Chapter 64: Birthday
This is the first time that the medical skills of the palm beads have been affirmed by the Du family.
Because of her action this time, Mrs. Du's body was naturally handed over to Zhangzhu to take care of. In the past few days when the old man was sick, Zhangzhu moved back to Qingyin Pavilion, where he ate and lived, and never left day and night, very dedicated.
Mrs. Du got the careful care of the palm beads and became tougher day by day, but after three or four days, she returned to her usual appearance.
"Zhu'er, I've worked hard for you these past few days."
"Don't dare to call it hard, as long as you are healthy and healthy."
Mrs. Du showed a pleased smile, and when there was no one, she asked Zhangzhu: "Do you have any wishes, quietly tell grandma, and let grandma help you realize it." ”
Zhangzhu shook her head softly, and Mrs. Du said gently: "Good girl, don't worry, I will definitely arrange your future for you." In Mrs. Du's opinion, the girl's greatest wish is to be a good husband. In her opinion, although her granddaughter is an orphan girl, she is talented and good-looking, and she is a very clever and well-behaved person. Such a girl should have been more merciful from God, but Fu Zhangzhu has not received much grace in more than ten years, but has suffered a lot. Now that she is by her side, she will never let Zhangzhu suffer the slightest grievance.
Old Madam Du gently shook the hand that shook the palm beads: "Your body is still a little thin, you should eat more, just be like your eldest sister." ”
The old people like the younger generations who are happy to look at them in vain, and they think that is a blessing. In a blink of an eye, it was the twelfth day, and when I got up early, Xiuluan and Caikite cleaned up and dressed up for the palm beads. Palm beads sat in front of the makeup mirror in a daze, like a puppet being fiddled with.
Because of the birthday, Xiuluan applied a little fat powder to the palm beads and wiped the grease. He even chose a plum blossom-style flower and a palm bead to stick on his forehead. Then he changed into the bright red tuanhua gown and wore a stone blue embroidered skirt.
Bao Yan felt that only a golden hairpin in her hair looked too plain, so she took a big red velvet flower and palm beads from the box and wore it.
After dressing up neatly, Xiuluan couldn't help but praise: "Miss Fu is really good-looking!" ”
Then Bao Yan and Xiuluan helped the palm beads and went to visit the old lady in the Qingyin Pavilion.
Mrs. Yao has already come over, and she is talking to the old lady at this moment. Sister Yunying also arrived a long time ago, but she didn't see Luo and Grandma Meng.
When Zhangzhu entered the door, everyone looked at her.
Yun Lan couldn't help but smile with Yun Ying: "Sister, Sister Fu is so good-looking today." ”
Yun Ying nodded with honor and said, "Yes, it is worthy of the blood of our Du family." ”
Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Du smiled and said, "My niece is more and more like my sister-in-law back then." ”
Mrs. Du nodded, and when the palm beads finished saluting, she beckoned the palm beads to her side, took her hand and said, "This way you will be more talented when you dress up." Your sister-in-law is the best at dressing up, and you can learn from her when you go back. Don't underestimate dressing, there are occasions when you wear the wrong clothes, but it can be fatal. ”
Zhangzhu listened carefully to express her approval, and Mrs. Du looked at Zhangzhu's hands, which were slender, but they were a little thin, their nails were bald, and the nails were naturally pale pink, and they were not painted with bright red Kodan like Yunying.
Mrs. Du shook her head and said, "Nails should also be stored, it's not good to be bald like this." ”
Later, Mrs. Du said that she wanted to show palm beads palmistry, but she felt the calluses on her palms, Mrs. Du's eyes sank, and she said unhappily: "The ladies of the good official eunuchs are working hard at home, and their Fu family is really too poor to afford to eat?" I can't even afford to have a maid at home, so I want the ladies to take care of the housework? ”
In the face of Mrs. Du's reprimand, Zhangzhu didn't distinguish half a word for the Fu family, and Bao Yan on the side was surprised when she saw it. In the past, her girls were very protective of her uncle and aunt, but now why don't they defend themselves. Although Mrs. Fu was not very good, she did not let her girl do any heavy work. It can be seen that it really hurt the girl's heart in family affairs, and the later practices are too ruthless, and the girl should have resentment in her heart. Bao Yan actually came back by herself.
For a while, Grandma Meng and Luo arrived one after another, and when Grandma Meng saw the palm beads under the dress, she couldn't help but pull her to praise her. Mrs. Du was happy in her heart, her face was full of smiles, and she said happily: "You can talk with a clever mouth, and you are likable." It's just that your sister Fu is silent, and you can teach her well when you go back. ”
Grandma Meng smiled: "The old lady used to think I was noisy and annoying, why did you say that I was a clever mouth today?" In my opinion, it's good that Sister Fu is so mature and steady, and there is no need to learn that I have a broken mouth like this. ”
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "Okay, you are reasonable, when will the play start?" I'll wait and see. ”
Grandma Meng hurriedly bent down and saluted, "Everything is ready, just wait for the old lady to appear." ”
Mrs. Du was in a good mood today, she got up slowly, and she was about to help the old lady when her palm beads were closest, but Mrs. Du said, "Let them come, you will be happy for a day today." ”
Here, Yun Ying and Yun Lan sisters hugged each other, talked and laughed with the palm beads and walked towards the garden.
Mrs. Du likes to watch plays, so a stage was also built in the garden of the Du family, which was located on the flying floor of Yuhua Building.
There were already maids and servants here who had already cleaned up, one for each person, and there were cups, plates and dishes on the tables in front of them. The fruit saucer is a famous north-south confectionery. The position of the palm bead was next to Mrs. Du, and she did not dare to sit down until the elders had taken their seats.
As soon as I sat down, there was a play book and asked the old lady to order the play, and Mrs. Du smiled and gave the book to the palm beads and asked her to order it first.
The palm beads will also ponder the thoughts of the old man, so he picked a lively and festive point, and then gave it to the old lady.
When the gong sounded and the play started, everyone stretched their necks to look at the stage.
It's all very familiar dramas, Mrs. Yao felt a little bored after watching it for a while, she was in a little better health today, so she accompanied the old lady to talk.
"Old lady, my brother said that he would bring his nephew and niece to greet you. Tomorrow should be coming. ”
When the old lady heard this, she was a little puzzled: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" ”
Mrs. Yao said with a smile: "I only received the news yesterday. ”
The old lady likes to be lively, coupled with her love for her eldest daughter-in-law, I heard that the eldest daughter-in-law's mother's family is not welcome.
"Okay, let's stay with them for a few more days, I'll talk to Brother Xu's daughter-in-law, and let her pack up a few rooms and prepare."
When Mrs. Yao heard this, she hurriedly said: "Why bother so much, there are not many people in their group, it is better to let them stay in the Immortal Pavilion." Anyway, I have a lot of empty houses. ”
When the old lady heard this, she gave up.
