184 Eve
August 16, the whole capital knows that August 16 is the big day of the Zhenguo Mansion. Except for the time when Mrs. Tai celebrates her birthday, the town of Guogong Mansion is jubilant on August 16 every year.
But on August 16, the atmosphere of the Zhenguo Mansion was very delicate. Obviously, the lights of the mansion are colorful, but the faces of everyone who come and go are not as simple as in the past - tomorrow, everyone's favorite little county lord will be married!
After dinner, a large family gathered in Rong'an Hall.
"Why don't you speak?! Today is Anning Yining's birthday, what are you doing here?! Mrs. Tai scolded with a smile.
An Ning was also deliberately funny: "Yes! Dad, mother, second uncle, second aunt. Are you sorry for the birthday gift you gave us this year?! No, I can make a fortune every year just by pointing to today and the New Year. ”
Wei Wan couldn't help but sneer when she saw An Ning's greedy appearance for money. In the end, there is only such a girl in the family, and she has been in pain since she was a child: "You, you, this Luo family can make a lot of money, marry back such a rake who can make money." Come on, come on, take a look at this thousand-machine makeup box prepared for you by the second aunt. ”
As he spoke, he took a half-foot-high six-sided enamel makeup box from the maid ring behind him, stepped forward and gently placed it on the kang table between Mrs. Tai and An Ning. The family's eyes were all gone.
I saw Wei Wan say while demonstrating: "Don't look at this makeup box, you can't see anything from the appearance, you see that even if you open it, it is similar to an ordinary makeup box." But you see, the enamel pattern on the six sides of this box has six hubs that can be pressed. After pressing the hubs in different orders, the dark bars will pop up in different positions......"
An Ning looked at this extremely delicate makeup box, and her love was overflowing. The crowd also expressed their amazement.
Mingzhu just looked at it with a smile, something like this combination lock, there are many in Anning's dowry, and he started preparing it many years ago. But most of them are in some extremely inconspicuous places, with large walls, beds, cabinets, and cages...... The small ones have hairpin rings. The location of the hub is generally hidden in the most ordinary place of the pattern. It will never be like this box, where every hub is at the stamens.
However, Wei Wan did put her heart into it, and such a makeup box was also of some special use on the dresser......
"Second aunt, what about mine?! It can't be a makeup box, right?! Yining asked with a smile.
Wei Wan glanced at him and said, "I don't have your share here, go to your second uncle." ”
Yining was stunned, and then remembered that now he is also a family person, and he can't ask for gifts casually like when he didn't have a family. Inexplicably, there is a feeling of getting married before his birthday and suffering a big loss. (Sister Bu often wonders, since when did she never receive the New Year's money again?!) It's so sad...... )
An Ning was in a better mood when he saw his brother dumbfounded, and raised his eyebrows proudly holding his gift.
Yining said angrily: "Cut, wait for today, don't..."
"Bang!" Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back by Wei Ci and choked back.
"Come, Anning, take a look at the birthday gift that Daddy has prepared for you." Wei Ci directly took out a pair of delicate and small sleeve arrows from the brocade box. took An Ning's hand and carefully tied it to her: "Although Gillian has also learned a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu, the girl's strength is weaker." This is a sleeve arrow specially made for you by Master Ouyang for my father early in the morning, and when it comes to the critical moment, you see that you twist this in a circle like this, raise your hand to aim, press this hub, and a small arrow will shoot out.
Each of these arrows was quenched with poison, and the middle one was paralyzed and immediately lost its combat effectiveness. This is the antidote, you don't have to take it with you. Anyway, the person who is hit by the arrow will not die within seven days, and it is easy to be coerced by others with the antidote. You don't need to, but you can get hurt by mistake, and if you don't turn this place around, even if you press this hub inadvertently, the arrow won't shoot. So, when you go out, you still have to bring it with you as much as possible, and it won't affect your movement anyway.
Also, the gold silk soft armor that was given to you before, you should also try to wear it on your body when you go out......"
An Ning watched his father babble carefully, his eyes were red.
The surrounding family members also felt very sad in their hearts, and Wei Ci was really sad.
Even though Wei Ci has always been very doting and gentle to An Ning, his personality dictates that every time he speaks, he is concise and cold.
"Got it, dad is the best!" An Ning hugged his father.
Wei Ci froze suddenly, it was the first time since An Ning and Lu that the father and daughter were so close. If it weren't for the hand stroking his daughter's bun, revealing his innermost emotions, anyone would only see Wei Ci's expressionless face as always.
At this time, Mingzhu walked forward sourly and pulled An Ning to his side: "Look how old you are!" It's like a child! ”
Everyone teased and took out the gifts they had prepared. The atmosphere was extraordinarily happy for a while.
Wei Shu's gift is a pair of fish and water jasper rings, Rong Ning is a small wooden figure carved by himself, and Xie Qingxue is a delicate An Xiang who does not move.
Mrs. Tai was more mysterious, and she gave Jing Jing an arm-long jasper box. I don't know what's inside, so I'll only open it when I'm alone. Everyone smiled and didn't say anything, and there was even ambiguity between their eyebrows, only Rong Ning looked ignorant.
Mrs. Tai knew that everyone had misunderstood, so she was happy to do so without explanation.
"Mother, what about your share?!"
Mingzhu looked at the little white hand that stretched out towards him, and slapped it with a "snap": "Debt collector......
Would you like to give you a slap?! Mother will sleep with you tonight, and I'll give it to you later! ”
Then, everyone talked and laughed for a while, and then dispersed early. I don't know how many things I have to be busy tomorrow. If you don't rest early, you'll be in trouble tomorrow!
And Mingzhu led her daughter to the quiet garden where she lived peacefully.
At this time, the Jingyuan was not quiet at all. The large courtyard has long been filled with one hundred and twenty-eight dowries. Inside and outside, there is no place that is not dressed in red and hung with colors, not to mention that people come and go here, even if no one speaks, the whole yard will naturally be lively.
The powerful Yahuan beside Mingzhu is also here at this time. There is no way, there are so many things to prepare. No one wants a flaw in this wedding, even if everyone is trying to avoid talking about tomorrow's peaceful departure ceremony.
When Mingzhu passed by here, he just looked at it casually, then pulled An Ning and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to a pre-makeup skin care mask now!" ”
