Chapter 281: Birthday Congratulations
Speaking of the embroidered screen that the Duansu County Lord ordered him to embroider a while ago, Sister Chu, who was still full of curiosity, suddenly lost her voice.
However, the Duansu County Lord reacted quickly, raised his hand and grabbed her ear, and lifted it up with a slight effort.
"Where are you going?" Lord Duansu asked with a smile. "Didn't you hear what I asked you?"
"Oops, don't pull it, it hurts." Sister Chu was coldly pinched for a moment, and hurriedly begged for mercy. "It's clear that there are still more than ten days before my grandmother's birthday, and although I have only made a head now, I will definitely be able to embroider it before my grandmother's birthday."
"You child is the most inkblot, if I don't ask you, I'll see what you do to congratulate your grandmother on her birthday." Lord Duansu naturally knew Sister Chu's temperament. "I don't talk about the urgency of the day, can you take this matter to heart?"
"I naturally take such a big event as my grandmother's birthday to heart." Sister Chu hugged Brother Bin'er and smiled obediently at the county lord of Duansu. "Mother, then I'll put Brother Bin'er down first, and then go back to my own room to embroider."
"Well, put it down." Duansu County Lord bowed his head, Sister Chu immediately stuffed Brother Bin'er in her arms into Duansu County Lord's arms, and she hurriedly turned her head and ran away.
As soon as Sister Chu ran away like this, the maids who followed her also hurriedly ran away with her.
The county lord of Duansu hugged Brother Bin and watched Sister Chu flee from the desert for a while, but Brother Bin was reluctant to Sister Chu, Sister Chu had already run away and couldn't see the shadow, and Brother Bin was still shouting at the door of the room.
"Brother Bin'er is obedient, your sister still has her own things to do, so I can't often play with you these days." Speaking of which, since giving birth to Brother Bin'er, the county lord of Duansu has been busy day by day, and the person who Brother Bin'er sees the most every day is Sister Chu except for the nurses and maids who serve him.
Brother Bin didn't seem to understand, but just waited for Lord Duansu to say and nodded.
"Mother still has something to do here, can you let the nurse take you out to play for a while?" The county lord of Duansu has been idle for so many years, and this time he took over the housekeeper's errand from the wife of the prince of Zhenguo, and there are a lot of things to be busy with at hand. In addition, Princess Xian's birthday is also close at hand, and she doesn't know how busy she is during this time.
Brother Bin nodded obediently, and the nurse stepped forward to carry him out.
On the day of Princess Xian's birthday, Lord Duansu deliberately brought Sister Chu and Brother Bin to King Xian's Mansion early.
Today's Princess Xian saw the lord of Duansu and beckoned to her with a smile.
"I'm just waiting for you to come." Princess Xian's life is going smoothly, and today is her birthday, and her complexion is even better. "Sister Chu, Brother Bin, come to your grandmother. Your mother is very busy in charge of the house now, and I haven't seen you in a long time, so come forward and let my grandmother take a good look at you. ”
Sister Chu led Brother Bin to Princess Xian, Sister Chu knelt down to congratulate Princess Xian on her birthday, Brother Bin did the same, and followed Sister Chu to make a big salute.
"Good boy, get up." Waiting for the children to finish the salute, Princess Xian personally got up and helped Sister Chu and Brother Bin and said. "I saw the embroidery screen that Sister Chu embroidered for me, and the embroidery was excellent, and my grandmother liked it very much."
"If my grandmother likes it, it's fine." Sister Chu was praised and smiled a little shyly. "It's not very good, my embroidery is not that good."
"Whoever said it, my grandmother said that it was good, and it was naturally good." Princess Xian happily patted Sister Chu'er's hand and said.
Sister Chu and Brother Bin sat beside Princess Xian on the left and right, and Princess Xian simply moved Brother Bin to her lap and talked to everyone with a smile.
At this time, the ladies who accompanied the hall were all the ladies of the Xian Wang's Mansion, and on such a good day, everyone's faces were full of joy, except for the Han family in the third room. Xiao Yunling had trouble with Princess Zhaoyue's Mansion before, although it was concealed, Xiao Yunling was also quickly selected by a solid Zhuang family and allowed to go out. But now, when he suddenly saw the Duansu County Lord, the Han family was still a little uncomfortable.
Everyone surrounded Princess Xian and laughed, but after a while, a maid hurriedly ran in from outside, saying that Princess Zhaoyue had arrived at Princess Xian's mansion, and that she had come to pay tribute to Princess Xian.
When Princess Xian heard the news, she immediately got up and took the ladies of the family to the outside of the hall to greet her.
After a while, Xiao Xuan and Brother Min came over.
Brother Min was held in the arms of the nurse, and suddenly saw so many colorful women standing in front of the hall, and Brother Min, who was still a little sleepy because he got up early in the morning, suddenly became energetic.
"Sister-in-law!" Sister Chu, who was standing beside Princess Xian and supporting her, shouted loudly.
Xiao Xuan nodded at Sister Chu with a smile.
Everyone surrounded Xiao Xuan and Brother Min into the hall, and after Xiao Xuan came, he sat on the main seat with Princess Xian. All the ladies waited for Xiao Xuan and Princess Xian to sit down before they sat down.
The county lord of Duansu hugged Brother Min and sat down, Brother Min was not afraid of life at all, and it was still a female dependent who came forward to tease her, all of them looked very happy, and everyone was smiling.
Xiao Xuan sat next to Princess Xian, smiling and gossiping with Princess Xian and Princess Xian.
There have been a lot of rumors from the palace about the sudden illness of Emperor Liu's concubine before, and many female relatives of the imperial capital have visited her in the palace, but at the beginning, Emperor Liu's concubine did not see anyone.
Now that Concubine Liu Huang has recovered, Princess Xian naturally asked in passing.
"Although it is a sudden illness, it was indeed terrifying when it first started, but fortunately, the doctors in the Tai Hospital have superb medical skills, and the mother's illness is getting better quickly." Xiao Xuan said with a smile. However, the mother concubine was afraid that the visiting daughter had passed her illness, so she never saw anyone when she was recuperating. Knowing that I was going to come to King Xian's Mansion today to celebrate my birthday, my mother also sent a message from the palace, telling me to thank my grandmother and aunt for her good life. ”
"The imperial concubine is really polite, she is a family, the mother is sick, and our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should visit the palace, where can the princess personally thank her."
The Xianwang Mansion was originally the palace of real power, and the eldest son of the county lord of the Xianwang Mansion married His Majesty's beloved daughter. Today's birthday of Princess Xian, Xiao Xuan came very early in order to congratulate Princess Xian on her birthday, and she also gave Princess Xian's mansion extra face.
Besides, Xiao Xuan's reputation in the clan has always been good, sitting and talking with the ladies and relatives, and he has always had a warm smile on his face.
After Brother Min honestly sat in the arms of the county lord of Duansu for a while, Sister Chu and Brother Bin came over to play with him, Brother Bin was not much older than Brother Min, and the child's hands were not light or heavy, and he didn't know how to make Brother Min uncomfortable when he played, and Brother Min suddenly cried.
"Brother Min, what's wrong?" Seeing Brother Min crying, the lord of Duansu County hurriedly asked Sister Chu, who was standing aside and pulling Brother Bin'er. "Why did you cry all of a sudden?"
Brother Bin was frightened by Brother Min'er's cry, and before the Lord of Duansu could ask him, his mouth began to cry.
"It's all right, Mother." Xiao Xuan hurriedly stepped forward. "Brother Min probably got up early in the morning and slept out."
Xiao Xuan picked up Brother Min who was crying, Xiao Xuan skillfully hugged Brother Min upright, patted his palm gently on his back, and coaxed him softly for a while, and soon Brother Min stopped crying, and his little head was very attached to Xiao Xuan's arms.
"Brother Bin, don't cry." Waiting to coax Brother Min'er, Xiao Xuan gently walked to Brother Bin'er and said. "Sister-in-law also brought you some fun things, Brother Bin and my sister took Brother Min down to play together, okay?"
Brother Bin also stopped crying, a teardrop as big as a bean grain was still hanging on his eyelashes, looking pitiful and cute.
"Sister Chu, take Brother Bin and Brother Min down to play." Lord Duansu also spoke. "You have to take good care of them."
"Mother, don't worry, let Brother Bin'er and Brother Min's nurses also go over to serve together." The green forest who followed Xiao Xuan made a gesture to the nurse, and the nurse immediately stepped forward to pick up Brother Min'er, Xiao Xuan smiled and said to Sister Chu. "Alright, let's take them out."
"Well, I know my sister-in-law." After saying that, Sister Chu took Brother Bin'er and led the way outside, and the nurse who was holding Brother Min hurriedly followed.
"Mother, don't worry, Sister Chu is also a big girl, and she is also very patient and careful when she takes Brother Bin to play on weekdays." Xiao Xuan looked at the Duansu County Lord, who was still a little uneasy, and persuaded her with a smile. "Besides, there are nurses to help."
"yes, Duansu." Princess Xian also echoed at this time. "The princess is right, I see that Sister Chu'er's temperament has changed a lot in the past two years. Especially after being born from Brother Bin, she became an older sister and became more and more like a big girl. ”
"That's because my mother hasn't seen her coquettish with me in the house." Lord Duansu covered his lips and chuckled. "Seeing that she has also reached the age of choosing a son-in-law in the past two years, I don't have to worry about anything else now, I just hope to find her a husband who suits her."
"yes, it's been a pretty fast day. Thinking that Sister Chu and Brother Lan were still small people back then, but now that Brother Lan and the princess have their own children, Sister Chu has reached the age when it is time to ask for someone. Princess Xian asked. Do you like which family doesn't? Or did you inquire about Sister Chu'er's situation? ”
"I haven't looked at any people yet, but there are also a few families who have come to the door to ask about Sister Chu'er's situation, but I am not satisfied with those few families." Now that Duan Chengwen and Duan Shaolan's father and son are having a smooth career, Sister Chu naturally does not worry about getting married, but because of this, the Duansu County Lord is even more cautious in his choice.
