Chapter 143
Although the weather cleared up, there was still ice and snow on the Jade Mountain.
This winter is very cold, and Qingxuguan, located in Yushan, is even colder. Although Liu Wan lives in a single-family courtyard, the heating facilities in the yard are specially purchased, and there is a stove in the house, but it is still very cold.
On New Year's Eve, everything on the mountain was silent, and there was almost no figure in Qingxu Temple separated by a wall. Liu Wan got up very early, and after getting up, she worked with her maid Qiuyue to have a reunion dinner.
The mountain is not only cold, but also banned meat and fish. Liu Wan is a simple-minded person and it is nothing to eat vegetarian food, but it makes Liu Song suffer. Liu Song has been living in the crossroads, so Lu Zheng arranged for him to study at Luo Guancai's private school, but during the Spring Festival, he wanted to go up the mountain to reunite with Liu Wan.
He was not old and was greedy, so he ate tofu and vegetables every day, complaining every day. In order to make today's reunion dinner more abundant, Liu Wan tried all kinds of tricks, but Liu Song was too timid. In addition, although it was a reunion dinner, the reunion dinner between the siblings and the close girl Qiuyue could only have three people. How could this meal taste good?
After using the reunion dinner in the morning early, Liu Song was rushed to the wing room by Liu Wan to study. She herself went out of the yard accompanied by Qiuyue and walked to the square of Qingxu Temple. She could see the long uphill plank road in the distance.
The plank road, which is usually pilgrimage, is empty today. Looking down from the mountain, you can see Yangzhou in the distance. Yangzhou bathed in the winter sun gives people a warm and warm feeling, which is in sharp contrast to the ice and snow of Yushan.
Liu Wan stood up for a long time. Qiuyue was worried that she would feel affectionate when she was exposed to the scene, so she said, "Grandma, it's so cold outside, let's go back to make snacks. Brother Zheng was not full in the morning and was yelling to eat rose cake!"
When Liu Wan heard the three words "rose cake", her red lips trembled slightly. Qiuyue suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly lit her mouth with her palm.
Liu Wan said, "No hurry, Qiuyue, I'll just come out and have some breathing! Han Yun said that day, saying that she would go up the mountain to have a reunion dinner with me. I'll come out and see, maybe she's really here?"
Qiuyue was stunned and said, "Grandma, how is that possible? Second grandma is making you happy. The second grandma is in charge of the Zhang family. If she goes up the mountain, what should she do about the family?"
Liu Wan sighed softly and said, "Yes, so you don't need to worry about me. Although I live on this mountain, I feel more and more comfortable. Although Hanjun lives in Yangzhou, she looks beautiful on the surface, but she feels bitter in her heart!
She said that it was the truth to go up the mountain. The mountain was simple and comfortable. It was best to eat simple food every day and be as calm as water. However, it was not like being in the Zhang family. It was the most troublesome thing to face all kinds of beings every day!”
Liu Wan paused and said, "What's more, the biggest pain for the second grandma...ah..."
Liu Wan sighed, and Qiuyue also knew what Liu Wan meant. Hua Hanjun's biggest suffering was that she had been married into the Zhang family for several years, but she had not given birth.
In a wealthy family like the Zhang family, how can the daughter-in-law have no children and no children in her house? Hua Hanjun is young now and holds the power of the housekeeper in her hand. The key is that the old lady spoils her and she can be glorious in the Zhang family.
But the old lady is so old, what if one day goes? Without the old lady and the eldest lady is in charge, what should Hua Hanjun do? No matter how beautiful a woman is, there will be someone who is ugly. At that time, what should Hua Hanjun do?
Qiuyue's mind was filled with thoughts, and she suddenly moved her heart and said, "By the way, grandma, I remembered what you said. I heard from Shenxian Liu that she could think of a way to say that the second grandma was, but she also said that the second grandma should be sincere and virtuous. It must be like this. No wonder the second grandma said she wanted to come up the mountain! Maybe it was for this matter!"
"Ah..." Liu Wan exclaimed and said, "Qiuyue, what you said seriously? Then, even if there are so many difficulties, Han Jun designated to come?"
Qiu Yue's eyes were on the plank road in the distance, and suddenly pointed at the distance, saying, "Grandma, look, there seems to be someone on the plank road over there!"
Liu Wan quickly narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance. She couldn't see clearly. She covered her eyes with her hands. Sure enough, she saw that there seemed to be a figure in the distance, as if there was a carriage.
"Grandma, have you seen it? There is a carriage and there is a horse. By the way, the mountains are high and the roads are slippery. The carriage cannot get up the mountain. I will definitely change the horse to go up the mountain later!" Qiuyue said.
Liu Wan closed her hands together, closed her eyes slightly and said, "Qiuyue, come on, Hanjun must be here, don't be standing there, let's go and work, otherwise what will we eat tonight?"
Qiuyue said: "Grandma, why are you anxious? Are you really treating yourself as a maid? These busy things will naturally be done by the servants. Besides, with the style of the second grandma, I am afraid that everything has been taken up the mountain by myself, so how can you worry about it!"
Liu Wan said, "That's the case, but do you think I can be unprepared? Let's go, let's go, it will take half an hour to go up the mountain, let's go and work first!"
Hua Hanjun was about to go up the mountain, and Liu Wan's yard became busy immediately. Two girls and two mothers and Liu Wan himself, a total of five people were preparing dinner together.
The second grandma is famously tricky in the Zhang family, but she is not as good-natured as Liu Wan, so the usual lazy mothers are now full of energy.
They had done all the work, but Liu Wan had nothing to do, but she couldn't sit still. She walked in the yard for a while and then went to the Qingxu Temple Temple. This time she saw it more clearly. There were three carriages on the plank road. Judging from the style of the carriage, it was undoubtedly the carriage of the Zhang family.
When she returned to the yard, she suddenly heard someone shouting, "Have you got a carriage up the mountain? Haha, it must be Brother Zheng'er coming, okay, when Brother Zheng comes, my stomach will be saved!"
Liu Wan stepped into the yard and saw Liu Song running out of the east wing. The boy had no time to study. He heard something was going on in the yard and heard that there was a carriage going up the mountain. He couldn't sit still. He felt like he had a hair on his heart and rushed into the yard.
He said this casually, but Liu Wan was shocked when she heard it. She couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Song'er, what are you talking nonsense? My second grandma and her party went up the mountain. Let me tell you, your temper must be restrained, otherwise I will not be able to protect you if my second grandma gets angry!" Liu Wan said, she was rarely strict.
Liu Song was very happy. When he heard Liu Wan say that it was her second grandmother Hua Hanjun going up the mountain, his interest suddenly dropped to freezing point, and his expression immediately stopped.
"I'll go and take a look!" Liu Song still didn't give up and took a step towards the Qingxu Temple Dojo.
Liu Song ran away, and Liu Wan suddenly felt a little depressed. She went to the side courtyard listlessly, and Qiuyue was kneading the noodles alone, preparing to make rose cakes!
"Hi!" Seeing Liu Wan, Qiuyue suddenly looked up and giggled. Liu Wan cursed: "What are you giggling stupidly?"
Qiuyue smiled unabated and said, "What can I laugh at? Of course, she is the ridiculous person in the world, haha..."
As soon as Qiuyue said this, Liu Wan's face turned red. She wanted to scold Qiuyue for a few words but couldn't speak. Qiuyue's words came from Lu Zheng's mouth. Recently, the couplet made by Lu Zheng has become popular in Yangzhou and has long been known to everyone.
Although Liu Wan was in the deep mountains, she deliberately inquired about the Zhang family that day. She specially copied the poems and couplets written by Lu Zheng. When she was bored, she wrote in the boudoir, which was to copy Lu Zheng's poems.
The couplet that Qiuyue said: "Smile always and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world" is his favorite sentence. Now Qiuyue says this sentence in this scene, which is obviously mostly ridiculous.
Liu Wan didn't say anything, Qiu Yue said again: "Maybe Brother Song is right. If you go up the mountain with the three horses, there must be other people around my second grandma."
Liu Wan spat at Qiuyue and said, "You can hear clearly what Brother Song said from afar!"
Qiuyue said: "Grandma, I don't have a good ear or a long tongue. I really think that Brother Zheng is back. Why don't you see, I'm making rose cakes with noodles now!"
Liu Wan's heart was pounding. I have to say Qiuyue's words made a lot of sense. However, will Lu Zheng really go to Yushan on New Year's Eve?
After New Year's Eve, the first month of the first lunar month is over, and February is the boy's test. This is the busiest time for Lu Zheng to prepare for the exam. It is said that the whole Zhang family worked hard to prepare for the boy's test!
For a person who is so strong, he will never be compared by others, and he will definitely work harder...
Liu Wan was filled with thoughts, and various thoughts were intertwined in her heart. She thought in her heart that Lu Zheng would not come, but there was a little expectation in her mind.
She subconsciously wanted to go to the dojo again, but after taking the steps, she was worried about Qiuyue's jokes, and she was so entangled in her heart.
Qiuyue's noodles were reconciled, and then she went to get other ingredients needed for making pastries. Liu Wan also got busy. She occasionally looked up at the outside of the yard and cursed Liu Song in her heart. As soon as this kid left the wing room, he was like a wild horse. After going there for such a long time, he didn't come back.
"Grandma, you'd better go to the dojo in person to take a look. I guess this situation should be abandoning the car and changing horses. Wouldn't you be clear if you take a look?" Qiuyue said.
Liu Wan said, "You girl, concentrate on making snacks, don't be distracted! If you gossip about it in the future, be careful that I will tell my second grandma to take you back to Yangzhou."
Qiuyue quickly shut up, Liu Wan was still waiting to speak again, and Liu Song's shout came from outside the yard: "Sister, sister, sister, where are you?"
Liu Song was wandering outside the yard. When he went to the main hall, he didn't see Liu Wan, so he screamed.
Qiuyue shouted: "Brother Song, grandma is making plum blossom cake here!"
