At the beginning of August, the morning is already cool, and the refreshing morning breeze carries the fragrance of the wood, brushing the cheeks like silky feather satin.

Wei Yining was wearing a plain silk dress, and Chunjiao, who was following her, was holding a baggage, which contained the clothes she had made for Mrs. Zhu.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since she entered the Zhiyong Mansion, and although the time is not long, the changes in the mansion have been great.

When the new servant saw that she was much more respectful than before, she stopped and greeted her.

"These newcomers know the rules quite well," Chun Jiao pursed her lips and said quietly: "The eyes of those mothers-in-law and girls before have grown to the top of their heads, and they can't see them when they see them." ”

Wei Yining didn't stop, she didn't care about how others treated her, whether she was respectful or lazy, there was no substantive difference to her.

She didn't mean to be a master in this mansion.

When I got to Mrs. Zhu's side, it happened that the Bao family was also there.

It turned out that the birthday gift sent by Wei Yujue arrived, and Bao personally sent it over to Mrs. Zhu to see.

The most conspicuous is a large screen of 12 mahogany mud gold for Magu's birthday, and there are many specialties from the south.

Wei Yujue's family is in the south, and these things are transported to Beijing on time, and the road expenses alone are not too much.

Wei Yining asked Mrs. Zhu and Bao to be safe, Chunjiao was about to present the clothes, but Wei Yining stopped her with her eyes, and she had to stand aside first.

After seeing the birthday gift sent by Wei Yujue, Bao Shi instructed: "Carry these things down alive, this screen is to be placed on the day of the old lady's birthday, and there is no need to bump it at all." ”

When everyone went down, Mrs. Zhu said to Bao's family: "I was about to tell you that there is no need to make a big deal about my birthday this year, just get together with my family, and no outsiders will be invited." ”

Bao Shi heard this and hurriedly said: "How can this be done, it's like this once a year." Mother, don't worry, I'll do everything! What's more, my sister and brother-in-law and their family have also come back this year, so they should invite more people to have a lively time. ”

Mrs. Zhu waved her hand and said, "This year is different from previous years, and our family doesn't have to make those false things, but I don't want to make trouble." With so many things going on at home, why force a smile? Is it just for the sake of my pleasure that you are not considerate of you? I'm also a mother, and I know how hard it is to lose a child. It hasn't been long since Yiwan went, and the family has been calm for a few days, so everything is simple! ”

Bao Shi listened to Mrs. Zhu's words, couldn't help but shed tears, rubbed it with his sleeve, and still forced a smile on his face: "Thank you mother for your understanding, I can still hold on." Although it is sad, it is still necessary to look forward.

How can we who are juniors be lazy? Although we know that your old man doesn't care about pomp, we always have to do our filial piety.

Besides, you should have a good time and be happy. It's too simple and slow, so that outsiders can laugh at it. ”

Bao's words did not move Mrs. Zhu, and the old lady insisted on saying: "At this time and that time, let's not want those false excitement." On a hot day, it's weird and tiring to socialize.

Ah Luan and they are also back this year, and our family members are together, but they are fragrant and comfortable.

What's more, my birthday is over, and I have to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival next, although it is said to be a family banquet, but I also have to bother Zhang Luo, if it is all done in a big way, it is strange not to exhaust you. ”

The relationship between Bao and Mrs. Zhu is not very close, but there have been a lot of things recently, Mrs. Zhu is a person who has tasted the pain of losing a child, so she can understand Bao's pain better than others, so she is more considerate than before.

Bao Shi was immediately grateful, and tried his best to hold back his tears and said: "Mother's words made my daughter-in-law embarrassed, I should have been filial to your old man, but I want you to come over and comfort me." I'll go back and talk to my lord and ask him to come up with an idea. ”

The two of them chatted a few more words, and Bao got up and said goodbye because he still had a lot of housework to deal with.

Mrs. Zhu then spoke to Wei Yining: "Five girls, I guess you are here for a birthday gift, right?" Bring it to me and show it. ”

Wei Yining said with a smile: "Old lady, don't blame me for being clumsy, for the sake of my intentions, let's try to see if it's suitable." ”

Saying that, she asked Chunjiao to open the baggage, which contained a set of clothes she made for Mrs. Zhu, a forehead wipe, a pair of brocade socks, and a pair of satin shoes.

"What do I have to do with your work," Mrs. Zhu glanced at her, seven points of love and three points of blame: "Why are you so humble." I also told Ruyi yesterday that my shroud should also be handed over to you to make, and when I return to the West one day, I will wear the clothes you made for me. You'll have to hurry up, or you won't be able to do it for me until you're out of the cabinet. ”

"Grandmother, you will live a hundred years old," Wei Yining listened to Mrs. Zhu's words, and was inexplicably sentimental: "When I make my grandmother, I will make you birthday clothes every year." ”

She has no relatives anymore, and only Mrs. Zhu treats her sincerely here.

"Silly girl, then I won't be an old goblin." Mrs. Zhu tried on the clothes Wei Yining made for her, and teased: "If you really want to live to that age, it is better to die and worry, and watch your children walk in front of you, it is better to go to Lord Yama to report as soon as possible." ”

Wei Yining listened to the old lady's sadness, and hurriedly changed the topic quietly: "Auntie, they haven't been back to the capital for a few years?" A few days ago, I heard in a trance that the prince was going to enter Beijing at the end of the year? ”

"I want to enter Beijing," Mrs. Zhu said, "This year, Concubine Qiao in the palace will celebrate her 60th birthday, so they will naturally come to pay their respects." ”

Concubine Qiao is the daughter of the Qiao family of Funan Wang and Wei Yujue's aunt.

"So I can see the eldest aunt and them this year," Wei Yining said: "I saw the eldest aunt when I was very young, and I can't remember it now." ”

"Your eldest aunt is the most gentle and kind," said Mrs. Zhu, "and she was only seven or eight years old when I got married, and she was very sensible at that time, and she was very filial to me, and until she got married, she never once made me angry." ”

Wei Yujue is a famous lady, otherwise it would not be possible to be favored by the Qiao family.

"Old lady, this dress made by the fifth girl is really suitable for you," Ruyi praised: "Look at this embroidery work, it is more meticulous than the work of the embroidery workshop in the palace, and she can be driven out in a month." ”

"The five girls did give birth to a pair of skillful hands," Mrs. Zhu looked at the mirror and was very satisfied: "This material is also cut to fit." ”

Wei Yining talked with Mrs. Zhu for a while before coming out, and as soon as she got out of the old lady's yard, she was called by the maid beside Bao's side.

When I went to Bao's side, Wei Yimi and others were there.

"There is nothing else to do when I call you here, it will be the old lady's birthday in a few days, and the old man is not willing to do a big deal this year, but I think that everything must be done with my heart," Bao Shi sat on the top and said: "In previous years, when the old lady was too old, her grandchildren had to fast and go to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings and pick up Buddha beans, and this year is no exception."

Although the old lady does not believe in Buddhism, she would rather believe in this blessing than believe in it. You should fast from today and go to Daxiangguo Temple together the day after tomorrow. ”

Wei Yimi and the others agreed, and went back to bathe and fast.
