The beauty of the lady

Chapter 90 Happy birthday (4)
"What can I do, our Zhou Mansion has nothing to do with Chengbei Hou Mansion." I just don't know if the uncle will make any moves behind the scenes.

In the afternoon, when Zhou Zhuang and his wife came back, they heard that Zhao Chengyin's family had come, and the Zhao family still regretted it. After all, they forgot the time.

"Uncle's health has gradually improved, so don't worry, mother."

"Well, with you here, my mother is much relieved." After finishing speaking, she seemed to think of something, and said to her: "September 66nd is your uncle's grandfather's [-]th birthday. Let's go there then. There will be many people there, so don't lose your etiquette with your brother."

"66? Uncle and grandpa don't look that old." Obviously, he looks only in his early fifties, but considering that his cousin is also 21 this year, his age is about the same.

Mrs. Zhao was immediately amused by her daughter's words: "How can you talk like that? You really look young. If your grandmother is still alive, she will be 50 years old this year."

"It turns out that my grandmother is so much younger than my uncle and grandfather."

"That's right, your grandmother is the old lady of the old matriarch. She has been loved and cared for in every way since she was a child, but in the end..." Zhao's eyes were stained with a tinge of melancholy, which was so intense that it was almost impossible to get rid of it.

Zhou Meimo, based on age, the old lady at that time was only in her 30s, is this also called an old woman?
"Then what do we need to prepare?" Since it is the old man's birthday, there must be many children from honorable families who will go there. Their identities may be revealed on that day, and there may be something at that time. Changes are also uncertain.

"My mother has already prepared the birthday gift, you don't have to do anything." This kind of thing is still suitable for her, after all, her daughter has not been exposed to these things, so there will be no time difference. Of course, the Duke's Mansion will not care about these things. , but can't let others see the joke.

Usually she has nothing to do, most of the time she spends doing embroidery, playing games with herself, and finding a comfortable place to sleep for an hour or two.

Xuan Qingrong went back after living here for three days. She was not used to having no one chattering in her ears.

A few days ago, Yun Zhongren had also found a Xixi gentleman named Tao for Zhou Tang. After becoming a Jinshi, Emperor Hongyuan wanted to be an official but was rejected by him. Later, he became a lecturer in an academy in the capital, and then was recruited by Yun Zhongren, and now he was recommended to Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei also listened to a lesson about Mr. Tao's knowledge outside, and the explanation was really good and vivid. Moreover, since Mr. Tao came, Zhou's mansion has been more or less swept away from the businessman's atmosphere, which added a little bit of excitement. A scholarly and elegant.

At the end of the day, there was another faint sound of silk and bamboo in my ears. Because the distance was a bit far away, I couldn't hear it very clearly, but it also made people feel peaceful.

At this time of day, Mr. Tao would teach Zhou Tang how to play the piano, and if it was a relaxing night, he would play games with each other.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of September. Early in the morning, the family got into the carriage and went to the Duke's Mansion.

It was only the beginning of the morning when I came to the Duke's Mansion. The main reason was that if it was too late, I would bump into many people, which would be somewhat embarrassing.

At this time, all the people in the Duke's Mansion were eating at the old lady's Shouxi Hall, and today there were a few more people, the second master of the Duke's Mansion, Xuan Jingxi, his wife Yang, and their two sons and their wife. The following five or six grandchildren, a family of two NO.30 people, gathered together, not to mention how lively it was.

"Old lady, Miss Cousin is here." The big maid next to the old lady opened the bamboo curtain for their family and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the old lady who was having breakfast quickly put down the bowl in her hand and raised her head to greet Mrs. Zhao.

"Shan'er, come here quickly, why are you here so early, have you had breakfast yet?" After finishing speaking, she ordered the mothers around her to prepare bowls and chopsticks for their family to use some more.

"Cousin, come and have dinner with Rong'er." Xuan Qingrong greeted Zhou Mei at another table.

On Wednesday, Zhuang's family greeted the old Duke, the old lady, and the two elders of the second room, and then they were placed on the table respectively.

"It's really Shan'er. When your aunt told me that, I was taken aback. Look at it, she doesn't look exactly like Yue'er." Mrs. Yang pulled Zhao's tears from excitement.

"Okay, Yuru's tears come as soon as you say it. Your son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren are all here, so you are not afraid of being laughed at." The old lady joked with a smile.

Mrs. Yang also smiled awkwardly, wiped away her tears, looked at Mrs. Zhao for a long time before smiling and nodding: "Okay, okay, finally a great good thing is expected, and your second uncle has been thinking about it all these years."

Mrs. Zhao looked at the wrinkled face of the second aunt. Although it was well maintained, it still couldn't resist the erosion of the years.

"It's Shan'er's fault for making the second aunt bother. It's Shan'er's fault for not reporting your two elders' safety."

"Don't say that, it's better than anything else to be able to sit safely next to my aunt." Mrs. Yang picked up a piece of bamboo shoot for her, and urged: "Eat some, seeing that you came here very early, you must have woken up early in the morning." It's early, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Hey, Second Aunt can eat too."

On Zhou Mei's side, there were three girls from the second room of the second master's house, Xuan Qingyu, the eldest daughter of the little long room, Xuan Qingwan, the second daughter, and Xuan Qingpei, the eldest daughter of the second room, and Xuan Qingrong and Zhou Mei. Fascinated.

Xuan Qingyu is 17 years old this year, and has already appointed the eldest grandson of the second old man who is the governor. Because the governor passed away the year before last, the man has to observe filial piety for three years, and he will get married after the new year. If it is not because the young man is an ambitious Yes, presumably the elder of the second bedroom is unwilling, but looking at Xuan Qingyu's quiet eyes, he must also be willing.

And Xuan Qingwan of Xiaochangfang is only eight years old this year, so she is not in a hurry.

As for Xuan Qingpei, the second bedroom, who is 15 years old this year, she has already told her that the marriage ceremony will be in November, and the marriage is also planned to be completed before the year.

Zhou Mei greeted each other with several cousins ​​respectively, and sat down to have breakfast with them.

Thinking about it carefully at this time, there is actually no one married in this generation of the Duke's Mansion, and now the earliest one is Xuan Qingpei from the second room.

Sitting with these flowery girls, I feel that the surrounding atmosphere has become different.

Turning his head to look at the other table, Zhou Tang was sitting next to Xuan Shaoling, drinking white fungus porridge under the service of a servant, and occasionally Xuan Shaoling would wipe the corners of his mouth for him, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Sister Mei, aren't you hungry?" Xuan Qingyu asked with a smile beside her, the smile was like a spring of Wang Qing, pouring into people's hearts.
