Chapter 165

Fleeting Nian walked in front of Fourth Master Xie and He Li, with a look of pride on his face, he handed out bronzing invitations, "You two, I am about to turn eighteen! There will be a banquet in the humble house, please be sure to honor me." , officially grown up, there must be a grand ceremony.Naishan's mother is the most considerate, she doesn't need to mention it herself, her old man has already decided to hold a family banquet to celebrate.

It was the first time in He Li's life that he was invited so formally, and he was both excited and uneasy, "I'm going too? It's not appropriate." The Nanning Hou Mansion celebrated Xiaoqi's birthday with such a grand ceremony, but with his own identity, he went to join in the fun Well, no, it makes people look down on Xiao Qi.

Fleeting Nian crossed Xiaoman's waist, and said with a domineering manner, "What's wrong with you going?" I was born by you, and everyone in the world knows it, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.It's my birthday, I'm an adult, how can it be such an important moment if my parents are not present.

He Li couldn't bear to refuse Fleeting Years, and he couldn't agree to go, and looked to Fourth Master Xie for help.Fourth Master Xie said lightly, "Go, let's take Xiao Shi and go there together." Xiao Qi is a junior, there is no reason to spend a birthday extravagantly, and there will only be people from the Nanning Marquis Mansion at that time.People in their family don't pay attention to worldly dignity.

"On that day, there will definitely be male guests and female guests. Me, I will drink with my in-laws, Tang'er, and son-in-law. You take Xiao Shi, and have a banquet with your in-laws, Yaya, and Xiaoqi. At most, you can also add Yaya. My sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, there is no one else." After Fourth Master Xie said in such detail, He Li made up his mind and nodded in agreement.

Fleeting Years is very nostalgic, "Being a child is the most you can do. After your birthday, you should be an adult no matter what. Grandpa and eldest brother and sister-in-law are about to move to Dongchang Hou Mansion. At that time, I should help my mother-in-law with housekeeping. "You can't just eat, you have to be responsible for everything.

Fleeting Nian had had enough of being coquettish in front of his parents, and had another dinner before leaving with his husband-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law.He Li sent his children away, holding Fourth Master Xie's lapel and weeping, "Although Xiao Qi is married, I always feel that she is still a child, and I don't want her to grow up." Xiao Qi will be a housekeeper, and the burden on her shoulders There will be more and more.

Fourth Master Xie stretched out his fair and slender fingers, and slowly wiped away the tears on her face, "A Li, Xiao Qi will grow up, don't be sad. It's a good thing for Xiao Qi to grow up. She has grown up. We can hold our little grandson."

With tears in his eyes, He Li nodded repeatedly.Fourth Master Xie had a faint smile on his lips, and asked He Li in a persuasive manner, "In other places, Xiao Qi might have to run around and work like an adult. But in front of us, she can be a child for the rest of her life. Ah Li said yes." no?"

He Li's eyes were gentle, "That's right, Xiao Qi is married and gave birth to a child. In the eyes of her parents, she is still a child." The two were talking, Xiao Shi stumbled over, and the nurse was behind Followed step by step, looking at him without blinking.

Xiao Shi rushed over and hugged He Li's leg, raised his face and yelled "ahhh", He Li knelt down and picked him up, "Xiao Shi, good son." Xiao Shi hugged He Li in his arms, stretched He stretched out a small hand to hold fourth master Xie, and pointed to the big kang by the window with the other hand.Fourth Master Xie smiled, "Xiao Shi wants to play on the kang? Okay, father and mother will accompany you." He carried Xiao Shi onto the kang, and played with him on a delicate wooden cart.

For the next few days, the fourth wife was depressed and bedridden.For her illness, Yannian and Bainian are the same. Those who should go to the Hanlin Academy will go to the Imperial Academy as usual, and those who should go to the Imperial Academy will go to the Imperial Academy as usual, but they will go to the fourth wife's room to say hello and greetings sooner or later.Xi's family is very miserable, and she has to wait on her mother-in-law's bed all the time.

Fourth Master Xie used to come to sit in the fourth wife's room every day, but the fourth wife's illness is not good, so he came every day as usual, but he didn't enter the main room, he just sat in the side room.Inquire about the condition, look at the pulse rate and prescription, send the gentle and elegant maid a few words of greeting, and then leave in a hurry.

Xi Shi couldn't help complaining, what about the two daughter-in-laws, why is it that my mother-in-law is always tired when she is sick?Tang Nian and his wife are really clean, they live far away in the princess mansion, and just live their own sweet little life.They are generally indifferent to the matter of the Xie Mansion.

After Mrs. Xi returned to the room, Yannian said "hard work" gently, and said, "When Xiao Bai'er gets married, you will have someone to be your companion." Mrs. Xi was startled. When he gets married, what year and month will it be?Forget it, let's make up our minds.

Mrs. Xi is still working diligently to attend to the sickness in front of the fourth wife's bed, but she often talks softly to the fourth wife, "Father never likes the sick, and he never sees the sick. He came back from the old man, and he sat on the side, but his eyes turned Looking around here, it can be seen that I miss you in my heart and hope for your speedy recovery."

Xi's voice was soft, and it was very useful to hear it from the fourth wife's ears.What the daughter-in-law said was right, Yulang didn't like patients, so he couldn't come to see him.But I was worried about it, thinking about it day and night, alas, Yulang was hurt like this, how could I bear it?Thinking of this, the fourth wife got better day by day, and Xi Shi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

On November 29th, Liu Nian and Zhang Naishan came to Xie's mansion in person early in the morning, and picked up Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie into the carriage. "I'm full, it's not easy. My mother-in-law specially organized a birthday party for me. On such an occasion, how can my grandparents not go?"

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie were all happy, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." A young daughter-in-law who has only been in the house for less than two years, who would spend so much trouble on celebrating her birthday?Xiaoqi's husband's family valued her so much, and her mother's family had to be more serious about it.

Fleeting Nian excitedly ordered the coachman, "Go around in a circle and go to the gate of the whole garden." First pick up the grandparents, and then pick up the parents and younger brothers.When they arrived at the entrance of the whole garden, they picked up Fourth Master Xie, He Li, and Xiao Shi. A group of people went to Nanning Marquis Mansion in a mighty manner.

When they arrived at Nanning Marquis Mansion, Zhang Yu and Xie Yu picked them up in person, "You two bosses are here, it's really a splendor." They were very polite and affectionate to Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie.After exchanging greetings, Xie Yu and Liu Nian helped the old lady Xie to the back house, He Li hugged Xiao Shi, smiled gently and followed Liu Nian.Liu Nian supported the old lady with one hand and her with the other, sometimes talking with the old lady, sometimes teasing Xiao Shi, he was so busy.

Zhang Xi and Zhang Xi accompanied Mrs. Xie and Fourth Master Xie to the big flower hall in the front yard, "Uncle, it's great that you can come. Both fathers and fathers-in-law are here, looking forward to you." Zhang Xi said politely .The old man Xie stroked his white beard and smiled, "Success, five old men gathered together today, and it was very lively.

In the big flower hall in the inner courtyard, there is a homely small stage outside the hall, and the music is melodious and graceful.The hall is warm and harmonious, with flowers of famous colors all over the place, the arrangement is elegant and generous, full of vigor and vitality.Mrs. Xie sat at a table with Tan Ying, Xie Yu sat at a table with He Li, Jian Shengnan, Jiang Xiaohan, Liu Nian, Yaya sat at a table, Brother Qian, Brother Qing, Sister Yi and other children sat at a table .Tan Ying told the old lady Xie in detail, "That's Brother Qian, the eldest of the Chen family. The younger one next to Brother Qian is Brother Yu, the second child of the Chen family. Do you think these two little brothers look alike? There are two little Achens. The one who looks gentle is Brother Qing, the eldest of the Achi family. Next to Brother Qing is Brother Pan, the second child of the Achi family. These two little brothers follow their father in appearance and temperament , I have my own ideas when I am young." Mrs. Xie also looked at it carefully, and praised, "Isn't it, everyone is good."

He Li has always been a humble person hiding in the corner, and it was the first time he was able to sit in a serious manner, unable to contain his excitement.Xie Yu didn't talk much, but he was extremely gentle, making He Li feel like a spring breeze.She is a distinguished Mrs. Hou, but she is willing to sit with someone of her status, which is really condescending.Even though it was a private occasion and there were no outsiders, He Li was still very moved.

Jian Shengnan and Jiang Xiaohan joked about Liu Nian, "Sister-in-law and daughter-in-law are celebrating their birthday today, and don't even kowtow to us?" The wife, Tan Ying, Jie Yu, and He Li all bowed in front of them, made a toast, and said a lot of sensational words, which caused He Li to cry.

After saluting in the inner court, Fleeting Nian went to the outer court to kowtow to the elders.Shen Mai smiled at Mimi and said: "Get up, little one, you celebrate your birthday today, and you are a little birthday star." On your birthday, you should kowtow everywhere, so as not to tire the child.Fu Shen also joined in the fun, "Little boy, get up quickly, it's your birthday today, so you can have a comfortable day." After finishing speaking, he felt something was wrong, when will the little boy feel uncomfortable?
Mrs. Xie, Yue Pei, and An Zan all encouraged some kind words, and Zhang Yu beamed, "Good girl, don't be too polite." Fourth Master Xie looked over indifferently, Wuji, when did Xiao Qi become your daughter?A daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law.

Fleeting Nian bowed down in front of Fourth Master Xie, thanking him for his upbringing.Fourth Master Xie stretched out his hand to support his precious little daughter, "Xiaoqi, how much laughter you have brought to daddy since childhood, this is already the best reward." Daughter, daddy would like to thank you for bringing me and Ah Li endless love. happy.

Zhang Xi's eyes were sultry, and the feeling of "it's so good to have a little girl" arises spontaneously.Xiaoqi, let's be a little girl, exactly like you when you were a child, white and small, and people want to hug her when they see it.

Tang Nian gently advised his younger sister, "After today, you will be one year older. Be an adult, be courteous and sensible." Xiao Qi, good sister, you can no longer sleep like you used to, love to be lazy, love to act like a baby , grown-ups should act like grown-ups.

Liu Nian raised his eyebrows proudly, "Does it need to be said, I will naturally look like an adult. From tomorrow onwards, I will learn from my sister-in-law to be a housekeeper. I want to be inside and out..." Just as he was angry, Liu Nian felt a pang in his stomach. Uncomfortable, I can't help it, I want to vomit.

Worry about Tang Nian.Xiaoqi, isn't it just to take care of the house, why are you like this?When you were young, you could sit and wait for food and drink. When you grow up and start a family, you have to learn how to be a housekeeper, and you can’t escape.

Zhang Xi hurried over and patted Liu Nian on the back. "Brother, you and sister-in-law are not allowed to leave!" Zhang Yi ordered domineeringly, "Let sister-in-law stay as the housekeeper." Look, mentioning the housekeeper scares the little one into a fright, it's not okay.
