"Ma'am, you're right to think so. Anyway, the second young master has been separated, and we may not see each other once a year. Don't worry."

"Mrs. Lin, Xuan Sheng has been sick three times in the last two months. I think the boss is in good health this time. Do you think he stole his brother's luck?" Thinking of this, everyone Madam was upset again, wishing Ji Xuanhe would never appear in front of her.

"Ma'am, this old servant dare not jump to conclusions, why don't you ask Mrs. Jingxin to pray for the Fourth Young Master someday?"

"Well, this is feasible. After the old lady's birthday banquet, I will go to Ningyun Nunnery. You can prepare in your free time."

"Yes, ma'am."

Before Nanny Lin stepped out of the inner room, Yao Huang came in to report on her back foot.

"Ma'am, the old man gave the second young master and his wife a pair of quaint boxes, and what's inside can't be found out."

"Could this be the reason why the old man called them here? Probably because the old man can't see his own grandchildren suffering outside, so he can give them some things to subsidize them. If you can find out, just ask, if you can't find out, don't bother." Ji After all, Xuanhe had already separated, and the eldest lady didn't think that the old man would subsidize much, so she didn't take this matter to heart.

The news that Ji Xuan and his husband received the gift from the old master spread throughout the entire Ji mansion in an instant, as if they had wings.It's not that the waiters in the old man's yard were bought by other masters, but that neither the old man nor Ji Xuan and his husband had covered it up.

Shuangyue Pei is said to be the family heirloom of the Ji family, but in fact, apart from its high quality, it has no other advantages, and its color is dim, even if it is pawnshop, it can't be pawned.Even if it is known by others, it will not bring much trouble to Ji Xuan and the two, at most they will be insulted a few times.Most people are like this, no matter how bad things are, if they are given to others but not given to themselves, it is a mistake.

The living room of Qingyuan, the second bedroom.

The second lady: "What did the old man think? He actually gave them something, why didn't he give Xuan Hui more? Mother Qin, you also know that the second master is not a promising person. He spends a lot of money drinking and writing all day long. If I don’t add some income to the family, I will sell my dowry idea.”

"Ma'am, you can be content with it. Just think of it as a peace of mind for the second master. It's better to be a prodigal than to get into a pile of makeup. You don't want the second master to keep adding people to the room like other men, do you? "Mother Qin dared to say such a thing, and others would never dare to persuade her like this.

"Mother Qin, I really don't know what to say about the master. It's okay if he is not good at civil and military affairs, but he doesn't even want to manage a shop. He either attends this literary club or that poetry club all day long, and I don't see how much he is intellectually talented. Progressive. Knowing that he is like this, how can my parents let me marry him?" The second wife was very frustrated, "With such a husband, when the time comes to separate the family, life may not be as good as the second nephew."

"Madam, how can you think so? You still have the young master, and it's too early to separate the family. By then, the young master will be able to support the family. Your good days are coming. Besides, you look at the third house, the third wife is now I don't have a son yet, and there is a concubine's eldest son here, don't look at the future of the third master, the life of the third wife is not as good as yours." Mother Qin persuaded earnestly.

"That's right, I'm better than the third sibling. I just can't figure it out. What kind of rules does the sister-in-law have? You see, the third sibling wants a son but can't. She is good at pushing her eldest son out, even if her body is no longer healthy." Well, that's her son too. If I have that blessing, I would like to have another son."

Qin's mother: "Perhaps the two of them have no mother-child relationship. This is not the first time I have seen such a thing. The mother-in-law is more ruthless than the stepmother."

"Our house is full of beautiful flowers, and there are a lot of dirty things inside. I really hope that the old lady will live a long life." This is the second lady's sincere words. My father is not capable, so he has to rely on his elders to live?

All the houses are discussing about Ji Xuan and his husband's belongings, but the Heyuan side is calm.Except for the people brought by Ji Xuanhe, the maids and mothers temporarily equipped by Ji's mansion were all assigned errands, and they couldn't even enter the main room.

The next day is Mrs. Ji's fiftieth birthday, the house is very busy, the old lady excused the younger generation's greetings, Ji Xuanhe got a good night's sleep.After riding in the carriage for two days, his body was still not fully recovered, and he was a little overwhelmed. He slept for a full six hours before he regained his strength.

The banquet began at noon, mainly to entertain the clansmen.Guests began to come to the door one after another in the afternoon, and most of them came from Yunzhou Prefecture.At this time, the main gate of the Ji Mansion was wide open, carriages and sedan chairs were led into the guest courtyard by the servants of the Ji Mansion, it was very lively.

Shen Qing Qishan had been taught the rules by Qiu Boduan's mother long before he came to Ji's mansion, and now he is doing things decently, and Ji Xuanhe can complete the things that they are asked to do very well.In the afternoon, people were coming and going, Ji Xuanhe was afraid that they would run amok and bump into the guests, so he simply asked everyone to stay in the Heyuan and not go anywhere.

Before the meeting, Ji Xuan and the two rearranged their attire.Ji Xuan's reconciliation was very simple, and Duan's mother got it done in a few clicks.Afterwards, he sat aside to see what tricks Jimo could do for Shao Yunchen.Looking at it, he discovered the problem. Shao Yunchen's attire is very complicated this time, not only the dress, but even the hair bun headdress seems to be very particular.

Mother Duan received Ji Xuanhe's gaze, and she understood after a little thought: "Master, you should have met on the day you got married, maybe you didn't remember when you were young. After a man gets married, he has to attend banquets and so on according to Dress up according to the rules. You need to insert two hairpins into the young master's bun, one is ordinary and can be used by ordinary men, and the other can only be used by married men. Look, are the two hairpins different?"

Ji Xuanhe took it and compared it in his hands. It is indeed different. Ordinary men's hairpins do not have tassel pendants. They are just a simple hairpin. At most, they are inlaid with gemstones and carved with some patterns, while those used by married men are more fancy. The biggest difference The reason is that there are a few gold threads hanging from the top of the hairpin, which are very short, at least much shorter than the tassels.

Duan's mother added: "There are many things that can be dropped on the top of the hairpin. The gold thread is just one of them. The only requirement is that it be short or small, which is also convenient to distinguish it from women's hairpins."

Shao Yunchen usually dresses up as a man, and this is the first time Ji Xuanhe has seen her like this.After Shao Yunchen finished dressing, Ji Xuanhe looked him up and down. The dress and bun were complicated, but they were quite beautiful. In addition, Shao Yunchen had a majestic prototype at a young age, which made him even more seductive by this attire.

"Let's go, we have to be there early, don't forget to take the birthday gift." Ji Xuanhe walked towards Yiyuan as soon as he finished speaking.

Before the birthday banquet started, a present for the descendants had to be made at the old lady's side first, and then the old lady would return to the front yard to entertain guests after it was over.

When Ji Xuan and the others arrived, the hall of Yiyuan was already full of Yingying and Yanyan, and the smell of makeup and powder was overwhelming.Ji Xuanhe endured it so that the indecent thing of sneezing on the spot did not happen.

After the notification, everyone took a look at them, and then returned to the original lively scene.Mrs. Ji had already taken her seat, and was waiting for the auspicious time to present the gift.

Those who can sit here are all close to Ji's family, and there is no need to hide the birthday gift, in fact, presenting the gift on the spot has already shown their attitude.

As soon as Si Li shouted "The auspicious time has come", Mrs. Ji's descendants began to present birthday gifts one by one.First is the son and daughter-in-law, then the grandson, and finally the granddaughter, from oldest to youngest, it took a lot of work.

Except for the birthday gifts given by the fifth master, Ji Zhengkang, who was not yet married, which was a little thin, the other four masters and wives gave them either gold, stone and jade, or antique calligraphy and paintings, all of which were of great value.

The grandchildren will save a lot of trouble, because the eldest granddaughter is only ten years old this year, so the birthday gifts are not very expensive.Most of the grandsons use their own calligraphy and paintings as gifts, while the granddaughters mostly use simple embroidery.The gifts from Ji Xuanhe and his husband were mixed in the middle, they were not outstanding, nor were they low in the dust, neither high nor low, which was in line with Ji Xuanhe's ideal ranking.

Among the grandchildren, Ji Xuanhe's eldest sister, Ji Jinxian, was the most outstanding. She presented a frame screen, and she personally embroidered a picture of the old pine, and embroidered a birthday poem next to it, which was very suitable for the occasion.Although her embroidery skills are still immature, she can be considered excellent at her age.

Seeing that her eldest daughter is doing well, the eldest lady is very happy, and feels that she has more face, but she still has to accept the praise of all relatives.Ji Xuanhe couldn't help admiring after seeing it. Those who can be the masters of the house must have some ability.

After presenting the gifts, Old Master Ji took his sons, eldest grandson, second grandson and his wife to the front yard.With their arrival, the servants began to clear the refreshments on the table, and the feast was about to begin.

Originally, Ji Xuanhui and Ji Xuanhe were supposed to sit in the backyard, but since Ji Xuanhe was already married, Old Master Ji simply brought Ji Xuanhui to the front yard.

Old Master Ji sat at the main table, and all the guests with him were of similar status.Ji Xuan and his husband were at the same table with several uncles. Except for their three children, the others were adults at that table. After the ceremony, they stopped talking to them.Ji Xuanhui was only eight years old, so lonely by himself, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and started to talk to Ji Xuanhe when he had nothing to do.

Ji Xuan and Ji Xuanhui on the left, and Shao Yunchen on the right, he saw that Ji Xuanhui was really boring, so he responded one after another.Soon, one by one dishes were served on the dining table, and the birthday banquet was declared to begin.
