sun and moon return

Chapter 76

Chao Ci gently closed the door, followed the lush shade of trees to his small courtyard, and when he walked to the inner courtyard, he could hear scolding coming from his mother's courtyard from a distance.

"I know how to spend time and drink all day long, and the family's business can't help at all. Look at you, you are exactly the same as your cowardly father, you are a waste of nothing!" The harsh admonishment sounded full of air, Don't need to think too much, it must be Mrs. He, the head of the He family, who can have such eloquence and arrogance that can make her son silent, and stand in front of her obediently without daring to say a word.

"It really pissed me off."

Through a door, Chaoci heard his elder brother He Feng's flattering smile: "Mother, take a breather, I just want this 1000 taels of silver just to win you over? Zhang Kun's deal is a sure profit." No compensation! When I return the profit with the principal, I will be the first to honor your old man."

"Don't mention Zhang Kun, that little bastard. He lived to such an old age, all relying on trickery and abduction. 1000 taels of silver were given to you, but the mud fell into the puddle, and there was not a single splash. You still expect him to give you If you bring back the profit, don’t let you lose all your pants, even if it’s touching. Go away, do you want money, don’t upset me here.”

"Mother! It's only 1000 taels of silver! How much property does our family have, and you don't want to let your son go out to start a business with just 1000 taels of silver! I'm your own son! When you are old, I will take care of you! You just Are you doing this to me!" The male voice in the room gradually became irritable.

Chaoci just felt boring, such a drama would have to be staged in He Fu in three to five days.

"Get lost, I won't need you to support me in the future, you trash, support yourself first!"

It is really rare nowadays for the two of them to talk openly and honestly. Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, there was the sound of despondent footsteps from the side, and Chaoci turned to leave. After walking a few steps, he heard the courtyard door behind him seem to be blocked by someone. As if dismantling it with bare hands, she gave He Feng a flat look. The latter was slightly stunned when he saw her, and his expression was immediately dominated by anger.

"Enough of the good show?" He Feng sarcastically looked up and down his shy little sister, showing disdainful contempt, "I really don't know what you are."

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

Chao Ci watched him go away, and heard the sound of cups being thrown from the mother's courtyard, it seemed that the maids in the room had to have a good meal.

Chaoci lowered his eyes, and continued to follow the darkness of the tree shade, quietly groping back to his yard.

After returning to the place he was familiar with, Chao Ci heaved a sigh of relief.Her mother made her nervous, and her brother made her afraid, and only her own small world could accommodate her emotions.

She sat alone with her knees hugged for a while, then got up and walked to the desk, pressed her slender fingers on the paperweight, spread out the white paper, and picked up a pen to write down some beautiful characters. The thin roll is done, put it aside, I feel a little tired.

The rain curtain is like a curtain, and the sound of pearls and jade echoes in vain; the fragrance of camellias is full, and the moon in the water only increases thinking.It's only due to Chengjun's paper umbrella, so I feel so much yearning.

On the second day of the Spring Festival, according to the customs of Fengyu City, it is a day for mountaineering, outing, and lighting of lanterns to make a wish.

Lu She and Meng Tingyi had already prepared their chariots and horses at home and waited for the rituals and injustices.

A group of people drove to Luping Mountain in the east of Fengyu City. This mountain is not tall, and the road for climbing is not bad. There are camellia trees and hydrangeas on both sides. The hydrangeas are beautiful in color and bloom very well.

The setting sun hangs, the dusk is over, and the rising crescent moon turns yellow and falls on the treetops.

There are lights hanging on both sides of the mountain road, and the lights are brilliant. There are many people who meet for an outing, and many young women go up together, shaking Luo fans and carrying sky lanterns.

"It's really lively." Zheli followed several people out of the car, and couldn't help looking at the fluorescent lights on the mountainside.

Lu She got out of the car right after her. Hearing Zheli's sigh, she said with a smile, "It's a beautiful spring day, and tonight is a good day for young masters and young ladies to make friends with each other, so it's very lively."

Since Meng Tingyi got out of the car, he looked around thoughtfully, Lu She stretched out his hand to pat him, and said in a low voice, "Don't look at it, all the invitations have been sent back. The He family has a very strict family style. The lady has a special status, she is different from ordinary people, so be at ease."

Meng Tingyi was slightly disappointed, sighed softly, followed Lu She to catch up with Feidao and Feidao, and climbed the mountain path together.

Playing along the way, when the crowd reached the middle of the mountain, Lu She led a few people to avoid the crowd and searched for a quiet path. Only then did they realize that there was no way out, and there was another village in the shadow of the willows, and at the end of the quiet path was Lu's family. Bieyuan occupies the middle of the mountain.

The wooden stack flower garden outside the courtyard is surrounded by a small two-story building with green bricks and green tiles, which is elegant and unique.The lights are bright inside, and the servants have been waiting for a long time.

The four climbed up to the second floor. The second floor is connected to the rocks of the back mountain.

Zheli was amazed by the wealth of the Lu family, he stroked his cup and asked with a smile: "Young master Lu doesn't look like a quiet person, but it's a good place for a golden house to hide your beauty."

Lu She shook her head and smiled wryly: "Brother Su, don't make fun of me, how dare Lu hide her beauty now."

Meng Tingyi laughed at him: "It's not just about being a jerk, it's also less about hunting and killing."

Lu She raised her fan and cupped her hands to Meng Tingyi: "What brother Meng said is true, younger brother must remember it."

Zheli nodded in agreement.

"By the way, two benefactors, a few days ago, I heard that this year's rice seedlings were all infected, and I heard that it was the work of evil spirits?" Meng Tingyi asked.

"It is indeed related to the evil, but it has been eliminated." Zheli replied.

Meng Tingyi frowned and sighed, and said softly: "I don't know why I always feel that the world is not peaceful this year, and something seems to be going wrong."

Zheli subconsciously looked at Feidao.

There was the sound of doors opening and conversations downstairs.

"Your Majesty's guest."

"Young master is on the second floor."

Meng Tingyi was a little puzzled, but Lu She was smiling all over her face, poked Meng Tingyi with her elbow, and raised her chin to signal him to go down to meet him.

Meng Tingyi seemed to be used to being ordered around by Lu She, he stood up and pointed at him, shook his head, and went downstairs helplessly.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw a tall woman with a white veiled hat and taupe skin standing at the door. She lowered her head slightly, and the house servant was helping her tie the veiled hat straps.

The veil came down, and Meng Tingyi's bright eyes met Meng Tingyi's eyes, she nodded gently and thanked her servants, and was about to enter the door, when she saw Meng Tingyi standing in front of her in a daze.

The four eyes met, the astonishment on Meng Tingyi's face was beyond words, he smiled unnaturally and walked up to Chao Ci, and cupped his hands to her: "Miss He..."

Chao Ci returned the salute, and looked up at him again, Meng Tingyi looked at him straightly, until he saw her showing a bit of shyness, Meng Tingyi came back to his senses, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry..."

He turned sideways, led Chaoci upstairs, and said in a low voice: "I...I thought...you won't come."

Chaoci tilted his head, blinked at him, and made a sly expression.

The two went upstairs, and after a few people greeted each other, they saw that the moon was in the middle of the sky, washing away all the lead, and covering the ground with hoarfrost.

After drinking tea, Meng Tingyi has never left her eyes since Chaoci arrived, and he is very skillful in serving tea and pouring water.

Lu She leaned against the back of the chair, held a cup of tea in front of her, and secretly smiled when she saw Meng Tingyi's foolishness.After laughing a few times, he probably felt that it was almost time, and while lamenting that the boy was not allowed to stay, he invited Zhe Li to move down the mountain path to release the sky lantern.

It was only then that Zheli realized that this trip was just a cover for the two of them, but Meng Tingyi and Chaoci were both talented and beautiful, and they matched well, and he was happy to go out with Lu She to join in the fun.

In the grassland on the mountain road, there are crowds of people gathered everywhere, paved with cloth, sitting on the ground, drinking and ordering, enjoying the moon and drinking tea, it is very lively.

Lu She quickly led the two of them into the circle of acquaintances, and there were many young ladies from various families among them, who were very interested in injustice and rituals.

Especially Zheli, who was handsome, young and able to talk, quickly captured the hearts of many girls.

It's not that Dao doesn't like excitement, and he doesn't like getting along with strangers. Seeing that Zheli and Lu She were having fun, he went to the mountain road alone.

A little girl named Bai shyly invited Zheli to release the sky lantern.

"Master Su, Sister Bai has invited you, so you can no longer accompany others to put on lanterns tonight!" an older sister joked.

"What kind of rule is this?" Lu She knew that she was deceiving Zheli, who was ignorant of the world, and teased, "It also depends on the choice of Brother Su, doesn't it?"

Zheli was a bit restrained, he thought of the kite that Jinhe Junior Sister gave him when he was in Qingwu, and asked Lu She in a low voice what the meaning of putting out the lantern was, and when he got the answer, Zheli repeatedly apologized to the white girl, saying that he could not go with her Light up.

"Ouch," the elder sister sighed regretfully after taking Miss Bai by the arm, "it seems that Mr. Su probably already has a candidate in his heart."

Lu She also showed a gossip look: "Brother Su, you really hide it so deeply."

Zhe Li hurriedly waved his hands, and couldn't help blushing.

Seeing him like this, everyone laughed at him. The older sister took a sky lantern and handed it to Zheli: "In that case, why don't you ask her to put the lantern on?"

Zheli originally refused to accept it, but after pushing and pushing, he couldn't refuse, so he took the lamp.

Looking back, Feidao no longer knows where to go.He got up quickly, and said to Lu She: "I'll go find Mr. Xiao, and go first."

After saying goodbye to everyone, he chased after the mountain road.

Away from the crowd, but at ease, Fei Dao walked freely on the mountain road, watching one after another sky lanterns rising into the air, drifting away and turning into stars.

The night breeze is gentle, bringing the fragrance of camellias, hibiscus and roses growing on the rocks, and various unknown wildflowers all over the ground, swaying in the bright moonlight.

Zheli hugged the sky lantern and saw Feidao's back from a distance. He wanted to go there, but he looked down at the sky lantern in his arms.

"master."

There was a voice of Zheli from behind, Feidao turned around and saw him coming with a sky lantern: "Why did you leave alone, let me find it easier."

Feidao didn't speak, just smiled, his eyes followed him to the front of him.
