Li Lin nodded. In fact, there was something about Shi Huiqin. Shi Huiqin was about to die. It was right for Shi Huiqin to come back and see Shi Huiqin. After all, she was his biological sister. It was just that he didn't want to talk about Shi Huiqin's matter, and Su Wan didn't want to hear it either. I skipped it.
Not long after, Shi replied and tidied up at home, and then came to the house with Shi Huihua. When he came, he also brought some homemade preserved fruits and mooncakes. The mooncakes were made by Zhou himself and contained osmanthus. Mixed stuffing.
"My mother tried to make some. She made osmanthus jam from the newly bloomed osmanthus, and then mixed it with some peanuts, sesame seeds and sugar. It tastes pretty good. My cousin and the princess's sister-in-law should try it."
Su Wan asked them to sit down: "Then we really have to taste it."
She broke off a moon cake and shared half with Li Lin each. It was delicious, but she had eaten too many moon cakes today and her taste was a little tired, so she just wanted to taste it.
Shi Huixin and Shi Huihua sat down. Shi Huixin lifted the sandalwood box in his hand and said, "This box was given to the princess by my in-laws."
"My father gave it to me?"
Su Wan's eyes swept over the box. The box was not big. It was only about the size of a normal box for makeup and powder, and it was not tall. It had some peonies delicately carved and painted on it, which made it look very beautiful.
Xiao Sang stepped forward and took the box. It was quite heavy inside. She opened the box and checked it. After seeing that there was no problem, she sent it to Su Wan.
Xiao Sang said: "Master Shi, please don't be offended. I don't know if this thing may have been manipulated by others during the process. It needs to be checked."
If it were in the past, there would be no need to be like this. Su Wan was a noble daughter of a public family, and no one would deliberately take her life. But now that Su Wan's status is different, she needs to be more careful in dealing with things.
Shi replied not caring: "This is what it should be."
Su Wan opened the box and took a look, and saw many gold products inside, including various gold leaves, golden peanuts, and some golden fruits, such as golden persimmons, golden loquats, golden pears, etc. There are all of them, a box full of them.
"It's all gold." Su Wan took out the golden persimmon inside. The golden persimmon was made lifelike. The persimmons were made of gold and the leaves were made of jade. They were emerald green and very beautiful. "It's so beautiful. .”
Shi Huixin raised his eyes and understood: "This should be a new product from Baochai Tower, called 'Jinyu Mantang'. It is made of gold and jade, and contains grains and fruits."
"I've heard people talk about it, saying that Baochai Tower has produced a total of ninety-nine sets of 'Golden and Jade Houses', and each set contains thirty-eight items, all of which are exquisite and valuable."
"The ladies and ladies of the Imperial City are in a great hurry to grab this 'rich house full of gold and jade'."
"Father took the trouble."
Su Wan was moved. It was not easy to get this set. There were many noble people in this imperial city. Even those who could be ranked would have to spend a lot of money. Moreover, Su Xun specially asked someone to send it here. give her.
"Thank you cousin for bringing the things over for me."
Shi wrote back: "The princess is too polite, it's just a small matter."
Although the box weighed a little, it was nothing to the man, and he didn't carry it all the way back. He was sitting in a carriage, so he just got in and lifted it up, then came down and took it off.
"If nothing happens, my second sister and I will go back and have dinner later."
"Cousin, go slowly. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I won't keep you here." Su Wan nodded. Li Lin stood up to see the guests off and sent them to the door. He then turned back.
Su Wan asked Xiao Sang to place the 'full house of gold and jade' on the table at the back. After the placement was completed, Li Lin happened to come back, and the two of them went to the garden to watch today's banquet.
The sun was setting at this moment, and the clouds in the sky were dyed with rosy colors, making the ground red.
The tables and chairs were set up early, and the previously prepared tea, mooncakes, dried fruits, preserved fruits and other items were also placed on them. The couple sat down and chatted for a while, so that everyone could sit down and eat when they were done.
When the afterglow of the setting sun gradually set, the sky gradually fell into darkness, and a moon appeared in the sky. Someone then lit the lamps hanging in the garden today. The lamps lit up one by one, illuminating the entire garden as if it were daytime.
There is an evening breeze blowing, like the laughter of children in the village, full of liveliness and celebration.
Everyone in the garden is very happy. Although they have been busy for several days, it is also an extremely joyful thing to gather happily and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Moreover, the host's family was wealthy, with clothing and food, and a banquet was prepared. Later, there would be barbecue.
At this time, the food began to be served in the kitchen, and everyone sat down to eat. During the dinner, the girls talked while eating, and the men began to eat with open bellies.
There are also some who have started to drink from cup to cup, such as Jiubian, Guanshi Zhang, Daxia Xie, Mr. Yu, Mr. Yan, etc.
The guards have always abstained from alcohol, even when they were on duty and resting, they would not drink alcohol.
People like them are prepared to face emergencies anytime and anywhere to protect their master. If they are drunk and unable to do anything at that time, it would be a serious crime.
He likes to drink when traveling far away. His only hobby is eating and drinking. However, he will drink some to satisfy his craving when it is safe. However, he will not get drunk while drinking. It seems that the more he fights, the harder he drinks. This wine The more you drink, the more sober you become. Fighting after drinking is even more life-threatening.
The banquet was set up at two tables in the waterside pavilion, and the rest were in the open space of the garden. Su Wan and Li Lin sat at one table, and beside them sat Sun Xiang Xie, Mr. Yu, Mr. Yan, and Jiubian Zhang, the manager.
Jiubian and Manager Zhang were the most capable people around Li Lin. With them chatting with him while drinking, they soon had Mr. Yu, Mr. Yan and Mr. Xie drinking a lot of wine.
Then Jiubian's target fell on Sun Xiang.
Jiubian said with a smile: "Is it possible that Mr. Sun doesn't like drinking? Or is the wine in our Jingpingyuan so bad that it won't appeal to Mr. Sun?"
Sun Xiang fanned himself with a fan and narrowed his eyes slightly. There seemed to be a smile in his eyes, which was quite charming.
"Sir, you are joking. This wine is a hard-to-find good wine. Why can't it catch my eye? This Mid-Autumn Festival and the beautiful scenery make me very happy, but I always feel that there is a fox calling next to me. It's very strange. It’s a bit annoying, the wine is a bit boring.”
"Oh? Fox? Where is it? I didn't see it." Jiubian smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke a strand of hair, then spread out the fan in his hand and smiled gracefully, "If there is a fox, that would be great. Yes, capture it and raise it for Madam."
It was really interesting to see the two of them going back and forth. Su Wan was watching a play when she didn't expect to be called by her name. She smiled and said, "You're welcome. I like to grow flowers and don't like to raise foxes. Grandson I like it, sir, so why not just leave it to Mr. Sun to raise?"
"What do you think, Mr. Jiubian?"
