Chapter 443: Family Banquet, Pregnant
Qiu Yue called her mother and recognized Wu, and her mother Wu's tears surged again. Qiu Ping also looked at the legendary eldest sister, she felt that the eldest sister was so good-looking than the fairy in the painting, and her clothes were much better than the eldest lady of the Yang family in the village, especially the mink shoulders on the upper body, white and soft, I really wanted to touch it, if she could have such a dress, she would be willing to live ten years less.
Qiu Ping didn't dare to be too intimate with her eldest sister in the end, and Wu didn't know what to say to her strange daughter.
"Mother, where is my father?"
After all, Qiu Yue had seen a big scene, and she was the first to break the silence. When the clinker's voice landed, Wu Shi sighed for a while, and Qiu Ping couldn't help but redden.
"It's been seven years since he left, and he was tired of carrying stones to support his family, and he vomited blood and had no money to see a doctor, so it didn't take long for him to be unable to bear it."
Akizuki basically has no impression of her deceased father, and hearing the news of his death is more sad than sad.
"Did you get an earthquake at home?" Qiu Yue asked again.
Wu nodded, and Qiu Ping said to her, "The house at home has collapsed, my mother and I have no home, and no one asks us to work, so we will beg for food all the way......"
Wu didn't want her youngest daughter to tell her eldest daughter this, but she couldn't say it, as a mother, how could she not want her children to be fed and warmly clothed? She is just afraid that her eldest daughter will be difficult to do, and at the moment of natural disasters, who is willing to take in two mouths for eating?
"Little sister, you sat next to me." Qiu Yue said to Qiu Ping with some pity, grabbing Qiu Ping's hands that were frozen like swollen pig's trotters and full of tears, she felt more and more sad.
Qiu Ping was nervous and curious, the eldest sister's hands were as white as green onions, didn't she have to work?
"You go to the disaster area with me first, and then go back to the capital with me when things are done." Qiu Yue held Qiu Ping's small hand and said.
Qiu Ping's eyes suddenly lit up, she and her mother no longer had a home. These days, they have slept in broken temples and streets, and the winter wind blows on their faces like knives, how miserable is it?
"I can do many, many jobs, and I'm very energetic." The skinny Qiu Ping finally said what she wanted to say, and then she asked again, "You...... How many cows do you have at home? ”
Qiu Yue actually felt that she couldn't keep up with this little girl's train of thought, she couldn't help but think of Chen Xu's words, this thinking was all jumping.
"Won't it make it difficult for you?" Wu asked with some concern.
Qiu Yue shook her head. Wu wanted to say something but didn't. The atmosphere of silence once again circulated in the trio room.
"Is he good to you? How have you come through all these years? Wu suddenly asked.
Qiu Yue nodded without thinking about it, "Childe is very good to me......"
Outside the door, Meng Yao heard Qiu Yue say that she was just Chen Xu's maid, and she couldn't help but pouted and chatted to Chen Xu, "You said that she said this is not a shame!" ”
"Smack!" What answered her was a slap from Chen Xu......
**********************************
Although Chen Xu is not powerful in the world, he can also be called a supreme minister, and it is too late for his mother-in-law to scold him, he doesn't need to deliberately lower his posture. Of course, Chen Xu is different from others after all. The consciousness of equality of everyone in the previous life has been integrated into the bones, and the Wu family is the mother of his daughter-in-law - this is shelved in the previous life, and it is definitely like a flood of beasts - it is still very necessary to give others the wind and dust.
Considering the urgency of disaster relief, it is not appropriate to do it on a large scale. Otherwise, the impeachment of him will definitely fly into the palace in front of the orthodox emperor's bookcase, and he can think of it with his ass.
The reception banquet is in the local post house, just an ordinary lunch, and there are no outsiders. For example, Hu Lai and the like.
"Xianggong ......"
Qiu Yue saw Chen Xu ordering someone to do it, and she was so moved that she wanted to cry.
"If you want to say thank you, I'll see you, and I have to thank my mother-in-law for giving me such a virtuous wife."
Qiu Yue was a little embarrassed. Meng Yao pouted, "Isn't that person virtuous?" Yingying's sister is not virtuous. ”
Chen Xu took a deep breath, and then Meng Yao hid behind Qiu Yue......
Home-boiled sea bass, beef with spiced sauce, bacon and eggplant......
The aristocratic class is a very homely meal, and the eyes of the Wu mother and daughter are round, are these things really edible? Especially Qiu Ping, she couldn't stop swallowing her saliva while looking at Qiu Yue pitifully.
"Xiao Qiuping, it's all a family, don't be so restrained," Chen Xu beckoned everyone to the table, and he said to Wu, "Mother-in-law, you should treat this as your own home, the son-in-law went to the earthquake area on business at the order of the emperor, and the mother-in-law went to the disaster area with the son-in-law first......"
The Wu family had already accepted Qiuyue's arrangement, and when she heard Chen Xu say that she had been ordered by the emperor, she almost had to stand up. The Wu family has struggled at the bottom of society for most of her life, and the county princess is unattainable in her heart, and the emperor is almost the same as the real dragon, only in legends and dramas.
Now that she heard that her son-in-law was directly sent by the emperor, could it be that he was actually Lord Qincha? How is this possible? How could Chincha-sama fall in love with her daughter? She's just a maid of the Ling family.
"Xiao Qiuping, try this pumpkin button meat pot." Chen Xu looked at Qiu Ping bowing her head and gulping down the rice, and he gave her a piece of pumpkin with some pity, this pumpkin belongs to the tribute paid by Fanbang, it is extremely precious, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. He was just about to talk about the origin of the pumpkin, but considering that telling Qiu Ping was tantamount to playing the piano to a cow, he simply sandwiched a large piece of pork belly and sent it to her bowl.
Qiu Yue watched her little sister chew a piece of meat and wanted to swallow it with her tongue, and she suddenly retched.
"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?"
Sai Huatuo was at the dinner table, he checked Qiuyue's pulse, and then said to Chen Xu: "Chen boy, you are going to be a father again." ”
"Third child, you can do it," Feng Che patted Chen Xu on the shoulder, "but it's a little worse than me." ”
Ling Yuehua and Kuang Yuhan congratulated Qiuyue, only Meng Yao pouted and didn't say a word, but her expression was a little sunny and cloudy, and she wanted to rain.
As for Chen Xu, it can be described as a mixed blessing. Qiu Yue didn't say it, Chen Xu knew that she actually wanted a girl, and now that she was successfully conceived, there was at least half of hope; What is worried is that she is about to go to the disaster area, Qiuyue really can't afford to toss, but if she wants to send her back to the capital, she is not very relieved, the other side of the flower is not a vegetarian.
Then, Chen Xu thought that his reproductive ability was a little stronger, according to the knowledge known by later generations, a man has a drop of sperm? There are hundreds of millions of sperm in the liquid? Son, he was glad that the egg cell was so specific that it was outrageous, otherwise hundreds of millions of offspring would surround him every once in a while and call him daddy and want to eat, and he thought he would go crazy......
Gossip is less, and the book is back to business.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, someone came to report that the local prefect asked to see him.
"Let's take someone to the guest room first."
Chen Xu commanded, and then he saw his mother-in-law, whom he had just recognized, sit on the ground with a "plop" sound...... (To be continued......)
