Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 138 Birthday Dinner
Dong'er got the answer she wanted, chatted with a few women and then left.

After returning to the house, I found that Chu Nuan and Aunt Huang had come.

Aunt Huang made a dress for Chu Zhi with her own hands, and the three of them are trying it on in the room!
Seeing Dong'er, Chu Zhi asked, "Why have you been gone for so long?"

"The servant watched Lao Li leave with his own eyes, and then went to the garden to talk to some women. Didn't you leave some fabrics last time? The servant made handkerchiefs and gave them all to those women. .”

Chu Nuan understood Dong'er's intention in an instant, smiled and said to Chu Zhi: "Dong'er is becoming more and more clever now, you rewarded her with those materials, she is good, she will use it as a favor to ask you for news, it is really the best of everything." Use. Tell me, what exactly did you find out."

The last sentence was addressed to Dong'er.

"Young lady loves your servants, but the servants don't need the material, so I can't waste it, and I have a good place to go." Dong'er said with a smile, and then said, "After Lao Li delivered the things, the sixth girl made an excuse Not Hungry dismissed Lao Li, turned around and asked the maid to throw away the food box, and told the maid to spread the word outside, saying that the things sent over were bad, girl, listen, it’s thanks to them to do such a thing !"

Chu Zhi asked: "Does Lao Li know?"

"do not know."

"That's good."

Seeing that the girl had finished trying on the clothes, Dong'er stepped forward to help Chu Zhi take them off.

Aunt Huang asked with a smile, "What do you think, girl? Does it still fit?"

"Auntie is really skillful, it fits very well, I like it very much." Chu Zhi smiled and said to Dong'er, "You hang up the clothes first, and I will wear them tomorrow."

Aunt Huang is using a fabric of fresh green buds, embroidered with winter jasmine flowers. The most delicate thing is the hem of the skirt, one fold after another has been pressed over carefully, and nothing can be seen after putting it on. Only then did I realize that the petals of the winter jasmine were faintly visible while walking, and the corners of the skirt were made into small leaves, one by one, and pearls fell, not to mention the dark patterns embroidered with silver silk thread up.

It is enough to show that the people who made this clothes are very good at embroidery and ingenious.

Seeing that Chu Zhi liked it, Aunt Huang's face was full of joy.

Chu Nuan covered her mouth and sneered, "The clothes my aunt made are very thin, and the cold wind is blowing right now, so I won't be afraid of freezing you if you wear them tomorrow, and you will be fooled all day long."

"What? Is this delicious?" Chu Zhi squinted at Chu Nuan.

"What kind of flavor do I eat? Is it my aunt after all? Isn't it just a matter of saying what kind of tricks I want, just to envy you?"

The two laughed and played around for a while.

Nanny Qian came over with cakes and hot tea.

The three cleaned their hands and talked while eating pastries.

Aunt Huang asked: "I heard from the maids that you haven't greeted your mother today?"

"I originally planned to go, but my mother sent a message to say that there is no need, Zuo is the main event at night, and she is not feeling well, so just ask me to go to Rongning Hall to ask for peace."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Nuan sneered: "Forget it, I heard that my mother prepared a lot of jewelry for Sixth Sister early in the morning. How did you do well then? You feel unwell when you come here?"

"Nuaner!" Aunt Huang glanced at Chu Chunuan, "Say less."

But Chu Zhi didn't mind: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Huang said: "Originally there was nothing, but I heard that the jewelry that Madam prepared for Miss Six came from Linglong Pavilion, and it was said that it was on credit again. After the third Madam found out, she became very angry and threatened to buy it tonight." I want to settle accounts with Madam, I am worried that there will be trouble at your birthday banquet tonight."

In fact, Aunt Huang was euphemistic, and Mrs. Wu said it was credit, but in fact it was for nothing.

But after all, she is his wife, and no matter how she is Chu Zhi's biological mother, there are some things that Aunt Huang has a good relationship with, but it is hard to say them too bluntly.

But Chu Zhi already understood.

He said: "It's okay, just look at it tonight. I haven't even seen a piece of the jewelry on the left and right. If I want to settle the score, I'm looking for my mother. What does it have to do with me?"

Aunt Huang said: "That's right, but I'm thinking about it."

Chu Zhi smiled and said: "No, Auntie is also worried about me, it's always good to mention me more."

Hearing this, Aunt Huang's smile became even more charming.

Seeing Chu Zhi sighed in his heart, no wonder his father favored Aunt Huang, even now with Chu Nuan, she is full of charm, especially those eyes.

Chu Zhi thought so, and said, "Auntie's eyes are so beautiful."

"Really?" Aunt Huang didn't expect Chu Zhi to say this suddenly, she was slightly taken aback.

"Extremely beautiful!" Chu Zhi said seriously.

Aunt Huang smiled and said nothing.

At that moment, Chu Zhi only felt that Aunt Huang's smile had some deep meaning, but he didn't think about it.

But at night, Chu Zhang set up eight tables in the front hall to celebrate the birthdays of Chu Zhi and Chu Nuan.

Because spring just started and it was cold, the old lady took charge of the water table, and there was laughter and joy.

There are two types of water mats, one is that all the dishes are hot dishes with soup and water in them; the other is running water mats, where wooden strips are floated on the water channel for guests to use.

Now the Chu Mansion is running the first type, the water mat that is popular in Luojing.

Chu Xuanhe sat next to Chu Zhi on the right, and Chu Nuan sat on the left.

Strange to say, originally Chu Xuan didn't talk to Chu Nuan very much, she thought this person was too flirtatious, and since the old lady didn't like it, Chen also went with him and didn't ask Chu Xuan to associate with Chu Nuan.

Now that Chu Nuan and Chu Zhi have a good relationship, Chu Xuan and Chu Nuan are also getting better.

During the banquet, Chu Xuan picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it on a bone plate made in a sky-blue official kiln in front of Chu Zhi: "This is a peony jelly dish, and the abalone and sea cucumber in it are very rare now, fifth sister, hurry up and try it." How does it taste, the cook at home specially learned it from Luo Jing's master."

In the previous life, Prince Rui's residence once held a water banquet, which was Luo Jing's water banquet, but at that time Chu Zhi was watched by the old concubine, and he could only endure it if he wanted to eat, for fear that the old concubine would say that she was ignorant , I'm sorry.

Now, after only one sip, Chu Zhi fell in love with it.

"good to eat!"

"Then you try this again. This is Bibosan Wan, and this one is cloud-covered fermented bean curd meat, and next to it is scallion-grilled tiger-head carp." Chu Xuan smiled and pinched Chu Zhi, who quickly waved his hand, "Enough is enough, third sister, you eat too, and you just take care of me."

"You are my younger sister, so I will naturally take care of you!"

The Chen family has one son and two daughters, and Chu Nuan is the youngest, because she is often lectured by her elders and sisters because she loves to play, and she can't get along with her concubine sister. Now that she meets Chu Zhi, she naturally wants to enjoy the advantages of being an older sister.

After she finished speaking to Chu Zhi, she looked at Chu Nuan again: "Sister Seven, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll help you pick it up."

Chu Nuan hurriedly said no need, she just came by herself.

Didn't you see that because she is sitting here, the eldest lady has already glanced at the third girl several times!
It's just that the third girl is careless and careless, so she didn't notice it.
