The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 700 Busy New Year's Eve

Although Lu Yuhua is only the concubine's daughter of the eldest son of the Zhenguo Mansion, her son is the first great-grandchild of the Zhenguo Mansion, so on the full moon day of the child, all houses in the Zhenguo Mansion, including Lu Baozhu, who has just returned to Beijing, have to go The Chen family drank full moon wine.

A group of people in carriages and accompanying guards went to the Chen family in Tongfu Lane in the east city. In addition to the generous full moon gifts prepared by the public, each house naturally prepared meeting gifts for the children, and Lu Baozhu was no exception.

When Lu Yuhua was young, she was raised by An's family for a while. At that time, Lu Baozhu was not yet married. Although there was a difference in age, Lu Yuhua loved to follow Lu Baozhu the most. They also like to wield knives and spears, so the relationship between the aunt and nephew has always been relatively close. Even after Lu Baozhu got married and was released with An Fengrui, the two still kept in touch.

Although Lu Jinkang only met Lu Yuhua when they got married in September, he was still very happy to see Lu Yuhua again today, and moved his precious son to Lu Baozhu and said, "Third Aunt, look at my baby, how cute it is!"

An's and Su Yunduo couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled after singing. Since the birth of the child, Lu Yuhua has become a show baby madman. Every time she visits her, the first thing she says must be praise the baby.

The Chen family held the full moon wine very grandly. Obviously, Chen Mian, who was not valued by his parents at first, gradually gained the attention of his parents and family after marrying Lu Yuhua. portion.

At the full moon banquet, without exception, Su Yunduo became the target of jokes by all the women's relatives. The jokes were nothing more than pregnancy and childbirth, an eternal topic after a woman got married.

Having been ridiculed a few times, I am already very comfortable in dealing with such situations. Just lower your head slightly and make a shy gesture, and leave the rest to Anshi. Lu Jinkang has already had a sincere discussion with the elders in the house about the matter of pregnancy and childbirth. As long as the elders in the house don't urge them, it doesn't matter whether outsiders are joking, ridiculing, or even provoking.

After drinking Lu Yuhua's child's full moon wine, there are only about [-] days left before the Chinese New Year, and the atmosphere of the new year in Beijing is getting stronger and stronger.

Since the end of last month, the annual gifts sent by the Zhen Guogong Mansion to various places began to be sent one after another according to the distance, and the annual gifts sent to the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion from all over the place are also increasing day by day. Su Yunduo's energy is almost more than half. Among them, fortunately, after taking over the hand-feeding, he has quietly cultivated and replaced some managers in major positions. Although these days are busy, they are always busy and not chaotic, which greatly comforts An's who was still a little worried.

In her previous life, Su Yunduo had heard the old people in the village talk about ancient times, so she had naturally heard about the custom of "married daughters don't look at their natal lights at the age of [-]". The daughter brought her son-in-law and children back to her natal family to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year holiday.

Only when I came here did I realize that "married daughters don't look at their natal lights at the age of [-]" is not just talk, but a real existence.

No matter how much the family loves their daughter, they will not allow the married daughter to stay overnight at her mother's house on New Year's Eve, for fear that it will make life difficult for her mother's family as the legend says.

As a married woman, Lu Baozhu would not stay in the Duke's mansion for the New Year, so since she brought her children back to the capital, Lu Tong quickly found someone to repair the house for her. Luckily, Lu Jinkang helped her and recommended A good team of craftsmen was formed, and finally, a few days before the New Year's Eve, Anhua Street's house was completely repaired.

Su Yunduo picked up more than a dozen rough maids and women from the Zhen Guogong's mansion to follow Lu Baozhu to clean and tidy up. Lu Baozhu decided to move back to Anzhai the day before the new year.

In order to have a reunion dinner before Lu Baozhu moved back to Anzhai, An's specially asked Lu Jinkang to pick up Lu Mingyang from the hot spring villa two days in advance on the holiday.

Su Yunduo also made a lot of preparations for Lu Baozhu's mother and children to move back to Anzhai, and even prepared a lot of New Year's goods for them.

In order to warm the house for Lu Baozhu, on the day when Lu Baozhu took his children back to Anzhai, the masters of the Zhen Guogong Mansion can be said to have dispatched the whole house, even Lu Mingyang was no exception, and had a lively meal in Anzhai "warming house hot stove" "liquor.

Of course, except for a few dishes for this "warming house hot stove" meal, the chef from Anzhai almost all the rest came from the chef of Piaoxiang Restaurant. Not only the dishes are rich, but the taste is also very delicious.

When Lu Baozhu returned to Anzhai with his children, the town government entered the countdown to the new year, sweeping the dust and worshiping the stove to make tofu, killing chickens and geese and cutting off the knives, making cakes and steamed buns with decals, worshiping gods and ancestors and wearing new clothes... New Year's Eve ushered in a busy day.

This is Su Yunduo's first year in the Zhen Guogong Mansion, and also the first year after the property division of the several houses in the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, but it did not appear deserted because of the property division, and the several houses still gathered in the Zhenghe Hall. After having a lively reunion dinner, they accompanied Lu Mingyang and An's vigil. Even Xiao Xu, who was ordered to pray at the family temple, was taken back to the mansion to attend the family banquet that day.

Xiao Xu, who was imprisoned for two months, looked much older when she came out this time, but her age in her early thirties seemed older than that of her second-bedroom wife, Fang, who was almost forty, and there were thin spots in the corners of her eyes. Wrinkles, obviously she has understood that most of the rest of her life will die of old age in the family temple, so the life in the family temple for the past two months has been very difficult.

However, he was much more honest. He knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Mingyang and Anshi respectfully, and sat down aside after getting Anshi's permission. He looked straight at the two children, with red eye circles But did not dare to cry.

Lu Jinhua's eye circles were also slightly red. No matter how sensible he was, he was only an eleven or two-year-old boy. His father went to the border town, and his mother was imprisoned in the family temple. Even if the mansion did not neglect him because of this, Su Yunduo would She took great care of him, and it was never as good as the care from her own parents.

Besides, even if he hated Xiao Xu's ignorance, Xiao Xu was also his biological mother.

However, when Lu Yujiao saw Xiao Xu, she went straight into An's arms. Obviously, the experience of Xuhuiyuan two months ago left a deep shadow on her.

Seeing Lu Yujiao buried her head in An's arms without even looking at herself, Xiao Xu's tears could not be held back and flowed down slowly, fearing that she would be reprimanded and lose her rare pair of children. Opportunity, quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears, but wiped more and more, finally, An Shi had to ask someone to take Xiao Xu to the side hall to calm down, while she herself talked softly about Lu Yujiao.

Since Xiao Xu was let out to have this reunion dinner, even after the meal, Xiao Xu's destination would still be the family temple, and she would always have to say a few words with her sons and daughters.

Although the atmosphere in the main hall was very dull because of Xiao Xu's arrival before the family banquet, the atmosphere of the whole New Year's Eve dinner was not bad.

When the delicacies and all kinds of fine wines carefully arranged by Su Yunduo were served on the table, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

After drinking for three rounds, the men had already rolled up their sleeves and opened their fists, and the women, though not so heroic, started fighting for wine, and Su Yunduo coaxed Lu Yujiao to follow her under An's gesture. To see Mrs. Xu, Lu Jinhua also went to the side hall to meet Mrs. Xu under Lu Jinkang's hint.

Before Mrs. Xu went home to the temple, Mrs. An closed the door and talked with her for about half an hour, and Mrs. Xu went back to the temple crying.

These didn't affect the lively atmosphere of Zhen Guogong's mansion at all, and the family banquet lasted until the New Year's sparks bloomed in the sky in Zishi Palace before it came to an end.
