046 Birthday feast

  Nangong Yue is deliberately using this incident to show her ability in front of Lin Shi. She does not want to be treated as a child by her mother all the time, she wants her mother to trust herself more ...... Then when there is something big happens in the future, her mother will not deliberately hide it from her because of her young age.

  Lin Shi was silent; she knew her daughter was right. But when she thought that her daughter is only nine years old, she was forced to grow up, forced to understand things, forced to be strong ...... all because her this useless mother. If it hadn't been for her own uselessness, why would her daughter have to be like this! Why should have to be like this!

  Lin Shi's gaze closed and a rare determination appeared in her usual soft eyes. Being a mother makes her stronger, and for the sake of her children, she had to work harder too!

    After a few more moments of mother-daughter bonding, Lin Shi left.

    Que'er had been guarding outside Nangong Yue's room for a long time. As soon as she saw Lin Shi leave, she entered the room and reported: "Miss San, this afternoon, Miss Su Biao, she met the Fourth Master by chance in the back garden... Miss Su Biao's maid Liu Rong was guarding at the entrance of the garden, so the servant girl didn't dare to get too close." 

  On hearing this, Nangong Yue could not help but smile coldly.She knew that this woman Su Qingping would never be an easy one to take care of. Fourth Uncle Nangong Cheng had already come of age and had moved out of the inner house long ago. Su Qingping must not have found it easy to "run into" her fourth uncle, so she must have used some tactics.

Nangong Yue rewarded Que’er with a beaded flower and instructed, "Que’er, you have done a good job. Continue to watch at Miss Su Biao and if she does anything unusual, come back and tell me." Que’er thanked her respectfully for the reward, answered "Yes", and then withdrew.

   Nangong Yue was left alone in the room again. She sat quietly on the bed and thought of her fourth uncle, and also of Qin'er, the concubine of her fourth uncle. Although she didn't know much about her fourth uncle in this life, she remembered that in her previous life, he was an amorous man, and almost all the maids in his courtyard who had a few good looks had been approached by him. After he got married, he even became a flirtatious seed, only pitying her that fourth aunt......

   Nangong Yue secretly pondered, and a certain possibility emerged in her mind: Could it be that the first person Su Qingping targeted in her previous life was not actually her own father, but fourth Uncle Nangong Cheng?

    Based on the personalities of these two people and the current development trend, it seems very possible.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yue was suddenly shocked to realise that in her previous life, she had missed so much because she had been lingering sick for a few months.

    ****

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Today was Su Shi's birthday, and extra money was given to all the servants in the house early in the morning, so the whole Nangong Mansion was overjoyed and thanked the Lao Furen for her kindness. The Guniangs were given three days off from their studies, so that they could take time off from their busy schedules.

    Early in the morning, people from Dafang, Erfang, Sanfang and Sifang, as well as Su Qingping, they all went to the main hall to give birthday greetings to Su Shi. Even Huang Shi, who had been sentenced to confinement, was released today, but her voice was still hoarse. It was heard that she had recited the female commandments under the veranda all night that day, and by the next day her voice was so hoarse that she could barely speak.

  As soon as Huang Shi saw Nangong Yue and Lin Shi, her eyes erupted with a strong resentment, but she also knew that today was Su Shi's birthday, so if she made a scene, that would be the end of her, so she could only meekly half-lower her eyes and stare deadly at her own toes.

  The children and grandchildren, starting with the (Dafang) Eldest household, congratulate Su Shi one by one.

    "May my mother (grandmother) be blessed with long flowing water like the East Sea and live longer than the ageless pines of the South Mountain."

Everyone was kowtowing and hand-delivering their own carefully prepared birthday gifts of various colours: a Longevity of the Eight Immortals Painting, Hundred Years of Life Embroidery, a dotted emerald embroidered wipe( forehead band), a argarwood ...... Even Nangong Xin gave the God of longevity picture he personally painted. When it was Nangong Yue's turn, she gave a birthday gift that was not quite the same as everyone else's - a pair of knee pads.

  "This is ......" Su Shi was slightly moved and looked at Nangong Yue a little differently.

"Grandmother, this is granddaughter's handmade knee pads for you. Granddaughter has specially put herbs for rheumatism in it hoping it will help Grandmother." The knee pads were said to be handmade, but in fact she had only moved her lips, An Niang had helped with the cutting and Yimei had helped with the sewing and embroidery. Only the herbs in them were actually handmade by her which would indeed be very beneficial to Su Shi's rheumatism.

" Yue Jie'er really is thoughtful!" Su Shi couldn't help but be delighted and praised without hesitation and also attracting some envious or cynical or disdainful or shocked glances for Nangong Yue.

Following this, the Sanfang and Si fang (third household and fourth) also gave Su Shi their birthday wishes and gifts, and finally it was Su Qingping's turn. Su Qingping had obviously dressed up carefully, took out her best clothes and jewellery. Since she didn't have much jewelry, she had simply chosen the one that suited her best, a gold butterfly flower pendant dangling from her ear, the string of beads swaying slightly as she walked while looking both elegant and pretty.

  But her face looked unnatural, and the smile at the corner of her mouth looked like it was forced. But she immediately adjusted her mood, and when she raised her eyes again, she was smiling freely.

  "Qingping wishes her Da Gumu a long and prosperous life as three thousand years of peach*.(A long life of pine and a thousand years of peach.)" Su Qingping respectfully bowed to Su Shi and her maid Liu Rong helped her to present the birthday gift, "Qingping saw Da Gumu suffering from rheumatism a few days ago, she thought of the same thing as Yue Jie’er, and prepared a pair of knee pads for Da Gumu. Although they are not as well thought out as Yue jie’er, Da Gumu should not dislike Qingping." From the outside, the knee pads she had made were much nicer and more delicate than Nangong Yue's pair, with a wonderfully embroidered picture of a peach on a dark green silk cloth, edged in azure and lined with warm rabbit fur.

    It's just that Nangong Yue presented the gift before and deliberately added herbs to the knee pads that it seemed more thoughtful and a little more out of the ordinary.

  So this time Su Shi was not flattered, but ordered Wang mama to accept the birthday gift and said with a smile: "Qingping, you are also thoughtful."

  Su Qingping twisted her handkerchief and retreated to the side somewhat reluctantly.

  Not long after, a pozi came rushing to report that Su Shi's eldest daughter, Nangong Yun, had arrived at the gate with her husband Bai Yuxuan and daughter Bai Muxiao; not half an incense stick later, Su Shi's concubine daughter, Nangong Shuang, had also arrived at Rong'anTang with her husband and a son and daughter ......Looking at the room full of children and grandchildren, even Su Shi, who normally does not smile, could not help but smiling so much that her eyes were narrowed in relief.

  After offering their wishes for birthday, the men from each house and the two guye(son-in-law) left the inner courtyard and went to the banquet seat in the outer courtyard together, except for Nangong Xin who went back to the Qianyun yuan. Over the years, Lin Shi has been very protective of Nangong Xin, rarely letting him show up in front of outsiders, lest he be hurt by gossip. And Su Shi, moreover, is eager to prevent this retarded grandson from coming out to meet people.

  The ladies stayed in the main hall, talking to each other and chatting about family matters, and it was a very lively time.

A short time later, a pozi came to inform us that a certain family had sent congratulatory gifts ...... A few moments later, two other families also sent congratulatory gifts.

Notes:

These are two classical couplets for the celebration of longevity, both for the age of forty. In the first line, not confused is the pronoun for forty years of age, and to know heaven means to know the year of heavenly destiny, which is fifty years of age.

This line means: from now on it is forty years old, and there are still ten years to go before it is fifty. The second sentence is an exaggerated, anthropomorphic wish for longevity, and a good wish for three thousand years. The second line is an exaggerated, metaphorical wish for longevity.
