The Good Wife of Transmigration

Chapter 136 Friendship
In a blink of an eye, it is September, and there is an important festival in September, the Double Ninth Festival.Li Xingyu probably learned a few poems about chrysanthemums this time, so he specially wrote a post to the uncle's mansion a few days in advance, inviting Beibei to the palace to appreciate chrysanthemums.

The wife of the uncle's mansion didn't care about the son's visit at first. After all, children are only fresh for three days. Maybe after a few days, the son will get tired of playing and stop coming to the uncle's mansion.

What the wife didn't expect was that the eldest son not only got closer and closer to the fourth wife, but even the prince also looked at the fourth daughter-in-law with admiration.At this time, the son actually invited his little granddaughter to enjoy the chrysanthemum, and only invited her alone, how could this be possible?Although the child is young, there is no need to shy away from it, but it must be accompanied by an adult!However, if only the fourth daughter-in-law accompanied her, that would be inappropriate. I heard that there is not even a side concubine in Prince Rui's mansion. If he offends the prince, people should gossip about it.

Qin Ye volunteered to stand up at this time and said, "Madam, don't worry. I can go to the banquet with my wife and Beibei."

Qin Feifei also met Li Xingyu a few times during this period, and she was considered to be able to play with him. When she heard that Beibei was going to hang out with the son, she quickly shook her wife's knee and begged: "Grandmother, I want to go out with you too." Go, I'm going too."

The wife was full of love and affection for the eldest granddaughter, and she looked at Jiwei when she saw this: "I only invite you, Feifei wants to go together, okay?"

Jiwei nodded and said: "This should be fine, Shizi is not a stingy person, he should be very happy to have one more friend visit him."

Only then did the wife nod her head in agreement, and said: "In that case, let's go, as long as you don't offend the nobleman."

When Beibei heard that her father and mother would accompany her to enjoy the chrysanthemum, she was very happy.She was thinking about giving the prince a gift that she personally prepared, but she couldn't think of what to give.Her handwriting is ugly, and her paintings are so-so. As for the others, she can't think of anything else to give.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Jiwei suggested to her, "Beibei, can't you embroider? Why don't you embroider a fan cover and give it to Brother Shizi?"

Beibei pouted and said: "But, mother, I can't do embroidery well, the things I embroider are so ugly!"

Jiwei patted Beibei's head and said, "Don't be afraid, Beibei. As long as it's your heart, Brother Shizi will like it."

Only then did Beibei calm down, and quietly prepared to embroider a fan cover for Li Xingyu.Jiwei designed it for her, embroidered a chrysanthemum on the fan cover, embroidered a crab, and embroidered two sheep on the top, which represented—"Nine Nine Double Ninth Festivals, crab fat and chrysanthemum yellow."

Jiwei herself is not idle, she wants to make Double Ninth Cake by herself.There are many ways to make Chongyang cake, but it is usually made into a nine-layer pastry, each layer has a different color, and various nuts are mixed inside, and sometimes sweet-scented osmanthus is sprinkled on the surface of the cake, so Double Ninth Cake is sometimes called Osmanthus Cake.On the cake, make two pastry lambs and put them on, which means "Chongyang (sheep)".

Jiwei tried several times, and finally she was able to steam the Double Ninth Cake so that it was fragrant and soft. When she tried it, even Qin Ye praised it.

On the morning of the Double Ninth Festival, Jiwei got up early and first presented the steamed Double Ninth Cake to the master and wife.After returning to Luoxia Courtyard, according to the custom, she put a piece of cake on Beibei's forehead, and prayed that Beibei would do well in everything.After finishing this set of movements, they also sat down and ate the Double Ninth Cake.

Beibei's fan cover is finally finished. Although the embroidery is naive, it is generally acceptable. The colors are bright and beautiful, and the combination of the animals and plants is very interesting.

When Qin Ye saw such a small gift, he didn't know why he suddenly became jealous of Shi Zi, that brat.What's so good about that little guy?My daughter has never given her own fan cover, but the first fan cover was given to this little kid.King Rui is not worried, this son is not a good guy!

Seeing Qin Ye's face as black as the bottom of a pot, Ji Wei didn't know where he was having another twitch, so she had to personally take one of the lambs on top of the Double Ninth Cake and give it to Qin Ye.Qin Ye ate the lamb viciously, and then his face turned pale.

After eating the pastries, Jiwei and the others brought some pastries as gifts, called Qin Feifei, and then took a carriage to Prince Rui's Mansion.

Prince Rui's Mansion is located on Xijin Street. The main entrance is the gate of five animal heads, and the back garden of the mansion, Qinfang Garden, is on the right.Jiwei and the others drove their carriage all the way to the Chuihua Gate of Qinfang Garden, and then got out of the carriage.

Prince Rui's son Li Xingyu stood there with his hands behind his back like a little adult, pacing up and down irritably, seeing Jiwei and the others about to get off the carriage, his eyes lit up, he ran over immediately, and said angrily, "Why is it so late?" just arrived?"

Ji Wei hurriedly stepped forward to give her a blessing, and said, "I'm sorry to keep the prince waiting for so long."

Li Xingyu looked at Jiwei saluting to him so respectfully, felt a little uncomfortable, stuttered like never before, touched his head and said, "Ma'am, you are welcome, and... I didn't wait too long."

Qin Ye got out of the car, still facing his iceberg face that has never changed for thousands of years, after saluting with fists in his hands, he stood aside and did not speak.

Beibei also greeted Li Xingyu, then smiled and took the Double Ninth Cake from the nanny, handed it to Li Xingyu, and said: "We ate the Double Ninth Cake in the morning! I brought it to my brother, and I will try it later. It's made by my mother, it's delicious!"

Li Xingyu's face brightened, he couldn't wait to open the package, took a piece of Double Ninth Cake and threw it into his mouth.After taking a bite, he said with dignity: "Not bad, it's delicious, much better than my cook's."

When Beibei heard the compliment, she smiled and said: "My mother's cakes are the best. My brother will often visit my house in the future, and he can eat many more delicious things."

Li Xingyu rolled his eyes, looked at Beibei, twisted her little face, and said, "Oh, no wonder you have gained weight recently, so you ate a lot of delicious food!"

Beibei blushed all of a sudden, shyly pinched the hem of her clothes and said, "Brother, am I really fat?"

Li Xingyu narrowed his eyes with a smile, pinched Beibei's nose: "I lied to you, little idiot!"

Beibei stomped her feet and said in disbelief, "Hey, brother, you are a liar! You are not a good boy who lied to you!"

The two little guys laughed like no one else, making Ji Wei laugh too.However, Qin Feifei felt a little uncomfortable being on the sidelines.She also got off the car with Beibei, why did Shizi completely ignore her?
At this time, a big girl with a double bun who was following Li Xingyu stepped forward and gave a blessing, and said in a crisp voice: "General Qin, Mrs. Qin and the two young ladies are well! The slaves are the servants of the uncle's house." Housekeeper Yuzhu, I'm in charge of entertaining you today. If you have any requests, please feel free to mention them."

Jiwei also returned half a salute, and said, "Thanks for your hard work, Miss Yuzhu."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Mrs. Qin is too polite. I've been hearing Madam mentioned by the prince all the time, and seeing her today, she's really very elegant."

Jiwei smiled slightly: "Miss Yuzhu has won the prize."

They were still polite in front of the hanging flower gate, when a group of government soldiers came on patrol, the leading guard commander hurried forward to salute the prince.

Li Xingyu is obviously familiar with this commander, he waved his hands in a serious manner, and said, "Vice Commander Song, you don't need to be polite, you are on duty today, where is Cui?"

Deputy Commander Song seemed to smile knowingly, and said, "Commander Cui is still lying on the bed after taking that board! My son, Commander Cui didn't mean to offend you last time. Your lord has a lot, so I'll forgive you." Him?"

Li Xingyu raised his face and snorted coldly: "This guy is so bold, we should teach him a lesson."

Song Deputy Commander Nuonuoying, seemed to be quite afraid of this little prince who was just a few years old.

Qin Ye frowned when he heard this, and interjected: "Commander Cui, is this Cui Shaoyan?"

Deputy Commander Song raised his head in surprise: "Yes, General Qin. Why, General Qin knows our commander?"

Qin Ye nodded: "Well, after counting, he is my distant cousin. I didn't expect him to be the commander of the guards in the prince's mansion. How did he annoy the prince?"

Deputy Commander Song looked at Li Xingyu, and faltered: "This..."

Li Xingyu had already pulled Beibei forward at this time, and said, "That guy surnamed Cui has nothing to say, Beibei, let's go, let's go see the chrysanthemums."

Seeing this, Qin Ye had no choice but to stop asking, and followed them into the garden.

Qinfang Garden is a very atmospheric northern garden.There are many bamboos and ancient plums in the garden, a stream runs through the center of the garden, pavilions, terraces and pavilions, rockery and winding streams form an interesting contrast.Li Xingyu led them all the way forward along the bluestone road, passed through a few months of cave gates, and then walked onto a hand-painted verandah.

Li Xingyu stopped and said, "Here we are, let's take a look around!"

Jiwei looked around, only to realize that she was almost in a sea of ​​chrysanthemums.Dahlias, daisies, asters, sanscolors, all kinds of chrysanthemums compete in splendor and color.Of course, yellow chrysanthemums are the most numerous in the garden, and they look golden at a glance.However, there are also very rare and precious famous chrysanthemums such as green peony, ink lotus, and West Lake willow moon, which are placed separately on the desks on both sides of the corridor, which can be seen to be carefully cultivated by people.
