Chapter 361 360 Breeze and Cicada 7
Mountains, fields, and hillsides to escape the summer heat, such days passed by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, ten days went by in a flash. Even Mr. Fan and his wife, who did not have official positions, had to return to the capital to deal with some miscellaneous affairs, not to mention Zhao Lan and others who had official positions.
In the evening, the female servants packed their clothes and prepared to go back tomorrow.
As dusk falls, lanterns are hung under the corridors, and children are chasing and playing in the yard. The cheerful laughter of childhood floats towards the quiet mountains with the evening breeze.
Su Yanzu and Shangguan Yu were playing chess in the corridor, while Fan Yanjia and others were watching the game from the side. Thinking that it was not easy for a group of people to get together, Su Ruojin asked Nanny Sui to prepare two large tables of sumptuous dishes for a good meal.
The dishes were served, and Su Ruojin shouted to the corridor, "Uncle, Master Shangguan and Master Fan are ready to eat."
Su Yanzu turned around and smiled, "Got it."
Since marrying the princess and living in great wealth, Su Yanzu seldom enjoys being interrupted while playing chess. Of course, if he is interrupted while playing chess, it is either by someone of high status, in which case the interruption is a sign of power; if it is interrupted by a servant, it is courting death. Only the sweet and crisp cry of his little niece, with the warmth of family, allows him to enjoy it.
He smiled and said, "Ayu, let's go and have dinner." He stood up without caring that the chess game was not over yet.
When the children saw that the adults had finished their work, they all ran up from the yard and said, "Dad, the cicada flew away. Can you help me catch another one?"
Su Huairan ran with sweat all over his forehead and rushed straight into his father's arms. Su Yanzu bent down, easily picked up his son, and lifted him up and turned his head, causing the little guy to giggle non-stop, "Dad, I want to spin around again."
The younger sister refused to give in and clung to Su Yanzu's legs, "Daddy, hold me... I want to spin around too..."
This is his little cotton-padded jacket, so of course Su Yanzu put his son down and hugged his daughter, lifting her higher and spinning her more happily.
The other four children stood around watching, their eyes gleaming with desire.
Shangguan Yu turned around and bent down to hug his son, but the little boy shook his head and glanced at his three siblings beside him. They had no father and no one would hug them.
Su Ruojin saw this invisible little gesture and was moved by the considerate little kid. How could this child be so kind and cute?
I couldn't help but go forward and pick up the little bean. Of course, she didn't have much strength and couldn't lift her up and turn her around, but I just held her with a happy face.
Yang Si Niang immediately followed and picked up Ayou, the youngest child of Ajie's family, and asked him happily, "Ayou, have you had fun here during this period? Are you happy?"
The little guy nodded quickly, "Auntie, I want to come again in the future."
"sure."
"Very good."
Yang Si Niang regretted her promise after she made it, but when she saw the child so happy, she thought, then she will wait until after A Jin's wedding, then bring her nephew over to play for a while, and then leave.
The group sat down at the table to have dinner.
The meal lasted until the moon rose high and fireflies danced all over the yard like stars.
The children were sent to their rooms to sleep halfway through their meal.
After the adults had finished their meal, they were still savoring the meal, as if they had put their children to sleep and had their own private space, where they could enjoy the breeze under the porch or take a walk on the path outside the farmhouse.
After all the lanterns in the yard were taken away and only one was left, Nong Le's family lay under the quiet moonlight, as if in a dream.
Yang Si Niang was attracted by the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but pull Su Ruojin out of the yard and take a walk down the hill along the path.
The two of them walked and talked, talking about the scenery and people they had encountered in the past three years.
Halfway through the walk, Mao Ya came out of the farmhouse and said, "Second Madam, Ning Ba Niang was bitten by a poisonous mosquito and got a big blister. I couldn't find any anti-inflammatory floral water."
Su Ruojin was stunned and was about to say, "Isn't it in the room?" Then she thought something was wrong and turned around and asked, "Arong, I'll go upstairs to see what's going on. You..." Does he mean do you want to go back with me or take a walk for a while?
Yang Si Niang looked up at the watery night and said with a smile, "I'll walk a little further."
The moonlight tonight was so beautiful. For some reason, she just wanted to take a walk and didn't want to sleep.
Su Ruojin looked around quietly. Mrs. Zhao had been following behind her like Zhao Lan's hidden guard. She smiled with relief and said, "Okay."
