Chapter 36 Birthday Ceremony
On the eighth day of the second month, Mrs. Liu’s sixty birthday.
On this day, Liu Ruosi got up early and finished washing. She took some hairpins and rings and jewelry in the twelfth lunar month and June, and gave Liu Ruosi a few sets of clothes to choose from.
"Girl, I'm going to kowtow to the old lady later. The lady just sent a message to ask the girl to choose a festive and lively dress." Madam Chang sat on her feet and said with a smile while carrying the fifth day of the New Year to clean up her needle and thread.
Madam Chang's leg injury has not healed yet, so she rarely walks around, and her movements are limited to her own house and Liu Ruosi's house. Today I want to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Liu, so Madam Chang naturally has to come over to take care of such a big event.
"I understand, ma'am." Liu Ruosi responded with a smile, then picked a phoenix hairpin, two red gold hair, and a pair of pearl pendants the size of fingertips. After thinking about it, she asked her to take the box of jewelry given by Mrs. Liu San and pick a beautiful tortoiseshell hair from it.
Mrs. Liu Er left only the ruler's heads behind the gifts that day, and gave them to Liu Ruosi a box of ivory, tortoiseshell and other things. Liu Ruosi picked two strings of coral beads at that time, and praised them for the twelfth lunar month and June, and the rest were also collected. Today she was going to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Liu, so she thought about choosing a good one to wear.
As for the clothes, I chose the newly made set of lotus-colored embroidered branches and green calyxes. The ones she chose, except for the pair of pearl pendants and tortoiseshell hair, were all of them among the sisters of the Gongzhong.
Since he recovered from the injury, Liu Ruosi stopped wearing the gorgeous jewelry that Mrs. Liu bought for her, but locked them up.
"Girl, why don't you choose this set of red ones?" June said. Several sets of clothes were made for Mrs. Liu's birthday. The set that Liu Ruosi chose was the simplest.
"Save it and wear it back, and I'll wear this outfit today... I like the look of embroidered flowers on it." Liu Ruosi said.
After hearing what Liu Ruosi said in June, several sets of clothes were good, so I stopped persuading her. She helped Liu Ruosi wear them together with the twelfth lunar month.
"Girls don't have to do this. Today's day is special. The fourth girl will definitely wear red," said in the twelfth lunar month.
"It's enough to be festive and lively. Two people wearing red clothes are enough. If too many people wear red clothes, it will make the old lady look tired. The one I chose is the most suitable." Liu Ruosi smiled and said. Liu Ruoyuan loves wearing red clothes and she loves sharp clothes. Liu Ruoshan, who just came back, also loves red. She originally loved red. Originally, she liked to compete with Liu Ruoyuan, but now, she thinks this is a very boring thing. She has more important and more meaningful things to do.
"Miss has grown a lot these days." Madam Chang said.
"Mum, right," said June, "Just talk about these newly made sets of clothes. Thanks to the girl's new measurements, if it was done according to the original size, it would be inappropriate."
Both Madam Chang and Madam Chang laughed in the twelfth lunar month. Madam Chang said that Liu Ruosi grew up, more because she had grown up her mind, while June said that Liu Ruosi had grown up.
They said nothing wrong.
"I didn't think I'm taller, I'm just a little fatter than before." Liu Ruosi turned around to the dressing mirror that was taller. Perhaps because of some things, she has become much rounder these days, not as thin as before, especially her face has changed very well, white and red, and she looks very beautiful.
"This is just right. The girl was too thin before." Madam Chang said in June and the twelfth lunar month.
That's right. Liu Ruosi just replenished the meat she lost during her recovery period. She was at her age when she was growing up. Liu Ruosi had already made up her mind to have a good body in the future.
"I would have been as tall as my mother." Liu Ruosi looked at herself in her glasses again, tidied up her clothes, and said. Mrs. Liu's second wife's body was tall among women.
"Girl, don't worry. My wife is not as tall as a girl. She grows tall in one or two years." Madam Chang said.
"That's good." Liu Ruosi likes to hear these words, and nods with a smile.
After cleaning up here, I went out to bring in a bowl of bird’s nest porridge in the twelfth lunar month.
"It's still early, the girl eats this porridge first and then pass by." He served the porridge in the twelfth lunar month and handed it to Liu Ruosi.
Liu Ruosi took the bowl and ate all the porridge. Madam Chang was very happy to see her eating porridge. Liu Ruosi was originally a little picky about food, which made Mrs. Liu very worried. Now, Liu Ruosi has no problem with this, which makes people happy to see it.
After Liu Ruosi finished eating the porridge and rinsed her mouth, Madam Chang had already helped her prepare all the needlework and thread for the birthday gifts she was about to give to Mrs. Liu.
"Mum's injury has not healed yet, so I will stay for the house guard. No need to go there. Just kowtow to the old lady's house in the room." Liu Ruosi told Mama Chang.
Madam Chang naturally nodded and agreed. Today, everyone has to go to Mrs. Liu’s side, but there are also people in the yard to watch.
Liu Ruosi told Madam Chang another few words, and then surrounded by the maids, she came to Mrs. Liu Er's house. Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er had already cleaned up, and the whole family came to Mrs. Liu's house with laughter. The whole family gathered in Mrs. Liu's house.
Old Mrs. Liu was dressed in luxurious clothes and sat upright on the couch. There were red felts on the ground, led by Master Liu. The whole family knelt on the felts and kowtowed to Old Mrs. Liu, wishing Old Mrs. Liu a 60th birthday.
"Blessings are as blessed as the East Sea, and longevity is as long as the South Mountain." The children and grandchildren congratulated each other.
"Get up." Old Mrs. Liu raised her hand and said with a smile.
Master Liu got up first, and everyone stood up one after another and gave him a birthday gift to Mrs. Liu.
Mr. Liu Er gave him a picture of a pine and crane that he personally drew, and Mrs. Liu Er gave him a set of clothes and shoes and socks. Mrs. Liu Ruosi gave him a forehead with the word "Fu Shou", a pair of socks with the word "Fu Shou", and a pair of shoes with the word "Fu Shou". Others, Mr. Liu and others also gave him bonsai decorations, and some gave him beads and jade. The female members were like Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruosi, who gave him needles and threads.
Liu Ruoyuan dared to watch the birthday gift given by Master Liu and others. When the gift from the female family was delivered, Liu Ruoyuan came to Old Lady Liu again and reviewed it while reviewing it. This is what she does every year.
"The third sister still gave her these things. After many years, she has not changed. Even the flowers are still the same." Liu Ruoyuan flipped through the few needles and threads that Liu Ruosi gave her, and compared them with her in her heart, and said with a smile.
"These are what the old lady likes. As long as the old lady never gets tired of it, we will give it to you every year. As long as the old lady likes it." Liu Ruosi smiled and said, not caring about Liu Ruoyuan's words.
"Is this the fourth sister's needlework?" Liu Ruoyuan easily let Liu Ruosi go today and went to check the needlework given by Liu Ruoshan. Liu Ruoshan originally only prepared a pair of shoes and a pair of socks for Old Lady Liu. Later, she asked Liu Ruosi, and Liu Ruosi showed the birthday gift she had prepared for Liu Ruoshan. Liu Ruoshan went back and added another forehead wrinkle.
"The shoes are smaller, and the old lady will squeeze her feet when wearing them. The fourth sister is too careless. Don't you know that it would be better to make shoes for the old lady than to be smaller. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to give small shoes for the old lady to wear?" Liu Ruoyuan took the shoes made by Liu Ruoshan, measured them with her hands, and said.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Liu's face turned a little bad, and Liu Ruoshan blushed even more angry.
"Is there something wrong with the big sister's eyes? She picks the bones in this egg, and even picks up the old lady's good life. She says such unlucky words. The big sister wants to make trouble for the old lady. Looking at this, I also think the big sister's shoes for the old lady... are even smaller." Liu Ruoshan was angry and spoke very fast, and she fought back without any permission.
"The shoes I made are larger than those of the old lady's feet. How come they are smaller? Don't you..." Liu Ruoyuan immediately started arguing with Liu Ruoshan.
"You ladies, you two, don't pick on the kids at this time, like a child who has not grown up." Mrs. Liu said with a hurry, glaring at Liu Ruoyuan, "Big girl, don't say it anymore. You are a sister, how can you quarrel with your sister?"
"Si Girl, your elder sister said the wrong thing. If you are a sister, just give in to her a little bit. If you don't look at anything else, you have to look at the old lady. Today is the old lady's birthday." Mrs. Liu San also said.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San seemed to be conquering their daughter, but the meaning in their words was that the other party was not.
For a moment, Liu Ruosi felt that sparks were everywhere in the house, which was very popular.
At this time, it was difficult to go forward to persuade him. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San were both screaming at each other, and their hearts were filled with anger.
Old Mrs. Liu’s 60th birthday is to be held. Mrs. Liu and Liu Da/grandma, who are the housekeeper, are naturally in charge of the overall situation, and Mrs. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu San were also arranged for errands.
Mrs. Liu was not in charge of business, and she was too lazy to compete forward, so she was still arranged to take care of Mrs. Liu, but she was just a casual job. Mrs. Liu was arranged to go to the kitchen to supervise the birthday party these days. When Mrs. Liu came back, all the birthday party had been arranged by Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu and Grandma. Mrs. Liu was always in charge, but she was also a decoration.
"Everything is arranged by them. If it is done, it must be their credit. If something goes wrong, it will fall on me." Mrs. Liu San complained to Mrs. Liu Er when she got this job. She didn't want to take on such a job. However, Mrs. Liu told Mrs. Liu that all the guests were present were guests, and that tea and snacks were not wrong at all at the banquet, so she was not at ease to hand it over to the people below. Mrs. Liu San could not refute it stubbornly. "The good jobs are all in the hands of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Liu was responsible for entertaining distinguished guests, while Liu Da/Grandma took the matter of receiving and inspecting the birthday gift.
"I know that it's just suppressing me and not letting me stand out. The things in the kitchen are mixed, and they are all people they are used to. I don't know what kind of trips they have arranged for me to make.... I underestimate me too much!" Mrs. Liu San complained to Mrs. Liu Er, and shook his hand and went back.
Mrs. Liu San was not a person who only knew how to complain. Since she gave the kitchen matter to her, she did not plan to make decorations.
Just the day before yesterday, Mrs. Liu San took people to the kitchen. After some investigation, she sent two people in charge of the kitchen on the spot. Mrs. Liu San beat the two people in charge and fined them a month. She simply drove them out and neatly arranged the two people she brought back from outside.
This is not counting. After being sent to the person in the kitchen, Mrs. Liu San also found out the loopholes in the purchasing, so she clicked the purchasing name and was about to be driven out.
And these three people, without exception, are all the confidants of Mrs. Liu and Liu Da/Grandma.
