When it was dark, Li You commanded the servants to set up offerings, tables and chairs in the courtyard, and put a lot of cakes, melons, fruits, wine, and other kinds of food and drink.

The wives and concubines of the family came back one after another, and they all gathered in the courtyard to admire the moon at this time. When the moon came out, all the women were in front of the confession, facing the direction of the rising moon and worshipping silently, and the man Li You could only sit and watch. After that, it is time to eat the mooncakes.

Master Li thought that women in this era worship the moon, which is nothing more than praying for marrying a good man and having a good son, which is a good topic, which can be used to tease the little ladies. Then he said, "How did you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?" Did the moon prayer work? ”

After saying that, he nodded to his wife first, you can't speak, just listen. I went to see Jin Bao'er again, only to see her begging: "Can the slave family not say it?" ”

It's my own mistake, "It's okay not to mention the past." Li You said with relief, and looked at Guan Xiuxiu again.

"The concubine is settling accounts." Guan Xiuxiu replied very neatly.

Li Youqi said: "What is the account on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival? ”

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is the gateway for merchants to settle their accounts and debts every year, don't you know?"

After a circle, none of the three wives and concubines could tease, and Li You unwillingly asked Xiaozhu on the other small table: "What about you?" ”

"The slave family prayed for his father's recovery." Xiaozhu's face darkened.

Asked her about her sadness again, Li You gradually felt that the topic he initiated was really a failure, and pointed to the plum branch next to Xiaozhu without hope and said, "You! ”

"The little maid prays for the master."

Sure enough, I knew that you, a die-hard servant girl, would definitely have to pray for your young lady, and Li You still couldn't answer the phone and tease.

Guan Xiuxiu's maidservant Lu Shui saw that others had said it, so she also interjected: "The slave family prays that he can marry a good husband." ”

This answer is very much in line with Li You's expectations. It's a pity that the person who answered has a mediocre appearance, so that a certain master has no flirtatious **.

In the end, Li You was faintly disappointed.

At this time, across the garden and the courtyard wall, a melodious flute came from the neighbor's side, which was very like turning and listening. Looking at the bright moon in the sky in this clear sound of silk and bamboo that penetrated the space, everyone was silent for a while. Even if the education level of Li You's wives and concubines is not high, at least they are literate and hyphenated, and they know how not to disturb the scenery.

After a while, the flute stopped, and Li You smiled and said, "The sister next door is good at singing the wind and the moon." ”

Guan Xiuxiu couldn't help asking: "I heard that she became your female apprentice after a spring breeze?" ”

It's okay to mention what other women are doing, Li You was a little embarrassed and said: "There is no shadow, and the apprentice is only in name." Suddenly, she saw Jin Bao'er looking down and laughing, and asked, "Why are you laughing?" ”

Jin Bao'er replied: "Master, Miss Huan can't play the flute, only the eldest sister next door can." ”

"You're not kidding? Why didn't I see it? Li You couldn't believe it, he had seen Sister Li Mei so many times, and he never felt that she seemed to be able to play musical instruments.

This is Li You's negligence, Sister Li Mei, a famous writer who used to be at the top of the flower list, even if she has no culture and can't recognize a few words, let alone chant poems and lyrics, but at least she learns one or two musical instruments, and can sing some mountain songs, which is a kind of professional quality and basic kung fu, even Jin Baoer can play the pipa.

But I heard Mei Zhi on the small table next to her sarcastically say: "When the master sees her, where can he afford to think of this, I'm afraid it's just a meat matter." As it was this afternoon. ”

This bit of spread really fast, and your mouth is really cheap, don t think that you can be arrogant if you can be arrogant if you can be convex by the master and me for the main house, Li You glared at him fiercely. Next to her, Mrs. Liu hurriedly pulled her husband's sleeve and pointed to the moon in the sky.

However, unexpectedly, Mei Zhi's words detonated the atmosphere. Since then, the scene has become as lively as Master Li hoped, but some of them called him mixed, how can he be embarrassed.

In order to thoroughly study her husband, Aunt Guan, who had heard a little about Li You's rhymes but didn't know very well, took the initiative to put down her body and went to Aunt Jin, who was familiar with gossip and allusions, to talk about her husband's long-term scandal with the Li sisters, and extended to Li You's various rumors and details in the party. What sisters are accompanied, what are the ten girls of the night, and what stories have to be told with the top three on the flower list.

Here, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but leave her husband and leaned over, blushing when she heard it, and from time to time she took a pen and wrote a note and handed it to Aunt Jin to ask some questions.

With the master taking the lead, the three maidservants also had the courage to quietly talk about the affairs of the master's afternoon, and soon it also extended unlimitedly, and the main speaker was Xiaozhu, who had followed Li You for the longest time.

Master Li, who became the focus of the family this night, sighed in disappointment again in his heart, the tutor of our small family is really not good, from top to bottom, there are so blatantly no rules, and they all regard the master as something. Helplessly, the law does not blame the public, and it is not good to ruin the fun in this section. I had to put on a shelf and say: "Tonight's holiday, indulge and wait, don't take it as an example." ”

Aunt Guan, who had a little experience, suddenly turned around and asked, "What is the difference between my husband at home and outside?" Which is true and which is false? ”

Li You replied sincerely: "Actually, I am an actor. ”

What is an actor? Smart as Guan Xiuxiu didn't figure it out, and continued to talk to Jin Bao'er.

Originally, the Li family planned to travel at night to "walk the moon", and they also prepared a number of soldiers to escort them. However, the interest of the women was high, and they didn't want to go out, and Li You's desire to observe the grand occasion of the women's outings in the city up close was not fulfilled, and he was disappointed for the third time.

Later, he moved chess and cards, and gambled chess and cards under the full moon. A certain old man looked at the number of bets placed by his wives and concubines, and took the initiative to retreat, but he couldn't pull his face to gamble with his maidservants.

Is it so easy to be the head of the family? The money he worked so hard to earn, in addition to his own use, also has to be used for various expenses of the family, in professional terms, it is called the public property of the mansion, which is the right of Master Li. but the private property in the name of the wife and concubine belongs to each of them for his own use. So far, Master Li still doesn't have as much money as his wives and concubines.

At the halfway point of the fourth watch, the family gathering in the hospital was dispersed.

The sky was slightly bright, Li You went out of the house to Beiguan Wharf, tonight he was going to Gusu Huqiu to participate in the party held by Zhao Daguan, and the opportunity to be famous should be cherished. The boat ride is expected to take one day, so you have to leave early in the morning to get there in time. He used the inspection ship, and Yao Xing'er, who was the top of the county's flower list, came earlier and was already waiting for him on the boat.

There are three cabins on the ship, Li You instructed the boatman to start the boat, and then went into the middle cabin and fell asleep, Yao Xing'er estimated that he didn't sleep last night, and led the accompanying maid to the rear cabin to rest.

There was no word all the way, and he got off the boat at the nearest pier before dark, and walked for another quarter of an hour before he arrived at the gate of Huqiu Mountain, and then Li Mingshi was shocked.

But I saw that the mountain here was full of tourists, laughter and hustle and bustle, as if in the downtown area, as for the shouting of the voice, not to mention. Li Mingshi, who was unprepared for this, was dumbfounded, and the contrast with the quiet and elegant scene of the bright moon in his imagination was too great, how could it be like this, some things were really prepared in vain.

It is said that on the night of August 16, Zhao Daguan invited friends to gather in Tiger Hill to admire the moon. For this reason, it avoided the scenic spots with many tourists, circled a slightly secluded place with spring water under the cliff, and arranged house slaves around, and strictly ordered that idlers should not be allowed to approach within 100 steps. Although it can't completely isolate the noise, it can barely make its own world.

Seeing that the twilight was over, ten guests had already arrived, each sitting on the ground, and some others were probably unable to arrive. However, I didn't see the most romantic and interesting Mr. Li, which made Zhao Daguan a little regretful, and he was thinking about drinking wine.

Suddenly, a long figure flashed under the torch at the corner of the cliff, a green shirt and a small scarf, simple and sparse, Shi Shiran approached on foot, who is it not Li You.

There is a scholar surnamed He next to Zhao Daguan who saw Li You in Huachuan last time, his surname jumped out of looking left and right, and when he saw Li You, he waved his arm and called: "Li Tanhua Mr. Li!" Don't come unharmed! It's just long overdue. ”

Others in the field have been in contact with each other for many years and know each other, but they have never seen Li You, but they have all heard that Li You has been on the flower boat after reading Yan Ji and turning a glass of wine into a poem. Hearing He Shizi's call, they all went to see it, only to see that this person was handsome and free, and he applauded in his heart first, and he did have the appearance of indulging in flowers.

Insert a sentence, things gather people in groups, and the characters who can get together with Zhao Daguan are not righteous and corrupt, otherwise they would not envy Li You's affair.

Li You arched his hand far away and said: "I have seen Brother He, I have seen Zhao Daguan, I am late on the next road, and I am guilty of sin." ”

Zhao Daguan was about to open his mouth to ask Li You to take a seat, but he saw Mr. Li turn around and shouted to the back: "It's such a grind, don't catch up quickly!" ”

Why did you bring someone with you? When Zhao Daguan was puzzled, a beautiful and beautiful woman flashed around the corner, and people couldn't help but pity the secret love, but two or three of the people recognized that this was Yao Xing'er, the chief of Xujiang County.

However, this beauty was panting at the moment, her face was stained with sweat, and her hair was slightly scattered. Because she was holding something, when she looked closely, it was four rough wine jars tied up with hemp rope and carried in Yao Xing'er's two small hands. The weight of things didn't seem to be light, and Yao Xing'er staggered tiredly.

Li You urged impatiently: "Hurry up! ”

Yao Xing was so angry that he almost gritted his silver teeth, and he couldn't wait to smash the wine jar into Li You's face. But if you say it first, you can only do it aggrievedly.

Everyone was dazzled, this Mr. Li is too unsympathetic, how can he ask a delicate beauty to do such a stupid job, after asking each other in a few words, I heard that it is still a name such as the Oiran of Xujiang, which is even more tyrannical, how can it be abused like this.

Li You took Yao Xing'er to Zhao Daguan and said hello.

Zhao Daguan really felt weird, so he asked, "Why did Mr. Li ask the beauty to do this peddler's business?" ”

Li You sighed lightly, and said very indifferently and calmly: "The house slaves are lazy, and they refuse one by one when they hear that they are far away. casually called this Yao Xing'er to carry things, although he was diligent, but he was not very useful. ”

Everyone in the venue was in an uproar, looking at this tone, they could casually call an Oiran level name to follow the rough work willingly, what a chic and elegant style. It is pretended, and it is also pretended to be a new realm, a new level, and a new height, which can be described as a precedent tonight. Aren't all kinds of celebrities and celebrities more creative than who pretends to be?

Yao Xing'er has soft legs and soft feet, and has already scolded Li You's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, and he really regrets that he wants to follow Li You over, and he promised to do everything according to Li You's arrangement. Who would have thought that he could abuse a woman so badly, and tell her how to fish for a golden beetle son-in-law with such an image.
