Chapter 60: Birthday
One
,
Qingwei said that the wind is the rain, and she didn't even go back to her house, so she rushed directly to find Xiao Feng's Jiyaju.
Xiao Feng was holding the list handed over by the housekeeper in the kitchen in the morning to change the dishes, "Just now, the eldest girl came over with the bridal maid and said, the new aunt doesn't eat river fish, you hurry up and ask people to go to the aquatic product shop on the street to buy two good yellow huā and change them to braised ones." Chicken broth with nasal mushrooms. ”
"Yes, the slave will do it!" "Mother, mother" Qingwei trotted into the house.
The mother-in-law in charge hadn't left yet, 1 Xiao Feng glanced at Qingwei, turned his head and sent the mother-in-law in charge away, "It's not early, hurry up and get it." ”
The mother-in-law promised to leave.
Xiao Feng's anger was not good at this time, and he was very dissatisfied with Qingqiang in his heart. I think she has always been cautious and thoughtful on weekdays, and she has never made a mistake in such a small thing as buying a table. This time, it was obviously deliberate by Qingqiang's girl, not to mention it earlier, but to wait until Kuaikaixi specially sent someone over to say that Meng Changan didn't like Jiangyu very much, and asked her to help change one or two. If she doesn't change it, maybe Qingqiang will talk to the old man about her own behind her back, and the old man attaches great importance to Meng Changan, and he will count his own wrong. In the end, she could only follow her wishes and quickly changed the soup and steamed dumplings prepared earlier.
She was not happy, but when she looked up and saw Qingwei with her hair a little messy, she suddenly became a little angry, and said sharply: "Look at how old you are, why are you still so unstable?" You should be a bit of a lady! I handed over the bundle and asked you to learn etiquette from Mr. Bai, not for you to run around the house all day long. Qingwei saw that Xiao Feng was angry, her mouth curled, and she looked at her toes in a low way and pretended to be well-behaved, "My daughter knows that she is wrong." Xiao Feng was just about to continue training her, and Shangguan Xu's nurse led Shangguan Xu in. When Xiao Feng saw his son coming, his face softened a lot, and he looked at Shangguan Xu with a smile and saluted her in a similar manner, "Good, Brother Xu is really sensible!" Qingwei breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, her younger brother came, otherwise she would have to listen to her mother's chatter endlessly.
Xiao Feng picked up Shangguan Xu and sat on the side of the kang, and asked him what he ate this morning and what he played, and Shangguan Xu answered one by one in a milky voice. 1 Xiao Feng listened to Shangguan Xu's answer in an orderly manner, and the smile on his face was even worse, and this happiness was even praised by Shangguan Xu's nurse, and she also received a reward of a chain of silver.
Qingwei saw that Xiao Feng didn't have time to take care of her, so she found a chair and sat down, looking at Xiao Feng and Shangguan Xu's funny eyes... A trace of envy, a trace of gloom.
After Xiao Feng finished talking to his son and explained to the nurse in detail, he let his son leave and turned his head to look at Qingwei. Qingwei immediately sat up straight, clasped her hands and put them upright, soothed her face, and asked, "What are you looking for me for?" ”
Qingwei hesitated, afraid that Xiao Feng would think that she was too close to Qing Dai, so she only said: "Mother, the eldest sister is married now, and the Spring Courtyard is empty." The yard is big over there, and my daughter has always liked it, can I move over there to live? Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment and then thought of another matter, the old lady said that after Qingqiang got married, she would reassign the yard.
The Spring Courtyard is adjacent to the Wuju House, but it is larger than the Wuju House, and the house is also bright. Qingqiangfu fù wants to go back to the province, naturally he can't go back to live, and the yard is empty, and it's not impossible for Qingwei to want to live. It's just that there is still Qinglian in Wuju, let her and Qingdai squeeze in Wuju, the old lady is not satisfied, and the Liu family will also find fault After all, as soon as Qingqiang leaves, Qinglian is the next girl who will be out of the cabinet, and the master will definitely be more lenient with her.
If Qingdai and Qingwei are allowed to live, they are about the same age, and they are close on weekdays. Qingdai's girl is a silent and non-verbal person, and it is safer to live with Qingwei. What's more, the old lady has been with the three girls for the past few years, and she will be somewhat partial to that girl. The old lady's family background is thick, and there are two or three things that accompany Qingqiang this time, which are still antiques from two or three hundred years ago. If Qingwei follows Qingdai's side, she can also get close to the old lady, which is not a good thing.
Xiao Feng's mind turned twice, "The courtyard of Spring Courtyard is big, and you are the youngest girl, so I have allocated such a large yard to you, so that outsiders can say that my mother is eccentric." When your grandmother came back, she said that when your eldest sister was out of the cabinet, she would let your third sister move out. You are also close to your third sister on weekdays, and my mother sees that it is better for you to live with your third sister in the Spring Courtyard, so that you don't have a companion to live alone, and then you don't have to chew your tongue in the house. ”
Qingwei was in Qingwei's arms, how could Qingwei disagree, and nodded at the moment, "My daughter listens to my mother, I just like that yard, and it doesn't hurt to share it with others, anyway, the yard is big." With Xiao Feng's promise, Qingwei was satisfied, and she bowed and retreated.
The next day, 1 Xiao Feng went to Rongxi Hall and mentioned the matter to the old lady. The old lady didn't look for any more excuses to keep Qingdai, so she said that she would let Qingdai and Qingwei move in when it was warm in spring.
The thirtieth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve. The whole family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and kept the New Year at Rongxi Hall. On the first day of the new year, Shangguan Hong led a family of wives and children, worshiped heaven and earth, comforted the ancestors, and then went to the carrier gate to worship the long live card with the prince, the prince and the hundred officials. In the days that followed, in addition to visiting friends, he attended banquets in various prefectures. Because there is a saying in the capital that "hún is released, that is, the teenagers will go out to travel and compete in the first day of the new year, compete in the dance, play and fight cards, no matter day or night, and then attack the book "collect hún" after the eighteenth light is collected.
The old lady said that she would follow the customs of the country, so Shangguan Hong gave Shangguan Xi and Shangguan Jie a holiday, and followed the little friends she met after entering Beijing, which made Qingdai and her envy for a while.
The old lady looked at the appearance of her three granddaughters, and chuckled: "Fifteen just happened to be three girls, and at noon they set up wine at home, invite a few little sisters to play well, and let you run to watch the lanterns at night." ”
"Okay!" Qingwei was the first to respond, "Third sister, I want to invite Tinglan to come, she has always said that she wants to come to our house to sit." ”
Qinglian didn't speak and smiled and agreed, but looking at Qingdai with jealousy and envy, but to be a birthday, not to have a good life, not to have a whole birthday, and to invite people from outside to come, it was really a scene for her.
Qingdai doesn't know the twists and turns in Qinglian's heart, she is happy in her heart at this time, every time her birthday is in the New Year, only her grandmother has accompanied her to do her birthday in recent years, it is rare to have more people to celebrate her, how many years have she not celebrated her birthday with others......
In the evening, Shangguan Hong came back drunk. 1 After Xiao Feng washed up, he pulled him to talk on the kang, and by the way, he mentioned that the old lady was going to give birth to Qing Dai on the fifteenth day.
Xiao Feng's slender fingers tapped on Shangguan Hong's head like a dance, "We only returned to Beijing this year, and we have Qingqiang's marriage, and there will be Brother Xi'er's marriage in the future." The house is busy and chaotic, and the mother is still going to give birth to the three girls at this juncture."
Shangguan Hong's head rested on Xiao Feng's tuǐ, enjoying the massage service of his little wife, the headache after drinking was relieved a little, and he let out a light "um" on his mouth, as if he was responding and groaning comfortably.
Shangguan Hong closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, 1 Xiao Feng said again: "Hey, it's not that I said, my mother is still eccentric, and the three girls don't want to live their own lives, nor do they come to Jilu, Sister Lian and Sister Dai have children in previous years, but the juniors sit down and get together together, where do you want to invite outsiders to come"
"The three girls want to have a treat, the left is just the two sisters of the Wuping Hou Mansion and the girls of the Qi family, they are all girls who grew up in the north, you let the cook prepare some delicate Jiangnan side dishes, begging for freshness, it's not rude." Shangguan Hong didn't open his eyes again, didn't see Xiao Feng's face flashing with resentment, and continued, "The third girl hasn't even seen her own mother's face, and she is too quiet on weekdays, and her mother feels sorry for her, so you just do what your mother wants, don't make your mother unhappy." ”
Shangguan Hong was dazed, and two faces seemed to flash in front of him, one was a woman's gorgeous and moving face, and a girl with similar facial features, how could a person who was as fierce as fire give birth to such a quiet child? Is it true that things are reversed? However, it is good to have a xìng child like Qing Dai, and the girl is still well-behaved and gentle, and in the future, she can find a husband and a child to give birth to less rights and wrongs.
"The concubine wants to set this precedent today, and then Sister Lian and Sister Wei's birthdays will have to do the same, otherwise it will be unfair, and Aunt Liu's side will definitely be unhappy."
"Let's get over it, it's just a little thing." Shangguan Hong moved his neck and changed his position to pillow it, "Besides, Hanyan is not a stingy person." Xiao Feng snorted lowly, and his subordinates made a lot of effort, hurting Shangguan Hong. Shangguan Hong's nose opened, and he looked at Xiao Feng's resentful apricot eyes, "What's the matter?" ”
"Thou shalt promise me not to mention her in my court.
Shangguan Hong couldn't cry or laugh, her little wife just loved to eat flying vinegar too much, frowned and said: "It's not that you mentioned it, I'll follow"
Xiao Feng's accepted it when he saw it, "Children are still careful of xìng, and it is not good to develop their arrogant xìngzi." This year, Sister Dai has made a start, and the children have had a good time, and from next year onwards, we will still do it according to our old routine in Qingyang. ”
Shangguan Hong felt reasonable, and nodded, "Hmm!" ”
The couple gossiped for a while, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
On the tenth day of the first month, Qing Dai handed over the post to Yinhong early in the morning and asked her to hand it over to the people sent by Xiao Feng's family to send it out.
After breakfast, Qingwei came.
"Third sister, is the post down?" It has been handed over to my mother to send it out. ”
Qingwei asked who Qing Dai had invited, and Qing Dai said, "Qi Zhen, Tingjia, Tinglan, and Miss Zhang Shi." ”
"Miss Zhang Shi?" Qingwei thought of the classmate who had no sense of existence, and wondered, "I look at Xuan, her stuffy gourd, she can't say a word with three sticks, can she come?" ”
"Ji Chun, I won't invite." It is rare for the three sisters to reach an agreement once, but they all hate Ji Chun in their attitude. Looking at Qingwei who nodded violently, Qingdai smiled and said, "Although Miss Zhang Shi doesn't like words, she looks like a quiet and polite person. Anyway, I have been classmates together for two months, and I am much more familiar than others. So I'm still going to make this post,
As for whether to come or not, that's her business. ”
Although Qingdai didn't think that Zhang Shi's little girl would come to this small party, but by the fifteenth, the people who posted her post went to Shangguan's Mansion to congratulate her on her birthday, and even the "stuffy gourd" Zhang Shi girl also came to appreciate her face. @。
