In a blink of an eye, the second master's birthday is just around the corner, the night before, Zhu Rong came to Xinghuatang to ask his father and mother to say goodbye, and begged his adoptive mother in front of his father, hoping to arrange Pingjue to play in Dongyuan for half a day tomorrow.

"Yingzhi and Toshiyuki promised me that they would take good care of their younger brother." Zhu Rong said, "I don't dare to bother my mother." ”

Yang said quietly: "I'm not good, don't go to your second uncle's prosperity tomorrow, you can talk to your father." ”

Zhu Chengqian wrote a letter at the table, and responded without raising his head: "I haven't seen him for a few days, I don't know how he is, Madame has the idea." ”

The eldest lady glanced at her husband, and said impatiently: "Then sit for an hour, don't be too long, he is so weak, ask your second uncle and aunt to be worried, tell Yingzhi, be careful not to let him eat the things on the table indiscriminately, he will not move." ”

"Yes." Zhu Rong said, "I'll go and tell my sisters." ”

The eldest lady asked again, "What gifts have you prepared for your birthday?" ”

Zhu Rong responded: "According to the old lady's instructions, the brothers and sisters pooled their money and found an ancient inkstone, and the second uncle has always liked Wenmo. ”

Zhu Chengqian put down his pen and said: "I've been too busy these days to prepare congratulatory gifts, Rong'er, you go to my study and look through it, and find a calligraphy to draw it." ”

"Yes." Zhu Rong received his order, and then he retreated.

The door was closed, Zhu Chengqian also wrote a letter, slowly put the letter into the envelope, and the eldest lady stepped forward to help, saying: "Don't drink too much tomorrow, you are drunk and love to talk nonsense." ”

"There are so many guests here that you don't get drunk." Zhu Chengqian said, "Don't worry, I don't drink." ”

"I'm going to look at Hanzhi's side, so I can't come, and you don't ask those women to come and see me." The eldest lady said, "Just say that I am not good." ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "Don't always lock yourself in the house, it's easy to think crankily when you're bored, you think it's a big thing, maybe people don't care at all." ”

The eldest lady shook her head and sighed: "Your mind is so simple, no wonder your ancestors have not made any achievements in you, it's not that I think you don't do much, but don't you want to think about it, is it a trivial matter?" I've told you 800 times, why don't you take it to heart. ”

Zhu Chengqian didn't want to argue and quarrel with his wife, but he also had his own opinions on everything, and said: "I know your intentions and hard work, but now that people are gone, what are you worried about?" It's been five years. ”

The eldest lady brought tea to her husband, but said in a cold tone: "Your precious son, after four years, can you turn out a bone?" ”

"Be quiet." Zhu Chengqian frowned, "One case is one case, you always close the door to thank customers, so you are not afraid that others will be curious about what is wrong with you?" ”

The eldest lady said: "What can I do, there are fewer and fewer people at the bottom, if I am not careful, they will cause trouble, I have to keep an eye on myself?" ”

Zhu Chengqian drank tea and said to his wife gently: "Come with me to the banquet, don't you want to think about the mouth of the third family, tomorrow she may say something unseemly in front of people, she will be like you to care about this family?" She only cares, can she squeeze you, look at your jokes. ”

The eldest lady was extremely disgusted: "What a lintel you wish the family, the princess of the heavenly family can also marry, how did you marry the daughter of a martial artist family in the first place, although the second family is not in harmony with me, in the end, it is the daughter of the Houmen, and I know what the overall situation is important." As for the country woman of the third family, your mother is not afraid that she has wronged her younger son. ”

Zhu Chengqian said with a smile: "I'll go alone, it's boring, go with me, the third family is afraid of you after all, if you are really in front of you, she will shut up." ”

The eldest lady was not angry: "I won't go, you are boring, take two small ones, they are decent and good-looking." ”

Zhu Chengqian said patiently: "Which master brought his aunt to the banquet, you are not afraid of losing face?" Come with me, I'll choose a dress for you, and I'll see a new spring shirt delivered that day, and I won't see you wearing it. ”

The eldest lady leaned lazily on the pillow: "It's going to be fifty people, what are you dressing up?" ”

Zhu Chengqian opened the wardrobe with great interest, and said: "In my eyes, you are still the same as when we got married." ”

He took out two new robes, one left and one right: "Although the dark green and blue are solemn, they are always too serious, I love to see you wearing red clothes." ”

The eldest lady smiled: "At my age, I can coax people like that, I will lose in your mouth in my life." ”

Zhu Chengqian smiled: "You and I are husband and wife, which one I don't coax you?" ”

The eldest lady looked at her husband vigilantly: "You are not quite right tonight, what are you doing wrong?" ”

Zhu Chengqian took out a red-woven gold cloud-patterned Ruyi shirt and sent it to his wife: "This is good, wear this?" ”

"What the hell is wrong with you?" The eldest lady undressed her and looked at her husband suspiciously.

"Well, then I'll go, lest you think wildly." Zhu Chengqian put down his things and really turned around to leave.

The eldest lady was anxious: "Stand down for me." ”

As the night deepened, the busiest East Garden also quieted down, and the whole house recuperated and prepared for tomorrow's banquet.

In Zhu Rong's small courtyard, the lights were just extinguished, and Zhengming quietly entered the door and said softly: "Childe, the eldest master has sent a message, I want you to rest assured." ”

He understood what his father meant, and his adoptive mother should have changed her mind and was willing to go to Dongyuan for a banquet.

Tomorrow, I will take Fuyi and Yunzhi to visit the eldest sister in Chunmingzhai, thinking about it, it is best to let the adoptive mother have no time to separate between the guests, he only mentions it occasionally, and his father not only agreed, but also did it for him.

Zhu Rong knows his position in his father's heart, so he never investigates what kind of entanglement his biological mother has with his father, at least his existence is enough to prove the weight of his mother in his father's heart in the past.

After such a peaceful night, the next morning, the main entrance of the Guogong Mansion was opened to welcome the guests.

Before noon, when it was the busiest time, the male guests talked about the country and the world in the main hall of the East Garden, and the female guests gossiped and watched the play in the west hall.

The Prime Minister's Mansion came late, naturally it was also their honor, the old lady took her sons and daughters-in-law to greet them in person, Zhu Chengqian and the brothers hugged the old minister, she and her daughters-in-law supported the Prime Minister's wife, and the group arrived at the East Garden, and all the guests stood to greet them.

In the west hall, the prime minister's wife held the hand of her eldest granddaughter, looked left and right, and said to the old lady and the second lady: "This child is more handsome than when he was a child, and he doesn't look like the mother of two children, but the old lady and his own mother cherish him." ”

The old lady said, "Thanks to you, you have raised such a good granddaughter-in-law for our family." ”

As she spoke, the nurse brought the two little dolls, and the prime minister's wife hugged them in her arms, and said with a smile: "Our family is short of such a big doll now, or you are blessed." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "It's time for the eldest prince to marry, you just have to wait to hold your great-grandson." ”

The prime minister's wife said: "Yan Shi's child, the old monk in the temple said that he would have to start a family after the age of twenty to be able to last long, and this will not be delayed until now." Old sister, if you have a suitable child, you can't just think about your grandchildren, but also think about my family. ”

She said and asked the accompanying subordinates: "What about Yan Shi, order him to kowtow to the old lady." ”

The old lady said: "Don't ask the children to do the rules, it's rare to have a comfortable day, just listen to the play and drink, today's play is excellent, it was chosen by your eldest granddaughter herself." ”

The young lady said to her grandmother: "Grandma, you and my old lady are sitting down, and there are still people outside to support you, so I will go first." ”

So he left a room of young and old women, and the young lady came out with the maid and met her brother and sister.

Min Yanshi stepped forward and said: "Big sister is fine, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I was not allowed to come to ask for peace on your birthday before, and I asked my sister to bear with me." ”

The young lady smiled: "You are now in the career of Hengda, and when you are the busiest, I will feel relieved to know that you are good." ”

As he spoke, he saw the younger sister beside his younger brother, and said, "Chu Lin, you are here too, look, have you grown taller?" ”

The daughter of the Min family and her brother Min Yanshi are the same mother, and the rest of the brothers and sisters are all concubines, and there are still those who have not been able to come today, and their brothers and sisters are naturally the dignity and dignity of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they are rarely allowed to come to the banquet with their grandparents and grandmothers.

Min Chulin didn't respect Sister Shu as much as his brother, and his bright eyebrows revealed a little disdain, and he said lightly: "Eldest sister is fine, look at today's posture, now you are in charge of the Grandpa's Mansion?" ”

The young lady said gently: "I am just a daughter-in-law, and I am just a hand in everything." She stepped out of the way, "Go in, I'll go outside." ”

Min Yanshi owed his back, so he walked into the west hall, but heard his sister ask behind him: "What about the girls in your family, they have been here for a long time, and there is no one to see." ”

The young lady said, "Take the young ladies who came earlier and go to the garden." ”

On this side, the daughters of the family were scattered in the garden to enjoy the flowers and butterflies, Yunzhi quietly left them, and brought support to the southwest corner, Zhu Rong, who should have been at home on an errand, magically appeared in front of the two and led them to the door of Chunming Zhai.

Yunzhi was very nervous and trembled: "Brother, it's so cold here." ”
