Hu Diquan said in surprise: "Brother Xu, do you have five hundred taels?"
Xu Liu chuckled: "You don't understand now. Why did I take on this thankless job and run around outside every day? It's because no matter who picks up the Xiaoyao scarf, they have to go through me first. I operate it."
After all, it’s okay for others to take the money and me to take the reward.”
On the way, Hu Diquan specifically asked Xu Liu about this Xiaoyao scarf in detail. Although this matter depends on luck, luck is reserved for those who are prepared.
Only from Xu Liu's mouth did I know that this Xiaoyao scarf was of great significance to Miss Gu and she regarded it as a treasure. It was unknown what special meaning it had.
…
August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.
In Tantai Mansion, the vermilion door is closed, and two bright red lanterns are lit up in the courtyard. The dim red light gives people a warm and warm feeling.
Closing the door means that no one comes in or out, and the whole family is present, implying family reunion.
Inside the mansion, all the large and small doorways and corridors were lit up with lanterns, bathing the entire Tantai Mansion in red light.
In the eternal sky, the moon is as bright as silver. Once the moon shines brightly, it fills the garden.
In the main hall, a family dinner for all members is being held.
Ten Eight Immortals tables were placed from the hall to the large courtyard outside. The sound of laughter and conversation was noisy and it was a lively mess.
On this day, the servants in the mansion, regardless of their age or status, can sit together with Tantai He, the mistress of the Tantai mansion.
Everyone is happy and gathered together. It’s great to feel a sense of intimacy and belonging, even being a member of this family!
As usual, after the family banquet, Tantai Heqing will distribute moon cakes and pastries to all the servants, as well as a reward, so that everyone can spend this Mid-Autumn Festival happily.
The busiest people on this day are the cooks in the house. They are often the last to arrive at the table, and Tantai Heqing will also give the richest reward.
The banquet has already begun.
In this lively atmosphere, Tantai Heqing's table seemed deserted. Only Tantai Wenwang could sit at the same table with her. The distinction between master and servant should be clearly distinguished.
Many people noticed that there was still an important person missing in this family banquet - Mr. Xie, and they all secretly discussed why Mr. Xie hadn't arrived yet.
Tantai Heqing also looked towards the hall door from time to time, beckoned Butler Kong over, and asked in a low voice: "Thank you, why haven't you arrived yet?"
Butler Kong whispered: "Master Xie said that he would personally cook a reunion dish for everyone."
Tantai Heqing complained in a low voice: "There are so many things."
Just then, the cook appeared at the door.
Butler Kong walked out quickly and asked, "Is this the last dish Mr. Xie makes?"
After receiving the confirmation, Butler Kong said loudly: "Bring up the meat Mr. Xie cooked so that everyone can have a good taste."
Butler Kong led the way, and a cook behind him held a plate of meat in both hands, "Come on, come on, bring up the meat Mr. Xie cooked with his own hands, and let the lady have a good taste."
Tantai Heqing asked the cook: "What kind of dish is this?"
The cook responded: "This is the roast pig cooked by Mr. Xie himself. Mr. Xie specifically said that the young lady should be the first to taste it."
After hearing this, Tantai Heqing was elated and smiled, "Okay, I will accept his love."
As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks, put a piece in his mouth, and chewed it lightly. His red lips were as delicate as rose petals.
I don’t know if it’s because of my sweetheart, but Tantai Heqing just felt that it was so delicious that I even lowered my eyes and smiled while eating it. This scoundrel insisted on letting me taste it first, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Tantai Wenwang said: "Sister, I will let Mr. Xie sit down at the table. I will treat him as a brother, and we will be a family from now on."
Tantai Heqing remained silent, but Xia'er whispered beside Tantai Wenwang: "Sir, please stop talking. The lady has her own arrangements."
At this moment, Xie Fu's voice came: "I'm late."
——Master Xie is finally here.
Half of the people stood up involuntarily.
Hu Diquan, Zhu Ming and other male servants sat at a table. His table was near the hall door and had already occupied a seat for Xie Fu.
Hu Diquan immediately stood up and pulled Xie Fu enthusiastically, "Xie Fu, come and sit here."
Butler Kong walked over quickly, knocked off Hu Diquan's enthusiastic hand, and glared at Hu Diquan. He was ignorant. How could such an important person as Mr. Xie not have arrangements?
Butler Kong smiled and said to Xie Fu: "Master Xie, come with me. I have already arranged a place for you and will be waiting for you."
Xia'er took out the bowls and chopsticks, as if they were prepared temporarily.
Everyone immediately understood that Mr. Xie was sitting at the host's table.
When Xie Fu came to Tantai Heqing's table, he was a little flattered and asked: "Sit here?"
Tantai Wenwang immediately said: "Thank you, Fu, you are my brother. If you don't sit here, where can you sit?"
Xie Fu glanced at Tantai Heqing gently, and couldn't help but think of the scene that day in his room, when Tantai Heqing hugged him tightly. At this moment, she looked so cold.
I don’t know if there was a connection between them, but Tantai Heqing also remembered the scene that day. It was really embarrassing that day, and he actually said such shameless words.
Why does the lady love you so much and why will she only love you in the future? Thinking about it now makes my skin crawl all over my body.
His eyes suddenly met with Xie Fu's, his ears turned darkly red, and he said lightly: "I said, we will be a family from now on, sit down."
Xie Fu nodded, sat down, glanced at Tantai Heqing, and then at Tantai Wenwang.
Tantai Wenwang patted his shoulder directly. He spent time with Xie Fu Ni every day and had a better understanding of Xie Fu's situation at the Xie family.
Although Tantai Heqing is cold, you can feel the kindness in her eyes.
Master Xie looked at the bustling Gaotang Hall again, feeling like home in his heart. He inexplicably thought of his master. Without his master, even a home would not be complete.
Before even picking up the food, Tantai Wenwang poured wine for Mr. Xie himself.
Xie Fu said hurriedly: "Wen Wang, I won't drink today."
When Tantai Heqing saw it, he thought to himself, you are a drunkard. You were drunk that day, but today, on this joyful and lively day, you don't drink. What does it mean? "Drink."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xie Fu explained: "Miss, I..."
Tantai Heqing interrupted directly: "I'm happy today, it doesn't matter if I drink a little more."
Xie Fu chuckled and poured wine for Tantai Heqing: "Sister, Wen Wang has been under your care for so many years. I dedicate this glass to you, brother."
Tantai Heqing raised his wine glass and glanced at Xie Fu, "Let's come together."
Mr. Xie also raised his glass: "Miss, if you hadn't taken me in, Mr. Xie wouldn't be living anywhere today. I would like to express my gratitude to you for your kindness."
This sentence makes Tantai Heqing feel embarrassed. I originally only bought you as a tool, but who would have thought that you would steal my heart.
There was no ink on his mouth, he covered his face with his sleeves and drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation, showing a rather bold and unrestrained style.
With a glass of wine in his belly, Tantai He's pretty face immediately turned white and rosy, distinctive and full of femininity.
The family dinner was halfway through. Although it was lively, it lacked some interactive programs.
However, Xie Fu was well prepared. He stood up and said loudly: "I'm going to give you a lantern riddle for everyone to guess. If you guess it, there will be a prize, okay?"
Strangely, Xie Fu's words made the originally lively hall suddenly quiet.
Everyone looked at Tantai Heqing cautiously, "Master Xie, you are taking over the host. Don't forget who is the master of this Tantai Mansion."
Tantai Heqing nodded, "Okay, make it more lively and happy."
When I saw the young lady talking, the scene immediately became heated.
——Master Xie, please solve the mystery quickly.
——Master Xie, don’t make it too difficult.
"Isn't it difficult? The first one is "Solid as promised", give a name to the medicine?"
Xie Fu waited for a long time, but no one guessed it, so he asked: "No one guessed it?"
——Master Xie, the riddle you came up with is too difficult.
Xie Fu said in surprise: "This is still difficult." He always picked the easiest one.
Tantai Heqing saw it and thought to himself, you idiot, there are a few literate people in their group, if you ask an elegant riddle, if any of them can guess it, they should be more vulgar.
Fu Xie seemed to hear Tantai Heqing's voice, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will come up with an easy one. "When the fragrance comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, use it to make wine and entertain guests." Guess a kind of flower."
Still no one has guessed it.
Xia'er asked in a low voice next to Tantai Heqing: "Miss, can't you guess it too?"
Tantai Heqing smiled softly and whispered into Xia'er's ear.
Xia Er said loudly: "I guessed it, it's Osmanthus fragrans."
Everyone suddenly realized, why didn't they think of it? It was just Osmanthus. Why didn't they think of it when it was so simple?
"Sister Xia'er is smart and comes to pick the lucky draw."
Xie Fu took out the lottery that had been prepared long ago, and Xia Er happily picked out a silk handkerchief.
It's not anything expensive, just for fun.
Xie Fu immediately came up with another riddle: "When you do good deeds, you name a fish."
This mystery immediately made people think wildly. The man laughed and the woman blushed secretly.
Xiaoqiu also wanted to show her face, and whispered to Tantai Heqing: "Miss, can't you guess it too?"
Tantai Heqing bit his lip and whispered: "I don't know."
Xiaoqiu said: "Miss, you must know that I also want to win the lottery."
Tantai He's beautiful eyes widened, you are an ignorant girl, you are so easy to speak, but I can't speak, the more you live, the more you regress.
Xie Fuxiao asked: "Can't you guess it?"
——Mr. Xie, your riddle is really too difficult.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "It's not difficult, it's very easy. How about we ask the lady to guess this riddle."
Tantai Heqing opened her beautiful eyes when she heard this, "You scoundrel, how dare you tease me in front of so many servants, you are seeking death!"
The servants didn’t know whether it was because they were drunk or what, but they actually echoed: “Okay.”
——Only the lady can guess this riddle.
Under the gaze of many eyes, Tantai Heqing had no choice but to bite the bullet, secretly clenched her pink fists, and said lightly: "The answer is eel." Presumably these stupid people who can't even guess Osmanthus don't know.
What's going on? As long as the answer is correct.
Xiaoqiu scratched her head, "Isn't it guessing the fish? How could it be the emperor? Miss, are you confused?"
