"It's hard work for the two aunts." Lin Piao's ridiculous honorific title made them both laugh.

Xiao Yue took those small accessories to show him, you can see that the embroidery is done by Juan'er, and the accessories are Xiao Yue's strength, leaving a lot of good goods in his hands, and the belt is inlaid with a light blue aquamarine that he doesn't know where to get it, the nail cover is so big, flat, not particularly thick, but very wide, round, like a pool of seawater.

Lin Piao stood up, Xiaoyue and Juan'er picked up their clothes for him, Lin Piao put them on, they helped tie them, Qiu Yu and Xia He also walked in, Lin Piao could only look and touch them around him like a display model.

"Miss Juan'er, this material is so soft, this embroidery is really magical, now that Yuemingfang has you in charge, Baozhu Pavilion will also be compared."

"There are several horses over there in Yuemingfang, I'll bring one back tomorrow, and the two sisters will also make a dress to wear."

They had already talked, and Lin Piao stood in the middle as a tool man, and then was taken to the mirror to sit down and comb his hair.

Xia He combed his hair, Xiaoyue gave him other hostas, dressed up like this, tied the belt, hung the accessories, the whole body was elegant, and jewelry, Lin Piao admired it in the mirror, and he could feel his temperament improve in a straight line, as if he was born in a scholarly family, and the generation was noble, but the family was really rich and oily.

"It's just a matter of wearing it at home, and if you go out and you are touched and anything, it will make people feel distressed to death."

"If you dress like this, you have to go in and out in a carriage, and you have guards with you, and if you are still walking outside alone, there is no reason not to rob you."

Lin Piao didn't put on makeup, although it was not in the way to spread a layer of duck egg powder, but thinking that the weather was hot, the effort to wipe the sweat would be wiped off after a while, so he didn't engage in these fancy shelves.

This dress is good-looking, the fabric is light and thin, but it can't escape the fate of layer after layer, fortunately the weather is good today, the morning is cool, the yard is filled with a fresh breeze, penetrating into the light fabric, it is also very refreshing.

After cleaning up, it was time for breakfast, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu were startled when they came over: "We also said to come early and wake you up, but you got up so early today." Then he looked him up and down: "It's really good, it's really good, it's really good today." The second aunt and Uncle Qiu were amazed and appreciative, and watched Lin Piao for a while.

Xiao Yue and Juan'er said that they planned to prepare a set of such clothes for everyone's birthday in the future, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu were naturally happy to bloom, hugging Juan'er and Xiao Yue and shouting to their hearts: "It really hurts, we have never worn such good clothes in our lives, thanks to the blessing of the two girls, we must have such a good thing." ”

Everyone was laughing and giggling together, and when breakfast was served, Da Zhuang Hu Ci had also arrived, except for Shen Hong and Ergou who had to get up early to go to work, and this meeting had already gone out, and everyone who could arrive today had arrived.

As soon as Hu Ci saw him, he even said that he was no longer as happy as before, and after Erzhu left, he still liked to practice boxing, and when the second aunt saw this, she always felt that Erzhu had led people astray, and she had been in Beijing for so long now, and she had touched a little edge in all aspects, and she heard about a small private school that specialized in teaching young women's brothers, so she sent Hu Ci over. Hu Ci didn't like to read very much, but he also knew that reading was a good thing, and his brothers and sisters in the family were literate people no matter what they did, so they could only read with tears in their eyes.

Because to prepare for the banquet, the kitchen prepared a lot of ingredients in advance, today's breakfast is also extraordinarily rich, usually back and forth to eat some fish soup minced meat porridge sauce meat small buns and yam pureed dim sum, early this morning there are small wontons under the black chicken soup, pork wontons are still wrapped in a few shrimp, there is no big shrimp in Beijing, but a few shrimp together, full of umami, the entrance is fresh and sweet, and the whole is no different.

In addition, the bird's nest poured with milk, with some refreshing and greasy side dishes, crisp raw kohlrabi cut into small and small shreds, mixed with sesame oil and sesame seeds, a small plate is served, and some shredded green onions are also dotted on it.

In addition, there is a freshly steamed snack of yam and red date paste, which also carries the temperature of the steamer, which is warm, soft and glutinous and sweet.

"I still thought that I would definitely not have the energy to get up so early today, and I would probably not be tired until I was busy at night."

I usually eat these things, but because they all need time to prepare, I always have to instruct the kitchen to prepare in advance, and I can eat them the next day, and the bird's nest is easier to eat in the afternoon, and it is not good to toss the cooks every day, so that they start to get busy at night, and today I ate these things at breakfast.

While they were eating, the second aunt asked the people around her to get some things in: "Piao'er, Erzhu has been thinking about your birthday for a long time, and I have sent things back in advance, and you will have more gifts to receive later, while no one is here now, I will give you our share first, I haven't seen Erzhu's things yet, for Piao'er, you must be opened again in front of you, I will keep it in my hand for several days." ”

Lin Piao was naturally very happy, but the expectation was very low, after all, Erzhu was a straight man who was running around fighting outside, so it was good to have this intention.

After eating, the dishes were withdrawn, and the second aunt carried a wooden box and put it on the table, opened it from above, and everyone looked at it intently, feeling a little inexplicable, thinking what it was, but they could not directly question it.

Lin Piao also glanced at it several times, and felt that Erzhu seemed to have sent a box of garbage, and the box was messy, black and red, like some leftovers.

The second aunt was the first to break the silence: "This kid, what is this sending, the war has broken my brain." She picked up the miscellaneous things inside and looked at it, but her face was a little better: "Hey, here's a leather down here." He took it out and unfolded it: "This is the ink fox skin, right?" It's okay, Piao'er you use it to make a collar in winter, or make a sleeve to warm your hands. ”

The crowd took out the pile of things that had been dangled together, and then they could tell what the crumpled things were: "This is a silk belt, this material is rare, and I am empty, and I have embroidered some flowers on it, and it looks good to make a belt and a shawl." ”

"How is this a ball of silk, oh...... This is a bracelet, and it looks good when it is smoothed. ”

They packed up their things and found that Erzhu had collected a bunch of good things and packed them in a good box, but because they were not packaged separately and the road was bumpy, they were all rolled together, and they were all good, although some colors did not conform to Lin Piao's aesthetics, but they could also feel that he was bothered.

Lin Piao said: "Erzhu is really interested, and if he got such a box of things out, he must have wasted a lot of effort to collect them everywhere." ”

The second aunt said: "Where does he understand this, he also has Yu Niang by his side, and after consulting Yu Niang, he made up such a box, and Yu Niang's mind was also in it, and he sent a pair of jade pendants." ”

The second aunt said and picked up a small bag from the ground, and carried two letters: "I opened this letter and read it first, Erzhu and Yu Niang have written it, three pieces of paper, one is specially for your birthday, and this one is for Yu Niang." ”

They dug into the bottom of the box on the second pillar, and only then did they find the small box that had been squeezed into the corner, and when they opened it, they saw a pair of jasper earrings, like two drops of green water, and the earrings were not long, so they bit under the small beads, and if they were put on, they could just hang down under the earlobes.

Look at another baggage, which is some specialties and dry goods.

"Yu Niang said that this is some of the things she and the girl have dried on their own, and they are doing it for fun, but the chrysanthemums and sea buckthorn over there are good, and they are used to make water and tea, and they are usually good to chew and eat."

Lin Piao nodded, thinking that the crying and naughty jade girl before now has a hobby of health preservation and handicrafts, so he took the opportunity to open the letter and look at their congratulations to him.

Lin Piao raised his eyes: "By the way, auntie, about Yu Niang, did Erzhu have a letter to say anything?" ”

"This back and forth staggered, he sent the letter in advance, when he sent something, it is estimated that we have not received it, but he said in the letter, Yu Niang does not want to worry about the family, and does not want to quarrel more, at the beginning of the reasoning, the old woman is really difficult to mess with, and I really don't want to deal with it, plus they don't dare to be so arrogant when they haven't been released, but now they are released, and the courage is fat, you know that Yu Niang is a good child, especially a young girl like her, and her father wants her to live well, she is stubborn in her heart, that is, she is not having a good time, so she also wants to make a show, so that her father and mother at home can rest assured, not to mention some downward old women, you also know, it is difficult to get a headache, I just want to avoid it when I see it, not to mention a little girl like Yu Niang. ”

Lin Piao shook his head: "But the thing in the world is that people are good and are bullied, the more she doesn't want to make trouble and be exposed, people know her shortcomings, but the more unscrupulous she wants to be arrogant." ”

The second aunt nodded: "Who said it wasn't, it's useless to love that face too much." "The second aunt pities Yu Niang very much, she thinks Yu Niang is a very good girl, remembering that when she was in the county government before, she was a big sister, they were not at all shelf, and gave her a lot of things, when the second pillar was injured, she also comforted herself, although she didn't see it with her own eyes, but she had already made up for it in her heart, thinking that Yu Niang was such a good girl, the old woman must be a vicious Yaksha, and the husband was also a dumb pus.

They sighed, after all, Yu Niang is a girl as big as Xiao Yuejuan'er, but Xiao Yuejuan'er doesn't know how happy she is now, and Yu Niang is so aggrieved.

The second aunt and Uncle Qiu Da Zhuang sent the gifts they prepared first, Lin Piao opened them and took a look, and what they gave were some pendants and other things, obviously discussed, and gave him a full set, these things are light and affectionate, mainly to have a good omen, what a small pendant, auspicious jade card, Lin Piao took the things, and then everyone was going to get busy.

As everyone's own family, the matter of hospitality will be busy in the future, Lin Piao doesn't want to do too much, but in Shangjing, it is difficult to be low-key, if you don't invite people, you will feel that he looks down on people, so he invited everyone who should be invited.

Up to the Jingyang Princess, Wen Jieqing and the cousins-in-law in his family, down to the representatives of the outstanding embroidery girls, all invited over, as for how many Lin Piao were willing to come to the banquet, anyway, he had enough seats and dishes.

Before noon, many people came early, and when they came in, Lin Piao and Juan'er Xiaoyue went to receive them one by one, and they came in to say a few words, accept blessings, and express their gratitude.

Because of the reason that they had given the Qi family some help before, even the Qi family's wife group, who had always been cold and would only send the old and the young to deal with this kind of thing, came to the group.

Although the princess of Jingyang let him come late, he also came, full of noble girls and brothers in a courtyard inside and out, full of flowers, clouds and temples, and everyone only thought about the face that should be given before they came, and they had to deal with it, and they couldn't help but mutter.

"It's a big face, it's rare to see a few wives of the Qi family also come out, they are now having something to do, and they can still find time to participate in this event."

"Look who's over there." The light Luo fan lightly moved in the other direction, then retracted and continued to fan the wind casually.

A few people looked at each other: "Isn't that Mrs. Xiangjia, now she is recognized by the old lady at home, and she is in charge of the middle feed, and she is in charge of the whole family, and the relationship between the Xiang family and Lord Shen is mediocre, and she actually gives this face." ”

The fan covered his lips with a smile: "Look at the children he brought out, Xiang Jia doesn't give face to Lord Shen, you have to give General Yuan a little face, give General Yuan's mother a little face, you say that when he was in the countryside, he was so good at raising chickens and ducks, what he raised, what he bringed, I heard that this family was pulled out by him." ”

"I also heard about this, he took Shen Hong out, and with Shen Hong's momentum, he brought out a few children from the village who had good feelings with him, and treated them very well along the way, so that he has today's momentum."

"He is a widow, but he is extremely smart, if Shen Hong can't get famous, or if he doesn't treat him well, these children brought out by his side, there will always be someone who will give him the rest of his life, and bring two girls out, if the man has no conscience, the girl is soft-hearted, and will never treat him badly, and even the two adults who are honest in their hearts will also take advantage of the situation to show kindness, there will always be someone willing to serve him, and there will be no mistakes in the second half of his life."

"He has worked his own, and he has done so much as a way back, but he has advanced and retreated in a certain way, and he does not worry about having a bad life."

They naturally know that Lin Piao has something on him, the court is changing rapidly, and no matter how deep the feelings between men are, as long as they are different from their masters, and their interests conflict with each other, they are feelings and interests.

But what kind of conflict of interest can Lin Piao and the people he brought out? As long as he is smart and doesn't make some trouble, even if General Dingyuan doesn't give Shen Hong face, he has to give him three points, and there is another Li Lingyue, although it is not a good thing, it seems that he is also a character who can't get along with Shen Hong, but now he is a rising star in the court, His Majesty attaches great importance to it, he can have three points of affection in these people, that is very powerful.

"He is very good with the Jingyang Princess, and it is rare to see the Jingyang Princess's face like this, and he also came to sit for a while on his birthday last year, and he will come this year."

They talked and laughed, with a small fan covering their faces, and their jade wrists were snow-white, and they measured everyone present.

Who would have thought that the most heart-warming person in Shangjing today is actually a brother from the countryside.

On the other side of the table, it was much more bold, Lin Piao couldn't invite men to enter this table, so he invited some women and brothers from the shopping mall, as well as the wives of those merchants, they got together, chatted and ate melon seeds, and by the way, they pulled relationships and connections.

During the banquet, the maids shuttled, Xiaoyue and Juan'er also accompanied the guests to deal with it, Lin Piao didn't want to make a big deal, but since the scene has been greatly spread out in front of him, he naturally has to deal with it well, so that Juan'er Xiaoyue should pay attention, don't make any mistakes, leave a good impression on everyone, and by the way, through the clothes she wears, publicize Juan'er's great progress in embroidery and clothing making skills, in everyone's appreciative eyes, Lin Piao gave Juan'er a complimentary look, he knows that once the birthday banquet passes, Yuemingfang will definitely be able to customize ready-to-wearReceived a lot of high-level orders.

In addition to a plate of birthday cakes per table, one person after another, each person can also bring a sandwich-shaped birthday cake wrapped in oiled paper, similar to a birthday peach, which can be taken home for the children at home.

At noon, they dealt with the people, and in the half hour after lunch, they sent off the guests one after another, and then it was their infield activities, just when Shen Hong and Ergou came back with a pinch, and left here for others to clean up slowly, they went to the small courtyard and put on a table of their own family's table.

Because there were too many people just now, Lin Piao was not too embarrassed to eat and drink, just simply ate some pastries, and ate a small half bowl of rice when accompanying the guests, and now that he has almost digested it, he sat down and continued to eat.

Hu Ci took a day off at home because of his birthday, ate at the small table in the back kitchen, and came out to eat at the children's table.

Lin Piao first made a bowl of rice, the bowl on the house is small and exquisite, a bowl is not much weight, by the way gnawed a crispy roast duck leg, the skin is roasted thin, crisp and dry, white sesame seeds are roasted crisp and slightly yellow, Juan'er sat on Lin Piao's side, Lin Piao stretched out his hand to hold the duck leg, Juan'er stretched out his hand to roll up his sleeves, the flow of water, people sitting on the side of the vegetables are helping to roll up their sleeves, as if collectively going to the battlefield, Xiaoyue helped Juan'er pull again, everyone opened their stomachs to eat.

Externally, they don't eat the fireworks of the world, they eat a piece of pastry and smile and are full, busy with long sleeves and good dancing, and inside they all roll up their sleeves to eat, Shen Hong and Ergou came back, seeing them like this, they knew that this banquet had exhausted them and starved.

They came back the latest, and the gifts came the latest, seeing that everyone was full, the second dog took out the gifts, and said a lot of rhetoric, and his mouth had to say that the flowers came, and when he opened them, he saw that it was a jade necklace.

Ergou observed Lin Piao's expression: "I know that sister-in-law you don't like to wear these, you see that this chain is long, and the position that can be buckled can be long or short, otherwise take two small pins, don't wear clothes on the waist, and make a waist chain with the belt." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Your idea is good, and it's not wasted, this style looks good wherever you wear it, and one is worth a lot." ”

After Ergou gave the gift, the final finale came to Shen Hong's side, Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong, some expectations, not sure what he would prepare, after all, everyone is not lacking anything now, it seems that what can be given is these delicate and rare things.

Shen Hong's gift was brought up by Shanzi, a flat, huge box, it was almost the size of a table when placed on the table, Lin Piao was surprised, thinking what is this, how did he get such a big thing, and draw a picture for him?

Lin Piao wasn't sure, so he decided to take another look, Shanzi opened the box, and the upper and lower lids of the box were lined with brocade cloth, and the items were covered with a layer of pale yellow tulle, like some fragile item.

Shanzi lifted the tulle with a small heart.

"Huh?" Lin Piao looked at the pile of identical jade bead bracelets in the box with some surprise, would it be too much for him to wear? It feels like both hands are all full and my arms are sore.

Next to the bracelet were two envelopes, Shen Hong handed him the envelope first, Lin Piao took a look, one envelope was written on Shangjing, and the other envelope was written on Luodu, Lin Piao was a little puzzled, and when he opened it, he was stunned.

Shen Hong also knows his orientation too well, although it is indeed very unexpected, but this thing, how to say, is a very good thing, and the sense of security has come up.

Shen Hong gave him thirty hectares of fertile land, ten hectares outside the outskirts of Shangjing, and twenty hectares outside the suburbs of Luodu.

Thirty acres of fertile land, 3,000 acres of land, no matter what happens, he is enough to be a landowner for a lifetime.

Lin Piao looked at it for a while, he couldn't hide his stunned jaw, looked at Shen Hong, and couldn't help asking, "You won't be investigated, right?" ”

"It's just a normal exchange on your hands, and I'll leave it to you for safekeeping."

Ergou bowed his head silently, he couldn't hear, he couldn't hear.

Juan'er Xiaoyue lowered her head, whining, so moved, she couldn't let others see it.

The second aunt and Uncle Qiu had tears in their eyes, what a good and filial child.

Lin Piao looked at him and raised his eyebrows, you kid, it's best to really have normal interactions.

But it's all in his hands, what else can he say, and he said it a bit to give him a sense of net worth.

Do you want to commit to him all your life?

In front of so many people, Lin Piao naturally couldn't show much throbbing, so he looked at a pair of strings on the side: "What are these?" ”

"The jade Buddha beads, which were prepared before, were offered in front of the Buddha statue in Wanhua Temple for 7749 days, and were blessed by the presiding officer himself.

He knew that Lin Piao was not a person who believed in gods and Buddhas, but the temple was high and the rivers and lakes were far away, and Lin Piao could not do anything about it, so he could only pin his hopes on these things, ask for a good omen, and change his peace of mind.

Shen Hong took a string and kept it in his hand, and handed another string to Lin Piao's hand, and the two of them put it on like this, and the identical bracelet hung down between their wrists.

The jade bead is delicate and warm, it is noble and stable when worn on Shen Hong's hand, and it is delicate and clear on Lin Piao's wrist, like a pair of beautiful people.

Ergou and Juan'er Xiaoyue watched from the side, not in a hurry to go up and get it, Ergou looked at their hands wearing beads, such a pair of beads, like a husband and wife, to say that Shen Hong is for the whole family, naturally has this intention, but there should be a heart, that is, I want to wear a jewelry with my sister-in-law in pairs, everyone in the family has a point, they wear it every day, and it is not abrupt.

Ergou sighed, thinking that he had not met any marriage until now, but instead saw Shen Hong and his sister-in-law, who asked what the love of the world was, and taught the feelings of life and death.

Xiao Yue and Juan'er took their own jade beads, thanked Shen Hong and Lin Piao, and did not rush to wear them, everyone carefully put them in their purses, saying that today is Lin Piao's birthday, and there is no reason for them to receive gifts, so they have to wear them again tomorrow.

Everyone had fun together, and after eating together at dinner, they were reluctant to disperse, the second aunt and Uncle Qiu still wanted to stay for a while, thinking about chatting together, and they could eat supper together at night, Ergou and Juan'er Xiaoyue coaxed for a while, and inexplicably left with Hu Ci in their arms.

Only Lin Piao and Shen Hong were left in the courtyard, and when the maids saw this, they naturally went outside to guard and did not disturb their talking.

Lin Piao stood up and showed a circle in front of him slowly: "The clothes that Juan'er and Xiaoyue prepared for me look good." ”

Shen Hong watched as his robe was slightly raised, and the forbidden steps and beads sounded softly, reflecting a faint light, and shook in front of him.

Lin Piaole was happy: "If I want to throw it a little harder, I will hit you in the face, and you don't know how to hide." ”
