Chapter 144 Mid-Autumn Festival
After an autumn rain, it finally came to the long-awaited Mid-Autumn Festival.
The weather has become colder than before. Shan Xiaowu now has to wear several thick clothes when he goes out.
The finished moon cakes and cakes have been sent out for a long time. Needless to say, Shan Jinlin is naturally the largest portion. As for his hometown in Yanzhou, Benlei was also very enthusiastic about finding people from Xiaoyao Villa and sent them to his door quickly.
In order to reward him for his hard work, Shan Xiaowu specially baked the boss a bucket of potato chips marinated with chili. Ben Lei was very happy to eat half of it with Zhanyue. As a result, the two cups had acne for more than ten days, and the handsome face was pitted and miserable.
Zhanyue is okay, but Benlei, who pays the most attention to face, is full of pain.
During that time, people in the movie park saw that he had taken a spontaneous detour, and were afraid that he would be beaten if he accidentally laughed in front of him.
However, Shan Xiaowu smiled at him with no eyesight, and covered his face with tears on the spot.
The days are fleeting, and soon it will be the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second largest festival after the Spring Festival, which symbolizes both a bumper harvest and reunion, so every man attaches great importance to it.
All the holiday items in the movie garden have been ready for a long time. Shan Xiaowu had nothing to do, so he moved a small stool to guard the yard and wait for the reunion.
Shortly after Qiu Yan, Lang Xie turned into a dragon shape and flew directly to the palace according to Shan Jinlin's explanation, leaving a ** back and an immortal story for the people of the whole capital. It is said that because of its identity as the Dragon God, the palace is carefully served by all kinds of delicious food and fun. Life is extremely moist.
Shan Xiaowu remembered that he poked its head before leaving and warned it not to be too addicted to beauty. Even if he was not happy, he should remember to get back. He didn't know if the little guy heard it.
I heard from her eldest brother that the emperor feasted with his ministers, and Lang Xie would be regarded as a mascot in the palace, so neither of them could come back for the festival.
Shan Xiaowu didn't expect the two of them to turn off the emperor's invitation, so naturally there was nothing to be sad about. The only thing she wants to do now is to wait to come back, give him a hug, then go shopping, and then come back to have a good sleep.
Previously, because she was used to having him by his side every night, he had just left for the first few days. She had insomnia almost every night. Coupled with the torture of vomiting during pregnancy, dark circles appeared.
For good, there is an ice cellar in the movie park. She also insists on applying ice as a mask, which makes her look haggard like her aunt.
I touched my slightly convex stomach and said to myself all morning. As a result, after lunch for a long time, I still didn't come back.
Yao Xiang, who was sitting next to Shan Xiaowu, saw Shan Xiaowu's disappointment and quickly comforted her, "There is still half a day, madam, the owner will definitely come back."
"Well, for sure." Shan Xiaowu stretched out her neck and looked at the blue sky. The fragrant words really made her feel much better.
Just don't give up until the last minute.
He didn't come back, and Shan Xiaowu was not in the mood to go shopping outside to join in the fun. In addition, there are too many people on the street today, and she doesn't want everyone to worry about herself, so she can only sit sullenly in the yard swinging, occasionally talking to the baby in her belly, and the day goes by.
In the evening, the dusty return finally appeared in the movie garden.
When Shan Xiaowu saw the familiar hidden figure coming in from the moon hole door, a high-hanging heart finally put down. His eyes lit up, jumped down from the swing excitedly, and rushed over in three or two steps, "Fang Gong!"
Guibuqi stretched out his arm neatly in the exclamation of Yaoxiang and others, and steadily took her in his arms. His tone was quite helpless, "Be careful not to hurt your stomach."
Shan Xiaowu didn't care what he said, but just rubbed his chest with tears in his eyes, "My father-in-law, my father-in-law, I miss you so much!"
Yaoxiang and Qiqiao looked at each other and pulled out the jade with a big mouth with a smile.
He picked her up horizontally and put her down when he returned to the house. He sat with her by the bed. Then he reached out and pinched her face with a pitiful expression, "I'm thin."
Shan Xiaowu pouted, reached out his hand to take off the mask on his face, and looked at him carefully with the light. Only then did she find that his face was whiter than before, and it was still slightly pale, which made her heartbroken.
What has he experienced in the past ten days?
"It's you who is thin." He stroked his cheekbones with his fingers, which were more obvious than before. His eyes were hot. He sucked his nose and resisted the tears. He suddenly stood up and said, "I'll ask the jadeite to bring some water. You can freshen it well."
She didn't stop her. When she returned to the bedside, she reached out and held her into her arms. Her face was buried in her neck to feel her warm breath. The running and missing these days were all released at this moment.
After a while, several jadeite disappeared and sent bathtubs and hot water. She was reluctant to let go of Shan Xiaowu. Her big hand was slightly posted on her slightly convex lower abdomen, as if she were feeling the little life inside, and her expression was very satisfied.
Yaoxiang and others came to help arrange it. When they saw this scene, they all smiled and blushed to avoid it.
Shan Xiaowu didn't care whether they saw it or not. As soon as they left, he immediately pulled him to wash up. He moved a stool and sat by the bathtub, stretched out his arms and carefully wiped his back.
Sitting steadily in the bathtub, open your hands on the edge of the bucket, and close your eyes slightly to receive the service of your own wife.
After taking a shower, Shan Xiaowu attentively took a clean cloth towel to dry his hair, and then forced him to lie down and have a rest.
"If you don't go to rest, I will stand here with the baby and watch you not leave - do you have the heart to see our mothers suffer?"
The long eyebrows were slightly raised, and the black bright eyes were full of warmth. The corners of her lips were slightly hooked. Without saying a word, she picked her up, who was making a compass with one hand and put it in ** carefully. Then she slowly climbed into bed and lay down close to her back. Her voice was cool with a smile, "I can't bear it. So... let's go together."
Shan Xiaowu had no objection. She was busy for a long time, and she was also tired.
With a yawn, she found a comfortable position in his arms and soon fell asleep.
Listening to her even breathing in her ear, he lowered his head and dropped a kiss on her hair, opened his hand and touched her lower abdomen gently, and closed his eyes with a smile.
When it was completely dark, the streets were more lively, and the festive sound of gongs and drums came through the walls.
When the first gorgeous fireworks burst in the dark night sky, Shan Xiaowu immediately woke up and happily held his stomach and ran to the yard to watch the fun. She couldn't stop her, so she had to get up, grabbed a thick coat and put it on her, while calling someone to bring hot water.
Yaoxiang and others were waiting outside. Knowing that the two masters got up, they quickly sent up everything. In addition, several of the little men also moved several square tables to the open front yard as ordered by Shan Xiaowu before, put them together and spread a large piece of red cloth, which became a large one that was five or six meters long and wide. The table.
In the opposite direction of the imperial city, there are continuous gorgeous fireworks in the air, and the colorful light shines the whole Tiandu City like a sleepless city, which is lively and bustling.
Taking advantage of the fact that he can't leave and follow Xiaowu's mouth to wash, there are servants outside who bring up the moon appreciation offerings that have been prepared for a long time, and put them on the long table according to the rules, and even the wine is not forgotten to put on the top ten altars.
When the couple went out of the door, everything outside was already ready. There were many funny lanterns hanging high and low in the porch. There was no modern hall, but according to the whole yard, it seemed to be shrouded in red clouds, a hazy, against a full moon in the sky, and continuous bright fireworks, very The atmosphere of the festival.
After sleeping for more than two hours, Shan Xiaowu is now in a very good spirit, and his face has always been smiling.
There are not many people in the movie garden. According to Shan Xiaowu, everyone must get together to eat mooncakes during the reunion festival. So today, except for those servants from the capital who rushed back for the festival, no family or those who were far away from their hometown stayed. Everyone sat down at a table, ate, watched the fireworks and chatted.
There are many snacks newly made by Shan Xiaowu on the table. Baked potato chips and jam sandwich cookies are the most popular. As for the return, I am very satisfied with the batch of palm-sized fruit cakes that just came out today. I ate three silently before stopping, which greatly satisfies Shan Xiaowu's vanity.
After eating, Shan Xiaowu couldn't sit still. He has been grinding to go out to see what's interesting about the festival in the capital.
Both Ben Lei and Zhan Yue looked a little bad, but they didn't say a word, and they took her out in person with a smile.
"Let's go."
"YES!" Shan Xiaowu cheered, hugged his inseparable arm happily, and then turned his head again, "Jade is fragrant! And Ben Lei and Zhan Yue, let's all come together.
Jadeite also couldn't sit still. Hearing what she said, she quickly pulled Yaoxiang Qiqiao happily and hurried behind. As for Ben Lei and Zhan Yue, they didn't want to follow, but they couldn't resist Shan Xiaowu's shouting, coupled with thoughtful eyes - in the end, the two of them still held moon cakes and a bottle of wine in their arms and followed with their noses.
It's okay. Anyway, the wife has her own owner to guard it. The two of them only need to be responsible for protecting other women's family - this is much easier than protecting Xiaowu alone.
After making up his mind, led by Xiaowu, the group of people played and went out vigorously.
As soon as I walked through the residential area and stepped into Rosefinch Street, the lanterns hanging high over the street were reflected in my eyes. The red and bright spots spread from the street to the end of the street, and the festive atmosphere lasted for a long time.
In the ears is the sound of thunderous gongs and drums. At the end of the street, there is a stage, wearing a silver-white literary and martial sleeve costume. A very majestic actor with a face is singing songs that Shan Xiaowu doesn't understand. In the square in front of the imperial city, there are even several rich families specially invited to dance dragons as a celebration event. Lion dance performance.
Standing in the square and looking down, the Zhuque Street and Xuanwu Street, which are not far away, are full of people coming and going. Tens of thousands of heads are moving, and the laughter and shouts are combined into one, which is very lively.
