Mrs. Leisurely

Chapter 96
After Lihun filled the oiled paper bag, he smiled and said, "Master, this subordinate knows that you have always been stingy, so I won't take so much, so I will take my leave first." Say loudly, "Mistress, thank you."

Zhanyan looked at Lihun's full pack of mooncakes with a funny face, there were at least ten of them, and he even said that Zhongliyu was stingy and didn't take so many. How did you get such a treasure.

Zhong Liyu seemed not surprised, and continued to eat the mooncakes in his hand politely. Not long after, Uncle Yang came and said that he had welcomed King Zhennan to the front hall. Sure enough, Lihun was here to get the mooncakes.

Zhanyan ordered people to distribute the mooncakes, and everyone in the house got a share, and then kept half of the mooncakes for herself to enjoy the moon tonight, so she took Zhong Liyu to see Zhan Tianyi.

Zhan Tianyi was quietly waiting for his daughter in the front hall. Seeing her daughter's arrival with a flushed face, he thought he had a very happy life, so he couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

Zhong Liyu and Zhanyan Qiqi saluted him and called him dad affectionately.

Zhan Tianyi happily agreed, and after being imprisoned for more than ten years, now that he can see his daughter and son-in-law, he feels very satisfied.

"Father, you are really here. I thought you were going to attend the palace banquet, but you can't come." In previous years, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there would be banquets held in the palace, and officials above rank three were invited to participate.

Zhan Tianyi looked at his daughter lovingly, and said: "I heard that you are having a wedding, so I want to come and see you. I will not attend the palace banquet. I have already told the emperor in advance that I am not feeling well, so I will not attend. The emperor also agreed." gone."

Zhanyan said happily: "That's great dad, this year our family can finally have a real reunion on the Hungry Ghost Festival."

When Zhan Tianyi heard the word reunion, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Thinking of his dead wife, he felt a little pain in his heart, but seeing his daughter's happy face, he quickly put away his sadness and said with a smile: "Well, Yan'er said That's right, this year our family will celebrate the festival together, and next year, our grandson will celebrate the festival together, and next year will be even more lively."

"Father, it's good that you know, don't think so much about the past, and cherish the present, right?" Zhanyan naturally didn't miss the sadness in his father's eyes, so he comforted him.

"Yan'er is right, one must learn to be content in life." Zhan Tianyi nodded.

"Father, I made mooncakes, you must try them."

"Oh? What are mooncakes?"

"It's a kind of cake eaten during the Hungry Ghost Festival." Zhanyan asked someone to go to the kitchen to get mooncakes, and after a while, the servant girl put a few mooncakes on a plate and brought them over. Immediately, the flower hall was full of fragrance.

Zhan Tianyi took a look, and saw a few round cakes of yellow and orange on the white plate. There was a layer of oil on the cake, and it smelled very sweet, and he wanted to eat it just looking at it.

"Father, try it and see how your daughter's craftsmanship is?" Zhanyan picked up a mooncake stuffed with five kernels and handed it to Zhan Tianyi. Zhan Tianyi took it and took a bite, only to feel that it was full of fragrance and delicious. , I couldn't help but took another big bite, and said it was delicious.

"Girl Yan, you're too partial. You don't give your grandpa food to eat when you cook something good, and you only care about honoring your father here." Outside the door, Gu Yan's dissatisfied voice came, and after a while, he walked in quickly. In the flower hall, when I saw the mooncakes in the plate, I grabbed one and stuffed it into my mouth.

Zhanyan glanced at him speechlessly, and said: "Grandpa, didn't I just finish this, my father came here, and I haven't had time to give it to you, why am I partial?"

"Well, it's delicious." Gu Yan didn't even look at Zhanyan, he finished one in two bites, then grabbed another one, and continued to stuff it into his mouth.

"Grandpa, you can't eat slowly, be careful of choking." Zhanyan said helplessly, why does his grandfather look like a child when he gets old.

"Smelly girl, I'm not a child, I can choke on a piece of pancake, don't look down on people." Unexpectedly, as soon as he said to stop, he coughed, obviously, he really choked.

Zhanyan quickly handed him a glass of water, and he took a few sips of water before he regained his strength.

"Look, I told you not to eat so fast, it's better." Zhanyan patted his back to help him calm down, and asked with concern.

"Haha, it's all right, girl Yan, why didn't you make such delicious pancakes before, if I knew you have this skill, I would definitely go to pester you every year for the Hungry Ghost Festival." Gu Yan blamed Glancing at Zhanyan, he said angrily.

Zhanyan couldn't laugh or cry, he wanted to pester her to spend the Ghost Festival with her just because the pancakes she made were delicious, how realistic is this person?

Gu Yan ignored Zhan Yan's ugly expression, he turned his head to look at Zhan Tianyi and said, "Are you the King of Zhennan?"

Zhan Tianyi bowed his hands to him, and said: "Back to the old senior, this junior is Zhan Tianyi."

Gu Yan nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, much more pleasing to the eye than the fake one before."

Zhan Tianyi was sweating like crazy, this old man is really straightforward.

Before Zhan Tianyi could answer, Gu Yan continued: "Let me just say, my granddaughter is so beautiful, cute, and smart, why is she not favored by her father? Could it be that her father is sick? After a long time, it turned out that her father It's a counterfeit."

Zhan Tianyi quickly said: "These years, thanks to seniors taking care of Yan'er, this junior is very grateful."

"That stinky girl has a lot of skills, so I need to take care of her, but I drank a lot of good wine from her." Gu Yan waved his hand indifferently.

With black lines all over his face, this stinky old man wishes the whole world knew that he was addicted to alcohol.

"Senior was joking." Zhan Tianyi smiled, he was a famous general of his generation, and his personality was also of the forthright type. Seeing Gu Yan speak like this, instead of feeling disgusted, he felt very kind.

Gu Yan chatted with Zhan Tianyi as if no one else was there. Most of the time, it was Gu Yan talking about Zhanyan's childhood fun. Zhan Tianyi listened with gusto and looked at Gu Yan gratefully. He knew that Gu Yan was giving him Telling about her daughter's growth process, this old man looks big and rough, but in fact he is as careful as a hair.Even Zhanyan, who was listening beside him, couldn't help feeling a little moved. It turned out that grandpa cared so much about him all these years.

After a while, the old prince and Doctor Meng also came. First, they heard that Zhan Tianyi was here and wanted to come to see it. Second, of course they heard that Zhanyan made a very delicious cake, so hurry up Come and try something new.

When the old prince and doctor Meng saw Zhan Tianyi, they couldn't help but be courteous. They were not like Gu Yan, who didn't care about the three sevens and twenty ones as soon as they came in, they just eat the cake first.After the formalities, it was natural to taste the mooncakes, and the two ate them with gusto, praising the art of showing off their beauty.

This Hungry Ghost Festival, before the dinner time, the Gu family mansion became lively early because of the mooncakes made by Zhan Yan.
