The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 856 Fanwai, listening to the drama caused disturbances (Yunge cp sixteen)

An autumn rain has dyed the northern capital with brilliant colors.The leaves of the maple tree change from green to yellow and from yellow to red.The sweet osmanthus is fragrant, the chrysanthemums are colorful, and all kinds of melons and fruits are rushing into the streets of the imperial capital. The people happily ushered in the Double Ninth Day.

I don't know from which year, the officials and people of Dayun Imperial Capital began to pray and celebrate for the elderly at home on Chongyang Day. This day has a faint meaning of "Old People's Day".After breakfast, Mrs. Ninghou Yao Yanyu brought her daughter, son, servants and guards back to Yao Mansion with dozens of people.Master Yao Yuanzhi's body became healthy again with the cool weather. When he got up early in the morning, Master Yao and Mrs. Wang dressed up and went to their garden to receive the blessings of their children and grandchildren.

Yao Yuanzhi is old enough to take care of himself at home, and he handed over the power of the cabinet a few years ago, and now he has two sons and two daughters by his side.The eldest son, Yao Yanen, is currently the envoy of the Southeast Economic Strategy, overseeing the government affairs and finance of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. He will definitely not be able to come back at this time.Instead, he sent someone back early to say hello and brought a lot of food, drink and fun.Yao Yanyi has been working in the Ministry of Industry for these years, and now the repairs of the imperial palace, summer palace and other royal gardens are under his management, which is a very lucrative and lucrative job.

The second daughter, Yao Yanyu, is a universally recognized miracle doctor. She works as the first-rank director of the Taiyuan Hospital, acting as the agent of the National Medical Center and the Food and Drug Administration, and compiled the "Dayun Pharmacopoeia". He is also the general whom the rich and powerful are vying to curry favor with.The worst thing is Yao Fengge, the eldest daughter who has been widowed for many years. With the help of her family and younger sister, she has been running a medicine business for many years and has become an invisible rich man.So although the Yao family's current generation can't be said to be in power, it has also earned enough envy and hatred from the people of the world.

The back garden of the Yao Mansion was decorated in a particularly festive manner today, with hundreds of pots of chrysanthemums vying for beauty, a red carpet was spread on the open space in front of the Yuegui Hall, and three tables of banquets were set up on the red carpet. Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao sat down at the main table, Yao Yanyi brought the males in the family to kneel down and salute first, wishing the old man and the old lady good health and prosperity in unison.Afterwards, Yao Yanyi's wife, Ning Shi, brought the family members to salute the two elders.Then sisters Yao Fengge and Yan Yu brought Su Jinyue, Wei Yiyi, sisters Wei Tiantian and Wei Linghao's wife Han to salute.In the end, Wei Zhang brought Wei Lingxiao, Wei Linghao, Wei Lingqin and Wei Lingfeng to salute.

Seeing the dozens of grandchildren and grandchildren in front of him, Mr. Yao was very happy, twirling his gray beard from ear to ear.

After the salute, the family banquet began.Brothers and sisters Yao Yanyi and Ninghou Weizhang accompanied Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao to sit at the main table. In addition, Mr. Yao left Wei Lingxiao and Wei Yiyi alone at the main table, saying that there were too many people on both sides of the table to be crowded together. In fact, everyone knows that Wei Yiyi was named princess by the emperor when he was born, and that although Wei Lingxiao is Yao Yanyu's adopted son, he has repeatedly made meritorious service in the army with all his abilities, and now he is a third-rank General Wei Lie. One level lower than Yao Yanyi.In addition, Yao Shenglin and his cousins ​​took their seats at the table on the left with their nephews, while Su Jinyue sat at the table on the right with the unmarried cousins ​​and nieces of the Yao family.

The delicacies are served one by one, and the jade liquid and fine nectar are slowly poured into the crystal cup.Yao Yanyi took the lead in raising his glass to wish his father and mother good health.Everyone stood up and raised their wine glasses to wish in unison.Old Master Yao cheerfully drained the wine in his glass, then twisted his beard and said, "Today is a family banquet, you don't need to be formal."

Everyone said yes, Mrs. Yao smiled and asked her son: "Have you called a theater troupe today?"

Madam Ning hurriedly responded with a smile: "I know that the old lady likes to listen to operas, so I'm ready to go." After she finished speaking, she nodded to the housekeeper's wife behind her, and the housekeeper's wife waved to the flower barrier, and heard "Dong dong dong" a few drums, the sound of gold and stone accompanied by orchestral music, slowly rising.

The young people on both sides of the table were even more lively. Yao Shenglin's daughter Ruyi was nine years old this year, and she happened to be next to Yao Yanyu's youngest daughter Wei Tiantian, so she asked quietly: "Little aunt, do you want to follow?" Is my aunt going to Jiangnan? I heard that autumn in Jiangnan is very beautiful. The last time my grandfather took me and my brother to Jiangnan was winter, and I came back after spring. I have never seen what autumn in Jiangnan looks like. Woolen cloth."

Also the daughter of Wei Zhang and Yao Yanyu, Wei Tiantian's personality is just the opposite of Wei Yiyi's. She likes to read quietly and never practice bow horse riding and archery. Now she is studying with royal princesses and princesses in the palace.Hearing Yao Ruyi's words, Wei Tiantian shook his head lightly, and said, "I only have three days off, and my son has to go to the palace. I can't go to Jiangnan."

"Oh, I forgot about it." Yao Ruyi smiled, and went to discuss whether the other sisters would go to Jiangnan. She was very curious about the remarriage and wanted to know what the scene was like.

At the main table, after drinking a few glasses of wine, the old lady suddenly had more troubles in her heart, and she sighed lowly while holding Feng Ge's hand: "You are leaving again! I think our family was in Jiangning back then, and we lived alone. You married and came to Kyoto alone. Now our whole family is here, but you have to go back after birth. Can't the whole family get together!"

Yao Fengge hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears while persuading her: "Today is a happy day, what's wrong with the old lady? Look at so many children and grandchildren surrounded in front of you, why are you still saying such things?"

"Among you brothers and sisters, you are the one I love the most, and you are the one I worry about the most..." The old lady bowed her head and wept again.

This sentence is naturally true. Among the four siblings of the Yao family, Yao Yanen, Yao Yanyi and Yao Yanyu are all doing well, their husbands and wives live in harmony and their official careers are going well, and each of them is a group of children.Only Feng Ge has been widowed for many years, and has only one biological daughter under her knees, but because she was brought up by her aunt, she is not very close to her.

Yao Fengge felt sad for a moment, wiped away his tears secretly and forced a smile, and continued to persuade his mother: "I know what the old lady is worried about, but please don't worry, now I have someone who knows the cold and the hot to accompany me." I'm by my side. So even if I'm far away in the south of the Yangtze River, everything must go well."

"What are you talking about! Who the hell is that? I've never seen it!" Speaking of this matter, the old lady's face was displeased.

Yao Fengge hurriedly promised: "There will be another chance in the future. Let him come to pay you a visit when he comes to Beijing in a few days."

"What you said is perfunctory to me." The old lady was still dissatisfied.

"Then what do you want?" Yao Fengge asked helplessly.

The old lady said very willfully: "I want to go to Jiangnan with you, and I want to meet that person. Can he take care of the rest of your life? I have to see it with my own eyes before I can rest assured."

"This..." Yao Fengge looked at Yan Yu in embarrassment, and wanted to ask his sister for help.

Yao Yanyu smiled and said, "I think it's okay. Anyway, the boat is big enough, so it's not a problem for the old lady to go with her."

"Yan Yu!" Yao Fengge smiled helplessly, "How old is the old lady? Can she still endure the long journey?"

Mrs. Ning hurriedly echoed: "Yes, although the boat has all the necessary equipment, it still takes more than ten days by water. After getting off the boat, I have to take a car. The old lady can't bear such a tiredness."

"Why are you running around with the children when you're too old? Aren't you adding to the trouble?" Mrs. Yao added with a smile.

"I just want to go back and have a look. I have been in the capital for so many years and I haven't been back!" The old lady's temper came up, and it was useless to persuade her.

Yao Yanyu drank the wine in the glass, and said confidently: "With me here, what are you afraid of? It just so happens that Lord Hou also has military affairs to go to Fujian, and we happened to go together all the way. So you are all at ease?"

Yao Fengge looked at Yao Yanyi and Mrs. Ning, and all three looked at Mrs. Yao.

The old man frowned and said, "Then I want to go too."

"Ah?" Yao Yanyi suddenly felt that one head and two big.It's all right for the old lady to go back to the south of the Yangtze River, but it's just for the wives and wives of various prefectures to ask and explain.But if the old man goes back to Jiangnan, half of the people in the court will feel uneasy.

Mr. Yao saw that everyone at the table was staring at him, then suddenly raised his hand to pat the table, and sighed, "Okay, okay! I won't return, I won't return! Why are you all looking at me like this? I."

"It's good not to reply, it's good not to reply. You haven't prepared at all, it's too hasty to suddenly say you want to go back." Yao Yanyi nodded quickly, got up again and took the jug to pour wine for the old man.

■

The old lady said that she would go back to Jiangnan with her, and the number of people accompanying her suddenly doubled.Not only did the attendants go, but even a few granddaughters also followed to join in the fun.Yao Yanyu asked people to prepare a big boat full of people.Ninghou Weizhang and his subordinates had to take another medium-sized passenger ship to follow.

Feng Ge knew that the old lady liked to be lively, so she took Wei Yiyi, Yao Ruyi and others to play cards, drink, and tell jokes with her every day.Yao Yanyu didn't like these things, so she went to Wei Zhang's boat to read books when she was free.

The official ship went south along the waterway, and when it arrived at Taohuaba five days later, it docked to buy fresh vegetables and fruits.Wei Yiyi found the mother and daughter who sang the song from the pier and boarded the boat to entertain the old lady.

The old lady was very happy and asked the leading woman: "Where are you from? What song can you sing?"

The woman was busy and blessed, and replied: "I used to be in the big theater troupe in the capital, but now that I am old and my voice is not good, I took my two daughters back to my hometown. The old lady must have gotten tired of listening to the tunes sung in those theater troupes, not to mention that the three of us don’t have the ostentation of those big plays, so let’s sing a local slang tune for the old lady to relieve her boredom. "

The old lady smiled and said: "It's so good, you can sing."

The woman took the pipa and sat on the stool to play it, while a girl next to her began to sing along with the tune.

It really is a country slang song, the tune is bright and simple, and the libretto is also easy to understand.The old lady squinted her eyes and leaned on the pillow to listen carefully, but within a quarter of an hour her expression changed.

Before the old lady could do anything, Yao Fengge, who was sitting next to her, got angry first, raised her hand and patted the table, and shouted: "Okay! Stop singing!"
