Chapter 111 Mingming

The two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival are the most frequent time for every household in Chang’an to send gifts to each other. Most people in Chang’an are used to going to Dongxi Market with their families during the day on Mid-Autumn Festival, and those who are rich will go to Xuandu. Temple and Ci'en Temple to worship and pray for blessings, and in the evening to have a reunion dinner with close family members, drink wine, watch the moon and set off river lanterns.

Therefore, most people give gifts to each other two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The British government, what a wonderful garden.

"Lang Jun, Madam sent someone to ask, is this year's Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony the same as last year? Or has it changed?" Xu Jingzhen's servant Wuwei bowed his head and asked his own Lang.

Xu Jingzhen put down the letter from Wudang Mountain a few days ago, and said to Wuwei: "My uncle will add [-]% of the products I brought back from Wudang Mountain, and my aunt will add two volumes of scriptures that I wrote recently."

After a pause, Xu Jingzhen continued: "Tell my sister-in-law that I want an extra gift. You pack it up. We'll go out later and buy some more."

Wuwei raised his head and asked, "Mr. Lang, do you want to give gifts to Mr. Fang's family?"

Xu Jingzhen shook his head, stood up and straightened his indigo Taoist robe before saying: "Just follow the old rules at Chengxian's place, I'm going to Li's house."

"Lang Jun, you mean Dr. Li's home in Changshoufang Bencaotang?"

Xu Jingzhen nodded, "Okay, get some water, I want to tidy up my appearance."

Wuwei obediently went out to get water for his lord, Xu Jingzhen turned to carefully put away the letter paper on the table, and saw the neat block script on the letter, Xu Jingzhen stared at "let it be" It took a long time to write the four words, and waited until Wuwei came in to fetch water before folding the letter paper and putting it back in the envelope, and finally putting it in a drawer on the Duobao Pavilion.

Brother Li and Brother Li are currently choosing cakes in Xiangguiji according to Mrs. Li's instructions. It is best to buy freshly made cakes on the same day as gift gifts. Uncle Li's family, Dr. Gao and Qian's family , Gao's family and Mrs. Li's natal Jiang's family all lived in Chang'an City.

Only Mrs. Li's natal Wu's family is in the village outside Chang'an City, but according to the Li family's way of treating people, it is the same whether it is in the city or in the country. One or two gifts will make a difference.

Therefore, each family must buy a share of this snack, and the Wu family will take home the share, and the second brother Li will take the second sister-in-law Li to the Wu family to deliver it in person tomorrow afternoon.

What's more, before leaving the house, Mrs. Li specifically told her to buy an extra copy, and secretly returned the gift that Fang Chengxian had brought to Li's house.

Brother Li, who was about to pay, heard the amount of money reported by the shopkeeper, but stopped taking out his purse, turned to look at the shopkeeper with doubts and asked, "The shopkeeper was in a hurry and made a wrong call." The abacus, these, and those are all what my family wants."

Brother Li raised his finger to the boxes of snacks in front of him and in front of Brother Li who was standing aside. Faced with Brother Li's question, Shopkeeper Zhao of Xiangguiji grinned, and looked at Li with a soft and friendly smile. The eldest brother explained: "There is no mistake in the calculation. Mr. Li Dalang, listen to me, the ones in front of you and the ones in front of Li Erlang are worth 15 taels of silver. But because Mrs. Li San helped rescue the Qian family in the store before, I This shop can continue to open, so it is cheaper for me to make the decision, and Mr. Li Dalang will give you ten taels."

As he said that, the shopkeeper took a three-tiered gift box from the boy next to him and put it in front of Brother Li, "I will trouble Mr. Li Dalang to give it to Mrs. Li San for me. I wish you a good smile. "

Brother Li really didn't expect that it was because of Li Sanniang that he got the advantage. He smiled, and cupped his hands at the shopkeeper. After thanking him, he and Brother Li carried it twice with the left and right hand before putting them at the door one by one. On the donkey cart that had been applauded a long time ago.

This morning, the delivery was rather fast, because apart from the elder brother Li and the second brother Li sitting at the old doctor Gao's house and Uncle Li's house, the Qian family and the Gao family both gave gifts to the concierge. After the first and last name, it's over.

After Second Brother Li walked out of the Gaoshang Book Mansion, he saw the busy traffic at the door, and said to Brother Li in an envious tone: "Brother, this Gao family is really kind to people. Look, the whole alley is probably blocked. The car is full."

Eldest brother Li glanced back at the door plaque of the Gao family, then approached second brother Li and whispered, "It's so cold up here."

When Brother Li and Brother Li returned home, they were just in time for lunch. On the table were the steamed buns and pancakes that Mrs. Li had bought at the market in the morning, and two bowls of stewed pork with cabbage.

Li Sanniang was still greedy for mutton soup, so she ordered a pot of mutton soup on the street, almost one bowl for each person, and ten pancakes.

Brother Li asked while washing his hands, "Is this pork the one that Sanniang and I used for practice in the morning?"

"Second brother, it's the one I used for practice. After you left, I practiced four more times. The pork was unreadable, so my sister-in-law cut it up and stewed it."

At the dinner table, Brother Li and Second Brother Li explained to Father Li and Mother Li how they went to each house to give gifts this morning. Mother Li just wanted to ask Brother Li to take Sister-in-law Li home to give gifts this afternoon. When they arrived at the front yard, Li Gui led Xu Jingzhen, who was carrying a gift box, and his servant, Wuwei, in.

Everyone in the room was very surprised that Xu Jingzhen came, or the second brother Li reacted quickly. At first, he stood up and cupped his hands to Xu Jingzhen: "Your guest is coming, your guest is coming. Are Mr. Xu Lang here all right? Please take a seat."

As he said that, the second brother Li wanted to lead Xu Jingzhen to the main hall, but Xu Jingzhen didn't see any outsiders. Seeing that Li's family was about to have lunch in the yard, he said directly: "Meet Dr. Li, Li Wenpo, Li The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Li family, the second brother and the second sister-in-law of the Li family, and the third lady of the Li family. Some are here to give gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since it is time for lunch at the third lady’s house, a certain one is hungry, can we have dinner together?"

That's the end of the story, Erlang, the son of the British government, came to give the gift in person, but if you want to have a meal together, how can you not agree?
Sister-in-law Li led Wuwei to put the gift box, Second Brother Li moved a chair in the main hall and placed it beside Father Li, Xu Jingzhen sat down without any hesitation.

At this time, Li Sanniang was slandering in her heart, could it be that what Aniang said was true?Xu Sanlang, who is famous on the list of beauties in Chang'an City, has taken a fancy to me?

Otherwise, what did Xu Jingzhen, who had only met Li Sanniang four times and only met Li's family once, come to Li's house to deliver the Mid-Autumn Festival gift in such a season?
It can't be that he wants to thank Father Li for detoxifying Fang Chengxian, right?
At this dinner table, except for Xu Jingzhen himself, every Li family member felt extremely embarrassed.

Especially listening to Xu Jingzhen's embarrassing praise of Li Sanniang, Li's father felt that something was very wrong.

Li's father and Li's mother looked at each other, and both of them understood that Xu Jing really had a crush on his third wife!

 Babies, I promise that Sanniang will really be accepted for the assessment in the next chapter!
  Once again, as long as this article does not write about collapse, there is no cp!
