Tai Jiye didn't want to not get married, but he absolutely couldn't refute his father at this time.
He immediately consulted with his eldest brother and learned that the ice frozen in the iron bucket was too thin and brittle, so it would be better to go to the river outside the city to chisel ice blocks, which would be easier to carve.
Tai Jizu immediately said, "That's easy. I'll go to the river tomorrow morning. We have a sled at home, so it's convenient to pull it back."
Yang Lihua held Zhuzhu in her arms and listened to the conversation. Tai Jiye was delighted and teased Zhuzhu, "When Third Uncle makes some money, I'll buy you some snacks!"
Zhuzhu, however, showed no interest in food. Instead, she pulled the rabbit ears on her hat and shouted, "I want rabbits, I want flowers!"
Yang Lihua was inspired and said, "Third brother, the Min family is hosting a banquet for the young lady's birthday, so preparing some interesting ice lanterns would definitely be more to her liking. Also, the steward said that there are no flowers to enjoy in winter, so if we could carve some flower-shaped ice lanterns, that would be a good idea."
"Yes, yes!" Tai Jiye was so excited that he wanted to get ready immediately.
The old man sat aside, puffing on his empty pipe, thought for a while, and said, "I will go back now while the city gate is still open.
"If the second son comes, Yong'an will definitely not be able to sit still. It will be too late to leave Yongning and the second son's wife alone to guard the yard. Why not, let's all come to the city to help!"
Tai Jizu was worried about his father walking alone at night, so he quickly said he wanted to go back together.
The father and son quickly ate two bowls of porridge, made two torches, took sticks and hatchets for self-defense, and left.
Yang Lihua carried her daughter to the door. She was really worried, so she asked her daughter carefully.
"Zhuzhu, your father and grandfather will be able to get home safely tonight and will be back tomorrow, right?"
