Chapter 213
Mu Yun was very happy when he heard Brother Can call her, so he took out a piece of mutton fat white jade pendant from the other sleeve and hung it onto his clothes. Qingkong saw it and said, "Sister, you have given this brat good things again. He is such a big little man and can't use these."
After hearing this, Mu Yun smiled and said, "It's not a valuable thing. Besides, the child grows up quickly and grows up in a blink of an eye. You can save it for him first, and then let him take it out and use it when he grows up."
As he said that, Mu Yun kissed Brother Can’s white and tender little face and said, “Brother Can, is your aunt right?”
The little man naturally didn't know what his aunt said meant. He thought Mu Yun was amusing him, so he giggled, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
Immediately afterwards, Yulan also took out the gift she prepared herself. In addition to a delicate little golden lock, she also made her own clothes. A lively and cute kitten was embroidered on the royal blue plain silk. Qingkong saw the clothes and praised: "What a delicate and bright work! I have never worn him such exquisite clothes. Lady Lao Yulan, you have to worry."
Yulan smiled, and then Shuhua also took her gift, which was a small sachet she embroidered herself. Her embroiderer was one of the best at her age. Needless to say, although she is not as good as Yulan, Qingkong and others, she is still young and has limited experience, so she is naturally incomparable. However, Qingkong could see at a glance that the thumb-sized Ping An buckle on the sachet made by Shuhua was crystal clear, exuding a green luster, and you could tell at a glance that it was of great value.
But before she could refuse, the little monkey beside her took out a small gift and raised it high and said, "Auntie, look, this is my birthday gift to my sister, I made it myself."
When Qingkong heard this, he quickly took it with a smile and saw that the gift the little monkey gave Can Ge'er was a small bracelet stringed with a red rope, with a small gold pendant with Can Ge'er's zodiac sign on it. It was small and looked very adorable.
Qingkong lowered his head, touched the little monkey's head and asked with a smile: "Little monkey, did you really do this yourself?"
The little monkey nodded arrogantly: "I weave the rope, and the pendant is made by my New Year's money!"
After hearing this, Qingkong quickly pinched his soft and chubby little face and praised: "The little monkey is so smart. This gift is really good. My aunt believes that my younger brother will definitely like it very much."
Hearing this, the little monkey hurriedly raised his face and nodded, "Really? If my brother likes it, I will make one for my brother next time." As he said that, the little monkey lowered his head in disappointment: "It's a pity that I can't hit a gold pendant, otherwise I will definitely hit a best-looking pendant for my brother, which is better than the current one."
Qingkong pinched his little nose and said, "Our little monkey is so smart, and he will definitely make a more beautiful golden pendant in the future."
Mu Yun teased his son and said, "Son, do you want to be a master of gold jewelry in the future? Since you want to make a better one, you still have to learn the painting skills well. If you don't learn the painting skills well, you can't draw the style at that time, so how can you make a pendant?"
After hearing what his mother said, the little monkey thought for a while, but didn't know what to do, so he pursed his lips and looked at Mu Yun with grievance: "Mom, is it okay not to draw? I don't like to draw."
When everyone saw his serious tone and aggrieved expression, the child's black eyes and crisp and tender voice at home were all very funny. Qingkong pulled the little monkey over and hugged it in his arms and said, "Your mother is bad, we won't play with your mother." As he said that, he pulled the little monkey's hand and asked him to bring a bracelet for Brother Can himself. The red rope made by the little monkey was gestured according to the wrist of his younger brother Xiao Donggua, so the thickness is not very suitable, and it is a little bigger.
But Qingkong wouldn't care about this. People around him could not praise the little monkey again when they saw it, which made the little monkey feel a little embarrassed.
Qingkong had never posted a post to anyone else. She thought that the person should have been here at this time, so she asked someone to put on the table and grab the things Zhou used, preparing to let her youngest son catch Zhou.
At this moment, a maid outside came in and reported, "Madam, Mrs. Qi is here."
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned. I wonder who this is? Qingkong had a hint of impatientness on his face, but he still ordered the maid, "The visitor is a guest, please invite Mrs. Qi over."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cheerful female voice sounded outside: "Don't bother brother and sister, I've come here by myself." Then everyone saw a young woman wearing pomegranate red flowers in butterfly patterned brocade woven and long-tailed woven bracelets walking in.
Mu Yun looked at the man wearing a pair of red gold-inlaid red-breasted phoenix hairpins on his head, as well as matching heart-selected, hair-pressing, combing, etc., and his hands were wearing one-to-one-finger-wide gold bracelets and two or three gold rings. It was such a movable jewelry rack! Looking at the man's dress and dressing, he didn't look like he had something to do with his family, could he be a relative of the Jiang family?
As if he saw his sister's doubts, Qingkong whispered: "This is the wife of a classmate and friend of my husband when he was studying."
Mu Yun was even more confused. Jiang Xu's classmate and friend? It doesn't look like this! Qingkong didn't seem to have posted a post to her family. It seems that she is not good to come here without invitation. Mu Yun also has some impression of this Lord Qi, but Mu Yun doesn't like Lord Qi very much, and always feels that this person looks fake.
Although she thought a lot for a while, it was actually just a matter of the blink of an eye. At this time, Mrs. Qi had already walked in and was greeting Qingkong. Although Qingkong was a little surprised by her visit, she still smiled and asked, "A child's birthday, I didn't expect to alarm you too."
After hearing Qingkong's words, Mrs. Qi giggled, "This is not an ordinary birthday, it is Brother Can's first year of age. I want to catch Zhou. How can I not come based on the relationship between our two families?" After that, she looked at Mu Yun and others, and asked with interest: "What are these?"
Everyone had already spoken, Qingkong had to introduce her one by one, and pointed to Mu Yun first and said, "This is my sister, Wen Qiao." He pointed to Yulan and said, "This is my brother-in-law's cousin, Mrs. Yun." Finally, he pointed to Shuhua standing aside and said, "This is Mrs. Yun's daughter." As for the other young people, they just ran to the back and played, and are not in the hall now.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi paid a visit to her one by one, and then smiled and said, "I have heard of the names of Mrs. Wen and Doctor Yun for a long time. It is a great honor to be able to see her today." Mu Yun and Yulan quickly gave in modesty.
At this time, the servants reported that the things to capture Zhou were already ready. So everyone went to the front hall together, and there was no need to elaborate on the process of arresting Zhou. Anyway, the youngest son of the Jiang family caught a sword and a book. Before others could speak, Mrs. Qi praised first: "Brother Can will be a person with both civil and military skills in the future!"
Others also praised her. No matter what she caught, her children were the best in Qingkong's heart. But when the child was successful and the objects she caught were very auspicious, she naturally felt even more willing.
After the capture week, it was almost noon. The flower hall had already set up lunch, and everyone went back to the flower hall to have lunch. Everyone was not drinking much from the female family, and the clear sky simply made people make sweet grapefruit tea instead of the wine.
Everyone gathered together to eat, drink and talk about family matters, and it was fun and lively. However, today, people are familiar with Qingkong, and most of them don’t know Mrs. Qi. Now everyone is mixed with an outsider like Mrs. Qi, so they can’t speak directly. Fortunately, Mrs. Qi is a talkative person and speaks funny. After a meal, Mu Yun has gained a lot of favor for her. But when she thinks of her somewhat unpredictable husband, her favor is limited.
While they were having dinner here, Shan Jingyan was talking to Yuan Chuzhi in the Jin Palace. Halfway through, Yuan Chuzhi suddenly asked, "By the way, what did Mu Yun do? Why didn't you ask him to come?"
Shan Jingyan replied: "She seems to be going to celebrate Qingkong's youngest son for the year, so she didn't have time to come."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chuzhi smiled: "Mr. Jiang's youngest son is over one year old so soon? You didn't say it earlier, you should send a gift."
Speaking of the Jiang family, everyone had just had lunch and was having tea and chatting. A little maid hurriedly ran over and said, "Madam, Princess Jin and Princess Yu have someone to send a birthday gift to the young master."
Upon hearing this, Qingkong felt a little flattered, and even Mu Yun felt a little surprised. Qingkong quickly stood up and asked, "Where is the gift presenter now? Please come in."
After a while, a second-class maid next to Shan Jingyan and Yuan Chuzhi walked in under the guidance of the mother-in-law. Although they were just maids, when they came in, everyone in the hall couldn't help but stand up, and only Mu Yun sat steadily in the seat.
The two maids didn't take it too much. After walking into the house, they saluted calmly and said, "I have seen all the wives, so I wish you all my wives."
Qingkong had already greeted the door in person, and quickly pulled them up and smiled: "The two girls are so polite! It's just a child's birthday. I didn't expect that it would alarm the princess and the princess. I feel really guilty."
The maid sent by Shan Jingyan was named Ru Ping, who also went out from Duke Cheng. She has known Mu Yun and Qingkong for many years. Yuan Chuzhi sent him a man named Mo Ran and Mu Yun, so after they exchanged greetings with Qingkong, they would inevitably joke with Mu Yun.
Ru Ping smiled and said, "Mrs. Wen hasn't been there in the past two days. The sisters in our mansion all miss Mrs. Wen."
Mu Yun smiled and said, "Are you thinking about me or my good things?"
Ru Ping covered her mouth and smiled: "Of course everyone thinks about it. Even the princess talks about the fresh fruits on the wife's farm every day, let alone our sisters?"
Hearing this, Mu Yun shook the fan in his hand: "It's easy to say. The melons and strawberries on the farm will be ripe in the past two days. As soon as I'll pick them to send them to your Jinwang Mansion." Ru Ping hurriedly said: "Well, don't forget our sisters, madam!"
Mo Ran was not willing to fall behind: "Madam Wen, don't forget our princess!"
Mu Yun smiled and angrily looked at them: "Don't worry, I won't forget you." Then he said a few more words, and Ru Ping and Mo Ran stood up and said goodbye. Qingkong personally sent them out, so naturally he could not miss a high-quality red seal.
Although they came a huge crowd of more than ten people, what Shan Jingyan sent was only two pieces of silk and a brocade box, the tribute satin cotton cloth and a jade lock sent by Yuan Chuzhi.
Mrs. Qi secretly glanced at the red brocade box with peony patterns sent by Shan Jingyan for several times. She wanted to see what was inside. She thought that Princess Jin would definitely not be too stingy when she took action. However, Qingkong turned around and asked the maid to put it away, without the intention of opening it in public.
Mrs. Qi, Yi, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and at the same time she quietly envied her. Her husband looked good at first, but she had already passed the Jinshi at a young age. Now she has been a Shujishi for two years, and she is just a sixth-grade editor. In front of her parents' family and sister-in-law, it is also an extremely noble job! Just look at Mr. Jiang, although she is classmates with her husband, she is now a third-grade official! How old is he this year? He is only in his early thirties, three years younger than his husband!
Not to mention these external things, just take character and personality as an example. Although Lord Jiang is a little cold in nature, he is really good at dealing with people. Even if Lord Jiang pretends to be in front of others, just by looking at Mrs. Jiang’s gentle eyebrows and eyes, you will know that she is doing well on weekdays. Look at Lord Jiang’s family, they don’t live with her parents-in-law, uncle, uncle, sister-in-law, etc. at all. Mrs. Jiang is just the boss at home.
