Chapter 415: Birthday

Old Madam Xue's birthday has arrived, but the mansion is not as lively as usual, Xue Mingwei jumped the city wall and made it known to the capital, and the entire Xue family was also suppressed and couldn't celebrate. Qian and Rong Hua decorated the house, and then gathered together to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

Old Madam Xue was dressed in festive clothes with a kind smile on her face, but her face was still difficult to hide.

Everyone gathered to talk, and Rong Hua presented the menu to the old lady.

Although no one from the clan was invited, it was lively for such a large family of the Xue family to sit and eat together. The old lady has a troupe to sing a few plays every year, but this year the old lady is not interested, so she simply saves the troupe.

The fourth lady lifted the handkerchief and smiled, "There is something that the daughter-in-law wants to tell her mother, and the mother has a good number in her heart." ”

The old lady returned the menu to Rong Hua, looking at the fourth lady's unbearable appearance, "If you have anything to say, don't you listen to it quickly." ”

The fourth wife smiled and said, "Mingzhe said that he wanted to perform his fists and kicks to congratulate his mother on her birthday." ”

Hearing this, the second wife next to her frowned slightly, Sifang had to touch their moldy heads, Mingwei suffered a loss in his fists and feet, and the fourth brother and sister put the words fists and feet on their mouths, the second wife smiled coldly, Sifang was relying on the support of the long room, thinking of this, half yin and half yang: "Performing fists and feet on the birthday, we Mingzhe This is the first share." ”

The sarcastic tone made the fourth wife stunned, and she couldn't help but think of Ming Haolai, and suddenly felt embarrassed, "It's all a child's random thinking, and I also said that it must be out of place." ”

"It's not out of place," the old lady raised her eyes, her gaze was gentle, "It's rare that Mingzhe has a heart, he just wants to make my old lady happy, and besides, he has been studying in General Shen's Mansion for so long, he should always learn some skills." ”

The second wife gritted her teeth, the fourth wife only felt that her heart was hot, Xue Chongjie was a concubine after all, she never thought about what would happen at home, since the last time the old man rescued people from falling into the water, the old lady took more care of them, so Mingzhe said that she wanted to perform a birthday celebration, and she agreed to come down, and she also wanted to make the old lady happy, so she didn't think about the face of Ming Hao, and she knew that it was better to discuss with Rong Hua first.

The fourth lady was thinking of this, and only listened to the mother-in-law in charge back and forth, "The grandmother of the Bo family in Guangning, the grandmother of the Bo family in Dingnan, and Mrs. Yin of the Shuntian Mansion have all come to congratulate the old lady on her birthday." ”

said that he didn't hold a birthday, but he couldn't stop others from coming to celebrate his birthday. Although you don't post a birthday post, as long as you have what you think about in your heart, you will inevitably come to the door.

The old lady asked Mother Li to stand up, smiling, "It's hard for them to think about me every year." ”

After a while, someone came to report, "The lord of Wellcome, the wife of General Xuanhe Zhenguo, and Mrs. Kangningbo are here." ”

The old lady asked people to put on the cloud shoulders of the word longevity and let people take the red gold hairpin, Rong Hua stood aside and said with a smile: "The old lady wants to quietly celebrate her birthday, but I didn't expect the ladies in the capital to refuse, it seems that the host is going to be a guest today." ”

The old lady also laughed, "Since people are here, they naturally want to stay for the banquet, and the family ......."

"Don't worry," Rong Hua loosened the old lady's shoulders, "There are all kinds of fruits and dried fruits at home, and I also said hello to a family of fresh vegetables. "The old lady has never been a family gathering for a banquet over the years, so she has prepared in advance, only the troupe and juggling she really didn't invite. After all, something happened at home, and it can still be simple.

"My mother's brother will come to pay homage to the old lady in a while." Rong Hua told Brother An about it, "I didn't come to kowtow to the old lady when it was inconvenient before. ”

The old lady naturally knows what this means, and now half of the Tao family wants Rong Hua to support her, and it is understandable that Rong Hua wants the descendants of the Tao family to come and greet her.

The old lady smiled and nodded, "You can arrange it." ”

Sending the old lady to the flower hall, Rong Hua went to the account room to ask the steward to carefully register the gifts sent by the ladies, and then went to the library to choose a return gift.

In less than an hour, the Xue family was full of guests.

Qian came to discuss with Rong Hua, "According to this situation, there will be a lot of people coming to the front hall today." ”

When the night comes, someone will come to the door.

Rong Hua smiled slightly, "I don't know what it was like in previous years. ”

Qian said: "In previous years, the clan and nobles were similar, and the front hall also had to prepare three or four tables. ”

"Then according to what my sister-in-law said, let's prepare three or four tables first, and then talk about it in case there is a shortage."

Qian nodded, and then led the people to work.

Feng Lichang's family listened to it clearly, "The young lady should make more preparations, in case ......"

"It's okay." Rong Hua looked at the direction of Qian's departure, Qian's superficial article wanted to do enough, if there was a mistake at the banquet, Qian and her faces were gloomy, why should Qian be so smart to hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, and besides, the old lady likes to have one heart in the house, on such an occasion, Qian can still work together with her.

The carriage of the Xue family picked up Tao Jing'an and Tao Jinghong, and Rong Hua greeted them and went to the flower hall together.

There was no unmarried lady in the flower hall, so Brother Tao Jingan stepped forward directly to salute the old lady.

Tao Jinghong's voice was loud, Tao Jing'an, the elder brother, couldn't help but show fear when he saw many people, his hands trembled uncontrollably, but fortunately, there was Rong Hua around to take care of him.

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, okay, get up, go play with Mingying and Mingda!" ”

Tao Jingan went out and began to pester Rong Hua, "Eighth sister, where did you hide Rui Qingzang?" What about Rui Qing? ”

Brother Hong next to him smiled and said: "I finally told my eldest brother last night that I would come over today, who knew that my eldest brother refused to change his clothes before leaving, or Xia Tao thought of an idea and told my eldest brother to come to Rui Qing, and my eldest brother was willing to come." ”

Brother Hong was talking here, and Tao Jingan had already begged Rong Hua to come, "Eighth sister...... Hurry up and call Rui Qing, we still have to play rope flipping. ”

Tao Jing'an begged all the way like this, so that the subordinates of the Xue family all looked sideways, Rong Hua took Tao Jing'an's hand, "I'll take my eldest brother to Rui Qing," and then looked at Brother Hong, "I'm busy with the banquet and don't have time to accompany you, so you go and talk to Mingzhe." ”

Brother Hong asked the maid to lead the way to Xue Mingzhe, and Rong Hua ordered someone to call Rui Qing.

Rui Qing heard in the South Courtyard that Tao Jing'an had come and asked the young lady to come over to serve, and she couldn't help frowning, remembering the previous gossip. After sitting for a while, I heard Tao Jingan's shouting faintly from the courtyard, and I didn't know what to do when I stood up.

Hongyu saw the tears in her eyes and hurriedly comforted, "Even if my sister doesn't go out, can she stop the mouths of others?" It doesn't matter what others think, the key is that the young lady believes in her sister. ”

Rui Qing turned her head to meet Hongyu's gaze. Hongyu is right, she really looks at the uncle pitifully, and she doesn't think about climbing up to the uncle to be a master, just let them go whatever others like to say, anyway, she is walking straight. Rui Qing thought about this thoroughly, and then put down the needle and thread in his hand and went out.

The Xue family welcomed guests here, and the Chen family in Jing'er Hutong also welcomed Concubine Jing's biological mother, Mrs. Li.

Chen's mother and daughter-in-law were pooling money in the side room, and when they heard that someone from the Li family was coming, they hurriedly closed the money box and put it aside.

Mother Chen took the whole family to salute Mrs. Li, and before saluting, she did not forget to explain to the juniors who had never seen Mrs. Li, "This is our wife." "The Chen family is the marriage of the Li family, and now that the Li family is suspended, it stands to reason that the Chen family should go back to their parents' house with the Li family, but the Li family refuses to let the Li family enter the door, and the Chen family and the family do not know where to go in the future.

I heard that it was the old club in front of him, and the old and young of the Chen family kowtowed very carefully.

Mrs. Li saw it in her eyes and nodded with satisfaction, it is a good thing that the Chen family can have such a performance, since she wants to come back to the Li family, she has to sell her a job, she will give Chen's mother this opportunity today.

Chen's mother's eldest daughter-in-law led everyone to retreat, and Chen's mother and Mrs. Li went to the main house to see the Li family.

Li was lying on the bed, covered with an old brocade quilt, his face was like wax, and his breathing seemed to be intermittent. Chen's mother shouted twice and didn't see Li wake up, so she looked at Mrs. Li anxiously, "The lady is just asleep, the eldest lady will wait a while, otherwise when the lady wakes up, she knows that the eldest lady has come and gone, and she doesn't know how sad it is." ”

Mrs. Li sighed, bent down to cover the quilt for Li, and followed Chen's mother back to the side room.

"How's Grandma doing these days?"

Mother Chen hurriedly said: "The lady is seriously ill, and she has not seen light, especially now that the conditions for coming to the slave's house are not as good as before, and the good medicine used in the past cannot be obtained, so she can only barely support some poor food." I was awake a little more when I was in Tao's house, but now I'm groggy most of the time. ”

In the past, Concubine Jing's side was too peaceful, she wanted her aunt to die earlier, but now she still has something to ask, and when she saw her aunt's appearance as a living dead, her heart was half cold, and then she heard Chen's mother say this, I was afraid that it would be difficult for my aunt to speak, "Can my aunt still speak?" ”

Mother Chen nodded for a long time, "When the lady is sober, she also wants to speak, but she ......" Mother Chen's face was ugly, and she raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Li meaningfully, "I just always call Miss Tao Wu's name." ”

"Miss Tao Wu?" Mrs. Li frowned.

Chen's mother seemed to have made up her mind to take out the red sandalwood box under the low table and open it.

Mrs. Li looked over, and the box was full of trivial silver taels.

"Don't hide it from the eldest wife, the lady and the slave maid have been the master and servant for decades, the slave and the maid can't watch the lady like this, since the medicine stone is invalid, the slave and the maid invited the Taoist priest to come and see the lady, the Taoist priest said that the lady was haunted by resentment and had to do things to be good, and the slave and maid's family are trying to make money for the Taoist priest to do it." Li kept shouting at Rong Hua, and she didn't know whether it was Miss Five or Miss Eight, but according to what the Taoist priest said, it must be the resentment of Miss Five that entangled the Li family to make the Li family confused.

Chen's mother paused and said, "What the Taoist priest means, as long as the resentment is expelled, the lady's illness can still be cured." ”

"Taoist practices?" It's not that she doesn't believe it, but she just believes it......

"After the practice, the lady personally bowed to Miss Tao Wu, so that she could get rid of the disease." ro！！
