Splendid spring returns

Chapter 206 Not a person inside or outside

"Mom, look at me, look at me. In this basket are the wild vegetables I dug. Are they big and good?"

"Mom, I dug this basket. The third brother dug these two baskets. Later, the second brother saw us digging. He was curious, so he dug some too. He dug half of the basket, and there were some weeds in it. .”

Liu Zai pointed to a basket next to him and his face became serious. Regardless of Gu Yuchen who was killing the chicken and wiping his neck and giving him a wink, he thought about it very seriously and added another knife: "I think the half of the basket dug by the second brother cannot be eaten. Let's go back and ask Ping'er to take her to the kitchen to feed the chickens and ducks."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst out laughing. Gu Yuchen blushed and waved his hands: "I...I was just digging for fun, how could I know so much about it? What kind of Ku Ding, Granny Ding? Why aren't there A, B, and C? Isn't it because these wild vegetables are so tall?" Are they the same? Besides, these are not weeds, I can still tell the difference between weeds..."

Everyone couldn't stop laughing.Xin Nian smiled and said: "Okay, it's just for you to play with. By the way, let's eat fresh food too. Where do we really need to eat wild vegetables? Chunyu, you and Hongxiu and a few little girls picked these wild vegetables. Wash it well and fry some egg sauce tonight..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone outside the door laughing: "Huh? What good food do you want to eat tonight? I'll catch up."

"Daddy..."

Several children ran to the door happily, and Gu Changting happened to come in, hugged Yaya, the sixth child, touched the heads of Gu Yuchen and Gu Yufeng and asked a few questions about riding and shooting, and then everyone came forward to greet them.

After everyone sat down, Prince Duan looked at the baskets placed on the ground, his eyes straightened, and he said: "I haven't been here for a few days? Are you ladies relying on eating wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger? This is simply unreasonable. Aren't you still in charge of the kitchen? Why..."

"No, no, it's not what you think..."

Xin Nian hurriedly explained, and Gu Changting breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Let me just say, you can't be so shameless. As expected, you are so oppressed by these evil slaves. You should go to the warehouse and pick off my frost blade." , hacking a few to death is enough."

Xin Nian smiled and said: "You just came back from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing? Why do you speak with a murderous aura? As you said, am I the King of Hell?"

Aunt Qin and Aunt Gu stood up to say goodbye. Xin Nian said: "What's the hurry? You all stay here and try the wild vegetables dug by the children in the evening." After saying that, she winked at everyone, then coughed again and said seriously: "Eat it. We can’t be stingy in praising our wild vegetables, otherwise wouldn’t our brother Feng and Liu Zai Yaya suffer in vain?”

Everyone agreed and kept saying yes, so Gu Yufeng and Liu Zai Yaya became proud.

Only Gu Yuchen was dejected, and Xin Nian hurriedly said: "Although Brother Chen dug a lot of grass, it was good for him to dig wild vegetables for the first time. When Yaya, the sixth son, followed me to dig vegetables for the first time, he couldn't pick up half the basket. There’s one you can eat.”

Only then did Gu Yuchen feel that her face had become brighter, while Sixth Yaya tried her best to think back, feeling that what her mother said was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

Gu Changting sighed and said softly: "How difficult it was for you in the past? It's all my fault. Alas! How could it be like this if I came here a few times?" Humiliation, I have to fight you with a knife.Yin Busy smiled and said: "No, it's just that I take them to dig wild vegetables for fun in my daily free time, because I like this food. When I was at home, my father often said that these wild vegetables are good things."

People in the room chatted for a while, and dinner was set. Sure enough, in the middle of the table was a large plate of washed wild vegetables and fried egg sauce.

At first, everyone just wanted to show their support, but with the fish and meat on the table, the wild vegetables had a unique and refreshing taste. In the end, everyone liked it. Not much of the other vegetables were touched, but not a single wild vegetable was left.

A small banquet ended happily.After the children had all gone to bed, Gu Changting leaned on the couch and watched Xin Nian removing the hairpin rings and jewelry in front of the dressing table. He sighed: "It's better to be here. As soon as I came in, I felt relaxed, harmonious and beautiful. Yes. Niannian, I regret it, otherwise you should move back to the backyard. You don’t even know that now that you are not there, I am too lazy to enter the second door. I am even more afraid of the eldest sister and Jiaru. It’s really what you said. , you moved to Qingliang Pavilion, and the two of them started to have trouble."

After taking off the jewelry, Xin Nian combed her long hair again with a comb, then stood up and sat down next to Gu Changting, smiling: "Don't worry, as long as you come to me, the warehouse is still in my hands. They can only have small fights and won't turn against each other."

Gu Changting glared at her: "What? From what you say, do you still expect them to fight? I told you Nian Nian, we don't have such bad intentions."

Xin Nian smiled and said, "How can that be possible? Didn't I give you some advice? If you want them to coexist peacefully, just come to my place more often. Anyway, if you want me to move back to the backyard, I absolutely can't." You don’t even know how comfortable it will be to live in Qingliang Pavilion after its renovation.”

"Is it so comfortable?" Gu Changting held Xin Nian in his arms: "But you can still praise me for my hard work, right? Then how are you going to thank me?"

"Thank you as much as you want." Xin Nian lay down and put his head on her husband's shoulder: "Tan Feng, have you met him again? Have you spoken to him?"

"No. What's the point of bringing him up in such a good atmosphere? If you sincerely thank me, I will change my posture tonight..."

The sound gradually faded away, and then there was a clear slap, accompanied by murmurs of laughter and curses, perhaps because of a slight slap on the body. The voice gradually changed its tone and disappeared behind the bed curtain.

***********************
"I'm going to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing often. It happens that there is a village of ours nearby. There is a hot spring behind the village, and there are famous mountains and ancient temples around. The scenery is very good. I thought that before the children start school, I will take you to the village in the next two days. If you stay here for a few days, you can pack your things from now on. You can set off in less than three days at the latest."

Early in the morning, after Gu Changting washed his face and waited for breakfast, he talked to Xin Nian about going to the hot spring village.After saying that, Xin Nian asked in confusion: "Why did Hao Duanduan suddenly think of this trouble? Besides, let's go have fun, what will our ancestors do?"

"I asked my grandmother yesterday, and she said that we have to pay homage to Buddha these days." Gu Changting sat on the couch, stretched out his hand to support his head, and watched Xin Nian dressing up in front of the dressing table. He smiled and said, "This is what the eldest sister suggested. Yes, I have been so busy these past few years that I almost forgot about this hot spring resort. It was my eldest sister who was thinking about the hot springs she used to soak in and said it was very comfortable, so I remembered it."

Xin Nian smiled and said: "It would be good to go out for a few days. I'm just worried that you have a heavy responsibility in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and now you are taking your family to play nearby. Even if you don't delay anything, you will always have something to say. The official meeting will accuse you of "neglect of duty". Now there are many people in the court staring at you. I am afraid that those on the prince's side and those who oppose the prince want you to lose power. You are really inside and outside now. Not human anymore.”
