Chapter 218
Mr. Su did not come in person on Mrs. Xia’s birthday.
Su Bai brought a birthday gift and said to Zhao Changqing and Xia Wen, "My mother got a good book yesterday, and she always saw the sky was dawn, so she was a little unhealthy. I thought that Sister Qing's house was not an outsider, so I advised her to have a good life at home. It would be the same for me to come over."
Zhao Changqing kept silent and laughed, "Sir, this is the temper. He wants to finish reading in one go when he meets a good book." In fact, Mr. Su has never had the habit of reading at night. Even Zhao Changqing was influenced by her, and never read at night. Su Bai's lie was not very clever in front of Zhao Changqing, and Zhao Changqing had to make a lie for him.
Old Mrs. Xia didn't mind either. It was mainly because Su Bai decided to be a girl from the Minister's Mansion. She was born in Tanhua again, so Old Mrs. Xia has always been very polite to the Su family. Old Mrs. Xia smiled, "Mr. Su is a knowledgeable person. She likes books like this. It is strange that you can win Tanhua, and your mother teaches you well."
Su Bai smiled, "The old lady has been awarded more. I wish you a birthday celebration. May you be as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain." He bowed.
Old Mrs. Xia happily said, "Don't do this, I'll be happy when you come."
Su Bai came first, obviously because of his closeness. Old Mrs. Xia saw that he looked handsome and spoke liked by others, so she talked to him in a vague manner. Su Bai had a good temper and was patient with her.
For a moment, Xia Gongren brought his wives with his wives. Since Zhao Changqing often went to the palace to teach the fifth princess to make clay men, Xia Gongren has become particularly enthusiastic about the Xia family. He knew it was Mrs. Xia's birthday, so he brought his wives with him early.
Su Bai regarded himself as Zhao Changqing's brother, so he went to the inner house to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Xia. When he heard that the female relatives of the Xia clan had arrived, Su Bai said, "I'd better go out to avoid it, don't be abrupt."
Old Mrs. Xia is used to staying in Qingcheng County, and the folk customs in Shu are open. She doesn't understand the imperial capital very well. She laughed, "It's okay, she is not an outsider, but a niece-in-law in my clan." Xia Gongren said that his seniority was about Mrs. Xia.
As he spoke, Xia Gongren and his party had already come in, and it was too late for Su Bai to avoid it.
Xia Gongren laughed, "Auntie, I'm not too late to come."
Old Mrs. Xia laughed, "I, an old woman, celebrate her birthday. I said, "What should I celebrate if I spend one day less?" The children have to do it, and the gathering of relatives and friends has alarmed you again." I can't mention the pride inside and outside.
"I'll come even if my aunt doesn't invite me." Xia Gongren smiled, "This is filial piety to be descendants, and I should be happy."
Old Mrs. Xia smiled, "Happy, I'll be happy when you come."
Xia Gongren flattered Mrs. Xia, and her eyes fell on Su Bai, and her face changed. She stared at Su Bai, but she couldn't move her eyes away. Old Mrs. Xia smiled, "You don't recognize him. This is Su Tanhua, like Awen's wife and sister."
Xia Gongren stared at Su Bai, and the smile on his face squeezed out, "I heard that Su Tanhua is from the border town." When his son-in-law Yong'an Hou wanted to recruit Su Tanhua as his son-in-law, Xia Gongren looked at him from Zhao Changqing, and it was the first time he met Su Bai.
Su Bai naturally noticed Xia Gongren's abnormality, and his smile remained unchanged and said, "Yes."
Xia Gongren couldn't help but say, "Is my hometown in the border town?"
"Hometown is the Su family in Huizhou."
Xia Gongren said, "A branch of Su Wensu?"
Su Bai smiled, "The Su family's side branch dare not swear to Su Wensu Duke."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "Uncle and Su Wensu are familiar with each other?"
Xia Gongren laughed, "I dare not say this, but few people who have lived in the imperial capital for a long time don't know the name of Su Wensu. When I saw Su Tanhua, I was really shocked. I said that Su Tanhua used to describe him like this. You were born in the Su family in Huizhou. It's no wonder that Su Wensu was already a famous and knowledgeable scholar when he was the late emperor. At that time, Su Wensu had a son, and he was also from Tanhua. Su Tanhua's appearance seemed to be like a shadow of the big Su Tanhua. I was stunned at first sight, as if it was like the big Su Tanhua resurrected."
Su Bai smiled, "I often hear people say this in the Hanlin Academy, maybe because of the same clan."
Xia Gongren laughed, "Where is it? The Su family's scholarly family, Su Tanhua is so beautiful, it is not surprising that it is so beautiful."
Su Bai was a man after all, so when Xia Wen and Su Bai and Xia Wu went out to entertain guests. For a moment, Ling Teng, Zhu Qing, Li Guo and some friends from the Hanlin Academy all arrived, and even Yuan came to join in the fun.
Yuan and Zhao Changqing said, "The house has been picked up and I can move in before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhao Changqing hurriedly asked, "Where did my uncle buy the house?"
Yuan smiled, "It's not far from your place, it's a street, close to Liguo's house, right in the same alley, two separate houses."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's so close." He asked about the size of the house again, and Yuan smiled, "Our border town is vast and sparsely populated. We are used to living in a wide courtyard in our hometown. I discussed with your uncle and bought a four-entry one, which is spacious and spacious. In the future, your cousin will have children, and there will be some places."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "From the uncle's opinion, has the marriage of Cousin Qing finished?"
Yuan smiled, "I haven't decided yet, so I'm a little accurate. It's hard to say now. I'm going to settle down, you have to get over the engagement."
"I don't have to say that I'm going too."
As everyone talked, Grandma Fang San also arrived.
Xia Gongren smiled as soon as he saw her, "I just met yesterday, and we met again today."
Grandma Fang San smiled, "Yes." Congratulations to Mrs. Xia, "I told my husband early this morning. Unfortunately, relatives came to my house and talked for a while, but it was delayed."
Old Mrs. Xia laughed, "What's the matter? We are not outsiders, so don't want heretics." In fact, she didn't know Grandma Fang San at all.
Zhao Changqing asked Grandma Fang San to sit down and introduced the people in the house to Grandma Fang San. Fang Xing was born in Duke Jingguo Mansion. When he was young, he lived in Qingcheng for a while. He was a classmate with Xia Wen for three or two years. He had not contacted him for many years. It was still Xia Wen who came to the spring examination in the imperial capital. The three-color rose flowers that Xia Wenxun had dug back from Duke Jingguo Mansion.
Since the two families started to move around, Grandma Fang San and Zhao Changqing naturally recognized it. Not only that, a companion named Fang of the fifth princess was a girl from the Duke of Jingguo Mansion, and Grandma Fang San was Miss Fang's third aunt.
Xia Wen and Zhao Changqing are really capable, so Fang Xing brought his wife to join in the fun on the birthday of Mrs. Xia.
Grandma Fang San smiled, "I served my old lady before. My wife went to Xishan Temple to get incense. When she passed by Luomeiquan, she saw someone cooking tea on the bus. She looked like you, but I don't know if it was."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "That must be it. Now this summer is the cool mountains, and I went there early in the morning. I cooked tea by the spring, which tasted particularly good."
Grandma Fang San smiled, "I think you are no longer a problem than those literati and scholars." In Grandma Fang San's opinion, although the Xia family is mediocre, Zhao Changqing lives a life of a fairy. One is that there is no need to set rules in front of her parents-in-law; the other is that she is willing to go out and visit friends when she is willing to visit friends, such as Zhao Changqing, who has time to go to the spring to cook tea and have fun after marriage, the imperial capital is afraid that she will be the only one. How free.
Zhao Changqing laughed, "How dare you compare your desires with those of literati and scholars?"
The last one came was Song Jiarang and his wife. Qi's identity was the best among all people, so the room was naturally more lively. Xia Yu asked, "Uncle Song, did Sister Fu not come?"
Qi smiled, "Today it was Sister Fu'er's turn to go to the palace to study together. Later, she rested and said she had already said to come to find you, and you can go play together."
Xia Yu smiled, "Okay. I wrote a letter to Daniu Niu Niu, wanting to ask her if she wants to write together, and send it to Daniu Niu Niu."
It was almost noon when Qi came, and everyone talked for a while before the dinner started. Zhao Changqing's house was spacious and he invited two small plays. Everyone was chatting and drinking, and it was lively.
The wine was played until the afternoon, and the guests were left. Zhao Changqing ordered Yongfu to watch and clean up. Pingshun and Ping'an took care of the matter outside. Xia Wen was the master's house, so he naturally drank a lot of wine. Zhao Changqing drank two cups of green plum tea for him and asked him to go to bed and sober up. Hong'er brought in the prepared gift list. After reading it, Zhao Changqing said, "Classify and store these gifts, set up another account book, copy the gift list separately, and clearly mark it on the gift list. When was the gift?"
Hong'er responded "Yes" and went down to work hard.
Mrs. Xia was a little tired after being lively for most of the day and leaned on the couch to rest. After Aunt Xia came back from inquiring about the news, she said in the ear of Mrs. Xia, "In addition to the gifts from the elder brother and sister-in-law who personally delivered to her mother, the gifts from the rest of the people and the niece-in-law were asked to move to her Curry."
Old Mrs. Xia was immediately displeased and said, "What is this to say? I will celebrate my birthday and she will receive gifts."
Aunt Xia curled her lips, "Not it? This is too domineering. Is it still missing these things for everyone? Alas, so rich people like things."
Old Mrs. Xia wanted to make a good repair with Zhao Changqing. She frowned and thought for a moment. She couldn't swallow her breath and said, "Go and call your elder brother." Knowing that Zhao Changqing didn't let someone easily, Old Mrs. Xia talked to her son first.
Aunt Xia said, "Call Madam Zhang, otherwise my sister-in-law wouldn't have to think too much when she sees me, thinking that I'm talking too much with my mother."
Old Mrs. Xia glanced at her eldest daughter and told Madam Zhang to go.
Mr. Xia also drank a lot. Just now she fell asleep, Mrs. Xia asked Madam Zhang, "What the hell is going on? The master just fell asleep."
Madam Zhang laughed, "Since the master is asleep, the wife is the same in the past."
Mrs. Xia also wanted to take a break, but Old Mrs. Xia asked someone to change her clothes. Old Mrs. Xia didn't be polite to Mrs. Xia and directly told her about the birthday ceremony. Old Mrs. Xia didn't listen to her words and said, "It's not like my birthday, but like their birthday. I have seen anything before, nor are there any more people, but I just don't care about this. Do you think, right?"
Mrs. Xia said, "The wife is not such a person. I don't know who is a talkative person who came to spread rumors in front of the old lady, but she misunderstood her wife."
Aunt Xia couldn't help but say, "I saw this. Could it be that I'm going to make a rumor about my niece-in-law?"
Mrs. Xia said, "I don't really recognize the wives and grandmas who come here, most of them come to see Brother Wen'er's face. The gifts come and go. Today, the old lady celebrates her birthday and gives gifts. The old lady will celebrate her birthday tomorrow, and the old lady will pay the gifts back. Brother Wen and the others are in charge, so they can handle it. If the old lady wants it, the child is not shallow-skinned, and it is easy to send it to the old lady. In the future, the old lady will have to trouble the old lady. Look at it, why don't you ask Brother Wen's daughter-in-law to come and ask her?"
Old Mrs. Xia has come to the imperial capital, so she doesn't have to pay for other money. The capital is expensive, and even the purchase of the kitchen is a expense. Therefore, when Aunt Xia said that the birthday ceremony was received by Zhao Changqing in the warehouse, Old Mrs. Xia was immediately popular. Now when Mrs. Xia said this, Old Mrs. Xia was speechless. If Mrs. Xia was the one who was Mrs. Xia, she would not dare to say anything even if she could not eat it. But her grandchildren were different. Zhao Changqing said that she could do it. Old Mrs. Xia had to say coldly, "I just asked. Since she understood everything, she would deal with it. I don't lack those things."
Mrs. Xia listened silently, and Old Mrs. Xia said impatiently, "You go and rest too."
Mrs. Xia left silently.
Aunt Xia patted her thighs and looked anxious, "Can you just forget it like this? I don't know how many good things there are."
"Shut up." Old Mrs. Xia scolded, "No matter how many good things there are, it's not for nothing. Brother Wen doesn't have to pay back these favors when dating? Don't stare at these three melons all day long. After all, it's all our things."
Old Mrs. Xia couldn't afford to offend Zhao Changqing, and Aunt Xia couldn't afford to offend her, so she had to keep silent.
Zhao Changqing knew about this, but just smiled and said nothing. No rules can be achieved without them, especially when the family lives, these rules should be established earlier.
She was thinking about the affairs of Su Wensu, the matter of Xia Gongren, and the big Su Tanhua who passed away early. Could it be that Su Bai's life experience is related to the big Su Tanhua?
Xia Wen slept until the evening and woke up during dinner. When Zhao Changqing talked about this, Xia Wen was also working in the Hanlin Academy and said, "Many people have said that A Bai and Da Su Tanhua statue, the same tribe, and an ancestor is inevitable."
Zhao Changqing asked, "Who is that big Su Tanhua?"
"Su Wensu's only son is very good at learning. I have seen him practice the ancestral history volume in Hanlin. His literary talent is very good, but his life is not long and he passed away very early." Xia Wen took a sip of honey water, "The elders of the Hanlin Academy all like A Bai. When Da Su Tanhua was alive, he had a friendship with Minister Qi. A Bai's marriage could not be said to be a brilliance of his appearance."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "Abai has no choice but to say anything about his own talent."
Xia Wendao, "The Su family has always been a great scholar." The ideals of scholars are not necessarily those rich families of princes and marquises, and the scholarly families like the Su family are their yearning.
Zhao Changqing no longer mentioned the matter of the Da Su Tanhua, and said with a smile, "Some days will be the birthday of the Birthday. Do you Hanlin have to prepare the birthday of the Birthday?"
Xia Wen laughed, "Only officials before the fifth rank are qualified to give His Majesty a birthday gift."
Zhao Changqing smiled, thinking that he would save some money.
Xia Wendao, "By the way, there is another thing. Two days will be the Zhongyuan Festival. We are not in our hometown and cannot burn paper in front of our ancestors' tombs. My mother said that she wanted to do a ritual at Xishan Temple."
Zhao Changqing said, "This should be. I will go to the temple to hear what my wife means later. I have to go to the temple to say hello in advance and let the temple have a room free. Otherwise, the old lady is afraid of being too old to be afraid of being too old to have a rest. If there is a place to rest, she will not be afraid of staying in the temple for a while."
The two of them talked about some trivial matters. They were busy all day today and were a little tired. After using supper, they took a break early.
