Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the tower of Donghua Gate.

    Princess Ning'an was sitting opposite Concubine Li, and she felt a sense of boredom as she looked at her triumphant look.

    "But she is a big aunt who can give birth to children and feed each one. As an eldest aunt, she really doesn't dare to offend

    ¡®Oh, it¡¯s such a torment.  ¡¯ Ning An raised his head to drink a glass of wine and looked at the bright moon in the sky, feeling extremely lonely and unbearable.

    How much you want to hear Zhao Lang chanting a song in your ear, "May we live forever, and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart"?

    Zhao Lang, are you like Ning An, missing you day and night?

    Li Chengen, who was sitting at the bottom, was most impatient of these red tapes and the banquets of his mother-in-law and mother.  I saw him sitting there blankly, looking straight at the silver plate in the sky.

    I don't know how to think of the old senior, my heart was sour.

    Today is the 100th day since I left the old man. I miss him.

    ??~~

    By the Yangcheng Lake in Kunshan, Mr. Zhao, who was enjoying himself with the people, sneezed twice for no reason.

    "Sir, the wind is strong on the embankment, why don't we drink somewhere else." Bai Shouli said hurriedly and attentively.

    "It's not necessary, I'm very strong." Zhao Shouzheng picked up the rice wine nonchalantly and pointed with the shallow wine plate to the densely packed bonfires under the newly built lake embankment that stretched into the distance.

    Around each bonfire, there is a circle of people sitting around.  The bright firelight reflected the happy faces, which were the people of Kunshan celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    This year¡¯s Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the intensive embankment construction period, and Mr. Zhao originally planned to give the villagers a half-day holiday.

    But everyone is eyeing the completion award.  In order to meet the construction deadline, everyone in each section said that they would give up their vacation and hurry up with the construction.

    Zhao Shouzheng, at Zhao Hao's suggestion, held a lively Mid-Autumn Festival meeting on the unfinished lake embankment.

    In this way, the people celebrate the festival directly after work, which not only saves time, but also promotes unity.

    ????????????????????????????? Second Master Zhao is a little bit muttered, because my son pays too much attention to uniting the people.

    Supposedly this is a good thing, but I always feel that something is not quite right.

    However, he still readily agreed and asked people to ship all the materials prepared for the people for the festival to the embankment.

    As a result, each person received a moon cake, two oranges, and a salted chicken for each family.

    There is also a sizzling and greasy roasted whole lamb on each bonfire It was improvised by the big families in the county, eighty of you and a hundred of mine.

    Gu Dadong also purchased two full shipments of rice wine from Suzhou and distributed them to the people for drinking.

    There are wine, meat and moon cakes, it is simply beautiful.

    During the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, many poor people could not afford moon cakes at all, so they could only eat a pot of yellow hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger.

    It¡¯s such a miserable life.

    The common people remembered the hardships and remembered the sweetness, shed tears, and cherished the beautiful life now.

    ??~~

    "Only by sitting on the lake embankment can we see the full picture of these thousands of bonfires."

    Although he was chilled by the night wind, Mr. Zhao's heart was warm.

    He felt that his life was finally worth living, so he touched the wine bowl with the people around him with drunken eyes and asked with a big tongue:

    "You guys, 'Which one is happy if you are happy alone or with others?'"

    Everyone then laughed and said, "It's not as good as talking to others."

    "Which one is happy, having fun with the young man or having fun with everyone?" Mr. Zhao asked again.

    Everyone laughed again and said, "It's not as good as others."

    "Hahahaha!" Mr. Zhao laughed loudly, drank it all with everyone, and suddenly sighed softly: "It's a pity that the old bear is not here."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside up, and the gentry could not help but feel warm in their hearts, and thought to themselves, the eldest master is so attentive, and no one will know that he is not here.

    "Old parents really keep their subordinates and people in their hearts all the time." The gentry immediately began to flatter themselves.

    "How lucky is Kunshan County to have a parent official like the elder? How lucky you are!"

    "Hey, haha, I'm not that good either." Zhao Shouzheng felt very comfortable after being photographed. He waved his hands and sighed, "I'm thinking of this poor guy, Old Xiong. It's really hard for him to go through hardships when others are celebrating the holidays."

    "Yes." Everyone naturally nodded, and suddenly thought that the eldest man was also a widower

    It turns out that things hurt their own kind, and we feel the same way.

    It seems that we have to hurry up and renew the old man¡¯s string.

    ??~~

    The bright moon shines brightly in the south of the Yangtze River, illuminating Kunshan and Jinling.

    " Mr. Zhao's crow's mouth really hit the mark. Xiong Dianshi's Mid-Autumn Festival was a real one.It's too difficult.

    Two days after sending the letter, he went to the Duke's Mansion again, but still no reply.

    Now Xiong Dianshi was a little anxious.  They didn't have much to bring with them, and after a few more days they would have to use the Kunshan people's ancestral skills - begging for food all the way home.

    Xiong Xiasheng was anxious, and he went to urge him every day. As a result, he annoyed the slaves of the Duke of Guo's Mansion, and kicked them out of Xufu Street, preventing them from getting closer to the Duke of Guo's Mansion.

    As a result, I ran out of money and fully realized what it means to be trapped in a city of sorrow.

    At this time, he and the five members of Wang's squad were sitting around a square table in the lobby of the inn.

    There was only one porcelain plate on the table, and there was only one five-nut mooncake on the plate.

    They bought this with the last money they had.

    Tomorrow I won¡¯t be able to pay the rent and will sleep on the street

    "Alas" Xiong Dianshi sighed gloomily.

    "Alas" The three detectives also sighed.

    " Bantou Wang is older, so he is more tolerant than Xiong Dianshi at this time.

    "Four Masters, please be patient. Qin Qiong sells horses and Zixu plays the flute. Heroes have been in trouble since ancient times."

    As he said that, he pointed to the only mooncake and joked: "Besides, we are pretty good. Five-nut mooncake, isn't it just a mooncake for five people?"

    "Puch" Xiong Dianshi was amused by him, and then he laughed louder and louder, sweeping away the obstacles that had accumulated over the past few days and said:

    "Old Wang, I'm not as good as you! That's right, there's no time when people don't have to memorize words? Just walk over and you'll be fine!"

    As he spoke, he smiled at everyone and said, "We are from Kunshan. We have the ability to beg for food, but why are we afraid of starving to death?"

    "Hahaha." The three detectives also laughed.

    "Four Masters, I know how to sing little songs."

    "I know how to make lotus flowers fall."

    "The younger one also wears a pair of bamboo boards."

    "I can tell, you all have special skills. What do we have to worry about?" Xiong Dianshi laughed and said, "Come, let the five of us eat five-nut mooncakes to celebrate the festival!"

    Team leader Wang took out his knife, rubbed it on the front and back of his sleeve, then cut off a third of it and gave it to the fourth master first.

    The rest was divided equally between the three subordinates.

    "Exquisite." Xiong Dianshi couldn't help but praise, and then smiled: "However, we are all going to beg for food, so let's just have a bowl of water"

    "The fourth master can't help it. We don't plan to make a living for the rest of our lives."

    While they were negotiating, the five of them smelled an alluring aroma of wine and meat.

    "It's time to serve the food." The waiter shouted loudly.

    Wurenoh no, the five of them couldn't help but swallowed at the same time. They hadn't had a full meal in several days.

    "It would be great if this was given to us." Agent A whispered: "Do you believe I can call him grandpa?"

    Before they finished speaking, the waiter placed four cold dishes on their table.

    Then, he took out a plate of fat chicken, a plate of steamed fish, a bowl of pork belly, and a plate of braised lion head from the tray, and placed them neatly around the cold dishes.

    And like magic, he put down a jar of Erqu wine.

    "Grandpa." Agent A shouted happily.
