Wang Yugui smiled and said, "I need to think about this. Next year is the Year of the Snake, so I need to draw a nice and interesting snake for the lantern!"

"Hehe, that's right. Our family's lanterns all depend on brother's good painting of the lanterns." The second sister laughed when she heard this.

The eldest sister suddenly asked Wang: "Mom, is it bad to be born in the year of the snake?"

"Ah, is it bad to be born in the Year of the Snake? Sister, who told you that?" The second sister was about to put a piece of mooncake in her mouth, and when she heard what the eldest sister said, she quickly interrupted.

Wang smiled and said, "Not really, but I heard from the elders that snakes born in the first half of the year have better luck than those born in the second half of the year!"

"Mom, why is this happening?" the second sister asked while eating mooncakes.

Wang laughed: "Just saying that, how would mother know why!"

"It's okay to be born in the Year of the Snake, it's better than being born in the Year of the Rat. If a rat crosses the street, everyone will shout and beat it." Wang Yugui also interjected after hearing this.

The eldest sister laughed: "Haha, that's right, I didn't know the zodiac when I was a child."

"I thought he was a mouse, or something. When I heard about the word rat, I thought he was a mouse, haha!"

"Haha, sister, me too. When I was a child, my mother always said that my sister was a big horse and I was a little monkey. I thought my sister was transformed from a horse and I was transformed from a monkey." The second sister also laughed.

Wang Yugui also laughed when he heard this. It seemed that he had made the same mistake when he was a child.

When he was a child, his family always called him Piggy, especially his two sisters, who always liked to tease him with piggy toys, saying that was him.

This caused him to always have an inexplicable sense of kinship with pigs when he was a child. Not only would he get angry if you said anything bad about the pigs, but he would also get angry if you said anything bad about the pigs!

Wang also laughed: "Oh, Mom thought so when she was a child!"

Then he looked at the children and said, "Speaking of which, our family's zodiac signs are all pretty good!"

"My mother was born in the Year of the Rabbit, my son was born in the Year of the Pig, my eldest sister was born in the Year of the Horse, and my second sister was born in the Year of the Monkey"

Then he looked at Wang Yugui again and said, "Guier's dead father was born in the year of the Ox. He was a miserable ox!"

Then he looked at his elder and second sisters and said with a smile: "The zodiac signs of Chunsheng and his brother are not bad either, one is a tiger and the other is a dragon."

Wang Yugui also laughed after hearing this: "Haha, Chunsheng and his brother are brothers of dragon and tiger!"

"Brother, is the emperor also born in the year of the dragon?" the second sister suddenly asked

Wang Yugui laughed: "It seems that the emperor today is not of the dragon zodiac sign!"

"Then how can we say that the emperor is the true dragon emperor? He even wears a dragon robe." The second sister blinked her big eyes and looked at Wang Yugui. She had had this question for a long time.

Wang Yugui frowned and smiled: "The True Dragon Emperor has nothing to do with the zodiac sign!"

"There is only one true dragon emperor, but there can be many people of the dragon zodiac. As for the dragon robe, well, that's a rule set by the royal family."

"I still don't quite understand. The emperor is not a dragon, so why does he say he is a real dragon descended to earth? Are dragons in heaven very powerful?" The second sister frowned, her big eyes full of questions.

Wang Yugui was speechless. How could this be explained? How could a little girl like Second Sister even doubt the emperor?

"Oh, second sister, why are you asking more and more outrageous questions? Can we talk about the emperor's affairs? Shut up!" Wang Yugui hesitated, and before he could answer, Wang frowned.

The second sister heard this and smiled innocently: "Mom, I just asked my brother at home, I wouldn't dare to tell him outside!"

"Isn't Brother Shuisheng born in the Year of the Dragon? I was wondering if he has any relationship with the Emperor? Hehe!"

Wang Yugui laughed so hard that he spit out his tea. "Wang Ermei, you are really imaginative!"

"Haha, she probably thought Shuisheng is also a dragon son, so he can also be the emperor." The eldest sister also laughed and teased the second sister

Wang Shi didn't laugh when she heard this. She quickly shouted, "Sister, what are you talking about? Shut up!"

"What if someone heard this? Are you going to die?"

"Cough, cough." Wang Yugui saw that his mother was anxious, and he coughed twice: "Yes, mother is right, you can't say such things casually!"

"You two have to be careful. Even though you are at home, you can't say anything. Be careful, walls may have ears!"

"Brother, what does it mean that the walls have ears? Is there an ear outside our wall?" The second sister looked at Wang Yugui and asked

Wang Yugui smiled and thought, oh, this little girl really has a lot of questions: "Yeah, what is the purpose of having an ear outside the wall? To eavesdrop on our conversation, understand?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and twisted the little sister's ears. The second sister laughed and cried, "Hey, brother, talk about the ears outside, why are you twisting my ears, mother, look at me..."

"Oh, okay, okay, Gui'er, stop teasing her. I'm talking to you seriously." Wang smiled and patted her son's hand.

The eldest sister hurriedly said: "Mom, you are right, I have remembered what you just said, from now on, I will not dare to speak nonsense, hehe!"

"Yes, mother, I also remembered it, I won't ask nonsense questions in the future, hehe." The second sister also laughed and said

Wang Yugui also hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, I have remembered it too. From now on, we must be careful with our words, be careful with our words!"

Then he looked up at the moon and said, "Let's enjoy the moon. Look, the moon is so round and bright tonight!"

"The moon on the 15th is fuller than the 16th, and the moon tomorrow night will be even fuller." Wang also looked up at the moon and said with a smile.

The eldest sister laughed and said, "It's a pity that brother can't watch the moon with us tomorrow night."

"Yes, tomorrow night, my brother will go to watch the moon with his father-in-law." The second sister looked at the moon, then looked at Wang Yugui, and said with a smile

Wang and the eldest sister laughed when they heard this. Wang Yugui glared at the second sister and said, "What father-in-law? Mr. Tan is only in his forties, not old!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

……

On the evening of August 16, Wang Yugui carefully washed and dressed up and went to the Tan Mansion for the banquet as scheduled.

Sure enough, as he expected, it was a family dinner, and Mrs. Tan and Miss Tan were both at the table.

The dinner was rich in dishes, but as soon as Wang Yugui saw Miss Tan, his mind was no longer on the dishes and he would steal glances at Miss Tan from time to time.

Because Mr. Tan was there, he had no other chance to get close to Miss Tan except for exchanging a few polite words with her.

After eating the home-cooked dishes for a while, suddenly, the maid brought a basin of water for everyone to wash their hands.

Wang Yugui was puzzled. The banquet had only just started for a while. Why was they washing their hands?

However, he did not ask, but just followed Mr. Tan and the others and did as they were told.

"Brother, there are some big crabs sent from the farm today. My mother asked the kitchen to steam some for you to try." Miss Tan smiled and explained to Wang Yugui.

Wang Yugui understood after hearing this. Oh, so they were going to eat big crabs. He smiled and said, "Really? Thank you, Mrs. Tan!"

"I haven't eaten this year's big crabs yet, hehe!"

"Huh, no wonder Xier said a few days ago that she wanted to eat crabs today. It turns out she wanted to satisfy your craving." Mr. Tan continued.

Wang Yugui heard this and laughed, "I, I don't know!"

"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about? I like eating crabs. It just so happens that your brother is here today, so let's eat together." Miss Tan smiled.
