Chapter 19
During the Cheng family banquet, Mrs. Xiao took Shi Niang to the mansion early in the morning. They were the first to arrive. Mrs. Xiao knew very well that what people wanted to see was Shi Niang. There were too many people, so how could they talk? passed.

After receiving the letter, Liu Niangzi waited anxiously at the second door, but this time she was sitting on the wheelchair, Xiao Shi was really shocked. Thinking about it, she was also sitting on the sliding bar last time. So she didn't get out of the sedan chair when she entered the door, not for showing off, but because she was not good at walking.Seeing that Liu Niangzi was looking at her, she hurriedly retracted her eyes, saluted hurriedly, not daring to look at her.

"Hey, you're finally here. Hurry up and see my mother, I'm about to be killed by her." The sixth lady waved her hand to Xiao Shi, and went to help Shi Niang.

"When did the sixth grandma really kill you?" Shi Niang despised her, but straightened the wheelchair, took the handle by herself, and turned to Mammy Mi, "Mammy took my sister-in-law around, and I will go to the sixth grandpa. kowtow."

"Yes!" Mammy Mi didn't think she was an outsider, and led Xiao Shi away.

Liu Niangzi turned to look at Xiao Shi, but she still lowered her head and turned to Shi Niang, "Is she pitying me?"

"Pity anyone, I dare not pity you! I must have been scared." Shi Niang snorted, and pushed her to follow the maid to the main hall of Cheng Taishi and his wife's main house.

Grand Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng already knew she was coming, and they were waiting there with smiles on their faces.

"I haven't seen you for a year, Shi'er is really getting more and more refined." Grand Master Cheng nodded.

"Granddaughter congratulates sixth grandpa on his birthday, wishing grandpa Liu good fortune like the long flowing water in the East Sea, and his life is not as old as Nanshan." Shi Niang hurriedly let go of Liu Niangzi, and kowtowed three times to Grand Master Cheng.

"Good boy!" Cheng Taishi smiled even more blindly, quickly helped her up, and took out another scroll, "Let your grandmother give you the gold and silver vulgar things. This was written by my son a while ago. They all think it's good, and I think so too." Over the past few years, with just this word, I..."

"Go away, who cares about your broken characters. My son, why did you come? Didn't you return to Beijing early? Show grandma, it's really more beautiful. Grandma has saved you a lot of beautiful jewelry, and I'll give it to you I won’t give you Liu Niang.” Mrs. Cheng pushed her husband away, smiling like a bright spring, and the old mother next to her hurriedly brought a jewelry box over.Once opened, it really shines.

"What do you know? My calligraphy is placed in the study, so you can tell it at a glance..." Mrs. Cheng quit, obviously he picked out the best one, and specially wanted to keep it for Shi Niang.Anyway, let Shi Niang read it.

"She has a lot of pictures." The old lady was not afraid of him, and pushed the old man away, "I know why you are so plain, your aunt does not allow you to show off, but girls, you should be brighter."

The old lady said while preparing to change the jewelry on Shi Niang's body.In fact, Shi Niang's jewelry was carefully selected by the six ladies. It is not plain, but it is because Shi Niang is still a girl, so it is not too much, and the six ladies, except for the fifth lady, are all in the same place. Soaked in good things, even a thread of his body has something to say.

"Don't, it's grandpa's birthday today, how can you overwhelm the host." Shi Niang has always had a trick with the old lady, so she asked her mother to quickly withdraw and pull the old lady to sit down.

"This time, grandpa and grandma really haven't seen Shi Niang for a long time." Shi Niang thought about what the old man said just now, and they haven't seen each other for a year.The old man and the old lady always felt sorry for Liu Niangzi, and it was very rare not to see them for a year.

"Oh, I'm too old to move anymore." The old man's face froze, and he still gently held Shi Niang's hand, "I asked your mother to let you out last year, but it still dragged on for a year. too much."

"These days, the sister-in-law takes the children out to socialize, but it seems that there are not many girls in each family, but there are quite a lot of boys." Shi Niang thought about it, went out by herself, and found that quite a few people came to propose marriage.Like a swarm of bees, but the old man said that there are not many good men?How does she feel that these words are quite meaningful.

"Who can they know? Can they still choose a son-in-law among those people?" Mrs. Cheng snorted, and pulled her to sit down, "Grandma helped you to see a few houses, all of which are strict and pure. People..."

"Don't listen to her, she looks fine in jewelry and clothes, but looks rotten in people." Liu Niangzi said coolly beside her.

"In my previous life, I must have killed your whole family, so you entrusted me with revenge..." Mrs. Cheng was furious.

"It's possible that you can't become a father and son without enmity, and you can't become a mother and daughter without grievances. Mother should have given birth to me, so she threw me into the ditch. Maybe, this half of my life can be passed safely." Sixth Lady hurriedly and seriously 's reply.

Taishi Cheng hurriedly pulled Shi Niang over again, away from the fire-breathing mother and daughter, and showed her his calligraphy on the axis, and it was really flying and flying, full of momentum.After hearing Shi Niang's admiration, the old master said proudly, "It was written when they were arguing. If there is a divine help, I am not the one who wrote it."

"..." Shi Niang felt that when the old couple went to see their daughter before, they really did their own mother's face, and now they really revealed their own.I also forgot what the old man said just now.

Near noon, the guests arrived one after another, and when they were busy preparing for the banquet, a notification came from outside the door that Princess Yiyang came to Cheng's mansion to pay her respects for her birthday.

All the guests were shocked. Since Princess Yiyang became a widow 19 years ago, she has rarely appeared in front of people. The most recent time was when the Empress Dowager celebrated her fiftieth birthday.But at the birthday banquet, she only showed a small face, which proved that she had been there.

For these years, it is said that she has been concentrating on cultivation in Princess Yiyang's mansion, and thanking guests behind closed doors.There is no contact with everyone in the court.Being able to come to Cheng Taishi's mansion to celebrate his birthday in person this time shows how important the Cheng family's status is in the eyes of the royal family.

Grand Master Cheng didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly took his wife and daughter out to greet him. Of course, Shi Niang pushed Liu Niangzi to follow.Of course, Shi Niang gently poked Liu Niangzi while no one was paying attention.

Why didn't anyone tell me that my aunt would come to pay her birthday wishes, so she also returned to Beijing.The other ladies didn't know what kind of posture they would take in front of him.

"Don't poke, I don't know." Liu Niangzi whispered.Her father's [-]th birthday, she really didn't want to see the eldest princess on this occasion.

Shi Niang sighed helplessly, Grandpa Liu is really sorry.But he didn't dare to stop, and followed Cheng Taishi and his wife to the door.The distinguished guests behind also hurriedly followed.

The eldest princess got out of the sedan chair, her face with only a faint smile had no wrinkles, and she looked only about thirty.She was dressed in a purplish red brocade with dark patterns, noble and... old-fashioned.

Shi Niang wanted to sigh, really, Mrs. Cheng wouldn't even dress like this.Afraid people don't know that she is a chaste woman who has been widowed for 20 years?
The problem is that the second and third marriages in this dynasty are just common. How many noble wives remarried, and the more married the better.Like the eldest princess, she is a different kind in this era, okay?

However, she dared not say it.My own mother, what else can I complain about?But I feel sorry for her, she is only 35 years old, she became a widow at 16 years old, and ended up spending her most beautiful years for festivals.So when she picked herself up at the age of 19, she felt it was a gift from God.

　I'm listening to the audiobook of "Extreme Couples", and the person who reads it can't speak, and hasn't mastered the tone. He has a very poor grasp of everyone's personality.
