Chapter 26 Reunion(1/4)
On the fifteenth day of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city is decorated with lights and colorful lights, and every household in Jinling City is full of reunion.
In the mansion on the south bank of Wende Bridge, the Lu family was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the mansion separated by a wall to the east, the Xu family, who were staying here, were also happily preparing for a reunion banquet.
It was still morning. Xu Buling came back from the Lu family’s banquet. When he walked past the courtyard wall, he heard a conversation coming from the kitchen:
"Si Ning, where have Manzhi and Qingye gone?"
"Go to the Great Sword Saint..."
Xu Buling stopped and looked up over the wall and headed inside.
In the large kitchen of the house, Chen Sining stood beside the desk, wearing an apron on her body, rotating like the wind, cutting the ingredients to be used at night.
Chen Sining is very skilled in martial arts. He chops people on horseback like cutting vegetables, and chops vegetables on horseback like cutting people. He is very skilled in flowing clouds and water, but the situation looks a bit scary.
Song Yufu and Zhongli Chuchu both held plates in front of their chests, stood at the corner of the kitchen, watching enviously and nervously.
Nightingale's martial arts skills are also not weak. Maybe she is standing opposite Chen Sining with a competitive heart, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, comparing who can cut faster.
Qiao'e, Yuenu and Doudou didn't dare to get close to him at all. At this time, he hid outside the kitchen and washed and cut vegetables carefully.
The two little snakes were a little envious of the meat on the chopping board, but were afraid that their master would cut them into snake soup with a knife, so they could only hide behind the threshold, open their mouths and wait for feeding.
Xu Buling watched for a while, and did not disturb the house of several girls who were preparing for the dinner. He walked to the tea pavilion in front and glanced at the window.
In the wide tea pavilion, several small cases were put together, and white flour, fillings, tools, etc. were placed on the desk, as well as molds prepared in advance by Xiao Xianger.
Xiao Qi, who was busy with business and never cooked all year round, changed into home clothes, wore an apron, sat next to the desk, wrapped the dough carefully, and put it in the abrasive to press it into a round shape.
Although Xiao Qi was extremely intelligent, her craftsmanship was obviously not as good as her own sister. Although she looked very serious, she accidentally applied some flour on her cheeks and patterns on the mooncakes. She originally wanted to make Xu Buling's face, but after sculpting for a long time, she couldn't even recognize what she was carving.
Xiao Xiang'er sat next to her without any abrasive tools. She used a knife to carve the pattern of "Mid-Autumn Moon Night" on the mooncakes, which was lifelike and didn't forget to mock her:
"Sister, if you can't do it, just with your skills, who dares to eat what you make?"
Xiao Qi glanced at Xiao Xianger's mooncake, then looked at her own, and said sourly:
"Xu Buling is not going to let you eat it. Besides, it's not that I'm not good-looking alone. Do you think they are just like you, studying these useless tricks all day long?"
Around the case desk, Ning Yuhe and Jiujiu are also preparing mooncakes carefully.
As Xiao Qi said, not everyone is skillful and skilled in swordsmanship.
At this time, Zhongli Jiujiu placed the little sparrow in front of him, letting it spread its wings and pose as the "Phoenix Ming Jiutian". He carved it carefully, and the shape was reasonable.
Ning Yuhe is a bit embarrassing. Ning Yuhe himself is a martial artist and has been dependent on Qingye for many years. Both of them have a relatively good lifestyle, and they pay attention to speed and convenience. How can they make up these fancy things?
Ning Yuhe had almost done one after seeing Zhongli Jiujiu, and she had no idea how to start, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.
Lu Hongluan leaned against the recliner and watched. Cui Xiaowan put her cheek on Lu Hongluan's belly and listened to the movements of the unborn baby.
Seeing that Ning Yuhe had not moved for a long time, Cui Xiaowan was understanding and said:
"Dabai, if you don't know what to carve, let your mother make one for you first. You can just draw it accordingly."
Xiao Xianger's craftsmanship is very good and it is completed in just a few seconds. Hearing the words, he took the mooncake that had been halfway through Yuhe and said with a smile:
"This is not simple, I'm sure."
Ning Yuhe really had no good ideas, so he naturally didn't refuse when he saw this. He leaned his head and watched carefully.
only……
Xiao Xiang'er held a small carving knife and used a "swish swish swish swish" on the white mooncake. In just a few minutes, the lifelike "Flying Phoenix Wings" pattern was presented on the mooncake.
??
Ning Yuhe's eyes were stunned when he watched carefully, and his face instantly turned red to his neck.
When the other girls saw Xiang'er's masterpiece, they couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Hahaha……"
"That's it, Xu Buling must like to eat..."
"Oh, you guys..."
Ning Yuhe was already embarrassed by Xiang'er. Seeing that the sisters laughed at her again, she quickly stood up and ran outside the house:
"I'm going to help with cooking."
Xu Buling was watching outside the window and laughed. Seeing Ning Yuhe escaped from the wilderness, he stood at the corner of the corridor and waited.
Ning Yuhe's face turned red and walked out of the door, heading towards the backyard, his hand was still touching the location of the former Gongsha. His mood had not yet calmed down. As soon as he turned the corner of the corridor, Xu Buling raised his hand and hooked it on his shoulder.
"ah--"
Ning Yuhe was startled. Seeing that it was Xu Buling, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. The blush on her warm cheeks had not dissipated. She said calmly:
"Ling'er, why are you here?"
Xu Buling smiled at the corner of his eyes, hugged Ning Yuhe and walked towards the back door:
"Master, what are you talking about just now? You laugh so happily inside."
Ning Yuhe was so embarrassed to say that Xiang'er was teasing. She hooked her hair hanging down from her ears and said softly:
"Nothing, Jiujiu is making a joke."
"Jiujiu is making a joke, why are you running away?"
"I'm going to help with cooking in the back... Where are you taking me?"
Ning Yuhe was about to walk out of the back door before she realized her reaction and looked at Xu Buling with some confusion.
Xu Buling hugged Yuhe's shoulders, and his eyes were funny:
"Speaking of this, I haven't painted my master for a long time. It's still early to eat, so why don't you find a place..."
“…”
Ning Yu stopped, turned around and glanced, then shook his head and said:
"Forget it, stop drawing. If you serve you again at night and see that I have painted something, they will be laughed at for a month and a half. You don't know that Xiaowan and Jiujiu are caught by my little tail..."
Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, looked back, and lifted up his white long skirt:
"Also carry your tail with me? Let's take a look..."
"ah--"
Ning Yuhe slapped Xu Buling's hand a little annoyed, and Wen Mo's cheeks were a little embarrassed and annoyed:
"Ling'er, you're serious. Don't do these things for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xu Buling was a little disappointed, and looked at the picturesque Qinhuai scenery and sighed:
"It's all out. Isn't it a waste to go back? Master is not happy, let's go back..."
"You, alas..."
It's self-evident.
...
The sun rises and the sun sets, and it is dusk in a blink of an eye.
In the residential area on the south bank of Wende Bridge, Xu Buling held Ning Yuhe's hand with satisfaction and walked towards the courtyard where Zhu Liu temporarily lived.
Ning Yuhe's walking posture was a little awkward, and her legs were still weak. She tidied up her hair and skirt while walking to ensure that she would not be seen strange.
In the quiet alley, there are laughter and joy everywhere.
Zhu Liu lives in the middle of the alley, and Li Hansheng, Pei Huai and several other managers of the Eagle Tower also live here.
Xu Buling pulled Ning Yuhe and walked to the door of the yard. He looked up and saw Manzhi and Guo Shanrong standing in the kitchen, helping to wash dishes.
Under the eaves of the yard, Zhu Liu held a tea bowl in his hand and carefully guided his sword skills.
Ning Qingye held a long sword in his hand and was playing the Zhu family sword that had just learned some fur in the middle of the yard.
Li Hansheng also sat under the eaves. Although he had no worries about his life last time, the wound on his body was real. He was still wearing a bandage and leaning on the recliner to watch his daughter practice swordsmanship.
Since the incident in Shilongshan, the relationship between the father and daughter has been slightly eased. Although Qingye did not change his words to "Dad" on the surface, he was not hiding from Li Hansheng, just like now, learning swordsmanship on his own.
The gloom in Li Hansheng's eyes has now disappeared a lot, but it does not show the satisfaction of living his youth. I wonder if it is because Ning Qing learned swords at night, but now he always looks very serious and tries not to show his emotions.
But from those eyes, Xu Buling could still see what Li Hansheng meant in his heart, probably:
Is this my daughter?
Why are you so stupid?
The force starts from the ground, and you can stab it with a sword and shake the mountain. It's been half a month since you learned such a simple thing...
Ning Yuhe's martial arts skills are not much higher than Qingye, so she can't understand the doubts that such top martial artists will have. Seeing this warm scene, she smiled:
"I'm really hard at the Qingye. People from Mid-Autumn Festival are practicing swords. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in two years."
As soon as the words came out, the two masters in the yard noticed it and looked up.
Ning Qingye put away his sword, looked at the door in a blink of an eye, and said in confusion:
"Mr. Master, why are you here?"
To be continued...
