Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 225 Gathering in the Capital
By the time everyone has settled down, it is already the end of the application period.Fortunately, in May, the days are relatively long, and the sky outside is quite bright.Ming Yu ordered a banquet to be set up in the flower hall in the front yard, and Wen Han and the others also went home to bring their wives and children over. In this way, the whole family gathered in the capital.

The old man and the old lady looked at the people present. Wen Han led his wife, Xiu Yun, and held Xu Hongbo, the first grandson of the Xu family, in his arms.At this moment, Xiuyun's stomach is protruding, she should be at least six months pregnant.

Pengcheng was holding a boy, and it was naturally Yue Junhao.Jingya also hugged a child, a girl, this is their second child, named Yue Xiangning.

Yunfei and Jingwan are the funniest couple, each holding a baby, they turned out to be a pair of twins.The two identical boys attracted everyone's attention on the spot.The two little things were named Qi Mingsi and Qi Mingzhe.

These children who left home have already had their own children. Judging from their appearance, they know that life is not bad.The old man felt so at ease, looking at each one with beautiful makeup, like little dolls made out of dough, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say. "Okay, okay."

The old lady was naturally happy, and took out the meeting gifts that she had prepared at home, and distributed them to these children one by one.Each of them has a silver collar, and a piece of gold is dropped below it.Each one has a name on it and the child's birthday is engraved. "Come on, as an old grandfather, I don't have any good things. It's just a thought."

Wen Han and the others stepped forward, brought something for the child, and thanked the grandmother.

The old man refrained from smoking, "The only thing missing is Laowu's family and Zixuan, otherwise our family would be considered a gathering."

Zhixin smiled, "Isn't it? But Zhixiang and Zixuan are both parents and officials, and they can't leave their duties. We can't do anything about it." They all say that the officials are not free, especially the local officials.It would be a big mistake if people found out about leaving without authorization.

At this time, the banquet had been set up, so Mingyu called everyone to sit down and eat. "Grandpa and grandma, for the sake of my marriage with Jingxian, Mingyu felt very sorry for letting you come so far. Grandpa, Mingyu respects you and everyone here. From now on, we will be a family. If you have anything to do, just ask. If Mingyu can do it, he will definitely not refuse."

The old man laughed when he heard Ming Yu's words, "Okay, I'll just say this to you, we have to drink this glass of wine too." The old man is so beautiful in his heart.Among the girls in the family, except for Jinghe and Jingshu who were young and did not talk about marriage, the remaining four, it is better to marry one than the other.These grandsons-in-law, the old man became more and more satisfied the more he looked at them.

"Come on, let's drink this glass of wine together. It's rare for the old Xu's family to get together so well. You're all grown up, and I don't know if you will be able to do it all in the future." Where are you going? Let's have a good time today, and tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home." Full of pride, the old man picked up his glass and drank the wine.

The juniors below all raised their wine glasses and drank the wine.

Everyone was talking and laughing, eating and drinking, and while they were talking and laughing, a boy outside came to Ming Yu's side and whispered something in Ming Yu's ear.Mingyu stopped his chopsticks, "Grandpa, grandma, my eldest brother is here, wait a moment, I'll go out to meet you."

Mingyu's elder brother is the emperor.When everyone heard it, they all panicked immediately.Regardless of the fact that Li Mingrui lived in Xu's family for a while, but at that time no one knew his identity, so naturally he had no scruples.Now that I know that he is actually the emperor, is that okay?
The old man panicked, "Well, Mingyu, do we all have to kowtow to the emperor?"

Mingyu was just about to get up and go out, when he heard this, before he could answer, he heard someone outside say, "Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, I am still the same Saburo of the Li family, you don't need to treat me as the emperor. "It turned out that Li Mingrui had already entered.

Mingyu hurried forward, "Brother Huang, why are you interested in coming to my place today?"

"For saving my life, I have to come over to see my benefactor, right? Besides, I will be relatives from now on, so I have to come over to see my elders too. You are my only younger brother, and the two of us don't have any elders. He's your elder, isn't he?" Li Mingrui was dressed in ordinary clothes, followed by two young eunuchs, also wearing ordinary clothes, and just entered the house.

Wen Han and the others got up quickly and wanted to come and bow down. Li Mingrui waved his hand, "Today is a gathering of relatives. Didn't you see that I am in normal attire? Just treat me as Mingyu's big brother. We are not outsiders." In front of the family, Li Mingrui didn't want to put on airs of the emperor.

Mingrui looked at Wencheng and Zhiming, "I have never been able to thank you two for saving my life back then, but here today, Mingrui is being polite." As he spoke, he bowed his hands and saluted the two of them.

"Don't dare, don't dare, that day was just a little effort, and I can't deserve your majesty's thanks." Zhiming said quickly.

"How can I not deserve the great kindness of saving my life? It's a pity that Mingrui can't give another reward for such a great kindness. I hope you two will forgive me." All the credits at the beginning have been sealed to Jinghan, Zhiming and Wencheng, naturally There is no way to award any more.

"Where do you want any rewards? Now my two daughters are married well, that's enough. For parents, as long as their children are good, that's enough." Zhiming smiled, he never expected any rewards.Or it can be said that the entire Xu family didn't intend to ask for any rewards, and it was already good not to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Mingyu hurriedly asked someone to add chairs and a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Li Mingrui, "Brother, today is a family banquet, so it must not be in time for the banquet in the palace. If you don't mind, brother, come eat with us Let's go." It's not good for everyone to stand here and talk, it's better to eat together, so that the atmosphere will be better.

Li Mingrui nodded with a smile, "That's good, I haven't had dinner yet, so I just joined in the fun with everyone. To be honest, I haven't seen such a happy family before." He was not polite , sat down directly. "Sit down, we're a family gathering today, we don't have any status. Come on, Wenhan, Pengcheng, Yunfei, let's drink."

The Xu family was still a bit uncomfortable, but somehow they all sat down and ate their food slowly.Of course, the atmosphere was not as lively as before.Ming Yu also found out, and quickly stabbed Wen Han and the others, "Brother, what should we do, don't make them angry."

After all, Wen Han and the others often saw the emperor, and they had long been used to it, so they all tried their best to enliven the atmosphere.Everyone looked at the emperor and he didn't have any airs. In addition, everyone was simple and simple, and it didn't take long for it to become lively.

Li Mingrui listened to everyone's conversation, and asked how things were going at home from time to time.Zhixin and the others just talked about some of the current events, and just like that, they enjoyed their meal to the fullest.

After drinking and eating, these people were divided into several piles.The old man, Zhixin, and Mingyu Wenhan were of course talking and chatting with Li Mingrui.And the women all gathered in the next room, chattering non-stop.

The Jinghan sisters haven't seen each other for two years, and they have been busy just now, and finally found time to talk together, everyone is very excited.Each of them handed over their children to the girl next to them. Anyway, some of the children are also sleepy, so they just need to coax them to sleep.

Jing Han looked at Jing Xian carefully, the current Jing Xian is no longer the little girl she was back then.The stunning face is becoming more and more gorgeous, but not vulgar.Elegant in speech and manner, generous and decent in every move.Jinghan nodded secretly when she saw it, thinking that Jingxian had learned a lot in the past two years to cultivate this kind of temperament.That's right, Mingyu is a prince, Jingxian must be worthy of the status of a princess.However, only with such an identity can it be regarded as disappointing her stunning appearance, right?
"Jingxian, how have you been in the capital these two years? Are you okay?" Jinghan couldn't help asking.

"Second sister, I'm fine. Mingyu invited many people to teach me things. Although I'm not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it's enough to fool outsiders. Eldest sister, third sister and sister-in-law taught me some housekeeping skills I am very busy with things every day." Jingxian saw her relatives, as if she had returned to the days at home, and said softly next to Jinghan.

"Second Sister, you don't know how disgusting those ladies in the capital are. They knew that I was Mingyu's fiancée, and then they heard that I was a peasant girl, and they all looked down on me. One time they did something to enjoy flowers Yes, and then it was difficult for me to come up with a question, and asked me to write a poem or something. Hehehe, don’t even think about it, although our family is a farming family, which one of us has not studied since we were young? It’s just a poem, what is it? You didn’t see it The way they looked at that time was really fun." Jingxian looked down on those ladies from famous families the most, she pretended to be a lady on the surface, but she didn't know what she was doing behind the scenes?

Jing Han smiled, of course she could think of that scene.Jingxian is a beautiful and intelligent woman, and among the sisters of the Xu family, she is also the one who reads the most. She learned to read and write with Wen Han at the age of four.Jinghan has been a human being for two lifetimes, and she doesn't have the mood to recite poems against others, so she didn't bother with it in this life, and was just busy with other things.But Jingxian is different, she is young and simple-minded, she is very talented in this.

"Well done, let them look down on peasant girls again. What's wrong with peasant girls? Farmhouses can also fly out of golden phoenixes. However, these things that recite poems are good, and it's best to live for them occasionally. Thinking about it, Mingyu didn't like you because of this dish, and you don't need to put too much thought into it." Jinghan thought it was funny when she thought of the dumbfounded look of those people at that time, but she still wanted to say something.
