Mrs. Zhu's 80th birthday was not very grand, but it was very lively.

Although it had been said in advance that no foreign guests would be accepted, many relatives and friends still sent birthday gifts, and the queen also gave gifts from the palace.

Only the Zhu family, the Shao family, and the Wei family were left to eat birthday banquets and watch plays, but these three families were all big families, and even the masters and servants added up to dozens, almost hundreds.

Mrs. Zhu was very emotional and said, "I really didn't expect that I could wait until today, and it can be regarded as a blessing." Now that the children and grandchildren are full, the juniors are all fighting again, and I really want to thank the emperor for his grace. Don't be inhibited, just like you're in your own home. Don't think I'm old and dizzy, if there is something you like to eat at the table, you should bring some when you go home, and there are a lot of them. ”

"This is all the blessing of the old lady, and we will follow it." Huang raised his glass and smiled: "If you can eat it, you can take it, it's really cost-effective." ”

Everyone also laughed and wished Mrs. Zhu a long life.

Wei Yining and Duanmin County Lord Wei Lanpei and others sat at the same table, and they were of the same age and familiar with each other, so they were particularly affectionate.

They are all married, although they have different temperaments and temperaments, but they are very happy marriages, husband and wife get along, and they are both beloved women.

"Yining, you eat more, look at your skinny!" The county lord of Duanmin sandwiched a bad quail for Wei Yining: "Eat an extra bowl of rice for each meal, and you can't guarantee ten catties of meat for three months." ”

She is now three months pregnant, and her reaction is much lighter, and she can eat it.

Wei Aluan is the best mother-in-law, Shao Nan is considerate, and changes her ways every day to satisfy her appetite.

Therefore, today's Duanmin County Lord is already round and jade, much plumper than when he first got married.

"Second sister-in-law, don't eat wine lees," Yan Tingzhen reminded her in a whisper beside her: "I'm afraid it's not good for the fetus." ”

"Okay, I'll bear with it." Lord Duanmin put back the bad quail that had been clamped: "But when I am done, none of you are allowed to stop me." ”

"Yining, let's all go to your mansion another day." Wei Lanqi smiled: "Now that the weather is cold, I want to eat your roasted mutton." ”

"I'm hungry when you say that." Wei Lanpei covered his mouth and smiled: "Yining's barbecued meat is delicious." ”

"Okay, no one is allowed to escape, I will call the kitchen in the house to prepare in advance for a certain day." Wei Yining readily agreed: "We have a secret spice, you will know it when you taste it." ”

She knew that these sisters were afraid that she would be lonely, so they said that they would go to her house to get together.

"Do you have any wine in your house?" Wei Lanmei asked: "Eating barbecue must be accompanied by wine, otherwise it will be a tyrannical thing." ”

She was naturally gluttonous, ate a lot, and gradually gained experience. When it comes to food, she's a connoisseur.

"How can you be without wine?" Wei Yining smiled: "And it's all good wine, my grandfather has no other hobbies, he likes wine the most." We have a large sake cellar in our house, which contains all kinds of old and good wines, and I usually drink some occasionally, but it is not interesting to be alone, and it is still very lively, and it is not easy to get drunk. ”

"The osmanthus cake you sent me that day was very good, and my sister-in-law and sister-in-law both tasted it, and they both said that it was better than what was made in the palace." Yan Tingzhen said: "Where did you invite the cook in your house?" When it's time for our old lady to hold a birthday banquet, can you lend it to us? ”

"This is easy," Wei Yining said, "When you pass one day, I'll ask him to make a few more snacks." ”

"A few days ago, we went to the palace and the queen still talked about you," Duanmin said, "I said I want you to live in the palace for a few days." ”

"How is the queen lately? It's so hard for the harem that she still thinks about me. Wei Yining said.

"It's already pregnant," Wei Lanpei smiled, "It's not as noisy as before." ”

"What do you little sisters say? It's so lively. Shao Ben's wife came over and smiled, "It's your turn to go over and toast the old lady." ”

Everyone got up hurriedly and went to Mrs. Zhu's table in turn to toast.

The birthday banquet didn't stop until the end of the day, Wei Yining sent relatives and friends for Mrs. Tai, and came back to watch the people pack up their things.

Put away the birthday gifts sent by each family properly, and write a list of memos.

Mrs. Zhu was happy today, and she was a little tired, so Wei Yining let her lie on the Luohan couch and massage Mrs. Zhu by herself.

"I've made you spoiled for so many years," Mrs. Zhu closed her eyes and said, "If you usually feel bad on your body, you can press it on me, and I will feel a lot more relaxed when I rub it." Although Ruyi and they also learn from you, the strength of the technique is always a little worse. ”

"Then I'll come over and give you a massage every two days," Wei Yining said, "This is easy." ”

"Forget it, you are also a person who has a family, the mother of a family, how can you run to your mother's house at every turn?" Mrs. Zhu shook her head and said, "I heard that Grandpa is not at home now, but you, the housewife, have to sit down." ”

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and Wei Yining saw that Mrs. Zhu's voice was getting lower and lower, and knew that she was sleepy. The strength in her hand was lightened, and sure enough, after a while, the old lady fell asleep.

Wei Yining stood up and came out and sent it to the door as expected.

"The county lord is also tired today, so why don't you stay." Ruyi said.

"No, I made an appointment with Sister Lampey and them to get together the day after tomorrow, and we have to prepare tomorrow." Wei Yining said: "You serve the old lady, you don't have to send me." ”

After Wei Yining went back, he also rested for a while. At dinner, I asked Chunjiao to tell the comprador in the kitchen that tomorrow I would prepare something for the guests the day after tomorrow.

The next day, Wei Lanpei and others came to visit, and the house suddenly became lively.

The people had seen it, and they went around the house.

When the weather got hot, he returned to Wei Yining's yard to prepare the barbecue.

Everything was prepared in advance, so he set up a barbecue in the yard and put a charcoal fire, Wei Yining personally started it, and his movements were very skillful.

After a while, the fragrance wafted out of the effort, attracting everyone's index fingers.

The first round of roasted lamb was sprinkled with spices, and everyone tasted it and said it was too delicious, vying to ask for the recipe for the spices.

"This is an exclusive secret recipe that will never be passed on," Wei Yining smiled and refused to say: "I still want to pass on this craft, and it can be regarded as a craft for my children and grandchildren." ”

She said this because she didn't know the recipe herself.

These spices were still prepared when Zhong Ye was in the mansion, and because he was in a hurry, Wei Yining didn't have time to ask.

Because of this, she couldn't help but think of Zhong Ye, a little gloomy, pretending that a person was like this, and she could contact him in everything.

However, she quickly restrained her emotions and continued to greet her guests warmly.
