Cicadas chirp in July, fireflies flow in August

Xiurui and his sister are well-raised. Xiurui is a bit naughty, but rare; Yuluan is well-behaved and always likes to smile sweetly at people; Mrs. Songlin looks at this and that, no matter what she thinks,

Not enough, there was a smile on her face. These two children were her sister's grandchildren. She wouldn't know how happy she would be if her sister were still here.

"Okay, that's great."

She nodded repeatedly, keeping her eyes on Xiao Yuluan, "This child really looks like her grandmother. Her grandmother also has the same eyebrows and eyebrows. She really looks like her."

Xiao Yuluan's eyebrows were inherited from her old father, with thick eyebrows and long eyelashes. Wen Mianmian asked herself whether she had such eyebrows, and now she knew the origin. Even the Empress Dowager said, "Yuluan's eyebrows are like

Her grandmother, her grandmother is a rare beauty."

It's a pity that I'm so lucky.

Mrs. Songlin had cried enough and said to the two little guys: "When my aunt meets you for the first time, she must give you a greeting gift."

As soon as she raised her hand, the people who had been waiting on the side carried two boxes. Wen Mianmian smacked her tongue slightly. She said that the big scalpers in her family were not as rich as her aunt. Every time she made a move, she was quite bold and gave her a gift.

They were all boxes carried directly, especially the one given to her big scalper, which was directly from the silver mine. Now it is also a bold box to give to the two little guys.

Rich, too rich.

When the first box was opened, Wen Mianmian's eyes were immediately blinded. There were dog dolls made of pearls, flowers made of various gemstones, and a small box with about ten house deeds in it. Mrs. Songlin said,

"Those things can be played with now, and when they grow up, they can be taken apart to make jewelry. This eight-treasure cage Yuluan's grandmother played with when she was a child. If her grandmother was still alive, she would give it to her. Now it's up to me.

Let this great aunt do it for you."

The eight-treasure cage was full of exotic style, inlaid with many precious stones, and had eight sides, each of which could be opened. Xiao Yuluan took a fancy to this one at first sight, and hugged it without letting go, saying, "Good boy."

Seeing Wen Mianmian looking at the house deeds, Mrs. Songlin smiled and said, "As for those house deeds, I gave them to Yu Luan, and you and your wife will take care of them for you."

Xiao Xiurui was drooling with envy on the side and kept saying "Wow wow wow". Mrs. Songlin smiled and opened the second box herself, "Come on, these are all for you."

When the box was opened, it was not as jewel-like as Wen Mianmian imagined. The eighteen kinds of weapons lying inside were all exquisite. They were real weapons, shining with cold light. There was also a bundle of arrows lying next to the bow and arrow. The arrows were so sharp that they could kill people.

.

In addition to several military books piled in these corners, Xiao Xiurui excitedly clapped his hands around the box and laughed happily. His great-aunt said, "You can't be too pampered, you have to grow up."

The skin always needs to be broken and bleed during the process. You can't coddle him just because you feel sorry for him. This child has a heavy burden on his shoulders."

"The father and mother have built such a big business, sooner or later it will fall on this child. If it goes smoothly, that's fine. If there are troubles, he needs to be strategic and skillful. The most important thing is that he needs a good body. He has a good body.

His good skills depend on external force after all."

Mrs. Songlin's words did not bother the Empress Dowager at all. The Empress Dowager couldn't help but look at her one more time, "Mrs. Songlin's words are reasonable. The sons and daughters of the royal family all have their own responsibilities. Children should be pampered if they are younger, and older if they are older."

You still have to be strict."

Wen Mianmian expressed that she had learned a lesson, and took her two children to thank her aunt for the gift. Finally, she said: "My aunt has given us enough, and this gift is really too generous."

Mrs. Songlin waved her hand, "I am just a nephew. Most of my things are given to him, so there is no need to be polite."

Wen Mianmian smiled and quit for Lin Ruozhang, saying: "My cousin is about to give up after hearing this. When she comes back to my cousin sister-in-law, she pouted her lips and crotched her waist. I can't bear it."

Mrs. Songlin and the Empress Dowager both laughed, and the Empress Dowager teased her, "You are my cousin, just accept it."

Xiao Xiurui suddenly said, "Just bear with it," which made everyone laugh.

Because the Empress Dowager was there, Mrs. Songlin suppressed some words in her heart for a while. She smiled and talked to the Empress Dowager. She was good at observing people's words and eloquent. After a while, the Empress Dowager was attracted by what she said.

Mrs. Songlin talked about what Wen Lingxiao and Yunyang did after arriving in Beixiang, "Princess Yunyang took over the newspaper office in Beixiang. It was not easy at the beginning. The local people were obedient on the surface, but kept using tricks secretly.

, Princess Yunyang is really a hero among women, her strategic skills are not inferior to those of men. After a few rounds of fighting, the local elders in Beixiang have stopped."

"This young general Wen has a father-like attitude. I thought he would pursue the lenient approach when he arrived, but he ended up pursuing the "enough blood will flow naturally and tranquility" approach. The couple had a white face and a red face. Those

A person who was disobedient and had different intentions was punished and made docile."

"Everything is changing for the better now."

The Empress Dowager wanted to hear this, and Mrs. Songlin was willing to tell her. She listened with great interest. Wen Mianmian sat with her for a while and then went to arrange the lunch meal. At the same time, she ordered someone to record all the two boxes of things to prevent them from being lost.

After the meal, the Empress Dowager went to take a nap, and the two little ones clamored to go together. The Empress Dowager was very happy. While the three grandparents and grandchildren of the next generation left happily, Mrs. Songlin started talking to Wen Mianmian.

.

When talking to Wen Mianmian, Mrs. Songlin was blunt, "I've heard a lot about what happened in Beijing in the past two days. It's impossible for you and your wife to live in peace and stability until now. Please tell your aunt."

, what do you think."

Wen Mianmian smiled bitterly. Her aunt was really not one to take time off, and she was quite direct in her speech. However, it was not easy to fool her, so they simply told her their thoughts. What they talked about was to accumulate strength for the time being.

Standing still, Mrs. Songlin frowned, "Is this what your father meant?"

Wen Mianmian said, "My father is only loyal to the emperor and does not participate in these things. However, he did warn us not to do anything and just do our jobs well."

Mrs. Songlin was dubious about this. The secretary had a lot of troops at his disposal. He should be extremely concerned about who the next emperor would be. This is her daughter, so he couldn't ignore anything. "Your father is here to give you assurance."

"Look, I have nothing to worry about. You know my thoughts, but I can't force you to drink water. You have family business, children and relatives, so you should know how to deal with it."

"As an aunt, apart from money and food, I can't help you with anything else."

Wen Mianmian sighed. To be honest, she felt tired when she saw her aunt, and she always had endless things to worry about. She simply held her hand and adjusted herself instantly, "Aunt, your

Of course we know it in our hearts, and at the same time we are also very worried about you. We all hope that you can stop for a while and take a good rest. This person has to live for himself in his whole life, right?"

"My cousin is very worried these days when you are away, especially before she gives birth. She talks about you all the time, saying that she hopes to have you by her side when she goes to hell, and hopes that you will be the first to see her baby after birth.

Moreover, if she is in danger and sees you for the last time, and she is worried about something unexpected happening to you in your rush back, she will not feel comforted."

"Fortunately, everything went well, and my aunt came back in time, so my cousin can have a more comfortable confinement."

"Aunt, please stay. Don't leave. My cousin and cousin-in-law both need you to be in charge of the house, and they expect you to give them guidance."

"From now on, my aunt can entertain her grandson in the house. When she has free time, she can bring her grandson to my place. I will definitely have the shamelessness to ask my aunt to help me take care of the child. I don't have to worry about Xiurui. My father

I want to help teach you, but Yuluan can’t do it. I myself am an uneducated person. How can I teach a beautiful, smart and talented girl? I can’t do it.”

"My rules and etiquette can only be said to be so-so until now. Aunt, my mother-in-law went there early. Fortunately, my parents' family is close to each other, so we can still look after each other more or less, but my house is always short of an elder. I am so human.

I am unstable, and my thoughts often come and go. Fortunately, my prince's family has a solid foundation, otherwise I would have ruined everything. Auntie, you can't leave us alone."

When it comes to persuading Wen Mianmian, she has experience in persuading her. As long as she is willing, she can succeed in all likelihood. This made it clear that Mrs. Songlin's unwavering heart is false. How could she not want to live such a comfortable and comfortable life? Moreover, she is right

The two grandchildren and the whole family here are really not at ease, but can she really let go?

Seeing that she was shaken, Wen Mianmian gathered strength and continued: "Aunt, try to slow down and let yourself go. Maybe you will find that there is actually another way to live this day."

Mrs. Songlin lowered her head and smiled, then raised her head and asked with a smile: "Who said you are ignorant and incompetent?"

Wen Mianmian spread her hands, looking helpless, "That's what people say outside."

"They are jealous."

Wen Mianmian smiled cheerfully, "I think so too."

Just as Qinglan came to say that Bi An was here, Wen Mianmian asked him to let Bi An in. Taking advantage of this moment, Wen Mianmian told Mrs. Songlin about Bi An, "He is always the one who picks up Xiu Rui, but Xiu Rui is

I was sent back yesterday, so I don’t know what I’m doing today.”

Mrs. Songlin was a little surprised, not knowing that the emperor of Dongshu cared so little for this grandson.

Bi'an arrived soon and said that he was going to take the Empress Dowager back to the palace. "The Empress Dowager has been out of the palace for some time, and the Emperor is very concerned about her."

It happened that Aunt Fengchun came out of the house opposite. She sighed when she learned about this and said that she would tell her when the Queen Mother woke up.

Bi'an said again, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the young prince and princess will be reluctant to leave when the Queen Mother returns to the palace. Please send the two young masters to the palace every two days to accompany the Queen Mother."

Wen Mianmian also sighed, but she could only agree.

After saying that, Bian said to Mrs. Songlin, "Your Majesty, if Mrs. Songlin is free, please come and sit in the palace."

Mrs. Songlin nodded, and in two days she would enter the palace to pay her respects to the Emperor and the Queen. Only after this was done would she return.

At this time, Mrs. Songlin knew that the Empress Dowager often came here to stay for a short time, and only came here for a short stay. Xiurui would often be taken to the palace to eat and live with his emperor and grandfather, except that he was not carried to the court.

, I went everywhere, and I couldn't help but have some unrealistic fantasies in my heart. Fortunately, my reason was still there. After sitting for a while, I said that I was still thinking about the confinement girl in the house and the newborn grandson. I would come back another day.

Wen Mianmian walked him to the door of the mansion, turned around and smiled before returning to Jinyuan, taking advantage of the two little ones to take a nap before they woke up.

When she learned that she was going back, the Empress Dowager was reluctant to leave, because the selection of the top ten talents had just begun, and she had invited several old ladies to watch the fun. Wouldn't she be able to see nothing if she returned at this time?

Fortunately, Wen Mianmian agreed to come to the palace to pick her up the day before the competition and would not let her miss the appointment, so the Queen Mother reluctantly returned.

Cicadas chirp in July and fireflies fly in August. The scorching sun above our heads becomes more and more fierce day by day. The streets are deserted at noon and afternoon. Even the bustling Huabanli has become deserted. Of course, this desertedness is only during the day. From evening to

The beginning is another gorgeous scene.

Various lanterns are lit up at night, the streets are crowded with people coming out to have fun after meals, teahouses and restaurants are also lively, and the noise is louder than the scorching sun.

There are people selling cold drinks on the street. The Li family has made the latest cantaloupe-flavored cold drinks, and the Zhang family has made pear-flavored cold drinks. Everyone is trying their best to make as many as possible in this hottest season.

Earn some money to live.

The creativity of working people should never be underestimated, but looking at these streets in Huabanli, there are no less than twenty or thirty kinds of cold drinks of various flavors. Of course, the variety of cold drinks is also due to the famous Kuang family.

The ice cream shop below gives you inspiration.

Kuang San's girl, Kuang Ye'er, is now good at growing vegetables, and her breeding industry is also developing well. She bought the eggs she bought during the newspaper's activities. In addition to growing vegetables and raising livestock, she also opened an ice cream shop.
