Chapter 1010: Colorful Clothes to Entertain Parents
Daohua finally found out about the An family's affairs. After finding out, she became even more disgusted with the An family.
Guyu said disdainfully: "The An family is the eldest prince's in-laws after all, yet they act in such a shameful way!" They actually let their own daughter seduce a man from another family in their own home. How shameless.
Daohua was not very angry, but she felt a little uncomfortable because the woman outside was always thinking about her husband. It was like a fly buzzing in front of her. Although it did not cause any actual harm, it was annoying.
However, she really couldn't avoid this kind of thing.
Xiao Yeyang was in a high position at a young age and was also good-looking. Most women of this era pinned all their hopes of living a good life on marrying a "good man", so it was normal for Xiao Yeyang to be remembered.
"From now on, any posts sent by the An family will be directly rejected!"
Because of the eldest prince in the capital and Concubine An, Daohua originally didn't want to break up with the An family, but now they are getting too arrogant, and she is too lazy to maintain this face anymore.
You can ignore An's family, but you can't ignore Xiao Moqing.
November 22nd is Gu Jian’s birthday. Although the palace will not hold a grand celebration, several of the emperor’s grandchildren will come to the palace to celebrate Gu Jian’s birthday.
The people from the An and Du families naturally would not miss this opportunity. They wanted to visit Gu Jian at the palace under the pretext of celebrating his birthday.
Neither Daohua nor Xiao Yeyang could refuse.
On the day of Gu Jian's birthday, Daozi got up early and ran to the main room to find Daohua: "Mom, have you finished the doll costumes for me and my fourth brother?"
Daohua smiled at her son and said, "It's already been prepared. Have you and Morong finished rehearsing?"
Daozi nodded straight: "We've finished rehearsing. Where's the puppet costume?"
Seeing his son's impatient look, Daohua smiled and asked Guyu to take him to get it.
As soon as the little guy left, Xiao Yeyang asked curiously, "What doll costume?"
Daohua smiled and said, "Today is Master's birthday. Daozi and Morong are planning to put on a show for him."
Xiao Yeyang became interested: "What show?"
Daohua smiled and said, "I was just telling my son a fable. When we got to the tortoise and the hare race, the little guy said he wanted to act it out for Master. He was the tortoise and Morong was the hare."
Xiao Yeyang: “.”
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's indescribable expression, Daohua laughed: "After all, it's the children's sincere efforts. No matter how the performance turns out, we should support it."
Come to the funeral home.
Xiao Morong looked at the rabbit doll costume in front of him, feeling eager to try it but also hesitant.
Do I really want to wear this to Nanshan Hall?
It feels so weird!
While Xiao Morong was hesitating, Daozi had already put on his turtle doll costume swiftly.
The green plush little turtle, coupled with Daozi's cute expression, instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the yard.
"Fourth brother, take a quick look, do I look like a little turtle?"
Daozi, wearing a turtle costume, ran happily around Xiao Moleng, occasionally shaking her butt to show off.
When Xiao Morong saw this, he wanted to laugh, but he put aside his hesitation and put on the rabbit costume.
"Wow, fourth brother, you look like a rabbit!"
Xiao Morong: “.”
Daozi was anxious to show off to Gu Jian, and quickly pulled Xiao Moleng out of the yard.
Theater.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang first met the guests who came to celebrate the birthday in the main courtyard. After all the guests arrived, they took them to the theater to meet Gu Jian, who was watching Daozi and Mo Rong's performance.
As soon as everyone reached the gate of the courtyard, they heard cheers coming from inside.
When I entered the yard, I saw a little green turtle on the stage crawling forward slowly step by step. In front of it, there was a white rabbit hopping forward.
There are many animals around, including lions, tigers, monkeys, wolves, black bears, etc. The cheers came from their mouths.
Under the stage, Gu Jian sat on a chair, watching the performance in the yard, his eyes almost filled with laughter.
"The turtle is rice!"
"White Rabbit is the fourth brother!"
Xiao Moqing and others who followed over immediately recognized Daozi and Xiao Morong who were performing hard.
Seeing so many people coming into the yard, Xiao Morong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Before, in order to make Gu Jian laugh, his actions were extremely exaggerated, but now with so many people watching him, he felt a little embarrassed.
Xiao Moleng was stunned, which gave Daozi an opportunity. It used its hands and feet to crawl forward quickly and soon caught up with Xiao Moleng.
The outcome of the tortoise and the hare race was that the white rabbit lost to the tortoise. Xiao Morong simply slowed down and let the rice overtake him.
Seeing that their son and Morong were still performing, Daohua and Xiao Morong brought everyone to the stage. They did not immediately introduce everyone to Gu Jian, but watched from where they were.
The others also looked at the stage curiously.
They often listened to operas, but the performances on the stage were obviously different from what they usually watched. In addition, since it was performed by the son of King Weiyuan and the eldest son of the Fourth Prince, they became even more interested.
Daohua made sufficient preparations for her son's performance. She also took the scene layout into consideration and decorated the stage to look like a forest.
“I win, I win!”
When it reached the end, Daozi stood up, jumping and shouting with laughter.
The 'animals' around immediately praised it in various ways.
Daozi swiftly jumped off the stage and ran to Gu Jian: "Grandfather, do you like the birthday gift that my fourth brother and I gave you?"
Gu Jian smiled and stroked Daozi's turtle head: "I like it. This gift from you and Mo Rong is the most favorite for the old ancestor."
Hearing this, the expressions of the An and Du families in the crowd fluctuated.
The gifts prepared by these families were all jade ornaments. They were valuable, but in terms of the thoughtfulness, they were indeed lacking.
At this time, Xiao Moqing ran to Daozi's side and stared at the turtle suit on him with curiosity: "Moxi, you are so mean. You didn't invite us to play with such a fun thing, and only played with Fourth Brother."
Xiao Mobao also came over. He was also very interested in this turtle suit: "That's right, why didn't you invite us?"
The youngest, Xiao Moxu, also squeezed over and pulled the rice: "Brother Moxi, I want some too."
Daozi straightened her small body and said, "Hey, don't panic, I have prepared a share for you. I have many, many stories here. We will perform them next time."
"Come on, I'll take you to pick out doll costumes."
Watching Daozi taking Xiao Moqing and the others away, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang smiled and introduced the guests to Gu Jian.
Just as everyone was smiling and complimenting Gu Jian, not long after, a group of "animals" came over in a proud and heroic manner, and then knelt in front of Gu Jian in an orderly manner.
"Mo Rong, Mo Kuan, Mo Qing. I wish our ancestors blessings as vast as the flowing waters of the East China Sea, and a longevity as long as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains."
Gu Jian, who had not smiled much in front of other guests, now smiled and glanced at Dongli. Then he saw Dongli took out a wooden box with six identical ebony Guanyin statues in it.
Gu Jian took it and personally put it on Xiao Morong and others, asking them to wear it to ward off evil spirits.
When others saw this, they immediately praised Xiao Morong and his friends for their excellent filial piety.
