Lucky not to forget

Chapter 104

Today is the old man's [-]th birthday, so don't expect to get up early in the morning to put on makeup, and after noon, he will take Cuiping Liuer to Xie's mansion, and the carriage will drive to Hengyang Street under the archway, and he will open the curtain to see the gate of Xie's mansion. There was an endless stream of guests, probably because Xie Guan was promoted to a higher level yesterday, and officials from all government departments came to congratulate him.

Instruct Yiwei to park the car at the west corner gate. There is already a maidservant waiting on the porch. Mrs. Zhou said, "Why did you come here? The three old aunts arrived in the past half an hour, and they missed you just now!" Come up to help , said with a smile, "I haven't seen you in the past half a month, and the little master has grown up again."

Wu Wang smiled and said as he walked, "A while ago I heard that Fangling and uncle are coming, but now it's here?"
A few young servants carrying a fruit plate came in a hurry, and because they were walking in a hurry, they almost bumped into Wuwang. Mrs. Zhou separated her and spat, "Where do you bump into someone who doesn't have eyes?" I met a girl, and the old lady will kill you alive!"
The little servants were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, "Girl, spare your life. It was the slaves who tried to kill you. I frightened you. Let's slap your mouth to relieve your anger." There were crackling noises.
Wang Wang felt sorry for them, and hurriedly said, "Forget it, forget it, it's not a good day, get up quickly and work hard, and go to your work."
The three young servants hurried away with their chests bowed and their waists bowed as if they had been pardoned.
Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said, "These monkey cubs just lack discipline, and they are all so irritable that they have never seen a big scene." Turning back to the previous question, she said, "My little aunt and uncle Zhang arrived yesterday evening. My brothers and sisters have also brought them, and now they are in the garden where she lives in the head."
Ever since she was brought to Beiping by Lu Zhiyao, she had never seen Fangling again, so she asked, "How is uncle? How is Fangling doing?"
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "What's good or not? It's just a matter of living. My aunt is blessed, and I'm panting in the heat of the day. In terms of appearance, I can't compare with aunt Pei."
Going around the Taihuating Pavilion to Qinfang Garden, you can hear laughter and laughter in the garden from a distance. It seems that the family members and the wives who came to congratulate are all gathered together.After entering the Chuihua Gate and going forward, the little girl reported, "The great aunt is back."
After opening the door curtain and entering, everyone in the room stood up, stretched their skirts and said, "Greetings to the princess."
Wu Wang said with a smile, "They are all my own people, what do you want to do with these hypocrites! Hurry up and excuse me." As he spoke, he went to salute in front of the old lady, and then saluted with three aunts one by one.
Mrs. Xie looked out the door and asked, "Why didn't Brother Zhen come?"
Wu Wang said, "I'm busy in the yamen, I'll come here to celebrate my grandfather's birthday when I'm done with the official duties at hand."
The old lady Xie nodded, Xie Shufang smiled and said, "Look at the old lady, this nephew and son-in-law are always on the mind, our brothers and sisters just go to the back."

The old lady Xie said proudly, "That's natural, if your elder brother is as promising as Mr. Pei, I will still feel pain."

Wuwang pursed his lips and smiled, in fact, when Pei Zhencai came home, the old lady didn't give him any good face. She hated him for taking her away quietly and married without a matchmaker. When she saw him, she almost bit him For a piece of meat, Pei Zhen suffered a lot at that time. When he came back to the door, he was reprimanded by the grandfather, who wanted to keep her and sent him back. He knelt in the garden when he was in a hurry. Liang Guan, wearing a court dress with red radish and green edge, was exposed to the sun for two hours, sweat dripped down his temples, and the back of his collar was wet all over, as if he had eaten all the hardships of his life, she The old lady was so distressed that she burst into tears, but the old lady kept her face stern and unmoved. She didn't agree to let him take him back until the sun was setting and she ordered someone to wake him up to speak.Later, when he came to Xie's mansion for a while, the grandfather and the old lady didn't want to see each other. Thanks to Pei Zhen's thick skin, he couldn't beat him or scold him, and he knew the current affairs and would please him. Now that he has won the compliments of the elders in his family, he has finally completed his merits and deeds .
Xie Shuzhen pulled her to look, and said in a low voice, "Are you going to move around a lot these days? This child looks big, if he's too lazy to stay in the room all day, he might have to suffer when he gives birth later."

Before Wu Wang could speak, the eldest grandma Mingyu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Just don't worry, my aunt. Grandpa Pei was an imperial physician in his ancestors, and he is proficient in medical science. Sister Chun invited four or five midwives to wait at home when she was pregnant. It makes sense. Our uncle heard people say that yesterday, in the early morning, Uncle Pei asked for leave in advance and wanted to stay at home to take care of his wife's confinement."

The whole room roared with laughter, and several wives who came to celebrate their birthdays also said, "No, our master said it when he came back, this Mrs. Pei is really unexpected, I have never seen someone who asked for leave in the court for this, the princess and Mrs. Fu Zhenzhen has a deep affection, which is enviable."

Wu Wang blushed, sat down next to the old lady, and muttered, "This man is real, why didn't he tell the emperor privately, but he wanted to mention it in the early morning, so that it would be known to everyone, it would be embarrassing."
The old lady Xie stretched out her hand to hold her in her arms, and said softly, "What's the matter, my uncle loves you, he is not ashamed of a man, why are you ashamed! You are such a blessing, I'm afraid it's hard in the world Xun, other people's eyes are too hot, who will laugh at you!"

The Lu family of the third room said, "Sister, my uncle has a lot of contacts, let him pay attention. Your second sister has reached the age of Ji, and she should be called someone else. I didn't like the few houses I saw before. Last month, the king of Nanping County sent someone I don’t know what to do if I come to say goodbye to his Yao’er, but it would be better if someone knows the basics.”

Wuwang couldn't help but sigh, these three aunts are so pitiful, they didn't have a son and a half daughter themselves, they just made wedding clothes for others, worrying about Shendu and Fangxia, at first she didn't like her very much, but later she thought about her I think it's not easy for her.He said, "Don't worry, Auntie, my sister will take care of me anyway."

The wife of Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, said, "Uncle Shunchang's eldest son is only a weak crown, and he will be a hereditary commander in the future. I have seen that he has a good character and appearance. If you are willing, I will help you as a matchmaker. Taifu is a man who is going to match your girl, thank you for thinking of it."

All the female relatives started talking about their children's marriage again. Some family begged for a shrew, and another family's daughter married a prodigal son. It was very lively for a while.Wuwang leaned on his grandmother and said, "Why didn't you see the grandfather?"

"Mr. Hou brought an iron-headed general in the morning. He said he was the best among the crickets. Unconvinced, he took the bully that Brother Zhen gave him last time and went to fight in Langya Pavilion. Others celebrated his birthday. He’s fine, he doesn’t ask about anything, he’s getting older as he gets older.” Mrs. Xie complained, then lowered her voice, “I’m worried about your second brother right now, he’s not young at 25, he’s busy in the yamen all day. I don’t even want to talk about my relationship. Brother Du’er’s sons and daughters can already recite the Three Character Classic. How sooner or later is he going to make a fool of himself if he delays so much? This kid, I didn’t expect him to be stubborn. Your second aunt is getting sick in a hurry. I’m thinking about it To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it, if you see him, just persuade him."
Wu Wang is a bit embarrassed, how can I have the position to say what I am like now, I thought she was married and all grievances and grievances should be settled, but Shen Xing has not come out for a while in the past five years, if he really said it, wouldn't it Does it annoy him?He hesitated, "I'm afraid it won't work if I say it, but it will make him more resistant."

The old lady said, "You can do what you want, as long as you look at your second uncle, there is such a brother behind him, you can't let him die." After finishing speaking, he sighed helplessly. Willing to ask for it, but Dafang's prudent words are not enough. I can't tell how many I have accepted in the past two years, and I am so angry with him. It just so happens that the Department of General Political History lacks experience in the Department of Experience, so I donate it to him. An official was sent far away to Beizhili.

At this time, the gong was sounded in the back garden, and the girl opened the door curtain and came in to report that the theater troupe was ready and asked the old lady to order a play. On the couch, it is expected that the actor has already babbled and sang, mixed with the applause of men from time to time. She has felt irritable for the past two days, and she didn't want to join in the fun, so she went back to the old lady and wanted to go back to Silver Hook. Going to the courtyard for a rest, the old lady was considerate of her and agreed.

Seeing that the sky was getting closer, Cuiping and Liu'er had already given her permission to go shopping around, leaving only an eleven or twelve-year-old half-grown girl in the side room, who was dozing with her head propped up, and she didn't disturb her. Holding an umbrella, I went to the Silver Hook Courtyard, and went to the dripping eaves of the Jufeng Garden to look inside. Now it is not easy to see Yuhua. Ever since her daughter died, she has devoted herself to the Buddha and stayed in the Buddha all day long. You don't come out in the hall, depending on who you are, if you disturb her Qingxiu, you will put on a face to others, and you don't know the slightest bit of human sophistication. Everyone has their own plans, she is willing to always be with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, or there is her reason is unknown.

Going forward, she walked to the bank of Yanzhi Lake, and suddenly saw under the embankment a willow, a man wearing a white jade crown with eight beams and a golden dragon patch with cloud patterns on a plain ground standing upright. She felt a sudden in her heart, and wondered why Zhu Gaoxu came here. The two of them hadn't seen each other since the day she came out of the pavilion, and there was no one else at the moment, so they were embarrassed after seeing each other, so they hurriedly turned around and wanted to take a detour, and took a step when they didn't want to, the man said quietly, "I'll wait here After half a day, it was so easy to wait, why did my sister leave as soon as she saw me?"

She only felt that her scalp was numb, and it was impossible to escape, so she smiled dryly, "Is the King of Han free today?"

Zhu Gaoxu squinted at her, his eyes on her abdomen were as cold as ice, and there seemed to be a haze between his brows and eyes. He pursed his lips tightly to ignore her, walked over slowly, walked around her, and said earnestly, "You only treat her as me." Why do you come to a third-rank official's house for nothing? I just heard that my sister is coming! My sister has been avoiding me for the past two years, and I have never been able to see her. .”

Don't look at the sudden jump on the temples. After four years of fighting experience, Zhu Gaoxu is more domineering than before. Whenever he gets close to her, she can't breathe. She lowered her eyes and lowered her eyebrows. If you are someone else's wife, you should live deep in your boudoir and dare not exceed the rules."
