As soon as Xu Lanyin finished speaking, everyone applauded more enthusiastically than ever before.
With a blushing face, Xu Lanting pulled Min Jia to the middle and began to recite.
Xu Lanting recited two lines, then stopped and said to Min Jia, "Jia Jia, if you don't clap your hands, my voice will have no rhythm and won't sound good. Please help me. After you help, let my sister tell a joke. My sister's jokes are really funny. Okay?"
Although Minjia thought Uncle Lanting was very kind, she was reluctant to high-five him in front of so many people. But she really wanted to hear Aunt Xu's jokes, so she nodded in agreement.
Xu Lanting began to recite again, and Min Jia clapped his hands rhythmically.
The moon in the sky is round and round,
It looks like a jade plate reflected in the sea.
A school of fish swam over.
The jade plate broke into two or three pieces.
The fish were so frightened that they almost ran away.
Escape all the way to the rock.
Looking back,
The moon is still round and full.
This program has a different meaning because of the participation of Minjia. The applause and cheers are particularly enthusiastic, with the voices of Minjia households being the loudest.
Seeing that their show was the most popular, the two children happily returned to their seats.
Xu Lanting said to Xu Lanyin, "Sister, I just made a wish with Jia Jia, you have to tell a joke."
Xu Lanyin poked him with her finger and said with a smile, "You ask for help from others, but use me to make a wish." Seeing Min Jia looking at her expectantly, she smiled again and said, "Okay, I'll tell you a joke."
It was fine for Xu Lanyin to tell stories, but telling jokes was difficult for her. She had a lot of jokes in her past life, but they were all dirty and definitely couldn't be told in this situation.
Xu Lanyin thought about it and could only tell a classic ancient joke from her previous life, "The Son-in-law's Birthday Celebration." She thought that even if this joke existed in this era, it would be different after her interpretation.
After she finished telling the story, she realized that the joke made these ancient people laugh so hard that they fell over, and even Min Jia, who never made a sound, chuckled a few times.
Minhu also laughed very brightly, and his laughter was no less than Zhao Wuxiao's.
Xu Lanyin only then realized that such a joke did not exist in this era.
Looking at Minhu, Xu Lanyin secretly laughed. This serious and boring man finally let loose today. It was really rare. She smiled and said, "I performed two shows. It's only fair that you perform two too."
Zhao Wu was the first to respond. He stood up and threw a beautiful set of punches.
Xu Lanting pulled Min Jia to perform "We are all wooden people", and Min Jia also let go and had a lot of fun.
Seeing his daughter's eyes curved with laughter, and then looking at Xu Lanyin who was also smiling, Minhu smiled even more happily.
After the performance of the wooden man, Zhao Wu and Xu Lanting looked at Minhu without blinking.
Minhu really let go today and was not modest. He stood up and recited another poem about the moon, which was obviously more emotional than the first time.
Received sincere applause.
Minhu looked up at the sky. Although he was very reluctant to leave, he knew he couldn't play any more. He smiled and said, "The moon is already at its zenith. It's time to go back and rest."
On the way, the two children, who had just been playing with great interest, began to feel sleepy. Xu Lanyin carried Minjia, and Minhu carried Xu Lanting back to Minjia's yard.
When breaking up with Zhao Wu, Xu Lanyin glanced at him. In front of Min Hu, the two dared not make any small moves, but Xu Lanyin knew that Zhao Wu would find an excuse to go to Feng County and "visit Longxing at night" tomorrow morning.
Arriving at the courtyard gate, Minhu handed Xu Lanting to the chess master and said to Xu Lanyin with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Xu. Jiaer is much happier. Today is also the happiest Mid-Autumn Festival I have ever had."
The smile was as bright as the moon in the sky, which made Xu Lanyin's eyes flash.
The next morning, Zhao Wu rode his horse to Feng County.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, a maid from the outer courtyard came to report that Lord Gui had brought a boy named Xiao Zhuzi and was waiting in the outer courtyard.
When Xu Lanting heard that Brother Zhao had actually adopted a son, she grinned so much that her mouth stretched to her ears. She said, "Brother Zhao is always so willful. He's younger than my sister, and he hasn't even married yet, yet he's adopted a son."
Xu Lanyin said, "We met that child at the Longxing Inn. We couldn't find his family, so he's very pitiful. Your brother Zhao should recognize him as his son and let him live with us from now on."
When Xu Lanting heard it was the beggar from the Longxing Inn, his expression immediately turned serious. He said, "He's Brother Zhao's son, so he's my nephew. I have to treat him well." He then took Min Jia's hand and said, "Come on, let's go get my nephew. He's your brother too, so you have to treat him well. He's so pitiful."
Min Jia listened to his uncle's stories about the poor little beggar and nodded heavily.
They arrived at a wing in the outer courtyard and saw a little boy standing next to a young man. He was wearing a loose brown short-sleeved shirt and long trousers, and had a tiled head. His face was cleanly washed, and his eyes shone like stars on a summer night. He was very beautiful. However, there was a red scrape on the tip of his nose, probably from being hit and falling to the ground.
He was the little beggar they met at Longxing Inn that day who was beaten for eating steamed buns.
The child seemed to still remember Xu Lanyin. When he saw her, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he kept looking at her without blinking.
Xu Lanyin's heart softened. She smiled at the child, then thanked Master Gui and presented him with a purse filled with silver ingots.
Even for Lord Min, Gui Fu did not dare to accept Xu Lanyin's gift, not to mention that he saw Zhao Wu's ability and Lord Min's appreciation of Zhao Wu.
He shook his head and smiled, "Miss Xu, you're too polite. Zhao Wu is my good brother, so I should help you with this small favor." He added, "If Miss Xu needs Gui in the future, please ask someone to bring me a message."
Xu Lanyin thanked him and said with a smile, "When Lord Gui goes to Nanping County in the future, please come to my house as a guest."
Gui Fu smiled and said, "That's right, I've heard Brother Zhao say a lot about Miss Xu's cooking skills."
Xu Lanyin leaned over and said to the child, "Good child, I am Aunt Xu..."
The child whispered, "I know you. You are the aunt from that day. You are as beautiful as my mother."
He remembered himself and even his mother.
Xu Lanyin asked hurriedly, "Do you still remember your mother? Then do you still remember where your home is, or what your parents' names are? If you do, we will take you home."
The child whispered, "Mom, Dad, Taizu, Chuan Chuan..." Then he looked at Xu Lanyin blankly, as if he could no longer remember anything else that happened before.
I still haven't forgotten my mother, father, and ancestors. My family must have been happy before...
Xu Lanyin smiled and said, "You are so smart. You still remember Aunt Xu. How about this? You can live with us until your parents are found. We will treat you well and will not beat you or let you go hungry."
Xu Lanting reminded her, "Sister, you've got the wrong relatives. He's Brother Zhao's son. You should call me aunt and me uncle."
