February is the time when everything wakes up. The trees in the yard have already sprouted, and the soil under the trees is green.
Yuxi went to think of the Wuqinxi opera that had been playing for more than a quarter of an hour. For the first few days, I felt pain all over my body. I walked unsteadily and had to be supported. For ordinary people have long given up, but Yuxi insisted, insisted for half a month. By now, it's much better.
After breakfast, mother Qu came and said“ Madam, tea, cake and fruit are ready. " Today Yuxi's banquet is the wife of Yunqing's confidants.
Yuxi said, "in half an hour, they should be here." It's time for her to put on her make-up. Although she didn't have to dress up to attend, she didn't look good and needed makeup.
This banquet, on the one hand, is to tell people that she is all right, so that people outside can always guess how long she can live; Second, I'd like to communicate with you ladies to enhance our feelings.
As soon as Yuxi put on her make-up, she heard the maid say that Granny Zhao had come. Before she changed her clothes, it was hard for her to see anyone, so she was green. Granny Zhao was waiting in the living room.
The second grandmother of Zhao knew that Yuxi was very particular about her, and she was not dissatisfied. When Yu Xi came out, he said with a smile, "your skirt is so beautiful. I'm afraid you can't find another one in Yucheng."
Yuxi was wearing a 12 piece Yuehua skirt with many folds, which was very elegant. The skirt was made in the capital that day, but it's not worn all the time.
Yuxi said with a smile: "Yucheng doesn't mean hocheng doesn't have it. At that time, you can do as many as you want. " Ho City is more prosperous than here.
Zhao er's grandmother, with a stagnant heart, said with a smile, "forget it, I'm so old. I don't care about these. I'll make more body for ziyao at that time." This dress is not cheap at first sight, so she'd better not waste the money herself.
Yuxi didn't agree with Zhao's view and said, "what is such a big age? You're only twenty-five this year! "
Zhao Er granny said with a smile, "I'm old. I can't compare with you. It looks like I'm only sixteen or seventeen years old!"
Without waiting for Yuxi to speak, he heard licorice say: "madam, madam Feng is here."
The second grandmother of Zhao said in surprise, "how did Chang come here today?" Feng Dajun's wife's surname is Chang.
Chang's great grandfather was sent to Yucheng by the imperial court, and later settled in Yucheng. Chang's appearance is average. She will marry Feng Dajun because her father saved Feng Dajun's life. However, because of his birth, Chang seldom appeared at the banquet.
Yuxi personally went to the courtyard to welcome chang into the house. If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, you can see that Feng Dajun is Yunqing's right arm. She also wants to treat Chang well.
Chang did not want to come. She was not used to such occasions and always felt out of place. But in the end, I was persuaded by the woman around me. If you don't come, you won't give Mrs. Yun face.
Grandma Zhao looked at Chang and frowned. Chang can't dress up. She was dressed in crimson, with a bun and a gold hairpin. I didn't know that she thought she was the mother in the mansion!
Yuxi is smiling to let people will tea fruit snacks up. This time, yuxilang made many kinds of cakes, including Furong cake, osmanthus cake, hongdoumi jujube cake, crystal Longfeng cake, Zilong cake, peach cake and biscuits of various shapes.
Looking at the biscuit, Chang felt very strange and took a piece to eat. After eating it, he couldn't help exclaiming, "it's delicious. I don't know how to make it?"
Yuxi said with a smile: "it's fine flour, and then mixed with milk. If madam is interested, she will take the prescription and go back to try it on her own." It's the first time biscuits have been made. Yuxi didn't like this, so the mansion didn't appear.
Chang did not yield, directly said: "thank you, madam." I'm sure my daughter likes it. Chang gave birth to a son and a daughter. Her daughter is very picky and doesn't eat a lot of food. This makes her very worried, which will make her think that her daughter should like this kind of nice and delicious snacks.
Zhao Er granny deliberately pretended to be very sour and said, "Yuxi, you are too uninteresting. This prescription is only for Mrs. Feng, and I don't have my share."
Chang is a little restrained and feels that he has caused trouble for Yuxi.
But Yuxi said with a smile, "she's joking! Don't worry about Mrs. Feng. She has all these prescriptions for Amethyst cake. " It's true that grandma Zhao has a recipe, but this cake is not as good as Bai's mother's. This makes Mrs. Zhao particularly depressed.
Other people at the banquet also came one after another. But when the last one, Xiang Wei's wife, Yan, came in, the room was quiet.
The Yan wore a red dress and a peony bun. On the left side of the dress was a jade decorated hairpin. On the right side of the dress was a golden silk inlaid with ruby. On the back of the dress was a big ruby flower. On the ear was a red jade drop earring. On the neck was a gold necklace inlaid with beads. On the fingers were two gem rings, There is also a red gold glue silk bracelet on the wrist of the right hand.
Looking at Yan's clothes, Yu Xi frowned. What's the matter with Xiang Wei? Early remind him to let Yan don't too publicity, feelings she said is all nonsense.
With a smile, Granny Zhao said, "Madam Xiang, these jewels are enough to buy a five entrance house in the best part of xinpingcheng“ Where is this for the banquet? This is obviously for the exhibition of jewelry. Anyway, all she saw were the jewels, no one.
Yan is very beautiful. Besides Yuxi, her appearance is the most outstanding. Hearing this, Yan picked his eyebrows and said with pride, "we have bought a house with five entrances in Xinping city."
Zhao Er granny deliberately pretended to be envious and said, "Xiang general is really capable. Sister Yan is blessed." Other people present may not have got as much gold and silver as Wei. But other people, even if they wear them, usually only wear one or two. They don't want to wear all the jewelry like Yan.
Yan liked the compliment very much and said, "that's right. At that time, my father only married me to her because he valued her husband's outstanding ability. "
Yuxi thinks that Yan's brain is full of bean curd dregs, otherwise she would not have been able to hear Zhao's sarcasm. Yuxi said with a smile: "to Madam, please sit down!" Yan also came to the previous banquets. However, at that time, although Yan was also very proud, he did not make as much publicity as he is now.
Yuxi knew all about Yan's family. Yan is a native of Xinping city. His father is a peddler. Because of his outstanding appearance, he was taken to the state of Wei.
He sent someone to Wei to propose marriage. At that time, the lion of Yan family asked for a betrothal gift of 5000 Liang silver. Xiang Weiguo really likes Yan, but he doesn't save so much money. In the end, he asked Yun Qing to collect the betrothal gifts.
As a child, Yan's family was like a baby because of her outstanding appearance. After she got married, she sometimes had a small temper, but she preferred to eat this set of food to Wei Guo. They are so good that even if Yan hasn't produced it yet, Xiang Weiguo doesn't care.
Yan's looks very obvious is a have no what brain, to Wei country unexpectedly still by her, this let jade Xi some worry. It's the Quartermaster who is in charge of Wei state. Once he has a bad idea, he will come to a big problem.
Looking at the empty chair at the bottom, Yan looked dissatisfied. But she had no brain, and knew that she could not be wild on this occasion.
Yuxi who, looking at her face, know not satisfied with such an arrangement. But all the guests at this banquet were Yunqing's confidants, and their age and official rank were not too different, so Yuxi didn't divide the primary and secondary, they all came first. Yan was the last one to arrive, so he naturally sat in the last position.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Du Zheng's wife, Bao Shi, said, "madam, why didn't you see the big girl? I've heard from my master that the big girl is very strong. " People in the northwest and Beijing have different views. They want their children to be strong. This shows that children are easy to support and will not die young.
Yuxi also don't wriggle, ordered the licorice nearby to say: "go to let them will big girl and two girls all embrace out."
Everyone present had seen jujube, but it was the first time for Liu er. As soon as jujube saw Yuxi, it cheerfully called: "Niang."
Yuxi hugged her and patted her on the back. This little guy can eat four meals a day, not including fruit snacks. Yuxi is also well controlled, plus jujube active, otherwise it will definitely grow into a little fat girl.
Mrs. Feng looked at liu'er. Although the child was a little weak, his facial features and skin were really long. Mrs. Feng is not a flatterer, but looking at liu'er, she can't help saying, "this child is very good-looking. Madam, the people who propose marriage will definitely break the threshold of your house."
There are hundreds of women in one family, which is the greatest pride of being a parent. Yuxi smile, said: "you flatter." Praising a child is more enjoyable than praising her as a mother.
When Bao Shi saw Liu Er, he said with a smile, "two girls are so lovely. I want to take them home." Jujube is strong and strong, but it's too like a boy. It's not as pleasant as Liu er.
Yan glanced and said with a smile: "I remember your two boys are only three years old. If you really like it, you can order a baby kiss! "
As soon as Yan's words fell, the original bustling scene suddenly calmed down.
Grandma Zhao opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word at last. She didn't know what Yuxi meant, but she didn't cut in.
Feng Dajun's wife Chang usually doesn't open her mouth on such occasions, but for the first time, the meeting says, "a baby kiss is the worst. When you grow up, if you don't have a good disposition, and if you have a noisy couple, it's not beautiful." Chang's words came from the heart.
Bao's some depressed, do not know that she really want to marry with the cloud family! Just praise the child two good, how to lead to this!
Yuxi said with a smile“ Listen to Mrs. Feng's tone, should be heard or seen similar things? If it's convenient, tell us about it. "
As soon as Chang finished his words, he regretted. Seeing that Yuxi was not angry, he felt a little relaxed: "my aunt's niece of her husband's and sister-in-law's is a baby kiss. As a result, the two children are both quick tempered and restless It's a long way to go.
Yuxi nodded: "yes! Still need temperament congenial, ability and beautiful This sentence, just a matter lightly exposed.
