As the eldest grandson of Haijia, Yaoyao naturally attracts much attention. This full moon banquet is more lively and thoughtful than the last one.
The general's residence is bright in the sun. The people in and out of the residence are busy and lively. Gu Chunzhu picked out a happy but not noisy dress early in the morning, and waited for him to change his clothes before going out after breakfast.
"Mom Liu, find out the hairpin I just received two days ago. It's just right for this dress." Gu Chunzhu stroked his hair on the temples of the mirror.
"Alas." Liu's mother, responding, has turned to take the exquisite jewelry box. She carefully placed it in front of Gu Chunzhu and opened it. From inside, she picked out a hairpin made of jade, which is warm and bright.
"Madam, this hairpin looks good on you." Liu's mother said, a pair of skilled hands have firmly pinned the hairpin into Gu Chunzhu's side of the bun.
"And Ann?" Gu Chunzhu got up and checked his appearance in front of the mirror. Then he remembered to look at the door, but he could not see the shadow of An'an.
"Mom, I'm coming." I didn't see him. First I heard his voice. Ann came from the door with a happy female voice. "Mom, I just met Butler Wang in the yard and saw that he was holding this big box." Ann said, carefully carrying a square lacquer wooden box.
"I happened to ask him. He said he would come and give this to you, and I brought it by the way." Ann put down the box and said, "Mom, what's in it? It seems to be very expensive."
Gu Chunzhu was stunned at first, and then immediately remembered that it was the set of gold jewelry that she asked Butler Wang to take, which had just been beaten up and sent to the mansion the other day.
"To say it's gold is indeed gold." Gu Chunzhu came to him with a smile and opened it slowly. "This is the full moon gift I specially asked the craftsman to make for your brother Yaoyao. The gift is lighter than the affection."
"Wow." An'an smelt the words and immediately took a look. The golden jewelry reflected in her big eyes like black grapes, which made her not only sigh, "this time it's really exquisite and beautiful. It seems that it's all right to say that slow work makes fine work."
Gu Chunzhu looked at her surprised face with a smile, and couldn't help touching her forehead. "It's almost time. Let's go."
"Well." An'an nods and goes to the carriage outside the house with Gu Chunzhu.
Gu Chunzhu carefully lifts An'an to the carriage, then enters the carriage and sits down, raises his hand and puts the jewelry box handed by mother Liu into the carriage, then signals her to let the coachman go.
There are many people in Haifu who come to participate in the full moon wine. The front of the door is always bustling. Several big guests are accompanied by haishaoye himself.
As soon as an official was sent in at the front foot, young master jiaohai looked up and saw Gu Chunzhu and his party. He came to him with a smile on his face and said happily, "madam, you can come. I've been waiting for you."
Gu Chunzhu smiled politely to master Hai's warm greetings, nodded and followed him into the mansion. The full moon banquet of Haifu has already been opened, many guests have been seated, but there is still a place vacant. She looked up at the time, but before she could open the table, she offered to go to liuxiniang first.
"Good." Because of today's happiness, young master Hai didn't say much. He let the servant girl in the mansion lead Gu Chunzhu to Liu xinniang's place.
"The stream." Gu Chunzhu's brisk voice came, and Liu xinniang welcomed her up with a happy embrace of Yao Yao.
"Ouch, it's only a few days since I disappeared, and I've become a fat boy." Gu Chunzhu chuckled and pinched her little face, then looked up at Liu xinniang. When he saw her rosy, he was relieved.
Gu Chunzhu and Liu xinniang just said a few words of self-respect here. Someone called ahead and said that the banquet was about to begin.
At the full moon ceremony, when Yao Yao shaved his fetal hair, master Hai asked Gu Chunzhu to put on the set of gold jewelry she sent him. Once the gold jewelry was made, the guests could not help but give a sigh. Then the banquet began in the crowd's congratulations.
When Gu Chunzhu left Haifu and returned to the general's mansion, it was dark. Xu is eating a lot of fish and meat at the full moon banquet in Haifu. Gu Chunzhu feels that his stomach is churning with a bit of disgust. He wants to eat some cabbage to relieve the tiredness, so he asks his mother Liu to make a bowl of cabbage and ham soup in the kitchen.
In the quiet room, the candle flickered gently, Gu Chunzhu sipped the soup leisurely, and he could not help but feel that the time passed so fast, another month in the blink of an eye.
"By the way, what's the price of the dishes outside of mother Liu?" Gu Chunzhu looked at the cabbage leaves in the bowl and asked suddenly.
"Madam, the price is still rising." Mother Liu replied.
"Still rising?" Gu Chunzhu repeated it thoughtfully, with a worried look at the bottom of his eyes. After a long pause, he lowered his head and continued to drink the soup.
After a few days of calm in the general's mansion, Gu Chunzhu was sitting in a daze in the flower house, when he heard the sound of Liu's mother's hurried footsteps.
"Madame, there's a letter from the general." Liu said as she handed over the intact envelope.As soon as Gu Chunzhu saw it, he was overjoyed to pick up the letter, tore it open and took it out. His big eyes swept over the paper.
"Madam, what did the general say in the letter?" Seeing the joy and hale and hearty light in Gu Chunzhu's eyes, mother Liu thought that there must be good news, so she couldn't help asking.
"Brother Wang said that the plague of locusts in the South had been stabilized. In a few days, he would come back." Gu Chunzhu said to cover the letter in his chest, mouth with happiness, said, "Mom Liu, did you send all the fashionable materials collected in the past few days to the embroidery shop?"
"Well." Mother Liu nodded, wondering what she meant.
"Let's go to the embroidery shop with me." Gu Chunzhu, with a happy face, carefully put away the letter and said, "go and make some new clothes for brother Wang."
Liu's mother heard immediately followed her out of the flower house, but also heard Gu Chunzhu some excited whisper, "I don't know if he is thin."
As soon as he entered the embroidery workshop, Gu Chunzhu didn't care to greet her, so he went straight to Luo Xinlan. After a turn, I finally found her in a room.
"Sister Luo, are you busy?" Gu Chunzhu asked with a smile. When Luo Xinlan saw her, he immediately handed the work in his hand to xiuniang. He went up and said with a smile, "why do you come in such a hurry? I'll go to the front hall to find you."
Gu Chunzhu smiled and shook his head, letting Liu's mother take out her own embroidered pattern from her arms. "I'm here to make brother Wang some new clothes. The materials are the most fashionable ones. I'll give this to you, and you can see the arrangement."
