282 August Festival
282
The old bustard, who was in a good mood, asked Shuo'er a lot of questions, and then left satisfied. Shuo'er, who had been talking about the old bustard who had walked a long way, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran back to the room again to change out of his underwear that was completely soaked, and he didn't do anything after changing his clothes, just sat at the head of the bed and looked at Li Hui who had fallen asleep.
By the time the first snow fell, Li Hui's body had basically recovered to health, and Li Hui had just begun to command Shuo'er to start getting busy. Because Li Hui wanted the situation, and the guest he invited was Sisi who had helped him before.
Sisi herself was really shocked by Li Hui's invitation, although now Li Hui is just a little girl who has not yet received guests, there are more than a dozen little girls like her in the entire Liuxiang Courtyard, but there is no one who can be favored like Li Hui, especially thinking about the fate of Feixue, Sisi has a feeling of flattery.
"I'm really grateful to my sister for saving me from that day, and my little sister is here to thank you!" Li Hui said and raised his teacup, "Sister, I can't drink alcohol at the beginning of my serious illness, so I thank my sister for replacing wine with tea here!"
After Li Hui finished speaking, he drank all the tea in his cup. Seeing Li Hui like this, she was a little surprised and a little excited, and she also picked up the cup and drank the wine in the cup.
"I just happened to know about this matter, but I can't afford my sister's thank you!" Sisi put down her wine glass and shook her head at Li Hui and said, although she also wanted to be good friends with Li Hui, but her temper was straightforward, and she disdained to use lies to make this friend with the other party.
"I know~!" Li Hui picked up the wine jug and filled it up for Sisi, "The last thing should have been done by Feixue in the back!"
"What's the matter, Mom told you?" Sisi was a little surprised when she heard Li Hui say this, and the old bustard actually told Li Hui about it.
"No~!" Li Hui shook his head and said, "Mom didn't say anything to me, but I don't need my mother to tell me about this, I can see it at a glance!"
Li Hui is very clear about the old bustard's previous arrangement, the old bustard wants to take the high-end route by himself, so the guests who can see him are either high-ranking officials or extremely rich, like the man who came out of nowhere that day, although he looked like a rich man, but Li Hui knew that there was no way to compare him with the people he had seen before, especially the dishes on the table, only two of which were pushed out by himself, how could such a guest Lao Bustard say that he arranged to meet guests, and when he said that he would make it clear to the guests every time he met the guests, he was just a guest, to put it bluntly, he just showed his face in the past to get a reward,It's like I don't do it at all with wine or something.,But that day the man saw himself and had to pull himself to drink.,The turtle slave who should have been by his side all the time is gone.,It's completely abnormal.,At that time, although I didn't know who did it to me.,But I also knew that there must be someone behind this thing.,But when she suddenly heard the old bustard sell Feixue to a merchant as a concubine a while ago.,She knew that the person who was unfavorable to herself at the beginning must be Feixue. 。
Feixue listened to Li Hui's words and her mouth grew big in surprise, she hadn't heard of Li Hui being smart before, but she had always felt that Li Hui was just a little girl, even if she was smart, she was just smarter among her peers, but she didn't know that Li Hui was so powerful, and she could guess that the person who assassinated her was Feixue just by guessing.
"Okay~!Let's not talk about these disappointing topics, let's eat vegetables~!" Li Hui smiled and sandwiched a chopstick dish for Sisi.
"Okay~!Let's not talk about that annoying guy!" Li Huisisi, who saw this, also smiled.
Although Sisi has a bad temper and speaks more straightforwardly, she doesn't have too much thought about the actual person, but because her mouth was too poisonous before, it will cause everyone to misunderstand her. And Li Hui understood her clearly after coming into contact with her, compared to those who are honey-bellied, in fact, Sisi is still very cute, so soon the two became good friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the lesson of the last time, the old bustard simply stopped letting Li Hui see guests, but she wouldn't really get along with money, although Li Hui no longer saw guests, but the old bustard received invitations from various governments from time to time to let Li Hui go over to make a banquet, and it was not so tiring for such a job, so Li Hui did not refuse, but the old bustard still cherished her body, and only arranged such work for her three times a month, and specially released the words, Li Hui only made a maximum of two banquets at a time.
"Young Master Chu!" Li Hui looked at Chu Yun who was sitting there with a smile and said, "I don't know if these dishes today are the same as Young Master Chu's appetite!"
In front of Chu Yun was a very simple three-course dish and a soup, the dish was stir-fried cabbage, stuffed bitter gourd and eel roast, and the soup was green vegetable and tofu soup, Chu Yun tasted each of these three dishes seriously, especially the green vegetable and tofu soup, he drank two bowls in one breath before stopping.
"Wen Niang's cooking skills are really unbeatable, even this kind of sea fish can be made so delicious!" Chu Yun said with some sighs, today he invited Li Hui to come to the house to cook, and specially prepared a sea fish for Li Hui, originally wanting to embarrass her, because this kind of sea fish is rare here in Jizhou, but I didn't expect the other party to cook this sea fish so deliciously.
"Master Chu has won the award!" "Chu Gongzi has won the award!" still has a good impression of this Chu Yun Li Hui, the other party is a senior foodie at first glance, every time he comes to his house to cook, he is very stressed, lest that dish is not done well and smash his own signboard, but now it seems that today's dishes have been tested by Chu Yun as before.
When the dishes on the table were basically eaten, Chu Yun put down the chopsticks contentedly, unlike others who asked Li Hui to come over to make the table, his requirements have always been refined and no longer measured, so although he only came over to cook a few dishes every time, Li Hui felt more tired than making the last table himself.
Chu Yun was very happy to eat the food he wanted to eat, especially Li Hui told him that he was now researching a new delicacy, and it was estimated that he would be able to make a breakthrough after a while, Chu Yun was very happy about such a news, and he was also looking forward to Li Hui's early breakthrough, and even Chu Yun directly agreed with Li Hui for next month.
"Girl, you seem to like this Chu Gongzi very much!" said Taohong, who was sitting on the carriage, with a smiling thief.
"The girl doesn't like Chu Gongzi!" Before Li Hui could speak, Shuo'er said with a gloomy face.
"Why don't you like it, you see that Chu Gongzi looks good, his family background is good, and more importantly, he is a famous talent, and the girl is also very unusual to him, every time she will make so many delicious food for him! Doesn't this like Chu Gongzi?"
Taohong's words made Shuo'er's face change slightly after hearing it, but he still sat there and said that Li Hui didn't like this Chu Gongzi. As if she hadn't heard the quarrel between the two of them, Li Hui leaned against the window of the carriage, looking through the tulle at the outside situation, thinking about her own thoughts.
When the three of their master and servant returned to the small building, Taohong and Shuo'er did not quarrel a win or lose, seeing that the two of them were arguing there non-stop, Li Hui simply pulled his face and reprimanded the two of them, which made the two of them stop arguing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally survived the summer, although the weather has not really cooled down, but at least the weather in the morning and evening is not so hot, and at this time everyone also ushered in the August Festival. August Festival is also called the Demon Eradication Festival, is a unique local festival in Jizhou, actually said a long time ago Jizhou this area of the demons many, human beings live a day of fear every day, and then came a profound fairy, decided to eliminate harm for the people of Jizhou, she has used a spell to seal the door of every house, not to let ordinary people come out, this is to fight to the death with those demons, this battle has been fought for three days and three nights, and wait until three days after the spell has lost its effect, everyone from the new door after the discovery, found that the fairy has disappeared, and the demons who endangered everyone in the past are gone, so everyone in order to thank the unknown fairy, these three days are set as the Demon Eradication Festival, and everyone closes their doors and does not go out during these three days, but later with the special years of this custom has become everyone going out to celebrate during the day, and after sunset, every family closes their doors and no longer goes out, let alone stay outside. So in these three days, there were no guests at all in these Fengyue places, and after a long time, everyone simply regarded these three days of festivals as a holiday for themselves, and all the brothels and courtyards in Jizhou City were not open for business during these three days, and the girls had a good rest in these three days.
Now Li Hui in the Liuxiang Courtyard in addition to being good with Sisi, and the relationship with other girls is also quite harmonious, taking advantage of the three-day festival, someone proposed that they get together to buy a table to eat and drink and make trouble, this suggestion has been unanimously agreed by everyone, and Li Hui here of course it is impossible to say that he has made himself too special, so Li Hui directly took over the matter of the banquet, and her move immediately won everyone's favor.
This party everyone set the date on the last day of the September Festival, Li Hui was the last to arrive because she was in charge of the banquet of this party, and as soon as she came over, she felt that the atmosphere here was not quite right, and everyone was looking at themselves with a strange light in their eyes.
"What's the matter, did you quarrel with someone else?" Li Hui asked her a little strangely when she saw Sisi sitting in the corner of the corridor.
"No~!" Sisi glanced up at Li Hui with a look of wanting to say something.
"Just say anything, don't put on a show like this!" Sisi is the kind of person who can't hide her thoughts at all, and when she sees her like this, she knows that something must be going on with her.
"Wen Niang, how is your knowledge?" Sisi leaned over and asked Li Hui in a low voice.
Li Hui didn't answer Sisi's words at once, but raised his head and saw the girl on the other side who was like a star holding the moon, "What's the matter, did this new Ziqin girl say something?"
"You know everything?" asked Sisi with some surprise when she heard Li Hui say this.
"What do I know, I've just been here!" Li Hui said to Sisi with a smile.
"Oh~~!yes~~!" Sisi thought for a while and felt that Li Hui couldn't know what had just happened, and Li Hui was not here just now, but she thought about it again and said, "But you don't know about this, why do you know that it's Ziqina?"
"It should be for you~!" Li Hui pointed to Sisi and said, "You only have to write a few words on your face that I am not in harmony with Miss Ziqin!"
"Is there any? " Sisi subconsciously reached out and touched her face, "There is writing on my face!"
This kind of silk made Li Hui directly amused, "Okay~! I didn't write!But why don't you hurry up and let me tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Sisi glanced at Ziqin a little angrily, and then began to talk to Li Hui about what had just happened. This Ziqin girl actually came to Liuxiangyuan not long ago, but she is a girl who the old bustard bought from outside at a very expensive price, and it is said that she is proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she has only come to Liuxiangyuan for two or three months, and her popularity is close to the past Oiran Feixue. And which of the people in the Liuxiang Courtyard doesn't know Li Hui's, and it should also be the reason for the old bustard, everyone is saying how powerful Li Hui is, how talented, and how much the old bustard is important, which made the new and favored Ziqin girl a little unhappy, so the girl just said a few words that were not very pleasant, so that Sisi, Li Hui's friend, was very unhappy when she heard it, and the two of them argued, but the straightforward Sisi was the opponent of the Ziqin girl, and the two of them were defeated as soon as they clashed, which made Sisi very unhappy!
"Wen Niang, how is your literary style? You don't know that Ziqin just opened her mouth and read a poem, not to mention how proud it is!"
