Chapter 22: The Family Feast

The people lingered outside the city for a long time, until the sun set in the west, and then they returned in a full carriage.

When I went back, the space in the carriage was almost filled with verdant lotus leaves.

These were all picked by Xie Ziqi and Shen Chuan rowing into the depths of the lotus pond, still with wet moisture, and a few baskets of lotus canopy were placed in the corner.

If it weren't for the carriage being big enough, I guess there wouldn't even be a place to sit.

On the way back, Jiang Fuyue and Sun Jingke divided the things and shared them one for each family.

Jiang Fuyue and Sun Jingke are all big families behind them, but Shen Chuan is only one person, so his share seems to be a little pitiful.

Sun Jingke wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask the kitchen in the house to prepare a table of lotus feasts, you must come." ”

Jiang Fuyue nodded in response.

At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped.

Gu Yu waved his hand and summoned a guard, telling him to move the baskets of lotus leaves and lotus canopy stuffed into the mansion.

Jiang Fuyue got off the car and went home, and the carriage continued to walk forward and returned to the Jinguo Mansion.

——

After returning to Shaoguang Courtyard, Gu Yu sent the lotus leaves and lotus pods to the kitchen, while Jiang Fuyue went back to the bedroom and lay down on the couch without moving.

This afternoon, happy is really happy, tired is really tired.

Jiang Fuyue was lying on the couch, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, and the whole person exuded a peaceful atmosphere.

Shocked pushed the door in, and almost couldn't hold back the laughter when he saw her like this.

I remember that when Mrs. Jiang was still there, Sun Jingke always followed her mother to the door and pulled Jiang Fuyue up and down the house.

At that time, Jiang Fuyue was like this every time she sent Sun Jingke away.

Jiang Fuyue heard the movement of opening the door, and lazily lifted her eyelids and glanced at her: "Something?" ”

nodded with a smile: "The old lady knew that Hou Ye was going to move back to live for a long time, so she wanted to set up a family banquet in Songshou Yuan tonight, and asked Mrs. Hou Ye and the two sons to sit down, but Hou Ye had to take Aunt Yun with her, and the old lady was so angry that she quarreled directly." ”

Jiang Fuyue sneered: "Master Hou is really filial." ”

Not long after Aunt Yun scolded the old lady, before the grounding was lifted, An Yuanhou already wanted to take her to swagger in front of the old lady.

Isn't it clear that you want to block the old lady?

The mother and son don't know how much enmity they have.

"Isn't it," said in surprise, "Earlier, Mother Liu came over, and the slave said that you are not here, and now you are back, do you want to go to Songshou Temple to see the situation?" ”

"No, no." Jiang Fuyue said decisively.

She didn't care what the old lady was angry about.

Stunned was not surprised by her attitude: "Yes." ”

At this time, Gu Yu came back from the kitchen to deliver something, and pulled her to talk about what she ate at noon today and what fun she played in the afternoon.

was stunned and sad, and thought she was annoying, so he made an excuse to say that he was busy, turned around and left, but Gu Yu actually followed her away, looking like he wouldn't stop until he finished speaking.

Jiang Fuyue finally calmed down here, and she was able to close her eyes and recuperate.

At this time, it was already not early, and Jiang Fuyue didn't fall asleep at all, so she was stunned and screamed: "Madam, Songshouyuan has sent someone over there and asked you to come over for dinner." ”

Jiang Fuyue rubbed her eyebrows.

got up to wash and dress up again, and changed his clothes again, Jiang Fuyue went to Songshou Temple with his shock.

At this time, there were a lot of people in Songshou Temple, men, women and children gathered in a room, looking lively, but the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The old lady sat in the first place, staring bitterly at An Yuanhou and Aunt Yun who were affectionate on the left, while Gu Liao and Gu Feng were standing behind Aunt Yun with their heads down.

Seeing Jiang Fuyue coming, the two children hurriedly greeted him and said goodbye: "Mother." ”

Jiang Fuyue nodded, and after saluting the old lady, she went to the right side of the old lady and sat down, and the two children probably felt a little embarrassed to stand next to Aunt Yun, so they also followed her.

Since Jiang Fuyue saved Aunt Yun in front of the old lady that day, Gu Liao and Gu Feng brothers have gone to Shaoguang Courtyard every morning to greet her, and sometimes they see them in the garden, and they will take the initiative to greet Jiang Fuyue with a salute, which is extremely well-behaved.

That's not a bad thing.

However, Jiang Fuyue never got such treatment for these two people in his previous life, and in this life, he only said two words in front of the old lady, which made the two brothers so obedient.

Jiang Fuyue looked at it, and only felt ridicule in her heart.

The old lady saw that Jiang Fuyue didn't ask a word about the accident from the time she came in until she sat down, so her already ugly face was a little ugly.

She didn't believe that Jiang Fuyue couldn't see the strangeness in this house.

The old lady turned her head and gave Mother Liu a look, Mother Liu understood, stepped forward and said, "Madam, you are the master of this back house, and you should have the final say in the affairs of this back house......

Jiang Fuyue glanced at her and interrupted her directly: "My mother-in-law is still here, how can this family listen to me in everything?" ”

After speaking, Jiang Fuyue picked up the tea that had just come up and took a sip.

Mother Liu's mouth is open, Jiang Fuyue knows what she wants to say.

It's just that he just wants to use her as a knife and drive Aunt Yun, who doesn't like the old lady, back to ground.

Mother Liu's face froze, and she couldn't say the rest of the words, so she had to retreat to the old lady's side stupidly.

When the old lady saw Jiang Fuyue's attitude, she was so angry that her eyes turned black and her face changed.

But the others seemed to have not seen it, laughing and laughing, drinking tea, and being in a daze.

The hour is not early, and the meal finally begins in this very strange atmosphere.

The two brothers, who always liked to be coquettish around the old lady in the past, sat beside Jiang Fuyue in a regular manner at this time.

An Yuanhou and Aunt Yun sat together, talking and laughing in a low voice while eating vegetables, but the old lady's side seemed extremely deserted.

The old man loves his children and grandchildren around his knees, and the old lady is no exception, so he beckoned to Gu Liao and Gu Feng with a smile, and said in a soft tone: "Good grandson, come to grandmother!" ”

Hearing this, Gu Liao and Gu Feng first glanced at Jiang Fuyue, and when they saw that she didn't react, they looked at Aunt Yun again.

Aunt Yun gave her a look, and the two of them sat down with their rice bowls.

just sat next to the old lady, and the two just ate obediently, no longer hugging the old lady and laughing and coquettish as before.

The old lady served the two of them with vegetables, and the two even thanked them unfamiliarly.

An Yuanhou didn't know which tendon was wrong, this meal was serving Aunt Yun from beginning to end, serving her vegetables and serving her soup, it was simply meticulous.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, most of the dishes that An Yuanhou sandwiched were the ones that Jiang Fuyue was about to clip.

Every time Jiang Fuyue's chopsticks stretched out were about to touch the dish, she suddenly killed a pair of chopsticks from the diagonal and snatched the dish away with lightning speed.

Jiang Fuyue looked at him several times inexplicably.

Now, the old lady felt even more uncomfortable, eating a meal tasted like chewing wax, and she didn't even taste what the food tasted like.

However, Jiang Fuyue ate well, even if she was stirred up by An Yuanhou several times in the middle, she was full in the end.

If it had been before, Jiang Fuyue would definitely have to stay, beckoning his subordinates to clean up the dining room, and then listen to the old lady's words before leaving.

But now, Jiang Fuyue waited for everyone to put down their chopsticks and got up to leave, walking faster than An Yuanhou.

Aunt Yun hurriedly chased out, but saw Jiang Fuyue turn a corner and disappear.
