Chapter 183: Again to Qujiang
On this day, You led his grandson Yang Chun to visit the pregnant eldest 'daughter' Zhuo Zhaoqiong in Juyang Bofu, and when he came back, he heard Zhuo Zhaojie tell the third lady about coming over, so he asked: "Then what do you want?" β
"I think the most suitable place in our house is in the garden, and if you change the place next to it, either there is not enough space, or the 'sex' is not easy to use, not to mention that there is only so little bit of light left now, and it may not be too late to clean it up." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "But the marriage of the seventh brother is a big event, and the third aunt came over in person to open her mouth, and it is not good if she does not agree." β
You said: "I know all this, you only said how do you plan to celebrate your sister-in-law's birthday now?" β
"Didn't I take the post on Wen Wuniang's birthday last time?" Zhuo Zhaojie said, "How does my mother look at the Wen family's method?" At that time, the garden in Wen Xiang's mansion seemed to be resting, and it was inconvenient to borrow the courtyard of the eldest aunt's house, so I chartered a building in Qujiang, and the surrounding scenery was good, and it was also familiar to run a banquet in a place like Huixue Building. β
"It's a workaround." You Shi thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "But the post has already been sent?" And the days are so tight, how do you get the right pavilion? β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "I just sent someone to Qujiang to ask, back to the snow building diagonally to the Manxiang Garden is good, has received a deposit, promised not to receive people next to him that day, as for the post, anyway, the people invited are in Chang'an City, it doesn't matter if you send someone to change it, the reason is to learn from the Wen family, saying that our home is also being repaired." β
"Luckily, the climate is suitable at this time, and it is difficult to get the whole floor in Qujiang, but there is only one reason to learn what the Wen family does?" You said, "You said that in order to make more people lively, your fiancΓ©es of your seventh brother and eighth brother, if you invite them to our house, it will naturally be inconvenient, but it doesn't matter if you go to Qujiang, and you happen to be close to your future sisters-in-law." β
"It's still my mother's thoughtfulness." Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile, "I just thought of inviting Sister Gu, but I forgot Seventh Brother's fiancΓ©e." β
"Although the little lady of the Ding family is not your sister-in-law, she is always a cousin-in-law, so it is not good for you to ask Panniang to snub her." You Shi pointed to the 'girl' slowly, "Besides, Banniang will also go over when the time comes, you yourself and your sister-in-law are close, why don't you give her convenience?" And the marriage between the little lady of the Ding family and your seventh brother is still your second sister's matchmaker, by the way, your second sister and third sister have been busy these days and haven't come back, can you send the post over this time? β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Since it is the birthday of the third sister-in-law, how can there be a reason why my sisters don't give posts?" He added, "I've been in Chang'an for a few months, and the second and third sisters haven't seen each other once. β
You said lightly: "It is not necessarily that the host is so busy with the feed, it's just that your two brothers-in-law are not very presentable, and they can't help but watch it closely." β
"Huh?"
You had the intention to let the 'daughter' also be vigilant, and seeing Zhuo Zhaojie's curiosity, he continued to speak: "Your second sister is married to Ding Xing, the only son of the counselor Ding Man, although Ding Man's official position is only the fifth grade, but this dynasty is a heavy counselor, and Ding Man is in the prime of life and talented......" Her voice was low, "The saint is old, this Ding Man is the person who the saint wants to leave to the prince, so he has been pressing his official position, and he is afraid of chilling his heart, so he gave it to the counselor, and the holy will in the middle is not difficult to guess, However, one of the reasons why your second aunt made up her mind to marry your second sister is that this Ding Man is very affectionate, and he is very affectionate with his wife, and Mrs. Yang is also a generous person, so it will not only be your second aunt, but our family all feel that Ding Xing can't be wrong since he has such parents, who would have thought that this kid would be the opposite of his father! β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Ah, others are not good? β
"Your second sister has been through the 'door' for less than three years, and the second son has not been born, so she has two sons and a 'daughter', what do you say?" You said, "One of the 'women' is your second sister who came back to live in the summer, so he took advantage of the gap and got started, and the biological mother of the 'girl' in the middle is still the person next to your second sister...... made your second aunt so angry that she came back to life, and then told your second sister not to come back if there was no major matter, even if she came back, she had to drag Ding Xing well, lest he be accepted again in a blink of an eye! β
"Is that third brother-in-law also such a person?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked in surprise.
You shook his head: "Your third brother-in-law is not like Ding Xuan, his 'temperament' is a bit like your fourth uncle, old-fashioned and pedantic, and he prefers several brothers who Guan Wenying even has concubines, and there are quite a few people with bad conduct and good life, and the concubine is not worry-free, where can Guan Wenying's person who can only study to death cope with it?" Your third sister is not at ease, and your third sister's biological mother has passed away, so she doesn't come back much. β
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly wrote down the situation of the two sisters, thinking that if the two cousins had to leave the table early, he must not stay longer.
You asked Zhuo Zhaojie about other arrangements, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and she just mentioned some subsections, but suddenly remembered again: "Are there many posts?" β
"Yes." Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly asked, "But who have I forgotten?" β
"Huan Lang came north to join the teacher - Dr. Guozijian Fu 'Jing' was a student of Cui Shanchang twenty years ago, how can there be no children and 'daughters' under his knees now? Huan Lang has also been to the Fu family a few times in the past few days, it seems that there is a little lady in the Fu family who has not yet left the cabinet, and she is about the same age as you, so you will send someone to send a post in a while. You thought about it for a while, and said, "Lanlingfang also sent Zhang, Bai Zihua can't return if he doesn't return, it's always a respect for the Lin family." β
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "I'm going to write a post...... By the way, in that case, what about the Jiang family? β
You nodded: "It's all for Zhang, Jiang Fufeng is still recuperating in our family now, from your eldest aunt and uncle, they are all relatives, although they didn't have much contact before, but now it's different." β
This difference is not only that Jiang Fufeng is now in a relationship with Sifangli, but also because of the dispute between the two county kings before, the Jiang family is neutral, and not only will the people who sent the post not come, but they will be afraid and resentful.
Zhuo Zhaojie was busy and wrote it down again.
In this way, on the nineteenth, the heavenly prince was not beautiful, and it rained early in the morning, Ah Xing woke up Zhuo Zhaojie early and told her the news, Zhuo Zhaojie was taken aback, picked up his long hair casually, and asked someone to open the window to take a look, and sure enough, a dark and swarthy cold and wet outside rushed in, and he could hear the silver bell hanging under the eaves ringing gently.
Zhuo Zhaojie is the first time to '' a banquet, although it is not a big banquet, but after all, it is looking forward to a smooth process, I don't want to have the third lady oppose it in the garden, and I changed the venue in a hurry, and now it is a rainy day, it is not easy for everyone to travel, even if there is a carriage, you can also bring a good dress for changing, in the end it is not a symbol of success.
She sighed and said, "Then I'll get up, lest it rain and be late." β
Ah Xing hurriedly called in the early autumn and others to serve Zhuo Zhaojie to freshen up and change clothes, originally Zhuo Zhaojie had already chosen today's dress, but since it was raining, after thinking about it, he temporarily changed into a lighter dress, so as not to rain a miserable red and light green, and the originally planned bright 'colorful' dress was dazzling.
When he arrived at Nianci Hall like this, He's was already waiting, and when he saw Zhuo Zhaojie, he smiled: "This time, I can wronged Qi Niang to '' me." β
"Sister-in-law's words are out of sight, don't think I'm stupid and it's the first time I've 'got' this, it's good not to be thoughtful enough." Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this time for the marriage of the seventh brother next month, I temporarily changed the place, sister-in-law, don't be annoyed that my preparations are not neat." β
Heshi said: "Qilang is a lifelong thing, since I have to focus on him first - in fact, Qi Niang personally worked for me, I am already flattered, speaking of which, I am afraid that my mother will annoy me these days." β
You Shi liked such a scene of harmony and closeness of his sister-in-law, and he knew that He's must have something to do, so he deliberately answered: "Okay, what am I annoying you about?" β
"Mother, please think about it, Qi Niang used to foster her grandfather's house for more than ten years, and only returned to Chang'an this year, her father and mother are not pity, and she has not asked Qi Niang to host such a banquet for her father and mother, but first called her daughter-in-law 'woman' to take the lead, and her daughter-in-law 'woman' is not proud and frightened?" He's laughed 'Yin' and 'Yin', she was originally born dignified, and today she specially wore a new cluster of begonia red oriole pattern placket with wide sleeves, moon white chebula, tied with colorful silk to gather 'flower' palace silk, tied with a tulip skirt, and dressed up very brightly 'glamorous'.
In contrast, Zhuo Zhaojie, who wears ultramarine tulip embroidered 'cross' collar and wide sleeves, and is tied with jade 'color' and 'four seasons' flower' pattern woven gold embroidered Luo skirt, is beautiful and natural, and the two sisters-in-law are very harmonious, this harmonious appearance makes You very happy, and he said: "My birthday with your father is in the second half of the year, since you are in front, you should call her first, which is also your blessing." β
After a few jokes, the people who were sent to the big room and the third room before came to report that the second young lady Luo's, Zhuo Jiangniang, Zhuo 'Yu' Niang and Zhuo Zhaoshu were all right, and Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo Zhaojie were busy saying goodbye to You's, and went to the intersection to meet their cousins together, and the five of them went to Shen's to ask An to tell him about the 'door'.
Shen kindly approved as usual, and also gave He's a gift, and then said: "Your little aunt has been lacking for a few days, so she won't go out, and she will go back to the fourth room to make up for it." β
He Shi hurriedly said: "Grandmother, whether you are polite or not, it is all a family, where can the granddaughter-in-law care about this, but I don't know that the little aunt is important?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie and the others were also busy condolences to Zhuo Fangdian, and Shen's eyebrows were tired, and he smiled faintly, and said: "That's it, if you don't care, you can go to Qujiang." β
Having said that, since he cares, he has to bring it up to take a look at Zhuo Fangdian, but Shen Shi heard the words but 'revealed' a trace of complexity, and said: "It doesn't matter to her, but you, since the guests are in Manxiangyuan, you can't go over, so be careful and neglect!" β
He and Shen exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and then they went out of the upper room, and their aunts and sisters-in-law each boarded the car and headed towards Qujiang.
Xu is because of the rain, usually bustling Qujiang today is especially few, in front of the Manxiang Garden got off the car, looking at the sparse tourists around, a group of deserted and Manxiang Garden dressed up in the 'flowers' cluster of contrast, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, He's immediately noticed, and said with a smile: "It's a loss of such a rain today, now this season, although not as good as the beginning of the 'spring' Spring's rain is as expensive as oil, but the rain in early summer is also unique, the best is like this, many people are troublesome and don't go out of the 'door', this Qujiang seems to be a special trip to us to make a 'flower' garden today. β
Hearing this, everyone laughed, Zhuo Zhaojie also looked at her sister-in-law with emotion, the first time she did something, she always thought about everything, but just caught up with the rain, although each family invited has a carriage, but it is always an inconvenience, I am worried that because of the rain will make the banquet cold, He's said this, but his family first became lively.
The people of Manxiangyuan had already dressed up neatly in advance to welcome the 'door', and at this moment they were busy welcoming everyone in - this Manxiangyuan was actually the place where Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie walked and asked for a red 'medicine' room last time, with a total of four floors up and down, which is higher than the oblique Huixue Building, but the second floor is not as transparent as the Huixue Building because it is divided into private rooms, but the third and fourth floors are opened up to the special 'door' for banquets.
He's birthday, Zhuo Zhaojie by the way to Chang'an since the little lady he knew in addition to the Wen family also invited, You later added the Fu family, and then the Jiang family, more people than Wen Wuniang that time, is the arrangement of the Zhuo family and the last time the Wen family in the Xue Lou on the change, the third floor and the fourth floor of the banquet, the second floor of the private room to rest and sober up or talk alone, the ground floor to the next person.
Because this time it was You's personal message to practice for the little 'girl', He's entered the 'door' and Luo and others went up to the top floor with a grin, and a group of sisters-in-law left Zhuo Zhaojie to listen to things on the third floor, and said: "Today is bothering Qi Niang, we can all have a relaxed day without doing anything, which is really a blessing." β
"Sixth Sister and Eighth Niang have stayed to help me welcome guests!" Zhuo Zhaojie said angrily, "I have invited a lot of guests today, don't you really help me?" β
Zhuo 'Yu' Niang and Zhuo Zhaoshu both laughed, and said: "The Chenguang written on the post is still an hour at the earliest, and people won't come too early, wouldn't it be embarrassing if we came late?" Let's listen to the places first, let's go up and see the scenery first...... You're a toiler today! β
