It was already Chenzheng when the ceremony ended, and the female relatives had tea and chatted. Most of them sat for a while and then went home. They would not stay for the evening meal. Those who were closer would stay if there was nothing to do at home.
Ms. Cheng stood at the door of the courtyard and was talking to her daughter-in-law, "If you are worried, please go back first. I will go back after the evening meal."
Ma shook his head, "There's nothing to worry about."
"In my opinion, if someone goes back to deliver a message and asks Dalang Erlang to bring his brother over, they and the other gentlemen of the Lu family can be regarded as peeing and playing together."
Ma agreed, "We are all here. What should I do, father-in-law?"
Mrs. Cheng laughed and said, "You are such a silly girl. How can you starve him? If he wants to come, he will come. If he doesn't come, just let him go."
Just as Ma was about to send someone to deliver the message, a woman arrived who was so twisted that she was worried that she would fall apart. Ma grew up in Beijing, and her husband's family was from the south. Whether in the north or the south, she had never seen anything like this...
A pretentious woman.
Lin Qian saw the two of them standing at the entrance of the courtyard. There was no one waiting around. They were dressed plainly and there were not a few gold and silver jewelry on their bodies.
He muttered in a low voice, "It's true that Mrs. Lu brings all the small family members into the house, and she really doesn't take my aunt seriously at all."
After saying that, Taikoo snorted twice before being supported by the maid and walked a few steps into the middle of the yard.
At this time, a group of children came over again. They had already met Mrs. Cheng, and they pulled Mrs. Cheng and asked, "Auntie, is that aunt in poor health? Why does she need help for so many steps?"
Brother Bao followed the group of children, "That's my aunt on my grandmother's side. I haven't heard that she's not in good health, but she always needs help."
Brother Hai said firmly: "She must be in poor health. My grandmother keeps coughing and always needs help, but she always says she is fine. This aunt must be embarrassed to say it."
Lin Qian was really unsteady as she listened to the children's discussion.
Don't they all say that the world loves a weak woman? What's wrong with her being supported by others? How come she is compared with a person suffering from tuberculosis?
Lin Qian shouted angrily to the flower hall in the east chamber: "Have the three baptisms begun? I came here to add basins on the orders of the princess." As she spoke, she shook a few tinkling copper coins in her hand.
Mrs. Zhao was too lazy to go out, so she stood on the corridor at the entrance of the flower hall, "Mrs. Lin, just go to the midwifery."
When the midwife heard that there was another basin, she didn't care who brought it. She walked directly to it and said, "Ma'am, give it to the little man. The baptism is over."
Lin Qian was angry again, they didn't wait for the princess to give her money! This was a lot of money.
Many people in the flower hall were watching, so she couldn't just take the coins away, so she slapped the midwife's hand hard.
A midwife is different from a spoiled lady. When she is not delivering babies, she has to work in the fields, and her hands are covered with calluses.
When Lin Qian slapped the coin, the coin didn't hit the ground, and it even hurt her hand.
After Lin Qian finished giving, she shouted to the west, "Mr. Lu..."
"Excuse me, cousin, for taking this long trip at noon. Cousin is tired from taking care of my mother-in-law. Please go back and have a rest. Washing noodles and fruits and tea will be sent to you immediately."
When Lu Fenghe saw Lin Qian open her mouth, he knew she couldn't say anything good and quickly interrupted her.
Bihe always came up with troubles and scolded the little girls, "Look what you did. Why didn't you send three noodles and melon and fruit snacks to Shanfutang?"
After saying that, she blocked the situation in front of Lin Qian and said, "My dear girl, you are very kind. Please don't be like the servants."
The little girl who had been led by Bihe said aggrievedly: "The princess always takes her lunch break early, so I don't dare to disturb her at noon."
"Princess has rested, but Cousin hasn't rested yet. Don't make excuses. Go and get ready."
The little girl walked away muttering, "What kind of cousin is this? I have to rush to see her off."
Lin Qian was about to have an attack, but Bihe was one step ahead of her.
"What are you mumbling about? If I ask you to do some work, just talk a lot. If you talk too much, go and wash it."
Bihe scolded her, and Lin Qian suppressed her words, turned around and left with the help of the maid.
Not to mention Mrs. Ma, even Mrs. Cheng, who is well-informed, was eye-opening that this cousin living in a foreign country actually treated Qiao like this.
Since we have to send noodles and melon and fruit refreshments, we can't just send them to Fu Shan Tang. It's not that we don't send them to other places because we're afraid that people elsewhere will be unhappy. The main reason is that we don't want Fu Shan Tang to feel that we are special.
Lu Fenghe called Lufu in, "Fushantang and Wanshuangyuan must be given away. If the prince is in the house, Wosongju must also be given away, and..."
Lu Fu joked, "I know, I know, there are also husband's Tingzhu Garden and uncle and uncle's Guanlan Garden, and the slaves and maids will go to send them off."
Lu Fenghe waved his hands and said nothing. She really didn't think of giving it to Shen Nanxun. It was her fault. After all, it was his daughter's washing three sides, so it had to be given as a gift.
Arrangements were made to deliver food here, but Princess Chen over there was so angry that she wanted to throw the bowl.
"Waiting for the third time? No one came to invite me, so they just did it by themselves?" Ms. Chen asked again.
Lin Qian nodded, "It's done, the midwife is adding more basins."
"I want you to give the copper coins directly to the midwife?"
"Yes, I hesitated for a moment, and the midwife reached out to grab it, which made my hand hurt."
The princess slammed the table, "I've really gone against her. I've gone against her. I understand that she doesn't have to ask for permission during confinement, but she actually doesn't take me seriously."
"Where's Aunt Zhang? Aunt Zhang." Ms. Chen shouted loudly, which frightened Aunt Zhang who was dozing in the tea room.
Grandma Zhang rubbed her groggy eyes and trotted to the main room, "I'm here, old slave."
Mrs. Chen pointed in the direction of Bailuyuan and shouted, "Go and call Erlang's wife. Tell her that I have a headache and that I want to call a doctor and ask her to come quickly."
After saying that, he said, "No, go call Da Lang and ask him to call a doctor for me."
Nanny Zhang was in a dilemma, who to call and what kind of day it was. The princess was making trouble, and so was Miss Lin. The old lady was not sensible, and a grown-up girl would not be able to persuade her.
Mrs. Chen looked up and saw that Nanny Zhang was still standing at the door and said, "Go and call. Call everyone."
Aunt Zhang was a servant and could only do whatever the master told her to do. However, she did not go with her own children, but sent two inconspicuous little girls from the yard.
Mrs. Liu was talking to her mother-in-law's family, saying that the husband and wife of the Lu family had come to see many people, and that it would be inappropriate for Su Wan to live in the palace any longer. She asked Su Wan to go back to the Liu family to live there until the Lu family left.
Su Wan is really not in good health, and the Liu family's yard is not big but has a lot of space. It is not possible for one person to live in the same yard as in the Wang Mansion. But since there are so many people from the Lu family, and there is an unmarried husband, Su Wan still
It's better to go back to Liu's house to avoid suspicion.
Mrs. Liu comforted her little daughter, "Don't worry, your sister has talked to Sister Wan, and Sister Wan has agreed. Your sister-in-law has always been nice to you, so don't be lazy now during her confinement period."
