Chapter 508: A Family Is To Be Neat and Tidy
Tonight the moon is full, and the family is reunited.
Dusk smiled and looked up at the moon, looked down at Yu Yanliang, smiled gently, and the affection between his eyebrows and eyes was only between men, "Let's go, let's go eat moon cakes together." β
Between men who have experienced life and death, they can be called brothers.
Despite the drama.
Yu Yanliang was alone in Gyeonggi, so he didn't think that this Mid-Autumn Festival would be grand, and he didn't even buy mooncakes, and he still carried mooncakes in his arms or the benefits of the male town's care.
Hearing this, he sighed, "That's a good feeling." β
Xu Yin tugged at the corners of his mouth on the side, "Why do I think you're here for moon cakes?" β
Yu Yanliang slapped Xu Yin on the shoulder, "Can't get used to it?" β
You're beating me.
Xu Yin was speechless, if I really beat you, you have to kneel.
In terms of fighting, Yu Yanliang is stronger than ordinary Ti Cai, but compared with Xu Yin, the gap is a bit obvious.
The three men returned to the Yellow Mansion together.
Back to Huangfu, good guy, why are there so many people?
All gathered in the large courtyard in front of the hall.
Xu Miaojin, Scarlet Chun, Suo Qiuna, Ursha, Casili, Muhan Mula, Murong Qingmei, Shangguan Zixia, Situ Nazha and Ouyang Reba, as well as four women from the Western Regions who couldn't remember their names at dusk, were all there.
All wore Ming Dynasty women's skirts.
Huang Guan.
Wu Pu, Wu and Bi, Wu Li, Zhang Hongqiao.
Tang Qingshan, Zhang Lian, Tang Sai'er.
This is already twenty-one people, plus all the slaves, small servants, cooks and maids in the Huang Mansion, crowded, about seventy people, not counting the three men in the power generation room.
Now those three men have tasted the sweetness, and the money they earn in a month is about the same as that of the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion.
Of course, the so-called steward is also the unified management of slaves and servants.
There is no power.
The real power of the Huang Mansion is in the hands of Xu Miaojin.
Xu Miaojin and Suo Qiuna stood in front of the steps of the hall, and at the bottom of the steps was a large incense table, on which were orderly placed tributes, the most conspicuous of which were watermelons and moon cakes.
Dusk knows in my heart that this is to welcome the cold and sacrifice the moon.
After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a major festival.
Seeing the return of the big official, Scarlet Chun jumped and shouted: "Uncle, aunt, here and here, the moon and the moon are waiting for you." β
Like a little girl.
Dusk smiled heartily, crossed the crowd to the incense case, and asked, "Where is the statue of the moon god?" β
Xu Miaojin Nunu mouthed, "Oh." β
Dusk looked over, and sure enough, according to custom, the moon god seemed to be in the position of the moon, so he turned to look at Huang Guan and Wu Pu, "Please ask the two uncles to worship the moon together." β
Huang Guan laughed and stepped forward.
Wu Pu hesitated, but he was not polite, and also stepped forward to stand side by side with Huang Guan.
Huang Guan smiled: "Although I am not your uncle, but now you are the head of the family in Huangfu, and you should also sacrifice to the moon." After speaking, he picked up three sticks of incense and handed them to dusk.
The dusk was dark, and his uncle Huang Guan began to respect himself.
Fruit incense on the way.
So the three men with the highest status sacrificed to the moon together.
After the moon festival, the moon cakes are cut, and then the scholars and men will sit together to drink and admire the moon and chant poems, while the women and children will light lanterns together or go to the river to release krathong.
Cutting mooncakes is a housewife's business.
Soon, the butler stepped forward and reported the number of people present.
Dusk asked the housekeeper if he had counted the family members of Yanliang and Xu Yin, the housekeeper shook his head and said no, Dusk asked Yu Yanliang and Xu Yin, how many people are in your family, Xu Yin and Yu Yanliang immediately answered the number.
Dusk pondered for a long time, and said to his wife Xu Miaojin: "Don't forget your father and my father, and your aunt and sister." β
They are all immortal deceased.
Tonight the moon is full, and moon cakes should also be left for them.
Xu Miaojin bowed, combined with the concubines on the housekeeper's newspaper, plus Xu Yin and Yu Yanliang's family, plus some immortals, Xu Miaojin had a little scalp numbness, more than 100 people.
She was a little embarrassed.
Look at Suaqiuna.
Even if you don't have the status of an equal wife, you have the reality of an equal wife.
Suo Qiuna didn't understand, "Can I too?" β
Dusk chin head, serious and long-hearted, very parental, big hand wave, "Central Plains culture, cutting moon cakes is a housewife's business, of course you are the housewife of the Huang Mansion, Sister Jin is pregnant, it will be very tiring to cut a lot, you just work hard, by the way, the moon cakes should be cut into lotus shapes, how many pieces you ask Sister Jin, you can't have one more, you can't have one less." β
The ancients were still very particular about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Suo Qiuna glanced at Xu Miaojin.
Xu Miaojin nodded.
So Suo Qiuna was cautious, "Then I'm really?" β
Dusk hummed.
People are waiting to divide the moon cakes - of course, not only the moon cakes, everyone eats an atmosphere, in fact, as early as the morning, Xu Miaojin housekeeper sent the moon cakes.
When the moon cakes are distributed tonight, each person will also have a small red envelope.
Picture a festive.
This is also the rule of the Yellow Mansion.
Dusk didn't want to disturb the atmosphere of the people, and said to Xu Yin and Yu Yanliang: "Two, go to the main courtyard, move a chair to the courtyard, prepare six chairs, put good wine, and wait for the inferior cook to divide the moon cakes, and then order side dishes to the main courtyard." β
Drinking and admiring the moon is a happy event in life.
However, in the feudal era, there was a hierarchy, so those who could drink in the main courtyard were men with status.
Women can't.
Xu Miaojin said on the side: "It's already been laid out." β
Dusk nodded his head.
So everyone helped Suo Qiuna on the side, watched her cut moon cakes, helped her count, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Suo Qiuna, who was in exile in a foreign land, had a bright glint in her eyes, her face was red, and a layer of dense fine sweat floated on the tip of her nose.
Xu Miaojin took a brocade to help her wipe it.
Then the aunt Wu Li came to distribute moon cakes, and sent a moon cake and a small red envelope, and the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly reached a climax.
After shouting for a long time, the servants were overjoyed after seeing the little red envelope, and after thanking the master's family together, they ate moon cakes and went to workβthere were three or four tables of food to be served in the main courtyard.
At dusk, he asked Wu and Bi to send mooncakes and red envelopes to the three men in the power generation room.
Then he smiled and said that it was time to eat.
Dusk, Xu Miaojin, Scarlet Chun, Suo Qiuna, Ursa and other eleven women from the Western Regions all went to the main courtyard, and at dusk they went to invite Wu Pu's family, uncle Huang Guan, and Tang Qingshan's family to the main courtyard for dinner.
did not shout Yu Yanliang and Xu Yin.
The two of them were now cooked, and went straight to the main courtyard.
Seating in the main courtyard, Dusk, Huang Guan, Wu Pu, Wu Youbi, Xu Yin, Yu Yanliang, Tang Qingshan have a table, Xu Miaojin, Scarlet Chun, Suo Qiuna, Zhang Lian, Wu Li, Tang Sai'er, Zhang Hongqiao have a table, and Ursha, Cassili and other eleven women have a table.
When I got up at dusk, everyone got up one after another.
Dusk held the wine glass and said to everyone: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, today I will sing and drink, and I don't look at the year of the heavenly palace, but I ask everyone here to have a family reunion, I did it, you are free!" β
After saying that, I drank it all.
Except for Xu Miaojin and Scarlet Chun, Tang Sai'er, Wu Li and Zhang Hongqiao, the rest of the people, even if they were women, drank it all.
Especially Zhang Lian, who is bold.
The heroine's style is revealed.
Put down the cup, pour wine for his uncle Huang Guan and Wu Pu at dusk, Xu Yin, Yu Yanliang, and Tang Qingshan poured wine for each other, and filled themselves at dusk.
A family is to be neat and tidy.
And I will guard this happiness at dusk, while guarding the Ming Dynasty.
