After returning from the banquet, both Shen Xiurong and Jiang Cuicui went to Liu Qiqiao’s Tingxiang Xiaozhu. Liu Qiqiao has many family members. The courtyard suddenly became very lively, and Lanxiang suddenly became busy. When she got up, she was originally Mrs. Shen's side. She knew a lot and had the ability. It was Mrs. Shen who saw that Liu Qiqiao had no individual with her, so she sent Lan Xiang to her.
Lan Xiang, who has been with Liu Qiqiao for a year, now finally has a place to use it. After a while, I will get a quilt for the family, and then I will ask Qiangwei and the others to prepare water and wash things. They are really busy. .
Liu Qiqiao saw that Lan Xiang had arranged her family very securely. She was very pleased. The stepmother took the two young ones, and she was reluctant to sleep when it was dark. She was walking around in the yard.
Jiang Cuicui opened the window and saw the three people outside, looking excited, she smiled: "Qiqiao, it turns out that every mother in this world treats her children very well. Look, I remember you The stepmother is a very vicious person, but, you see, the way she hugs the two children is really enviable..."
"Cui Cui..." Liu Qiqiao thought that Jiang Cui Cui had no parents when she was very young, and had always followed her grandfather. In fact, she was not as good as herself. At least, she still has fathers and sisters who love her. No matter how bad, the stepmother sometimes There will also be tender moments.
Jiang Cuicui leaned his hand on the edge of the window, smiled faintly, and turned around and said: "When I started, I didn't understand. Everyone must have a mother. I thought that every child is just like me. He is the same as my grandfather. Growing up, later, my grandfather and I went to sell fish at the market in the county town, only to see other children. I saw that they were all leading my father and mother. Only then did I know how to ask grandpa, grandpa Say, I also have my parents, but they died early..."
Shen Xiurong also felt the loss of Jiang Cuicui. She came over and hugged Jiang Cuicui: "Cuicui, don't be sad, Qiqiao and I are both your sisters. From now on, you have us and your second brother. He will always treat you. Very good, I know that my second brother looked stubborn. In fact, other people are good. When I was a child, my mother would not let me play with him, but I always watched him do those interesting things secretly. He was alone. Playing in the garden, I saw him catching birds and butterflies. Sometimes when he was having fun, he suddenly stopped playing when he saw me. He was timid because his mother would always say that he was , He went to Zhuangzi, and we only met each other during the Chinese New Year. He was very kind to me. He was always very careful to bring me the fun things in the countryside during the New Year. One summer, he gave it back. I used a grasshopper to hold it in a cage made by his own hands. Did you know? At that time, I even thought he was better than my brother, because my eldest brother had already married a wife and had children at that time. Don't take me to play again..."
Jiang Cuicui smiled and said, "Yes, I know that he is a good person, otherwise, I would not marry him!"
Liu Qiqiao took the pillow that Lanxiang handed over. As she put it on the bed, she turned her head and said to the other two people: "Go to bed, let's talk in the quilt..."
The three of them washed up early, and Shen Xiurong went to bed one by one. She tugged on the quilt: "This quilt is so big, it's still new!"
Liu Qiqiao nodded: "After changing the bed, Lanxiang put on a few new sets of quilts. This set has never been covered!"
As she said, she pulled Jiang Cuicui to the bed, "Cuicui, it's cold on the ground. You are a double body now. You have to keep warm. Let's go to bed!"
The three huddled together, laughing, Jiang Cuicui and Shen Xiurong squeezed Liu Qiqiao in the middle. The two of them were happy and teased each other behind Liu Qiqiao. Liu Qiqiao hadn’t been so happy for a long time, listen. They teased, she kept being teased, the newly changed bed was big, three people, and they were not fat, living in this place, it was not crowded at all.
Lan Xiang came in and turned off the light for them. He only lit a crane-shaped candle lamp beside the bed. The light was not bright, but it was enough to illuminate the women. Lan Xiang saw that there was nothing wrong with them, so he walked out, lightly. The door was closed gently.
The night is still long. There are three women and one drama. These three little women have been whispering, talking from home to outside, from men to women. Shen Xiurong, a girl who is about to choose a son-in-law to be married, is facing love and facing men. There are all kinds of fantasies. She said to Jiang Cuicui: "Second brother has said publicly that he will not accept concubines. This makes me like him more. Big brother is good everywhere. It's too fraternity, but I think After Qiqiao, no aunts will be carried in..."
Liu Qiqiao was a little sad, but nothing showed on her face. She stretched out her hand and stroked Jiang Cuicui's belly: "It's strange, is there a baby here? I can't see it at all!"
Jiang Cuicui himself patted his stomach lightly: "I couldn't think of it. It's so strange. Grandpa is very happy. This time I wanted to call Grandpa with him. But, a farmer’s mare is about to give birth to a young foal. Grandpa has recently become obsessed with raising these things, pony, calf, this is out of the water, he finally found something interesting for him, he was invited by that house last night, and now, in the Zhuangzi, Any farmer’s livestock has something to call him. He is in a hurry now..."
Jiang Cuicui talked about her grandfather unconsciously. His regret about not having parents just now has been relieved by having a grandfather who is dependent on each other.
Shen Xiurong smiled and said, "My grandmother is just as happy. She has been watching you just now before she was on the table, and told her to take care of you!"
Jiang Cuicui smiled and said: "I also know that my grandma rewarded me a lot yesterday, hehe, I can't think of it, I can still make a small fortune when I come back!"
Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong both laughed, and Shen Xiurong said: "When you give birth to this baby, grandma will reward you more, look at Xiaohutou now, it's so popular, and Nian Ci Nianen and I are standing aside! "
Jiang Cuicui pursed her mouth: "But, it's meaningless to be pregnant. Hey, it seems that I am pregnant with some golden bumps. Seeing you are all so nervous, I don't know. Why are you pregnant? I know what's wrong now. No, the second master never let me go into the water anymore, and also, I am not allowed to run, jump, jump..."
Liu Qiqiao couldn't help being funny: "You, this is for your own good. You can't be fooling around. From now on until you are born, you are not allowed to swim in the water. This is true. You still want to jump, of course not. !"
The three women, talking and laughing, slowly became confused until midnight.
Early the next morning, Lan Xiang saw that the three people didn't mean to get up at all, so she knocked on the door and whispered: "Auntie, Auntie, it's dawn, shouldn't it be time to get up!"
It wasn't until the second time that there was a sound inside, and Liu Qiqiao said, "Lanxiang, come in!"
The three people have simply dressed up, Lanxiang came in, Qiangwei and Jasmine also came in, serving the three people to wash, and simply ate breakfast. They all knew that a banquet for a while, might not eat well, then Many people, afraid that they will only watch the excitement.
After breakfast, Shen Xiurong went back to her yard and changed her clothes. Liu Qiqiao and Jiang Cuicui also simply freshened up and put on brand-new skirts. They went to the old lady Shen’s yard and waited for them. At this time, Shen Xiurong came over, and the three of them were sitting together again, as if they could not finish talking. The three of them gathered in the corner, babbling non-stop.
When the second aunt is like this, she is usually very busy. Huangfu is still in good spirits recently. Wan'er put a soft pillow around her waist, and she leaned on the side of the old lady Kang table, smiling with the old lady Shen and Shen. The lady was talking.
Shen Yunong has been busy outside, because Shen's mansion held a hundred-day banquet, and many people came to give gifts to celebrate. The banquet started on time in the morning.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers being set off outside, Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "This is about to start, let's go over too!"
So, Mrs. Shen first, followed by Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen Shao, and then a group of aunts. Aunt Zhou was behind Huangfu Haoyue with her mouth tight, and for a while, she actually walked to a position comparable to Huangfu Haoyue. Huangfu Haoyue felt her overstepping, but she just pretended not to notice, and smiled to reply Aunt Zhou's words.
On one side, Wan'er was so angry that her eyebrows were upended. Because her master didn't turn her face, she couldn't get out of her head, but with a glance, she didn't gouge the Aunt Zhou.
Finally, I walked to the front yard. The banquet was lined up from the hall, and the main guest seats were all in the hall, while the female guest seats were not connected to the outside, and they were separated from the men in the inner house by a bead curtain.
At the beginning of the banquet, drums rang, and the emcee was speaking auspicious words, the little tiger's head was lifted out and received praise from the crowd.
The little tiger head, Shen Yanzong, had the style of a general. He was surrounded by so many people. He didn't panic or fear. He didn't cry at all. Instead, he opened his dark eyes and looked around.
Huangfu Haoyue’s father, Huangfu Shangshu, did not come, but his eldest son, Huangfu Qianzhi’s eldest brother, came here early in the morning. The waiter’s smile appeared on the surface. Everyone knew it was. What's going on, although his sister is the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the Shen family, she is not in good shape. She has been in the business for many years and has not given birth to a child.
The eldest grandson of the Shen family was not from Shen Yunong's wife in the main house, but was also a matter secretly legendary by many people.
In particular, the Huangfu family is so powerful. According to rumors, Huangfu Qianzhi has always been a supporter of King Ye, and King Ye also values him very much. Nowadays, the successor has not yet been determined. Although there are princes, they are said to be more than elegant. , The decisiveness is not enough, but the king of Ye, quite the approval of the ministers, so, in the end, who is the future emperor of Dayu, no one really dares to determine now.
Huangfu Qianzhi was in the main guest table, and none of the others could have the same status as him. Therefore, he has a sense of being alone today.
