On the day of the crab feast, Chu Tao wore a peach-colored skirt, combed a high flying fairy bun on her head, and wore a circle of hosta flowers around her.

Her eyebrows were slanted and fluttering, almost flying up her sideburns, her eyes were painted brightly, and her mouth was painted with bright red rouge, which was very different from her beautiful appearance in the past.

When Xue Zicheng saw Chu Tao for the first time, he was surprised how this girl was reborn in a short period of time, as if she had completely changed as a person.

The aura has changed, not like the yellow-haired girl who didn't understand anything before.

"Master Shi, long time no see!" Xue Zicheng said with a greeting.

Chu Ying arranged the position this time very cleverly, Shi Li and Chu Tao did not sit side by side, but sat face to face, next to Sun Shaomin on the left of Chu Tao, Wang Wan on the right, several idle princes sat on the upper seat, although Xue Congjia was also in the upper seat, but in the same row as Chu Tao, if it was not deliberately searching, the two would not have visual communication.

Chu Tao was drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea on the side, and the chrysanthemum tea was brewed with a very beautiful and complete petal, and it was also dotted with a few red wolfberries.

"Alas...... I'm not old......" Chu Tao sighed in a low voice, and at a glance she knew that this tea was prepared for her by her old mother, who had to worry about everything.

"Miss, I'm going to eat crabs tonight, this chrysanthemum tea is cold, you can drink less." Xiaohong whispered.

"I don't let you drink wine, and I don't drink chrysanthemum tea, it's so boring." Hatsu Peach is depressed.

At this time, Shi Li seemed to understand Chu Tao's expression, and ordered the people at the banquet to give Chu Tao a light of osmanthus wine.

Chu Tao smiled, but he didn't drink it.

After a while, Shao Min and Wang Wan were seated, Chu Tao began to fidget, Wang Wan called her several times but she didn't hear it.

"Huh? What's wrong? "Chu Tao came back to her senses.

Wang Wan pointed to Shi Li, who was sitting opposite, with her eyes, and said, "Sister is so blessed." ”

Chu Tao glanced at Shao Min, who looked like usual, and said with a dry smile: "Where is it, my sister is a good blessing." ”

The crab was brought up, and Chu Tao quietly picked up the scissors from the eight crabs, and cut off all the two large pincers and eight legs of the crab in turn.

After removing the crab cover, remove the crab cover, scoop out the crab stomach part with a small spoon, and suck the crab roe wrapped on the outside.

Chu Tao took a little vinegar and poured it on the crab body, and ate the crab roe and crab paste.

Finally, eat the legs, because by this time the crab legs have cooled down, and the meat and shell can be separated, and they will be separated with a light tug.

The whole process of eating crabs in the first peach was smooth and not rude or barbaric at all.

Xiaohong was originally instructed by Mrs. Jiang to teach Chu Tao a good lesson, but she didn't expect Chu Tao to be orderly when she did this, and even brought a little sense of elegance.

Even Wang Wan had heard of it before, it was the most ridiculous to eat crabs in the first peach, using both hands and feet, it was not beautiful, but when I saw it today, I shook my head secretly, it seems that it is another false rumor.

There are many people who are popular.

Only Shao Min only had two chopsticks and crab legs, his expression was light, and he didn't take Chu Tao's abnormality seriously.

Only those idle princes, in order to relieve the pain of the three kings' widows, kept telling some interesting anecdotes to amuse, and the atmosphere was also very harmonious.

Chu Tao was engrossed in dealing with the crab in her hand, as if this was the most important thing in the world, what was the person on her right, right, right, right, and right, what was she talking that she didn't want to know at all.

Who said that she Jiang Chutao couldn't use eight crabs? As long as you are willing to learn by heart and remember by heart, how can you not know how to use these tools?

She just thinks it's cumbersome and troublesome, and she doesn't think that she can eat the crab with complicated tools, she just needs to get all the crab meat and crab roe out, whether she uses her teeth or tongue or fist.

It must be that her hair is combed too tightly, so she will make Chu Tao feel that this banquet is boring.

"Peach, you come out, I have something to tell you." Shao Min dropped the crab, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his mouth, and said lightly.

Chu Tao looked at her friend's calm and calm face, and became a little uneasy.

"Hmm......" Hatsumomo said.

The two men walked up to the corridor, not knowing where to speak.

"You and Shi Li, what's going on?" Shao Min finally spoke, and his tone was a little choking.

The reason why Chu Tao was weak was because she felt that Shao Min had a good impression of Shi Li, and she and Shi Li were married, which was undoubtedly slapping Shao Min in the face.

"I ...... My mother thinks Shi Li is good, he is very good to me, I don't hate him...... Just ......" Chu Tao couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

"What does your mother think is good? Is it your mother who is married or are you married? Wasn't it quite ruthless for you to reject Sun Yihao at the beginning? I don't like it either, why did you get up when you got to Shi Li? Shao Min was furious.

Chu Tao couldn't answer a word in the face of his friend's questioning.

It took a long time before he sighed: "I sometimes don't know what I'm thinking and doing, I'm like I'm dreaming these days......"

"Day after day, day after day. But my mother is no longer urging marriage, and she doesn't talk in my ear anymore, I think it's so quiet......"

"Momoko, tell me, do you still like him?" Shao Min asked.

Neither of them explicitly said who this "he" was, but they both knew that this "he" was Xue Congjia.

"Don't mention him to me...... I'm upset, I'll forget about him. "Hatsu Tao is very reluctant to this name.

"I advise you not to be with Shi Li at this moment, I am also selfish." Shao Min said.

"You ...... to him Isn't it? Hatsu Tao asked.

"Silly Peach, I have a crush on him, but not to the point where I want to break with you for him. I'm just worried about you, if you marry him, everyone around me will be happy, but you won't be happy. ”

"Is it fair to Shi Li that he will have your people, but he can't have your heart? It's not fair, it's better to stop the loss in time than to hurt others against your own inner thoughts. Shao Min said quietly.

"Shao Min, I used to be a person who worked hard to pursue my own happiness regardless of the eyes of others, but in the end, I had nothing but a basket of ridicule from others."

"You didn't end up like me, so I don't understand what I say. Before, I was afraid that you would have a good impression of Shi Li, and I was afraid that I would rob you of your position, but now I have no other ideas. I think it's pretty good. Chu Tao said.

Shao Min was sad to hear these words, indeed, she had no such experience, and she didn't know what it was like to chase people.

Maybe that's the saying: if the knife doesn't hit you, you never know how much it hurts.

"Peaches ......" Shao Min saw that Chu Tao was going farther and farther.

Chu Tao touched his mouth and found that the fishy smell on his hand couldn't be removed.

She picked up a mugwort leaf and rubbed it on her hand, trying to use the smell of the leaf to remove the fishy smell.

Shake, shake, shake, shake, Chu Tao found himself bumping into someone.

This man is not soft at all, but hard.

When I looked up, I saw that this hard man was Xue Congjia.

Oh, Xue Congjia.

What the? Xue Congjia?

Hatsumo's tongue is knotted, and I don't know what to say, or else, say hello.

"Hey, hello, I haven't seen you for a few days and I've grown taller again hahaha, it seems that the food on the island is good, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." Chu Tao waved his hand, pretending to be very indifferent.

Xue Congjia lowered his head and did not speak.

Chu Tao's heart was weak, and he deliberately went back to stay for a long time, first coquettish with his mother, and then discussed with Wang Wan how to practice calligraphy, and finally discussed with Xue Zicheng how to make pork knuckle the best.

didn't rest all night, and finally saw that the sun had set, so Chu Tao sneaked out under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Out of the capital, Chu Tao felt that there was no problem in acting according to the original plan, he changed into a set of men's clothes, and then followed Xiaohong to sneak away from the small door, and Xiaozi was left in the palace to perfunctory Mrs. Jiang.

Let's go! Look at the moon and go!

The lower part of the Moon Gazing Floor is the crescent moon door of the four open coupons, the four doors are connected, the pavilion is a brick and wood structure, and the west of the building is paved with wooden boards. The roof is a four-water single-eaves tube tile roof, the ridge angle is reversed, and the upper eaves have openwork.

A one-meter-wide wooden bridge leads from the side wings to the pavilion, and there is also a four-corner pavilion with a single room at the front.

The Qinhuai River flows through the side of the building, and the trees on the bank are charming and charming, and the scenery is very beautiful. It is a place for the Tusi official to relax and enjoy the moon.

Sure enough, as Xiaohong said, the Moon Tower was preparing for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and the trees next to it were already full of ropes for hanging lanterns, and there were several people in the Moon Tower who were busy arranging things.

Chu Tao looked at their hurried appearance, and couldn't help but be a little funny, if they were seen by their own mother, they would definitely say that they were not organized.

Hatsumoko entered the interior of the Mochizuki Tower from the small wing on the side, and climbed up the stairs in a bone.

The field of vision is really broad, the night is low, and the entire Qinhuai River and Jinling slowly unfold in the eyes of Chu Tao like a picture scroll.

It's really beautiful, there is no one else in Mochizuki Tower except for himself and Xiaohong, quietly, making people feel extraordinarily calm.

"Miss, do you think it's scary, it's so quiet. You weren't the kind of person who liked to be quiet, didn't you love to be lively? Xiaohong said.

"I said, when I get married in the future, do I still have this free opportunity to come out and see the moon?"

Chu Tao smiled evilly: "Xiaohong, when I get married, I will also help you choose a good family, what do you think?" ”

"Oh, what are you marrying, Miss, what are you talking about?" Xiaohong pretended to be shy.

"Don't marry, it's better not to marry, come with me to become a nun, let's print nine scars on our heads, how domineering!" Hatsu Tao patted Xiaohong's shoulder.

"Okay, miss, you better find me a good family, the family must have fertile land, at least ten pigs, cows, and three houses, mother-in-law must have a good temper, and the father-in-law can't be lazy...... Xiaohong said seriously.

"The trouble is dead, asking for so much, if you want to marry the emperor, will you marry or not?" Hatsu Tao rolled her eyes.

"Cheesy is dead, hurry up and look at the moon with me, I don't know jade when I am young, what kind of plate do I call...... What's next? Hatsu Tao muttered a few words.

"Call it a big cake." Chu Tao said that the moon sometimes looks like a big cake anyway, otherwise how could anyone make a moon cake like this!

A low chuckle was heard in the distance.
