Chapter 58 Mooncakes
Qian Yuan was very annoyed.
It’s okay to say that my mother’s insistence and younger sister don’t understand it, but after being speechless by my uncle, Qian Yuan’s depression made him very upset.
However, Qian Yuan would not vent his anger in his heart on irrelevant people, let alone his family.
Although my aunt lived a stable life, she had no good reputation when she stayed alone in the empty bedroom for a long time.
The mother lost her husband and son, the younger sister lost her father and brother, and the older sister who had been recuperating in bed for a long time, in fact, the atmosphere in the Qian family has been extremely depressed in the past six months.
However, after Qian Yuan returned to his hometown, this situation changed greatly.
There is no doubt that this change comes from the traits of the time traveler.
A few months ago, Zhang Juzheng was very surprised by this. This scholar from Songjiang came from a family and was famous since childhood. He should be arrogant. However, he was sarcastic with the servant guards and even cooked in person without respect.
Qian Yuan needs to integrate into this era, but he does not want to be completely swallowed by this era. He hopes to maintain some things he brought from his previous life.
To be clearer, Qian Yuan was deliberately casual, intimate, and more unruly to his family. The jokes he said casually often made his younger sister's crisp laughter ring in the yard. Tan, who had been having a bitter face for the past six months, couldn't help laughing from time to time.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. Qian Yuan drew patterns early and asked someone to customize the mold. Under Tan's guidance, he went to the kitchen for two or three days before he made a mooncake that looked familiar but had little difference in taste from later generations.
"It's quite a bit of trouble." Qian Yuan looked at Li Si putting the mooncakes into the box and turned around and asked, "Which other store has not delivered it?
"Everything was sent, all of them were sent." Tan smiled and moved his fingers, "Your aunt's family, Sun family, Lu family, and several clan elders have all given them."
For Tan, her son cooked herself, which shocked and moved her the most.
"Stop giving it, don't give it, I'm not enough to eat." The little girl jumped around, with mooncake crumbs remaining on her mouth.
"Be careful of your teeth!" Qian Yuan used to touching his little sister's bun, "Let's do this, Li Si, send it to Yang Wen for them to taste."
The Qian family's house had only two entrances in front and back, and Zhang San rented a house not far away for the guards to eat and stay.
Since returning home, Li Si, who has been with the young master, felt that he had returned to his previous status and said softly: "Isn't it necessary?"
"Can you still make the decision for me?" Qian Yuan cursed with a smile, thinking about it and preparing to send it to him in person, but a familiar shout came from outside the door.
"Brother Yunzhi is here." Qian Yuan wiped his hands and saw the young man behind Sun Kehong, "He is here with Chengya."
The young man jumped into the door with a laugh. Suddenly, he saw Tan and quickly saluted in a proper manner, but he didn't say a word.
"Greetings to Aunt." Sun Kehong visited Tan and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yi Cheng, you are too honest."
"This is called tactfulness." Qian Yuan sneered, "Otherwise you have to be shorter!"
The young man blushed and suddenly spoke and corrected: "No, he is two generations short of me."
"You remember clearly!" Sun Kehong curled his lips, "Next time, Mr. Pingquan scolds you again, don't run to my house."
The young man shook his head and said, "Confucius said, if a small stick is taken, a big stick is taken."
Qian Yuan has been stubborn and weird since childhood and has little popularity. As long as this young man has been following his butt since he was a child, Tan looked at this scene with a smile, "There are just a few mooncakes that have just been released, so try them all."
Sun Kehong laughed and said, "I have eaten the box clean at my house and haven't eaten enough, so I have to come to my house. It is said that Brother Yuan cooks in person?"
"Where did I eat it alone!" The young man retorted unconvincedly: "There are eight in total, don't you eat it?"
Tan's face showed a little bit of heartache. According to Qian Yuan's words... He couldn't eat well in Hangzhou and was not well dressed, so he had to cook himself, so he practiced this cooking skill.
The young man was named Lu Shude, with his courtesy name Yucheng, and his brother was Lu Shusheng, Huiyuan, Huiyuan in the 20th year of Jiajing, with his courtesy name Yuji, and his pseudonym Pingquan.
Lu Shusheng is the father of Qian Yuan’s uncle Lu. In other words, Lu Shude is the younger uncle of Lu.
Lu's daughter Qian Zhi married Sun Kehong's cousin, and Qian Yuan was Lu's nephew.
So in terms of generation, Qian Yuan and Sun Kehong are both two generations younger than Lu Shude, who is fourteen years old this year.
Tan, who was sister-in-law with Lu, was also a generation younger than him, so Lu Shude only bowed and never spoke when he saw Tan's visit.
Qian Yuan admires the old man of the Lu family who has just passed away for more than a year. He gave birth to Lu Shude when he was fifty-seven years old. He is so strong!
In fact, not only that, Lu Shusheng has no children at the age of 55 this year, and he will give birth to his son Lu Yanzhang five years later, just on his 60th birthday.
A tough guy!
He sent his mother and younger sister to the inner yard and kicked Li Si out to deliver mooncakes. Qian Yuan took the remaining mooncakes and took the two of them to the study.
"The humble house is simple, just order it." Qian Yuan poured two cups of herbal tea from the big teapot, "I ran to the Sun's house again. Mr. Pingquan wants to beat you again?"
Lu Shude lowered his head dejectedly, but the mooncakes in his hand kept stuffing into his mouth, grunting like squirrels.
"This time it's related to you, Brother Yuan." Sun Kehong explained: "Your uncle went back to her parents' home yesterday and said... Brother Yuan, do you want to move to Hangzhou?"
Qian Yuan paused and nodded slightly after a while.
"Pingquan Gong naturally refuted it, but..." Sun Kehong turned to look at Lu Shude.
"I just defended you a few words, but the result..." Lu Shude cried with a sad face, "Now my father is gone, no one is protecting me..."
Looking at Sun Kehong who was winking, Qian Yuan sighed speechlessly, "Now that your father has passed away, my family dare not keep you, otherwise Mr. Pingquan will come to him... but Mr. Yizhai can protect you."
More than ten years ago, Lu Shude, who was still young, caused trouble at home and was beaten by his brother Lu Shusheng. As a result, Lu Shude ran away from home and happened to run into Qian Yuan. He took him home to eat and drink.
Since then, once Lu Shude causes trouble, he will run to Qian's family, and the Lu family is not worried...
"Forget it, Mr. Pingquan's temperament..." Sun Kehong waved his hand repeatedly, turned to see Qian Yuan's essay on the desk, "Brother Yuan, your word..."
"Uncle." Lu Shude, who came over, complained: "If it were this last year, Brother Yuan would not be able to pass the county examination, let alone the head of the palace examination."
"It's just for convenience." Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, picked up the quill that was mounted on the Bijia Mountain, dipped some ink on the inkstone, and quickly wrote a few words on the paper.
The three of them joked casually, and Sun Kehong suddenly asked, "Brother Yuan, why did you intend to move to Hangzhou?"
Qian Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Kehong, not knowing whether he wanted to ask this sentence or Sun Chengen wanted to ask.
Sun Kehong smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "I received the day before yesterday. A Japanese pirate landed in Liujiagang and invaded Suzhou, robbed a large number of tax silver. The Suzhou Prefecture Tongzhi Ren Huan led his army to attack and win."
Qian Yuan took the letter and browsed it quickly. He had no impression of the name Ren Huan. He killed fifty-six thieves and burned more than ten ships, but the result was quite good.
Qian Yuan thought for a moment and looked at Lu Shude, "Donald Pingquan knows it?"
"Yeah." Lu Shude wiped the debris from his mouth, "So he said, Brother Yuan, you are worrying."
"Don't worry?" Qian Yuan's cheeks bulged.
"Brother said that Zhejiang Governor Wang Min should be a famous general, and the Japanese pirates will soon be calmed down." Lu Shude shook his head, "It is really unnecessary to move to Hangzhou."
