Chapter Ninety-Eight: Snubbing Qingqiu
A few days later, when it was time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family was busy preparing for a Mid-Autumn Festival. The Huyan family and the Murong family are preparing items for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Huyan family seems to be a little deserted this year, after all, Huyan's father and son are on the way to an expedition. The news came from the front that they were on their way to the Western Regions, and they had not yet encountered a strong enemy along the way, but some robbers in the mountains fled after knowing that the army was coming.
Since the father and son left, the old and young of the Huyan family have been thinking about them in their hearts. Mrs. Huyan was even more uneasy and uneasy, and every day she burned a few incense sticks in front of the portraits of her ancestors, prayed for them, and blessed the father and son to return safely.
And the Murong family across the wall, although General Murong commanded the housekeepers and servants in the mansion to prepare things for the festival, there was always a trace of displeasure on his face.
Others didn't know what was going on, but General Murong was silent.
Murong Xiu found that her father was a little depressed, and couldn't help but speculate secretly: "Could it be that my father is troubled by Yuxi's refusal to marry Pang Hu?" If you want me to say, this Yuxi really doesn't know what to do, and even a rich and noble family like Pang Hu can't look down on her, does she really want to marry Ruiqi?"
But Murong Xiu thought about it for a while, and smiled secretly: "But Yuxi is like this, I am also relaxed, it is not necessarily a bad thing for her to marry Ruiqi."
Yuxi and Riich are consensual, then I can naturally push off this marriage, so I don't have to worry about marrying Riich. Maybe Ruilin will come to the door to propose, so that I can get what I want. ”
And Yuxi also found that her father was not as happy as before.
In the past, during the New Year's holidays, my father was always busy directing everyone to prepare everything, although he worked hard, but his face was always filled with a smile that could not be concealed, and this year his father looked a little lonely.
Yuxi secretly wondered: "Could it be that I rejected my father's proposal too simply that day, so my father was a little unhappy." But although the Pang family sent a lot of gifts, I was not interested in that Pang Hu at all.
I have no way of knowing what kind of person he is, and how can I agree to marry him?
If Daddy is unhappy about this, then I can't help it. You must know that marriage is a lifelong thing, how can I be a girl who can agree to others casually. Alas, there's no way around it!"
Although Yuxi regretted a little that her father was worried about this family matter, it was impossible for her to agree to Pang Hu's proposal like this, after all, Yuxi was in love with Ruiqi, how could she meet the wealth and agree to Pang Hu.
In fact, what Murong Zhongyong was thinking in his heart, only he knew, and his troubles were not something that others could easily see.
In the evening, the Huyan family sat around the table and ate a table full of sumptuous delicacies.
These are the dinners carefully prepared by the old chef of the house, and a variety of dishes fill the round table.
The old chef knew that this year's head of the house was not in the house, and the rest of the family would inevitably miss the father and son who were outside on this important festival, so in order to let these people have a satisfactory dinner, he deliberately made this year's dishes more different, so that they could have a surprise and relieve a little worry.
When these delicacies were brought to the table, everyone's eyes lit up, and they were amazed at the amazing craftsmanship of the old chef who made such a sumptuous and delicious dish.
But Mrs. Huyan was not happy, although she beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat it while it was hot, but she couldn't raise her appetite, she just slowly picked up a few chopsticks and vegetables, put them in her mouth and chewed them carefully, but she didn't necessarily show a happy smile on her face.
Everyone didn't seem to be very happy when they saw Mrs. Huyan, knowing that she missed General Huyan and Ruiqi who had left home, so everyone didn't speak loudly, just silently tasted those steaming dishes.
Ruilin knew his mother's thoughts, he sat next to his mother, and whispered to Mrs. Huyan: "Mother, eat quickly, wait for the food to be cold." Father and Brother Ricky are fine, and when I heard the news, they are all safe now, so don't worry too much. ”
Mrs. Huyan slowly glanced at Ruilin, and said earnestly: "Ruilin, my mother knows that you care about me, but their father and son are going to war." Since ancient times, swords and guns have not been long-sighted, and your father is old, how can I not be worried?"
Ruilin heard his mother worrying about his father like this, and sighed slightly: "Mother, in fact, everyone knows that Daddy is a winning general, and there are few battles that cannot be won.
This time, Brother Ruiqi is also with him, so he will naturally take care of his father, and his brother is also a martial artist, so they may come back with a big victory together. ”
When the others saw Ruilin say this, they echoed and said: "Yes, they will definitely win and return to the court, and my father has no battle that he can't win." ”
Mrs. Huyan responded, and beckoned everyone: "Eat, eat, let's not mention this matter first, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone eats happily, and it is not in vain that the old chef has worked hard for so long to get a table of meals, let's eat happily!"
So everyone you have a chopstick, and I eat with a chopstick.
And in the Murong family, the big guy is also eating hotly. The whole family, including the servants, sat around and ate the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at several large tables.
The servants drank wine and ate meat, talked about various topics together, and from time to time there was intermittent laughter from the table.
General Murong's family sat around the round table in the middle of the guest hall, eating delicious food. General Murong kept pouring wine and pouring himself drinks.
Yuxi and Murong Xiu sat around their father, eating their meals elegantly.
After Murong Zhongyong's son toasted his father with a few glasses of wine, he didn't see his father's hearty smile in the past, but silently drank wine and ate food, so he felt a little bored, so he also ate by himself, while discussing with Murong Xiu about waiting to go out to admire the moon.
Yuxi sat there and heard Murong Xiu talking about the moon after dinner, so she also came up with the idea of going to the town for a walk.
Since her father was so unhappy, she also felt that the meal was not interesting.
So Yuxi chewed slowly and ate some of the dried bamboo shoots and shredded pork and braised carp that she usually liked, and didn't eat anything more.
Murong Xiu didn't invite Yuxi to go with them, and Yuxi was also very interested, so she didn't ask to take her out with her.
Yuxi plans to wait and go to the town with the nurse to see the night view of the town.
On this Mid-Autumn Festival night, perhaps those big and small vendors will come out to set up stalls and put out some dazzling small items for people to buy.
After Murong Zhongyong finished eating, he returned to the study alone, sitting quietly in front of the window alone, tasting this year's autumn tea.
