The time soon came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
It is said that the New Year is not celebrated until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This day is the end of the year, so it is as lively and important as New Year's Eve.
In previous years, people in Shenshu Village would steam lanterns and the whole village would go out to the town to enjoy the lanterns.
But not this year, because everyone is busy making money at Baijia Embroidery Workshop.
"How about I take my sister to the town to see the lights." Seeing that her family was too busy, Bai Panmei offered to take little Fuyuan to the town to celebrate the fifteenth day.
This proposal was quickly opposed by Mrs. Bai.
"No, what should I do if there are so many people today and they encounter kidnappers?"
Two years ago, when Bai Panmei took little Fuyuan to the town and met a kidnapper, the Bai family had a shadow in their hearts. It was absolutely impossible to let little Fuyuan be taken away at will.
what is it now?
In previous years, the whole family would take Little Fuyuan to the town to enjoy the lanterns. I felt sorry for Little Fuyuan if I didn't go this year.
After all, what kid doesn’t love fun!
But wool to keep out the cold at the border is needed urgently, and not even a day can be lost.
"Why don't Dazhuang and I take my daughter to the town to enjoy the lanterns? The two of us at home should be able to keep busy. At worst, we can light the lanterns and stay up late." Bai Banban didn't want to wrong his daughter at all.
In the past, you could go to the town to enjoy the lanterns, and you can do so this year too.
"That's okay." Old Mrs. Bai said.
At this time, Xiao Fuyuan came back from A Zhen's house and heard about the discussion about going to the town to view the lanterns. She ran to the white board and said, "Dad, I don't want to go to the town to view the lanterns."
Bai Banban touched his daughter's head and said, "It's okay, my daughter, you don't have to be so sensible."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
She is not sensible, but she really does not want to go to the town to view the lanterns this year.
After admiring it for so many years, I am tired of seeing those lights every year!
This year, A Zhen’s father sent A Zhen a lot of beautiful lanterns from the capital. A Zhen plans to hang these lanterns in Shenshu Village so that the people in Shenshu Village can have a lively Lantern Festival without going to town!
"Daughter, are you serious, our village will have lights this year?" Bai Banban asked in surprise.
"How can it be fake? Uncle He has already asked people to decorate it." Xiao Fuyuan said happily, "There are many, many shapes of lamps, which are much prettier than those in the town."
Many children were noisy and cheerful outside, and it turned out to be He Shun who told the people below to hang up the lights.
Sanlang took Xiaolang and ran out to take a look.
Because Dalang is involved in managing the embroidery workshop these days, he feels that he is no longer a child, so he keeps doing the accounting at home, but in fact his mind has already flown out.
As for Erlang, Erlang has no interest in anything other than studying.
Although this year's Lantern Festival is very busy, the Bai family still steamed buns, fried Yuanxiao and steamed noodle lanterns.
After lunch, the Zhongjing Hou Mansion in the capital sent a letter to Zhen.
The letter said that Mrs. Zhou of Zhongjing Hou Mansion had given birth to a boy. She wrote a special letter to announce the good news and thanked Xiao Fuyuan by the way.
In the letter, Mrs. Zhou repeatedly stated that it was because of Xiao Fuyuan's good fortune that she could successfully give birth to the heir apparent of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion.
Accompanying the letter was a cartload of gifts, most of which were for little Fuyuan.
In addition to the latest clothing and food items in the capital, there are also more than a dozen exquisite and beautiful lanterns.
"Hey, now the wife of Zhongjing Hou Mansion has fulfilled her wish." Xie Chuntao said.
"Each family has its own difficulties. Some people want a son, and some just want a daughter." Tian Maimiao rubbed her belly and began to look forward to the birth of her child.
"By the way, mother, what gift should we give to the Zhongjing Hou Mansion?" Xie Chuntao asked.
Zhen thought for a while and said: "The Hou Mansion lacks nothing. What I want most is for the young prince to grow up safely without any illness or disaster. Let's do this. You can give your sister's old clothes to the older men's. For clothes, go to the village where there are children and ask for some old clothes. After they are washed, I will cut and sew some clothes for the young prince."
Xie Chuntao hesitated: "Is this possible?"
In the village, if anyone has a new baby, they will be given old clothes, and there will be no bad luck.
"You heard me right. This is called Baijiayi in Beijing, and even the little prince asked for it from the people after he was born," said Zhen.
Xie Chuntao thought that her mother-in-law had grown up in Beijing and must know these things better than herself, so she agreed to go look for Xiao Fuyuan's old clothes.
"Mai Miao, I think you are tired. You should go and take a nap." Zhen said when she saw that Tian Mai Miao was a little low on energy.
Tian Maimiao was indeed a little sleepy, so she went to her room to take a lunch break.
Mrs. Zhen nodded lightly. The third daughter-in-law's belly was bigger than that of the eldest and second daughter-in-law. She was worried about whether she could give birth smoothly these days.
"Mom." When Xiao Fuyuan saw Tian Maimiao return to the room, she rubbed herself into Zhen's arms, put her head against Zhen's heart, and said, "Are you unhappy?"
Mrs. Zhen sighed, tapped Xiao Fuyuan's forehead and said, "You little clever guy."
This is admitting that you are thoughtful!
Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her daughter, Mrs. Zhen said with a worried look, "Your Aunt Zhou mentioned in her letter that the Queen Mother is not in good health."
Although Mrs. Zhen did not want to recognize the Queen Mother, she was very worried when she learned that her aunt was ill despite the family ties.
"Mom, the Queen Mother will be fine." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"There are so many doctors in the palace, everything will be fine. Mom is just worrying." Madam Zhen said with a smile in order to prevent her daughter from worrying about herself.
At this time, Bai Banban came in and heard the conversation between mother and daughter. He sat next to Zhen and said, "I said, mother, if you are really worried about her, why not go to the capital and take a look. I will accompany you." .”
Zhen thought for a while and shook her head: "Let's forget it."
Bai Ban said: "I know what you are worried about. Aren't you just worried that your cousin's family will do something evil to us? Whatever you are afraid of, you will have to face it sooner or later."
Now the white wooden board is not afraid of the Zhenguo Palace. The emperor even calls him cousin-in-law. Who is he afraid of?
If the Zhenguo Government really wanted to do something dirty to the Bai family, he planned to make it known throughout the capital. He didn't believe that the Zhenguo Government was shameless.
Xiao Fuyuan felt that what the white wooden board said made sense, and he echoed: "Mom, I think what dad said makes sense. If you want to see the Queen Mother, we will go to Beijing."
"That's right, you see, our daughter said she can go to the capital." Bai Banban said.
Ever since he met the emperor, he had indeed considered taking Zhen to the capital to meet the Queen Mother.
The important thing is not that the Queen Mother favors their Lao Bai family, but that the aunt and nephew will not leave any regrets in this life.
Bai Banban also has a selfish motive, which is to find the most hard-core supporter for his daughter. If Mrs. Shen Jiaru discovers Xiao Fuyuan's identity in the future, who would dare to attack her with the Queen Mother's protection?
He believed that the Queen Mother would like little Fuyuan very much when she saw him, and maybe even her illness would be cured.
Besides, I don’t live in the capital for a long time. I can only meet the Queen Mother once and for all for half a year.
Mrs. Zhen squeezed Xiao Fuyuan's fleshy hand and said, "Let's talk about this after the first month."
Bai Banban knew Zhen's temperament, so he changed the subject.
