The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 811
Except for the first few days of the first month of this year, the weather has been clear and clear. It has been raining and snowing continuously since the fifth day of the lunar new year. Seeing that tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, the sky has not improved at all, as if the wind is still whistling and snowflakes are fluttering.

The Xiaofeng Garden of Zhen Guogong Mansion is as warm as spring, comfortable and quiet.

In the banquet hall, Su Yunduo was writing something at his desk, Baitao and Baishao were sitting around quietly doing needlework with Yang's mother, while Bai Zhi was teasing and lying on the small trolley, babbling from time to time, no one could understand Brother Huan spitting bubbles in the baby mandarin.

"Looks like I can't watch the Lantern Festival this year." Stopping her needlework, looking at the snowflakes falling outside, Baitao sighed slightly.

Su Yunduo, who was writing something, didn't even raise his head and said casually: "That's not necessarily true, maybe the snow will stop later!"

Mother Yang raised her head and looked out of the window. Although she couldn't see clearly through the glazed window, she could vaguely see the branches swaying in the cold wind and the falling snowflakes. She couldn't help but shook her head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

After listening to Su Yunduo's words, Baitao's eyes that had just brightened couldn't help but darken again.

Although Su Yunduo gave everyone a holiday last year during the Lantern Festival, because Lu Jinkang was arrested by the emperor and sent medical liquor to Beibian City, and Su Yunduo was just diagnosed with pregnancy, no one in Xiaofengyuan was in the mood to go to the lantern festival. In the end, Su Yunduo really couldn't see the sluggish atmosphere in Xiaofengyuan, so he specially asked people to buy a lot of lanterns from outside and hang them all over Xiaofengyuan, so that everyone could enjoy a lantern in Xiaofengyuan.

However, no matter how many lanterns were hung in Xiaofengyuan, and even An's brought people to Xiaofengyuan to join in the excitement, it was still far inferior to the bustle of the street market outside.

As early as a few days ago, Su Yunduo asked Piaoxiang Restaurant to reserve the private room on the third floor with the best view and the largest view in the restaurant, and Baitao was one of the entourage who watched the Lantern Festival this year.

Maybe some people prefer to watch the lanterns by themselves, but Baitao prefers to watch the lanterns with her masters. Although it is not as free as going to watch the lanterns by herself, it makes people feel safer.

For the Lantern Festival viewing, Baitao is both looking forward to and a little scared. When she was very young, she was almost separated from her parents because of watching the lanterns. The shadow left by this made her feel that safety is more important than freedom. .

Now this time it wasn't Su Yunduo who asked her to accompany her, maybe she would rather stay in Xiaofengyuan than go to the market to watch the excitement.

Su Yunduo didn't know that there was such a shadow in Baitao's heart, she ordered Baitao to go with her, she just thought she was steady and smart.

In fact, Su Yunduo didn't really want to go out to watch the lanterns. After all, Brother Huan was too young to take him there, but she wanted to let Bai Zhi go back to reunite with her family, and then take her children to watch the lanterns.

Lu Jinkang insisted on taking her to watch the lantern to make up for the regret of last year.

Of course, Bai Zhi also wanted to go home to accompany the man and children, and also wanted to take her three-year-old son to the street to catch up with the excitement and watch the lanterns, but she knew better in her heart. , she could not be more lucky.

After all, Brother Huan not only eats her milk, Su Yunduo is not a harsh master, even though she is Brother Huan's nanny, she can always go home every now and then to have a look.

Since Lu Jinkang wanted to take Su Yunduo to watch the lanterns, Bai Zhi naturally wanted to stay and take care of Brother Huan without hesitation. It's Su Yunduo's maid, and the job of being a nanny might not fall on her head. After all, Brother Huan didn't like her milk that much at the beginning, and even now Brother Huan still wants to eat Su Yunduo more. milk.

It's just that God seems to be disrespectful to Lu Jinkang. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, but the wind and snow outside have no intention of stopping.

Hearing Mama Yang's words, Su Yunduo put down the pen in his hand and pinched his slightly swollen forehead, turned around and got on the couch, lying on the window sill and looking out, although the glass is more transparent than the window paper and screen, it is not as good as the glass in the previous life Being far away always makes Su Yunduo feel like she is covered with a layer of veil.

Shaking his head, Su Yunduo turned around and looked at Brother Huan who was lying on the stroller without any sleepiness, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes: "Come on, mother hugs, let mother smell fragrant."

Picking up Brother Huan, he took a sip on his delicate face, which made Brother Huan grin and giggle.

The mother and son played around for a while, Brother Huan gradually became sleepy, his originally energetic eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, Su Yunduo hummed a lullaby softly, and as Su Yunduo hummed, he was talking about The maidservants of the weather shut their mouths one after another, and the room seemed extremely quiet.

After Brother Huan fell into a deep sleep, Su Yunduo handed Brother Huan to Bai Zhi and took him to the wing to let him sleep well.

Children should sleep more to grow well and fast.

Brother Huan was missing in the room, and it suddenly became lively again.

Su Yunduo looked at Baitao who looked sluggish because of the unsatisfactory weather, got off the couch, stretched and did a few soft body movements, and then went to the door, opened the thick curtain and stretched his head out wait and see.

Su Yunduo's action of lifting the curtain shocked Mama Yang.

There is floor heating in the house. Lu Jinkang was worried about his wife and children getting cold, so he specially asked someone to burn two charcoal basins in the house. The room is really warm as spring. At this moment, Su Yunduo only wore a thin layer of clothing over his coat. The duck down jacket, you must catch a cold when you go out like this!
Mother Yang quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and took the thick cloak hanging on the hanger, came to Su Yunduo in three steps and two steps to put on the cloak, and said angrily: "It's cold outside, master hurry up!" Put on the cloak, you can't catch cold."

Su Yunduo quickly retracted her head, and shook her head at Yang's mother: "I just stretched out my head to look at the sky, how can I be so delicate!"

Seeing Su Yunduo retreating from the door, Mother Yang let out a sigh of relief. When Su Yunduo lifted the curtain just now, she really thought that Su Yunduo was going out.

Sitting down on the couch again, Su Yunduo looked at the sullen Baitao and said with a smile, "Cheer up! I don't think the snow will last long, maybe it will stop soon, everyone can go out to watch the lanterns tomorrow."

"Really, can the wind and snow really stop? Did the master lie to the servants?" Baitao immediately regained her energy when she heard the sound, staring at Su Yunduo with burning eyes.

It happened that Bai Kui came in from the outside, she didn't know what everyone was talking about, and she just said casually when she heard Bai Tao's words: "What is true and false, when did the master lie to us?"

After finishing speaking, he stomped his foot and put his frozen hand to his mouth, and complained to his little hand, "This terrible weather! It's been ten days without good weather, and it's windy and snowy. stop!"

As soon as the words came out, Bai Kui felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, and when she looked up, she found that all the eyes in the room were staring at her, thinking that there was something dirty on her face, and raised her hand Lai wiped it on his face but there was nothing wrong with it, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do you all look at me like this?"

Baitao pointed at Baikui angrily and said, "Just now I said that the master is not lying, and then he said when the wind and snow outside will stop. Aren't you contradictory? You are not flattering the master like that." Let's do it!"

Su Yunduo couldn't help laughing out loud.

Bai Kui came in from the outside and didn't know what everyone was talking about. When she heard Baitao questioning Su Yunduo, with a heart of blind admiration for Su Yunduo, she refuted Baitao when she opened her mouth. , but I have no idea what I said wrong.

What a fool!

"Okay, okay, haven't you noticed that the wind outside has started to decrease?" After Su Yunduo laughed, he opened his mouth to rescue Bai Kui.

Because Baikui had just entered the room and was closest to the door, after hearing what Su Yunduo said, she lifted the curtain and stretched out her head to look outside. Soon, she retracted her head and looked at everyone excitedly: "Not only is the wind lessened, but the snow is also gone." It's too small!"

Everyone got excited when they heard it, and those who were afraid of the cold rushed to the window and opened their eyes wide to look out, while those who were not afraid of the cold naturally pushed Bai Kui away from the door, opened the door curtain and looked out .

Sure enough, Baikui didn't lie to everyone. The wind outside has calmed down and the snow has also calmed down. Although the wind that originally blew the branches like a group of demons is still a little bit fierce, it is much gentler now, and the flowers that were originally falling from the sky like feathers have become delicate flowers. Snow.

Looking at this posture, it is really possible that Su Yunduo is right, the wind and snow will stop soon, then everyone can go shopping for lanterns tomorrow!

Baitao's energy immediately rose, and she jumped up and down happily in the room, just in time to be spotted by Chen's mother who came in to change shifts with Yang's mother.

Mother Chen, who didn't know what happened, looked at Baitao with a face full of hatred, and poked Baitao's forehead with her finger and said angrily, "How old are you, can't you be more stable?!"

In fact, although Baitao is not as stable as Ziyue among the maids in Xiaofengyuan, she is already considered extremely safe.

It's just that Su Yunduo is extremely tolerant to the people around him, as long as they do their own things well, they are not restricted to them on weekdays, they are all girls in their teens, just at a vivid age, talking and laughing is normal.

These laughter always give Su Yunduo a feeling of tranquility.

Seeing Chen's mother scolding Baitao at this moment, Su Yunduo couldn't help laughing: "Don't talk about Baitao, Chen's mother, I just like watching them smile. It would be even better if Ziyue could smile more!"

Ziyue, who was innocently lying on the gun, was practicing against the senior brother in the martial arts room of the outer courtyard at the moment, and unexpectedly sneezed three times in a row. The senior brother quickly stopped, but was kicked to the ground by Ziyue with a flying leg...

In the afternoon, God finally ended the ten consecutive days of wind and snow, and the sun finally broke through the thick clouds and sprinkled the sunlight on the world.

Although this ray of sunshine does not make people feel warm, it really makes people feel happy.

Even though the seal of the imperial court will not be officially opened until the [-]th, Lu Jinkang still has no free time, and still leaves early and returns late every day.

Ten consecutive days of rain, wind and snow have brought many problems to the capital. Residential houses in the west city and south city have collapsed from time to time.

These were supposed to be the affairs of the Jingzhao government office, but the imperial army could not stand idly by. Lu Jinkang had to lead people to assist the Jingzhao government office in emergency and disaster relief matters.

Because of the continuous wind and rain, almost everyone feels that this year's Shangyuan Festival may be ruined, but there is a lot of work to be done. Therefore, while assisting the Jingzhao government government in disaster relief, Lu Jinkang has to arrange the defense and security of the capital for the Shangyuan Festival. Job security is the top priority.

Since Lu Jinkang had long planned to take Su Yunduo to watch the lanterns, he naturally needed to arrange his affairs in advance in order to be free to accompany Su Yunduo.

But today Lu Jinkang came back much earlier than in the past. Su Yunduo was holding a rattle and buried his head in teasing Brother Huan who was lying in the small cart. When he heard the sound of lifting the curtain, he took it for granted that it was Bai Kui who went out to inquire about news. When he came back, he said without even raising his head, "Well, I'm not wrong, as soon as the wind and snow stopped, the snow must have cleared at the Lantern City, and there must be a lantern stall."

"My lady is really good at predicting things like a god!" Su Yunduo didn't expect that it was Lu Jinkang's smiling voice that answered him.

Su Yunduo raised his head and met Lu Jinkang's smiling eyes. He quickly put down the rattle in his hand and came over to wait for Lu Jinkang to change his clothes.

Lu Jinkang shook his head again and again: "I'm cold, please stay away from me, don't bring the cold to you, I can change clothes myself."

Although the wind and snow had stopped outside, and the sun was even out, the temperature was far lower than inside the house. He was carrying a cold air, and he was afraid of bringing the cold air to Su Yunduo, so how could he let Su Yunduo do it.

Su Yunduo had no choice but to stand two steps away from Lu Jinkang with his hands in his sleeves, and said softly, "I came back early today!"

"Well, things are well arranged. If I don't have anything to do, I'll come back earlier. I haven't been with Brother Huan for several days!" Lu Jinkang took off his coat and changed into the home clothes that Su Yunduo handed over. Su Yunduo personally cut and sewed it for him years ago.

In the past few days, Lu Jinkang went out early and returned home almost every day. Although he could see Brother Huan every day, he hardly had time to play with Brother Huan. Since he came back early today, he had to have a kiss with Brother Huan.

Don't look at Lu Jinkang always showing that he doesn't like Brother Huan very much, but in fact he hurts Brother Huan to the bone in his heart. After the cold air in his body dissipates, he reaches out and hugs Brother Huan who is sleeping on the pushchair.

Although Brother Huan hadn't seen Lu Jinkang for several days, he didn't have a relationship with him. Instead, when he saw Lu Jinkang reaching out to him, he excitedly waved his hands at Lu Jinkang, babbling in an incomprehensible baby language, As if telling Lu Jinkang how he missed his father, that cute little appearance made Lu Jinkang feel his heart soften.

"Do you miss Daddy?" Lu Jinkang patted Brother Huan's little butt lightly with his big hand, and asked with a smile as he looked at his son who was smiling happily in his arms.

"Ah..." Brother Huan opened his mouth and gave Lu Jinkang an answer in his baby Mandarin.

Lu Jinkang consciously took this voice as Brother Huan's affirmative answer, and the smile on his face fell on Su Yunduo's eyes, which looked a little silly, only to hear him ask again: "When Daddy is not at home, is Brother Huan happy?" Naughty, did you listen to your mother?"

"Ah, ah..." Brother Huan gave Lu Jinkang the answer again in his baby Mandarin.

"Well, very good! Keep going, listen to your mother carefully, don't be naughty or picky, is it possible?" After receiving his son's response, Lu Jinkang lightly scented Huan's face, and then warned Huan seriously. brothers.

"Ah!" As if he could understand Lu Jinkang's words, Brother Huan's "Ah" seemed to be more powerful.

Seeing the interaction between the father and son, Su Yunduo was amused, but felt that the years are so peaceful!
