Chapter 18: The Birthday Banquet
The old lady's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the wrinkles on her face shook gently with her movements.
"If you marry into the Guogong Mansion for a year, you have nothing to do, and you are not filial.
As the housewife of the house, not only did she not give her husband a branch, but also did not give her husband a concubine in time, resulting in such a disaster, it was out of jealousy.
And he didn't listen to his husband's orders, ran around without permission, hurt his body, made the prince dissatisfied, and almost affected the national government, which was disloyal.
But you didn't repent, you didn't know how to restrain your mother's family, and you let Xuan Enhou come to the Guogong Mansion to play prestige, causing the Guogong Mansion to be humiliated and laughed at.
Do you know what is wrong with this pile? ”
Song Tinglan didn't want to come today.
But the old lady came many times, saying that the doctor said that she was in good health and asked her to move more.
Song Tinglan sat in a soft sedan chair and swayed to Shou'an Hall.
As soon as the soft sedan car stopped, Chun Tao put on a soft couch with thick cushions on it, Song Tinglan just lay down, Tian Xing covered her with a thin blanket, and Song Tinglan was very comfortable lying on it.
The old lady's face is going to be green, and that's how it goes.
Song Tinglan was half-lying, the whole person was lazy and lazy, hearing this, he endured the anger in his heart, and refuted with a calm face: "I don't know." ”
This sentence was light and fluttering, without any weight, but it made everyone in Shou'an Hall stunned.
After all, Song Tinglan had always been obedient to the old lady in the past, and he had never refuted the old lady once.
The eldest lady Wen Yuhua gently supported her forehead and suddenly felt a headache.
The second lady, Zhao Jiyun, took a sip of tea from the teacup, covering the corners of her mouth that she was about to be unable to suppress, but a pair of shrewd eyes kept turning, looking like she was watching a good show.
The third lady, Yu Xuetong, is gentle and virtuous, does not fight or rob, and has a good relationship with everyone in the house.
She looked stunned at this time, looking at Song Tinglan with a touch of admiration in her eyes.
But the old lady slammed the table and scolded angrily: "What did you say? ”
Song Tinglan continued: "I said that I was not wrong. ”
"Bastard!" The old lady pointed at Song Tinglan and scolded angrily, "You dare to contradict me!" ”
"Old lady, you started accusing me indiscriminately, I just said something, how can this be a confrontation?"
The old lady wanted to say more, but Song Tinglan continued to add: "Old lady, Xiao Tingyu pushed me out in disregard of the reputation of the Guogong Mansion first, and I received it privately, and my injured father came to visit, what is wrong with it?"
Even the saint didn't say anything about this, could it be said that the old lady was more holy than the saint? ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady Rao was angry and didn't dare to say more, so she could only stare at Song Tinglan with a pair of red eyes.
But Song Tinglan was not afraid at all, and looked at her lightly, which made the old lady look even more angry.
"I've only been worshipping the Buddha for more than a month, and your temperament has become so unreasonable, have you forgotten all the rules you learned before to the belly of a dog?"
Seeing that the old lady was so angry that she couldn't get off the stage, Yu Xuetong hurriedly opened her mouth to play a round.
"Old lady, don't you know, Mrs. Shizi was injured a little before, so her temperament is a little more impatient, and speaking of which, this temperament is becoming more and more like the shadow of Xuan'en Hou."
Yu Xuetong laughed as she spoke, and the implication was to remind the old lady that Song Tinglan had the support of Xuan'en Hou.
However, the old lady obviously didn't understand Yu Xuetong's words, and she was even more angry when she heard the words, and snorted coldly:
"What Xuan Enhou, just a martial artist, relying on his military exploits, more and more unorthodox, he dared to threaten the saint with this, so that he could marry into my country's government, and now, it's just a trivial matter, and he dares to come here to play prestige?"
Song Tinglan snorted coldly.
"Old lady, if you want to talk about it, Grandpa Guo is also a martial artist, and in terms of ability, it seems that he is not as good as my father, after all, if it wasn't for my father, I am afraid there would be no current Guogong Mansion!"
There was no mercy in saying this, and suddenly, Shou'an Hall was silent.
Rao is third lady didn't dare to speak again, after all, everyone present knew the original battle.
At that time, Xiao Zhensheng was surrounded by the enemy army at that time because of his greed for merit, and there were only more than 500 soldiers left in the end out of a full 5,000 soldiers.
If it weren't for the fact that Xuan Enhou saw that he had not returned for a long time, guessed that things had changed, and disregarded everyone's dissuasion, he arrived with a large army day and night, I am afraid that Xiao Zhensheng would have died there at that time.
This matter can be said to be Xiao Zhensheng's shame, and he has always been reluctant to be advanced, and over the years, Song Tinglan is the first person who dares to say it openly.
And Song Tinglan was not afraid at all.
Who wanted her father to save him in the first place!
"You ......"
"You...... You're ......."
The old lady pointed at Song Tinglan and said several times in a row, but she couldn't say anything to refute it, her face turned blue with anger, her eyes rolled up, and she almost turned her back on her anger.
Xiao Tingyu arrived at Shou'an Hall when Song Tinglan said this.
When he heard Song Tinglan's words, his brows were furrowed, his face was pale, obviously angry, and he just wanted to scold Song Tinglan, but when he saw the old lady's obviously angry appearance, he hurriedly rushed forward to give the old lady a good breath.
also glared at Song Tinglan fiercely by the way.
Song Tinglan didn't get used to him at all, and glared back directly.
Everyone was busy, and then the old lady was relieved.
It wasn't until the doctor came in a hurry, prescribed a calm prescription for the old lady, and told her to pay attention to recuperation, that everyone found that there was no longer Song Tinglan in Shou'an Hall.
At this time, Song Tinglan had already returned to the courtyard and ate bright red cherries in a leisurely manner.
The day passed in the old lady's anger and haste.
On the second day, the Guogong Mansion was lit up and was busy early in the morning.
Because of the previous incident of Xiao Tingyu, Xiao Zhensheng instructed that this birthday banquet should not be held in a big way.
But the old lady likes luxury, if it is too shabby, the old lady is the first to be unwilling.
Therefore, when the old lady and Xiao Zhensheng were satisfied, Wen Yuhua finally finalized a banquet of ten tables, plus a drama troupe.
In previous years, the precious flowers that were specially transported from other places have also been replaced with green plants that are being raised in the flower house of the house.
But despite this, it also cost a lot of money, after all, the guests are entertained, and the banquet at each table is the best of the best.
Early this morning, Song Tinglan got up early and started dressing up.
After lying in the courtyard for so long, it was time for her to move.
After all, there are quite a few people here today, and she still has important things to do.
If she lies down all day, it is not conducive to her future plans.
Tian Xing's body was almost well, and she specially changed into a azure silk gold silk embroidered long skirt, covered with a hundred butterflies of the same color wearing flower cloud brocade gown.
gave her a high bun again, with a delicate hairpin and step, and the whole person instantly came alive.
Noble and majestic, the beautiful spring peach is reluctant to close her eyes.
Since Song Tinglan married into the Guogong Mansion, he rarely dressed like this, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
Especially Xiao Tingyu, he looked at him in a daze, and even forgot to talk to his friends.
