The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet should have been a good day for the whole family to get together and reunite.

In the past, when Jiang Fuyue's mother was alive, every day on this day, the aunt in the backyard and their respective children could go to this main hall, and everyone had a lively meal and moon worship together, and the atmosphere was rare and warm in the Jiang family.

But now, there are only a few people, and they seem very lonely.

Jiang Fuyue looked around, only to find that even her second brother, the first child born to Mrs. Jiang, was not there.

In the past, this man was the most lively, and whenever he came home to have a banquet, he was always the first to come.

At this time, it was not early, and seeing that everyone had already arrived, Jiang Baisheng directly led everyone to the table.

According to the rules, Jiang Baisheng sat in the first place, Mrs. Jiang and Aunt Shu should be on the left, and Jiang Fuyue and Jiang Fuyao sisters on the right.

But when it was time to sit down, Aunt Shu walked to Jiang Fuyue's side, squeezed Jiang Fuyao, who was standing here, aside, and raised her eyes to look at Jiang Baisheng pitifully: "Lord, the concubine wants to sit next to the eldest girl." ”

Before Jiang Baisheng could speak, Mrs. Jiang on the side frowned unhappily and scolded: "There are no rules!" What kind of feast is today, how can you sit wherever you want! ”

Although Jiang Baisheng did not speak, he was obviously on Mrs. Jiang's side.

Aunt Shu bit her lower lip lightly, didn't speak, and looked at Jiang Baisheng with teary eyes.

Because of her illness and weakness, her face was pale, and she looked particularly touching.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth angrily on the side.

This vixen!

It's all this trick back!

It's not too boring!

Jiang Baisheng was very fond of this, and after being watched by her for a while, she nodded and compromised, and when she spoke again, her tone was a lot softer: "Today is a family banquet, there is not so much attention, you are not in good health, just sit if you want to." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Aunt Shu Yingying saluted and sat down directly.

Jiang Fuyao gritted his teeth angrily and took Jiang Fuyu to sit beside Mrs. Jiang.

It's not uncommon for her to sit with Jiang Fuyue, but seeing Jiang Baisheng favoring Aunt Shu so much, she feels very uncomfortable.

Obviously, in the past, Jiang Baisheng loved Mrs. Jiang the most, and he always looked towards Mrs. Jiang when he spoke, but now, ......

Jiang Fuyao glared at Aunt Shu fiercely, his eyes were as fierce as if he was a fierce beast in the jungle.

Everyone sat down, and the maids lined up to bring the meal that had been prepared a long time ago.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the extraordinarily sumptuous delicacies, crabs are naturally indispensable.

The maids stepped forward and put the porcelain plate containing the hairy crabs and the eight crabs in the hands of several masters.

In each porcelain plate are three hairy crabs full of fat and yellow, which are not small, and the crabs are still steaming.

Jiang Baisheng picked up a crab with one hand, picked up scissors with the other, first cut off the crab claws and crab legs, and then removed all the inedible parts of the crab, leaving the stiff texture of the crab roe, and then took out the crab meat on the crab body and legs, put the crab meat and crab roe in the crab shell, and finally lit a few drops of crab vinegar, and it was done.

Jiang Fuyao has been paying attention to Jiang Baisheng's movements, with a faint expectation on his face.

In the past, when eating, if there were shrimp or other things that needed to be disposed of on the table, Jiang Baisheng would definitely have to dispose of the things for her first.

This time will certainly be no exception.

She had even put down the chopsticks in her hand and was ready to pick up the crab.

However, Jiang Baisheng didn't look at her, but handed the crab shell in his hand with a full amount of crab roe and crab meat to Jiang Fuyue, and his tone was rare and gentle: "In the past two months, thanks to you teaching your third sister, I know you love crabs, eat them quickly." ”

Jiang Fuyue lowered her eyes and looked at the crab shell in his hand, but she didn't take it for a long time.

There is a disgust that can't be concealed in his eyes.

Jiang Baisheng thought she was moved, so he handed the crab shell to her again, and there was a little more smile in his voice: "Don't look stupid, go on!" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Fuyue had no choice but to tell herself in her heart that she came over today to ask for something, and she couldn't annoy people.

She finally had done enough psychological construction, and just put down her chopsticks and was about to pick it up, when she suddenly stretched out a very thin and bony hand diagonally and took the crab shell.

"The lord is really, as soon as the eldest girl comes back, she can't take care of the concubine, and the concubine can't rely on it!" Aunt Shu said as she lowered her head and ate a bite of crab meat, with a bit of enjoyment on her face, "The crab is delicious, and the crab peeled by the lord himself tastes better!" ”

Jiang Baisheng was amused by her jealous behavior: "You, why are you still jealous of a child!" ”

Aunt Shu snorted lightly and turned her head to look at Jiang Fuyue: "Big girl, you won't blame me for robbing your crab, right?" ”

Jiang Fuyue smiled with relief: "How come, aunt eat more." ”

"You're still sensible!" Jiang Baisheng looked at her with satisfaction, "Come, father will peel you again!" ”

"No need, father," Jiang Fuyue hurriedly stopped, "My daughter can peel it herself, don't be tired, father." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Baisheng added a little ironing in his heart: "Good boy, let's eat quickly!" ”

No one looked at Jiang Fuyao, who had an ugly face.

Mrs. Jiang noticed it, kicked her lightly under the table, and gave her a warning look, telling her not to sit here with a bitter and hateful face.

Jiang Fuyao had no choice but to reluctantly pick up the chopsticks and bow his head to eat.

There was silence at the dinner table for a while, and everyone lowered their heads to eat their own food, without a festive atmosphere.

Suddenly, Aunt Shu coughed.

She coughed more and more violently, as if she was going to cough out all her internal organs, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood before it stopped.

On the plain white handkerchief, there was a translucent blood water, the color was not strong, but it was particularly conspicuous.

Aunt Shu casually put the handkerchief aside and smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, it's been cold recently, and my body is getting worse and worse." ”

"In that case, don't eat cold things," Jiang Baisheng's tone was full of concern, "Come on, change a warm cup of tea for Aunt Shu." ”

Jiang Fuyue lowered her eyes, and her gaze paused on the blood stains of the veil.

Although it has been a lifetime, the moment she saw this veil, Jiang Fuyue suddenly remembered many things.

I remembered that before her mother died, she often coughed, and at the beginning, she would vomit such blood, and when it was serious, the skin on her body would be red when she touched it, and the red spots were dense purple dots, which were very terrifying.

Jiang Fuyue's thoughts gradually drifted away.

Aunt Shu suddenly sighed softly, reached out and scratched her forearm, and complained: "After this day is cold, I always feel dry and itchy on my body, which is really uncomfortable. ”

As she moved, light red traces gradually emerged, and there was a faint purple in them.
