Chapter Eighty-Five: The Birthday Banquet
The day passed in a flash, November 25 was approaching in a blink of an eye, and after the noon of this day, Gao De passed through the courtyard to speak. For a while, Gao De bowed forward and said to Qian'er: "Slave Gao De, please Niu Hulu Fujin Da'an." Hui Zhu answered, said a few words to him, and then asked, "Tonight's feast is ready." Gao De nodded and replied: "Don't worry, as soon as this time comes, you can start the banquet." Saying that, Gao De took a peek at Huizhu's expression again, and said with a smile: "How can I say that this is also your birthday, this troupe really doesn't want it." ”
Huizhu said with a smile: "Father-in-law Lao Gao has bothered, I am not a whole year, it is already a blessing to have my lord and Fujin celebrate me." Gao De praised in his heart, abandoned these words, and complimented: "Niu Hulu Fujin, you are too humble, and it is the blessing of the slaves to be able to do things for you." Huizhu smiled, and asked many things about the banquet before instructing: "Although this is my birthday banquet, but my seat, you still changed it for me, well, just like Sister Li and Sister Nian." Gao De's heart was clear, and he didn't say much, but he answered.
After speaking, Huizhu saw that everything was prepared in an orderly manner, and she was also relieved in her heart, and rewarded Gao De with a piece of gold and precious things, and personally sent him out of the main house. Subsequently, Huizhu ordered Mama Zhang and Xiao Ranzi to go to the main hall of the first courtyard to help with things, and only then did they take a short rest, used some pastries, and asked people to prepare hot water for bathing and preparing for makeup.
The sky is getting darker, Huizhu is wearing a regular robe, sitting in front of the dresser with black lacquer and gold inlaid teeth, holding a mirror in her hand, looking at the oath behind her head, she can see Yin's figure from the big mirror.
Huizhu hurriedly put aside the mirror in her hand, got up and walked to Yin, and shouted: "Master, it's cold outside, Yuehe, you go and make hot tea, and you can warm up your body while drinking." As he spoke, he took the opportunity to change the warm hat for Yin, and untied his cloak to hang it on the mahogany shelf on the side.
Yin sat on the kang, took the gaiwan tea brought by Yuehe, took a sip, glanced at Huizhu sideways and said, "You haven't cleaned it up yet." Huizhu looked down and replied, "No, everything else has been cleaned up, and it's time to change clothes." Yin casually "en" and called "Xiao Luzi".
Xiao Luzi answered the "chirp", and gave Hui a thousand words and said, "Niu Hulu Fujin is a birthday gift specially prepared for you by the master." Huizhu took the rosewood lacquered wooden box handed by Xiao Luzi, and said in her heart that Yin would prepare a gift for her, but she said happily on her face: "Concubine Xie Ye rewarded." Yin lifted up, indifferently watched Huizhu accept the gift box, put it in the small cabinet of the dresser and didn't speak, just took a few sips of hot tea and asked people to carry Hongli to the back room.
Seeing this, Huizhu let them stay on the kang in the inner room, bypassing the screen in the inner room, and wanted to change clothes inside. At this time, the heart was dressed in a fragrant ginger satin embroidered orchid group longevity pattern, and while serving Huizhu to wear, he whispered in a low voice: "Master, the night is very cold, but this time I am wearing that newly made mink silver and red felt cloak." Huizhu nodded in response, and commanded: "You will stay in the courtyard tonight, with you, I can also rest assured of Brother Yuan." Su Xin responded: "Master, rest assured." ”
As she spoke, Huizhu was already dressed, and Su Xin, who was holding a cloak at her elbow, went out of the room, and said with a smile: "The concubine has made me wait for a long time." Yin heard the sound and looked at Huizhu, and in the slightly dim light, it was a smiling young beauty.
I saw a birthday cheongsam wearing a birthday cheongsam embroidered with ginger satin embroidered on the whole body, and embroidered with water birds and bluegrass on the white sleeves. The tassel hanging up to the collar adds a bit of style when it gently blows the cheeks with the wind; And when those black eyes turned wisely, they added a bit of naughty and a bit of naughty...... Retract your gaze. glanced at the Hongli who was playing with Mama Dong on the kang. I feel it in my heart. Huizhu is very similar to Honglidi's eyes. Thinking so. But he straightened up. Speak indifferently. Another: "Yes." Let people take care of the Hongli. Let's go. "Hui Zhu answered. Carefully instructed Mama Dong a few words. And he put on his cloak. Out of the room with Yin. Head to the main hall of the first courtyard.
Come to the first courtyard. Don't wait to walk into the precincts. It can be seen that the inside is already full of lights. Celebrity Screen. A lively scene. The servants of the outer door saw that it was Yin and Huizhu. Hurriedly saluted and asked An: "Please be safe." Please Niu Hulu Fujin Da'an. This Yin was saluted. Just walked into the yard. The Ulanala clan and the others had already stepped forward. Seven or eight wives and concubines. It was squatting and saluting: "Please be safe." Yin nodded in gratitude. The signal responded.
Huizhu secretly looked at the group of women. It's all new. Dressed up in flowers. But each has its own merits. It's funny in my heart. I really don't know whose birthday it is. In the middle of my mind. Huizhu also followed into the main hall. I felt a burst of warmth instantly. I couldn't help but pause. Exhaled. and then continued to walk inside.
The hall has been paved with red felt, and large braziers are placed at all corners. The brazier was burning with a fragrant fragrance. Smell it. It's a relief. Huizhu is so slack. And he saw a mattress on his back
The big red satin backrest leads to the large chair. Impressively sitting in the ground of Rokka. Huizhu just said "huh". I saw Geng under the support of the swift field. Hold up. Bent down slightly and said, "The concubine please be safe." Niu Hulu Fujin Da'an. Failed to go out to meet them. Please also forgive your sins. ”
Yin looked at Geng, who saluted him. I was slightly unhappy. On the surface, it was business as usual. And commanded: "You are more than nine months old. What a salute. Sitting. "Hye-joo has just given birth. It is not possible to go to the maternity premises. I haven't seen Geng for months. See you at this time. couldn't help but be concerned: "Sister Geng's body is sinking." The night is dark. How did you get out? Geng replied gently: "Returning to Niu Hulu Fujin dialect." The concubine knows that this is your birthday. and got Fujin and Li Taiyi's permission. That's when I came to the banquet. ”
Huizhu was about to say a few more words, and the word came outside: "Song Gege has arrived." As soon as these words fell, another person came and said, "Nian Fu has arrived." Huizhu was interrupted again and again, just stopped what she wanted to say, nodded and smiled at Geng's family, and it was over.
After a while, all the wives and concubines in the house arrived, and everyone moved to the warm hall where the banquet was held today. There are four large round tables in the warm room, and next to each large round table are two large copper foot stoves. Because it was Huizhu's birthday, Huizhu took the seat above, and the Wulanala clan was on either side of Yin, and then the two of them were Li and Nian. As for the other concubines, when they saw Yin, they sat down on the throne, and Fang Qiqi took a seat according to their identity.
Nian looked at Huizhu, who was sitting on Yin's left hand, smiling, his heart twitched violently, and his face was pale for a moment, but he used his hand to get tired of his sideburns and hide the past. Li's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but deepen his smile, and glanced at Nian's, as if inadvertently, and said with a smile: "On weekdays, Sister Nian sits next to the master, but now it is suddenly replaced by Sister Niu Hulu, and the concubine looks at it in her eyes, but she feels that there is no change, it is all the same." As he spoke, he lightly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, cocked his orchid fingers with delicately engraved plum blossom armor, and smiled delicately and softly.
Nian looked at Li's smile, his teeth itched with hatred, but he finally calmed down, raised the jade cup lightly, looked at Huizhu and said: "Today is Huizhu's sister's birthday, I will take the lead, first toast my sister, I wish my sister every year today, every year has today." After listening, Yin glanced at Nian's lightly, but was just seen by Nian's, Nian's smile changed instantly, that is, his eyes were full of spring water, and he had a charm.
At this time, the Ulanala clan smiled lightly and said, "Sister Nian can speak, but an ordinary blessing is the most comfortable to listen to. Hehe, when Sister Niu Hulu drinks this cup, all our sisters will wish Sister Niu Hulu again. Song answered: "What Fu Jin said is very true, but Sister Geng is not allowed to drink. Wu said with a smile: "Sister Song is worthy of staying by her grandfather's side for the longest time, that is, she is careful." As he spoke, he beckoned Geng to change the wine.
When Yin heard Wu's words, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Song, and sighed in his heart, it's been twenty years, so he closed his gaze again, his eyes suddenly became cold, it's fast, he can't wait long, but his road is still long, and he will finally become a prince in twenty years.
Geng secretly glanced at Yin and the others who were sitting on the table, and then drooped again, his eyes flashed gloomily, his hand gently stroked her stomach, and when he was about to lift it, he was already smiling, and said to everyone: "Sister Xie Song, Sister Wu care." Wulanala said: "Sister Geng doesn't need to be so polite, you are a good person, always kind to others, this is good." But ......" Li Shi rushed to speak: "I came to pick up Fujin's words, but well, the little brother in Sister Geng's belly can't follow your flexible son, he has to be a lively boy, so that he can become our brave Eight Banners disciples with Hongshi and Hongli." After Li's words, Huizhu had already drunk Nian's toast, and everyone else laughed with Li's words, only Yin secretly frowned and remained silent.
After that, under the words of all parties, Huizhu couldn't push back, so she drank three glasses of wine in a row, then rested, let Yahuan bring hot water and a square towel, and washed with everyone: I washed it, wiped my hands, and began to use the table. For a time, everyone ate and drank, talked and laughed, and maintained a pleasant atmosphere. It wasn't until the second watch was halfway through the day that the banquet came to an end. Then, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the wine dispersed and they went back.
Here, Huizhu drank more because she was a birthday star: yes, at the end of the banquet, she couldn't help but be a little drunk, but her heart was faintly relieved. On this night, no one stumbled, the atmosphere was good, and the guests and hosts should be happy. And during the Geng banquet, there was nothing abnormal, and it was also peaceful. So, Huizhu was relieved, and after Xiao Luzi personally sent Geng away, she also indulged in her drinking a little, leaned on Yuehe's body, and followed Yin back to her yard
(In the next chapter, Sisi and Huizhu are more warm, and Geng's is going to give birth to a baby, ~~~~~~, or asking for pink, but it didn't rise, and the tears ran ~~~(>_
