Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

When Lu Qingqing returned to the mansion, it was already dinner time. The servants came to the courtyard to report, and her grandmother asked them all to eat in the side hall.

"What happened in Biyun's house today?" Lu Qingqing turned to ask Biyun behind her.

She frowned and thought, "No, what's wrong, Master?"

"Oh! It's nothing. Maybe grandma wants to tell us something."

She got dressed and walked towards the side hall with Biyun. The yard was already decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and the servants in the mansion had arranged it in advance.

Although there is no summer flower feast in the garden, it is fortunately decorated very beautifully by the servants. There are fiery trees and silver flowers, and the glazed lamps are full of light, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The faces of the people in the mansion are also filled with the joy of the New Year. The busy work throughout the year always fills people's hearts with a joyful sense of accomplishment.

When she led Biyun into the side hall, the whole family was already seated, waiting for her.

"Grandpa, grandma and granddaughter are late." She was blessed.

Mrs. Lu waved with a smile on her face, "It won't be too late, come and sit down."

Lu Qingqing slowly walked to Liu's side and sat down. Tiantian next to her called her sister softly.

"Mom and Dad, are Jie Bao and Ying Bao still obedient today?" She looked at her parents beside her and asked, Mrs. Liu smiled lovingly, "Those two little guys ate and slept all day, and slept and ate. , has grown a lot, but is still very well-behaved.”

She looked at the eldest brother opposite, wondering if she could have dinner with them today, when Mr. Lu suddenly spoke.

"I'm asking you all to have dinner together today just to announce that Tiantian has entered the Lu family tree, and we will be a complete family from now on."

After hearing what the old man said, everyone was overjoyed. The stone had finally fallen to the ground. Tiantian thanked her with red eyes, "Tiantian thanks my grandparents for their preference, and thanks my mother and father for taking care of me."

Mrs. Liu pretended to be angry and said angrily, "Didn't we agree that we are all a family, so we don't need your gratitude. A good future is the greatest comfort to us."

Mrs. Lu and her husband also agreed with their daughter-in-law's words.

Lu Anping and Lu Qingqing, brothers and sisters, also told Tiantian not to have any worries. They already regarded her as family in their hearts, and they only wanted to live a happy life in the future.

"Tiantian took note of it."

This was when the maids outside started to serve food. Mr. Lu asked everyone to eat first, saying that tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the day after the new year will be the wedding day of his eldest grandson. From now on, the mansion will be even more lively.

The family had a real reunion dinner together happily.

At this time, the princess is in the palace.

Chu Haochen and Princess Changning, mother and son, were chatting together. King Qi was getting married today, and Princess Changning declined due to health reasons.

"Chen'er, has that person come out of interrogation? Who ordered him?" Chang Ning asked with a hint of warmth and anger in his voice.

Chu Haochen calmed his mother's mood with a faint smile, "There is no clue about the mother's matter yet, and my son did not expect that the person would rather die than talk out."

Princess Changning raised her eyebrows and her eyes flashed, "But my mother heard that the man threatened to talk about it only after meeting the head of Anning County, and the Wu family..."

Chu Haochen's face darkened when he heard his mother's words, and he whispered that he would not agree to this matter. Since he didn't want to say it, let's see how long he could persist. And the Wu family, what's the use of making trouble? , aren’t they also victims.

"Don't worry, mother. General Wu won't get anything good by going to the emperor to make trouble. All he will do is vent his bad temper."

Chang Ning sighed. Although she didn't like the Wu family, she never felt sorry for him or her. No one wanted such an ending.

Two days ago, her youngest son was buried, but Chen'er didn't let her go. He knew that he was afraid that she would be emotionally moved by the scene, which would be detrimental to her health.

"Mom, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, don't think too much."

Chu Haochen could only comfort his mother. In fact, after a period of investigation, it was basically determined that Sun Changlin was sent to his mother by the power of Concubine Mei. However, the person who poisoned his mother has never been found.

This is what worries him.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Chu Haochen thought that the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was already empty, leaving only the cleaning servants. She had previously asked her mother if she wanted to move to Prince Chen's Mansion.

Mother didn't want to go through any trouble, so she would spend the New Year at the princess's mansion.

At this time, Chu Qiaoyu was sitting in Zhuangzi's study in a daze. Ever since Hong's miscarriage, her whole appearance had changed. She was making a lot of noises at every turn, and her body was getting weaker and weaker.

"Sir, my wife is clamoring to see you." Hong's maid came over from outside.

Chu Qiaoyu shook his head helplessly, stood up slowly, and walked towards the door.

"Madam, what's going on here?" Faced with Chu Qiaoyu's impatient tone, the maid didn't dare to say anything. She just said that the Hong family was clamoring to see him.

At this time, Chu Qiaoyu asked Chu Jingshan, "Have you seen the eldest lady?"

"No, I haven't seen the eldest lady today. Master wants to..." Before the maid could finish her words, she saw Chu Qiaoyu waving to her irritably.

Soon Chu Qiaoyu came to Hong's yard, but from a distance he heard her hysterical roar, "Get out, get out, everyone, get out."

Hong smashed the pillow against the door, just as Chu Qiaoyu strode in, "What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?"

Hong threw his head back and laughed, then asked with mist in his eyes, "Are you tired of my behavior and want to find someone else that suits your needs?"

Chu Qiaoyu was so angry at Hong's words that she almost vomited blood. He pointed at her on the bed. His trembling lips didn't say a word for a while, and finally he put down his hand helplessly.

He shouted to the maid outside to clean the room.

The maids and wives did not dare to breathe for fear of irritating the madam, although some people were dissatisfied with the Hong family.

But they were all discussed privately in the backyard. She was just a concubine, but this time the master finally exchanged her title for her life, and she still didn't know how to cherish her blessings.

Chu Qiaoyu poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Hong, "Okay, stop making trouble and take good care of yourself. Am I not always with you?"

After listening to Chu Qiaoyu's words, Mrs. Hong calmed down little by little, and she shed tears silently looking at the cup of hot tea.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let's have a good reunion as a family this year, okay?"

Hong's eyes were slightly red and she nodded silently. Looking at the man in front of her who had become very haggard in just a few days, she felt an inexplicable feeling of distress in her heart.

"Brother Yu, will you leave me?"

Hong raised her face and looked at Chu Qiaoyu, asking softly, with a flash of nervousness in her eyes, as if she was afraid of being abandoned by the man in the next moment.
