Chapter 537: Almond Syrup
On the side of the Jinling royal family, the Yuan family received a letter, and it was Wang Xifeng. Yuan couldn't wait to read the letter, and was very puzzled after reading it.
In the letter, Wang Xifeng said that this year is the fiftieth birthday of the Queen Mother, so this year's Shangyuan Festival will hold a grand lantern festival in Beijing. At that time, the Queen Mother will also come out to have fun with the people.
Wang Xifeng invited his grandmother and mother to come to Beijing to participate in the lantern festival, and the letter said: "The second uncle was released, and there was no one to guard the family in the capital. If the mother and grandmother can live for a while, it will be good to support the popularity of the second uncle's house. ”
Yuan looked at the words on the letter silently, as if he knew every word, but he couldn't understand every word.
To be honest, the Queen Mother's birthday is really important, but the Wang family has never seen anything, and her daughter will not use this as an excuse, and she invited herself to go to the capital to watch the Lantern Festival.
Here, I'm afraid that the person who invited is not himself, but the old lady, right?
Thinking of this, Yuan got up and went to Mrs. Wang, gave the letter to Mrs. Wang with a smile, and said to her: "It is said that the married daughter spilled the water, but this phoenix girl still thinks about us all the time." ”
Mrs. Wang read the letter and said, "Although you can't run so far for the lanterns, your second brother's house really has to be raised by popularity." It's just that your second brother has been out for all these years, so why did you write a letter now. ”
Yuan smiled: "Who knows? Xu is the third brother of the former son is still there, and now the third brother is released, is there no one at home?
"Besides, I really want to go to the capital and visit my in-laws' house by the way. A few months ago, my mother went back to Jinling to repair the ancestral house, and she didn't forget to bring Feng Yatou back to see, this favor should always be repaid. ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said: "That's right, if you can think about Feng Yatou like this, then the Xing family is indeed a good person." I haven't met her yet, so it's good to see her. That's it, you go and prepare, this is not allowed to move around during the New Year, we have to pass the year before the year. ”
Yuan answered, and when he returned to the courtyard, he instructed the maids to start packing. Within two days, Yuan followed Mrs. Wang on the road to Beijing.
The people of the Wang family have not yet arrived in the capital, and the Jia family is waiting for their grandmother to return home.
Li Kun was tired of traveling all the way, and fell ill as soon as he arrived at home. Sister Miao was taken care of by the Wang family personally, and invited the imperial doctor to take Li Kun's pulse.
As a result, Li Kun was fine, and a circle of female relatives in the family asked for a safe pulse again, but they found out a surprise.
That is Zhen Yinglian.
Everyone was happy, but Xing Shuang felt a headache.
She told Yinglian to be more careful, and also asked her son to remember contraception, but she didn't expect that her daughter-in-law, who was still harmful, would be pregnant with a child so early.
Yinglian was young when she got married, and she was pregnant with a child just fifteen at this time, and she didn't know if there would be an accident during childbirth.
Xing Shuang had to withdraw all of Yinglian's errands and forcibly ordered her to give birth to a baby.
But in this way, Xing Shuang's chores on his side were heavier, and Xing Shuang had no choice but to go to the Wang family.
When Wang heard that he was going to give her half of the matter, he immediately shirked it.
Xing Shuang sighed and said, "I know that you are Huan'er and Lan'er here, and now you have another wonderful sister." Let you take on half of the errand, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep busy. But my good brother and sister, just feel sorry for me, I'm really too busy here. ”
Wang thought for a while and said: "What you said is so pitiful, I can't refuse, but now that these three children are in front of me, I am also afraid that the mother-in-law who is going on with those things will collide." ”
Xia He was waiting in the house, and when he heard this, he suddenly said: "The wife and the eldest lady are busy, but the old lady is idle." ”
When Wang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Xing Shuang and blinked.
Xing Shuang saw her eyes and was happy: "Then let's go together." ”
The two went to Xianhe Hall together, just as Jia Mu was sifting almonds here, and when the mandarin duck saw the two wives coming, she was busy giving up her seat and asked someone to serve tea.
Xing Shuang sat down, picked up the almonds in the basket, and said casually: "No need for tea, I know you must have almond juice here, so I'll drink that." ”
Before Jia Mu could speak, Wang smiled and said: "What a good autumn breeze, the big kitchen doesn't have the kung fu to grind slowly, all these maids grind out a little bit with small stone grinding, and a pound of almonds can't grind much, but you have to drink it as soon as you come." ”
Jia Mu was happy at this moment, and laughed and said: "It's rare for her to be greedy, what a big deal." You also come to drink a bowl before it is boiled and drunk hot. ”
After that, Jia's mother ordered the mandarin duck to bring almond dew, and asked the two daughters-in-law: "Why did you come to me at this time?" ”
Wang also helped pick out the good almonds in the basket, and said in his mouth: "Come to the old lady to comment on it, old lady, you say, who is not busy in this family?" At this time, the third daughter-in-law had it, and the sister-in-law stopped her errand, for fear that she would have a good one. He came to me again to divide my errand in half.
"Old lady, I have a sick person and three children. Not to mention Huan'er Lan'er, Sister Miao is also watching from me now. No matter how hard I have, I'll just take care of one or two things for her. Biased her to fortify me halfway, what do you think I can do? ”
Mother Jia thought about it when she heard this, and persuaded her: "Your sister-in-law's health is not very good, and she is not as strong as you. ”
Wang threw away the almonds in his hand, took the handkerchief and pretended to cry: "Seeing that the old lady is eccentric, why is she delicate and weak, I am strong and strong." ”
Mother Jia couldn't cry or laugh, and looked at Xing Shuang again, Xing Shuang was helpless, and also lost the almonds in her hand, grabbed Wang's hand, and said: "The old lady is also pretending to be in front of you, but you are not afraid of losing face." Besides, how the old lady is eccentric, this big family's errand, since Yinglian came, I haven't let you worry about it.
"Originally, Su'er came back, so she had to be on a serious errand, and she fell, you, as a mother-in-law, don't bear this errand for her, who will bear it? In addition, you also have an errand, but I just saw that you were going to take Huan'er Lan'er, and your son and daughter-in-law were released again, so I didn't ask you to work.
"It's good now, but I'm not happy to give you back your side of the errand. It's really easy to get into luxury, it's hard to get into simplicity, and after a few years of comfort, the more you refuse to move. ”
Jia's mother had a headache when she heard them arguing, and after so many years of harmony, she couldn't see anyone quarreling. At this time, seeing that the two daughters-in-law were about to fight, they hurriedly persuaded: "Talk well and do more, it's just an errand, why is it so difficult to solve?"
"The second family, you can also be considerate of your sister-in-law, she has no one to help now, it all depends on her alone, where is she busy."
