Abandoned woman has love

Chapter 124 Longevity
Recently, many aristocratic families in the capital have received the news that the old matriarch of the Duke Huguo's Mansion is going to hold his [-]th birthday.

In Qixia Garden, Ling Yunxi was seriously watching Ya write the post.She looked enviously at Qingya's beautiful handwriting with hairpin flowers and said, "Sister-in-law, your handwriting is really beautiful!"

Qingya put down the brush in her hand with a faint smile, rubbed the thick calluses on her index finger and said: "I have suffered a lot in order to practice this handwriting well! There was a time when my hand was directly I can't even hold chopsticks, so I can only eat with a fork!"

"Fork? What is a fork?" Ling Yunxi looked at Qingya blankly and asked.

"This fork! But our wife invented it exclusively! Back then, in order to practice calligraphy well, my wife tied a heavy sandbag to her arm. Every time after practicing calligraphy, her arm was so tired that she couldn't lift it. Anything. Even when eating, I can't even hold chopsticks. So, our wife invented a fork that can fork to eat." Yuxiu explained to Ling Yunxi with a smile standing behind Qingya.

"It seems that what you pay is what you get!" Ling Yunxi said with emotion.Behind every success is unknown hard work and bitterness.But she blinked, looked at Yuxiu expectantly and said, "Sister Yuxiu, let me see the fork your wife invented, okay?"

After receiving Qingya's gesture, Yuxiu walked into the room and took out a wooden fork from inside and handed it to Ling Yunxi.

Ling Yunxi looked curiously at the thing that was similar to a spoon, she held up the fork and asked Qingya excitedly: "Can this thing really be eaten?"

"Yes! It will be time for lunch in a while. You can try it." Qing Ya looked at Ling Yunxi with a funny face and said.

"Okay!" Ling Yunxi looked eager to try.

Qing Ya was also infected by Ling Yunxi's atmosphere, and asked people to clean up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Originally, she didn't need to write these posts herself.But there were a few, in order to show her sincerity, she had to write the post herself.

The old lady's [-]th birthday is coming soon.

Early in the morning, Qingya, Yin Shi and the others stood in front of the old lady.

The old lady dressed up very vigorously today, she was wearing a double-breasted red gown with hundreds of flowers wrapped around it, and the bright red clothes set off the old lady's complexion to be rosy.

"Oh! The old lady really deserves to be today's old birthday star. Look at her complexion is really radiant!" Ping looked at the happy old lady with a smile and praised repeatedly.

"Yes! Yes! The old lady is really happy today." Yin Shi also echoed.Even Yin Shi, who has always been not good at words, followed suit.

Only Min looked at everyone with a cheerful face, but she always hid in the shadows like an invisible person.She always knew that the old lady didn't want to see her and the master.Of course, she wouldn't deliberately approach her to make fun of herself.Besides, today is a good thing for the old lady, so she will not dare to step forward to make trouble.

"You monkeys, you know how to tease me, the old woman." The old lady looked at the beaming people in the room with a smile on her face.Originally, this [-]th birthday, she didn't want to make a fuss about it.But Brother Tian didn't do it, he insisted on giving her a famous birthday in the capital.Although it was difficult for her to say anything, she still felt warm in her heart.

"Grandmother, we are going to ask for money today! You must prepare a big red envelope for us!" Ling Yunxi said coquettishly while standing behind the old lady.

"Good! Good! Don't worry, grandma has already prepared for you." The old lady said with a happy face.As soon as the old lady's voice fell.Nanny Qu came out from behind the screen holding a tray.

The old lady looked at the grandchildren in the room with a happy face and said with a smile: "Xiaoyun! Take out all the red envelopes I prepared for them yesterday, and send them to them first, so that these little girls will not worry about it every day." on."

"Thank you, mother! Thank you, grandma!" There were ragged voices of thanks in the room.

"Oh! It would be great if the second child could come back." Looking at the people in the room, the old lady suddenly remembered Ling Shenzhi who was still fighting against the Tartars in Yuncheng.

As soon as the old lady mentioned Ling Shenzhi, everyone in the room fell into silence.Everyone knows that Ling Shenzhi is fighting bloody battles at the border at this time!
"Grandmother, don't worry. The imperial court just received the news of the victory at the border a few days ago!" Ling Yuntian stood up and said loudly, breaking the dullness in the room.

"Really? Are those Tartars about to be beaten back to their hometown by your second uncle?" The old lady looked at Ling Yuntian expectantly and asked.

Ling Yuntian frowned slightly. This year was different from previous years, because the disaster area on the northern grasslands was particularly severe this year.Therefore, this year's Tartars are also more tenacious than previous years.Although the imperial court insisted on peace talks.But the Tartars opened their mouths like a lion.One-third of the income of the Han Dynasty is wanted in one breath.Emperor Qianhe had already rejected the peace talks in a rage.The imperial court has begun to send troops to the border for reinforcements.

But it seems impossible to drive those Tartars back to the grassland in a short time.The problem is that today is the old lady's birthday.He can't say something spoiling either.Just when Ling Yuntian was feeling in a dilemma.I heard Qing Ya say.

"Grandmother, today is a good day for you! Besides, Second Uncle is the most valiant general in our dynasty. It is only a matter of time before those Tartars are driven back to the grasslands. So, grandma, don't worry about it." We are all hungry now, waiting for your longevity noodles?" Qingya walked up to the old lady beaming and said in a low voice.

"Okay! Okay! Xiaoyun, hurry up and ask someone to go up." The old lady also knew that this topic of hers was a bit sad.Therefore, she also stopped this topic.

After the longevity noodles were served, everyone rushed to serve them.There was another happy scene in the room.

After everyone has finished eating longevity noodles.The house also began to have an endless stream of guests.All the guests today are followed by Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Ping.But Qing Ya, as the wife of Duke Hu Guo, naturally became the busiest person in Duke Hu Guo's mansion.It is a great pleasure to welcome and send.

"Sister-in-law! Everything has been arranged!" Ling Yunxi said with great difficulty before sitting down to catch her breath.

Qing Ya nodded her head and asked, "Who is guarding Missy?"

"Zi Lan, there are still raindrops."

"it is good!"

In Duke Hu's garden conservatory, several young Confucian scholars were admiring the orchids in the garden with great interest.

"I didn't expect that there is such a superb product in the Duke Huguo's Mansion." Mr. Suo from Prime Minister Zuo's family said excitedly, looking at one of the precious Molan plants.

"That's right! The conservatory of Duke Huguo's Mansion is probably the largest and best in the capital." Cheng Feng said enviously, looking at the tall and spacious conservatory.

"It's not so difficult. In a few days, you will be Chenglong's son-in-law in the Duke Huguo's mansion. By then, won't the conservatory come here whenever you want?" The other Confucian scholars looked at Cheng Feng with teasing expressions on their faces. joked.

Cheng Feng's face turned red when he was teased by those Confucian scholars, and he couldn't help but say in defense: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense. As long as the person is not married, everything is still uncertain!"

"Hey! Look at what you said. Don't tell me that the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion dares to resist the order? Your marriage was bestowed by the emperor's golden words. If she can't marry you, who else is there in the capital?" Young master dare to marry her! In this life, she will only be accompanied by the blue lamp and ancient Buddha!" ​​One of the Confucian scholars said loudly after receiving the signal from Prime Minister Zuo Suo.

"Don't talk nonsense! Although I haven't met the eldest lady. But I believe in the upbringing and rules of the Lord Protector's Mansion. The eldest lady is definitely a sensible and polite person." Cheng Feng blushed and couldn't help defending. .

"Hey! You haven't gotten married yet? I'm going to protect you first. If you get married, wouldn't it be a heavenly protection?" Several Confucian scholars surrounded Cheng Feng and joked.

They talked and laughed in the greenhouse for a long time before leaving in a hurry.

Before leaving, Mr. Suo took a special look at the small wooden house at the end of the flower house.
