The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 96

[Chapter 96 Birthday (3)]

Zi Su raised her voice outside and said, “Miss, the madam will send someone to invite you over.”

Today is Oak Xi’s birthday, the old lady has already sent a message, and the whole family will have dinner together in the upper courtyard in the evening. At noon, the meal was in Qiu’s yard.

Oak-hee’s treatment has improved now. In her previous life, except for the birthday gift that her aunt gave her, everyone else had selectively forgotten her birthday. Where is it like now, the whole family is doing it like a big thing.

With something hidden in his heart, Duan Xinrong was sullen and unable to lift himself up.

Zhou Shiya felt that Duan Xinrong could not do this: “Xinrong, you came to Yuxi’s birthday happily, but you went back sullenly, and when your family rejected the Jiang family’s marriage, anyone could guess what Yuxi told you. At that time, Oak-hee will have a hard time.”

Duan Xinrong’s heart froze, stood up and apologized to Yuxi: “It’s mine, not.” What Yuxi could say to her was purely because of their friendship, and she couldn’t cause Yuxi any trouble.

When the three of them arrived at the main courtyard, Duan Xinrong had a decent smile on his face, making it impossible to see the slightest difference.

Qiu Shi looked at Duan Xinrong and said with a smile: “This child is really the same day by day, more beautiful day by day.”

Duan Xinrong is actually very good-looking, with big eyes looking forward, pink face and red lips, a petite and exquisite figure, with two small dimples when he smiles, looking very sweet.

Hearing such compliments, Duan Xinrong replied shyly, “Auntie has won the prize.”

Qiu Shi’s heart moved, how could she forget such a good candidate, Duan Xinrong was three years younger than Ye’er, and all other aspects did not meet her requirements. Qiu Shi was not someone who could hide his thoughts. With this idea, Duan Xinrong became enthusiastic again.

Oak-hee looked puzzled, but she really didn’t want to go that far.

The lunch is very rich, a large table full of dishes, everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water. Oak Xi said, “Auntie, how can you eat so much?” There was a big meal in the evening, so it was a waste to cook so much at noon.

Qiu Shi said angrily, “It wasn’t for you.” This meant that such a sumptuous meal was prepared for the guests.

Zhou Shiya said cheerfully, “I just said that I like the sweet and sour fish and the lion head. It turns out that my aunt made it for me!” She looked at Yuxi very proudly.

Yuxi laughed, “I made it especially for you. I can eat a little more today.”

After lunch, Duan Xinrong and Zhou Shiya went back. Yu Xizhi didn’t hold back much, and sent them directly to the second door.

After Duan Xinrong returned home, he told her mother all the things Oakxi told her.

Mrs. Duan Li was taken aback when she heard these words: “Miss Yuxi really said that?” Mrs. Duan was happy to have such a daughter, so she was naturally very careful about marriage matters. The Jiang family came to propose a marriage, but they did not agree. Instead, they sent someone to inquire about Jiang Jing. She had always heard that Jiang Jing was very good in all aspects, and that Mrs. Jiang had a good reputation in the upper circles, so she agreed.

Duan Xinrong said: “Mother, there is no need for Yuxi to lie to me, and you can definitely find out if you seriously inquire about this kind of thing. Mother, let’s push the marriage of the Jiang family!”

Mrs. Duan thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask someone to inquire about it first.” She had to discuss this matter with her husband, but if what Yuxi said was true, the marriage would definitely be rejected. Otherwise, when her daughter is married to the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang will fight with Mrs. Jiang, and it will be difficult for her daughter to be caught in the middle.

In the evening, Master Duan came back from the yamen, and after hearing what Mrs. Duan said, he pondered for a while and said, “Reject it!”

Mrs. Duan didn’t expect her husband to be so straightforward: “Let’s go and find out! What if there is a misunderstanding? Jiang Jing’s child is very good. It would be a pity if there was a misunderstanding.” Very good, Madam Duan was very satisfied, she just gave up with Yuxi’s words, she was a little reluctant.

Mr. Duan shook his head and said, “There is no emptiness, Rong’er is still young, let’s pick it slowly, don’t be in a hurry.” Seeing Mrs. Duan’s hesitant expression, he said hurriedly: “We are just such a daughter, even if there are only signs, we can’t take risks. ”

Madam Duan nodded: “If that’s the case, then forget it.”

Master Duan said with a smile: “It’s not my boasting, my family’s Rong’er is different from each other, and I won’t worry about finding a good husband in the future. However, it’s better to find someone with a simple family background and a good family style, the Marquis of Pingqing is too complicated. “The Marquis of Pingqing is the only male in his generation, and he doesn’t even have a concubine brother. There are so many old marquis and concubines, but he has not left a son and a daughter. This shows the benefits of Mrs. Jiang’s methods.

Mrs. Duan said angrily: “The family background is simple, but they have no foundation.” The Duan family’s foundation is too shallow, so Mrs. Duan wants to find a family with a strong background for her children. In this way, she has in-laws to help her with anything. Of course, the premise is that she has to meet her standards, and it is impossible not to meet the standards.

After hearing this, Master Duan couldn’t help but think of what happened in the court, and his heart was a little heavy. Concubine Song and the Empress have been fighting openly and secretly, and the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince are also in a state of flux, and the calm situation is not known for how long. Once the calm situation is broken, it must be another storm. They are in the vortex, and no one can guarantee that they will not be involved at that time.

It’s not that Mrs. Duan doesn’t know anything about Chaotang. It is precisely because of her understanding that she wants to find someone with a solid background. If something happens to her family, there will be help.

Oak-hee had no idea that Mr. Duan and his wife had fallen into depression because of his own call. At this time, she was soft when she received the gift. The old lady didn’t send any jewelry this time, but a set of four treasures of the study from the previous dynasty; Mrs. Qiu gave a set of emerald jewelry; even Mrs. Ye was bleeding heavily this time, and she gave Yuxi a set of custom-made ones at Ruyi Pavilion. A set of red gold jewelry.

Han Jingyan was the last to deliver the gift, and the gift was carried into the house by two people, and everyone was stunned when they saw it.

Han Jingyan gave Yuxi a gift of twelve huanghuali wood-carved screens. The flowers, trees, and figures carved on the screens are all high-relief, hollow, through, and three-dimensional carvings. They are meticulously carved and exquisitely carved.

When Oak-hee saw this gift, she felt very delicate.

The old lady saw the screen, and then looked at Yuxi’s reaction, her face sank. The younger son usually looks shrewd, but he didn’t expect to be so confused in this kind of thing.

Yuchen looked at Yuxi’s appearance, thinking that she was silly because of joy, and couldn’t help but gently pushed Yuxi. Only then did Yuxi come back to her senses, and said happily, “Thank you Dad, I like this gift very much.” This screen can’t be bought for two or three thousand taels of silver, and this time Han Jingyan is willing to spend money for her. Come to think of it, it’s also because of her growing reputation recently.

Seeing that Yuxi really had a happy expression on his face, Han Jingyan nodded slightly: “Just like it.”

Wu Shi looked at the screen, but his expression was not very good. This thing is not cheap at first glance, the master is really willing. Thinking of this, the Wu family was depressed again. In fact, the financial power of the third room was always in the hands of the master, and she had no idea how much the third room had.

A complicated look flashed in Yu Jing’s eyes. She used to laugh at Yu Xi as a father who doesn’t care, but now the feng shui turns and she has become the one who doesn’t care about her.

Seeing this, Yuru looked calm, with no jealousy or unwillingness in her eyes. Over the past few years, she has long given up her obsession. Now she is only looking forward to her aunt to find a good marriage for her, and not much else.

Oak-hee’s birthday was not a big deal, but she was earning a lot of money. Zisu was in charge of the treasury of Rose Garden, looked at these things and said with a smile, “Now the girl’s private room is full again.”

Kufu looked at the twelve screens that were brought over, and said embarrassingly, “Where is this thing?”

Yuxi said, “My room is too small to fit, put it in the warehouse!” If the screen was torn open, it would take up one-third of her room. Of course, don’t say there is no place to put it, even if there is a place to put it, she is unwilling to put it, looking at it.

After the screen was removed, Yuxi looked at Zisu and said, “Go check it out, what’s going on with this thing?” Yuxi didn’t believe that Han Jingyan would go to great lengths to give her such a good thing. Gifts must be tricky.

Seeing that Yuxi was about to enter the study again, Zisu said, “Girl, today is your birthday, so let’s take a night’s rest!” After Mr. Song left, her girl didn’t let up for a day.

Yu Xi smiled and said, “I can’t sleep if I go to bed now, so I might as well read a book.” Since Yu Xi was rich, she was very willing to read books at night, and she always lit four candles in her study.

Oak-hee, who was huddled in the study, did not read medical books, but took out the “Han Shu” from the cabinet and read it. I started reading history books because Grandma Quan said that it would be useful to read more, but now it has become a must-do every day.

After watching it for half an hour, Yuxi thought about it carefully, and then wrote down her own thoughts.

In the Tingyun Pavilion, Shiqin said with some sighs: “The gift that the master gave the fourth girl this time has really put a lot of thought into it. The slave servant looked at the fourth girl this evening and was really overjoyed, and the smile on her face was ecstatic. never stopped.”

Yuchen smiled: “I hope this gift will let the fourth sister know that my father actually loves her.” She knew that the Wu family’s reason made Yuxi and her father estranged, and now that her father has changed his attitude, she believes that Yuxi will soon It will eliminate barriers.

An hour later, Oak-hee left the study, took a bath, and climbed into bed. I was tossing and turning in bed again, unable to fall asleep: “Zi Su, go to the study and fetch my medical book.”

When Shi Su went out, Ku Fu was waiting outside the door.

Kufu followed Zisu into the room and said in a low voice: “Sister Zisu, why do I feel that the girl doesn’t seem very happy?” The girl doesn’t seem to care much about this precious gift from the master, otherwise she would not put the screen on the screen. into the warehouse. It’s an excuse that the house can’t be placed in a small way, and there is no joy at all on the face of my girl.

Zi Su sighed slightly and said, “It’s good that you know about this.” Kufu and Dongmai are the girl’s personal maids, so they can be trusted.

Kufu said worriedly, “Is the girl still unable to let go of the past?”

Zi Su said with a wry smile, “You don’t know what the girl’s life was like before? If it was you, would you let it go so easily?” The girl had such a hard time back then, and she almost died. At that time, the master was there. where? How easy is it to restore the father-daughter relationship now.

Kufu didn’t know what to say. She has never experienced such a thing. Although her family has many brothers and sisters, her parents are very good to them, and they don’t even prefer sons to daughters.

Zisu knew what Kufu was worried about. Kufu was worried that the girl’s real thoughts would be discovered and would be unfavorable for the girl: “You don’t have to worry, girl, she acts in a measured manner. Over the years, the girl has done everything well. .” At least, except for the few of them who served closely, no one else could see the strangeness of the girl.

A few days later, Oak Xi knew why Han Jingyan gave her such an expensive gift. These twelve screens were originally a gift for Mrs. Jiang’s 60th birthday, prepared by Han Jingyan, but there were some mistakes when carving them.

Oak-hee asked, “What’s wrong?”

Kufu said: “There is a poem on the ninth fan of the screen, and one word in the poem is wrong.” In fact, it was not the woodcarver who made a mistake, but the person who wrote the poem at that time wrote a wrong word and wrote it down to the homophonic word. .

Yuxi said softly, “As expected.” It must be given to Mrs. Jiang, there must be no flaws, or it will be laughed at. Giving her something that other people don’t want, and wanting her to be grateful, it’s really funny.

Kufu was very surprised when she heard this, and said, “Girl knew there was something wrong with the screen?” Then her girl was amazing.

Yu Xi chuckled: “I can’t figure it out, how can I know that there is something wrong with the screen.” She only knew that this screen was so precious that it was carefully crafted at first glance, and she didn’t have that much weight in Han Jingyan’s mind.

This action of Yuxi fell into the eyes of the old lady. The old lady turned the beads and said, “I’m really confused.” It’s normal for a father to give precious things to his daughter, but it’s not normal for a young son to give something as precious as Oak Xi. She suspected that there was something wrong with the gift, not to mention Oak Hee, who had always been thoughtful.

Luo’s mother also shook her head: “It’s too late to be happy to receive such an expensive gift, but I didn’t expect the fourth girl to…” The fourth girl’s suspicion was really too heavy.

The old lady said softly: “She is resentful and also resentful. She resents Yan’er’s neglect and neglect of her, and hates her for throwing her in Qingzhu Xiaozhu regardless of her life.” Although the girl usually hides it well, but Her eyes couldn’t betray anyone. When the girl faced her and Yan’er, she had a smile on her face, but there was no trace of fluctuation in her eyes.

Luo’s mother couldn’t deny what the old lady said, only said: “Old lady, the filial piety of the fourth lady to the first lady can’t be faked. Last year, the first lady was ill, and the fourth lady was waiting by her side without sleeping, and the old slave saw it. I’m moved. Besides, the four girls’ love for Shiziye and Erye is also real.”

The old lady didn’t speak, but the Buddha beads in her hand were spinning fast, which showed the restlessness in the old lady’s heart.

Luo’s mother thought for a moment and said, “Old Madam, even if the fourth girl gets married in the future, does she still dare to disobey and be unfilial to the third master? As for the Duke’s Mansion, if there are the first lady, the eldest son, and the second master, the fourth girl will take care of her. Theirs will not do anything bad for the government.”

Mama Luo was entrusted by the Qiu family to speak for Oak Xi. Qiu knew that the old lady didn’t like Oak-hee, so Mama Toro would occasionally help Oak-hee with good words, so that the old lady would not make things difficult for Oak-hee. It was Qiu’s behavior that saved Oak Xi from a lot of trouble.

The old lady tightly held the bead in her hand: “If not, how could I tolerate her to this day.”
