Autumn is here. Autumn is a beautiful season, a harvest season, and a season before everything dies.
The weather was nice today, and it was another day for the children to rest. Mingjin took Wen Wan's hand and shook it: "Mom, I want to eat the saqima you made today. Mom, can you make it for me?" "Wenwan always makes all kinds of cakes for her children when she is in the mood. Satisfy the three children, well, to be precise, satisfy the little greedy Mingjin.
Wen Wan pinched Mingjin¡¯s nose and said, ¡°You greedy little cat, you know how to eat.¡± It is said that girls like to eat snacks, and her Mingjin definitely eats snacks better than other girls. Wen Wan lamented to Xia Yao more than once that she must have been born in the wrong child. She was originally a girl, but she became a son.
Okay, before Wen Wan finished sighing, Ling Chang said, "Auntie, I want to eat cookies."
Mingrui followed suit and didn't lag behind: "Mom, I want to eat the egg tarts you made by yourself." Mingrui doesn't like snacks, but he really likes the egg tarts made by Wen Wan. He doesn't like anything Xia Xian cooks. I like to eat Wenwan¡¯s food, and I eat five or six of them. You can save money on food.
Wenwan smiled and responded one by one.
Mingjin was overjoyed to see that Wen Wan did not refuse. Seeing Mingjin like this, Wen Wan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Those who don¡¯t know think she abused them and starved them!
Wen Wan was sitting on the swing, eating delicious snacks and listening to Xia Ying talk about what happened in the court recently. Then look at a few children from a distance. I feel very comfortable. With a satisfied smile on his face. It's such a good day like this. If Bai Shinian comes back, it will be perfect.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I heard the people below reporting back and forth, saying that the Crown Princess was coming, so I was led to the amusement park. This time it was the Crown Princess who posted first. Wen Wan also accepted the post, and Wen Wan specially set the date on the day when the child is on vacation.
Ruyu is wearing a formal suit. Wen Wan was wearing very casual casual clothes. When the two of them are together, they are particularly conspicuous. Also very weird.
Ru Yu was holding a blue-colored brocade robe behind her, with a red gold longevity lock hanging around her neck. Linghao of amulets and other items. Linghao's appearance is more like that of the prince. It is said that the prince loves this young son very much. Wen Wan saw that Ling Hao's face was a little pale, and Wen Wan also knew that the child was not in good health. Always sick.
Linghao saw Wen Wan and sweetly called out, "I've met my aunt." The soft, squirming voice was very nice.
Lingtan brought Mingrui and Mingjin over. When Lingtan saw Ruyu, he called out politely: "Mother concubine." Mingrui and Mingjin both bowed.
The three children were playing Cuju just now, and now they are all covered in sweat. After saluting. I took the towel from the maid, wiped my sweat, and washed my hands.
Linghao is also five years old this year. Looking at the three Lingcheng, he is very envious: "Mom, when can I play Cuju like my brother?"
Ruyu felt a little distressed when she saw her son. The younger son is in poor health due to some reasons. No matter how much you take care of yourself, it won't get better. "When you take good care of your body, you can play with them."
Linghao asked with some disbelief, "Really?" After speaking, he looked at Wen Wan. Linghao knew that only her aunt's promise would count, because this is her aunt's home. Those pearl-like eyes are looking at you twinklingly, and not many people can stand it.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Even if you recover from your illness, you still have to study with your husband, and you can't have fun. Your three brothers are only on vacation today, and they don't have time to play in the past. They also have to learn a lot of things every day. Learn from the teacher It¡¯s also very hard to learn martial arts from the Four Books and Five Classics.¡± There are already three. Another milk baby, I want to tire her out.
Seeing Wenwan¡¯s refusal, Brother Jin deliberately said, ¡°Cousin, you don¡¯t know? Not only can we play Cuju here, we also have slides, wooden horses, and seesaws. It¡¯s so fun.¡± This is Hong Guoguo¡¯s temptation. Hearing this, Ling Hao looked at Wen Wan again.
Seeing the pitiful look of this child, Wen Wan couldn't resist. Children who can act cute are really lovable!
While Mingjin was talking to Wen Wan, Ming Rui took a grape, peeled it, and turned to look at Wen Wan. Wen Wan opened her mouth, and Mingrui fed Wen Wan the peeled grapes.
Wen Wan smiled all over her face: "My Mingrui is such a good boy." Not to be outdone, Mingjin immediately imitated Mingrui and peeled it off for Wen Wan: "Mom, you can eat what I peeled."
Wen Wan also held it in her mouth: "They are all mother's good children."
Lingcheng stood on the side, watching Mingrui and Mingjin express their filial piety. Of course, Mingrui and Mingjin have always been very filial. Mingrui didn't show it specially this time, but he usually asked Wenwan if he wanted to eat before eating.
Ruyu glanced at his brother, and then looked at the smiling Lingcheng who didn't get close to him, and felt relieved. It seems that treating Lingchen gently is different from treating Mingrui and Ming.?There is still a difference. If Wen Wan knew what Ru Yu was thinking at this time, she would definitely complain. She is not stupid and treats everyone equally. She can treat her son the same as she treats her nephew. Even if Ling Chang feels different, as long as they are almost the same on the whole, it will be fine. If this also requires equal treatment, Wen Wan really won't teach it. ** is endless, you must learn to restrain **. Know what you deserve and what you don't get.
Mingrui had rested enough and said to Wen Wan: "Mom, my brother and I will continue playing Cuju." After Wen Wan agreed, Mingrui took Mingjin to play Cuju. I didn¡¯t even ask Ling Chang.
Wenwan asked Lingcheng to take Linghao to play some relaxing games. Wen Wan is a little strange. Ling Chang was a bit timid in the past, but he was still in good health. But why does Linghao look so weak? "Ruyu, why does Linghao look so thin?" Linghao was born at full term, and it was not difficult to give birth. Ordinarily this shouldn't be the case.
Ruyu looked at her son, feeling distressed and guilty, "He got seriously ill not long after he was born, and his body and bones have been in bad shape ever since. He often got sick, but the imperial doctor said he could go out and walk around, so I took him to see him. . I also want to learn from you.¡±
Looking at Ru Yu¡¯s expression, Wen Wan naturally knew that there was something fishy in it. I didn't ask any more questions: "You still want to learn from me? You are a mother of four children. You have more experience than me."
Wen Wan and Ru Yu talked for a while, and Xia Xian came over and said, "Princess, the materials are all ready. It's time to start."
Seeing Ru Yu's confused expression, Wen Wan smiled and said, "On holidays, I often cook my children's favorite dishes or snacks. In this way, they can relax and have fun. And You will feel very satisfied if you can eat what I cook. If you don¡¯t mind, you can come with me for four days every month. Unless something unexpected happened, such as when she was busy looking for a suspect last time. At other times, Wen Wan generally does not refuse the child's proposal.
Ruyu was very curious and followed Wenwan to the kitchen. The materials are all ready, Wen Wan takes action, and Xia Xian will do the same below.
Ruyu looked at Wen Wan¡¯s skillful movements and knew that Wen Wan had done it often. I think she also learned cooking skills when she was a girl, but now she has forgotten all about it.
The two of them were sitting. Wen Wan smiled and said, "It's almost dinner time, and Mei'er and Zhenzhen haven't come over either. I don't know if they were caught up in something." Seeing Ru Yu, Wen Wan suddenly smiled and said, "There are also several We haven¡¯t had a gathering this year, and this time is rare, so we invited them all. ¡°It¡¯s a party on the surface, but it¡¯s actually nothing. Only Wen Wan knows.
After a while, Zhenzhen came over with three girls. Brother Fu also came. Su Zhenzhen was a little surprised to see Crown Princess Ruyu and Wen Wan cooking and eating together in the kitchen.
Wen Wan smiled and said to the three girls: "Menglan, you three sisters, come to help aunt. Brother Fu, go play with them!" Brother Fu heard that Lingyu, Mingrui and others were at the Cuju court. I went to play Cuju, my feet felt like stepping on hot wheels, and I quickly followed the maid to the playground.
In fact, the so-called provocation is nothing more than letting a few girls visit. The three Menglan sisters are very interested in the pastries made by Wenwan.
Seeing Wen Wan's skillful movements, Mengxuan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Auntie is also proficient in cooking?" I had always heard that my auntie was the most talented woman in the world. I didn¡¯t expect that he was also proficient in cooking.
Wen Wan said shamelessly: "Auntie is not bragging. She is not weak in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. This cooking skill is even more extraordinary. When I competed with your mother and the others in cooking skills, I was either first or second. ¡±
The Crown Princess directly responded to Wen Wan: "Yes, yes, she is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know who often turned in blank papers in the past. When playing the piano, everyone wished they didn't wear their ears." This woman. It¡¯s true that the older I get, the thicker my skin becomes. This means the water content is too high. I dare to say that I come first in everything. It's already pretty good without being in last place.
Wen Wan said without shame: "That's my humility."
The group of people were in the kitchen, talking and laughing, very happy. Because the materials were all prepared, Wen Wan moved quickly and took them out as soon as they were ready. The following projects were naturally done by someone.
While everyone was talking, they heard someone outside saying that Mrs. Luo was coming. Others were fine, Mengxuan's face was a little red, this was her future mother-in-law.
Meier smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is here too. It seems that Wenwan has organized a small party this time." Meier came this time, dressed in pink silk satin, with a red gold inlay inlaid on her head. Feng Chai, who is green and holds a pearl half the size of a walnut kernel, wears a tourmaline bracelet on her hand. The man looked in high spirits. She asked with a gentle smile: "Is there any happy event at home?"
Meier smiled and said: "There is no happy event at home. But it would be nice if I could see you"?What a happy event. "Such a scene hasn't happened for many years.
Menglan and her sisters walked over and said, "I have met the Crown Prince's wife."
Meier first smiled and put the tourmaline on Sister Nan's hand, and then inserted the phoenix hairpin on Sister Xuan's head. Meng Nan also had a share.
Ruyu smiled and said: "With your rosy face, I can tell that your life is going well." This complexion is indeed good. Although it doesn't look as good as Wenwan's, it's better than hers.
Meier smiled, "Are you living a comfortable life? Everyone knows that, and I won't tell you how good my life is. Our prince's preference for colors is well-known in the capital. In the past two years, because of I want to keep my filial piety and have restrained myself a lot now. I bought two maids a few days ago to serve in my study. They are as beautiful as freshly bloomed flowers. I don¡¯t even want to talk about them. I was still angry before, but now I just let him go. As long as I don¡¯t bring any mess to my house, I can just live my life behind closed doors. I was blinded by the love. Otherwise, Meier was really afraid that she would fall into Fang Yutong's fate. Meier witnessed with her own eyes Fang Yutong's fall from the clouds of happiness to the eighteenth level of hell, and buried her last thoughts about Luo Shouxun. Now she is the head wife and has a son and a daughter. The children are filial and considerate, and they also have a large dowry. Don't think about those things that are there or not, life is still very nourishing. Besides, at such an old age, he still talks about the love between husband and wife, and makes such harsh remarks. Men. It's all clouds. Especially the men in her family were like the colorful clouds floating in the sky that day. Looking at Cheng, I wanted to hold her in my arms. She has no ability to be gentle.
Zhenzhen said, half teasingly and half enviously, "As for the color, she can't compare to being gentle. Look, she is already twenty-five years old and the mother of two children, but she is even more beautiful than when she was a girl." If you want to go out, no one will believe that this is a person who has given birth to two children and passed the 10th anniversary." If he said it true, he immediately received 100% approval from the other two people.
Wenwan takes good care of herself and bathes with milk regularly. I apply pearls on my face every two days and do facial makeup. I also soak in hot springs for several months every year. I usually take medicinal baths. So this is better than the girl¡¯s color, and it also cost a lot of money. ¡°How can it be so exaggerated?¡±
Wen Wan saw Mengxuan and said with a smile: "Why don't you bring the child here? You just come here empty-handed. You don't know how to bring Yi Yat here for me to see." Wen Wan actually wanted to say, so don't tell me Brother Tiger brings it here. Let this young couple also meet.
Meier hurriedly begged for mercy and said: "I didn't know that everyone was here today. You know, I just brought a few members of our family here. I want you to see enough."
??????????????????????????? After Hunke closes up, the snacks made by Wen Wan are ready in a blink of an eye. Everyone tried it one by one and thought it was delicious. While they were eating, Ling Chang came over with Brother Mingrui, Mingjin and Ling Hao, followed by Brother Fu, and the other five boys.
Lingting, Mingrui and Mingjin had already changed their clothes. They were all wearing dark green brocade robes, but they were all wearing cloth shoes.
Ruyu was a little surprised, "Why do you let your child wear cloth shoes now?"
Wen Wan smiled and explained, "They have been running all morning. Their feet are sweaty. Wearing soap boots is not breathable. Wearing cloth shoes will make the feet comfortable. It is good for the body." Then he ordered people to start eating. In fact, the group was already half-full from the snacks.
Wen Wan looked at the group of people and said, "Would you like to divide the table into two." In fact, there is no need to divide the table. The oldest of the children is Ling Yang, who is only eight years old.
Meier joked, "Two tables, one for you."
After hearing this, Brother Jin immediately shouted, "No, let's sit at the same table as mom." Wen Wan laughed after hearing this. Meier looked at it and scolded Wen Wan with a smile. This little guy knows how to protect his mother at such a young age.
A large table of dishes was served, which was very rich. Everyone was eating and talking and laughing together. Linghao picked three or four kinds of vegetables and ate them like chickens pecking at them. After a few bites, he stopped eating. It made everyone around me worried.
Wen Wan frowned. This child is too picky about food. This situation is worse than what Mingjin thinks: "Brother Hao, it's not good for your health for children to be picky eaters. Look at your brother, he eats meat and vegetables, he eats everything. Children need to eat everything to grow strong and long." You have to be tall. Only when you are strong can you play with your brothers. Otherwise, you will be out of breath after taking only two steps. "
Brother Jin accepted Wen Wan¡¯s words and despised Brother Hao, ¡°You are so picky about food at such an old age, I am really embarrassed.¡±
Wen Wan burst out laughing after hearing this. The child didn¡¯t even blush when he spoke. He himself is an example of a serious picky eater. If Wen Wan hadn't used a special method to correct him, Brother Bihao wouldn't have gone anywhere.
Linghao didn't want to be ridiculed, "I'm not picky about food." After saying that, he ate a few green vegetables that Wen Wan handed over. In order to show that he is not picky about food, he eats much better than what he used to eat He actually ate more than half a bowl of rice, which made Ruyu extremely happy.
Wenwan is speechless.
After eating, Wen Wan led a group of people to Luoju Garden. Ling Hao also wanted to play with the wooden horse, so Wen Wan asked Ling Chang to take him there. A group of women went to the garden.
When we arrived at the Luoju Garden, the garden was full of chrysanthemums in full bloom. The large golden chrysanthemums were clustered in clusters, brilliant and gorgeous, and truly pleasing to the eye.
Ruyu looked at the chrysanthemums in the garden, and suddenly read a poem: "The flowers in the cold weather have all bloomed, and the chrysanthemums are only full of branches. The old pickers come again and again, and the light-flavored wine will temporarily follow."
Wen Wan paused for a moment, and recited half of a nondescript poem: "Flowers bloom and fall, like this every year. When they bloom again next spring, there is no need to be sad."
Meier smiled and said, "I smell a scent of osmanthus." Meier also knew that the poem Ru Yu read was unlucky, so she followed Wenwan's words and changed her target.
"The sweet-scented osmanthus blooms in August, and now it's October, and only the lingering fragrance is left." There are indeed several sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the yard next door. But the sweet-scented osmanthus is long gone.
All the way. Only Wen Wan, Mei Er and Ru Yu spoke. Unless Zhenzhen says a few words when necessary, he smiles otherwise. It seemed like she was just here to be a foil.
Several women. The topic of flowers has also been lingering around. We kept talking until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when we heard a message from outside that the eldest son of the Luo family was coming. I want to take Mrs. Luo back.
Meier chuckled: "This kid is sincere. I asked him to come pick me up in the afternoon, but he came so early." In fact, it was Meier who ordered Brother Hu to come here at this time.
Wen Wan and others went to the living room. Seeing Brother Tiger standing in the living room. Wearing a brand new azurite straight brocade with five blessings and dragon patterns, and a pea green belt around her waist, she has a tall and straight figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. He looks decent and particularly energetic.
Brother Tiger met with several people. Because she is engaged, she can also call Wenwan like Mengxuan, and naturally she will be called aunt.
Wenwan likes this appearance very much. He is in good health. The rules are also very good. Well, it's really good. This marriage did not deceive Mengxuan.
The smile on Ruyu's face couldn't be hidden: "Wenwan, when you and Meier become in-laws, how about you let Brother Hu call you something?"
Wen Wan didn't care about the title, and ordered the maid on the side: "Go and invite some cousins ??over. I said you have guests, so say hello to them."
Brother Tiger was happy after hearing this. Wen Wan glanced at Mei'er with a half-smile. He also said that the child came early, and he might have already given the instructions. Let the son come to meet his future wife.
Wenwan¡¯s guess is correct, Brother Tiger has a very vague impression of Mengxuan. The main reason is that he has seen too many sisters and so on. Although I have met Mengxuan, I only had a quick meeting with a few girls and didn't pay attention to her. So this time he brought it up with Meier. Gotta meet his little fianc¨¦e. Meier asked him to pick her up later. I just wanted him to meet Mengxuan on the way back. No matter how good the mother-in-law's words are, they are not as reassuring as what she sees with her own eyes.
After seeing each other, Sister Xuan looked at them twice. I think it's not bad. She was influenced by her upbringing mother, and she doesn't reject Brother Tiger. But just now I felt a little uneasy after hearing what my future mother-in-law said.
Brother Tiger naturally got advice from others. He knew that the person wearing green onion-colored clothes was his little fianc¨¦e. Well, she is quite beautiful and refreshing to look at, and the shyness in her eyes cannot be hidden. After taking one look, I couldn't help but take another look.
Wen Wan looked at Brother Hu, remembering Luo Shouxun's stupidity back then, and couldn't help laughing. After laughing, the group talked again, Ru Yu took Ling Hao back to the East Palace, and Mei'er also took her son home. Zhenzhen and his party were left behind.
Wen Wan had already seen Mengxuan's look in her eyes, "Brother Tiger was taught by his mother. He is smart, smart, and strict in self-discipline, unlike his father. Mrs. Luo has already promised me that she will treat you as my father in the future." It hurts like a biological daughter. I have known your mother and Mrs. Luo for more than ten years, and I can definitely do what she said. It's just that they have many relatives, so you have to be mentally prepared to step forward. Zhenzhen, I talked to Sister Xuan about the actual situation.
Mengxuan is already mentally prepared for having many relatives. Aunt Zhao has already inquired about the situation in the Duke's Mansion.
Wen Wan was not worried when she saw Mengxuan, and when she saw Brother Tiger's hunky back just now, she didn't show anything strange, just shy. Wen Wan is still very satisfied. If you are worried, you are worried about learning from Su Zhenzhen, who likes the handsome young man: "As long as your aunt is still here, they will not bully you. Don't worry about this. The rest is up to you." Are you living a good life? Relatives can only give help, but they cannotJust live your life.
After everyone had left, Wen Wan asked Xia Yao: "Have you noticed anything different about Hai Ruyu today?" Wen Wan is not only sharp, but also has surprisingly powerful intuition. She immediately felt that Hai Ruyu's eyes looked at her, well, there was a sense of scrutiny.
Xia Yao shook her head and said she didn't see anything wrong with Hai Ruyu. Xia Ying felt the same, feeling that everything was normal about Hai Ruyu.
Wen Wan was gloomy: "My feeling is not wrong. This time she said she wanted to see Ling Chang, and I obeyed her wishes. But it's interesting, I didn't provoke her. She was quite afraid of me. Got it. I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m addicted to scheming.¡± (To be continued)
