My delicate husband
Chapter 219 Full Moon Banquet
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Zhang Xiaomo started selling the ice he had stockpiled. Brother Xia's shop also started using ice, which attracted many customers who came to escape the heat, but it did not affect the business much.
Lan An asked the shopkeeper to continue brewing wine, and this time to brew more. After all, Bamboo Leaf Green is selling like hot cakes now, and it is out of stock at a high price. Lan An plans to brew more, just in time to sell it before the New Year.
Brother Xia was also very happy to learn about the birth of the little boy. He arranged his business in the capital, customized two gold safety locks and sent them to the Zhang family urgently, and promised to attend the little boy's full moon banquet.
Lan An looked at the safety lock, which was very delicate. He knew that Brother Xia had put a lot of thought into it, and he was very grateful.
Brother Xia is getting married in March next year, and the mansion in Anzhou has not been repaired yet. This time, in addition to attending the little one's full moon banquet, he will also go to Anzhou to see the mansion that is under repair.
Xiao Wanjun has not been able to go out for nearly half a year and has to stay at home to embroider her wedding dress. Brother Xia is relieved, otherwise he would have to spend time with her every few days.
Every time he was with her, looking at the bright smile of the person in front of him, Brother Xia would always think of that cold person in his mind. Is he living well?
Brother Wu was also very happy to know that Brother Xia would return to the county town for the baby's full moon party. He hadn't seen Brother Xia for more than half a year. This was the first time they had been separated for such a long time since they had been together. It would be difficult for them to see each other within five years after this meeting.
The originally irritable heart caused by the aristocratic family finally calmed down. Brother Wu did not hesitate. He wanted to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late. He urgently wanted to see Brother Xia.
"Zishong, are you still refusing to cooperate?"
"Yes, my lord."
Brother Wu originally didn't want to be so drastic. He knew that he had affected the interests of too many people and he was still too weak. This radical approach could easily threaten his life. But it was too late now. If he used the previous conciliatory policy again, he might not even be able to make it back for the kid's first birthday party.
"Catch the leader first."
"My Lord, please think twice. This is a very risky move."
"You go and do it."
Brother Wu directly imprisoned the uncooperative gentry families and directly executed the person in charge of the Youbei Wang family. This was also a warning to others, and the gentry families who had originally refused to hand over the land also gave in.
For a time, the people of Youbei were in a panic. No one had expected that the most upright and elegant son of the prime minister would become a killer.
The news of the murder of the head of the Youbei Wang family also reached the Langya Wang family in the capital. Although it was only a branch, Brother Wu's actions still angered the head of the Langya Wang family, who planned to teach Brother Wu a lesson.
"This is outrageous. For hundreds of years, the Wu family has kept to themselves. I never thought that such a rebellious person would emerge from a family that has been clean for hundreds of years. What a pity."
"It was he who refused to marry Ruo'er in the first place."
"Prime Minister Wu is still too kind. Let's teach him a lesson."
After a brief discussion between the head of the Langya Wang family and the other leaders of the Wang family, several groups of assassins were sent to assassinate Brother Wu.
The four main powerful families in Chuqi State are the Qinghe Wu family, the head of civil officials, with students all over the world; the Chenjun Xiao family, all officials in the court are from the Xiao family; the Langya Wang family, which controls three-quarters of Chuqi State's wealth; the Xingyang Zheng family, which has an army of 200,000 soldiers, and the soldiers are only loyal to the head of the Zheng family; these four families check and balance each other.
Although Brother Wu took some precautions, he was still too anxious. Fortunately, Brother Xia left him a secret guard, otherwise he might have died. Now his condition is not much better. He has been in a coma for more than ten days and has to stay in bed for three months.
By the time Brother Wu woke up, the little one's full-moon banquet had already passed. Brother Xia only stayed for a few days before going to Anzhou. Brother Xia was also waiting for Brother Wu, and it was a pity that he didn't see him, so he couldn't stay for long.
Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo were not informed of the news that Brother Wu was injured and bedridden. They just thought that Brother Wu was delayed by something. After all, they did not communicate frequently, and Zhang Xiaomo did not know what he was doing now.
After a painful month, Lan'an was finally able to get out of bed. The first thing she did after getting out of bed was to wash her hair and take a shower. Her skin was all red before she came out, but she still felt it was not clean enough. Zhang Xiaomo felt so distressed when she saw it.
The one-month-old pups are already very cute. Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo personally helped them dress themselves, and today they will hold them in their arms to show everyone attending the party.
Although they are twins, they don't look alike. After all, one looks like Lan Euan and the other looks like Zhang Xiaomo. They are still easy to tell apart, even when wearing the same clothes.
The full-month banquet for the little one was also prepared a week in advance. After Lan An finished her confinement, ice cubes were placed in all the rooms of the Zhang family to cool them down. However, there were fewer ice cubes in the inner rooms of Zhang Xiaomo and Lan An, for fear that the little one would catch a cold.
The full moon banquet was also very lively. Lan'an asked Bailu to invite a special troupe to perform. The banquet consisted of ten dishes and one soup, seven meat dishes and three vegetable dishes. Several fat pigs were slaughtered, and there were chickens, ducks, fish and eggs. It was really a sumptuous meal.
In addition to the villagers of Lianhua Village, the participants included everyone from the county government, the shopkeepers and waiters from the county town, and even the village heads, landlords, gentry, and students from aristocratic families from all the villages in Yunling County. Everyone was looking forward to seeing the Zhang family's little cub.
Lan Euan also took out ten jars of Bamboo Leaf Green tea for everyone to taste, which was a surprise that no one expected.
There were too many people coming and Brother He could not receive them all by himself. Even though Bai Lu was there to help, Zhang Xiaomo had no choice but to receive them personally.
Lan Euan and Aunt Li were holding the baby. There was a small table in the inner room where Brother Xia, Brother Xie, Zhu the bricklayer and others gathered together to chat. They hadn't gathered together for a long time.
"Old Xia, you're so mean. You must drink three cups as punishment."
"No problem, I'll drink first as a token of my respect."
"Brother An, didn't Old Wu say he would come back? Where is he? He's always the last one to arrive."
"I don't know. Brother Wu is very busy."
Although Brother Xia chatted with Brother Xie occasionally, he always stared at the door inadvertently. Many people came and went, but he didn't see the person he was thinking about day and night.
Zhu the bricklayer liked the two little brats of the Zhang family very much. He didn't even have time to eat and just teased them, which made Brother Xie feel soft-hearted.
"Yibao, do you like children so much?"
"Very cute, just like a smaller version of An Xiaodi and Mo Di."
"Yes, every time I see Little Watermelon, my heart softens. It can be regarded as making up for the regret of not seeing Brother Xiaomo when he was a child."
"Oh my, you raised your lover yourself, huh? Look how envious we are."
Lan Euan didn't say anything, but just teased the little watermelon in his arms, and occasionally teased the little orange. Zhang Xiaomo held the little orange more often.
Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo would spend as much time as possible with the two little ones every day. Maybe people always like to make up for their childhood self. Because Lan An lacked love, she always wanted to give the little ones a lot of love. Although Zhang Xiaomo always felt jealous, she still followed Lan An's wishes. However, not being able to sleep with the little ones was Zhang Xiaomo's bottom line.
After the full moon banquet, Brother Xia left. Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo saw half of the room full of gifts, but asked Brother He to help sort them out. Looking at the countless gold and silver jewelry, Brother He was very envious and for the first time he had the idea of getting married and having children.
"Young Master, this is the tenth gold safety lock, and there are also these silver bracelets. I can't count how many pairs there are. There are also small silver leaves, which are much older."
"There are also small clothes here. These are tiger shoes and tiger hats that I embroidered myself, and there are also bibs."
"This is top-quality shark fin, bird's nest, and donkey-hide gelatin. It must have been sent by Big Brother Xia."
"No, who gave these books to me? I'm just a small boss, I don't think I can use them."
"Yes, there are also these wooden swords, hammer heads, tangram puzzles, Kongming locks, bamboo horses, spinning tops... a lot of toys."
Lan An was also somewhat helpless, but fortunately, a special baby room was reserved. Lan An gave the valuables to Zhang Xiaomo for safekeeping. Zhang Xiaomo replaced the small boxes with large boxes, and put all the other things in the baby's baby room. One of the three empty rooms on the east side was specially used for toys.
"Brother Xiaomo, what do you think Little Watermelon and Little Orange will like in the future?"
"What does An An hope they like?"
"It's all right. I hope they can live happily."
"Don't worry, they will definitely be free and happy in the future."
After the Zhang family’s full-moon banquet, the house that had been built earlier was completed, and the six people who had been living in the resettlement house also moved back to the new house, which was also good.
