Chapter 59 Mid-Autumn Festival
On August 14th, Tian Fan began a three-day holiday for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Tian family is no longer the small family it once was. Now the Tian family is rich and powerful! Indispensable, a large number of people must come to please them. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is an endless stream of people giving gifts. Although they know that Tian Fan’s family
I never accept gifts, but I still come. Even if I just hand over a name card to impress Tian Liang and Tian Fan, that’s fine!
At noon, someone came who Tian Fan had to see - Ni Qiu! This guy came with his sworn sister Gan Youniang, and Tian Fan had to go and see him.
The old man and the old lady were also at home, but they saw no one, so Tian Fan had to see them by himself. Gan Youniang was a woman who would not talk to Tian Fan for too long. After seeing Li, she was taken to Tian Fan's courtyard by the maid.
I went to talk to some girls.
Tian Fan originally did not intend to accept the gift brought by Ni Qiu. But after listening to Ni Qiu's introduction, he looked at it again. Tian Fan nodded and said to Tian Fu who was waiting on the side: "Uncle Tian, accept it.
!" Tian Fu nodded, agreed, and naturally found someone to make arrangements. After the arrangements were made, he also withdrew.
Tian Fan motioned Ni Qiu to sit down and asked, "Zhongqiu, hehe, tomorrow is your birthday!" Ni Qiu smiled and said, "Do you still remember it, sir?" Tian Fan said, "Your birthday is so unique, who can't remember it?
"
The two of them drank tea and chatted casually. Tian Fan asked: "Zhongqiu, how do you feel about being in the lord's tent?" Ni Qiu nodded and said: "Brother Boguang, haha, thank you for mentioning it.
You! Now I'm doing well under the lord's account. Well, Lord Biejia is also very good to me!" Tian Fan nodded and said: "That's good! Haha, I heard Brother Zizhong mentioned you many times and said you did it
Very good! Well, keep working hard, your future will be more than just what it is now!" Ni Qiu nodded gratefully and agreed.
Originally, I wanted to keep them for lunch, but Ni Qiu had something to do, so he had to let them go. Gan Youniang seemed to get along very happily with the women in her family, and she was quite reluctant to leave when she left.
As soon as they left, Tian Fan immediately excitedly asked someone to take out the gifts they brought. What gift do you mean? - peaches! Tian Fan is not very interested in peaches, but they are ordinary peaches. Ni Qiu sent them
, is not an ordinary peach! The size of the peach is close to the head of a baby. It is white in color with only the tip showing red. Its texture is soft. If you pick it up, it looks like a plastic bag filled with water! I heard about it in my previous life.
There is such a peach, but I have never seen it, let alone eaten it?
According to Ni Qiu, this peach is a different species! His Gan family's peach orchard in Geyi Mountain is very large, with a total of no less than two hundred acres. There are only about ten trees that can bear this kind of peach. Maybe it's because of the special environment.
A dozen peach trees are located near the top of Geyi Mountain. This is a rugged place with peach trees growing in the cracks of the rocks. A few feet below, there is a spring that flows all year round. The spring water is sweet.
It can be called the top mountain spring. The peach tree grows on the top of the mountain, getting the essence of the sun and the moon, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, and being nourished by morning dew and sunset all day long, so this special peach grows.
Each peach tree can only produce more than fifty peaches a year. Because peaches are precious and difficult to store, and the Gan family is not short of money, they used to give peaches to others. In the past, they gave them to neighbors, Gan Lin.
For some close relatives and friends, this year because of Ni Qiu's relationship, these peaches were basically given to people in Xuzhou officialdom. Liu Bei got 49 peaches, Mi Zhu got 36 peaches, Chen Qun and others all got 10 peaches.
Tian Fan felt a little proud. Look, in Ni Qiu's heart, he and Liu Bei were the same!
Don’t worry about anything else, hehehe, just eat one by yourself first! Ni Qiu is very thoughtful. There are prepared reed tubes in the box, one for each peach. There is also a small knife specially used to cut the peaches.
That tough skin...
Carefully wash a peach and put it on the plate. Tian Fan rubbed his hands, picked up a knife, and carefully made a small opening in the skin of the peach, and the juice of the peach began to flow out. Tian Fan quickly put the reed tube together
Get up there and start sucking!
The sweet juice has a unique fragrance of peach, it’s really enjoyable!
While he was enjoying it with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard a cough, which frightened Tian Fan. His hands trembled, and then he sucked a mouthful of juice into his mouth and choked it into his trachea! There was a violent cough, cough, cough, cough... The old man is here.
…
In the afternoon, the stinky boy Tian Kun came back! After Zheng Xuan came to Xiapi, Liu Bei discovered that there was no ready place for him to teach disciples and teach scriptures. In desperation, Liu Bei had no choice but to let him stay in a compound in nearby Siwu County.
This courtyard is very large and is the annex of the Chen Deng family. Chen Gui and Zheng Xuan have known each other for a long time and admired his knowledge very much, so they gave up this courtyard. But this is not a common practice, Zheng Xuan's academy is in
It is under construction. Its specific location is about twenty miles north of Geyi Mountain. It is close to Yishui River and backed by a hill called Wangshan. The scenery is very good, and... the name of this hill is very auspicious! Zheng Xuan was very fond of this location.
Satisfied, he waited for the academy to be relocated after the construction was completed. He even thought of a name for the academy, and it was called Wangshan Academy!
Tian Kun is a disciple of Zheng Xuan. Unfortunately, he is still a full-time disciple, so he has to follow him to study in Siwu. The old master is more strict and has three days off every half month. Therefore, after Tian Fan comes back, this
This time was the first time he went home. This time he had an early vacation because the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to take place.
The arrival of this kid will inevitably bring a lot of laughter to the family.
Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15! The history of the Mid-Autumn Festival is quite long! As for how many years of history it is, Tian Fan can’t tell. Anyway, it has been around since the Three Kingdoms!
However, it is said that it is related to the famous ugly girl Wu Yan in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that on the night of August 15th of one year, Wu Yan was admiring flowers under the moon, and was seen by the king at that time. Under the hazy moonlight, Wu Yan's face was not beautiful.
Her face suddenly became extremely beautiful. When the king saw it, he was immediately shocked and favored her. From then on, a custom was spread. On August 15th, women admire the moon.
Men appreciate flowers! Haha, as for the "flower" that is rewarded, it is a matter of benevolence and wisdom!
There were no mooncakes at that time, so everyone just got together, drank some wine, and had a meal. Tian Fan wanted to make mooncakes, but firstly, he had no feelings for mooncakes, and secondly, he didn’t have the time, so he just made mooncakes.
I taught the cook at home the general recipe and left it alone. But the cook's work efficiency... I didn't eat the mooncakes anyway.
The Tian family is also a big family. There are four members of the master's family, seven members of Tian Fu's family, plus Hui'er, Bai Yuzhu, Huang Yueying, Xiaoqing, Qin Siyu, Xing'er's master and servant, and more than a dozen people. It was quite lively.
During the festival, Zhu Yuan and his two sisters had moved away long ago, as had He Xi. Tian Fan gave the Zhu brothers and sisters, He Xi, and Wang Zi a few peaches, but ignored everything else and let them celebrate the festival by themselves!
It wasn't until very late that everyone dispersed, everyone had a great time!
The weather is a bit cold at night, but even though I’m covered with a quilt, it’s still a bit hot! In the previous life, during this season, Tian Fan was used to sleeping with the fan on and covered with a quilt, but now... Tian Fan tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
.
If you drink too much, you will pee more! Tian Fan was woken up by peeing at night. Although there was a toilet in the house, he still couldn't adapt to being served by a little girl to pee. Xiaoqing was on the night shift today. When she heard the noise, she
Wake up.
Opening her eyes, she asked: "Master, do you want to change clothes?" Tian Fan happened to walk up to her and heard him ask. He hummed in his mouth and said, "Don't get up, it's cold!" With that, he pulled her over.
The little body that was about to sit up pressed down again, hugged her gently, and said, "Don't worry about me while you sleep!" Xiao Qing blushed a little because of Tian Fan's intimate movements, and lay down obediently, a little stiff.
The body and the mouth made a humming sound like a mosquito, which was regarded as an agreement...
Tian Fan smiled, patted her shoulder gently, stood up, and left the room.
Under the bright moonlight, Tian Fan walked towards the toilet. When he passed through the west wing, he saw a figure next to the small pavilion. After a closer look, it turned out to be Hui'er! Tian Fan thought, what is this girl doing if she doesn't sleep at night?
?Can't help but be curious, he quietly leaned over.
I saw Hui'er looking up at the moon in the sky, seeming to sigh. Tian Fan was stunned. The moonlight was not bright, and it seemed that Hui'er's skin was not that fair. She was a beauty in the first place, and the moonlight made it even more hazy.
It was as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth! After a while, she lowered her head, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "I would have noticed you when I came out!"
Tian Fan came to her side without any embarrassment and said, "What about, sunbathing in the moon?"
Huier chuckled lightly and said, "What are you doing up?"
Tian Fan looked at this woman whom he knew almost nothing about and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go do something first!" After saying that, Sayazi ran away. Huier was still wondering, why are you doing something in such a hurry? Seeing him
The direction of running was immediately clear, and I couldn’t help but blush!
After a while, Tian Fan solved the problem, washed his hands, and came back feeling relaxed. He walked up to Hui'er and asked, "Are you homesick or missing your family?"
Hui'er glanced at him and said, "I miss home, and I miss my family too!"
Tian Fan nodded and said, "Tell me about your family affairs, it will make you feel a lot better!"
Huier looked at him and said softly: "Really?"
Tian Fan nodded and sat on the stone bench, looking up at this strong woman.
Huier said softly: "I want to ask you something, and you have to answer it truthfully!"
Tian Fan thought to himself what's wrong with this girl? This is not her style. This girl has always been a womanizer, so why is she so stubborn? He said: "Okay, you ask!"
Huier asked: "Is your father good to you?"
Tian Fan nodded and said, "Okay! Although my father trains me every day, I know that he cares about me and loves me!"
Chapter completed!
