Steward Qian is thirty-five or sixteen years old, his figure is a little fat, and he has a smile on his face, but it gives people a kind feeling.

He bowed respectfully to Tang Yanning, saying that there was a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the front hall tonight, and every young lady would go to participate.

Tang Yanning smiled and said that he knew, and glanced at Shuang'er again, Shuang'er immediately understood, took out a heavy pack of silver bills from his cuffs and handed it to the money housekeeper.

Steward Qian excused himself twice, then half-pushed and half-stuffed into the cuffs, smiled and said thank you for the reward, and went out with the two little guys behind him.

As soon as Shuang'er entered the house, she couldn't wait to open the food box, looked at the delicate and small moon cakes inside, and sighed: "Wow, Miss, this moon cake is so exquisite, the moon cakes sent by the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past are not so exquisite, and the treatment is really different." ”

In previous years, the moon cakes sent by the Mid-Autumn Festival were in average condition, and they were no different from those eaten by the next people.

She also took a look at the moon cakes in the food box, which were crystal clear and jade, small and exquisite, and when she opened the food box, she came to her face with a faint sweetness, which really made people appetizing.

Seeing that Shuang'er's eyes were about to light up, she smiled: "You can eat if you want, what do you look at like this." ”

Shuang'er has always preferred to eat sweet pastries.

With Miss's permission, she immediately pinched one unceremoniously, the moon cake was small, you could swallow one in one bite, her two cheeks were bulging, her eyes were amazing, and she said vaguely: "Miss, this red bean flavor is delicious, sweet but not greasy, you can also taste it." ”

As he spoke, he picked one up and handed it to the young lady.

Tang Yanning had just finished breakfast at the moment, and he didn't feel hungry, so he smiled and excused himself, saying that he would eat again later.

There were a total of three cages of moon cakes, one cage of six, Tang Yanning left one cage, and let Shuang'er take the rest to share with the maids in the courtyard.

She sat at the table and looked at the delicate mooncakes in front of her and contemplated.

Thinking of the expressions of the two cousins before, she always felt that something would happen faintly tonight, and it would be about herself.

If she could, she really wanted to call her illness and not avoid this family feast.

"What? So are mooncakes poisonous? You look at them with such bitterness and hatred. ”

There was a teasing voice from the gentleman in the room.

Tang Yanning pulled a far-fetched smile: "It's not poisonous, I'm just thinking about things," and asked again: "Mr. want to taste a piece?" I heard Shuang'er say that it tastes good. ”

Gu Huaisheng shook his head, "No, most of the moon cakes are dry, and you have to drink water after eating them." ”

Remembering that she had just asked her family to drink less water, she looked pale, pinched a piece herself, and was about to put it into her mouth, Gu Huaisheng suddenly reminded: "You are so relieved, this moon cake is not poisonous?" ”

Tang Yanning's small mouth of the cherry that had just opened closed again, put down the moon cake, and said, "Even if someone wants to harm me, they shouldn't choose such a stupid way to poison the moon cake openly." ”

Having said that, she turned around and took a silver needle and poked it a few times on the mooncake.

The color of the silver needle was still the same, not blackened, her heart was relieved, and she secretly said that she had thought too much.

Gu Huaisheng looked at her uncertain expression, but still reminded, "Some poisons can't be detected by silver needles." ”

Tang Yanning thought of the two cousins of the Wen family again, and those fiery eyes would not be poisoned if they wanted to be poisoned, but would only be poisoned.

She nodded in agreement and threw the poked mooncake into the spittoon.

Gu Huaisheng said: "You don't want to go to the family banquet? ”

"Well, I don't want to."

"Why?"

Tang Yanning sighed softly, "There are people you don't like, look at me with dislike eyes." ”

In just a few words, Gu Huaisheng still keenly felt that the person she didn't like should be a man, and the eldest and second ladies in the prime minister's mansion didn't want to see her, she still stayed until now, only the eyes of the opposite sex made her feel disliked.

Seeing that Mr. was speechless, Tang Yanning took the wedding dress again and began to embroider it, but it was obviously not as focused as before.

~~

The sky is getting late, the lights are on, and the whole Xiangfu is full of festive festivities.

The corners of the corridor are all hung with red lights, and the Xiangfu is bright.

Tang Yanning changed into a flower-sprinkled cigarette shirt, and used a two-inch pear-white printed wide belt around his waist, which made his waist more and more slender.

She walked lightly, her clothes fluttered, and when she walked into the front hall, everyone in the front hall was stunned, beautiful, really beautiful......

Like a fairy under the moon, smart and elegant......

At this time, almost all the people have arrived, and even Aunt Du is present.

She raised her chin slightly, folded her hands, maintained a just right smile, and softly greeted her father Wen and her aunt one by one, and her movements and language were all inappropriate, and she even felt very familiar and natural, as if she had done it a thousand times.

A trace of pity flashed in Tang Heng's eyes, it would be nice if such a beautiful daughter were a concubine.

Tang Yanqing looked at Tang Yanning, who was sitting quietly, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, how could a concubine who was once timid become more and more virtuous and noble, faintly overshadowing her posture.

In fact, it was not only Tang Yanqing who was dissatisfied, but also Tang Yanyu next to her, the handkerchief in her hand was tightly clenched, and she was sarcastic in her heart, after today, Tang Yanning would never be like this again.

The table is rectangular and has seating in order. Tang Yanqing sat next to Wen's, and in turn it was Tang Yanyu, she, and Tang Yanqun, and the aunts were in the back row, Aunt Du, and Aunt Song.

Tang Heng sat on the main seat, and opposite the Wen family sat Aunt Yun, and next to it were also the seats of the eldest cousin and the second cousin in order.

Tang Yanning had just sat down, and the Wen brothers had also arrived, and they were all stunned when they saw Tang Yanning, but they quickly reacted.

Wen Ziqian still looks like a humble gentleman, like Tang Heng bowed and said a few auspicious blessings, Tang Heng smiled, picked up the red seal that had been prepared and handed it out, Wen Zijie next to him saw that the eldest brother got the red envelope, and immediately said a few words of blessing, Tang Heng also smiled and handed over a red seal.

Tang Yun on the side was still joking, "It's such a big person, what does my brother do and give them red envelopes." ”

Tang Heng said with a smile: "It's a holiday, it's just happy, the two nephews don't come much on weekdays, so they should be given." After speaking, he handed out the four red envelopes that were still in hand and distributed them to his four daughters in turn.

The four of them stood up and thanked each other.

Tang Heng smiled and signaled: "Sit down, today's festival, no need to be formal, just be casual." ”

After greeting each other on his face, Tang Heng straightened his face and announced one thing, the search of the soldiers who came in the mansion yesterday was because His Royal Highness King Liang had been robbed in the mansion and lost a beloved antique, so he searched in the middle of the night regardless of etiquette, and heard that His Royal Highness King Liang had found the lost thing, and this matter should be over, and it was not allowed to be mentioned outside in the future.

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.

Tang Heng sat down and motioned for the banquet to open.

The maids rushed in and soon put on the delicacies that had been prepared.

Today's dishes are very rich, but Tang Yanning has no appetite at all, because Wen Zijie has glanced at her no less than ten times since the banquet, and no matter how good his appetite is, he has been lost.

The banquet was thick, and Wen said with a smile: "It's rare for a family to get together today, Chuncao, you go and bring the two jars of apricot blossom brew that the emperor rewarded some time ago, and everyone can taste it together." ”
