Ten days later, it was the day of the birthday banquet of the prince's wife, and it was a beautiful day.
Cui'er changed into a vermilion Shu brocade dress that had been prepared a long time ago, and her head was matched with a set of red gold and ruby jewelry, which made Cui'er have red lips and white teeth, and her skin was like clotted fat. After entrusting the children to Mrs. Ye, Cui'er took the two maids to get into the carriage in the mansion and drove slowly towards the Dingguo Mansion.
If Cui'er goes to the Dingguo Mansion on weekdays, she will bring soft and small bags, and sometimes she will bring Xiao Lantern Festival together, so that she can enhance her relationship with Da Niu and Xiaohu. But this time it was Mrs. Shizi's birthday banquet, and Cui'er also wanted to take the opportunity to enhance the prestige of her tea, and it would be too much energy to take the children with her, so she left the children at home.
Because Cui'er is inextricably linked with the Dingguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wen Xiu does not treat her as an outsider, although Cui'er is not the master of the Dingguo Mansion, she is really a relative of the Dingguo Mansion.
Therefore, during the birthday banquet of the prince and wife, Mrs. Wenxiu not only received the tea gift box sent by Cui'er as a return gift, but also asked Cui'er to help greet the families of some military generals. Mrs. Wenxiu gave Cui'er enough face, and Cui'er naturally had to go all out, so she dressed up early and arrived at the Dingguo Mansion.
When Cui'er arrived, because it was still early, the door of the Dingguo Mansion was not crowded. The doorkeeper knows the carriage of the family. Seeing that it was Miss Yuehua and Young Master Chenguang's stepmother who had arrived, she immediately trotted forward to help open the door and pull the carriage.
Cui'er's carriage smoothly entered the courtyard of the Dingguo Mansion and came to the door of the hanging flowers. got out of the carriage under the service of the maid-in-law.
"Mrs. Lian is early, our lady is taking a few young ladies in the courtyard of Mrs. Shizi. I told the old slave that when you came, I would lead you to the courtyard of Mrs. Shizi. After Cui'er got out of the carriage, her mother next to Mrs. Wen Xiu greeted her and said.
"Good!" It's not yet time for a feast. Cui'er knew that at this time, it should be the time for Mrs. Shizi's junior family to give Mrs. Shizi a birthday gift, so she nodded and got into a small oil truck with green curtains. I went to the courtyard where Mrs. Shiko was in the inner courtyard.
Mrs. Shizi's birthday is another birthday, so it is natural to celebrate it. Mrs. Shizi is the grandmother of Da Niu and Xiaohu, and she was the first to recognize her two children and herself. The feelings here are naturally different from others.
Because of the different feelings, the gifts that Cui'er prepared for Mrs. Shizi were a little different from others, and Cui'er prepared a pair of pillows. Speaking of this pillow, it is a relatively private thing, and people with ordinary relationships will not give it when giving gifts, and people who receive gifts will not use it.
However, because Cui'er has raised Yuehua and Chenguang for several years, and loves them as her own, Mrs. Shizi is grateful for the kindness of the Lian family. recognized Cui'er as a godfather. In this way, Cui'er is not only the godmother of Yuehua and Chenguang, but also the goddaughter of Mrs. Shizi.
It doesn't take a long time. The small oil cart that Cui'er was sitting in had already arrived at the entrance of Mrs. Shizi's yard, and as soon as Cui'er got out of the car, she saw the proud maid beside Mrs. Shizi looking at the door. After seeing Cui'er coming, this girl came over with a sincere smile, greeted Cui'er, and invited Cui'er into the courtyard.
"Mrs. Shizi is waiting for you!" The girl opened the curtain for Cui'er to enter the door and said earnestly. Cui'er smiled and thanked her, and then entered the warm pavilion where Mrs. Shizi usually entertained guests.
As soon as I entered the warm pavilion. Cui'er saw that there were a lot of people in the room, Mrs. Shizi was sitting in the middle of the room, she was sitting in the lower left hand of Mrs. Wenxiu and General Wenxiu, and on the right hand were sitting Yueshu, Yuexian, Yuehua and Chenguang, their grandchildren.
When Mrs. Shizi saw Cui'er coming, she smiled and nodded slightly, and Yuehua and Chenguang's eyes lit up with joy, and they looked like they wanted to rush up and pull Cui'er, but they were in the way of the rules.
"Cui'er, you're here, we'll be waiting for you!" After Mrs. Wen Xiu saw Cui'er enter the house, she stood up and said with a smile. As she spoke, she had already walked to Cui'er, and took Cui'er's hand and came to Mrs. Shizi.
"Mother, Sister Cui'er is also here, this time we can celebrate our birthday, right?" When Mrs. Wen Xiu spoke, her eyes flashed with brilliance, and she was beautiful.
As soon as Mrs. Wen Xiu said this, she startled Cui'er, looking at the way everyone was sitting around just now, Cui'er thought that they had already celebrated their birthday, but she didn't expect that it hadn't started yet.
"Alright, let's get started!" Mrs. Shizi smiled and waved her hand, Cui'er felt that Mrs. Wen Xiu let go of herself, and in a blink of an eye, she saw her and General Wen Xiu walking in front of Mrs. Shizi, holding the birthday gift in their hands and bowing down together.
"I wish my mother a blessing like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan!" As she spoke, Mrs. Wen Xiu bowed her head to General Wen Xiu, and then respectfully presented her gift.
"Okay...... Mrs. Shizi smiled between her eyebrows, nodded again and again and accepted the gift, looking very happy.
According to the right reason, the birthday greetings before this birthday banquet are all affectionate birthday gifts from their own families, and outsiders have no chance to see them at all. Cui'er looked at this warm and lively scene, holding the hand of the girl next to her and being moved, but she was also a little embarrassed that she couldn't explain clearly, after all, she was not really a member of the Yang family.
"Come, it's your turn, Sister Cui'er!" After Mrs. Wen Xiu bowed, there was no one behind her, and Cui'er was stunned when she saw Mrs. Wen Xiu pulling herself with a smile.
Between the lightning and flint, Cui'er only felt as if she had been soaked in a hot spring, did she actually regard herself as her own family?
"What are you still stunned about, my mother only has my husband and my second brother's two sons, you are just like my mother's daughter!" Mrs. Wen Xiu looked at Cui'er's stunned appearance and couldn't help but smile and said.
"But Cui'er, if you come so early, you don't prepare a birthday gift. Sister-in-law, I can't save you, but I have to let my mother punish you well! Mrs. Wen Xiu saw that Cui'er hadn't reacted yet, and pulled Cui'er to the middle of the hall. While talking witty to Cui'er.
Yuehua and Chenguang were both happy, and when they heard Mrs. Wenxiu say that Mrs. Shizi treated Cui'er as her own daughter, their eyes lit up with joy. Seeing that Cui'er didn't seem to have reacted, they were a little anxious, as if they were afraid that Cui'er really didn't bring a birthday gift, Chenguang couldn't help but stand up and squeeze the gift box in his hand tightly. It seems that she wants to give something to Cui'er and let her make her a birthday gift.
In fact, Cui'er didn't react. After all, she is a small guerrilla general's wife, Rao is close to Yuehua and Chenguang, but she can't be willful and reckless in the Dingguo Mansion. After listening to Mrs. Wenxiu's invitation, I arrived at Mrs. Shizi's courtyard early. Naturally, I have already thought about all possible scenarios.
Now that Mrs. Wen Xiu said this, she rightly hit the most beautiful thing Cui'er thought, but it was also the most unlikely. On her birthday, Mrs. Shizi accepted her birthday greetings like a family member, which was too close and unbelievable.
"You girl, do you have to procrastinate to give my old woman a birthday!" Mrs. Shizi looked at Cui'er's stunned expression, and naturally knew what she was thinking in her heart. Mrs. Shizi turned her head to look at the anxious Yuehua and Chenguang, as well as Yueshu, who was faintly carrying her heart for Cui'er. The decision in my heart became more and more firm.
Not for others, but for the sake of his three grandchildren, he recognized Cui'er, the goddaughter. She deserves it, too.
"That's it, what else does the girl want, call her godmother!" Mrs. Wen Xiu pushed Cui'er and said with a low smile.
"Godmother is on top, I wish Godmother Yaochi Spring is not old, and she will smile every day!" between the electric light and flint. Cui'er understood what Mrs. Shizi meant, and knelt on the futon without saying a word. He kowtowed three times to Mrs. Shizi and sincerely wished.
"Okay, good ......" Mrs. Shizi was very happy when she saw Cui'er like this, and knew that she was right.
"Godmother, this is a pillow I sewed with my own hands, filled with good green tea and chrysanthemums, which clears the liver and eyes, and calms the nerves." Cui'er didn't go any further, the meaning of the words, Mrs. Shizi understood, and Mrs. Wenxiu also understood.
Since the beginning of the expedition of General Wude, this lady of the world has been looking forward to the return of the army in the northwest as soon as possible. In just a few months, the person has lost a lot of weight, and he can't sleep at night, and he is uncomfortable.
Not only Mrs. Shizi, since Lian Qingshan went on the expedition, Cui'er also has the same problem, she is busy with family affairs during the day, and at night she is really worried about Lian Qingshan, and she can't sleep peacefully every day.
When Cui'er was making flower tea, she thought that this chrysanthemum tea had the effect of brightening her eyes and calming her nerves, so she thought of using this chrysanthemum to make a pillow for herself and see if she could sleep better at night.
It's just that at this time it is the turn of spring and summer, where do the chrysanthemums come from, and finally found more than a dozen pots of chrysanthemums from the flower market, and picked them after raising them carefully, so that they can produce less than two catties of dried chrysanthemums. I made a small pillow with chrysanthemums, not to mention, after using this pillow, Cui'er slept much better than usual, and there was less time to wet the pillow towel with tears.
Later, I heard that Mrs. Wenxiu said that Mrs. Shizi's heart was hot and she couldn't sleep peacefully at night, so Cui'er privately sent some chrysanthemum tea to Mrs. Wenxiu and asked her to make tea for Mrs. Shizi. Cui'er herself collected chrysanthemums everywhere non-stop, made dried chrysanthemums into pillows, and gave them to Mrs. Shizi.
"Cui'er, you have a heart! Come, help me put it in my bedroom, and use the pillow that Cui'er gave me today. Mrs. Shizi looked at Cui'er's handmade pillow and said with a smile. I didn't have any scruples because it was sent by Cui'er, but I wanted to use it on the same day, what a trust!
"Thank you godmother for your trust!" Cui'er couldn't hide the excitement in her heart and said.
"Good boy, come and sit!" Mrs. Shizi beckoned to Cui'er, and let her sit beside her kindly, gently holding her hand and patting it, looking very fond. Looking at Cui'er's polite but straightforward appearance, I like it very much.
Next, the younger generation of children came to pay their respects, this one gave their own handmade sachets, that one gave their own hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, and hand-made beads and so on. It's not a precious thing, but it contains a sense of respect for the elders.
The family worshiped their birthday lively, and sat together to eat a bowl of longevity noodles. After a short time, the rewards of the Duke of Dingguo, the Duchess of Dingguo and the prince of Dingguo have also arrived, and everyone has been lively for a while.
It's time for the guests to come, Mrs. Wenxiu pulled Cui'er to salute Mrs. Shizi, and went out to greet the guests, while Yueshu and the others stayed in Mrs. Shizi's warm pavilion and accompanied Mrs. Shizi.
