338 Hundred Days Feast
After Ah Zhi saluted in turn, he said softly: "There is someone from the Dingguo Mansion, it is the eldest maid Aunt Lian next to Miss Xu Er - come to invite the girl to Dingguo Gong as a guest." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the invitation card in his hand.
Zhang Meishou subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but when he saw his mother stretching out her hand, he shrank back without a trace.
Hey, she always wants to be in charge......
Song looked at it and nodded.
There was nothing special about this invitation, just a common invitation between the girl's family.
Zhang Meishou suddenly thought of something and thought carefully for a moment.
The Song family had already told Ah Zhi to prepare dresses and jewelry, and instructed Aunt Zhao to prepare the gifts.
Although they were invited, the invitation said that they wanted to stay at Dingguo Mansion for dinner at noon, and the two girls had been coming and going for some time, and it was understandable that the etiquette was all over the week.
Besides, the Song family heard the old lady say last night that a few days ago, the old lady was slightly ill, and the Duchess of Dingguo specially sent someone to greet her and sent a lot of supplements.
The Duchess of Dingguo's move made the old lady a little frightened, but the friendship of the Dingguo Mansion was already beyond words.
It is said that not long after the news of this matter spread, the family was much more lively after Zhang Luan received the praise of the holy decree, and many old sisters of the old lady who had not been in contact for many years came to the door to visit in twos and threes.
The old lady has an unrealistic feeling of "approaching her old age, suddenly turning the tables against the wind".
After listening to the Song family's explanation of the general gift list, Zhang Meishou spoke: "Mother, we may have to prepare another gift." ”
Song looked at his daughter with some puzzlement.
She is already handy at presiding over the housekeeping and admits that there is nothing missing.
But I heard my daughter say: "Counting, according to the third aunt and grandmother of the Xu family, it seems to have been a hundred days." ”
Song was stunned when he heard this.
She also did the math.
"It's really ......" Song looked at the invitation card in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that today's Dingguo Mansion is going to organize a 100-day banquet for this little cousin?" ”
But on this invitation, it was just in the name of Miss Xu Er that Zhen Zhen was invited to come to the door.
"I don't want to make a big deal." Zhang Meishou guessed.
The Song family has also thought of this layer.
Although the Xu family has successfully divorced, the bad public opinion has also fallen to the Ning family, but the Ning family has just had a major incident, and this family affair was originally given by the emperor to marry.
If the Dingguo Mansion is operating on a large scale at this time, it is not in line with the family's thoughtful and cautious style.
But—
Why do you want to ask Vera to go to this kind of thing?
Maybe I don't want to have a big banquet, and I want a few more children to be lively.
The Song family didn't think much about it, and only ordered someone to go to the vicinity of the Dingguo Mansion to inquire about the news.
After a short time, the maid who inquired about the news turned back.
"Outside the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, there are three or five carriages parked in a soft sedan chair, which is not very lively." The maid said, "But the slave maid saw that there were maids entering and leaving the corner gate, and she was busier than before. ”
Song nodded, signaling that he understood.
The maid withdrew.
The Song family summoned Aunt Zhao to come to discuss what kind of gift to prepare.
Regardless of whether it is or not, be prepared.
However, temporary preparation is much more limited.
It was obviously too late to go out and buy it now, so I had to start picking one of the ready-made things.
Old things will not be made, and it is not appropriate to be too light or too valuable.
"Mother, I have thought of something that is suitable." Zhang Meishou said: "When I was at my grandfather's house, my aunt gave me some jewelry, among which there was a red gold Yingluo, which happened to be a ruyi lock. ”
When Song heard this, he asked Ah Li to take a look.
When Ah Li took it to her eyes, she really felt pleasing to the eye.
And the wishful lock is very delicately made, the lock is hollowed out, and it can be opened-
"It's ...... Peace charms? ”
Song took out the peace charm that was folded into a ball from the lock.
Zhang Meishou nodded.
"This peace charm was asked for by my mother in the Qingling Temple that day. It just so happened that my aunt sent this Yingluo in the evening, and when I played with it, I wanted to have a good time, so I stuffed it in. ”
Song Shi stuffed the things back and said with a smile: "That's very suitable, just put it in it and send it together." ”
……
Sure enough, this was the day when the Dingguo Mansion held a 100-day banquet for the cousin.
Although the interior of the house is not very lively, it has a cheerful atmosphere.
As soon as Zhang Meishou saw Xu Wanxi, she dragged her to Xu's courtyard.
Several richly dressed women surrounded Xu and talked and teased the children.
These are obviously close relatives of the Dingguo Mansion.
The Duchess of Dingguo and the Lady of the Prince Wan were also there.
Xu Wanxi took Zhang Meishou to salute everyone.
Several women looked at Zhang Meishou without a trace.
The girl is not uncomfortable at all, generous and decent, and there is no fanfare.
Duchess Dingguo nodded secretly.
cough, after all, this little girl saved her Wei Zi's life, even if she looks at this, she has no reason not to like this child.
What's more, she also saved her daughter and granddaughter.
If you do the math, it's three lives.
No, speaking of which, I have to add her old life-
Thinking like this, the Duchess of Dingguo looked at Zhang Meishou's eyes, and they were much softer.
Xu's face was thin, and when he looked at Zhang Meishou, there was a shallow smile in his eyes.
Zhang Meishou stepped forward and saluted Xu with a smile, looked at the child on the side, and praised a few words.
Ah Li stepped forward at the right time to offer a congratulatory gift.
The Xu family was a little surprised.
They did not reveal the news of the 100-day banquet held for the children today.
So it seems...... The Zhang family really has a heart.
I also heard Zhang Meishou say that the golden lock on the Yingluo circle had a peace charm from a famous temple in Suzhou, and Xu couldn't help but like it even more, so he immediately took it out and put it on the child with his own hands.
She is a new mother, but she has been through a lot, and now her biggest wish is to hope that her daughter can grow up safely.
"You girl, you really have a heart." Xu patted Zhang Meishou's hand and ordered the maid to take a box over.
"It's all little stuff...... The first two times I saw you, I couldn't talk to you properly, and when I really talked about it, this greeting was much late. Xu smiled.
The first two times she said to meet, the first time should be at Ning Guifei's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and the second time was at Ning's house, when she gave birth.
Zhang Meishou excused himself, but naturally he didn't push it off.
Seeing her accept it, the Duchess of Dingguo looked extremely happy.
Several women secretly exchanged glances.
How can this girl of the Zhang family be so valued by the Dingguo Mansion?
Today's 100-day banquet with no outsiders, but she was only invited to come, and now she is giving face like this.
Ah Li held the heavy box, and was surprised in her heart - how many things were in it?
This aunt and grandmother of the Xu family are really real.
After the banquet was dispersed, the Duchess of Dingguo and the Xu family left Zhang Meishou alone to speak.
This time, because there were no outsiders, I said what I really wanted to say.
