Chapter 162: Birthday Banquet
Liu Zhi snorted: "Go away, I still don't want to pay attention to you." This time, his nose hit Li Chun's chest, and sour tears fell down at once, "Woo woo, I said that I don't want to pay attention to you, you big liar." I hate you to death. ”
Li Chun grabbed Liu Zhi's hand: "Don't cry Xiaozhi, it's all my fault, don't ignore me, I can forgive me if I find a way to bring the delicate child back?" ”
Liu Zhi raised his head with teary eyes: "Really, you can't lie to me anymore, if you lie to me again, then I really won't pay attention to you anymore, I will go to a place where you can't find it." ”
These words sounded terrible, Li Chun held her in his arms and nodded heavily: "Make something for me to eat, I'm starving." ”
The two of them went into the kitchen, which now had a jar of chicken soup on hand. Liu Zhi saw that there were still fish balls left over from yesterday, so he boiled the chicken soup and put down a dozen grains, then chopped the cuttlefish, fried a plate with Jin Buchang and minced garlic on high heat, and then scalded a plate of cabbage. Li Chun buried his head in eating two large bowls of rice.
To tell the truth, Li Chun opened the willow branch and breathed a sigh of relief, she went to Bai Lin's house yesterday, and the eleventh young grandmother saw her very politely, and pulled some words that were not salty or light, but did not let her see the baby, only said that the child was a little uncomfortable in a strange place, and often cried, and he had just fallen asleep at this time, and it was inconvenient to see guests.
Bai Lin, he wasn't there at all.
The eleventh young grandmother is the main mother, and in all respects, she is not wrong about raising her husband's blood and bones, and people are also kind, so she can't shout and kill. They don't take a stand.
The Three Lions Hall can only be lived in by the head of the family, and it is the place where the head of the family lives and deals with things every day, and his wife and children cannot live in it. Bai Lin's own mansion is on Babao Street, not far from the Three Lions Hall.
In Baifu, Babao Street, Wu Zhen lowered her head and took a sip of tea, looked at the nurse kneeling on the ground and said, "Is the little young master still crying these days?" ”
The nurse replied: "I am very well-behaved during the day, and cry more at night." ”
Wu Zhen nodded: "Go out and take care of the young master carefully." The nurse bowed her head and exited the room.
Wu Zhen leaned on the rocks tiredly, and Mama Lin quickly stepped forward to massage her: "The old lady will have a birthday tomorrow, and the house will post you over." Wu Zhen was in good spirits and asked Mama Lin to bring the booklet to her to pick out a few rare things and go back to honor her father.
said that there are all kinds of unsatisfactory things in this family matter, but there are two things that cannot be denied, one is Bai Lin's appearance, who does not envy her husband's beauty; The second is the arrogance of the Bai family. Although Wu Zhen was born as an official eunuch, her family background was mediocre, and it was only after marriage that she really saw what it means to have a pearl like earth and gold like iron.
Wu Zhen's father followed Yan Hou and also brought his family to Nanquan. Although Wu's father is not very good in official position, he can't stand up to have a good relative, so he saw that the mansion is also like flowing water, the guests are like clouds, and many businessmen who can't climb up also asked the housekeeper to send a thick courtesy, and the scene of flowers here makes the Wu family happy.
Although Mrs. Wu is old, her spirit is still very strong: "What do you do, is it to remind me that this old woman has not lived enough?" ”
Poof, a round-faced maid on the side laughed: "The old lady is a birthday star today, you can't say that." ”“
What kind of happy thing to say, I heard Jinhua's laughter outside. "Come in with a smiling maid" Old lady, the guests are here, and the wife also invited the troupe today, saying that it is the best team in Nanquan. "Sister Cuihuan knows how to make fun of me." A few maids hugged Mrs. Wu and walked into the garden.
Wu Zhen got out of the car, and was hugged by a group of girls and went inside, she wore a blue placket today, a light red pleated skirt, and the distracting hairpins and rubies in her hair were dazzlingly red. Mrs. Wu looked at her with satisfaction and straightened her hair: "Take a good look around this garden today, I asked people to bring a lot of Taihu stones, and finally it looks good." ”
Mrs. Wu prides herself on being a scholarly family, married a six-grade official, and has always been dissatisfied. Master Wu invited herself to Nanquan, and she cried for a long time, wanting to stay in Jiangnan and come back when her daughter got married. As a result, Mrs. Wu wanted to come with her, and her mother-in-law was gone, and she had no reason to stay.
Mrs. Wu has not been used to Nanquan, the weather has always been very hot, there are only fish and shrimp to eat on the street, the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River flows, and the long alley can only stay in the dream. For this reason, she hugged Wu Zhen and cried several times: "In this place of Nanquan, the locals are as black as charcoal, and they can't understand what they say, they are all merchants, alas." I can't let you go the old way of your mother and marry a sour person, it's as hard as a stone, and you don't know how to know cold and heat. The civil officials here are all old men with no future, and there are few suitable ones, so you should wait for your uncle to tell you a kiss. ”
Now that her daughter is still married in the local area, and she is married to a businessman, Mrs. Wu is not happy with it. However, the benefits of the extra house and yard under his own name and the 1,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River are real.
No, a six-foot-tall red coral in the birthday gift brought by her daughter caused a lot of amazement, and the Gonghou Mansion in Beijing may not be able to find such a plant. Wu Zhen listened to everyone's flattery and remembered that at the beginning, she fell in love with Bai Lin, and married him without listening to persuasion with a hot head, whether it was right or wrong.
Mrs. Wu pulled her into the inner room, and the mother and son talked about private words, asked her aunt if she was considerate, and asked her if there was any movement in her stomach. "Why didn't the kid bring it today?" Mrs. Wu also knew about Bai Lin's concubine for a long time.
Wu Zhen was gloomy for a while, and she was impatient for someone to mention this matter, so she only said that the child had a wind and diarrhea, and it was not suitable to go out. Speaking of Bai Lin's attitude towards this child is also quite strange, and he is not as enthusiastic as he imagined, this child has no official name since he was three years old, and he has been calling babies and babies together.
She once asked, "Master, let's give me a serious name and a family tree." Bai Lin hesitated, and said "not in a hurry" for a while If he didn't know that this child was really his, this attitude really made people suspect that it was someone else's species. has never said whether this child will be raised for her, but if she is not raised, who else can she give it to? It is impossible to raise a pearl lady.
The backyard ladies are exchanging costumes and jewelry, giving birth to children, and the content of the conversation between the men in front of them is much more subtle and subtle, and many transactions are in the inconspicuous dew. Bai Lin attracted everyone's attention, his overly gaudy facial features and blue eyes made the self-proclaimed well-dressed scholar feel embarrassed, and it was already humiliating to be in the same room with a merchant, let alone a prisoner mongrel.
Bai Lin's side was empty, he didn't care, these sour and rotten literati were not worth talking about. His attention was on a young man who had just arrived, he was in his early twenties, handsome, and smiled slightly no matter who he spoke to, as thoughtful and warm as a spring breeze.
"Little Eleven is near." Lu Xiyue greeted the master's family, and turned her head to see the owner who had been focusing on herself.
Bai Lin got up and saluted: "Hello Lord Lu." "Although this person is just a subordinate of the deputy promotion of the city department, he is an official from the ninth grade, but in terms of power, he is on an equal footing with the promotion, and there is no other person, there is someone behind him.
Lu Xiyue approached Bai Lin, and the picture of two beautiful men with different styles in the same frame was very eye-catching. The smile on the corner of his mouth widened ten, and he said to Bai Lin kindly: "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Eleven for a cup of tea, and I heard that Nanquan Rock Tea is the best in the world, and I am eager to give it a try." ”
"The villagers are ignorant, and the crude things are cherished by themselves. is no more than Jiangnan Sparrow Tongue "On Tai Chi, Bai Lin is also a master" Lu Daman's visit to the cold house will make Peng Shen shine, and a bowl of thirst-quenching tea can't be short no matter what. ”
Lu Xiyue laughed and patted Bai Lin's shoulder. After a lap of coping, Lu Xiyue took a seat, he sat next to Bai Lin intentionally or unintentionally, Bai Lin naturally would not let go of the opportunity, and asked in a low voice when he raised his glass of tea: "I heard that Master Hou will come today, right?" ”
Lu Xiyue's face did not change, she only shook her head slightly, Bai Lin was depressed, big brother, do you mean that you will not come or don't know, please give me a letter.
