Wu took her daughter and daughter-in-law to make mooncakes for several days, and she also picked up the good ones and wrapped them, plus some fresh melons and fruits and other things to give away.

Most of the gifts were sent to some people who were close to the Ji family, and the other was Ji Yi and the colleagues of the sons of the Ji family who were officials in the court.

After all, the two families are married, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is indispensable.

The Ji family's gift has not been sent out yet, and over there, Cheng Huaijin has already asked someone to send a gift to the Ji family.

At the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was the time when the crabs were fat, and Cheng Huaijin asked someone to send several baskets of fat river crabs that were fished up, and there was a basket of pomegranates with huge red eyes, as well as a basket of grapefruits, and the pestles that could be eaten directly from the tree, apples, grapes, etc. are also essential.

In this way, the festival was loaded with more than 20 baskets, and a basket was carried to the corner door of the Ji family, and Cheng Huaijin's festival gift was sent, and the Ji family's festival gift also went out, although it was not as good as what Cheng Huaijin sent, but it was also a lot, more than those given to other people's families.

Wu took Ji Songxian and his entourage to watch the festival ceremony, and said with a smile: "It's hard for him to have a heart, and the gifts are all the best objects, not to mention the side, but this grapefruit is not easy to obtain, and these cantaloupe, your father loves to eat the most." ”

Ji Songxian's face blushed: "My mother also gave a lot." ”

"Silly girl." Wu smiled: "Mother is not all for you, your father's old man sees that other people's eyes are not eyes and noses are not noses." This day has been going on for a long time, and it doesn't make people's hearts cold, and when you get married, the husband and wife will inevitably be discordant, and your father will pick and choose, I have to be kind to people, and make people's hearts hot. ”

"Mother." Ji Songxian hugged Wu's arm: "I knew that my mother was the best for me." ”

Wu turned around and pinched Ji Songxian's nose: "I have a girl like you in my life, which one can be good if it's not good for you." ”

While he was talking, someone sent a Boxing Lily, and Wu hurriedly asked the girl to check the inventory. There was a sad face for a while: "How long can I eat all these mooncakes?" There are also those melons and fruits that can't be eaten for a while, won't they be spoiled? ”

"It's better to disperse." Ji Songxian suggested with a smile: "Give the head of the village on the Zhuangzi." The subordinates of the family and the like are divided into some, so that they can also have a good festival, and the remaining melons and fruits might as well be canned. ”

"Canned?" Wu's face was puzzled: "What is it?" ”

"It's not difficult to do this, I'll know when I'm a mother in a while." Ji Songxian smiled and picked up some good apples and pears and the like: "I can put it for a long time when it's done." It can be eaten even in winter. We have some leftover grapes, let's make some wine. Don't worry, you can't waste it. ”

Wu Shi dissipated his sadness at this time, and he was busy working with Ji Songxian to make canned food with the girl.

The two washed a few jars first. Peel and cut the washed fruit into pieces, put the jar in boiling water and steam and sterilize, put the fruit pieces in, put a layer of fruit and sprinkle a layer of sugar, put it and pour some cold boiled water, and then put the jar and lid into the pot to steam, and then cover the lid and seal it after steaming.

Wu Shi vacated the cauldron at home for boiling jars, steaming cans, and boiling water on the other side, and there was no time to be idle for a moment, and the girls were also commanded, and it was easy to do it for two or three days, and the warehouse was neatly stacked with many cans and jars.

Ji Songxian wrote out the method of making wine and handed it to Sun, and Sun and Wang's daughters-in-law picked up many grapes and made several jars of wine.

I lived for many days in a hurry, and it was not finished until the day before August 15, so it can be seen how many gifts the Ji family has received.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu's began to take his daughter-in-law to work in the kitchen at noon, and set up two large tables of wine and food, and in the evening, the family sat in the garden to eat wine and admire the moon, and the red lanterns were also hung a lot, reflecting the moonlight, smelling the fragrance of several tall osmanthus trees in the garden, and there was a feeling of quiet and good years.

After the reunion dinner, Ji Yi and Wu's old couple went out to play, Ji Gang took Sun's, Ji Jiang took Wang's, Ji Zong took Tao's, Ji Mian took Ba's all out to have fun, Ji Wei, Ji Zhen and Wu Ruiyun, the three bachelors, also went out to have fun, and there was no one left in the house for a while, Ji Songxian was just about to go back to the house, and he heard Liang Liang smile and said: "Commander Cheng has come to pick up the lady." ”

Ji Songxian walked into the house without saying anything, entered the house and stood in front of the dressing table to take a closer look, and saw that his hair was neatly combed, his clothes were properly worn, and there were not many ornaments on his head, but he also took advantage of it, so he nodded with satisfaction and said to Huan Liang: "I will go out for a while, you will also go to play, there are many copper plates in the box under the dressing table, you can buy some if you take it out and want to buy something." ”

When Huan Liang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately grabbed several handfuls of copper coins from the box: "The slave has long wanted to buy some osmanthus candy, as well as the glutinous rice cakes, the fried lotus root slices made by the snacks sold outside are also delicious, and the crab roe buns are ......."

Ji Songxian was dizzy for a moment when he heard this: "Can you finish eating these things?" ”

"Taste less of each." Huan Liang patted his stomach: "The slave can eat tightly, the girl is not afraid that the slave will hold on." ”

Ji Songxian waved his hand: "Just like this, you can go out by yourself for a while, remember not to be naughty, and don't go too far." ”

nodded around the beam and sent Ji Songxian out of the door, and then happily went on her food journey.

When Ji Songxian went out, he saw Cheng Huaijin wearing a moon-white dark pattern gown, and he usually wore a black robe and had another charm, and he unconsciously looked a little crazy.

"Let's go." Cheng Huaijin stretched out his hand to invite Ji Songxian, and Ji Songxian pursed his lips and smiled: "You're late today, I said I would come earlier." ”

Cheng Huaijin casually sorted out Ji Songxian's broken hair that fell: "Your Majesty is also going on a trip today, and I was busy arranging it for a long time before I got free." ”

"Just kidding, I don't blame you." Ji Songxian tugged on Cheng Huaijin's sleeve: "Let's go quickly." ”

The two walked side by side, the street where the Ji family was located was not very lively, the road was paved with bluestone, there were many trees of various colors on the side of the road, the breeze was gentle and the moon was in the sky, and the two of them walked together to listen to the wind and watch the moon, but there was a different taste.

It's just that leaving this street is like entering another time and space, and it is suddenly lively.

The cries of hawkers, the voices of fathers calling sons, mothers calling daughters, husbands calling wives, and whispers between couples are almost infinitely amplified, forming a very lively and heart-warming Mid-Autumn Festival moonlit night picture.

Cheng Huaijin first took Ji Songxian to the Seven Star Bridge to put lotus lanterns.

The vendors on the side of the bridge sold all kinds of lotus lanterns, Ji Songxian looked at it in the past, and selected two big pink lanterns, Cheng Huaijin lit the lamps and candles, and the two put the lanterns into the river together, telling it to go down the water.

She opened her eyes and saw that Cheng Huaijin was making a wish very seriously, so she sat and squatted aside and waited for him.

After a long time, Cheng Huaijin opened his eyes, and Ji Songxian smiled: "You made a wish for so long, and my legs were numb when I squatted." ”

Cheng Huaijin got up and bent down to reach out to pick her up, Ji Songxian took his hand generously and got up, just stood up, several young girls and young men bought lanterns and ran straight over, almost knocking Ji Songxian into the river, Cheng Huaijin took her into his arms with a force, and looked coldly at the little girl who almost hit Ji Songxian.

The little girl was startled, and her eyes were moist and apologized: "Childe, madam, I'm really sorry, I, I'm ...... I can't help it. ”

Ji Songxian will not be like a little girl, and seeing that the little girl is obviously pampered by the family, she looks very delicate, but her apology should also be polite, so he smiled and patted Cheng Huaijin, and said to the little girl: "It's okay, but you should be careful, now that there are many people by the river, don't stand on the riverside, be careful to bump into people." ”

"Madame, you have such a good heart." The little girl laughed with two dimples, and it was obvious that she had a good impression of Ji Songxian: "People are so good, and their hearts are good." ”

Cheng Huaijin pulled Ji Songxian and left, took two steps, but heard the little girl muttering to herself: "It's a pity that my eyesight is not very good, and I picked such a husband who looks like an ice cube." ”

"Flutter!" With a sound, Ji Songxian burst out laughing.

looked at Cheng Huaijin again, but his face was not very good-looking, and his expression was a little awkward.

Ji Songxian took his hand: "It's just a child, she doesn't know what kind of person you are, it is inevitable that she will misunderstand, I know that your good is done." ”

Just this sentence, the corners of Cheng Huaijin's mouth were slightly hooked, and when he looked at it again, there was red on his neck and ears.

Leaving the Qixing Bridge, Ji Songxian pulled Cheng Huaijin and walked briskly: "Hurry up, hurry up, where is the flutter?" ”

This year, because Emperor Qingfeng wants to have fun with the people, Jinling City on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is becoming more and more lively, from the large flat ground next to Heishan Street, to Zhongping Street, Zhongzheng Street, and then to the lower street entrance of Yumin Fang, there are many people playing Guan Pu.

Cheng Huaijin took Ji Songxian to the area of Black Mountain Street first, which was very flat, and now it was crowded with people.

Ji Songxian watched many hawkers, as well as many literati and wealthy businessmen, who had set up stalls here, and some tourists stopped at random from time to time to pounce with people.

She caught a glimpse of a stall set up by a man in green clothes, and there were no valuable objects on it, but it was all strange things, such as a wooden car that could walk, a mud tumbler, all kinds of animals carved from the roots, the bamboo snake that was so vivid that it could make people start, and the wooden monkey climbing on the pole and dangling.

Ji Songxian took a few steps over and pointed at the bamboo snake: "I'll pounce on this with you." ”

"What is the little lady going to do?" The scholar smiled and took the bamboo snake to the front of the stall, and Ji Songxian took out a silver hairpin inlaid with beads from his sleeve: "How about this?" ”

"Okay, pounce." The scholar was very arrogant, so he immediately grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them on the stall, and took another bamboo piece: "Let's guess what?" (To be continued......)
