"As expected, the young lady is more thoughtful." Quan Yue said.
"Let's go back to Ning's house!" After Ning Xiaotang returned to Ning's house, she took out mooncakes and tasted them together with Yu Zimei, Zheng Douqin, Liu Xiangzhu, and Chen Yilan who arrived one after another.
Everyone sat in the main hall, drinking warm water and eating mooncakes, feeling so leisurely.
"Aunt Ning's craftsmanship is so good! The mooncakes here are comparable to those in Kyoto!" Yu Zimei's words shocked Ning Xiaotang?
"Oh, Sister Yu, have you ever eaten mooncakes in Kyoto?" Ning Xiaotang was also curious.
Seeing that she had successfully attracted Ning Xiaotang's attention, Yu Zimei said, "Well, I was fortunate enough to have eaten it. Last year, my mother went to Kyoto for a trip and brought back a small box of mooncakes. I still remember the taste of those mooncakes vividly.
Now I've eaten the food from Sister Ning's house, and it actually tastes the same!"
"Then Sister Yu should try it more." Ning Xiaotang was also shocked at this time. Her mother never mentioned her grandparents' home. What was there that she didn't know?
At Ning Xiaotang's invitation, several young sisters took a scroll and started painting, which was also a way to express their thoughts for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Just because Ning Xiaotang suggested that everyone draw the things they like, put them together and let someone put them away, it can be regarded as a special gift for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
Everyone cooperated with the little host Ning Xiaotang's idea and started painting.
Even Liu Xiangzhu picked up a pen and drew a small fish on the scroll. It was a small fish she happened to see while washing clothes in the river.
Ning Xiaotang drew a picture of the full moon, with a round moon and a few birds sleeping on the branches below.
When several people put the paintings together, everyone signed their names immediately.
I sign my name on the side of each painting, which serves as a mark of my own work.
"This full moon painting is quite nice!" Yu Zimei said from the heart.
The other sisters also nodded.
Zheng Douqin immediately said, "Sister Ning, this full moon might be tonight's full moon. It's really round!"
Chen Yilan's painting of a grass is quite pleasing to the eye.
Zheng Douqin painted a jujube tree.
"Not bad, not bad!" Ning Xiaotang said happily.
Yu Zimei's paintings are landscape paintings, with wild flowers, colorful butterflies, etc. everywhere.
"Sister Yu's painting is the most abundant, which shows that Sister Yu's painting skills are also good!" Ning Xiaotang said thoughtfully.
Everyone painted what they thought in their hearts, but Yu Zimei's painting did not reveal her true thoughts.
Ning Xiaotang couldn't help but have a vague thought in her mind: Could it be that Yu Zimei had already known Ye Jingxiao's identity?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Ning Xiaotang was so surprised that she smiled meaningfully: "Everyone, please take your seats. I'll have Quanyue send this painting to Young Master Ye to see."
Then Quan Yue was seen rolling up the paintings one by one and carrying them up to Ye's house.
When Ye Jingxiao took a look at the painting, he looked straight at the full moon and asked, "Did Tangtang draw this?"
Quan Yue immediately glanced at the painting hanging on the side and bowed, saying, "Yes, Master Ye, it is."
Ye Jingxiao nodded immediately and said, "Please invite Tangtang and her friends to stay overnight at the house. The banquet is already prepared."
Quan Yue immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
When the family dinner at Ning's house was held as scheduled, Zheng Liangduo and several people similar to Ning Zilin were drinking together.
The men in the Ning family were all happily drinking wine.
When everyone ate the mooncakes, they praised them endlessly: "This mooncake is so delicious!"
"You can't even buy this mooncake in Shuihe Town!"
Liu Lanqing just smiled and nodded. Her craftsmanship was considered unique in Shuihe Town. It would be very difficult for ordinary people to eat this kind of mooncake.
But the Ning family can taste this soft, sweet, fragrant and glutinous premium mooncake.
Night House
There were some dancers dancing in the main hall of Ye Jingxiao's mansion, and the musicians next to them were playing music carefully. Suddenly, the whole village was filled with melodious music.
At this moment, Yu Zimei secretly clenched her hands. How could she successfully attract Ye Jingxiao's attention? And how could she not let Ning Xiaotang discover her purpose too early?
This requires a lot of skill. If you don't do it right, it may be difficult to enter Ye's house and be by Ye Jingxiao's side in the future.
"Young Master Ye, I heard that you recognized Sister Ning's painting at a glance. Do you have anything special to say?" Yu Zimei finally mustered up the courage and started talking to Ye Jingxiao about Ning Xiaotang's painting.
"Tangtang's paintings are very clean, without too much frills. The full moon is very comfortable, especially the sleeping birds, which makes the night look very quiet and beautiful!"
Yu Zimei gasped: "Mr. Ye is indeed an expert in painting. Sister Ning's paintings are really like this!"
However, Yu Zimei was secretly happy in her heart. It turned out that as long as the topic was related to Ning Xiaotang, Ye Jingxiao would give a good reply.
Just now, Young Master Ye actually replied to her with a long paragraph.
Yu Zimei knew how to control herself. She reached out and picked up the wine glass and said, "Here's a toast to Master Ye. I hope everything goes well for you!"
Ye Jingxiao nodded, picked up the glass of fruit wine and drank it all.
Ning Xiaotang was surprised at this moment. Why did she find Yu Zimei so unpleasant?
He actually asked and answered questions with Ye Jingxiao? Humph, didn't he just let the wolf into the house?
Ning Xiaotang reached out and took a small cashew nut and put it in her mouth and ate it.
"Tangtang, why didn't you draw the two of us when you were painting?" Ye Jingxiao suddenly turned around and asked Ning Xiaotang.
"Why do you want to draw the two of us?" Ning Xiaotang asked cutely.
She was a little unhappy. If she were to redraw it, she might draw the full moon as a wolf! Hehe!
"We've been together in Ningxiahe Village for so long, but there isn't a single painting that belongs to both of us." Ye Jingxiao's words made Ning Xiaotang's heart jump for no reason.
What was Si planning to do? Was he going to draw this one-and-a-half-year-old kid and send it to his future mother-in-law?
"Cough!" Chen Yilan immediately pretended to cough.
Ning Xiaotang immediately came back to her senses: "I can't draw complicated figures yet!"
Ning Xiaotang replied honestly, and Yu Zimei secretly waited for an opportunity to interrupt again.
But Ye Jingxiao said again: "Tangtang, come to my study later, and we will draw a picture for you as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift."
"I don't need your gift." Ning Xiaotang pretended to refuse.
"How can that be? All your sisters have drawn a picture for you. As your good friend, I should draw a picture that is different from others."
Yu Zimei admitted that hearing such words made her feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to say something else, but at this moment, she couldn't find a way to bring it up.
