Chapter 024: The Old Lady's Birthday

On the first day of July, the old lady celebrated her sixtieth birthday. She was originally the daughter of Pingjiang Bo's family, although she was not ranked in the noble capital, but she finally gave birth to a daughter to be Princess Rong, rounding off is the queen of the future, and her son has also achieved the fourth grade official, so the scene is quite lively, and there are many heads and faces among the guests, blocking the alley.

Yongning presented a volume of Magu dedication to longevity, a handle of agarwood carved chrysanthemum pattern Ruyi, Han Jin, Shu Jin, Song Jin ten horses each, a complete set of gold silk longevity pattern head face...... When she heard Yongning say that the painting was painted by a scholar of Wu University in the previous dynasty, she hurriedly called Xianyun, and Feixing's two personal maids each held one end to unfold the painting. Everyone saw that the characters were really lifelike, and the eyebrows were expressive, although it had been more than 100 years, the colors were still colorful and vivid, and it was known how well preserved.

Old Mrs. Feng shook her head again and again, and her eyes could no longer be separated from the painting.

Xiao Ming knew that the old lady liked it very much in her heart, so she hurriedly said: "Wu University is a former pilgrimage saint, but unfortunately the works are scarce, I am afraid that there are not a few pieces in the palace, Sister Ning can find treasures for the old lady, or the painting of Magu to offer her birthday, the meaning is excellent, and her filial piety can be glimpsed." ”

Yongning said with a smile: "My granddaughter specially asked Shanbaozhai in Hangzhou to pay attention to it earlier, and she searched the north and south to get this one. ”

"Good, good! You've got a heart. "Old Mrs. Feng got a treasure, and her face was full of wrinkles and smiling.

However, Jiang Wan'er on the side was the opposite of the old lady, her face was black as if she could squeeze out the ink. Yongning swept her gaze like an arrow, and returned a smile with a generous face. Jiang Wan'er was so angry that she turned her face away from looking at her, and only said aloud: "This painting of Scholar Wu is priceless, and it all depends on fate." There are a lot of fakes circulating on the market, Sister Ning can be careful, don't use fish eyes to mix pearls to fool the old lady. ”

Yongning saw that the old lady's smile was slightly retracted, and said unhurriedly: "Sister Wan is too worried, this painting has been personally inspected by the courtiers of Shanbao Zhai, otherwise my sister would not dare to dedicate it to the old lady like this." ”

Jiang Wan'er pursed her lips and said no more.

In the front yard of Feng's house, the voices of people were boiling, and a group of men and women used curtains to block away, and the maids and servants welcomed guests, served tea, and recorded their names...... It's orderly, and you don't panic when you see the big guys.

Yongning had to sigh that there were indeed some means under Xiao Ming's rule, and the people under the rule of Xiao Ming were very well trained.

Besides, her uncle, Feng Zhengyue, was smiling and ushering in. He is obese, has been up and down in the business sea for all these years, not only accumulated wealth, but also raised a heavy beer belly, white face and beard, just like the God of Wealth in a New Year's painting, festive is festive, but greasy.

Sanbo Feng Zhenglian is much thinner, he seems to be shy by nature, he doesn't like to do much work on the scene, and he just stands quietly in the corner alone. Feng Zhenglian was born as a second-class jinshi, and he has been compiling the history of the former dynasty in the Hanlin Academy all these years

The Feng family and others had been waiting at the Yimen for a long time, and finally someone at the door reported: "Princess Rong has arrived, and His Royal Highness King Rong has arrived." ”

I saw a beautiful woman wearing a double phoenix bead bun, with a golden phoenix hairpin, wearing a red colorful grosgrain silk python shirt, wearing a gold pendant collar and jade forbidden step, calling people to come around with a paragraph, next to a beautiful young man with red lips and white teeth, a golden crown and brocade robe, full of luxury, and he saw that he was the prince of Rongwang.

"Mother, get up." When the princess saw the old mother kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward to help. The old lady didn't follow, she had to kowtow to the two.

Yongning took a closer look at the princess, and it was really as Xiao Ming said, and she was a little similar to her between her eyebrows and eyes.

When the princess saw a few faces in the crowd, she knew that it was someone from the second room, and asked with a smile. The three sisters each saluted again and gave their names and surnames. Seeing that they were generous and generous, and Yongning, who was the leader, was quite similar to herself, the princess couldn't help but like it, and pulled Zhu Changwen and said, "These are your cousins who have never met." ”

Although she said this, Yongning couldn't call him cousin along the way, so she could only call him "Your Highness" in a regular manner.

Feng Yongjia saw that Zhu Changwen was young and handsome in the crowd, with a noble status, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looking at him as if he was nothing, and his face couldn't help but flush with red clouds.

A group of people hugged the princess and the prince into the large scroll shed erected by Wanshouxuan.

Knowing that the princess loves to listen to operas, today the house specially invited a large class from Chunshu Hutong. The maid presented the play list, and the princess ordered "The Pipa Story", "The Golden Lock" and so on.

said that it was watching a play, and most of the time the princess was chatting with a few female relatives around her.

Yongning's seat was not close to the princess, and when he saw that the conversation was hot, he only cared about eating melon seeds and eating fruits. Unexpectedly, the princess suddenly turned her head, saw her niece with a naΓ―ve face, and asked with a smile: "How old is Sister Ning this year?" ”

Yongning didn't expect that he would be named, so he hurriedly dusted off the melon seed shell on the side of his mouth, "Back to the princess, the people's daughter is fourteen years old." ”

"It's still young." The princess sighed with emotion, "The second brother has been doing well recently, and his health is still healthy?" ”

"Thanks to my mother, my father is in good health, and he can eat and sleep."

After hearing this, the surrounding circle of people laughed. The princess also covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but after laughing, she was a little melancholy: "My second brother and I haven't seen each other for ten years, and he was the best for me when I was a child, and I don't know if we will be separated from each other." ”

The ladies didn't dare to laugh all of a sudden, and they all looked like they were relatives.

The old lady played a round and said, "Niangniang is too worried, blood is thicker than water." ”

The princess finally seemed to be better, and told Yongning earnestly: "You are the eldest daughter of the second brother, you should take responsibility, you need to take good care of your father, and the sisters should be harmonious, don't have a disagreement......

Yongning hurriedly said yes.

The princess smiled with satisfaction, saw the melon seed shells on the table in front of her, and instructed the maid to serve her another full plate.

Yongning snorted embarrassedly, and suddenly heard a chuckle, and turned his head to see that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of the World. His peach blossom eyes were almost too narrow to see, but when he met Shang Yongning's gaze, he quickly cleared his throat and pretended to look calmly at the stage in front of him.

*

The stage babbled and continued to sing, Yongning listened to the old monk chanting, and after eating and drinking, he actually fell asleep on the back of the chair in a daze, but fortunately, Yun Toad quickly woke her up on the side.

She rubbed her eyes and escaped through the urine to breathe.

At this time, Yongning was not the only one who slipped out.

Zhu Changwen stayed in the big scroll shed for a long time, and he also felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and he was afraid that going to a crowded place would make everyone uncomfortable, so he took the little eunuch to find a secluded place. Feng Mansion is planted everywhere in the four seasons of flowers, can be seen eight Changchun scenery, he was counting the mandarin ducks floating in the pool, suddenly heard a burst of singing.

The little eunuch also whispered: "Your Highness, someone is singing. ”

Anyway, being idle is idle, Zhu Changwen raised his eyebrows: "Go over and take a look." ”

The two approached, and Fang heard the man singing:

"It's not love the dust, it seems to be mistaken by the front edge. Flowers fall and bloom from time to time, always thanks to the monarch of the East. If you go, you must go, and you must live how you live! If the head is full of mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave returns. ”

It turned out that Feng Yongjia, who had always been proud of his singing voice, finally found out Zhu Changwen's whereabouts, and deliberately waited here to sing, hoping that he could find him when he heard it. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally there was footsteps behind her, and she turned around shyly, and it was indeed her dream lover.

"Your Highness!" Feng Yongjia said a perfect blessing.

Zhu Changwen commented lightly: "Sing well." ”

She couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, her peach cheeks flushed, but she heard Zhu Changwen say again: "But today is my grandmother's birthday, and you are singing such a bleak and sad song here, I'm afraid it's not good?" ”

Feng Yongjia's small face was instantly covered with frost.

"Besides, you are a woman from a good family, how can you sing such things from the hook column."

"Your Royal Highness......" Feng Yongjia felt like he had been slapped alive by Zhu Changwen, embarrassed and aggrieved, and the tip of his nose was also very sour, "I don't have ......"

Zhu Changwen didn't want to listen to her explanation, so he turned around and left. The little eunuch snorted coldly at her, leaving her alone to cry in place.
