Five days before the full moon banquet, Village Chief Wang Gengfa came to find Lin Siyao to discuss the banquet.
"The Hua family's wife said that their family's full moon banquet will take three days. Starting two days earlier than yours, this …" What should he do!
Wang Gengfa wiped the sweat off his forehead.
It was already winter, but he was still sweating in front of Lin Siyao.
"The Hua family?
You didn't say anything when I borrowed the ancestral hall last time. "Lin Siyao frowned.
The full moon banquet had two more tables than the banquet. If the ancestral hall wasn't lent, Flower Town had no other place to hold the banquet.
The Hua family's eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a nine jin chubby son two days earlier than Shuiche, so the Hua family's wife told everyone she met.
Everyone in Flower Town knew that the Hua family was happy to have a son.
But holding the full moon banquet for three days seemed a bit too grand.
Although the Hua family was rich, they were also famous for being stingy. Now they were willing to spend on a banquet?
"How would I know that the Hua family would hold a full moon banquet for three days?
The youngest son of the Lu family who married into the family came to visit a while ago and brought a lot of gifts. He also said that if they didn't hold a grand banquet for their grandson, they would be looked down upon. "Wang Gengfa smoked his pipe as he spoke of the reason he knew.
"The Lu family?"
Lin Siyao curled his lips disapprovingly. The Lu family had a daughter and no son, so they probably hoped to adopt someone from their older brother's family to inherit their large family business.
"Yeah, the richest Lu family. They have a large business, but no heir. The entire Fanluo city is talking about whether Hua Kang is preparing to adopt one.
Now it seems that he is interested in the Hua family's grandson. "
"Then let's reserve Wuqin Zhai, so we don't have to worry about it."
Duke Jing and Princess Consort Jing, who had just come back from a stroll, heard the gist of it. The impatient Duke Jing quickly suggested.
"That's right, Ah Yao. It's cold on the sixth day of the New Year, and the banquet is held in the ancestral hall. It won't be able to block the wind, so we might as well invite all the villagers to Wu Qin Zhai for a good meal.
It's also a way to thank them for their concern. "Princess Consort Jing nodded with a smile. It was rare that she wasn't displeased with the old prince's impatience.
"Alright, that's settled then.
I'll go to Wu Qin Zhai later. If there's no big order on the sixth day of the new year, I'll buy the entire building. "
Lin Siyao nodded. Originally, he thought that the ancestral hall was close to home, so he didn't need to travel there. Moreover, after moving to Flower Town, all the banquets were held in the ancestral hall. Out of habit, he didn't think too far.
Now that the Hua family had made a fuss, it was not that he was afraid of the Hua family's woman pestering him endlessly. It was just that his mother-in-law was right. On the sixth day of the twelfth month, even if the weather was good, it was already the twelfth month of the twelfth month of the twelfth month. Shuiche and his two darlings would also have to appear. He did not want them to catch a cold at that time.
"But …" The village chief wanted to say that it would cost a lot of silver to book Wuqin Zhai.
If the entire town's villagers went, oh, wouldn't that be around twenty tables?
However, just as he opened his mouth to remind Lin Siyao, he remembered the identities of the two people in front of him. They were the Dahui country's princes and princess consorts ah.
"Village chief came at the right time. We husband and wife have something to discuss with village chief." Feng Caiyun turned and nodded at Wang Gengfa, indicating that he shouldn't be in a hurry to leave.
"Discuss … discuss?"
The graceful and luxurious princess consort actually said that she had something to discuss with him. Discuss, sigh. Wang Gengfa felt dizzy and didn't know how to respond.
He could only smile foolishly as he followed Prince Jing and Princess Consort Jing into the study.
Lin Siyao immediately sent Situ Yun, who came to play with the twins whenever he had time, to go to Wu Qin Zhai and book twenty-two tables. If possible, he would book the entire restaurant.
Previously, he didn't want to be so extravagant because he was worried that the residents of Floral Town would criticize his family and make irresponsible remarks.
He didn't care. Moreover, he didn't steal the money. However, Shuiche, who didn't like to be high-profile, would definitely be disturbed by the gossip.
But it was different now. Shuiche came from the Prince Jing Palace and was the Prince Jing Palace's legitimate fourth young miss. He could spend his money openly and no one would dare to interfere.
"Martial Uncle, on the day of the full moon banquet, Dabao said that he would also rush back to participate." Before Situ Yun left, he thought of the message that Tian Dabao had asked someone to pass to him.
Ever since the new residence was completed, the temperamental Tian Dabao actually fell in love with the timber business.
He cut down wood from various ownerless mountains and transported it to various cities to sell. After a few months, he gradually figured out the ropes and set up a timber store in a neighboring city.
In fact, in addition to selling timber, he also worked as a hidden sentry for the "Guang Ci Tower".
Of course, only Lin Siyao, Si Chong, and Situ Yun knew about this.
In the eyes of outsiders, Tian Dabao was still a fourteen year old timber merchant with a simple temperament.
Even his parents and elder sister didn't know that he had already cured the blood stasis in the back of his head a few months ago.
"Yes, it counts." Lin Siyao, who was walking towards the east wing, replied without turning his head.
"Ai, I think only Beautiful Sister has the ability to remove Martial Uncle's icy cold face." Situ Yun shook his head and laughed.
His martial arts were better than Dabao's. Therefore, after Dabao recovered his mind, Martial Uncle and Master discussed and decided that Dabao would take over his job. As for Lin Siyao, once he didn't have any missions for the "Guang Ci Tower", he would stay in the Lin family and take care of Su Shuiche, who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, as well as the extremely cute twins.
… …
"Yuner, how was my performance these past few days?
Was it considered gentle and humble? "
After the village chief left, Liang Xuanjing laughed and hugged Feng Caiyun, who was already thirty three years old but still maintained her appearance as if she was twenty-five or twenty-six years old. If she went out with En Xu, he could guarantee that no one would believe that they were mother and daughter.
They were just like sisters.
"It's alright." Feng Caiyun nodded her head disapprovingly.
At least, he wasn't as fierce and domineering as the villagers.
"Then … is there a reward?" Liang Xuanjing hugged his wife and walked towards the bedroom in the Bamboo Garden.
Although it was only noon, he couldn't wait until nightfall.
"Put away your dirty thoughts.
Restrain your bad temper for your daughter, and you still want a reward! "Feng Caiyun ignored him. This guy was infatuated!
All he wanted to do was to pester her to roll on the bed.
"Yuner, we've already wasted more than ten years, how can you bear to let me …"
"Stop it!
In these sixteen years, you've taken many concubines.
Look at those brothers of yours, other than the one in the Imperial Palace that I can't comment on, which one of them has more concubines than you? "Feng Caiyun glared at him and shook off his arm that was tightly wrapped around her.
"Isn't that all for …"
"To provoke me?
Liang Xuanjing, this sentence is really a good excuse. "
When Feng Caiyun heard him repeat this sentence that made her angry, she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart and kicked him. Then she turned around and walked towards the east wing where Su Shuiche was.
"Feng Caiyun!" Liang Xuanjing was flustered and exasperated.
He knew that he had neglected her for many years and had taken a concubine and given birth to a daughter right under her nose, deliberately provoking her to accuse him of that year.
His daughter had almost died because of someone, that wasn't something he wanted to see.
On the contrary, at that time, he was still running around to investigate and his pain wasn't any less than hers.
But she was good, always grabbing onto the fact that he had taken a concubine and given birth to a daughter without letting go.
This time, he brought her to visit his daughter, and according to her wishes, he wanted to buy a courtyard in Blossom Town. Wasn't it all so that she could live here and eat well in the future?
He was doing his best to make up for his mistakes in the past, what else did she want?
Could it be that she wanted him to divorce seven concubines, marry off all his daughters, and only let her go when he was with her?
Then would he, as a dignified Prince Jing, still have a place to put his face?
… …
"Mother … Mother, do you have something on your mind?"
Su Shuiche saw that after Feng Caiyun entered the room without saying a word, she was still staring blankly at Lin Xiao and Lin Long who were sleeping in the cradle. After she took a short nap, she still saw the same expression when she woke up.
This made her couldn't help but think of her mother in her previous life. After getting angry with her father, she would also be in a daze like this.
"Xu 'er … You … You're willing to call me Mother?"
Hearing Su Shuiche's gentle inquiry, Feng Caiyun came back to her senses. Her mind was filled with Su Shuiche's soft words.
"Mother, I … Everything in the past … I don't remember, do you … and … Father mind?" She was no longer the Liang Enxu in their hearts, but Su Shuiche who came from Suzhou in the People's Country.
After nearly a month of hard thinking, she figured it out. If they didn't mind, she was willing to accept this pair of warm and candid parents.
She would just treat them as her adoptive parents in this life.
Although, they were indeed her previous life's birth parents.
But the body wasn't hers, the soul was.
"Of course we don't mind.
The past wasn't a good thing for us.
It was just hard on you.
If you don't want to remember, then don't remember.
Good memories, we will accompany you to recreate them.
As long as you … As long as you are willing to recognize us.
Really, En Xu, Mother has regretted it every day for so many years. If it wasn't for Mother's coma after giving birth, how could I let you … "Before Feng Caiyun could finish speaking the grievances and regrets in her heart, she couldn't help but wail like a child. Su Shui Yong was so flustered that she was at a loss.
"Ai, you're already a grandmother, how can you still be like a child."
Liang Xuanjing, who came behind Feng Caiyun but didn't dare to enter the room to look at her face, was sitting outside sullenly. When he heard her crying grievances, he immediately rushed into the room and hugged her in his arms, comforting her softly.
"You … You … Don't mind me!" Feng Caiyun cried until she choked, but she didn't forget to glare at Liang Xuanjing.
Only, her small face full of tears and snot didn't have the slightest bit of momentum when she glared. Instead, Liang Xuanjing took the opportunity to make fun of her.
"Okay, I won't mind you. I'll make you lose face in front of your daughter and son-in-law."
Son-in-law?
Feng Caiyun blankly raised her head, only to discover that Lin Siyao was standing in front of her with Su Shuiche in his arms. Although his face didn't have the intention to make fun of her, she didn't miss the smile that flashed through his eyes.
"Still not accompanying me back to the room to wash up." Feng Caiyun stomped her feet and angrily kicked Liang Xuanjing before taking the lead to escape from the room.
"Haha … It's rare to see you shy."
Seeing this, Liang Xuanjing couldn't help but laugh in front of Su Shuiche and Feng Caiyun. He dropped a sentence: "Daughter, I'll discuss the matter of the courtyard with you later." Then he went out to chase after his wife who didn't mean what she said.
"Courtyard?"
Su Shuiche raised her eyes to look at Lin Siyao. Could it be that he didn't just want to buy a few acres of wasteland and build a two-story house like her own?
"He plans to buy the entire Floral Town." Lin Siyao held her in his arms as they walked towards the bed.
While the darlings were still sleeping, he really wanted to practice again, to see how her little hands had brought him a fiery passion …
