Chapter 20 Birthday
It was October soon, and the lights inside and outside the Nuoda Mansion were decorated with colorful colors, as lively as the New Year. The maid walked back and forth, and a large round table was set up in the main hall, and the kitchen paper was filled with mist. A hundred kinds of delicacies from all over the Song Dynasty had been prepared for several days, and tables and chairs were placed in the garden of the corridor.
It was said to be Han'er's birthday, but today is more like a special family dinner. Han'er is the protagonist, while others find a suitable reason to gather together after the wedding.
It was just that my family had half a birthday party and did not invite guests, but there were not many people coming.
At the gate of the mansion, Jing Feng was wearing a man's outerwear, with a strong figure and a straightforward personality. It was a bit inappropriate to make such a dress. He originally intended to come over like his brothers in the black feather guard's regular clothes, but Miss Li was not happy and said that he was already the prince's brother-in-law and was different from the rough men of the Black Feather Guard. He had to be stylish. What could Jing Feng say, but he couldn't beat Miss Li's, so he said nothing.
After Jing Feng joined the Black Feather Guard, his position as "Shame of Yuhou" has basically not changed. He is mainly because of his average skill and honest and upright personality. Cao Hua trusts him, but his nepotism cannot be too obvious, so he has no work to do for him.
Although Jing Feng was frustrated in the officialdom, he was still quite proud of his love life. He had already been engaged to Miss Li and got married after the end of the year. Jing Xue and Miss Li had a quarrel and would quarrel when they met. He was not satisfied with this marriage, but for the sake of his own brother's lifelong happiness, he could only honestly help him handle it.
As the father-in-law, Li Bairen is now proud. Although he failed to stuff his daughter to the governor's back house, it was almost the same to send it to the governor's brother-in-law. Anyway, he would be a generation older than the governor in the future. Now he is very conscious of his brother-in-law who greeted him with Cao Hua and Han'er's elders and the boat girl.
After leaving Liushan Town in the Year of the Boat, Li Bairen had already let go of the past. He was devoted to raising his youngest son and also got pregnant with the old Li family. Li Bairen was in the world and had a military life. The most regrettable thing is that he had no son, but now he treats the boat girl as his ancestor.
Cao Hua's original team, Liu Laosi, Song Zhanggui, and Huang Hai, are now considered to be a success. Although he has not been able to "break the ground and bound the border" as Liu Laosi talked about when he first paid his salary, the rich side will definitely not be able to escape. Cao Hua's development of various industries and trusts is the old team, so he naturally won't treat them unfairly.
As for the original Yuhou, Huang Tiechong, Xu Ning and others of the Black Feather Guard, they all went to the border army and led their troops across the battlefield. Now they have arrived at the border. With the assistance of artillery, news of defeating the Jin soldiers will probably be heard soon.
As for the old man Lu Chen, who is a friend of life and death with Xue Jiuquan, he is old this year and has no wife or children alone. He has no worries except for the Diankuisi who has been running for the rest of his life. He has always been outside the Diankuisi Yamen to pretend to be a doorman. There is a reason why the elders come to the door when they celebrate their birthdays, but they didn't come today.
As the birthday girl Han'er, she is not very happy today.
On the side of the main courtyard, in the room filled with bookshelf, Han'er sat in front of the dressing table in a depressed manner, listening to the noisy sounds outside, and said coldly:
"I said not to be so big. I am not my 60th birthday. There are so many people here. Those who don't know would think I'm happy..."
Han'er married Cao Hua, and her personality was a little bit smaller, but her things did not change much from before. She still took charge of the Dian Kuisi and helped Cao Hua handle matters of all kinds. She liked to hide behind the scenes, and was suddenly surrounded by stars. So many people came to celebrate her birthday, which was obviously not very used to.
Luzhu stood behind her back, combed Han'er's hair seriously, and said softly with a smile:
"After the young master's wedding, he hadn't had a good time, so he took advantage of Sister Han'er's birthday to get together."
Han'er pursed her lips: "Everyone lives in the back house, what's the best thing to get together... I'm annoyed when I see Chen Xiaobian, and there are also those with the surname Zhu..."
Yu Tang smirked and lay on the small table next to him: "The main reason is that Princess Luo'er said that she would hold a birthday party for the young master every year in the future, so she would try it with Sister Han'er first."
Han'er's face turned cold: "Shut up, the most disobedient person in the family is you. You can't do anything, you will be the first to cause trouble."
Yutang didn't think he was ashamed but proud, blinked: "If the young master doesn't say anything about me, then I'm right. Yes, I've prepared a gift for Sister Han'er. I originally wanted to give Sister Han'er the fox tail..."
Han'er frowned gently: "What fox's tail?"
Yutang was intrigued again and was about to fool Han'er to ask for the fox's tail. At this time, Hu Sanniang came in with a tray, with all kinds of jewelry inside.
Hu Sanniang is Cao Hua's only maid now. She has to do it alone when she serves tea, water, washes and folds quilts. She knows the decorations in Cao Hua's room best.
Yu Tang sat upright and smiled and said, "Sanniang, do you know where the young master put the very beautiful fox tail? Tell me, I'll take one out and give it to Sister Han'er."
Hu Sanniang's expression froze, and she naturally knew what the fox's tail was. If she hadn't compromised, she would have to carry her walking. At this time, her eyes were a little embarrassed and she said angrily:
"Don't ask nonsense, you've read it wrong without a fox tail."
Yu Tang grabbed it with his own hands, so he naturally didn't believe it. She looked up and down a few times, and suddenly said strangely: "Sanniang, you are so weird these days, and you're just here to play with me. You're hiding in the house every day. Are you sick?"
Luzhu cared about Sanniang the most. After thinking about it, she sighed softly: "Sanniang and the young master went out together a few days ago. It seemed that she was bullied by the young master and was beaten by the young master."
Yutang was full of concern and raised his hand to touch Hu Sanniang's buttocks: "Does it hurt?"
Hu Sanniang's face turned red. She dared to say that Cao Hua was like that, so she could only mutter in a low voice: "It doesn't hurt."
Han'er was dressed up seriously and was a little curious when he heard this: "Sanniang, you are so obedient, why did the young master beat you? Did you make a mistake?"
Hu Sanniang turned around and glanced at him. Seeing that Cao Hua was not nearby, she snorted faintly: "Young master wants to hit someone, what can I do..."
Han'er nodded: "That's right."
Yu Tang looked at Hu Sanniang, who was very tall, and chuckled, "Sanniang, the young master obviously likes you. When he went out that day, he was in the wilderness and there was no one else, so he just beat you. What did he do to you?"
Hu Sanniang raised her hand and bounced on Yutang's forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a little maid, what can the young master do to me..."
"Did you beat me in clothes or take off your clothes?"
"Yutang, are you asking for a fight?"
......
While chattering and laughing and playing, Han'er dressed in gracefulness and magnificently. In the afternoon, when the lights on the mansion were on, Yingying and Yanyan walked out of their rooms and headed towards the mansion's main courtyard.
