Chapter 22: My Grandmother's Birthday
Sitting next to her was her sister-in-law, Wu, who pulled the sleeve of the Mu family and whispered: "Bear with it, these are all big mouths." ”
Although Mu Shi was unhappy, he also knew that he couldn't have a seizure, so he patted her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry." ”
Wu Shi saw that he was really okay and put his mind at ease, when it was rumored that Shen Ai was sick and was discussed in private in the early years, Mu was furious in front of everyone, but in the end she was on the right side, and now it was just a few old women gossiping, and when it came to Shen Ai, she was afraid that she couldn't help it.
Chatting about the topic of a few words, Wu said: "In a few days, it will be my mother's birthday banquet, and my father and mother have been talking about it in the house for a long time since I saw Ai'er, so you can bring it over and let the second elder take a look." ”
"Okay, is my father and mother okay?"
"Okay, don't worry."
Wu knew that since Shen Ai was sick, her sister-in-law had been taking care of her little sister-in-law, and when she got sick, she only said hello at the palace banquet, and she didn't go back to her parents' house until now.
Mu Shi printed the tears in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, she hadn't seen her father and mother for a long time.
Early in the morning, Shen Ai was pulled out of the soft and warm quilt by Mu's family, and took a sip on Mu's beautiful face in a daze, and said, "Mother, morning." ”
"Morning, wake up and get dressed, today we are going to see my grandfather and grandmother." Mu asked Shen Er Ye to hold her, and he brought the new clothes that he had put away last night for Shen Ai to wear.
Shen Ai chirped two more mouthfuls on Shen Erye's handsome face before waking up quietly, and the first thing he saw when he woke up every day was a stunning beauty and a handsome guy, ah! The morning was wonderful.
When he woke up, Shen Ai put on his clothes.
Today I am wearing a light red dress, and there are still two small wrinkles on my head, but I am wearing not a silver bell butterfly hairpin but a peony tassel hosta, and the earrings are also a red half-opened peony, and the whole person looks like a small red flower.
The Mu family was also dressed up quite beautifully, and there was a little powder on their faces, and Shen Erye and Shen Qingfeng did not go to the academy today, but asked for leave to go to their father-in-law's house for a banquet.
The birthday gift was prepared a month earlier, and since it was not a whole birthday, only the married daughters and a few friends who were close to the past were invited.
Mu Shangshu has three daughters and two sons, the eldest daughter is the princess of the county, the second daughter is the Mu family, the younger daughter is the concubine in the palace, the eldest son and the third son are concubines, the second son is the concubine, except for the third son is an idler, the other two were sent to Jiangnan to take office, leaving only the wife and children to serve the two elders in the house.
When Shen Ai's family arrived at Mufu, they happened to meet the car of the palace, and the princess of the county saw that it was her own sister in the carriage of Mufu, so she waited in place without a frame, and she didn't see her own sister Mu Shi for a long time and ran towards her as soon as she got out of the car.
The princess of the county is sixty percent similar to the Mu family, but the Mu family is more charming than her, and the county princess is more restrained than the Mu family, and at first glance she is a person who is scheming and skillful than the Mu family.
The princess of the county looked at her own sister who she hadn't seen for a long time and was still the same as when she was not married, and she was happy that she was doing well, but she still scolded her, and said: "The mother of the two children is still so frizzy. ”
Mu just held her hand and smiled at her sister like a girl's family, and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I don't see my sister at the banquet on weekdays." ”
"There are a lot of things in the palace, and you know that I don't love those."
Second Master Shen hugged Shen Ai's side and followed Shen Qingfeng to greet the princess of the county, and the two of them exchanged a few words before turning their gaze to the two small ones.
Shen Qingfeng and Shen Ai, who fell to the ground, greeted her in a proper manner.
The princess touched Shen Qingfeng's head and said, "Your cousin and the prince are inside, go and play with him." ”
Shen Qingfeng and Zhao Kuo, the prince of the county, were in Yunshan Academy, and the two also had a good time because of their in-laws.
Shen Ai looked at this amiable princess of the county pinching her little fat face, and after thinking about it in her mind, she still couldn't find any clues about this person, and finally had to give up, and called out sweetly with a smile: "Auntie." ”
The princess of the county was cute, took off the jade bracelet in her hand and gave it to the grandmother who was waiting on the side, stretched out her hand to hug Shen Ai, and said, "Why is our Ai'er so cute." ”
Mu Shi smiled: "Sister, don't be tired, this little girl is heavy." ”
"Love is not heavy." Shen Ai protested in the arms of the princess of the county
Mu Shi said disgustedly: "Yes, you are not heavy, you are fat." ”
"I'm not fat."
"You're not fat, why is your face so fleshy."
"It's not that you have grown taller."
"Then what do you say about the little chubby hand like the lotus root?"
Shen Ai pouted and complained: "My mother is bad again." ”
The princess of the county smiled: "Our Ai'er is not fat, ignore her, let's go in and eat delicious." ”
"Well, my aunt is the best."
Mu Shi followed behind the two and sneered with a smile: "Xiao has no conscience. ”
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I met an old woman, and the princess said, "Grandma Gui." ”
Mama Gui saw that their faces were wrinkled into chrysanthemums with smiles, and she asked An and said, "The old lady is in a hurry to wait for the little lady, so let the old slave come out and take a look." ”
The princess of the county and the Mu family smiled at each other, and said, "My mother is just in a hurry, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return after entering the mansion." ”
Old Madam Mu was not so anxious originally, but when she saw that Second Master Shen and her grandson had come to ask for peace, she waited and waited until she saw her good granddaughter, so she asked Mama Gui to come out and take a look.
After being hugged by the princess of the county for a while, Shen Ai also had self-knowledge, so he asked to go by himself, and followed Mama Gui across the corridor to the main house, and there were bursts of laughter inside.
When Shen Ai was led in by the princess of the county and the Mu family, an old lady pounced on her and picked her up.
Shen Ai was shocked, and when he saw that it was his grandmother, he relieved his mind, and said to Mrs. Mu with a smile: "Grandmother." ”
"Oh, my good grandson, my grandmother has finally seen you."
Old Madam Mu held her to sit on the main seat, and on one side sat Mu Shangshu with a goatee, with a majestic face.
After Mrs. Mu sat down, Shen Ai dared to move her buttocks, and said softly: "Ai'er hasn't said hello to her grandfather and grandmother yet." ”
"Okay, good, please, please."
Old Madam Mu let go of her with a smile, Shen Ai took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed solemnly, and said, "Ai'er greets my grandfather and grandmother, and wishes my grandmother happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
As he spoke, he presented a fist-sized night pearl that he had been holding in his hand with both hands, and offered the treasure and said: "This is Ai'er's birthday gift to her grandmother, and my father and mother don't know it." ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and winked at Old Madam Mu.
Mu Shangshu's thousand-year-old face rarely smiled, and Mrs. Mu happily took the night pearl in her hand, hugged her into her arms by the way, and said, "Grandmother likes it very much." ”
Mu smiled and asked the second elder to say goodbye, and said: "When I went out in the morning, this girl rummaged through the cabinets for a while, and thought she was going out to play, but she didn't expect it to be a birthday gift secretly prepared." ”
Old Madam Mu pinched her little chubby face, hugged her and chatted with the Mu family and the princess of the county, and Mu Shangshu took the prince of the county and Shen Erye to the study, and Shen Qingfeng and Zhao Kuo were playing on the side.
