"Well, the people in Rong's Mansion said that the day after tomorrow is Mrs. Rong's birthday, let the eldest lady pass by then."

"I see." Lin Mumu thought of what Zhao Chen said to her, she didn't want to know, but felt that Zhao Chen was uneasy and kind.

On Mrs. Rong's birthday, Lin Mumu took a leave from the Women's Medical Department a day in advance, and arrived outside Rong's house early in the morning.

When she arrived at the gate of Rong's Mansion, there were already a lot of carriages parked, all of which were guests who came to celebrate Mrs. Rong's birthday.

When Lin Mumu got out of the car, he saw Rong Shifan and Mrs. Rong standing outside the door to greet guests.

"Uncle, aunt." Lin Mumu stepped forward.

Seeing Lin Mumu coming, Mrs. Rong smiled kindly, stepped forward and took her hand. "Mu Mu is here, you kid hasn't come to the house to see your grandmother for so long, you don't know how much her old man is talking to you, hurry, go first and talk to your grandmother."

Mrs. Rong recruited a maid to lead Lin Mumu.

"Okay."

"Miss, there are so many guests here today." Shuangshuang whispered behind Lin Mumu.

Lin Mumu actually noticed it just now, she saw a lot of familiar faces along the way, and many of the people who came were the wives and ladies of the official eunuch family.

Rong Mansion is the home of merchants, although Rong Shifan Jiangnan Qingcheng Mansion Grain and Rice Division has some real power, but it is only a local sesame petty official, can his face be so big?

Lin Mumu shook her head and couldn't figure it out.

While thinking, she came to the courtyard of Old Madam Rong.

"Miss Biao, the old lady has explained before that if you come, you can go in directly, and you don't need to report it."

"Okay." Lin Mumu walked into the main house and heard a burst of laughter from inside.

"Old lady, Miss Cousin has arrived."

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and they all looked at Lin Mumu.

Old Madam Rong, who was surrounded and sat on the main seat, beckoned to Lin Mumu with a kind face. "Mu Mu is here, hurry, come to my grandmother."

Mrs. Rong wore a dark red cardigan today, with a skirt embroidered with flowers, and a jade-colored forehead pin with a ruby on her head, which made her face ruddy, and her spirit was much better.

Lin Mumu was slightly blessed. "Grandmother." After that, he walked up to Mrs. Rong.

Old Madam Rong smiled and pulled her to sit down beside her.

"Look, the old lady couldn't stop smiling when she saw Mu Mu, it seems that as long as Mu Mu is in our people, don't think like the old lady's eyes." Second Mrs. Rong, who was standing beside Mrs. Rong, covered her lips and quipped, it was originally a joke, but it was not a taste in some people's ears.

"The Lin family's funeral hasn't been long ago, and it's not bad luck to come out to show off the market at this time." Rong Jin, who was occupied, glanced at Lin Mumu and muttered while twisting the handkerchief.

said that she was muttering, but her voice was not small, and almost everyone in the room listened to it.

Second Mrs. Rong hurriedly reached out and pulled her daughter's sleeve and glanced at her. "What nonsense is Jin'er talking about, by the way, didn't you tell me that you prepared a birthday gift for the old lady early, why don't you bring it to the old lady quickly."

Listening to Rong Jin's words, Old Madam Rong's face sank slightly. "What's the matter, my old woman is contaminated with bad luck, you better stay away from the old woman, don't give you bad luck!"

Seeing that Old Madam Rong was annoyed, Second Madam Rong hurriedly pulled Rong Jin to her. "Mu Mu, your cousin doesn't know what nonsense others are saying outside, don't take it to heart, Jin'er, don't you hurry up and accompany your cousin."

Rong Jin didn't move her neck, and Second Mrs. Rong was so anxious that she secretly twisted her.

Rong Jin tightened the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and glared at Lin Mumu. "I'm sorry, I'm talking nonsense." The tone is stiff and unapologetic.

Lin Mumu looked at Old Madam Rong's face and didn't want to worry about her at this time.

"It's just an unintentional sentence, they are all their own sisters, and the second aunt doesn't have to be like this."

Hearing Lin Mumu say this, Old Lady Rong said, "If you don't go to entertain guests, what are you doing with me?" ”

Second Mrs. Rong was afraid that Rong Jin would say something wrong again, so she hurriedly pulled her and smiled: "Yes, yes, let's go." ”

At this time, Rong Qin, who was sitting on the side, also stood up. "Grandmother, Qin'er will also go to the backyard to have a look."

Compared with Rong Jin, Mrs. Rong's eyes looking at Rong Qin were much softer. "Go, you are their eldest sister, you have to set an example."

Rong Qin bowed his head obediently. "Yes."

But after a while, everyone in the house withdrew, and only Lin Mumu and Mrs. Rong were left in the house.

"Jing'er, that child was spoiled by your second aunt, don't take the nonsense she said to heart." Old Madam Rong patted Lin Mumu's hand and said slowly.

"I won't take it to heart."

Old Madam Rong nodded reassuringly when she heard her say that.

"Grandmother, I don't know where my mother is buried now, I want to pay homage to her."

"Back then, we brought your mother's bones back to the old house in Jiangnan and buried them in the ancestral grave of the Rong family. If Lin Mumu is just white, it is no problem when she leaves Western Kyoto, but now that she has an official position, I am afraid it will not be so easy to leave.

"It's not good to take such a long vacation, then I'll go again next year." bar

"Well, go and put incense on your mother."

"Okay."

Old Madam Rong yawned when she said this.

"Hey, it's easy to get tired when I'm older, Mama Huang is going to bring my nourishing tea."

"Yes."

"Grandmother is not feeling well?" Lin Mumu noticed that Mrs. Rong's face was much worse than when she first came in, if it was a vibrant sunset flower when she first came in, then now it is an autumn chrysanthemum that is about to wither.

Old Madam Rong smiled indifferently. "You are still your grandmother is the same girl as you, your grandmother is old, and her body is not as good as day by day, and your grandmother knows that you are busy and does not expect you to come to see your grandmother every day, but when you are free, you come to your grandmother to sit and accompany your grandmother, and your grandmother will be satisfied."

Lin Mumu looked at this kind-faced old man and suddenly choked up a little in her throat, thinking of her grandparents, and she didn't know what happened to them now.

"It's Mu Mu who is not filial, and I will often come to accompany my grandmother when I have time in the future."

"Okay."

While talking, Mama Huang walked in with a porcelain cup.

"Old lady, the nourishing tea is here."

"Well, go and bring some hot snacks to Miss Cousin, and it will be a while before the banquet begins, and I will eat some snacks to cushion my stomach."

Mama Huang smiled when she heard this: "The old lady really hurts Miss Cousin to the bone, before the old slave thought of the snack and it was hot in the small kitchen, and the old slave went to bring it." ”

"Or are you thoughtful." Old Madam Rong opened the porcelain cup and spooned, and blew on it.

A faint medicine box floated out of the porcelain cup, and Lin Mumu sniffed and smelled: "What kind of nourishing tea does my grandmother drink, it smells weird." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Rong smiled and said: "This is the recipe that your aunt asked for from her hometown, I was not in good spirits a while ago, but I was worried about them, and your aunt asked my in-laws to come to this recipe, don't say that after eating a few times, my spirit is really much better." ”

Lin Mumu looked at Old Madam Rong's slightly tired expression and felt a little distressed. "Why didn't my grandmother come to me when she was not feeling well?"

"Whatever you see, it's all the problems of sitting down when you are old and young, and you can't see it well."

At this time, a maid came in with an incense burner, and the incense burner emitted green smoke, and in an instant, a faint bamboo and wood fragrance spread out in the house.

Old Madam Rong continued to drink the Nourishing Divine Tea, which mixed with the smell of incense to form a strange fragrance.

Lin Mumu didn't care at first, but after taking two deep breaths, her spirit was lifted, because her brain, which was still a little chaotic in the morning, instantly became sober.

Looking at Mrs. Rong at this time, she had swept away the fatigue just now, and the whole person looked as energetic as when she first came.

Lin Mumu glanced at the porcelain cup, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Old lady, the guests in the front yard have almost arrived, and the eldest lady asked the slave maid to ask you, is it time for a banquet?" Lin Mumu was about to speak, when the voice of a maid sounded outside the door.

Old Madam Rong wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief. "Now that everyone is almost here, let's prepare for a feast."

"Yes."

Lin Mumu helped Mrs. Rong to stand up. "Grandmother, I smell your nourishing tea so fragrant, I'm tired from working in the women's medical office on weekdays, why don't you give me this recipe, and I'll drink and refresh myself when I go back?"

"Okay, if you want it, I'll have someone write it to you in a while."

"Thank you, grandmother."

Now the weather is not cold, the birthday banquet is divided between men and women, and the women's banquet is set up next to the water pavilion in the backyard.

"The old lady is here."

Today's protagonist is the Rong family, and when she saw Mrs. Rong coming towards her, Lin Mumu consciously let go of the position next to Mrs. Rong and retreated to the side to find a place to sit down.

Who knows, as soon as she sat down, she felt an unkind gaze, and she looked at Meng Nanfei at the next table with hatred in a blink of an eye.

Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows, how could she be everywhere, the matter of the tenth princess before said that there was no "credit" of Meng Nanfei, she didn't believe it, the two had a feud, but the grudge must have accumulated.

Lin Mumu didn't want to ruin Old Madam Rong's birthday banquet for her own reasons, so she withdrew her gaze with just one glance.

At the beginning of the banquet, the maids rushed in with the dishes.

"Miss Cousin, the old lady is suddenly feeling a little unwell, the eldest lady asks Miss Cousin to go over and show the old lady."

Halfway through the banquet, Lin Mumu just dropped her chopsticks when a maid came to her and said.

"What's wrong with the old lady?" Lin Mumu looked in the direction where Mrs. Rong was just now, and sure enough, there was no one there, and she didn't hear any strange movement over there just now.

"The slave doesn't know, Miss Cousin should go with the slave and maid to have a look."

"Okay." It was about Mrs. Rong, and Lin Mumu didn't think much about it and followed the maid.

Lin Mumu didn't know that as soon as she left the table with the maid, Mama Huang on the other side helped Mrs. Rong back to the banquet......
