After Wu Yuan and his entourage returned to Wu's house, the subordinates hurriedly and carefully helped the drunk three people back to the West Courtyard, Wu Yongkang was helped into the house when he suddenly turned around and smiled and pulled Zhou Biao to drink, Zhou Biao opened his eyes in a daze and muttered, "One day let you drink enough!" You can't imagine it! Let you underestimate me!! He burst out laughing.

"It's a hi bar!! Wu Yongan dragged Zhou Biao vigorously and shouted loudly, full of alcohol.

Wu Yuan saw that the three of them had started to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to help them in to rest.

Cui's kneeling in the Buddha hall came back and happened to see the drunken three, and hurriedly called the mother-in-law to boil the sobering soup and poured it down for the three of them.

Wu Yuan saw that the second aunt took care of the brothers, so he gave a gift, asked Chun Tao to hand a brocade to Mama Cui, and sent Lilac to give the brocade to the old lady and the third lady, and then walked back to the middle courtyard quickly.

Wu Yuan called someone to carry water into the house, put a large handful of rose petals and soaked them in a wooden barrel for a while, and changed his clothes that were stained with wine, which made him feel much refreshed.

The maid brought the smoked cage, Chun Tao put the clothes that Wu Yuan went to Sanfutang to change at night on the smoker cage and smoked incense, tiptoed into the inner room, and saw that Wu Yuan was already asleep, so he sent the maids out lightly.

Wu Yuan took a nap, and seeing that it was almost time to go to Sanfutang, Yuzhu called softly outside: "Miss, it's time to get up, I have to go to Sanfutang at night." ”

Wu Yuan woke up lazily, while eating some snacks, while waiting for the curly hair by Chun Tao, Chun Tao combed Wu Yuan with a flying fairy bun, and also obliquely inserted a gold wire inlaid gem jade rabbit title fairy grass hairpin, which was a little more lively and cute.

After taking the hot handkerchief handed by Yuzhu and putting it on his face, Wu Yuan was about to go out after changing into a lavender floor-length skirt, but he was stopped by Chun Tao as soon as he walked outside, "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and Miss is much older, it's not too late to apply some powder and go out again." ”

Wu Yuan hurriedly pushed back, and Yuzhu also stepped forward to help Wu Yuan sit in front of the dresser, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Miss Yijin is still three years younger than you, and she is already using rouge, Miss, you should have dressed up a long time ago." ”

Wu Yuan had to sit down patiently, let Chun Tao dress up, only to see Chun Tao open the pear blossom wood dressing box, set up the lapis lazuli inlaid throne copper mirror frame, push open the small drawers on both sides, take out the makeup powder on Wu Yuan's face and pounce gently, the makeup powder in this small box is made of Taihu Lake freshwater pearls finely ground, or when my uncle went to the merchant to buy it back and give it to his mother, it is worth a thousand gold, it is a special offer for the palace.

Wu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the person in the mirror carefully, sure enough, he was much fairer, and his complexion became moist and bright, Chun Tao smiled and painted Wu Yuan's green eyebrows, slender and light, and finally Chun Tao took out the lip grease and gently applied it to Wu Yuan's lips, Wu Yuan was about to tilt his head and refuse when he saw this, but Chun Tao was quick with his hands and eyes, and he had already applied it with a gentle and quick wipe.

When he arrived at Sanfu Hall, Wu Yuan respectfully blessed his body to greet the old lady, and the old lady happily asked Mama Zhu to help Wu Yuan get up, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to have this filial piety, I saw that brocade, the brocade of Fu Lu Shou dark cloud pattern is very suitable for me." ”

"If Grandmother likes it, it's fine." Wu Yuan stood aside with his hands down and said respectfully.

After a while, everyone arrived, and the third aunt came and took Wu Yuan's hand and praised it in front of everyone, saying that Wu Yuan's face was crimson.

Mama Zhu has already set up the offering table, there is a red sandalwood disc in the middle of the table, and the ruler-length round moon cake used to worship the moon is placed on the plate.

After the worship, Chun Tao helped Wu Yuan to get up, back to the main hall, the family banquet has been prepared, the second master got up first and led everyone to pay respects to the old lady, Ankang and longevity, the old lady smiled and took a sip of osmanthus wine, and everyone sat down one after another.

Wu Yongan and the Yongkang brothers sobered up a lot, and thanked Wu Yuan with a smile: "Thanks to my sister, otherwise my brothers would have to look foreign outside." ”

"What did my brother say, when the students meet, they naturally drink and compose poems, but my sister is very envious, I don't know if the brothers are writing poems today, who came out on top?" Wu Yuan said with a smile.

Wu Yongan smiled, and before he could speak, he heard the second brother Wu Yongkang say loudly: "Who else can there be!" Of course, it's our Yangzhou genius Brother Chen! ”

Wu Yijin hurriedly came over and asked in a low voice, "Didn't Cousin Zhou compose poems?" ”

Wu Yongkang glanced at Zhou Biao, deliberately raised his voice and said in a weird manner: "Of course Brother Zhou has written poetry, but 。。。。。。 The students present have consistently selected Brother Chen's poems as the best. I heard that Brother Chen is going to go on a scientific expedition next month,"

Wu Yongkang paused and asked Zhou Biao: "Brother Zhou, do you think Brother Chen can enter the top of the red list?" ”

Zhou Biao's face was a little bad, coughed, and said: "Brother Chen is erudite and knowledgeable, and he worships under Mr. Tao Fu, so he can naturally be on the red list, but he is not an examiner, so he doesn't dare to speculate." ”

Wu Yongan saw that the second brother was embarrassed by Zhou Biao again, and secretly pulled Yongkang, Wu Yongkang glanced at Zhou Biao and said: "What Brother Zhou said is that the younger brother is offended, and the younger brother respects Brother Zhou with a glass of wine." ”

After saying that, Wu Yongkang drank it all, Zhou Biao had to drink hard, and he only woke up after drinking at noon.

Wu Zhonghe coughed lightly and said, "Yongkang, your cousin of the Zhou family is going to Guangling Academy tomorrow to meet Mr., don't mess around." ”

Wu Yongan was about to collide when he heard this, but Cui Shi hurriedly sandwiched a small piece of camphor tea duck in Wu Yongan's saucer, signaling Wu Yongan not to cause trouble, and Wu Yongan sat down.

At this time, Steward Zhu walked quickly to the main hall and said with a smile: "Old lady, someone from Qiongzhou is here!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Yuan stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the outside.

Steward Zhu led a dusty man in, and the man said respectfully: "The villain hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the fifteenth, and the shopkeeper Zhu ordered the villain to give the old lady a gift for the old lady." ”

After speaking, I saw that the next person brought a heavy box, which was full of shells and pearls, and one of the big red coral was the most eye-catching.

The man carefully took out the red coral, and said respectfully: "This is what the uncle specially asked the villain to give to the old lady." ”

Mama Zhu hurriedly took the red coral and put it on the red sandalwood round table, the old lady's eyes were a little moist, "The boss has a heart, good, good." Is the uncle still in Qiongzhou? How's Grandma? ”

"Uncle said that he is all right, please don't worry about the old lady, the eldest grandmother takes care of the uncle every day, and the uncle can already get up and walk a few steps in the yard." The guy said respectfully.

The old lady hurriedly instructed Mama Zhu to give the guy a reward for ingots, but the guy refused and didn't dare to accept it, "When I came, the uncle had already rewarded the villain, and I didn't dare to accept the lady's reward again." ”

"It's a big holiday, you haven't gone home to see it yet, take it, buy some things and go home for a good holiday."

The man gratefully accepted the reward, kowtowed to the old lady, and was taken out by Steward Zhu.

Wu Yuan saw that his father and mother didn't bring a word to him, so he couldn't help but feel a little lost and sat down lonely.

After the old lady distributed all the things in the box to each room, she saw Wu Yuan sitting silently, holding Wu Yuan's hand, and said softly: "Yuan Niang misses her parents?" ”

Wu Yuan fell into tears when he heard this, the old lady took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently, patted Wu Yuan's hand and said, "Good boy, you still shed tears, your father and mother must remember you." ”

Wu Yuan nodded, sat down absentmindedly, and finally stayed up to finish dinner.
