Chapter Seventy-Five: The Banquet (1)
I sat and wrote a post for a day, and my waist was stiff before it was finished.
The fifth day of the second month is a good day for feasting and drinking, there are several tables in the front yard and the back yard, and the male and female seats are separated, and the activities on the banquet are also different.
Now that Xu Ruyun has become the Duchess of the Kingdom, the affairs of the housekeeper in the house have fallen back to her. These days, I have to take care of Lu Ruqing and take care of housework, and my body has lost a lot.
Lu Ruqing felt sorry for his wife, so he personally begged Mrs. Lu to share some of the housekeeper's affairs.
Mrs. Lu hated iron and steel: "The daughter-in-law next to me can't wait to take care of the house early, no matter how tired and busy she is, she doesn't want to share power, but your daughter-in-law is different." ”
"The mother knows Yun Niang's temperament, she doesn't fight anything, and she won't complain, it's the son himself who feels sorry for her. In addition, when the third brother and sister are housekeepers, they keep the house in good order...... Ahem. ”
After saying such a long sentence at once, Lu Ruqing couldn't help coughing.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to say a few words."
This is not a difficult matter, Mrs. Lu called the three daughters-in-law over: "Since they are a family, there is no separate house now, and the three of you should help each other." Yun Niang can't come to the house, so the two of you will share some of the burden. ”
"My daughter-in-law understands." Both of them should go down.
"Yun Niang has been very dedicated to taking care of Ruqing over the years, and seeing that their husband and wife have a good relationship, I am also comforted...... It's just that I feel that my own kid is dragging down other girls. ”
After a few people dispersed, Mrs. Lu sighed.
Mother Zhou rarely objected to the old lady's words: "What about the old lady? When the uncle and the eldest lady said they were married, didn't they all say that they were a pair of wall people? And after so many years, although the uncle's body is weaker, isn't he wholeheartedly good to his wife? ”
Looking at other people's homes, how can there be such a long relationship?
"Providence is unpredictable." Old Madam Lu felt uncomfortable when she thought of her eldest son's illness.
A few days earlier, Shi Nianjiao asked people to clean up the Liuchun Pavilion, which is close to the pond and rockery of Lufu, built by the water, and has the best scenery.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the invited ladies came to the door with congratulatory gifts.
After He Shaoguang received this family, the next one came, and even several families came together, so busy that he was dizzy.
"Shaoguang!" Hearing Hai's overjoyed voice, several ladies thoughtfully said that she should hurry up and pick up her biological mother.
He Shaoguang was finally able to get out of the pile of ladies, grabbed Hai's forearm, and said affectionately: "Mother and who are you from?" ”
When Hai saw his daughter, he wanted to talk well, but in front of so many people, he still held back and said reservedly: "Your father has never liked to socialize, and I came with your eldest brother." ”
Seeing that several ladies looked at them curiously, Hai replied with a proper smile.
"Which lady of the house is this, so intimate with Second Lady Lu?"
A new daughter-in-law didn't know anyone, so she covered her mouth and whispered to her mother-in-law.
"It should be her mother, the housemother of the He family." Her mother-in-law hadn't seen it either, but she heard Fang Cai's "mother".
"This Mrs. He is dignified and generous." There are also ladies who see Hai's temperament calmly and have a good impression.
"That's right, if it weren't for Mrs. He's own good rules, how could she raise such a well-behaved daughter? It can be seen that family background is secondary, and family style is the most important. ”
A silver-haired old lady in good spirits said.
Many ladies around agreed with this, this is Xue Ran's grandmother, Mrs. Xue, she and Mrs. Xue were also invited, and they came as friends of He Shaoguang.
But another sharp-faced lady of the same age as Mrs. Xue disagreed: "If people like us don't pay attention to family background when they marry, and it is up to the children and grandchildren's own will, then your family Erlang will bring back a common man at that time, are you willing to do it?" ”
Old Madam Xue's face did not change: "If the common people don't have bad habits, why not?" ”
Mrs. Xue was a little frightened when she heard this, afraid that Xue Ran would really bring back a folk girl for herself, and she would faint: "Mother! ”
"What are you afraid of?" Old Madam Xue glanced at her, "Isn't it just talking?" ”
The sharp-faced lady covered her mouth and was happy: "Old Sister Xue should comfort Yuzheng's daughter-in-law first." ”
This title is not respectful, the two of them are obviously a generation apart, but they want to be called sisters by her, Old Madam Xue was expressionless, and she was very unhappy.
Mrs. Xue, who was called "Yuzheng's daughter-in-law", was also very displeased, her cultivation was not in place without her mother-in-law, and this displeasure was evident on her face.
Everyone saw it and realized in their hearts: this Zhu Wanhua is not a good one, he married Dali Siqing as a continuation, and he was still a two-year-old man who could be his father...... coaxed Dali Temple to turn around, relying on his youth, his arrogance was very arrogant.
Zhu didn't care about everyone's opinions, she asked the maid to take out the gifts she had prepared, and handed them to the steward with a smile in front of the three daughters-in-law of the Lu family.
Everyone was concerned, and He Shaoguang and the three of them politely smiled back at her.
"Yo, this is Lu's second daughter-in-law, right? He looks well-behaved, and he looks much more blessed than the one in front of him. You need to pay more attention to your body, especially when you're pregnant......"
Zhu's nonsense was as bad as ever, and everything that shouldn't be said poured out, without lowering his voice at all, and the people at the table heard it.
This offended both families at once.
The Jiang family came today is Jiang Ningyu's aunt Ma, that is, Jiang Ninglu's mother, Jiang Ninglu also came, and both of them looked bad.
Especially Ma's, she put down the tea cup in her hand and slammed it on the mahogany table with a "bang", attracting the attention of the people around her.
It may be that the Zhu family noticed that the Jiang family was also there, and said hello curtly, and finally restrained a little.
He Shaoguang's smiling face did not change, but he just asked his subordinates to change a new tea for Ma's.
"Mother, what are you watching her do?"
Jiang Ninglu didn't dare to let Ma know about the festival between the two, so Ma still thinks that his daughter doesn't know He Shaoguang.
"In the past, Mother Wu, who was next to your lobby sister, became the steward of Brother Yan'er. Wu's mother wrote a few days ago, saying that she was caught by the Lu family and punished with needlework. ”
Ma wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and his expression was as usual, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"Mother Wu?" Jiang Ninglu twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while before she remembered, "What did she do?" ”
"It doesn't matter what you commit." Ma Shi stared at He Shaoguang's back: "It's okay for Sister Zhen to follow her, Brother Yan is your cousin's child, and he has also been cultivated by the Lu family to eat inside and out." ”
The children of the Jiang family, in less than a year, actually recognized others as their mothers.
If the Jiang family and the Lu family were still doing face-saving work in the past, since their proposal to let Lu Xiaowen remarry Jiang Ninglu was rejected, Aunt Jiang's methods were exposed again and she was sent to Zhuangzi.
Now the two families are really awkward to get awkward, plus Jiang Ningyu's father and sister-in-law have died early one after another, no one wants him to make Brother Yan closer to his family.
I have a cat in my family, and I will have a cat person in the future
