Chapter 20 (middle) Huizi's dedication to life is beginning to take shape
Since the Ye family has been sent, the next one in order is the second daughter Ye Mengyan.
Ye Mengyan slowly got up and bowed to Ye's father and said.
"My daughter's gift has been prepared for a long time, and it must be put to the end."
Her tone was arrogant, although she was a little willful, but she matched her beautiful face. But it's a little more coquettish. Father Ye naturally didn't care about his daughter's small request, and Zhao and Ye Menghuai wouldn't embarrass her.
On the contrary, the fourth prince Ling Wang, who had been sitting next to Ye Menghuai, couldn't help but look up when he heard the delicate voice. looks quite similar to her eldest brother Ye Menghuai, and is naturally a beautiful woman. The tone of the voice has the temperament of a little daughter, but it is also cute. It's just that... Compared to the third young lady he saw, there was always something missing. But this is Menghuai's sister-in-law, the daughter of the Ye family.
Ye Menghuai saw that King Ling noticed his sister and observed his expression carefully. Although it was not as enthusiastic as the last time I saw Ye Menghan, it was quite satisfying to watch. He thought for a moment, and then made up his mind.
Ye Menghan naturally didn't know what kind of demon her second sister was going to make, but she didn't care about the order of this gift. Therefore, the second child of the Ye family to present the gift became Ye Menghan.
She took the brocade box in Qiao'er's hand and walked towards Father Ye step by step.
The guests present looked at her hand and saw that it was also a brocade box, and they were all a little interested. It's just that this brocade box is much bigger than that Ye Menghuai, and it looks very well-behaved. The solid color style of Qingyishui does not even have the pattern embroidery of brocade. It's hard to guess what's inside.
In previous years, Ye Menghan sent some blessing characters written by himself and birthday pictures drawn. Although they are all handwritten, they are real objects. But firstly, she is not a famous master, and secondly, her writing and ink are not good. So although Father Ye was moved, he didn't particularly look forward to it.
I thought that she should be the same as usual this time, and she probably sent a pair of calligraphy and paintings, but she didn't expect to bring a brocade box. Looking at the size of the brocade box, it doesn't look like it can hold any calligraphy and paintings. So, I was a little curious about this gift.
The Zhao family, who was sitting next to him, had a calm face. The daughter is gradually growing up, and in another year, she will reach the age when she should talk about her relatives and matchmakers. She tried her best to hold this birthday banquet, and she also wanted to help her daughter make a good name by taking advantage of Ye's father still in the position of supervising the imperial history. This is what asked Ye Mengxi to put her "birthday gift" at the end.
How do you know that this Ye Menghan seems to be enchanted recently? Always do these gestures to annoy her. Fortunately, when she looked at it from a distance, the box was not luxurious. The whole Ye Mansion is controlled by her, and she knows best how much silver a concubine can have in a month. She couldn't figure out any tricks.
Ye didn't like it in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be a peaceful mother, and only watched the brocade box being brought to Ye's father. A simple brocade box was opened, revealing a rather delicate lacquer box inside.
It was also the first time for Father Ye to see his little daughter prepare so hard. I couldn't help but be more curious about the gifts in the lacquer box.
Ye Menghan opened the lacquer box with his own hands and took out the birthday hat inside. The rich and noble children carved with pink faces held the word Fu and smiled around the Shou Tao in the middle.
Such a vivid birthday pattern, even the eyebrows and eyes of the characters are embroidered, it can be said that it is not a good work. If it takes time to carve the seal by hand, then these hundred or so boys have more time to prepare.
Father Ye originally didn't expect this birthday gift, he was just curious. But when I saw this hat, I felt a little happy. Tianxing Dynasty has always valued filial piety, and Han'er took the trouble to embroider this birthday hat, isn't it a great filial piety. I didn't see that his colleagues here had envious glances, and there was Han'er's hat. Who else can not praise their Ye family's good family style.
felt that he had benefited and had face. looked at Ye Menghan again, and felt a little proud of this little daughter that he had never experienced in the past.
In the past, I also felt that she was still young, and even if she was a little delicate, she didn't have the mind of a child. Today is really impressive. The girl standing in front of her under careful scrutiny is faintly becoming more and more marked. This reminded him of the child's biological mother, and it was such ingenuity that often made him smile. Over the years, however, this feeling has become less and less.
Zhao saw that the old man was holding the hat and did not speak, and his eyes seemed to have drifted far away, as if he was remembering something. I secretly said that it was not good in my heart.
He hurriedly threw the hat back into the lacquer box and put it on again. Tell the housekeeper Xiangrong to take the box. Seeing that the longevity had been taken away, he bowed down and said to Father Ye
"Han'er's hat is really carefully made, I see that the old man looks at it so intently, I know that I like it very much. It's just that this kind of texture of the hat can't help but fiddle, if the guests are noisy for a while and accidentally touch it, the master and I will be distressed. So let Xiangrong accept it first, and then the lord will take a closer look at it later. ”
Father Ye was busy reminiscing about his youth, and Zhao Ying only listened to half of what he said. By the time he came back to his senses, his hat had been taken away. In front of so many people, he was embarrassed to call someone again and take his hat back. Since it is not systematic, it is left to its own devices.
Ye Menghan saw that the things he had just sent were accepted by his mother Zhao, but he was not angry in his heart. Seeing that the effect he wanted had been achieved, he said two more auspicious words to Father Ye to celebrate his birthday, and then stepped down to his seat.
Many people looked at her along the way, and their eyes were much hotter than when they came up just now.
Wang Jianze was also looking at her, and he was even more interested in this woman. The person who was already quite appetizing to her was such virtuous and filial. In fact, if he likes to give her a side concubine seat, it is not impossible for him to ask his father in person.
Ye Menghuai frowned, secretly blaming his sister for not bothering to prepare a gift. Others may not know what she wants to offer today, but he, as the eldest brother, is clear.
These bells and whistles are okay on weekdays. On such a serious occasion today, with Ye Menghan Zhuyu in front of him, I am afraid that my sister will fall on her heels.
Zhao saw his son frowning, obviously the current situation was not optimistic. I also have some complaints about myself in my heart. Why didn't I seize the opportunity that day, if I had gotten rid of this girl earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about her anymore now.
I didn't expect that only one birthday hat would make Ye's father happy like this, she had never seen the world like this, she really married the wrong person.
But now is not the time to think about this, it is better to let my daughter come up quickly and squeeze the limelight of this little hoof down.
She glanced at Ye Mengyan on the main seat, and Ye Mengyan understood. Then he stood up and walked to the front, and said to Father Ye
"My father likes the gift of my third sister, but he also wants to see my birthday gift, otherwise my daughter will be sad."
Ye Cha thinks that he has always treated his children equally, but if he really wants to talk about it, he is still the most partial to Ye Mengxi. Even if there is the help of Zhao and Ye Menghuai, it is probably because Ye Mengyan is too coquettish.
She obviously sounded like she was complaining, but she smiled coquettishly and was respectful, but few people thought that she was really jealous of Ye Menghan. I mostly thought that this Ye girl was licking the calf very much, and she was playing a child's role to her father.
Everyone laughed, and colleagues who had good things to say also joked to Father Ye.
"It's good to have more children, vying for your birthday. Where like me, there is only one vulgar and unbearable woman in the house. ”
This adult has been married for many years but has no children under his knees, and there is only one very strong wife in the family. These words came out of his mouth, four points of joke, and six points of real envy.
In this way, Father Ye was naturally listened to very much, and the smile on his face was even worse, and he was even more looking forward to the birthday gift specially prepared by the second daughter. Grandma is not bad every year, but this year even Han'er has put her heart into it, it seems that his Ye family's family style is indeed admire Zhou Zheng.
Seeing that Father Ye was ready, Ye Mengyan nodded to her mother. Zhao immediately called Xiangrong over and instructed him to go down. After a while, the sound of silk and bamboo played in the main hall.
Ye Mengyan shrugged her shoulders lightly, letting the blouse embroidered with a hundred birds slide down, revealing the dance clothes inside. It is still a red color, but the embroidery on it has been replaced by a hundred birds and a pattern of the three gods of Fu Lu Shou.
The dress was worn from head to toe, with only a goose-yellow belt tied around the waist. It is still embroidered, embroidered with longevity peach and auspicious clouds. Although the format is simple, it is very easy to outline a woman's good figure.
She moved and jumped with the sound of dance and music, which was both elegant and beautiful, and very ornamental. It's just that Father Ye's face is not very good-looking.
If he said that he was really more proud of his birthday this time than any other year. Ye Menghuai, the eldest son of the grandson, presented a seal, which not only made him a literati, but also showed that their Ye family was honest and honest. In front of so many colleagues, it also enhances his official reputation.
Although the youngest daughter Ye Menghan is only a daughter's family, she is filial piety first, and she can put so much effort into making a birthday hat, which shows that she is extremely filial piety.
The birthday gifts offered by these two sons immediately put him in a high position of emphasizing filial piety and maintaining integrity. It was in front of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and many colleagues. He was extremely satisfied, and even felt that he had been too careful before, and it was actually okay to listen to Zhao's words and hold this birthday banquet.
But Ye Mengyan's dance made him lose his dignity. Not only is this public undressing not in order, but even this so-called birthday gift is too inconsistent with his wishes.
The meaning of the birthday dance is naturally very good, but a few of their official eunuchs are dancing in person! Isn't that any different from that play?
Ye's father's dissatisfaction was naturally seen by the Zhao family, and she had also thought about whether it was appropriate for her daughter to dance to celebrate her birthday. But the son had already revealed his mouth to her, saying that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince might come to congratulate Ye's father on his birthday.
Who would have thought that today would indeed come! Isn't this heaven helping her daughter?
Her daughter's dance was not for Father Ye, but for His Royal Highness King Ling, who was sitting next to her son. As for Father Ye, he just coaxed him well afterwards.
This Ye family has a daughter who has just grown up, and the daughter who is alluring to the country and the city is naturally her child's dream. It can't be Ye Menghan's turn to be that little hoof!
