The Blessing of the Qi Nv of Transmigration

Chapter 61 Birthday Surprise
July [-]th is Zhang Fuzhen's birthday, and the whole family celebrated his birthday with excitement, setting up four tables in Mrs. Zhang's courtyard, and invited a troupe to sing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Everyone sat on the boat to watch and listen. The lake breeze is blowing on all sides, which makes me feel a little cooler than indoors.But everyone is shaking a fan, the movement is a little big, and the whole body is sweating. A lot of birthday gifts have been collected, but it is like this every year, and there is nothing new, Zhang Fuzhen is a bit lazy.

Because of the marriage proposal in Kaichun, Yang Feier did not enter Zhang's house again in order to avoid suspicion, but personally made a bucket of ice cream about three liters and asked his assistant Dong Ningxuan to deliver it to Zhang's house.

The servant hugged him all the way to the lake, rowed a boat to send it to the painting boat, and reported it as a congratulatory gift from the shopkeeper Phil Tiantianhu. Only Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Fuzhen knew it must be from Mrs. Hu, and when the servant presented it to him, What I saw was an exquisite wooden box one and a half feet high, wrapped entirely in cowhide, the front and the front were all painted beige, with four or five blooming roses hand-painted on it, the other sides were all red walnut color, and two wide leather belts were wrapped around it. After passing the wooden box for a week, it is made of porcelain with rivets, and there is a strap on the top cover, which is full of exotic wind. Just looking at the wooden box, it is a good product, and it is not shabby as a birthday gift.

Zhang Fuzhen opened the wooden box, but saw a white thick quilted plain brocade bag with an ice blue envelope on which was written "Congratulations on the birthday". When he opened the envelope, there was a piece of light blue letter paper inside. , with a quill pen dipped in blue and black ink to write eight sentences and five words:

"Let's talk about singing and let go, and talk to each other about drinking.

Make a cup for me and make three wishes with you.

One wishes the world to be peaceful, and the other wishes the body to be strong.

The third wish is to come to the old age, and to meet the king several times. "

Zhang Fuzhen looked at it, and was very familiar with such a small and beautiful font. It was rare that there was no typo today. It seemed that he had seen the girl sitting at her desk, taking a quill pen to carefully write strokes and strokes on this letter paper, Can't help showing a smile, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank the fruit wine in it.

Open the bag, there is a layer of ice cubes on the top, remove the ice cubes, and there is a straight porcelain jar with red peony pattern on the bottom, and when you open the lid, there is half a jar of things like snow, frost, and ice inside, and a handful of sturdy ones on the top. There is a hemispherical iron spoon, and there is a piece of paper next to it. When you open it, there are three words of instructions written at the beginning, which introduces the name of the product, main ingredients, eating methods, taboos, etc., which is very detailed.

According to the method mentioned on the paper, Zhang Fuzhen made a ball for everyone with a small cup, and tasted it with a small spoon. Delightful, indescribably cool and refreshing, the heat disappears immediately.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "I often hear that there are people who send charcoal in the snow, but today they send ice in the summer. It is the same."

Zhang Fuzhen didn't know whether it was because of eating the ice cream or something else, but it was very sweet.

When it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Zhang asked people to watch people from morning till night for the first three days. Zhang Fuzhen was also doing everything as usual, but at the end of the day, he disappeared again, so he had to bite the bullet and ask Zhang An to send the gift to him. He praised his son, who was studying hard because of the autumn curtain, and invited Miss Wu's family to stay in the mansion after the autumn curtain came out.

The Wu family are not fools, so they still can't see it, and immediately shouted to divorce, Zhang An was at a loss for what to do, but the Miss Wu family went out of the boudoir in person, and said to her grandparents, mother, uncles and aunts: " Mr. Zhang is diligent in his studies, and Qiu Wei is about to end, in terms of time, he really dare not delay for a moment, please be considerate of grandparents."

Why did the Wu family really want to withdraw from this marriage? One is Zhang Boling and Zhang Shangshu's favorite Longze, who is in his prime and has a high position; the other is that Zhang Fuzhen himself is talented and elegant. In the day, there will be a loud voice and Luoxia, and the light will shake the wild. Such a good son-in-law is second to none in Huaifu in An'an.

Now hearing that her own girl came out and let her go down the steps, she went down the donkey along the slope. Mrs. Wu snorted coldly and said, "In this way, it makes sense to some extent. Then let him come back after the autumn curtain."

Zhang An sent the message to Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang readily agreed.

On the third day of September, Zhang Fuzhen passed the court examination. Five days later, he went to see Zhang Fuzhen's public announcement. When she told her about it, Yang Feier was very happy for him, and Zhang Fuzhen was happy when he was happy, but he also said lightly: "This scholar can go to the exam last year. In order to win this case, Master, just to be on the safe side, He insisted on suppressing me for a year, and next year Chunwei will ask me to take part, if I pass the exam again, then it will be considered a great joy."

Yang Feier said: "You have already passed the examination of scholar at a young age, how many people have white beards and are still children."

Zhang Fuzhen said: "Those people are just mediocre, how can they come out to study, how can they compare with me."

Yang Feier knew that his birthday was July [-]th. Although he couldn't calculate the date of his birthday in the Gregorian calendar, Yang Feier had a friend whose birthday was July [-]th in his previous life, who was very close to Zhang Fuzhen, and that friend It's a Leo, and looking at Zhang Fuzhen's usual temperament, he can almost be sure that he is a Leo, so it's not surprising that he can say such a thing.

Now that the hospital exam is over and the exam is very good, we have to fulfill our promise. Mrs. Zhang urges Zhang Fuzhen to pick up Miss Wu's family to stay in the house every day. Zhang Fuzhen doesn't say no, but there is always a reason to shirk. , until September [-]th is Yang Feier's birthday, and it is a legitimate reason. Mrs. Zhang feels guilty on Yang Feier's side, but what her husband said is also reasonable. What's more, the husband is in the temple, so he is naturally more considerate than himself as a woman in the inner house. Fortunately, Yang Feier is still young, so let's take a look at it slowly, maybe there will be a turning point.So he personally prepared a set of gold haircuts inlaid with red and sapphires for Zhang Fuzhen to send to celebrate his birthday.

On Yang Feier's birthday, she finally fulfilled one of Shen's wishes, and made a lot of fun for her daughter.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Shen and her aunt Cui took Feng Ling and Feng Min to the Chinese vegetable market to buy all kinds of vegetables and fruits. For all Chinese people, regardless of ancient or modern times, various dinners are always indispensable for happy events.At noon, the long dining table in the kitchen was carried to the main room and placed horizontally. Yang Feier, the little birthday star, sat in the center and accepted everyone's birthday gifts with a smile.

The boys who went to school in the academy also came back, took an extra hour off, and even brought Xiu Jichang and Wei Wenchu ​​with them.

Since living in Hu's house for three days during the Qingming Festival, Xiu Jichang often praised the delicious dishes of Hu's family. He came with Hu Kang almost every Muxiu. Not cheap gifts of various colors came to give to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen, and said, "It's too much trouble, I would like to express my thanks, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen were about to refuse, and said with a smile that they had the right to cook. refuse.Especially that Xiu Jichang, who is as slender as Hu Kang, has a handsome appearance, a pair of smiling big eyes under thick eyebrows, thin lips and upturned corners of his mouth, and a natural face with joy. If he smiles, it will make people feel like a spring breeze and a warm sun. He was very happy, and with his excellent grades, Hu Kang benefited a lot from being with him. He respected him as a senior brother, and the three of them often discussed Confucian classics together with Wei Wenchu, and they had a close relationship.Based on the mentality of loving the house and Wu, the family also likes it very much. In the past half a year, they have gradually integrated into the Hu family, and they are not considered outsiders. I heard that today is Hu Xiuer's birthday and I want to come to join in the fun.

Together with Zhang Fuzhen, eight boys, big and small, sat upside down on a dining table.On the left hand of Yang Feier sits Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Hu Yongqiang. On his right, Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Shen Fangrui. Opposite him sits Mr. Wei Wenchu, Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Shen Xin, Mr. Hu Guang, Mr. Hu Chang, Mr. Shen, Mr. Hu Kang. He Xiu Jichang.

The birthday presents prepared by Hu's two elders were a hairpin and a whole set of small wooden boxes for needlework and embroidery. Wang said: "My beautiful girl, Xiu'er, doesn't pay attention to dressing at all. What to wear, now you are doing well at home, when you are free, grandma will teach you some embroidery, since you are about to grow into a big girl, you have to learn, at least you can make some simple clothes in the future."

Yang Feier smiled and nodded yes, took it respectfully and thanked him.

The two elders of the Shen family prepared a pair of gold and jade inlaid jewelry bracelets. Hu Yongqiang sealed a red envelope of 30 taels of silver for each of the two elders during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Look, and said: "Father, mother, this birthday gift you gave is too expensive. The little money given to you is for your convenience. How can you buy such an expensive thing for a child?"

Zhou said: "Your father and I live here more comfortably than when we were at home. We have money and have nothing to spend. The bracelet we bought here is also a gift to the Buddha. Don't worry, we still have a lot of money saved here! "

Mr. Shen brought over the box containing the gold bracelet, stuffed it in Yang Feier's hand, and said, "Now we are being given this birthday gift with your money, and we are already very embarrassed. If you don't accept it, you will despise us." Poor, when the family was still in ruins, although it was not as rich as you are now, there were still a few acres of Susukida and a little bit of production. If the two families are as harmonious as they are now, when it comes to my granddaughter’s birthday, It is also necessary to prepare something that can be sold to celebrate her birthday."

Yang Feier took the brocade box containing the gold bracelet in his hand and opened it, and said with a smile: "No matter what you give today, it is all from your heart. Coincidentally, I don’t have a bracelet either, so I just accepted it. Thank you, grandpa and grandma.” He has already taken out the bracelet and put it on his hand, it is golden and shiny, and against Yang Feier’s slender and white wrist, it complements each other perfectly , complement each other.

Shen Shi and Cui Shi prepared two brocade clothes for Yang Feier, the colors were bright, the materials were high quality, and the style was fashionable, they were both sewn by themselves in a leisurely time.However, Hu Yongqiang and Shen Fangrui brought a carriage from the back room, a white pony with pink and purple cotton cloth stretched across the body, and turned into the courtyard from the back, like a dream.
