Chapter 31 The twenty-ninth episode of Teng Huan's family laughs and laughs at Long Yi, who is full of joy

Seeing his expression, Qiuxiang stopped laughing and asked what was the matter?Yu'er smiled and said, "Let's go, the Fourth Uncle and the Fourth Miss are back. Ah! There's also a little girl who looks like a doll. It's really fun. The wife's room is full of people now." Yanxi heard that it was Such a thing, she said with a smile: "It's a big fuss, it makes people jump, why didn't there be a telegram?" Yu'er said: "Miss Si said, let us not guess when she will arrive, so we can let everyone go out when we get home." It's an unexpected pleasure." Yanxi heard, turned and ran away without saying another word to Qiuxiang.Qiuxiang shouted: "Qiye, Qiye, don't run away, don't you keep the check on this table?" Yanxi walked far away, turned around and said: "It doesn't matter. How about you put the paper box away?" Hold the key in the box, open the drawer, put the check in, lock the hidden lock, then..." Dai said to take away, and the following words were no longer heard.Yanxi walked into her mother's room, and she saw that the room was full of people. Mrs. Jin was holding a little girl in a white suit in her arms, smiling all over her face.His fourth sister Daozhi and fourth brother-in-law Liu Shouhua were surrounded by everyone and were joking.When Liu Shouhua saw Yanxi, he quickly took a step forward, held Yanxi's hand, and looked over his head.He smiled and said: "Seventh brother is still like this, he hasn't aged at all." Yanxi laughed and said, "How old are you? Just say old. I think the fourth brother-in-law is a bit darker." Liu Shouhua said: "People who travel, of course not. People at home are comfortable, why not black?" Daozhi also came over and smiled, "Guess why I came back today?" Yanxi said: "Then how do I know?" Liu Shouhua said: "Your fourth sister Said that you are eighteen years old the day after tomorrow, so I rushed back to celebrate your birthday." Yanxi laughed and said, "My family forgot, but those who traveled far away remember. Thank you, thank you!" Runzhi said: "You have to make this clear, We just said we were going to give you a birthday gift, how can we say we forgot?" Yanxi said: "I didn't dare to say you!" Runzhi said: "Who are you talking about?" Yanxi didn't want to explain. Well, after the explanation, I looked at the people sitting in the room, and none of them dared to offend, so I didn't know which one to say?He laughed and said, "Anyway, some people forget, so why bother to ask? Birthday is not only forgotten by other people, but also easily forgotten by oneself. So I say that people in the family forget, that is also true." Runzhi said: "Who do you want to point out? You can't point out anyone, but you must say that someone has forgotten, so you're talking nonsense." Mei Li was sitting next to Mrs. Jin, teasing her little nephew. Embarrassed, Xi smiled and said, "Someone forgot. I don't know about others. I said to myself that I just remembered it when my fourth sister mentioned it. In this way, I am the only one who forgot." Run Zhixiao Dao: "It's no good for him to treat you. Why do you rescue him? Let him be embarrassed, and see if he will still talk nonsense in the future?" " Yanxi said: "Merry, listen, honest people are good, isn't it? This will get good criticism." Mrs. Jin said: "Since you know that honesty is good, why are you not honest?" Said, and everyone in the room laughed.Everyone laughed, Yanxi said: "I have been talking for a long time, what did the fourth sister bring to us, but I haven't seen it yet! I think it must be quite a lot." Daozhi said: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything As soon as I entered the door, I made a statement first. Since you didn’t hear, I might as well say one more thing. Isn’t there a boycott of Japanese products in the country now? Even the three of us came from Japan. A lot of Japanese things? If you think I'm saving money, I can buy other things for you." Mei Li said: "What we want are the things you brought, if you go to Beijing to buy things and send them back, then that's fine. There is no reason." Dao Zhi said: "You are also a person who can't hold a high hat, if you say you are honest, you will become more honest." After saying this, everyone laughed again.They met as brothers and sisters, talking and laughing for a long time.Mrs. Jin has assigned someone to clean two rooms for Daozhi and his wife to live in.It turned out that Liu Shouhua was serving as a consul in Japan, and now the Ministry has issued an order to transfer the appointment.It was the first time the couple came to Beijing, and they hadn't looked at the house yet, so they lived in Jin's house for the time being.Liu Shouhua and a Japanese concubine also came together.This day's woman is Mingchuan Yingzi, she was originally a daughter in the Liu family, and after a long time, she fell in love with her master.Daozhi dismissed Yingzi because she had no temper and served her attentively, so he couldn't save face and let them go.Later, under the understanding of his wife, Shouhua asked Yingzi to be his concubine.This time when the Shouhua couple returned to China, Yingzi naturally followed.First of all, it is much better to be a concubine in China than to be a concubine in Japan.Second, this is also in line with Japan's colonial policy.But Shouhua was very afraid of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it was inconvenient to bring his concubine in when he arrived at his home.So after getting off at the station, Sakurako took a piece of luggage and went to the Japanese hotel Cangkaikan.The relationship between Daozhi and her husband was originally very good, since he didn't dare to blatantly make trouble, it was inconvenient for Daozhi to definitely expose his shady plot, so no one in the Jin family knew about it.

A day later, it was already Yanxi's birthday.This is the rule of the Jin family, the whole life is to do nine but not ten.Yanxi's 20 years old, originally planned to do it next year, because there is news that Yanxi will go abroad next year, so it will be moved forward one year.Mrs. Jin allocated a noodle meal in the kitchen one day earlier, and everyone ate noodles.The happiest people here are naturally a group of innocent girls, who just worry about not being able to find something exciting.So early in the morning, Qiuxiang made an appointment with Xiaolan and Yu'er to change clothes, and then came to pay Yanxi's birthday.Walking outside Yanxi's study, I saw Jin Rong was holding a feather duster, holding the door behind his back, and coming out from the door.He had already laughed and said: "It's so early for the three girls, and they are here to pay their respects at this time. Lord Qi hasn't woken up yet, and he's sleeping soundly." Xiaolan followed Mrs. Jin and always obeyed the rules. After hearing this, she felt a little Excuse me.With a blushing face, he said: "We have something to do, come and see if Master Qi is up? Who said birthday wishes?" After finishing speaking, he turned and left.The Jin family can be regarded as a family with some Western civilization, and the kowtow ceremony has long been abolished.So Yanxi didn't have to go to salute to her parents this day, and there was no one in her generation to say congratulations.It's just that everyone prepared presents one after another and sent them to Yanxi.Although his three sisters and three sister-in-laws all sent checks, because they had to embellish their face, they bought some other gifts and sent them.Among them, there are stationery supplies, cosmetics, silk materials, and food.Jin Quan himself gave Yanxi a Swiss watch, which meant to cherish time.Mrs. Jin gave a suit, the second concubine and Aunt Cui also gave each a check of 100 yuan, the second concubine gave another fountain pen, and Aunt Cui gave fourteen boxes of antique letterheads, all of which were counted. People mean a little lesson.Among them are only Meili's things, which are the most suitable gifts.It's a big picture of two dozen foreign movie stars.All the gifts were either in boxes or wrapped in paper, and on the outside according to Yanxi's relationship, the words "Weak Crown Commemoration" were written on the outside.Jin Rong put the two writing desks together, and placed all the presents on them.Yanxi didn't get up, the things on the two writing desks were already full, and they were arranged layer by layer according to seniority.In addition, there were more than 30 pots of sweet-scented osmanthus bonsai presented by Qiuxiang and others, all of which were placed on the railings of the corridor outside the house.In addition, at the request of Jin Rong and Li Sheng's servants, they hung ten thousand national flags and brocade ribbons around the corridors. Although they were not very gorgeous, these rooms were full of flowers.

Sleeping until ten o'clock, Yanxi woke up when she turned over, and suddenly a strange fragrance hit her nose.Pressing the quilt head and sniffing the air, it was the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.That's how they know their gift has been delivered.He got up quickly, and didn't have time to put on clothes. He touched a Russian blanket and draped it over his shoulders. Then he put on his shoes and went to the outside room to see the presents.At this time, Yufen also came inside to see the presents.Upon seeing it, she smiled and said, "Today isn't your birthday, so I want to describe it in a good way." Yanxi said, "No need to describe it, I know it myself, do I look like a rickshaw driver?" Yufen He said: "Don't be naughty. Just get up and put on your clothes, otherwise, you will be cold. I'll call you a servant, put on quickly, so we can eat noodles together." Yanxi rang the bell, and Jin Rong came in to deliver washing water.When Jin Rong saw it, it was also funny.Yanxi asked Yufen to sit in the room outside, and she hurriedly washed her face and put on her clothes.Get dressed, follow Yanxi, and drink some tea before leaving.Yufen said: "Let's go, let's go, go to the dining room to eat noodles, there are many people waiting for the birthday guy. If you want tea, go there to drink." Yanxi said: "It's too early to eat noodles, I just woke up Well." Yufen said: "Where can I rely on you? You just woke up, if you wake up at three o'clock, is that too early?" Yanxi couldn't be urged by her, so she had to follow her.It turned out that the rules of the Jin family, usually everyone eats in each courtyard, and when there are family banquets during festive and new year festivals, they eat in the big dining hall.Today was Yanxi's birthday, so everyone gathered in the dining hall again, even Feng Ju, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was also in the dining hall.As soon as everyone saw Yanxi, they laughed and said, "Ah! Mr. Shouxing is here." Yanxi forgot about it for a moment, raised her hands, and bowed to everyone.He said again and again: "Congratulations." Huichang said: "What's the matter? You congratulated us? What do we have to be happy about?" After saying this, everyone was happy.Aunt Cui was sitting next to the Huichang seat, she smiled softly and said, "This is a lottery, why don't you know?" Then she glanced at Pei Fang who was sitting next to her.He smiled and said, "Here are the two of you who can accept this sentence." Huichang laughed and said, "In the crowd, how can you say this? And it's not relevant." Seeing them pointing and joking, Pei Fang said, Yin asked: "What are you talking about me? This is also a small birthday hall, so don't make jokes." In her heart, she thought it was pointing at Feng Ju not talking to herself.Yufen was also afraid that she would be stiff, and it would be inconvenient for everyone.Then he laughed and said: "Our birthday presents have been given away, so it should be Shougong to entertain us in the afternoon. We have to ask Shougong to announce what we have?" Yanxi said: "It's still the same group of magic. But there are a few friends Sending a troupe of jugglers, or a few Kun troupe plays, I dare not agree." When he said that, Ke looked at Mrs. Jin.Mrs. Jin said: "It's just juggling, talkative and talkative, I'm afraid your father won't like it. It's nothing to sing a couple of literary plays for everyone's entertainment." Mom takes this responsibility." It turned out that Jin Quan was the only one not present in the dining room.Although Mrs. Jin agreed, did Jin Quan agree?Not yet known.So Yanxi said so.Mrs. Jin laughed and said, "What's the matter? Can't I be the master of what I say?" Everyone heard that the matter would be easier if the mother was the master, so they immediately started talking and laughing.Yufen said: "Is there any good singing in this Kunjiao? I want to listen to "Yutangchun"." Mei Li said: "What's the point of that? She knelt there and sang it, and it made people tired of hearing it. I watched a play last time, a girl pretended to be the young lady and became the wife of the champion. When the outsider saw someone, he called for a meal and asked him to persuade him to make peace. If he didn’t persuade him to make peace, he came when he said he would eat chicken shredded noodles. There is the old man who is the number one scholar, with a square painted face and a walking stick. And..." She was with the second concubine, and the second concubine said: "It's a mess, I've been making a fuss for a long time, and I don't know what to say? She What's more, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more confused you will be." Mrs. Jin said with a smile: "Don't call her nonsense, there is such a play. I heard it once somewhere, and it hurt my stomach from laughing. What is the name of that play, He Baozhu." The second aunt said: "It doesn't look like a play, but it looks like a person's name. Ask our play doctor to know." Yufen said: "What don't you know? It's called "He Zhu Pei"." Peifang was holding a fork of meat floss with her chopsticks to eat, so she lit Yufen with her chopsticks and said, "Look at her, she is a doctor of drama." At this time, Qiuxiang sent A plate of rose broad bean sauce came to the table.Seeing Peifang stretching out a chopstick of meat floss, she hurriedly took a sauce plate from the table, and went forward to continue.He smiled and said, "Thank you, young mistress, but we also have it on the table." At the time, everyone didn't think so, but after thinking that Qiuxiang had misunderstood, everyone burst into laughter.As a result, Qiuxiang was embarrassed and stood blankly among the crowd.Still Yufen smiled and said, "What are you doing standing here? You can't go there yet." Qiuxiang turned red with embarrassment, and had to leave with her head down.Feng Ju also laughed and said, "You don't need to listen to the funny show, it's a very good funny show." When Peifang heard that, she glanced at Feng Ju, but didn't say anything.Yanxi was very understanding, so she interjected, "Since everyone is willing to listen to a joke, I'll invite a few more clowns." Yufen said, "What's the point of that? Why don't you just invite the two of you to meet?" Let’s just listen to some of his plays quietly.” Mrs. Jin frowned and said, “It’s just that you can’t handle big things like this, and you just start messing around with small problems like sesame seeds before you solve them.” Yanxi laughed and said: "This should always be discussed first, and then what kind of play is decided, and what kind of clothes people can wear." Mrs. Jin said: "Now we are eating noodles, and it is not too late to discuss after eating noodles." Yanxi said: "It's true, hurry up and eat noodles. After eating noodles, come to my place for an emergency meeting. I will entertain anyone who is willing to attend." Peifang smiled and said: "Come on, isn't it a good role? You still have to do this Consider it solemnly. To put it bluntly, let our opera doctor do the drama promotion, and she can assign it. Whoever wants to listen to what opera, she must know, and she will do it if she assigns it well." Yufen said : "How easy is it to get a play? If you want to allocate a play, you should first know what role is there? What kind of play is he good at? And who can he play with? Where can we listen to any play we like, so we can order any play? Order it If they can't sing well, it's useless

So he turned around and went out, and came to Yufen.In Yufen's room, there is a whole room of people embracing, and the playlist has just been arranged.Looking back, Yufen saw Xiuzhu coming into the house, and said, "I think you should come." Xiuzhu smiled and said, "You think I should come, and I think you should show up." Saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked in.Peifang laughed and said, "Who made this ear report and told her the news?" Yufen said, "Then who else? It's not the birthday boy." It's troublesome, I picked up the birthday lady early, reaffirmed the family law and strictly controlled him, I think his quick talk may be cured." When he said, he deliberately rolled his eyes at Yufen in front of Xiuzhu.Xiuzhu pretended not to see or hear, but said to Huichang who was sitting on the side: "Why are you all here? Are you discussing something important?" Huichang said: "Just arranged the trick list. Soon After a while, the actor should come. But this play is not in vain, and I want to pray for my birthday. Did you pray for your birthday?" This sentence made Xiuzhu difficult to ask, if you want to say that you don't want to pray for your birthday?There is no such reason.What about birthday wishes?And a little embarrassed.But he only smiled and said: "A civilized family like yours, do you still need the ancient ceremony of birthday greetings?" Peifang continued: "Do you need it? That's the master's business. Worship or not? It's your guest It’s something you have to do.” Xiuzhu said: “Although I say that, but the master doesn’t like to pray for birthdays, he must do so, that’s called ignorance of current affairs, why should I be ignorant of current affairs?” Peifang stretched out her thumb and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuzhu, you really know how to say, I admire you." Xiuzhu was about to say something when the old lady came in and said, "The two young ladies from the Wu family are here. Where can you sit?" Peifang said, "Why don't you two?" Got it?" Yufen laughed and said, "She's also Lao Qi's good friend, shouldn't she come? Speaking of which, Lao Qi still has a girlfriend, I don't know if she will come or not?" Pei Fang tilted her head and thought: "Who is it?" Xiuzhu was very upset when she heard that, thinking that it must be the one whose surname is Leng.But Yufen replied: "Isn't there another Ms. Qiu? This person is very fond of studying movies. Once I talk to her about it, she won't finish it. Lao Qi is also a movie lover, so the two of them It's easy to talk to." Peifang said: "You're talking about her, she will definitely come. Because she is Misiwu's friend, Misiwu knows, and she will know." Huichang smiled and said: "I I think that one friend of the opposite sex is enough, but if you want more, it will be very troublesome. I don’t think Lao Qi has many girlfriends, as long as one is enough.” Peifang asked intentionally: “If there is only one, should Which one do you want?" Xiuzhu was teased by them so much that she didn't know what to do, and although it was inappropriate to answer, it was also inappropriate not to answer.Seeing this situation, Yufen smiled and said, "Stop making fun of him. He came to pay respects to your family's birthday, and you try your best to make a joke of him. Is this reasonable?" After speaking, everyone laughed.Xiuzhu said with a smile, "don't you push someone to entertain you when outsiders come?" Grandpa, let Qiye take care of you." Mom heard that when she went to meet the two Miss Wu in the small living room outside, it happened that Yanxi sent someone to invite her, so she didn't say anything.

When the two Miss Wu arrived at Yanxi's room, they saw that Yanxi was instructing a few servants to carry the sweet-scented osmanthus bonsai there.Miss Wu Er raised her snow-white arm across the corridor, raised it to the air, and said with a smile: "The birthday greetings are here, please go to the birthday hall, so we can salute." Yanxi nodded from a distance and said: "The birthday hall Is it? Let’s prepare it when I am 70 years old. Alas, the eldest lady is here too. I really dare not take it.” Miss Wu Er said with a smile: “So, if I don’t pay homage to my birthday, Laobu, dare to act again?" Yanxi smiled and said: "I have never been able to speak, do you still find it strange?" Miss Wu Er said: "I am just joking, don't be suspicious. How many customers are there today? Probably enough for Qiye to be busy all day." Yanxi said: "It's just people who are very familiar with each other talking together, so it can be said that there are no guests." Miss Wu Er said: "Is that Miss Leng coming too?" She Asking honestly, it was inconvenient for Yanxi to deny it, so she replied flatly: "She doesn't know, and probably won't come." Miss Wu asked: "Which Miss Leng? Is that what you told me last time? Why don't Qi Ye invite me here and let me see you too?" Yanxi said, "I can invite you for other things, how can I invite someone to pay my respects to my birthday?" He asked a question in return, and only then did he answer what the two young ladies of the Wu family asked. Prevaricate.The two of them sat in Yanxi's room for a while, and the male guests outside also came one after another.Yanxi invited the two Miss Wu to sit inside, and went outside to accompany the guests.Most of the male guests who came were teenagers, so there was naturally a lot of excitement.A birthday boy came in and out, Yanxi was extremely happy today.
