"It's this little stone." Su Xingyi spread out the stone he was playing with in his hand. "It just flew over from a distance and almost hit your mother. Luckily, Dad pulled your mother away in time, otherwise the consequences would be serious."
Su Ning'an frowned and took the pebble in his hand to look at it. Why did it look so familiar?
"Were all the men in black thrown into the river?"
Su Xingyi said, "There's no man in black at all. I wonder who threw this little stone..."
Su Ningan was shocked. Could it be him who did it?
"Let's go. We'll talk about this after we get off the boat." Xiao Lingyu took Su Ning'an's chubby hand and got off the boat.
"Madam Su." Lin Kun stepped forward respectfully. "I'm glad you and your wife returned safely. Your eldest son is said to come to the dock to pick you up at this time every day. He was so unhappy when he couldn't pick you up just now. Now he can pick you up now. Look how happy he is."
Xiao Lingyu lowered his eyes to look at Su Ning'an, who looked up. "My second brother, third brother, and sister all missed you very much and wanted to come to the dock to pick you up. I was worried that human traffickers would abduct them, so I didn't let them come. Let's hurry back to Lu Mansion, they are waiting for us."
"Okay." Xiao Lingyu led Su Ning'an to the carriage and asked Su Xingyi to hand the ten-pound mooncake wrapped in white wax paper that was made on the boat to Lin Kun.
Lin Kun almost lost his grip and quickly held it in his arms. "What is this? It feels like it weighs ten pounds."
Su Xingyi smiled and said, "...This is a large mooncake made by my wife. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so I sent some to Master Miao in advance."
It turned out to be a mooncake! Lin Kun was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
The princess always brings them surprises.
“Is this the only one?”
Xiao Lingyu lifted the car window curtain and said, "This is not a unique one. There are large mooncakes like this in the capital. I will come to the government office this afternoon. I have something important to tell Lord Miao. Please report it to Lord Miao in advance."
It was not difficult for Lin Kun to guess that it was probably another way to give political achievements to Lord Miao.
"Okay, Madam Su, I will deliver the big mooncake to Master Miao."
After Lin Kun escorted the carriage for two streets, he turned and returned to the yamen.
"Sir, come and eat mooncakes."
Miao Xiantong frowned, looking displeased, "It's not Mid-Autumn Festival yet, why are we eating mooncakes...this...is a big tea cake?" Miao Xiantong asked when he saw the mooncake wrapped in thick white wax paper handed to him.
"These are mooncakes made by the princess. She said there are only mooncakes this big in the capital."
Miao Xiantong's gloomy face brightened up instantly. Only officials of the fourth rank and above in Beiyi could enjoy such a big mooncake at the palace banquet.
He actually got to eat the big mooncake made by the princess one day. If his colleagues knew about it, wouldn't they be envious and jealous? "Quick, bring the knife. I want to taste a small piece..."
"Children."
"Ah! Dad and Mom, you are back." The three brothers and sisters put down their pens, ran to the yard, and surrounded Xiao Lingyu and Su Xingyi.
She kissed, hugged, and acted coquettishly, sticking to the couple in the yard and talking for half an incense stick of time.
"Mom, you can't leave me for so long next time." Xiao Xier said aggrievedly: "Next time you go on a long trip, you must take me with you no matter what. You can't leave me behind again."
Seeing Xiao Xi'er's aggrieved face, Xiao Lingyu quickly coaxed her, "Okay, next time, Mommy will definitely take you on a long journey and show you the beautiful mountains and rivers of Beiyi."
"Let's go, kids, back to Luoxia Cottage."
"You want to take the children away right after you get back?" Sisters Lu Yuan and Lu Yao rushed over together after hearing the news.
"I won't agree. We've taken care of these children for quite some time, raising them to be plump and healthy. We've invested a lot of love in them. I can't bear to let them go back with you now."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Thank you for helping me take care of the children. This is not just a thank you, but I have prepared a small gift for you. Please accept it."
Su Xingyi took a large square box from Yan Wei, handed it to the two sisters, and said with a smile, "Open it and take a look."
Lu Yuan opened the box, revealing a large mooncake wrapped in white wax paper. Surprise flashed in his eyes, "Could this be the Jin Yu Man Tang Fu Shou Tea Cake?"
"It's not a tea cake." Su Ning'an hadn't seen the true appearance of the big mooncake. "It's the big mooncake made by my mother."
moon cake?
Lu Yuan found it unbelievable, it didn't look like it.
While Lu Yuan was still hesitating, Lu Yao lifted the wax paper and a sweet fragrance came to her nose. A jade rabbit lying on the cake suddenly appeared in her sight.
The four little ones were drooling. They had just had breakfast less than an hour ago, so why were they suddenly hungry?
"This is ten kilograms of mooncakes, and there are twenty kilograms as well. We'll eat the twenty kilograms together on Mid-Autumn Festival. These ten kilograms of mooncakes were just made on the boat this morning. Don't wait until Mid-Autumn Festival to eat them. Do you want to try some now?"
"Yes!" the four little ones said in unison. They hadn't eaten the food cooked by their mother for a long time and missed the taste of her food.
There were ten kilograms of mooncakes, and Su Ningan ate five kilograms by himself, and the remaining five kilograms were divided up among others.
"Xiao Yu, besides the chicken with egg yolk and candied dates, what's the fourth ingredient? It tastes sweet and not greasy, much better than the usual mooncakes."
Xiao Lingyu smiled mysteriously, "The ingredients are confidential... Can I take the children back to Luoxia Cottage now?"
Lu Yuan shook his head. "Luoxia Cottage has been dusty for a while now, so I'll have someone clean it up. You can stay at my house today. Just think of it as letting Xiao Xier sleep with me for another night, okay?"
Xiao Lingyu looked at her face and reached out to check her pulse.
"How is it? Am I getting better and better?"
Xiao Lingyu glanced sideways at Xiao Xier who was happily eating mooncakes next to him, and immediately understood.
"You've recovered better than I thought." Xiao Lingyu pulled Lu Yuan away and whispered in her ear, "You don't need six months to recuperate. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you might be able to have a child."
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it next year?"
Xiao Lingyu was a little embarrassed to say the word 'consummation of marriage'. "You've been in a good mood lately, and you've been taking the prescriptions I gave you on time. I originally planned to recuperate for six months, but now we can do it earlier."
"in advance?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "Yes, it's just what you think."
Lu Yuan realized what was happening and was delighted. "Then I'll let you know if I'm pregnant after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. I'll let the children stay here tonight, so Xingyi and I won't bother you any more. Tomorrow morning I'll take the children back to Guihua Village, and we'll spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together in Huayang County in three days."
Lu Yuan said, "My mother-in-law is the eldest daughter of the head of the Meng family. I have already sent a message back to my mother-in-law. I will take you to introduce my mother-in-law on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised that Si Chuyu's mother was actually a member of the Meng family.
"Then A Yuan will have to worry about it."
Lu Yuan thought: If you reveal your identity in front of the head of the Meng family, the Meng family will do things for you obediently.
"Oh, it's nothing. My mother-in-law is...very easy to talk to."
