Chapter 499: Shang Dongliang's Birthday Banquet

The ladies of Beijing also entered the academy one after another to study. There are several types of people who can give lectures at this girls' academy, one is those who have professional talents. For example, Wu Qiongying, who specializes in tailoring, and the old grandmother invited from the palace, specifically to talk about how to be a housewife.

And these ladies still like to listen to Shang Ruonan's lectures, Shang Ruonan's lectures are different, the first class talked about the family rules of the merchants, which directly scared these noble girls, can there be such family rules?

But no matter what, the eldest sister of the merchant married, not only married, but also married a good family, Chengdehou and his wife have been in the border city for several years, but the news came back that these two people are very affectionate. Last time, the old marquis of the Kouhou Mansion was seriously ill and thought he would die, so they hurried back.

They didn't just come back, they came back with one big and one small.

Tan is holding the eldest child, who is two years old, a boy, who looks like a tiger and is very cute.

The second child is still in his arms, he is only three months old, and he is also a boy, but the eldest is called Kou Jinglin, and the second is called Shang Jingchu. It's all according to the rules of the business!

"Doesn't it mean that this Chengdehou is shouldering three families, shouldn't he have three sons surnamed Kou, and give a few elders to a family?"

"I don't know about this, maybe I'll find a concubine to give birth to when I go back."

"Impossible, the merchant's family rules say that there can be no concubines."

"The merchant's house rules are really strange, look, now because of the fourth girl of the merchant, there are female households."

After confirming that the condition of the old man Kou had improved, Kou Ziyu took his wife, children and Shang Ruonan's sisters, and returned to Baiyuan City together.

Because Baiyuan merchants are going to hold a birthday banquet in two days, this time the birthday star Weng is the pillar of Shang. Half a hundred lives. This is a very important moment for everyone's life.

Between his performance in the past few years, Shang Ruonan still recognized holding a birthday banquet for him. By the way, the eldest sister hasn't been back for a few years, and it's rare to come back this time, and I heard that she has to go to the border city.

The merchant's birthday banquet this time was not simple, and the flowing water banquet was directly placed in Baiyuan City, and the people who came did not accept gifts, and they could eat as much as they wanted. Over the years, Shang Ruonan's reputation in Bai Yuan is extremely high. Alleviate the poor every year, look at the soup kitchen. How could these people not give Shang Ruonan a face?

Therefore, on the day of the birthday of the old man, the merchant was crowded. As soon as he welcomed the elders of the Shang family in and sat down, he heard the porter shouting:

"There's a guest here! The eldest aunt of the Chengde Hou Mansion in the capital, the eldest lady returned home. Birthday gifts. ”

Immediately after that, some subordinates came in, carrying some things and sending them in. Shang Ruonan counted it, and there were twelve lifts.

Shang Ruonan stepped forward and said reproachfully:

"Sister, look at you, are you going to move the Chengde Hou family here?"

Shang Nianlan took a step forward, handed the child she was holding to Shang Ruonan, and then stepped forward to give her father a big salute:

"Daughter Shang Nianlan, congratulations to my father on his 100th birthday! The daughter is not filial, and she will be gone for many years. I just came back today to celebrate my father's birthday. I also ask my father for forgiveness. ”

Where can Shang Dongliang forgive or not, this daughter is originally a married daughter. I can't ask people to come back every year. But when my daughter said this, she was still very heartwarming.

"There's a guest here! The Murong Marquis Mansion in the capital sends a gift list! ”

It was Mrs. Murong Tai who came, and Murong Qing went to a neighboring country again because of the matter. I haven't come back yet. Therefore, it was the mother, Mrs. Murong, who came. Reading the Library

In the past few years, Kou Baoyu has followed Shang Ruonan to do things together, and slowly walked out of the life circle of a homely woman, and also went to the women's college opened by Shang Ruonan to help, she is responsible for the living arrangements of the students of the entire college.

The daily life is busy, but it is much better than the previous days when I only knew how to water flowers and plant grass. At this time, she discovered that Shang Ruonan often said that women should also learn the benefits of doing things. I feel that I have seen more and my mind is clearer.

Therefore, as soon as she arrived at the business, she immediately threw herself into helping to greet the guests, which flattered many guests who knew that she was Mrs. Hou, but they didn't expect this Mrs. Hou to come to greet her.

This time the merchant invited this banquet, not only people from Baiyuan City came, but many families in the capital also sent people.

Shang Ruonan is still the host of this banquet this time, but this time, she is taking her little brother Jixiang to do it together, and teach her little brother some things from time to time.

Shang Jixiang is also well-known in the capital, not only because he has such a few powerful sisters, but because he himself has a good talent.

He was just over five years old when he entered the Ming Academy, and he was not yet six years old. But after only one month of study, he was transferred to the children's class. But I only stayed in the children's class for a month, and I was promoted again.

Although he is only six or seven years old now, his classmates are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they don't dare to underestimate Shang Jixiang!

Uncle Gen on the side came over to remind Shang Ruonan:

"Young master, the time has come."

Shang Ruonan once again took on the heavy responsibility of being the head of the young family, just to take advantage of his father's rights and steadily protect the rights of his younger brothers and sisters.

After Shang Dongliang experienced the He family's incident, he was also dead set on other women, An An Qingqing guarded this family and lived a small life seriously.

However, Mrs. Shang really entered the Buddhist hall and saw that the girls in the family who she didn't like very much had all become useful talents. It really made her a little shameless to face.

Even if it was her son's fiftieth birthday, she locked herself in Hui'an Hall. and told her not to quarrel with her.

Because her age is now regarded as a long-lived person, she is almost seventy years old, she doesn't come out, and no one dares to force her.

Uncle Gen said that the time had come, and Shang Ruonan ordered to go down and invite all the guests to sit down! All of them are chaired.

Of course, this is also divided into internal and hierarchical levels.

People from Beijing naturally arranged to eat in the house. And in the courtyard, it is also divided into whether it is in the courtyard or outside the courtyard. And then there is a distinction between men and women.

Anyway, a banquet was held, and there were still a lot of things inside and out, and Shang Jixiangdu pulled Shang Ruonan's clothes and said:

"Fourth sister, I feel tired of laughing. I won't move my face anymore. ”

Shang Ruonan asked the sixth sister to take the younger brother down to rest for a while.

Mrs. Shang can be described as a big show today, although the birthday star is a pillar of Shang, but everyone comes to congratulate Mrs. Shang for being a goddaughter. Look at the daughters of the merchants, they all want to come and ask for marriage, but it's difficult.

From the third child, the reason is: the second sister is not married yet, and we dare not be offside.

Just made a mistake, many people and few people used their whole body skills in order to get the favor of the merchant girl!
