Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 248
"Hey, senior sister, please come back soon. If you leave a few days later, you can spend the Double Ninth Festival with us!"

"Sister Zhen'er, it's okay, we can celebrate the Double Ninth Festival again later..."

……

Li Jiye and Li Qingnu boarded the ship again and set off!

The servants, officials, soldiers, etc. who accompanied the two brothers and sisters also left in one go.

Zhu Xiuyuan and others stood at the dock until Li Jiye and his fleet were too far away to see, and then everyone left.

"It would be great if I could spend the Double Ninth Festival with my senior sister!" Dong Shuzhen sighed on the way back.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help grinning and said to himself: "My wife, how come your position is so unstable? You were wary and wary of Li Qingnu at the beginning, but in the blink of an eye you became a sister to her. This is too... "

"Madam, there is no need to be sentimental. Brother Li and Her Royal Highness the Princess hold important positions after all. They are the envoys between Liang and Chen. How can they be playful and forget about business?" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Dong Shuzhen nodded and was silent for a while, then her face suddenly became happy again.

He smiled and said: "Double Ninth Festival, now my husband should accompany me to play in the mountains!"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and said: "That's natural. Since many disasters broke out in Jiangzhou, we haven't had a good time to go out and relax. Taking advantage of this Double Ninth Festival, we must go up the mountain, have a picnic for a while, and relax our body and mind!"

Dong Shuzhen shouted excitedly: "Okay!"

Then she started counting on her fingers: "I have to call my master, my father, my sister... Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, and naturally Chun Xue and Dong Mei are going too... Oh, and I have to call Shang Yan Dashan. It's a tiring job." You can leave all the work to him..."

……

……

Suddenly, it was September [-]th, the Double Ninth Festival.

The Double Ninth Festival is the golden autumn, the harvest season, the autumn air is crisp, and everyone is celebrating!
More than half a month ago, Jiangzhou suffered a catastrophe. Although the Jiangzhou elders worked together to overcome a series of natural and man-made disasters and achieved achievements that shocked the past and the present, everyone still felt depressed.

The elders in Jiangzhou urgently need a major festival celebrated by the whole world, which is lively and lively, so as to dilute all kinds of sorrow and sorrow, and welcome the new life after rebirth.

Double Ninth Festival, just in time!
So the entire Jiangzhou City, from the officials of the yamen to the common people of the lower ranks, all agreed to organize a special event on the day of the Double Ninth Festival to celebrate it.

Dong Mansion.

East Court.

Zhu Xiuyuan got up early and finished washing and changing clothes under the service of the little maid Qiu Wen.

Today is a happy day. Zhu Xiuyuan put on a new set of clothes. The little maid Qiu Wen also put on new clothes and dressed up a lot. The little maid had a round face and looked particularly happy.

When Qiu Wen helped Zhu Xiuyuan change clothes, Zhu Xiuyuan teased Qiu Wen so hard that the little maid's face turned red and she didn't dare to raise her head.

When Qiu Wen followed Zhu Xiuyuan out of the room and came to the small living room, Qiu Wen suddenly raised her head and seemed to remember something:

"Uncle, the eldest lady has just sent someone to invite the servants. The Double Ninth Festival cake, chrysanthemum wine, and some other food and drinks need to be checked and sorted by the servants to ensure that today's picnic on the mountain is safe. .”

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and waved his hand: "Oh, then go and do your work first. If you can't come back in time, follow Shuyu and the others up the mountain, and we will meet up on the mountain."

"Oh, okay uncle!" Qiu Wen left with small steps.

Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and there are fixed food customs.For example, eating Double Ninth Festival cakes and drinking chrysanthemum wine.The food in Dong's Mansion is usually made by the Mansion itself, and the Double Ninth Festival cake and chrysanthemum wine are no exception.

And Dong Shuyu is the "big steward" of the Dong Mansion, and at the same time has a talent for cooking, so the tasks of making Chongyang cakes and brewing chrysanthemum wine fell on Dong Shuyu.

Dong Shuyu mobilized people from all over the government to jointly complete the great task of making Double Ninth Cake and brewing chrysanthemum wine.

Qiu Wen was well-known throughout the Dong Mansion for her delicious food. She was more concerned about these cakes and drinks, so Dong Shuyu recruited Qiu Wen to join the "Dong Mansion Chongyang Food Preparatory Committee".

After Qiu Wen left, Zhu Xiuyuan walked around the empty living room twice and felt bored, so he walked into Dong Shuzhen's room.

"Husband, are you here?"

Dong Shuzhen was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking in the bronze mirror, dressing herself up.

"Where's Xia Wu?" Zhu Xiuyuan walked over slowly and stood aside to watch Dong Shuzhen put her hair into a bun.

"She went to get the dogwood from her sister. There are many places in our east courtyard where it needs to be inserted... Husband, help me hold down this place."

"Oh, okay!" Zhu Xiuyuan helped, but he didn't know how to dress the woman, so he could only help with some simple tasks, such as pressing her hair, or handing her hairpins and jewelry.

Zhu Xiuyuan helped, and he put his head behind Dong Shuzhen's head. Dong Shuzhen looked in the bronze mirror and could see the shadows of herself and Zhu Xiuyuan in the mirror.

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and said: "My wife is so beautiful!"

Although Dong Shuzhen is only [-] or [-] years old, she is very young, but women in ancient times generally matured precociously. A [-] or [-]-year-old woman, with a little makeup, looks like she is [-] or [-] years old!
In addition, Dong Shuzhen is a beauty herself. Although she has a slim figure, her face is really beautiful.

Her face has a bit of baby fat, and her facial features are delicate and delicate.

She also wore her hair in a "larger"-looking bun, with two pink flowers on each side, which made her whole head look larger. She had the characteristics of a young girl and was particularly cute!

"Husband~"

After hearing Zhu Xiuyuan's disgusting words, Dong Shuzhen's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Although she was shy, she was also smiling. Her shoulders shook when she laughed, and her delicate body trembled wildly. She was particularly lively and cute.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, but Xia Wu had already returned.

Holding several dogwood branches in both hands, with a face full of joy, she burst into Dong Shuzhen's room and shouted: "Miss, miss, the dogwood is back!"

However, after Xia Wu broke into the room, she saw the young lady and her uncle flirting there.

Xia Wu was stunned, and the loud shouting stopped abruptly. She swallowed, slowly exited the room, and said with a smile: "Miss and uncle, you continue..."

"You little hooves, what are you talking about!" Dong Shuzhen immediately chased Xia Wu out of the room and scratched Xia Wu's armpit.

Zhu Xiuyuan came out on his heels, saw Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu fighting for a while, and shouted: "Okay, let's plant the dogwood first, and after the dogwood is planted, we will go to have breakfast, and we should be able to set off after breakfast! "

"Okay!" Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu agreed in unison.

After Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, and Xia Wu worked together to put dogwood on the doors of all the rooms in the east courtyard, the three of them left the east courtyard and went to have breakfast.
