Chapter 270 Zhongyuan Festival

"I didn't let my mother tell you. I was afraid that you would be distracted by your study tour in the state capital. And it hadn't been three months yet. I was also afraid that the pregnancy would be unstable. Besides, I also wanted to give you a surprise. You Aren't you pleasantly surprised now?" After speaking, Jiang winked at Li Yan playfully.

"Surprise! I'm so pleasantly surprised! If I come back later, I might see a big fat boy!" Li Yan grinned almost to the ear, and whispered in Jiang's ear talking.

"You're so sure that it's a big fat boy, maybe it's a girl." Mrs. Jiang said this in a low voice, afraid that her mother-in-law would be unhappy if she heard it, but she had been looking forward to giving birth to a son to the Li family.

"Girls are better, you know I like girls better." Li Yan also echoed in a low voice, and the couple looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

Since Li Yan came back, the family started to make arrangements for worshiping the ancestors.Because Jiang Yanzhi was not at home, Jiang was thinking about her ancestors at her mother's house. Although Jiang Youzhi was still there, he was still young, and worshiping ancestors was cumbersome. Jiang was afraid that he would not be able to do it alone, so she went with Li Yan said.

Li Yandao, "Prepare some incense, I will take Youzhi and Shanqing to make a sacrifice together, and also look at the graves of the ancestors, if there is something to clean up, I will do it together."

Jiang nodded, "That's also good."

Li Yan talked to Mrs. Li again, Mrs. Li thought about it, and sighed, "It's also reasonable. Speaking of being an official outside, I'm afraid you can't get it if you are here alone. Just go and see. "

Mrs. Li said to Jiang again, "Prepare the paper thread of the incense candle quickly, and then prepare some incense for offering, and ask Meier's father Shisan to come and make a sacrifice."Moreover, it is okay to go to the grave to worship the ancestors on the Ghost Festival, two days in the morning, but it is not good to be late.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said, "I asked Ding Yi to prepare everything, including our own household items." Mrs. Li nodded, and gave Li Yan a few more instructions.

The Hungry Ghost Festival is a day for going to the grave to pay homage, and even the school has a two-day holiday.After Li Yan led Jiang Shanqing to sacrifice at Jiang's grave, it was time to sacrifice to his ancestors.

In the morning of the Hungry Ghost Festival, Li’s family made wontons to eat.Because they had to rush to the grave, they ate early.Mrs. Li was rubbing the paper money and ingots she bought back in the porch, and said, "Burn some more money for the dead old man, and buy what you need with silver."

Mrs. Jiang rolled aside stacks of paper money, and Li Meier took the steamed white flour steamed buns in the morning and packed some dried and fresh fruits in food boxes, which were to be used as incense offerings.

Li Meier looked at the ingots in this place, and couldn't help saying, "There must be a lot of rich people in the underworld." There are also many tricks in the paper money shop. class, do the same as the real thing.Li's family usually lives frugally, but they are always generous, and bought a lot of flowers for their ancestors.

Mrs. Li couldn't help correcting her when she heard the words, "It's a rich ghost."

Mrs. Li said again, "Someone has to burn money to be rich, like those who have no one to burn money, they are still poor when they go underground." Your father said, ask him to bless your daughter-in-law to give birth to a boy!"

He said to Brother Kang again, "Give your grandfather a few more nibbles, and talk to your grandfather about it, you want a little brother."

Brother Li Yankang's father and son suddenly had black lines all over their heads, and the pressure was great.

Li Mei'er couldn't get used to Mrs. Li's patriarchal appearance the most, so she said dissatisfiedly, "Grandfather is not Guanyin who sends children."

Mrs. Li scolded, "I know so much! I don't know anything about the girl film, our family has had good luck in the past two years, and it is your grandfather who protected us underground."

Li Meier can't refute this. Her family's luck has been really good in the past two years. Not only did she make a lot of money in business with Li Xin, but her mother is also pregnant with a child. up.In short, the Li family had a very lively Hungry Ghost Festival this year.

After the Ghost Festival, it seemed that the day of Qiu Wei was approaching. Although Mrs. Jiang was pregnant at the moment, she couldn't take it easy. She discussed with Mrs. Li about getting her husband something to go to the state capital Qiu Wei.

"It's a pity that I'm too heavy this time, so I can't accompany my husband to go to the state capital." Jiang said with some regret while preparing things. Last time she accompanied her husband to the state capital for the exam, although she failed in the exam , but also arranged her husband's daily chores very properly.

"Isn't Youzhi also wanting Qiuwei this time? Their uncles have mutual care, so you don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Li didn't have anything to worry about. It was the third time for her son to participate in Qiuwei, and he was already familiar with it.

"That's right, Youzhi is more familiar with me in the state capital, so many things can be arranged, and this time, when Xianggong goes to the state capital, he can directly live in Sanbo Xin's original house, which is much more comfortable than the last time we stayed in the inn. "Jiang smiled, and there was not so much worry in her words.

Li Yan went to the state capital at the beginning of August. When he left, the whole family went to see him off. Jiang was inevitably sad again. After all, her husband had only been back for more than half a month and was leaving again. But think about it. Going to the future, and coming back in at least a month, I feel a little relieved in my heart.

After Li Yan left, the Li family began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony. Because Mrs. Jiang was pregnant, Mrs. Li and Li Meier took care of this matter together. According to Mrs. Li, "The girl is getting older every day. It’s time to learn these interpersonal relationships, so that you don’t have to learn it before you get married, and you will be caught blind.”

Li Meier is very familiar with doing these things, not to mention that she has learned these things in her previous life, even in this life, she has also learned these personal relationships from Mrs. Zhengu.

Li Mei'er prepared a set of gifts, relatives and friends who were not so familiar were sent by servants, and those who were familiar were sent by her or Jiang Shanqing in person.

When they send gifts out, there will naturally be other relatives and friends who will give gifts to her family. Li Xin's family and the patriarch's family have quite generous gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. It's a bit intriguing, I think it was the last time Mrs. Li took Li Meier to talk to Li Yuanchun, and she also knew about the nasty things that Mrs. Liu and Li Mengdan did, so Mrs. Liu prepared such a generous gift, which was somewhat of a hush money the meaning of.

Mrs. Li naturally accepted all the orders. Although she hated the character of Xiao Liu and Li Mengdan, she still respected Liu, the patriarch's wife, and even had some sympathy in her heart. Well, that's why I chose such a stupid daughter-in-law, and by the way, taught me a stupid granddaughter.She is still a wise old man, seeing how virtuous the daughter-in-law his son begged for, and the granddaughter he gave birth to is also smart and clever.She completely forgot that she didn't agree with Li Yan marrying Mrs. Jiang, and broke several feather dusters because of it.
