Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Mid-Autumn Festival was here in a blink of an eye, and Wen Wan had no interest in celebrating the New Year, whether in her previous life or in this life.  However, I missed Nanny Huang more and more.  With this in mind, he immediately sent someone to ask Qi Yan.

    "Princess, the Crown Prince is here." Wen Wan immediately greeted him.  Seeing that Qi Yan was sweating, he quickly brought him a bowl of ice-cold mung bean soup. He drank two bowls before he felt better.

    "Cousin, I have already heard about what you asked me to do. I happened to get the news last night, so I will come over as soon as I have free time today to tell you about it. The Huang family was originally exiled to Lingnan, and they were sent to look for it.  The person has replied, and there is only one person left in the Huang family, who is Nanny Huang's nephew." Qi Yan told Wen Wan all the information he had learned.  He knew that Wen Wan had been thinking about this matter, so he rushed over as soon as possible.

    "Then what does he do now? Is he still a sinner?" Wen Wan was a little worried.

    "He is now a long-term follower of a family. He has married a wife and has children. I have asked him if he is willing to return to the capital. He said that he is used to the life in Lingnan. The people I sent have redeemed him and given him a home.  It can make their family live a good life. This can be regarded as calming down your feelings for grandma." Qi Yan naturally knows that Wen Wan's feelings for grandma Huang are not trivial.  And he himself respects Nanny Huang.  Such a loyal servant is respected by his master.

    When Wen Wan got the news, she was half relieved and half depressed.  Just walk around the garden.  Unexpectedly, Grandma Huang actually has relatives alive.

    "Yesterday, my mother did a good job. Grandma gave her a plate of marinated civet meat. The taste was really delicious." Wen Wan heard a little maid cleaning the yard talking with a woman next to her.  Show off.

    "Yes, old lady. Madam and the others like to give meat and vegetables to their servants. But the princess and the princess never give meat and vegetables to us." A woman said sadly.  The princess is a bit stingy.

    "The princess's diet is relatively light, and it is also very simple. One meal only has two meat and two vegetables. If there is any leftover, I will give you a reward. After completing the errand, the reward will be the same." Another woman answered.  Wen Wan was surprised to hear this.

    "What are you talking about? If you don't like it, go out. I don't care that you are here. Why don't you say that the work here is easier and more abundant than outside. If you want to eat meat, go find it yourself." Xia Yu scolded after hearing this.  Although Wenwan is not rewarded with meat or vegetables, everyone can take a four-day break every month.  Don't underestimate these four days, in ancient times.  Servants have no holidays throughout the year.

    "Princess, the old lady has rewarded you with a bowl of roe deer meat and a bowl of chicken marrow and bamboo shoots." Xia Lan came over to report, still very gentle and strange.  It looks really good, but why don't you bring the roe deer and bamboo shoots and make it for yourself?  You can also make bamboo shoot soup.

    "Well, the old lady will give food to whomever she likes. This shows a kind of favor. Naturally, the princess does not need such a favor, but it is given by the elder. It cannot be declined." Grandma Gu persuaded Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan suddenly remembered what happened at the Hou Mansion, oh my god, this is her leftover food.  The so-called reward is to give leftover vegetables to others.  Still so happy.  God, I'm glad I haven't experienced this so-called favor.  I'm busy cooking two plates of food and learning how to do it.  The reward was given to the maid next to her to eat.

    During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old lady sent someone to come and ask him to have dinner with her and enjoy the moon with everyone at night.  Wen Wan listens to the moon and enjoys the ghost moon.  Wen Wan really didn't want to face a room full of people with such crooked thoughts.  But Ping's mother had spoken and she had to go, otherwise it would be unfilial.  Wen Wan always thought that she could be independent with her title, but little did she know that she would still be living a useless life.  At first I thought I had a title.  Although it is not said that he is domineering, at least he can not be restrained.  How do you know that one mountain is higher than the other?  Heck, I don¡¯t know when I will be free from restraint.

    Wenwan is unwilling to do so.  Of course it was long overdue.  When we arrived, everyone was there.  Just wait for her.

    "Oh, we have been waiting for our princess to come. No, the princess is no more difficult to wait for than the moon in the sky." Qingshan sneered.

    Wen Wanli ignored her. To deal with such a brainless person, ignoring is the best response.  Sure enough, Qingshan's face turned green when she saw that Wen Wan didn't even look at her.

    "You are so beautifully dressed today. This is how a girl should dress. Look, you are so energetic." The eldest lady praised.

    Today, Wen Wan wore a flying fairy bun with a red gold walking stick inserted sideways. The snow-white pearls in the hanging strips swayed back and forth as she walked, making a tinkling sound. She looked particularly happy.  Wearing a bright blue flower-stitched jacket, a bright red skirt with gold flowers, and a pair of butterfly drop shoes on her feet, the color combination is outstanding, and she looks energetic and festive.  Also suitable for today's atmosphere.  Even the old lady was quite satisfied after seeing it, and she wasn't picky about it.

    Wen Wan listened and even shook her headHe shook his head.  The steps shook even more, making a crisp sound.  The eldest lady was very happy to see it.

    After a while, a mother-in-law came up from below to say that dinner was set and ready to be served.  Naturally, the one sitting in the first place is Ping Mu, the one sitting next to the left is the eldest lady, and Wen Wan is sitting below the eldest lady.  In addition, there are the third wife, the fifth wife, and two legitimate daughters.  Anyone else will sit at another table.

    Wenwan had no scruples about eating, but what was a bit awkward was that the grandma was still standing on one side serving dishes.  It looks awkward to have my sister-in-law serve only the dishes, not to mention that her focus is Pingmu.  Wen Wan glanced at Xia Ying, but Xia Ying had no idea. She picked whatever dish Wen Wan looked at.

    Wenwan developed a good habit in the orphanage, never leaving a grain of rice or a scrap of vegetables behind when eating.  Therefore, after finishing the meal, her bowl was particularly bright.

    "Hey, our princess really understands that food is hard to come by. It's time to learn from the princess. Old lady, don't you think so?" The third lady looked strange.  After losing so much money, she was so distressed that she fell ill.

    Wen Wan made a few strokes: "The princess said that when she was in the countryside, the brown rice she ate had a lot of sand mixed in, basically one mouthful of rice and half a mouthful of sand. The rice was served with pickled sauerkraut. Now and then  In comparison, it¡¯s like being in heaven. So, of course I have to cherish it. "Wen Wan did this on purpose. You are deliberately disgusting these people. You don¡¯t want to make it easier for me."  I won't make it easy for you either.

    "One sentence made Ping's mother's face change immediately.  Doesn't Wen Wan's words mean that the Taira family abused her?  He glanced at the third lady angrily, she really didn't mention which pot to open.  The third lady looked at Ping's mother with a stiff face and did not dare to speak.  Others stay away from Wen Wan.

    After that, everyone said some interesting things to please Ping's mother.  Wen Wan squinted her eyes to rest, waiting for the moon to come up.

    But she listened to the chatter of a group of women.  Wen Wan felt that it was really noisy.  But it¡¯s not easy to just throw away your sleeves.  After all, you still need reputation.

    "Princess, are you a little bored? If you are, let's go for a walk and come back after a while." Qingshui asked gently.

    Wenwan looked at her with genuine concern.  Instead, he smiled, nodded, and stood up.  The two of them said a few words to Ping's mother and went out.

    "Princess, don't worry about what happened just now. The third aunt has such a temperament, she is quick-tongued and straightforward, but she is a very nice person." As soon as Qing Shui finished speaking, Wen Wan turned around to look.  She looked very sincere.  Feeling a little embarrassed, she thought she was here to be a lobbyist at first.

    "Ms. Qingshui. The princess said that she would not take such a trivial matter to heart."

    Qingshui smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "I knew the princess was kind-hearted, but I was overthinking it. Princess, I liked the thing you gave me last time. I don't have anything good. I still hope for this little thing."  The princess can like it."

    Wenwan looks like a sachet, the fabric is fine silk and satin, embroidered with clivia.  The embroidery skills are also good.  But what makes Wenwan confused is why the embroidery is Clivia.  Most people will embroider peonies, auspicious cloud patterns and other wealthy and auspicious styles as gifts.

    Qing Shui looked at Wen Wan and took it.  I don't know that Wen Wan was scratching her head in her heart, and said with a smile: "Because I don't know what the princess likes. I remember that Her Highness the Princess likes Clivia, so she embroidered Clivia herself. Don't be surprised, Princess."

    Wen Wan was startled. This was the first time she heard about the princess from someone else. This person was actually still a child.  I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, "Miss Qingshui, the princess would like to ask you to tell us more about our princess. The princess wants to know."

    Qing Shui nodded: "The princess is a very gentle and kind person. Her Royal Highness is very gentle to everyone. The family likes her very much. My mother often said that my fifth uncle is lucky to marry such a good wife.  "

    Wen Wan raised her head and looked at the sky. The moon had already risen. However, the moon on August 15 was only half-circle.  Wen Wan knows very well that what Qing Shui talks about is naturally superficial.  They, from the bottom of their hearts, do not taboo the princess's status as a princess.  Instead, he regarded the princess as an enemy.  Six years after marrying into the Heike family, the income from the imperial estate and shop plus 30% of the county's annual income.  Every year at least tens of thousands of taels of silver go into the Taira family.  I made so much money and took so many advantages.  He also wants to put her to death, a bunch of wolf-hearted things.

    "Princess, Miss Fourth, please make it easy to find your servant." When Wen Wan saw that she was Pingmu's maid Ziyue, she turned around and went back.  Qing Shui thanked the maid and politely said it was troublesome.

    "Sister Ziyue, look at how much the fourth lady understands etiquette." A little maid next to her looked at Wen Wan's arrogant look, and when compared with Qing Shui, she was very dissatisfied.

    Ziyue saw that the person had gone away and probably couldn't hear him, so she felt relieved.  Turning around and yelling, "Shut up, I won't say this again."?Say it again.  If the princess hears it, watch your skin carefully.  "

    Ziyue shook her head inwardly when she saw that the little maid didn't dare to speak anymore.  As the maid next to the old lady, she is naturally first-rate and decent.  Everyone who meets her in the mansion will respect her, even the Crown Prince's wife must give her some respect.  But all of them did not include the princess.  Who is the princess? Even the old lady is so angry that she can't do anything. He will give her a good look on the maid.  She has a title of her own and does not rely on the Taira family for support.  Even the future marriage, the old lady cannot make the decision.  In the Duke's Mansion, naturally there is nothing to worry about.

    Wenwan returned to the courtyard and saw that the atmosphere inside was very lively.  She knew in her heart that these people didn't really care about integrity, but about how to play well.  Essentially, they were just having fun, thinking about how to please the old lady and get more benefits.  Anyway, her gentleness does not depend on heaven or earth, let alone the Taira family. She relies on the emperor's grandfather and her uncle.  Anyway, these people can't do anything to her, and they don't bother to care about these boring things.

    "I heard that the Crown Prince of Prince Zheng's Mansion came over two days ago. It's normal for cousins ??to visit each other, but you are getting older. In the future, you have to have a plan in mind, but you can't keep doing this." The old lady looked at her.  He was gentle, with a displeased look on his face, and a tone full of reproach.

    Wen Wan just listened without any expression.  I took a piece of plum blossom cake on the table and took a bite, eating it very elegantly.  The others lowered their heads when they saw that Wen Wan didn't even reply to the old lady.  The old lady was so angry that her heart ached when she saw her like that.

    The eldest lady interrupted and asked to sit next to her.  Ping's mother looked at Wen Wan and just sat there without any expression, feeling very uncomfortable.  But I also know that it is better not to worry about her, otherwise, I will not get anything good, and my anger will be in vain, and my body will be angry.

    After everyone arrived, the mother-in-law beside the old lady gave orders to get the things needed for worshiping the moon.

    Wen Wan sat down and looked at the seven or eight large ram's horn lanterns hanging around, illuminating the yard very brightly.  There is also a platform set up on which incense sticks are burned and incense candles are held.  The red background and black surface enamel sunflower box displays melon cakes and various fruits, such as: moon cakes, peanuts, apples, watermelon, star fruit, longan, pomegranate and other fruits, as well as rose adzuki bean cake, hawthorn and water chestnut cake and many other pastries;  After that, there were a lot of dried fruits to eat.  Full of decorations.

    Wenwan looked around, surrounded by red lanterns.  The moon is not bright, the lights are bright, and the popular cigarettes look festive.  There were blankets and brocade mattresses on the floor.  Wen Wan is very surprised, what are these used for.

    As soon as Wen Wan sat down and her buttocks were not yet warm, she saw the old lady getting up to offer incense and worship the moon. Everyone bowed to her one by one. Wen Wan followed the trend and also stepped forward to bow to her. She thought it was quite interesting.

    After paying homage, they all sat back down and had tea and chatted in the courtyard.  Suddenly someone replied: "Old madam, everything is ready."

    Wen Wan shrugged her brows, but the eldest lady helped the old lady out.  Wen Wan was surprised, but didn't ask.  As everyone came to a pavilion by the lake, everyone sat down together.  Then there was a bustle outside.  Listening to the sound, Wen Wan looked across the large screen and thought that these were men having fun.  They are having a lot more fun than they are here.

    Wenwan looked at the round table with rounded corners, probably thinking of the auspicious meaning of reunion.  Seeing everyone chatting, Wen Wan only saw the excitement.  Being able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times and experience the customs and sentiments of ancient times is not in vain.

    A woman wearing a vermilion silk shirt and a sandy green bra walked in cheerfully, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand for Wen Wan, "Princess, drink tea."

    Wen Wan took it, originally wanting to drink it.  But at first glance, it turned out to be a teacup inlaid with gold threads and paintings. No matter how delicious the drink was, I lost my appetite.  This is something for the mouth. How can you use a gold-painted cup? It contains a lot of lead and will be poisonous if you drink it.  Wen Wan looked around and saw that everyone had white porcelain tea cups.  The one that favored me was painted, and I was immediately angry.

    Wenwan is in front of these people, no matter what the rules are or not.  As a child without a father and mother, how can I be abused by others if I have to swallow my anger all the time?  Forget it before, now, who is she afraid of?  I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s Mid-Autumn Festival or not, I¡¯m going to throw the teacup out.

    "Hey, sister Wen Wan, your teacup is pretty good. Exchange it with me. I haven't drunk it either." The eldest grandma had sharp eyes and immediately stepped forward to take the teacup from Wen Wan's hand with a teasing smile.  Everyone looked at the tea cup in Wen Wan's hand and suddenly understood.

    Wenwan looked at the eldest grandma trying to put things to rest, thinking that it would be a holiday no matter what, so she could just get off the stairs.  There is no need to spread the word that she is unreasonable and unforgiving.  But he glared at the maid who brought the tea angrily.  If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I would have whipped her to see what was served.

    After a few gentle strokes, Xia Ying nodded.  This is over.

    "Old lady, eat moon cakes. It means that every year like today, we will be reunited and everything will go well." BesideThe mother-in-law spoke first.  Then, the wife and mother-in-law below all spoke smoothly.

    Some people are joking, some are telling jokes, which is quite interesting.  Wen Wan looked at the half-circle moon in a daze.  My thoughts drifted into space.  (To be continued)
