083 Birthday
Approaching the end of the year, the Wei family had to teach Wang Xuanwei and Lin Yuan to deal with general affairs, and on the other hand, they had to deal with many trivial matters in the house, and they were very busy.
The twentieth day of the lunar month is the sixtieth birthday of Mrs. Wang, so naturally there is a big event, so the Wei family also gave Lin Yu'an and Wang Xuanwei a holiday, and did not detain the two of them to read the account books in the Yanhua Courtyard all day.
Wang Zhongjun knew that Lin Yu'an and Wang Xuanwei would come to Yanhua Courtyard every day, and the youngest daughter Wang Xuanrong would always join in the fun.
I won't go to Yanhua Courtyard for a while, and Lin Yu'an is still a little unaccustomed to it.
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Lin Yu'an had a meal, and he used too many purple potato glutinous rice balls for dinner, and he had some accumulated food, so he wanted to take a walk to Yanhua Courtyard to have a look.
Wei treated her sincerely, Lin Yuan was also willing to get close to her, and every once in a while she made some needlework and sent it over, Wei was also happy, and the two became closer and closer.
The mother-in-law at the door is also familiar with Lin Yu'an, and when she saw Lin Yu'an, she smiled and narrowed her eyes: "The third master just came back, and the two girls are also there!"
Lin Yu'an smiled politely and entered the courtyard.
She lifted the curtain and entered the house with ease, but she didn't see Wang Xuanwei and Wang Xuanrong, and there was not a single mother-in-law in the hall who was waiting.
Lin Yu was surprised in his heart, felt that something was wrong, and was about to withdraw, but he heard Wang Zhongjun's deep and low voice from the inner room: "Mother's birthday, let's send a post over, it's his business to come or not, if we don't even send the post, it will only make people feel that they don't know the etiquette."
Wei hesitated: "But the king of Luochuan has just returned to Beijing, and we are in such a hurry to come to the door, will we feel that the Wang family is attached to the dragon and the phoenix in the eyes of others, and has the heart to form a party?"
Wang Zhongjun shook his head: "Before, the emperor scolded King Luochuan for a trivial matter, and now King Luochuan and the little prince have returned to Beijing together, which is naturally the favor of the saint, and there are eleven princes, so our Wang family will not want to get on King Luochuan's ship, right?"
Wei Shi thought about it for a while, and also felt that it made sense, after all, King Luochuan ranked ninth, and there were the crown prince and the fourth prince in front of him, and the eleventh prince born to the eldest aunt and grandmother was still young, and there was no land given by the king, and there was no competitiveness, as long as he was a pure minister, he didn't deliberately please, and he didn't deliberately alienate himself.
Lin Yu'an was shocked when he heard the conversation between the two. These government affairs are not what she should know, so she hurriedly retreated after thinking about it in her heart.
When she came out, she saw Chaohua carrying a red lacquer tray to the warm pavilion, and she turned her mind and went to the warm pavilion.
Yu was released from the ancestral hall on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, she first went to Chunhua Courtyard to see Wang Xuanrou, and when she saw that Wang Xuanrou was really well, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Lin Yu'an heard a rather interesting thing from the mouth of the gossip expert Hongying.
Unexpectedly, it was Wang Zhongde who personally went to ask his grandmother for mercy and released Yu.
It seems that this matter is definitely not a whim of Wang Zhongde, but it seems that his grandmother did it on purpose.
But after thinking about it, my grandmother had a deep intention in doing this, and I thought that she was waiting for Wang Zhongde to speak in person.
First, it can make Wang Zhongde understand that husband and wife are one, and secondly, let Yu see Wang Zhongde's tolerance towards her, and be able to take care of the relationship between husband and wife, and it is better to be more restrained in the future.
Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Lin Yu secretly admired it with peace of mind.
Xu Wanyin is still in charge of the affairs of the East Cross Courtyard, and seeing that the Yu family is back, she goes to Yiranju more diligently.
Regarding Xu Wanyin's behavior of pretending to be deaf and dumb and holding on to the affairs of the East Cross Courtyard, Yu Shi showed unprecedented calmness, only staying with his daughter every day, or going out to visit relatives and friends, or going to the restaurant frequented by the ladies of the capital to taste the new dishes, or going to the Lanqu Courtyard to listen to the opera troupe singing...... The days should be as pleasant as they are.
Although Wang Zhongde begged for Yu's favor, Yu did not take the initiative to bow his head, and Wang Zhongde could not take the initiative to reconcile, he stayed in Xu Wanyin's courtyard on weekdays, and Yu also turned a blind eye.
Lin Yu'an has been closed for a few days, but with Hongying's clever mouth, Xianyun Pavilion is also well aware of the outside news.
Qiu Nu was busy with Lin Yu'an in the house, the master and servant were in retreat, except for eating, they didn't go out, and the house was quiet, even Hongying didn't know what the two were doing, and it was mysterious.
Soon it was the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the Wang family was neatly cleaned up, and there was a sense of joy in the house, which made people feel that the Wang family seemed to be a beast that had been sleeping for a long time before waking up.
The owners of each courtyard have picked up a new one, and they are dressed up brightly and brightly.
In the Xianyun Pavilion, Qiu Nu Hongying was like two sparrows, chattering around Lin Yu'an, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, this one was holding a bead flower to compare with her, and the other was holding a pink and blue jacket in front of her.
Looking at the excited appearance of the two girls, Lin Yu'an only felt ridiculous, she smiled and asked the two of them not to be busy, and chose a half-arm light purple skirt with branches and flowers, and covered it with the cloak made of snow fox skin sent by Yu Jia.
Hongying is a cheerful girl, looking at Lin Yu'an dressed in makeup, she couldn't close her mouth in surprise: "Oh my God, if the girl was dressed like this in the past, I'm afraid that others will ask when the Wang family will add another girl!"
Qiu Nu couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and whispered: "What nonsense, isn't the girl the cousin of the Wang family?"
Lin Yu'an didn't think so, and didn't take Hongying's words to heart, because she was still in the filial piety period, so she naturally couldn't dress up too ostentatiously on weekdays, but today is her grandmother's 60th birthday.
As for whether it is a sister-in-law, there is no value in discussing this matter.
This dress is not thick or light, it is appropriate.
Perhaps it is a reflection of the sentence that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Mrs. Wang's spirit looks much better today, and she can say three or four complete sentences half-sitting, but the cough still does not improve much.
Because Mrs. Wang was still sick, the people who came to celebrate her birthday came directly to Yiranju, but the banquet was placed in the courtyard next to Yiranju, and it was divided into men's and women's seats with several screens.
In the huge hall, Wei sat in the high hall and talked with the ladies dressed in hairpin ring brocade, and Yan Yan's voice was particularly pleasant.
The congratulatory gifts were placed in the courtyard, and the housekeeper was registering the gift list, and the bare begonia trees in the yard were full of red lanterns, and people couldn't help but rejoice.
As soon as Lin Yu'an walked into the yard, he almost collided with Juan'er, who was running with joy.
"Juan'er, what's going on so urgently?"
Seeing that it was Lin Yu'an, Juan'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and affectionately pulled Lin Yu'an's arm and said, "Cousin, come on, happy event!"
In confusion, Lin Yu'an was pulled into the hall and saluted the ladies, and Wei did not leave her to speak, nodded at her, and smiled gently: "Go to your grandmother's place, she can talk to you!"
Qiu Nu and Hongying, who were following behind Lin Yu'an, carrying a narrow and narrow wooden box, looked at their girl being cut off by Juan'er, and the two of them looked at each other helplessly, both of them couldn't laugh or cry.
There was a low sobbing sound mixed with laughter in the room, and Lin Yu'an couldn't help but pause when he walked to the door, and his heart became uneasy.
But I couldn't help but feel a little lucky in my heart, in case it was really ...... Could it be true?
Mother's face was the warmth of thinking about it day and night, and the softness on the tip of her heart, but when she really appeared in front of her eyes, Lin Yu'an was a little at a loss and couldn't believe it.
In the end, Su's mother wiped the corners of her eyes and waved to Lin Yu'an with joy, and she walked in in a daze.
My mother has lost weight and looks a lot darker.
It's just that those eyes still shine with a strong light, savoring it, as if there is still a little bit of snow as quiet for thousands of years.
Mrs. Wang's voice was choked with a cough, and her mother bowed down to gently pat her grandmother's back to comfort her: "Don't worry, don't worry, my daughter is here."
Lin Yu'an had a sudden feeling at this time, how could she ignore that her mother was also her grandmother's daughter, her mother hurt herself so much, how could her grandmother push her mother into the fire pit with her own hands?
She seemed to see the light refracted in the early morning of Doushu Pavilion again, so clear that it swept away the haze in her heart in an instant.
Suddenly enlightened, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with hindsight, stepped forward quickly, and hugged her mother in front of the bed.
Wang Tingzhen's face froze, she was motionless for a long time, there were two lines of tears on Mrs. Wang's face, Su's mother covered her mouth, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to be stagnant.
It seemed that it had been a long time before Wang Tingzhen came back to her senses, trembling her hands and gently patting Lin Yu'an, who was sobbing in her arms.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes were red, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes to her sideburns, falling on Lin Yu'an's exposed white lotus arms.
Mrs. Wang's rapid cough finally interrupted the sad mood of the mother and daughter.
Huo's mother also walked over with red eyes, and there were two cups of hot tea on the tray in her hand: "Madame, don't cry, don't make the old lady cry again."
The mother and daughter burst into tears and laughed, wiping their tears with embarrassment.
Wang Tingzhen came back quietly, so naturally she couldn't appear in front of everyone.
When it was time to open the banquet, Lin Yu'an reluctantly walked out of Yiranju.
Qiu Nu and Hongying waited at the door of Yiran Ju, and greeted Lin Yu'an when they saw it, Lin Yu'an asked where the birthday gift for the old lady was placed, Qiu Nu Dao had been placed in the courtyard, Lin Yu'an put his mind at ease and went to the courtyard where the banquet was held.
A stage was set up in the courtyard, and the most famous Dexiang class of the Lanqu Courtyard was invited.
The sound of babbling and clanging makes the scene very festive, there is an open red lacquered wooden box under the stage, if the spectators below think it is good, they will let people reward the red envelope, and there is a small guy who will give how much reward silver, and the troupe will sing a thank you when they hear it.
With the small climax of the opera wave after wave, the audience below also applauded or applauded warmly.
Lin Yu'an saw at a glance that Yu was sitting at a table near the stage, next to the Duchess of Rongguo, as well as the slightly chubby Mrs. Zhongyihou, and the concubine of the Duchess of Rongguo.
A table of women gathered together to talk and laugh, very wanton.
At a table not far from each other sat the graceful and luxurious British Duchess, the slender and beautiful Mrs. Yongchangbo, and a few noble ladies who Lin Yu'an didn't know but looked extraordinary.
The three women were in a play, Lin Yu'an looked around without a trace, and then went to Yu's to salute in a regular manner.
