In Rongqing Hall, the melodious sound of the flute in Jia's mother courtyard came from afar, followed by the gentle opera sound of Wu Nong's soft language:

"I'm happy to have a little time to spare, and I'm looking for a good time with you. That ....."

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, also known as the Moon Festival, which originated in ancient times, popularized with the Han Dynasty, and stereotyped with the Tang Dynasty. With the full moon and the reunion of people, it is the feeling of missing hometown and relatives.

Jia's mother is a person who likes to be lively, especially such a festive festival, no, since the day before yesterday, Wang Xifeng began to prepare for today's dinner, the dinner party in Rongqing Hall began completely after nightfall, except for Aunt Xue, Xiangyun, Baochai is a guest, the rest are their own people, a large open space in front of the flower hall, a few family banquet banquets, a small home-style stage was also set up in the courtyard, the small theater sent by Qian Feng was acting, everyone was eating and drinking and listening to the play, while admiring the moon.

"Don't lie to you, the ancients have a proverb that the clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and the snow lights up on the fifteenth day of the first month. If you don't believe it, it will be clear on the Shangyuan Festival next year. ”

"Wow, Sister Bao, you know so much!"

Xichun exclaimed.

"Sister Bao really doesn't know anything about books, no books!"

Baoyu clapped his hands and laughed.

Xiangyun turned his head to look at the sky, there were layers of clear clouds in the sky, like smoke and fog, as if a thin silver veil had been draped over the full moon, which was very beautiful!

Looking at Baochai, who was laughing with Xichun, Xiangyun whispered to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, Sister Lin, do you know this?" ”

Although his face was calm, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

Daiyu glanced at Xiangyun inexplicably, she really didn't understand what made her excited, nodded and said: "This is the connection between the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Shangyuan Festival that the ancients discovered in their long-term life, that is, life experience, as for why, it's quite complicated, I can't understand it with you, there are books in this area in the small study, you can find it yourself." ”

"Baoyu is a fool, and he is so bad that he talks about himself all day long."

Seeing Baoyu looking at the sky and smirking, Xiangyun pursed his lips and said lazily: "It's so boring!" It's not interesting at all, it's better to gather around the table and laugh and have fun. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, so she pulled Daiyu and asked, "Sister Lin, do you say that the moon on the grassland is also like this?" ”

Daiyu's brows furrowed, and she only glanced at Xiangyun without squeaking.

"Poof...."

Tanchun suddenly laughed, "If the third brother hears you say this, it's time to laugh at you again." ”

Yingchun saw the opportunity and said: "I don't know what my brother is doing? Did you have dinner? ”

After being silent for a while, Daiyu spoke, "I don't know if I eat it or not, but they definitely don't have mooncakes to eat." ”

Several people were moved by these words, and looked up at the moon in the sky that was gradually disappearing into the clouds, and suddenly felt bored.

At this time, there was some noise outside the courtyard gate, and then Jia Lian's voice came, "Old lady, the chief manager of the palace is here." ”

When Jia's mother heard this, she hurriedly got up and dressed up to prepare to go out, Daiyu and Sanchun sisters and other daughters did not have time to avoid, and saw Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, walking in quickly, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Rong also followed, several people were full of joy, especially Jia Yu's red face, and at a glance, he knew that it was a happy event.

"The slave maid congratulated Mrs. Tai!"

Without waiting for Jia Mu to speak, Dai Quan stepped forward and congratulated.

Jia Mumeng trembled for a moment, and then, she froze, did not speak, and turned her gaze to Jia Yu.

Jia Yu strode over, "Old lady, there is a battle report from the Ruishi camp, the army defeated the Warat division at the Zabhan River, beheaded more than 23,000 people, captured 5,000 people, and Jue Ge'er personally beheaded Wara Jinong, oh, it's the prince." ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Jia Mu turned around slowly, and two crystal tears flashed in her eyes.

Since Jia Jue led the troops to go out, there has been no news, Jia's mother and other family members are panicked, today's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner seems to be lively, but in fact, there is no laughter in the past.

When Wang Xifeng saw it, he hurriedly hugged Jia's mother and said with a smile: "The ancestor is very happy, he will reward us with two glasses of wine later!" ”

Jia Mu came back to her senses at this time and laughed, "Okay, you are not allowed to rest until three watches tonight." Said to Dai Quan, "The small door is small, and I don't have much knowledge, so I laughed at the insider!" Please sit down and have a cup of tea first....."

"Look at what you said, it's a part! Forget about drinking tea, the slave still has the imperial order. ”

Dai Quan took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is the letter from home that I brought with the military newspaper." ”

Without waiting for Jia's mother to stretch out her hand, Dai Quan said again: "It's because the miscellaneous family didn't make it clear, this is a letter from the uncle to the son-in-law!" ”

The small courtyard fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes looked at Daiyu.

Daiyu was slightly stunned, and in the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, she slowly walked over, took the letter, tore open the seal and opened it to look at it—and suddenly laughed.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked, "You girl, what did Brother Jue say in the letter?" ”

"Nothing!"

Daiyu saw Baoyu coming over, so she handed him the letter, "Baoyu, you read it to everyone." ”

Baoyu couldn't help it for a long time, took the letter and glanced at it, and said to Jia's mother: "Ancestor, the third brother's letter is a riddle. ”

Then he read aloud: "The separation of the ravines and the red dust game, what is the fun?" Fame and fortune are still in vain, and it will be difficult to continue in the future. ”

Seeing everyone bowing their heads and pondering, Jia Mu smiled happily, "Are you used to tidying up these strange things, and there are colorful heads?" ”

Baoyu looked at the letter with a smile, "Yes, it is written on the back, and there is a mystery." The third brother said that there was a glass lamp from the Song Dynasty among the trophies sent last time....."

Daiyu took the letter, and a trace of panic immediately flashed across her face, Jia Mu was stunned, and asked tightly, "Why, didn't you receive it?" ”

Daiyu pondered for a while before nodding and saying, "I didn't receive it, maybe it's still on the way." ”

Hearing this, Jia Mu's eyes flashed, and Dai Quan's eyes flickered, thinking of the military report sent by Jia Jue, but it shocked the entire cabinet, but I didn't expect Jia Jue to capture the family scroll of the traitor Zhu Houze, and it has been sent to Beijing, because the matter is too big, except for him, only the emperor, the crown prince, the Duke of Qi and the cabinet know.

I don't know why, the letter only mentioned that the escort team would enter the customs from Zhangjiakou, and did not mention the time, Emperor Tianyou and others thought that they were still on the way, after all, the road was far away, and it was normal to delay for some time, but Jia Jue's letter made Dai Quan realize that something was wrong, since Jia Jue mentioned it in the letter, it means that the loot has been sent to the capital at this time.

Something happened!

Something happened to the team escorting Zhu Houze's family rolls and loot!

Seeing Dai Quan's brows, Jia Mu hurriedly asked, "Minister?" ”

Dai Quan was taken aback, and said with a smile: "The slave is rude to remember the things in the palace." ”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "The prime minister came in person while he was busy, I am really grateful, please drink tea." ”

Dai Quan shook his head and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Tai, it's just that the slave and maid are in the emperor's life, so I don't dare to delay more." ”

As he spoke, he asked Baoyu again: "Dare to ask Son, what is the riddle of this lantern riddle uncle?" The miscellaneous family also has a long insight and an eye-opener. ”

Baoyu looked at Jia Mu at a loss.

Jia Mu looked at Baoyu with a smile and turned around, "Did anyone of you sisters guess?" ”

Except for Baochai standing there calmly, Sister Yingchun is you looking at me, I am looking at you.

At this time, Xiangyun rolled his eyes and quietly told Jia Mu. Jia Mu thought about it, and sure enough, it was not bad, so she smiled and said, "But the monkey is playing?" ”

Baoyu replied with a smile: "Exactly." ”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "In the end, it's the ancestor, just guess." It's not like us, stupid and stupid, and can't figure it out. ”

When he said that, everyone laughed.

How shrewd Dai Quan was, he immediately understood what Jia Jue meant, this was to tell the Jia family that everyone in the Jia family did not have to worry about themselves, and the Warat people were the monkeys he played.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Old lady, there are still things to be busy in the slave palace, so I won't bother." ”

"You're welcome."

Mother Jia said to Jia Zhen: "Brother Zhen, send Manager Dai on my behalf, don't be rude." ”

Jia Zhen hurriedly answered a few "yes".

With Dai Quan's departure, the atmosphere in the courtyard was much lighter, especially after receiving the news from Jia Jue, several people surrounded Yingchun, talking and laughing.

Wang Xifeng waved his hand, "Keep singing!" ”

..........

"Peng!"

There was the sound of smashing tea bowls in the dormitory, and then came the angry voice of Emperor Tianyou, "I have become a monkey played by others!" Examine! Check it out! ”
