At this time, although it is already summer time in the capital, the climate in the capital is still cool and comfortable.

Up and down the Zhu family, there are lights everywhere, and it is festive.

A group of red-clad maids hurried to the front hall as fast as they could, all holding trays full of gifts in their hands, and the sound of hurried footsteps disturbed the quiet of the morning.

Today is a good day for the Zhu family.

The old man was eighty-six years old, and the old man and the old man specially took him from his hometown to the capital for a big birthday.

The eldest grandmother has been in charge of it inside and out for nearly a month, in order to buy a decent and beautiful birthday banquet for the old man.

After breakfast, Shen Yuechen looked at the menu handed over by Chunxi and frowned slightly.

Chunxi observed the words and said, "Miss, this is the restaurant that has been changed early in the morning, and it has just been sent over, if you are not satisfied, the slave will let them change it." ”

Shen Yuechen closed the menu and gently rested it on the table, and said in a tone mixed with a hint of displeasure: "It's not that I'm not dissatisfied, but I can't do it at all." Take it back and ask them to do it again, and send it to me in an hour. ”

Chunxi was stunned when she heard this, and said with a difficult face: "Miss, it's been this hour, do it again, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

There are still three hours to go before the feast, and the menu has not yet been decided, in case of delay, what will be used to entertain the guests at that time?

Shen Yuechen looked at her and said, "Today is a big day at home, we gave a deposit of two thousand taels to Hehuan Restaurant, but they brought such a menu that can be seen everywhere, how can I be satisfied?" Chunxi, you have to understand that the guests we are entertaining today are either rich or expensive, so we must strive for perfection and not be the slightest bit lazy, otherwise it will be a major event that loses etiquette. You go and tell Boss He, let him use his brain more, don't use his brain as soon as the silver arrives, if today's wine and food are not done well, I will personally go over tomorrow and smash the golden sign of his century-old store. ”

If you can't do the business of a rich person, wouldn't you be asking for your own hardships and waiting for others to smash his signboard.

Chunxi received the words, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly turned around and went out.

Shen Yuechen took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "If Mother Wu's health is not good, where will it be the turn of those outsiders to interfere in today's affairs." Alas! ”

If Wu's mother is old and in poor spirits, with her experience, she will definitely be able to come up with a menu that makes people shine.

As soon as her words fell, a familiar chuckle came from outside: "Why is Madame sighing?" ”

Shen Yuechen raised her head, only to see her husband Zhu Jintang walking in leisurely, with a faint smile on his face.

"Uncle, it's so leisurely, seeing that the concubine is so busy hitting the back of the head, I won't come to help."

Because it was a festive day, Zhu Jintang deliberately wore a crimson robe, which made his face ruddy and his complexion excellent.

"With a good wife like this, I naturally have a reason to be lazy."

She has always made the decision about family affairs, and he rarely interferes. Husband and wife for many years, the two have already formed a tacit understanding.

Shen Yuechen glanced at her with a smile, and randomly ordered the little maid to pour tea for the uncle.

However, Zhu Jintang directly reached out and took her cup and drank it.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen smiled again: "The head of the dignified family actually grabbed other people's tea to eat, and he was not afraid of people watching your jokes." ”

Zhu Jintang first drank the warm tea in his hand, smashed the taste, and asked, "Why is this tea sweet?" ”

The little maid next to her couldn't help but snicker, and when she saw that the eldest grandmother gave her a look, she replied: "Uncle Hui, this is the flower and fruit tea made by the eldest grandmother, and honey is added to it, so the entrance is sweet." ”

Shen Yuechen couldn't help but laugh, "This is a good thing to nourish yin and nourish your face, it's good for you to try it, uncle." ”

Zhu Jintang looked at her, stretched out a finger and scratched the tip of her nose, and said, "I, the head of the family, can make you a joke even if I drink a cup of tea, which is really getting more and more imposing." ”

"Uncle is putting on a show outside, that's as it should be. However, it is best to talk and laugh at home. Shen Yuechen held his palm as he spoke, and said, "Zhu Zhu, I told me yesterday that I would prepare a generous gift for my ancestors, and you can accompany me to take a look, okay?" ”

Zhu Jintang nodded, opened his palm, held her hand in the warm palm, and said, "Okay, that girl is weird all day long, I also want to see, what is she thinking about again?" ”

After the two finished speaking, they got up side by side and walked on each other.

Behind him, he followed three or five serving maids, his eyes followed quietly, and the master who walked hand in hand couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The uncle and grandmother have been married for almost 20 years, but the relationship between the two is as good as a newlywed couple, which is really enviable.

In the splendid garden, a pretty figure in a pink dress is walking back and forth lightly.

"Zhu Zhu."

Shen Yuechen called her.

Zhu Zhu turned his head in response, and when he saw that his father and mother were coming, he immediately snuggled up to them affectionately.

"Dad, mother, why are you here?"

Zhu Jintang looked at her almost completely similar face to Shen Yuechen with pity, and said with a smile: "What are you doing in the past two days?" He didn't even eat breakfast with us. ”

Shen Yuechen didn't rush to complain, just took out a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on the tip of her nose, and scolded softly: "I ran out early in the morning and sweated, and I didn't look like a girl at all." What are you busy with, and you don't show it to us? ”

Zhu Zhu smiled childishly, put a finger between his lips, and pretended to be mysterious: "I prepared a surprise for the old ancestor, because it is a secret, I can't say it yet." ”

Zhu Jintang stroked her cheek dotingly, and reminded: "Joy is joy, don't make too much trouble, your great-grandfather is an old man after all, and he can't stand too jubilation." ”

Zhu Zhu tilted his head and rubbed it on his shoulder twice, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter is measured, and my daughter will definitely give my great-grandfather the best and best gift in the world." ”

Zhu Jintang looked at her, shook his head and smiled: "You girl, every time you say it nicely, I am the most worried about you." ”

"Daddy didn't know about his daughter's gift at all, and his daughter really prepared it this time." She frowned and grumbled softly.

Zhu Jintang was willing to really make her aggrieved, hurriedly held her daughter's soft little hand, and said with a pleasant face: "Okay, okay, Dad won't say it, Dad believes you, you can just prepare." ”

Zhu Jintang has two sons and three daughters, and now they have all grown up, starting a family, marrying a family, marrying a family, and marrying a family.

Although there are many people who propose marriage, no matter how good the other party's family background is, Zhu Jintang can't look down on any of them, because he really can't bear this baby daughter, he has always regarded her as the pearl of his palm, and after so many years, how can he be willing to give her to others.

Zhu Zhu and her mother Shen Yuechen are like carved out of a mold, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle temperament, but in fact, they have a tenacity that is soft inside and strong outside, and they don't admit defeat easily, and they are a little small and true.

Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen were reluctant to let her marry too early, thinking that it would be good to keep her for two more years.

After another hour, the newly made menu was finally delivered to Shen Yuechen on time.

This time, the menu is finally beautifully done.

The same materials, different collocations and practices, can also see different grades, so inappropriate places must be changed.

After Zhu Jintang read the menu, he looked at Shen Yuechen opposite, and said with emotion: "Madame has really put a lot of effort into it this time." ”

Shen Yuechen naturally heard the meaning of his words, and smiled slightly: "The concubine has lived in the capital with the uncle for more than ten years, and the skills on the side are not good, but I still learned a lot from this ability to put on music." ”

Today is the big day of the Zhu family, and it is also the big day of the old man, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend it, and you have to greet the things on the scene, that is, to greet the faces of the guests, and also to the faces of the Zhu family.

After a month of careful preparation, Mr. Zhu's birthday banquet finally began ceremoniously.

The guests and carriages that came to congratulate came and went, and there was an endless stream. But all the characters who have a head and face in the capital, even if the person does not arrive, the gift is delivered.

The Zhu family is now a family that has been stained with the royal family. Zhu Qingming is a dignified horse master, both civil and military, and is highly valued by the saints, and I heard that he will soon be added to the rank of knight. Zhu Qingxuan is in high school, and he is supported by his eldest brother who is the master of the horse, and the future is naturally promising.

The old man Zhu, who was old, looked at the festivity and liveliness of this hall, and was in a good mood, and ate two glasses of wine in a row.

The old lady didn't stop him from thinking about his birthday today, but only asked people to change the pot of light wine for him.

Zhu Qingming took Princess An Ning home to celebrate her birthday, which is undoubtedly the thing that everyone is looking forward to the most, and he really did not disappoint everyone, not only returned with the scenery, but also brought back a congratulatory gift from the Holy Emperor to the old man.

As for Princess An Ning, although she did not prepare any ingenious gifts, she brought good news to the Zhu family. That is, she is already pregnant, and the doctor has just diagnosed it.

The peace after getting married is indeed as the name suggests, and his temperament has slowly changed a lot, not only to his husband and gentleness, but also to his elders with respect and filial piety, and his body has no past coquettish temperament.

When the old man heard the good news, he almost burst into tears with excitement, and tremblingly grabbed the old lady's hand and said, "Four generations are in the same house, this is a great blessing." ”

The old lady also had red eyes, and muttered to herself: "This is really blessed by the Buddha." ”

Zhu Qingxuan gave the old man a picture of Baishou with his own handwriting, and the old man looked happy, and immediately ordered someone to hang it in the hall, which was quite show-off.

Although Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao are both married and married, they still go home with their husbands to congratulate them and prepare intimate gifts for the old man.

As for Zhu Zhu's surprise, it is natural to save it for the end.

After the banquet, Zhu Zhu personally helped the old man to the garden, only to see that the garden was brightly lit, and everywhere was full of seven-star lamps that symbolized longevity.

Each lamp is made by Zhu Zhu himself, and there is also a blessing for the longevity and health of his family, and the words are sincere.

Seeing this, everyone applauded and congratulated, and was amazed.

At the moment of the beautiful scenery, Shen Yuechen couldn't help but secretly turn her back and wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, feeling infinitely moved in her heart.

Seeing this, Zhu Jintang patted her shoulder: "It seems that our Zhu Zhu has really grown up." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's really sensible and distressing." ”

After speaking, she raised her eyes to look at the bright lights in the garden, slowly closed her eyes, folded her hands, and prayed silently: "The bright moon is above, the bright lights are in front, I Shen Yuechen is grateful to God for his kindness and love, so that I have this luck in this life, I Shen Yuechen is grateful, life is long, I only wish the years are quiet, the four seasons are safe, and the family and everything is prosperous." ”
