Chapter 89 Full Moon Reunion (2nd Watch)
Zhang Xinyu's recent situation was really expected by Jiang Xinshan, she was not too busy to take care of herself because the man lost face, but because she was tossed by the Xun family.
When his son went to the army, Xun was anxious and hateful, and suddenly fell ill in bed, shouting that it was uncomfortable here, uncomfortable there.
The mother-in-law is sick, the daughter-in-law naturally has to serve the sick, the Ye family takes care of the house, and has to wait for the uncle and the two children, and the heavy responsibility of serving the sick falls on Zhang Xinyu alone.
The Bixun family has never had a good impression of this little daughter-in-law, and the son also went in a fit of anger because he had a quarrel with her, so he made trouble, where would there be a good face for her to see, in just a few days, Zhang Xinyu was tossed enough.
Zhang Xinyu can't say that she is bitter, and a word of filial piety will crush her to death. In addition, the man went to the army, she was alone in the empty room, her mind and body were lonely, and there was no one to negotiate in the Shen family, and within a few days, her face lost blood.
Mama Zhang was distressed for a long time, and she really had nothing to do, so she had to go to Zhang's house to ask her wife for help.
Who expected Yan Xiwen to hear what happened to her daughter in the Shen family, and said with a face as usual: "If there is such a thing in the future, you don't have to come to me to complain." I think this child is now acting more and more freely, and it is time for someone to treat her well. What's more, today, ruling the world with filial piety, and waiting for her mother-in-law is the duty of a daughter-in-law. Even if I am the daughter of the eldest princess, I have been married to the Zhang family for a few years, and my filial piety is indispensable. ”
Mama Zhang persuaded with a smiling face: "Madam, Miss is the meat that fell from Madame's body, Mademoiselle is having a sad life in the Shen family, isn't Madame distressed?" ”
"Distressed?"
Yan Xiwen threw the account book in her hand on the small table and sneered: "This family business is what she wants to choose." At the beginning, for her, I took my brother. The sister-in-law was completely offended, and the eldest princess even gave up her decades-old face for her. What else? You go back and tell her that if you have the ability, you can coax your mother-in-law by yourself. I don't have the ability, I deserve it. ”
When Mama Zhang saw that her wife was angry, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to persuade her, so she had to go back to the house.
When Zhang Xinyu heard her mother's words, she burst into tears, but she was helpless, so she had to knock out her teeth and swallow blood in her stomach, taking advantage of no one. Tears over the moon. By the next day, I still had to hold on.
……
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the civil and military officials of the capital took a day off.
Xiao Han got up early in the morning, took Minggui and the Mingsheng brothers out of the house, and they were still nowhere to be seen until the afternoon.
Xin Yao took the stewards to take care of all the things in the house, and went to the kitchen twice in person before sitting down to drink tea while waiting for the man to come back.
Sunset. Someone in front of me replied that the uncle had brought someone back to the house, and was asking the old lady in the West Courtyard to ask for peace, and asked the grandmother to put the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the garden water pavilion.
Xin Yao looked at the hour. Tell Li's mother to go and make arrangements.
The water pavilion of the Shaw Mansion is half built on the shore and half in the water, and the water is surrounded by a low carved balustrade, and the two places overlap each other.
When Xin Yao entered the pavilion, lanterns had been lit at the four corners of the pavilion, and cups and wine utensils were placed on the round table. The four men were all seated, and the surrounding maids were boiling tea, and warm wine.
When Xin Yao went out, she was forced by Weiyun to wear a green calyx embroidered cloak with a white background. Yingying's another rhyme is born.
Xiao Han's eyes lit up, and he got up and took off his cloak for her. Give it to the person behind you.
Xin Yao stepped forward and saluted. Only then did he smile and said: "I said that the uncle is always missing today, but he went to Yiyuan." ”
Xiao Han pulled Xin Yao to his side, touched the temperature on her hand, and said with a smile: "Who is sighing in my ear every day Ah Yuan, the whole master is lonely in Yiyuan for the holidays." ”
Old lady Xiao laughed and said: "It's all my own family, we are pulling and pulling in the house, and there are only three masters, so it's better for the two families to get together and be lively." ”
Xiao Ting knows a lot about Jinjue Pavilion and Yiyuan, and he also knows the relationship between his granddaughter-in-law and Xu Hongyuan, and he has always liked Tanhualang's knowledge, so he is naturally happy. What's more, the Mid-Autumn Festival pays attention to the atmosphere of reunion, there are many people, and even drinking is a little interested.
Xu Hongyuan hurriedly said: "Being able to drink and admire the moon with the old lady and spend the festival together is the glory of the younger generation. ”
Xiao Ting thought of the situation of spending the holiday alone with his grandson in the past, and sighed at the moment: "Sure enough, it is a full moon reunion, virtuous nephew, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" How is it? ”
Xu Hongyuan smiled loudly and said, "Old lady, today, I don't plan to go back soberly!" ”
"Grandfather, I was complained by my aunt when I turned around, but don't blame my granddaughter-in-law for not reminding you in advance!" Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but splash a handful of cold water.
"Complaining?"
Xiao Ting's eyes widened, and his beard curled up angrily: "She dares!" The water spilled by the married daughter, no matter how long her hand is, is it difficult to take care of her Lao Tzu's affairs? ”
Xiao Ting coughed lightly, and said in a low voice with an unnatural expression: "You two, don't chew your tongue in front of your aunt." ”
Everyone knows that the old lady only has Xiao Jingxian's only daughter, and most of her words are obedient, so they will smile and not say anything.
At this time, Li's mother had already led the maids to serve the food.
According to the instructions of the young grandmother, Meizi has been busy since a few days ago, and made a unique Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, jade prawns, osmanthus sugar lotus, mint honey sauce short ribs, sauced duck legs, garlic cowpeas, crystal pork skin jelly, and the six cold dishes alone are very exquisite.
Where can everyone endure it, after raising a glass to the feast, they started one after another.
After Jiang Quan tasted them one by one, he sighed: "In the end, it is the person trained by the young lady, it is not much worse than the return of the warbler, there are a few dishes that look very novel, I am afraid that the young lady has only recently spent time researching it!" ”
Xin Yao said with a smile: "Master Quan, don't worry, I have already sent it to Yinggui." ”
Xu Hongyuan raised his glass to Xiao Jing and said, "Old lady, this is full of capital, I envy your old man." Look at your complexion, how do you look like a person in his fifties? Looking like she was in her early forties, I really wanted to coax this girl Meizi to my house, and I was willing to give up! ”
Old lady Xiao smiled proudly: "Virtuous nephew, who doesn't know that Yiyuan's food is a must in the capital, just like Guicheng, there is a long queue of people who want to eat, and we are both blessed people." ”
Jiang Quan said with a smile: "Old lady, do you know that in the old house of Suzhou Mansion, the old lady of my family who passed away took out a lot of good things in order to eat, and sometimes it depends on how the young lady is in a mood, if the young lady is in a bad mood, the dishes sent by the kitchen that day must be difficult to swallow." ”
Xu Hongyuan, Xiao Han couldn't help but look at Xin Yao, Xin Yao raised her eyebrows, and smiled silently with osmanthus stuffing.
Old lady Xiao laughed and said: "In this way, I really have a good mouth, granddaughter-in-law, take it, grandfather will also give you a good thing today." With that, he took out a piece of Jinpa from his arms and handed it to Xin Yao.
Jiang Xinyao took the handkerchief, opened it and saw that it was a few yellowed prescriptions, and she hurriedly said, "Grandfather, who are you?" ”
Old lady Xiao picked up a piece of pork skin jelly, put it in his mouth, and said after a while: "If you want to give it sooner or later, if you don't give it to you, who else can you give it?" To you, I am most assured. Grandfather is not for nothing, next year, I will hold my grandson. ”
Xin Yao knew very well the value of these prescriptions, and she was secretly shocked in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Grandfather, you better take it back, if I give birth to a granddaughter, who can I pass it on?" ”
Old lady Xiao looked at Xiao Han intentionally or unintentionally, and glared: "As long as it is not a rotten wood that knows nothing about medicine, it will be the same for anyone." Granddaughter, I like it even more! ”
Xiao Han was stunned, snorted coldly, and gave Xin Yao a chopstick dish, but he didn't hear it.
Seeing this, Xu Hongyuan also took out a carved brocade box from his arms, and said with a smile: "The old lady has taken out all the treasures of the housekeeper, how can I, who is an uncle, not express it?" Yao'er, open it and take a look? ”
Jiang Xinyao took the brocade box and sighed for a cool breath, a pair of jade white jade bracelets with white and delicate whiteness, rich oil, and a texture like congealed fat, the most rare thing is that this pair of bracelets has no trace of impurities all over the body, and each bracelet contains a small piece of yellow-brown secretion, which is very valuable at a glance.
Xin Yao hadn't finished reading the white jade bracelet here, and another carved brocade box was handed to her.
"Miss, take a look at this?"
Xin Yao glanced at Jiang Quan suspiciously, lowered her eyes, it was a rectangular chanterelle yellow seal, the stone was delicate and condensed, slightly transparent, moist and psychic, and people couldn't put it down.
Xin Yaohu wondered, "What's wrong today?" Give me such a heavy gift. ”
Xu Hongyuan said with a smile: "You kid is stupid, today is your good day, it's hard to forget even your own birthday!" ”
Xin Yao suddenly realized that August 15 was her sixteenth birthday, and she wanted to call her little uncle and grandfather.
She tilted her head to look at the man, who raised his glass to her with a smile in his eyes and drank it down.
Jiang Quan raised his glass and said: "Miss has never had a birthday in previous years, and for the first time today, the gift must be accepted, and this wine must also be drunk." ”
Everyone congratulated Xin Yao on her birthday, Xin Yao raised her glass and thanked them one by one, but Xiao Han was missing. (http://.)。 Xiao Han thought about Jiang Quan's words just now, but he didn't care.
Xu Hongyuan responded: "Today's reunion of good people is one joy, Yao'er's birthday is two joys, and it is enough to have three glasses in a row." Old lady, the younger generation respects you! ”
Old Man Xiao was arrogant and said with a smile: "Good, good, good, it's really happy." ”
For a while, there was laughter in the water pavilion, and the staggered plans were staggered, you came and went, so it was not lively.
Mother Li personally brought two plates of sixteen hairy crabs to the table, and said with a smile: "Grandma specially asked people to send hairy crabs from the south quickly, and today I made two flavors, one is steamed, the other is salted, the old lady, the third master, the uncle, the whole master quickly taste."
Everyone looked, good guys, each crab weighs eight pounds, steamed red, really attractive.
Xu Hongyuan said: "I have eaten a lot of steamed crabs, but I have never heard of this salt-baked crab." ”
Everyone was amazed at the moment. (To be continued) (..)
