67 Birthday Feast
Lu Lijin was not convinced, and said, "Auntie, don't you think I'm motivated? When girls are at home, isn't this just to learn? ”
Aunt Zhao smiled and took her daughter's hand and said comfortingly:
"I know what you mean, although you are still young, but girls will eventually get married, you are afraid that you will marry low in the future, right?"
Lu Lijin listened with a hot face, she is only thirteen now, and it seems that it is not good to consider getting married.
But if she says that she will not marry for the rest of her life, it is not very realistic.
Lu Lijin is nothing, when the time comes, Lu Yan will raise her for the rest of her life, and the world will drown her by spitting on Xingzi.
Not to mention that she doesn't have brothers of the same mother, even if there is, all of these men have married daughters-in-law and forgotten their mothers, and the sisters are not sure which corner to throw them into.
Lu Lijin said: "What's wrong with this? ”
Aunt Zhao patted Lu Lijin's forehead again and said with a smile:
"So you're stupid. Think about it, now we have embroidery girls at home, and it's useless for you to learn this. According to the current situation, your father doesn't have any great skills, you are a concubine, and you will not marry into a market family in the future, so how can you be used? ”
Lu Lijin was not convinced, and said, "What if." ”
Aunt Zhao poked Lu Lijin and said, "Say you're a nerd, you're really stupid." What in case? ”
Grabbing Lu Lijin's hand, Aunt Zhao pointed to the finger that had been pierced with several needles, and said angrily:
"I've only heard of people preparing for a prosperous life early, but I haven't heard of anyone preparing for sin early, isn't this stupid? Learning that thing is the same for beginners, so why not wait for the time to learn? If you can't use it for a lifetime, won't you suffer in vain now? ”
Lu Lijin was scolded by Aunt Zhao for being bloody, and her face was sneered.
Fortunately, at this time, Ke Xin came over with snacks and tea, which can be regarded as saving Lu Lijin's life.
Lu Lijin hurriedly took the initiative to take the dim sum and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, my aunt is good here, such a good dim sum, I want to eat it just by looking at it." ”
Aunt Zhao said angrily: "Don't make it as if you haven't eaten it, Auntie didn't have anything to do with you first?" ”
The girl in the house retreated very familiarly, leaving the two to talk.
Lu Lijin pinched a piece of heart to taste, hehe smiled and changed the topic and said:
"Does my aunt know what the eldest lady is planning? Looking at the eldest lady's silence recently, and not mentioning the eldest sister's concubine, you really don't have to wait until June, right? ”
Panshu's matter, in fact, can't be hidden from Aunt Zhao.
It's just that in Aunt Zhao's eyes, she doesn't know if it's none of her business.
Hearing Lu Lijin ask, Aunt Zhao smiled and said:
"How is this possible, it's just that I'm afraid of the person in our room, so I won't mention it. If I'm not mistaken, the eldest lady has been busy lately, and she doesn't speak, she is preparing for your grandmother's birthday. ”
Fortunately, Lu Lijin didn't drink tea, otherwise she would have to spray it, and asked in surprise:
"Isn't the old lady's birthday June?"
Aunt Zhao shook her head and said:
"Few people in our house know, in fact, the old lady was born in May, and I don't know exactly what day. It is estimated that it is the first day, because May is an evil month, and the old lady wants to avoid the moon, and she doesn't want to celebrate her birthday in advance, for fear that Lord Yama will remember her Shoulu wrong, so it is all wrong in the future. ”
Lu Lijin understands this.
Knowing that everyone in the world is like this, it is not difficult to understand whether they are afraid of death.
Aunt Zhao sighed and said: "The eldest lady's arrangement is probably to give us an illusion that the eldest lady's meeting will be extended to June, and the old lady's birthday banquet will be reversed." ”
Sighing, Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "According to me, the old lady has worked hard for the eldest girl, and she is not afraid of being checked by the one below who checked her birthday, and then remembered it in advance, but it will be a loss." ”
For Aunt Zhao's obvious disdain, Lu Lijin couldn't help laughing.
If the one under the Lord is really so powerful, where can he be deceived by mortals?
In fact, it is just the self-deception of mortals, and they want to have peace of mind.
Sure enough, as Aunt Zhao expected, early the next morning, Lu Lijin and the Yang family went to say good morning to Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu said in front of everyone:
"In previous years, my birthday was in June, but if I do two big things a month, it's not good. Now Beijing doesn't stop, but it's a serious matter to hold a birthday party, so I decided to schedule my birthday banquet this month. ”
At this time, Lu Lijin did not have the right to speak, sitting beside Yang's side, and did not make a sound.
The banquet is also a matter of the inner court, and the men will not have any opinions.
Pingyang Hou was the leader, and the third, fifth, and sixth masters all stood up and said, "It's up to the old lady." ”
Instead, Yang asked, "I don't know what day the old lady decided to arrange?" ”
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Three days later, it just so happens that everything is ready-made, we don't have to make a big deal, we will bring the two aunts and grandmothers back, so we will invite serious relatives, at home, behind closed doors for a day." ”
The eldest lady didn't say anything, her face was calm.
Yang was obviously stunned, and tried to say, "Is time running out?" ”
Old Madam Lu raised her eyes, glanced at Yang with deep meaning, lowered her eyelids again, and said lightly:
"The things are ready-made, and the lady of the National People's Congress also invited them a few days ago, what's the matter? Could it be that the third lady had something to do that day? If that's the case, it doesn't matter if you don't attend, anyway, this is Pingyang Hou's Mansion, and there is just Mrs. Pingyang Hou. ”
Yang choked and hurriedly explained: "How is this possible, even if there is a big matter, it is not as important as the old lady's birthday banquet." ”
I didn't dare to say anything else, for fear of being seen by Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu.
Then I thought that if Lu Yujin's harmony was changed to June, it would be just right to hold a birthday banquet in April.
Otherwise, Pan Shu's stomach really can't wait.
On the day of the old lady's birthday banquet, it was here in the blink of an eye.
Unexpectedly, the first to come to celebrate his birthday was Yang Shizhong's family.
Yang Shizhong naturally didn't come, but his eldest son's family, and his second son's family all came except for Du Quyi.
All of them are juniors, except for the birthday gift, it is to kowtow to Mrs. Lu.
Master Yang explained: "Originally, my mother was also coming, and I packed all the things I went out yesterday, but I didn't check it for a while at night, and I got up in the morning with a fever, so I couldn't come." ”
Mrs. Lu was like a mirror in her heart, and she didn't break it down, and asked with a worried face:
"In that case, why are you all here, how is the old sister-in-law's health? Can you ask for a doctor? ”
Master Yang hurriedly smiled and said: "Old Mrs. Xie asked, I invited the imperial doctor early in the morning, and the pulse diagnosis said that it was not a big deal, but it was not suitable to go out, but there was no need for the little nephew and others to serve the decoction." ”
After a while of greetings, the men went to the south hall.
