Tomorrow is the Begging Festival. In the East Market, the West Market, and the Middle Street, goods suitable for the begging festival are sold everywhere. Even the trees on the side of the road were dressed up in red and green, and they were dressed up with joy.

Cheng Yu is going back to the border after the festival. He has been widowed for many years, not only because he has feelings for his first wife, but also because he is ashamed of his wife and daughter, and he is unwilling to continue the strings. Now although his daughter is back, he is unwilling to change his habits for many years. After resting for a month, he felt that the grass was growing all over his body, and he was eager to return to Xuanfu Town as soon as possible.

"This year, there have been several victories on the border, and Tatar and Warat have sent envoys to show their goodwill, and as soon as the emperor is happy, he will reward the meritorious heroes. Yesterday was the last day before the festival, and the emperor also gave marriage to the children of the two courtiers. "Mr. and Mrs. Sun rarely go out shopping today, and they come to the house and gossip when they come in.

"Ahh Li Shilang of the Ministry of War is so worried, his daughter has been promised since she was a child, although the man has not been officially hired, both families know that they have passed the clear road. The emperor got married this time, and promised Miss Li to Lord Lu's son, isn't this messy? Mrs. Sun continued to gossip to:

"We only heard before we went out that Miss Li threw herself into the river last night, saying that she had already fallen in love with the son of the Xu family who had promised to be married, and she cried by the river for half the night!"

"Alas! It's a great beating. Cheng Yu shook his head and sighed: "I can't hold this trouble on Lord Lu's face, I will marry in the future, don't have mustard." ”

I only heard Mrs. Sun smile and said, "That's it!" Marrying a daughter is worried that her in-laws and husband will treat her badly and be bullied in her husband's family. We have been in Haitang for a few years, I don't know if General Cheng has a favorite person now? ”

Cheng Yu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Begonia has just come back, we are fortunate to renew the fate of father and daughter, I want to keep her for two more years and enjoy the family." It's not too late to wait until she's seventeen years old. ”

"My daughter is a caring little padded jacket, but it's a pity that we don't have a daughter, otherwise I would be reluctant to marry her." Sun Yang stroked his beard in agreement.

Mrs. Sun nodded, "That's the same reason, then I have a number in my heart." Didn't I see that Miss Li was pitiful, and I was afraid that the emperor would raise up a mess of mandarin duck music and mistake Begonia's life! ”

"There is another incident, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, I want to take Begonia to the palace for a walk, see more of the world, meet some girls in the Beijing circle, and meet someone with eyes, which is also convenient for her to make sisters and friends." Mrs. Sun thought about it and said.

Cheng Yuzuo smiled and said: "You are the begonia stepmother, these things about raising boudoir girls, I really know six out of seven, I don't know anything!" I can't ask for my stepmother's trouble! ”

Sun Yang smiled: "You don't have to thank her, she should thank you." For many years, she has been envious of other daughters' various tricks, her son ignored her, and now there is a begonia for her to play, I don't know how happy she is. ”

Mr. and Mrs. Sun came to visit, and someone had already gone in to inform the begonia, and before Mr. Sun's voice fell, the begonia had already arrived in the main hall.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, tomorrow is just the holiday, but you are in a hurry." Haitang stood beside Mrs. Sun with a smile and was held up by Mrs. Sun.

"Your stepmother wants to come out to see the excitement, but she doesn't want to walk! Tomorrow there will be a lot of people on the street, and there will be no carriage to walk, so I will come out early today. Master Sun explained with a smile. The relationship between the couple is very good, Haitang feels that the husband and wife should be like this, and thinks that if the mother is still there, and the father will be like this.

"Your stepfather, that's teasing you! At the end of this year, your brother-in-law is about to get married, and in the past two years, his quasi-father-in-law's family has been weak, and we want to prepare more things to add makeup to his future daughter-in-law. Today, taking advantage of the fact that there are many holiday goods in the store, I came out to shop, and I also picked a few pieces when I met him. ”

After talking for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Sun got up to say goodbye.

Haitang thought that she would find an opportunity to try to take the prepared pills to the pharmacy and sell them, and if she had silver in her hand, she also wanted to add two makeup to her sister-in-law.

"What do you think, fool!" The brother came in to see her dumbfounded, and went over and patted her on the head.

"Aren't they all stupid by you? I told my father to go! Begonia said with a glaring eye and puffed out his cheeks.

Han Bai was not afraid of her, and said unhurriedly: "That...... Your begging gift has arrived, do you still want to see it? At this time, your brother-in-law is not in the capital, and you don't have other brothers to accompany you out! ”

Haitang immediately posted it to flatter: "My brother is the best brother in the world, and my righteous brother is second." I was stupid myself, but my brother slapped it, and I was fine. Brother, you are really able to get rid of the disease and rejuvenate your hands! ”

Cheng Hanbai laughed and led his living treasure sister out of the house. Last month, he ordered a pony carriage for his sister, and the two little girls sat just right. This pony carriage is small but sturdy, and you can go directly to the second door to get on and off the train, and it is more convenient for my sister to go out.

Half a month ago, he asked his sister what he wanted for a gift for the Begging Festival, and she said she wanted a horse. Hanbai asked someone, the largest horse farm in Kyoto, is actually the property of the prince.

Han Bai grinned and asked Yu Shizi to buy a horse.

As soon as Yu Shizi heard that it was a gift for Begonia, he was really sleepy and met the pillow, which was exactly what he wanted! So he asked someone to rush to pick a group of Dawan horses into Beijing, and just sent someone to Chengfu to say:

Good horses have been obtained.
