Chapter 151: The Noise Before the Banquet
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Ganfu was very lively.
Hundreds of lanterns of different shapes have been added inside and outside the house to replace the cheesy red lanterns, which also has a unique charm.
"Just imagine, when the moon is in the sky, these finely crafted lanterns are lit up in the house, and it is also very emotional." Gan Jilu said as she walked, stopping beside Gan Peilin: "The eldest sister is unique, and the arrangement is so exquisite. The Metropolitan Governor will like it. I can't wait for it to get dark. ”
"The second lady is really good at laughing, it hasn't been long since she got up, and breakfast is useless. I'm looking forward to getting dark so soon. "There is something to say in the brittle core words." I don't know if it's because you're anxious to see the Duke. ”
"Don't joke about that." Gan Jilu looked at the brittle core with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor is your eldest lady's person." Seeing that my sister listened, she should be unhappy. ”
"Didn't my sister go back to Ao Mansion?" Gan Peilin turned his face and asked.
"Sister forgot, my husband transported grain and grass to Xiying. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. Gan Jilu couldn't help but hook her lips: "Naturally, I want to stay in Ganfu to accompany my grandmother for the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"But......" Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you afraid that your husband's family will have opinions?" After all, you are the daughter-in-law of their eldest son, and the future housewife of the Ao family. ”
"Sister, don't worry, I understand the rules." Gan Jilu smiled and said, "I have already asked people to go to the in-laws." The gifts are also exactly the same. My mother taught me these rules when I was younger, and I don't let anyone fault them. ”
In fact, she doesn't need to explain it so well, Gan Peilin also understands.
Jiang Yu gave Ao Yu such an errand to get rid of King Shengqing's puppet. The Ao family naturally had to coax Jiang Yu tightly.
It was Jiang Yu who was invited to the banquet in Ganfu tonight, and of course they would not be in a hurry to let their daughter-in-law go back. Do you meet three loves?
"It's the first time for my eldest sister to run a banquet in the house, but is there anything I need my sister's help with?" Gan asked with a fake face.
"No need." Gan Peilin stared: "It's all in order." ”
"That's good. My sister won't delay my sister. Gan Jilu saluted her and led Wanfeng away.
"Miss, do you think Wanfeng is weird?" Just now Gan Jilu was talking here, but Liulan had been paying attention to Wanfeng. I always felt that the girl looked at her master a little strangely.
"yes, I didn't pay attention." Where can Gan Peilin take care of so much. She also had to go through the house's decorations. Then go and check the dishes prepared for dinner. and fireworks that will soon be brought into the house.
"Maybe the slave is too careful." Liulan didn't say much: "Let's go, Miss, let's go and see how the lanterns in Mingyue Tower are." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin nodded slightly, and several people went to Mingyue Tower together.
At this time, Gan Jilu had already returned to Yonghua Garden. "Mother."
Mo Yanqing saw her come in, and her expression was gentle: "Isn't the mansion very lively today?" ”
"yes." Gan Ji smiled and said: "I heard that most of the governors came to Ganfu to admire the moon." Those in the city who saw the wind and steered the rudder made people send a lot of gifts. The daughter took a look, and there were more than 20 boxes of jade mooncakes in the Treasure Pavilion alone, but fortunately they were not real mooncakes. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat all day long. ”
"Worship high and low, with red and white, the things in this world are just like that." Mo Yanqing took Gan Jilu's hand and said quietly: "Everyone thinks that my mother is poor in donkey skills, so she will become so spicy, so unreasonable, and she will only lose her temper at every turn." But in fact, only by covering up our scheming in this way and making our opponents take it lightly can we have a chance of winning. ”
"That's what Mother said." Gan Jilu nodded: "So right now, everyone in the mansion doesn't think that you are a threat, mother." Even my father's people didn't continue to stay in our Yonghua Garden. Tonight, there's bound to be a good show. ”
Mo Chuxue came in with steaming white fungus soup: "Auntie, Chuxue made your favorite white fungus soup, can you taste it?" ”
"Hmm." Mo Yanqing was a little hungry and nodded: "Bring it over." ”
Just looking at a stain on Mo Chuxue's skirt, she couldn't help but sigh. "These things are done by letting the next person do it. What do you look like when you get dirty yourself? You have been raised by your aunt's side for a long time, and your aunt's greatest wish is that you can choose a good family to marry. The Metropolitan Governor is good, you still have a chance, you have to take advantage of it, you know? ”
"Yes, auntie." Mo Chuxue nodded her head.
"Alright, let's go shower and change." Mo Yanqing waved her hand: "Tonight, behave well." ”
"Yes, auntie." Mo Chuxue reluctantly withdrew from the side room, she was not happy at all. Why do you like Ao Sue, it's so difficult. She really wanted to run to Xiying and live and die with him. I don't know if he will accept her love.
"Mother really wants Hatsuyuki to become the Governor of the Metropolis?" Gan Jilu asked a little unwillingly.
"Naturally." Mo Yanqing stared and said, "Mother only has you and Chu Xue." In the future, the only thing that can help you is the first snow. Fortunately, King Shengqing was divorced that day, so you were not implicated. Look at what happened to the princess Shengqing now, even a princess couldn't escape prison. Although the Ao family is not as good as the palace, it is also a battlefield that has been through the court for a long time, and whether Ao Yu can get ahead or not has to be supported by nobles. Jiang Yu may really be able to help him. ”
"But......" Gan Jilu pouted in displeasure, "Mother, I am not happy to be subordinate to her." Why do you want me and my husband to bow to her? ”
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Mo Yanqing sighed faintly: "When you and my mother and daughter arrive at this step of the field, you have to endure the anger." Aunt Lu, when my mother saw you suffering, she was quite reluctant to do so. But now that we're here, we're going to have to bow our heads. You can rest assured that things will slowly develop for the better. After tonight, everything will be different. ”
Here, Gan Peilin just finished watching the lights, and was about to go to the kitchen to see the meal on the way, when he saw what Gan Yuze was holding and ran all the way. Look at him like that, the thing in his arms should be quite heavy.
"Rulan, go see what he's doing?" Gan Peilin felt a little strange.
"Yes." Liulan's footsteps were brisk, and he soon caught up with Gan Yuze. "Little master, don't run, what are you holding in your arms? Give NV a look! ”
"Get out of the way, don't stop me. I'm going to show it to my little sister. Gan Yuze said seriously.
"Little sister?" Liulan was confused. "Where's the little sister? Mrs. Sixth Aunt is pregnant with a little young master, didn't the imperial doctor say it? ”
"It's not. I'm going to show it to my little sister in Mingroin. Gan Puyang said seriously.
"That's not a little sister." Gan Peilin came over at this time and gently stroked his head. "That's your big brother daughter, your little niece. I should call you Uncle Young. ”
"I'm just going to show her anyway." Gan Puyang said seriously.
"Then let's take it to her together, okay?" Gan Peilin smiled and said, "It's too heavy for you to hold it like this." Let my sister help you. ”
"That'...... All right. But you can't tell my mother. Gan handed her the things.
Gan Peilin opened it and took a look, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Rulan and Crispy Core also widened their eyes in shock.
"It's not ...... How could it be ......"
"This is the fireworks that were just sent into the house and will be set off at night." Gan Peilin stroked Gan Yuze's head: "Where did you get it from?" ”
"It's in that big box." Gan Yuze giggled: "Sister, let's take it to the little sister, no, is it okay for the little niece?" ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin gestured slightly to Liulan.
Liulan understood, and immediately went to the housekeeper to investigate the matter.
Gan Peilin accompanied Gan Yuze to Minglu Courtyard.
Guo was holding his daughter in a daze under the tree.
"Sister-in-law." Gan Peilin walked in and called her softly.
"Oh, it's Sister Peilin." Guo Peiyi retracted her senses, frowned, and said, "I didn't prepare, my sister should sit inside." I asked people to serve tea. ”
"Nope." Gan Peilin stroked Yu Ze's head: "Yu Ze wants to bring fireworks to ...... Little niece look. So I came with him. ”
The reason why she paused was because she didn't know the name of the child born by Guo.
"My sister must be very happy." Guo Peiyi hugged her daughter and leaned next to Yu Ze: "There is a little uncle who cares about her so much." ”
"Sister?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be stunned: "Is her name called sister?" ”
"yes." Guo Peiyi's smile was a little embarrassed: "My mother-in-law has always disliked this child, and my husband has never named her." So ......"
In the same house, if it weren't for Yu Ze coming over today, Gan Peilin almost forgot that there was such a pair of hard-working mothers and daughters in the house.
Today's Mingrokuin Temple, the number of people serving is still undiminished, and the courtyard is still neat and clean. But what Guo and the child are wearing is not a particularly good material, let alone a new style.
"Sister-in-law, let's come to the banquet in the evening!" Gan Peilin said with a smile: "It's been a long time since the house has been so lively. ”
"I ...... I'm not going. Guo Peiyi politely refused: "The child just left, and it was the time to be naughty." I couldn't sit still. In case of crying, it will be troublesome to disturb the distinguished guests. Peilin, we won't make trouble for you. ”
"Okay then." Gan Peilin is not strong. "Then I'll come back to see my sister-in-law another day."
Gan Peilin handed the fireworks to Crispy Core and said to Gan Yuze: "I'll let someone send you back." These fireworks can't be given to you right now. It will look good when it is set off together at night. ”
"Okay." Gan Yuze is also obedient and not noisy. "I set off fireworks with my sister at night."
"Okay." Gan Peilin called a small servant to send Gan Yuze, and at this time, Liulan and the housekeeper also counted the fireworks and came over in a hurry.
"Miss, the number is wrong." Liulan frowned and said, "One less." ”
"This one was taken by Yu Ze?" Gan Peilin asked.
"It's not. This one counts. But there's still one less. Rulan glanced at the housekeeper.
"It's all the minions' fault, the minions went away to work on something else when they let them unload the goods. I didn't pay attention to how there were two pieces missing. "The housekeeper is in a hurry." It's just that I can't figure out at the moment whether it was taken by someone in our house, or whether the delivery was missing and counted. The minions have to check it out. ”
