Wu moved his body and said in a suppressed voice: "I heard that the eldest aunt has taken a concubine in the south, and she is spoiled like something, and the child is already pregnant." No, even the old lady's birthday was postponed. ”

Jiang Xinqiong is twenty-four years old this year, married to the Feng family at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to a pair of children for the Feng family, and it has been eight years now. Eight years is enough time to make a woman's youthful and pretty face slowly covered with fine lines.

Before Feng Siyuan was lifted, there were two aunts in the room, with a mediocre appearance, both of whom were carried up from the maids in the room. If a man's career is not successful, it is inevitable that women will look down on him, guard his wife, and live in peace with his children and two aunts.

What's more, Jiang Xinqiong's young lady is from a young lady, not to mention her appearance, not to mention her temperament, what is rare is that she is open-minded, gets along very well with her in-laws and concubines, and never beats and scolds the two aunts. The husband and wife have really lived a few years of affection and love, and the husband sings with the wife.

In the spring of last year, Feng Siyuan was moved, and he walked out to the south to be an official, and the south was the territory of the Feng family and the Jiang family, and Feng Zhixian quickly gained a firm foothold in Taicang County. The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the rich land, the talented and beautiful women, are countless. It didn't take long for Feng Siyuan to take a beautiful concubine into the door.

To say that this beautiful concubine is not an ordinary person, the daughter of the richest man in Taicang County. The surname is Huang Mingying, sixteen years old, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and he is hired. What's even more rare is that this woman is as her name suggests, a soft language of Wu Nong is delicate and soft, soft and charming, it is really a yellow warbler out of the valley, and the kite cries and the phoenix chirps. Straight to the seven souls and eight elements that Feng Siyuan was obsessed with, except for the first day of the new year and the fifteenth day of the main house, all the rest of the rest rested in Aunt Huang's house.

Jiang Xinqiong was born as a young lady, and she was used to fighting in the inner house since she was a child, and her means were naturally powerful, otherwise how could those two aunts have followed Feng Siyuan for all these years, and they haven't even fished for a year and a half, but unfortunately, she planted a fight on this Huang Ying.

As for how to plant the fight. Wu couldn't say why, thinking of the pregnant green moss in the house, he only said angrily: "The crows in this world are really black." ”

Xin Yao frowned, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes. She whispered a few words in Wu's ear.

Wu's face soon became happy. She shook Xin Yao's hand, and said after a while: "With my sister's words, sister-in-law, I will rest assured!" ”

Xin Yao listened to the big sister's matter, and suddenly lost interest, picked up a few snacks, melons and fruits, and used them silently.

Half an hour later, all the men left, the maids removed the screen, and the women returned to their original positions one after another to eat tea and chat. The ladies seemed to have a red cloud on their faces, and they all pinched their handkerchiefs and hugged them silently. The two wives of the Jiang family shuttled between them, left and right. There is harmony in Guiyun Hall.

……

While talking, the two brothers, Jiang Hongjian and Jiang Hongsheng, ushered a person who looked like an inner servant into the house.

It turned out that Concubine Han in the palace heard that her aunt was celebrating her 60th birthday today. He deliberately led the decree before him today, and gave him something to come down.

The old lady glanced at Cai's with an excited expression, thanked Concubine Han for her grace, and knelt down in Guiyun Hall.

The chamberlain pronounced the decree, and walked out with both nostrils facing the sky. Jiang Hongjian, Jiang Hongsheng hurriedly followed, and secretly stuffed an embroidered bag into the hand of the waiter. The chamberlain touched the thickness, nodded with satisfaction, and walked away.

For a while, the congratulatory voices in Guiyun Hall came and went, and the eyes of the ladies looking at the old lady and Cai's were different. The old lady is the daughter of the Hou Mansion in the end, and she was used to seeing scenes when she was young. Although I was happy in my heart, I still had a just right smile on my face.

That Cai swept away the previous gloom, and suddenly his face was radiant, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Jiang Xinyao bit her lip and sighed softly.

……

After a pillar of incense. The front yard and the back yard are all feasting to entertain guests. There were eighteen tables for the banquet, ten for the men and eight for the women, in two pavilions by the heart lake.

Today, the Jiang family invited the most famous troupe in the capital, the stage is set up on the edge of the heart lake, the heart lake at the end of July, the green lotus covers the green water, the hibiscus is covered with red and fresh, and a pool of lotus flowers is extraordinarily beautiful. There are both beautiful scenery and fairy music, and then set up a table here, elegant and vulgar appreciation, so uncomfortable.

God is also very cooperative, there was a heavy rain at dawn, and then it has been cloudy, and the lake wind is blowing, which is quite cool.

The old lady was surrounded by people like stars holding the moon, and at the same table were the three wives of the Zhou family and three relatives of high seniority. The tables and chairs are all round, and everyone is seated in turn.

Xin Yao, Xin Yue, Xin Shan, the three girls from the Jiang family and the two daughters-in-law of the Jiang family, Shen and Wu, sat at the same table. Also at the same table were two girls from the Zhou family, Zhou Xiaoqing, Zhou Xiaoli, and Wu Yihua, a girl from the Wu family.

Xia He led the maids, the mothers-in-law served food and wine, and Qiu Ju took more than 20 little maids to stand behind the guests and wait for the call.

The play has been sung, and it is the old lady's "Five Daughters' Birthday" that she sang. In order not to make extraneous branches, Xin Yao did not let Ying return to Jiang's mansion to help, so today's cook was invited from the restaurant outside.

Looking at the presentation of the dishes, the style is exquisite, four dried fruits, four candied fruits, eight cold dishes, and sixteen hot dishes, which arouse everyone's appetite. Xin Yao tasted the dishes carefully, and was thinking about the scene just now.

……

In King Jing's mansion, the two brothers Yan Chunyuan and Yan Huannian had lunch in the study. Yan Huanyuan used it for a while, then put down the chopsticks and said, "Today, the old lady of the Jiang family celebrates her sixtieth birthday, and it must be very lively, and I don't know if the old lady in the palace is satisfied?" ”

Yan Sixteen snorted coldly and said, "I don't know if the old lady is satisfied or not, but the people of the Zhou family must be very satisfied." These days, the Zhou family has stuffed a lot of silver into the palace, I heard that some of it was borrowed from the Jiang family, second brother, you said that Concubine Han's action today, is it difficult to become silver? ”

Yan Songyuan sneered: "Ten * should be, the Jiang family is different from the Zhou family, the Zhou family is a silver spear wax pole head, and it is useless." The Jiang family is just the opposite, with decades of accumulation, and a thick foundation. ”

"No wonder, the Jiang family's two-bedroom family is planning to split up."

Yan Songyuan asked with interest: "Splitting the family, this is a good idea, who came up with it, it won't be her again, right?" ”

Yan Sixteen put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Brother, how do I know?" I haven't had time to ask about the things I've been busy with in the past two days. ”

Yan Huanyuan said in a low voice: "It's all arranged?" ”

Yan Sixteen raised his eyebrows proudly and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry! ”

"Shen Li went to the army, when do you plan to leave?"

Yan Sixteen's heart tightened, it had only been half a month since he came back, and the days of meeting Ah Yuan could be counted on one finger, he originally wanted to wait for Ah Yuan to get married before going to the army, but the current situation was ......

Seeing his younger brother's expression, Yan Songyuan said seriously: "The coming day is long, I think it's better for you to leave early." He has my protection on this side, and nothing can happen. ”

Yan Sixteen nodded obediently, and the brothers got up and went to the outer room.

……

The girls and daughters-in-law of large families have been raised since they were young to eat and sleep, and they only feast, but they have no of these customs.

Shen Ying is the eldest lady in the house, so she naturally has to greet the three sisters-in-law and the three girls, and she is also smiling at the table for a while.

The two girls of the Zhou family left the old lady's side, and there were obviously fewer words, An An ate the dishes in front of her, tasted the fruit wine, but her eyes looked at the girls of the Wu family from time to time.

That Wu Yihua was dressed in azure clothes, with high comb hair, delicate beads, water-green jade waterdrop earrings, and two long strands of hair from the sideburns of his ears came down, looking as light as a chrysanthemum.

Looking at it, there was a sour look in the eyes of the two girls of the Zhou family. Half a year ago, how could there be a little daughter in their eyes, but the phoenix that landed was not as good as a chicken.

In addition to occasionally saying a few words, Wu Yihua eats elegantly most of the time. The eyes that the two girls of the Zhou family threw at her were as if she hadn't seen them.

Shen quietly took the looks of the three girls in front of her into her eyes, and she gently pushed the Wu family beside her with her hand.

Wu smiled knowingly, picked up his wine glass and smiled at the two girls of the Zhou family: "My sisters are still used to living in the mansion for the past two days, right?" If there is anything to be slow, please bear with me. ”

The two sisters of the Zhou family picked up their wine glasses with sweet faces, drank half of them, and said that they didn't dare to do it.

Wu Shi raised his head, Shen Shi and Xin Qiong all raised their glasses and toasted the three girls frequently.

Jiang Xinshan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the two emerald bracelets in Xin Yao's hands. She is not an uninformed person, a girl from a rich and noble family, she has never seen any good things, but like the two green and green yang, green positive, green pretty, and green bracelets in the hands of the fourth sister, I am afraid that I can't find the same pair in the capital.

Thinking of the recession of his own dowry shop these days, his face was a little scornful. （http：／／）。 She glanced at the Wu family, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, why haven't you seen Aunt Bi today, it's been a few months, and I can prepare for my future nephews and nieces first." ”

Wu just picked up a chopstick dish, brought it to his mouth, tasted it, and said with a smile: "It's been four months, and I'll keep it." When the time comes, don't you, who are aunts, have to prepare the gifts first? ”

Jiang Xinshan said with a smile: "If you want me to say, the most important thing we should prepare here is the fourth sister." Bi Ruo has been with the fourth sister for ten years, this master-servant friendship is really rare, and the fourth sister must prepare a thick courtesy. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the Jiang family changed slightly.

Everyone knows that Bitundra is Xin Yao's person, and he followed the second master behind his back, which not only slapped Xin Yao in the face, but also made a trace of suspicion between Xin Yao and the Wu family. Which one is a sister-in-law, who can tolerate the people around the sister-in-law to enter the house and become an aunt, and she is pregnant.

Wu Yihua looked at her sister worriedly and didn't dare to speak. As if he hadn't heard this, Wu calmly gave Xin Yao a chopstick dish.

On the contrary, Jiang Xinqiong thought of her aunt who had a good belly and was favored, and her face sank, 3l4 (..)
