Chapter 665: Lively (Part II)
After August 15, people who had friendships with the Xu family began to send congratulations. The front of the Xu Mansion, which has always been a little deserted, began to be lively.
Mrs. Tai was not a director two years ago, although Xu Sizhen's wedding date is just around the corner, the old man has eleven mothers to preside over the feed, rest assured, and don't ask about the wedding, still the same as before, salute the Buddha, or talk to Du's mother and the second lady to gossip, tease the grandchildren, and go to taste the clothes that the Xu family made for the Jiang family, and the Jiang family sent the wedding gift list to come over, and the days are leisurely and festive. Eleven Niang is not socializing this today, tomorrow is socializing that, although there are five ladies on the side to help, but there is rarely a leisure time, let alone Xu Lingyi. Eleven Niang said with a smile to Amber in private: "Fortunately, Brother Zhen is the son of the world, and the matters of marriage must be acted in accordance with the etiquette set by the Ministry of Rites. Otherwise, we're just going to get busier. ”
Amber smiled and served a cup of hot tea to Eleven Niang, and said with a smile: "If the fourth young master is not the prince of the world, naturally we have to compare the etiquette of the second young master when he got married, there may not be so many guests at home, and there is no need to open so many tables at the banquet, so I don't have to be so busy." ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "But I didn't figure it out." ”
Qiu Yu covered her mouth and smiled.
"Mother, let my daughter-in-law take care of it when I get married," Brother Jin, who was painting red on the side, suddenly raised his head and said, "Let you be like Mrs. Tai, just look around every day." That way you can sleep in every day. "When he came to greet his parents these days, sometimes his mother hadn't gotten up yet.
Eleven Niang took into account that with the approach of Xu Si's wedding date, it was not a distinguished guest to congratulate her, in case she wanted to use a small study, Brother Jin painted red there, Xu Lingyi had to ask him to see the guests, which was not conducive to Brother Jin'er reading, so let Brother Jin paint red in his inner room, and he only saw guests in the flower hall.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
Brother Jin was very dissatisfied, and shouted with a red face: "What I said is true! ”
Eleven Niang hurriedly comforted the little guy: "Okay, good, good." I'm waiting for my brother to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Everyone laughed again.
Brother Jin'er's cheeks bulged like a frog.
Xu Siyu and his family rushed back from Le'an.
"Mother!" When giving a big gift to Eleven Niang, Xu Siyu helped Xiang who stood up.
Shi Niang's heart moved, she looked Xiang up and down, and then looked at Xu Siyu and smiled: "Do you have anything else to say to me?" ”
Xu Siyu and Xiang's faces were flushed, and Xu Siyu, who had always been calm and calm, was uncomfortable as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and muttered: "Rou her, she is pregnant." ”
"Why don't you report it to your family?" Eleven Niang hurriedly asked Qiu Yu to bring a Taishi chair to Xiang, "Since this is the case, why are you in a hurry to come back." "Tell Amber to invite Liu Yizheng in to check Xiang's pulse, send someone to talk to Xu Lingyi, and ask Xiang for a few months, the road is peaceful, and the pregnancy is good.
"It's been four months." Xiang was a little shy, but more happy, she replied to Eleven Niang's words in a low voice, "Xianggong is afraid that the concubine will be bumpy on the road, and it will take three months to set off, and he will only arrive home at this time." The concubine's body is good, and she is stable all the way. It's okay to be pregnant, mother-in-law doesn't have to worry. ”
Shi Niang looked at her ruddy face, and she didn't look like something was wrong, so she asked Fangxi to get some medicinal materials such as ginseng, bird's nest, and gastrodia and send them to Xiang's side. pulled out Wansan's daughter-in-law and two experienced mothers-in-law to serve Xiang's side: "...... If there is anything, just ask Wan San's daughter-in-law. Brother Cheng is what she watched grow up. Experienced. Don't be afraid! "Arrange someone to report to the Xiang family, tell the Xiang family to go back to the house to rest, and accompany Xu Siyu to greet Mrs. Tai.
When they spoke, Brother Jin'er stared at Xiang with a pair of eyes, and when he saw that they were going to Mrs. Tai's place, he would also follow. On the way, he quietly asked Xu Siyu: "Second brother, am I going to be an uncle?" ”
Xu Siyu smiled and touched his head.
Brother Jin ran away in a puff of smoke. I can't stop screaming. By the time Shi Niang and Xu Si arrived at Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai already knew, and was whispering to Brother Jin with a smile.
"Why are you so ignorant!" Mrs. Tai said angrily, "Since you are pregnant, you should take good care of the fetus, and you don't say hello to the elders, so you ran back." Fortunately, your daughter-in-law has a good body and bones and can withstand the toss, if there is a three-long and two-short, I will not spare you. He added, "Since you're back, don't go back to Le'an." Keep it at home! ”
Xu Siyu smiled wryly.
Mrs. Tai went to see Xiang in Xu Siyu's house.
The second lady who got the news rushed over and gave Xiang a piece of Hetian jade jade that she had worn all the year round to Xiang: "This is still given by the host of Wutai Mountain when I went to Wutai Mountain, and it was said that it was opened." You wear it on your body, and bless your mother and son with safety. ”
Xiang was shy.
The fifth lady brought supplements such as abalone and sea cucumber to see Xiang's.
Amber wrote back again: "Master Hou said he knew. Let the second young grandmother be good at birth. ”
Everyone was beaming, and the family happily ate at Mrs. Tai's.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Xiang rushed over.
The girl was pregnant, and the stone that Mrs. Xiang pressed on her heart fell to the ground, and the mother and daughter reunited, and naturally had a broad understanding.
At this time, the person who went to send the wedding card to Cangzhou came back and said: "The eldest aunt and grandmother know that the fourth young master has set a wedding date, and she is very happy, and the eldest aunt said that in a few days, she and the eldest aunt and grandmother will bring two cousins to Yanjing to congratulate the fourth young master." ”
They haven't seen each other since Sister Zhen got married five years ago. It's a joy to be amazed.
"Let them live in the inner courtyard." Mrs. Tai was very happy and instructed Eleven Niang.
"Let me clean up Lijingxuan." Eleven Niang smiled, "Let her live in the place she used to be!" ”
Mrs. Tai nodded straightly, and frowned again: "Why don't one or two make people worry." The child is still so young, how can he stand it! ”
After Sister Zhen gave birth to her eldest son Shao Anjing, she gave birth to her second son Shao Anxu at the end of last year, one was four years old and the other was only ten months old.
After Mrs. Tai complained, she said to Shi Niang again: "I haven't seen the two great-grandsons. The eldest aunt is so good-looking, and our sister Zhen's son is also beautiful, so the two children should also be like pink makeup, right? There was a bit of longing in the words.
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Tai pulled Eleven Niang to see Li Jingxuan to see if there was anything else that needed to be added.
Xu Lingyi had just sent off Liang Ge Lao outside, and the third son of the emperor, King Yong, came, sent congratulations to Xu Sizhen, and came in to greet Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai and the others hurriedly rushed back, put on makeup, and met King Yong.
The Shandong general soldier who rushed to congratulate Xu Si had to wait in the outer academy accompanied by Steward Zhao, and happened to meet Dou Ge's old ......
The Xu family is now busy.
When Wu Niang took Brother Xin and Sister Tian from Wendeng, Sister Zhen just returned home, Eleven Niang only had time to say a few words to her, Grandma Luo set up a banquet to entertain Wu Niang and the children, she didn't have time to go over, so Amber sent an eight-color gift box to the bowstring alley.
Sister Zhen'er's two children look like Shao Zhongran and are handsome. Not to mention Mrs. Tai, Xu Lingyi saw it and liked it very much. Xu Siyu, Xu Sizhen, and Xu Sijie like to tease the lively and lovely Brother Xu, while Brother Jin and Brother Xu'er led Brother Jing to run around, so frightened that Eleven Niang repeatedly told the people serving around them: "Look at me tightly." You can't go to a place where there is water, and you can't go to Lingqiong Villa to pick fruits...... If Brother Jing bumps somewhere, I'm going to lose my temper. ”
"Such a large group of people watching, and in our back garden, there will be nothing." Sister Zhen took Eleven Niang's arm and smiled, and asked about Brother Jin'er's martial arts, "...... Every time Xianggong asked Master Pang, Master Pang only said that he had learned well. How? ”
"I've started teaching some simple kung fu people." Eleven Niang smiled, "Although I don't understand this, I am very satisfied with this progress by looking at your father's appearance." ”
"Then I'll be relieved." Sister Zhen smiled, "I also thought at the time, my father must have someone to choose early." But the public said that we should also do our best. After thinking about it, I recommended Master Pang......"
In the days when she returned to her parents' house, Shao Zhongran was pulled by Xu Lingyi to accompany the guests, and the two children were taken by Mrs. Tai and several brothers, she couldn't intervene at all and was idle. After going to see Aunt Wen a few times, she followed Shi Niang, or helped Shi Niang entertain guests, or accompanied Shi Niang to talk.
Eleven Niang was thinking about a few children, and asked the maid to see what she was doing from time to time.
"Mother is still the same as before, always like to worry about this and that." Sister Zhen couldn't help but sigh, suddenly thinking of what happened when she was a child, her eyes were red, and tears fell without warning.
As a mother, I can better understand the difficulties of mothers.
Sister Zhen had to panic in her heart. Thinking that this is the fourth brother's happy day, he said it himself, wouldn't it make his mother sad. Busy wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, he thought of his mother's kindness to him, thinking of his life in Cangzhou over the years, and felt that he had a thousand words to say to his mother.
"Mother, I'll sleep with you tonight, okay?" She hugged Eleven Niang's arm tightly, and her eyes were full of tears, "I still remember when I was a child, I once went to your house to take a nap...... You made a pearl bracelet for me...... I gave a red chrysanthemum flower and sideburns to ...... Take me to Sister Hui'er's house...... We and Sister Fang, no, it's the crown princess, stealing your little jacket ......" As soon as the words opened, I was shocked to realize that so many things had happened, and every single one of them made her life a little farther away from the original track and closer to her current life......
Sister Zhen has faded away from her youthfulness and has become a woman with a little gentleness in the corners of her eyes and firm eyebrows. is still coquettish in front of herself like a little girl, and the corners of Eleven Niang's eyes are also watery.
"Okay!" I'm back this time, and I don't know when we'll be able to meet next time. She didn't want the atmosphere to be so sad, so she joked with a smile, "As long as you are willing to leave your aunt and Brother Jing and Brother Xu behind." ”
"It's just one night." Sister Zhen said, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and between her eyebrows, she had the confidence that only a happy woman has, "Besides, the children still have nurses!" ”
Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled.
Sister Zhen was a little embarrassed, and said, "Now that I have returned to my parents' house, I naturally want to be my mother's daughter." ”
"Okay!" There are not many opportunities to be coquettish in front of her mother, so let people make a bed for Sister Zhen'er.
Xu Lingyi's eyes widened: "Then where do I sleep?" ”
Eleven Niang's face turned red, afraid that Sister Zhen would hear it, so she pushed him out: "Where can you sleep wherever you want!" ”
