Kneel down and beg to return to the field

The Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing is always lively.Drinking wine to enjoy the moon, the emperor's Mid-Autumn Festival feast for courtiers in the palace, night tour with lanterns, and folk lantern festivals held by the people themselves, no matter where it is, this night will never be lonely.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace is a long-standing custom in this dynasty, and all officials above the third rank can bring their family members to participate.Firstly, it was the emperor's means to win over the courtiers, and secondly, it was also a great opportunity for the children of each family to show their faces in front of everyone, especially the emperor, so the palace was always lively on this day.

Although Wei Lai has been promoted, he is only a fourth-rank official, so naturally she does not have a part in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.He Shangshu has a high position and authority, but his sons have all left the capital, and his daughter doesn't intend to join in the fun, so this year he only took his wife to the palace.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace started, there was already a lot of excitement outside the palace walls.When it was just dark, there were children playing outside with small lamps made by themselves. Later, both sides of the street were occupied by lamp sellers.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is not like the Lantern Festival. Although it is also a festival that cannot be ignored, and it is also a day for viewing lanterns on the fifteenth day, the government will not hold a lantern festival on this night.The lantern festival tonight is all spontaneously held by the common people. Although the lanterns on the side of the road are not as exquisite as those produced by the government during the Lantern Festival, they also have a special flavor.

He Zhi was wearing a long plain dress, walking slowly on the bustling streets in the south of the city.Xi Qiu, who was following beside him, hadn't walked for long before he was attracted by an old woman's lantern on the side of the road. After a while, he had a rabbit lantern in his hand.

"Miss, I think the master is right. You should come out and walk around more. The Mid-Autumn Festival night market is really lively. If you are still bored at home like in previous years, it will be boring." Xi Qiu is obviously in a good mood tonight. Looking left and right, he said to He Zhi with a smile.

He Zhisu has a quiet temperament in daily life, and she seldom joins in this kind of excitement, especially after her reputation is ruined, she becomes even more impatient to come out and face other people's pointing fingers.Speaking of it, it was many years ago that she went out to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After listening to her father's advice today, it was a rare trip, and she was in a good mood.

"There are a lot of people tonight, so be careful not to get lost." He Zhi had a slight smile on her face, her beautiful eyes swept across the beautiful lanterns on the street, but she didn't answer Xi Qiu's words, she just spoke lightly. gave an order.

"My miss, it's rare to come out to play, so don't be so restrained." Xi Qiu has been with He Zhi for not a year or two, and the relationship between master and servant has always been good, but at this time there is nothing Pouting his mouth apprehensively expressed his dissatisfaction.After he finished speaking, his eyes swept away, but he seemed to have noticed something, and he ran over with He Zhi: "Miss, there is a seller of candied haws over there, I haven't eaten it for many years..."

Candied haws are basically snacks on the street, and children have almost never tasted them.However, He Zhi was an exception. She had strict family education since she was a child. Except for the food at home, she had almost never eaten anything outside. She had never even seen this kind of snacks sold by street vendors.

Naturally, Xi Qiu is different from He Zhi. Although she was sold into the He Mansion as a maid since she was a child, she still tasted this kind of snacks.It's just that my family was poor when I was a child, and I didn't eat it a few times, so I exaggerated the deliciousness of this food countless times in my memory.Up to now, even though she has tasted delicacies from mountains and seas with He Zhi, her childhood obsession still makes her salivate at the bright red candied haws.

It was rare to be unrestrained tonight, and only the master and servant were there, so Xi Qiu no longer hid his temper, and happily dragged He Zhi to the candied haws vendor, raised his hand and said, "Brother, Give me two bunches of candied haws."

The little brother who sells candied haws just passed a bunch of candied haws to a seven or eight-year-old child. When he looked up and saw two beautiful girls, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic. He took off two strings of candied haws and handed them to Xi Qiu: "Girl, here, the candied haws you want."

Xi Qiu happily took it, paid again, and handed over a bunch to He Zhi: "Miss, try it, it's delicious."

"..." He Zhi looked at the candied haws handed in front of him, always feeling at a loss whether to accept it or not to accept it.She saw a few children passing by eating candied haws just now, and they seemed to be no older than ten years old. Now she is asked to walk and eat these candied haws like those children. She really feels that the picture cannot be looked at directly. .

"Oh, miss, you can just take it. Candied haws are just a lot of people eat them. It won't be a problem if you try them." Seeing He Zhi staring at the candied haws in her hand, Xi Qiu refused to pick them up. Time was a little anxious, so he stuffed the candied haws in his hand.Then, as if to prove that the candied haws were all right, he turned his head and took a bite of his bunch.

He Zhi held up the candied haws helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.She really doesn't dare to eat these street foods, but compared to that, she cares more about whether anyone has seen the silly look of her holding the candied haws at the moment? !If this is spread again, will she still have the face to face others?

Thinking of this, He Zhi couldn't help turning her head to look around, fearing that someone who knew her would bump into her, and it would be really embarrassing.Unexpectedly, after seeing this, she really saw someone she knew——at the diagonally opposite street corner, Wei Lai appeared in her line of sight with a small jug, but this is not the point, the point is General Wei and her Look here...

At that moment, He Zhi almost had the urge to immediately throw away the bunch of candied haws in her hand.But the candied haws in her hand was also Xi Qiu's wish. Her upbringing made her unable to do such a thing, so she could only stand there awkwardly.

After a while, He Zhi realized that something was wrong.General Xiao Wei on the opposite side did indeed look over, but instead of looking at her, he looked behind her.

He Zhi turned her head subconsciously, and found a person standing where Wei Lai's eyes fell—the little brother selling candied haws.Or to be more precise, what Wei Lai was looking at was the candied haws that the little brother was holding in his hand...

Seemingly unconscious, Wei Lai walked over.She still didn't look at He Zhi, and her gaze was still on the candied haws in the little brother's hand, but if you took a closer look, you would find that her gaze was pensive, not as if she was greedy and wanted to eat, but rather Like remembering something.

He Zhi has always been smart, so after thinking about it, he also guessed something.She put away the embarrassment all over her face, looked down at the candied haws in her hand, and suddenly stretched out her hand to Wei Lai who was already approaching: "Little General Wei, please eat."

Wei Lai, who was distracted, was taken aback by the candied haws that suddenly appeared from the ground, and resisted not taking a step back to show his guard.When she looked up, what she saw was a generous smiling face, and those beautiful eyes that once made her lose her mind...

There was a smile in the ray-gathering eyes, which were still so beautiful that people couldn't help but lose their minds.Wei Lai obviously reacted two beats later than usual, and then took a step back without any trace, and called out with downcast eyes: "Miss He."

He Zhi was still holding the candied haws that did not match her image of a lady, and there was a slight smile in her gentle tone: "Just now I saw General Xiao Wei coming from the opposite side, but unfortunately he didn't see me, only this candied haws. Since you like it, I will give it to you to eat."

After all, Wei Lai couldn't help looking up after hearing the words, not at the candied haws, but at He Zhi.It's just that when she met the smiling eyes, her face turned red with a "shua".For a moment, I didn't know what to say, so I could only say: "No, Miss He, you misunderstood, I didn't..."

He Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at Wei Lai with a smile on his face.What she said just now was naturally meant as a joke, although she seldom joked with others, and she didn't know why she suddenly said such words to Wei Li.But looking at Wei Lai's shy, awkward and bewildered look at this moment, he found it surprisingly interesting.

The author has something to say: There is a feeling that General Wei has been molested...
