Yucuo of the Red Chamber

After a while, a young lady from the Qi family was almost knocked down, and she quickly helped her to stabilize, but she saw that the young lady was still holding a book in her hand, and it was not "Four Books for Women", "Biography of Women", "Collection of Xianyuan" , but "Du Gong Bu Ji", "Quan Tang Poetry" or the Three Character Classic of hundreds of surnames.The young lady stood firm, gave Daiyu or Xichun a sweet smile, and hurried away with the nanny.

Everyone turned around the red maple forest and the chrysanthemum garden, and suddenly there was a strong wind, and it seemed that someone was controlling it.Quietly hiding under the rose trellis to peek, it is a group of little brothers practicing swords or juggling knives.Even though they are all in their teens or younger, they all play well and are very serious.On the lawn at the side, the older ones were either teaching the younger ones, or wielding guns and sticks by themselves, and often offended someone unexpectedly, and soon started fighting.

"Hi!"

Daiyu and Xichun were shocked, but it was Qi Wen who came over quietly, holding a food box in his hand.Daiyu and Xichun were about to jump up and hit him, when suddenly they sniffed, it smells so good!I don't know what is delicious.The two of them crowded around one from the left and the other from the right, threatening: "If you dare to scare the princess, what should you do?"

Qi Wen said with a smile: "Princess, please try the freshly made crispy eggplant box and crispy lotus root flower. If it is not delicious, let the princess punish you." He had beautiful white teeth and a sweet smile on his face.Since he came back, he didn't look like a Marquis at all, he just tried to coax Daiyu and Xichun to play, or get them delicious food.If Daiyu likes it, she will hit him; if she doesn't like it... I don't know yet, let's see if I have this chance today.

The three of them turned around and came to the stone table next to them. Xichun carefully opened the food box, and there were indeed two freshly twisted wet handkerchiefs on the side.The two quickly wiped their hands clean, took the chopsticks, and carefully picked up a piece...

"Be careful!" Qi Wen hurriedly shouted.

Daiyu and Xichun were taken aback for a moment, then came back to their senses, and nodded quickly, not caring about the heat, blowing on it lightly, taking a bite, and eating quickly... "Mmm... delicious! Delicious!" Daiyu ate slowly , and looked at Qi Wen with a smile, "What is this made of? It's delicious. No way? Is it the craftsmanship left by the imperial chef in the former palace?"

"Good girl..." Qi Wen sat down next to him, looked eagerly, and said aggrievedly, "This is not true. This eggplant box contains the mushrooms that they just picked up from the mountain yesterday. Master Qu also found it." Zhicao, mixed with some venison, wrapped in arrowroot powder, and fried out, not only fragrant, but also nourishing, not afraid of getting angry. When making this lotus root flower, use big bird egg yolk to fix it, and then fry it in wild tea seed oil , crunchy and delicious, but also nourishing."

"Sister, I've had a good time too." Xichun started quickly, and ate another two pieces after a while, dancing happily.

Daiyu tasted another piece of each, and it was really delicious. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Have you tried it yet?" Seeing Qi Wen's obedient nod, Daiyu quickly gave him the chopsticks, watching Qi Wen eat with satisfaction, He laughed and said, "Isn't it that you don't do much? What about the master? You and Sui'er went out to play around again? There's flat land everywhere, not even a slope. How long does it take to get to the mountains?"

Qi Wen hurriedly stopped, shook his head and said: "Here... there is no such thing, but there are mountains farther away. My master's BMW can run more than 100 miles in an hour. What mountains can't be reached? Even if you go back to Beijing, According to the master's horse, it will arrive in two days at most."

"Two days?!" Xichun exclaimed, "Two days' journey, and we've been walking for more than a month?"

Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke. One person and one horse, of course fast, not to mention his horse... is a gift of a thousand-mile horse, it is only four or five years old, it is a good time. Our horses can probably run three or four hundred miles a day. Qi Wen, am I right?"

Qi Wen carefully brought out two more cups of tea from the food box and handed them to the two, nodded and said: "Good girl, you are knowledgeable and talented. Master's horse doesn't look like a horse from the Central Plains, but looks a bit like... very rare Dawan Tianma. None of our horses can catch up, and the Lord refuses to say, if it is a Tianma, and it is so tall, let me say..."

"What are you talking about?" Just heard footsteps passing by, followed by a burst of shouting, "Hiding here again, do you want the princess to intercede for you?" Another voice sounded again, "I really can't figure it out. I understand, you let Princess Hechang love each other in two places in the palace, and you insisted on finding your wife to play with my sister-in-law every day. If it wasn't for your patriarch's sake and serving you carefully, I would beat you up as a thief You can’t have a meal. Master, tell me, will you spare him today? He’s stealing something delicious again.”

Xichun hurriedly got up and met the two, it was Buddha and Sui'er, both dressed in white robes, with arrow sleeves, a belt carved with gold and jade, and a belt woven with gold python, they were striding over, they were ready to strike when they saw Qi Wen.Qi Wen hurriedly hid behind Daiyu, Buddha hugged Daiyu and dragged him out, pointed to his nose and said: "Is there a boss like you? How can we say that we are also Xiaoqiao, although... I am at a disadvantage, and I have to call You can't hide and steal food if you call him uncle. What about today's incident?"

Daiyu covered her mouth and snickered, seeing that Qi Wen couldn't break free even with all her strength, and looked at her anxiously for help, then she smiled and said: "What are you doing? Qi Wen, tell the truth, otherwise I don't care about you. "Master Qi has nothing to do with these now. He fights in and out all day long. He is lawless. It is much more difficult to deal with than just playing around in the garden.

"Good girl..." Qi Wen said aggrievedly, "Master insisted on me dancing the sword, let me teach him. That..."

Daiyu was startled, and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you guys practice together a lot recently? Is that a family heirloom? If so, Sui'er, Master doesn't know these rules, don't you? There are no rules."

Buddha let him go to Sui'er, sat next to Daiyu and shook his head with a smile: "Where is the family tradition, I know the rules. He insisted that Yu'er play the piano or watch Yu'er, otherwise the dance would not be like dancing." , show your shame, so I refuse. Yuer is your sister-in-law, don't cling to her all day long, she doesn't look like that. I won't follow next time."

Sui'er also let Qi Wen go, quickly held Xichun's hand, took a piece and fed it to her mouth, swallowed it in two or three gulps, and shouted: "Master, try it quickly, he is just an excuse! This is delicious, better than The crispy chicken yesterday was delicious! Hmm..." Before he could finish speaking, when he saw Qi Wen coming to take it away, he wanted to pounce on him and grab it.

"Grandpa hasn't eaten yet, just a little bit. Miss... just ate a little bit." Qi Wen desperately guarded a few pieces of crispy lotus root flowers on the plate. He looked very tired, but his figure was agile, The flash is gone.

"I'm so filial to the Lord, I won't be polite." The Buddha took a moment to grab it, but unfortunately he didn't have chopsticks in his hand.Frowning, seeing that Qi Wen's hand and Sui'er's chopsticks were about to pounce, Wulong hurried into the sea, reached out and grabbed two pieces and ate them first.

This headband is good, and those few don't have to grab the plates, they all come over with their dragon claws, and they grab them all in a while.

Daiyu sat on the side laughing, and waited until several people had finished eating before annoyed, "What a delicious food, you don't even wash your hands."

"This is a tribute to the princess, of course it's delicious." Sui'er smiled and smacked her lips.

"There will be dinner later, but it probably won't be as delicious." Qi Wen said with a grin while biting his chopsticks.

Since there are still, why didn't you say it earlier?Thinking about it again, if there are only two pairs of chopsticks, what Qi Wen is holding must be the one that Daiyu just ate.Foye's eyes were burning immediately, he stood up and rushed towards Qi Wen.Qi Wen is not as strong as him, but his eyes are quicker and his feet are faster, so he slipped away...

With the arrival of Daiyu and Foye, the century-old Qi family is also quietly changing.Not only was it extremely busy, but there was laughter everywhere.There are also hibiscus pistils, sweet osmanthus fragrance, yellow flowers blooming, and cannas blooming.Wild geese from the north, mandarin ducks returning from the south, and occasionally swans and cranes fly by here, and occasionally stop in the big pond in the garden of Qi Mansion, adding eight points of joy to the reunion this year.In the early morning of that day, there was a late-blooming lotus in the pond, quietly blooming in the morning frost, and it was a double lotus.

There is a saying that people are in high spirits when they meet happy events, and they will be bright from the moon to the Mid-Autumn Festival.Unexpectedly, all things in the world also like to gather in festive places. The so-called auspicious air is probably like this.Master Qi believed in this all the more, and allowed Qi Wen and Daiyu Buddha to laugh and play all day long, either pretending not to see it or watching quietly from the sidelines.The same goes for these people, and they will have to fight soon.

Early in the morning, the Qi Mansion offered sacrifices to the ancestors, but because Qi Wen had already been Shaofeng, they wanted to change him as the officiant.The rest of the people calmed down a little, remembering that there was something else to do.Waiting for everyone in the Qi family to come back after offering sacrifices, they all sat down in the main hall. Master Qi said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, Princess Changle will be here, and our mansion will be full of splendor. I think the princess has already walked around my mansion. However, I dare to ask the princess to show me: where should the banquet be held tonight? What does the princess usually pay attention to, so my house can make preparations in advance."

Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile, "It's good to do as the Romans do when you're in the country. You can do what you want, and you don't dare to be good at it."

"Father, if this is the case, why don't you put it in the garden. It is open and facing a pool of water. It is also very good to watch the moon in the water. There is a mountain behind it. Although it is a rockery, it is also a scene when the moon rises from the top of the mountain. .” Qi Wen hastily suggested.

Master Qi was taken aback for a moment, and now he is not angry anymore.Daiyu is just polite, he has a lot of ideas.After thinking about it, he reprimanded: "The bigger you get, the more confused you become! I haven't figured out the direction yet. The mountain is to the north of Ouyixie. How does the moon come out from the top of the mountain?"

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help laughing at Qi Wen who was stunned and smiling.Daiyu still had to endure it, and persuaded with a smile: "He has been in Beijing for many years, and he has forgotten it. Or..." The Bamboo Hall is in the west of Shui, probably because Qi Wen and Princess Hechang are so used to admiring the moon by the Taiye Pool , Forget about it all at once.Daiyu came back, looked at Qi Wen and said with a smile, "Are you enjoying the moon in the Bamboo Palace? En?"
