Chapter 319 Treat it as a matter to be handled properly
"Has Yuan'er returned?"
"Your Highness, we've returned."
King Jing was overjoyed to hear that Lin Anyuan had returned. "Perfect timing! He can spend the New Year with his family now."
He sent his personal eunuch to tell him to rest at home for two days before coming to see him.
Ye Wan slept until the afternoon before getting up.
I felt weak all over when I got up, and my lower back and knees ached.
They reappeared at dinner time.
Sanya asked directly, "Mom, why do you go to sleep as soon as Dad comes?"
Er Ya: "Didn't I already tell you? It's because Mom and Dad are going to have a little brother for us."
"Pfft, cough cough cough..."
Ye Wan was drinking water when she choked.
Hui Gu's face twitched, "Second Miss, you..."
“Auntie, don’t be so quick to judge me. I’m not a three-and-a-half-year-old child who doesn’t understand anything. Back in the countryside, I would have been engaged by now.” Er Ya spoke very quickly.
"As Mother said, it's better to guide than to block. If we just keep them from knowing anything, they'll be easily fooled. Besides, if anyone stammers and doesn't know anything, how did the child even come into the world?"
Ye Wan: ...
Hui Gu rubbed her temples. "Madam is right, but these things shouldn't be said when there are outsiders around."
Ye Hua was embarrassed and didn't know how to look up.
Er Ya: "Of course! It's just our family, isn't it? I'm not stupid."
Seeing Lin Anyuan's gaze coming their way.
Ye Wan said frankly, "I think this is a good thing. We shouldn't raise our daughter to be ignorant, so that she won't be easily deceived by men's sweet words in the future."
Being afraid to talk about sex and not letting girls know anything about it will ultimately hurt the girls.
This brat says everything she puts on the table; luckily, she's thick-skinned.
I trust you to raise the children.
Lin Anyuan stared intently at Ye Wan, unable to get enough of looking at her.
After dinner, it got dark, and when Ye Wan returned to her room, all she wanted to do was hit someone.
"Lin Anyuan, are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. Once you've had your fill of me, you can have someone else."
"..."
...
Ye Wan's nights were filled with misery.
The Spring Festival has quietly arrived before we even realized it.
The news was received on New Year's Eve.
King Jing is about to ascend the throne. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau has calculated the date, and he will ascend the throne after the Lantern Festival.
It seems like King Jing was afraid of trouble, so he simply decided to wait until after the Lantern Festival to deal with it.
I heard that the ancestral worship ceremony was held a few days ago, and that when King Jing offered incense, auspicious omens appeared in the sky.
"An auspicious omen?" Ye Wan turned to look at Lin Anyuan. "Pfft, you didn't create this auspicious omen, did you?"
Lin Anyuan touched his nose. "If you see through something, don't say it."
"Okay, okay."
Ye Wan was too lazy to move at all, and she didn't bother to ask what kind of auspicious omen it was. She had been reading too many storybooks lately, and they were all just the same few kinds of stories anyway.
We were supposed to go to the Wei family, but Lin Anyuan came back early and didn't go in person. However, the New Year's gifts had already been sent over.
This year's Lunar New Year celebration for the Wei family was more lavish than any other year in the past.
General Wei and his son Wei Shitou returned on New Year's Eve, and Prince Jing granted them permission to go home for the New Year.
That's right, General Wei's son was named Wei Shitou (Wei Stone), hoping he would be as hard as a stone. It was originally a nickname, but it gradually became his formal name.
Upon returning, General Wei's eyes widened as wide as a bull's when he saw the New Year's Eve dinner on the table.
"This...you spendthrift women, eating so well, are you not going to have your wedding tomorrow?"
There's chicken, duck, fish, meat, all sorts of vegetables, and two plates of fruit. If I ate this, I'd probably hang myself tomorrow.
The last dinner?
"What unlucky things are you saying? Get rid of the bad luck and come eat!"
Madam Wei, dressed in new clothes, sat there like a kind old lady, beaming with joy.
Sitting next to her was Madam Wei, also dressed in new clothes, and with two new pieces of jewelry on her head.
Wei Shitou clicked his tongue twice, "Really not going to do it?"
"Shut up!" Old Madam Wei glared at the old man and her son, telling them to wash up and sit down.
"Mother, where did this come from?" Wei Shitou couldn't help but swallow.
Wow, so much meat and so many vegetables! When have we ever had such a lavish feast during Chinese New Year?
The Wei family were military families. General Wei fought all his life, but that was only superficial. His family's life was actually not very good.
The Wei family used all their money to support the wounded or disabled soldiers. The imperial court only provided a small amount of compensation, and would not provide any further assistance.
General Wei was in charge, and he was in charge for thirty years.
Therefore, the Wei family, from top to bottom, had always lived a frugal life, and their New Year's Eve dinner had never been so lavish.
Madam Wei hasn't had any new clothes made for two years, and the women in the Wei family are the same.
Madam Wei picked up her chopsticks and put some food on her husband's plate. "This was sent by Madam Ye. She said it was to thank you for saving General Lin's life on the battlefield. She not only sent it to our family, but also to all the retired generals under your command. She said she would send it to every household during festivals. She doesn't have much, but she has plenty to eat."
This sounds like a determination to see things through to the end.
General Wei remained silent for a long time.
"This Lady Ye is truly a kind-hearted person."
"They are both good people."
He's old and now bears the reputation of a traitor. If it weren't for Prince Jing's magnanimity in still employing him, he would be no better than a rat crossing the street. How could he possibly care about those old soldiers and generals from before?
Now that Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan have taken over, those people's lives won't be so difficult anymore.
He was familiar with the game, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
General Wei saw wine on the table, picked it up, and drank it all in one gulp.
It was lukewarm, yet it burned him with spiciness.
Madam Wei instructed her grandson, "Xiao Ye, you should try your best. I'll say it again: if you can marry the girl raised by Madam Ye, I can die in peace."
While eating, Wei Ye took a moment to reply, "Grandmother, it depends on whether the person likes me or not. If they don't like me, it's all for nothing."
"You have no right to eat here, all you do is eat. You're such a big guy, what a waste."
Wei Ye just kept his head down and ate.
He's growing taller, and if he doesn't eat, he gets hungry quickly at night.
A while ago, my family distributed all the food to the veterans who had no food. Their family received a full portion of food every day, with no leftovers.
He was growing taller and often went hungry at night, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.
Madam Wei, who was standing to the side, spoke up, "Mother, relying on Xiao Ye alone won't do any good. I recently heard from a storybook that when a girl chooses a husband, she not only needs a good husband, but also a good mother-in-law. What do you think about me trying to get closer to Madam Ye?"
"Perhaps they've come to like me, and by extension, they've come to like my son too."
Madam Wei said, "What you said makes sense. Shi's family, give them a task."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more excited as they talked, and finally burst out laughing.
The three generations of the family standing nearby: ...
They're already excited even though it's still far from being settled.
