Chapter Forty-Six: The Hundredth Birthday Banquet
At this time, it is the golden autumn, the courtyard is full of chrysanthemums, and the banquet is set up among the flowers. People with status and status all sat at the top, and the sons and ladies of the clan were freer, laughing and enjoying the flowers at the same time.
Liu Yuyao is naturally the best among them, she is surrounded and touted by sisters of the same race, so unexpected. Because of the identity of Crown Princess Xiao Qingzhu, she was not allowed to leave the table this time, but gave her a good position. It's just that she's cold and lonely here, and there's not even a person to talk to.
But Xiao Qingzhu is also happy like this, she hates being false and wronged with people the most. At this time, the nurse took out the two children, and today the two children wore red jackets with brocade faces, which looked very pleasing and cute.
"Childe and Miss are here to say hello to everyone!"
Everyone exhaled hello, and the patriarch of the clan stood up, and he smiled: "Our old Liu family has finally added another man, which is something to be happy about." Prime Minister Liu, don't play dumb riddles, tell us the child's name!"
"Yes, yes!" echoed the clansmen.
Liu Huairen stood up with a spring breeze on his face: "Okay, okay, but shouldn't we give me a noodle and drink a sip of wine first?"
"Okay!" the great patriarch took the lead in raising his cup, and the clansmen stood up one after another: "Congratulations!"
Everyone drank the wine in the cup, at this time, a small guy came up with two blank gold-inlaid plaques, Liu Chengxiang dipped in pen and ink, and wrote "Liu Yuping" and "Liu Yu'an" on it.
Xiao Qingzhu looked at it coldly, and said in his heart that this Prime Minister Liu Cheng had opened his mind, and the word "peace" was really suitable for his child.
The premise is that it has to be his child.
"Good!"
Everyone in the clan applauded, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng proudly put down his pen, and he instructed: "Hang these two small plaques on the street, let passers-by read them at will, the more people who read them, the better the children can feed." ”
At this time, a clansman coaxed: "The child's big name is here, what is the name of the small name?"
The patriarch smiled: "You don't know, as soon as these two children were born, I asked Mr. to settle it." The nicknames of these two children were just casually named by someone with a low status at the table today, and they could be suppressed. ”
People with low status?
Coincidentally, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Qingzhu. Xiao Qingzhu was calm, but some of the children of the clan started to talk about it.
"How can such a person be worthy of being at the table?"
"She is not our Liu family at all, she is a wild species. ”
"It's just, I think it's a shame!"
Liu Yuyao laughed in a low voice: "Don't be angry, this is deliberately arranged." is to tell her that even if she becomes the crown princess, she is not worthy of sitting here!"
"Hee-hee-ha-ha"
The ridicule was endless, but Xiao Qingzhu turned a deaf ear. She smiled and looked at Prime Minister Liu Cheng: "What, do you want me to give the child a nickname?"
Prime Minister Liu Cheng didn't dare to speak, now that his fourth daughter has the support of the prince behind him!
However, the people in the clan have always lived far away and did not know about it, and the patriarch smiled: "Liu Zhaodi, you can be wronged and give the child a name!"
Xiao Qingzhu said lightly: "Okay, let's serve the pen and ink." ”
The little guy brought up two small plaques, but these two plaques were inlaid with silver. Xiao Qingzhu snorted and wrote down two names.
Maomao, Qingqing.
Xiao Qingzhu put down his pen and said with a smile: "I haven't gone to ethnic studies, and my culture is not high, these two are feasible?"
These two nicknames are catchy, the patriarch didn't pay attention to the meaning at all, he nodded again and again, and specially instructed: "Hang these two plaques a little higher, so that more people can see it!"
The crowd didn't have time to think about it, they just applauded. Only Aunt Xue was so angry that she blushed.
Xiao Qingzhu was secretly proud. Thinking about Aunt Xue's arrogant appearance yesterday, it's not bad to add a block to her.
The patriarch smiled, "The names of the two children are also there. As the patriarch, I will give each of my two children a piece of family clothes, hoping that the two children will be safe and live a long life!"
As he spoke, he put two small coats made of 100 pieces of cloth on the two children's bodies. Mao Mao was more lively, he grabbed the colorful hundred clothes, eating and smiling, and seemed to be very happy.
Mrs. Liu also stood up: "I, as a mother, will give each of the two children a golden lock!"
After saying that, she personally put the golden lock on the necks of her two children.
Xiao Qingzhu handed out two sets of small clothes, which looked like big road goods. Prime Minister Liu frowned, and even Mrs. Liu glanced at her contemptuously.
"This material can also be used to make clothes to wear?"
Liu Yuyao snorted coldly: "An adopted daughter is an adopted daughter, and even the material is inferior!" As she spoke, she also took out her small clothes: "Quickly throw away those two sets." Wear mine, my material is good. ”
Xiao Qingzhu looked at the clothes in the sandalwood box and said with a smile: "Why didn't I see what's good?"
"You don't have much knowledge, and it's normal that you can't see it. Liu Yuyao said proudly, "This is a little tiger embroidered by me with my own hands to buy brocade from Shudi at a great price." It's warm and breathable, 10,000 times stronger than yours!"
Xiao Qingzhu shook his fan and said with a smile: "Oh, what are the flowers embroidered by my sister's own hands? As far as I know, my sister has never worked needlework, and her clumsy stitching skills have not ruined the brocade in vain." ”
Liu Yuyao said coldly: "You are clumsy in stitching! My embroidery is one of the best in the capital." It's like you, you can't buy the material well, and you don't embroider the embroidery yourself, so you don't have any sincerity at all. ”
Xiao Qingzhu smiled: "Is it sincere? Sister embroidered the tiger into a cat, then it is called insincerity!"
Liu Yuyao said angrily: "You just embroidered the tiger into a cat!"
The ladies in the clan couldn't stand it anymore, and they said one after another: "Sister Yuyao, you just let her have a long experience, and save her cold words here!"
"That's it!"
When Liu Yuyao heard this, she proudly took out her little clothes and shook them open. At this moment, I only heard a "pop", and a small notebook fell to the ground.
"What is this?" Liu Yuyao frowned.
Xiao Qingzhu was close, and she picked up the small notebook one step ahead: "I didn't expect there to be an unexpected gift! Aunt Xue, look at how caring the eldest lady is!" As she spoke, she handed the small notebook to Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the notebook: "This is ...... What?" She flipped through it casually and picked out a reading: "On the sixth day of the first month of the first month of the first month of the year of Jiashen, I bought ten catties of white fly powder and handed it to Mama Ma, spending three hundred taels ......."
Mrs. Liu froze as if she heard a thunderbolt from the sky. Everyone looked at each other: white fly powder? Isn't that a notorious chronic poison? Who would buy so much white fly powder?
With an "ah" sound, Aunt Xue was so frightened that she threw the account book on the ground: "Master, this is a murder account!"
Liu Huairen's face was pale, and he bent down to pick up the account book. At this moment, Mrs. Liu pounced like crazy.
"Give me that thing!"
