That night, Ai Laohu came back after drinking again, but he smiled happily, swept away the gloom for several days, picked up the autumn colors and turned around several times. [No pop-ups. 】

"What are you crazy about, let me down, there are still people in the house," Qiu Se shouted like this, and he couldn't help but grab the man's shirt tightly for fear of falling off.

Ai Laohu stopped spinning, but still held the woman in his arms, rubbing the autumn-colored neck with his face full of stubble, "Good mother-in-law, today's handover is really thanks to you, or I will be seen as a joke by them, wait for the evening, I will thank you well at night" said and took a sip on the woman's delicate neck.

Qiu Se was blushed by his ambiguous movements and words, and struggled to get out of his arms, and found that the vanilla that was still in the house just now was long gone, and couldn't help complaining: "It's all you, and now everyone has seen a joke."

"Whoever likes to laugh laughs, what's wrong with Lao Tzu hurting his mother-in-law" Ai Laohu didn't care at all, and picked up the awkward woman again, "You should be done too, let's go, let's go to sleep"

After the night, Ai Laohu was about to fall asleep with a naked woman in his arms, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the bright moon outside the window, waking up the autumn colors of Midenden, "Mother-in-law, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, you have to prepare some gifts for others." ”

"Hmm." I don't know if I heard the autumn colors clearly, but I just answered in a daze.

Ai Laohu couldn't sleep because of something in his heart, so he simply called Qiu Cai, who had just fallen asleep, and hurriedly said before she got angry: "Mother-in-law, we probably give gifts to whoever we need to give as much money as possible."

Qiu Se rolled her eyes, lay down and covered her head directly with the quilt, and a muffled voice came out, "How do I know who to send you to ask Master Ma?"

Ma Daren Ai Laohu thought about it, and he really had to say hello to Ma Daren about this matter, so he also slept with peace of mind.

The next day, Ai Laohu really went to Master Ma to ask, but Master Ma didn't say anything, but the housekeeper who sent him out taught him what to do. But Ai Laohu, who had obtained the scriptures, was still sad and returned home early.

"Hey, what are you doing here" As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ai Laohu saw a bunch of strange things being pounded with autumn colors and vanilla, there was an iron stove about half a person high, and a large number of wooden molds, round, square, ingot-shaped, longevity peach-shaped, goldfish-shaped, large and small, each with its own characteristics, and the carving was exquisite.

"Ah" Qiu Se was startled, patted his chest, and glanced at Ai Laohu, "Why don't you make a sound, scare me a lot"

"As soon as I entered the second gate, I asked you what you were doing, but you didn't hear it." Ai Laohu said and bent down to look at the molds, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?"

"Mold, I don't know this, it's stupid"

Ai Laohu gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I know this is a mold, I am asking what kind of mold this is"

Qiu Se suddenly explained: "Oh, this is the mold for making moon cakes, isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival Vanilla said that her brother made the mold very beautiful, so he asked him to make a few, and then ordered an oven, I want to make some moon cakes to eat, hey, I'm going to go to the street to buy some materials in a while, and come back, if you have nothing to do, go with you."

"Okay." Ai Laohu nodded happily, "It just so happens that I also want to buy some mooncakes for gifts." ”

"Buy moon cakes and give gifts" Qiu Cai looked at him puzzled.

Ai Laohu nodded and explained: "I went to Master Ma's house in the morning, and the housekeeper told me that noon is not the New Year's Day, and generally only need to send two boxes of home-made mooncakes."

"I'll start doing it tomorrow, what else are you going to buy?"

"Well, I'd better buy two boxes, and it doesn't cost much." Ai Laohu thought to himself, Qiu Niang's cooking is very delicious, but it may not be necessary to make moon cakes, and this is still for colleagues and adults, in case it is not done well, it will not be a shame

Qiu Se glanced at him twice, understood what the man was worried about, and twisted his head with a cold snort, "If you don't need it, you don't need it, then you don't eat it if I make it."

Ai Laohu smiled and hurriedly diverted the topic, "Aren't you going to the street, hurry up and go, it'll be dark for a while." ”

So, Autumn changed her clothes and took Ma'an and Vanilla to the street with Ai Laohu.

First led by Ma An to the best pastry shop in Qingchuan Mansion Piao Xiang Zhai to see the moon cakes, it was really the best, the price was also the highest, a box of the best moon cakes cost one or two eight dollars of silver, but there were only five moon cakes in it.

"Master, this moon cake is made of last year's pickled plum blossoms, not only loose and smooth, fragrant and oily, but also the fragrance of plum blossoms, and this outer box is also carved from good jujube wood, which is the most suitable for gifts." The guy in the store is not only very energetic, but also very articulate.

Ai Laohu hesitated slightly, if you buy such an expensive mooncake, two boxes for a family, the adults who must be sent by the entire government will have twelve boxes, plus other important staff, masters, etc., if you don't have thirty or forty taels of silver, you can't get it down at all, knowing this amount, Ai Laohu, who has always cared not much about money, took a breath of cold air, but this is also a helpless thing, gritted his teeth, "Then give it to me"

"Wait a minute." Qiu Se was in a hurry, held down Ai Laohu, who wanted to buy it, frowned and said to the guy: "Your moon cakes are too expensive, buy this gift, my family will have to drink the northwest wind in the second half of the year, you give me cheaper, eight dollars of silver." ”

The young man was stunned, the people who came to Piaoxiangzhai to buy pastries had never bargained, and the other guests around him also looked at the autumn color with strange faces.

Ai Laohu's face turned red, and he pulled the autumn color, "What are you mother-in-law talking about, this is only a few silver, man, bring me twenty boxes"

"Okay" The guy saw that the guest opened his mouth, and the opportunity could not be missed, so Liyou responded to it, beckoned another guy to help take the moon cakes, and said to Ai Laohu: "Master, a total of thirty-six taels of silver." ”

Qiu Se wanted to help bargain, but he didn't want to be disgusted, his face was red and his neck was thick, he stomped his feet and twisted out of the pastry shop and walked alone with vanilla.

When Ai Laohu went out and didn't see the autumn color, he asked Ma An, who was waiting on the side, "What about Madame?"

Ma An pointed back, "Madame went over there with vanilla to buy something"

When Ai Laohu raised his eyes, he couldn't see anyone anymore, and it happened that the guy in the store came out to deliver moon cakes, and smiled at himself, thinking that he had also heard Ma An's words just now, and he was angry for a while, and said, "Leave her alone, go home with moon cakes"

"Ah" Ma An looked at Ai Laohu and looked in the direction of Qiu Color's departure, and didn't understand why the two of them, who were fine when they came, had an awkward quarrel in a blink of an eye.

"Hurry up." Ai Laohu urged Ma An to help the guys pack the mooncakes together and drive home.

On the other side, she felt a little tired after walking for a while, she stayed at home every day, even if she went out, she had a car, she hadn't walked so far by herself for a long time, and she was still facing such a hot sun.

"Madam, why don't we go back to the master, if you can't see the lady, the master will be worried." Vanilla followed closely behind Autumn Color, and when she saw Autumn Color's tired and panting, she persuaded her on the side.

The autumn color was really tired, and there was no grocery store in the direction she was walking, so she went back to the location of the pastry shop just now with the persuasion of vanilla, but when she arrived at the place, there was no shadow of Ai Laohu and Ma An at all.

"This, the master may have gone to pick up his wife and went to the two forks." Vanilla said this and even she didn't believe it,

"Hmph" Qiu Se snorted coldly, "There is only one way to go, Ma An also saw which way we went, he was obviously angry with me"

"The master should not be such a stingy person, right" Vanilla pulled her hair, she didn't have much contact with Ai Laohu, but she felt that the master should be a very good person, although he was fierce, but he never lost his temper with anyone in the family, even his wife was not angry when he beat him

"You're angry that I'm not going home yet" Autumn Colors grabbed the vanilla, "Let's go, let's go down to the restaurant"

"Ah," Vanilla was a little drumming in her heart, "Madam, let's go home, the master will be angry." ”

Autumn eyes glared at the waist, "He's angry, I'm still angry" After speaking, he pulled the vanilla and walked forward.

"Mrs. Ai, Mrs. Ai"

I didn't take two steps before I heard someone shouting autumn colors behind me, and Vanilla hurriedly said, "Madam, it's the master who doesn't worry about letting people come to you."

Autumn color slowed down slightly, and when someone caught up with him, he found that it was a little girl ring who was a little familiar.

Vanilla remembered the other party and greeted with a smile, "Sister Xiaoluo." ”

Xiao Luo gasped twice, and looked at the autumn color, "Mrs. Ai, my lady wants to invite you upstairs to talk." ”

"Your lady" Qiu Se looked curiously in the direction pointed by Xiao Luo, and found that there was a woman in a beautiful dress on the second floor diagonally opposite who was waving her hand at her, but after a closer look, it was Du Niangzi.

"Okay, lead the way." Qiu Se really wanted to find a place to rest, so she followed Xiao Luo, and Vanilla stomped her feet behind her.

"Mrs. Ai has a big belly, why didn't she go out with her family" Du Niangzi specially went to the door to pick up Qiu Se into the room, and poured her a cup of hot tea, "Seeing that you are sweating when you are hot, drink some water." ”

Autumn sat down on the chair unceremoniously, blew on the teacup, and then drank the water in the cup in one go.

"Don't worry, I'll pour it to Mrs. Ai again." Du Niangzi held on to the teapot and stood in front of the autumn color and did not move.

"You don't have to hey" Qiu Cai, who just wanted to say that you don't have to be polite, suddenly widened her eyes, looked at Du Niangzi in front of her in surprise, and pointed at her speechlessly, "You, you, this"

Du Niangzi handed the teapot to Xiao Luo, and turned around proudly in front of Qiu Color, "How about it, it's not bad, Yun Xiangge's extraordinary embroidery skills plus Madame's unique design, this set of clothes is really good, do you know that many people have already ordered this set of clothes from Yun Xiangge, madam, you are really my big lucky star."

Autumn color asked a little unthinkingly, "What about my set?"
