In the evening, Liu brought Yuan and Lu Shufang and other female relatives over here, and saw that Jieshou Hall was already full of people.︾

Zhu Ruoyu and Zhu Ruizhu came to celebrate the festival early, and then wanted to go back and recite scriptures. Xiao, who was older and more enthusiastic, did not allow their sisters to go back. Even Shi Suqin, Qin Suqin, and Jin Ju were not allowed to go home to celebrate the festival.

A large group of people came out and walked through the twists and turns of corridors. Lanterns were hung everywhere along the way, hanging bridges passed by. Looking down from the top of the mountain, most of the entire Yisou Garden did not light the lights.

The glazed tiles of the building reflect the moonlight and are covered with mist like smoke, which looks extremely suitable. A breeze blows, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the mountains penetrates into the nose.

When we arrived at the gate of Xiao Guanghan's Moon Cave, dozens of osmanthus trees were flowing in the shape of a flowing tree, especially the moonlight shone, everyone was covered with flowers and shadows. The crickets under the stone steps were chirping constantly. The moon platform in front was covered with osmanthus flowers, and a moon offering was set up. A moon palace made of silk paper was full of pavilions, towers, flowers, plants and trees, and Chang'e and Jade Rabbit made of lanterns were vivid.

Xu Xiangyu looked at the rising cigarettes of Miaomiao and smiled and said, "This place looks like Qingxu Mansion in the Moon Palace."

Xu Yunyu followed and said, "My Moon and Chang'e, the fairy, have arrived, and there is only one rabbit missing." After saying that, he pointed to Xiao Binglan, who was dressed as a man, "It's her."

The three wives all laughed, and Xiao said to Binglan with a smile: "I know how to bully you all day long, so I won't even twist her mouth."

"Rabbit is interesting, I'm afraid it's not my turn." Xiao Binglan probably got used to it and didn't take it seriously with a smile.

Mu Lanxiang, who was nestled in Mu Ningxue's arms, said: "Don't worry, who will steal your reputation?"

Xiao Binglan smiled and said, "Of course he is the second brother."

Everyone laughed again. At that moment, Xiao asked everyone to join the table, and the table was filled with steamed osmanthus crabs and sweet osmanthus wine.

After sitting according to his identity, Zhu Mingzhi's table had a seat empty, which should be Xu Yu's. Now people don't know where it is. Mu Ningxue ordered Zhu Kui to call him and let him sit in Xu Yu's seat.

The girl's maids sat around. Zhu Kui's arrival made the girls feel very different. Judging from his age as Xu Ye, not only was he an out of place, but his words and behaviors seemed very special. I don't know why he looked annoying, so everyone ignored him.

After eating like this, the eldest lady Wang looked around and said, "There are many people today, why is it that the only thing missing is lonely?"

Xiao pointed to Xu Ye and Xu Kun and other male men who were a little further away and smiled and said, "How can they not be deserted when they are here?"

"Yes." Wang nodded and broke a mooncake apart, "They are not comfortable, and we girls are not comfortable. Let's go play after eating."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ye and his brothers cheered, got up and left like an amnesty, making the women laugh. Only Zhu Kui was indifferent and seemed to enjoy the taste of being surrounded by girls.

At this time, Liu asked the ripples busy peeling crabs for him, "Okay, what show do you have? Call it up quickly."

"Yes." Lianyi winked at Ye Qin, and Ye Qin smiled and clapped her hands.

Then I saw maids getting up and walking out, and soon appeared in the corridor opposite. After sitting down, I played the ten-drink gongs and drums. Various instruments were played, and the sound was very elegant and pleasant.

The full moon in the sky brighter and brighter, and the lanterns in the yard were hung. The wind brought the fragrance of osmanthus from all directions.

Zhu Mingzhi smiled and said, "This osmanthus is very prosperous. Others don't bloom like this. Perhaps this flower is here to announce good news to all wives and three sisters-in-laws. You see, even the candle flowers on the platform are blooming into a pair of wishful thinking."

Wang and Liu nodded with a smile, Xiao was happy. Suddenly, a sound of gongs and drums broke out, and many cloud lamps surged out from the moon cave gate at the end of the corridor opposite, with more than a dozen of them in a string, all of which were held by the little girl.

They held the cloud lamp and walked under the osmanthus tree, shuttled back and forth, and the lanterns connected into a cloud bridge. A cloud rose slowly behind the cloud lamp, and a fairy stood on it, with a colorful dress and a beautiful face.

Everyone looked closely and some people recognized Chang'e, played by Qin Yan, and sang, and a cheerful rabbit lamp popped up behind her.

Bang! Several fireworks gushed around, and thousands of flames flashed in the night sky, extremely brilliant.

On the stage, the maid Dachun, who was singing the old voice, played Emperor Minghuang of Tang, and a singing Sulan played Master Ye. The two of them sang, and cloud lights appeared all over the courtyard. The clear and soft moonlight made the osmanthus seem to be more fragrant.

Sheng Xiao's voice was very quiet. Xiao, who was smiling, watched the show and drank wine, was very satisfied with the children's preparation. Because the moonlight moved in the room, the light of the lantern made the characters on the stage not see clearly, so he ordered the lights inside and outside to blow out.

At the same time, a friend of Xia Gui's outside the city, Li Yuan came to Xia's house and complained: "I just found you today. I've asked about it all in the city. It turns out that I've moved here."

Xia Gui said, "I have something to do after I moved out, so I didn't have time to tell you. By the way, how are Brother Wang going to be lately?"

"Good, okay." Li Yuan sat down, "Last month, the master of the Wang family wrote a letter saying that he would marry him next year. Even the Sun family urged me from time to time. We were not young at first, so I wrote a letter back to my hometown. Who knew that I would not send one or two taels of silver for half a year. I couldn't avoid getting married, right? Now the 100 taels of restaurant account costs twenty or thirty taels a month. You have many ideas, so at least I think about it for me."

Xia Gui frowned and said, "I'm going to tell you, don't you know that I was blackmailed by someone to sue? I spent a lot of money. Now I am unemployed here again. The family eats horses and feeds them. There is really no money. I blame me. It took a lot of money to clean up this house. That day, Old Xi and Old Zhang advised me to be frugal, and you still have clothes to pawn, but it's not like me, I can't even be a good person to eat."

"Why are you pretending to be poor?" Li Yuan was unhappy, "Will I not pay it back? My hometown was delayed because of the matter, and my family was not short of money, so I would have to pay it at least 500 taels of silver for my wedding. Now I will lend you a few dozen taels to meet the emergency and buy the betrothal gift first. Otherwise, I would have lost my wife. Brother Xia, good man Xia! You can't stand by death and refuse to save me."

Unexpectedly, after the lawsuit, Xia Gui remembered that Li Yuan had not even shown his face at that time, and had seen through the wine and meat brother, and sneered: "It's amazing! Why don't you think that I'm not an official or a rich man, why do you think I'm rich? To tell you the truth, you have a 100 taels of account outside, and I'm five hundred taels. If you don't believe me, I'll take it out for you to see."

As he said that, he took out a stack of quotations from his boots. Li Yuan took them and saw that there were about 200 taels of tailors, and there were more than 200 taels of grocery stores in restaurants and groceries. There were still some scattered debts of dozens of taels. Isn’t it more than 500?

Li Yuan said in surprise: "Why do you owe so much money? You're paying it back."

Xia Gui sighed, "There are still some orders that have not been delivered. This Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day holiday is not worth 500 taels? Anyway, I am empty now, but I still have some clothes, but I have to wear them! Brother, I really can't take care of myself, why don't you arrange for me? The two brothers in your in-laws are said to be very rich."

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Don't talk about those two treasures. I've never seen them go back to the east all day. Even the boss of the Sun family owed some debts. I don't know where I have been hiding these two days, and I'm worried that he will discuss with me."

Xia Gui heard his whispering complaints and had to stay for dinner. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan had no intention of leaving and went to his study to smoke a big cigarette pot, which made Xia Gui very upset.

Half an hour later, Xia Gui said, "It's getting late, hurry up and go back."

Li Yuan was indifferent, and Xia Gui said again: "If you don't leave, the city gate will be closed."

"I won't leave." Li Yuan put on another pot, "I'll rest here tonight."

Xia Gui said speechlessly: "I slept in the study tonight, and there is only one bedding, how can I sleep with two people?"

"It's okay." Li Yuan said indifferently: "Just use quilts and lay some clothes under it. It's not cold this day. We haven't had a bed together for a year or two, so it's just a matter of talking tonight."

Helpless Xia Gui had to let him go, but Li Yuan was ungrateful and regarded himself as his master. From time to time, he asked the servant to come over and pour the ashes, and wanted to eat snacks. After a while, he had to eat fruits, wash his face and feet, and called the servant around, and was so tired that he was half exhausted.

Seeing him like this, Xia Gui simply lay aside and ignored him.

In Yisou Garden, the lanterns inside and outside dim one by one, and the bright moonlight poured down. The environment was extremely pleasant, and everyone said it was interesting.

Suddenly, an extremely bright beam of light shot down from a high place, and the light shone towards the stage, illuminating the people on the stage in a tiny light, no less than the sun.

Everyone was shocked, and Mu Ningxue quickly explained: "This is the lightning that has been released soon. In short, my husband has been trying to do something for twenty years. "

Wang rubbed his eyes and sighed: "The third brother is simply a living god, incredible, incredible."

Liu hurriedly instructed solemnly: "This matter has nothing to do with the Third Master. You all remember it. It was invented by others."

Xu Hao is the source of the glory and wealth of the entire clan. In this regard, the whole family is united. Wang immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes, yes, no one is allowed to spread it."

"Yes." Mu Ningxue laughed in her heart. Her husband has been in Jinling for a long time, and these inventions are all in other places. Even if it is said to be his own contribution, he will be willing to believe it.

On the rockery, Xu Hao sat on the Grand Master's chair with satisfaction. Xu Ye was watching the power generation equipment curiously. The huge generator of the coarse benzene made the sound of Weng Weng, which looked like a fairy music in Xu Hao's ears.

Twenty years of investment finally paid off. The hard research of tens of thousands of students and tens of thousands of relevant personnel in Liaodong and countless funds, under the guidance of correct theory, the Ming Dynasty finally realized a cross-age scientific miracle. Of course, the road to industrialization in the future is still very, very long.
