cheng Wang's old face was slightly red when he was teased.
Cheng Jinghong and Cheng Jing'an brothers laughed together.
Seeing the stitches, Zhao took the opportunity to babble a few words about his eldest son: "Your second uncle is married." Look at the Cheng family, now you are the only one left who is still single. ”
Cheng Jinghong silently turned his head to the side.
Zhao sighed in his heart, it was inconvenient to say more in the He family, and he quickly stopped.
He Qi whispered in Cheng Jinrong's ear and laughed: "How do you feel about so many people coming to your mother's house?" ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled leisurely: "I feel that my waist is very straight." If you dare to bully me, my father, my uncle and two cousins can't spare you. ”
The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.
The relatives came to the door one by one, and soon, people also came to the palace.
Empress Dowager Pei sent the palace maids around her, and Emperor Xuanping sent Gonggong Ding to come, each with a generous reward.
Cheng Jinrong accepted the reward with a smile.
Cheng Wang has long known that his daughter is valued by the Queen Mother. However, seeing such a scene for the first time, I was happy and a little surprised.
After the people in the palace left, Cheng Wang walked to Cheng Jinrong's side and laughed in a low voice: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor are really kind to your husband and wife. Aman's first birthday banquet also has a generous reward. ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled in his mouth, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
The secret of Empress Dowager Pei's life experience can only be a secret forever. Cheng Wang must not be allowed to know.
……
Today's arrivals are Princess Kangning and the concubine Zhu Qijue.
Princess Kangning gave birth to a daughter more than two months ago, whose name is Sister Qiao'er. Zhu Qixuan and Zhou each gave birth to a son. Princess Kangning was a little lost at first, but after seeing her husband holding her daughter happily, that little bit of loss disappeared.
Princess Kangning muttered a few times to the horse in private: "You and Commander He are cousins, and Ah Yuan and Amandu are white and pleasing. It's better for our two families to get married in the future. The two brothers Aman chose one of them to be our son-in-law. ”
Zhu Qijue smiled: "The child is so young, it's too early to think about this. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, back then, my father also wanted Qixuan to marry his cousin and have a kiss. It's a pity that my cousin has always treated Qixuan as his own sister, and he has never had a relationship between men and women. Later, my cousin met the person he liked, and he and Cheng Jinrong fell in love and became husband and wife. Fortunately, I didn't make a family decision before, otherwise, what should Qi Xuan do? ”
"Therefore, the matter of getting married depends on fate and the hearts of the children. When the children have grown up, it is not too late to talk about family affairs. ”
Princess Corning was quickly persuaded to stop chattering about marriage. However, when I saw the white and handsome Ayuan Aman brothers, I always had a little more love and closeness. Picked up one, kissed it twice, hugged the other, and pinched the chubby little face.
Soon, Jiang Yao and Pei Xiu also came, and they also brought their daughter Xiaomiao with them.
Xiao Miao was born very delicately, with a pair of dark and bright eyes, wearing a delicate pink dress, and her short hair was tied into two small tuggs. was held in the arms of his mother, and his smile was obedient and cute.
When Cheng Jinrong saw it, he couldn't help but smile and praise: "Xiao Miao is really well-behaved and likable." ”
Before Pei Xiu had time to be proud, she heard Cheng Jinrong say again: "It seems that he is more like his father." ”
Pei Xiu: "......"
Pei Xiu was angry and glared at Cheng Jinrong: "You just can't see me happy, right?" My daughter, what's not like me anymore? ”
The more Pei Xiu was angry, the more Cheng Jinrong loved to provoke her, and said with a casual smile: "You should be glad that Xiao Miao is like a father." It wouldn't be good if it was like you. ”
Pei Xiu continued to glare at Cheng Jinrong.
At this moment, I heard Xiao Miao crying quietly.
Pei Xiu was startled and hurriedly looked down. I saw that the two brothers of Ah Yuan and Aman were holding one of Xiao Miao's small hands, probably because their strength was a little too strong, and Xiao Miao's hand was hurt.
On Xiao Miao's white and tender little hands, there were two shallow red marks.
Pei Xiu was the most protective of the short, and immediately stiffened his face: "You guys let go quickly." ”
Then, he glanced at Cheng Jinrong very dissatisfied: "I think Ah Yuan Aman is also more like his own father, and he loves to bully his sister when he has great strength." ”
Cheng Jinrong: "......"
Get! If your son is in trouble, don't even think about straightening your waist as a mother.
Cheng Jinrong had to apologize on behalf of his sons, and asked the nurses to take this pair of naughty bags away.
Pei Xiu was relieved at this time, and coaxed in a low voice for a while, Xiao Miao was not yet a year old, much easier to coax than her mother, and turned into laughter in less than a moment.
After a while, Ye Lingyun and Zhou's husband and wife also came together.
Zhou gave birth to a son three months ago, and his figure has recovered to be slim, and his complexion is quite ruddy. It can be seen that life in the husband's house is quite comfortable.
Everyone saw each other, and it was quite lively.
The only regret is the absence of Zheng Qinghuai and Zhu Qixuan.
The Marquis of Jinning and the Hou of Zhen Yuanhou have been locked up in the prison and have not seen the light of day. The Divine Guard Army and the Imperial Forest Army and the Horse Army have changed their commanders, and the power of the Zheng family and the Wei family in the army has also been reduced a lot.
Zheng Qinghuai, the son of the Marquis of Jinning, was also implicated, and the errand of the imperial guard was taken away and he was placed under house arrest. I haven't been out of the house for more than half a year.
Not only him, but the direct children of the Zheng family and the Wei family were all taken away from the errand and placed under house arrest. The children of the side line are not much better, the demotion of the degraded, the demotion of the reform.
The palace has undergone a round of purge, and the army has also been carefully sorted out. The gentle and honest Emperor Xuanping was not soft on this matter.
