Chapter No.16.Missing.

The Xue family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was extremely rich. Qiuqiu didn't like meat and eggs very much, but he liked the river crab that was as big as the fists of two adults.

After more than two years of experience, Shen Junzhi has successfully transformed from a handicap who would get stuck in a little girl when feeding a mouthful of fish to a master at shaving crabs and shrimps.Impatient with the eight small and delicate crabs, Shen Junzhi was able to completely peel off the flesh of a crab with only a pair of chopsticks.

Pick out the crab leg meat and let Qiuqiu eat it by himself with a small silver spoon. Shen Junzhi poured some ginger vinegar into the crab shell and mixed the most cold crab roe before handing it to Qiuqiu.Qiuqiu just licked it, and pushed the crab shell back because he couldn't stand the smell of ginger powder.Shen Junzhi didn't force her, he just picked himself up and ate.

Mrs. Xue watched the interaction between the two of them from the side, and secretly smiled at Master Xue: "I didn't expect His Highness King Xuan to like children very much."

Master Xue also laughed, and turned to tease Jia Zhu: "Zhu'er, look at the prince, he will compare you as an older brother."

Jia Zhu smiled bitterly, but gave Qiuqiu a mouthful of fried yam.This child is usually the least fond of vegetarians, this kind of white vegetables is fine, if let her eat a mouthful of green leafy vegetables, it may be more difficult than getting her to drink medicine.

Looking at her younger sister swallowing the yam with a face of "seeing death as home", Jia Zhu sighed: "It's not because Ah Zhi has always spoiled her. As an older brother, I always have to be sent to sing the black face." of."

Probably because the helplessness on Jia Zhu's face was too obvious, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a banquet, and when the banquet ended, it was already full moon in the sky.Hearing the faint laughter coming from outside Xue's house, Xue Lao said: "My lord came to Jinling for the first time, have you visited the lantern festival here?"

Shen Junzhi hadn't spoken to him yet, but he felt the ball in his arms tremble, and those flickering eyes almost read "I want to go, I want to go".Stretching out his hand to pat the ball, Shen Junzhi said: "When I was in Shengjing, I also participated in several Mid-Autumn Lantern Festivals. I think Jinling is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the customs and scenery are different from Shengjing?"

Xue Pan, who had been tidied up by Master Xue before, couldn't bear it long after eating this meal tremblingly. Hearing Shen Junzhi's words, he quickly said: "Brother Shen..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Master Xue gave him a hard look, and Xue Pan quickly changed his words: "My lord, if you are interested, I can take you to Jinling for a stroll. I know the area of ​​Jinling very well. I guarantee you will have a good time." Have fun~"

Although Xue Pan's words were confusing, the honorifics were neither fish nor fowl, and there was even a suspicious rippling tilde at the end of the sentence, but Shen Junzhi finally agreed.

After a little preparation, Xue Pan, Jiazhu, Shen Junzhi, and two little girls holding hands set off from Xue Zhai to Menghe in Jinling.

Menghe River is the largest canal in Anqing, and it reaches the Jinling River Basin. This quietly flowing canal seems to be sprinkled with gold powder and rouge.Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the voices of people on both sides of the strait curl up, pedestrians jostle each other, there are silk and bamboo orchestras, and the fragrance of music and wine.

The Menghe Lantern Festival is the busiest time of the year for this canal.It was not too early for Shen Junzhi and his party to come. When they arrived at the bank of the Meng River, river lanterns had already floated in the river.All kinds of river lanterns are connected together into one piece, just like a river of stars pouring down, with countless flowing shadows.

It was crowded just now, so Shen Junzhi naturally refused to let Qiuqiu go alone.Although there are quite a few pedestrians on this shore, most of them gather together in twos and threes. In addition, the shore is spacious, and fences have been specially built on both sides. Shen Junzhi put down the ball, wanting to hold her hand and lead her walk around.

Qiuqiu held a sugar painting in his hand, and the big carp on it was lifelike.As soon as the little girl was put down, she ran to Baochai who was led by Xue Pan.Baochai held a blooming peony in his hand, Qiuqiu bit the tail of the fish, smashed his mouth, frowned and said, "Sweet. It's not delicious."

Baochai burst out laughing, reached out her hand and tapped the tip of the penalty ball's nose, and said angrily, "What are you doing with that laborious thing, just take it and play with it."

Xue Pan heard this, and shouted: "Sister Baoyu, do you want candy? Baochai, do you want it? I heard that Wu Xingzhai has a new product, brother, go buy it here!"

He has always had the temperament of listening to the wind and the rain. As soon as Xue Pan finished speaking, he didn't wait to listen to Qiuqiu and Baochai's answers. He took the lead and pushed aside the crowd around him, and ran towards Wu Xingzhai like a small cannonball.Don't look at Xue Pan's fat body, but the reputation of the little overlord is not for nothing, and his movements are really very agile.

Jia Zhu couldn't help but let him go.Glancing at the younger sister tightly held by Shen Junzhi, and the younger sister of the Xue family standing obediently by the side, Jia Zhu still ordered: "Ah Zhi, I'll buy them two river lanterns, you Take a good look at them."

Shen Junzhi waved to Jia Zhu, signaling him to come quickly.Jia Zhu glanced at them with some concern, and had to hurry back.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the banks of Menghe River were more lively than usual. Jia Zhu glanced at the long queue in front of him and couldn't help but sighed.When he was in Shengjing, he always had to accompany his mother and grandmother during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sometimes, he even went to the palace to meet the queen mother and the emperor.Like this kind of lantern festival, not to mention his younger sister, even he hasn't been here a few times.

It's just that this person... is really too much.

Xue Pan on the other side is also facing the same situation. Although he has always been domineering and never knows what queuing is, there are too many people around Wu Xingzhai. Even if he does not line up, Xue Pan still cannot squeeze in.This time they went out to the Lantern Festival without their servants. Without the little overlord of the "Pro-Guards", they always felt that their prestige was not as vigorous as before.

Seeing that Xue Pan and Jia Zhu hadn't returned for a long time, Shen Junzhi looked around, found a restaurant, and went up with Qiuqiu and Baochai.

The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was already getting a little cold, Shen Junzhi ordered a bowl of glutinous rice balls made with rice wine sprinkled with sweet-scented osmanthus for each of the two little girls, and then propped up his chin and looked at the bustling crowd downstairs.

During this period, the boy in the restaurant brought a pot of aged osmanthus wine that was said to be a gift from the shopkeeper, and Shen Junzhi didn't drink it, but kept playing with the white porcelain cup.

It wasn't until Qiuqiu had eaten half of the small bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls that Jia Zhu came up with two beautiful little lanterns.

After handing the peony lantern to Baochai, Jia Zhu handed the most common lantern in her hand to Younger Sister.

Shen Junzhi has excellent eyesight, and he can see the way with just a glance.He took out the torch and lit the small lantern, then moved the lantern to a dark place.On the pitch-black ground, a vivid kitten was projected onto it. With the shaking of Shen Junzhi's wrist, the kitten seemed to come alive.

Both Qiuqiu and Baochai's eyes widened involuntarily, and Shen Junzhi gave the lantern to Qiuqiu for her to play with.After seeing Qiuqiu's smiling face enough, Shen Junzhi pulled Jia Zhu and said in a low voice, "My brother has a secret letter for me. There are too many people here. I'll go home first."

As he said that, he shook the hand that had been playing with the wine glass, and when he spit out the inner strength in his palm, the small wine glass turned into flying powder, and a wax pellet fell into Shen Junzhi's hand.

Jia Zhu looked straight and nodded to him.Shen Junzhi took one last look at the little girl who was having fun, and seeing that she didn't look at him, he couldn't help muttering "Little heartless", but he still left quickly.

After Shen Junzhi left, Xue Pan walked up sweating profusely.He held an exaggeratedly large food box in his left hand, and two lotus-shaped river lanterns in his right hand. When he saw Jia Zhu, Xue Pan gasped and said, "Brother Zhu, come to help, why is this man so stupid?" Too much, I'm really exhausted."

Jia Zhu took the big food box from his hand and put it on the table. He couldn't help being a little surprised by the heavy weight.

Xue Pan wiped off his sweat, took off the lid of the wine pot on the table, and poured it into his mouth. After panting for a while, Xue Pan said: "I went to buy sugar for my sister, and I saw a group of girls and boys going to set off river lanterns. I just wanted to buy one for my younger sisters too. It really took a lot of time to go back and forth."

There was a lot of movement on Xue Pan's side. After hearing what he said, the shopkeeper thoughtfully presented pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and said to them: "If you have any wishes, you can write them on paper and put them in the wick. Your Majesty will make it happen for you.”

At this moment, Qiuqiu and Baochai stopped playing with the lanterns, and gathered around, eager to write on the paper.Baochai has already practiced calligraphy, and although the words "Family Safety" are a little immature, they are very neat.Qiuqiu is still in the stage of learning to write big characters, and the two-finger-wide rice paper is far from enough for her to write.

Seeing the young girl clutching the pen with a troubled expression on her face, Jia Zhu chuckled, hugged her on her lap, and coaxed her softly, "What does Baoyu want? My brother will write for you."

Qiuqiu tilted his head and said without hesitation: "Fish!"

Jia Zhu hesitated for a moment, and wrote the word "jade" on the paper.But thinking in his heart, maybe his younger sister gave the kitten jade pendant around her waist to Xue's younger sister, so she wanted a new one, right?

After finishing writing, Jia Zhu and Xue Pan took their sister to set off the river lanterns.

People on both sides of the Meng River gradually gathered, because of the railings, the two undersized girls, Qiuqiu and Baochai, had no way to set off the lanterns in person.There was no other way, so Jia Zhu and Xue Pan had to go into battle.Although Jia Zhu is a literati, she is slender and looks a head taller than Xue Pan.

He rolled up his wide sleeves, carefully placed the river lantern carrying his precious little wish in the water, pushed it forward lightly, and he could see the lotus lantern slowly moving toward the center of the river. Float away.

Xue Pan on the other side was not to be outdone, and put the lantern in his hand in a similar manner. While putting it on, Xue Pan said to Jia Zhu with great interest: "Hey, brother Zhu, look, who will let it go?" farther?"

Jia Zhu and him laughed, but suddenly they were startled—they didn't bring any servants, he and Xue Pan were both lighting up lamps, so who was watching their two younger sisters?

Turning around quickly, looking at the emptiness behind her, Jia Zhu said in a deep voice, "Brother Pan, where are Baoyu and Baochai?"

Xue Pan was also agitated, looking at the place where the two younger sisters were standing just now, Xue Pan couldn't help opening his mouth.
