The next day, Bai Qiuluo took people back to the outskirts of Beijing.

Bai Zixin and Ding Shan went to the field, while Chen Ping was drying clothes in the yard.

Bai Qiu fell into the door and saw Chen Ping drying clothes, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Mother, I'll help you." Bai Qiuluo shouted.

When Chen Ping heard the voice, he immediately looked back at Bai Qiuluo, and his face was dyed with surprise.

"Haven't you only been gone for two or three days? Why did it suddenly come back again? Chen Ping asked.

Bai Qiuluo helped Chen Ping straighten out the sheet and helped her hang it up.

"Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, I'll come back to spend the holiday with you and my father." Bai Qiuluo responded.

"Ah, don't you have something to do when you go back to Beijing? I thought you had something to do and didn't have time to spend the holidays with us. Chen Ping was surprised.

Bai Qiuluo looked at her and pouted: "So you already knew that tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you still watched me go at that time, and you didn't leave me." ”

"You are a busy man, how dare I keep you, isn't this afraid of delaying your business."

Bai Qiuluo said seriously: "Mother, don't say that, it's also a big deal to celebrate the festival with you." As for the side, it's not a matter of life and death, everything can be put down. ”

Chen Ping's heart warmed when she heard this, and she responded in a low voice.

"Well, it's my mother who wants to go wrong, it's okay if you come back, let's make moon cakes together in the evening, and eat them tomorrow." Chen Ping said with a smile, very happy in her heart.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival, and being able to sit together as a family and have dinner with Meimei is the greatest satisfaction for Chen Ping.

Originally, when Bai Qiuluo said that she was going to leave two days earlier, she wanted to stop it.

But Bai Zixin said that Bai Qiuluo had grown up and had her own things to do, so she asked her not to interfere and stop her.

Only then did she endure her emotions and let Bai Qiuluo leave.

I didn't expect Bai Qiuluo to come back by himself today.

I think she was a little confused, and she didn't realize that tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she would go back to the capital.

The mother and daughter took advantage of the good sun to dry their clothes and quilts, and then entered the house together.

Then the mother and daughter went into the kitchen, mixed noodles, prepared the filling, and planned to make mooncakes.

When Bai Zixin and Ding Shan came back, they saw that Bai Qiuluo was also in the house, and the two were equally surprised.

Knowing that Bai Qiu fell into Beijing and didn't have anything to do, he came back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, and the two of them were very happy.

That night, the four of them tinkered with mooncakes in the kitchen together, chatting, and the atmosphere was also very good.

For dinner on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Qiuluo and Chen Ping have been busy since the afternoon, cooking a lot of dishes, and with the moon cakes made yesterday, the four of them set up a table in the courtyard and put the wine and food, the two men drank, and Chen Ping and Bai Qiuluo ate vegetables, and Ding Shan came out of Xiaoxi Village with Bai Qiuluo and their family, and it was particularly interesting to get together and chat.

Bai Qiuluo looked up at the bright moon hanging above his head, and at the same time he was a little disappointed and missed.

It would be even better if Shao Nanchu was also there.

And Shao Nanchu, who was worried about Bai Qiuluo, was in Prince Gong's mansion at this time to accompany the old prince and them to eat together.

Prince Gong's Mansion has experienced the changes of Li Fenya and Shao Nanting, and there are quite a few people who are withered and the courtyard is deserted.

At the top of the hall sat the old prince and the old princess, and then sat Shao Jindong and Shao Jinwei on the left and right, and then Shao Nanchu.

Originally, there should have been a Ji Rufang, but because Shao Nanting died, and he didn't treat Ji Rufang much during his lifetime, plus Ji Rufang didn't leave a son and a half daughter, so Ji Rufang proposed to leave, and the old prince also released him.

There were obviously five people, and there were many subordinates next to them, but the hall was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

After a while, the old prince spoke: "Let's eat." ”

It wasn't until he opened his mouth that the few began to eat.

The family ate silently.

After eating two bites, the old prince felt that he had no appetite.

He put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Shao Nanchu and the others who were still eating.

"Today's full moon, it's rare for our family to get together and have a drink together." The old prince spoke.

As his words fell, he called out to his subordinates to come forward and pour the wine.

Then, all four men had an extra glass of wine in front of them.

With the old prince taking the lead, Shao Nanchu and they had no choice but to raise a glass.

"May our Prince Gong's Mansion get better and better, cheers." The old prince said.

Shao Nanchu's face was cold, but a hint of amusement rose in his heart.

He didn't know what the old prince meant by these dry words, he just felt that he was quite embarrassed to listen to.

It's a pity that on such a night, he can't enjoy the moon with his family.

Shao Nanchu quietly deserted.

He missed her.

After a glass of wine, several men felt warm in their bellies, and it seemed that the atmosphere in the hall was much better.

Prince Gong's Mansion has rules, but whenever there is a New Year's holiday, the old prince does not leave the table, and others have to stay on the table after eating, waiting for the old prince to leave, and then he can leave the table.

If it was in previous years, the old prince would not deliberately stay longer, and take the initiative to give up the place to the juniors after a meal, so that the juniors can be more relaxed.

However, this year, Prince Gong's Mansion has undergone great changes, and there are few people now, and they are all rough old men, and the relationship between them is not very good, so the old prince simply stayed and forcibly pressed them to contact.

The old prince first looked at Shao Nanchu and said: "Nanchu is now in his twenties, others don't say that children are in pairs at your age, but you have already married a wife and started a family, shouldn't your life's major events also be put on the agenda?" Do you have a girl you like right now? If so, go back and ask your grandmother and your mother to help you manage it, and solve the lifelong problems as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you grandfather for your concern, I already have a sweetheart, but she is still young now, and when she arrives, I will call my mother to come to the door to propose." Shao Nanchu said lightly.

Although he didn't care what the people in Prince Gong's Mansion thought, since the old prince asked, he would not avoid talking about it, but told the truth.

He would never hide Bai Qiuluo's existence, he would deliberately hide it for her safety before, but now that Prince Gong's Mansion no longer has the threat of Li Fenya and Shao Nanting, he is naturally willing to respond generously.

When the old princess heard that Shao Nanchu had a sweetheart, her eyes suddenly lit up, she hurriedly straightened up, and asked, "Do you have a sweetheart?" Not yet? Which girl is it? Tell your grandmother, and I'll go back and look at each other, and if it's appropriate, I'll settle it down first. ”

In the old princess's mind, since Shao Nanchu fell in love with a girl from another family, she must be a girl from a wealthy family, so she is so positive.

However, in the next moment, Shao Nanchu poured a basin of cold water on her body.

"It's not a family lady, she's just an ordinary peasant girl." Shao Nanchu said.

"What? Peasant girl? So how does that work? The old princess said subconsciously.

Shao Nanchu said calmly: "I married her just because I have her in my heart, my other half, I don't need to be powerful in the family, as long as it is according to my heart." ”

"Nan Chu, you are now shouldering the hope of the entire Prince Gong's Mansion, you can't be willful, this wife still has to be the right person. Otherwise, if I marry a peasant girl and come back, the little family is uninformed, how can I rest assured that the human relations in this palace will be handed over to her in the future? Wouldn't it ruin to give it to her? ”

When Shao Nanchu heard this, his expression became even colder.

said lightly: "My wife, as long as I like it, she doesn't need to bear the face of Prince Gong's mansion." If grandmother minds so much, then let Prince Gong marry another princess and come back to take care of the palace. ”

Shao Jindong, who was sitting quietly on the side, was innocently implicated, and suddenly became angry.

He slapped the table hard: "Rebel, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

If he just knew the truth about Sun Ruiying's frame-up, he still felt guilty about Shao Nanchu, and felt that he had treated Shao Nanchu badly for so many years.

So when Shao Nanchu helped Sun Ruiying reconcile with him, he saw that Shao Nanchu was not pleasing anywhere.

looked at him unpleasantly, Shao Nanchu also pulled the war on him, he can be happy, there are ghosts.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Isn't your grandmother showing you the next lady these days? Shao Nanchu's face was sad and joyless, and his expression was extremely indifferent.

Because Sun Ruiying and Shao Jindong reconciled, and Li Fenya also died, Shao Jindong can be said to be alone at the moment.

The old princess couldn't see that her baby son was middle-aged but alone, so she wanted to renew Shao Jindong's strings.

Although she didn't do it publicly, Shao Nanchu also knew it.

"This ......" The old princess was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your father doesn't know about this, it's me who is tossing around, Nan Chu, don't blame him." ”

"Really? Oh, I don't care, he can marry whoever he marries. Shao Nanchu replied lightly, his face was indifferent, it seemed that Shao Jindong had nothing to do with him.

Don't think he doesn't know, Shao Jindong has obviously gone to see several women.

Shao Nanchu thought disdainfully.

The old princess didn't dare to stimulate Shao Nanchu anymore, for fear that he would continue to ask, so she looked at Shao Jinwei and said: "Nanchu is still young, the marriage can be postponed and then discussed, Jinwei, you are not a big person, is it true that you plan to live alone for the rest of your life?" ”

"Mother, what do you say I do? I'm fine now. Shao Jinwei was drinking, coughed when he heard the words, and said busily.

At this time, he died unjustly.

Obviously he didn't do anything, why did the war burn on him?

"What's good? Are you going to die alone and not even a posterity? Unfilial piety has three nos, do you want to be an unfilial son? The old prince also reprimanded angrily.

The crime of unfilial piety is too big, and Shao Jinwei thinks he can't bear it.

Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Shao Jinwei said: "Father, mother, although I don't have a queen, doesn't the eldest brother have Nanchu?" It's enough for this palace to have the inheritance of Nanchu, so I don't have to join in the fun, hehe. ”

He didn't want the power of Prince Gong's mansion, and he didn't necessarily have to keep a child out.
