Chapter 57: Mid-Autumn Festival
Since Chu Yu has contracted the pastries for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she naturally will not let herself be idle, and she stays in the kitchen from morning to night every day, and the people of Murong Villa have become her guinea pigs. She originally wanted to send some delicious ones to the Mufu and the prefect's mansion, but she gave up thinking about it.
In the few days after Murong Yunxi visited the prefect, he was also busy because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and went out several times to discuss with others how to do this year's activities, and every time he came back, he would go to the kitchen to find Chu Yu, tell her everyone's thoughts, and Chu Yu would also give some suggestions appropriately.
Soon, the much-anticipated Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and the venue for the party was finally set at the entrance of the government.
Chu Yu explained to Zhu'er and went to the restaurant early in the morning. Using the semi-finished materials prepared in advance, she made walnut cake, jujube paste cake, bean paste cake, osmanthus cake, salted egg yolk flavored moon cakes, etc., and when she and the kitchen masters were busy, it was noon.
didn't care about eating, Chu Yu hurriedly ordered someone to send pastries and fruits, and he followed.
The platform at the entrance of the government has been set up, and there are many lanterns of different colors hanging in the line of sight, and there are many tables and stools neatly placed under the stage.
After Hatsuyu greeted the prefect, he asked people to divide the things and put them on the table.
People came one after another, and everyone was looking for a place to sit at random, and it was soon full.
When Murong Yunxi came with the old lady and Xingxing, Chu Yu saw it, so as soon as she was done, she rushed to the table.
Chu Yu sat down and found that Nan Muxi was also at this table, and there were Nan Muyi, Master Lin, and Lin Zheng at the same table, and there were three other empty seats. Since Nan Muxi is sitting here, the vacant seat should be reserved for the prefect's mansion.
"Mother, hug." Happy finally saw his mother, coquettish to hug, Chu Yu took over Happy from Murong Yunxi.
Just when Chu Yu was thinking about whether to find a topic to talk about, Wang Xixi came to this table and sat down, and naturally her mother was with her, that is, the prefect's wife.
Everyone in the audience looked at the stage, and at this time, the prefect Wang stood on the stage in civilian clothes.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is the first time that the prefect has participated in organizing such a gathering, and I would like to thank all of you for your support, and wish you all good health and family reunion. I hope everyone can have a different holiday this year. ”
After Wang Zhifu finished speaking, everyone applauded, the drums sounded, and the event officially began.
Governor Wang walked to the table of Chu Yu, signaled to everyone, and sat down as well.
The two "lions" swaggered up to the sound of gongs and drums, sometimes standing up, sometimes lying down, fluttering, jumping, rolling, the movements are very skillful, the head keeps shaking, and the eyes blink.
The lion dancers' hard work won bursts of applause, which was a good start to the event.
The next various performances were staged in turn, acrobatics, singing and dancing, and various musical instrument performances, which attracted continuous applause from the audience.
Chu Yu had never seen such a scene, and secretly admired the skills and talents of those people in his heart. Of course, her most important task is to find out which young lady is more compatible with her eldest brother.
"Sister-in-law, you look so serious!" Nan Muyi on the side touched Chu Yu and whispered.
"These people are amazing, it's an eye-opener today!"
"Well, the one who played the guzheng just now is full of fairy spirit!"
Hatsuyu nodded in agreement. "That's right, the sound of the piano is also beautiful." After that, I must find out which girl she is.
The excitement passed quickly, and when the performance was over, it was almost time for dinner. Several restaurants took the initiative to take care of dinner, and as early as when everyone was still immersed in the show, they prepared it in the backyard of the prefect, and soon, one after another delicious dishes were served on the table.
Although Chu Yu ate a snack halfway, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the dishes on the table.
"King Anping, would you like to say a few words to everyone?" It can be seen that the Wang Governor's Mansion is very polite to Nan Muxi.
"Governor Wang, you are polite again. Today, I only think of myself as an ordinary person, and everything is arranged by the prefect. ”
"Okay." The prefect knew that it was useless for him to say more, so he picked up his wine glass and stood up. "Come on, let's raise our glasses, let's toast to today!"
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
The prefect of the king drank it all. "Next, everyone can enjoy the wine and food, after lighting the lamp, you can also go to the cruise ship to continue to enjoy the moon and taste tea, in short, you must have fun today!" Governor Wang's words drew another round of cheers from everyone.
After the prefect sat down, everyone began to feast on the food, and the surrounding area was full of chattering and conversation.
"It's rare to drink at the same table, why don't we have a drink at this table, and replace the wine with tea if you can't drink it." Lin Zheng proposed.
"Okay." "Okay." Everyone raised their glasses happily, and then chatted with each other, probably because Nan Muxi was there, everyone was a little restrained.
Soon the sun set, and the sky gradually darkened, and the prefect ordered people to light the lamps, and soon the surroundings became brightly lit.
The people who were full of food and drink began to walk in the direction of the river, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was natural to admire the moon.
"Mother, do you want to go to the moon?"
"You young people go, my mother can enjoy the moon when she goes back to the villa."
"Then I'll go back with my mother. Big brother, I originally promised to go to the moon with me, but I got up too early in the morning, so I went back with my mother first, you can accompany me to enjoy the moon, okay? Hatsuyu said and yawned.
"Sister Yunyu." Wang Xihui said, looking at Chu Yu.
"I'm really sorry, the moonlight is so beautiful today, it's a pity to miss it! You're going with everybody, aren't you? ”
Murong Yunxi finally guessed Chu Yu's intentions, and looked at Xing Xi on the side, he was a little difficult to refuse, so he agreed.
"Xing Xi, you just go with everyone, your father has to arrange someone to deal with the aftermath, I'll help him here." The prefect's wife knew that her daughter must want to go, so she persuaded her as well.
"Okay." Since my mother said it, Wang Xixi no longer shirked.
"It's a rare opportunity, everyone together, right?" Everyone Murong Yunxi said was naturally other people eating at the same table.
"Okay." Nan Muyi responded the fastest, and Nan Muxi and Lin Zheng also nodded and did not refuse.
Saying goodbye to everyone, Chu Yu was happy, followed the old lady back to Murong Villa, and sat quietly in the courtyard to watch the moon.
"Yunyu, why don't you follow Yunxi and them?"
"Mother, what do you think of how you look?"
The old lady suddenly realized. "You girl, that's the idea."
"I think it's very good, but what, my mother must be much more accurate than Yun Yu, what does my mother think?"
"It's definitely a good girl, but it also has to be fate."
"Well, I know, I just want to create some opportunities for them to get along, as for whether there can be any story, it depends on fate!" Of course, Chu Yu knew that emotional matters could not be forced, and she also hoped that Murong Yunxi could fall in love freely.
"I think that Lin Gongzi still has some meaning for you."
"That mother should be able to see that I don't mean anything to him." The first words are very straightforward.
"Yes, although you don't say it, but my mother knows that you can't let it go, people, sometimes you have to be brave. Yunyu, don't you say? ”
"Well, thank you for understanding me, I will try to be brave."
The old lady looked at Chu Yu, patted her hand gently, then turned her head to look at the sky, and neither of them spoke anymore.
