Chapter 48 (The Three Brothers 'Rest Day...)
iaozong, the chief official of Liupin Shandong, stood behind the civil service, whispering with two of his colleagues.Chen Jingzong coughed in a low voice.not to mention Chen Xiaozong, even Chen Bozon...on the morning of February 27, Chen Jingzong and Chen Bozong still had to work at their respective Yamen. Huayang and Yu Xiu rushed to Shiqiao Town first after breakfast.
Forty miles, it only takes more than half an hour to ride a horse and run fast, and the carriage takes a whole morning, so the woman goes first, and the brothers ride back in the evening and stay in the old house for one night. After lunch tomorrow, the two families will have to go back to the city again. This is the only arrangement for a short rest day.
the weather is obviously warmer, and occasionally there are one or two peach trees on the side of the road, covered with small pink buds, and some of the tops of the trees bloom ahead of time.
Yu Xiu saw Huayang staring at the peach blossoms and said, "there are two peach blossoms in our courtyard. If they bloom, I will pick some and send them to the princess."
Huayang smiled and said, "Don't bother your sister-in-law. Someone else will send me."
Yu Xiu was the first to think of his brother-in-law, and he was annoyed at his trouble. compared with her sister-in-law, the princess certainly liked the gift from his brother-in-law.
with the cheerful singing of birds all the way, two carriages with a team of guards finally arrived at Shiqiao Town.
the people knew at a glance that the princess and others had come back to visit Chen GE's old couple. Some watched the hustle and bustle with relish, others were no longer strange, and they should do what they should do.
before the carriage stopped, Wanyi, Dalang, Jiro and Saburo rushed out of it.
"Mother!"
Wanyi and Dalang both threw themselves into Yu Xiu's arms.
Yu Xiu is happy and wants to cry. Since she became a mother, this is the first time she has been separated from her children for such a long time.
Jiro and Saburo stood side by side and saw that there was no one else inside after Princess four got out of the car. The little brothers were both a little aggrieved, and Saburo was about to cry.
when Yu Xiu saw this, he touched the heads of his nephews and explained softly, "We're closer, so we'll be here first. Your mother must be on her way, too. There's no hurry."
Huayang doesn't want to coax the children, but she has prepared gifts for her parents-in-law and children.
Chaoyun received the master's eyes and smiled and took four boxes of cakes from the car and sent one box to each child.
the children are very happy with the delicious food.
at this time, Chen Tingjian and Sun also came.
Chen Tingjian still wears a white coarse cloth robe, and his beautiful beard long to his chest is neatly taken care of. After worrying at home for so long, he doesn't have to deal with government affairs like he did in the morning and night every day in the capital. Chen GE, who is in his early fifties, looks a little more energetic and has a bit of a fairy style.
it is a pity that the children do not know how to appreciate their grandfather's elegant demeanor, only that his grandfather is too strict. As soon as his grandfather arrived, Saburo, who was in a hurry to open the pastry box, immediately held on to the box. He all did so. Dalang and Jiro became more stable, so Wanyi dared to be a little more lively in front of his grandfather.
Huayang suddenly remembered that his younger brother in the palace, when he was five or six years old, was as well behaved in front of his father.
greeted each other, and everyone moved into the hall to speak.
in the absence of his sons, Chen Tingjian could not question the daughter-in-law. Even if he had got the news, he could only pretend that he did not know.
Sun is smiling and concerned about the current situation of the two young couples, such as whether they are used to eating and living, and whether their sons are busy with their errands.
"well, we won't have dinner until later. You two have made a carriage all the way. Go back and have a rest. The house has been cleaned up ahead of time."
Sun is the main road.
Huayang and Yu Xiu took the children to retire.
when he returned to the west courtyard, the atmosphere became lively again. When Jiro and Saburo did not receive their parents, they went around their gentle and amiable eldest aunt to ask questions. Yu Xiu was also patient. She answered whatever the children could ask.
Huayang thought it was interesting at first, but it was too noisy for a long time, so she took her servant girl back to Siyi Hall first.

as soon as she cleans her face, she listens to Jane outside calling "Miss" with a smile.
Shaoqing, Wanyi came in, holding several pink peach blossoms in her hand. Her clear and dark eyes looked at her happily: "this is my newly picked peach blossom. Does the fourth aunt like it"
Huayang likes it.
in the spring of my last life, I don't know which day Wanyi also sent her peach blossoms, delicate and lovely little girl, fresh and delicate petals, all brighten people's mood.
"I have a present for Wanyi, too."
Chaoyun took a small box the size of a slap. Huayang handed it to Wanyi and smiled and told her to open it.
Wanyi did it, and inside the box was a peach blossom made of pink tourmaline, tender and sparkling, very beautiful.
Huayang picked up the peach blossom hairpin, personally helped Wanyi put it on, and then led her to the half-height dressing mirror.
Wanyi liked it very much, but she was also a little embarrassed. She blushed and said, "every time I come over, the fourth aunt wants to give me something good, and I dare not come again next time."
looks like she is courting the fourth aunt for a present.
Huayang said with a smile, "it's not always there. Next time you come, I won't send it. Is that all right"
Wanyi smiled.
"Princess, the third Lady is here."
Huayang will definitely not pick up Luo Yuyan at the door, but just pat Wanyi on the shoulder and tell her to just go over. This is the courtesy of the younger generation.
Jiro and Saburo have rushed out, and Dalang is standing in the hallway waiting for his sister.
noticed that her younger brother looked at her head several times, and Wanyi's heart moved and asked her younger brother to take off the peach blossom hair and carefully put it into her delicate purse around her waist.
Da Lang asked, "is it from the fourth aunt" Why doesn't my sister wear it "
Wanyi explained in a low voice as she took her younger brother out: "our parents have always been simple, and we are not allowed to pay too much attention to this. If I wear that hairpin to see the third aunt, the third aunt must have guessed that it was given by the fourth aunt, and all the fourth aunt gave it away. Does the third aunt have to give me something good, too" Why should I ask my third aunt to spend a lot of money "
the fourth aunt liked her and gave her something and accepted it graciously, but she could not consciously or unintentionally take the initiative to ask for it from the third aunt.
she is nine years old and has learned something about the world.
the six-year-old Dalang is thoughtful.
outside the door of Chen's house, Luo Yuyan also prepared food gifts for her children and nephews.
Sun was sitting in the hall, waiting for his third daughter-in-law to come in to see the gift. Chen Tingjian didn't come this time. After all, he was just going to meet the princess. If only his eldest daughter-in-law came back, there was no reason for him to welcome daughter-in-law.
"Mother, don't you often talk about sore shoulders when the third master was on a private visit outside that day, he saw someone selling a kind of gavel specially used to relieve shoulder pain. He bought one for you and your father. Would you please try it"
Luo Yuyan enthusiastically presented the gift prepared by husband and wife for the two elders. A pair of small mallets with long handles, and the servant girl was not there, she could knock and knock at any time.
Sun gave it a try and said with a smile, "this is practical, the old three has a heart."
after Luo Yuyan left with the children, Sun also went back to Chunhetang with gifts.
when Chen Tingjian saw the servant girl beside her holding a long box, he stared at it.
the tea sent by the boss is a bit expensive, but it is not too out of line. It can still be bought with the boss's salary.
Lao Si will not honor him. Those two boxes of bird's nests are the princess's heart.
I don't know what the third has prepared.
Chen Tingjian is not thinking about the gifts of his children. He is afraid that his sons will learn the ways of corrupt officials and rein in the fat and ointment of the people and come to him as filial sons.as he could. When the warm and light carmine satin fox fur jacket was put on the body, Huayang was still a little shivering. Chen Jingzong brought her cloak and wrapped her tightly around her, reveali...
