Seeking Happiness Chapter 113: Mid-autumn banquet


This is an era when it’s popular to worship the moon and watch lanterns. As early as the sky was still dark, Shu Huan took a few maidservants and hung up delicate lanterns everywhere in the courtyard, and the beautiful scenery brought people to set up incense burners. , For the moon cakes and fruits, prepared for the moon worship at night.

Autumn Festival, there is a reunion dinner, in order to facilitate the moon watching, tables and chairs have been lifted outside, facing the lake, with a very wide view, and the table is already placed on the table, the inside is filled They are all kinds of dried and fresh fruits, sweets and preserves. When night comes, there will be maidservants who start to put cold and hot dishes on the table, as well as freshly steamed extremely fatty crabs and wine vinegar ginger.

However, when she sat at the wine table, Shu Huan felt a little unhappy in her heart.

I originally invited Ji Danqing, Du Qiu, and Du Mu to have a drink and enjoy the moon together. Although there are family members in the other courtyard, she and Gu Xiran are both people who don’t care about the rules. They even considered avoiding suspicion. Even Aunt Yun, who was temporarily removed from the ban and was able to come out for a meal and let her go, did not show any signs of feeling inappropriate.

This was supposed to be a harmonious and beautiful night, but when Zhang Hanfang suddenly appeared, he shook out a little bit of a not-so-harmonious melody.

Zhang Hanfang dressed up in Chinese clothes and came here with pride, but when she saw Du Qiu and Ji Danqing, her face changed a little, and she squinted at Shu Huan and said, "How can my cousin sit with a stranger? Wine, aren’t you afraid to teach people to gossip?"

This makes Ji Danqing and Du Qiu a little bit unable to sit still, but Shu Huan is nothing more than they have known her, and they habitually do not avoid suspicion, but Zhang Hanfang is still an unmarried girl who is still waiting for her daughter. It's really not very convenient to be unfamiliar and have a drink together.

Seeing Ji Danqing and Du Qiu expressing their desire to resign, Shu Huan couldn't help but stood up first and smiled slightly: "I am not afraid to listen to gossip. Besides, your cousin is here with me. The gossip can come out, but the cousin is icy and jade, and shouldn't teach the talkative villain to talk about it. It is this festival that was taken into consideration, so I didn't dare to post my cousin to invite my cousin to drink and enjoy the moon tonight."

The implication is that I didn’t invite you. If you feel uncomfortable looking at this scene, then go away quickly

She was not such a mean person, and she was hesitant to invite Zhang Hanfang over to have a drink with the autumn night banquet, because the Zhang family sent people to urge several times, Zhang Rong had already left and returned home, but Zhang Hanfang was ill. Can't stand the road and run around, so he just stayed in the other courtyard.

Shu Huan doesn’t understand the meaning of Zhang Hanfang’s move, and is not happy to guess, but feels that they are all relatives. If she is eating a reunion dinner during the festival, it is a bit unsuitable to leave her alone and ignore it, but she really wants to Inviting her to come, the atmosphere at the banquet will become silent and embarrassing, which is also predictable. After thinking about it, she is unwilling to wrong herself and other people to get angry. She is simply not attentive. Instead of asking Zhang Hanfang, she only teaches others. I sent the wine and food, but didn’t expect Zhang Hanfang to come uninvited, and immediately let her understand how wise her decision not to invite was

Speaking of this, the meaning of rushing is very obvious. Zhang Hanfang's face was green and white. If she followed her usual arrogance, she should turn around angrily at this moment, but an accident that surprised Shu Huan happened again. , She didn't leave, she just glanced at everyone, snorted, and sat down at the wine table, saying: "Since my cousin and cousin are here, then I have nothing to worry about." /

Shu Huan really doesn’t know if her change is good or bad, but the headache is for sure. It’s not good to chase her at this moment. I can only call the maids to bring water and clean her hands when she doesn’t exist. Go and destroy the big plate of crabs on the table that she has coveted.

Gu Xiran was unhappy in her heart, but she didn’t show up. Seeing that the atmosphere on the wine table was a little stiff, she picked up the wine glass, invited people to drink together, and casually said two jokes. Slowly come over.

Crabs have always been the love of Shuhuan. Before crossing, it was extremely difficult to eat such a plump, fresh, natural-growing crab, so she picked a crab and broke the shell instantly. Throwing Zhang Hanfang behind his head, he just wanted to eliminate the plump and plump cream in the crab shell.

Seeing that she liked it, Gu Xiran talked with someone, and quietly broke a crab, picked the full cream into the crab shell, and pushed it in front of her.

Zhang Hanfang sat there unable to speak, and picked up a crab while breaking, but at this moment she has an inexplicable concern for Gu Xiran, and has been quietly watching his actions. Seeing him like this, she naturally felt This kind of unpleasantness that can't be said, I can't think about it, and then blurt out: "When my cousin was not married, I thought I had never eaten crabs. Then eat more."

Speaking, she handed the broken crab shell to Shu Huan, and smiled: "Those who don’t know how to eat crabs can only eat yellow cream. After all, peeling crab meat is very delicate. If you don’t peel it well, you can only chew the shell."

Tite is so annoying

Shu Huan didn’t breathe, but she was eating, and while enjoying the food, there was such a person next to it, which really affected her appetite, so she took the shell of cream that Zhang Hanfang handed over. He smiled and thanked: "Yeah, yeah, my cousin said, I don't know how to peel crab meat, I only eat cream, then--"

Speaking of which, she handed over the crab body, which was still too late to eat, with her other hand: "Just trouble my cousin who can eat it. Let me fix the crab meat."

What a great thing

She has imagined thousands of times. If crabs don’t give birth to legs and feet, it would be better to only grow yellow cream. Now, although this fantasy has not been realized, she eats cream and somebody solves the crab meat for her. Of course, I can’t ask for it. .

Zhang Hanfang's complexion became stiff, did not reach out to pick it up, Shu Huan ignored her~ IndoMTL.com~ directly threw the crab body into the dish in front of her, and when he finished eating the cream in front of her, he reached out and picked it up again. Just a crab, this time it’s more straightforward. I broke off the shell and threw the crab body to Zhang Hanfang. I didn’t even look at her. I just smiled and said, “Cousin, I’m going to ask you for these. , Look at how to eat this crab meat, it is delicate."

Seeing that the two of them are fighting each other, Shu Huan still has the upper hand, everyone else smiled wittily and bowed their heads to eat crabs.

Zhang Hanfang is embarrassed. She actually loves anointing, so she just let it out, but she wanted to taunt Shu Huan, but she didn’t want to eat the crab body in the dish and show it to others. , She had no choice but to carry chopsticks bitterly to pick up other dishes.

Fortunately, the beautiful scenery happened to hold the dice at this time, and Gu Xiran smiled and took it: "It's boring to eat alcohol. It's better to roll the dice to bet on winning or losing. The penalty for losing is fine."

The others have not yet answered, Zhang Hanfang first sneered and said: "Shaking dice is too vulgar, it is better to make a wine order, or to chant poems and make the right, ready-made topics, such as chrysanthemum appreciation, moon play, crab eating, autumn thinking, can’t be done. People, fine wine."

She is conceited and quick-witted, and her poems are never lost to others. When she speaks, she squints at Shu Huan: "How does my cousin feel?"
