Chapter 43: Incense (1)

Ziyan said with a smile on her face: "The eldest lady asked the slave maid to pass the word and asked the eighteenth lady to pack up her things." As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, they will set off to Baoguo Temple to make incense. ”

Hearing that she could go out, even a steady person like Qianhong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and personally served tea and fruit to Ziyan.

I have been staying in the house for many years, and I yearn for going out. It's no wonder these maids are so excited.

Sending Ziyan away, everyone looked at Zhuang Minhua with blank eyes, hoping that the master would open his mouth and take him.

Zhuang Minhua teased them, "This makes me embarrassed, there are so many of you, you can't take them all." ”

For a moment, some people showed frustration on their faces. Qian Hong said: "The slave maid stays to watch the house!"

"I'll stay too." Emerald Green Road, after saying that, a few more people said they wanted to stay.

Zhuang Minhua looked at them with satisfaction, "That's it, you stay to watch the house this time, and I will change you next time." Immediately those who stayed also smiled.

Zhuang Minhua sat on a chair and told Qianhong to tell her about her errands after she went out, and Biqing and the others began to pack up her clothes and utensils.

While she was busy, Xiao Tian Xiaomi helped Mama Su to come.

Zhuang Minhua was surprised: "Why is Mama here?" Sit down. ”

Mama Su saluted meticulously before sitting down on the brocade vulture, and Zhuang Minhua let Xiao Tian serve tea.

Mama Su resigned, and said, "I want to follow Miss to Baoguo Temple."

Zhuang Minhua said: "But can your body do it, Mama?" The journey is long, it takes a day to go back and forth, and coupled with the bumps on the road, I am afraid that my grandmother's body will not be able to bear it. ”

Mama Su said: "It is while I can still move, I want to go to Baoguo Temple to pray for the young lady."

"I know Mama's intentions. But I can't take care of your body in vain, your illness is a little better, no, no, no. Zhuang Minhua thought about it and refused.

Mama Su begged for a few words, but seeing that Zhuang Minhua insisted on refusing, she gritted her teeth and knelt down.

was so frightened that Zhuang Minhua repeatedly asked someone to help Mama Su up, but in the end, she couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.

Sending Mama Su away, Zhuang Minhua sighed and ordered someone to tell the eldest lady, after all, Mama Su was sick, and she was afraid that the eldest lady would think she was unlucky.

The eldest lady replied that it was fine.

In the evening, Zhuang Minhua took Zhuang Yi and made moon cakes with various fillings. In terms of taste, there are sweet, salty, salty-sweet, spicy; In terms of filling, there are osmanthus moon cakes, plum dried moon cakes, five kernels, bean paste, roses, lotus paste, rock sugar, ginkgo seeds, meat floss, black sesame, ham moon cakes, egg yolk moon cakes, etc.; According to the pie crust, there are pulp crust, mixed sugar crust, puff pastry, cream crust, etc.; I also asked people to go to the big kitchen and borrow a whole set of molds to make shapes.

After they are done, they will sort the mooncakes according to their preferences and send them to each house and hospital.

The eldest lady tasted it and said, "This kid has a lot of tricks." He said to Ziyan again: "You go and ask Miss Eighteen to come to the recipe, let the people in the kitchen hurry up, and tomorrow will distribute the moon cakes and watermelons according to the list I set up early in the morning."

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhuang Shoufu opened the ancestral hall and performed the ceremony of plastic hope. In the evening, Zhuang Shoufu put down his official duties and went to Mrs. Tai's room to talk to her.

Zhuang Shoufu saw that his mother's silver hair was all black, and his thoughts were clear, and he couldn't help but feel emotional, and his dissatisfaction with Zhuang Minhua's rashness and centrifugal storage suddenly disappeared.

At one time, the two brothers Zhuang Bohan also came over with their sons, and the house was suddenly in an uproar. After everyone saw each other, they each found their own seats to sit.

Mrs. Tai asked Zhuang Bohan a few words for the brothers, and praised Zhuang Minhua's aunt and nephew for their delicious mooncakes.

Zhuang Bohan said with a smile: "My grandson also eats it, it's different from previous years, it's really good."

Zhuang Zhong'an also praised again and again, laughing and laughing for a while, so lively.

Seeing that the moon had risen, the eldest lady came to invite her.

Mrs. Tai agreed and got up and led everyone to the garden, in previous years, Mrs. Tai was carried by a soft sedan chair, this year her body is getting better, plus Zhuang Minhua suggested that she walk more, but she didn't just walk.

When they arrived at the platform of Suixi Hall, the eldest lady and her daughter-in-law were already waiting, and they set up a big incense case and placed moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums, grapes and other offerings.

Mrs. Tai took everyone to worship, and after a short rest, she went to the big flower hall on the mountain to admire the moon.

For a while, the tables and chairs were lined up in the flower hall, a large screen was set up, melons and fruits were eaten, melons and fruits were eaten and moon cakes were played, and even Zhuang Shoufu was caught by Mrs. Tai to make a poem, and the others were full of tricks, and the atmosphere was very lively. To the second watch, Zhuang Shoufu and others dispersed first. Mrs. Tai and the others listened to the song for a while, and it was not until the fourth watch that they dispersed and rested.

After a day's rest, Mrs. Tai took the other Zhuang family members except Zhuang Shoufu and Zhuang Bohan brothers to Baoguo Temple lively.

For a while, there were many vehicles in front of the door, crowds of people and horses, and the ladies and dependents each sat in a sedan car, and Zhuang Minhua and Zhuang Yi sat in a Zhulun covered car. Zhuang Minxing and several other brothers all rode horses to protect the side of the car, and Zhuang Minhua's car came to Zhuang Mincheng.

Although Zhuang Mincheng has been a father for a long time, he is still childish, and he especially likes to tease his youngest daughter Zhuang Yirui. He rode alongside him while observing his surroundings and talking to the three aunts and nephews in the carriage.

After a while, Zhuang Yirui was teased with tears, and Zhuang Minhua said angrily: "Second brother, is there such a teasing of your daughter?" On the other hand, he coaxed Zhuang Yirui, "Your father coaxed you!" Sister Rui is so good-looking and so cute, how can your father not want Sister Rui! Second brother, you said yes, right? The voice coming from the carriage was threatening.

Zhuang Mincheng laughed, bought a few packs of dim sum from the store and handed them into the carriage, "Sister Rui, your eighteenth aunt is right." Come, Daddy will give you something delicious. ”

Zhuang Yirui's big round eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at the dim sum bag handed in from the window suspiciously, hesitated for a while, sucked his saliva, nodded vigorously, and smiled.

Coaxed Zhuang Yirui, Zhuang Mincheng lowered his voice and said, "Eighteen sisters, tell you a very happy news."

"What's the news?" Zhuang Mincheng mysteriously aroused Zhuang Minhua's curiosity.

"I heard that Shan Mingyu was easily released by his father, and when he went out to enjoy the lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was separated from his family and beaten with a sack." Zhuang Mincheng said with the corners of his mouth crooked.

"Poof" Zhuang Minhua couldn't help laughing, this person was beaten by his father at home, and he was beaten again when he went out, which was really unlucky. "Then he's really unlucky!"

"But no, do you think he should be more unlucky?" Zhuang Mincheng said slowly.

Zhuang Minhua understood, this must have been done by several brothers. A hot current rushed into her eyes, and her eyes moistened. Even my brother is like that, not to mention my cousin.

Zhuang Minhua sniffed and said with a smile: "No need! In the future, those who have nothing to do with him need not bother to know his news. Brothers, don't delay your own business for this. ”

"Don't worry! We know it. ”
