Chapter 13: A Treat
As she was talking, the third lady knocked on the door and came in, looking at Mrs. Wei with a smile: "Old lady, making such a will is a great joy for our family, do you think you want to celebrate?" ”
The emperor's marriage, after all, is a big face, no matter what, he wants to show a happy appearance.
Old Lady Wei restrained the serious smile on her face, and her cheeks were full of joy: "That's it! Tell me to go down, and everyone in the family will put an extra month's monthly money this month, and come to me to eat at night, so that the kitchen can add a few more dishes! ”
The third lady smiled and nodded, glanced at Wei An and said, "Do you want to invite relatives?" ”
"That's it." Mrs. Wei didn't think much about it and nodded directly: "It's been a long time since our family had a happy event, and since we came back, we have been busy and chaotic, and we have never set up a banquet, and many of these people in the capital have broken off personal contacts, which is very inappropriate." In addition, Ah Jue's marriage has not yet been completed, and we are even estranged from our in-laws, which is not good. ”
The second lady next to her nodded and laughed: "No, when outsiders mention our family, they all say that our family is to save money!"
This is a joke, everyone laughed, and the old lady made a rare joke: "The second daughter-in-law is getting more and more alive, and the older she gets, the more naughty she becomes!" ”
"Not really." The third lady couldn't help but smile: "The second sister-in-law is really getting younger and younger, and she is more energetic than young people." ”
The second lady shook her head while holding the handkerchief in her hand: "The juniors in the family are more calm than the other, do you have to live back?" Otherwise, how can you get it? When people mention our family, they not only say that our family is thrifty, but I am afraid that there is no one in our family, and our eyes are higher than the top ......."
This time everyone laughed even more.
The Dingbei Hou Mansion was indeed in the past, because of Emperor Longqing's suspicions, and almost never had any dealings with other families.
When Mrs. Wei went to attend the Kong family's flower party, it was also facilitated by Wei An and Wei Yumin, and since then she has gone out very few times.
And what kind of banquet is held at his own house, it is even more marginal, and even the New Year's Festival, he only interacts with a few in-laws.
But now it can't go on like this, Wei An is going to get married, and if his mother's family can't socialize like this, even if there is King Zheng behind him, it is easy to be gossiped about.
What's more, the juniors of the Wei family still have to be people.
There is no need to suffer anymore, Mrs. Wei smiled and told the third lady: "In this case, you will draw up a list, and invite our acquaintances and relatives to come, this looks like it has passed in March, although the peach blossom and pear blossom is no longer in bloom, but there are many new varieties cultivated in the greenhouse in our house, so that everyone can enjoy it." ”
Although it is not a good time now, the bloody storm that has spread in the palace is still continuing, but it is precisely because of this that the Dingbei Hou Mansion, which has received the grace of the saint, holds a flower party, which can make some people flock to it even more, and they can't wait to find support, isn't it?
The Dingbei Hou Mansion can't stay silent, and the Ming family can't be bleak.
Since she is still alive, she always wants to do what she can for her husband and her mother's family.
The third and second masters sent someone to come in with the curtain lifted, and when they heard the last sentence, they asked, "What's wrong?" What does my mother want us to reward? ”
The second lady was quick-mouthed, and smiled when she glanced at them: "Mother wants to hold a flower party, please come to our house to sit down, after all, An An is going to get married, this is a great joy." ”
The second and third masters glanced at each other, and the rehabilitation of the Ming family in the past was a great joy, but even so, the old lady did not propose to celebrate.
Now that they wanted to celebrate for the sake of Guard's ance, they thought about it for a while and understood the old lady's intentions.
Now it's different, Emperor Longqing almost doesn't have the strength to hold everyone in the palm of his hand.
It is indeed for the sake of long-term consideration, the third master thought about it, and asked Mrs. Wei: "Mother, is it appropriate at this time?" ”
Old Lady Wei nodded: "There is nothing inappropriate, the grace of heaven is vast, since it has given such a great honor, isn't it to make people happy?" So be it, but you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds when you are outside, and don't lift your tail to the sky. ”
The third and second masters both nodded hurriedly.
The third lady hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Mother, what about the Lin family..... Mrs. Qinghebo, shall we please or not? ”
Qinghe Bofu is now in an awkward position.
Qing and Uncle don't have a serious errand, and when they get old, they are messing around, but no one dares to snub them----- saying that they are in decline, but Concubine Lin Shu is now Emperor Longqing's favorite concubine, and she also raised the six princes, who doesn't know that Emperor Longqing regards the six princes as important as eyeballs?
But no one knows about their relationship with Lin Sanshao----- Qing and Mrs. Bo's relationship with this concubine is notoriously bad.
So although Concubine Lin Shufei and Lin Sanshao are hot now, no one dares to shoot Qing Hebo's fart, who knows if they will shoot the horse's hooves.
Old Lady Wei also frowned, and finally said, "Please." ”
Inviting only one less Lin San is too unjustifiable.
I had to invite them all, and when Mrs. Wei finished speaking, she saw the third lady and the second lady nodding, and said: "If Mrs. Qinghe and Mrs. Uncle come, it will be a good hospitality, don't be too warm, just be cold." If you don't come, it will save you a lot of right and wrong. ”
Only when I have done the etiquette on my side can I ignore them, and the third lady agreed: "The daughter-in-law has a number in her heart, and the other is the Ping'an Hou Mansion, as well as the second sister-in-law's family and my mother's family, and the sister-in-law's mother's family ......"
The eldest lady had already fallen out with her mother's family, and her mother's family persuaded her to remarry, but she refused, so she never had contact.
The Wei family has suffered all these years, and they have never seen anyone come to their door.
But recently, Mrs. Wei's mother's family did have a young student who rushed to take the exam and entered the capital, and handed them a post, so the third lady asked this question.
After a pause, Mrs. Wei said in a faint voice: "Since you took the initiative to hand over the post, then please ask for it, it's their own business whether to come or not." ”
This is to give face to the eldest lady.
The third lady knew it in her heart, and after talking for a while, she withdrew with the second lady, and the two concubines went to the third lady affectionately to discuss what to do about this matter.
Mrs. Wei said a few more words to the third master, and when the third master and the second master had gone out of the outer courtyard, she said to Wei An: "Shen Chen doesn't know when he will be able to recover from his injuries and leave the palace, it's been many days. ”
