Approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, every household is preparing for the festival. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoPrepare livestock, tie kites, set swings, soak male yellow wine, there are people selling zongzi and salted eggs on the street early, and the air is wafting with the fragrance of zongzi leaves from morning to night.

Coincidentally, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival was the 80th birthday of Zhao Chonghua's great-grandmother.

Some time ago, many state capitals were hit by rain, and Sheng Shang and Zhao Ge Lao and other important ministers were so busy that they finally transferred 1 million taels of disaster relief funds from all over the country. Most of the affected land has been replanted before the start of summer, and the rest has been coordinated and persuaded by the government to change the deep-rooted planting habits and bring in fruit trees, medicinal herbs and other materials from the neighboring state capitals for planting.

This sudden disaster was basically solved.

Now that the situation has just improved, Zhao Ge's 80th birthday, Zhao Ge Lao didn't want to do it in a big way. Unexpectedly, the saint actually mentioned this matter in front of the civil and military officials, and bluntly said that he wanted to go to the Zhao Mansion to congratulate him on his birthday.

Even the saints have to come in a big way, how can the civil and military officials not go to the venue? At that time, there will be a lot of guests, and if they don't want to do it in a big way, they will have to do it in a big way.

The Zhao Mansion has been preparing nervously and busily since half a month ago, and Zhao Chonghua also asked Mrs. Zhao to bring it back to the mansion to help. It wasn't until the day before his birthday that he stole half a day's leisure, and came to the Guogong Mansion by sending Dou Niang to Mulan.

As soon as he saw Mulan's face, he began to complain, "...... My mother is the best at instructing people, telling me to do this for a while, and asking me to do that for a while, and these days have made me tired and thin. ”

Mulan couldn't help laughing, "Why didn't I see that you were thin, aren't you still chubby for nothing?"

"Where is the white fat?" Zhao Chonghua rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his white arm, and handed it to her, "Look, you see, my arm is thin." ”

"Yes, yes, are you wronged?" Mulan pulled up her sleeves for her, turned her head and instructed Ruixi, "Bring the five poison cakes we just made and make up for Miss Zhao's good life." ”

Zhao Chonghua couldn't hold back a smile, "You're too picky, just send me with the Five Poison Cakes?"

Mulan blinked, "Why don't I kill a pig for you?"

"you. Zhao Chonghua pushed her, "I think you're using me as a pig." ”

After a few jokes, he inquired again, "By the way, aren't you embroidering my great-grandmother's forehead as a birthday gift?"

Now it's Mulan's turn to complain, "Don't mention it, Ruixi and they embroidered well, and as soon as I took it, I left the way." After embroidering for several days, the fabric has ruined many young and old, and not even a decent blessing pattern has been embroidered.

I can see that I was not born to be a material for needlework!"

Zhao Chonghua fell on the couch laughing, holding his stomach and screaming pain. After a while, he stopped, and wiped the tears of laughter with a handkerchief, "When I go back and learn this to my mother, I see that she always says that there is no one more stupid than me in the world?"

Mulan sighed softly, although Mrs. An told her through Hongyu's mouth that it didn't matter if the female red was not fine, and the Guogong Mansion would not even be able to afford a needlework room. But she thinks that female popularity is one of the necessary survival skills for women, and it is better to learn than not to learn. Even if you can't embroider an object like Ruixi and them, it will be like a handicraft, at least to the extent that your clothes can be repaired decently, right?

In the past, she always felt that as long as she worked hard, there was nothing she couldn't do, but now she knows that some things really can't be done with hard work.

In two lifetimes combined, it was the first time she felt that she was so stupid.

Zhao Chonghua saw that she didn't speak for a long time, and touched her with his elbow, "I said you are stupider than me, are you angry?"

"Nope. Mulan came back to her senses and smiled at her, "I'm just worried." ”

"Oh, what's there to worry about?" Zhao Chonghua would be wrong, just think that she was for the birthday gift, and give her an idea, "Just ask Ruixi and them to help you embroider, you just tie two stitches."

There are a lot of people who give gifts, and my great-grandmother is old and her eyes are not good, so you will not be able to look at them carefully one by one?"

Mulan nodded at her with her hand, "Wow, it turns out that you fooled your old birthday star like this, look at me tomorrow when I see Zhao Lao Taijun, can I reveal your bottom?"

"Are you stupid to me?" Zhao Chonghua threw the handkerchief in his hand and glanced at her by the way, "My great-grandmother knows that I am not good at needlework, and I gave her embroidery work, didn't I tell her that I didn't do it myself?"

Hearing her say this, Mulan was a little curious, "Then what are you going to give as a birthday gift?"

"A jade gourd, carved by a famous jade craftsman, has a birthday chart on it. Zhao Chonghua's expression was a little proud, "This was originally my second brother's idea, so I grabbed it, and he burned another set of Shouwen tea utensils." ”

mentioned her second brother, she remembered one more thing, and whispered in Mulan's ear, "I overheard my mother talking to my father, it seems that the eldest princess of Chengxuan is revealing her mouth and wants to marry the county lord of Xianghe to my second brother." ”

Mulan was taken aback when she heard this, "Your father and your mother are willing?"

She hasn't seen Zhao Chonghua's second brother, but she has heard Zhao Chonghua mention it a few times, and it is said that he is both civil and military, gentle and elegant, filial and loves his sister, and he thinks he is a good boy. If it weren't for this, Princess Cheng Xuan would only be afraid that she would not look down on him, and the families of the two families would be a good match.

The problem is that the lord of Xianghe County likes Du Shunwen.

Mrs. Zhao didn't know about this, but Zhao Chonghua knew. With her temperament, when she heard that Princess Cheng Xuan intended to give the county lord of Xianghe to her second brother who loved her the most, she would definitely be unable to help but say it.

After that, he asked, "Did you tell them about that?"

"I told my mother in private. Zhao Chonghua wrinkled his nose unhappily, "My mother told me not to mention that incident in the future, especially not to tell my second brother, otherwise she won't recognize me as a daughter." ”

Mulan knew in her heart, Mrs. Zhao also liked this family business when she thought about it, and planned to turn a blind eye. After all, no matter who looks at it, there is no possibility between the county lord of Xianghe and Du Shunwen.

The daughter raised by Princess Cheng Xuan, even if she thinks about a foreign boy, she will not do anything that violates the etiquette law. And in the eyes of Mrs. Zhao, her own son is a hundred times better than the nest of Wei protons, and she is not afraid that he will not be able to hold the heart of the county lord of Xianghe.

The Zhao family and the princess's mansion have only advantages and no disadvantages, and there is really no need to give up a good marriage because the little girl's family is confused for a while.

She didn't want to comment too much on other people's affairs, so she smiled and said, "Congratulations, there will be a second sister-in-law soon." ”

Zhao Chonghua looked disdainful, "I'm not rare." ”

When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Mulan's arm, "Why don't you be my second sister-in-law?"
