In the back garden of Cui's house, Yan Qi turned vomit a few years ago, but this time there are still some places that are not quite the same as before, the original position of Yinghongxuan has now been leveled and filled, and the Cui family felt somewhat unlucky in their hearts when Cousin Lin killed someone, so they put a three-story rockery in that place, and opened a flower garden around it, planted it for some months, and a cluster of flowers was blooming, and it looked vibrant.

Everyone didn't come here at the moment, only sat down at random in the open Xuan by the lake near the water, and invited a small drama to sing there, and the children couldn't stay idle, but fortunately they were all regular customers, and they were wandering around in twos and threes.

Cui Xi and Yan Qi went to a small pavilion in the far corner of the back garden, and they also took Young Master Yan Jiu with them, after all, there are guests from other families besides the Yan family today, and no matter how close the Cui Yan family is, they have to take into account some outsiders.

Nine Bixian Yan sat silently at the table in the house and drank tea, listening to his sister and her bamboo horse talking while tinkering with things on the kang near the window: "You really made it." ”

"It's just that it will leak after a long time. ”

"Of course, hydrogen can drill out when it sees a crack, so there's no way this balloon you make to fly in the air for a long time. ”

"Balloons?" is a fitting name, more appropriate than a ball. ”

"It's okay to call it a ball, after all, it's made of leather, but the leather is still heavier, although it's already very thin. ”

"You can make a big one and bring people up, so that during the comprehensive martial arts competition, you can use the 'balloon' to fly directly over the opponent's position. ”

"It's a bold idea, but we have to lose weight collectively first. ”

"Speaking of which, why have you grown meat again lately?"

"I'm also surprised, I passed the scale last night, and I immediately tied my weight before I went to Mishima. ”

"Eating too much?"

"Yes, but I can't help it, I always want to eat when I get home, I thought it was going to grow up, but I was deceived by myself. ”

"Hehe, you're still young, it doesn't matter if you have more meat. ”

"Having said that, I'm still disappointed in myself. ”

"How?"

"I always thought I had enough strength to resist food whenever I wanted to. But I think about it now, but I don't do it. ”

"Do you always like to cook at home?"

"Not always, but I eat a lot. ”

"Is that the same going elsewhere?"

"Not on Mishima, hehe, after coming back from Mishima. ”

"Xiao Jiu is the same?"

Cui Xi looked at Young Master Yan Jiu, but Young Master Yan Jiu was thoughtful, and when he heard this, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qi and Cui Xi: "I have never been like this." ”

"Xiao Jiu will have a future in the future. "Brother Yan Qikua.

......Young Master Yan Jiu looked at his unproductive sister, "The meals you and I eat every day are all on the same plate, if those dishes are really appetizing to the point of being uncontrollable, why haven't I been affected?"

"Xiao Qi is not a person without self-control. Cui Xi's eyes also had more thoughts.

"When you are on the island, you either only eat fruits and vegetables, or you don't eat anything at all, and when you go to the banquet, you can turn a blind eye to the table full of fish and meat, including many of your favorite dishes, why can't you control yourself when you return home?" Young Master Yan Jiu's gaze gradually turned cold.

If it weren't for his sister saying today that she was irresistible to the food at home, he would have thought that she just didn't plan to lose weight anymore, but he didn't expect that things would be not pure.

"But as you say, we all eat on the same plate. Yan Qidao, of course she knew what Young Master Yan Jiu was suspicious of, "Even if I often have some snacks there that you don't eat, I will give them all the ones that I can't eat." ”

If there is no problem with the meal, then snacks can also be excluded, otherwise how can a few girls not get fat when they cook rain and cook clouds?

"Maybe it's not the entrance that's working. Cui Xi said, and pointed to the tip of his nose.

"Since I have not been affected, it means that the things that work are not in the same place where the two of us often stay," Young Master Yan Jiu looked at Yan Qi, his tone was low and cold, and the speed of speech was no longer slow, "Your room, Boiling Rain and Cooking Cloud are always in and out every day, and the two of her are not affected, which means that that thing is only accessible to you, or the longest contact time, even if others have contact every day, but it may not be as long as you, so the impact is not obvious-Cooking Rain and Cooking Cloud are very greedy." ”

"Xu is the ornaments on the body, such as purses, sachets, pendants," Cui Xi said, "or the bedding, pillows, sandwiched in cotton, and the smell enters the mouth and nose every night when I sleep." ”

"Fortunately, this thing is only appetizing," Yan Qidao, "I'm going to cry if I get a chest hair." ”

“……”

"I want to know who gave this thing to you and for what purpose. Cui Xi looked at Yan Qi.

"No matter who it is, it's not going to make people feel comfortable. "Yan Qidao.

No matter who it is, the people in Yanfu are all her Yan Qi's family, her family, and they want her to keep getting fat.

Young Master Yan Jiu lowered his eyelids, hiding the cold light in his eyes.

The three of them left in the small pavilion before the start of dinner, and the dinner was set up in the back garden, near the water and flowers, looking up at the bright moon, looking around the lights, there were musicians playing the piano in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the ding-ding-dong came from the other bank, which was quite interesting.

The four families sat down at eight tables, although there were few people, it was rare that the atmosphere was harmonious, the wine was just on the table, there were people who reported that "Lord Yan is coming", a group of juniors and low-ranking peers hurriedly got up, and saw a tall and long-legged guy with moonlight wind coming from afar, this guy only came back from the province before the festival, and now he has not taken off his court clothes, carrying a food box in his hand, stepping on the moonlight to get closer, first saluting with the elders on the seat, and handing the food box to the next person to take to the table: "The moon cake given by the emperor." ”

Everyone met with each other, and the rear returned to their seats, and drank lively. Old lady Yan asked him quietly, "Came directly from the palace?"

"Hmm. ”

"Why didn't you go to Min's house?" Fangxin took the child to the banquet over there. ”

Fang Xin is the maiden name of Mrs. Yanda.

Why is it that the eldest husband and wife are still separate from each other to be guests? Aren't the usual door-to-door guests all husband and wife acting together?

"You two elders are here, so I'll stop by and have a look. Swallow said.

The old lady didn't ask any more, but she was very happy in her heart, which old man didn't want his children to think about him all the time.

But the old man forgot that the Imperial Palace, the Min family, and the Cui family are not in the same direction at all, where did they come from!

Yan Zike took the cup and glanced at the table over there, and saw that his little niece was clinking glasses with a young lady from someone else's family, and there was osmanthus brew next to it, the wine was not strong, and it also had the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, which he sent to Cui Fu yesterday, and sent a total of ten jars, and there was always a pot to be distributed on his niece's table.

Retracted his gaze and went to Cui Xi and his father to drink, Cui Chunyi held his wrist and whispered to him: "Neiko has been crazy recently, three days and two heads to run outside to play, the family doesn't care about this mess, the old lady is not good, and several girls are still young, and now they are all relying on Brother Xuan to take care of the feed, I look at it like this, I don't like to listen to what I said, when will I invite my younger siblings to come over to help persuade and persuade her, teach her not to do her job every day......"

Although Cui Chunyi is not a strict wife, he can't control his wife, so he has no choice but to ask Yan Zike for help, the two families are good families, and Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Yan also have a good chat on weekdays.

"What does my sister-in-law play outside every day?" Yan Zike asked.

"Isn't it just drinking tea and gossiping with a group of officials and wives," Cui Chunyi scratched his head, "It's just a gathering during the New Year's festival or a banquet, and this is still running out every day, and the family doesn't care about a big mess of things? ”

"Which nunnery?" asked Yan Zike.

"I heard that there is a Puji Nunnery behind Puji Temple, which was built not long ago, and the incense is very vigorous. ”

"It's not a bad thing to go for fun during the festive season. Yanzi smiled and said with relief.

A few tables of people talked and laughed, ate and drank, and in a blink of an eye, the bright moon rose to the blue sky, removed the remnant seats, and re-laid out melons, fruits and pastries, and Mrs. Cui set up incense cases in that compartment, so as to teach boys and girls to come over to worship the moon together.

"Men do not worship the moon" is a matter after the Qing Dynasty in the official history, and the boys in this era also want to worship the moon, facing the moon to set up an offering case, offering the moonlight paper with the moon god and the jade rabbit, placing moon cakes, cockscombs, watermelons cut into lotus shapes, and various seasonal melons and fruits such as pomegranates, grapes, red dates, water lotus roots, grapefruits, taro, bananas, persimmons, peanuts, edamame, etc., and the futons are spread all over the ground.

The adults only sat at the table, smiling and watching the young people kneeling on the ground lively, the boys worshiped the moon, looking at the early step toad palace and climbing the fairy laurel, and the girls worshiped the moon, begging for what looked like Chang'e and was as clean as the moon, and knelt down one after another, bowing to the moon god again and again.

Cui Xi and Yan Qi were side by side, and made a wish to the moon with a smile: "I hope that Xiaoqi will not gain weight no matter how much he eats." ”

"This wish is too good," Yan Qi bowed, "I hope that Xiaosi will never get sick again." ”

"I hope that Xiaoqi will be happy and worry-free. Cui Xi smiled.

"I hope that the fourth child will enjoy his life. "Yan Qi said goodbye.

"Wangxiao Qi......"

"Are you trying to exhaust the moon god to death?" Cui Xuan squatted next to him and glared at the two of them, "Don't you eat and not gain weight?"

"What wish did you make?" Yan Qi asked him.

"Every day, there is a thousand dollars in the account. Cui Xuan raised her eyebrows.

"If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, tell your uncle. "Yan Qidao.

“…… This daughter is not another daughter!It is in the account!It is not in the account!" Cui Xuan wanted to squirt Yan Qi's face with a mouthful of dog blood.

"You don't earn less now, do you hear that you hide your private money under the bed and count the third floor tile from east to west?" Yan Qi asked.

"......" Cui Xuan glared at Cui Xi with a straight jump, "You peeked at me hiding money?!"

Cui Xi said lightly: "Do you still need to peek? ”

"......" Cui Xuan went crazy, "Just find it, what are you telling Yan Xiaoqi for?!"

"I'm afraid you forgot, one more person will help you remember it more reliably. "Yan Qidao.

Cui Xuan spurted out a mouthful of blood and decided not to pay attention to these two stinky children anymore.

After worshipping the moon, the moonlight paper charm is incinerated together with the ingots and paper money tied with the paper, the ceremony is over, the melon and fruit moon cakes that have been offered are taken down and everyone eats, if the moon cakes are left, they will not be thrown away, collected in a dry and cool place, and taken out for family use in the twilight of the year, which is called "reunion cake".

This time is the best time to admire the moon, the adults get up, under the guidance of the master's family, go to the highest building in the house to admire the moon, some of the children follow, some stay outside to light the lamp to play. Several seven or eight-year-old young masters picked up tiles under the care and help of the little ones and folded them into a seven-level pagoda, which was burned with firewood, and looked like a fire tree on all sides.

The lamps lit by the ladies are more interesting, such as the gourd lamp, which resembles the moon, and there are also frangipani jasmine lamps, which are full of fragrance when burned, Cui Xi now made a red grapefruit lamp for Yan Qi, and carved out various flowers and plants on the red grapefruit peel with a knife, and placed a glass cup in the middle, picking the red light in his hand and melting the flowers and shadows, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

Pick up the lantern to visit the garden, smell the laurel and admire the moon, this beautiful scenery makes everyone have a lot of fun, the last program is to put the sky lantern, everyone gathers in the open space, holding the yellow paper and red paper and even the Kong Ming lantern made of the paper paste with the pattern slowly put on the sky, look up and look, a large piece of bright and swaying rises up, there are also groups of Kong Ming lanterns flying up in the sky, like a group of stars swimming together, everyone is fascinated, but see a behemoth suddenly flying up in the garden, the night is not very clear, the black is like a huge ball, the ball is hung with a thread to make a Chang'e lantern tied with a light yarn, the appearance is a vivid beauty, the lamp burned in the abdomen, illuminating the whole person brightly, the light gauze long silk wrapped around the elbow and waist, flying up and fluttering clothes, and was carried by the big ball to the sky like this, it is simply the real situation of Chang'e running to the moon!

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in unison, how did the gauze lantern not hold the wind, how did it go up to the sky? And the big ball, how could it fly? And it flew so fast, faster and higher than all the Kong Ming lanterns, and in the blink of an eye, it was up to the sky, accompanied by the wind and clouds, and from afar, it seemed that the crowd on the street was also screaming.

Everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by this lamp, until they watched it gradually fly into the moon, as if it stopped at the world beckoning and smiling, the blue sea and the blue sky and the night heart, at this moment, everyone's heart seemed to add a touch of romance and tenderness, and couldn't help but look for their other half in the crowd.

Yan Qi and Cui Xi came out of the osmanthus forest and dropped their heads full of osmanthus petals, "That's really good," Yan Qi looked up, the evening dew from the flower branches sticking to his eyelashes, "You succeeded, Master Cui." ”

"The first step to success," Cui Xi also looked up, with stars in his eyes, "when it can take me to the clouds, when will it be considered a real success." ”

"The body is not moving, the heart is far away," Yan Qidao said, "As long as the heart is free, no matter where the body is, it is not a constraint." ”

"Well said. Cui Xi smiled and retracted his gaze, "Then I don't have to go straight to the sky, as long as I can catch up with your heart, I will be free." ”

"There's no need to chase it," Yan Qidao said, "I've always been by your side." ”

Cui Xi laughed, took a deep breath, and what entered his nose was not the fragrance of osmanthus on his sideburns and shoulders, but a cold rustling smell of Qingxiao, the taste of standing in the clouds and being free and free.
