Chapter 71 The Lantern Festival
After Jiang Han finished speaking, the Jiang family's mistress was silent for a long time without answering.

But she made up her mind at this meeting. After Jiang Qianqian's daughter married in, she must let her set the rules.

Just because she is Jiang Qianqian's daughter, she won't allow her to climb on top of her!

Jiang Han didn't know what decision his mother made when she was seated at the top of the chair. Before his mother could speak, he thought that his mother was persuaded by him.

In the days that followed, Jiang Han counted on his fingers every day when Xu Yanzhu would arrive in the capital. He hadn't seen Xu Yanzhu for many years, and he really missed her.

Xu Yanzhu didn't know that someone in the capital was thinking about her, and that the Jiang family in the capital already had an enemy before she married.

Moreover, this enemy is still the head of the Jiang family behind the scenes.

Because her grandmother told her to stay at home for another Mid-Autumn Festival before going to the capital, so Xu Yanzhu is not in a hurry to stay at home these days, and will go to Shihuanyuan to talk to Dong Shu every afternoon.

"Third Aunt, are you still working as my sister's little gown?"

When Xu Yanzhu came to Shihuanyuan today, Dong Shu was sitting in the yard sewing a gown for her unborn daughter. The pure cotton fabric had already been scrubbed, so she was very careful with each stitch, for fear that the thread would be exposed.

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's voice, Dong Shu stopped what she was doing, then looked up at her and said, "Yes, I do it slowly, a little bit a day, and so far I have only done two pieces." The child's coat and Although the trousers do not need to be embroidered, the thread ends cannot be exposed when sewing.

The most important thing is that Dong Shu sews the children's clothes every afternoon just to pass the time, so her movements are very slow.

But now that Xu Yanzhu is here, she can stop her movements and turn her head up to look at her.

"Yanzhu, your complexion looks much better than it did a few days ago."

"Third aunt, why are you starting to tease me?" Xu Yanzhu said, and after sitting down beside Dong Shu naturally, she poured herself another cup of still warm water, "Your attitude towards this marriage is yours." I also know that it is a happy event, but what I value more is to go to the capital to help the family to inquire about the news. But today I look better, I am afraid that seeing them pay so much dowry, I feel happy!"

Dong Shu naturally understood who Xu Yanzhu said 'they', thinking about what the second brother and the second sister-in-law did before, Dong Shu didn't want to mention it again.

"Have you set a date to leave?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu after asking this, and then hurriedly continued to ask: "I'm pregnant, and your third uncle is worried about letting me go out to see you off, so I want to see you off when you leave." Before Beijing, I will personally cook a few dishes at Shi Huan Yuan, and practice it for you and Cui Hua."

What Dong Shu said, she had mentioned to Xu Shiqiu before, and she would tell Xu Yanzhu only after Xu Shiqiu agreed.

Xu Yanzhu didn't expect her uncle and aunt to have such a plan, she didn't refuse, she nodded to Dong Shu and said, "Okay, definitely not on August [-]th, we will leave on August [-]th, yes Grandmother specially went to calculate the best days to travel, and other days are fine.”

"Okay, when your third uncle comes back from the front yard later, I will tell him about it. He seems to have said that he will take us to the county for two days. You have to be prepared for these two days."

As soon as Dong Shu said, Xu Yanzhu's eyes lit up.

If someone else brought up this matter, it might not be successful, after all, she is waiting to be married now, so it is not easy to go out casually.

But now it was proposed by the third uncle. As long as it was proposed by the third uncle, the grandmother would definitely not refuse. As long as the grandmother agreed, then she would be able to go out smoothly.

Seeing that Xu Yanzhu was happy, Dong Shu also became happy.

The two had another conversation, and Xu Shiqiu, who had read the account books in the front yard, just came back with an account book.

"Yan Zhu is just here. Take a look at your store's account book, so I won't have to ask Cuihua to send it to you." As he spoke, Xu Shiqiu sat down beside Dong Shu, and the account book in his hand was also sent to Xu Yanzhu at this moment. before.

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Yanzhu was originally unwilling to reach out to take the account book, but when she saw that she hadn't moved, Xu Shiqiu immediately said, "Let's take a look, I won't be able to send the account book over when you are in the capital, you can take a look now." , it’s good to know what’s going on.”

Because of Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Yanzhu took over the account book and looked at it.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu carefully looking at the account book, Dong Shu told Xu Shiqiu what she had just said to Xu Yanzhu.

"Then August [-]th, I happen to be free that day." After Xu Shiqiu said this, Dong Shu was a little puzzled, and quickly explained: "The county has three days from August [-]th to August [-]th every year." Lantern Festival, there is no curfew.

We can't make it on the fifteenth day, so we have to spend the holidays with our mothers at home, but on the sixteenth day, after lunch, we can go to the county to play in the afternoon, and we can see the lanterns by the way, and we will come back after watching the lanterns in the evening. "

Dong Shu became excited when she heard Xu Shiqiu's words. She had been in Xiahe Village for so many years, but she hadn't been to Linhai County to see the Lantern Festival.

After Xu Yanzhu read the account book, he was very excited when he learned that he could watch the Lantern Festival in Linhai County again before going to the capital. Thinking of what he had heard about the Lantern Festival in the county, he couldn't help looking forward to it.

Xu Shiqiu was going to take Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu to the county to watch the lanterns, and he told Mrs. Xu directly about this.

In the old days, Mrs. Xu might not feel relieved that a person with such a special physique as Xu Shiqiu would go out with the pregnant Dong Shu and the soon-to-be-married Xu Yanzhu, but thinking that Yanzhu was about to leave Xiahe Village for the capital, she finally agreed.

Just as Xu Yanzhu had expected at the beginning, even if her parents didn't want her to go out, there was nothing she could do about it. As long as the third uncle asked and grandma agreed, there was nothing they could do even if they disagreed.

Because she was thinking about going out in the afternoon, Xu Yanzhu came to Shihuan Courtyard early in the morning on August [-]th, planning to help Dong Shu prepare lunch together.

"Why did you come so early?" Xu Shiqiu, who got up early for morning exercises, saw Xu Yanzhu who was blocked by Cuihua in the front yard at the door. Cuihua stay in the front yard, you can come to the backyard after my morning exercise is over."

After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Cuihua also said to Xu Yanzhu in front of her: "Last night, the third son and his wife said that you must have been talking with the old lady late last night, and you won't come so early today." Then, Cuihua specially moved out two stools from the room, and gave one to Xu Yanzhu for herself, "The third son is not allowed to get close to him during his morning exercises. Only after his morning exercise is over, the servants can go over."

After hearing what Cuihua said, Xu Yanzhu glanced at her before shaking her head with a smile and said, "I understand, third uncle is afraid that something will happen if we get too close to him before third aunt gets up." After saying this, After Xu Yanzhu sat down on the stool, she looked at Cuihua and asked, "Have you packed your things?"

"There's nothing to clean up. I only got some private rooms after serving my wife. I have already cleaned up these things." After Cuihua said this, she looked at Xu Yanzhu after thinking about it and said, "Miss, I want to Take the lotus flower to the capital, and let her stay in the third son's Zhuangzi after arriving in the capital, okay?"

Cuihua didn't have much affection for her younger sister He Hua at first, but after all, they are close relatives of flesh and blood. After getting along for such a period of time, she saw that after learning that she was leaving, her younger sister was cautious every day and flattered her every time she looked at her. , which made Cuihua, who originally planned to leave her in Xiahe Village and find someone to marry at will, changed her mind at the last moment.

It's just that if Cuihua knows what will happen in the future, she will definitely not say this today, and will definitely leave the lotus in Xiahe Village, and find someone to marry at random according to her previous plan.

"Yes, third uncle has a Zhuangzi who is with my Zhuangzi. It's no problem for you to arrange the lotus there."

Xu Yanzhu didn't have any feelings for lotus, but now she liked Cuihua more and more. Naturally, she would not refuse Cuihua's small request.

When Xu Yanzhu and Cuihua were talking, Dong Shu also woke up.

Dong Shu originally wanted to sleep for a while, but because she was thinking about going to the county this afternoon, she finally struggled to get up.

As soon as Dong Shu woke up, Cuihua and Xu Yanzhu naturally didn't have to stay in the front yard and dared not come to the backyard.

After Dong Shu had a simple breakfast, the big kitchen also delivered the ingredients Dong Shu needed.

"Third Uncle, we are here today, so you should go about your business."

Xu Yanzhu looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking, and Xu Shiqiu was about to speak with an expression of displeasure.

But just when he was about to speak, Xu Yanzhu looked at him again and continued: "Third Uncle, Cuihua and I are going to the capital, and we won't be able to help Third Aunt in the future. You will have a lot of opportunities in the future."

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu suppressed what he was going to say, "Okay, since you want to help, I'll go to the front yard to deal with some things. But if you need help, you must call me."

Xu Shiqiu naturally wanted to stay with the little lady all the time, but he also felt very reasonable after listening to Xu Yanzhu's words.

I was also worried that the eldest niece had something private to say to the young lady, so in the end, although she was still unwilling, she went to the front yard.

After Xu Shiqiu left, Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu and burst out laughing, "Third Aunt, there is no Third Uncle to help you today, only me and Cuihua."

Dong Shu also saw the joke in Xu Yanzhu's eyes, she squinted her crescent eyes and smiled, and then said: "I am pregnant now, and you and Cuihua are busy today." Dong Shu actually didn't ask Xu Yanzhu and Cuihua to do anything.

The ingredients were all simply processed in the big kitchen, and when they arrived at her place, there was no need to deal with them.

But today, with the help of Cuihua and Xu Yanzhu, Dong Shu only needs to do the cooking at the end, and she simply prepares a table of ordinary farm meals.

"I didn't make any delicate meals, I'm good at them, ordinary farm meals." Dong Shu hasn't cooked since she was found pregnant, and it's the first time in a few months that she cooks today.

After Xu Yanzhu swallowed the food in his mouth, he looked at Dong Shu and said, "It's delicious, I like it." After saying this, he paused for a while before continuing: "I'm here for other food I can still eat it after the capital, but I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the ordinary farm food cooked by my third aunt."

Even if the third uncle took the third aunt to the capital, after arriving in the capital, with so many people watching, it is impossible for the third uncle to agree to let the third aunt cook.

This point, Xu Yanzhu is still clear.

After hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu suddenly felt sad.

It's just that before she could speak, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and Xu Yanzhu and said, "There's no need to be sad, there will always be a chance in the future." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at them both and shook his head, "Don't waste time, we I will go to the county to watch the Lantern Festival later."

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu, who were still sad just now, immediately put the matter aside and hurriedly bowed their heads to eat.

The annual Linhai County Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, if you don’t go today, you will have to wait until next year.

Dong Shu can wait until next year, but Xu Yanzhu doesn't know when she will wait, or in other words, she will never have the chance to see her again in her life.

Although Linhai County is not as rich as other counties in Fucheng, it may be because of Linhai, the population has gathered here from all directions over the years, so many styles of lanterns can be seen at the Lantern Festival of Linhai County every year.

Naturally, Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu out today without making any preparations.

Not only did he call Xu Feng and Xu Jun to bring their families, but Xu Jie, who had no family members, was also called by him.

Xu Feng and Xu Jun led their families in front of and behind them respectively, Xu Jie and him protected Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu from left to right, and Cuihua led the lotus to follow behind them, so Xu Shiqiu thought they were Although the group is conspicuous, they are very safe.

Although today was the last day, it was not as crowded as yesterday on August [-]th. Before going home after watching the lanterns, Xu Shiqiu was going to guess a lantern for Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu to go home.

It's just that Xu Shiqiu didn't expect that this decision of his would make Xu Yanzhu almost unwilling to go home.
