Chapter 422: Mid-Autumn Festival
Mr. Clan Studies had something at home and took a leave of absence for half a month, and Jia Huan and his students didn't have to go to school, so they were all at home during the holidays.
Jia Huanwo practiced in his own small yard and lay down with salted fish.
Mrs. Wang didn't bother to pay attention to him, not wanting him to be an eyesore in front of her eyes.
Anyway, this concubine is almost like a waste, and she doesn't need to find a way to beat her anymore.
Just like to read and just like to play, how can your own master like it?
A few days later, it was August 15th.
Lin Daiyu was taken to Rongguo Mansion again to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Lin Ruhai, as the son-in-law of the Jia family, even if he had the intention to alienate the Jia family, on such a day, he had to be invited to come to Rongguo Mansion and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Jia family.
However, the two came relatively late, and only after Lin Ruhai went to the government did they take Lin Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion.
Rongguo Mansion had already prepared a dinner party, just waiting for the father and daughter to come and have a banquet together.
The dishes at the banquet were all big fish and meat, so that the father and daughter of the Lin family, who were used to Qingtang, were not used to it, and the two only picked two or three vegetarian dishes and ate some.
There were fresh pomegranates and watermelons, which made the two of them eat a few more pieces.
Lin Daiyu has a weak spleen and stomach, so she can't eat too many cold things, so she just eats a piece of watermelon and only eats other fruits.
When Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu, she couldn't sit still, and wanted to run to the female roll.
How could Lin Ruhai allow it?
He took out the majesty of being a teacher, called Jia Baoyu, and took the test for Jia Baoyu on the spot.
Fortunately, he knew Jia Baoyu's habits, and he knew from his daughter that Jia Baoyu didn't study much, so the questions for the school examination were very simple and could be answered by Jia Baoyu.
After all, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can't let Jia Zheng beat the child, right?
Jia Zheng saw that Jia Baoyu had answered Lin Ruhai's question, stroked his beard with satisfaction, glanced at the concubine who was like a frozen cat on the side, and couldn't help frowning.
But thinking that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, he couldn't help but didn't reprimand his son.
Anyway, he didn't have much hope for his concubine.
Jia Huan noticed Jia Zheng's gaze, pretended not to notice, and only ate the dishes in front of him.
The father and daughter of the Lin family don't like this kind of big fish and meat, he likes it.
Especially the braised elbow in front of me, the taste is simply amazing.
Jia Huan directly held his elbow with his hand and gnawed, without the demeanor of a son-in-law, causing a lot of white eyes.
After the meal, it was already dark, and the moon climbed up the willow tops.
At this time, You Shi took Jia Rong and Jia Qiang and Jia Qiang to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate the festival with Jia Mu and the others.
Jia Zhen still didn't show up.
This guy is now missing except for the people who serve him, even You Shi and Jia Rong.
Except for the New Year's festival to worship ancestors, he will not show up on occasions when there are many people.
You took his son and daughter-in-law to say hello to Jia's mother and laughed a few words.
The melons, fruits and moon cakes sent by Ning Guofu were very popular with Jia's mother, so Jia's mother praised a few words.
You Shi was happy and said a lot of flattering words to Jia's mother.
You really thinks that life is good now.
Jia Zhen is now nested in her yard and doesn't care about anything, and she now has the feeling of being the wife of Ning Guofu.
The unsightly stepmother and two younger sisters also left, no one gave her any anger, and her son and daughter-in-law were also considered filial, and she lived very well, only feeling ten times better than before.
I'm in a better mood and I'm much better.
The mandarin duck came over and reminded Jia Mu that it was time to go to incense.
Jia Mu got up, You Shi and Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to help, and a group of people went to the Grand View Garden.
The gates of the garden have been wide open, and bright lanterns are hung along the way, illuminating half of the garden.
On the platform in front of Jiayin Hall, incense is burned, wind candles are held, and melon cakes and various fruits are offered.
Mother Jia took the female rolls to put incense on their hands and worship the god of the moon.
The men waited until the women had bowed, and they all came forward to pay their respects.
After that, everyone came to the hall of the mountain crest not far away to admire the moon together.
Because today is the night of reunion, and they are all relatives of their own families, although they are divided into men and women, and a screen is placed in the middle, there are no other rules, and men and women can also talk and chat through the screen.
Jia's mother ordered someone to break a branch of osmanthus and came over, and asked a daughter-in-law to beat the drum next to her to pass the flowers. Whoever spends it, drinks a drink, and punishes a joke.
For a while, there was quite a lot of laughter at the table, and it was very lively.
Jia Huan is not interested in the jokes told by these people, he has seen too many jokes on the Internet, and these jokes told by the ancients sound really boring to Jia Huan.
He touched a piece of moon cake and a pomegranate, then boiled down the table and boiled out.
"Third brother, wait for me."
Indeed, when Jia Cong saw that Jia Huanxi was gone, he also came out.
Jia Huan stopped and waited for Jia Cong to catch up with him.
It just so happens that you can take the test for Jia Cong's kung fu.
When the subordinates saw these two people, they pretended not to see them, and let the two of them go.
The two of them left the sight of the crowd, but they were much more comfortable.
They descended the hillside, turned a pool, walked through a corridor, and rounded a rockery to a building.
Although there are lanterns lit in this place, there are not many of them, and they can only illuminate the way.
However, this place is close to the water, and the water surface reflects the light, which makes the brightness a little higher.
There was no one else here, it was very quiet, and Jia Huan asked Jia Cong to practice his martial arts here.
Jia Cong's kung fu is already good now, he has practiced light skills, and he can come and go on the water.
Jia Huan praised this, which made Jia Cong very happy.
Jia Cong picked up a branch and really wanted to show Jia Huan his swordsmanship, when he suddenly heard a voice coming here.
The two didn't want to see anyone, so they walked in the opposite direction of the voice.
Not long after they left, Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu came here to admire the moon and had a classic moon-watching couplet.
Even though her father is still alive in this life, Lin Daiyu still came up with the poem "The crane shadow in the cold pond, and the flower soul is buried in the cold moon".
After that, the two of them were invited by Miaoyu to have tea in the Lucui Nunnery, and Miaoyu helped the two of them add a follow-up to the couplet.
The next day, Shi Xiangyun told Jia Baoyu and others about the incident.
Jia Baoyu regretted it, he knew that he would follow Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun together, not only could he hear the wonderful poems of his two sisters on the spot, but also saw Miaoyu, the goddess of coldness.
He beat his chest here, and Lin Daiyu sped up his breakfast, and after breakfast, he went to find his father and left Rongguo Mansion.
When Jia Baoyu regretted wanting to find Sister Lin, she learned that Sister Lin had followed Uncle Lin home.
Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded.
Shi Xiangyun sneered, but his heart was very complicated, and he didn't know what it was like.
Xue Baochai had seen enough of the performance of the two on the side, Shi Shiran stepped forward and spoke to Jia Baoyu softly, drawing Jia Baoyu's attention to her.
