Chapter 135: Mid-Autumn Festival
Yuan Quanquan was teasing the little zombie, deliberately lifting his gourd high so that he couldn't reach it, watching him smash his feet hard but still couldn't reach the way he screamed in a hurry, and the bad taste was greatly satisfied.
At first glance, when I heard the thank you from Xue Doudou, I was a little stunned.
"Quanhuan, thank you for being so kind to me."
Yuan Quanquan probably understood why she suddenly said this to her, and put the little gourd in the center of the table - Yuan Xiaobao's little short hand was out of reach, and pulled Xue Doudou's hand, "I also want to thank you!" ”
Xue Doudou was puzzled, and Yuan Quanquan explained with a smile: "I don't know each other here, and I don't have any friends, you are willing to be friends with me, and I am very grateful to you." ”
Unfamiliar with life? Isn't Huanhuan the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who has lived in the capital since she was a child, how can she say that she is not familiar with this place?
Puzzled in her heart, Xue Doudou didn't understand why Yuan Quanquan said this, but she didn't think about it, thinking that she was an ordinary person with no power and no power, and one day she could actually become friends with Princess Ming, and she felt that God favored her very much.
Yuan Xiaobao couldn't reach the gourd, so he climbed up the stone bench to reach it.
finally got his beloved gourd and the crickets inside, and protected him in his arms like a baby, for fear that his unreliable old lady would snatch it away from him again.
After staying in the garden for a while, Yuan Quanquan was called away by the housekeeper because of something, and Xue Doudou stayed here to continue to play with Yuan Xiaobao.
Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion, family happy days. The sun stayed in the sky for a day, and after setting the western mountains, the moon quickly took its place.
The moon hung in the night sky like a silver plate, and the silver light sprinkled with a layer of hoarfrost spread over the world. At this time, the lights of thousands of homes in the capital are even more lively as daytime.
In the palace of King Ming, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet has begun.
Because the weather was fine and the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, the family banquet was set up in the courtyard. With the breeze and the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, everyone in the Mingwang Mansion gathered in the courtyard, waiting for the banquet to begin.
Yuan Quanquan walked beside the meditation cultivator, followed him and the concubine to attend. This is the first time in her life that she has spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with her family, which is very fresh, very exciting, and at the same time a little excited.
Because she did it all by herself!
In the small square pavilion in the courtyard, a table was set up, and the concubine took the lead in sitting, and the meditation and the Yuan circle sat down next to each other. The little zombie Yuan Xiaobao is the concubine's treasure, so he naturally sits beside her.
And others, like Li Changning and their friend Xue Doudou, who was specially invited by the Yuan Circle, all sat in a small seat outside the pavilion, with two tables on the left and right, Xue Doudou and Zhou Xiaoting sat next to each other, and Li Changning and Bai Yiyi were opposite them.
For the guest of Xue Doudou, before the Yuan Circle had time to introduce it to everyone, the people in the house had already seen it in the afternoon, and many people were secretly speculating whether she would be the concubine that the prince was preparing for Xinna.
Li Changning sat diagonally opposite Xue Doudou, heard the discussion of the people behind him, and looked at the other party quietly.
looks quite delicate, and her size is okay, but at a glance she knows that she is a wild girl from the countryside, not a young lady from a big family, and she doesn't have the temperament of a young lady at all. How could the prince fall in love with such a girl?
Li Changning sneered in his heart, but he was quiet on the surface and didn't show anything. He looked the other party up and down for a moment before retracting his gaze.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and our palace has more hostesses and a little prince this year, which is much more lively than usual. A few months ago, Xiu'er suffered a sudden accident, and God favored us, so that our mother and son were not separated, and they can still be reunited today, and the mourning family is very gratified. The concubine stood up from her seat, looked at the people in the mansion under the pavilion, turned her eyes around and finally fell on Yuan Quanquan, "Huanhuan is the benefactor of my Mingwangfu, and now she is the princess of my Mingwangfu, if it weren't for her, we would definitely not be able to survive the Mid-Autumn Festival today." ”
I couldn't help but be grateful to the concubine in front of everyone like this, and the Yuan Circle was very empty, and quietly glanced at the skeleton ghost next to him, but this ghost had a skeleton all over his body, and he couldn't see what his expression was at the moment.
Pulling the corners of his mouth and smiling weakly, it is difficult to say whether the Yuan Circle is a benefactor to the Ming Wangfu or not, but for the meditation himself, she is indeed his great benefactor.
And at this moment, the meditation cultivation is Beitang Xiu, she is his benefactor, and if she rounds it off, she is equivalent to the benefactor of the Ming Palace.
Thinking about it like this, Yuan Quanquan was not empty-hearted, and accepted the concubine's thanks with peace of mind.
The concubine was in a good mood, and after saying these words with a smile, she transferred the right to speak to the Yuan Circle, as the new daughter-in-law of the Ming Palace, the hostess of the house, naturally she had to say a few words.
Yuan Quanquan was a little uncomfortable with the general atmosphere of the leader's speech, and after saying a few words casually, he jumped directly to the link of distributing "reunion cakes" to the people in the house.
The huge palace, the number of subordinates is also very considerable, Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er are in charge, and they order people to bring up the "reunion cakes" and distribute them to everyone one by one.
According to the practice of previous years, those who eat copper coins can receive a silver reward, while those who do not eat copper coins can only fight for luck in the next year.
However, this year, the concubine Xu came back to celebrate the death of the meditation cultivator, and the royal family was reunited, and she even made people wrap copper coins in every reunion cake, and everyone had a share. And this year's silver reward is five taels more than in previous years, fifteen taels per person.
But everyone was happy, and they all knelt down and thanked them.
received the silver reward, and there were moon cakes and all kinds of delicious food, and even the Yuan Circle had to sigh, sure enough, it was a relative of the emperor, and even the subordinates who worked here were treated better than ordinary people.
They received the silver from the steward one by one, and everyone was smiling and happy from the bottom of their hearts.
After receiving the reward, except for the personal rings and small servants around them, the concubine sent all the other subordinates down, and those with family members were allowed to go home to have a reunion dinner with their families, and those without family members stayed in the mansion and had a good meal in the backyard with other companions who had nowhere to go.
The big ones went back to their homes with joy and looked for their mothers.
Yuan Quanquan also wanted Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er to go home and reunite with their families, but these two girls were very stubborn, not to mention that there were younger brothers and sisters at home to accompany their parents, they wanted to accompany the princess for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Yuan Quanquan also went with them.
In this ancient society where there is no Internet, no mobile phone, no TV, and no cinema, the New Year's holidays are just eating and drinking, and there are no superfluous entertainment items at all.
The most common show is probably singing and dancing.
This is just a family banquet in the palace, and there is no need to sing and dance, but when you are admiring the moon and eating moon cakes, wouldn't it be boring not to find some fun programs?
So the question is, what are the fun programs? Who's going to perform?
So, the bloody plot came.
When Yuan Quanquan was named, he was grabbing moon cakes with Yuan Xiaobao to eat.
Because of Yuanquanquan's personal hobby, she likes to eat fruit-flavored mooncakes, so she asked the kitchen to make many fruit-flavored ones. And her favorite food is pineapple-flavored. But Cha Cha Yuan Xiaobao children's shoes also love to eat pineapple flavor.
However, among the mooncakes on their table, there were not many pineapple-flavored ones, she and Yuan Xiaobao ate one by themselves, and there was still a pineapple-flavored one left on the plate. The two of them didn't have Kong Rong's noble thoughts of respecting the old and loving the young, and they all rushed to this last one.
Eyes glued to the only pineapple-flavored mooncake left in the plate of mooncakes in the center of the table, Yuan Quanquan and Yuan Xiaobao fought with their eyes, and their eyes intersected in the air, making a sizzling sound, and sparks splashed for a while.
Then, just when she was about to grab the moon cake at the right time, the concubine's voice made her stunned, so she ......
Looking at Yuan Xiaobao's little paw holding the moon cake and smiling with a smiling face, she could only grit her teeth secretly.
The little cub is quite fast!
I've never seen a zombie with such sharp hands and feet! He's actually a fake zombie, right?
After complaining silently, Yuan Quanquan withdrew his attention from the moon cakes and looked at the concubine with a smile: "Uh, mother, what did you just say?" I didn't hear you. ”
The concubine didn't blame her, and repeated what she just said: "Fang Cai Changning said that your mother seemed to be very good at music and rhythm when she was alive, and she even had a good voice. You grew up beside your mother since you were a child, and you should have been taught by her, so you should be able to sing and play the piano, right? ”
Yuan Quanquan looked confused.
What? Singing and playing the piano? Is this the rhythm of her talent show?
No, she's a princess! Even if you want to perform, shouldn't it be a concubine performance?
Turning his head and looking at Li Changning, the other party happened to be looking at her, and as soon as the eyes of the two collided, Yuan Quanquan sensitively felt a trace of provocation from her eyes.
After more than two months of pretending, after Xu Wanrou was sent out of the house, she finally couldn't hold back, did she want to enter the house fight mode with her?
Yuan Quanquan felt that Li Changning was not as simple as she seemed on the surface, and sure enough, her intuition was not wrong.
This woman has been holding back the bad!
Chaotian rolled her eyes, and the Yuan circle guessed that this woman probably wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
But she is a Yuan circle, a dignified Yuan master, how can she be so easy to make a fool of herself? She's a cheater.
Playing the piano is a bit difficult, but singing is a piece of cake. This Lu Qingyang may indeed have inherited her mother, she was born with a good voice, her voice is crisp and pleasant, and she is as beautiful as a pearl and jade. It's just that the speech of the Yuan circle is too arrogant, which covers up the nature.
"The mourning family has never heard the circle sing, today while everyone is here, why don't you let the big guys enjoy it?"
The concubine seemed to be looking forward to it, looking at the eyes of the Yuan circle with curiosity and encouragement.
Yuan Quanquan hesitated for a moment, and glanced sideways at the skeleton beside him.
The skeleton ghost cultivator supported his skull with the five hand bones of his right hand, leaned slightly, and looked in her direction with his eyes: "This king is also very curious, and he also wants to enjoy the singing voice of the small circle." ”
…… Well, since that's the case, then she's ...... It's ugly.
Standing up from his seat, Yuan Quanquan walked to the pavilion, chose a middle position to stand, pinched his fingers at the throat position, and coughed a few times pretending to be there, and he didn't need a soundtrack, brewed for a while, and sang directly.
