On the morning of 12 August, he went to his uncle's house and Jiang Yun's house to give gifts to him, and also gave gifts to Mr. Chen Jing. On the morning of August 13, I went to Lujia Town, climbed over the wall, and sent a festival gift to my teacher Lu Duan and kept food.

In the afternoon of the same day, the county wished the yamen welfare.

Zhou Ang received two catties of tea, one horse of blessing silk, one horse of plain silk, two sets of clothes and hats, two pairs of boots, two urns of Liyang spring wine, two urns of fruit wine, two urns of private brewing, one stone of rice, twenty catties of white flour, twenty catties of dry goods of various colors, one hundred catties of charcoal, four live chickens, four live ducks, two geese, and one sheep.

In addition, Zhou Ang also divided about fifty or sixty catties of roast pork specially sent by Baoguo Temple.

It is said that Zhou Ang's collar is second only to the county Zhu Gaojing, only Du Yi is the same as him, and everyone else is slightly inferior.

Lu Chunsheng also got a little bit of a ritual, but the portion was much less than Zhou Ang's, mostly concentrated on rice, noodles, chickens and ducks, silk and silk, in short, the valuable ones didn't have his share.

But for him, it was already a major gain for the first time in his life.

Lu Chunsheng came to the car and loaded a large cart of the two of them's things before pulling them away.

In order to prevent discussion in the market, a layer of cloth was specially covered on the car to cover it up a little.

On 14 August, the yamen was officially closed.

In the morning, several groups of gift-givers came.

The eldest brother Zhou Ye took his sister-in-law and a pair of children to come over to Zhou Cai's greetings and gifts, Jiang Yun and Jiang Bodao and his wife came to the door in person, greeted and gave gifts, Wei Ci came to send a bundle of good new paper, and a few snacks to eat. This is a sign of extreme intimacy. Subsequently, Chen Tuo came to worship with a gift that was far heavier than Zhou Ang gave to his father Chen Jing, and also ascended to worship his mother......

There are three festivals, namely the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, at least in Datang, and the theme of each festival is undoubtedly reunion.

Therefore, the Boxing gifts should be given, but after sending the Boxing gifts, they did not leave food, and everyone tacitly left the next three days for their relatives.

If you want to talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's finally time for a holiday, and our brothers have been busy recently, so let's get together for a drink in a small bar in the past two days - that's not okay, if you invite people, they may laugh at you.

Major festivals, although it is necessary to visit relatives and friends, and say goodbye to each other's health, but it is never the time for friends to get together and drink a lot.

On such an important holiday, do you want to get drunk and accompany your family with an ugly look?

In this era, in Datang, this will be ridiculed.

Therefore, even if he was left for a gift at his teacher's house, Zhou Ang only accompanied the old man to drink a few glasses, but he didn't drink much, but he just agreed with the old man that he would come over to drink with him on August 16.

This is the first time that Zhou Ang has had the Mid-Autumn Festival in this world since he crossed over.

Therefore, he himself is more important.

For the entire Zhou family, the situation of the whole family in the past six months has almost reached the sky, from the poverty in the spring, to the current mansion to live in, life is healthy, naturally it is worth celebrating.

Even for the Lu Jin family, who belonged to the Zhou family, since their small family returned to the wing of the Zhou family, they felt that their life was moving forward steadily in a stable manner.

After discussing with my mother and sister, everyone unanimously agreed that they would no longer go to the uncle's house for the holiday, and that they would have an independent Mid-Autumn Festival as a small family.

So before the festival, Zhou Cai's and Lu Yuan's worked together to make a lot of interesting food, some of which were given away by Zhou Ang as a festival gift, and the remaining part was eaten a lot by Zhou Zihe, but there were still a lot of left, and then they made some instant meals on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Chunsheng sent a car, and Zhou Ang, together with Zhou Cai's and Zhou Zihe, took a car to Zhou Ang's uncle's house, not only greeting Uncle Zhou An and his wife, but also loading a lot of the benefits he received from the yamen and sending them over.

In Zhou Ang's view, this is not only a problem of the concept of family and kinship advocated in this era, but also the problem of gratitude in his mind.

That night, the two families of six sat together to eat, drink, gossip and admire the moon, in the center could not help but reminisce about the past and imagine the future, and when they returned to their rooms, everyone got the satisfaction, happiness and conversion they needed - perhaps, this is the meaning of the festival.

Zhou Zihe said: The roast pork in Baoguo Temple is the best.

............

It is also the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Du Mansion, partial courtyard.

Du Su was alone admiring the moon by the window.

At this moment, it is naturally a lively family reunion outside, but Du Mian, the head of the Du family, was furious about his daughter's runaway that day, since she came back, not only ordered a ban, not even the yard was allowed, and to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival such a family reunion festival, he still did not change the ban, in the morning Du Su said that he was going to kowtow to his father and mother to say hello, the news reached Du Mian, and he was reprimanded by him, the master of the Du family: how could she have a home in her heart!

So, in the afternoon, someone brought some snacks from the kitchen, and in the evening, the usual dishes were a little richer, but that was all.

This time the Du family was reunited, and Du Su was turned away.

Until noon, the girl looked a little sad, but by the afternoon, her mood had obviously begun to improve, and in the evening, her own mother, one of Du Mian's concubines, came over secretly to meet her and reassure her.

Those words are all clichés among women in this era, such as "Since your father has made an idea, you have to obey orders, what can you do?", such as "Isn't our women's family all here like this?", and "Don't do this in the future!" and so on.

For Du Su at this time, this is really not a consolation.

If in the past, she was a deep woman, after all, her knowledge was limited, even if she didn't agree with it in her heart, it was difficult for her to clearly and clearly state her thoughts and goals, so she was mostly silent.

And now, she has a plan in her heart, and her usual temperament makes her not in a hurry to refute anything, but listens to her mother's nagging with a smile, and even takes the initiative to comfort her.

When dinner was over, she kicked out the only acquaintance she was waiting for, the maid Xiaohong, and sat in front of the window by herself, opened the window, looked at the bright moonlight outside, and was alone in a daze.

There are many plans in her heart, if in the past, she would feel that she must have been perfect, but now, she knows that her plan must be full of loopholes, and in the face of reality, she must not be able to withstand a light touch.

But she wasn't in a hurry.

According to her plan, she needs to stabilize for a short time, and when her father's anger subsides and she regains a little freedom initially, she should find a way to get in touch with someone outside—this person, of course, is Zhou Ang, her lover who is not married to you—and then she can think of anything else.

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was facing the moon, listening to the faint noise outside, feeling the loneliness of being alone, and her mood was inevitably a little low.

No matter how assertive, goal-oriented and idealistic she is, she is still just a seventeen-year-old girl after all.

She's grown to that big, and she's never really left home once.

So it is conceivable that in such an important festival, in the past, she herself was always one of the affectionate people, even the one held in the palm of her hand, but now she is confined in such a small cross-courtyard and isolated outside this home, her mood is really impossible to get better.

But she didn't cry.

She listened quietly to the faint noise outside, and for a moment she recalled the excitement of the past, and for a moment she couldn't help thinking of the tall and handsome man bathed in the morning light.

Sometimes my heart is sour and lonely, sometimes I feel that my heart is as sweet as honey, and I feel that the future is bright.

She was so stunned, she didn't even change her sitting posture, and before she knew it, the moon shadow was near, and when she came back to her senses, she listened to it, but found that even the vague excitement outside had already dispersed, and her body seemed to be a little numb in her legs and feet because of sitting for a long time.

She let out a long sigh, propped up her hand on the case, and stood up.

At this moment, a voice suddenly said behind her: "Miss is sitting alone, sighing from time to time, isn't she lamenting the injustice of destiny, she is obviously as beautiful as a flower, but how can she be a concubine?"

As soon as these words came out, Du Su was shocked.

She looked back sharply - before she wanted to admire the moon, not only drove the maid Xiaohong to the side room, but even deliberately blew out all the candles, now she saw that she was under the moonlight, but the room was dark, and she couldn't see anything clearly—"Who? Who is talking there?" she said.

There was a low laugh.

Suddenly, four or five candles in the room lit up at the same time, and the light was bright for a while.

Du Su was so shocked that he subconsciously took half a step back, but he happened to be on the small case in front of the window. After her eyes dodged for a moment, she really turned her head to look, but saw a middle-aged woman standing in the room with a smile on her face.

She was stunned for a moment, "Mama Fang, why are you ...... You ......"

The middle-aged woman, surnamed Fang, had been sent to the house for as long as she could remember, and had even been assigned to her room for four or five years, until last year, when she was sent elsewhere.

And although their Du family is not small, but after all, it is only a local gentry, she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, no matter how much her parents value it, the number of people in the courtyard is limited, and she has been with this grandmother for many years, and she is still relatively familiar with this grandmother - her previous relationship with this grandmother was even quite good.

Hearing this at this time, the grandmother said: "Miss, don't worry, don't be afraid! I will never harm your heart!"

After a pause, she said: "Just because your grandfather saved my life back then, I vowed to serve your Du clan for twenty years, protect the peace of your family, and repay your kindness." Now, seeing that the twenty-year period is approaching, I am about to leave, but I can only rest assured of you, so I came to see you before leaving. ”

"Miss, do you need my help?"
