Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mooncakes
Qian Yuan was very irritable.
It's okay to say that the mother's insistence and the little sister's incomprehension are okay, but after being speechless by the uncle, the depression in his heart made Qian Yuan very unhappy.
However, Qian Yuan would not vent his anger on irrelevant people, let alone his family.
Although my uncle and aunt have a stable life, she has been alone for a long time, and she can't say a good word.
The mother lost her husband and son, the younger sister lost her father and brother, and the sister-in-law who had been recuperating in bed for a long time, in fact, the atmosphere of the Qian family has been extremely depressed in the past six months.
However, after Qian Yuan returned to his hometown, this situation has changed a lot.
There is no doubt that this change comes from the traits of the traverser.
As early as a few months ago, Zhang Juzheng was very surprised by this, this Songjiang Xiucai was born in a family, he has been famous since he was a child, and he should be arrogant, but he laughed and laughed with the servants and nurses, and even cooked in person without dignity.
Qian Yuan needs to fit into this era, but he doesn't want to be completely swallowed by this era, he wants to keep some of the things he brought from his previous life.
To put it more clearly, the deliberate Qian Yuan is more casual, more intimate, and more unruly to his family, and the jokes he says casually often make the little sister's crisp laughter sound in the yard, and Tan, who has been suffering from a bitter face for half a year, can't help laughing from time to time.
It is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Qian Yuan drew the pattern early and asked people to order the mold, and tossed in the kitchen for two or three days under the guidance of Tan's guidance, before he came up with a moon cake that was vaguely familiar, but the taste was basically not much different from that of later generations.
"It's a lot of work." Qian Yuan watched Li Si put the moon cakes into the box, turned his head and asked, "Which one hasn't been delivered?"
"It's all delivered, it's all delivered." Tan smiled and moved his fingers, "Your uncle's family, the Sun family, the Lu family, and a few clan elders have all sent it." ”
For Tan, her son cooks by himself, which is the most shocking and touching thing for her.
"Don't send it, don't send it, I don't have enough to eat." The little sister was bouncing on the side, and there were still moon cake crumbs left on her mouth.
"Watch your teeth!" Qian Yuan habitually touched the little sister's bun, "That's it, Li Si, you send it to Yang Wen for them to taste." ”
The Qian family's house only has two entrances, and Zhang San rented a house not far away for the nursing homes to eat and stay.
Since returning to his hometown, Li Si, who has been by the young master's side, feels that he has regained his previous status, and said in a low voice: "It's not necessary, right? ”
"Can you still call the shots for me?" Qian Yuan scolded with a smile, thinking about it and preparing to send it over in person, but there was a familiar sound of calling the door outside the door.
"Brother Yun is here." Qian Yuan wiped his hands and saw the young man behind Sun Kehong, "You Cheng is also here." ”
The young man laughed and jumped into the door, and when he saw Tan's coldly, he hurriedly saluted properly, but he didn't say a word.
"Meet Auntie." Sun Kehong bowed to the Tan family, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You Cheng, you are too honest." ”
"People call it fun." Qian Yuan sneered on the side, "Otherwise, you will have to be a generation shorter!" ”
The young man's face was flushed, and he suddenly opened his mouth to correct: "No, it's two generations shorter than me." ”
"You remember it well!" Sun Kehong pursed his lips, "Next time Pingquan Gong reprimands you again, don't run to my house again." ”
The young man shook his head and said, "Confucius said, the small staff will be accepted, and the big staff will run." ”
Qian Yuan has a stubborn and eccentric temperament since he was a child, and he is rarely popular, as long as this young man has followed his ass since he was a child, Tan Shi smiled at this scene, "There are just baked moon cakes, try them." ”
Sun Kehong laughed and said: "He Chenggang ate the box clean at my house and didn't eat enough, so he had to come to the door, it is said that Brother Yuan personally cooked?" ”
"Where did I eat alone!" The young man was unconvinced and retorted: "A total of eight pieces, you didn't eat it?" ”
Tan's face showed a hint of distress, according to Qian Yuan's words...... I couldn't eat or dress well in Hangzhou, so I had to cook by myself, so I practiced this cooking skill.
This young man's name is Lu Shude, the word and Cheng, and his brother is Lu Shusheng, the twenty-year meeting of Jiajing, the word and Ji, and the number Pingquan.
Lu Shusheng is Qian Yuan's uncle Lu's father, in other words, Lu Shude is Lu's uncle.
And Lu's daughter Qian Zhi married Sun Kehong's cousin, and Qian Yuan was Lu's nephew.
So in terms of generation, Qian Yuan and Sun Kehong are two generations younger than Lu Shude, who is fourteen years old this year.
And the Tan family, who is a concubine with the Lu family, is also a generation younger than him, so Lu Shude only salutes and never makes a sound when he sees the Tan family.
Qian Yuan admired the old man of the Lu family who had just passed away for more than a year, he gave birth to Lu Shude at the age of fifty-seven, he was really old and strong!
In fact, not only that, Lu Shusheng, who is 55 years old this year, has no children so far, and only gave birth to his son Lu Yanzhang five years later on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
A macho man!
sent his mother and little sister into the inner courtyard, and kicked Li Si out to deliver moon cakes, Qian Yuan took the remaining moon cakes and took the two to the study.
"The humble house is shabby, so let's order it." Qian Yuan casually poured two cups of herbal tea from the big teapot, "I ran to Sun's house again, and Pingquan Gong is going to beat you again?" ”
Lu Shude lowered his head dejectedly, but the moon cake in his hand kept stuffing into his mouth, snorting like a squirrel.
"This time it's related to you, Brother Yuan." Sun Kehong explained: "Your uncle and mother went back to their parents' house yesterday to talk about it...... Brother Yuan, do you want to move to Hangzhou? ”
Qian Yuan's hand paused, and only nodded slightly after half a sound.
"Pingquan Gong naturally refuted it, but ......" Sun Kehong turned his head to look at Lu Shude.
"I'll just defend you a few words, but the result is ......" Lu Shude cried with a sad face, "Now that my father is gone, there is no one to protect me......"
Looking at Sun Kehong, who was frowning, Qian Yuan sighed speechlessly, "Now that your father has passed away, my family doesn't dare to keep you, otherwise Pingquan Gong will come to the door...... It's the Sun family, Yi Zhai Gong can protect you. ”
More than ten years ago, the young Lu Shude was in trouble at home and was beaten by his brother Lu Shusheng, but Lu Shude ran away from home and happened to bump into Qian Yuan, and was taken home by him to eat and drink.
Since then, Lu Shude ran to the Qian family once he got into trouble, and the Lu family was not worried......
"Forget it, Hiraizumi Gong's temperament ......" Sun Kehong waved his hand again and again, turned his head and saw Qian Yuan's essay on the bookcase, "Brother Yuan, you ...... this word"
"It's ugly." Lu Shude, who came over, complained: "If it was this word last year, Brother Yuan would not be able to pass the county test." ”
"It's just for convenience." Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, picked up the quill pen on the hill of the pen stand, dipped some ink on the inkstone, and quickly wrote a few words on the paper.
The three of them casually talked and laughed, and Sun Kehong suddenly asked, "Brother Yuan, why did you decide to move to Hangzhou?" ”
Qian Yuan squinted and looked at Sun Kehong, not knowing whether this sentence was what he wanted to ask or whether Sun Chengen wanted to ask.
Sun Kehong smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "I received it the day before yesterday, a group of Japanese invaders landed from Liujiagang and invaded Suzhou, robbing a large amount of tax silver. ”
Qian Yuan took the letter and quickly browsed it, he had no impression of the name Ren Huan, he killed fifty-six thieves and burned more than ten ships, and the results were not small.
Qian Yuan thought for a moment and then looked at Lu Shude, "Pingquan Gong also knows?" ”
"Uh-huh." Lu Shude wiped the crumbs from his mouth, "So he said Brother Yuan, you are worrying blindly." ”
"Nonsense?" Qian Yuan's cheeks bulged.
"My brother said that Wang Min, the governor of Zhejiang, should be called a famous handsome, and the Japanese will soon be calmed down." Lu Shude shook his head, "It's really unnecessary to move to Hangzhou. ”
Wang Chen has become a famous handsome?
Qian Yuan complained in his heart speechlessly, not to mention that this evaluation is 108,000 miles away from the truth, this famous handsome man is planning to slip away on the soles of his feet!
