Chapter 254 The Sorrow of Being a Mother

After saying goodbye to Luo Yun, Wanting said hello to her parents and went back to her room. She needed a good rest.

During this time, Wanting walked around with her parents, looked everywhere, and had fun, but she was also really tired. She would set off back to Beijing tomorrow, and she had to keep her spirits up.

On the second day, after breakfast, the family of three set out.

In July in the north, the weather was fine. A family of three, together with ten guards who had turned from darkness to light, set out on horseback.

General Zhenbei was busy with affairs and could not come to see him off, but he arranged for his three sons to see Ouyang Yiyun's family off at the city gate.

Before departure, Luo Yun also hurried over and brought some home-made food to Wanting. They were two kinds of sesame seed cakes that Wanting said were delicious after eating them.

The return journey is not long. After leaving the northern border and passing through the vast grassland, you can enter the jurisdiction of Sanjin in a few days, and then in just one day, you can cross Sanjin and enter the jurisdiction of Qinghe Prefecture. After passing through the jurisdiction of Qinghe Prefecture, you can enter the capital and then reach the capital.

So on the way back, the group didn't have to rush, and of course they didn't stop for fun.

When I returned to the capital again, it was already July [-]th.

After returning to the capital, Li Xiao felt a little wilted. In addition to the exhaustion of traveling all the way, the most important point is that they returned to the capital from the cooler northern border during the hottest season in the capital!

Before deciding to return, Ouyang Yiyun suggested to Li Xiao whether to return to Beijing a little later, because Li Xiao suffered a bitter summer, well, as a southerner, she suffered a bitter summer in the capital.

Li Xiao was also helpless. When she was a child in Dapo Village, she didn't see herself suffering in the hot summer. Why did she suffer in the summer after entering the capital?

Later, his third brother said that it was because after her family life became better, she became squeamish!
  Li Xiao thought about it, maybe it was true!

No matter how squeamish she is, Li Xiao insists on returning to Beijing in July, just because the triplets’ thirteenth birthday is coming soon!

After returning to Beijing, Ouyang Yiyun worked early and late for half a month before returning to his normal workload. After Li Xiao watched him busy for two days, he finally felt distressed, so he took the initiative to temporarily take over the business under his name instead of doing anything else.

Husband and wife are united, and their profits cut gold.

The two of them cooperated and finally settled the affairs in hand before the triplets' birthday.

In a blink of an eye, it was July [-]th, and the triplets’ thirteenth birthday had arrived.

Since the two brothers had classes during the day, Li Xiao prepared a buffet lunch for the triplets, and asked the triplets to invite their close friends to have a simple and lively lunch.

Buffet-style banquets have occasionally appeared in banquets of other aristocratic families since Li Xiao's sixteenth birthday, but most of them were banquets between young people, and most of them specifically asked Li Xiao to learn from them.

Because Wanting went out with her parents this time, she felt "ashamed" of her two younger brothers, so she took the initiative to help her mother prepare the birthday banquet, saying it was one of the birthday gifts for her two younger brothers. On the day of the banquet, Li Xiao showed up, said hello to the children present, and left the young people to enjoy themselves.

When he was about to leave the garden where the banquet was held, Li Xiao stood at the Moon Gate, looked back at the group of laughing and playing children, and suddenly realized that he no longer belonged to the "young people" group.

"Time flies so fast, and before I know it, I am an 'old man' too!" After saying that, he turned around and left with a smile.

At noon on this day, the garden of Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion was full of laughter and lively for an hour and a half. The laughter made the elders who stayed in the room unconsciously raise their lips just listening to it.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the young men present had classes in the afternoon, it is estimated that the banquet would have lasted until dinner.

After the banquet, Wanting took over all the finishing work of the banquet and arranged everything properly!

The whole family knew that her mother had a hard summer. Wanting thought that she was no longer a child, so she could naturally share these things for her mother.

Li Xiao would naturally not reject the child's filial piety, not to mention that in this era, it was time for a thirteen-year-old girl to learn various housekeeping matters.

Although Mimi Zai was born in the royal palace and was raised delicately from an early age, she will still get married in the future.

The legitimate daughter of the royal family will naturally be the legitimate wife in the future. Even if she is not the legitimate wife of the eldest son, she does not need to manage the affairs of her father-in-law, but she should be able to manage the affairs of her own family.

Even though she is a humble fish like Li Xiao, she is in charge of all the affairs in Yunxiao Courtyard.

Therefore, learning how to manage a house is naturally a required course for Wanting and Jiqian. Otherwise, how can they gain a foothold in their husband's family in the future?
  Thinking of this, Li Xiao suddenly felt a little sad. The daughter he had raised for more than ten years would soon be married to someone else in two or three years. Just thinking about it made him feel reluctant to let go!
  Now when I think back to the year or two when I was about to get married, my parents may have felt the same as I did at this time, full of reluctance and discomfort!
  In the evening, the family celebrated the triplets' birthdays lively. When they returned to the dormitory after dinner, Ouyang Yiyun found that his little wife was not in a very high mood.

I thought there was something wrong with the lunch banquet, but after asking more carefully, I found out that it was because the young wife was reluctant to let her daughter get married.

So Ouyang Yiyun held back his laughter and coaxed in a gentle voice: "She is only thirteen now, it's still early. Besides, if you are reluctant to part with her, then we will recruit her."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's so easy to bring in a child?" Li Xiao glared at Ouyang Yiyun and said: "Not to mention families with some status, they would almost never agree to let their son marry into the child. Even ordinary people's families would be willing to marry into the child. Yes, that is probably a decision made after careful consideration, and it may not be certain whether the person getting married is a good or bad person."

"Oh, otherwise they all say, 'Only when you raise a child can you appreciate the kindness of your parents.' It really is only when you become a parent yourself and actually reach this point that you can understand the difficulty and reluctance of your parents back then."

Li Xiao no longer knew how many times she had sighed today, because whenever she thought of her daughter's marriage, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Since we are so reluctant to part with her, then let's keep her for two more years. No matter if she is eighteen or twenty, is it possible that the girl from our palace is still worried about getting married?" When Ouyang Yiyun said this, there was actually a hint of emotion. Somewhat proud?

Hearing this, Li Xiao rolled his eyes inelegantly, looked at Ouyang Yiyun with eyes full of teasing, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, it seems that the Fourth Young Master Yun of the Xiaoyao Palace back then was almost white-skinned just to get a wife. Head?" (End of chapter)
