Nangong Yue deliberately used this incident to show her ability in front of Mrs. Lin. She didn't want to be treated like a child by her mother all the time. She hoped that her mother would trust her more... Then, if there is any major event in the future, my mother will not just because of it. I am young and deliberately hide it from myself.
Lin was silent, she knew her daughter was right. But when I think that my daughter is only nine years old, she will be forced to grow up, be sensible, and be strong... all because of her useless mother. If it's not that she is useless, why should her daughter be like this! Why should she be like this!
Lin closed her eyes, and there was a rare firmness in her usual soft eyes. A mother is strong, for her children, she has to work harder!
The mother and daughter said their own words again, and Mrs. Lin left.
Que'er had been guarding outside Nangong Yue's room for a long time, and as soon as she saw Mrs. Lin leaving, she entered the room and said, "Miss Su, Miss Su Biao ran into Master Si in the back garden this afternoon...Miss Su Biao's servant girl six Rong stood guard at the entrance of the garden, so the servants did not dare to get too close."
Hearing this, Nangong Yue couldn't help sneering, she knew that Su Qingping was not a worry-free woman, and her fourth uncle Nangong Cheng was an adult and had already moved out of the inner house. It must not be easy for Su Qingping to "encounter" her fourth uncle, and it took some tricks to think about it.
Nangong Yue rewarded Que'er with a bead flower, and said: "Que'er, you have done a good job. Keep watching Miss Su Biao. If she has any unusual behavior, come back and tell me." Que'er respectfully After thanking him for the reward, he answered "Yes" and withdrew.
Nangong Yue was the only one left in the room. She sat quietly on the kang, thinking of her fourth uncle, and her fourth uncle's Tongfang Qin'er. Although she doesn't know the fourth uncle in this life, she remembers that the fourth uncle in the previous life was a sentimental person. As long as the girls in his yard looked a little beautiful, he almost all got close to him. Merry Seed, only pity her fourth aunt...
Nangong Yue thought secretly, a certain possibility emerged in her mind: Could it be that in her previous life, the first person Su Qingping set her eyes on was not her father, but fourth uncle Nangong Cheng
Based on the personalities of these two people and the current development trend, it seems very possible.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue suddenly realized that in her previous life, she had been lying in bed for several months due to lingering illness, and she had missed so many things.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, today is Su Shi's birthday, extra rewards were given to the servants in the mansion early in the morning, so the whole Nangong Mansion was beaming with joy, thanking the old lady for her kindness. The boudoir school also specially gave three days off, so that the girls could sneak in.
Early in the morning, people from the first room, the second room, the third room, and the fourth room, as well as Su Qingping, all went to the main hall to pay homage to Mrs. Su's birthday. Even Mrs. Huang, who was fined and confinement, was released today, but her voice was still there. It was very hoarse, I heard that one day I spent a whole night in the porch reading the female precepts, and the next day my voice became so hoarse that I could barely speak.
As soon as Huang's eyes saw Nangong Yue and Lin's, strong resentment burst out from her eyes, but she also knew that today was Su's birthday, if she made a fuss, it would be really over, so she could only lower her face docilely Eyelids, fixedly staring at his toes.
The children and grandchildren paid homage to Mrs. Su's birthday one by one, starting from the eldest house:
"May my mother (grandmother) be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan."
Everyone kowtows, and personally presents various birthday gifts carefully prepared by himself: the birthday screen painted by the Eight Immortals, the hundred-shou embroidered picture, the emerald embroidery on the forehead, the agarwood crutch... Even Nangong Xin presented the birthday star painted by himself. picture. When it was Nangong Yue's turn, she presented a birthday gift that was different from everyone else - knee pads.
"This is..." Su's face was slightly moved, and she looked at Nangong Yue differently.
"Grandmother, this is a knee pad that my granddaughter sewed for you. The granddaughter specially put herbs to treat rheumatism in it. I hope it can help grandma." Nangong Yue said respectfully and caringly, with an appearance of filial piety to her granddaughter . The pair of knee pads were said to be sewn by herself, but in fact she just talked about it. An Niang helped to cut it, and Yimei helped to sew and embroider it. Only the herbs in it were mixed by her own hands, and they would indeed treat Su's family well. Rheumatism is very beneficial.
"Sister Yue is really caring!" Su couldn't help being overjoyed, and praised without hesitation, which also attracted some envious or jealous, disdainful or shocked eyes for Nangong Yue.
Next, the third and fourth bedrooms also paid homage to the Su family and gave birthday gifts, and finally it was Su Qingping's turn. Su Qingping obviously dressed up meticulously. She took out her best clothes and jewelry. Since there were not many jewelry, she simply chose the one that suits her best. On the ear temples, the bead strings sway slightly when walking, which looks elegant and pretty.
But her face looked unnatural, and the smile at the corner of her mouth seemed forced. But she immediately adjusted her mood, and when she raised her eyes again, she was already smiling freely.
"Qingping wishes my eldest aunt a long life, and a peach holding a sun for three thousand years." Su Qingping respectfully bowed to the Su family, and her maid Liurong helped her present a birthday gift, "Qingping saw my eldest aunt a few days ago. Suffering from rheumatism, I happened to think of a place with Sister Yue, and prepared a pair of knee pads for my aunt. Although she is not as thoughtful as Sister Yue, Auntie should not dislike Qingping." Looking from the outside, The knee pads she made are much more beautiful and delicate than Nangong Yue's pair. The dark green silk cloth is embroidered with a vivid picture of flat peaches, rolled with azure edges, and warm rabbit fur is used inside.
It's just that Nangong Yue presented the gift first, and specially added herbs to the knee pads, which made her look more caring and more outstanding.
So this time, Su Clan didn't move her face any more, but ordered Wang Momo to accept the birthday gift, and said with a smile: "Qingping, you have a heart too."
Su Qingping twisted her handkerchief, and stepped aside unwillingly.
After a while, the mother-in-law rushed to report that Nangong Yun, the eldest daughter of the Su family, had arrived at the gate with her husband Bai Yuxuan and her daughter Bai Muxiao. The daughter also arrived at Rong'an Hall... Looking at the room full of children and grandchildren, even the Su family who is usually serious, couldn't help Lao Huai's consoling smile until his eyes narrowed.
The men in each house and the two sons-in-law retired from the inner courtyard after celebrating their birthdays, and went to the seats in the outer courtyard together. Only Nangong Xin returned to the Qianyun Courtyard--in these years, Nangong Xin, the capital of the Lin family, has been very protective and rarely Let him show up in front of outsiders, lest he will be hurt by gossip, and the Su family is even more anxious that this mentally handicapped grandson will not come out to see others.
The female relatives stay in the main hall, you talk to me, I talk to you, each talking homely, it's very lively.
Not long after, a mother-in-law came to inform that a certain family had sent a congratulatory gift... A moment later, two other families also sent congratulatory gifts.
