May 15.
Song Xintong took Lu Yunkai out to work in the Imperial Academy with a big stomach. "Li Quan won't be allowed to come back for lunch at noon. You can make do with it in the Imperial Academy. Later, I'll make some delicious food for you when I pick up my mother."
"I'll take leave with Mr. Zhang. I'll go out of the city to meet my mother later..." before Lu Yunkai finished, song Xintong interrupted him hastily: "there's an inspection in the Hanlin academy today. Don't be caught by someone who has a heart."
"You go quickly, I work son you still don't trust?" Song Xintong gently patted a wrinkle on Lu Yunkai's official dress, "go quickly."
"Be careful then." Lu Yunkai also told the Daya on one side, "be careful with your wife, and drive slowly."
"Yes, uncle." Big Ya said.
"Well, go quickly, don't be late." Song Xintong waved to him, "make your favorite bamboo shoot soup in the evening."
After Lu Yunkai's figure disappeared in the alley, song Xintong turned back and walked into the yard. He touched his stomach, which had already been slightly pregnant. "He thought I was warm."
Daya said with a smile, "the girl is not alone now. My uncle is naturally worried about you."
"I'm a porcelain man." Song Xintong sweet distress, "the house is packed up? When we're ready, we're ready to pick up at the dock. "
"Meet grandma?" Nuan Nuan came out of the room. "Nuan Nuan wants to go too."
"OK, let's go together." Song Xintong was relieved to leave her at home.
After finishing up, they drove out of the city and headed for the wharf.
After Lu Yunkai entered the Hanlin academy, song Xintong wrote to Lu's mother to report the happy event that Lu Yunkai won the number one scholar and then entered the Hanlin Academy. On the 10th of May, they received a letter from Lu's mother saying that the twins also won the entrance examination of Tong Sheng, but the scholar failed in the examination, and they still need to work hard for three years.
They also said that they had set a ticket in mid April, and they would arrive in the capital on May 15, accompanied by Zhuang He and Xiaoyue, while the Yangshu couple and Zhuang GUI couple stayed in Taohua village. First, they were sold from the capital and worried that returning to the capital would cause trouble to Lu Yunkai. Second, there was a big base camp in the village, which could not be abandoned.
Poplar, what they think is all reasonable. The place of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, can fall into a place of eternal doom without paying attention. They don't want to be recognized by their former owners and make trouble for song Xintong. It's thoughtful of them.
Song Xintong doesn't think it's that serious. How can those noble people care about your servant? However, song Xintong won't say anything. After all, Taohua village still needs to be watched.
I can only wait for them to arrive, and then I will find some servants to go back.
The docks in the capital are more prosperous than those in the south of the Yangtze River. People come and go, and they are very busy.
It was already noon when song Xintong and his wife arrived at the wharf. After inquiring about it, they learned that the boat would not arrive until about three minutes later, so song Xintong took wennuan to the restaurant and had a good meal first.
After eating, they went to the next teahouse waiting for customers and sat down. They were holding the window and looking at the wide and busy River on the other side of the pier.
"Mother, grandma hasn't come yet?" Wennuan asked.
"It's going to be a while." Song Xintong said.
"What if grandma is hungry?"
"I'll see if they have lunch on the boat. If not, let's go to the restaurant again."
"Good." Nuan Nuan holds her cheek. "Uncle's here, too?"
"Here we are." Song Xintong will warm back to the chair to sit down, "don't climb up and down, fell can do?"
"No way." Warm immediately do, looking at Song Xintong's stomach, "mother's stomach good big."
Song Xintong touched his stomach, "there is a younger brother or sister in it, so it's big."
"It's my brother." "Niang, dad said that I came out of Niang's belly, too. I'm so big?" she said
"Well, it's bigger than that." Song Xintong felt his stomach and felt a little strange. When he was pregnant, his stomach was only five months old, but now it's only three months old. I don't know if it's too good recently? But she has been pregnant and vomiting, until three months to better, this short half a month time to eat too much?
"So big?" Warm hands open, depicting the appearance of a big watermelon, "as big as a big watermelon?"
"Well, much more than that."
"Here comes the boat, girl." Daya hurried upstairs and reported the news to song Xintong, "I'm going to pick up my wife now."
"Well, we'll follow you downstairs." Song Xintong got up and pulled wennuan, "go, let's go to see grandma and uncle."
"Mother, walk carefully." Warm clever sensible holding song Xintong, Dad can say, in the outside when people can't bump into the mother.
When the mother and daughter came to the carriage, they heard someone shouting to them, "sister, warm."
Following the voice, I saw the twins coming towards the crowd. The 10-year-old twins had grown taller and became handsome young men. Like their brother-in-law, they had a warm smile.
"Uncle." Wennuan immediately hopped and yelled.
"Warm." The twins stood in front of song Xintong, who was already as tall as her, "what did you two eat this year? Why are you so tall? "
Big treasure embarrassed smile, "autumn mother-in-law said we and Dad, grow tall."
Song Xintong looked at the twins who were similar to his father and nodded happily: "where's her grandmother?"
"Auntie's in the back." Xiaobao is also steady. "Brother Dayi, they are unloading the salute. Sister Daya is helping to load the carriage. We can't wait to see elder sister wennuan."
"Are you ready for dinner?" Asked song Xintong.
"Not yet." Dabao said, "the food on the boat is not good. My aunt has no appetite."
"Just in time, sister ordered a table in the restaurant." Song Xintong looked at the direction of the boat, "you two take wennuan and sit in the restaurant first. Let Xiao Er Tian have a look at what else you want to eat."
"Good."
Song Xintong goes through the crowd and walks to the pier. At a glance, he sees Daya and Xie Yi loading their luggage on the temporarily rented truck. "Niang, sister-in-law Juan."
"Xintong, you've come here. We'll go and look for you when we're done here." Juan's sister-in-law holds Xie Jun, who is also under three years old, and says happily.
Lu's mother looked at Song Xintong and was also happy. She took her hand and looked up and down. She said, "how is the child?"
"Mother, it's fine." Song Xintong looked around. There were too many people here. "Niang, when we're finished, we'll go to the restaurant for dinner first. After dinner, we'll rush back to the city. Xianggong is still waiting for us at home."
"Then go straight back to the city, so you don't have to go to the restaurant again." Said sister-in-law Juan.
"It'll be another hour from here to the capital. We'll be on our way when we're full."
Sister Juan: "so far away? I thought it would take less than a quarter of an hour to walk like our County pier. "
Song Xintong teased the spirit of Xie Jun, "still far away, Xiao Jun is hungry, come on, follow my aunt to have dinner there."
As soon as he heard about the meal, Xie Jun became energetic. "Mother, have a meal."
Sister Juan could not laugh or cry: "this child."
