The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 271 Birthday (Part [-])

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the Ghost Festival, which was also the day when the Rongshou Hall held banquets to entertain guests.

However, although Uncle Cui and the old lady both said that they would celebrate Xiao Nan's birthday, Xiao Nan is a granddaughter-in-law after all, and there are several layers of elders above her. According to the rules, it is not good to hold a big banquet just for her junior birthday.

In addition, it is now a wartime, and many famous generals and noble children in Beijing followed the saint to Liaodong to kill people, oh no, it was to suppress the rebellion.The remaining female relatives in the capital were worried, and they all had one more task, which was to eat fast and chant Buddha, praying to the Buddha to bless their relatives who were fighting outside.They have no interest in socializing and having fun.

In addition, there is also the current epidemic in Liangzhou, which also makes the atmosphere in Beijing a bit dignified.

Under such circumstances, the Cui family really didn't want to show off.

Xiao Nan also understood, so when Uncle Cui sent the invitation, she tactfully expressed her thoughts: only invite close relatives of Cui and Xiao and close friends of the two of them, as for those relatives who look three thousand miles away, Don't be alarmed.To save someone from calling her the princess of Xiangcheng 'frivolous'.

Seeing Xiao Nan being so reasonable, Cui Youbo was very moved, and while writing the post, he promised to prepare an excellent gift for her.

Xiao Nan heard Uncle Cui talk about "gifts" more than once, and he couldn't help being curious: What kind of birthday present did this guy prepare?

But no matter how Xiao Nan tried to inquire, Cui Youbo was like a gourd with its mouth sawn off, never missing a word.

As for the nail brush placed next to Cui Youbo, I don't know what Cui Youbo plans to give Xiao Nan.

"Really, it's still quite mysterious!"

Xiao Nan shook his head helplessly, but he really got a little excited secretly, and actually began to look forward to the arrival of his birthday.

On the day of his birthday, Xiao Nan got up as usual, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his daughter's chubby apple face.

"Huh? Consonance is already up? It's so early!"

Xiao Nan smiled and kissed Lingxi, and then started to get up.

No idea, but the daughter took out a freshly picked peony flower from behind. The flower bloomed very brightly, and the pink petals stretched as hard as possible. The flower was not small, as big as the mouth of a teacup.

"Aniang, Lingxi wished you a birthday, I wish Aniang a happy birthday!"

Lingxi sent the peony flower to Xiao Nan, and said in a childlike voice, it was hard for this little guy, a small baby, even after reciting such a long sentence, he articulated clearly without saying a single word wrong.

Seeing his daughter's childish little face, Xiao Nan's heart suddenly felt warm, his eyes were sore, and tears were already rolling in his eyes—her daughter, her daughter also knew that she wished her a birthday, still, still Congratulations!

"Hey, Lingxi is so cute!"

For a moment, Xiao Nan didn't know what to say, and hugged his daughter's chubby body into his arms, warm tears flowing wantonly.

"Aniang, this is a birthday gift from Lingxi, Aniang, do you like it or not!"

Lingxi didn't understand that A Niang was going to cry because of Mao, but she still sent the peony flower back to Xiao Nan, and said expectantly.

Lingxi's nanny, Fang Shi, stood aside and quickly interjected: "Princess, the young lady went to the greenhouse to pick it for you. If I want to help, she won't allow it."

Xiao Nan wiped away his tears with a smile, and took the peony with his free hand, as if he had received some rare treasure, nodded vigorously and said: "Enen, I like it, A Niang likes the gift from Lingxi the most!"

"Hee hee, Aye, my mother said she likes it."

Seeing that A Niang finally smiled, Lingxi patted the chubby hand and asked for credit to the old man who was hiding aside.

Being 'betrayed' by his own daughter in public, Cui Youbo came out from behind the curtain of Humen Big Kang in embarrassment, holding a small red lacquered flat box in his hand.

"Hehe, lady, good morning."

When Xiao Nan saw this scene, there was still something he didn't understand. The emotion in his rolling chest gradually subsided, and his reason came back—yes, my daughter is just a little Douding under two years old. Where would those words be said.

Even so, Xiao Nan was also very happy, and looked at the leader Cui Youbo with a little more tenderness.

She nodded slightly, and replied, "Good morning, sir."

Saying that, Xiao Nan put his daughter down on the bed, then got up and ordered the maid to change her clothes.

As for the peony flower, Yuzan took it to the side and found a white porcelain vase, filled it with clean water and inserted it.

As soon as the consonance fell, he ran to Cui Youbo's side, pulled his own Aye's clothes, and said tenderly: "Aye, Auntie accepted my gift... Is Aye good?"

Uncle Cui was feeling embarrassed when his wife broke his little trick. Hearing what his daughter said, he hurriedly reached out to hug her, walked to the outside room, and said as he walked, "Well, Ah Yuan is the most obedient, a smart and good boy." Oh……"

After Xiao Nan finished washing and washing, she changed into a newly made skirt, and then went to the south window of the outer room, and Yulan helped her comb her hair.

Here, Uncle Cui had finished making out with his daughter, and handed over Lingxi to Fang's care, while he came to the south window and knelt beside Xiao Nan.

"Lady, I made this with my own hands, I hope you like it."

Cui Youbo opened the flat square box and put it beside the bronze mirror.

Xiao Nan looked down, and saw that the box was covered with red silk and satin, and on the silk and satin was a white jade hairpin carved with peony flowers.

In good conscience, the carving of this jade hairpin is not very good, but when Xiao Nan heard that it was made by Uncle Cui himself, he couldn't help feeling a little moved.

Reaching out to pick up the white jade hairpin, Xiao Nan played with it carefully, then nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, I, I like it very much."

Saying that, Xiao Nan was about to hand the white jade hairpin to Yulan, so that she could teach her to keep it in place.

Seeing that Xiao Nan was going to wear the white jade hairpin on the spot, Cui Youbo guessed that she really liked the gift he gave him. He was very happy, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Yulan had combed Xiao Nan into a very noble and dignified hairpin, so he actively took the jade hairpin , smiled and said: "I'll come!"

Yulan was very discerning, she hurriedly backed away a few steps to make room for Cui Youbo.

Holding the white jade hairpin, Cui Youbo moved a few steps towards Xiao Nan's side, then carefully sized up her bun, and finally carefully pinned the hairpin on the bun that hangs slightly to the right.

Looking through the bronze mirror, Xiao Nan saw a small white jade peony protruding from his thick bun. Although it was not conspicuous, it was Cui Youbo's wish anyway, so he smiled happily and thanked him repeatedly: "I am very happy." It looks good, hehe, thank you, Qiao Mu, sir."

Cui Youbo seemed to have completed a remarkable work. Now that he heard the praise, he was even happier and waved his hands again and again: "It's not worth anything, as long as the lady is happy. As long as the lady likes it, I will carve a hairpin for the lady every year." Until Their husband and wife are gray-haired.

Xiao Nan felt Cui Youbo's sincerity, for the first time he didn't reject him from the bottom of his heart, leaned back slightly, leaning on Cui Youbo's shoulder, closed her eyes, and murmured: "Okay, I'll wait." For two lifetimes After encountering scumbags, can she still believe in love? !
Just when the husband and wife were deeply affectionate, a consonant voice came from my ears: "Aye, Auntie, why is brother still not here? We should go to pay our respects to our ancestors."

Hearing their daughter's voice, the couple who were cuddling together quickly separated.

Cui Youbo rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said: "Yes, why don't you see Changsheng?"

As he said that, Qin Shi, Changsheng's wet nurse, came in with Changsheng in his arms.

When the little guy saw his parents and sister, he opened his chubby hands excitedly and kept waving, yelling.

Yu Lian also helped Xiao Nan choose a few pieces of jewelry that matched the white jade hairpin, so that it could neither take away the beauty of the white jade hairpin, nor lose the festivities—today is the princess's birthday party, so don't dress too plainly.

As an elder, the Eldest Princess would not come to her daughter's birthday banquet in person, but the three ladies of the Xiao family and several friends of the princess would come, if they were to pick out the wrong one, it would be her negligence.

After dressing up, Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo got up together, one took their son and the other picked up their daughter, and the couple walked towards the main hall.

Xiao Nan consciously invited not many guests, but her "not many" compared to ordinary officials and eunuchs, the number is quite considerable.

Before noon, there was a lot of traffic in front of the gate of Rongshou Hall. Gorgeous carriages of various colors filled the alley in front of the gate, and only the porter's boy was busy without touching the ground.

The banquet was held in the main hall, and Iron Lady and Polygonatum were in charge of entertaining the guests.

Most of the people who came today were close relatives of the Xiao family and the Cui family, such as the three Xiao Bo brothers and their family members, the cousins ​​of Rong Kang Hall, Rong An Hall, and Xiao Nan's girlfriends such as Ah Ming, Cheng Ya, and Lu Yu, as well as Lu Si Qing, Wang Ziqian, Cui Youbo's colleagues, family members, etc... Don't look at the fact that no outsiders were invited, but these alone filled the huge main hall to the brim.

The visitors were either high-ranking officials or noble women, whether they were red or purple, all of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes and accessories, especially in the ear room on the east side of the main hall where the female guests gathered, the whole room was filled with a strong fragrance of cosmetics.

All the female guests congratulated the birthday star one after another, and then chatted with acquaintances in small groups.

For a while, the room was filled with chatter and laughter, filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

But soon, the festive atmosphere was broken, because the guests who came today, besides the invited guests, also had some uninvited guests.

For example, Hou Junjun, it's not a big deal, she actually walked in with Cui Wei's arm.

"Huh? Did you post a message to Mrs. Hou's family too?"

Ah Ming was chatting and joking with Xiao Nan, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Hou Junjun walking slowly, and she couldn't help asking in wonder.

Xiao Nan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously shook his head: "No. I have never had anything to do with the Hou family, and I am only a nodding acquaintance with Lord Hou, and I didn't invite her to come."

Following Ah Ming's line of sight, Xiao Nan finally found this uninvited guest, and said in surprise: "Huh? Why did she come here? Also, when did she get together with San Niang next door? "

Both of them are not good-for-nothing masters, and when they get together, it's either a farce or a tragedy.

However, what Xiao Nan didn't expect was that there was a bigger farce planned to be staged.

In a certain corner of the Weaving Courtyard, A Jin, dressed in full attire, sneaked out of her own yard and carefully walked all the way to the North Courtyard where Cui Lingping lived...

PS: Well, a Sa's biological clock is completely disordered, and he has a headache!
