Chapter 35: Cover your face
There are not many rules in the Chen family, except for breakfast, everyone will come to the old lady to eat together in the morning because they want to greet the old lady, and most of the rest of the lunch and dinner are eaten in their own courtyards. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Today, because of this crab feast, the old lady asked people to invite the eldest master, his wife and the eldest young master to come over for dinner.
The old lady wanted to invite Old Man Gong over, but the old man had a strange temper, and directly said that the crab was cold and didn't want to eat more, so he lost the old lady's face and refused to come over for dinner.
The old lady listened to the reply, and there was nothing else she could do but curse the old bastard.
A crab feast at night was in response to the autumn solar terms, except for the old lady, who was old and didn't dare to eat more, the others ate very happily.
Even the eldest man, who had been awkward, said a few words to Chen in a relaxed mood, although it was nothing more than some casual chatter, but the ice between the two siblings finally showed a trace of cracking.
After the meal, everyone went to the East Chamber to drink tea and chat.
The old man talked to the old lady about this year's Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.
"Mother, the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in Xuanfu City has been specially made to add a thousand more lanterns because of the Qin Mission's inspection of the prefect, and this year's Lantern Festival is more prosperous. My mother hasn't gone out for many years to see the lantern festival, so it's better to go and see it this year. We don't go to noisy places like North and South Streets, we only go to Qiandeng Tower to eat and watch the lights. ”
The old lady sighed and replied, "I know that you are filial, but I have been widowed for many years and have become accustomed to not going out, and I have not seen the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. Now that I am old, I see that there are few people and my heart is empty, but I am not used to seeing many people like ants. ”
"Your brother should also come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival these days, this year, your sister and niece are also here, it is a rare Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet, I want to have a meal at home, just enjoy the lanterns in the garden."
The eldest lord nodded, responded to the old lady's words, and continued, "If that's the case, I'll let the lantern shop tie up some more lamps and send them to the house to decorate, but I don't know what my mother likes this year?" In previous years, only the lotus flower was tied, and there were not many ties, it is better to tie a few more this year, and the banquet will be set up in the flowing water pavilion when the time comes, just to enjoy the scenery and lanterns. ”
The old lady nodded, and began to miss her youngest son.
Her youngest son has loved to play since he was a child, and if she asks him, I'm afraid that this Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival will not just be so plain and unremarkable as a river lantern.
Chen Feng, who was sitting on the side, was glaring at Liu Ya at this time.
Liu Ya sat on the Luohan bed next to her with a small tea cup and drank tea.
Liu Ya has been growing up casually in her previous life, and she has never learned the rules of a boudoir woman. She later went to the capital to work as an outer room and a concubine, and the rules she learned were also the rules of serving people.
On weekdays, she follows the Chen family alone, and because she is young, she has never been seen as wrong.
But today, when she was drinking tea, her mind was relaxed for a while, and she unconsciously quietly dangled the little foot that fell on the side of Luohan's bed to play.
The small green embroidered shoes show a little under the skirt, which is emerald green and lovely.
Chen Feng is a boy at any time, but there are indeed many daughters around him, and there are seven or eight cousins of all sizes in her grandfather's family, all of different ages. He also grew up in a pile of daughters.
But he had never seen a girl shake her feet.
He is a boy, he has been honest since he was a child, and when he is in a good mood, he likes to hang his feet and dangle freely.
But Liuya is a girl.
The little green feet were actually shaking obviously, if he hadn't lowered his head embarrassedly, he wouldn't have seen Liu Ya shaking his feet.
It's really a chic girl.
Today's crab feast, Liu Ya is very happy to eat, the dishes in Jiangnan are exquisite and delicious, she has not tasted them for many years, and today is a slight taste of her long-cherished wish. It's a pity that she still hasn't eaten chrysanthemums.
She also took a lot of effort to put chrysanthemums into the banquet at that time, and at this time today, if you can't make it in the kitchen, it can be regarded as being cleaned up.
Liu Ya thought in her heart, if she had the opportunity, she could tell the kitchen about the flower banquet without a trace, anyway, it was very simple to do, but it was a little difficult to think of how to do it.
Liu Ya drank enough tea, and put the tea cup on the low table on the side, and when she looked up, she saw Chen Feng's two black grape-like eyes.
This cousin stared at her several times today, and each time he looked stupid.
Liu Ya really couldn't compare the beautiful Chen Feng in her memory who made her fall in love at first sight with this sick little cousin at this time.
Liu Ya's heart rose for a while, her eyes widened and she looked at Chen Feng and stuck out her tongue.
The little girl's tongue was pink and petite, Chen Feng only saw the little tongue flashing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't believe it.
The eldest cousin sitting next to him probably couldn't get used to his brother's stupid appearance, and crushed his brother's foot with his toes.
Chen Feng's feet ached, and he closed his teeth with a thud.
He looked hatefully at his brother, who was much taller than him.
At this time, the old lady was tired, and she drove people away with tea.
The people in the room stood up and saluted and took leave.
Chen Feng was pulled by his brother before he came back to his senses and saluted with everyone.
After the crab feast, everyone was busy.
Liu Ya was busy reciting the medical books given by Old Man Gong.
Chan continued to be busy collecting dowries and her husband's business.
However, Chen Feng seems to be very idle, and he always finds time to run to Qinggui Garden every day, saying that he wants to take care of the little junior sister's homework, and he wants to teach Liu Ya to read and write.
Liu Ya was annoyed by him.
On the afternoon of that day, Chen went out again and did not return, and Liu Ya quietly hid in Song's mother's house to paint red.
Mother Song was holding Liu Ya's medical book and was flipping through it.
Chen Feng's voice came from the courtyard.
"Qiu Ju, your young lady?"
"Miss is still taking a nap."
"Why is it so long to take a nap, and if you sleep too much, you will have a headache. You go and wait for your lady to get up. ”
"Slaves don't dare."
"If you don't go, I'll go."
……
"Ah, my little cousin is gone."
"No, no, young master, my young lady is not missing."
"There's no one in the house."
"There was no one in the house, but no one was missing."
……
The sluggish Chen Feng still didn't realize that he was disliked.
Liu Ya covered her face.
Is this really the champion who will surprise the capital in the future?
