Chapter 73 Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Appreciation

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang's family went up and down, from the master to the slaves all smiled happily. Now Jiang Yong has just agreed on a marriage, which is the time when the whole house is full of joy. Now on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Yong not only asked General Manager Zhang to give an extra month's money to the big and small steward slaves as a reward, but also asked the big kitchen to make a number of new styles of moon cakes and send them to everyone, so that some families can take them home for the festival; no family can eat moon cakes together to enjoy the month, which can also be regarded as the Mid-Autumn Festival in the house.

Because Jiang Ting is reborn, she pays more attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival than the Spring Festival. At this time of year, she loves to stick to Jiang Yong, which is good at other times, but on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Yong must accompany her all day. Fortunately, in the ten years in the northwest, there were not many wars, so Jiang Ting was able to pass nine consecutive Mid-Autumn Festivals.

Now, this is Jiang Yong's tenth Mid-Autumn Festival with her. After this year, there will be one more person in the family to accompany her on the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. It's just that I don't know if that person will like her?

No, no, no, it's not the time for her to think about her little stepmother's love; instead, she should seriously think about how to make her father and stepmother play a loving couple. Jiang Ting knocked on her head, held Jiang Yong's arm, and asked with bubbles in her eyes, "Dad, how does my future stepmother look?"

Jiang Yong, who was setting up a fruit incense case to sacrifice to the moon god, looked at her sideways and asked, "Why do you care about this? She is not good-looking. Why don't you let your father marry her?"

Alas, this should have been a subordinate. But she insisted that the Mid-Autumn Festival is everyone's festival. Everyone should eat moon cakes and watch the moon quietly on this night, so she took a holiday for all families. Even Lianxiu and Zhihua were given a holiday by her and let them play by themselves in Yuejiyuan. She ran to the main courtyard to pester herself.

Jiang Yong had a shallow smile on his face. Although he was laughing at his daughter, his smile was full of spoiling, without any reproach. At this time, he was full of warm breath, and his whole body seemed to suddenly feel fresh, and even his expression was much more vivid, which was completely different from his usual calmness and self-sustaining.

Jiang Ting said with a bulging face and said, "Of course not, but she is a little better-looking. Only when you marry her can you marry her more peacefully."

"I was very calm about this marriage." Jiang Yong stopped his hand and turned to look at Jiang Ting and asked, "Why, Ting'er, do you feel wronged for your father?"

"Well, if she was more beautiful, I would be less wronged for my father." Jiang Ting nodded randomly and said, "Dad, are you really not happy about this marriage?"

"Of course not. The Wen family is a good choice for me now." Jiang Yong turned his head again and began to fiddle with tributes.

"But they calculated you. Dad, won't you really hate my future stepmother for this? Jiang Ting asked with blinking eyes.

If she remembers correctly, even if Dad proposed marriage on the basis of morality and promised to marry someone else, he should not be such a talkative person. Is he interested in the little sister of the Wen family? No, if he was really interested in the Wen family, he would not have cried in the ancestral hall that day. Oh, what on earth does dad think?

"Tinger, just say what you want to say. What kind of circle do you have with your father?" Jiang Yong glanced at her and said.

Jiang Ting spit out her tongue and said, "Nothing, I just want to ask Dad what you think. Didn't you plan to marry my aunt from the Li family before? Why did the Wen sisters follow their marriage proposal after a little calculation? Moreover, it doesn't make sense that you are so respectful of the Wen family behind. Well, according to my daughter's humble opinion, you don't have to treat the Wen family like that at all. Anyway, it's not completely wrong for you, is it?"

Jiang Yong stared at Jiang Ting and replied, "I really don't understand whose nature you are. You really dare to say anything. Not only do I dare to take care of my father's marriage, but I also dare to take care of my father's future family. What do you need to know about these things? I'm just going through the stage step by step according to the etiquette. How can you see that I respect the Wen family? Why do children have so many intentions?

"Where am I too careful? Don't I care about you?" Jiang Ting pouted and said, "I'm just afraid that you will marry a dominatrix. What if it's not good to me at that time?"

After saying that, Jiang Ting wanted to slap herself in the mouth. By the way, her original plan was to test Jiang Yong's attitude towards his future wife. Why did she stop here?

"Don't worry, she won't be bad to you." Jiang Yong touched the top of her head and said, "The owner of this house is her father, not her. She dares not do anything to you."

"Oh, that's not what I mean." Jiang Ting shook her head repeatedly and said, "I said something wrong. Dad, I mean, do you like them or not?"

Jiang Yong looked at Jiang Ting with a helpless wry smile. After a long time, he asked quietly, "Has father always remembered that your mother is not good?"

Jiang Ting was discouraged when she heard his words and said distressedly, "Well, I'm not saying that you have been remembering your mother's good. However, my mother has been there for so many years. You have to think for yourself. Don't you just hide your mother in the deepest part of your heart? Now you are still alive, and I am alive. We have to live well, Dad. If you live an unhappy life, your daughter will not be happy.

"Okay, I see what you mean." Jiang Yong smiled and said to Jiang Ting, "I will live happily for my good daughter, okay?"

Jiang Ting looked at Jiang Yong, who was coaxing the child, and sighed, "Forget it, I don't care about your business, and I can't control it. Let's get ready quickly, watch the moon, eat moon cakes, and drink a bar.

In the main room of the Shizi Mansion, Liu Yao sat alone on the ground in front of the door, holding a jade cup, with several pots of Jinhua wine ground from Liu Ming, a box of moon cakes from Yikou Garden, and a small plate of candied plums on the ground.

The servants in the main courtyard were driven out by him. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole family will watch the moon together. In the past, his mother accompanied him to watch the moon and eat moon cakes, but in the past two years, he watched it alone...

If there is a subordinate, he has to keep calm, maintain his posture and dignity... But tonight, he just wants to watch the moon quietly alone.

He took a sip of wine and thought about everything he could remember from childhood to age. Finally, he sadly found that everything he had before was like a flower in the moon in the mirror, becoming a fantasy. Now he has nothing but a shabby garden, three shops, and a village. Oh, he still has more than 1,000 taels of silver. I don't know if Hu Qing can do it or not. If the three shops can't make money back two months later, he will really have to drink the northwest wind.

At the beginning, he thought that he would die even if he died. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. What can you get from death? Can't you get anything after death? If he hadn't been saved by that girl, he wouldn't have known that he still knew how to like people. If he hadn't woken up by his cousin, he wouldn't have understood how stupid he was under such self-abandonment. My father is right to scold. He is so stupid that he is still living such a miserable life.

If he is not stupid, how can he be held by slaves in Lingnan and do so many stupid things? If he is not stupid, how can he create a special opportunity for the enemy to harm him when he knows he is in danger? If he is not stupid, how can he still be in such a deficit situation with 10,000 taels of silver?

My mother always said that he was smart and that he was good. But where on earth is he smart? Where is the good? He can't see it at all.

Liu Yao poured the wine in the glass into his mouth and looked at the full moon in the sky, thinking of the girl with a round smile and a very cute face, but always showing mature eyes that did not match her age. He is so useless. How can he be worthy of her?
