The third son of the Ke family stood behind Mou Xiujuan, spreading his arms to shield her from the crowd. However, he was pushed by the crowd from time to time, and his body involuntarily bumped into Mou Xiujuan. Both of them were secretly delighted by the sweet collision from time to time, and their faces were full of joy.

But he keeps complaining,

"There are so many people..."

"Yes...yes...it's really rude, did you bump into the lady again?"

"It doesn't matter...it doesn't matter..."

Except for Mou Biao who was watching the excitement, no one noticed that the two of them were blushing secretly, murmuring, and looking at each other affectionately with their eyes facing each other.

"hey-hey……"

Mou Biao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the silly look of the two of them. He bumped into the third son of the Ke family with his shoulder from behind.

"oops……"

This moment was a bit heavy, causing Mr. Ke San to stumble, and he immediately threw himself on Mou Xiujuan. Mou Xiujuan hurriedly opened her hands to help him, but she was also knocked backwards. Fortunately, there was a girl beside her.

The attendants stretched out their hands to support each other, and the two of them managed to stabilize themselves. Mou Xiujuan looked worried.

"Shonan, are you okay?"

Xiangnan is the name of Mr. Ke San.

Mou Xiujuan supported Young Master Ke, feeling happy and annoyed at the same time. She turned to glare at the instigator, but her eyes suddenly widened, and her pretty face immediately turned red as if she was about to bleed.

"hey-hey……"

Mou Biao made a face at her, imitated her, fell into the arms of Mou Hu next to him, and said in a sharp voice,

"Oh, there are so many people, it's so crowded!"

Mou Xiujuan was being pretentious with her fiancé. When her brother saw it, she was immediately ashamed, annoyed, angry and anxious. Her whole face and neck were red with embarrassment, and her whole body seemed to be on fire. She glared at her little one fiercely with her bright eyes.

Brother, I wish I could just stare him down and disappear, or simply turn into a wisp of smoke and get into the cracks in the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Young Master Ke felt that her body was stiff, and when he was about to turn his head to look,

"No...nothing..."

Mou Xiujuan held his arm and prayed secretly in her heart,

"That brat is the best at poking fun at people's faces. If he makes a fuss, I will be the one who is embarrassed..."

Mou Biao saw that she was embarrassed and embarrassed, and dared to be angry but dared not speak. He laughed proudly. Before Mr. Ke San could see the clues, he ducked into the crowd and disappeared. Mou Xiujuan turned around to see her again.

The brother was gone, so he breathed a sigh of relief, then secretly gritted his teeth and said cruelly,

"Well, you old man, I will sue you severely in front of my mother when I go back!"

"Xiujuan, are you okay?"

Seeing the change in the expression on her face, Mr. Ke San asked with concern,

"It's okay, you...are you okay?"

Mou Xiujuan raised a gentle smile.

Mou Biao ignored his second sister and future second brother-in-law, squeezed to the front, kowtowed to the sages indiscriminately, inserted the three sticks of incense in his hand into the huge incense burner, and then led the boys out.

At this time, there were so many people that it was difficult to find anyone, so he took the people to the horse-tying place to wait for Wen and Ni.

The three of them stood on the edge of the empty field, looking around. Mou Hu had sharp eyes and saw many people selling Yuanxiao on their burdens.

"Master... there is a Yuanxiao seller..."

Mou Biao likes to eat sweets, and their two servants are also servants to their masters, and they all like to eat sweets. The half-grown boy has a bottomless pit in his stomach. When he sees the Lantern Festival, he immediately feels very hungry.

The burden of selling Yuanxiao has bamboo baskets at both ends. On one side is a small stove with fine charcoal placed in it. On top is a clay pot with a large bottom and a small mouth. On the other side are many small bowls and spoons placed in layers.

It is used to dress up the Lantern Festival for guests.

There were many such stalls in front of Wenchang Palace. Mou Hu glanced around and found that someone had occupied the space under the big banyan tree in advance, occupying the existing stone tables and chairs.

It's the best business.

The best business must have the best taste. Mou Hu swallowed his breath and begged Mou Biao,

"Master, since Mr. Wen and Mr. Ni won't be able to come out for a while, how about we buy a bowl of Yuanxiao?"

Mou Biao was also squeezing himself until his stomach was empty, so he ordered,

"You go over first and see if the Yuanxiao is delicious..."

Mou Hu was so happy that he jumped up and ran over. He passed through the crowded crowd and disappeared. After a while, he ran back and shouted loudly,

"Master, the girl selling Yuanxiao is a girl from the Jia family..."

Mou Biao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Why did she come here?"

Yanghua Hutong is half a city away from Wenchang Palace, how could she walk so far carrying a load?

Mou Biao then led the two of them over, and sure enough he saw that Jia Silian was busy in the crowd. In such weather, there were two groups of crimson on her face, and there was a little sweat on her forehead. While Jia Silian was busy,

Suddenly I felt someone watching me. When I looked up, I saw it was Mou Biao and immediately started laughing.

"Mr. Mou...are you also coming to Wenchang Palace to pay my respects?"

Mou Biao nodded and watched her busy with his hands behind his hands. Jia Silian stirred the clay pot with a wooden spoon and gave the last bowl to a guest. Then he apologized to the diners who were queuing up with copper coins.

road,

"Sir, the Yuanxiao we brought today has been sold out, please go elsewhere!"

When the diners shook their heads in disappointment and left, Jia Silian waved to Mou Biao and said,

"Mr. Mou, sit here, what kind of Yuanxiao do you want to eat..."

Mou Biao asked her,

"Isn't it sold out?"

Jia Silian smiled and said,

"I've sold out to others, but I've taken enough care of you..."

Mou Biao was very happy when he heard this, laughed, came over and found a place to sit down, and asked her,

"What does it smell like?"

Jia Silian struggled to move the bowl and spoon on the upper floor, looked down and said with a smile,

"There are four flavors, which one do you want to eat?"

The ones in the jar have been cooked before and were warmed over a fire. The flavor will naturally deteriorate after being warmed for a long time. The ones in the jar have not been cooked yet. Naturally, the Yuanxiao has to be freshly cooked to be delicious.

Before Mou Biao could speak, Mou Hu stretched his neck to look inside and shouted,

"Of course it's best to have a bowl of each flavor..."

Mou Biao glared at him,

"Have you finished eating?"

Responding to Jia Silian,

"Whichever tastes best, just choose that one..."

Jia Silian smiled and said,

"Wait a moment, I'll get some water and boil it again..."

There is an ancient well under the big banyan tree, and the water from the well is available for drinking. People nearby collect water here. Jia Silian first poured the soup in the pot into the drainage ditch nearby, then went to get the water again, and then added it to the stove.

Put some fine charcoal on the fire and use a small fan to cook it faster.

Mou Biao said to her,

"Don't worry, just cook it slowly. I have friends inside who haven't come out yet..."

Jia Silian nodded and asked him,

"Mr. Mou went to offer incense?"

Mou Biao nodded,

"Do you have a scholar in your family, or do you go to offer incense?"

Jia Silian smiled,

"I only have one brother in my family. You've seen him before, but he's no material for studying!"

Mou Biao thought of that stupid kid and snorted without saying anything. He watched Jia Silian putting the white and round Yuanxiao balls into the boiling water and asked her,

"How many copper coins did you get from selling Yuanxiao today?"

Jia Silian weighed the money bag hanging on her waist and replied,

"This is a trip after dinner. I will probably get more than a hundred copper coins..."
