The Mei family has a total of two male servants and three maids, Lin Yu is easy and easy-going, and there is always no distinction between master and servant in weekday meals. After the meal was served, Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue also arrived home.

Lin Yu ordered everyone to sit down together, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, although the old man is dead, but life has a career, it is a natural number, and the surviving do not have to be too sad." This year's holiday is still the same as in previous years. I'll arrange my affairs and go my separate ways after dinner. ”

Several girls and servants got up together and said, "Madame, please." ”

Lin Yu said: "Uncle Chen, Ah Gen and Cai'er sprinkled and swept the courtyard at home, cleaned up inside and out, and removed the white flowers in the hall. The lord must not want the family to live miserably in the spirit of the sky. "The old servant and Agen, Cai'er readily agreed.

Lin Yu said again: "Xiaoyue and Jinhua went to the city to buy some new wine and came back, and they also bought some incense and candles for fruit, which they will use to worship the moon tomorrow night." The two girls also agreed happily.

Mei Ruoxue hurriedly said: "Then what are I doing with my cousin?" Lin Yu said: "You young people like to be lively, your cousin and you two should also go along, the city will definitely be very lively today." ”

Lin Fengsheng said happily: "I heard that there are dragon lanterns on the street to guess lantern riddles, but I really want to go and see it." ”

Cai'er said with a smile: "Young Master Cousin, you don't understand this, the lantern guessing puzzle will wait until tomorrow night, the city is everywhere, all kinds of things, all night long, that's fun." ”

Xiao Yue also said: "Yes, Young Master Fengsheng, we will go together after worshipping the moon tomorrow night." If you guess correctly, you will have cakes and fruits to eat. ”

Lin Fengsheng said happily: "Okay, let's go together, and my aunt will go too." Mei Ruoxue said angrily: "You go with Cai'er and Xiaoyue, then who will accompany me." ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "You naturally go with you." Jin Hua said: "Hey, Young Master Fengsheng is not happy to go with us Miss, then we won't go tomorrow, let Miss and Young Master Fengsheng go alone." ”

Mei Ruoxue couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that she and Lin Fengsheng wanted to go alone, but after all, she was a girl who had just fallen in love, and suddenly felt very shy, so she hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, that's not good." Let's all go together, as long as we don't leave me alone. ”

Cai'er said: "Madam, look, Miss is shy, Miss is shy." The crowd laughed together. Lin Yu smiled silently, just pointed the tip of Diancai'er's nose with his index finger.

Mei Ruoxue blushed with shame, and said hurriedly: "Whoever makes fun of me again, I will point to someone's laughing hole and make her laugh enough." He said with the tip of his fingers and made a gesture. The girls knew that she was good at kung fu, so they hurriedly laughed and ran away.

Lin Yu smiled: "Okay, don't make trouble, let's eat." A few girls chattered for a while, and then served a bowl to eat.

In Lanxi City, the atmosphere of the festival is much stronger than a few days ago. The colorful buildings in front of the shops have been renovated to sell all kinds of seasonal fruits and wines, and the streets and alleys are full of children playing and playing.

Lin Fengsheng, Mei Ruoxue, Xiao Yue and Jin Hua entered the city, and Xiao Yue said, "Miss, let's go buy some fruits first, they won't be fresh in the afternoon." Mei Ruoxue said: "Okay, it's not delicious if it's not fresh, and it's not good to worship the moon." ”

Jin Hua said: "You and Miss go to buy fruits, and Young Master Fengsheng and I go to buy new wine." ”

Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "When it comes to wine, I'm a connoisseur, I know that there is a wine shop not far from Lu Road, and the wine there is good." ”

Mei Ruoxue stretched out her index finger and scratched her cheek and said, "What kind of expert, one year when you came, my father asked us to come and sell wine, and you only drank a few sips before getting drunk." I'm not ashamed. ”

Jin Hua said: "I remembered, as soon as the young master went home, he went back to his room to sleep, and he didn't even eat, and the lord and Mrs. also said that you were sick, and I was worried for a long time." ”

Lin Fengsheng's face turned red and said, "That was my first time drinking, and I was too strong to drink." I've been drinking a lot of alcohol now. Besides, you don't have to be a big deal to be an expert. ”

Mei Ruoxue said: "It's better for Jinhua and Xiaoyue to go to buy a bar, and we will go to buy fruits, so that you won't be greedy and sick again." After saying that, he laughed and trembled.

Xiao Yue untied a small bamboo basket from her back and said, "Young Master Cousin, it's good to use this outfit when you buy something." ”

Mei Ruoxue took the bamboo basket and put it on her back, pulled up Lin Fengsheng's sleeves and left, walked a few steps and turned back to Xiaoyue and Jinhua and said: "The new wine for the festival will go to the wine shop that my cousin said to buy it, it is the one we often buy, buy a few catties of pomegranate wine and wine." Jinhua and Xiaoyue answered, carrying the gourd containing the wine and went by themselves.

Mei Ruoxue pulled Lin Fengsheng to a few fruit shops, only picking fresh and watery ones to buy, what perfume pears, silver silk dates, chestnuts, yellow seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, watermelons, full of baskets.

Mei Ruoxue pointed to a shop not far away and said, "The fruits have almost been bought, the cakes and candles Xiaoyue and Jinhua will go to buy them, let's go over there and buy moonshine paper to play." ”

Moonlight paper is a kind of thin paper with a pattern, on which is painted the moon is painted on the Bodhisattva, the back is painted with the moon wheel laurel hall, and in the middle there is a rabbit man pounding medicine, which is generally burned after worshipping the moon.

Lin Fengsheng has a young heart, and he readily agreed. The two bought a thick stack of moonshine paper and came out happily, while Xiaoyue and Jinhua were already waiting outside the store. Xiao Yue was carrying four or five wine gourds in her hand, and the small bamboo basket on Jinhua's back was also full of goods.

Mei Ruoxue asked, "Have you bought everything?" Xiao Yue said: "The new wine is ready, and the pomegranate wine and wine have each been added." Jin Hua also said: "I also bought more cakes than in previous years, and it was specially ordered by Mrs. Biao, saying that the young master must buy more when he comes." It's like the young master is particularly able to eat. Giggled.

Mei Ruoxue said "very good", and said with a smile: "Of course he can eat, you don't know how to eat, my cousin was barbaric when he was a child." I remember one year my mother took me back to my uncle's house for the New Year, and my aunt killed a chicken, and each chicken only had two chicken legs. Later, when he finished eating his own one, he came and grabbed me, and of course I cried when he robbed me, and then my uncle spanked his ass. Ha Lu Ha. Xiao Yue and Jin Hua also giggled when they heard this.

Lin Fengsheng blushed and said: "I don't remember, you still remember the things of your childhood, it is really a small belly." Mei Ruoxue smiled: "I want to remember, but it may not be a small belly chicken intestine." Lin Fengsheng was helpless, turned around and played with the clay puppet on a stall, and deliberately ignored her.

Mei Ruoxue gave the basket to Xiao Yue and said, "You and Jinhua go back first, and bring these moonshine papers back with you, don't lose them." Xiao Yue and Jin Hua asked in unison, "Do you have our share?"

Mei Ruoxue said: "Naturally, there are two tickets for one person." Go back and give it to Cai'er and Agen, Uncle Chen doesn't have to give it to him, he is a lot older, and he doesn't like children's things. The two girls went happily with the goods for the holiday.

Mei Ruoxue said: "Don't you want to guess the lantern riddle? I know that there is a shop in front of the road to guess, and if you guess correctly, you will send a lantern, and if you guess wrong, you will have to spend money to buy it." ”

Lin Fengsheng was full of interest when he heard this, and said, "Where is it, let's go." ”

The two came to a lantern shop, and the name of the shop said: Mysterious Man. Lin Fengsheng said in his heart: "This name is very good, it not only sells lamps but also guesses lantern riddles, which is a pun." It's just that no matter how charming your lantern is, it's hard to say whether this lantern riddle is confusing others. "At the moment, I am shaking my clothes and glad.

At this time, thirty or forty people had already gathered at the door, old and young, women and children, rich and poor. Only listen to the appearance of a shopkeeper humanitarian: "The later guest officers listened, I reiterate the rules of the shop to guess the riddle for the lamp, all the lanterns in the store are written on a lantern riddle, you can choose to guess the puzzle at will, guess the above riddle can get the corresponding lantern, if you guess wrong, not only can not get the lamp, but also have to pay the price of the lamp." Do you understand?" and everyone agreed, and they all understood.

Lin Fengsheng squeezed forward and said, "Shopkeeper, is there a time limit for this riddle?" The shopkeeper said: "There is no time limit for guessing the riddle, you can think about it slowly." The crowd applauded.

Lin Fengsheng said again: "What if several people look at the same lantern at the same time?" The shopkeeper said: "Those who guess the riddle correctly get the lantern, and those who guess the wrong ones not only don't get the lantern, but also have to pay according to the price." Lin Fengsheng nodded and said, "What if everyone guesses correctly?" The shopkeeper said: "Don't worry about this, there is still exactly the same stock in the store, and if you guess correctly, you can get the lamp." ”
