Tibet

Yang Yuhuan came to Dugu Xinyue's study on the second floor, but accidentally found Dugu Xinyue sitting in front of the window crying secretly. She was startled, walked up and held Xinyue's hand and asked with concern: "Sister, you What's wrong?"

Dugu Xinyue wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's actually nothing. I just miss my grandma a little."

"Is the old man in good health?"

Dugu Xinyue shook his head gently, "The situation is not good. Taibai said that my grandmother didn't know her since last year. Not only her, but also her second uncle and third uncle. She only knew a little bit about my father. My husband said, this kind of The disease is called Alzheimer's disease, and there is no cure. I can only try to make her life as comfortable as possible, but I'm afraid it won't be a few years, but I don't know if I can see her again."

Speaking of this, Dugu Xinyue's eyes turned red, and tears almost rolled down again.

Yang Yuhuan sighed and said: "I have even forgotten the appearance of my parents, let alone my grandparents. At least your grandmother is still alive. How old is she this year?"

"Seventy-seven or seventy-eight, I kind of forgot."

"People rarely reach their seventies. I think my grandmother has taken good care of herself. It won't be a big problem if she lives to her eighties. She is a blessed person, and you should be happy."

Dugu Xinyue smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I can also accept the separation of life and death. Master was very peaceful when he emerged, and my heart was also very peaceful. Taoism is natural, and everything is the reincarnation of heaven. There is life and death, and there is coming and going. , I used to be the female Taoist priest Suzaku, I shouldn’t lose my temper like this.”

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that your previous name was Suzaku. You were so skilled in martial arts and played polo well."

Dugu Xinyue shook her head, "After I have a child, I no longer care about martial arts. Now I am thinking about marrying two more concubines for my husband. He only has two sons, which is too few."

Yang Yuhuan laughed in a low voice: "Didn't the eldest sister see it when we were eating?"

Dugu Xinyue was stunned, "What did you see?"

Yang Yuhuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Taibai has been secretly looking at her husband."

"I really didn't notice, but she's only fifteen years old!"

"How old were you when your eldest sister fell in love with your husband?"

Dugu Xinyue blushed, "I think I am also fifteen years old, but I think I was more mature than Taibai when I was fifteen."

"Then you are underestimating her. She is just introverted and doesn't talk much. She is very similar to Qingyu. Moreover, she has a baby face, which always makes people think she is still young. One day you take a bath with her, You will know that she is actually ready to get married."

"Hey! Let's just take a bath together tonight. I want to check her carefully. I really didn't notice that she has grown."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "Dinner is the highlight!"

Dugu Xinyue nodded, feeling a little worried. She didn't want Taibai to become the second Qiming.

At dinner, the whole family sat together to dine again. Li Ye valued the sense of ceremony more. He liked to eat together with the whole family. Even his eldest son Li Jin, who was two years old, and his second son Li Tan, who was one year old, were taken by their wet nurse to sit together. Feed next to me.

The other three daughters can now eat independently. Needless to say, the eldest daughter Xingsha, the second daughter Yaoguang and the third daughter Qiuhe are also four years old, and they also sit at the table to eat obediently.

Time flies so fast, and the eldest daughter is now six years old. Last year she was very naughty, but this year she suddenly became much quieter.

Li Ye sat at the end of the long dining table, next to Princess Dugu Xinyue, then Yang Yuhuan, and opposite Liu Qingyu and Dugu Taibai.

Behind them stood two rows of maids. The food was also very sumptuous, with more than thirty dishes and more than a dozen snacks. After all, Li Ye was the second most powerful King of Qi in the world. Although he did not need the luxury of a meal with hundreds of dishes, But there is no need to be too simple.

There are many kinds of snacks on the table, which the children love.

Qingyu pointed to Taibai's bowl and ordered the maid behind him: "Give the seventh girl some duck soup, and give her the duck neck as well."

The maid quickly took the small bowl and filled the soup. Dugu Taibai asked with a curious smile: "How do you know I like to chew duck necks?"

Qingyu said with a smile: "My husband said that you love to chew duck necks at home."

Dugu Taibai's eyes flashed, and he rolled his eyes at Li Ye shyly. Li Ye chuckled and said, "I forgot who sued me?"

Dugu Xinyue sighed, "Who else can say it except me?"

She could clearly see that Taibai had just glanced at her husband, a look that could only be seen by a young woman in love. Taibai was indeed in love with her husband.

Dugu Taibai said coquettishly: "Sister, I have to tell my brother-in-law even this kind of thing!"

Yang Yuhuan suppressed a smile, the word 'brother-in-law' was too sweet.

Xingsha asked curiously: "Auntie, are the duck necks delicious?"

Dugu Taibai nodded, "If the stew is very rotten, and you suck it with your mouth, the bones and flesh will be separated. I like this feeling, but you are still young and have not reached the time to eat duck necks. When you are ten years old, my aunt will I’ll teach you how to eat.”

As he said that, Dugu Taibai picked some stewed shredded pork and put it in her little mouth. Xingsha nodded and praised while eating, "It's delicious! My aunt's duck neck is so fragrant."

"What are you talking about? Whose duck neck is it?"

Everyone laughed, and Dugu Xinyue said to her daughter: "Okay, eat well. Children are not allowed to talk while eating. This is daddy's rule. You see, the two sisters are very quiet."

Xingsha stuck out his tongue and fell silent.

After dinner, Li Ye went back to his study. A few women took a boat ride in the lake to enjoy the cool air. There were more mosquitoes in the garden, but there were no mosquitoes on the lake. There were many carp and silver carp in the lake, which reduced the number of mosquitoes in the lake. The larvae were all eaten.

Officials and wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty paid great attention to this biological method of killing mosquitoes. The ponds at home must use running water. In summer, a large number of small silver carp were stocked. Silver carp especially like to eat larvae on the water surface, and there will be fewer mosquitoes. a lot of.

Dugu Taibai and Qingyu sat in front and whispered, while Yang Yuhuan and Dugu Xinyue sat in the back.

"Sister, must you have seen it?"

Dugu Xinyue nodded and sighed: "It's true."

"What are you worried about, eldest sister?"

Dugu Xinyue said worriedly: "Qiming also liked her husband like this back then, but he didn't like her. What happened? I'm afraid of making the same mistake again."

Yang Yuhuan said slowly: "Probably not!"

"Why?"

"You and I have seen it. Do you think my husband can't see it? Men are more sensitive than us. He didn't hide from Tai Bai, which shows that he can accept it. Especially Dugu Ming is very important to her husband. He will definitely not hurt Dugu Ming's only one. daughter, perhaps there is already a tacit understanding between them."

"You mean, my husband and my third uncle have an agreement?"

"That's what I guessed, otherwise Uncle Dugu wouldn't have let his daughter come to Jincheng County."

Dugu Xinyue nodded, "I'll find a chance to ask my husband. I'll ask him tonight."

At this time, Qingyu said with a smile: "Sister, you are covered in sweat, let's go take a bath in the lotus pond!"

This suggestion played right into Dugu Xinyue's heart. She smiled and nodded, "Okay! Taibai will go too."

The result amazed Dugu Xinyue. No wonder Yuhuan said Taibai was ready to get married. She never imagined that Taibai's delicate baby face would hide such turmoil.
