Chapter 617: Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Night
(two-in-one) Lin Hu was talking, holding the oil and water from the big chicken leg in his hand, and he ate with relish.
Lu Wu said angrily on the side: "Eat slowly, and no one will rob you." Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Lin Hu said: "Sister Green Dance, you don't know. I've had a hard time doing it. There is no time for a good meal. The eldest and second masters set the rules, and the meals at home were simple. Three vegetarian dishes, one meat and one soup per meal, and no waste is allowed. I haven't eaten this chicken leg like this for a long time. ”
Guo Caiwei was stunned and said, "What is the second uncle doing?" Do you have to save so much on a meal? ”
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "Yes, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this. It's also too economical. When I heard this, I was a little embarrassed. We're still extravagant and wasteful, and we're not saving at all. ”
Guo Caiwei glanced at him and said, "I can't save it, and there's no need for that." Our Lin family is really going to the point where we have to save even on food, so what else do we say? Ming'er, I will go back to my parents' house and tell my father and brother that if they force our Lin family to save on food, I will go out to ask for food and lose their face. ”
Lin Jue laughed and said: "You don't want to make your father and brother unhappy, they originally had a big opinion on me, and they didn't think I instigated it?" The brothers settle the accounts, how the contract is made, how to execute, and how much silver should be repaid. Besides, the Lin family also needs to go through such a process, otherwise everyone will be comfortable and don't know how to live a hard life. ”
Guo Caiwei pouted and said: "My husband just wants to save face, and my family is not short of that bit of silver." ”
Lin Jue smiled and didn't answer, and said in his heart: That's not a matter of silver, the Lin family must have external pressure now, and it also needs to go through this process if he wants to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family. If the pressure is reduced now, some people are afraid that there will be moths again. I don't know what I want to see.
"Uncle, the uncles, aunts, and brothers in each room are very happy to learn the news that the uncle is the head of the family, and the uncle's reputation in the Lin family is very good. When I was in Hangzhou, they all told me that they wanted me to tell my uncle when I came to the capital, and asked you to take a time to go back to your hometown in Hangzhou. They all want to see you. Lin Hu wiped his mouth and said.
Lin Jue smiled: "Yes, I should go back, but it's a pity that I am on official business and have no leisure." As the head of the family, at this time, I should sit in Hangzhou and encourage everyone to be talented. But I'm not good at it. I'll find time to go back though. ”
Lin Hu said: "That's it, you should go back." It's not just my uncle who is the head of the family, but my uncle is the champion of my Great Zhou Dynasty. Did you pay back the champion? There is one in three years, and there are only dozens of them in my big week. It is unique in Hangzhou. What a glory it is. It's like what the second master said, what is rich, what is returning to the hometown, what clothes or something. ”
"What, what? That is called wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, just like brocade clothes walking at night. Xiaohu, you really read some books, otherwise it will be difficult to do things in the future. Midori said with disgust.
Lin Hu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I said, Sister Green Dance still reads a lot." ”
Lin Jue smiled: "That's not it, like you before, you can't read a few big characters, let alone read." It's only been more than two years now, and I write dignified and delicate, and I've read a lot of books. I'm afraid I've read a lot of books in my study. ”
"Thirty-seven and a half." Green Dance said proudly. This is indeed the thing she is most proud of. I think she didn't know any words at the beginning, but now she can read and write, and she has experienced the joy of reading.
Lin Jue laughed, and he was also smug in his heart. Sometimes when you think about it, fate is quite wonderful. In the last life, Green Dance died unexpectedly, and at this point in time, grass has grown on the grave. And in this life, she not only lives well, but also lives more and more excitingly. Sometimes I think about it, although I haven't accomplished any great things in this life, even if I have won the champion, I actually have not made any progress. But just saving Green Dance, Huanqiu and Xiaohu's family is enough to be proud. Of course, this is not enough, the reversal of personal destiny is often in an instant, and it is necessary to grasp the direction of destiny, which can be regarded as a real achievement.
"Xiaohu came back just in time. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we can be regarded as a family reunion. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the semicolon opened. Xiaohu should be more attentive. Lin Jue said.
"Uncle, don't worry, Xiaohu is not the same as before, Xiaohu has figured it out, if you want to do big things, you can't mess around like this for a lifetime." Lin Hu nodded.
"Ho. Xiaohu has opened his mind. Midori laughed.
……
The two days passed quickly, and the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 came in the blink of an eye. Lin Jue's mansion has been preparing for a few days to hold a big party to admire the moon in the back garden. Lin Jue felt that the idea was good, if he could invite relatives and friends to enjoy the bright moon together, it would also be a good opportunity to enhance his relationship. Lin Jue's first thought was to borrow Fang Dunru and his wife and Huanqiu to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. For this reason, he made a special trip to Fang's house in Yulin Lane. However, this idea was soon shattered by reality.
Fang Dunru told Lin Jue that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the saint would hold a moon-viewing banquet in the palace, and all the important ministers of the court and the central government would go, and Fang Dunru was also invited, so he could not go to Lin Jue's house to participate. Not only Fang Dunru was going, but his wife and Huanqiu were also allowed to enter the palace to participate in the moon viewing banquet, so even they couldn't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Lin Jue.
Lin Jue was very disappointed, and Fang Huanqiu was even more disappointed. When Lin Jue was sent away, Huanqiu was about to cry. Lin Jue had to find a secluded place to comfort her, and promised her to find an opportunity to remedy. There is no way to deal with this kind of thing. The sky and the earth are big, and the emperor is the biggest. If he wants to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, other people's families can only reunite him, whether he is angry or unhappy, there is no way to do it. In fact, Lin Jue also saw Fang Dunru's attitude, he was actually very happy to enter the palace to accompany the emperor for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lin Jue even felt that even if there was no Holy Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang Dunru might not agree. The Holy Feast only gave him an excellent excuse.
Lin Jue was very helpless, he obviously felt that the relationship between himself and Fang Dunru was on the verge of collapse. He may be responsible, because he did disagree with Fang Dunru several times, and he also said a lot of excessive things and did a lot of excessive things. But is this responsibility just one's own? Is there any responsibility of the gentleman himself?
On the way back, Lin Jue suddenly remembered something. The saint held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and the prince's family will definitely be invited to the palace. On the day of the reunion, King Guo Bing and Sheng Shang are brothers, the two siblings born to the Queen Mother, how could they not invite King Liang and them into the palace? So isn't it true that even Cai Wei is going to enter the palace? And what about yourself? Is it possible that the son-in-law of the palace wants to enter the palace himself? If you enter the palace, then the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at home will still be a fart? Everyone is looking forward to tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and when the time comes, it will be such a result, isn't it disappointing for everyone?
Lin Jue hit the horse and returned home, and when he returned to the back house, he saw that the little county lord and Lu Wu were sitting in the hall with sad faces, and when they saw Lin Jue, the little county lord hurriedly got up and said: "Husband, it's annoying, my father sent someone to send a letter, and asked me to ...... tonight."
"Going to the palace for a banquet?" Lin Jue said.
"Huh, how do you know?" The little county lord was surprised. Lu Wu also looked at Lin Jue in surprise.
"Hey, I just came back from Yulin Lane, and my husband's family is going to the palace tonight for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Your family is the family of the prince, how can you not be invited? Lin Jue sat down and picked up Caiwei's teacup and took a few sips of herbal tea.
"It's so annoying, I don't want to go. It's all ready, tonight in the back garden we have a happy reunion and moon appreciation, but we have to enter the palace. The little county lord sat beside him and pursed his red lips.
Lu Wu made tea for Lin Jue and stood aside and said, "Sister County Lord, it's inappropriate not to go on that occasion." It's also good to have a son at home to take us to admire the moon. ”
Lin Jue was stunned, frowned and asked, "What does that mean...... Cai Wei entered the palace, but I was not invited? ”
Guo Caiwei said angrily: "But isn't it? That's why I feel so rude. Isn't this a clear indication of not giving face to your husband? In any case, you are also the son-in-law of my palace, why don't you invite you to the palace? And this is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after my husband and I got married, and we are going to separate, what is this? ”
Lin Jue was quite surprised, this arrangement was very strange. When he and Cai Wei got married, they had already entered the palace once. That means that the royal family has approved this marriage, and this time he only invited Cai Wei and not himself, which is obviously contempt for himself. But this is a bit unreasonable. It doesn't make sense that the saint has done it so obviously, even if he is not guilty of King Liang, he doesn't have to do it. Sprinkle anger on your own head, and it will give people the feeling of a small family.
"Wei'er, you just go, it's just right that I don't go. If I'm gone, how will I meet tonight? I took them to the back garden to admire the moon. There's nothing to be angry about, we can't enjoy the moon together this year, and the year after next year, our days are still long. Lin Jue comforted.
Guo Caiwei frowned and said: "No, I won't go, if they don't give you face, they won't give me face, what else will I do?" I ordered someone to refuse. ”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "This ...... Not so good. This is a defiance of the will of God. ”
Guo Caiwei shouted, "I...... I...... Do you want to go when you're sick? I just said that I was sick and bedridden, and the emperor still had to toss the sick to participate? ”
"That's a good idea. The county lord's sister said that she was sick and couldn't enter the palace, and she needed to recuperate. Midori nodded in approval.
Guo Caiwei was encouraged, and immediately got up and shouted outside, "Someone is coming." ”
"The county lord, please command." Two handmaidens hurriedly appeared to salute.
"Go, send someone back to the old palace to report to my father, just say that I am sick and need to recuperate, and I can't enter the palace tonight." The little county lord commanded.
"Yes!" The maidservants curtsied, turned to arrange for someone to deliver the letter, and the little lord stopped them.
"Slowly, tell the messenger that if they ask what the disease is, they will say that it is a contagious cold, and that it will infect others in a crowded place. So I couldn't enter the palace, so as not to infect the people who attended the Mid-Autumn Festival. The little county lord waved his white palm and said.
"Yes!" The handmaid withdrew.
The little county lord turned around and came back, looking at the stunned Lin Jue with joy and said, "What's the matter?" Isn't that the solution? ”
Lin Jue pointed tall and said: "Admire, I don't hesitate to curse myself for being sick, I admire it very much." ”
"I haven't said I have leprosy, and they are scared to death and they don't dare to invite me to go. I'm afraid that I'll brag too much, and my father and mother will come to visit and be exposed. Okay now, I'm not going to attack, Green Dance, come with me, and we'll continue to discuss the evening. Let's go to the back garden, it's time for people to get ready. ”
Green Dance agreed crisply, and a wife and a concubine went out muttering, leaving Lin Jue with a wry smile on his face.
The day was in a hurry, and it was late in the evening. The Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing activity on the streets of Beijing has begun. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people spontaneously hung lanterns, not to do any lantern viewing activities, but just a festive atmosphere. Before the sun sets, the lanterns in front of the shops and buildings on the street are already lit up one after another. After the sun sets, the streets of the entire capital are dotted with lights, like the stars in the sky, which is beautiful.
When the sun sets in the west, the sky immediately becomes solemn and deep, and above the palace in the east, a bright moon has appeared in people's field of vision. As the afterglow of the sun disappears, the full moon becomes clearer and more beautiful like a golden disk, sprinkling thousands of miles of clear light into the human world.
At this time, countless families enjoyed a round of bright moon and talked about the joy of reunion. Countless wanderers and travelers also began to feel homesick for the moon and felt uncomfortable. Countless literati and scholars were also particularly full of thoughts at this time, and their thoughts were myriad. They will also recite countless poems that express their feelings, many of which will be passed on to future generations.
In the back house of the Lin family, there are already a crowd of people gathered at this moment, and they are full of friends. In the open space in the middle, plans have been made since noon according to the instructions of the main mother Guo Caiwei. On the west side is a long table made up of several long tables. There are things like snacks and fruits on it. Three maidservants are responsible for the special supply of melons, fruits, snacks and tea. Not far away, in the center, there are three large round tables with white tablecloths and spring stools next to them. This is the moon viewing area.
At this moment, the guests have been seated, and the melons and fruits are flowing on the table. The sound of chattering in the garden, the sound of warblers and swallows, are endless.
The guests who arrived today were actually not outsiders, in addition to Lin Jue and Guo Caiwei, the three husbands and wives, Xie Yingying, Xie Danhong, Red Sleeves, Qin Xiaoxiao, Zheng Nuanyu, Qian Liuer, Bai Bing, Qianqian and other women arrived together. There is also a moon viewing table for men in the front yard. Most of the people invited were musicians, painters and some managers in the Grand Theater. In addition, more than 30 Lin guys who had recently arrived from Hangzhou and had left their hometowns also had seats to sit in.
Lin Jue's purpose is not to hold a big banquet, but to invite these uprooted people to reunite together on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which not only enhances the relationship, but also sends a different kind of homesickness on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This kind of humane move is absolutely advantageous.
In fact, the vast majority of the women at the three tables are really homeless. Except for Lin Jue and Guo Caiwei Green Dance, some of the rest of the people were born in Qinglou, some lost their parents since they were young, and some have been adrift and worked hard for many years. Therefore, this kind of gathering is necessary.
The table was also filled with pots and pans of food. In addition to moon cakes, most of the melons and fruits on the table are suitable for the occasion. Pomegranate lotus pod, grape pear, peanut melon seeds, sweet lotus, in short, there should be, and there should be a lot of them. The wine was drunk from the Hu merchants of the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions who transported it to the capital. Not long ago, Lin Jue specially ordered dozens of tall glass cups, which were used for drinking wine. Because drinking wine is very good for women, it is beautiful and has a nourishing effect on the reproductive system of the ovaries, so Lin Jue has always suggested that the county lord and Lu Wu have a drink before going to bed, and now both of them have formed a habit.
The moon is getting brighter, and the feast is about to begin. Lin Jue sat in the master's seat with a smile on his face, and was about to order the lights of the audience to be extinguished, and when he was drinking by the bright moonlight. Suddenly, on the way from the rockery, two maidservants carried lanterns to escort a cloaked figure slowly coming.
One of the maidservants stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words to Lin Jue, who stood up with a surprised smile on his face.
"Huh? How did she get here? ”
The little county lord also stood up and said, "Who?" ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Senior Sister Huanqiu." ”
The little county lord frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you entered the palace to participate in the banquet?" ”
Lin Jue said: "Yes, so strange. ”
As she spoke, the person in the cloak had already approached, and she lifted the cloak, revealing a bright and pretty face, and said happily: "Oh, there are so many people, so lively." ”
Lin Jue stepped forward and saluted, "Senior sister, why are you here?" ”
Fang Huanqiu hurriedly saluted Lin Jue, saw the little county lord, and saluted Guo Caiwei with some embarrassment. Guo Caiwei was naturally generous, took Fang Huanqiu's hand and said with a smile: "Didn't Sister Huanqiu say that she entered the palace to participate in the moon viewing banquet?" What's going on? ”
Fang Huanqiu smiled: "I didn't go." I don't like to go to that kind of place. ”
Lin Jue smiled: "If you don't go, you won't go?" Sir didn't force you? This is also against the rules of etiquette. ”
Fang Huanqiu said naughtily: "I don't care if he has any rules, I told my father that I was sick, my stomach hurt, and I couldn't go." Daddy didn't take me either. ”
"What?" Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Huanqiu and Guo Caiwei and laughed: "Hahaha, you two, it's really ...... Coincide with. ”
Guo Caiwei was also trembling with laughter, and the people around her didn't know what to do, and after some explanation, the audience burst into laughter.
Everyone sat down again, and the bustling laughter fell silent. Guo Caiwei, as the owner of the house, got up and said coquettishly: "Everyone, today's Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, my husband and I know that you are all wanderers, or you have no family to return to, or you have no relatives at all. The husband said that on such a day, you must be invited to reunite. The husband said that the most ideal state in the world is the great harmony of the world, and the world is one family. This ideal cannot be achieved, but we can get along as a family. Tonight, don't be inhibited, just make this your home. Let's drink and admire the moon, leave everything behind, and enjoy yourself. ”
Guo Caiwei finished speaking, raised the glass cup and drank it heroically, and all the women on the table thanked each other and drank it up.
Lin Jue was in a very happy mood, full of beauties, naturally the happiest and most face-saving time. It's a pity that there are no other men on the table today, otherwise Lin Jue would have a bright face and be arrogant. Men, there's always a bit of vanity in this regard.
