Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 918 Children’s Thoughts
The new emperor ascended the throne, started healthy cooperation with Nantai and Xiteng, and received compensation from Dongting. There were many happy events, so the Mid-Autumn Festival should not be taken lightly.

The emperor ordered a good party and allowed the courtiers to bring their families into the palace to attend the banquet and have a happy reunion.

This banquet was hosted by Concubine Liu, yes, the former Concubine Liu.

When the old emperor became the emperor, she naturally became the concubine. The original queen became the queen mother, and the old queen became the empress dowager.

The Queen was one month old, and the Emperor was reluctant to let her take too much care, and the Queen Mother was unwilling to take care of these matters, so naturally she could only leave it to Concubine Liu.

Although Mrs. Liu is already a concubine, she is still very young. She is interested in these things and has the mind to take care of them. It is best to leave them to her.

This is not the first time that Mrs. Liu has been in charge of such a banquet. When the old emperor was in power, she would always have banquets handed over to her, so she was quite experienced and reassuring.

The Lu family had been nervous and uneasy about entering the palace since the beginning. Now entering the palace feels like going home, but they don't have much reaction.

However, when entering the palace for a banquet, you still have to abide by the rules of the palace. Appropriate makeup and clothing are indispensable.

Therefore, Mrs. Sun still got up early in the morning to prepare, waiting for the maid to help her dress up, and then went to watch a group of children dressing up. As for He Jiuniang, she didn't have to worry, the third daughter-in-law would not let her guard down at the critical moment.

Waiting and waiting, Mrs. Sun suddenly felt a little melancholy. Suddenly, all the children in the family were so old. They were all good-looking and capable, and they were all good children who could bring glory to their ancestors.

And she is old too.

I have experienced all kinds of hardships and fatigue in my life, and to be able to live such a prosperous life now is that I have accumulated virtue in my previous life.

It's just that although we are rich now, our family is also very busy, and we can't have a reunion dinner together on festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Grandma, what are you thinking about?"

Lianhua saw that Sun was clearly looking at them, but tears filled her eyes. She hurriedly stepped forward and took Sun's arm to act coquettishly.

"Grandma, please help me see if this plum blossom hairpin looks good with my dress today?"

As Lianhua said, she compared the hairpin in her hand with her skirt, and forcibly pulled Sun out of her thoughts.

Mrs. Sun realized that she was a little out of sorts, sniffed and said with a smile, "You look good! You were born well, so naturally you look good no matter how you dress up!"

"Grandma, you really know how to make fun of me!"

Lotus's smile was sweeter than honey, and Mrs. Sun was infected and her mood improved a lot.

Suddenly I felt that this person just couldn't eat too much. If he eats too much, he would think too much and make himself feel bad.

It always takes a lot of time for little girls to dress up with jewelry. After a while, Mrs. Sun saw that they still needed a lot of time, so she prepared to walk around.

As soon as they came out of Lianhua and the others, they saw He Jiu Niang coming this way.

"They are not healed yet. It will probably take half an hour."

Mrs. Sun already knew that He Jiuniang was here to find Lianhua and the others, so she waved her hand.

"It's okay. Little girls love beauty and it's normal to like to dress up. I'm here specifically to see you, mother."

He Jiuniang came over affectionately and took Sun's arm, and the two of them walked towards her yard.

"What are you looking for me for? What's the matter?"

Mrs. Sun was a little surprised, but He Jiuniang smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when we get there!" Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes, but still followed her happily, with a sense of expectation in her heart.

"Blindfold your eyes first."

When they arrived at the main courtyard, He Jiuniang found a handkerchief, gently covered Sun's eyes, and then pulled her slowly toward the Octagonal Pavilion.

"What on earth is it? It's so mysterious!"

Mrs. Sun complained that this third daughter-in-law just liked to play these little tricks, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"We're almost there. Be careful of the steps. There's a stone at your feet. Sit down slowly..."

He Jiuniang coaxed her patiently. After she sat down, she took off the handkerchief covering her eyes.

Mrs. Sun slowly opened her eyes, and after seeing clearly what was on the stone table, she suddenly couldn't help but blush.

He Jiuniang said: "Sister-in-law, they can't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you and dad this year, but they are always thinking of us in their hearts. I specially made some dishes that you and dad like to eat, kept them fresh, and asked someone to deliver them over quickly. I asked The kitchen has heated it up, and although it doesn’t taste as good as when it was freshly cooked, it’s not much different, so try it quickly!”

Yu took the lead in cooking the dishes on the stone table, and Qin and Lu Guilan also helped to prepare two special dishes, both of which were the favorites of the two elders, as a sign of filial piety.

Originally, they wanted to take care of the things at hand as soon as possible and come to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the whole family, but they were really too busy and could only spend the festival with their elders in this way.

Mrs. Sun originally missed her sons and daughters in Jingzhou. She just felt that she was being hypocritical and was not satisfied with such a good life. Unexpectedly, the children knew her thoughts and tried every means to make her happy.

She was so moved that she couldn't say anything and could only shed tears.

He Jiuniang did not stop her immediately, but personally put some of each dish into a small bowl for her to taste.

"Stop crying, it won't taste good if your tears fall into the food soon."

He Jiuniang said, taking a chopstick for herself to eat, and sighed: "Sister-in-law's cooking is still as good as ever. I have been here for such a long time, and what I miss the most is my sister-in-law's good cooking!"

Although Qin and Lu Guilan also cook, what she really misses is Yu's craftsmanship. Cooking also requires talent, and what Qin and Lu Guilan cook is only slightly more delicious than hers. .

Of course, no matter what, this is what the two of them want, so she naturally won't say much.

Mrs. Sun was very sad at first, but when she saw that she had already eaten, she glared at her and hurriedly picked up her chopsticks to eat.

The taste was indeed not as good as freshly cooked food, but she felt the children's concern for her. With these external conditions, she felt it tasted better than anything she had ever tasted.

Thinking that she would have to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet later, she didn't eat too much. After tasting some of each item, Sun asked people to put them away. When the old man came back in the evening, he also let him taste the craftsmanship of his daughter-in-law and daughter.

Old Man Lu was addicted to chess and went out early in the morning. It would take a while before he could come back.

"Still sad?"

He Jiuniang smiled coquettishly and came up to her, making Ms. Sun a little embarrassed. She felt that she was really living more and more, and she was still like a child who needed to be coaxed by the children.

"Go, go, why are you so annoying!"

Mrs. Sun pushed her and said, "We are running out of time. Let someone call the old man back. Don't keep people waiting. It's annoying!"

He Jiuniang knew that she was embarrassed, so she didn't tease her too much. She agreed and was about to do it, but she saw Lu Baichuan and Old Man Lu coming back together.
