Chapter 385 The Full Moon and the Reunion
Chun Yang waved his hand. "I'm just a messenger. Madam has been in charge of internal and external affairs for over ten years. She has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and has always been lenient and strict. Fortunately, everyone in the mansion knows their limits and does their job conscientiously. So, of course, I will give you a reward if it's due. Teacher Lan, just accept it calmly."
The words were beautiful but also had hidden meanings. Lan Die took two breaths.
When the small door was closed, the little girl following Chun Yang couldn't help but exclaim: "Butler, you are so beautiful!"
"Yes!" The lady called her the most beautiful woman in the world several times. She was definitely a gift from heaven. Fortunately, she was a person who knew her limits.
"Fortunately, she works in our house." The little girl walked back affectionately holding Chun Yang's arm. "She will always be beautiful, and we can always see her."
Isn't it true? Men like to pick flowers and grind them into mud. If a man can always behave himself and work in the mansion, he is very likely to avoid the fate of being wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into the wild.
If you use your beauty to please a man without having children, you can imagine what will happen to you.
No one else in the world appreciates and explores her dancing talent as purely as the lady does - others just order these lowly people to perform all kinds of lewd songs and dances to flatter the superiors.
The general may not like people to be in his mansion - but his wife and daughter like him, so even if it makes his subordinates distracted, he does not make it difficult.
Speak of the devil, the tall man who strolled around with his daughter in his arms every day appeared at the other end of the bridge. Chun Yang and the other man stepped forward and saluted, "General."
Qin Xiuyuan carried his tearful daughter, who had just woken up, out to look for birds and dogs. When he saw Chun Yang, he tilted his arm and asked, "Xiao Si, who is this?"
The little ball of flesh, pouting and rubbing his eyes, wearing a set of small clothes, pants, socks and hats, with a round face and chubby little hands exposed, it is obvious that he is well-fed.
"Auntie Chun, look at Xiao Si. She is much more obedient than Xiao Tangyuan." Chun Yang made faces to tease her like she did to Xiao Tangyuan. The little girl looked at her in surprise with her big eyes and giggled.
The little girl stopped crying, and her father was happy. "He brought little Tangyuan over for dinner, gave Xiaosan a bath, and then said he wanted to see little Tangyuan."
As soon as little Tangyuan takes a bath, he grabs onto the small bathtub and plays with the water, splashing his hands and feet. The lady said that every time she sees the third young master walking into the water as if he were walking on a knife mountain, she can't help but think of little Tangyuan who is like a fish in water. Chun Yang agrees with a smile.
It was the reunion night, and it was a rare occasion that everyone was well and together. Wang brought Eleven over, and the whole family sat down neatly.
In previous years, if the elderly were not separated, or the men were away at war, or someone was ill, it would be impossible to greet the fifteenth with full joy. A full moon and beautiful flowers are easy to come by, but a happy family is more precious than gold.
This year, both sets of elders are here, his wife is in good health, the eldest son and daughter are growing up healthily, the youngest son and daughter are lively and cute, and Qin Xiuyuan smiles at Eleven as if he is in the spring breeze.
Eleven: ...leaned closer to his mother.
A pair of dolls sat on high stools, their hats and socks all matching light green. At first glance, they looked almost identical: fair and tender, with chubby heads and bright light-colored eyes. They stared at the fragrant table full of chickens, ducks, fish, cows, and pigs. Their little hands slapped the small dining table in front of their chests, making a loud bang. "Ah!" Their little arms couldn't reach or grab it, so they pointed at their own father, mumbling incoherently, drooling...
The father refused and pinched the two children's fingers for fun, which made the baby so angry that he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and yelled, "Ahh!..." and drooled again.
It's a bit incoherent.
With these two funny guys on the table, how could everyone not be happy? They treated them as food.
After the meal, the atmosphere was good, the food was delicious, and the mood was good.
Later, Chun Yang brought little Tang Yuan in. The three children, about the same size, looked at each other, their eyes busier and wider than the other.
Tangyuan's eyes were black and wide open. Wangshu was very happy. He washed his hands and went to hug little Tangyuan. Qin Xiuyuan saw this and stood up to support her with his arm - women's arms were not strong enough to tie a chicken, and the right arm that was useful in the past was not as good as the left arm... Usually, when he occasionally hugged the mistresses, he would sit down and hold them.
Chun Yang felt relieved. Little Tangyuan, now weighing over ten pounds, was not at all shy in the couple's arms. She reached out to grab the shimmering East China Sea pearl earrings on Wangshu's ear. Qin Xiuyuan extended a finger with his other hand for her to hold. "Little Tangyuan, do you like shiny little things too?"
"Xiuyuan, take off my bracelet." Wangshu raised his chin to tease her, and the little Tangyuan giggled, which was very funny.
"She just likes people teasing her like this! I don't know why it's so funny." Chun Yang was very happy because his daughter was happy.
Wangshu understood very well and explained it openly, "Because from her perspective, she sees everyone's two black nostrils moving around every day. It's very funny!"
After hearing this, everyone thought about it for a moment and then burst into laughter.
Wangshu raised his hand as he spoke, and the man took off a thin pink jade bracelet and handed it to the doll to play with. Chunyang, who was holding his waist with laughter, waved his hands quickly and laughed non-stop. He wanted to say something but couldn't, "Madam..."
"Let the little Tangyuan play with it."
Seeing that Mingxi couldn't be coaxed out of him, Wangshu pouted and was about to give him a wake-up call. He quickly gave up the doll and took out a red string to tie the bracelet and the doll's cloth button together. Chunyang couldn't refuse, so he held the little glutinous rice ball's hand and bowed to him...
"Chun Yang, come on, little Tangyuan is still drinking milk!"
"Madam, she's already learned to receive gifts before she's even a year old. She needs to learn to perform the rituals quickly..."
Wangshu rubbed his crooked smile and said, "It's getting dark, hurry up and take little Tangyuan back."
After dinner, a small table was set up in the yard, with moon cakes, peaches and plums, milk tea on it... It was a weird mixture, just as people arranged it.
A few people gathered around to admire the moon and chat. The children had gone to bed early. Wangshu, unable to appreciate the moonlight, felt a bit apprehensive and returned to his room early. Ji's parents and Lele helped make pancakes. Tired after a day, since their eldest daughter was away, they also returned to their rooms.
The remaining five people included the pair of children sitting on Qin Xiuyuan's legs, and Wang's mother and son.
"Wangshu means the moon, but he refuses to appreciate it." Wang was a little surprised. It was obvious that everyone at the banquet was having a great time, but he ran away as soon as it was time to appreciate the moon.
"The moonlight is bright but not warm, and the night is deep with heavy dew. She's really a little afraid." Qin Xiuyuan held his two children, who were sitting side by side in his arms, and whispered a warning to his son who kept sipping milk tea, "Yun Xiao, how many cups have you had? You've gotten up to relieve yourself three times in the night?"
Qin Yunxiao, who was still wetting the bed at the age of nine: ...Let go, I'm already obedient, beg for mercy, look up at the moon.
Originally, the fat boy only had his eyes and fair skin, like his father, but now he's grown taller and thinner, and his face is starting to resemble Qin Xiuyuan. With deep eyes, a high nose, and sharp eyebrows, he lacks the mature, steady, and heroic presence of his father. As a young boy, he has a kind of naiveté and uncouthness to his features.
But his long arms and legs make him flexible and agile, and he has great strength, and he inherited his father's martial arts talent.
"Old Tang said Yun Xiao is talented in martial arts, hardworking, and very strong. Could he be a little strongman who can lift a tripod?"
Qin Yunxiao paused, "I'm not."
