Chapter Seventy-Six: Mid-Autumn Festival Surprise
Yan Jiujiu didn't want to see Jing Shilang now, just taking advantage of his excuse to recuperate, she also had a good time and played chess with graceful lanterns.
But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ancients or the guest house is fragrant, or infatuated with the full moon and simple, are just to put good wishes on this "reunion" image, the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Jian once had "tonight the moon is bright, I don't know who is the autumn homesickness?", such a poem full of homesickness, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon night, should be a happy day for the family.
She had to go, although Yan Jiujiu didn't treat Jing Shilang as his cousin, but she had uncles and aunts, mothers, Wanrong and a group of her own girls in her heart.
"Miss Biao, are you here?" the uncle in the ear room at the gate of Jingfu saw that it was Yan Jiujiu who was busy greeting him warmly.
The guard's uncle was originally a helper in the kitchen, because of his old age and inconvenient legs, and he didn't want to die at home, his uncle and aunt saw that he had worked hard for the Jing family all his life, although they were not his closest relatives, but they lived under one roof, and the two were very benevolent and generous, and arranged such a leisurely job for him.
This uncle is a simple and loyal person, he is over the age of old, and he is already full of children and grandchildren, maybe this is what Yan Jiujiu lacks, and there is a trace of melancholy mixed with joy in her heart.
"Hmm. Uncle, you have only been tougher than you used to be! But what is the secret recipe for longevity, change Ming'er to teach me to give it to my mother," Yan Jiujiu said sweetly.
The old man lost his moisture, but his wrinkled face was ruddy, and the slender wrinkles on his face narrowed into a slit with those energetic eyes.
"Miss Cousin is really good at talking! Her mouth is like being smeared with honey! I can hear the sweetness in my old thing's heart, hehehe" His voice was vigorous and powerful, and he spoke standard Los Angeles dialect, and he smiled endlessly, "Okay, okay, Miss Table, go in, don't let the lord and Mrs. wait for a long time, the young master has not gone out for a few days, you came and he just relieved his boredom, how many days to look forward to the stars and the moon to look forward to you"
Yan Jiujiu smiled and nodded, and then entered the mansion from the side of the shadow wall.
Here came a small maid to greet her, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "You don't welcome me, where is the restaurant in my province, you go to the lord, Mrs. said that Miss Table has arrived, don't wait for me to get to the door curtain before panicking, at this time only I am alone, you have a wife to prepare food, I just eat when I arrive, a large family waiting for me I can't afford it, this Mid-Autumn Festival full moon family should be harmonious, don't make me squeamish!"
The little guy looked at Yan Jiujiu and smiled half-heartedly, and also said with a smile: "Miss Biao is really meticulous! Miss, how did you save the shortage of manpower in the house today?"
The little guy said that he wanted to go, but he was nervous about whether to leave or not, Yan Jiujiu laughed and didn't play Tai Chi.
"It's simple, aunt, there are always two people in this house to welcome guests, one person leads the way, and one trots to report, but today there is only one person, I see you so anxious, I should be afraid that when I arrive at the door, Mrs. Miss and young masters don't know that I am here and have lost their dignity and anger at you, and they are afraid that I will get lost when the time comes, and it will be a good meal to find and be trained, in short, this is not a person, so I am not embarrassed for you, you go to Mrs. first, I often come as a guest, and should not be compared with distant guests!"
The little guy's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had the same look as he was, so he jumped and hurriedly blessed the big gift and ran all the way down the verandah to the flower hall.
Yan Jiujiu saw that his hands and feet were nimble, and he disappeared in a few clicks, and saw that his trajectory was towards the flower hall, and he couldn't help but wonder, but he was afraid that his mother and aunt were hanging off the table on a horse at the moment, if so, they didn't know if her news had disturbed their Yaxing
Thinking of the uncle in front of the door saying that Jing Shilang would definitely relieve her boredom when she saw her, she naturally saved the uncle from being kind, but the speaker had no intention, and the listener had a heart, she was not targeting the uncle, but just Jing Shilang, she had no good words
He muttered, "What will I be bored with when I see him? Could it be that I am the little dog he raised, and I can't tease the little bird? What can I do for him? Could it be that I still learn from the little dog to give up, hang my tongue and salivate and shake my tail? Or do I dance up and down in the cage like that little bird and sing a little song to him?"
The more she said the higher the small mouth, she pulled the bamboo leaf on the right hand side and threw it into the pond on the left hand side, the bamboo leaf as light as a feather drew shallow ripples on the water surface, but this is like a gong to the carp, the reality of two or three colored fish swam to the bamboo leaf, but after a while, as if to get a call, groups of fish gathered like a patrolling army, Yan Jiujiu couldn't help but be amazed, first the colored koi, and then the clear koi.
She whispered, "This koi fish doesn't look like an ordinary koi, it seems to be where" She frowned and thought, and unconsciously lay on the trunk and stared at the koi, throwing bamboo leaves, "Koi, koi, you are so good-looking, why are you in Jing Shilang's house? I will transport you all to my house? Jing Shilang must have abused you, right? You also grabbed a bamboo leaf so fiercely."
She sighed, the koi fish did not snatch the bamboo leaves, Xu did this hovering because of curiosity.
She suddenly realized: "Oujiang colored carp!"
She looked at the koi again, the flowers were white, black and vermilion, Yan Jiujiu couldn't help but clap his hands and said: "Isn't it the Oujiang colored carp? The color is like a goldfish, and the scales are like a carp, if you don't identify it carefully, you just think it's a carp, a goldfish or something!"
But the happy mood changed to doubts in an instant, this Oujiang Cai Carp was originally in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was 108,000 miles away from Los Angeles, not to mention the current transportation capacity, this fish was only afraid that it was already a dead fish with a belly.
In the middle of her thoughts, someone behind her gently patted her, Yan Jiujiu was like a dream, but she turned around coldly but she didn't wake up and stroked her chest and said: "It turned out to be the two of you, how you walked without making a sound, it scared me to death."
Jing Yanyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Cousin, what are you thinking about the new top-notch? Yuan Kai and I have been standing beside you for a long time!"
"What else can she think? It's not that she thinks that you are in bed every day to recuperate from your illness, but she may be acquiescing to using heaven and earth as evidence, silently making a pious wish in front of this pool, praying that your brother will get better as soon as possible, and she, the future young grandmother, will have to worry less about it" Jiang Yuankai's words were ambiguous, and he didn't stop until Jing Yanyan bumped him with her elbow.
She was indeed thinking about Jing Shilang, but on the contrary, if she made a wish, she wished that he would have a rotten tongue and a rotten mouth!
But she was finally right, although Jiang Yuankai was just a joke, Yan Jiujiu was really anxious to defend, and accidentally bit her tongue, she covered the meat on her face that was painful, and said while "hissing": "I'm just here to watch the peculiar Oujiang colored carp in your Jingfu, and the two of you actually put together to tease me!"
Jing Yanyan followed Yan Jiujiu's gaze and looked at the pool, at this time it was not as grand as just now, but it was still red and white, she smiled in surprise: "Cousin, do you also know Oujiang Caili?"
Yan Jiujiu nodded, as if recalling, "This Oujiang colored carp is also called Tianyu, my mother said that I had eaten the dishes made of Tianyu with my aunt when I was a child, and the Tianyu was raised in the rice field at that time, and when I wanted to eat, I caught a few of them, and after removing the golden scales, I didn't sleep for three days and three nights."
The dried field fish is chopped and stir-fried with fresh white rice is extremely delicious, and the dried field fish eaten at that time was brought back by my grandfather when he went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to procure."
Jing Yanyan and Jiang Yuankai listened seriously, Yan Jiujiu seemed to be very longing, before going to Dewey Manor overseas, although she heard her mother say something unheard of, but she never thought about it, until she ate a Western-style cod dish with Henry at Eton Royal Academy, she remembered what her mother said about this Oujiang koi dried fish, and then she didn't expect Henry to listen to it, and a few months later, she found Oujiang colored carp from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the East and a chef from the East to cook this dish
It was one of the most unforgettable memories she had ever had, her mother and Henry
"And the Oujiang colored carp can still be eaten? I looked at its scales like the sparkling water, and thought it was just for ornamentation like the goldfish, but it was very different from those white-bellied black fish, cousin, when will you try it with us?" Jing Yanyan said with a smile.
Yan Jiujiu held her and pretended to knock her head as he walked: "I don't know how to make these things, let alone a perfect young grandmother, everything is at my fingertips."
Jing Yanyan saved her sulking that she was still angry with Jiang Yuankai, and hurriedly turned her head and said, "You! Cousin is angry with you, don't you apologize?"
Jiang Yuankai smiled slightly, as if expected, and came out from behind, with a small green grasshopper standing in his hand, the details were smart and lifelike.
Jing Yanyan 'wow' and said, "What a chic little grasshopper!"
She clapped her hands and cheered, and was about to get it, but Jiang Yuankai avoided her lightly, and said with a deep meaning: "I said the wrong thing, so naturally I want to apologize to Qi Xuan, but I always have to show some sincerity, but it's a pity that this little grasshopper has to borrow flowers to offer Buddha now!"
Jiang Yuankai deliberately deflated his mouth and was about to hand the grasshopper to Yan Jiujiu.
Jing Yanyan's face drooped suddenly, and she reluctantly said, "Okay! Who told him to make you angry? This grasshopper will be given to you first."
Yan Jiujiu couldn't cry or laugh, looking at Jiang Yuankai's deliberately funny appearance, and seeing Jing Yanyan thinking about it, "Okay! You two are really a happy couple!"
She took the grasshopper in Jiang Yuankai's hand and stuffed it into Jing Yanyan's hand, "Huh, your little grasshopper, take it!" She deliberately glanced at Jiang Yuankai, "Don't lose your little grasshopper, there are more female grasshoppers outside, be careful that you can't come back if you lose this grasshopper!"
Jiang Yuankai shifted her gaze from east to west, Jing Yanyan couldn't understand the deep meaning of Yan Jiujiu's words, she smiled, looked up and was already in the restaurant, she hurriedly pulled Yan Jiujiu and said: "I won't be careful to look at this grasshopper!!
The two of them laughed loudly, and they would peek at the man behind them, who was already slightly red.
"What kind of male grasshopper and female grasshopper!?How can this grasshopper I weave have any gender?" Jiang Yuankai hurriedly said.
"Oh!" the two delicate women looked back at Jiang Yuankai at the same time and nodded crisply, but they looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.
Yan Jiujiu continued: "We're just talking about the story of the male grasshopper and the female grasshopper, and we haven't said which grasshopper it is."
Jing Yanyan nodded and said coquettishly: "That's right!"
Jiang Yuankai finished his words but couldn't find anything else, as the saying goes, three women in one play, he just watched two, and now he only regrets that he just made a difference and said those superfluous words, but now he is being teased by Jin Qixuan, Yanyan still doesn't help him, he is a seven-foot man, how could he be laughed at by the little woman?
Nan Fu is in charge, and the bamboo pole is supported by the house. Who said this proverb? Not at all!
In the restaurant, the family is already sitting around the round table, and the girls and mothers-in-law are all smiling and jubilant, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is full of solar terms.
She greeted her uncles and aunts one by one, but she had been staring at her with a light gaze, she looked back and saw Jing Shilang sitting on the right hand, he was wearing a crescent white auspicious cloud Ruyi buckled high-necked red-edged gown, his face was very good!
Yan Jiujiu didn't see him missing a piece of meat!
"Cousin, come and sit here!" Jing Shilang smiled at her and waved his hand.
Who wants to go over and sit with him? Yan Jiujiu glared at him without moving, looking around for another position, Jing Yanyan and Jiang Yuankai were already like this, leaving only two vacant seats at this time, but Jing Shilang was sitting between these two vacant seats!
Whichever one she sits, doesn't she always sit next to him?
Yan Jiujiu saw through Jing Shilang's calculations in her heart, she looked up at the tepid man who was smiling, and said in her heart: "Laugh! laugh! laugh at the dead!"
Aunt and uncle urged enthusiastically, she had to smile shyly, and walked over to sit in the empty seat between Yan Yan and Jing Shi Lang under Jing Shilang's smiling face, and she ignored him after a while.
As soon as she sat down, she twisted Jing Shilang's thigh angrily, and her anger did not subside, and a cool voice spread in her ears, "Cousin, I know how you think about me, just don't be so hungry"
"You!" Yan Jiujiu almost pointed his finger at him.
"After dinner, come with me to the academy. Jing Shilang took a sip of wine, looked over the dishes on the table and looked at the jade cabbage ornaments on the ebony table with the four corners of the tunch.
"No! go!" Yan Jiujiu really couldn't stand his conceit, narcissism, and self-righteousness, she said word by word.
"I'll tell you about Uncle Jingqi"
Yan Jiujiu suddenly looked back, her eyes were facing each other, and the cool and cool look in Jing Shilang's eyes made her feel refreshed.
Jing Shilang actually knew that she was extremely interested in Uncle Jing Qi's affairs!
