What are you making a fuss about?

Chen Xian, Master Chen.He was a serious old gentleman who had helped him a lot in the past, and several of his disciples were his students.His daughter must also be a very virtuous person.

"To tell you the truth, the first good thing to happen is the queen. When I returned to the palace yesterday, the imperial doctor said that the queen is three months pregnant. Just wait until the first month of the next year, and my first child will be born. Next year's full moon wine Xiu Ming will be happy." Be sure to come," Jing Hui said proudly, and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

"Congratulate Brother Huang in advance." Jing Yun staggered his hands and only looked at the paintings on the table.

When the window is opened, there is a curtain of breeze, and the sound of rain outside the window gradually decreases.Jing Hui asked the little eunuch to bring a chessboard, and removed the calligraphy and painting, and the two sat opposite each other.The content of the conversation was not as sharp as it was outside the palace.Most of the time it was Jing Hui who spoke, and Jing Yun occasionally responded with a few words.Since he was a child, Jing Hui had been at odds with him, and his words were not speculative and his temperament was not compatible. He never thought that he and Jing Hui could be so friendly before.

"Does Xiu Ming still have contact with Jing Zhao?"

"not much."

"If it's convenient, how about bringing this inkstone to him when we return to the city?" Jing Hui moved the inkstone engraved with "Fish Playing with Lotus Leaves" to Jing Yun's eyes. After a few glances, he asked me to ask for it first, but he forgot to take it when he left. I also forgot in a hurry, and the eunuch took it away a few days ago before I remembered it, now Xiuming should take it with me."

"Why don't your majesty send it directly to his Qianshu Pavilion." Jing Yun slowly played a chess piece, Xie Yushen's sister?Xie Qingjia, that's not my sister.He thought about it leisurely, and said again: "I'm not on my way."

Jing Hui smiled, "It's not that easy to give it to him. As far as I know, he's not in Qingjiang Town now. If he's not here, no one will accept the things he sent over."

Jing Yun only knew that Jing Zhao's Qianshu Pavilion was built strangely, but he didn't know that even the rules in the pavilion were so complicated, it was not as convenient as Xuanming Villa.

"Where is he now?" he asked, why did he find him.

Jing Hui stopped playing chess, and said word by word: "Sun Moon County."

Sun Moon County.

"Unfortunately, Riyue County is closed now, even if he goes, he won't be able to get in." Jing Hui sighed, "If you happen to meet him..."

"It will be opened immediately."

"Does Xiu Ming really believe in Xie Yushen?" Jing Hui couldn't help asking.Jing Yun flicked his wrist, and a piece of chess fell from his fingertips. The chess was off by a few points, messing up the game.

The emperor said again: "He is clearly just using you."

Believe it or not?Believe it or not?Where is the solution?It's just like this chess game, which was supposed to go back and forth in a regular manner, but all of a sudden it fell crookedly.All previous calculations and plans have been disrupted, no matter how good things were in the past, everything has to be overthrown and started again.Xie Yushen was the crooked chess piece on his fate board, which suddenly fell down and moved his whole body. After that, all kinds of things happened because of him, and they also perished with him, but they couldn't do without him anymore.

"That's the fate." Jing Yun replied in a low voice, still staring at the chessboard.

He is the only variable in my life, and he is also the scenery that I can't take my eyes off when I met him when I was young.

"When did Xiu Ming become a person who believes in destiny?" Jing Hui snorted inexplicably, and stood up again, "Now I'm going to the Queen's Palace, can Xiu Ming come with me?"

"No need, my brother will leave."

Courtier——

Jing Hui was stunned, staring blankly at Jing Yun's figure slowly retreating after making a bow, he just called himself "Chendi".Jing Yun, Jing Xiuming, this proud and well-known person who grew up in a pile of gold and jade, now bows his head in front of him and proclaims himself a minister. He said "my brother resigns", is it really... a write-off.

……

The next morning, the sky was still light.Jing Yun's carriage came out of Zhenghua Gate early, and just after leaving the imperial city, shadow guards followed.Jing Yun recognized him, he was the one who used to stare at him in Xuanming Villa.This man had a bean-sized mole on the tiger's mouth on his right hand. I heard from Xie Yushen that he was a good swordsman, but he couldn't use hidden weapons. It would be fine to protect him to the capital, but it would be no good if he went to another sect.

After leaving the city gate, the shadow guard changed his driver, took advantage of the emperor's shadow guard not paying attention, hijacked the car and walked around the path.

I also heard from the shadow guard that the path does not need to go around the mountain, which can save nearly three days' journey, and you can go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He didn't know what he was thinking, since he left Beijing, the memory of Xie Yushen was like a late-night snack, and he didn't feel tired after a three- or four-day drive.

It rained all day on the road, and it was already evening when we arrived at Riyue County.Jing Yun half leaned against the window sill, even the blood scorpion was sick.

The foot of Diancang Mountain is very lively. The custom of celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival here is different from that of most people. Instead of watching the moon at home, people all come to the street.This is the first festive festival after the ghost month. People want to take this opportunity to get rid of evil spirits, so this festival is celebrated seriously and solemnly, not inferior to the Spring Festival at all.

In Riyue County, there is no curfew on August [-]th, and all shops and inns are open to display delicious and interesting things.Children can eat whatever they want, and go to whichever restaurant they want to eat.The adults also steal half a day of leisure, or listen to books and drink tea or play cards and drink, which is very lively for a while.

In the past, the more lively the mountain was, the more deserted Xuanming Villa would be.First, Xie Yushen would let the servants and maids who could go home go back to celebrate the festival, and the number of people was reduced by half. Second, there are thousands of insects worshiping the moon in the fifteenth ghost building every month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is the same.This Gu is different every year, Xie Yushen guards in the ghost building, and the two of them stay together every year.From a distance, I can only see the bright lights at the foot of the mountain, and beautiful moon cake fireworks in the night sky.

Today was a coincidence, and I was fortunate to be able to see the grand scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Riyue County.

"Oh, my lord, come, come, come, my mooncakes are the best in Riyue County, come and try a piece." A short, fat, but neatly dressed middle-aged woman waved to him and held him Take it to the crowd.

A large table was set up by the roadside, decorated with red silk, and several warm yellow moon lanterns were hung on the corners of the table, and many people surrounded it.There were six full moon cake craftsmen standing in a row.There is a wooden sign hanging on the table in front of each chef, which is the famous pastry workshop in Riyue County.

Jing Yun saw that one of them had a sign of "Xiuyuefang". He had eaten pastries from this workshop, which were similar in style and taste to the Babao Pavilion in the capital. The most bought ones in Xuanming Villa were also from this one.It seems that the master here once stole the master in the capital, and even the sesame seeds sprinkled in the Hehuan egg yolk cakes chose the same Qiaoshui sesame seeds as Babao Pavilion.The entrance is a bit astringent, and those who are used to eating it say it is ingenious, but those who are not used to it like him feel that it is unnecessary.

There was also a row of people sitting on the left hand side of the table, including Yuanwailang in sapphire blue costumes and a big boss in rough and short brown clothes.For a moment he couldn't see what it was doing.

"Oh, the one sitting on top is for tasting, and the card is for scoring." The woman pointed it out to him, and sure enough there was a wooden box on each table.

Seeing his blank face again, she explained in a loud voice: "Young Master, you are a foreigner? Hey, hey, this is comparing moon cakes." She grinned and said, "This is standing on the stage The six of them are the best mooncake makers in Riyue County."

"It took a year for them to come up with the mooncake recipe, which has never been done before. Whoever wins will be the mooncake champion, and his mooncakes will be the best sellers, and they will be released after the 'release'. Special moon cake fireworks." She pointed to one of them, "Look at that, that is the moon cake champion selected last year..." Speaking of this, the woman showed a shy look of a girl, rubbed her hands and smiled: "Yes My guy."

Jing Yun followed her fingers and saw that he was a middle-aged man with a clean, capable and serious expression. Looking at him through the light of the lantern, he looked like a husband and wife.

The woman took out two mooncakes from the cloth bag and said in a low voice, "My lord, this is a new Liuxin mooncake made by my family this year. If you think it's delicious, remember to vote for me tomorrow." She blinked her eyes , stuffed the pastry sealed in wax paper into his hand.

So it was to solicit votes?Jing Yun looked at the two mooncakes in his hand and was dumbfounded.At this time, there was a burst of firecrackers in front of the stage, and the woman screamed and rushed to the front of the crowd excitedly.A young servant struck a gong, and the noise gradually died away.The young man cleared his throat and said, "Reunion in March and May..."

The crowd was restless, and then his ears were full of noisy voices, and he couldn't hear anything else clearly.In the crowd, the shadow guard grabbed his arm and dragged him out, and let go of his hand when the crowd thinned out.He clasped his fists and said "Excuse me".

Jing Yun waved his hands, lowered his head halfway to straighten his loose clothes, and said, "Go back to Xuanming Villa." He still couldn't adapt to such a lively scene.

The mountains became quieter, the wind rustled the bamboo groves, and the moon was already clearly visible.There are a few clouds gathered in front of the moon, making people look hazy.

The soft moonlight leaked from the edge of the clouds, and a few small shallow pools fell in the light, shining clearly.The stone steps seem to be endless, and after walking for a long time, I still can't see the eaves of Xuanming Villa.Sweat broke out on Jing Yun's forehead, and his heart jumped with joy.

The peacock-blue corrugated tiles of Xuanming Villa shone brightly under the light and shallow moon, suddenly looking like a fairy palace.The gate was only opened a thin crack, and Qianqian lanterns were hung on the door, emitting a soft and warm light.It's not as lively as the mountain, but it has a soothing warmth. This is what the world should be like, but it's a little more real than the hustle and bustle.

Pushing open the door, the scenery inside has not changed, there is no one in the corridor, and the Weijin Palace stands far away in the courtyard.Arborvitae were planted in the courtyard, and the small off-white flowers had already fallen, and the branches and leaves were soaked in the night dew, and they were so spirited that they were about to drop green.

The ears are full of chirping insects,
