Chapter 338 This is the kindness of the father and the son and the filial piety
The scene in the private room was harmonious and lively. When all kinds of delicacies were served one after another, Xin An invited everyone to sit down, with each man and woman. The soup was basically taken into account the needs of everyone. Tang Gang stood up with a glass of wine and said a few decent auspicious words, and everyone raised their glasses, and the scene became more and more lively.
The men said blessings and auspicious words, and the women were smiling. Who would come to see me and say that this is a very good family?
The old lady was very satisfied with this scene. This was the harmonious look in her mind. Her father was kind and her son was filial and happy.
A dinner took a whole hour, and everyone seemed to have endless things to say. Tang Mo and Tang Yaoming were holding hands, Wang Shi, Tang Nan and others were talking about interesting stories about Qianmen Academy, Tang Yong and Wang Mian talked about business, Tang Gang, Wei Liangcai and Tang Yu talked about some interesting stories in the officialdom, the old lady''s family was very happy, and the whole box was laughing.
The old lady was tired of laughing. Seeing that the time was almost over, Xin An got up and asked everyone if they had eaten. The women said they wanted to go back too late, and the men wanted to continue talking. Xin An asked someone to clean up the table, changed the tea and fruits, and wanted to talk again, so she could do whatever she wanted to do. She wanted to go back and started seeing off the guests.
"My cousin, can you pick me up when you have free time?"
Wang Baoer held Xin An''s arm and refused to let go. In the past, there were no girls in the Hou''s Mansion. Every time she went to pay her respects to her aunt, she would go back. Now she wanted to stay in the Hou''s Mansion and talk to her sisters.
"Please, why don''t you go back tonight, follow us back home and sleep with Keer at night."
"Okay, let Baoer sleep with me, so we can still lie down and talk."
Tang Ke''er said this and Tang Baoer was moved. Mrs. Wang was helpless. Which girl from a family didn''t go back after dinner. She was about to refuse Wang and said, "Let Baoer stay for two days and wait until New Year''s Eve to go home for the New Year."
Wang Baoer looked at her mother with a gaze. Mrs. Wang was helpless. There were still five men in the Marquis’s Mansion, why did she come over?
But I couldn''t help but act coquettishly and could only agree, "I''ll send you a change of clothes later. When I arrived at the Marquis'' Mansion, I would listen to your aunt and cousin''s wife and get along well with your sisters."
"Zhila, Zhila."
Before Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Wang Baoer and Tang Keer got into the carriage with a smile. Wang smiled and said, "Baoer has no sisters. On weekdays, her brother and brother have to study, and she is bored, so she will be happy for a few days. I will pick her up to live in the mansion after the New Year."
Xin An also said that he would take good care of his cousin. Mrs. Wang said, "I am not worried that you will not take good care of her. This girl is getting more and more out of the way, afraid of causing trouble for you."
It is naturally a good thing to be able to live in the Hou Mansion, but now they are so busy that it is not appropriate to go there at this time.
Wang made up the matter with a smile, "What trouble is my own niece afraid of?"
Zhao took a car of girls back home first. Wang and Xin An turned around and started to send You''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Be careful, slow down on the road."
Gu is pregnant and looks pretty good, but he is very careful when he is the first child. Xin An helped the person onto the carriage, and Wang gave him several more words.
The remaining Zhang took the Wei sisters out. The Wei sisters came forward to thank him. Xin An smiled and said, "What are you doing so politely? Don''t stay in the yard when you''re fine and go out for a walk."
The two sisters thanked again, Zhang wanted to speak but stopped, and finally turned around and got into the car. The two sisters followed with a embarrassed smile.
Aunt Liu helped Tao Yiran out. Tao Yiran said a few words to Xin An politely. She waited until her car left and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. Next, she only needed to go back to the private room and explain to the men, and then pick up the old lady and go back. The old lady in the car grabbed Xin An with one hand and held Wang with the other, feeling extremely pleased, saying how happy she was tonight, and saying that if the old man was still there, how happy she would be to see such a scene. As she said that she turned red again, Wang wiped her tears with her. Xin An was at a loss, not knowing whether she should cry or persuade her, but in the end she simply shut up.
The next morning, I heard Tang Mo say that after the women left last night, the men added vegetables and drank wine. In the end, except for him, Tang Yaoming and Tang Rong, they were all drunk. Fortunately, the women left behind the people who served them when they left, "Or I really couldn''t send them all back."
"Everyone of them could not even drag them down. The one next door was also unlucky. He went to help the old man, and the old man fell directly on him. He didn''t stand firm and fell down. He was afraid that it would press his ribs, grinning in pain, and cold sweat came out."
Xin An, who was still in bed, found it interesting, "How great, isn''t this the kind father and the son filial piety?"
Tang Mo put on his clothes and turned around, "This is called adding insult to injury. The old man is strong and can the fake guy next door withstand that pressure?"
"I''m out and may not come back for dinner tonight."
"It should be said that I won''t come back to eat in the next few days, so I have to take Tang Nan and Tang Ye out to see people."
When I think about it for two days, I haven’t been able to be sincere with my wife, and then I have to continue drinking. When will I be sincere?
Wait until New Year''s Eve?
"What''s your look?"
Xin''an supported his head with one hand, "Keep yourself steady, drink less, don''t forget the world when you drink."
"knew."
He leaned over and pecked Xin''an''s mouth, "Let''s go, you''ll sleep for a while."
After watching him go out, Xin An lies back in the quilt. Thinking that Tang Mo can''t help her when she comes back. She is still busy, but she feels much more at ease. The most important thing is that the quilt is much warmer.
Heating is the greatest use of a man in winter.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy for another two days, and all the New Year gifts from each family had been given away. The New Year gifts sent by other families had been booked and put into the warehouse. The porridge was carried out smoothly. Next, we only need to prepare for New Year''s Eve, and finally we can take a breath.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor will be the author. From this day on, all officials will not have to go to court, but will just wait for the eighth day of the lunar month to start.
The emperor had a whim on this day. When he learned that the powerful people from all families were serving porridge, he wanted to go and have a look. After disguising himself, he left the palace. The carriage pulled him to see it out and found that the similarities were all thin porridge and coarse grains. Some eunuchs said that most of them were this standard, not to be conspicuous, but the porridge shed would not stop until New Year''s Eve, and there was a lot of food added.
What''s more, the food during the New Year is not cheap.
The emperor felt it was reasonable. After visiting a few houses, he thought about returning to the palace. After all, it was too cold outside, but when the carriage was about to turn around, he met Tang Gang. With a light stroke, Tang Gang recognized Eunuch Zhao beside the emperor and hurriedly got out of the car to pay his respects.
