Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at Xiaoman's back, smiled helplessly, and shrugged: "Go back and rest."
Mu Yexiao hummed, then turned around to look at the old butler who was still serving him: "Butler, go check if there are any fun places in Suzhou."
"Ask about all the delicious and interesting things. Now that you are here, you should have fun."
The old butler bowed and said, "I know, Master, please rest assured."
After resting for a day in the inn, everyone's spirits were restored. Since this was an independent courtyard, it naturally had an independent kitchen, so they prepared meals for Qian Jiujiu and others.
I took care of everything myself, which was much safer. The next morning, the old housekeeper came to Mu Yexiao, who had just finished breakfast with Qian Jiujiu.
Looking at the old butler who came over, Qian Jiujiu spoke up: "Butler, how did you find out?"
The butler replied respectfully, "Master, I have heard that the largest garden in Suzhou is called Bi'an Garden. I heard that it is magnificent and has beautiful scenery."
"In addition, the most famous food in Suzhou is a restaurant called Shiweitian. In addition, there is a flower-fighting competition recently, which should be very interesting. I heard that flower-fighting competitions have been held in Suzhou since ancient times."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the housekeeper curiously: "What is flower fighting? See which flower is more beautiful, and then have a competition. The one with the most beautiful flower will take first place?"
The old housekeeper nodded and said, "Yes, Master, you are really smart. I heard that this flower show is an annual event in Suzhou. As long as everyone has beautiful flowers at home, they will sign up for the flower show."
"Whoever wins first place will naturally be rewarded."
After hearing this, Qian Jiujiu became really interested and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Then let's go and take a look. Maybe something interesting will happen."
Mu Yexiao laughed: "Since you want to go, then go. Do you want to sign up?"
Before Qian Jiujiu could answer, the old housekeeper spoke up: "Master, the registration has closed. Registration will not be allowed for the first month. Speaking of which, the flower show will be held in three days."
"It will be very lively then. If you want to go in, you must have an invitation."
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that this was just an action of a rich man?"
The old housekeeper shook his head: "That's not the case. It's not just for the rich. Many flowers are also signed up by poor families. It is said that they are dug from the mountains."
"In addition to the invitation, the condition for entering this flower show is that you must be a participant in the flower show."
Mu Yexiao said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Then I'll leave the invitation matter to you. We're going to the Flower Fighting Fair in three days."
After finishing speaking, Mu Yexiao turned around and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiuer, where are we going today? Bi'an Garden? Or Food for Heaven?"
Qian Jiujiu thought for a moment and looked at the others beside him: "Dad, Mom, Mother, where do you want to go?"
No one answered, they just looked at the two children and said, "Wherever the children go, we will go."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu noticed that the battle among these three people for the children seemed to have escalated, and now they were ready to follow the two children closely.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Nannanbeibei and said, "Nannanbeibei, do you want to go see some beautiful places? Or do you want to eat some delicious food?"
Beibei thought for a moment before speaking: "I want both. Can I go to both?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "Yes, we are all going, but where should we go first?"
"Let's go see something nice first, and then eat something delicious, okay, mother?"
Without thinking, Qian Jiujiu listened to Bei Bei's words and nodded: "Okay, while it's still early, let's go to Bi'an Garden."
"Look at what this Bi'an Garden looks like?"
After making the decision, the group set off. This time they only used a large carriage. Everyone was inside the carriage, but no one spoke. It was very quiet.
Qian Jiujiu was a little unaccustomed to this atmosphere. She looked at Mu Yexiao, then at Xiaoman, and then she saw that they were both looking at the Queen Mother, Wanyin and others. Qian Jiujiu also looked over.
Only then did I realize that the three people's eyes were on the two children. After the two children got on the carriage, they did not ask anyone to hold them, but sat by themselves with the windows open.
They secretly pulled the curtain to look outside, and did not forget to discuss: "Sister, look, there are so many people outside."
As expected, Qian Jiujiu and the others were also quite presentable. It was very lively outside, with all kinds of voices: "Selling candied haws, selling cotton candy..."
The two children listened to the voice and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Mom, can we have a string of candied haws?"
Qian Jiujiu raised an eyebrow and shook her head: "No, you have been eating too much candy recently. Your teeth will hurt in the future and they will get worms."
These two days, the three elderly people have been feeding the child all the time. Qian Jiujiu has actually wanted to say it for a long time. Now that she finally has the chance, she naturally refused directly.
Mu Yexiao had no objection to this, but the two children were unhappy. They had become accustomed to their pampering in the past few days and felt that they were the center of the world.
What he said was what he meant. Now that he was resisted, Beibei's eyes were filled with tears: "Mother, you are not good at all."
Qian Jiujiu immediately got angry: "Do you have the guts to say it again? Not letting you eat candied haws is not good, right? What if I beat you up?"
Beibei suddenly felt even more aggrieved, and threw herself into the Queen Mother's arms: "Grandma, you see, mother doesn't like Beibei anymore, and mother is mean to Beibei and wants to beat Beibei."
Hearing Beibei complaining in front of her, Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt like crying and laughing, but the Queen Mother felt so distressed that she looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Okay."
"The child just wants to eat a string of candied haws. Do you have to be so harsh? Okay, Beibei, don't cry. Mommy won't let you eat it, but grandma will. Stop the car and go buy two strings of candied haws."
Qian Jiujiu was so angry that she looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, the two children have eaten too much candy recently. They will have toothaches. It's not good for their teeth."
The Queen Mother frowned: "Are you dissatisfied with me raising the child? When your parents were raising the child, why didn't you tell them that eating too much candy is bad for teeth?"
Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt crazy. Is the Queen Mother addicted to protecting her children? Why does she bite anyone she catches? Really, Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes around, feeling like she didn't know what to say.
Xiaoman's face became more and more excited, and she kept shouting in her heart: Let's do it, let's do it, the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is just around the corner.
Mu Yexiao coughed twice and looked at the Queen Mother: "Mother, Jiuer didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand, Nanbeibei has indeed eaten too much candy in the past two days."
The Queen Mother frowned: "You also dislike me for not being able to raise a child well, don't you?"
Actually, the Queen Mother had had this idea in mind since Qian Jiujiu asked the two children to stay on Mingyue Island during the war. She had held back before.
Now seeing how close Wanyin and her child were, she couldn't compare to them at all, so she burst out naturally. Qian Jiujiu was really speechless.
I have never felt that the Queen Mother is so difficult to deal with. Is she really the type who bites whoever she catches? Taking the Queen Mother out for a trip was supposed to make her feel good, so why do I feel like I am putting the cart before the horse now
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she realized that the carriage had not stopped at all. She was so angry that she almost fumed: "My words are useless, right?"
The sound was so loud that the coachman outside the carriage finally heard it and stopped the carriage. The Queen Mother was about to get off with the child. Qian Jiujiu looked very unhappy.
This is not the way to pamper a child. She glared at Nanbei, Nanbei and Beibei. Beibei received the look from his mother and suddenly became timid and looked at the empress dowager.
I didn't dare to get off the car. At this time, Beibei seemed to know it, because she seemed to have triggered a bad war? Qian Jiujiu looked at Beibei with a face that said "I am very cowardly".
I was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. I thought this kid was fearless! It turns out he can be afraid sometimes. I glared at Beibei and was just about to speak.
Then I heard the Queen Mother say: "Why are you glaring at the child? If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me. What do you want to do?"
Qian Jiujiu took a deep breath, wondering if the Queen Mother had reached menopause, and looked at her: "Mother, are you feeling unwell? How about Jiuer taking your pulse?"
Xiaoman burst out laughing instantly, because she understood what Qian Jiujiu meant. Well, the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is about to reach its climax. Just when Xiaoman laughed, everyone looked at Xiaoman.
The Queen Mother looked at Xiaoman with dissatisfaction: "Xiaoman, if there is anything funny, tell me so that I can laugh too."
Xiaoman's expression was petrified instantly, and she agreed at this time that the Queen Mother really needed to take care of herself, as she was in menopause. Of course, she thought so in her heart.
But she couldn't say it, she could only smile awkwardly: "Madam, Xiaoman is not laughing, she just wanted to sneeze, but she didn't sneeze, so..."
Hearing this explanation, Qian Jiujiu glanced at Xiaoman with a sidelong look in her eyes, gloating, "You deserve it, I'll let you watch the show!" The Queen Mother seemed to believe Xiaoman's explanation.
He ignored Xiaoman and just glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "Come on, I'll take you to buy candied haws."
Qian Jiujiu frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Yexiao's eyes. Qian Jiujiu sat in the carriage a little depressed. Looking at Qian Jiujiu, she felt a little depressed.
Wanyin frowned and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiuer, will Nannanbeibei really have a toothache after eating this candied haws?"
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched: "Mom, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant, I just think the two children have eaten too much sugar recently, it's better to eat less."
"It doesn't mean that eating this candied haws will cause toothache."
Qian Jiujiu finally felt the deep generation gap at this time...
