Chapter 536: Licheng (I)
"Fourth aunt", Xu Siqin said as soon as he entered the door, "We are here to ask for a bowl of longevity noodles to eat"
"Welcome, welcome." Eleven Niang smiled and invited them to sit on the Taishi chair, and asked the maid to tell the kitchen to cook noodles.
Xu Siqin hurriedly stopped: "Fourth aunt, I'm joking with you." We all had breakfast. Then he smiled, "We are here to celebrate the birthday of the second brother." ”
Eleven Niang guessed too, leaving them: "I'll come here for lunch later!" ”
Xu Siqin was stunned for a moment, and responded with a smile, "Okay, then I'll disturb my aunt", but his eyes looked towards Xu Siyu.
Xu Siyu shook his head gently.
Xu Siqin's face was anxious, and he glanced at Xu Si.
Xu Siyu lowered his eyelids and put on a gesture of refusal.
Eleven Niang can see it.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys have a world of their own.
She was secretly amused, and simply joked: "Okay, okay, don't you brow and make eyes." If you make an appointment about where you want to go, just go. It's just that I asked the kitchen to make longevity peaches at noon, so don't leave without eating it when the time comes. ”
"Nope!" Xu Siyu said busily.
Xu Siqin was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Four."
The two spoke in unison and couldn't help but glance at each other.
Xu Siyu looked at Xu Siqin and said, "We don't have any arrangements, we will stay at my mother's place at noon to eat longevity peaches." ”
Excluding some personal feelings, Xu Siyu is still a sensible, considerate, and careful big boy.
"Shou Tao hasn't been put on the pot yet", Shi Niang smiled, "I let the kitchen make it for supper at night." You don't have to come over to say hello at night. Your father's place, I'll tell him. Today is your birthday, so let's go out for a day! ”
Xu Siyu said something else, Xu Siqin had already explained: "Auntie, we don't go out either, we just invited the second brother to my place for a drink." I just got married, and I met the birth ......,... of my second brother"
"Understood, understood." Eleven Niang interrupted him with a smile, "With those of us who are elders, you are not comfortable." "Then tell me" "Alcohol can hurt the body" just remember not to drink too much! ”
Xu Siyu didn't expect Eleven Niang to be so transparent, and when it comes to this, it would be a bit hypocritical to shirk again. He hurriedly promised: "Mother rest assured, "We will not come nonsense." ”
"I know that both of you brothers are measured people." Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and asked Fang's family: "Don't let them get drunk!" Then let Sister Zhen send them out.
Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie both looked forward.
Eleven Niang smiled slightly.
It's just that Xu Siqin didn't invite the two little ones, and she couldn't let these two go together.
Let Brother Jin play on the kang and continue to talk to Xu Sichen: "Did you know Master Jiang on the day you climbed the mountain?" Who else but Master Jiang? ”
Xu Sizhen is not the kind of willful child, seeing that Eleven Niang asked her, she gradually restrained her thoughts, and replied to Eleven Niang seriously: "There is also Dou Ge Lao, Lord Wang" Lord Li "Lord Chen......"
Eleven Niang asked all the adults what positions they hold, what they look like, and how they treat people......
"Old man Dou Ge.
Tall, always smiling......" Xu Si replied earnestly.
Xu Sijie sat quietly on the Taishi chair in front of the kang and listened, while Brother Jin dragged the big pillow with ink, walked to the head of the kang for a while, walked to the end of the kang for a while, and touched the rattle from under the kang table to show Sister Zhen, and shook the rattle "Lost the Lang Peng, and went to pull out the big red camellia inserted in the tin pot and bottle on the windowsill, and there was no quiet moment.
Since Brother Jin'er is gone, the furnishings in Eleven Niang's house have all changed. Gall vases and flowers, if you can't put them, try not to put them, that is, they want to put them, and they also use tin pots, because they are afraid that Brother Jin will break the porcelain and be scratched.
Sister Zhen was afraid that he would overturn the tin pot, so she hurriedly helped the tin over.
Brother Jin successfully pulled out the flowers, and immediately ran to the front of Eleven Niang and inserted the flowers into Eleven Niang's head.
Sister Zhen couldn't laugh.
Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie were also attracted to him, one was a little absent-minded when he spoke, and the other pursed his lips and smiled.
Seeing that this was not a matter, Eleven Niang simply stopped asking the question and said with a smile: "I stay in the inner courtyard every day, and I never knew that there was such an interesting thing outside." Brother Zhen, if you go out to socialize in the future, remember to come back and tell me, so that I can also open my eyes. ”
Xu Si respectfully responded "yes". Xu Sijie ran to the kang with a smile and shouted, "Sixth brother, sixth brother", and stretched out to shake Brother Jin'er's little hand.
Brother Jin thought that Xu Sijie wanted the flowers in his hand, twisted his body, put the flowers under the kang table on the side, and then spread his hands towards Xu Sijie, signaling that the flowers were gone.
Everyone was laughing back and forth, but Brother Jin stood there with a suspicious face, looking at them at a loss...... Several people laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists.
Xu Lingyi suddenly walked in: "What's the matter?" ”
"Master Hou is back!" Eleven Niang took a few children to Xu Lingyi to salute, the husband and wife divided the main and secondary meetings, Sister Zhen took the little maid and held the teacup to her father, and Eleven Niang told the story again.
Xu Lingyi couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and hugged Brother Jin: "You really became what your grandmother said" The goose has been plucked, but it is just something that passes through your hands, and others don't want to go back! ”
A loving smile, a doting expression...... seemed to have infinite patience and infinite joy for Brother Jin, which made Xu Sizhen slightly stunned, and then heard his father ask about the second brother: "...... Why not in the house......"
"Brother Qin'er specially set up a banquet to entertain him...... "Eleven Niang took Brother Jin with a smile, "I played ...... in the past"
Xu Lingyi "......", and did not ask anything else, but kissed Brother Jin'er on the cheek and handed him to Gu's mother: "The weather is good today, take the sixth young master to the yard to bask in the sun...... " Let all the heartfelt words she had prepared before be stillborn.
Brother Jin grabbed Xu Lingyi's sleeve and didn't let go.
Xu Lingyi touched Brother Jin's head and said with a smile: "Be good, play with Gu's mother!" I'm going to teach you how to ride a horse ...... your fourth and fifth brothers."
Since the autumn, Xu Lingyi has found a master to teach Xu Sizhen to ride and shoot, and he will take classes for two hours every five days, and occasionally he will make a cameo appearance as a teacher.
Xu Sizhen is a boy after all, although his body is thin, he can only ride on a horse and let people lead the horse to walk around the horse yard a few times, and take a special small bow to pull the string, "But when there is a riding and archery class, he is still very excited."
Xu Sijie heard that his father was going to teach his brother to ride a horse in person, and looked at Xu Sizhen and Xu Lingyi with envy on his face. When Brother Jin saw his father standing up to leave, he pouted, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Xu Lingyi's eyes.
Eleven Niang immediately said: "Master Hou walks slowly." Then I'll take the children to Mrs. Tai's......"
Xu Lingyi knew that Mrs. Tai liked Eleven Niang very much and took Brother Jin to play.
He was ruthless and took Xu Sizhen to the front yard.
Brother Jin chased after his father's back and cried.
Eleven Niang, Sister Zhen, and Brother Jie'er coaxed for a long time before he stopped crying angrily.
The child's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and it has something to do with the child's getting older and sensible, and it has something to do with everyone's love for him.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel a headache.
The queen mother announced that she entered the palace and rewarded a hairpin with silver inlaid with southern pearl beads, saying that it was for Sister Zhen and her hairpin.
With the reward of the queen's mother, the ceremony is perfect.
Eleven Niang thanked her. After leaving Kunning Palace, I met the chamberlain beside Sister Fang, and handed a box with red lacquer and gold: "It is said that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yongping and Lu can't go to celebrate, this tooth comb is the favorite of the crown princess, and it is given to Miss Xu as a congratulatory gift."
Eleven Niang respectfully accepted it, rewarded the waiter, and asked if she could thank the princess in person.
The chamberlain smiled and said, "The prince is having lunch with the princess, Mrs. Yongping Hou will come back another day......
Eleven Niang responded with a smile and returned to the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Tai knew that the queen mother and Sister Fang had rewarded something, so she was naturally very happy, and discussed with Eleven Niang to invite Mrs. Zhou as the main guest, Siniang as the secretary, and Fang as the praiser. Mrs. Zhou and Siniang happily agreed, but when they went to invite Fang's family, Fang's family was surprised and humbled in every way, and politely refused.
Eleven Niang was very surprised. Saying that this was what Mrs. Tai meant didn't make the Fang clan change his mind, so he had to go to Mrs. Tai in a daze.
Mrs. Tai was also surprised, thought about it, and said, "Since you don't want to, let's not force it." I think, let's ask the third lady of the Lin family to be a praiser for Sister Zhen'er......"
Those who serve as praisers are usually the sisters of those who are in harmony. Sister Xin is too young to be suitable; Fang's age is right" but he didn't want to.
Eleven Niang nodded and went to the Lin family again.
Grandma Lin agreed" and said with a smile: "Our sister-in-law is looking forward to it day and night, "just wait for this day......"
Eleven Niang laughed.
On the day of Sister Zhen and Lu, "not only the people from Gongxian Hutong came, but also the people from Honglan Hutong and Zhongqin Bohui came." Eleven Niang also invited Aunt Wen to watch the ceremony.
Xu Lingyi presided over the ceremony of Ji Lu.
The third lady of the Lin family inserted the hairpin rewarded by the queen mother into Sister Zhen'er's hair.
At that moment, Sister Zhen smiled and shed tears.
After the ceremony was completed, everyone moved to the flower hall next to the Dianchun Hall for lunch.
Only then did Eleven Niang have the opportunity to ask Lan Ting: "The third aunt and grandmother should have given birth, right?" I don't know if I've given birth to a thousand catties or a young master......"
Lan Ting laughed in a low voice: "I only got the news last night, saying that I gave birth to a Lin'er who weighs five catties......
"Congratulations to him...... Eleven Niang said sincerely, "I will have someone to accompany me in the future......"
Lanting shook his head: "I also persuaded the third sister like this - now that I have Brother Sui, it's okay to make a fuss with my brother-in-law!" Does he dare to spoil his concubine and kill his wife......
The two were talking here, but Qi Niang and Fifth Lady were talking in the small courtyard next to Dianchun Hall.
"I heard from the fourth sister-in-law, Zhu Anping knelt down for you?"
"It's not for me to kneel...... Qi Niang smiled, "It's for my fourth sister to kneel ......" After speaking, she laughed, and Meiyu felt a little proud.
The fifth lady frowned slightly, and stopped talking.
If it weren't for the Fifth Lady this time, how could she reconcile with Zhu Anping - every time they quarreled, she felt very uncomfortable.
"What are you going to say...... Qi Niang pulled the sleeve of the fifth lady", "With the friendship between you and me, can't you still say it bluntly?" ”,
