Chapter 70: Soft Cotton
The family banquet was divided into two seats, and the men set up a table outside, drinking and chatting with Ke Youwei; The women accompanied the Wang family to set up a table inside, competing to tell interesting stories about the recent mansion.
Wang took Ke Xiyuan with one hand and Ke Xiqing with the other, and said to Lu, Mrs. Xia and Pan, "Today, the two granddaughters are sitting next to me!" You three are not allowed to eat it! ”
Lu Shi smiled and said, "The old lady should ask the third brother and sister not to eat it, this eldest aunt and fifth aunt are from our big room and second room." ”
Pan also smiled and said, "I don't eat it!" Now the six girls and the seven girls are by their mother's side every day, and the sisters are back, so it is supposed that the sisters should accompany their grandmother! ”
Wang nodded, "That's right!" These granddaughters who got married out make me remember it very much! Now that they are all doing well, I am relieved! ”
Mama Su walked in at this time, saw that the Wang family was in a good mood, thought about it and said, "Miss, over there in Yongning Bofu, the fourth aunt and grandmother ordered someone to send a four-color platter back, and sent a lot of nourishing things. said that he was not in good health, so he would not come back to reunite with his grandmother. ”
The atmosphere of everyone was condensed, Wang's smile was slightly reduced, and he waved his hand, "Remember to reward the mother-in-law who talks back and forth!" By the way, I also replied, taking care of your body is filial piety, and you don't have to rush back! Although Wang's words were gentle, they still made people feel a little chilly.
Mama Su nodded, and then withdrew.
Wang's good mood didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, and he said to Ba Ge, "You girl, quickly take out the fruit wine that I thought was good that day!" Let's drink some to warm up! ”
Hachige smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady, the wine is warm!" Just waiting for you to speak! ”
The big girl around Wang's side now has to have eight songs, and eight songs have become more and more favored by Wang's in recent years. It's no different from half a young lady. The Wang family wanted to marry her, but they were afraid of delaying her. But Eight Songs insisted on serving by Wang's side, and then cultivated some little girls by the way, and slowly trained a few clever ones.
"Grandmother, there are a few more new little girls here!" , Ke Xiyuan and Lu Jiarou got up and made an appointment to get fruit wine. I also want to take the opportunity for the two to be alone for a while.
"Mother looked at my grandmother and there were fewer people waiting for her. I want to pick a few grades of young but clever ones among the children at home, and now it looks a little bit! Don't say it, this girl of Eight Songs. Well done! Lu Jiarou touched her stomach, but there was a faint sadness in her eyes.
"Can you worry about the big brother's food?" , Ke Xiyuan grabbed Lu Jiarou's arm. Asked softly.
"Isn't it? I don't know how long it will take! I heard that Uncle Yu ......". Lu Jiarou thought of something, and seeing that Ke Xiyuan was not different, she secretly sighed that she was careless, and continued. "I went to the grain and didn't come back yet, and stayed on the front line. Your brother has always been a very strong man, and now he has always been unsuccessful in compiling in the Faculty of Letters! I'll look at it this time. He...... I don't know if I can make it to the birth of the child. ”
"Men are ambitious in all directions, while they are young. I also want to have a good future and create a better environment for you, Brother Qian and the children in the belly. Sister Rou, don't you always teach me not to hesitate when it's time to make a move? Ke Xiyuan helped Lu Jiarou, and the two sat down in the warm pavilion and scattered the waiting girl.
Lu Jiarou took Ke Xiyuan's hand, "I won't tell you, everyone in the family is very happy, but grandmother, mother and I ...... Most of the women are from the Taoist family, and they have conceived children with him, and they are even more attached to him! Alas...... That's it! I may have a body, but I can't figure it out as usual! Even today, when my aunt and grandmother came back, I couldn't help my temper! It's good that you broke the siege, thank you, Yuanyuan! ”
"You're still polite to me? If you're in a bad mood today, your grandmother and aunt will understand you! Did you bring enough packing for your brother? Especially emergency medicine! By the way, I brought a lot of emergency medicine given to me by Master and Mr. today, and I have written down the purpose in detail, you want your brother to take it, be prepared! Ke Xiyuan now often asks Ke Ying to go to Renyuan Temple to "grab" medicine, but there are also many bottles and cans. Knowing that Ke Huaizhi was going to go far away, he specially prepared some carefully.
"Yuanyuan, I don't know what to say!" , Lu Jiarou leaned her head on Ke Xiyuan, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief. The previous anxiety gradually calmed down, and it seemed to have figured out a lot.
"Alright, it's time for us to go out too! Or maybe he's going to find a chance to talk about it again! Lu Jiarou is afraid of Ke Xiqing, because of her sister, this aunt seems to like to get along with herself everywhere. Obviously, the cousin is an aunt and sister-in-law, so she should be more intimate, but she doesn't ...... at all
"She can only go back to the house to vent, it's not common, you don't have to mind. It's Sister Zhen'er, who is so well educated! At a young age, he can read words and feelings! Ke Xiyuan didn't miss Sister Zhen'er's appearance, and she liked this little girl very much.
"Sister Zhen was raised by her aunt and mother, so naturally she can't be wrong! My mother said that my aunt is the smartest, and she is several times more shrewd than her mother! You can see Sister Qing! She is young and sophisticated! Lu Jiarou thought of the pair of children beside her sister again, and said with some envy, "If my baby were a daughter, I would be fine!" ”
"My sister will make her wish come true!" , Ke Xiyuan patted Lu Jiarou's hand to comfort her, knowing that pregnant women think more and are prone to overthinking, "A qiē will definitely be smooth!" ”
Lu Jiarou looked at Ke Xiyuan, who seemed to have grown taller during the New Year, and suddenly thought of the fact that she had a miscarriage not long ago, "Yuanyuan, it's all my fault!" These days, something so big has happened to you, and I can't help you with anything! These days, Lu Jiarou is worried about Ke Huaizhi's need to charge food, but she really cares less about Ke Xiyuan.
"Don't worry! Sister Rou, I'm fine! Ke Xiyuan knows that with a family, many things can't be taken care of, and there are some.
Lu Jiarou's heart was full of guilt, her mind suddenly flashed, her face changed, she pulled Ke Xiyuan aside, leaned into her ear and whispered, "One day my mother came to see me and told me a rumor!" At that time, I wanted to write to you, but I thought it would be better to pass it on to you myself! Listen, that's it! ”
Seeing that Lu Jiarou's expression was so solemn, Ke Xiyuan shrugged her eyebrows, nodded, and heard Lu Jiarou whisper in her ear, "My mother said." Out of nowhere, some news came out that the fifth brother-in-law was not born to the second wife, but to the old man and the outer room on Tuesday, and then took him back to the house to raise. It's all because of the rules of the palace that no concubines are allowed, so the outer room finally died outside, and he couldn't enter the Loyal Uncle's Mansion. ”
Ke Xiyuan's body shook and looked at Lu Jiarou in disbelief. Seeing that she still had that stern expression. also knew that she was not laughing, but her heart quickly turned.
When the two returned to the table, Ke Xiyuan was already smiling. Calm down. It was Lu Jiarou who glanced at Ke Xiyuan from time to time worriedly. She knows that what big families care about most is blood. If it is born in the main room, it is naturally very noble. If the rumors are true. That Zhou Chenyu and Ke Xiyuan......
"Rou girl, why are you always absent-minded?". Wang's sharp eyes found that Lu Jiarou was not in a state, and felt a little sorry for her, thinking that after all, they were a young couple, and it was inevitable that they would be separated.
Lu Jiarou put down her chopsticks. Smiled and shook his head, "Nothing!" Thank you grandmother cares! ”
"This is also a sister, and the reaction of the younger sister and sister-in-law is too different. Sister-in-law should do the same thing every day. And brother-in-law, you are so bitter and bitter, and you say something unpleasant......"
"If the eldest sister doesn't say a word. Everybody will be smiling! Ke Xiyuan's eyes flashed with anger, and he soon realized that he was out of shape, but the arrow had already been sent out, and it was difficult to take it back.
"You're ......!" , Ke Xiqing's face turned crimson when she was said, she didn't expect Ke Xiyuan to block her words like this, and Ke Xiyuan's expression also surprised her. What did the two of them say when they left to get wine just now, which made the five sisters, who have always been calm, lose their proportions?
Mrs. Xia smiled and gave a piece of jade pork ribs to Ke Xiqing, "Aunt and grandmother are not strange!" Since these five aunts and grandmothers went out in distress with Zhi'er, they have respected this eldest brother very much! Now that Zhi'er is about to leave tomorrow, she is also two more worried! ", and looked at Ke Xiyuan again, "You kid, after drinking two more cups, you dare to talk to your big sister like this!" Don't make amends with your big sister? ”
Ke Xiqing's face looked much better, and she looked at Ke Xiyuan arrogantly, but what she thought in her heart was that if Ke Xiyuan dared not apologize, she would definitely not comply.
Ke Xiyuan glanced at Mrs. Xia gratefully, stood up, and bowed to Ke Xiqing in a dignified manner, "Eldest sister, don't be like your sister!" My sister apologized to my sister! ”
Ke Xilan, the seventh lady of the third room, who had not spoken, said lightly, "Big sister has always had a good reputation, how can she really be angry with you?" Fifth sister, your own sister, you don't need such a big gift! ”
Ke Xiyuan couldn't help but smile and straightened up, "The seventh sister grew up in the blink of an eye, and I, the elder sister, don't remember as much as you!" The big sister is the most generous, I actually forgot! ”
Ke Xiyuan felt that all the strength hit a ball of soft cotton, or two, and secretly clenched his fists with some resentment, and the smile on his face was also a little stiff, "What my sisters are talking about is that my own sisters, why do you need such a big gift!" Fifth sister, sister is just joking, you don't have to be nervous! Sit down and eat! ”
Ke Xiyuan deliberately glanced at Ke Xilan, and seeing that her gaze had returned to her bowl, she couldn't help but be a little curious about her seventh sister. All along, these sisters in the third room are amazing.
Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his daughter, and couldn't help the gloom in his eyes. In the end, I still spoil my daughter too much, so ......
The meal ended in this seemingly peaceful environment, and Wang pulled Ke Xiyuan to talk and talk, and finally waved his hand with red eyes, "Let's go back!" That's how it is to be a daughter-in-law, your mother-in-law should be blamed if it's late! ”
Ke Xiyuan saluted to the Wang family, the Lu family, Mrs. Xia and the Pan family, and her heart was a little sour, "Yuanyuan will go back now, please take care of your health!" ”
Mrs. Xia waved her hand, "Go!" ”
Ke Xiyuan helped him put on his cloak by Qiqiao, and when he walked out of the door, he was hugged by Ke Huaimin, "Sister! I miss you! ”
Ke Xiyuan realized that the little boy had grown a lot taller. patted Ke Huaimin on the back, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at, let go of me quickly!" ”
Ke Huaimin let go of Ke Xiyuan, and Ke Xiyuan saw clearly that he was taller and thinner, but he was more energetic, and his eyes were full of firmness.
"Just came back from the academy?" , Ke Xiyuan took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said angrily, "What are you doing so quickly?" ”
"I saw my brother-in-law at the door, and I knew you were going home, so I ran all the way here! Sister, when I encountered heavy snow on the road, I and a few classmates temporarily decided to study the spot for a few days, and by the way, I saw the scenery. Lingering in the scenery, it was a missed day to reunite with your family! Ke Huaimin was a little embarrassed, and kept carefully supporting Ke Xiyuan, "Sister carefully slide your feet!" ”
"The boy has ambitions in all directions, and you are not wrong about anything! I'll ask my grandmother for a while! Grandmother is getting older now, and I miss you by my side! Remember to spend a few more days with your grandmother! When will I go back to College? Ke Xiyuan was regretting that she couldn't see Ke Huaimin, and when she thought of Mrs. Xia's eyes glancing at the door from time to time, she knew that Mrs. Xia was waiting for Ke Huaimin.
"It's over fifteen! My husband gave us a vacation for more than a month, but I thought that after the fifteenth, I would go on the road with my classmates, and then travel all the way back to the college! Ke Huaimin has been out for a long time, and he has begun to have a wandering heart.
"Don't let my mother worry too much about you!" , Ke Xiyuan helped Ke Huaimin pull the collar, compared the length of his shoulders, and said with satisfaction, "I made you a few clothes, and I want to hand them over to Sixi, and I will go back to my mother's yard to try it later!" Yiying's shoes and socks are all made by Qiqiao and Jiuhui, and a few pendants are given to you, all of which are fine jade, you will like it! ”
"It's so cold, and you still do this for me! Don't do it later! You're good, I'm happy! Ke Huaimin saw that he was about to surpass his sister, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Seeing that he was about to go out of the second door, Ke Xiyuan patted him, "Go to grandmother!" There was such a big movement, and my grandmother was afraid that she would know that you were back! If you don't go again, grandmother should be angry! I'll go back, and before I go, go to my house to say hello to my wife and wife, and my sister will make something delicious for you! ”
Ke Huaimin also stopped, knowing that her sister wanted to see her maturity, she arched her hand, "Sister take care, in a few days, I will go to visit my sister in the house!" ”
Ke Xiyuan waved his hand, and then turned around and left with his sadness. My younger brother has really grown up!
On the other side, Yeonghwain
Wang opened the baggage sent by Ke Xiyuan, and saw that there were two sets of clothes, shoes and socks neatly placed inside, and couldn't help but smile and said, "In the end, Yuanyuan is this lovely girl!" Glancing at the ginseng antler that Ke Xiqing gave on the side, he couldn't tell the taste in his heart.
Lu Shi also looked at the set of underwear and embroidered handkerchiefs made by Ke Xiyuan himself in his hand, and the head jewelry in his other hand suddenly became very heavy.
It wasn't until the curtain was opened and a clear voice came to everyone's ears that they were in a better mood.
"Grandmother, Min'er misses you so much!" , An obviously long figure quickly walked in and knelt beside Wang. (To be continued)
