good wife

Chapter 46 The Pearl Was Stolen
Not only Gu, everyone in the hall was shocked!

The old man and Su Wei got up from their seats and took a closer look at each other.Su Wei looked at several people and asked, "Where did you get this?"

Su Qing scratched his head with his hands, and smiled embarrassedly: "This is made by the joint efforts of the four of us. The wooden frame of this screen was obtained from Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and the frame was made on a sunny day, written by the three of us, brothers and sisters." Longevity character, from the sunny day to decorate, the four of us painted together."

Su Ming had a smug look on his face, and asked Mrs. Gu: "What does mother think? Are you satisfied?"

Gu's face was full of joy, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Okay! It's rare that you have a heart. Satisfied! Satisfied! Mother is very satisfied!"

The old man looked at the four people in disbelief, and then looked at the screen. Yes, judging from the workmanship of the screen, it was indeed not the work of a famous craftsman. The landlord with some edges and corners clearly saw that the work was not detailed enough and the lines were not smooth enough.Looking at the longevity character again, it is indeed the handwriting of the three children!
The old lady nodded and praised: "Good! What a good boy! It's hard for you to come up with such a good idea for your mother! It shows your filial piety."

Su Wei also shook his head lightly and said, "Unexpectedly, the four of you can have such patience to make something. What's more, it's so ingenious and amazing! How long did it take you to make this?"

Su Qing thought for a while, and replied: "After my son came back, I started to work on it. The idea was made by Yiyi, and most of the words on it came from her hand. My second brother and I just fought, and we still have to deal with it." Thank you for the sunny day! Without him, we don't know where to find a carpenter!"

Gu stood up, her eyes were already red, "Yiyi, but you didn't stop to prepare this gift even when you had a wound on your head?"

Jingyi didn't speak, but just smiled brightly, as if the sunflowers were in full bloom, it was heartwarming to see.Gu Shi only felt that the sun was shining brightly in the room, warming his heart.As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled Jingyi into his arms, and wept softly.

Su Wei hurriedly persuaded: "Look, the children have good intentions to make you happy, but who would have thought that you were crying, today is a good day, don't let the children see the joke." After finishing speaking, he turned his head He said to the housekeeper who was waiting outside: "Go, find two people to place this screen in the hall of the outer courtyard, so that everyone who comes to the waiting mansion to celebrate his birthday can see my children's demeanor!"

Compared to Su Wei and the old man's excitement, Su Cheng's expression was gloomy. It was also a birthday gift, so how could other people's children put so much effort into it, but what about their own children?Su Cheng sized up his four children, and couldn't help being even more annoyed. He snorted in his heart, none of them lived up to expectations!Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at Liu Shi again.

Sensing Su Cheng's anger, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but feel uneasy. She left the yard because of Mrs. Gu's birthday. If Su Cheng became unhappy later, she asked her to go back, wouldn't it be a waste of thought?She turned her head and glanced at the old lady.

The old lady signaled her to be quiet with her eyes, and Liu Shi was relieved.

At this time, guests have begun to come to celebrate their birthday one after another.Everyone got busy too, the old man, Su Wei, and Su Cheng took a few boys to the outer courtyard.

Here Mrs. Gu cleaned up again, and then someone came to report that the uncle and wife of General Weiyuan's residence had come.Mrs. Gu hurriedly brought Jingyi out to welcome her.

For a while, the backyard was also very lively.

"Sister Jingyi!" A beautiful voice came, Jingyi heard the reputation and looked, it was actually Cui Qianqian.She was standing with Mrs. Dingguo, seeing Jing Yi looking over, she hurriedly walked over.

"Sister Cui, I haven't seen you for more than ten days, and my sister is getting more and more beautiful." Jingyi joked.

"You bad girl, you just love to make fun of me!" Cui Qianqian blushed and gave her an angry look.

"By the way, I came in with my mother just now and saw a screen with a picture of longevity in the front hall of your house. I heard it was made by the three of you, brother and sister?"

"Not all of them. Brother Qingtian also helped a lot. It should be done by the four of us."

Cui Qianqian looked her up and down, "I heard Lord Hou say that it was your idea. Look, our Jingyi is really smart and capable!"

Jingyi smiled embarrassedly, "Sister, stop making fun of me. It's just a little cleverness, it's not smart at all."

Jingyi looked at the sky, "The banquet is about to start, let's go there." Then she pulled Cui Qianqian and went to the hall together.

The two found seats and sat down, Jingyi looked around, the table was about to start, but there was still no sign of Mrs. Liu.Jingyi walked to a pearl of sweet-scented osmanthus in front of the hall, and the little sparrow on the branch of the sweet-scented osmanthus bounced to the end of the branch, and then flew to Jingyi's shoulder, chirping a lot.

Jingyi rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand to beckon Haitang, and whispered a few words, after Haitang listened, she covered her mouth and snickered a few words, then got up and walked towards Gu's yard.

Seeing Haitang walking away, Jingyi called softly: "Siqin!"

A woman in fine clothes appeared in front of Jingyi.

Jingyi asked her to listen to her, and whispered a few words, the corner of the piano player's mouth twitched, as if trying to hold back something, and when Jingyi finished speaking, the piano player disappeared again.

Jingyi lifted her skirt, went to the hall, and took a seat next to Mrs. Gu.As soon as he was seated, Mrs. Liu also entered the hall.

Seeing that everyone was present, Mrs. Gu ordered the banquet to open.All of a sudden, the hall was full of toasts, words of congratulations and praises came rushing forward, it was really overwhelming, it was so lively!
Halfway through the banquet, a maid hurriedly entered the hall and whispered something in Liu's ear.

Liu Shi looked at Gu Shi pretending to be embarrassed.Gu said softly: "Since you have something to do in the yard, go and do it first, but you have to come back earlier, and I'm still waiting for your play!"

Mrs. Liu agreed and left in a hurry.

Jingyi raised her eyebrows lightly, and said in her heart: Mrs. Liu, you really don't want to die until you reach the Yellow River!Today, I'll let you know what it means to never stand up again!

Here until the end of the banquet, Mrs. Liu did not turn around.Gu Shi and the others didn't take it to heart, they just thought it was some concubine who was making trouble in the yard.Mrs. Gu led the crowd to rest for a while, and then heard a report from outside, saying that the stage had been prepared in the flower hall and the show could begin.

Mrs. Gu led the female guests to the flower hall, and just after listening to the show, Mrs. Liu came back smiling.

After Mrs. Liu took her seat, she shook her head slightly in the direction of the old lady.The old lady narrowed her eyes and continued to watch the play calmly.

The gongs and drums began to beat again on the stage, and this time the song was "Eight Immortals' Birthday".The maids began to pour tea for the guests one after another, and removed the cakes and replaced them with fruits.Mrs. Liu was excited at the sight, and clapped her hands in applause. It didn't matter that she applauded, but she bumped into a maid who was serving fruit.
