The streamer twisted his fingers, and in a blink of an eye, it was Wei Yining's birthday.

After getting up in the morning and dressing up, Wei Yining still came over to greet Mrs. Zhu first as usual.

The old lady's girl, Chun Tao, raised the orangutan felt curtain while asking Wei Yining to say goodbye, walked over with a smile, saluted Wei Yining, and said: "Today is the fifth girl's birthday, I wish the girl all the best, and the girl will continue forever." ”

The other girls also saluted.

Wei Yining hurriedly thanked and returned the gift.

Ruyi has always been good with her, and specially prepared a pair of embroidered shoes for Wei Yining.

Wei Yining thanked him again and again.

Mrs. Zhu looked at her with a smile on her face, and saw that Wei Yining was obviously dressed up today compared to the past.

Wearing a few pieces of pearl and emerald on his head, the upper body is a short jacket with bean green cloud shoulders, and the lower body is a turmeric cotton silk skirt, which looks luxurious, but elegant.

I know that she is because her parents have not been mourned for a year, so she doesn't wear too bright clothes even if it is her birthday.

Wei Yining combed a high bun that was different from usual today, and the contours of his face became clearer.

Mrs. Zhu looked at her, and somehow she was a little like Wei Aluan when she was young, her love was even stronger, and she stretched out her hand and said, "Good boy, come here, grandmother will give you a little thing to wear and play!" ”

Wei Yining stepped forward with a smile, and Mrs. Zhu pulled her to sit beside her and put something in her hand.

Wei Yining fixed his eyes and saw that it was a pendant of bloodstone, the size of a bird's egg, the bottom of the frozen stone, the blood color was bright red, and there were natural mercury lines on it, outlining the shape of auspicious clouds. The top is chiseled with piercing eyes and tied with multicolored silk.

"This gift is so valuable," Wei Yining only felt a little pressed: "Grandmother loves me too much." ”

Mrs. Zhu grabbed Wei Yining's hand, and the bloodstone fell coldly and slightly hurt her palm.

"This pendant is a dowry I brought from my mother's house, it was originally a couple, your little aunt always loved to be sick when she was young, so I wore one for her. People say that bloodstone wards off evil spirits, and it is the best way to prevent children from being frightened. Now it's a pity that this one is left in the box, I think you are a child who knows how to cherish blessings, so I'll give it to you! ”

Wei Yining got up again and saluted, and thanked the old lady deeply.

Mrs. Zhu sighed and said, "When you were born, you were just in time for our family's fireplace. People say that you are a blessed child, born in the middle of October, and there is a fire in the house, and neither adult nor child is guilty. ”

Wei Yining gently rested his head on the old lady's shoulder, and his heart was mixed.

At that time, no one could have imagined that he would be exiled thousands of miles away at a young age, right?

Mrs. Zhu mentioned the past, and she was inevitably a little sad.

Wei Yining Yu pointed to the newly hung Baibao inlaid large hanging screen on the wall and said, "Grandmother, is this also your dowry?" ”

"This is not," Mrs. Zhu said: "This is the first emperor to give the old man a reward, when the old man was alive, every winter would invite this hanging screen out and hang it on the wall." In winter, there is no scenery to enjoy, and people don't like to go out in cold weather, so you can enjoy the treasure inlay in the house. ”

The so-called treasure inlay is to inlay a lot of rare treasures on the hanging screen, jade carvings, Jun porcelain fragments, all good things can be inlaid on it.

There are hundreds of treasures inlaid in Mrs. Zhu's room, which occupies an entire wall, which is extremely rare.

Wei Yining had also seen Baibao inlays from elsewhere, but none of them were as big as this.

When he came to Bao's side for breakfast, Bao also asked the maid to take a gift to Wei Yining, which was a new set of clothes.

Wei Yining got up and thanked him, and Bao smiled kindly: "Today is your birthday, I heard your eldest sister say that I invited the young ladies of the Wei family and the Yan family to come over and have a good time." In this way, we elders will not be disliked by you. I simply let you go and have a good time, I invited you a small drama troupe, and set up a stage in Mi'er's room, everything today is up to your eldest sister Zhang Luo, I won't get involved. ”

Wei Yimi smiled elegantly: "I'm also catching ducks on the shelves, the first time, there are inconsiderate places, and the fifth sister will be forgiving." ”

After eating, Wei Yimi, Wei Yimi, Wei Yijia, and Wei Yijia also prepared gifts for Wei Yining.

are all one-color needlework, the twin daughters embroidered two handkerchiefs, and Wei Yimi is a sachet.

Wei Yining had seen her embroider before, and the begonias embroidered on the blue bottom of the lake were in full bloom, and the materials were very particular.

Wei Yimi also tied Wei Yining around her waist with her own hands.

It didn't take long for a family member to report that several young ladies from the Yan family and the Wei family had arrived.

Wei Yining and the others hurriedly went out.

Yan Tingzhen rode in a green silk car, and the girl of the Wei family rode in a one-color fragrant concubine-colored felt carriage.

Wei Lanpei walked at the forefront, and Wei Yining greeted him and said, "Why did the eldest sister come in person, it's just my little birthday, so I should stay at home and take care of my mother."

Wei Lanpei said affectionately: "It's okay, your third sister, fourth sister and seventh sister are at home!" They said, "We'll be at the table in a few days, and then we'll be intimate with you." ”

Wei Yining couldn't help but be moved, today she celebrated her birthday, and all the three daughters of the Wei family arrived, obviously out of importance to her.

The group came to Wei Yimi's courtyard hand in hand, where a stage had already been set up and a banquet was set up, and after everyone sat down, they took out the prepared gifts and gave them to Wei Yining.

Informal forms are all affection, and there is no need to elaborate on them one by one.

Yan Tingzhen was next to Wei Yining and praised in a low voice: "Yining, you are so beautiful today." ”

Wei Laner was on the other side of her, and said peacefully: "Yes, Yining is getting better and better." ”

Compared with usual, Wei Yining only dressed up a little, but still did not apply rouge gouache.

Her complexion is already excellent, her cheeks are always pink, and her eyes are bright and radiant as if they have been washed in autumn water.

The hair is like splashing ink, and the lips are like Shi Zhu. Although it is not stunning at first glance, the more you look at it, the more charming and delicate it feels.

"The fifth sister is naturally beautiful, but she stains her original color with fat powder," Wei Yimi said: "She is still young now, if it is a few years later, I am afraid that she will see her whereabouts even more." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Wei Lanqi and Wei Laner glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, why is Wei Yimi so generous today?

Normally she would never say that.

It's just that although the two of them are suspicious, they can't show anything.

The performance has already started on the stage here, and all of them are eight or nine-year-old children, singing, reading, and playing.

Wei Yimi is like a hospitable host, and the dispatch is orderly.

The pair of twin daughters also automatically helped, Wei Yining saw them like this, and was happy to joke with the Wei sisters and Yan Tingzhen.

"Yining, we will be at the table the day after tomorrow," Wei Lanpei said softly, "Please also appreciate everyone's faces." ”

Yan Tingzhen followed and said: "I will be at the table on the 14th, and everyone must be present." ”

The custom of Zhaoyi, in addition to the big business of weddings and funerals, generally has to return to the table for small gatherings, in fact, it is to make it more lively.

The so-called return of the banquet is to go to a certain house to have a banquet and then choose a day to return to the invitation.
