The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and it is inevitable that there will be more things to arrange in the house.

After last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Qi generally understood the pomp and circumstance of Zhuangfu. The tribute in the palace is a set, the banquet in the palace is a set, the gift is a set, and the invitation is a hand...... It is divided into outside the house and inside the house. Socializing outside the house, by the old man; The Mid-Autumn Festival activities in the house are worried about by the wives. The things outside the house are nothing more than that you come to my house today to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival, and tomorrow I will go to your house to return the Mid-Autumn Festival. The wives are different, what lanterns are colorful, what are sticking to the door, what firecrackers and fireworks, what ancestral dishes, etc., all have to be discussed.

In previous years, the old lady wanted to ask one by one, but this year she didn't ask, and they hosted it, and she was left to recuperate. The lord and the ladies knew that the old lady was not in good health, and except for coming to ask for peace, they rarely mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival decoration, so as not to bother her.

On this day, the four lords came to greet him, focusing on the tribute gifts, saying that everything was in order, and it was only necessary to send them to the palace gate tomorrow morning and night.

When the old lady heard this, she was very satisfied, and said, "Only when you think with your heart can the Lord remember you with your heart." I don't have much to think about these days, and I can't help much. But I heard that there are some twists and turns in the purchase of gifts outside, and I still think, if it is not enough, you should come to me to get it, and I will find a few pieces for you to fill up. I waited and waited and waited but no one came, and I thought you had a good one, so I was relieved. ”

The second master didn't dare to hide it, and the report said: "Mother Qingming, we can't hide anything from you." Originally, I was really worried about the tribute, and the procurement was not satisfactory. Fortunately, there is a surplus in Xifu, and the county lord has offered a few things, which are very valuable, and they can show their faces in the palace. ”

The old lady said, "Oh! "It seems that there is still something to say, but before I finish speaking, I want to stop talking.

The second master hurriedly explained: "The county lord took out a few of the dowries she had brought in that year, and sent the selected ones inside. ”

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "It's all over the field." That's it, after this year, your Beifu will represent the whole government and pay a piece of silver to the Xifu. ”

The second master nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”

But the third master of Xifu shirked it and said: "They are all a family, they share the responsibility, regardless of each other, why do you need to buy and sell compensation." ”

The old lady said: "The meaning of what I have advocated over the years is the meaning of the third master." The county lord is open-minded, she doesn't care about these, it is rare that she is of noble birth, and she looks down on these vain things. There are a few people like her in our few houses, and I left with a smile, and I also saw my ancestors. ”

Several old men didn't know the meaning of the old lady's words, so they all listened attentively and said nothing.

The old lady wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I think I am extremely old." You don't need to listen to my babbling. ”

The eldest old man Zhuang Xi said: "My mother has been worried about the family all her life, and we have not been able to let my mother enjoy a day of peace, which is really our unfilial piety as children." ”

After hearing this, the old lady looked at the eldest master in a daze, and after a while, she couldn't take her eyes off the second master, laughed twice, and was speechless.

After a few old men went back after the ceremony, after a while, the wives in the four mansions came over again, and asked for a return to An, and brought the housekeeper and other stewards to come together, reporting that the Mid-Autumn Festival arrangement was stopped.

The person in charge is the second wife, Cao.

Cao said: "In recent days, my health is not very good, I can't take care of the size and thickness of previous years, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the arrangement behind the house, thanks to the help of the rest of the wives, have been placed." ”

The housekeeper and other leading people came to the old lady one by one to explain various affairs, and in ordinary times, this was a pretentious act to invite merit and receive rewards.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "You have done a good job, you don't need to tell me." I'll sit back and enjoy it, and enjoy it for nothing. ”

Cao Shi smiled: "I just knew that the old lady was not well, so I didn't come to ask the old lady for instructions." We discussed it in several houses, and we were afraid that it would not be as good as the old lady presiding, so I came to report first, hoping that the old lady would be merciful and not blame us, and also hope that the old lady would enjoy it with peace of mind tomorrow and drink happily. ”

The old lady looked at Cao Shi and said, "Open your arms to enjoy, I hope so!" "Look at the Qin family again, this scene, like the first old man came, she looked at the eldest master, and then looked at the second master. These people naturally don't understand the old lady's mind, but the old lady is thinking about them in her heart! It turned out that the old lady was mindful of the birth of a child in Dongfu and Beifu Lizhuyuan, and it was Zhuang Xuan's marriage!

Qiushui looked through it, and only the words came to his lips, and when he said it, he was afraid that they would think it was a blame. The old lady thought about it, let's not talk about it yet!

Later, the housekeeper asked the old lady on behalf of the people from several houses: "Old lady, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is in our Zhongfu or choose one house and put it in other houses?!" ”

The old lady replied casually: "Then put it in our middle house!" ”

This is the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, the family banquet.

When the wives left, the old lady sighed to Zhu'er: "It's arranged and it's done, you can't tell me." ”

Zhu'er said: "That's because the old ladies have old ladies in their hearts, and the old ladies have to do everything before they dare to do it." The lord and the wife are filial to the old lady. ”

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "They are officials and businessmen, and they look flattering, and they are still like this to me!" It's really filial to me, why bother to say this, aren't they all done in the same way as in previous years? This year, I won't just ask, so that people don't have to worry about it. I ask every year, I say every year, it's all the same, it's nothing more than that, sticking to the door, setting off firecrackers, eating big feasts, walking the Mid-Autumn Festival, listening to small songs......"

Zhu'er smiled and said: "This is called saying every year, every year, the old lady sees a high life every year." ”

The old lady chirped, "You also come to flatter me." It's really not fun! After thinking about it, he said, "While I'm better today, I'll flatter others too!" Walk! Thank you for watching you Miss Qi! ”

The old lady came to thank the mirror, just to tell Yu Qi about "Luo Shen Fuqu".

This is last year's old stalk, or did the old lady ask for it herself, saying that in the future, the Mid-Autumn Festival song and dance performance will be performed, and the singers and dancers outside will not be invited, only let Yu Qi play.

I just chatted and complained to Zhu'er, and when I said "listen to a little song", I suddenly remembered this.

Before she could get close, a girl had already reported to Yu Li, and Yu Qi hurriedly went out to greet her.

When the old lady saw Yu Qi, she said, "Your heart is connected with me, and you must know that I am coming." ”

Yu Qi smiled shyly and glanced at Zhu'er. Yes, thanks to Zhu'er sending someone to inform in advance, otherwise, how could he have thought that the old lady would come?

In the inner room, Zisu served tea.

The old lady took Yu Qi's hand and said, "Son, do you remember what I begged you for last year?" ”

Yu Qi knew what the old lady was asking, but she couldn't think of it, and she was thinking about it!

The old lady frowned and said with a smile: "I have eaten the eggs, but I don't remember yesterday's events." I'll tell you, you ...... with Zisu last year."

Yu Qi hurriedly interrupted: "It's all ready, "Luo Shen Fu Song"!" The old lady will listen to it tomorrow and have a good time. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was very happy.

The old lady said: "Only you fulfill my wish, none of the people in this house can be trusted!" Son, thank you! ”

These words contain a lot of helplessness and concern. Yu Qi understood, so he looked at the old lady deeply and expressed his gratitude.

But Yu Qi was very anxious, the old lady suddenly visited, and she didn't know when she wanted to speak, she and Zisu wanted to go to Xifu! Look, Zhuang Jue is an excuse, he wants to take Mr. Yao to Shizhai to explore the way.

The old lady just chattered, talking about how the old men were pretentious, and how the wives were pretentious, Yu Qi listened, I don't know whether the old lady complains about them, or praises them, so she can't respond, just listen.

Seeing that Yu Qi was silent, the old lady was surprised and asked her, "What?" Don't flatter me for two sentences? ”

Yu Qi was stunned: "Listen, I am flattering in my heart, and I am afraid that I will make the old lady laugh when I say it." The old lady was a wise man, and knew my thoughts. ”

The old lady pointed at Yu Qi, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, and she smiled from ear to ear.

Zhu'er, who was standing next to her, was embarrassed and said, "If I had a mind like a girl, I wouldn't have flattered the old lady just now, and if I flattered her with good words, I would end up with a no." ”

The old lady turned to Zhu'er and said, "If you don't say it, she is the girl of our family!" Clever! ”

Zhu'er said: "No wonder the old lady loves Miss Qi, many people in the house say that Miss Qi is the old lady's granddaughter!" The girl in the four mansions has become a granddaughter. ”

The old lady looked very displeased, and said, "Clean nonsense! "She was afraid that Yu Qi would be too careful.

Because Zhu'er said this, the old lady didn't want to stay for a long time, sat for a while, and said that she was going back to lie down. Inexplicably came, inexplicably went, Yu Qi was a little confused, and a little surprised.

Sent out the door, the old lady asked strangely: "It seems that I haven't seen Sanxi in your hospital for a long time, I said that I was sick, but I can see that I am better?" ”

When Yu Qi heard this, he panicked and came up with a lie that he was almost ready. The old lady believed it, and said nothing.

Seeing off the old lady, Zisu said: "The old lady is coming, I dare to ask you to go out of the mountain to perform "Luo Shen Fu Song", you have such a big face." ”

Yu Qi said: "Don't you also invite my sister?" If you don't have a sister, how can you become a song! ”

Zi Su said: "Last time it was to solve your urgent needs, this time, I shouldn't!" I'm not a singer. ”

Yu Qi begged: "Sister, this time is also urgent, let's hold the hearts and eyes of those people, so that Mr. Yao will have a chance to take people out!" Not to mention, in the dark, heaven has an arrangement. Sister, don't shirk it? ”

Zisu shook his head vigorously, really unwilling.

Yu Qi begged a few times, and finally, Zi Su said: "This time I begged me to beg early, if I were you, I would go to see Mr. Yao first, and find out the way in advance to take good action, than to talk about what nonsense here "Luo Shen Fu Song" is real." “”

yes, I almost forgot about business.

Without further ado, the two cleaned up and hurried out to Xifu. When I arrived in Xifu, I saw that the people over there were arranging the lanterns in the courtyard and other things.

As before, when he went to Xifu, he had to go to the county lord to say goodbye, but fortunately, Zisu was smart, and he grabbed a little girl and asked, "Mrs. is busy?" ”

The little girl said: "The lord in the palace is here, and the wife is seeing it!" ”

As soon as Yu Qi heard that Su Yuan was coming, he was worried and asked, "Su Yuan is coming with his family?" ”

The little girl said, "There are several people." ”

Zi Su said: "Did you bring in the imperial doctor in the palace?" ”

The little girl shook her head and said she didn't know.

Yu Qi looked left and right, saw that the lanterns everywhere had been replaced, and asked the girl: "Are the lanterns in all the courtyard houses new?" ”

The little girl said, "Yes! Girl! It's all changed. ”

Yu Qi said: "I remember that no one lives in the Phoenix Pavilion, and it is also hung up?" ”

The little girl said, "I didn't pay attention to this." Otherwise, I'll go and tell the girl again. ”

Yu Qi stopped: "I'm also curious, just ask." ”

I heard a few things from the girl's mouth, one, the county lord was meeting guests, and two, the Phoenix Pavilion stone was not lit. From this, it is not necessary to go to the county lord to say goodbye, you can go directly to Mr. Yao, be sure to buy time, find out the road clearly, so that Mr. can pick up the people underground!

On the way to Zhuang Jueyuan's house, I met Mr. Yao.

In order to hide people's eyes, Yu Qi greeted Mr. Yao loudly: "Sir, you said before that you need mulberry leaves to cure the third brother's illness, and I remembered that there are them in Shizhai." I'll take my husband over and get it! ”

He said it loudly for others to hear.

Mr. Yao understood, and nodded his head. Afterwards, several people walked briskly to Shizhai.
