Chapter 315 Party
The heat in July is getting worse and worse. In the afternoon of that day, people can hardly open their eyes due to the splash of gold and silver. If they try to walk a few steps in the sun, they will sweat a lot and their skin will turn red. No wonder there has been a saying that there is fire in July since ancient times.

However, in such a hot sunny season, there is also plenty of rain. All kinds of trees and flowers are still lush and green, and the water is bright. The capital is densely populated and houses are densely packed. There are also many trees planted on the streets and roadsides. Light green, but it can also reduce a little bit of heat.

The large area of ​​roses in the back garden of the Xia Mansion was in full swing, bright and colorful. Looking at the beautiful scenery she had cultivated with her own hands, Le Qing couldn't hold back her joy. She planned to hold a small flower banquet and invite all her girlfriends to celebrate Yiqing had never held a flower banquet before, but when she heard that Leqing was preparing in a serious manner, she came over to join in the fun. Anyway, she was idle at home, and Zheng Jingyan didn’t know what to do for days, so she went out every morning. She couldn't accompany her when she came home late, but Bao'er was lively and cute but the old lady and Mrs. Zheng's pistachio. A mother would be driven away after staying with her child for less than half an hour, so she had to find her own fun.

She said she would only invite her girlfriends, but in the end there were guests of all ages, even men. The expected one table became five tables. Le Qing had no choice but to treat it as a family gathering.

Yiqing thought it was funny, it was all caused by Pang Ruxue's talkativeness and Xia Xiuping's randomness. When the manager went to send invitations to Luo Yuqin, Pang Ruxue saw it and said, "If Mrs. Luo is free, please invite her over. play!"

Yue Shumei and Pang Ruxue have known each other since they were young, and they can come and go whenever they want, and they don't need to post. When she heard this, she really decided to come and play with her daughter. Luo Yuqin felt embarrassed, and asked the other girls A netizen revealed the news that the mother was also going, and several mothers followed, and it was not counted when the mother came, and they brought their sisters or nephews with them.

Xia Xiuping happened to be taking a rest today, and every guest came to visit, three or five of them were from Huzhou. Seeing that the various snacks in the south of the Yangtze River prepared by Leqing and Liu's mother were delicious and refreshing, and the back garden was quite lively, Xia Xiuping was in a good mood Dafa also seized a corner in the back garden, and put the banquet in a shaded pavilion full of green radishes. A few people enjoyed the flowers and drank wine, chatted and laughed, and recited poems, enjoying themselves. The seven or eight girlfriends of Leqing listened It is said that Chen Boyuan, the number one scholar, was also among them, and walked over lightly from time to time, peeking at the charming demeanor of the number one scholar through the flower wall and bushes.

Now that it was a family gathering, Pang Ruxue and Yue Qing decided to invite Aunt Pang, Aunt Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Cousin Fang and others over. The relatives sat under the shade of the trees, smelling the fragrance of flowers and eating fresh food. Exquisite delicacies with unique flavors are released from the cage, talking and laughing, the parents are short-sighted, but they are also leisurely and happy.

Yiqing hung out with Yueqing's group for a while, then went back to the group of aunts and aunts, and sat in a corner with Fang's sister-in-law and cousin Fang, listening to everyone's jokes and gossip, and a few of them talking about themselves talk.

Not long after, the eldest aunt of the Pang family got up to leave. Pang Ruxue knew that she had a lot of things to do at home, so she didn't want to keep her. She just asked the maids to bring two food boxes to Aunt Pang to take back. , Yujiao and Yuyan are all on Leqing's side, they naturally want to play for a while, one of these two food boxes is for Pang Shizhi, and the other is for the boys who want to study every day.

Pang Ruxue wanted to accompany the guests, so Yiqing got up to see Aunt Da Da. The curved corridor was shaded, and there was no need to sit in a rattan sedan chair while talking all the way. Seeing that you are busy all day long, how can you not finish the housework? It’s not easy to come out today, everyone is so happy talking and laughing, and the eldest aunt is not willing to sit for a while!"

"I can't help it, your aunt is such a hard worker!"

Grandma Pang Da frowned and poured out her bitterness: "Qing'er, you don't know. It used to be fine. Since your grandfather and uncle were promoted successively, the house is like going to the market every day. There are constant visitors! Outsiders come It's fine to hold a banquet for a while, but my cousins ​​come here one after another and they will stay for a long time. They are not single, and they all take their families with them... Your second uncle's family has also returned to Beijing, and suddenly there are dozens of people in the family Come on, I'm in charge of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and your uncle has to help with the future. The couple are too tired to talk! If it weren't for Yujiaoyuyan's quarrel today, how could I be willing to waste half a day sitting around here? "

Yiqing persuaded: "Auntie, it's very important for you to take care of your health, rest properly, and relax your mind. Don't overwhelm yourself with these trivial matters. Relatives who come to seek refuge occasionally have to support one or two , but it can’t be like this for a long time, since they are dragging their families, you only need to provide enough food and clothing, and let them take care of themselves.

Grandma Pang Da sighed: "My good boy, you are also the head of the family, and you know my difficulties! I thought about it like you did, but I was afraid that your grandfather would be angry if he found out."

"How many relatives are there in the mansion?"

"The first one to come is the eldest son of your great-grandfather's family in Xuzhou. He used to be a seventh-rank county magistrate in the local area. Your great-grandmother died of illness. The eldest son Ding You, after three years of filial piety, is waiting for the court to make up for it. It is not suitable for this or that is not good. After learning that your grandfather was promoted, the family of five came to Beijing, waiting to become officials in the capital! Later, his third brother Tuoer and his daughter also came. For a while, your third grandfather in Cangzhou simply returned to the capital with a family of ten or twenty members. Naturally, your grandfather had to take care of his siblings, and instead of letting them live outside, he moved into our Pang Mansion! And the concubine's grandma Ma'am, I've come back twice, this is visiting relatives!"

Yiqing got dizzy hearing it, as expected, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it is not easy for any family!

"Auntie, you have worked so hard! I still say the same thing, no matter how busy you are, remember to rest, take care of yourself, and don't get tired!"

"Please don't worry, I understand!"

Grandma Pang Da took Yiqing's hand and smiled, "Our great aunt is so gentle and straightforward, but you are so smart and shrewd, and she is caring and caring for the elders. Now I teach you two cousins, and I don't bother to talk too much." Well, it’s enough for them to imitate you! Even your grandfather said: Fortunately, you were born in our family. It would be a pity if you were born in someone else’s family!”

Yiqing was sweating, so she had to say a few words modestly to divert the topic: "Second aunt gave birth not long ago, are she and the little baby all right?"

Grandma Pu Da pouted her lips: "Of course she is doing very well! She was raised in vain and fat, and the child was taken by her own nanny, so she didn't need her to hold her, but she just stayed in the house every day to enjoy the cool, without showing her face! She was born This girl can sit in confinement for a few months without any problems, and she is the only one in the whole capital city, or even the whole Dahua!"

Yiqing was speechless, the second aunt heard that she came from a noble family, she was arrogant and arrogant, she couldn't get along with the first aunt, it seemed wrong to mention her.

Approaching the second gate, Grandma Pang Da saw that the servants were far away behind her, she lowered her voice and said to Yi Qing: "I was in a hurry to go home because... our old lady lives in the Buddhist hall, these few days I'm not feeling well, and I don't want me to serve her close by, but let the second aunt and the two girls from the Yu family take care of her close by. But those two from the Yu family can't be negligent! I have to keep a close eye on them all the time!"

Yiqing came to her senses and asked, "The two girls from the Yu family? You mean Yu Peizhu?"

"Well, Peizhu and Xiuzhu, the two cousins, can't talk about marriage now!"

Yiqing said: "What's the matter with Aunt Guan? Why do you keep an eye on them?"

Grandma Padang paused, then sighed again: "This old lady gave birth to your first uncle and second uncle. It is said that the biological mother and child should be more intimate, but she did those things. Your grandfather is not at all. I am willing to forgive you, but the two brothers listened to your grandfather the most since they were young. Sons dare not let things that the master cannot tolerate, so your uncles never pleaded or prayed for the old lady in front of the master, but in private they still I often go to visit. Let’s say that this time the old lady was sick, your uncle got a good job, and he was the eldest son in case of accidents to the old lady... So he promised to invite the second aunt and two other cousins ​​to accompany the sick bed, but the old The madam went so far as to insist that your uncle choose one of the two cousins ​​to be his concubine... What do you think this is?"

Yiqing was also stunned, angry and funny, then Mrs Yu was really disgusting, she could even think of such a thing!
"What did my uncle say?"

"Of course your uncle is unwilling! No man in the Pang family can have more than two concubines. We already have two concubines in our house, but the old lady pestered your uncle for a few days and asked him to send away a childless concubine. , Zaina will marry Yu’s cousin and become a noble concubine!”

Yiqing sneered: "What noble concubines and lowly concubines are all concubines? She is not afraid that the Yu family will be laughed at. Besides, even if uncle is willing, grandfather will not agree!"

Who is Pang Shizhi?The Yu family has been abolished by him, how could he let his son Na marry Yu's daughter as a noble concubine?

Grandma Dafa nodded and said, "Of course your grandfather won't agree, and neither will your uncle and I! It's just that Yu Peizhu and sisters live in our house now, so I'm afraid they will make some monsters. Your uncle is careless. I'm afraid that if he accidentally gets it wrong, I will regret it! So I have to go home quickly and be on guard all the time! Is there any concubine's room if I want it? The two sisters of the Yu family have lived in our Pang Mansion for several years. What is it? I know this kind of mind like the palm of my hand, and I must never touch it!"

While speaking, she reached the Chuhua Gate, the carriage was waiting there, Yiqing persuaded her aunt not to worry, then she helped Pang Pang's grandma into the carriage, walked slowly, and watched the carriage leave.
