"Forget it as agreed with people, don't invite more people. If you know, I will give birth to one. If you don't know, I will give birth to four." Li Xuemei smiled and shook her head: "Don't make the formation so big, An Xiao
I don’t have any problem with the doctor being invited, but let’s forget about the other doctor.”
Yan Laoer thought for a while and agreed.
He raised his chin, looked at the wooden box on the kang table and asked, "Where did it come from? It looks quite exquisite. The master's wife gave it to it?"
"Aunt Cai from the palace sent it." Li Xuemei opened the wooden box, which contained candied fruits divided into sections. The box was exquisite, and the six snacks inside were also delicious, sour and sweet.
"Why are you here again? What happened this time?" Yan Laoer asked casually.
Li Xuemei picked out a piece of peach preserves and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It's the same Plum Appreciation Banquet. I said that many people are bringing their children. I asked my wife to bring her children to play and get to know each other. If I didn't come empty-handed, I sent you this box. I opened it and gave it to me.
Already."
"Then let Qianchu, Xiaoer and Mistress go. It would be nice to see the world." Yan Laoer said.
Li Xuemei pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your daughter is a boy to the outside world. You said she went there, did she hang out with boys or play with girls?"
Yan Laoer:......
"Hey! Let her struggle with it. It's up to her whether she wants to or not."
"Master's wife took Qianchu out. I heard it, and she seemed to be going to buy cloth to make new clothes." Li Xuemei said.
Yan Laoer patted the head of the kang: "Oh, I forgot about it now. It has to be done. We don't have to have something decent to go to a banquet. What we did before was just for home wear..."
"Well, I'm just telling you to remind you not to mention money to the mistress. She can spend it as long as she wants."
Yan Laoer nodded hurriedly: "I understand. I will have to discuss with the teacher later to plan his salary and leave some money for my wife."
Li Xuemei smiled and nodded, that's what she meant.
It’s not that Mr. Tian doesn’t give, it’s that he gives less, which means that Mistress can earn some money to supplement the family income, otherwise she would be living in a tight situation.
…
"Ah! Can I go too?" Yan Yu was overjoyed to learn that she also had her share in the plum blossom appreciation feast.
"I can go, let me take care of the children, but think about it for yourself, in what capacity do you want to go, the daughter of the Yan family, or the boy of the Yan family." Yan Laoer said with a smile.
Yan Yu didn't hesitate for a while and suddenly understood.
"Of course I want to be with grandma and eldest sister, hahaha! Those who can go to the banquet are all official ladies. They usually stay close to the house and don't run into each other, so there is no need to worry at all." She pointed at herself.
He said: "Besides, I'm just here to eat and drink, so who can notice me?"
Yan Laoer agreed: "That's right, the official is much older than your master. If it hadn't been for this lawsuit a few days ago, the imperial concubine wouldn't even know that the master's wife is in Fucheng... How is the kang? Can it be burned?
?I think it’s almost done here. There are some small jobs left. It’s not too late to do them after we move in.”
Yan Laoer was more concerned about when to move than the Crown Princess's plum blossom viewing party.
"There is no problem with the kang. Both sides of the stove have been added. If you want to move it, you can move it tomorrow. But grandma showed me a few days and said that these are the things that are important in business. The nearest one is the day after tomorrow. Dad, let's decide on that day."
Yan Yu said.
"Okay, then let's follow your grandma." Yan Laoer said about asking for Wen Po: "...Tomorrow I will ask Dr. An to come and diagnose your mother's pulse. If there is time, I will go to the Wang Mansion again. I guess Wang
It’s time to finish father-in-law’s pancakes, give him some more.”
"Dad, bring another jar of our pickled pickled cabbage. I sent it to you last time. Grandpa Wang said that our pickled cabbage was good. Hehe, Grandpa Wang also took care of our business and sent charcoal several times."
Jade's eyes smiled like two crescents.
Since they sent charcoal to the palace, the official guarding the city gate has never asked them for money to enter the city, but they have saved a lot of money.
"Then let me put together four things. We haven't moved around since we moved here. They take such good care of us. We have to say that we will be closer in the future. If anything happens, we can just go to the shop."
…
"Grandma, this piece of material looks good, and this piece also looks good. Grandma, you have such good taste!" Yan Yu's little mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, which made Mrs. Tian very happy.
"As long as you like it, look at this pink color, how bright it is. Our girls have white skin, so it matches this color. No other child can wear it.
Leave this piece of purple to your mother.
This belongs to your father and your uncle. Qianchu and I fell in love with it at first sight. Most people can't resist this crow-blue color.
There is also this piece of white tooth for Heng'er.
Qing'er also has it. This small piece of apricot color is what was left after someone tore it off. It's not enough for adults. Qing'er is small and just right."
"Grandma, which one are you from?" Yan Yu looked around but didn't see Mrs. Tian.
"Grandma also picked a piece and left it for the cloth shop to make." Mrs. Tian said.
Yan Yu looked towards the eldest sister, and Qianchu nodded gently towards her.
"Master's wife, why do you still have mine? I'm so pregnant and wasted..." Li Xuemei thought that the dark purple color was chosen by Mrs. Tian for herself, but she didn't expect it to be hers.
Mrs. Tian said: "If the clothes are too small, they can't be changed into bigger ones. If they are too big, they can't be changed into smaller ones. After the winter solstice, it will be the end of the year. Our whole family will wear new clothes."
Li Xuemei sighed in her heart, it was really a waste.
The new clothes that their family had made before were very good in her opinion, but it was the mistress's good intention, and it was hard to reject them because they were hosting a banquet at the palace.
"Here it comes! Lamb bones stewed with sauerkraut! Waiter, set the table!" Yan Laoer shouted as he walked.
Yan Yu quickly took all the fabrics aside and set up the kang table.
Yan Laoer directly brought the basin up and placed it in the middle.
Grandma Rong brought the rice and left.
Mrs. Tian also knew in the past few days that Mrs. Rong didn't like to eat at the same table with them. She was unwilling to persuade her twice, so she didn't mention it.
Then he remembered something and said to Li Xuemei: "I still have a piece of material in the box. After dinner, you can take it to Mrs. Rong and make her a dress too."
"Master Madam, our family is in charge of Madam Rong's clothes for all seasons, and we have made them all, so they are not short of hers." Li Xuemei said.
"That's different. This is what I gave to her." Mrs. Tian insisted.
When Yan Laoer saw how serious she was, he said, "Let's do it. Madam is busy with all the hard work, so we should do it more."
Li Xuemei looked at him helplessly, "What do you know? Although the cloths I bought today are all cotton, the cloth is expensive, and the tailoring process costs too much."
Also add a piece of material to press the bottom of the box.
Yan Laoer did not receive the message from his wife, and kept adding food to Mrs. Tian.
"Master Wife, please eat more meat..."
Madam, how do you like the sauerkraut we pickled at home? We fellow villagers really miss this...
Wife, please drink the soup, the nutrients of the sheep bones are stewed in the soup..."
