Chapter 162: Everyone has their own thoughts on Mid-Autumn Festival
This time I was caught off guard. Several pastry shops didn't react. They could only beat their chests and curse the boss of "Sweet Sweet" for being treacherous. They didn't even research cakes and breads, so they just came here and the things looked similar.
, but their products are popular. I originally wanted to imitate others in making fancy gift boxes, but not only was it too late, I was even more dejected when I asked later.
Because Luo Jingyao continued to explain, the gift boxes were also divided into three, six or nine grades, and the best one was actually the huanghuali one, with a mooncake polished and carved with topaz inlaid on it.
The worst thing is chicken wing wood. On the box are mooncakes made of either jade or Chang'e rabbit and laurel tree, plus two auspicious words, who doesn't like it?
It's so simple.
But it’s so expensive, why are so many people buying it? The supply is still in short supply?
Those who cried with anger naturally cried with envy, and tears flowed from the corners of their mouths.
Luo Jingyao didn't care about this. She counted the money until her hands cramped and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
Since everyone else had entered the palace, she, the soon-to-be-married woman, had no choice but to dress up and walk on the streets.
It's not evening yet, and the restaurants on both sides of the street are decorated with silk and satin, and they are covered with flowers, which is very beautiful.
Luo Jingyao asked the people on duty to stay in the store, and gave everyone else a holiday. However, she had to follow the customs, and she also had colorful silks, rabbit lanterns, Chang'e paintings, etc. hung up.
In the evening, the atmosphere of the festival becomes even more intense, with loud voices, the fragrance of cinnamon and osmanthus floating in the air, and friends gathering in groups, leaning against the railings to admire the moon, drinking and singing.
In the lake not far away, the lights are brilliant, and the lights are floating on the water, shining like stars, which is very spectacular.
Buildings, boats and colorful boats are crowded with people, lights are brightly lit, and fairy music is floating.
Children laughed and played, and adults laughed and cursed.
Only then did Luo Jingyao feel the anger and fireworks of this era.
In the streets close to the palace, you can hear the sound of Sheng and Yu, as if it is outside the clouds.
Luo Jingyao looked up and then slowly returned to her home. The masters of the family had all entered the palace. In addition to the old lady of Ning'an Hall and her, there were also servants in the mansion. However, knowing that she would get married tomorrow, they added
It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the house is even more lively today.
My mother originally said she would come back early to celebrate the festival with her, but unfortunately, I am afraid it will be late again today.
In fact, she was looking forward to it because this was her last Mid-Autumn Festival at her parents' home.
After she returned home, she asked the cook to steam the crabs. She wanted to eat some steamed crabs. If she didn't come back after eating, she went to bed.
Soon, steamed crabs, crab meat porridge, and crab roe buns were served, but before she started, she heard the report from the servants that the ancestor was coming.
Luo Jingyao ran out happily, and was very moved in her heart. Today, the minister and his family entered the palace, but the ancestor refused because he was old and did not like the excitement. Now he came directly to accompany Luo Jingyao.
What Luo Jingyao didn't know was that while she and her ancestors were drinking sweet-scented osmanthus wine, admiring the moon and eating mooncakes, something went wrong in the palace.
"I promised to spend time with my daughter today, but now, when can I go back?" Mrs. Guo Gong looked at the high-spirited old emperor above and said to him through gritted teeth, but there was a gentle and appropriate look on her face.
smile.
"Mother, why don't we leave early? It won't matter to us anyway." The emperor would not allow it.
"No, it should be soon. It's the same as in previous years, but this year..." It took a little longer than in previous years.
Different from the anxiety of the Duke of Guo, everyone else was echoing the emperor and the princes.
Luo Jingyao did not come today, but Prince An was there. He sat in his seat without saying a word and drank with his head down. He glanced at the seats in the Duke's Mansion from the corner of his eyes and knew that the little girl would not come today.
.
only,
The brothers of the Luo family also frowned slightly, because they could feel the eyes of those above looking at them.
"Puch."
"This is Lingyun?" The queen looked at the second princess, Xiao Lingyun.
"After returning to my mother, I just saw something for fun." Xiao Lingyun sat on the princess's chair bohemianly, raising the corners of his eyes as he replied to the queen's question.
"Oh? What fun thing made our second princess interested?" the queen asked with interest.
The emperor also looked at the second princess.
The imperial concubine's eyes warned her daughter not to cause trouble.
The second princess glanced at the encouraging second prince, and she smiled and said to Yan Yan.
All the ministers above were watching. When they saw what the second princess wanted to say, their voices became quieter.
"Your Majesty, leave her alone. This girl is so interesting in everything she sees. Shouldn't we go to the Star Observation Deck to enjoy the moon? I will never forget the feeling of reaching out and touching the stars at the Star Observation Deck."
The imperial concubine always felt that the second princess had nothing good to say.
After the divorce with Wenchang Bo's second son, the emperor didn't have a good look on his daughter. The ministers even asked his daughter to go to the nunnery every day. He was even aggrieved that his daughter had not attended the banquet for three years in a row. She finally begged the emperor to agree.
, but we cannot let our daughter mess with the emperor.
"My mother is right," the second princess said after looking at her head.
The corners of his mouth were raised high, he was much more handsome than Jiang Yi. If she had met this man first, there would be nothing wrong with Jiang Yi.
Wenchang Bo Crown Prince Jiang Yu clenched his fists, his eyes bursting with hatred, this bitch, [slut] woman.
Wen Changbo took a sip of wine, which made his chest hurt and his throat felt even more burning. However, he held his eldest son tightly with one hand and lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the pain and disgust in his eyes.
"Let's go to the Star Observation Deck now." The emperor glanced at the second princess in warning, glared at the Imperial Concubine, snorted coldly, stood up and helped the Queen Mother to the Star Observation Deck.
It was rare that the old emperor was short of breath when facing Wenchangbo Mansion, but who asked his daughter to force his son to death? Good children and in-laws, that's it...
The eldest prince saw all this and looked at the queen. The mother and son raised their lips sarcastically.
It would be strange if the emperor could let the second princess succeed this time, but he had to guard against the second princess's mischief.
The second princess seemed unaware of everyone's opinions on her, and even slowly fell behind.
"What did you do?"
"Mother, I want to go change." Yue Jinhua pursed her lips. If Yao'er was here, what would she do? There are many noble girls in the capital, but they can't get along with her. For example, the one from the Liu family kept looking at her, like a cake.
Yue Jinhua glared at Liu Yueqing fiercely.
Liu Yueqing was stunned and rolled her eyes and turned away. She was so redundant.
Su Lianyi saw all this in her eyes. After looking at her brother, her face slowly darkened. Before, Liu Yueqing would become extremely nervous whenever she showed a sad expression. Since the last time she and her group came to Jinghu Road, no matter what
She posted an invitation and asked someone to bring some gadgets between them. Liu Yueqing just ignored her. Now that she's fine, she actually wants to have a relationship with Yue Jinhua.
