Chapter 395 Finale (1/2)

Chapter 395 Finale

Two earthen stoves were built in the yard, with two large pots on them. Gu's mother and Gu Qingsong were in charge of cooking, each of which managed an earthen stove.

Qi Min, Cao Wanqing, and Tang Nuan stood on a long chopping board to cut vegetables.

Ji Xuan, Xie Wuya, and Zhao Wei rolled up their sleeves and squatted by the well to wash vegetables.

Gu Baozhu brought out bowls and chopsticks from home and placed them on the table.

Two little radishes were crawling around on the grass under a peach tree, and Mrs. Su took care of them with a smile.

This busy scene was full of fireworks.

Su Wan couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes as she watched. All the relatives and friends gathered together for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and no one was separated.

"Wanwan!"

"Huaizhi!"

"Jiaojiao!"

"Your family of three is finally here!"

Qi Min, Ji Xuan, Cao Wanqing, Xie Wuya, Tang Nuan, and Zhao Wei put down their work and walked towards the door.

"We thought you suddenly changed your plan and didn't come to Xinghua Village to celebrate the festival together!" Qi Min stood in front of Su Wan, with a smile on her rosy cheeks. She squatted down and hugged Gu Jiaojiao: "Fortunately you arrived, otherwise our surprise would be in vain. Jiaojiao, don't you think so?"

Gu Jiaojiao put her arms around Qi Min's neck: "Grandma, no, in my parents' hearts, relatives are the most important!" She pouted and kissed Qi Min on the face: "Jiaojiao misses you so much!"

Ji Xuan asked: "Only grandma?"

"Yes! I miss it very much every night!" Gu Jiaojiao stretched out her hand for Ji Xuan to hold her, and kissed him on the cheek: "I miss the stories of killing enemies told by grandpa!"

Qi Min teased her: "Grandma can tell stories too."

"I'm sleeping with grandpa and grandma tonight! You tell me stories!"

"Okay, Jiaojiao sleeps with us!" Qi Min agreed and said to Su Wan and Gu Huaizhi: "You are here, let's work together."

Su Wan: "..."

Gu Huaizhi: "..."

Does this mean that daughters and sons-in-law are disliked because they have grandchildren?

Cao Wanqing said gently: "The vegetables have been washed and cut, just waiting to be put into the pot."

Gu's mother's voice interrupted: "No need to put it in the pot, let's eat hot pot, which is what Wanwan researched, and it tastes especially good when eaten occasionally. It is suitable for eating when there are many people, lively, and saves trouble!"

Su Wan took Cao Wanqing's arm, looked at Qi Min and complained: "Mother, we can't do the work. We just brought back a mouth and know how to eat."

"Eat more." Qi Min touched her face and said distressedly: "You have lost weight."

"Before running around, it was inevitable to lose weight. Now that I can rest, it won't take long for me to regain my weight." Su Wan and several female relatives sat together at an eight-immortal table to reminisce about the past. She looked at Cao Wanqing's belly, and it was probably four or five months pregnant: "Are you having morning sickness?"

Cao Wanqing shook her head and stroked her belly: "The child is very well behaved, I can eat and drink, and I'm not tired at all."

Su Wan glanced at Xie Wuya, who was sitting at the next table and talking to Gu Huaizhi. His hair was shorter than other men, and it was trimmed like a modern suit head. He leaned close to Cao Wanqing's ear and said: "When are you going to agree to marry him?"

Cao Wanqing smiled and said: "I used to want to marry him. After going through so many things, I think it's good. The two of us have a good relationship and don't care about a formal wedding. If the relationship fades, a wedding can't bind us."

Su Wan couldn't help sighing. Cao Wanqing accompanied Xie Wuya for nearly a year and helped her get all the land for growing medicinal herbs ready. The relationship between them became subtle.

But Xie Wuya is not an ordinary man after all. He is a chess fanatic, and he grew up in a temple. He has his own goals and a firm mind. He just has a good impression of Cao Wanqing, but Cao Wanqing is deeply in love with him.

If the two continued to tangle like this, I'm afraid Xie Wuya would surrender. But at this time, an accident happened. Cao Wanqing's mother died of illness. She returned to her grandfather's house to deal with her mother's funeral. After the burial, Cao Wanqing sent a letter to Xie Wuya, staying in Jinzhou to mourn for her mother.

After the hot mourning, she did not receive a letter from Xie Wuya, but only a letter from the princess, saying that Xie Wuya was going to be ordained.

Cao Wanqing rushed to the temple where he became a monk. Xie Wuya knelt in front of the Buddha. The abbot had already shaved his head for him, but the abbot said that he had unfinished earthly ties, so he did not give him a scar.

Cao Wanqing looked very gentle and did things very conventionally. Xie Wuya was the only thing she did that was out of the ordinary.

She stayed in the temple and copied scriptures to mourn for her mother for three years. And she only gave herself these three years. If she still couldn't get Xie Wuya to return to secular life for her, she would give up completely.

When the three years were up, she went to find Xie Wuya, who advised her to go down the mountain. The temple was poor and it was in vain for her to stay here.

Cao Wanqing said, "Xie Wuya, you haven't burned your scars yet because you haven't finished your earthly ties. Your earthly ties are with me, right? I'm a weak woman, alone and helpless. Let's do this, you send me back to Jinzhou, and we'll make a break."

Xie Wuya agreed, he practiced asceticism, and walked Cao Wanqing back to Jinzhou.

Some accidents happened on the way, and the two of them became husband and wife, but Cao Wanqing didn't hold him responsible for this, but left Xie Wuya and bought a small courtyard in Jinzhou to live in.

Three months later, Xie Wuya came and lived next door to her.

Su Wan listened to Cao Wanqing talking about the entanglement between the two, and she was calm and indifferent. I'm afraid that if you don't get involved, you can't experience the ups and downs.

Just as she was about to say something, Cao Wanqing leaned into her ear and said, "It would be fine if he was always ruthless to me. Because he was affectionate for me, he would be unwilling to give up just like that. It was his little affection that made me I have been chasing him for four years. I am very cautious and don’t want him to get his wish easily and experience the suffering I suffered.”

Su Wan laughed. This was the fun between the two people.

"He is a single-minded person. I often wonder if it was because of the accident that he came to see me." Cao Wanqing's clear eyes were open-minded, showing her relief about this matter: "I don't want to It doesn’t matter what the reason is, as long as he treats me well and keeps me in his heart. Let’s wait until the child is born. Then I’ll ask you to comb my bridal hair.”

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Su Wan put her arms around Cao Wanqing and said softly, "You will be happy for the rest of your life."

Cao Wanqing hugged her back: "I thought so too."

"Sister Wanwan!" Tang Nuan sat aside and looked at Su Wan eagerly: "I want to eat the oven-roasted chicken you made."

Su Wan turned around, looked at Tang Nuan's rounded face, pinched her cheeks, and teased: "You are already a mother of two children, and you are still so greedy?"

Tang Nuan's cheeks were red. She didn't want to have a baby so early. But after accompanying Zhao Wei to the border, the wind and sand were too strong and the climate was very dry. Sister Qin couldn't adapt to it, so she wanted to take sister Qin away from the border and go out for some travel.

She had been insinuating in front of Zhao Wei, and he seemed unhappy. Tang Nuan was heartbroken and wore the clothes Su Wan gave her, and they became a real couple that night. They coaxed Zhao Wei into agreeing on the bed, and the next day she took Sister Qin to play.

Zhao Wei arranged for people to protect them along the way. When they finally passed through Jiangnan, Sister Qin liked the water town there very much and bought a house to settle down. She found out that she was pregnant and returned to the border.

This time, I will hold two in three years.

Tang Nuan became more and more shy, her eyes were moist, she put her hand on her lower abdomen and said softly: "It's not that I'm greedy, it's the little guy in my belly who wants to eat."

Su Wan was confused. She was pregnant again?

"Third child?"

Tang Nuan nodded: "The military doctor said there may be two babies."

"..."

Su Wan quickly checked Tang Nuan's pulse. Good guy, there are really two of them! !

But she was so envious!

Su Wan looked at Gu Huaizhi at the next table with resentment.

If Gu Huaizhi realized something, he raised his eyes and looked at his wife gouging him out with a smile on his lips.

"..."

He didn't know what he did wrong.

Su Wan gave him another big eye roll, turned around and said to Tang Nuan, "Nuan, take good care of yourself. After the baby is born, I will be their godmother." She stood up and said, "I'm going to bake the cake for them." Chicken, what else do you want to eat?”

Tang Nuan shook his head: "This is the dish, my aunt made me West Lake Vinegar Fish!"

"Okay!" Su Wan rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.

——

This reunion was premeditated and they deliberately hid it from Gu Huaizhi and Su Wan.

Gu Qingsong counted the number of people and made a particularly large round tabletop, covering it on the Eight Immortals table, and everyone sat around the table.

A short and small stove was placed in the middle of the table, with a small iron pot on it. They cut long bamboo skewers, skewered the vegetables and cooked them in the pot, just like modern skewers.

"This time we have traveled thousands of miles to gather together. I only hope that this friendship can last for a long time. In the next five or ten years, we will have to open a table for the children and let everyone lively and lively together." Su Wan stood up holding the wine glass and said to Cao Wanqing and Tang Nuan: "You use goat's milk instead of wine."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "In these prosperous times, we get together once a year."

"Very good, very good." Su Wan smiled broadly and drank the drink in one gulp: "I haven't been so happy for a long time." The smell of alcohol made her cheeks turn red: "It would be better if Jing Yun is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door opened, and Ji Shuo stood at the door dusty.

He looked at the people sitting around the table. The table was steaming hot and exuding the aroma of delicious food. The tiredness in his brows and eyes dissipated, adding a bit of warmth: "I came at the right time."

When everyone saw him, they quickly prepared to stand up and salute.

Ji Shuo raised his hand to stop him: "I am just the son of the Gu family today. I have no other identity. Don't let anyone know about it." He walked directly to Gu Baozhu. Gu Qingsong brought him bowls and chopsticks. He poured a glass of wine and raised his glass. : "I'm late today, I punish myself with three drinks."

He drank three glasses of wine generously.

This move instantly shortened the distance between them, and there was no distinction between monarch and minister.

Gu's mother asked: "Why are you here? You have to spare time and stay up for a few more days and nights to deal with government affairs, right?"

"Today is a day for family reunion. I can't be absent." Ji Shuo poured a glass of fruit wine for Gu's mother: "The queen is in charge of the palace, so don't worry."

Mother Gu felt relieved.

The dinner table became lively, everyone talked about daily life, people's livelihood, and the situation in the court.

Su Wan drank a few glasses of wine and became a little drunk. She leaned her head on Gu Huaizhi's shoulder, put a hand on his palm, put her fingers through his fingers, and looked at the people talking and laughing on the table.

She saw Xie Wuya listening to other people's conversation, but his eyes were on Cao Wanqing. Whichever dish she looked at, he would put it into a bowl for her, taking care of it very carefully and thoughtfully, with tender affection in his eyes.

Zhao Wei's children, a boy of three and a half years old, ate obediently by himself, and he served the child from time to time. A girl of two and a half years old sat in his arms, and he fed her mouthful by mouthful, and also took care of Tang Nuan beside him, telling her not to eat cold or overly spicy food. Tang Nuan stared at him with a pair of watery eyes, and tugged at his sleeve, and Zhao Wei's stern face eased and allowed her to eat a little bit.

Tang Nuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and she happily ate with the bowl in her hands. Zhao Wei's mouth corners slightly raised, and his eyes were full of helplessness. He said it was a little bit, but it was up to her.

Gu's mother took care of Mrs. Su and Gu Jiaojiao, while Gu Qingsong took care of her silently. Gu's mother looked at the bowl full of her favorite dishes, smiled at Gu Qingsong, and thanked him. Gu Qingsong didn't say anything, just pushed a cup of goat's milk in front of her and ate quietly.

Su Wan saw that Gu's mother seemed to have some feelings in her eyes, and there was a faint flash of water.

Ji Xuan picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, and put it in Qi Min's bowl. Qi Min peeled the shrimp and put it in Ji Xuan's bowl. The couple smiled at each other.

Gu Huaizhi knew that Su Wan liked to eat chicken legs, but she didn't like to chew them. He cut the chicken with a knife and put it in her bowl: "What are you looking at?"

Su Wan murmured: "I think this is the happiest moment."

The dim light shone on everyone's faces, and their smiles were very warm. The soup in the iron pot was bubbling. Such a peaceful and leisurely life was as happy and beautiful as a painting with heavy ink and color.

Su Wan's heart was as peaceful as ever. Her relatives, friends, lovers, and children were all around her. She really had a sense of belonging in this world.

"Huaizhi, I suddenly feel that Jiaojiao is alone. Will it be too lonely?" Su Wan put one hand on his shoulder, smiling, and Jiaojiao said softly in his ear: "Let's have another child?"

She didn't want to think about those troubles, she just wanted to do what she wanted to do.

Gu Huaizhi's eyes were filled with the tenderness of the years. He wiped the wine stains from the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and gently kissed her lips.

"As you wish."

Su Wan laughed. The laughter and joy in her ears seemed to fade away with his words. She heard the sound of drums and music in her ears, chanting: "It is better to drink and grow old with you. The zither and the harp are in the palace, and everything is quiet and good."

In a golden light, Su Wan saw a book appear in front of her, and it was quickly flipped in front of her. The book was no longer the tragic life story she saw when she traveled through time, but her life after rewriting, writing about her happy life with children and grandchildren.
