On the first day of opening, Jiao Wanwan was a little nervous, after so many years, she had long understood that ancient and modern people have different perceptions of various things. Three years and one generation gap, this is several three hundred years behind, and the generation gap is not one or two.

Therefore, she is also worried about whether these things she makes will be disliked.

After eating early in the morning, she was a little absent-minded, Zhao Defang was not at home, she sat in the room restlessly for a while, and she couldn't sit still, so she simply got up and prepared to go to the amusement park to have a look.

The park is separated, for those under seven years old, there is no male and female area, and for those over seven years old, it is divided into two parts. In every place, there are several mothers-in-law and maids guarding it. Tong guò Mei Niangzi, Jiao Wanwan also recruited a few female dart masters, anyway, the security work must be the best.

"Princess, there are a lot of children here today." Seeing Jiao Wanwan coming in, the little guy at the door hurriedly greeted her, and asked Jiao Wanwan to look at the rest of the tickets with a smile.

It's only been open for a long time, two hours, right? Jiao Wanwan was ready to sell only one-third of it today, but she didn't expect that there was a big surprise.

"Where's the security team?" went to the other two places to take a look, Jiao Wanwan turned her head and asked, Fushun hurriedly went over to call someone, Hu Yong and Fushun were borrowed by Jiao Wanwan in the past two days. Not long after, Hu Yong led a small team of guards over, and a few people saluted, and stood respectfully to the side, waiting for Jiao Wanwan to speak.

"I told you before, this security work must be done well, Hu Yong, you do your best to bring out the security team here, twelve patrols a day, three hours to change shifts, a total of nine hours a day, irrelevant people, must not approach this playground, if the child goes the wrong way, must also be sent back in time, the children who can come here to play, the identity must not be ordinary, lose one or two, but no one can run."

Jiao Wanwan solemnly stated again: "If you do well and there is no mistake within a year, I will be rewarded at the end of the year." If you can make meritorious service, the reward will be doubled. Do a good job, my own affairs, I will not let you suffer, but if you are derelict in your duties, then don't blame me for being rude, you understand? ”

Several people hurriedly responded, and Jiao Wanwan waved her hand and motioned for people to go out first.

After waiting for a month, the heat at the time of the opening of the playground slowly faded, and the daily income began to stabilize. With the addition of tickets, the income from snacks and gadgets in the park can earn 800 taels per month.

Don't underestimate eight hundred taels, Jiao Wanwan's marriage shop has a very good business, and she can only earn eight hundred taels a year.

Now that the business is stable, Jiao Wanwan began to prepare for the women's leisure club again, the name is chosen first, and people must know that it is a place for women to play as soon as they hear it, and it can't fall into clichés, let alone smell of wind and dust, and nothing like a peony garden or anything like that.

It's a pity that Jiao Wanwan is a waste material, just look at the names of a few maids around her. After thinking about it for several days, he couldn't settle a word, so he simply went to Zhao Defang for help.

Zhao Defang pondered for a while, picked up a pen and wrote two words on the paper - Xinyuan.

Jiao Wanwan blinked: "Isn't it a little too simple?" Look at those restaurants in the capital, aren't they all called Baiwei Lou gluttonous buildings or something? In terms of the number of words alone, Xinyuan has one less word, and it is a little less imposing to read. ”

Zhao Defang nodded her forehead: "What do you want to do with such a big momentum?" It's not to compete with others, since it's a place for leisure and fun, it's naturally how easy it is. Moreover, Xin has the meaning of prosperity and happiness, the former wishes you a lot of money, and the latter names the essence of your club, isn't it a good name? ”

But one word, how can Zhao Defang explain it so much, so that it is particularly lofty?

Jiao Wanwan stared at the name sideways for a while, and she really couldn't think of a better one, and it was just two words, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt the taste, and finally happily clapped: "Then use this name, I'll find my mother to write a name and hang it outside the villa." ”

Zhao Defang shook his head: "You still don't go to your mother." ”

Jiao Wanwan blinked, Zhao Defang glanced at her, a little speechless: "You might as well find a talented and famous lady to inscribe this name, use the name of the mother, be careful that there are so many people who come and go in the end." ”

Jiao Wanwan instantly understood that using the name of the Empress Dowager Song was like drawing a circle and limiting the guests to a certain range.

Okay, go back and ask which lady has the best handwriting, and then ask someone to write a plaque.

It's busy, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye. It's winter again, and the weather is particularly good this year, and it's a winter snow in December, and it rains for three days, and the ground is covered with a thick layer. When she woke up in the morning, Jiao Wanwan was lying in the quilt and didn't want to move, and yesterday she specially hugged the stinky boy over, Zhao Defang slept on the outside, and the stinky boy slept in the middle.

At this time, Jiao Wanwan woke up and pinched her little arm in the quilt, the child immediately laughed, and Jiao Wanwan pinched his cheek again: "Call Mother." ”

Lotus is smart, soon to be a year old, just learned to speak two days ago, although it is vague, but it does not prevent the father and mother of their own association, determined that it is calling Daddy, these two days from time to time teasing Lotus shouted twice.

She was also obedient, and shouted vaguely with a smile on her face: "Mother, mother, hungry." ”

Jiao Wanwan reached out and touched his belly, sure enough, it was a little flat, she herself ran out of milk two months ago, and she couldn't call the nurse in at this time, as soon as she turned her face, she saw Zhao Defang looking at the two of them with a smile, so she reached out and poked Zhao Defang: "Didn't you hear your son say that he was hungry?" You go get him something to eat. ”

Zhao Defang grabbed her finger: "Isn't it early, get up?" ”

"It's too cold outside to remember." Jiao Wanwan was a little reluctant, Zhao Defang directly dragged the bell at the head of the bed, and immediately a maid came in, holding clothes in her hands, all of which were smoked, and they were still hot inside, that is, it was a little cold when she just got out of the bed, so it was good to put on her clothes.

Zhao Defang dressed in twos and threes, and said while hugging the herbs: "Forgot that you are going to enter the palace today to talk to your mother about the first birthday banquet?" ”

With the meaning of the Empress Dowager Song, she must have wanted her precious grandson to catch Zhou in the palace, but Jiao Wanwan and Zhao Defang did not agree. At the beginning, the full moon banquet was because the official family did not have a son, and he entered the palace by means of a lotus root, and wanted to take Bai Meiren to give birth to a son.

But now, the official family has two sons, Bai Jieyu's eldest son of the emperor, and Xu Meisheng's second son of the emperor, and there is no need to go into the palace to take the son, even if he Zhao Defang is the brother of the official family, but if he is placed in the people, he is also a brother who has been separated, which brother will take his son to the brother's house to hold a birthday banquet?

It's not that the emperor doesn't have a son, and after the New Year, the emperor's eldest son will also hold a birthday banquet. Let's not talk about whether the eldest son of the emperor can ascend the throne in the future, but the son of a prince cannot always be pressed on the head of the prince. It's okay to say once or twice, after a long time, not only the eldest son of the emperor will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, the couple planned to enter the palace and explain to the Empress Dowager Song that it would be more appropriate to hold this first birthday banquet at home.

Jiao Wanwan also remembered that there was such a thing, although she still didn't want to get up, but she had to force herself to get out of the bed. But he didn't know what he had to do, he just didn't want to come out, he rolled in a circle under the quilt and avoided Zhao Defang's hand, not wanting to be dragged out by Zhao Defang.

"Are you hungry? I'll give you something good to eat when it comes out, there are custards, and egg custard, and fish soup, what do you want to eat? Zhao Defang was very patient, coaxing the bear child to come out quickly: "Go see your grandmother, have you forgotten the delicious food at your grandmother's place?" Walnut crisp, glutinous rice balls, want osmanthus cake, do you want to eat it? ”

The lotus blinked its eyes, the little head couldn't turn in circles, and all the delicious things floating in it were all kinds of delicious food. Seeing that his own mother was also dressed, and he was left alone in the bed, he quickly opened his little hand to Zhao Defang and screamed twice.

Completely guessed, Zhao Defang raised his eyebrows: "Want to eat egg custard?" Okay, let the kitchen make it for you in a while, you can eat two bowls today! ”

The cocoon was overjoyed, hahaha applauded, Zhao Defang continued to guess: "Then do you want to eat something else?" Are chicken soup noodles good? ”

Jiao Wanwan didn't care about the father and son, and went to freshen up by herself. Lamei also got married in the autumn, and now the big girl next to her has been completely replaced, and her name level can't come up with a better sound, so she just pursues the meaning well, and the four maids slipped down, respectively, they are wishful peace and auspicious congratulations, all of them are little girls who are seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are pleasing to the eye when they look at it.

At this time, Gong Xi combed Jiao Wanwan's hair, and reminded in a low voice: "Princess Niangniang, you're already more than ten days late." ”

Jiao Wanwan didn't react at first: "What ten days?" ”

Without waiting for the congratulations to repeat, his hand was pressed on his stomach first: "It's really been ten days?" ”

Speaking of which, she is usually very accurate, at most it is two days off, never more than three days. This time it's because she's busy, it's the end of the year soon, it's time for the college to take exams again, and she has to look at the exam arrangements for each grade, as well as the ledgers of the playground and Xinyuan, as well as things like the stinky boy learning to talk and walk, I was still thinking about it at first, and I forgot it in the back of my head after more than five days.

At this time, I was reminded of congratulations and remembered that it had been more than ten days. I don't have to explain it, there should be only one reason.

"What are you talking about?" Just when Zhao Defang came over, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand at Gongxi, it has only been ten days, and she is not sure, so don't say it yet: "Eat breakfast and then enter the palace?" Last time, I heard that Princess Celestia was a little uncomfortable, do you want to prepare something else? ”

Since the third princess got married, she was canonized as the eldest princess, and the little princess Liuhua also changed her title, and now inside and outside the palace, when it comes to the queen's daughter, Princess Liuhua, is the eldest princess.

Zhao Defang nodded slightly: "You just look at the preparation." ”

After breakfast, the husband and wife entered the palace with the herbs. It was still a little early, and the queen and the concubines had not had time to disperse, Zhao Defang took a step back, saluted the Empress Dowager Song, turned around and left, leaving Jiao Wanwan with no choice but to say hello once.

The Empress Dowager Song took the first step to hold the lotus in her arms, and asked heartily: "What did you eat in the morning?" Is it delicious? Hungry or not? Would you like something else? Grandmother asked people to get some rock sugar pears, but it's sweet, can you drink some? ”

At this time, there are no out-of-season fruits and vegetables, they are all stored in the ice cellar, the amount is not large, even the Empress Dowager Song, it is impossible to say how much she wants to eat, but every time the Lotus enters the palace, the Empress Dowager Song will find a way to get some delicious for the Lotus to keep.

Although he didn't see him much, he was still very impressed by this grandmother who loved him very much, and he didn't have any rustiness at all, he leaned on the side of the Empress Dowager Song with a smile, drooling when he heard the delicious food, smirking and clapping his hands.

Jiao Wanwan couldn't stand that greedy look: "Mother, don't always get used to him......"

Empress Dowager Song waved her hand indifferently: "Who is he used to?" Is it going to get used to you? ”

Bai Jieyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed delicately: "The princess Niangniang said this, but the real person is jealous, who in this palace doesn't know, the queen mother's favorite is Xiao Langjun, that is, our emperor's eldest son, His Royal Highness, when he comes to Xiao Langjun, he has to give way, and he gets benefits......"

Queen Wang coughed vigorously and frowned at Bai Jieyu: "Didn't you say that you were uncomfortable before?" Since you are not feeling well, you don't have to stay here, go back and rest, you don't have to go out these days, take care of it, when your body is better, when you come back again. ”

"Queen Mother, I'm fine." Bai Jieyu was still as stupid as ever, but Queen Wang waved her hand impatiently: "Go back, the weather is cold, it doesn't matter if you get sick yourself, it's a sin to give the emperor's eldest son after illness, if you don't want to go back by yourself, I will let someone send you back." ”

said that there was no smile on her face, although Bai Jieyu was stupid, her face would still look at it, and she was a little dissatisfied, but she still snorted twice, got up and planned to go back. When I passed by Xu Meiren, I didn't know if I was dissatisfied with Xu Meiren's low-eyed appearance or what's going on, the handkerchief in my hand was about to be thrown on Xu Meiren's face, but Xu Meiren was so self-contained, her head tilted back, and then she lowered her head and said nothing.

Empress Dowager Song doesn't like these people to make small moves in front of her, besides, the baby grandson is in front of her, where is there time to pay attention to these women who have a lot of crooked ideas in their hearts? immediately waved his hand: "Since you have asked for peace, let's go back." ”

After a pause, he finally saved some face for Queen Wang: "The queen stays and accompanies my wife to talk." ”

After the official family went to the court, they all had to go to the Queen Mother to show their filial piety, so those concubines had to try their best to stay with the Queen Mother Song and wait to see the official family. In the past, the Empress Dowager Song didn't care about these things, but now they are not allowed to stay.

A few of them were dissatisfied with Bai Jieyu, who caused trouble, and didn't dare to say anything in front of the Empress Dowager Song, so they began to mumble when they went out.

"Sister Xu, are you just enduring Bai Jieyu like this? Isn't it just Jieyu? Sister Xu's position, isn't it about to rise up? is also a four-grade one, why be afraid of her? Someone knocked it down, but Mrs. Xu only smiled and waved her hand: "Sister Bai entered the palace earlier than me, don't be disrespectful." ”

Someone laughed and said: "Sister Xu, this is not a matter of entering the palace, you, you are too good, you are stepped on by Bai Jieyu like this, you just don't think about yourself, you have to think about the second prince, right?" Now the second prince has not gone to school, if he reaches the age of going to school, with a temperament like Bai Jieyu, if the eldest prince is learned, then won't the second prince become the object of his prestige? ”

Xu Meiren shook her head: "No, the official Shengming, I won't let Bai Jieyu teach His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor to be like that, okay, let's not talk about her, I just made some plum blossom tea some time ago, if you don't dislike it, come to me for a sip of tea?" ”

"Okay, Sister Xu's craftsmanship, I drool when I mention it." Immediately, someone cheered, and everyone talked and laughed and followed Xu Meiren back.

Queen Wang turned her head to look at Jiao Wanwan: "You haven't been in the palace for a few days, we Liuhua was still chattering two days ago, saying that you promised to bring her gadgets outside, if you don't come again, I see, she will go out of the palace to find you." ”

Empress Dowager Song said with a smile: "This girl is the one who likes her aunt the most, and the things her aunt gave her are all treasures in her heart, just a lump of dirt, and they will be treated as gold nuggets." ”

He said to the queen again: "Have you taken medicine today?" How's your body? Is there anything else uncomfortable? ”

"I still have some headaches, don't worry, don't worry, the illness is like a thread, you have to take your time, just rest for two days." Queen Wang hurriedly smiled, Jiao Wanwan also cooperated to comfort Queen Wang, and when the official over there brought Zhao Defang over, the Lotus had already killed a bowl of rock sugar pears, no, rock sugar frozen pears, very satisfied with her little belly spread on the soft couch of the Queen Mother Song, seeing that everyone was smiling.

The official family also liked it very much, stretched out his hand and rubbed the belly of the little fat man, turned his head and smiled: "It is really similar to you when you were a child, at that time, my father went down to the court, and brought me over to ask my mother to say goodbye, you are also like this, lying on the couch with a small belly, watching everyone laugh, very pleasing." ”

Zhao Defang was a little embarrassed, didn't answer this, Zhao Dezhao smiled and instructed the queen: "I'll have a drink with my fourth brother at noon, you can let people get some snacks, just make it simpler." ”

Queen Wang was busy responding, she happened to be idle today, so she simply made two side dishes by herself, and Jiao Wanwan also followed the trend. Empress Dowager Song has a small kitchen here, and the two of them went around the kitchen a few times, and sorted out six small dishes, and the rest had to be handed over to the chef.

After lunch, the official family went to the front palace, and Queen Wang wanted to go back to see her daughter, so she left Zhao Defang and his wife to talk to the Empress Dowager Song.

Zhao Defang explained his concerns one by one, although the Empress Dowager Song was a little disappointed, but she also knew that what her son said was very reasonable, so she had to sigh: "The first birthday banquet will be held in your own house, and when the time comes, I won't go, but in the second half of the ring, the guests dispersed, you have to bring the child over for me to see, it's also a birthday banquet, I'm a grandmother, how can I prepare a gift for my baby grandson, right?" ”

Taking a step back, Zhao Defang nodded hurriedly: "This is no problem, but don't wait too long, when the matter is over, I will take the child into the palace to see you." ”

After finishing business, Jiao Wanwan went to see the eldest princess with a gift. As soon as I arrived at the queen's place, I went to the inner room to see the eldest princess, left a gift, and said a few words of relief, when I heard the anxious voice of the maid outside: "Queen Mother, it's not good, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is sick." ”

Queen Wang frowned slightly: "Wouldn't it be better to go to the imperial doctor when I'm sick, will I not be able to diagnose the pulse?" ”

The maid didn't dare to come in at will, so she stood at the door and replied: "Xu Meiren has already sent someone to ask for a doctor, but the second prince is seriously ill, Xu Meiren is young and a little frightened, and there is a little ......mess over there."

"The condition is strict? What the hell is going on? Queen Wang hurriedly got up, Jiao Wanwan also wanted to get up, but moved, or sat down, after all, it was a matter of the official harem, it was not good for her to follow to see the excitement, besides, the eldest princess was also sick, children, psychologically fragile, her own mother was busy taking care of other people's children, no one to accompany her, quite pitiful.

So, Jiao Wanwan waved her hand at Queen Wang: "You just have to go, I'll accompany Liuhua here and wait for you to come back." ”

Queen Wang nodded reassuringly, and went out with the maid. Liuhua sighed like a little adult: "Mother is working hard, and I have to look for her for everything in this palace all day long, hey, it's not long since I finished lunch." ”

Jiao Wanwan couldn't help laughing, and reached out to rub her head: "You, take care of your illness, your body is well, your mother is happy, no matter how busy and tired you are, you can stand it, if you keep being sick, your mother will be tired sooner or later." When you're well, I'll take you to the amusement park? ”

Liuhua's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "Then let's talk about it, and auntie won't regret it when the time comes." ”

Jiao Wanwan nodded, and Liuhua pinched the quilt and dragged it up: "I heard the third aunt say that there are special storytellers in the amusement park, auntie, what are the good stories recently?" ”

In fact, it is the ones in the Three Character Sutra, but it was changed into a drama by Jiao Wanwan, too advanced Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale and the like, she didn't dare to take it out for fear of being complained by her parents.

Drama is still a new thing at this time, the lines are straightforward, the characters are vivid, almost all of them are similar to the real thing, and children still like it.

"Well, what kind of story would you like to hear?" Occasionally, Jiao Wanwan will also catch a knife and write a few short stories, and this is what Liuhua wants to hear: "It's the one you said last time, that fairy gave the little girl a flower, and then what?" ”

Jiao Wanwan thought about it for a while before remembering what she was talking about, and slowly began to speak: "Later, the fairy returned to heaven......
