No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Can you get out of here?" Could the new emperor not know what he was thinking? This is also the problem. I know what you think, but I can't support you.

Prince Li, can the old lady agree? Prince Li is his younger brother. Even if he is a relative, he cannot tolerate the minor issues in his private life. My nephew, not only possessing the Five Poisons, but also not tabooing meat and vegetables, I dare to say that even if I don't know what the old lady will do, I can still know that the old lady is definitely not the one who can tolerate it. He really didn't even have to try, and the old lady couldn't even agree.

Shi Ding really retreated this time, with helplessness and sorrow still on his face. But it's okay, at least what needs to be said, he has already said it.

"But Mr. Shi is actually right. Selecting a lieutenant general will indeed be detrimental to the stability of the northern border." Eunuch Xia felt that he still had to put in a good word for Shi Ding. Shi Ding must let the emperor know about this kind of thing, otherwise, Shi Ding really cannot bear this responsibility if he really singles out someone.

"Should we find someone better?" The new emperor was also depressed. Finding someone from the royal family was indeed the right choice. But the choice must be judged! But after turning around in my mind, I really couldn't choose a suitable one even for my own prince. If I had known earlier, I would not have sent Tongan to Jia's house. It would have been too troublesome to leave it to this old lady.

"That's right. The old lady taught me personally. She is also a tiger girl. She really has to stand alone in any family she marries!" Eunuch Xia sighed softly.

The new emperor looked back at him, what did he want to say?

Eunuch Xia immediately shrank his head and pretended that he had said nothing.

On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, it was Jia Mu and Xue Baochai’s birthdays. (Original work Chapter 62: Birthdays of Everyone in the Jia Mansion in Chunpan) Baochai was the newlyweds’ first birthday at her husband’s house. She was supposed to go back to Xue’s house in the morning to salute Mrs. Xue, have lunch with Mrs. Xue and then go back to her husband’s house. But thinking that it was the old lady's birthday, even though it was not a birthday celebration, and the Jia family was closed to observe mourning, they would not treat guests, but Baochai was a close junior, so she had to come to celebrate her birthday.

Jin Rong also thought this was true, so he hurriedly went to the academy to ask for leave, and accompanied Baochai to Jia's house. Jia She and Jia Zheng were not here. They came over early in the morning to eat longevity noodles with the old lady, but were kicked out by the old lady and went about their own business. And Meng Yin also came back with Tongan and the others. The old lady's house was so lively that Jin Rong had no choice but to kowtow and run out to play with Jia She in the school.

"It's not a big birthday, why are you all here? Are you afraid that you won't be able to see each other again?" Ou Mengmeng gave them a look.

She really doesn't have the habit of celebrating birthdays, and her birthday is the teacher's birthday. June 30th every year, primary school exam day is June 30th every year. At the end of the day, the children have a day off. This is the most hated day for teachers! Therefore, she almost never celebrates her birthday, but the children say that they should eat cake whenever they can, so the so-called birthday in their family means eating cake when they can.

She has been here for six years now, and she has never invited anyone over, not even on her seventieth birthday. Because she has no sense of reality. Even after six years, she still didn't have a real feeling.

"Look what you said, birthdays are not just about getting together and having fun together." Daiyu said hurriedly. She also returned to the Lin family. She had been away from the Lin family for a year, and the mandarin ducks helped her manage it in the capital. thing. So once we returned to Beijing, everyone was really busy. This was the third time they met after the marriage of Baochai on the sixth day of the lunar month and the death of the wife of the 17th king.

"Okay, let's go play. Ying'er is about to open a kindergarten. You guys go and have a look." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly. With so many people pouring in at once, she felt panicked.

"Don't open the gift?" Baochai smiled and looked at the old lady. When celebrating a birthday, shouldn’t the focus be on opening gifts? "Why?" Ou Mengmeng had received gifts before, but she still had the habit of teachers, only accepting small handicrafts made by themselves, and not accepting gifts exceeding one tael of silver. After forcing these children to no avail, even Jia Jue said that the ancestors should just accept valuable ones. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for them. They really spend a lot of time thinking of gifts for her every year. However, her gifts every year are really beautiful.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and each person held a big box and placed it in front of Ou Mengmeng.

"What?" Ou Mengmeng felt that such a big box was a little different from previous years.

"In addition to the New Year gift, didn't we make some money this year? Didn't you say that you should spread out a little of the money you make, otherwise you won't make any more in the future." Tongan opened it with a smile. It was a very precious birthday girl carved in black jade. The gourd looks crystal clear. Through the light, there is a dark green color.

Ou Mengmeng's eyes are now soaked in good things. Think of Cixi's jadeite cabbage. The jade is actually not that good, but it is better than the carving. As for Tong'an, it is obvious that it has good materials and good workmanship, and it is quite impressive. If you take a closer look, you will see that this is a new material. I am afraid it was really carved recently.

"It seems that I really made a lot of money." Ou Mengmeng nodded.

Then everyone brought out a gift, all with great care. Obviously, this was not only because they made money this year, but was specially prepared. Perhaps because they were afraid that the old lady would return it to them, they chose all the things used by the elderly.

Like the You sisters, whose capital is small, the two of them prepared it together and really put their heart and soul into a string of Nanhong beads. Originally, they were not worth much, but the Nanhong sign hanging below them, It is a very rare Zigang model.

Lu Zigang is a master of jade carving. He has many jade plaques of Zigang style. However, everyone who knows him knows that he is actually a master of miscellaneous items. He is expert in gold, stone, jade, wood and bamboo carving, and jewelry inlay. They were able to find Nanhong's Zigang brand, and the style suddenly improved.

The most valuable thing among them was the two-year-old jadeite Guanyin statue that Yuanyang and Qingwen carefully carried in together as a gift from Daiyu.

"This..." Ou Mengmeng felt a little familiar, a bit like the one she sent back to the palace before. However, what he sent back to the palace was a one-year-old white jade Guanyin. Fortunately, the top of his head was naturally red. It was hidden in the previous palace. The Daiyu was newly made, but it would take several years to carve it well, right?

"When my father returned to Beijing from the south, he brought a big stone with him. He said it was jade hidden in the stone, but no one dared to open it. He gave it to his father as a ballast stone. My father had been unable to use it before. Let's talk about the stone. She also said it was jade. When her granddaughter heard about it, she thought it was funny, so she said, "Let's invite someone to open it!" Daiyu also thought it was interesting. At that time, everyone disliked the stone, but no one dared to throw it away.

"The girl said that if it was jade, she would carve a decoration for the ancestors. If the stone happened to be thrown away, it would not take up space. The craftsman polished the skin of the stone, and the jade was exposed. It was also a coincidence, and the jade flesh was ground out, and the jade was revealed. The craftsmen who were invited to look at the lifelike Avalokitesvara statue were all amazed. They felt that this was also the ancestor of the great blessings in the sky, so it should belong to the ancestor." Yuanyang made it with his own hands. He really ground off the stone chips, and the jade flesh became a seated statue of Guanyin. Blank. At that time, everyone knelt down together!

Even when Lin Hai came over and saw it, he felt that the creation was magical. He hurriedly asked a jade carving master from Yuhang to come over and see what he could carve with minimal loss. When the carving was finished, both Daiyu and Yuanyang were shocked. It was exactly the same as the one they had given away before, and they felt that it should belong to the old lady.

My glasses have arrived and I am getting used to them, but why didn’t I try them on at an optical shop to see if they are clear? Then I have to lift my glasses to read the words. Now I am treating my cervical vertebra, and I am constantly adjusting the angle to find a clear point. Comrades, you must take good care of your eyes!
