Chapter 534 The Eve of the Birthday Banquet
Song Yu was giving acupuncture to Du Ye in her room at this moment.
"Sister Yu, can this acupuncture method really effectively prevent stroke? I haven't felt anything for the past two days."
Song Yu nodded. "It's very effective. It can be seen in the pulse. It was Grandpa Lu who taught me this. I do it twice a month, three days each time. I'll go back and give acupuncture to my grandmother at the end of the month."
Du Ye asked tentatively, "Then you can stay at home for three days while the acupuncture is being performed, right?"
Song Yu didn't want to go back and wanted his grandmother to live in Prince Rong's mansion for a long time.
But my grandmother clearly said that she was the head lady of the Du family and could only come as a guest occasionally.
"Okay, but I need to tell my parents that if they don't agree to let me stay overnight, I'll come back during the day to accompany you."
"Okay, okay." Du Ye was very happy. It was better for Sister Yu to come back at the end or beginning of each month than not seeing her for a whole month.
After dinner, Song Yu accompanied Du Ye and went to Fenghuangtai. He told the couple the truth that he would return to the Du Mansion at the end of the next month or the beginning of the next month to give Du Ye acupuncture.
"Dad has only one request: you are not allowed to stay overnight unless there are special circumstances."
"Okay, Daddy, I'm going back." Song Yu said and turned around and left.
Daddy’s birthday is the day after tomorrow, so she has to hurry and finish the album.
Mu Mansion.
"Brother, the embroidery shop will deliver the clothes tomorrow. No matter how busy you are, you must come back tomorrow to try them on. You must wear your best clothes to attend my uncle's birthday party. This is related to whether Sister Yu can become my sister-in-law. Don't make any mistakes."
"Qing'er." Xiao Zhenshu stood up from the recliner. "You're even more worried about your eldest brother's marriage than mother is. Have you forgotten that you're still a girl waiting to be married? You have to pick out a nice dress tomorrow. We'll also have to discuss your marriage to Little Master Jiang with the Jiang family on the day of your birthday banquet."
Hearing this, Mu Chuqing's face turned slightly red.
"... Come back to your room with mother now. I just got a set of rouge and powder. It's evening now and you need to wash your face, so I'll do a few more makeup looks for you. Whichever look you like, you can wear that look for your birthday party."
"Mom, let's draw during the day. It's so late."
"It's not too late. It's only getting dark today. Let's go!"
Xiao Zhenshu pulled Mu Chuqing out. Mu Chuqing couldn't break free, so he could only loudly warn him, "Brother, you are not allowed to go to the Dali Temple tomorrow morning. You must stay at home and try on clothes, otherwise I will have the clothes sent to the Dali Temple."
"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you."
Mu Jingxing came to the bronze mirror and looked at his face carefully.
To be honest, he was starting to get nervous at this moment.
I wonder if my uncle will agree to my birthday party?
If he doesn't agree, he will ask his grandfather to arrange a marriage.
Uncle won’t disobey my order, right?
The next day, the embroidery building delivered thirty-six sets of gorgeous clothes tailored for Mu Jingxing. They were colorful and very beautiful.
Not only that, there are also thirty-six pairs of beautiful new boots, thirty-six hair crowns, thirty-six jade pendants, headbands, belts and other basic items that can be worn on the body.
Mu Jingxing spent the entire morning trying on the clothes under Mu Chuqing's supervision.
Mu Chuqing felt that each set was a little lacking and not perfect.
But in the eyes of the servants, every outfit Mu Jingxing wore was stunning.
"Brother, just put some lip balm on it and it will be perfect."
Mu Jingxing looked at the lip balm that was suddenly so close to him and quickly pushed it away, "No, I'm a man, how can I put on lip balm?"
Mu Chuqing looked at Mu Jingxing's lips, which looked exactly like her mother's, and blinked, "Does mother look good with lip balm on?"
"W-what? Oh, it looks good."
"Your lips will look as beautiful with lip balm as mother's. Sister Yu told me that mother is beautiful, especially when her lips are smeared with lip balm, she looks like a fairy aunt. If sister Yu sees you with lip balm on, she will think you are a fairy brother and like you more."
Mu Jingxing looked at her suspiciously, "Did she really say that mother is like a fairy aunt?"
Mu Chuqing's smile deepened. "Of course. Come and apply it. Let me take a look first."
Mu Chuqing didn't wait for his response. Seeing that he was sitting as steady as a mountain, she started applying the makeup directly.
Seeing the bright smile on her face, Mu Jingxing felt that she was holding back a big move.
When the lip balm was about to touch him, he hurriedly pinched Mu Chuqing's hand and said, "Even without lip balm, I am still Sister Yu's immortal brother."
"So confident?"
"What else?"
"Hey, we said you were the most handsome man in the capital, did you really believe it?"
Mu Jingxing curled his lips, "Brother said that you are extremely beautiful, you don't really believe it, do you?"
"Don't I look stunningly beautiful?" Mu Chuqing stared at Mu Jingxing.
If the eldest brother dares to say no, she will make him pay!
"you guess."
Mu Chuqing: ...
"Humph, big brother, you are not honest!"
Soon, the brother and sister were playing a chase around the table.
Jiang Mansion
"Yingying, tomorrow is the young prince's birthday banquet. Have you chosen the birthday gift?"
Feng Yingying said, "I chose it a few days ago. I made sure it wouldn't bring shame to our Jiang Mansion."
Madam Jiang continued, "Tomorrow our whole family will go. Oh, by the way, Shushu is still in confinement after giving birth. Send someone to inform him and his sister to stay at the mansion tonight, and then go to Prince Rong's mansion together tomorrow morning."
Feng Yingying: "Shu Ge'er and Meng'er are worried about Shu Shu, so they won't come over tonight. I'll send someone to pick them up early tomorrow morning."
Madam Jiang: "Is Cheng Xiao still alive?"
"She is still alive, but now she can't sit still, so she has to lie on the bed. There are no maids around her, only Yu is waiting on her."
Madam Jiang: "Is she willing to serve?"
"I'm quite willing to serve, and I'm pretty good at it, but Cheng Xiao has a bad temper, so I'm not sure if Mrs. Yu can continue to serve patiently."
"And their youngest son?"
"Shushu didn't make things difficult for him for now. He was still too young. Shushu said that he would be raised as a slave first, and when he grew up a little, he would be allowed to have a taste of Shuge's life. But Yu Qingyao couldn't stand the life of a slave and tried to commit suicide three times, but was rescued each time by Shushu. Shushu gave her younger brother to her to take care of, and she finally calmed down. Her older brother, who was being raised outside, was discovered going to the Yu Mansion a few days ago."
Madam Jiang's face darkened. "Cheng Xiao actually has an eldest son! This is really infuriating!"
"Don't be angry, Mom. Shushu has someone secretly watching him, hoping that he won't be able to pursue a career in government."
Madam Jiang took a few deep breaths and asked, "Where's Old Lady Cheng?"
"She is paralyzed on one side and is now being taken care of by Nanny Niu alone. You'll see, after a while no one will be willing to serve her. There is no filial son for a sick bed, especially since she is just a servant."
"What an unlucky family! How unlucky it is for Shushu to live in the same mansion with them and her three children! What if the little grandson, who is not even full-term, gets caught in bad luck?"
Feng Yingying: "I can't reach her. She's too far away. Let Shushu vent her anger first. Once she's vented enough, she won't want to waste any more time."
"I think it's very dangerous. She might have to fight with the Cheng family for the rest of her life for the sake of her children's future."
Feng Yingying: "Mom, don't worry. Everything depends on human effort. When Shushu is out of confinement, I will take her out for walks. Maybe she will meet someone who truly loves her, and then Shushu will think about leaving the Cheng family."
Madam Jiang smiled. "Yes, that's a good idea. Let's do it this way. Okay, go back and go to bed early. Go to Prince Rong's mansion early tomorrow."
