The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 293
"Well, then our family will all be there." Father Shen spoke.

After the meal, Zhou Shi and Shen Xuan went to the kitchen and prepared to make baked mooncakes.This year, in addition to preparing for my own family, I also need to prepare some more and send them to the general's mansion.Jin Wangfu.Zhongyonghou's Mansion, Prince's Mansion, Brother Qiu and Brother Dong will also give to Master and some familiar classmates.

Last year, Shen Xuan made mooncakes in various styles.The filling is heavy, especially when it is just baked, it is golden in color.Fragrant and delicious, tempting everyone's saliva.Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the General's Mansion and Prince Jin's Mansion both sent gifts, and the gold and silver treasures were no match, so Shen Xuan had to make homemade moon cakes and watermelon as gifts.Those who didn't eat it first said yes, this year several houses specially sent people to tell them that they still want to eat mooncakes made by Shen's house.

Zhou and Shen Xuan took a few maids to work in the kitchen for a whole day before baking the mooncakes they needed.On the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month, I ordered people to send the packed baskets to various households. Brother Qiu and Brother Dong also took their servants out to deliver mooncakes.Shen Xuan also delivered Tian Lele's portion at night.

On August [-]th, the whole mansion was busy.For the reunion dinner in the evening, the kitchen began to be busy just after noon.The Shen family has always been kind to their servants, and they will be rewarded accordingly during the festival, besides silver, there are also good banquets.

"Twilight clouds are collected and the cold is cold, and the silver man turns the jade plate silently. This life and this night are not good, so where will the bright moon look next year?" Brother Qiu spoke to the full moon above his head.

"Okay, brother finished his poem, it's time for fourth brother." Shen Xuan turned her head to ask brother Dong, with such a beautiful day and beautiful scenery, she naturally wanted to have some fun, but she didn't hear that the lilacs not far away were all making a fuss Yet?
"Yeah, it's time for Brother Dong." Mrs. Zhou agreed, and Father Shen also nodded beside him.Although the two of them didn't understand the poems in Brother Qiu's mouth, this did not hinder their enthusiasm.

Brother Dong didn't expect to be shot while sitting there. Seeing that his relatives were in high spirits, he didn't interrupt him. After thinking about it, he said aloud, "The drums cut off the pedestrians, and the geese in Bianqiu sound. Lucong is white tonight, and the moon is the bright future of my hometown." .The younger brothers are all scattered, and they have no family to ask about life and death. The length of sending books is not long, and the situation is that the army has not been suspended."

The verse expresses the yearning for Brother Chun who is far away in the border. Unknowingly, the brothers have not seen each other for more than two years.The same goes for Brother Xia, since he left, he hasn't written a letter home. If it wasn't for someone who claimed to be Yigu who came to the door in May this year, they would all be worried that something happened to Brother Xia.

Brother Dong adjusted his mind.After regaining consciousness, he felt the dull atmosphere, and in order to change the subject, he said to Shen Xuan, "My brothers have shown their performance, so my little sister should have missed the second hand, right?"

"What does fourth brother want?" Shen Xuan was in the right mood, and asked along with Brother Dong.

"Little sister, let's play a song for everyone. I haven't heard my little sister play the piano for a long time." Brother Dong asked so, and said that he still acted pitifully towards Shen Xuan in the end.

"Okay, wait a moment." Seeing the expectation on the family's face, Shen Xuan readily agreed.Turning to Ding Xiang who was finishing up the fight there, he said, "Ding Xiang, go to my room and bring that guqin here."

Hearing Shen Xuan's order, Ding Xiang hurried to the backyard with the little girls Xue Yan and Zi Juan.The news that Shen Xuan was going to play the piano spread among the servants in a short while. Everyone gathered in the open space outside the living room in the front yard, waiting for Shen Xuan to play. Much better than the other ladies.

Soon, Ding Xiang hugged the guqin and settled down next to Shen Xuan.Set it up.This guqin has no name, it was specially brought back by Xue Yaoxi for Shen Xuan when he returned to Beijing last time.This qin is carved from high-quality ebony, the whole body is pitch black, it can only be judged from the quaint aura that this qin is old, as for the source of this qin has been found out.Shen Xuan named it: Guqin, taking the ancient meaning of this qin, and did not want other names to bind this qin.

After Shen Xuan adjusted her breath, she slowly sat down in front of Guqin.Zheng, Shen Xuan tried the sound first, put her hands lightly on the strings, and after meditating, she began to play.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the wine to the blue sky. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year it is. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold on the heights. Dance to find out the shadows. How is it like being in the world? Turn to Zhuge, There is no sleep in a lowly home. There should be no hatred. What is the long-term goodbye? People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes.

Shen Xuan sang and played, the singing sound matched the sound of the piano, the surrounding was quiet, and everyone was led into the illusion by Shen Xuan.Hearing this word and this song, everyone is imagining in their minds: there seems to be a tall building, and on the top floor there is a person in white clothes fluttering, with his back turned, looking up at the bright moon in the sky...

After the singing and piano sound ended, everyone hadn't recovered yet, and they were still immersed in their imaginations.Cough cough, Shen Xuan intentionally gave a fake cough, which brought everyone's attention back.

"Let's eat mooncakes." Shen Xuan picked up a mooncake and handed it to Mrs. Zhou while talking.

Not long after, the atmosphere became high again. Father Shen actually had a drink with Brother Qiu and Brother Dong. Shen Xuan sat next to Mrs. Zhou and accompanied Shen Shuoxing. Tell Zhou about the fun of the game.

On a big tree not far from Shen's residence, there was a man holding a bamboo Xiao on the branch of the tree. The melody of the song "May I Live Long" played by Shen Xuan just now was memorized by the man. Still thinking about this song silently.

The next day, after the Shen family tidied up, they left by car and stayed in the other courtyard until they returned home the day before the announcement.In their free time, the Shen brothers would go to Zhuangzi to work. Since they studied, they seldom went to the fields, especially after they came to the capital, they were cut off from the land.In the past few days, they have experienced the hard work of farmers again.

At this moment in Shen's residence, the whole family gathered in the lobby of the front yard, waiting for those who came back to report after reading the list. Except for Shen Xuan, everyone's faces were more or less anxious and nervous.Brother Qiu and Brother Dong, who were not nervous about the exam, are also nervous now. Brother Dong stood up and walked back and forth in the hall. Although Brother Qiu was not so exaggerated, his stiff limbs also reflected his mood.

thump, thump, a servant ran in from the second gate, shouting loudly as he ran, "I got it, I got it, both young masters passed the exam."

Running down the road, the servants who heard the news also put down their buddies happily, they knew that the masters would definitely be rewarded later.

This person ran to the living room, without bothering to salute, he said out of breath, "Both young masters are hit."

Hearing this, Brother Qiu and Brother Dong finally let go of their worries, and sat on the chairs and exhaled. As for the ranking, they don't care about it for the time being.But other people don't think so!
