Chapter 28: The Old Lady's Birthday Banquet
A few days later, the old lady's birthday banquet in Wuyang Hou Mansion was held as scheduled.
When the evening was approaching, Hua Cheng packed up his things and left the village.
Last night, he was thinking about how to deal with Song Yuanhong's situation today. After thinking about it all night, he fell asleep in a daze at dawn, so he was not in a good mood. If it wasn't for the new clothes, he would have hung his head down , with his back arched and his hands drooping, he entered the house.
After leaving the villa, Xu Ming was already waiting here. He glanced at Hua Cheng's decent attire, and nodded: "The master asked me to take you to the Duanyang County Lord's birthday banquet today, although you once served Wuyanghou , but remember your current status. There are many guests coming and going at the birthday banquet, so you should pay attention to your words and deeds, so as not to lose the face of your master."
Duanyang County Lord is the title of the old lady. It was the first time Hua Cheng heard it, and it took him a long time to realize it.
"It's easy to save." Hua Cheng bowed in response.
Waiting for Xu Ming to get into the carriage, Hua Cheng jumped in front of the carriage, and drove to Wuyang Marquis Mansion with the coachman.
Helping Xu Ming out of the carriage, Hua Cheng quickly took out Song Yuanhong's token, and quietly handed it to the steward guarding the door: "Our master came here uninvited, please give me your convenience."
The steward thought they were who they were, glanced sideways at the token, opened his eyes wide immediately, and said with a smile: "Your honored guest, honored guest! Hurry up, please come in!" After Yuluo, he gave a call to the servant beside him. With a wink, he bent down and invited them in.
Returning to Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion again, Hua Cheng's heart was full of complexities. Before he walked this way, people disliked his dirty feet and asked him to take the path, but now he enters through the main entrance openly and walks on the right path , came to the compound where the birthday banquet was held.This kind of tandem treatment is really different.
After entering the compound, I saw the old lady and Jiang Jiande waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Today, the old lady is wearing a tinsel gown, with seven tins on her head, double peepers and a small ribbon on her waist, and shoes with cloud patterns on her feet to show her respect for her birthday. She was respected by the banquet, the red color made her look a few years younger, and made her smile much rosier.As for what Jiang Jiande was wearing, Hua Cheng didn't care to appreciate it.
"A certain generation of princes is here, wishing the old lady a long life and good health." Xu Mingchao cupped his hands to the old lady, signaling Hua Cheng to present the birthday present.Xu Ming used the word "Prince", which shows that he does not intend to conceal his identity today.
The old lady never expected that her birthday banquet would attract King Zhaoyuan. He was both happy and in awe. He couldn't even sit on the bench when he heard the news, so he rushed to the gate of the compound to greet her.She took a look at the birthday gift and smiled even more from ear to ear.King Zhaoyuan was generous, and what he gave was her favorite brocade. The brocade was intricately embroidered and exquisitely handcrafted, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance.
The old lady hurriedly invited Xu Ming to the head, and seeing that he was seated, she returned to the original seat and sat down.
There were more and more guests coming and going, and the normally quiet Hou Mansion was filled with noisy voices, and the faces of the maids and servants who came and went were filled with joyful smiles, calling the guests to sit down.Hua Cheng didn't care about the situation of the visitor, he only cared about Jiang Hongzhi.
He didn't expect that all Jiang Jiande's family members would come to the old lady's birthday banquet today, not only Jiang Yuehe and Jiang Yun who were imprisoned, but even the Chu family could have a remote seat.
Jiang Hongzhi was serving by Chu's side at the moment, and Xu was busy taking care of Chu, so he didn't notice Hua Cheng's arrival.Chu's complexion was not very good, she was so pale that she coughed and covered her mouth from time to time, and with her gray clothes, she looked even weaker.
A few days ago when he sneaked back to the Marquis of Wuyang, Jiang Hongzhi told Hua Cheng that the old lady was very sad because he "stolen" the peony. All the belongings given by the old lady were returned, and she said that she would help Jiang Yun do chores for a month to make amends.The old lady agreed because he stole it for her own sake and also saved Wuyanghou's mansion.In fact, Jiang Yun was locked up in the firewood room at the time, and at most he was helping Jiang Yun deliver meals. There was no need to do anything, and those jobs were considered easy.It's a pity that those new clothes and furniture will be returned to their original owners within a few days.Fortunately, their mother and son are used to hard times, and they only regard those riches and honors as a dream, and forget them when they wake up.
However, as hard days came one after another, Jiang Jiande fell into trouble at this time, and recalled the doctor in the house behind the old lady's back, and refused to allow him to see a doctor for their mother and child. He could only take the inferior medicinal materials that Jiang Hongzhi secretly ran out of the house to buy, and his condition worsened.
Compared with the Chu family, the Chen family's two children are not much better.Jiang Yuehe was tortured until she was out of shape, her expression was muddled, her eyes were dull, even with a few layers of cheek powder, she couldn't hide her pale complexion, her eyes were sunken, her cheekbones were deeply sunken, she walked out like a living skeleton They are all scary.On the other hand, Jiang Yun's face was haggard, and his already bad body was tossed by the dry air in the firewood room, as if it had been drained of water, he was listless and lifeless, with his head hanging down and lifeless.
The birthday banquet began after the last batch of guests arrived.
The old lady stood up formally, said a round of words to welcome everyone to the scene, and pointed out the identities of the people present. After receiving everyone's congratulations cheerfully, she sat down with the support of Ms. Xu.
Mother Xu immediately brought a congratulatory gift, and the old lady took it and opened it to see a string of fragrant beads.
The eldest lady stood up with Jiang Shu: "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that you have devoted yourself to worshiping the Buddha these years, so I am used to getting prayer beads. My daughter-in-law heard that you have trouble sleeping at night, so she went to Anxiang Temple with Shu'er to buy this string for you. Buddha beads, I also invited the master to consecrate the light. This string of Buddhist incense looks ordinary, but its fragrance has the effect of rejuvenating the mind, smelling it can help you sleep. I hope this little gift can enter your eyes, and I wish you good health Healthy, happy and healthy life."
Seeing that the Buddha beads were plump and almost the same size, the old lady thought it was carefully selected, and the Buddha incense smelled really refreshing, she nodded happily and praised: "The eldest daughter-in-law and Zhu'er have a heart. Zhu'er, Grandma is getting old, in the future, you should learn more from your mother."
Jiang Shuyang smiled and said, "Yes, my grandson would like to listen to my grandmother's teachings. If the fragrance of these Buddhist beads dissipates, my grandson will ask for more strings for my grandmother."
"You child, who told you to learn this?" The old lady happily raised her finger and nodded at him, her brows filled with kindness, "If you have the heart, you should be more filial and filial to your parents, and share more things for your parents Son."
Jiang Shu nodded in response: "Grandson obeys orders." After speaking, he flattered a few more times before sitting down with the eldest lady.
The eldest lady and the son-in-law fulfilled their filial piety, and it was the turn of Chen's sons and daughters.Among the children of Marquis Wuyang, Jiang Yun is the oldest and should be the first to fulfill his filial piety. However, he is a concubine and can only follow behind his concubine, while the eldest girl who was younger than him died at a young age, so the second girl Jiang Yue He became the second only to him in age.
Mrs. Chen winked at her two sons and daughters, and they stood up together, and Jiang Yun presented a brocade box about the size of a palm to the old lady.
"Grandmother, this is a congratulatory gift from my grandson and my sister. Although the gift is small, it is very durable. My grandson thinks that you will like it." After finishing speaking, Jiang Yun opened the brocade box and took out a piece of embroidery craft from it. Nice handkerchiefs.
"This is..." The old lady was amazed by this handkerchief. The perfect embroidery work did not pick out any extra threads at all, and each thread was drawn in an orderly manner. The pattern is vivid, full of auspiciousness and lightness of clouds.Just looking at the embroidery work is already worth a lot, not to mention the price of the pattern, if you don't spend a lot of money, can you buy it?The two brothers and sisters Jiang Yun can be said to have spent a lot of money.
With a proud look on Jiang Yun's face, he exchanged a look with Jiang Yuehe and explained, "Grandmother, this handkerchief was specially woven by our grandson and sister at Zhiyunfang. The handcraft and pattern are all according to your preferences. Here, the grandson and sister let someone smoke the scent of green tea on the handkerchief. You can smell your favorite tea scent and appreciate the beautiful pattern when you wear it on your handkerchief. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. A small gift is not enough Respect, I hope grandma likes it."
"Okay, okay!" The old lady held the handkerchief, smiling so much that her brows and eyes turned into crescent moons. Although the lady's prayer beads are good, after all, she worships Buddha day and night, and she is tired of looking at the beads, and it doesn't feel fresh even if she wears them. Handkerchiefs are different. Handkerchiefs are a daily necessity. Whenever you need to use them, you can see your favorite embroiderers and smell your favorite scent. This is a pleasure.
"Second child, second young lady, you have a heart. I like it very much." The old lady held the handkerchief fondly, and proudly raised the handkerchief for the guests to admire. They whispered to each other and guessed how much the handkerchief cost.
Jiang Yun's face was raised up triumphantly, and even Mrs. Chen gave the eldest lady a provocative look with a long face, which made the eldest lady tightly clenched the handkerchief, and her face darkened a bit.
What Chen's children want is such a shocking effect. The gifts given by others are either expensive but not good, or good but not expensive, and their gifts not only attract people's attention, but also win the old lady's favor.The best and most expensive gift tonight is none other than theirs!
The atmosphere on the field was aroused by this valuable handkerchief. The old lady rubbed the handkerchief repeatedly, but she was still reluctant to put it in her bosom, and carefully asked Mother Xu to put it back into the brocade box first, and take care of it after the banquet. Scrutinize.
However, before the handkerchief was put back into the brocade box, a voice suddenly sounded on the field: "Grandma, this handkerchief cannot be taken away!"
When the evening was approaching, Hua Cheng packed up his things and left the village.
Last night, he was thinking about how to deal with Song Yuanhong's situation today. After thinking about it all night, he fell asleep in a daze at dawn, so he was not in a good mood.
