Chapter 971: Dad's face still hurts
King Jian didn't bother his nephew to see the girl, and asked about the birthday of the old lady of the Li family, "Is it in the Guogong Mansion or in Zhuangzi?" ”
After Emperor Jianlong ascended the throne, he named his grandfather as a first-class prince of the country. After the death of Li Guogong, Zuo Xiang inherited the title, but the false title of Guogong did not show his noble status in the court without his position as prime minister, so everyone rarely called Li Xiran as the Duke of Jingguo, and took the official title.
The left minister, who was paying attention to the right minister's house on the side of the road, retracted his gaze and replied, "My mother said that this year is not a full birthday, and she is also used to the cleanliness in the Zhuangzi, so she doesn't plan to go back to the mansion to do a big job, but only invite relatives and friends to have a light meal in the Zhuangzi." If the three adults are free, please come and taste the fresh game. ”
Left Xiang invited, and the three of them agreed.
King Jian asked with a smile again, "The two girls of Qin Anren and the Chen family should be the old lady's guests this year, right?" ”
Mrs. Li favored the Qin family's mother and daughter, and the daughters of the various families in the capital also looked up to Chen Xiaonuan's mother and daughter a few points higher. Because Mrs. Li is Queen Li's mother, the Qin family's mother and daughter are favored by her, which shows that these three people have also fallen into the eyes of the queen.
The saint's love for Chen Xiaocao is known to everyone in the capital, and King Sheng regards Chen Xiaonuan as a treasure in his heart, and now the family has won the favor of the queen again, which is really unique in the world and unique.
Seeing that King Sheng didn't speak, Zuo Xiang smiled and said, "My mother only invited Qin Anren, because the two girls of the Chen family were going back to Chen's Mansion that day, so it was inconvenient to come." ”
Chen Xiaonuan went to Chen's house? It's a lot of fun! King Jian touched his short beard with an interesting expression.
Early in the morning of March 20, the fourth village was very lively.
Xiao Nuan and Xiaocao were going to Chen's Mansion to celebrate their biological father's birthday, and Qin was going to Lijiazhuang to congratulate Mrs. Li on her birthday, and the three of them sat in a row and combed their hair and dressed up. It's also funny, a room full of people giggling, and they don't take going to Chen's Mansion seriously.
Before going out, the "good news" in the palace came: Zheng Meiren of Chonghua Palace was pregnant.
They already knew this, and the news came out a few days late, Xiao Nuan had a feeling of "finally here".
Immediately afterwards, the saint issued another decree and released Zheng Duchu, who had been locked up in Dali Temple for more than half a year!
This, but he thought about it faster than Xiao Nuan, and he had to send someone to inquire about his situation.
Before Xiao Nuan could give her orders, the Queen Mother's decree arrived in the fourth village: Quasi-Xiao Nuan's family will enter the palace tomorrow to ask for peace.
The Qin family was flustered by these three wills, and she asked Xiao Nuan in a low voice, "Today is the birthday of the old lady of the Li family, and no matter how happy the saint is, he should wait until tomorrow to make the decree, right?" ”
Mrs. Li is the mother-in-law of Emperor Jianlong, and on the day of her mother-in-law's big day, Emperor Jianlong issued an edict to spread the word that his concubine was pregnant, isn't this a blockage for his mother-in-law?
Xiao Nuan shook her head, and Mama Li, who chose the bracelet for the Qin family, said with a smile, "Madam, the concubines in the palace are happy, and the queen should be happy." This is good news, and Mrs. Li will also be happy about it. ”
Mama Li said that this is obviously a lie on face, but logically speaking, it should really be like this. The Qin family felt blocked for Old Madam Li, but she now knew what to say and what not to say, "What Mama said is true." ”
"When the county lord enters the palace, the slave wants to enter the palace with you and kowtow to the queen mother." Mama Li asked Xiao Nuan for instructions again.
Mama Li was sent by the Queen Mother to teach her the rules, and when she returned to Beijing, she entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother and deliver the news, Xiao Nuan nodded and responded, "Mama will follow my mother to Lijiazhuang for a banquet later, or be vigilant, if the situation is not right, I will leave and come back as soon as possible." ”
The people who went to Mrs. Li's banquet today were all the nobles of Jingzhong, and in front of these people, the Qin family's six-grade edict was not enough. But Mrs. Li invited her willingly, and the Qin family was not good at going, Xiao Nuan let the two grandmothers go together, and she could feel more at ease.
sent his mother out to Lijiazhuang, and Xiao Nuan and Xiaocao also took a carriage to Chen's house on Dongqiao Street. Rhubarb, who was inconvenient to go out, stayed at home, accompanied by Zhang Bing and Xuan Qi.
Dongqiao Street is an oblique street on the south side of Yuping Street, where the powerful in Beijing gather, and most of the housekeepers, stewards and staff members in the various houses of Yuping Street live. King He arranged a courtyard for Chen Zumo here, and he already looked down on him.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of Chen's mansion, Pi Shi was already waiting with Xiaomian and smiling. Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao came over today, also because the Pi family sent people to urge them three times and invite them four times.
Xiao Nuan and Xiaocao stepped forward to salute Pi's and got up, Pi's stuffed Xiaomian into Xiaocao's hand, and she took Xiaocao's hand and walked in, "Your mother went to Lijiazhuang?" ”
"Yes." Xiaocao answered, looking left and right at the small courtyard, "The county mother hasn't come back yet?"
This dead girl, as soon as she entered the door, she mentioned Chai Yuyuan to block her! Pi Shi snorted coldly and said majestically, "Your county mother was driven back to her parents' house by your father, and she can't come back until she learns the rules." Today is a day of great joy, let's not mention her disappointment, you come in quickly, your father has been looking forward to you coming. ”
Looking forward to them coming? What are you doing?
Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao looked at each other, Xiao Nuan was calmly watching the play, and Xiao Cao was eager to try.
This set of courtyards is not big, but it is enough to live in Chen Zumo's family.
Coming to the backyard through the middle hall, Xiao Nuan still saw a neat courtyard. Chen Zumo stood in front of the door of the main room and looked at the family members who walked in with a smile.
If the Qin clan can also come, it will be complete.
Thinking that after the Qin family came back, Xiao Nuan should also get married, and only Xiaocao and the Qin family were left in the family, and they couldn't make any waves, but they had endless benefits. Thinking of the new atmosphere that would be at home at that time, Chen Zumo, who was dressed in new clothes, had a sincere smile on his face.
"Quick, Xiao Nuan, Xiao Cao, Xiao Mian will pay homage to your father's birthday." Pi Shi looked at Qi Shushu's three granddaughters, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, her son married two daughters-in-law, and she still couldn't hold her grandson.
Speaking of birthday greetings, Xiao Mian bowed to his father according to what his grandmother had taught him these days, but when he saw that the two people on the side only bent their knees, Xiao Mian pouted unhappily and felt that he had been fooled.
Chen Zumo didn't pay attention to it, and said gently, "Get up." ”
After Xiaocao got up, he first praised the clothes on his father's body, "Daddy is wearing this year's eighty-eight two-piece spring shirt from the Feather Clothes Workshop, and Daddy is wearing it so beautifully." ”
Unexpectedly, Xiaocao even knew the price of the clothes on his body, although the price was this, but Chen Zumo only bought it for twenty taels, he also felt that this dress was decent, smiled proudly, and habitually taught in his mouth, "You are still young, you shouldn't care about these mundane things, reading and painting are important." ”
"My daughter has to read, but she also has to learn to do business. After my sister gets married, the family's business will have to be managed by Xiaocao and her mother. Xiaocao said proudly, "Xiaocao is eight years old!" ”
Thinking of the four granges and countless shops that the two of them were holding in their hands, Pi Shi smiled from ear to ear, and Chen Zumo's face became more and more gentle, "Okay, Xiaocao has grown up sensible." ”
Xiao Nuan looked at the smiles on Chen Zumo and Pi's faces, and suddenly understood what the hell they were doing, and couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, this is really a fool's dream, and she can't help it!
Xiaocao looked up at her father, who was dressed in new clothes, and praised her, "Daddy is better looking than Brother Lin Ping, when Daddy was parading the streets, he must have got more flowers, right?" ”
That's natural, as soon as Chen Zumo curled the corners of his mouth, he heard his second daughter who smiled cutely and said again, "Daddy's face still hurts?" ”
Chen Zumo couldn't laugh anymore, and Pi Shi also frowned.
The innocent grass pointed to her little face, "The red marks on Daddy's face are gone, it shouldn't hurt, right?" Grandma, Daddy, Xiaomian, do you want to go to Yongning Street to see the champion? There is a seat in my shop, so I don't have to crowd with people. Today is the last day, and the grass has to go and scatter the tweed. If you don't go, my sister and I will go. ”
