Mrs. Shi, the mother of the Marquis of Lin'an, lived in the Zhenshan Courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name every day. His husband passed away early. Although Tian Rugeng's grandparents and grandparents were still there, they had returned to their hometown in Ruyang many years ago to take care of themselves. Therefore, the old lady Shi in the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion has the highest seniority and the greatest say.
"Mother." Tian Rugeng was wearing the silk and satin worn by aristocratic young men in the capital. His youthfulness had long since faded, and he was now a bit more gloomy.
"You haven't seen her yet, have you? She doesn't seem to be in a good mood." Thinking of Tian Rugeng's uneasy mind for the past two days because of the child's full-moon banquet, Mrs. Tian's mother, Mrs. Shi, immediately frowned, but she was also half-angry. The tone did not really blame him: "She also invited several princes, wives and eldest princesses for your own good. Do you know? This is a huge wealth! You must know the depth and the depth, and don't make any mistakes when the time comes. You are confused, you must go home!"
"I know. But..." Tian Rugeng was very angry when he thought that his daughter Tian Lanshu's full moon banquet could not be organized.
"She always looks pitiful towards me, as if without her, I, Tian Rugeng, would be useless."
"As for her bad mood, she brought it on herself. It's not my fault to care about her mood and face."
Old Madam Shi was startled: "You must not say that. It would be bad if someone heard it and spread it to her ears."
"You can organize a full moon banquet for Tian Lanshu, but if you want to keep it secret, you will only wrong my poor granddaughter! That person's sister is Princess Zhong. If her sister finds out, will Princess Zhong let it go?"
Tian Rugeng stopped talking and lowered his head in silence.
Then Tian Rugeng came to Song's room with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Why do you have to set Weiwei's full moon banquet on February 16th?" Tian Rugeng, who had not been home for a long time, came back with a somewhat complaining tone.
After all, February 16th is also Tian Lanshu’s full moon feast.
"None of the children have held a full-moon banquet before, and I'm afraid that it will ruin the children's happiness. I wonder why madam wants to hold a full-moon banquet for Weiwei?" Seeing Mrs. Song's expression of displeasure, Tian Rugeng added.
Mrs. Song said: "Then I choose another day to let Weiwei be born on another day? Besides, it was Princess Huaiqing and Princess Zhong's idea to hold a full moon banquet for Weiwei. Does the Marquis have any objections to Princess Huaiqing?"
The full moon banquet is naturally held on the full moon, otherwise why is it called the full moon banquet?
Tian Rugeng's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty: "I don't mean to blame you, I'm just worried that you will be too busy alone."
"You and I have been married for many years, and you still don't know what I look like?"
Tian Xiwei was chewing her little feet out of boredom. When she heard these words, she started to vomit.
【How disgusting! Don’t you yourself know what kind of virtue you have? Moreover, the day of the full moon banquet happened to be the day when the heroine Tian Lanshu in the original book pretended to be a ghost to search for evidence of Song Guogong's rebellion. Who knows what will happen that day! I'm still too weak, otherwise I really want to slap this scumbag to death! 】
[And I think the look in the eyes of the bad scumbag dad today is wrong. He is so full of bad intentions, and I don’t know what he is going to do, but he is going to do something unscrupulous! 】
Mrs. Song calmly picked up Tian Xiwei and helped her tidy up her dirty things, her eyes only fixed on the [Wife Release Poster] in the most conspicuous position in the hall.
Tian Rugeng turned around, looking a little bad. Tian Xiwei saw that he was either spitting or vomiting directly. He was looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mrs. Song was a little disappointed, because Tian Rugeng didn't even look at the [wife release post], and then smelled the rouge smell on Tian Rugeng's body that didn't belong to her, she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart: "Master Hou, February 16th, must come back Yeah. No matter how busy you are with things in the court, don’t delay Weiwei’s full moon banquet.”
"Okay." A flash of hatred flashed in Tian Rugeng's eyes, and he agreed in a deep voice.
Mrs. Song smiled slightly: "We Weiwei are very lucky people. I heard that on the day Weiwei was born, auspicious clouds descended from the sky and flowers bloomed all over the city. Even the Imperial Master once said that an auspicious person was born in Beizhao. May Beizhao’s country and people be safe and prosperous.”
Tian Rugeng's heart sank: The auspiciousness coming from heaven is obviously due to the birth of my daughter Tian Lanshu! The abbot of Longhua Temple once said that the birth of Lin'an Marquis Mansion was extremely precious. When he went to fulfill his vows a month ago, Zen Master Kunai also presented 108 Buddhist beads made of relics of holy monks from past generations to bless Tian Lanshu. This stupid woman actually thought that the auspiciousness that came that day was because of her daughter?
Tian Rugeng sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Just nodded lightly.
Mrs. Song's heart felt cold, and she casually read the [Unbridled Poster] framed on the wall: "One point is wider than the other, one point is wider than the other."
Tian Rugeng pretended not to know the reason, and fled on the pretext that there was something going on in the court.
Finally, Tian Xiwei's full moon party was scheduled for February 16th.
On the morning of February 15th.
Before noon today, Mrs. Lu Guo will come over in advance to arrange some matters for Tian Xiwei's full moon banquet, and the servants and maids in the mansion will start busy early in the morning.
The silver tableware and mahogany tables and chairs complement each other beautifully, and the aroma of various delicacies is overflowing, making people salivate. Mrs. Lu Guo not only arranged for the royal chef for the palace banquet, but also invited the most famous blue and white troupe of Qingyuan Garden to perform for three days.
The gongs and drums are noisy, the bamboos are rustling, and the three-mile red dress is full of wealth.
Jars of century-old peach blossom wine were brought into the mansion, basket after basket of rare fruits from all over the country, and eggs dyed red came in cars. Wan Baochang, the first musician in Beizhao, also came in person. Wan Baochang was young. At that time, he had mastered the rhythm of music and worked all the eight notes. He once played beautiful music with chopsticks, which was extremely difficult to find.
Xue Tao, the best dancer in Beizhao, also said that she would come on the day of the full moon banquet.
The rest are all magnificent.
The guest list included all the literati and elegant people in Beizhao. The wife of a high-ranking marquis could be described as having an unparalleled reputation.
Everyone in the market said: Those who invited Wutian Xiwei to the full moon banquet are all lay people of the three religions and nine streams, and are despised by others.
Mrs. Song was in a good mood.
Dong'er brought out a set of solemn clothes and combed her hair into a similarly solemn bun, with a golden hairpin and jade ring on one end, which was very dignified.
"Madam, my lady's full-moon banquet is full of guests and has the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The old lady of the Hou Mansion will definitely be very excited."
Mrs. Song smiled coldly, turned around and told Dong'er: "Go and bring over all the women who were gossiping the past few days."
Dong'er was stunned: "Madam, I have taught them a lesson a few days ago. Madam Lu is coming today, and the family is busy, so don't delay Madam Lu..."
Mrs. Song said calmly: "Go quickly."
Dong'er nodded, she had always been loyal. Based on his memory, he kidnapped all the nannies who had been gossiping in the house these past few days.
Mrs. Song carried a letter, asked several maids to bring porcelain, and carried several women to the Zhenshan Courtyard, where they all knelt in the center of the courtyard.
The old lady Shi didn't know what was going on. She was just halfway through dressing up when she hurriedly came out and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what does this mean?"
Today, the mansion is filled with loud gongs and drums. Tian Rugeng also fulfilled Song's wish and held a full moon banquet for Tian Xiwei. What will Song do?
Zuo Qingqing's daughter's full moon banquet over there didn't invite anyone, but there were so many guests here. Is Mrs. Song still not satisfied? Besides, tomorrow is the big day, why is she so crazy today?
Mrs. Song stood beside the women and said coldly: "Say what you said a few days ago again in front of the old lady."
Several nuns did not dare to speak nonsense and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
All the servants and maids in Old Madam Shi's courtyard stopped what they were doing to watch the fun.
"Dong'er, let them talk." Mrs. Song said coldly.
Dong'er and Chunhua smashed a pile of porcelain together, piled it on the ground, and asked several nuns to kneel on it.
The nuns looked at the sharp porcelain and thought that their legs would be useless if they knelt down, so they opened their mouths and spoke.
"Madam, are you going to leave the hall, madam?"
"The Marquis only comes back twice a month. Does the Marquis plan to divorce his wife and marry another?"
"I told you a long time ago, could the young lady be born in another family? Why don't the Marquis and the old lady care? Is there someone outside the Marquis..."
Old Madam Shi was shocked, how could she say such a thing? I quickly asked Grandma Rong and other mothers to block the mouths of these mothers with toilet paper.
Then he said angrily: "You are too courageous! How dare you criticize the mistress behind your back like this! Come on, drag me down and slap me!"
Several nuns howled loudly. The old lady Shi said: "Daughter-in-law, please come into the house to talk."
Mrs. Song entered the room calmly, and without saying a word, she placed Heli Shu on the table.
Although the old lady Shi didn't know much about literacy, she recognized the words "Heli Shu" when she saw it. Her eyes were dazzled and she almost fainted: "Daughter-in-law, you, you, what are you doing!"
Aunt Shi Shi was also advising on the side.
Mrs. Song said calmly: "Although the women's words are harsh, they are telling the truth. The Marquis has only gone home twice this month, and he has not come back today. The Tian family has humiliated me in every possible way, and I, the Duke of Song Dynasty, have lost all face."
"The old Marquis knows well, and he probably doesn't want the two families to become enemies. Please ask the old lady to let me and Li go home."
Old Madam Shi was stunned.
My daughter-in-law has always been gentle and quiet, how could she say such a thing! It’s getting more and more unsightly!
Aunt Shi Shi was also shocked.
Madam, is your brain damaged by the stimulation after giving birth? How can any woman dare to divorce her husband's family? Unheard of! And this is the Hou Mansion!
"Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about?"
The old lady Shi quickly calmed down and said kindly: "I know you have been wronged. How can a woman not be wronged? We women are all like this! My son has been busy recently and has neglected his daughter-in-law. I will definitely give him something. My daughter-in-law took it out on her."
Then he knocked calmly: "Daughter-in-law, think about it, in the past hundreds of years in Beizhao, have the officials and their families reconciled or divorced?"
Then he smiled lightly and said: "Respectable families have never heard of a married woman who died of illness or hanged herself. There is no way for them to reconcile. I'm afraid your Song family's family tradition is stricter than our Tian family's, even if you are the senior member of the Song family. , I’m afraid I won’t let you act like this, don’t you think so?”
"Because my husband is busy and neglects you, you want to reconcile? This is not okay! We can't talk nonsense like this anymore! How will your daughter of the Song family behave in the future if the news spreads?"
Song's expression was indifferent, but she couldn't refute.
Old Madam Shi continued: "Weiwei is of course a real daughter of the Hou family. I am inconvenient and my son has been busy recently. This is absolutely true. I really didn't mean to neglect my daughter-in-law!"
"Daughter-in-law, mother promises you that there is absolutely no outside room for my son! Mother... mother swears to you to God! My son is as honest as a rock to you and will always be the same. Your daughter-in-law must not be confused just because a few mothers are gossiping behind your back. ah!"
Mrs. Song looked at the sky and couldn't help but feel sad: Is there really a god three feet up?
