Chapter Ninety-Four: Five-kernel stuffed mooncakes

Chapter Ninety-Four

The next morning, the first thing Shanniang did when she woke up was to run under the north window and take a look.

Outside the window, under the crooked neck willow, there was no trace of the canopy boat long ago.

The slender willow branches hanging on the surface of the river are stirring the surface of the water for a while, stirring the morning light reflected in the river into a fine golden light - just like Shanniang's mood at the moment.

Shanniang raised her hand and wiped her forehead, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at herself. Looking back now, she didn't know what evil she had fallen for last night, so why she agreed to him so lightly and replaced the "expedient measure" with a "long-term plan...... It's okay to say yes, but ......

The fear of the future made her cower in the morning breeze.

"Oh, my girl, how are you standing on the tuyere this morning?! This is a sickness! โ€

Suddenly, there was the babbling of Wufu behind him. Before she could turn back, she had already been wrapped in a garment from Wufu on her shoulders.

Wufu pulled her away from the window, frowned, and replicated her in an almost commanding tone: "The girl is really, such a big person, so you know how to take care." Ming'er is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's cold in the morning and evening, and he doesn't even wear a piece of clothing and stands in the tuyere, and Ming'er is going to have a headache again! โ€

Sanhe was standing beside the soft couch and packing up the bedding, and when he heard Wufu's words, he turned back to her and complained: "You don't know, the girl doesn't know what's wrong, she has always been afraid of the cold, but yesterday she said that the heat was unbearable!" She turned her head to look at Shanniang's feet, in the end she saved face for her, and did not completely demolish her.

Wufu pulled Shanniang to sit on the round stool in front of the dresser, poured another cup of hot tea and handed it to her, and replied to Sanhe without looking back: "It is said that the wine is irritable, the girl has drunk too much!" He teased Shanniang in a low voice: "It seems that I should pour a glass of wine for the girl every morning in the future, and the girl is not in bed today." โ€

This is true, in the past, it was difficult for Shanniang to be completely awake all at once in the morning, but now she is very awake completely, and she has not yet gotten out of bed.

Sanhe Wufu neatly waited for Shanniang to freshen up and change clothes, and she didn't even need her to say a word, but Shanniang looked at them and sighed silently.

In her previous life, whether it was the previous Shuangyuan Sixi, or the three and five blessings, including the later Lu'an, in fact, she had always used the set of imperial techniques she learned from the old lady. At that time, she felt that she had tried her best to be kind to them, but even Lu'an, she was still more in awe than close to her. At that time, she could clearly feel that although they spent time with her day and night, they didn't really care about her, they just took care of her as a job...... Unlike now, Sanhe will nag her, and Wufu will even accuse her in a transgressive tone...... In the previous life, this was no longer possible......

Even the three and five blessings are changing, in this life, what else can't change? Even if she marries Yuan Changqing like in her previous life, the future may not be what she knows...... Thinking like this, Shanniang suddenly became brave again.

At this time, there was also a movement of Lin Ruzhi and them getting up from the bedroom and the outer room, and Shanniang raised her voice and asked, "Aru, are you also up?" โ€

"It's up." Ah Ru called in the bedroom, and asked her again, "Why did you sleep well, you ran to the inner room?" But I'm not honest when I sleep? โ€

Shanniang smiled, and was about to go out and say, "You know it too", when she heard You Hui and Zhao Xiang'er moaning loudly outside: "Please, be quiet, have a headache!" โ€

At this time, Lin Ruzhi had already put on her clothes, so she stood at the door of the east room and looked at Shanniang, who was still combing her hair, and stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "I'll go see them first." โ€

When Sanhe helped Shanniang braid her hair, Lin Ruzhi had already made a mess with You Hui and Zhao Xiang'er outside, and Zhao Xiang'er's voice wailed, "Headache! โ€

Shanniang suddenly remembered, so she turned back to Sanhe and asked, "Where is the small porcelain vase I originally put under the pillow?" โ€

Sanhe snorted at the eight-treasure shelf and said, "Put it on that shelf." She glanced at Shanniang in the mirror, lowered her voice, and smiled strangely, "And that pocket watch." โ€

Shanniang didn't want to blush, but when Sanhe teased her in that tone, she couldn't help but blush.

She glared at Sanhe from the mirror, and instructed Wufu: "There is a hangover pill in it, send it to the girls." โ€

Wufu agreed, and took the porcelain vase from the shelf and sent it out.

Sanhe glanced at the porcelain vase in Wufu's hand, and suddenly said, "Why haven't I seen this at home before?" โ€

Shanniang's heart jumped, she glanced at Sanhe quickly from the mirror, and said with a smile: "I don't believe it, you can remember all the things at home?" Then he said ominously, "This is given by someone else." โ€

Wufu leaned over and smiled: "Don't believe it, girl, she may really know everything." She knew better than the ledger what was there! โ€

"You should be like you, don't worry about being an errand!" Sanhe knocked her with a comb and said, "Go quickly, I'm shouting a headache outside!" โ€

As she was talking, Zhao Xiang'er, who was pale, came in with her head in her hands, and looked at Shanniang with a normal face for a while with envy, jealousy, and hatred, "You obviously shouted a headache last night, why are we uncomfortable now, are you okay?" โ€

"Because God is fair," Shan Niang looked back and laughed, "Who told you to laugh at me last night, look, now you have been punished." โ€

*ยท*ยท*

For the Hou family, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is a family event second only to the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet. No matter how the old lady and the old lady don't see the king, these two festivals every year must pretend to be harmonious and come out to "share the family" with a large family of children and nephews.

Even the old lady can't avoid this family banquet, let alone the fifth master. This family banquet is not just a matter of one meal, but a luncheon and a dinner. It's just that the fifth master can't come late and leave early. Therefore, when I got up early in the morning, the fifth master told Shanniang not to just play by herself, to take care of my wife, and not to let people collide, but I nagged my wife to be embarrassed for a while, and said to the old man: "Shan'er's leg injury is not completely healed!" Sir, is this a joke, can't I take care of her? โ€

The fifth master was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said: "You take care of each other, take care of each other......

As he was talking, Uncle Gui came in with a poster, but it was his wife's maiden family, and the Zhuji Yao family came to give a gift for the festival.

The wife was stunned. Since her father's death, although she still sends gifts to her parents' house every year, her mother's family has never returned the gift as if they were not ready to associate with her as a girl again. It is this year's Spring Festival Dragon Boat Festival, and the family has never received a return gift from the Yao family.

When Uncle Gui came in, it happened that Yuan Changqing had also arrived, and after hearing the reason, he walked to the master's side and whispered something to the master.

The old man suddenly raised his head, sneered, covered his mouth with his hand, and commanded Uncle Gui a few words.

The wife asked, "What's the matter?" โ€

The old man said: "It's nothing, there is me." โ€

So the wife didn't ask.

Shanniang couldn't help but smile - it's good for the wife to do this, let the master hold it if he can stand it, and it's not too late for the wife to have a headache again.

She was watching her smile when she suddenly felt an itch on the back of her neck. Looking back, I saw Yuan Changqing's dark eyes falling on her. And hatefully, he was intentionally or unconsciously caressing the palm edge of his left hand with his right hand, where she had bitten him last night.

Shanniang only felt that the roots of her ears were hot, and she tilted her head suddenly, and refused to look at him angrily.

Yuan Changqing bent his eyes slightly, and then turned his gaze.

The two of them only exchanged glances quickly and secretly, but they didn't want the old lady to look at them all.

Now Yuan Changqing is not only the nephew of Mrs. Meng's eight poles, but he is also the son-in-law of the Hou family. Therefore, it is reasonable for him to accompany his father-in-law's family to visit relatives and elders.

The wife glanced at him and Shanniang, then turned back to the fifth master and smiled: "It's not early, let's go, it's not good to go too late." He added, "It's just a few steps to cross the house, so you only need to prepare two cars below, and everyone is crowded." โ€

Mrs. was thinking of looking for an opportunity to ask Shanniang and the couple to cultivate more feelings, but the old man and Mrs. disagreed. Until now, the old man still felt that Yuan Changqing was not the most ideal son-in-law in his mind, so he saw that he was still somewhat unsatisfactory with raised eyebrows and raised eyes, so he said: "It's not that there is no car at home." With that, he asked Uncle Gui to arrange it single-handedly.

Mrs. didn't say anything at the time, but complained to the fifth master behind her back, "The master should think about himself and talent." At that time, if our family had given us the opportunity to get acquainted with it more, it would not have been ......."

The wife bit her lip and refused to say more, but the old man immediately understood what she meant, hugged his wife and sighed: "Yes, if I had given me a chance earlier, we would not have delayed all these years......"

That's for later.

At that time, Yuan Changqing didn't have that good luck. The old man called wide sitting, and Uncle Gui naturally arranged it widely. So the old lady had a car, Shanniang pulled her younger brother Hou Jue in the same car, Yuan Changqing was hesitating whether to rub cheekily into Shanniang's car, but he saw Hou Rui watching him from the sidelines, he was not thick-skinned enough, so he had to sit in a car with Hou Rui depressed.

When the family came to West Garden, they were already the last to arrive. So when the group went to greet the old lady and the old lady, it was really "all the attention".

In the later era of such openness, when a girl brought her boyfriend to the door for the first time, the young couple would receive too eager attention from their families, not to mention that in such an era of isolation and no entertainment. So, after everyone greeted each other, Yuan Changqing retreated with the old men, and in a blink of an eye, Shanniang became the object of the ladies' pastime.

Women of any era are the same, they all like to look at beautiful men, not to mention that Yuan Changqing still has such a troublesome face. An aunt seemed to enthusiastically warn Mrs. Five: "It's not a good thing for a man to look good, you have to prepare for more than thirteen." โ€

Other girls may not be able to understand this sentence, but Shanniang, who has been a housewife for many years, understands as soon as she hears it, this aunt is persuading Mrs. Fifth to prepare a few more beautiful wedding maids for her!

Mrs. Pian was clumsy, and she only blushed and couldn't speak. Seeing this, Shanniang held his wife's shoulder, looked at the aunt with a smile and said, "Auntie said that I am so sad, you just say that I am not good-looking." โ€

According to the rules, when the daughter's family encounters others talking about their own family affairs, they should pretend not to hear it, but Bian Shanniang not only did not go away, but also took the initiative to reply. Such unruly behavior that does not know how to measure suddenly shocked everyone in the Hou family speechless, and even the old lady was so shocked that the moon cake in her hand rolled down - is this still the thirteen niang who was praised by everyone at the beginning as the most well-behaved and most measured?!

Shanniang didn't see everyone's stunned expressions, turned around and took a box of moon cakes from Wufu's hand, went over to offer them to the old lady, and said with a smile: "The granddaughter has no other etiquette to honor the old lady, but she made some moon cakes by herself according to the custom." I still remember the old lady's favorite lotus paste filling, I wrapped lotus paste, bean paste, and egg yolk, the old lady taste it fresh. โ€

The old lady smiled and said, "Your legs are not good yet, but you still remember to do this." Then he turned his head and ordered Wu's mother to take the moon cakes.

Shanniang said, "I know that the old lady doesn't like five-kernel stuffing, so she didn't make that." In fact, I don't like the five kernel stuffing, I always feel that Xu is because there are many kernels (people) in it, each with its own taste, but it is still strung together, and the kernel stuffing is annoying. She laughed with a pun.
