Chapter 249 Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th

After Ye Fan and his son finished talking, they returned to the hall and chatted for a few words. The two young couples and Ye Shuting said goodbye and left. Moon viewing is an activity at night. When the dusk is waiting for dinner, they go to Zhaiyuelou to have a drink, worship the moon and enjoy the moon. The three families of Ye Xiao'an will also come to the city to have a reunion dinner with their families.

"Did Lao Wu and Jiang not come together?" Ye Fan asked.

Before the Zhaoping County Lord had answered, Ye Yu said again: "You don't have to cover up for them. I have heard the sound of Lao Wu and Ting'er when they came in."

The Zhaoping County Lord rolled his eyes and asked when he heard it, and he did nothing more.

"Did Mrs. Jiang say she is sick these days and hasn't come to pay her respects?"

When the county lord Zhaoping heard him ask nonsense again, he drooped his eyelids, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and asked faintly: "The children came to pay their respects these mornings, and you are all present, have you ever seen her come?"

Ye Fan's face was gloomy, "It is a set rule to settle the province in the morning and evening. Because they didn't want them to work hard to travel back and forth, they were tolerant and exempted from the afternoon greetings. How could it be that they dare not come to greet them in the morning?"

"She is sick, so she didn't come to pay her respects." County Lord Zhaoping looked up at Ye Fan in surprise. He had not seen him ask for it for so many days. Why did he suddenly become furious today?

Ye Fan snorted coldly and said, "Is she sick? You don't need to ask a good doctor to take a pulse and prescribe medicine. What kind of strange disease is it?"

The eyes of the Zhaoping County Lord turned slightly, "It is understandable that Jiang pretends to be sick and doesn't come to pay his respects. The concubine is pregnant first, and the concubine's son is going to be born in front of her. She is unhappy in her heart. She is still young and has only been married for a few months. The spoiled girl in her family is not very adaptable to being a wife for the first time. She can't figure it out for a while. She is just pretending to be sick and making trouble, wanting Xiaoliang to coax her. She still knows the importance of it, and she came here to pay his respects early this morning."

"Whose girl is not raised by a spoiled girl? She should be a wife when she becomes a wife. She should have the temperament of being a wife when she is a wife. The eldest, the third and fourth rooms have more people than the fifth rooms. There are no people in the Wei family, Yue family and Chen family. They are all pretending to be sick and get angry. Women should take their husbands as their main principles, and not being jealous is one of the virtues of women. Taking concubines for husbands and adding children to their husbands' family is something that a wife should do. How dare she pretend to be sick and get angry?" Ye Fan was furious. After scolding his daughter-in-law, he scolded his son, "The useless thing of the fifth family can't even control a woman. He can't do anything serious. Do something stupid."

The county lord Zhaoping heard something in his words and asked tentatively: "Has Lao Wu done something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Ye Fan refused to say that he had never wanted to let the Lord of Zhaoping worry more about the matter in the city.

"Since it's nothing, you shouldn't get angry when you are having a big holiday. Tomorrow, I will talk about Jiang's family well, let her stop and stop making trouble." County Lord Zhaoping knew that he wouldn't say it, so he didn't ask. Ye Xiaoliang was not born to her. Whether Ye Fan beat or scolded, she didn't need to protect her. Of course, she still needs to protect her on the surface. As a legitimate mother, she should also show her love when she should show her love. Taking care of her concubine's son is also what her legitimate mother should do.

"He has married him, so we have to worry about the affairs in the room? If he can't even manage the affairs in the room, can he still do the affairs in the city?" Ye Fan said coldly.

The Zhaoping County Master opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. She didn't care before, but he lost his temper here. She wanted to take care of him now, but he was not sure, which made people at a loss. If you can, just let him lose his temper.

Ye Fan got angry and went out.

The Zhaoping County Lord was too lazy to ask him where he was going. Today was the fifteenth day of the day, and staying in his main room was a rule set by his ancestors. He had never violated it for so many years, and he probably wouldn't be today, let alone today's Mid-Autumn Festival, so he would definitely not leave the city to hunt and vent.

On the other side, Ye Shuhua accompanied Song Ruoxi back to the room.

"What did my father tell you? I see that my father looked bad when he came out with you." Song Ruoxi asked.

Ye Shuhua frowned and looked solemn, "I received a secret letter this morning and intercepted a batch of excellent weapons on the road. According to those confessions, this was done by my fifth brother."

Song Ruoxi took a breath and privately traded weapons with other countries. He should be punished for his crimes. He frowned and asked, "What will my father deal with his fifth brother?"

"It's important. Only after those people are escorted back and interrogated again will they decide how to deal with the fifth brother." Ye Shuhua frowned, "I can't think of what is the reason for the fifth brother to do this?"

Song Ruoxi didn't understand Ye Xiaoliang, so he couldn't guess the reason. "Maybe someone else was falsely accusing him."

"One of the people I caught was Zhongwei of the fifth brother. Zhongwei would not betray his master. The eldest brother was idle and the second brother was exiled. Now the fifth brother..." Ye Shuhua sighed heavily. Although he was different from his mother, he was also brother. If something happened to them one by one, he felt uncomfortable.

Song Ruoxi sighed lightly, stepped forward and gently hugged Ye Shuhua's waist, looked up at him, and advised: "If they do something wrong, they will bear the consequences. Didn't the Buddha say that people should not commit evil deeds. If they commit evil Ye, they will have evil consequences. It is not your problem to this point. Don't think too much."

Ye Shuhua hugged her and looked at the window. The autumn sky was clear and dustless. How good would a person's heart be like the sky. He withdrew his gaze, looked down at Song Ruoxi, and said, "You are right. After your thoughts, good and evil will be rewarded like shadows. I cannot tolerate them just because they are my gang brothers."

"You are like the young city lord who climbed Yingcheng in this way." Song Ruoxi praised.

Ye Shuhua was surprised and asked, "Didn't I look like the young city lord of Dengying City before?"

"Not like it." Song Ruoxi shook his head and said.

"Where do I look like?" Ye Shuhua asked.

Song Ruoxi curled his lips, "You are asking questions knowingly."

Ye Shuhua recalled the past and chuckled, "When I saw you at Jinglian Temple, you were only eight or nine years old, and you were a small figure, looking at me with a pair of smart eyes."

"I thought you were so tall at that time, and your face was not very good. You were wearing a wide monk's robe and looked a little weak."

"I can't help but be weak?" Ye Shuhua frowned, dissatisfied with the word.

"I was wrong, yes..." Song Ruoxi's eyes were flowing, and she smiled, "It was her clothes light and she was floating like an immortal."

"It's dusty, there's no fairy spirit, and it's so vulgar."

The two chatted and deliberately pulled the topic apart.

In the afternoon, after dinner and taking a nap, Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "How about we play a game?"

"Do you want me to let me?" Ye Shuhua asked with a smile:

Song Ruoxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"

"I'll let you three pieces." Ye Shuhua took out the chessboard and chess box and arranged it, "Please let the young lady make a move."

Song Ruoxi sat down opposite him, raised his chin slightly, and said with confidence: "This time, I must make you my defeated man."

When he said the big words, Song Ruoxi was cautious and had to think for a long time every step he took.

Ye Shuhua had a doting smile on her face, and she looked up at her affectionately from time to time. In order to make her wish, she used some thoughts and lost four pieces in this game of chess.

"I know what you asked me." Song Ruoxi said with a pout.

"I only let you three sons, you win four sons. After deducting the three sons of Ren, you still win one son, and a small victory, Yingying's chess skills have improved." Ye Shuhua denied the chess.

"Whether I make progress or you let me do it, I'll be happy if I win anyway." Song Ruoxi smiled, looked up at Shichenzhong, "It's almost the hour of You, it's time to pass. Hongxiao, Xiangduo comes in to help me dress up."

Hongxiao and fragrant flowers came in with the sound.

After Song Ruoxi changed his clothes and combed his hair, the two took their maids to Danningju.

Ye Xiao'an, Ye Xiaojing and Ye Xiaogong's family have arrived. There are children in the hall, which is much lively than usual. After waiting for a while, Ye Shuting arrived first. Ye Xiaoliang and Jiang Minghong entered the door. Seeing Jiang Minghong's red and swollen eyes that could not be covered with thick pink, Wei Lingjuan and others did not ask openly, and secretly guessed something had happened.

The whole family talked for a few words, and when night fell, the lights came up, they left the hospital door and sat on their shoulder chariot to go to Zhaiyue Tower for supper.

The main door in the building is open, and the bright horn headlights are illuminated like daytime. Family banquets are divided into men and women. Four tables are opened, separated by a five-carved large screen. The tables and chairs are all round, which means reunion.

In the afternoon, Jiang Minghong was taught a lesson by Ye Xiaoliang, and was taciturn on the table, asking and answering questions. Jiang Minghong honestly refused to provoke trouble, so Song Ruoxi naturally would not take the initiative to provoke her, and there was a peaceful scene on the table.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

"The moon has risen, let's go to worship the moon and burn incense!" County Lord Zhaoping said, and stood up to support Ye Shuting's shoulders, led his daughter-in-law, daughter and granddaughter to the platform on the left side of the building.

The fruits and melons on the desk were all ready. The Zhaoping County Lord burned incense with his hands cleaned. After worshiping, everyone immediately stepped forward to worship.

The Zhaoping County Lord smiled and said, "It's best to enjoy the moon on the mountain. But this year we didn't go to Qichun Garden to celebrate the festival. Just enjoy the moon in this Picking Moon Tower and follow the scene."

The group went up to the top of the Picking Yue Tower. Ye Fan's father, son, grandchildren and grandchildren had already sat in the position. The roof was movable. When they moved the machine, the entire roof was divided into two pieces and slowly slid to both sides to form an open-air pavilion. The building was five stories high, and the moon in the sky seemed to be hanging obliquely on the edge of the building, so close that it could be picked off with your hand.

The maids presented fruits, wine, dishes and moon balls for the moon banquet.

"City Lord, should we pass on flowers by beating drums or using the word "moon"?" Zhaoping County Lord asked with a smile.

"The couplet of the word "moon" is too quiet, but it is still a lively way to spread the flowers. If the flowers come to someone's hand, drink a drink and tell a joke." Ye Fan said with a smile.

The Zhaoping County Lord responded with a smile and ordered someone to pick up a branch of osmanthus, and then ordered someone to stand under the corridor and beat the drum to pass the flowers.

The sound of drums sounded, and flowers were heard from the hands of everyone. Ye Xiaoan gave a wink to the maid who was serving the next to him. The maid understood and turned around and gestured to the person who was beating the drum. The drum sound stopped and the flower branches fell into Ye Fan's hands.

"Okay, okay, we have to listen to the city lord's jokes. If it is not funny, we have to punish it again." Zhaoping County Lord smiled.

"Then I have to think about it, and you will be laughing at you from ear to ear." Ye Fan finished drinking, "A man said that there was a man who wanted to marry a wife, but he only asked for it: he was as beautiful as a fairy. This beauty was hard to find, and he could not get what he wanted for a long time. Finally, one day he was deceived by a matchmaker and married his wife. However, this wife was not only unbeautiful, but also extremely ugly. His friend went to congratulate the newlyweds, because this friend was good at criticizing her fate, and wanted to ask her birth date and horoscope, and wanted to help her calculate. After hearing this, the man closed his eyes, shook his head, and said casually: 'Xinyou Wuchen, Yisi Guichou!'"

After the joke was said, everyone didn't find it funny. After a moment of cold, they started to laugh, giving Ye Fan a lot of face. The drums sounded again, and the flowers started to spread again, and this time the flowers fell into the hands of the Lord of Zhaoping County.

After drinking the wine, the head of Zhaoping County also told a joke that was not very funny. Everyone was still very supportive and laughed constantly.

After several more orders, all the grandchildren left first and went back to their room to sleep.

The moon reached the middle of the sky, round like a jade plate, and the moonlight was as bright as water. The Zhaoping County Lord looked at it and smiled and said, "This is such a beautiful moon, if there is a resonance between the flute and the flute, it will be even more elegant."

Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "The people in Lefang are ready and just tell them to blow it up."

"Yuxian thought it very well." Ye Fan nodded with a smile, "Let them play the song "Autumn Lake Moonlight Night" and listen to it."

Song Ruoxi asked Xiangxiu to go downstairs and ordered the people from Lefang to play.

The first section of the gentle flute sound is like the rippling clear waves, the wind is light and the moon is bright. People sit on the boat, the lake is sparkling, the water and sky are the same color, and the blue waves are endless. The second section of the flute imitates the midnight bell sound of the ancient temples in distant mountains, making people feel the tranquility of the late autumn moon night. The third section of the flute sounds the ensemble of the flute, the autumn dew is everywhere, the jade rabbit sinks west, the sky is clean, the lake water is clear, which adds to the secluded environment.

Everyone silently appreciated each other, and after the song was played, they praised it.

"If you boat on the lake and listen to this song, you will be even more artistic." Ye Fan said in an unfulfilled manner.

The Zhaoping County Lord asked with a smile: "Yuxian, listen to this, he is becoming more and more interested. Xiaozhou, have you asked the boatwoman to prepare?"

"Just talk, there is no need to prepare any ship. If you want to make up this matter, there will be no fun." Ye said hurriedly.

"My daughter-in-law was negligent and did not prepare to get off the boat, which disturbed her father's elegant mood. Father, wait until tomorrow, and let someone prepare the boat and ask her father and mother to come and reward the sixteenth again, so that she will not let the moonlight down." Song Ruoxi stood up and smiled.

Ye Fan was touched by the word "failure" and raised his head to drink all the wine in his glass, chanting: "There is no dust on the clear night, and the moon is like silver. When the wine is poured, it must be full of ten. Fame and profit, and the soul is exhausted. Sighing the horse in the gap, the fire in the stone, and the body in the dream. When will you go back? Be a idler on a boat. A piano and a pot of wine are enough for the rest of your life."

When the Zhaoping County Lord saw him suddenly tragic, he knew that he was still worried about Ye Xiaoliang's affairs. He stood up and supported him, saying, "It's already late at night, the dew has come down, and the wind has cooled down. It's not advisable to sit for a long time. The city lord, let's disperse."

"It's gone, it's gone!" Ye Fan was already a little drunk and waved at everyone, "It's gone, it's gone, it's gone."

Ye Shuhua stepped forward and helped Ye Fan downstairs.

Song Ruoxi's eyes were sunk, and he had already deposed two sons and wanted to depose another one. This was a big blow to a father.

Ye Xiaoan and others looked at Jiang Minghong.

After helping Yefan on his shoulder chariot, the Zhaoping County Lord turned around and said, "You all go back to your room to rest."
