Chapter 138: Full Moon Wine
On the day of Chao Ge'er's full moon wine, Zhou Xi's family came over early, but Cheng Yuanniang had just gotten up, and the girl was waiting for her to freshen up.
"Today is a good day for my brother, and it would be better for the princess to go over earlier." Zhou Xijia smiled on his face, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
Princess Cheng is not a particularly difficult person, and she has long been exempted from asking for peace in each room.
Normally, Cheng Yuanniang can sleep as long as she wants. But today is Chao Ge'er's full moon wine, and Cheng Yuanniang is the mother-in-law, so she has to go over early to greet the guests.
"The banquet only starts at noon, why be in such a hurry." Cheng Yuanniang said.
A concubine's full moon wine, her mother-in-law has already come forward, what else do you want.
"Alas, this ......" Zhou Xijia sighed and said, "Over there in Nuanxiangwu, the princess of the county is afraid that she will not think so." ”
If there is no Wu clan to fight against Taiwan, it doesn't matter if Cheng Yuanniang goes late.
But with Wu here, the situation will be different. It is said that there are two rooms, but the man is the same, and the aunt of the Wu family can also be called the mother-in-law.
If the Wu family went to Zhang Luo first, and Cheng Yuanniang arrived late, it would be embarrassing.
"I don't care what she thinks." Cheng Yuanniang said indignantly, "The concubine from the merchant is really going to be faced." ”
Zhou Xi's family didn't say much, but just gave the maid's eyes and asked them to move faster.
The girls were waiting for Cheng Yuanniang, and the nurse in the east wing came in quietly.
Cheng Yuanniang doesn't like to go to her brother, and when the subordinates in the East Wing report back, she is very careful.
Tell Cheng Yuanniang that not only will she not solve any problems, but she will also be scolded. Brother Chao'er's affairs can only be found in Zhou Xi's family.
"Sister-in-law......" the mother-in-law whispered.
Zhou Xi's family hurried over and took his mother-in-law out of the house, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"My brother is a little hot, if I carry it out, I'm afraid of the ......wind," the nurse said nervously.
Zhou Xijia immediately frowned and said, "I tell you to take care of it, how can it be like this." ”
"Slaves never dare to be sloppy." The nurse said, her face full of grievances.
They did their best, but it was difficult for children to take care of them. In addition, Brother Chao was born prematurely, and they were afraid of a little accident.
"Alas, I see, you take care of it." Zhou Xi's family is also helpless.
She believed that the nurse was dedicated, and she didn't pick a time when she was sick, so she could only say that it was a coincidence.
After a few more words of advice to the nurse, Zhou Xijia turned around and went back to the main room.
Cheng Yuanniang had just eaten breakfast, she was in a bad mood, and she didn't eat a few bites, and the girls were waiting to wear their coats.
"Brother Chao'er is weak, I think it's good to let him be in the wing, there is no need to carry him to the back garden." Zhou Xijia said with a smile.
Generally, when the full moon is drunk, the child has to be carried out. But the nurse said so, and it was safer to stay in the house.
"How can it be so delicate." Cheng Yuanniang said impatiently, "If you don't hug it, you will be talked about by Guo Changshi again, why bother." ”
Zhou Xijia hesitated: "I only said that my brother is weak, I believe Guo Changshi will not say anything." ”
Although Guo Changshi didn't like Cheng Yuanniang, he was very loyal to Han Xiao. Han Xiao's eldest son, he will not deliberately toss.
"Like you said, that Wu clan would have gone over a long time ago. I've already lost the lead, and if I don't even hold the child, I'll be laughed at. Cheng Yuanniang said, and instructed the girl: "Go to the east wing to see, has the nurse cleaned up, and it will be over." ”
"Yes." The girl responded and hurried away.
Zhou Xi's family can't stop it, and it's not easy to say it.
Serving Cheng Yuanniang for so long, she is tired and tired, and she has a faint regret in her heart.
Cheng Yuanniang has finished cleaning up, and the nurses in the East Chamber are also ready. A wet nurse hugged her brother, one followed, and two grandmothers also followed.
The group went out from the corner gate, and two carts were already waiting.
The banquet is placed in the back garden of the moon and the clouds, the terrain is open, although it is not the main building in the back garden, it is enough to put wine for the concubine.
Cheng Yuanniang sat in the front car, the nurse held Chao Ge'er and sat in the back, and the girl accompanied her.
"Alas......" Zhou Xijia, who accompanied him, sighed heavily in his heart.
When the two big cars arrived at the moon and earth cloud house, the girl was busy going in and out, and the Wu family had already arrived, and she was stretching back and forth. Compared with Cheng Yuanniang, who just arrived, Wu's next-room aunt is more like a mother-in-law.
"The princess is here." Wu smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
Cheng Yuanniang's expression was stiff, whether it was the revenge of the last time or the situation in front of her, it made her want to beat the Wu family violently.
"Please sit in the princess's house, the guests have just arrived." Wu said with a smile, completely claiming to be the hostess.
The full moon wine of the concubine, please relatives and friends. This time it is all the descendants of the Yan Wangfu, the king of this county, the general, all of them are royal relatives.
Cheng Yuanniang is a genuine mother-in-law, but she came later than this aunt, and no one is to blame for being laughed at.
"It's hard work, princess." Zhou Xijia stepped forward and said, with a smile on his face and said loudly: "It is not in vain that the princess entrusted you, and it is most suitable for you to cook for you." ”
Wu's face changed slightly, Zhou Xijia's words, although the credit is still hers, but it is to push Cheng Yuanniang's dereliction of duty clean.
"Yes, these little things, the princess of the county is good at cooking, and she is the best at cooking." Cheng Yuanniang followed, with a smug look on her face.
If the Wu family has to fight for credit, then the credit has to be counted like this. She was very happy to be the subordinate who was called.
"Brother Chao'er's full moon wine, is it a trivial matter in the eyes of the princess, this is the first child of the princess." Wu asked with a smile, "I was just worried that the princess was careless, so I came here in advance." I didn't expect it to be the right place, the guests came, but they didn't see the princess. Fortunately, they are all from their own families, so they don't care about these, otherwise I'm afraid that the princess will fall into a joke. ”
Cheng Yuanniang was furious when she heard this, and just as she was about to refute, she heard a sentence from outside the house: "I'm late, don't make jokes at the master's house." ”
When the words fell, I saw the county lord of Anhua with the girl's mother-in-law, and the group of people was even more imposing.
Wu and Cheng Yuanniang didn't feel that they were shutting up, Princess Cheng's only surviving child, who had already married but acted fiercely, both of them were jealous in their hearts.
"I've seen the county lord." Zhou Xijia hurriedly saluted.
When the guests in the house saw her coming, they also quickly got up to say hello.
The county lord of Anhua responded one by one with a smile, and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Chao'er yet, did you bring it, let me take a look." ”
When Brother Chao was born, she took her favorite to play in the palace courtyard, and she didn't come back until Xisan.
It wasn't until the day before yesterday that she returned to the palace and learned about the birth of her brother.
"Here you go." Cheng Yuanniang said with a smile.
The nurse hurriedly hugged her brother and stepped forward, and the county lord of Anhua looked at it and said, "This child looks a little weak, and the princess has to work hard to take care of it." ”
"Since it is my child, I will take good care of it." Cheng Yuanniang said with a smile, looking at Wu with a little smugness.
Anyway, Han Xiao's first child is in her name, and in this alone, she is stronger than the Wu family.
Wu had a fire in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Speaking of which, Brother Chao'er is also miserable, and he was born prematurely, so he is a little weaker." ”
Although Qixia died in childbirth, it seems that Cheng Yuanniang's methods are even more ruthless. But who cares about a girl's life, Chao Ge'er is unhealthy to be born prematurely, this is the big crime of Cheng Yuanniang's poor care.
Cheng Yuanniang just wanted to refuse, but the county lord of Anhua said: "It's good to take care of it, come here, bring my congratulatory gift." ”
She is not interested in these messy things in the back house. But the face of Yan Wangfu, the two of them are arguing like this, which is too embarrassing.
The mother-in-law stepped forward with a tray, four big gifts, each valuable.
"A few little things, let's play with my brother." Lord Anwar said with a smile.
Cheng Yuanniang looked at the things and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's too precious, a child, where can I put away such a heavy gift from the county lord." ”
Lord Anwar said indifferently: "Little thing." ”
When she got married, the dowry was extraordinarily rich. She is also good at management, and the dowry has increased several times over the years.
Not to mention that she has lived in the palace all these years, and Princess Cheng will not treat her own daughter badly. In terms of money alone, when she was in this Yan Wangfu, she was the second richest man, and the first rich man was Princess Cheng.
"I thanked the princess on behalf of my brother." The nurse said.
Lord Anhua said: "It's windy today, and my brother's body is weak, so don't hug it here, go back to the house." ”
Cheng Yuanniang still wanted to show off again, and said with a smile: "The weather is good today, and it's not good for my brother to always be stuffy in the house." ”
"Yes." The Lord of Anwar smiled and was silent.
As the congratulatory gifts from the Lord of Anwar were delivered, the gifts of several other families followed.
The money for the full moon wine was registered and sent as early as when he entered the house. But most of the people in the house are relatives and friends, and when I see the child for the first time today, I have to show how much.
Although they are all relatives of the emperor, there are really not many people who are as rich as the lord of Anwar. The meeting gift was a lot more casual, and there was one that was only given a gold ring.
The nurse borrowed the meeting gift and returned the gift one by one.
Just when the house was lively, the county lord of Anning came with a girl's mother-in-law.
Although they are both county lords, the county lord of Anning and the county lord of Anhe are from Concubine Chen, and they seem to be transparent people in the Yanwang Mansion.
Especially the county lord of Anning, who is only fifteen years old this year, is young and has nothing to do, and he looks even more shy.
The county lord of Anhua glanced at her and said with a smile: "An Ning is here, speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"I've seen Lord Anwar." The county lord of Anhe bowed his head and saluted, his expression was very restrained.
Lord Anhua smiled and said, "Why are you the only one, Anhe." It's rare to add Ding in the house, her aunt, don't you come to say goodbye. ”
"Sister, she ......" An and the county lord paused for a moment and said, "I haven't been good in the past two days, and I didn't come here for fear of getting sick." ”
"What a serious illness, don't even come to see the little nephew." The county lord of Anhua said, turned around and instructed the mother-in-law beside him: "Go and see Anhe, if it's nothing serious, let her come over." Relatives and friends have arrived, and her aunt doesn't show up, which is really unusual. ”
"Yes." The mother-in-law responded and hurried away.
