Chapter 467: Birthday Congratulations (2)
Chapter 467: Birthday Celebration (2)
The next day, when it was almost noon, the courtyard of Chang'an Luo Mansion was not very large, and it was lively all of a sudden.
"General Zuo Wuwei, Yiguo Gong has arrived!"
"General Right Wuwei, Lu Guogong has arrived!"
"Shang Shu, Situ, Qi Guogong has arrived!"
"Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Prince, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has arrived!!"
“……”
With the loud singing of the Luofu steward, more and more people with extremely prominent status rushed to this small courtyard in Luofu, and the living room of Luofu, which was not very wide, suddenly became crowded, and the housekeeper of Luofu had to set up some tables and chairs in the wing room and the courtyard for the guests who came to congratulate to sit.
Of course, according to the usual etiquette, people like Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian, as well as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, and Changsun Wuji, who are prominent and highly respected, have all been led to the main hall.
"Originally, it was just an ordinary birthday, and the old body didn't want to be too extravagant and noisy, just wanted to celebrate with Tong'er casually."
"After all, you all have your own affairs to do, and I don't want to disturb you, yes, from beginning to end, I haven't sent an invitation to anyone, and the ward has a voice, but I don't want you," holding the hand of the eldest grandson queen, Luo Qi said with some emotion: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as Brother Shubao, Brother Zhijie, you all came over." ”
Looking at these old people here, Luo Qi's heart was somewhat moved, more than ten years have passed, and they have not forgotten themselves and their Luo family.
"Old sister's birthday, how can this palace not come, the old sister has seen us outside!" Empress Eldest Sun patted Luo Qi's little hand, and there was some blame in her words, but this kind of blame was very heartwarming.
"What the queen said is true, the birthday of my brother and sister, those of us who are brothers don't come, what is that like? cough cough cough..."Cough cough cough again, Qin Qiong's whole face was suffocated by this cough, and the green tendons on his forehead also flare up, it really looks a little scary, these days, his body bones are getting worse and worse.
"General Qin!" "Brother Qin!" "Second brother!" "Uncle Qin!"
Seeing Qin Qiong's uncomfortable appearance, the group couldn't help but look at him worriedly, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel a little sad, who would have thought that a pair of golden gongs shocked the world Qin Shubao back then, and a rare hero in the late Sui Dynasty, would now become like this?
Heroes are in the twilight, they are all old.
"Second brother, do you want to invite Lang Zhong in the house to take a look?" Cheng Yanjin sat next to Qin Qiong, and when he saw that Qin Qiong seemed to be sick, he hurriedly stepped forward to caress Qin Qiong's back, and asked with a worried face.
"Yes, Tong'er, go and invite the gentleman in the house to your Uncle Qin!" Old Madam Luo was also sad and worried, and hurriedly opened her mouth to give instructions to Luo Tong, because Old Madam Luo's health has always been bad, and there have always been some Lang Zhong who are extremely skilled in medicine in Luo's mansion, and it doesn't take too much time to call Lang Zhong over.
"No need, it's all an old problem, it'll be fine after a while, the old man is fine!" After gasping slightly, Qin Qiong's cough stopped slightly, and waved his hand slightly at the people present, signaling that they didn't have to worry.
"Today is the big birthday of my brother and sister, a day of great joy, don't lose this joy because of the old man's body, although the old man is old, but it has not yet reached the point where he can't move, his brother and sister and the queen are at ease!" After biting the tea handed over by Jin Duan, he took a sip lightly, and suppressed the restless Bixu, Qin Qiong sat up straight again, and looked unharmed.
"Okay, Xiaotong'er, come back, the second brother said it's okay, it's okay, you don't have to call it any more Rausch Zilangzhong!" Seeing that Luo Tong was still standing there watching, not knowing what to do, Cheng Biting Jin raised his voice and called him back. has been with the second brother for decades, Cheng Yanjin knows his temperament very well, and the second brother is a face-saving person.
"Well, okay, you can go back and sit down!" Raising his hand and patting Cheng Jin's shoulder again, Qin Qiong spoke again and said, "Second brother will accompany you to drink a few more drinks in a while!" ”
The people present are all people with super minds, looking at Qin Qiong's current appearance, they also guessed a little reason, and they couldn't help but be interested in not dwelling on this issue, and after casually greeting a few words, they inadvertently returned the topic to Luo Qi's birthday. However, even so, everyone did not let go of their worries about the body of the Duke of Yiguo, and they were carefully observing Qin Qiong's face and physical condition at all times, for fear that something would happen.
For this old founding general of Zeng Fengyun I, even people of the younger generation like Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Luo Tong are also extremely respectful.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Hahaha, Jingde is here to congratulate you on your birthday! ”
Because of Qin Qiong's body, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat depressing, but at this moment, a black-faced but sturdy old man stepped in from the outside, and his mouth was also shouting loudly, and his voice was extremely loud, so that the beams of the hall were trembling.
Yu Chi Jingde, thinking of this name, a smile appeared on everyone's faces, hooked the corners of their mouths, and watched Yu Chi Gong come from outside.
"Huh? The queen's mother, the prince, and the second brother have all arrived, and the old man seems to be late again! Seeing that the hall was full of people, Wei Chi Jingde muttered a sentence in his mouth in a low voice, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and saluted Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian, and then walked up with a smile on his face, squeezed in front of Qin Qiong, bent down to say hello to the second brother, and then sat in the middle of Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin, unconcerned by Cheng Biting Jin's glares and dissatisfaction.
"Those who are far away are coming, Lao Jingde is worried about the birthday of the old body!" Seeing that Yu Chi Jingde was still as grinning as before, Luo Qishi smiled and nodded to look at him.
"Sister-in-law is polite, in previous years, sister-in-law and nephew were not in Chang'an, Jingde can't go in person when he celebrates his birthday, even if he can't go in person, now it's so close, if Jingde doesn't come again, I'm afraid that even the second brother can't spare me!" By Qin Qiong's side, Wei Chi Jingde laughed loudly again.
"Hehe..."
The atmosphere in the hall, after Wei Chi Jingde was so stirred, also became brisk and cheerful, Luo Tong raised his eyes and looked out, the sun was already in the sky, and noon was coming, so he got up and said to Luo Qi's family: "The hour is almost up, mother, will you have a banquet?" ”
"Well," Luo Qi nodded slightly, and gave an order to the housekeeper Luo Xiang, and then bowed to the eldest grandson queen and the others: "Queen Mother, Brother Qin, let's all take a seat first!" ”
"Today is my sister's birthday, everything is big with the old sister, the old sister first, please first!" Empress Changsun chuckled and helped up the Luo Qi clan, and without the objection of the Luo Qi clan, she took the lead in sitting on the head, and then sat lightly on the right side of the Luo Qi clan.
In the interval between serving, the housekeeper Luo Xiang stood on the side and asked the eldest grandson queen and Luo Qi's for instructions: "Queen mother, old lady, in the morning, a son brought a singer over, saying that he wanted to send a wonderful song to celebrate the old lady's birthday, I wonder if I should invite her to come up and sing now?" ”
"Oh?" Luo Qi's and the eldest grandson's queen were all moved in their hearts, and they guessed who it was, Luo Qi's raised his eyes and asked the eldest grandson queen for instructions, and then waved his hand to Luo Xiang and ordered: "Please ask that girl to come up first, well, the original songs and dances in the house lean back first." ”
"Yes, old lady!" Luo Xiang bowed, turned around and made a gesture to the little guy who was waiting on the side, and then bent down again and waited behind Luo Qi's family.
"This son is also here to congratulate Mrs. Luo on her birthday?" In the backyard of Luofu, in front of one of the most inconspicuous wine tables, Liu Yiyi was quietly sipping the wine on the table, and a child about twelve or thirteen years old raised his glass and asked Liu Yiyi softly.
"Why would this little brother ask such a question?" Seeing that this child was looking at himself curiously, Liu Yiyi also looked down at himself up and down, and he knew a little in his heart, compared to other people around him, his clothes were really a little shabby, and they didn't fit in with here. Liu Yiyi chuckled, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine, and asked the child, "Don't you know, this little brother thinks that so-and-so is here to eat white food?" ”
"Little brother?" Listening to Liu Yiyi's name for himself, the young man was slightly stunned, then laughed happily, and the little adult arched his hand to Liu Yiyi and said: "This brother is laughing, Brother Ren is extraordinary, how can he do that unbearable act, hehe, little brother Li Zhen, I don't know what this brother is called?" ”
"Liu Yifan!" Liu Yiyi returned the salute, stretched out his hand very casually and invited Li Zhen to sit on the side, poured himself a cup with a pot, and looked at Li Zhen with a wine glass in his hand, and said to him: "Little brother is not suitable for drinking at such an age now, especially the spirit of 'three bowls are not enough', it is better to drink less in the future." ”
"Huh?" Li Zhen glanced at Liu Yiyi with some astonishment, why did he say such a thing to himself as soon as they met? Although Liu Yifan's words were a little blunt, the hint of concern in his words still moved Li Zhenshao, and no one had said these words to him like this for a long time. For the stranger in front of him who had just met, Li Zhen's heart rose with a hint of goodwill and closeness.
