Chapter 160: Spring (3)
On the morning of the last day of the year, Jiang Wanmu dressed up neatly, walked to the room and looked at the golden hairpin on the table again, nine flowers bloomed is the most beautiful blessing of the Ning Dynasty, it has always been given by relatives, she has never received such a blessing. Chu Xiao and his wife wanted to give her such a gift, but they were worried that it would cause trouble for her, so they could only exchange the blessing for three gifts from the palace.
Jiang Wanmu's hair was bound with a jade leaf crown, and a hollow leafless flower golden hairpin was attached to her hair. She walked to the table, picked up the golden hairpin, and thought about it and put it on the other side. After Jiang Wanmu woke up in the morning, Lian Hao was no longer in the room. Lian Haori is accustomed to getting up early, he is not like the son of a prince and nobleman, he is similar to a prince and nobleman in other aspects, and he is especially intolerant of others disobeying his wishes.
After Jiang Wanmu got up, she saw that he slept on the couch and cleaned up everything, and then remembered that this year had reached the last day, and tomorrow would be a new year and a new day. After Jiang Wanmu had breakfast, she walked to the hall with the two housekeepers and two girls. Because it was the last year in the palace, Jiang Wanmu was not like the previous two years, always deliberately letting Ji Yan dodge and not stay in front of people for long. She deliberately brought Ji Yan with her this year, she thinks that after a woman has seen the inner flowers, she will not be easily confused by the appearance of empty prosperity, and will know how to cherish ordinary days more.
Jiang Wanmu's arrival in the hall was not the latest, and neither the second master nor his wife had arrived. As soon as Jiang Wanmu appeared at the door of the hall, the lady in charge next to Mrs. Shizi immediately greeted her, and said to her with a smile: "The third lady and master have something to tell you." Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes and looked at the four people on the main seat, laughing and laughing with each other, and no one paid attention to the door. And next to the first position under their main seat, the prince and his wife sat there, and the prince looked at the lady behind him with a smile
When Jiang Wanmu stepped forward, when Mrs. Shizi was about to stand up, she hurriedly took two steps forward to say hello: "Hello, Mrs. Shizi." Thou hast something to tell me. At this time, Shizi had already stretched out his hand, pressed the frame in which Mrs. Shizi had risen, and whispered, "You have been busy all morning, so you should sit and talk." As soon as Shizi's voice fell, a girl handed over a stool, and Jiang Wanmu sat down obediently. Mrs. Shizi said to her with a smile: "Wanmu, this morning, we heard a great happy event, and the second brother and sister are happy. ”
Jiang Wanmu immediately knew the truth about the late arrival of the second master and his wife, Lian Xuan and his wife had been married for some years, and the relationship between the husband and wife was still good, but the second lady had never been pregnant. A woman has her own children, and such a great joy is naturally rejoicing to whoever listens. Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Congratulations to the second lady." Mrs. Shizi looked at her sincerely, looked at her with a smile and said, "Wanmu, thank you and your second siblings for reaching out to help me take care of the kitchen during the New Year's Festival." This year, I can only trouble you more, those things, after meeting the guests in a while, the second brother and sister will talk about it in detail with you. ”
Jiang Wanmu had to nod her head and take the next errand, and when she looked at the steward and stepped forward to speak to Mrs. Shizi, she took a few steps back and left. She walked to Lian Hao's side and sat down, and heard him ask in a low voice, "Sister-in-law has something to look for you?" Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes to look at him and nodded, "The second lady is happy, the kitchen matter, when the New Year is busy, Mrs. Shizi said that I will help watch it for a few days for the time being." Lian Hao looked at Jiang Wanmu a few times, then turned his head to the two women in charge and said, "You two help Mrs. to watch more, I don't understand those trivial things when I look at her." The women in charge nodded in response.
Lian Hao turned his head and said to Jiang Wanmu: "After you and your second sister-in-law got a pair of cards, ask her to ask someone around you to follow you for the past few days, and you can't do some things, so let that person ask your sister-in-law." Jiang Wanmu originally planned to do this, she followed the second lady in the past, but it was just a favor from Mrs. Shizi, and she knew not to get involved in those things. And this time, I thought it was because the second lady was in a hurry to have something happy, so I had to point her to the top. Jiang Wanmu felt that this was a good opportunity, she could learn something by the way.
Jiang Wanmu lowered her eyebrows and nodded pleasantly: "Yes, I listen to the words of the third master, and there are some things that cannot be decided, so I will ask Mrs. Shizi for guidance." Lian Hao listened to Jiang Wanmu's words, and always felt that there was something wrong in her words, and he didn't have time to think about it. At this time, someone who had reported came in and said: "Zhenjiang even ten sons have come to visit their relatives." Lian Hao looked at the door of the hall like everyone else, Jiang Wanmu's eyes swept over the emotional expression of the old prince on the main seat, and saw the old princess wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
The prince and his wife were as dignified and generous as before, and after exchanging glances, the prince and his wife looked at the door of the hall with a smile at the same time. Jiang Wanmu swept the people in the hall, and most of her curious expressions were on her face. A pair of young men and women in red brocade robes appeared at the door of the hall, with beaming expressions. When they had entered the hall, they saw the man seated on the throne, and the two of them ran there like Tilian, and when they were near, the man fell down first, and the woman followed. The mats that the girls were holding in their hands had not yet had time to be placed.
After the man kowtowed three times at the old prince and the old princess, he raised his slightly red forehead and said loudly: "Zhenjiang Lian's grandson Lian Duan and his granddaughter-in-law Lian Zhang have seen two ancestors. I wish the two ancestors a long and healthy life" and the woman also kowtowed six times, but fortunately there was no knock, and when she raised her head, her forehead was also red. The old prince and the old princess said excitedly: "Don't break your head, you guys get up quickly." Naturally, the steward and the housekeeper woman beside them hastened to lift the newlyweds.
The man shook his head and refused, saying, "My nephew and my niece and daughter-in-law have never met my uncle and aunt, so how can I get up." He moved his body directly and kowtowed to the prince and princess who were sitting on the side, in exchange for the prince and princess and said, "Ang'er, you husband and wife quickly help up your brother and wife." When the husband and wife came over, the husband and wife got up quickly, bent down to the prince and his wife and said, "The younger brother and his wife, how dare you let the brother and sister-in-law support you." ”
Jiang Wanmu looked at the prince and pulled the man to ask affectionately, and Mrs. Shizi was as close to the woman as a family in an instant. Lian Xuan and his wife quietly entered the hall at this time, and sat down at the empty table in front of Lian Hao, Lian Xuan's eyes were full of smiles, and his wife had joy and shyness on her face. The prince and his wife retreated to their seats at this time, and Lianduan and his wife were summoned to the side by the old prince and his wife to ask. In the hall, some people from the uncle's generation who came early also stood up and gathered around to inquire about the news.
The steward beside the old prince instructed the girls to add a table under the old prince and his wife, and sat there generously drinking tea. Lian Hao whispered to Lian Xuan to introduce the new Lian brother, and the second lady sat aside with a bright smile. Jiang Wanmu sighed, Lian Duan, the husband and wife were so young and exquisite. She felt that her two lives combined, not half of the two people in front of her would come to trouble. Such a fish in water's communication skills made her have to show admiration for these two people.
The eyes of the people in the hall swept to the newcomer. And the attention of the newcomer was all spent on the four people on the main seat. When the girls put two washers in front of the main seat, and the people in the hall quieted down, this is the main event. Lian Duan and his wife left their positions, both knelt on the washer, and the two gently kowtowed to the old prince and his wife on the main seat, and the husband and wife reached out to take the tea offered by the girls, and saluted with both hands: "Please drink the newcomer's tea from the ancestors." ”
The old prince took the cup of tea in Lian Duan's hand, took a sip and said with a smile: "Reward." He took a box from the table, handed it to Lian Duan, and said, "Your grandfather said that you are good at writing, and I will give you an inkstone, hoping that you will go further." The old princess took the tea of Lian Duan Niangzi, took a sip, took a bracelet from her wrist, put it in the box placed aside, and said, "Tim is happy, and you will have a noble son early." The prince and his wife each had a reward for the two couples, and the girls who followed the two took the reward from the master with a smile.
Jiang Wanmu looked at the couple and listened to the introduction of the steward beside the old prince, saluted the uncles and couples present one by one, offered tea and listened to the words of blessing. The two of them followed the old steward with a smile on their faces, and after turning the other side, they came to the prince and his wife again, and took the gift they gave to the newlyweds. Jiang Wanmu looked at the gifts given by Lian Xuan and his wife, she reached out and touched the nine golden hairpins on her head, and after the gloom in her eyes, she had a look of sudden realization.
It turned out that this blessing was not for herself, but for herself to borrow flowers and offer Buddha gifts, she almost made herself amorous, mistakenly thinking that Lian Hao had a heart for her.
When the couple walked in front of them, Jiang Wanmu's expression was already light, she took the newlywed's tea, took off the golden hairpin on her head with her middle hand, put it in the delicate hand of the newlywed, and said with a smile: "Grow old together, give birth to a noble son early." The new daughter-in-law accepted her gift, and when she heard the words of blessing, she turned to her husband and smiled, and they smiled and walked to the lower seat.
In the laughter and sound of the hall, Jiang Wanmu sat as if she was watching a play, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and her eyebrows and eyes were meekly lowered. Lian Hao looked at the woman in front of him, and when she gave away the gift he had bought for her, there was an obvious look of annoyance in his eyes, and he turned to hide the look in his eyes, and laughed brightly with everyone. And the four people sitting on the main seat, since they saw Jiang Wanmu's generosity, the four of them felt for the first time that this woman still had something to appreciate, they exchanged glances and nodded to each other in approval.
Jiang Wanmu listened to the joyful voice in the hall, and raised her eyes to see the two pots held by the two girls behind the newcomer, piled up with gifts. She remembered that the first time she had left the hall empty-handed, she thought that the palace was not in the habit of giving gifts to the newlyweds. It turns out that this is not the case, and the people of the palace are naturally too lazy to use superficial efforts to outsiders who do not need to be polite. She listened to the laughter in the hall, and remembered the first time she came, the hall was full of people looking at her silently. Jiang Wanmu sighed lightly, and in the joy of the hall, her light sigh disappeared like smoke immediately, only Lian Hao vaguely heard her light sigh, but when he turned around, he saw her indifferent smile.
