Since Li Qi and his wife moved to Jiangpu, apart from the original Uncle Shen, they have not hired any other maids. A large part of the housework has been taken care of by Zhu Yuluo herself.

Although she has the noble status of Princess Lin'an, she does not think that doing these small household tasks is a kind of condescension. Instead, she can feel a tranquil and pleasant life interest from it.

One is a master chef and the other is an experienced housewife. Li Jingshu and Zhu Yuluo worked together and quickly prepared a table of exquisite and sumptuous home-cooked dishes.

Of course, there must be wine with the food, but when Zhu Yuluo poured the wine bought from outside into Li Qi's cup, Li Qi refused to drink it.

He didn't move the lamp, and Lan Qiao and other juniors didn't dare to move either. Everyone silently picked up the dishes on the plate and ate in small bites. The atmosphere was very depressing.

Li Jingshu turned her eyes and said: "It is said that there is a custom in the south of the Yangtze River. If a family gives birth to a daughter, they will use the glutinous rice from the three acres of land to make three altars of daughter's red, seal it and bury it deeply. It will not be buried until the daughter gets married.

Dig out these three jars of old wine and use them as dowry to enjoy at the wedding banquet."

"Do we also have these three jars of wine buried in our house?" The last sentence was asked by Zhu Yuluo, tilting her head.

Zhu Yuluo smiled and nodded: "Of course, and when we moved to Jiangpu, your father brought these three jars of wine with him and buried them in the backyard."

She suddenly understood what her daughter meant, stood up and said, "I'll dig them out right now. Let's see how your father refuses this time."

Li Qi frowned and said, "But this isn't a wedding banquet?"

"Our wedding banquet has been held in Peking a long time ago. Let's hold it again at home this time. Dad, please cooperate~" She acted like a little girl and begged, "If you don't drink, it will be a waste."

, Dad won’t still hope that he will divorce his daughter and wait until her daughter gets married again, right?"

"He dares!" Li Qi glared at Lan Qiao, "If you dare to treat Xiao Shu badly, I won't forgive you."

"That's right. If you see how stupid he is, you won't dare." Li Jingshu said with a sweet smile, "So let's open the three jars of wine today. Dad doesn't want to drink it, but my daughter still wants to taste it."

"Huh, who said I won't drink? Just wait." Li Qi said and got up, found a shovel from the woodshed, and went to dig in the backyard.

Zhu Yuluo and Li Jingshu looked at each other, and both mother and daughter smiled. Xiao Wuhen even raised his thumb: "High, really high."

After drinking wine, the atmosphere among everyone became much more lively.

Li Jingshu took advantage of the slight drunkenness and continued to tell the story between her and Lan Qiao, slowly recounting the ten days that "changed her destiny" in the capital. In addition to considering Xiao Wuhen's emotions, she deliberately concealed Liu Yueyao's story.

Lan Qiao drugged him, and then colluded with Liu Jing to try to get rid of Lan Qiao. Other experiences are basically consistent with the truth.

Xiao Wuhen sighed: "Well, with internal and external troubles, it's too difficult for the eldest lady."

Zhu Yuluo was more concerned about the fact that Li Jingshu was willing to become his domestic slave in order to ask for Lan Qiao's help, and then she had some girlish thoughts of little hope in her heart. Especially when she heard Lan Qiao call her over that night, she took a bath and changed her clothes specially. She was so shy.

She couldn't help but came to the door, but the result was a big surprise to her.

Zhu Yuluo, who is also a woman, naturally understood her daughter's complicated emotions when getting along with her sweetheart. She rolled her eyes at Lan Qiao and scolded him with a smile: "You are indeed a big stupid fish. You don't understand a girl's thoughts at all."

Li Qi, however, disapproved and said: "If he really takes advantage of others' danger and takes advantage of our daughter, it will only make me look down on him even more."

Lan Qiao responded indifferently. Seeing that Li Jingshu was a little tired from talking, he took the initiative to tell her what happened next. He started with taking Li Jingshu out of the capital, then talked about going to the East China Sea to fight against the Japanese, and finally talked about him, Li Jingshu, Feng Yeling, etc. The people fought hard against the Tatars at Juyongguan.

When Li Qi saw his beloved daughter return this time, his feelings were actually quite complicated, and it could be described as mixed joy and sorrow. He was happy that his daughter had finally found a satisfactory home and was willing to share her hidden secrets with her family, but Lan Qiao was worried. The powerful faction belonging to King Yan had already married Feng Yeling as his official wife before Li Jingshu.

The fact that he was willing to take out three jars of Nuerhong that had been buried for more than 20 years showed that although he felt awkward, he finally reluctantly admitted Lan Qiao's identity as "son-in-law", but after all, he was not very happy and drank a few more drinks unconsciously. .

Now that he heard about Lanqiao's experience in fighting against the Japanese in the East China Sea, including the legendary story of Shen Xinliu, his impression of Lanqiao Feng Yeling and others could not help but change greatly.

"That little girl from the Feng family has been very courageous since she was a child. She used to get into trouble a lot in my house." When he heard that Feng Yeling led his troops to burn down many Japanese warships at the port of Erlong Island, Li Qi agreed sincerely. He nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would really be successful when I grow up."

"It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise it would have been a joy in life to be able to fight alongside her."

Then he heard the sisterly affection shown by the two girls when Li Jingshu confessed her identity to Feng Yeling at Xiaoyuntai in Juyongguan, and he sighed again. Finally, he heard that Lan Qiao appeared to save the two girls, and everyone chased Gui Lichi for thousands of miles. He couldn't help but feel his blood welling up, and he slapped the table passionately and said: "Kill those Tartars."

Zhu Yuluo smiled and said: "It is the greatest blessing that you can not forget the old relationship and live happily together."

Lan Qiao was about to continue talking, but Li Jingshu smiled and stuffed a piece of elbowflower into his mouth, indicating to him to eat first, while she talked about her experience after returning to Peking.

She talked about Zhu Di's marriage proposal all the way to the wedding night, not forgetting to bring along the "acrostic poem" written for her by Lan Qiao.

"Falling in love with the jungle birds, wandering freely among the flowers..."

Li Qi was originally a scholar. When he heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He shook his head and said: "I don't know anything, I don't know anything! I distort the poems. In order to please women, the scholar loses his face."

Zhu Yuluo defended Lan Qiao and said, "That's also to please our daughter."

Seeing Lan Qiao's face red and sulking while eating food, she put another chicken wing into his bowl: "Mom supports you, just ignore him."

Finally, she talked about the assassination of Liang Mengxing, Zhang Zhongjie and others on the wedding night, which shocked Zhu Yuluo to the point of fear. Li Qi heard Leng Han's command when he was present, nodded and said: "Leng Yiming is indeed a man, my old Li family I owe him."

After finishing the food and drinks, Zhu Yuluo first tidied up the hut where Uncle Shen lived and let Xiao Wuhen, who was pregnant, go in to rest. Then she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Lan Qiao took the initiative to help. Li Jingshu said, "The gentleman is far away." "Chef" and pushed him out again.

So the mother and daughter chatted while cleaning up, inevitably including some topics that were inconvenient for men to hear.

"Looking at your father, it seems that he just reluctantly accepted Huaiyuan and was not really very happy." After washing the dishes, Zhu Yuluo saw that Li Jingshu looked tired and dusty, so she helped her prepare her limestone bathtub and gave it to her. Boil hot water for bathing.

"To be honest, my daughter is very happy to see progress like today." Li Jingshu stroked the tub, feeling the loose and porous material of the limestone, and said quietly, "At first, I thought dad was going to kick us all out.

Woolen cloth."

"Your father is just stubborn. Sometimes he admits it in his heart but still refuses to forgive. Just ignore him." The hot water was ready. Zhu Yuluo carefully helped her daughter take off her clothes and brought it back.

towel, and helped her sit in the tub.

Li Jingshu blushed and said: "Mom, I can do it by myself, I'm not a child."

"As a mother, isn't it natural for me to wait on my daughter to take a bath?" Zhu Yuluo smiled and said, "My mother has missed you for too long, so please give me a chance and let her do her best again."

Li Jingshu saw that she didn't mean what she said and seemed to be hesitant to speak. She couldn't help but said, "Mom, there is something else you want to say to me."

"You saw it." Zhu Yuluo chuckled and scratched her head in embarrassment, "Your father can't agree with Huaiyuan in his heart yet, but if..."

Li Jingshu saw her mother looking suspicious and asked curiously: "But what?"

Zhu Yuluo looked at her beloved daughter's flat belly and said with a smile: "But if your father can hold his grandson, he might change his mind."

"Mom!" Li Jingshu was extremely shy and said, splashing water in the bathtub, "You laugh at me too!"

"Besides..." she lowered her voice again, "this kind of thing is not something that my daughter can control alone."

"Mom, let me find a way for you." Zhu Yuluo seemed to be no longer the noble and dignified Princess of Lin'an at this moment, but a very good playmate with Li Jingshu. She picked up the dress she had changed and hung aside like a mischief, and smiled slyly,

Then he lifted his feet and walked away.

"Mom, where are you going?" Li Jingshu was suddenly startled, "Hurry up and put down my clothes!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuluo seemed to have suddenly gone deaf and heard nothing. After exiting the bathroom door, she carefully closed the door again, leaving only a small crack.
