    Chapter 24 Draw a good lottery

    Pei Fei came to Lin's house again.

    Pei Fei and Lin Yan were originally from the same town, and their family backgrounds were similar. They both had good surnames, but they were all gone. The difference was that the Lin family was completely broken, and the Pei Fei family was a small dead branch on the Pei family tree. . When the two were in Hedong, they studied together, formed a society together, and invested in banking papers together. Cui Xun, the prefect of Puzhou, saw that both of them were young, promising and graceful, and once called them "Lianbi".

    However, the official fortunes of the two were very different. Pei Fei first kept his filial piety to his ancestors and his father for several years. Finally, he took part in the examination of the Ministry of Rites, but was stuck in the examination of the Ministry of Personnel, and was not granted an official position for three years. In the spring of this year, he finally passed the system and was granted the post of Jiu-pin school secretary. At this time, Lin Yan had already put on a red robe and had become Jingzhao Shaoyin.

    People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away! Fortunately, Pei Fei is really big-hearted, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hang out with this old friend.

    Because they are former friends and juniors, Pei Fei and Lin Yan accompany Mrs. Jiang Tai for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    Mrs. Jiang Tai had a bad memory, but she remembered Pei Fei and called him "Twelve Lang", and he and Lin Yan, the "Big Lang", were like brothers.

    "Family" enjoying the moon and drinking wine in the Xiaoxuan in the back garden.

    Mrs. Jiang Tai broke off a piece of snowskin mooncake with jujube paste and slowly ate it, "It seems to taste similar to the Qixi flower cake that I ate a few days ago..."

    Lin Yan smiled, grandmother's memory is sometimes too good.

    Mrs. Tai likes soft, sweet and greasy stuffing. She is very satisfied with the stuffing of jujube paste, so she persuades Pei Fei and Lin Yan: "Twelve Lang, Da Lang, you can also try it."

    Pei Fei smiled and took a piece of roasted skin, and was about to break it apart, when he noticed the words on it, "One branch in Guilin, one piece of jade in Kunshan"①.

    There is also a word on the back of the cake, "Splendid future, a cup of congratulations".

    Toad Palace Zhegui, it is really a good mouth color. Osmanthus is also in season, Mid-Autumn Festival.

    Lin Yan also took a piece, looked at the words on it for a while, then opened it as if nothing had happened, and took a bite.

    Pei Fei wanted to know what else was written on it, so he took another piece. The front read "The moon is the hometown of Ming Dynasty", and the back read "Together with distant relatives and friends."

    Whoops, that's really interesting.

    The maid next to the wine said with a smile: "This cake is called 'moon fortune cake', just like the lottery in the temple, used for games during the banquet."

    "Whose idea is this?" Pei Fei asked with a smile.

    "This - the maid doesn't know, I only know that I bought it from outside." The maid smiled.

    Pei Fei drew a "good lottery" and couldn't help but feel a little happy, so he asked Lin Yan, "An Ran, what's on your cake?"

    Lin Yan said lightly, "Nothing, just two auspicious words."

    But Pei Fei had already stretched out his hand and took the half of him, only the words "Jiaoxi" and "Liaoxi" were left on the front, and the words "Beautiful Woman" and "A Cup" were on the back.

    Pei Fei laughed and handed the half of the cake to Mrs. Jiang Tai, "Congratulations to Mrs. Tai, the good thing about coming to An Ran is coming. We have to follow the words on this cake and have a cup of congratulations."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai was very familiar with the scriptures, and at a glance she could see that it was "the moon is shining brightly, and the people are outstanding". After listening to the explanation from the servant girl and Pei Fei's words just now, she guessed that the first half of the sentence was " You must have a beautiful woman." He also laughed at the moment, and said to Lin Yan happily, "It's time to have a drink together!"

    Pei Fei looked at Mrs. Jiang Tai's eyes, "An Ran just wanted to get in there..."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai pretended to be stern: "You must drink."

    Although the servants and servants did not understand poetry, but they understood the words, they all laughed.

    Lin Yan pursed his lips and raised his glass with a helpless smile.

    After taking a sip of wine, Mrs. Jiang Tai also curiously picked up a baked skin moon cake and read the words on it: "The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai smiled and said, "It's so good! It's so good! It fits the situation."

    Lin Yan and Pei Fei both raised their wine glasses and respected Mrs. Jiang Tai together.

    Mrs. Jiang Tai's old people, after a few sips of wine, it's not too early, and they are tired, so they go back to the room to rest first, and don't let the younger generation send them, "You guys play with you, I have Asu and the others."

    Lin Yan and Pei Fei only sent them to the gate of the garden, and then turned back. Without his wife, Pei Fei was more at ease. He brought the plate of moon fortune cakes to him and looked at them one by one, and then he finally knew the reason for his good luck - there is nothing wrong with "signing" here." A smooth journey", "Rich and safe", "Talent and elegant"...

    If it's just like this, it's boring, and the person who makes the cake is making a joke. For example, in this piece, "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and make three people in the shadow", the words behind it turned out to be "drunk, stop drinking." Pei Fei spit out a sip of tea.

    Lin Yan frowned at him with a smile.

    Pei Fei shook his hands with laughter and handed him the cake.

    Lin Yan also couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he pursed his lips again, the little lady's house is so narrow!

    Shen Shaoguang didn't know that he was being complained about because of his sense of humor, and was selling moon cakes and flower cakes.

    There are lights in July and a half, and in August and a half, lights are also hung in the shop, and there are many people strolling around. Shen Shaoguang gave A Yuan a handful of copper coins, put her on leave, and stayed in the shop by himself.

    Shen Ji's reputation for selling cakes has already started in the workshop, especially children know that when they go shopping and watch the lights pass by, they pester the adults in the family to come in to buy them.

    Even if disliked the price of these moon cakes before, will probably buy a few pieces at this time - for the holidays, besides, it is naturally expensive to buy the whole box, but it is still affordable to buy three or two pieces.

    Shen Shaoguang was still afraid of the rest - this thing has passed today, but it will have to be sold with arms and legs cut off. I didn't expect it to sell so quickly, and there are not many left in a blink of an eye.

    Shen Shaoguang put a few baked mooncakes in the pancake bag and handed them to a couple, "You take it." He threw the copper coins he received into the money duster, looked up, and Liu Lang was not standing under the tree at the door. Who is Jun?

    Although Liu Langjun came to eat often these days, he spoke less. Sometimes he seemed to look at himself secretly. Shen Shaoguang looked at him, but he turned his eyes away. Sometimes he seemed to want to say something, but didn't say it.

    Shen Shaoguang wanted to joke like in his previous life: "Hey, brother! Are you?

    crush

    me? "But in the end, considering the factors of the times, I didn't dare to make a mistake.

    Seeing this person again at this time, standing silently under the tree, like a scene, Shen Shaoguang felt helpless, but he had no choice but to smile at him.

    Shen Shaoguang felt that they were like Jing'er, and Liu Feng felt that Shen Shaoguang was like a painting.

    In the bamboo husks, under the light, the graceful and graceful beauties, with beautiful eyes and beautiful smiles, are just like the fairies in the moon, right?

    The author has something to say: ① The original sentence of "Book of Jin": "A branch in Guilin, a piece of jade in Kunshan". It is said to be the origin of the word Toad Palace Zhegui. "The moon shines brightly, and the outstanding people come out" in the Book of Songs. The rest of the verses are very popular, so I will not comment them one by one.
