Chapter 102: September
Zhu Lin's handling of the birthday banquet, Aunt Yun has been moving around a lot with the housewife of the North Courtyard recently because of the invitation to guests the day before her birthday.
Zhu Zhang's heart was very annoyed because of this, and he would not let Zhu Lin's be so proud.
Especially these days, Zhu Lin's family is not in the mansion, and I heard that he went to Wuxian Mountain to be pious.
The Five Immortal Mountains are famous in the Apocalypse, and it is very effective to hear that they are very effective when they go up the mountain and kneel down on the Immortal Mountain. Not to mention, there is a peach tree on the Five Immortals Mountain.
The whole month of the Apocalypse has long been gone, except for the peach fruit on the Five Immortals Mountain, which bears only ten peach fruits a year.
Every year, it is a tribute to the palace, and this time it is a wish that the Lin family personally went to the Five Immortal Mountains in order to worship the Immortal Mountain to ask for peaches for longevity.
Even if she has a heart, the immortal temple of Wuxian Mountain gave her a peach fruit.
Today's people came back, and the news of wishing the Lin family to seek longevity peach spread after a while.
Meiru mentioned this when she learned about Xin'er and served her wife for dinner: "The slave maid heard that the longevity peaches of Wuxian Mountain are all peach fruits that are paid tribute to the palace. The lady of the north third room really has a heart. ”
"Hmph, she has a heart. Even if the longevity peach of the Five Immortal Mountains is a child of the royal family, if it weren't for the fact that he walked back and forth in the palace a lot, it would be difficult to get a reward every year. Even the Zhu family, it was the concubine who was favored back then, so she sent this tribute to the Zhu family. Zhu Zhang didn't have much heart to eat, but now that he heard this, he didn't have much thought, and the white jade chopsticks in his hand rested heavily on the table, and they broke at the moment.
Seeing that Zhu Zhang's mind was heavy, Meiru hurriedly asked someone to remove the meal, and served honey tea tightly, "Madame doesn't have to be angry, when the matter of the ancestor's birthday banquet is over, Madame can go out of the courtyard." ”
"What you said is light, it's not a big deal to think about it behind closed doors, the key depends on whether the ancestor is happy or not."
Zhu Zhang's glanced at Meiru angrily, in the end, it wasn't Nan's mother who was waiting by her side, although this Meiru was a big girl, she was promoted by Nan's mother back then.
But compared to Nan's mother, the difference is not a little bit.
When Meiru heard this, she lowered her head and responded: "What Madam said is that the slave maid is thinking short-sightedly. It's only the first day of September today, and there are still three or four days left on the ancestor's birthday! Presumably, the longer the longevity peach is placed, the easier it is to break? ”
That's to the point.
"That's nature, she wants to use this birthday peach scenery, so I let her lose this scenery." Zhu Zhang said and twisted his eyebrows unconsciously, "You go and call Zhu Jiu, she has always been thoughtful, but let's see what she has in mind." ”
"Slave and maid, go now." Meiru went to Nanxiang Garden.
Zhu Jiu will still be taking a nap, and the pear blossoms who are busy drying preserved fruits in the yard saw that Meiru was coming, and hurriedly put down the busy work in her hand: "Sister Meiru is here, the girl is taking a nap, I'll go and spread the word." ”
The pear blossom went in and passed out quickly, and Meiru went into the house.
"The slave has seen the girl." Meiru bowed slightly.
Chun Xing will serve her own girl, and then go out with a basin of water.
Zhu Jiu woke up for a while, raised his chin: "Sit down." ”
"The slave maid stopped sitting, and the third lady of the North Courtyard begged for a longevity peach, and everyone in the house said how good the longevity peach tasted. This incident also made the mistress's heart very troubled, so she sent the slave maid to invite the girl to come over, so that she could have an idea. ”
Hearing Meiru say this, Zhu Jiu's fingertips tapped on the table for a while, and then chuckled: "When you go back to talk, just say that I am not feeling well today, and I caught crickets with Miss Zhu Qing two days ago and went to heat stroke." ”
Shou Tao's matter, why did she want to get this idea?
It's just that I want to find a convenient person to do things, and even if I want to do this kind of thing, it should be done by Zhang's own person.
Meiru nodded, didn't stay long, and then immediately went back to talk.
Speaking of which, it is now late autumn, and the sun of the first two days is indeed big.
Zhu Jiu shouldn't have gone to Zhu Qing, and he stayed in his own yard very leisurely.
It's just that I have to go once, otherwise how can I shirk it today!
Meiru went back and told the truth, even though Zhu Zhang was angry with her in his heart, he gave up after hearing the maid talk about Zhu Jiu returning to the courtyard two days ago and inviting a doctor.
It's not that there are no people who can do things in the three-room door.
"These days, Aunt Ai often comes to ask for peace, and someone from her mother's house sent bird's nest beforehand, and she remembered that Mrs. has been in a bad mood recently, so she personally stewed bird's nest soup and sent it."
Zhu Zhang was thinking about who to find to do this, and Mei Ru reminded her that she also remembered: "Aunt Ai is more dedicated than others these days." ”
"Presumably, this is also when I see my sincerity in times of tribulation, the girl in Aunt Ai's yard has never entered the main courtyard yet!"
Meiru said without a match, and Zhu Zhang's snorted: "That's it, you go and inform Aunt Ai, so that the girl under her knee will live in the boudoir tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Meiru answered, and went to Aunt Ai's yard again, and today is an errand day.
What is the movement on the side of the main courtyard, Nanxiang Garden is the clearest.
Chunxing came back from outside and told her own girl about the matter, "This Aunt Ai has to bump into herself, but the housemother deliberately added her girl into the boudoir, and Miss Zhumeng will definitely go to our garden to walk around in the near future." ”
"It's good to be able to come and walk around, and add some excitement to Nanxiang Garden." Zhu Jiu unhurriedly flipped through the books in his hand, and twisted a preserved fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
Thinking about it, Zhu Jiu put down the book in his hand, "Yesterday, I heard from Pear Blossom that there are many sour fruits in the warehouse this year, and most of them have to be made into honey fruits, so it is better to let Pear Blossom get more dried fruits." ”
"I want to come to the girl who loves to eat, and the pear blossom craftsmanship is also good, so the slave will explain." After Chun Xing finished speaking, she went out to look for pear blossoms and talk about it.
Where is Zhu Jiu's love to eat, the first time I ate it tasted good.
Now in September, it is about to enter late autumn, and after late autumn comes the cold winter. The sour fruit could have been appetizing, but she wanted to send some to the border so as not to recover the letter and not know how to reply to it, so she couldn't help it.
The fourth day of the ninth month is the birthday of the ancestors.
It's been lively early this morning, yesterday was the banquet day, and Aunt Yun was in charge, generous and atmospheric.
The hospitality was orderly, and even the princess who came today chatted happily with Aunt Yun, and she didn't mention it in front of the ancestors.
Today's birthday, the lords of the various courtyards of the Zhu family, the young masters outside, and the girls who got married are all back. However, this year, the concubine was unwell and could not come back from a long distance, so she sent Princess Ling and Xiao Shizi to come to celebrate her birthday.
