Chapter 174 Happy Birthday to you
...
Jiang Mianmian sat upright.
She had to sit straight, not lying down like Ge You.
She could see the stage from her position.
But it was blocked from the male guests.
During the banquet, men and women sat separately and entered different places.
There was a separate place for female relatives.
Today, only two people brought their families.
One was Mrs. Yu, the daughter-in-law of Lord Yu who also fought against the enemy and was recruited. She felt a little restrained because she had been excluded every day when she attended banquets before, and she was prepared for embarrassment.
But when she saw Mrs. Jiang for the first time, she felt like she had found a relative, as if she had found someone.
Another one was Lord He's family member.
She was a well-mannered woman, dressed very brightly.
Her husband was the host, and she knew it very well, so her smile was very sincere.
Because there are no other female relatives, it is simple with just these few people.
Madam He came in and found that the inner house of the Jiang family was not messy at all, but in order.
Of course, the Jiang family was originally simple in population, with no concubines, only Madam Jiang and three children.
The eldest daughter is already married and still lives in her parents' home.
This is also a point of criticism. People
think that Sima Jiang is just a mud-legged person with no rules.
But what is puzzling is that the Meng family actually agreed.
Everyone thinks that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family must be a beautiful figure who is like a disaster that can move a country or a city.
Otherwise, it is easy to seduce the young general from the capital, the young general who has been the only son for several generations, but he would rather stay and ask to marry him.
With Sima Jiang's appearance, you can imagine the appearance of his daughter.
It's really beauty that kills people.
There are already several legends about the story of how General Meng tried to recruit rebels but was seduced by the rebels' daughter and asked to marry her.
In any case, in everyone's mind, Madam Meng, the eldest daughter of Sima Jiang, must be a scheming and extraordinary girl.
Those families who teach their daughters to fight at home have already put this in their case books and emphasized it.
Especially those girls who are going to get married.
Jiang Yu was busy as she prepared the banquet meals carefully. She
had no idea that her reputation had been demonized.
Not only in the prefectural city, but also in the capital, there were legends about her.
In the mouths of the people, she was as charming as Daji, who seduced General Meng so much that he lost his soul and refused to go home.
Today's banquet is said to be hosted by the eldest daughter.
As a result, this added another mysterious point to Jiang Yu.
Madam Yu was envious of the cleanliness of the inner house when she arrived.
After her husband accepted the amnesty and arrived in the capital, he actually took a concubine. He
would take the concubine with him when he went out to socialize, which was not usually the case for her, the legitimate wife.
She also often went out to make jokes and didn't like to go out.
But today, when she came to Madam Jiang's place, she unexpectedly felt comfortable and at ease.
So Madam Yu revealed a little bit of her true nature...
"Yes, yes, yes, the chicks need to have their butts curled up, so that they can lay eggs in the future."
"Lemongrass can be eaten, really, you pinch the tenderest part, rinse it with water, and eat it to relieve constipation."
Jiang Mianmian sat at a table and listened obediently, and her strange knowledge increased again.
She looked at Madam Yu with admiration and pushed the snacks in front of Madam Yu. She knew a lot.
Madam He looked at the free-spirited Madam Yu and the steady Madam Jiang. They were different people.
She had been to the backyard of the Yu family. It was a mess.
The concubine lived in the main house and the legitimate wife lived in the side room. Madam Yu gave birth to three daughters. Now these three daughters actually had to set rules in front of the concubine. The eldest daughter was already of marriageable age, but was actually taken out by the noble concubine to meet.
Anyway, Madam Yu's family affairs were already a joke in the city.
Now that she had come to the Jiang family, I wonder if she would become a new joke.
However, Madam He and Madam Yu had not seen the legendary beautiful and charming girl like Daji, but the little girl in front of them looked like a copy of Lord Sima.
Although she was still young, she could already foresee the appearance of Qingguo Qingcheng.
She doesn't look like a sissy. She is cheerful and a little chubby. You can tell at first glance that she is the kind of child who is loved by her parents and grew up in a family with no worries about food and clothing. She has a straight look and is very generous.
She doesn't shy away from people, nor does she shrink. She is very generous. She
somehow has the demeanor of a superior. Mrs.
He would feel a little uncomfortable when this little girl looked at her.
But Mrs. Yu didn't notice it and happily ate the snacks she pushed to her. There was a
"dong" sound. Mianmian's dance troupe came on stage. Mianmian has been very busy recently. She took Pang Ya to tease the members of her own dance troupe. First of all, they must wear the same clothes. If a group of people wear the same clothes and sing in chorus, the visual effect will be better. She originally wanted to wear cheongsam. When she drew the clothes and was about to have them made, her mother chased her around the house with a rolling pin. She was eventually caught and beaten. Then she was forced to change her mindset. It seemed that her brother's birthday couldn't be anything but serious. She still had to do something serious. Exposing breasts and legs was a bit inappropriate for children. So she decided on a uniform navy blue robe. It was tightly wrapped from head to toe. It wasn't see-through.
Very serious.
And the clothes are relatively simple, so they can be finished in time. If it is a cheongsam, it will be too late.
The curtain opened.
Everyone saw a stage with nine people sitting on it.
They were dressed solemnly, as if it was a Dharma assembly.
I don't know what they were doing.
Then they started to sing in unison:
"Happy birthday to you, dong~~~"
"Happy birthday to you, ton~~~"
They sang and played.
There were erhu, huqin, wooden fish and copper bells.
The singing seemed to have merit.
It didn't seem like a birthday celebration, but a grand Dharma assembly, solemn and dignified.
I heard that at that time, a filial son wiped his tears and wanted to celebrate the third anniversary of his mother's death. He invited this group of people to perform a ceremony and also wanted to sing this song, which was open and bright.
Jiang Changtian... the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He knew that this was the birthday gift given to Feng'er by the young lady, and she was mysteriously told to keep it a secret.
In order to prepare for this birthday gift, the young lady had been beaten by her mother, and she cried heartbreakingly. She came to him and secretly complained several times.
But at home, he had to listen to Xia Mei.
The result was like this.
It's hard to comment.
This sounds like a happy birthday, but the tone and rhythm feel like a happy first seven days of mourning?
It feels like the soul has returned to its hometown and rested in peace.
It makes people feel like giving gifts after hearing it.
Jiang Feng's eyes welled up with tears.
He knew that his sister must be from the same place as him.
This was their unique link.
The songs his sister liked were so mysterious.
At the beginning, the old woman hit the drum, and with a thump, he seemed to see a hand trembling out of the soil.
This song was very peaceful and relaxing to listen to.
This was a song that was unique to him.
He felt very good.
Happy birthday.
He would request this song on every birthday in the future.
