After Li Shi came back from Jia's house, he was a little depressed, and only asked Grandma Sun to send the child to the old lady. Because she was not very happy, she didn't want the children to follow her to see her face.

At this time, in the Xinuan Pavilion, the old lady and Shen Yuechen were chatting and gossiping, and Mama Yang personally prepared some fresh fruits for presentation, including grapes, melons, cherries, and rare bright red lychees.

At this time, it is a good time for the fruit to be abundant, and the fruity aroma is fresh and pleasant, which brings out the wonderful joy of early summer.

This lychee is a gift from someone else, and it is very rare. The old lady specially kept it for Shen Yuechen, and when she came over to ask for peace, she asked Mama Yang to bring it to her.

The delicate white jade plate is filled with tender, juicy, and crystal clear lychees, which are very appetizing.

Before eating lychees, Shen Yuechen first cleaned her hands, and was about to pick up one, but saw that the old lady had already handed the tender white lychee to her mouth, and said softly: "This lychee is best eaten when it is fresh, you need to eat more." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, hurriedly opened her mouth, and ate the lychee, only to feel that the flesh was sweet and juicy, like honey.

When the old lady saw that she was eating deliciously, she was also happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "You haven't started to be happy now, and you should eat more while your appetite is good." ”

Her body was less than two months old, and she had not yet shown any symptoms of a picky eater, which made the old lady feel a little relieved. In this way, you can take advantage of her appetite to seize the time to recuperate and recuperate.

Shen Yuechen felt that the lychees were delicious, so she unconsciously thought of the children, and said, "I can't let me own all the good things." Why don't you call the kids over and try it out? ”

The old lady smiled and said, "I have already left it for the children." One plate for you, one for them. ”

Shen Yuechen gently scooped one up with a small silver spoon and handed it to the old lady, but the old lady shook her head and said, "I'm an old man, my teeth are not good, I can't eat sweet, so you should eat it." ”

After a while, Grandma Sun brought the children over.

The old lady was stunned at first, and then smiled and beckoned to Brother Ming.

Mama Sun stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid greets the old lady, and the eldest and youngest grandmother greets." The eldest lady had just come back, and she was a little tired for a while, so she ordered the slave maid to bring Young Master Ming and them over here for a nap. ”

The old lady nodded thoughtfully. thought to himself, Li Shi went to Jia's house, and his mood would naturally not be much better.

The old lady then asked, "How is the happy event of the Jia family?" ”

Mama Sun lowered her eyes and replied: "Back to the old lady's words, the scene looks very festive, and the Jia family has almost invited all the people in the city to come over. It's just that the second young man of the Jia family was confused, and when he worshiped heaven and earth, he made a lot of jokes. ”

"Since they want to do a happy event, they are not afraid to let people see jokes." The old lady smiled faintly when she heard this, and felt that everything was reasonable.

Shen Yuechen sat aside and listened quietly, the expression on his face was gentle and unchanged, and he didn't make any comments.

Brother Ming directly grabbed the lychees on the plate with his hands, picked them up and stuffed them into his mouth, one after another, propping up his cheeks to bulge, and then turned around and was about to run outside.

Seeing this, Grandma Sun couldn't reply for a while, so she just hugged him over and coaxed him softly: "Oh, my little ancestor, please slow down." ”

There are cores in the lychee, so it won't be good if you choke on it.

Zhu Ying was greedy for the lychee, and hesitated to reach out, but in the end she only took one grape.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen hurriedly took out a small bowl of lychees with a spoon and gave it to Zhu Ying, and then instructed Grandma Sun: "It's time for the children to take a nap, Grandma will carry them to bed." ”

Don't look at them all now happy, sit on the bed, next to the pillow, and fall asleep in a short time.

Grandma Sun hurriedly responded, took one in one hand, and took the children away.

The old lady sighed meaningfully, then remembered the matter of the Jia family, and couldn't help but say: "No coincidence is not possible, no one thought that we could still get close to the Jia family and bring our old ......"

Shen Yuechen said softly: "Maybe it's fate, fate is not easy to say." ”

The old lady sighed: "Alas...... It's just that don't be a bad fate, it's the best. ”

Shen Yuechen lowered her head when she heard this, and didn't speak again.

What will Tong Chuchu's future be, to be honest, she doesn't care at all in her heart.

Tong Chuchu was originally just a trouble, like a dirty thing in front of him, take it down, throw it out, and it will be clean.

Shen Yuechen knew that Li Shi must be in a very bad mood and annoyed now, but this was all her own doing, and no one could explain it.

As soon as the matter of the Jia family was mentioned, the old lady inevitably became a little less talkative.

first took a concubine, and then the Jia family proposed marriage, think about it, these things are all because of Tong Chuchu, and Tong Chuchu is here for the Li family, for Zhu Jintang...... So, speaking of which, this is all a trouble that Li Shi is looking for in a hurry.

This will, the more Shen Yuechen behaves plainly, the more the old lady likes it.

Before, when Tong Chuchu's seduction of Zhu Jintang was spread in the courtyard and everyone knew about it, Shen Yuechen didn't say a word, and he didn't know what to do. And now, it is not easy for her to see Li Shi doing it to herself, but she does not show any schadenfreude. After all, for the sake of Tong Chuchu, the Li family gave her a lot of face, and he didn't give her any anger, fortunately, this child is still filial in his heart, and he didn't take the opportunity to fall into the well and embarrass the elders.

Shen Yuechen saw that the old lady's gaze had been lingering on her face intentionally or unintentionally, and couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly, met her gaze, and asked softly, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

The old lady shook her head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter." Come to think of it, you should be tired, so just stay here and lie down, take a nap and go back. ”

Shen Yuechen didn't refuse, just smiled and said, "Then I'll lie down with Brother Ming." ”

The old lady didn't follow: "Brother Ming'er, that child can't sleep well, he will play for a while, and kick the quilt for a while, if he touches you, what should I do?" You might as well go to my bed and lie down for a while, and get some rest. ”

Seeing the old lady's kindness, Shen Yuechen had no choice but to obey and take Chun Ming Cuixin to the next room to rest, while the old lady continued to stay in the Xinuan Pavilion to taste tea and eat fruits. ”

Mama Yang was slightly stunned when she heard this, and only said: "Old lady, the eldest lady must be awkward in her heart, you might as well let her be alone and quiet......"

The old lady gently spat out a grape seed and said, "I know her character best." She has suffered such a wretchedness, if no one solves her problems, she will definitely not be able to get by. Listen to me, and call her, and I will untie her, so that she will not be foolish herself. ”

Hearing this, Mama Yang hurriedly said, "Yes, the old body will go and invite." ”

Mama Yang quickly invited Li Shi over, and she thought about it the same as the old lady. After Li Shi came back from Jia's house, she sat alone in the room, found out all the letters that Li Jiuniang had written to her, and burned them all in one go.

When burning the letters, Li did not let the maids do it, but paid attention to do it himself, those letters, wrote a lot of words that only sisters said, Li Shi did not want those maids to have a chance to peek, so they had to burn it by themselves.

As a result, when Mama Yang arrived, as soon as she opened the door, she saw that the room was smoky, and Li Shi was standing by the window, coughing and coughing in front of the window, her face was red and short of breath, and she looked very embarrassed.

If she hadn't seen a brazier in the house, Mama Yang would have thought that there was water somewhere.

Mama Yang was startled at the time, and hurriedly helped Li Shi out, and said helplessly: "Madam, why is this difficult?" If there is anything, just let the maids do it. ”

Lai then washed his face and changed his clothes before coming to see the old lady.

Mama Yang didn't tell the old lady about Li's letter-burning, but only said that it was too hot outside, so she chose a shady road to walk, so she delayed some efforts.

The old lady didn't care much, but persuaded Li Shi for a while, asking her to relax her heart and take good care of her pregnant granddaughter-in-law.

Li Shi felt guilty, so it was not good for the old lady to be aggrieved, so she only bowed her head and said yes.

The old lady continued: "What is past is over. Yuechen, that kid, didn't he say anything? It seems that she doesn't want to make any more extraneous complications either. Now, our Zhu family is happy, and it should be a good time for the family to be prosperous, so don't worry about those little things. Yuechen was pregnant this time, and I wrote a letter to Yuanlan in the capital to report the good news, and as a result, she told the good news to the concubine. The concubine was very happy when she heard this, and she also rewarded a lot of things. Someone has already been sent from the capital, and it will arrive in a while. Niangniang's reward, the gold is very expensive, we can't prepare nothing, if you are free, think about it, how to prepare something, not lose decency, but not too ostentatious. ”

The reason why the old lady did this was nothing more than to find something to do for the Li family, so that she would not be idle and cranky.

Li Shi naturally responded, and she was also looking for some errands to do. What's more, preparing a gift for the concubine is also a top priority.

……

The Dragon Boat Festival is a big day, for this day the Zhu family has made full preparations, calamus, artemisia grass, atractylodes, mugwort leaves, and realgar wine, just the zongzi are wrapped in thousands.

The festival with small children at home is the most lively.

On this morning, Shen Yuechen personally dipped the realgar wine to draw the word "king" on the children's heads, and tied colorful ropes to everyone's hands.

Brother Ming said that he wanted to watch the dragon boat from the morning, and the old man had always liked him, and when he saw that he wanted to see the dragon boat, he relieved himself and said: "If you really like it so much, go and beg your father to let him take you out to play." Grandpa Great's age, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you. ”

When Brother Ming heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around to beg Zhu Jintang, his voice was soft, and he was about to sweeten people.

Zhu Jintang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he was a little helpless for a while, and he was about to speak, but he heard the old lady object: "Brother Ming heard that there are many dusty people outside, but I can't go." You are obedient and obedient, and your great-grandmother will give you meat dumplings to eat. ”

What is so rare about meat dumplings! Brother Ming has wanted to go out for a long time, and it is rare to take advantage of the holiday, he will not give up easily, so he turned around and ran to the old lady, who was coquettish and cheating, which made her heart soften and soften.

Zhu Ying stood aside, biting her fingers, and hesitated for a long time before she followed, tugging at the old lady's sleeve and begging in a low voice: "Grandma great-grandma, please." ”

The old man saw it on the sidelines, and couldn't help but speak: "With so many people watching the guards, what else are you worried about, but you have to see the children wipe their tears before they agree." ”

When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly stroked the cheeks of the two children, and said softly: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and we are not allowed to wipe our tears during the festival." Saying wow, she looked at her daughter-in-law Li Shi and ordered: "You first send someone to book a room on the second floor of Qianhe Tower." ”

Li Shi was puzzled when he heard this: "Do you want to set a banquet for lunch?" ”

The old lady shook her head and said, "What kind of banquet is ordered?" I'm here for these two little things. The Thousand Crane Tower is the closest to the pier, sitting on the second floor, just in time to see the dragon boat race. It's better to sit there and watch than to crowd people down there. ”

Li Shi smiled suddenly and got up and said, "If you think about it thoroughly, I'll send someone to decide." After speaking, she walked over and nodded at Brother Ming and Zhu Ying's little brains, and said, "Don't kowtow to the two ancestors to thank you." ”

Brother Ming and Zhu Ying happily closed their mouths, knelt down one after the other, and knocked twice with a "knock", which made everyone feel distressed, and they hurriedly hugged them again.

Shen Yuechen came belatedly and brought all kinds of zongzi made by Wu's mother to greet the elders.

Chai, who is pregnant with Liujia, is the finale, her belly looks scary, and the person looks swollen, a little less sharp, a little more kind.

After the family arrived, the old man and the old lady began to taste the zongzi brought by each courtyard, tasting and tasting, and finally chose the auspicious eight treasure zongzi made by Wu's mother.

Eight ingredients, eight meanings, delicious and pleasing to eat.

The old man ate with relish, and he couldn't even care about the rice grains on his beard, so he opened his mouth and said, "This zongzi is wonderful." Go back and let your cook cook more, and take it out and give it away. ”

Shen Yuechen responded with a smile, she had already guessed in her heart that Mother Wu would win. This Zhu family has both craftsmanship and creativity, and if the two-pronged approach is combined, no one can compare to Wu Ma.

After a busy morning, and another good fortune, Shen Yuechen sighed with self-satisfaction, raised his eyes to look at the children opposite, and said a few words to them from time to time, which was very comfortable.

Brother Ming ate three meat dumplings in a row, and his stomach was bulging, and his mouth was full of oil. Zhu Ying is different from him, she picks the plums and dates in the zongzi to eat, but the meat zongzi does not touch a bite, and she doesn't like the greasy taste.

The old lady rarely let go and granted the children's request to play, but unfortunately, Shen Yuechen couldn't accompany her with her body, so she had to let Chun Ming and Cui Xin follow.

They know Zhu Ying and Brother Ming best, and they also know their temper and habits, so they are naturally more handy than the maids around Li's.

After breakfast, Zhu Feng and Li Shi accompanied the children to the Thousand Crane Tower, Zhu Jintang went to the study to deal with things as usual, the old man and the old lady went back to take a nap, and the courtyard was quiet for a while.

Shen Yuechen was also busy and went back to her yard, because Chunming and Cui were absent, the people who served her were replaced by two familiar little maids.

Seeing their trembling looks, Shen Yuechen couldn't help but smile and wave his hand: "You go and wait outside, just call Mother Wu." ”

The maids left, and Mother Wu arrived, she had been in the kitchen all morning, covered with the smell of zongzi, her face was red from steam, and her forehead was slightly sweaty.

When Shen Yuechen saw it, she couldn't help but step forward, personally took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, and said with a little guilt: "This big festival has made you tired, Mom." ”

Wu's mother took her handkerchief and said with a smile: "I'm not tired at all, there are people in the kitchen, and I'm just standing on the sidelines and watching." ”

Shen Yuechen also smiled: "The old man was full of praise for the zongzi made by his mother, and said that he would take them out and give them away." ”

Mother Wu lowered her head and said modestly: "The old man has raised the slave maid." After saying this, she suddenly remembered something, looked around, and then stepped forward and attached it to Shen Yuechen's ear, and said softly: "Miss, Miss Xiao Tao sent someone to bring a few things today, saying that they were gifts, and I put them in the cabinet for Miss." ”

Shen Yuechen was a little surprised when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she had clearly told her not to contact casually, so it could be seen that she must have something wrong.

"Where's the thing? Mom took it out for me to see. ”

Wu's mother agreed, wiped her hands on her apron, got up and came to the wooden cabinet by the window, called gently, and took out a few brocade boxes of different sizes.

Shen Yuechen's eyebrows moved, and she opened the boxes one by one with her own hands, only to see that they were just some dim sum cakes, nothing special.

"Good look, what did she do with so many snacks?" Wu's mother saw it on the side, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Shen Yuechen looked at the box of puff pastry, only to feel that something was wrong, she couldn't help squinting her eyes, looked carefully, and saw that the shortbread had shallow words on it, she read those words together, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Wealth and auspiciousness, the march of Lan Meng."

The Expedition of Lan Meng...... Blue Dream is a sign to describe a woman's pregnancy, is she ......

Shen Yuechen's face changed slightly, and she muttered, "Mother Wu, little peach girl, she may be pregnant." With that, she pointed to the words on the cake and showed her in order.

Mother Wu was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly lowered her head to look, only then did she suddenly realize.

Shen Yuechen breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that this little peach was really smart, and he could actually think of using such a method to deliver news to himself.

These shortbreads are mixed in snacks and placed in different boxes, even if they are seen with words, they will not arouse the suspicion of others and will not leave trouble.
