Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 352 Reunion

Fast forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the soldiers in the northwest were unable to sleep at night because of the war, let alone reunited with their families, but this would not affect the luxurious and bright days in the imperial city thousands of miles away.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a big banquet in the palace as usual, and all the ladies of the aristocratic family received royal invitations from Queen Cao to the palace for the banquet.

 After Jingshu received the imperial invitation, she made excuses to shirk it.

The Queen invites her, so it is not in line with the rules for Jingshu to evade like this, but it is expedient. There are more than one person in the palace who wants to frame her. Li Ling is not at home, and Jingshu is a woman, so naturally It's about finding ways to protect yourself.

　　In previous years, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how busy Li Ling was, he would still find time to spend it with Jing Shu and the children. This year, Li Ling was away from home during the war, so Jing Shu could only spend it with the children.

It has been half a year since Li Ling left for the Western Expedition. The two children have already missed their father very much. Brother Xuan has always been sensible. Although the little one feels uncomfortable, he never cries in front of his mother. Sister Bao has been taken care of by Li Ling. She is so spoiled that because she can't see her daddy, she either makes a fuss about not eating for three days, or makes a fuss about not being able to sleep without her daddy.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the men in the house are taking a break. In order to prevent the children from feeling lost because their father is not at home on such a day, Jing Shu got up early in the morning and ordered people to bring the ingredients for making moon cakes to the upper room and brought them herself. The children made mooncakes to pass the time and distract their thoughts.

The two little guys learned to make mooncakes from their mother for the first time. They were both very excited. Ziyun cleaned their hands for them, and the brother and sister couldn't wait to join their mother in making noodles.

After the dough was mixed, Jingshu and the children kneaded the dough into long strips, then cut the noodles into small pieces with a bamboo knife, and patiently taught the children to knead the dough into small balls.

Eminem looked at Sister Bao's rare serious and well-behaved look from the side, and the old man's face turned into a smile like a flower, and he said happily: "Sister Bao is getting better and better these days without being spoiled by my uncle. "

As she said that, she looked at Jingshu and said: "I think this Sister Bao now looks a bit like you when you were a child. When the eldest lady was as old as my sister, every time I made snacks, I had to follow along. .”

After hearing this, Ziyun echoed: "So our eldest lady is proficient in everything, and the snacks she makes are even more memorable after eating them."

Sister Bao kneaded a piece of dough, held it in front of Jingshu, raised her little face and chirped: "Mother, do you think I can knead this dough?"

Jingshu picked up the handkerchief and tried the flour on her daughter's little face. She praised her daughter with a smile, then picked up a spoon and scooped out the filling and stuffed it into Sister Bao's soft dough.

Sister Bao stared at the filling and asked, "Mom, don't you put too much honey in the filling of this mooncake? I made this mooncake for my father, and he doesn't like it to be too sweet."

Jingshu touched her daughter's head and replied with a smile: "Sister, you are really filial. Don't worry, my mother only put a little honey in these fillings."

After listening to her mother's words, Sister Bao felt relieved. She followed Jingshu's example and carefully put the stuffed dough into the mold little by little.

Brother Xuan on the side was learning as he was making, and made the mooncakes without any help from adults. After he put the mooncakes into the grinding tool, he used a small bamboo skewer to draw the word "团" in the middle of the mooncakes.

Jingshu looked at her son's slightly crooked handwriting on the mooncake and asked Brother Xuan with a smile: "Brother Xuan, is this mooncake also made for daddy?"

Brother Xuan looked at his mother and said with a smile: "My sister has already made mooncakes for my father. I made this mooncake for my mother. Brother Xuan hopes that my father will come back to reunite with us soon, because my mother and sister are both I miss my daddy." Jingshu looked at her sensible son happily, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xuan, do you miss your daddy too?"

Brother Xuan nodded towards his mother and replied: "Brother Xuan misses my father too, but he warned me when he left. Even if he misses me, he can't do it before my mother, otherwise my mother will get angry."

After hearing this, Jing Shu felt warm in her heart and almost shed tears.

In the evening, Ziyun Danzhu and the other little girls served fruit moon cakes and sake in the yard. Jingshu, Amu, Ziyun Danzhu and others took Xuan Geerbao and sister to enjoy the moon in the yard.

 After a while, Xu Wanning and Ping Yang also came over with their children.

Today, the whole family in the Xiangwu Palace has just had a reunion dinner together. This evening is a time for families in each house and courtyard to reunite together, but Xu Wanning and Pingyang are worried that Li Ling is not here, and Jingshu will inevitably be lonely with the children alone. Then he brought the children over to stay with her.

The three sisters-in-law have always been harmonious. Since it was Xu Wanning and Pingyang who cared about her feelings, Jingshu did not refuse. The three of them sat in the yard drinking tea and chatting, while the children chattered and played with fruits.

 At the beginning, it was a harmonious scene, but after a while, Brother Erlang Ping and Brother Sanlang Xuan were fighting together again.

The two boys are now four years old and have strength. Jing Shu, Xu Wanning and the wet nurses spent a lot of effort to pull the two little guys away from each other.

Jing Shu and Xu Wanning were sweating from the two boys. They each pulled their sons. The two boys were covered in dirt. Although they were restrained by their mother, they were still like aggressive little cocks. Unconvinced, he kicked his opponent's legs and extended his fists.

 Xu Wanning used a handkerchief to help her son dust the dust on his body, while complaining: "These two little brats have to be taken care of by my second brother."

As he spoke, he glared at his son and threatened, "Stop making trouble. If you make trouble again, my second uncle will come back and kill you."

After hearing this, Brother Ping stopped shouting and muttered unconvincedly: "Even if the second uncle comes back, hum! I'm not afraid either."

The two little brothers would fight when they got together, and everyone was accustomed to it. After a while, the two of them were playing together again.

Sister Zhuang was eight years old. She was born with a graceful and graceful appearance, and she already had the graceful and graceful appearance of a little girl. After eating mooncakes with her younger sisters, she had someone bring her a pipa and sit under the osmanthus tree to play it. Play it.

The younger sister always likes to stick to her elder sister. The second sister Erbaojie, the third sister Erbaojie, the third sister Erqingjieer and the youngest sister Wan'er also do the same. As long as they are with the eldest sister, the little ones will listen to the eldest sister's orders one by one. .

At this moment, Sister Zhuang was sitting under the tree playing the piano, and several children were sitting around her obediently. Sister Bao tilted her little head, Sister Qing held her chin with her two little hands, and Sister Wan opened her little head. Their mouths were drooling, and everyone looked at the eldest sister with admiration.
