Chapter 155 Birthday Banquet ([-]) [Second Update]

The concubine gave a jade bone fan embroidered with goldfish on both sides very unwillingly. The prince, like Li Zhao, never takes an unusual way of giving gifts. He even gave Song Qingyue an oil painting, and it was painted on a wooden board. oil painting on.

The style can be seen at a glance as works from the early Renaissance era. The perspective technique has not yet matured, the characters look rather rigid, and the content is mainly religious paintings.

Song Qingyue reckoned that if there were Raphael, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo in this world, they probably hadn't been born yet, or were still very young, at least the mature oil painting techniques might not have been popularized in Europe.

King Su pointed at the painting and said, "I heard it's the Avalokitesvara from the west. I think it looks pretty good."

Song Qingyue laughed, this is not Avalokitesvara, this is "The Madonna and Son"... The halo behind the head of the Virgin Mary is still covered with gold leaf!
But she still thanked His Royal Highness King Su, "Thank you father, my daughter-in-law likes it very much."

King Su cracked his mouth and smiled: "It's good if you like it, but it's not easy to get it back." After a pause, he still warned, "Take good care of your body, and give birth to a smart son for your son as soon as possible, so that this king can embrace his grandson as soon as possible." .”

Song Qingyue blessed Fushen, and said: "Yes, my daughter-in-law listens to my father. Don't worry about my father, my daughter-in-law has gained weight recently."

"Growing fat?" King Su glanced at her slender waist, did she gain weight?But it's so pretty...

Seeing King Su staring at his daughter-in-law's waist, the princess gave him a sharp sideways glance, King Su clicked his eyes and looked away with a calm expression.

After talking for a while, a servant came in and reported that it was the wife of the eldest son of Duke Wei's mansion and the second wife of Princess Duanyi's mansion.Song Qingyue was overjoyed, the two sisters came so early, they are here to help entertain guests!
King Su turned his face and glanced at his four daughters, waved his hands, and said, "Since the guests have arrived, let's all play. Today is the birthday of the concubine, let's all have fun."

That's what I said, but none of the four girls moved. The second girl, Li Qian, was waiting to meet her aunt and some cousins ​​with Gao Liangyuan. The third girl, Li Yuan, and Su Liangyuan were also waiting for people from the Su family to come over. Li Hui's biological mother Geng Liangyuan's natal family is not qualified to visit the palace, so Li Hui can only be led by Concubine Zhuang and play with her elder sister.

Song Qingyue didn't want to wait for anyone to go with her, so she rushed to the East Road to entertain her eldest sister and second sister after blessing the prince and concubine.

I don't know if it's the turn of the eldest brother and the second brother Xiumu today, it would be great if we could meet each other.

Song Qingyue directly set up refreshments in the water pavilion in the East Road Garden to meet the guests. It was brighter than in the flower hall, and it was cooler because it was near the water.

The three sisters hadn't been together for a long time, but when they met suddenly, the three sisters looked at each other's clothes and smiled heartily.

This style was created by Song Qingyue last summer on a whim called the Song Mansion Sewing Room Reform. The sisters in the house saw that it looked good, so they also found a few sets of it.

"Elder Sister and Second Sister look pretty in this dress today!"

"Third sister looks good today too! The color scheme is festive and not tacky!"

The three flattered each other, Song Qingyue looked at the two older sisters, Song Yuxi's face became rounder, and she looked at Song Qingyue with a smile, Song Qingyue felt that she had grown sweeter, and the mother behind her took out a gift and handed it to Song Qingyue's back The girl and the three sisters walked into the water pavilion holding hands.

"You can tell by the look on Second Sister's face that she is doing well!" Song Qingyue boasted.

Song Yuxi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked after being praised, and her teeth were sticky when she smiled sweetly.

It was the first time for Song Yaxin to come back to Prince Su's Mansion. Holding tea in her hand, she looked around and sighed at the open lake, "After all, it's the Prince's Mansion, the scale is just extraordinary."

Song Qingyue observed her complexion, felt that she seemed a little tired, and asked, "How is Big Sister? Are you doing well?"

Song Yaxin sighed: "I can have nothing wrong with it, but my stomach hasn't moved yet."

Song Qingyue said: "Xu Shizi is the governor of Tianjin Wei. He can only stay at home for seven days a month. There are fates that have not yet arrived. Sister, don't think too much about it. The more you don't think about it, you may not know when it will come. .”

Song Yaxin shook her head: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's my husband who is going to the northwest to change his defense. In fact, when Prince Jing returned to Beijing, my father-in-law went to the northwest. Now the pressure is increasing, and the father-in-law needs help. Your majesty has already agreed. Husband will leave at the end of the month."

Song Yuxi frowned, "Ah, so, can't my sister follow?"

Song Yaxin shook her head: "As usual, the family members must stay in Beijing."

In the blink of an eye, Song Qingyue suddenly understood why Song Yaxin sighed, and she asked, "How long is brother-in-law going?"

Song Yaxin said: "Don't talk about three years, let's see how long this northern war lasts."

This is really bad, Song Qingyue thought about it and asked: "But...you want to pick someone to serve with the army?"

Song Yaxin cast a look at the third sister who still knew me, and said helplessly: "How did the younger sister arrange it with His Royal Highness? The mother said that you didn't write to her for help. It's no wonder she doesn't trust you."

Song Qingyue groaned: "I didn't arrange for him."

"No arrangement?!" Song Yaxin exclaimed in surprise, "His Highness chose the candidate himself? That's right, His Highness has a beautiful girl from the imperial court..."

"No, it's just that he didn't serve with the army." Song Qingyue said expressionlessly, "He didn't say he wanted it, so I pretended to be confused."

"Can it still be like this?" Song Yaxin was quite confused, and then she became envious, "That's because His Highness loves the third sister."

After finishing speaking, Song Qingyue frowned, "Why, Xu Shizi asked you to arrange it?"

Song Yaxin shook her head: "It's the mother-in-law..." Then she envied Song Qingyue again, the current princess is the step-wife, and she can't control the prince's son from her original spouse, so she probably doesn't bother to care about such things.

The three sisters fell silent at the same time. Just when Nanny Yu came in and wanted to inform Song Qingyue that another guest had arrived, Song Qingyue suddenly raised her hand to stop Nanny Yu from speaking, took Song Yaxin's hand, and said, "Sister, how many can I sell?" Will I give you the dry stock of the wool mill?"

Song Yaxin didn't understand, Song Qingyue explained: "We can go to the northwest to build a new factory, which guard is Xu Shizi going to?"

Song Yaxin replied, "Suzhou Wei."

Song Qingyue said with a smile: "That's okay, you won't be afraid in Jiayuguan. Let's build a wool factory in Suzhou. I heard that the melons grown there are also very sweet! We can also build a fruit canning factory."

The book did not mention any large-scale wars in the Northwest during Emperor Jing's reign. Song Qingyue thought that it should be safe for the time being.

Song Yaxin breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I'll tell my husband when I get home, but I don't know if the emperor can approve it..."

Song Qingyue patted her chest and said confidently: "Sister, don't worry, this matter is on me."

It's very simple, Song Qingyue thought it over, it doesn't matter whether she makes money or not, as long as she cooperates with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it will definitely work.Besides, the elder sister and the elder brother-in-law have only been married for one year, and there is no shadow of Xu Shizi's son-in-law. The law is nothing more than human feelings. Seeing that she contributes to the emperor's small treasury, the emperor must be accommodating.

Only then did Song Qingyue look at Yumao, and asked, "Mama, who is here?"

Aunt Yu was interrupted just now, and she was a little unhappy, but she still went forward and reported respectfully, "Hui Shizi Concubine, is the eldest wife of Shangshu Wu Ge's hometown, with the eldest grandma, fourth grandma, fifth girl, The eighth girl, the ninth girl, and the eleventh girl are here."

"They're all descendants?" Song Qingyue asked.

Nanny Yu only hesitated for a moment, and Song Qingyue immediately looked at Little Eunuch Qin, who immediately stepped forward and spoke very fast: "The eldest grandma is the daughter-in-law of the first wife, and the fourth grandma is the second wife's co-previous master. The first daughter-in-law, the fifth girl is born to the eldest grandmother, the eighth girl and ninth girl are born to the fourth grandmother, and the eleventh girl is the second daughter of the fifth master."

"Hmm - this fifth master is quite favored?" Song Qingyue asked.

Little Qin Gonggong said: "Isn't it? Wu Ge's old man, I heard that this eleventh girl is very intelligent and good-looking."

Song Qingyue nodded in satisfaction, looked at Nanny Yu with a smile that was not a smile, and said politely: "Mr. Wu Ge is on good terms with my father. It is really a face for me to come so early. Go to the second gate to welcome me, Nanny. Bar."

Nanny Yu glanced at Eunuch Qin, Eunuch Qin grinned triumphantly at Nanny Yu, Nanny Yu was annoyed, she was careless, she didn't expect the imperial concubine to ask such detailed questions, so she had to let go of her identity and go to the second door We welcome guests.

Song Yaxin glanced at Song Qingyue and asked, "Who is it? His hair is all white."

Song Qingyue raised the corners of her lips: "His Royal Highness King Su's nanny."

The eldest sister and the second sister took a breath at the same time, and Song Yuxi asked worriedly: "You won't offend her if you do this?"

Song Qingyue chuckled: "Her son still relies on Su Wang's mansion to be an official. Besides, I'm not alone, it's not that I have to be her. It's not her turn to rely on the old man in front of me."

Song Yaxin nodded and said, "This little Eunuch Qin is really useful."

Song Qingyue smiled and said to Little Qin Eunuch: "Jifu, my eldest sister praises you for using it!"

"Hey, thank you, Madam, for your boast!" Little Eunuch Qin smiled and lay down.

Song Qingyue smiled and said: "Come on and work hard today, and your reward is indispensable."

"The little one will thank the concubine first."

Before the guests came, Song Qingyue chatted with Little Eunuch Qin: "Jifu, is Eunuch Lin still accepting apprentices? Also help me teach me one or two that you need to use?"

Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "My master is picky, so he will accept anyone he sees."

Song Qingyue said: "Then what should I do if I lack people here? Jifu, why don't you come to my place and do a good job. How much money will His Royal Highness give you for a month? This princess will double it for you."

Little Qin Eunuch laughed dryly: "Thank you for your love, Shi Zifei, the little one dare not betray the master."

Song Qingyue clicked her tongue, and continued to persuasion: "Why is job-hopping a betrayal of the master? Besides, I and your highness are husband and wife, do you understand that husband and wife are one? What's the difference between working with this concubine and doing it with your son?"

Although Little Qin Eunuch had never heard of the word job-hopping, he probably understood the meaning, and still smiled dryly and did not answer.Of course there is a difference, the difference is gone!Little Eunuch Qin is a person with big ambitions, and he aims to be the Supervisor of Ceremonies!If you can't be the chief eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies and Bingbi, you can choose one of the twelve supervisors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be the eunuch with palm seal.

The master said that the prince and the son of his family are people with great ambitions. As the people around them, they should demand themselves at the same level as the chief eunuchs in charge of the court!Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes my heart surge!

Even if the eunuch has no roots, it is enough to honor his ancestors and make people live with their heads held high.

After a while, several female relatives from Wu Ge's hometown came.

Also from a distance, I was surprised to see these outfits on the Song family sisters, they are so beautiful!
The three identities of the Song family are all valuable. Song Qingyue is the concubine of the prince's mansion, Song Yaxin is the wife of the prince's mansion, and Song Yuxi is the order of the fourth rank. The Wu family, whether it is the eldest wife or the two grandmothers, has no orders, so the Wu family Come over and salute, the three sisters of the Song family can just sit and receive the salute.

However, Song Yuxi still stood up and returned the gift, telling her to sit and receive the gift from the elders, she couldn't bear it.

Song Qingyue and Song Yaxin, on the other hand, sat comfortably in their seats. Song Qingyue recognized the person, nodded and smiled to let people sit down, and ordered them to serve tea and snacks.

While talking, he observed this eleventh girl who was born in a concubine.She looks really pretty, she is not very young, only 12 years old, but her attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, and her manners are generous and decent, no wonder she has to be taken out.Mr. Wu Ge probably really doesn't know how to teach his son, so he pinned his hopes on his daughters instead?

Is this for someone to take care of, or do you want to send it to someone as a concubine?

Song Qingyue didn't want to speculate about the old man surnamed Wu maliciously. After all, he was his father's old iron in the cabinet, so he wouldn't ask his daughter to poach his corner, so he could only understand that maybe this [-]th girl really liked the Wu family. The second elder likes her and wants to support her.

Not long after meeting Wu's wife and daughter, the Liang family brought fourth brother Song Chenrui, fifth brother Song Chenfei, sixth brother Song Chenxing, seventh brother Song Chenyu, eighth brother Song Chenhui, and of course, two concubine sisters Song Qianqian and Song Baojuan also arrived.

Mrs. Liang was still dressed as a dignified lady, but Song Qianqian and Song Baojuan also wore dresses similar to Song Qingyue's.However, she didn't have such a good material as soft smoke with gold thread added. Song Qianqian stared at it for a long time with envy, thinking in her heart that she must find a box of pearls and gemstones when she returned home, and make a more gorgeous waist hanging than this one. .

A family can only maintain the family relationship if they meet frequently. When Song Qingyue celebrates her birthday, all those who can come naturally will come.

"Big Brother and Second Brother didn't come." Song Qingyue was slightly disappointed.

The fourth brother Song Chenrui smiled and said: "The yamen is busy, I will come when I get off the yamen in the afternoon."

Mrs. Liang laughed and teased Song Qingyue: "Your father must know that you take care of your two elder brothers, and if you didn't ask him, that old man who is not ashamed will definitely be jealous."

Song Qingyue saw that her relatives were warm and happy, with smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows, and said coquettishly, "Of course I miss my father the most. Let's sit down, it happens that the grandma and girls from Wuge's hometown are here too."

The water pavilion in the Wangfu is very big, and there is no fear that there will not be enough room to sit. The Wu family and the Song family have met each other here, and the girls from Wu Ge's hometown are pulling Song Qianqian to talk. They are obviously familiar and acquainted, so Song Qingyue doesn't bother to greet each other. This is a girl who is in the rebellious period of youth.

Here, Mrs. Liang held Song Qingyue's hand and looked her up and down. Seeing that her chin didn't seem to be as sharp as it used to be, but looked a little more rounded, she felt relieved and took Song Qingyue's hand to talk about family matters: "Fourth brother Song Chenrui is also ten years old this year." Six, he has been studying in the Song clan since he was a child, and he is no worse than your elder brother and second brother in learning. He has passed the examination of scholar long ago, and he is waiting for the next Qiu Wei to have a test, but he is always not paying attention, and follows him all day long. The second son-in-law went out to fool around, it really pissed me off!"

Song Qingyue glanced at the fourth brother, and Song Chenrui yelled in a daze: "Mother! Don't criticize me everywhere as soon as you go out! Now the whole capital knows that I don't work hard! If your son wins a juren in one fell swoop next year, good luck, interest If I give you a Jinshi next year, everyone in the capital will call you a hypocrite!"

"Bah! Still a Jinshi? Do you think it's so easy to get a Jinshi?"

"Your son is so clever that you don't know?"

Song Qingyue watched the mother and son quarrel happily, and then looked at the fifth brother, Song Chenfei.Song Chenfei was a little shy, and his expression was a little depressed, he whispered to Song Qingyue aggrievedly: "I worked hard, but I just didn't do well in the exam. My aunt also talks about me all day long."

After he finished speaking, Song Chenrui took the opportunity to divert Liang's attention, and said, "Aunt Qiu said that Fifth Brother was not motivated when she saw him. In fact, Fifth Brother worked hard the most. Aunt Qiu was just too impatient, because Fifth Brother always He still reads after dark, and now his eyes are not as good as before. I just had my eyesight tested a few days ago, and my father asked the glass factory to make him a pair of glasses."

Song Chenfei said dejectedly: "What's the use of working harder? Up to now, I've barely passed the Tongsheng exam..."

The 13-year-old sixth brother, Song Chenxing, patted Fifth Brother on the shoulder, and said with grief and indignation, "Fifth Brother, we are not expected to study, and we will take care of household affairs in the future. If it is really not possible, let's go to sea to do business."

Song Qianqian, who was talking to the three young ladies from the Wu family over there, stared over at him. Song Chenxing shrank his neck and said stubbornly: "Everyone has their own ambitions. I just want to go to sea. I don't want to stay in the capital. It's boring and troublesome."

Liang was noncommittal, but Song Qingyue smiled encouragingly: "That's right, everyone has different talents. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are not good at scientific examinations. Fifth brother, don't worry, if you really can't, follow Sixth if you have the opportunity. Brother, go out and have a look, maybe you can find something you are good at doing."

Song Chenfei still frowned when he heard the words, as if he didn't listen to Song Qingyue's words, but the seven-year-old Song Chenhui looked at the third sister with bright eyes.

He now goes to the Song Clan to learn to face a group of top students every day. When people see him, they either mention his genius father that day, or mention the first three talented brothers who are compatriots with one mother. He is almost annoyed to death. Even the gentlemen looked at him with bright eyes, he was really stressed!But he doesn't like reading at all, and he doesn't want to go to school at all!
He is the youngest in the family. The youngest in the other family is all about eating, drinking and having fun. Just be a happy playboy. Why can't he?Crying!
Song Qingyue touched the little brother's head, and said with a smile: "If you can't write well, you can study theory. My sister will give you a math paper to see how talented you are in science?"

She had already thought about it, and when King Su came to power in the future, she would encourage his father to build a polytechnic.

Damn, science and engineering, which promote the development of social productivity, are not taken seriously in this era. Thinking about it makes me very angry!Why is everything inferior, but reading is high?Bah bah bah!I really hate sour literati who pretend to be lofty!

If the younger brother has enough brains, the so-called reserve of future science and engineering talents is not bad!

Song Chenhui: QAQ, he seems to have provoked someone he shouldn't...

　August is done! !
