The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 352 Reunion
Fast forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the soldiers in the Northwest are unable to sleep at night because of the war, let alone reunite with their families, but this will not affect the luxurious and bright days in the imperial city thousands of miles away.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a big banquet in the palace as usual, and all the wives of the aristocratic family received the imperial invitation from Empress Cao to the palace for the banquet.

After Jingshu received the imperial invitation, she found an excuse to shirk it.

When the queen invites you, Jing Shu's evasion is naturally not in compliance with the rules, but it is expedient. There is more than one person in the deep palace who wants to frame her. Li Ling is not at home, and Jing Shu is a woman. It is to find a way to protect yourself.

In the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how busy Li Ling was, he would find time to spend it with Jingshu and the children. This year, Li Ling was away from home, so Jingshu could only spend it with the children.

It has been half a year since Li Ling left for the Western Expedition, and the two children have long missed their father very much. Brother Xuan is always sensible, although the little guy feels sad, he never cries in front of his mother, and sister Bao has always been beaten by Li Ling. Pampered, because he can't see his father, he can't eat for three days, or he can't sleep without his father.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, all the men in the mansion also take a rest. In order not to let the children feel lost because their father is not at home on such a day, Jing Shu got up early in the morning and ordered someone to bring the ingredients for making moon cakes to the room. Watching the children make moon cakes to pass the time, so as to distract their thoughts.

It was the first time for the two little guys to learn how to make moon cakes with their mother, and they were all very excited. Ziyun cleaned their hands for the two of them, and the two brothers and sisters couldn't wait to make up with their mother.

After the dough was reconciled, Jing Shu and the children kneaded the dough into long strips, then cut the noodles into small pieces with a bamboo knife, and patiently taught the children to knead the dough into small balls.

Ah Mu looked at Sister Bao's rare serious and well-behaved appearance from the side, the old man smiled like a flower, and said with relief: "These days, my sister is not used to me by my uncle, but she is becoming more and more obedient. "

As she said that, she looked at Jingshu and said, "I think this sister Bao looks a bit like you when you were a child. When the young lady was as old as your sister, every time I made dim sum, I had to follow along. .”

After hearing this, Ziyun echoed, "So our eldest lady is proficient in everything, and the dim sum that I make is even more unforgettable after eating."

Sister Bao finished kneading a piece of dough, held it in front of Jingshu, raised her face and chirped, "Mother, do you think I can knead this dough?"

Jing Shu picked up the handkerchief and tried the flour on her daughter's face, smiled and praised her daughter, then picked up a spoon to scoop out the stuffing and stuffed it into Sister Bao's soft dough.

Sister Bao stared at the filling and asked: "Mother, there is not too much honey in this mooncake filling, right? I made this mooncake for Daddy, and Daddy doesn't like it too sweet."

Jingshu patted her daughter's head, and replied with a smile: "My sister is really filial, don't worry, mother only put a little honey in these stuffings."

Sister Bao felt relieved after listening to her mother's words. Following Jing Shu's example, she carefully put the stuffed dough into the mold little by little.

Brother Xuan on the side was learning by doing, and made the mooncakes without any help from adults. After putting the mooncakes into the mold, he drew a word "tuan" in the middle of the mooncakes with a small bamboo stick.

Jingshu looked at her son's slightly distorted handwriting on the mooncake, and smiled and asked Brother Xuan, "Did Brother Xuan make this mooncake for Daddy too?"

Brother Xuan looked at Mother and said with a smile: "My sister has already made mooncakes for Daddy, and I made this mooncake for Mother. Brother Xuan hopes that Daddy will come back to reunite with us soon, because Mother and Sister are both I miss my dad."

Jing Shu looked at her sensible son with relief, and asked with a smile, "Brother Xuan misses Daddy too?"

Brother Xuan nodded to his mother, and replied: "Brother Xuan also misses Daddy, but when Daddy left, he warned me that even if he thought about it, he can't make up with Mother, otherwise Mother will get angry."

After Jingshu heard this, her heart warmed up, and tears almost fell down.

In the evening, Ziyun Danzhu and a few little girls placed fruit mooncakes and sake in the yard, and Jing Shu, Ah Mu, Ziyun Danzhu and others took Brother Xuan, Erbao, and sisters to enjoy the moon in the yard.

Not long after, Xu Wanning and Pingyang also brought the children over.

Today, the whole family of Xiangwu Gongfu had just had a reunion dinner together. In the evening, it was the time for the reunion of the small families of each house and courtyard, but Xu Wanning and Pingyang were worried that Li Ling would not be there, and Jingshu would inevitably be lonely with the children alone. He brought the children to accompany her.

The three sisters-in-law have always been in harmony, since Xu Wanning and Pingyang cared about her, Jing Shu did not refuse. The three sat in the yard drinking tea and chatting, while the children chatted and ate fruit to play.

At the beginning, it was a harmonious scene, but after a while, Brother Erlang Ping and Brother Sanlang Xuan scuffled together again.

The two boys are now four years old, and with strength, Jing Shu, Xu Wanning and the nurses took a lot of effort to pull away the two little guys who were wrestling and rolling together.

Jing Shu and Xu Wanning were sweated by the two boys. They each pulled their sons, and the two boys rolled all over. Although they were restrained by their mother, they were still like aggressive little roosters. Unconvinced, he kicked and punched the opponent.

Xu Wanning helped her son dust off his body with a handkerchief, while complaining: "These two brats have to be cleaned up by my second brother."

As he said that, he stared at his son and said intimidatingly: "Stop making trouble, if you make trouble again, Second Uncle will come back and kill you."

Hearing this, Brother Ping really stopped shouting, but muttered unconvinced: "Even if the second uncle is back, hum! I'm not afraid either."

The two younger brothers would fight when they got together, and everyone was used to it, and after a while, the two of them were playing together again.

Sister Zhuang is already eight years old. She was born graceful and graceful, and she already has the figure of a little girl. After eating mooncakes with her younger sisters, she asked someone to fetch a pipa and sat under the osmanthus tree to play it. Play it.

The younger sister always likes to cling to her elder sister, the second sister, Bao Jie, the third sister, Qing, and the youngest, Wan, are the same. As long as they are with the elder sister, the little ones will obey the elder sister's command. .

At this moment, Sister Zhuang was sitting under the tree and playing the piano, and the younger ones sat obediently around her. Their mouths were drooling, and they all looked at the eldest sister with adoring eyes.
