Chapter 249: Congratulations on Birthday

Time has entered February in a blink of an eye, the weather in early spring is still a little precipitous, but there are already a lot of peach blossoms have bloomed, looking out of the window of Jinqing's bedroom, a few scattered pink flowers trembling and hanging on the branches, just looking at it, it is pitiful.

Jin Qing sat in the bedroom, looking at the peach blossoms outside the window, and then at the invitation card in her hand, she was worried for a while.

The tenth day of the second month is the sixty-sixth birthday of the old lady of Zheng Guogong's family, because the number is very auspicious, the Ye family wanted to hold a birthday banquet, and also sent an invitation to the general's mansion.

If it was an old man from another family who was doing a birthday, Jin Qing would at most ask Mama Lei to go to the treasury to pick up some valuable things and send them over, but after all, this is Zheng Guogong's Mansion, and Mrs. Ye originally had prejudices against her, and if it was not good, it would be even worse.

Jin Qing rummaged in the warehouse for a long time, and picked out a stone grinding size Shoushan stone, who sent it she can't remember clearly, the jade is in excellent color, smooth to the touch, it should be of the highest grade.

Jin Qing called Song Shi and told him to find a jade craftsman, and after the craftsman found it, Jin Qing told him in detail about his idea, the top of the jade seed material was carved into several monkeys, the big monkey carried the small monkey, and the bottom of the seed material was a mountain stone, and a few waves were carved next to it.

The craftsman invited by the Song Dynasty had a gray beard and gray hair, and his hands were dark and rough, and when he heard Jinqing's idea, he immediately smiled, "Madame, this idea is good, Shoushan Fuhai, from generation to generation, this carved out as a birthday gift, it is really suitable." ”

Old man Fang has been in this industry for decades, and he has commented like this, presumably there will be nothing wrong with sending this thing out.

Zhang received the gift very much, a bunch of antique jewelry at a glance in this jade ornament, love to rub the warm Shoushan jade, said with a smile: "This thing is good, the carving is good, the meaning is good, it is really an aura thing" and asked: "Which one sent this?" ”

The mother-in-law on the side hurriedly flipped through the gift list, looked at Zhang's, and whispered: "It was sent by Mrs. Meng from the General's Mansion." ”

Zhang was immediately unhappy, pushed the jade ornaments aside with a straight face, and sneered in disgust: "The country is from the countryside in the end, and the mud legs are not on the table, even if you marry a general, it is not much better, and there is a shabby atmosphere when you send a birthday gift."

Li Qiutang was sitting next to him to sort out the birthday gift and register it, when he heard his mother-in-law say this, he sneered, and glanced at his mother-in-law with the corners of his mouth

Zhang's has always been a watchful and obedient person, how can he not see his daughter-in-law's disdainful eyes, and he became irritable, his niece is still suffering in the countryside Zhuangzi, and his son is a bastard and disobedient, and his daughter-in-law is this dead face, and his heart is more and more unhappy, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai and snorting coldly: "None of them are worry-free things"

Originally, according to Zhang's idea, he had to ask the singing and dancing team of Sifang to perform for two days, hold a big banquet in the house, and hold a few tables of flowing water outside the house, which was explicitly forbidden by Ye Wei'an.

What are you kidding, the emperor is still frugal and filial piety, as a courtier, you show off your wealth at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you are tired of being crooked

In the end, the Zhang family could only hold more than a dozen tables of banquets in the mansion, which made her really depressed.

When Jin Qing and Meng Jun arrived, the banquet had not yet begun, and more than a dozen young people in the courtyard gathered around to play a game of pitching pots.

Meng Jun was itching in his heart, and said a word to Jinqing and passed, at that time Jinqing was talking to Mrs. Wu, looking at Meng Jun and Jinqing's stickiness, Mrs. Wu quipped: "You are really good, go play a pitcher, but a few steps away, I have to ask your lady for instructions." ”

Jin Qing's face turned red when she was teased by *Niang, and she lowered her head and said, "How can there be, godmother, you always laugh at me"

Mrs. Wu clapped her hands and smiled: "It's rare that you, a leather monkey, also blush, it's really a thing to drop a thing, follow along, so that you don't have to complain that my old woman won't let you go." ”

Jin Qing blushed, saluted Mrs. Wu, and walked to the place where the pot was thrown, facing the pot throwing venue was a pavilion, Jin Qing unexpectedly saw Huang Qiuyun also there, sitting in the pavilion, smiling and looking at the group of people opposite the pot throwing pot in full swing, holding a cup and drinking tea shallowly.

The sun is shining in the spring, the lady in the pavilion is beautiful and calm, Jin Qing saw this scene after entering the pavilion, Huang Qiuyun has passed the young girlhood, she is still young after marrying, but at the age of twenty-one or twelve, her complexion is fair and delicate, and in her gestures, the woman's gentleness and charm inadvertently emanated, she just sat there quietly, which was enough to attract people's eyes.

"Jinqing, you're here too? But look at them throwing pots? Huang Qiuyun greeted Jinqing, beckoned to Jinqing with a smile, and affectionately pulled Jinqing to sit beside her.

Looking at the group of people throwing pots, Huang Qiuyun seemed to regret and envy, and said with a smile: "It's better to be a man, you can do whatever you want if you are a man."

Jin Qing remembered Huang Qiuyun who had been evaluated by Mama Lei, she was a famous lady of a family in the capital during the boudoir period, she was a good hand at horseback riding, archery, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, few men could compare with her, a beautiful and beautiful character, and went to Jiangnan after getting married, so she faded out of the aristocratic circle of the capital.

Presumably watching this group of people play, Huang Qiuyun recalled the unrestrained and unrestrained and chic girlhood, and wanted to play, but unfortunately due to the limitations of his identity, he could no longer be as unscrupulous as before.

"Don't talk about that." Huang Qiuyun smiled and turned his head to look at Jin Qing, "Do you have good news?" ”

Jin Qing blinked in surprise, what good news, seeing Huang Qiuyun looking at her stomach, Jin Qing figured out, it turned out that she was asking if she was pregnant, Jin Qing shook her head, smiling on her face and roaring in her heart, Nima, why does everyone have to ask if she is pregnant when they see her?

Besides, pregnancy is not something she can conceive if she wants to. Jin Qing felt uncomfortable, the smile on her face faded, and she turned her head to watch Meng Jun compete with others.

Under the bright and sunny sun, Meng Jun's clean jaw arc was beautiful, and his sturdy body shook off the group of family disciples a few streets. He rarely had a smile when he was outside, but today he was having a good time, and he hit ten shots in a row, and he couldn't help but show a childish smile.

It's so good-looking, and Jin Qing can't help but be happy for him.

Then the person who competed with Meng Jun threw the pot, about Meng Jun's pearl and jade in front, this brocade boy obviously had pressure when he came to throw the pot again, and every time he threw the arrow, he had to brew for a long time, and the first few times he hit it steadily, until the eighth time, the arrow fell outside the pot and lost the game.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and a few sons brought a jar of wine with a hippie smile and put it in front of the boy in brocade, shouting for him to drink it quickly, willing to lose the bet. The young boy looked at the big jar of wine, and his face was sad, this jar was poured down, and he had to go out of the country sideways, he thought that his pitching level was high, but he didn't expect to kick it on the iron plate, and this time he was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Huang Qiuyun shook his head and laughed, "Ah Wei is still too young, he always doesn't know what he can do, so it's better to suffer a loss." He smiled at Jin Qing again: "The one who competed with General Meng was my younger brother, Huang Qiuwei." ”

Losing and losing, the parents of the people looked at it again, and Jin Qing didn't know what to say, so she laughed twice and praised: "You and your brother are both very good-looking." ”

Huang Qiuyun looked at Jin Qing in surprise, suddenly laughed, and patted the back of Jin Qing's hand, "Jin Qing, you are really an interesting person."

Jin Qing made a bitter face, is this a compliment?

Over there, Meng Jun happily patted Huang Qiuwei's shoulder, asked someone to bring in an empty jar again, poured most of the wine into the empty jar, took the jar with a lot of wine, and handed the other jar to Huang Qiuwei.

Probably affected by Meng Jun's emotions, Huang Qiuwei also showed a heroic smile, lifted the wine jar, and touched Meng Jun, the two of them raised their heads at the same time to dry the wine in the jar, and the onlookers applauded again, and the atmosphere was warm.

After drinking the wine, Meng Jun's face was as usual, and when he turned around and saw Jin Qing sitting in the gazebo, he turned around and walked towards the gazebo, and the rest of the people continued to play.

After Meng Jun entered the pavilion, Huang Qiuyun got up and saluted Meng Jun, Meng Jun nodded in return, and smiled at Jin Qing: "Let's go, go and meet the old man." ”

When Jin Qing followed Meng Jun to the door of Old Lady Ye's courtyard, she stopped and hesitated: "Mrs. Ye is also inside, I don't know if she is willing to see me, she is ...... to me The prejudice is quite big. ”

At the beginning, she ran away from marriage and made the Guogong Mansion lose face in the capital, if the Zhang family didn't hate her, it would be weird.

Meng Jun still had some alcohol on his body, and his face was also a little red, so he pulled Jinqing's ears affectionately, and said with a smile: "You are also afraid?" We just went to meet Mrs. Ye, and after the visit, we will go back and not have much to do with them. ”

Jin Qing nodded, did a long day of psychological construction for herself, took a deep breath, and pulled Meng Jun to the room.

Old lady Ye sat on the main seat, Zhang and Ye sat at the bottom, Meng Jun and Jin Qing respectfully saluted Old Lady Ye, Zhang pouted, looked at Jin Qing coldly, from hair to toes, kept picking faults, secretly relieved, fortunately this woman did not marry into her own family, look, there is a shabby air all over the body, and it can't be changed.
