Suddenly he felt his sleeves move, and when he turned his head, Duan Tingfang said in panic, "Brother, your face is too ugly, you have to smile a bit."
"Then it must be able to squeeze out. I didn't see that these guys have not entered the house yet, have they already regarded themselves as wolves?" Duan Tingxuan said bitterly, looking up at the sky, the scorching sun was shining in the sky, and he suddenly walked a few steps When he came to the prince, he pretended to smile and said, "It's hot today, why did the prince come here? Don't you usually go out in such weather? Even the empress doesn't need you to pay her respects. My grandmother is sixty-eight years old. It’s just my birthday, how can I deserve you to come here in person?”
The prince smiled and shook his fan. Although he is fat and clumsy, he is of noble blood, and he has a bit of chic taste. Hearing this, he laughed and said: "Speaking of which, it is all thanks to you, Tingxuan, thanks to you every evening for the past two days. Go to the East Palace to practice me, let alone, even though I was so tired that I was foaming at the time, my body is really much stronger than before. You see, I didn’t sweat much when I came here from the East Palace, but it’s the heat after all. The weather is too hot, go and give me two whole bowls of herbal tea to drink after you enter the house, I want a big bowl."
Duan Tingxuan staggered and almost didn't lie on the ground, did he lift a rock and hit his foot? Prince, you are the prince, how can you be so weak? Who did you learn this from
Jiang Changning also echoed with a smile beside him: "That's right, drinking herbal tea from my younger siblings is the best way to cool off the summer heat. Also, in order not to show off, you should find us a side hall first, and it's best not to let too many people knew we were coming."
"The second prince thinks not to let too many people know about this?" Duan Tingxuan sneered: "It's a pity, you are so powerful, can you hide it if you want to?"
Before the words were finished, the guests in several halls had already received the message, and they all came out to welcome them. The scene was chaotic for a while. After finally visiting the shrine, Duan Tingxuan saw a few servants coming out from the back of the house talking and laughing. Seeing that these people were immediately stunned, they walked back and looked as if they were going to escape, so he roared: "Everyone come here , What do you look like cowering? You, go to the backyard and say something. The princes are all here. Ask your grandma to send a few more big girls to serve tea and water."
"Yes." The servant who was named ran away in a hurry, and the remaining few who were at a loss looked at me and I looked at you, and Duan Tingxuan ordered again: "The carriages of the princes are all outside. You guys go Help clean up. By the way, what did you just say? What happened to the backyard?"
One of the servants hurriedly saluted and said: "If you go back to the master, the younger ones just asked Aunt Lu to help in Chunfengyuan. The eldest grandma made such a big thing. It has seven layers. What is it called a birthday cake? Servants I didn't see what it looked like, but I just helped to lift it carefully and loaded it on a small wheelbarrow, and it will probably be transported to the North Courtyard at this moment."
"Birthday Cake?"
The prince called out first, just looking at the eagerness at this time. It's really hard to see that this is the prince of the country who is praised by the emperor as "stable and wise, with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness". He turned his head and said to Duan Tingxuan: "I don't think there is any need to sit in the living room. Let's just have a lively time today and go to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. By the way, let's see what the younger siblings' birthday cakes look like. Good guy, seven Floor? She didn't build a building, did she?"
Everyone also heard that the shrew in Anpinghou's mansion has changed her temper. Now she is clever and good at cooking. They came here today with a glimmer of hope. They don't know if they can eat some fresh dishes. Hearing the story of the family, they have already felt itchy Feeling unbearable, at this time, after hearing the prince's words, there were immediately a crowd of responders, so the old master Duan Ni followed suit, and took his three sons to accompany seventy or eighty guests to the north courtyard.
At this time, Su Nuannuan, Aunt Jing, Duan Xinqi, and a few girls didn't know the grand occasion of the North Courtyard, and they were slowly watching the servants pushing the cake cart to that side. Honglian kept reminding them to be careful, although there were airs Stop it, but with such a high cake, it is too easy to make a mistake, so it will be a disappointment.
"Okay, Honglian, you don't have to be so nervous. I think everyone pushes it very steadily. If you keep talking like this, it will make people panic. If nothing happens, something will happen." Su Nuannuan shook the round fan and rushed towards Honglian After yelling, she immediately got the sincere support of the maids, and they were indeed scared to cry by Honglian.
"Grandma made this cake stand for me to order?" Aunt Jing also saw that the servants were not in a good mood, so she quickly raised a topic, hoping to make those poor servants relax.
"Yeah, your master is unreliable. He told me five days in advance. At that time, it was a bit late. Fortunately, he has a good relationship with the fourth prince. According to my description, the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed over." It was made by big hands after all, although the appearance is different from what I said, but it is flexible and delicate, it is not this shelf, today this cake cannot be so mighty."
"Sister-in-law, I can't help but want to watch the scene where the cake is unveiled in front of all the guests. To be honest, I have lived for so many years, but I have never imagined such a scene. I must be so excited."
"Don't say that the second girl hasn't imagined it, it's me... Grandma knows where I was that day. It is the number one selling gold cave in the world. If it is said that the singing and dancing are prosperous, there is no other place that can compare with it, but I am also I have never seen such a scene."
Aunt Jing, who has always been calm, was slightly excited in her tone, but she heard Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Don't say that, you also know who I was that day, your master said I was extravagant, today let you If you understand it like this, well, my filial piety has become a luxury."
"I'm just making an analogy." Aunt Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and suddenly saw a few women rushing up from the opposite side. When she saw them, she greeted them with joy and said, "Why is grandma still here? You don't know, the old lady's yard It was full of people, and the halls in the North courtyard were filled with water, and everyone was waiting for grandma's birthday cake."
"What?"
Su Nuannuan was surprised: "Why are there so many people? Didn't you say that there were only more than a hundred? I figured it was about the same. There are not as many noble women in the capital as there are crucian carp in the river, right?"
The mother-in-law smiled and said: "There were indeed only more than a hundred female relatives, but the princes couldn't help but come. Once they came, they brought the adults, the princes, and the princes and uncles. , and there are more than a hundred people, this is not the same as crowding the yard."
Su Nuannuan stood there, there was no wind around, but she felt that she was about to be messed up: mud horse, more than a hundred more? Is this cake... still enough points? Poor God, her shoulders are sore, doesn't the damn Duan Tingxuan know how to control the flow of passengers? So many people popped up all of a sudden, and the gods didn't recruit them.
"Who said that grandma made the birthday cake?" Aunt Jing grasped the key point of the problem decisively, and only heard the women laughing: "Why do slaves dare to ask? Anyway, grandma, you should go as soon as possible. Waiting eagerly."
When Aunt Jing heard this, she said: Yes! Can you make the old birthday star wait? So she turned her head and said to Su Nuannuan: "Sister, since this is the case, let's hurry up."
Su Nuannuan spread her hands: "I want to go fast, but the problem is that I can't get up fast." After speaking, she turned to the maids and said, "They are already walking on thin ice. If we speed up, who knows if something will go wrong? ?”
Aunt Jing was also speechless, and sure enough, several daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law also cried out one after another, saying: "Don't hurry up, grandma, this big cake will definitely fall down soon."
The women who rushed over were also dumbfounded, and suddenly Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "If you want to hurry up, it's okay, you go back and tell your master to come over to meet him, or just wait."
The women took the orders and went away, and within a quarter of an hour, they saw the young master rushing towards him like flying, and when they got close, they complained: "I'm really mad, thinking that there are delicious food here today, the prince and the prince The second prince and the fourth prince brought all the other princes. I don’t know what they gave for the birthday gift, but the intention of searching is already obvious. And those adults, when they heard that there was this cake, they lost their demeanor. Stretch your neck to see. Nuannuan your cake... My God, it's so high, there are really seven layers?"
Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it just the seventh floor? I just thought that there are so many guests today, so I must make the old lady's birthday perfect. It's about the same for each person. Who knows that there are more than a hundred people here?" , I don't care, if you have the ability, you can assign it."
Duan Tingxuan quickly smiled and said: "No, no one can say anything if this thing is warm and warm. If I share it, it will be difficult. After all, I still have to hang around in the court, and I can't see each other with those guys. Yes, who is good for who is good for whom? It’s up to you to divide. Well! In fact, how can there be more than a hundred? They are all guests who should come, but Nuan Nuan is partial to you and only thinks of the female relatives. Forget all about us men... Jinger, you are still laughing, this is what you want, right?"
Aunt Jing just kept smiling as usual, but when she thought of it, she was shot. She was tongue-tied and turned to Su Nuannuan and said, "Grandma... I... Grandpa... I... where did I laugh? But it's just... very normal... Is it such a day? , can I still cry?"
"Look at you making sister Jing so angry that you are talking incoherently." Su Nuannuan couldn't help laughing, and said to Aunt Jing: "Okay, don't worry, our master saw that there were too many wolves fighting for food, so he was anxious It's on fire."
"That's right, that's right, I'm just anxious to get angry, I knew this cake should have seventeen or eight layers..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Su Nuannuan kicking over, and the young master reacted quickly and jumped away, only to hear his wife grit his teeth and say, "Try telling me one more thing? Seventeen or eighth floor? You think I'm just kidding." What about the building blocks? Just this one, we’ve been busy since early morning, and the second girl, Jing, and sister girls are helping us, and we’re all exhausted. Still thinking about the seventeenth and eighth floors, do you want to exhaust us?”
