The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the court also gave a holiday today, and the officials also returned home to reunite with their families to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

The Ming family prepared today's sacrifices to worship ancestors and today's meals, and Xie Yixiao led people to open the warehouse, took out all the lanterns she treasured, and then hung them up, and then they could enjoy the moon and lanterns after nightfall.

Xie Yixiao arranged for someone to give the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to the stewards of the imperial city, including six months of cakes, six crabs, and some vegetables and fruits to eat, a full basket.

After everyone in the house was busy together, they went to Mulan Garden to eat hairy crabs together, and in order to eat crabs, the kitchen also carefully prepared ginger tea and chrysanthemum wine to ward off the cold.

The crabs of the Qingfeng Building on the river were only sent yesterday, and now they are still raised in the kitchen, they are all fresh, although the crabs in August are not as good as the yellow fat in September and October, but they also taste very good.

Xie Yixiao didn't dare to eat more after eating two, so he slowly drank ginger tea and chatted with everyone, although the crab is delicious, it is cold, and women should not eat more, it is almost enough to eat two at a time.

It's a pity that you can't eat more, and the days of eating crabs are so long, and you don't have to eat them after the season.

Duchess Rong Guo said: "I see, you can make some drunken crabs, when I used to fight, I went to Huzhou, where hairy crabs are abundant, and it is not easy to sell during the war, so the locals will make it into drunk crabs, which can be placed for a long time, and it is called a fragrant when you eat it, with the fragrance of crab meat, and the fragrance of wine, which is delicious." ”

Ming's curiosity asked, "Is it really so delicious?" ”

Duchess Rong Guo nodded: "Naturally, it's delicious, ask the kitchen to make some, let's keep it and eat slowly." ”

Xie Yi smiled: "I have also heard of someone making drunk crabs, the taste is a little different from fresh crabs, but each has its own flavor, and it is also worth eating. ”

"I asked the Qingfeng Building on the river to pay attention to leave us more, and then we will make drunk crabs, I also heard that there is a one called June Huang, which is eaten in June, and it is also delicious, but it has to be in the local area where crabs are raised."

Ming said: "June Huang, the crab eaten in June, I haven't heard of it." ”

"I heard that there are a lot of crab seedlings raised by crab farmers, and when the crabs grow up, they will fish out some in advance in order to raise crabs, because they are all fished up and eaten in May and June, and a crab that is not big or small is called June Yellow."

"I heard that the gluttony has traveled thousands of miles to the past, just to eat a bite of June yellow."

Ming felt amazing: "How do you know this?" ”

Xie Yi smiled: "I saw it all in the travelogue, a gentleman specially wrote a travelogue to Huzhou to eat June yellow, I was drooling when I saw it, if it weren't for the fact that we couldn't raise it here, I would like to raise some." ”

There are also people in the imperial city who raise crabs, but they are indeed not as fat as the crabs in Huzhou, and the taste is slightly worse, and they are not easy to raise, and the price of raising them is about the same as the crabs from Huzhou, so gradually there are fewer people to raise, and only those who eat at home will raise some.

Xie Yixiao said that the family was a little moved, but it was a pity that it was not worth it to go to Huzhou for a bite of crabs, so it could only be a pity.

After the family finished lunch, they went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors after a break, and when the worship was over, they began to eat at night, because they ate crabs not long ago, so they didn't use much.

After using up this evening eclipse, it was not long after the end of the day, and then everyone went back to their own yards to wash, and after dark, they gathered together to admire the moon.

Before nightfall, the lanterns hung up during the day are lit one by one, reflecting the world.

Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao came hand in hand and went to Mulan Garden together, at this time in the pavilion of Mulan Garden, Duchess Rong Guo had already prepared all kinds of food, tea and wine, just waiting for the family to enjoy the moon together.

When the couple arrived, Rong Xun and his wife had already come with Rong Jing Rong Xuan, and Rong Ting and Rong Xiao had worshiped their ancestors and had a night meal, and Rong Jing Rong Xuan was running around in the courtyard with Rong Xiao at this time.

The bright moon hung high, the family was reunited, and everyone was very happy.

Xie Yixiao sat down on the beauty in the pavilion, and the Ming family on the side handed her a glass of fruit wine: "You taste this wine, the fruit wine is not intoxicating after eating, and a little osmanthus is sprinkled on it." ”

Xie Yi tasted it with a smile and was slightly surprised: "It turned out to be wine." ”

Ming's said: "Yes, I asked someone to brew it when I was old, but it was not brewed much, it didn't taste like wine, it was sweet, and it was okay to drink." ”

Xie Yixiao nodded: "Indeed." ”

"But it's not as good as the green plum wine and peach blossom wine in Xizi Pavilion, and I don't talk about the Changchun wine and Hongyan wine."

"Green plum wine and peach blossom wine are also average, Changchun wine and Hongyan wine are no longer essential wines, mainly to nourish the skin, and the taste is secondary."

"That's right." Ming's smile, Xie Yi smiled and opened Xizi Pavilion, those fat powder medicinal wines will not lack her sister-in-law, every time there is a new product, she can also use it first.

The two of them have always had a relationship, everyone is human, and occasionally there are inconsiderate places, but they are both considerate of each other, and the relationship has always been good, and I hope it can continue like this.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, round as a white jade plate, looking at it from afar, as if you can see the laurel in the moon, the Duchess of Rong Guo called the three children to come back to eat moon cakes, and the face has been happy.

Xie Yixiao and Rong Ci whispered together, smiling from time to time, while Rong Xun and Ming were sitting on the side drinking tea, and the family was lively and joyful.

When Duchess Rong Guo saw Rong Ting sitting alone on the side, she was a little emotional, so she asked him, "Have you asked the Chen family about that matter?" ”

Rong Ting nodded: "I went to ask yesterday, but the Chen family didn't reply, saying that they would think about it and make a decision, but I didn't have any displeasure on the faces of the people over there, so I guess I would agree." ”

Because of Liao Zhuyin's matter, there are too many rumors in the imperial city, and if Miss Chen Si wants to marry Rong Ting, she will definitely be affected, and she will be talked about, leaving the Imperial City to avoid these rights and wrongs, and it is good for Miss Chen Si, when she comes back in a few years, these rumors will become a thing of the past.

"If you can agree, that's for the best." Duchess Rong Guo swept her eyes around, and said slowly, "But the girl is willing to marry you at this time, you have to treat others well in the future, and don't let the family be wronged." ”

Rong Ting nodded: "Naturally, it won't." Since he has thought about it and is willing to get married, he will naturally treat others well.

"But Ah Xiao here, did you tell him about you wanting to marry a wife? What does he think? ”

"I told him and he had no problem."

Rong Ting naturally asked Rong Xiao, and also mentioned it to the Chen family, if Miss Chen marries, he also hopes that she can help take care of Rong Xiao, this is a matter agreed by both parties.
