Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 173 Mid-Autumn Night (addition for Li Meidao)

Hu Diquan asked in surprise, "Brother Xu, do you have 500 taels?"

Xu Liu chuckled: "You don't understand now. Why do I take on this thankless job and run around outside every day? It's because no matter who picks up the Xiaoyao Towel, they have to go through my level first. I operate it." After all, it’s okay for others to receive money and I will receive the reward.”

On the way, Hu Diquan deliberately asked Xu Liu about this happy towel in detail. Although it is a matter of luck, luck is reserved for those who are prepared.

Only then did I know from Xu Liu's mouth that this Xiaoyao scarf is of great significance to Miss Gu, and she regards it as a treasure, but I don't know what special significance it has.

……

August [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

In Tantai Mansion, the vermilion gate was closed, and two bright red lanterns were lit up in the gate. The red lights gave people a warm and warm feeling.

The door is closed, which means that no one comes in and out, and the whole family is present, implying family reunion.

In the mansion, all the gates, courtyards and corridors were lit with lanterns, immersing the entire Tantai Mansion in red light.

In the eternal sky, the moonlight is like silver.Once the wind and moon shine, the garden is full of glory.

In the main hall, a family banquet is being held.

Ten tables of Eight Immortals were placed from the hall to the big courtyard outside, and the laughter and conversations were noisy and lively.

On this day, the servants in the mansion, no matter how old or young they are, can sit in the same room with Tantai He, the mistress of Tantai Mansion.

Everyone is happy, gathered together, can feel a sense of intimacy and belonging, even a member of this family, it's great!

According to the usual practice, after the family banquet, Tantai Heqing will also 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 mansion, they are usually the last to arrive, and Tantai Heqing will also give the richest reward.

The banquet has already begun.

In this lively atmosphere, Tantai Heqing's table seemed deserted, Tantai Wenwang was the only person who could sit at the same table with her, and the distinction between master and servant should be clearly distinguished.

Many people have noticed that there is still an important person missing in this family banquet—Mr. Xie. They all secretly discuss why Mr. Xie hasn't arrived yet.

Tantai Heqing also looked towards the hall door from time to time, beckoned to call Steward Kong, and asked in a low voice: "Xie Fu, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Butler Kong said in a low voice: "Young Master Xie said that he would cook himself and make a reunion dish for everyone."

Tantai Heqing complained in a low voice: "There are so many things."

At this moment, the figure of the cook appeared at the door.

Butler Kong walked out quickly and asked, "Is this the last dish Mr. Xie cooked?"

After being confirmed, Steward Kong deliberately said loudly: "Bring up the meat made by Mr. Xie, and let everyone have a good taste."

Steward Kong led the way, and a cook behind him held a plate of meat with both hands, "Come here, bring the meat made by Mr. Xie himself, and let the lady taste it."

Tantai Heqing asked the cook: "What kind of dish is this?"

The cook replied: "This is the roast pig made by Mr. Xie himself. Mr. Xie specifically said that the 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 lightly. His red lips were like rose petals, tender and tender.

I don't know if it's because of my sweetheart, but Tantai Heqing only felt that it was so delicious, and she lowered her eyes and smiled slightly while eating it, this rascal, he insisted on letting me taste it first, I don't know what's on his mind.

Tantai Wenwang said: "Sister, let Xie Fu sit down at this table soon, I will treat him as a brother, and we will be a family from now on."

Tantai Heqing remained silent, but Xia'er whispered next to Tantai Wenwang: "Sir, don't talk about it, Miss has her own arrangements."

At this moment, Xie Fu's voice came: "I'm late."

— Mr. Xie finally came.

Half of the people stood up involuntarily.

Hu Diquan, Zhu Ming sat at a table with other male servants, and his table was near the hall door, which had already been occupied by Xie Fu.

Hu Diquan got up immediately and pulled Xie Fu enthusiastically, "Xie Fu, come, sit here."

Butler Kong walked over quickly, knocked off Hu Diquan's enthusiastic hand, and gave Hu Diquan a stare. He was ignorant. Can there be no arrangements for such an important person as Mr. Xie?
Butler Kong said to Xie Fu with a smile: "Young Master Xie, come with me, I have already arranged a seat for you, and I will wait for you."

Xia'er took the bowls and chopsticks, as if prepared temporarily.

Everyone immediately understood that Mr. Xie was sitting at the master's seat.

When Xie Fu came to Tantai Heqing's table, he was a little flattered and asked, "Would you like to sit here?"

Tantai Wenwang immediately said: "Xie Fu, you are my brother, if you don't sit here, where should you sit?"

Xie Fu looked at Tantai Heqing lightly, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Tantai Heqing hugged her tightly in his room that day, but at this moment she looked so cold.

I don't know if there is a tacit understanding, Tantai Heqing also remembered the scene of that day, it was really embarrassing that day, and he said such shameless words.

What Miss loves you, why will I only love you in the future, thinking about it now, I have goosebumps all over my body.

His eyes suddenly met with Xie Fu's, his ears turned red, and he said lightly: "I said, we will be a family from now on, please sit down."

Xie Fu nodded, sat down, took a look at Tantai Heqing, and then at Tantaiwen.

Tantai Wenwang patted directly on the shoulder, he was tired of spending time with Xie Fu every day, and he knew better about Xie Fu's situation in Xie's house.

Although Tantai Heqing was cold, she could still feel kindness from her eyes.

Master Xie looked at the bustling hall again, feeling a sense of home in his heart, and somehow thought of the master, a place without a master, even a home would not be complete.

Before serving food, Tantai Wenwang personally poured wine for Xie Fu.

Xie Fu hurriedly said, "Wen Wang, I won't drink today."

When Tantaihe saw Qingqing, he wondered in his heart, you drunkard, you were so drunk that day, but today you don't drink in this happy and lively day, what does it mean, "Drink."

Xie Fu explained: "Miss, I..."

Tantai Heqing directly interrupted: "I'm happy today, it doesn't matter if I drink a little more."

Xie Fu chuckled, and also poured wine for Tantai He: "Sister, Wen Wang has been taken care of by you for so many years, I respect you with this glass of brother."

Tantai Heqing raised his wine glass, glanced at Xie Fu, "Come together."

Xie Fu also raised his glass: "Miss, if you hadn't taken me in, Xie Fu wouldn't know where he is today. This is a cup of respect for Miss' kindness."

Tantai He feels sorry for saying this sentence, I was just bought to use you as a tool, who would have thought that you would steal my heart.

There was no ink stain on his mouth, he raised his sleeves to cover his face, and drank it all in one gulp, without the slightest tweaking, quite bold and unrestrained.

After drinking a glass of wine, Tantai Crane's pretty face immediately turned rosy, distinctive and feminine.

The family banquet was halfway through, although it was lively, it lacked some interactive programs.

Xie Fu was already prepared, stood up, and said loudly: "I'll come out with lantern riddles for everyone to guess, how about a lottery?"

The strange thing is that Xie Fu's words made the originally lively hall suddenly quiet.

Everyone cautiously looked at Tantai Heqing, Mr. Xie, you are taking the lead, don't forget who is the master of Tantai Mansion.

Tantai Heqing nodded, "Okay, let's be lively and happy."

Seeing that the young lady let go, the scene immediately heated up.

——Young Master Xie, solve the mystery quickly.

——Young Master Xie, don't make it too difficult.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, the first one is "as firm as the previous agreement", and the name of the medicine?"

Xie Fu waited for a long time, but no one guessed it, and asked: "Did you guess it?"

——Young Master Xie, the riddle you solved is too difficult.

Xie Fu said in surprise: "This is still difficult." He always picked the easiest one.

When Tantaihe saw Qingqing, he thought to himself, you idiot, how many of them can read and write, if you come up with an elegant riddle, whoever can guess it, it should be a little more vulgar.

Xie Fu seemed to hear the voice of Tantai Crane, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will make an easy one, "When the fragrance of Mid-Autumn Festival comes, use it to make wine and feast guests", guess a kind of flower."

Still no one guessed it.

Xia'er asked in a low voice beside Tantai Heqing: "Miss, can't you guess it?"

Tantai Heqing smiled lightly, and whispered into Xia'er's ear.

Xia'er said loudly: "I guessed it, it's sweet-scented osmanthus."

Everyone suddenly realized, why didn't they think of it? Isn't it just sweet-scented osmanthus, so simple, why didn't they think of it.

"It's still Miss Xia'er who is smart, come to pick the lottery."

Xie Fu took out the lottery that he had prepared long ago, and Xia'er happily picked out a silk handkerchief.

It's not something expensive, it's just for fun.

Xie Fu immediately came up with another mystery: "If you do a good deed, you will be named as a fish."

This riddle immediately made people think about it, the man laughed, and the woman blushed secretly.

Xiao Qiu also wanted to show her face, and whispered to Tantai Heqing: "Miss, can't you guess it?"

Tantai Heqing bit her lips and said in a low voice: "I don't know."

But Xiao Qiu said: "Miss, you must know that I also want to win the lottery."

Tantai Heqing stared at her beautiful eyes, you ignorant girl, you are so easy to speak, don't I know how to speak, the more you live, the more regressed you become.

Xie Fu asked with a smile, "Can't you even guess it?"

——Young Master Xie, your riddle is really too difficult.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "It's not difficult, it's very easy. Let's invite the young lady to guess this riddle."

Tantai Heqing opened her beautiful eyes when she heard the words, you rascal, how dare you molested me in front of so many servants, you are looking for death!
The servants didn't know whether they were drunk or what happened, but they agreed, "Okay."

——This riddle can only be guessed by the young lady.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, Tantai Heqing had no choice but to bite the bullet, clenched her fists secretly, but said lightly: "The answer is rice field eel." Presumably this group of stupid people who can't even guess the sweet-scented osmanthus don't know What's going on, the answer is right.

Xiao Qiu scratched her head, "Didn't you guess the fish? How could it be the emperor, Miss, are you confused?"
