My lord, I will be brought to justice!

Since ancient times, people have been in awe of the heaven and the earth, following the customs that have been handed down, worshiping the sun at the vernal equinox, worshiping the earth at the summer solstice, worshiping the moon at the autumnal equinox, and worshiping the sky at the winter solstice.Speaking of offering sacrifices to the moon at the autumnal equinox, it is also the most well-known Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the eve of the eve of the moon, it is golden autumn.Every household buys new wine, spends flowers on painting poles, and makes the drunken fairy Jinxi.The inside and outside are newly decorated, all are hung with colorful lights, the pavilions are singing and dancing, and the silk, bamboo and shengyu are played.The moonlight is bright, look at the brightness of the moon, hear the sound beyond the clouds, taste the fresh fruits of the season, and enjoy the brilliant lights.

Following Mu Aichen's gaze, Chu Tiankuo slowly raised his head.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon is like a plate.Although in modern times, various customs have been downplayed, looking forward to the holiday has become the greatest joy in the festival.But thinking of the reunion, Chu Tiankuo still has a feeling of homesickness that cannot go away.I have been here for a long time... "I can't go back after thinking so much, let's talk about it after finding the jade pendant." Chu Tiankuo comforted himself, "Since we are here, why not see how the Mid-Autumn Festival is going in Jingshui Kingdom?"

Along the way, the two stopped and walked.It may be that Chu Tiankuo is very curious, and he is attracted to rare things when he sees them.Mu Aichen was not in a hurry, and let him choose from left to right.There are so many interesting things in the market, and I have never noticed it before.

Beichen and the others had already arrived at Tianlan Pavilion and waited for a long time in front of the mansion.Gu Lan was directly sent back to the General's Mansion by Beichen. Without Gu Lan by his side, he immediately felt much cleaner.Qingfeng Qingyang looked up at the majestic Tianlan Pavilion and the bustling avenue, all filled with yearning. "What a magnificent house!" Qing Yang touched the door with his small hand, chatting with the guard from time to time.

"The pavilion master and Mu Aichen have been away for so long, why haven't they returned yet?" Bei Chen couldn't help but worry, maybe the two of them got lost?

"No, I'm going to look for the pavilion master." The figure of the pavilion master was nowhere to be found among the people walking up and down the street.Beichen was very anxious, seeing that it was already noon, if something happened to the pavilion master, he would not be able to explain to the emperor with ten heads.Beichen raised his sword and was about to leave the mansion when two figures appeared vaguely in front of him.Bei Chen took a closer look and saw that it was the pavilion master and Chu Tiankuo, walking towards the mansion talking and laughing.Seeing this, Bei Chen realized that his worries were obviously unnecessary.

"Hi! Little brother Beichen, Qingfeng and Qingyang, you are so fast!" Chu Tiankuo saw the three people waiting in front of the mansion from a long distance, and greeted them with his hand.Qing Yang saw Chu Tiankuo appearing and ran towards him. "Hey, Qingyang, have you gained weight recently? I can hardly hold her anymore."

Qing Yang put his arms around Chu Tiankuo's neck, pointed to Tianlan Pavilion and said: "Brother Kuo, Qing Yang likes this place and wants to live here."

"Haha! Little guy, you are quite smart. But if you want to live here, you have to ask him if he agrees." Chu Tiankuo looked at Mu Aichen, and Qing Yang said, "Wherever Brother Kuo lives, Qing Yang will live. The mask Brother, is Qing Yang right?"

Even though Qing Yang is a child, it can be seen that he has his arms around Chu Tiankuo's neck and is so close to him, jealousy can't help but appear in his heart. "Beichen, first bring Qingfeng and Qingyang into the mansion, and prepare a room for him." Then he said to Qingyang: "Qingyang, come down. Follow Beichen to choose a place to live."

"Okay." Qing Yang let go of his arms around his neck, he just wanted to find out what Mu Aichen was thinking in the mansion.Running and bumping, he followed his brother into the mansion.

When Chu Tiankuo wanted to leave Tianlan Pavilion before, he couldn't help chuckling.I didn't expect to be able to come back, it's really unpredictable, and my fate with Mu Aichen is also amazing...

"Ah Kuo, let's go in too!" Just now, all the figures in front of the gate of Tianlan Pavilion entered the mansion, leaving only a few yellow leaves falling with the wind.

When the servants of Tianlan Pavilion heard the news of the pavilion master's return, they cheered up a bit.It appeared that both men leaned over to say hello.Mu Aichen still kept a cold face, staring straight ahead.Chu Tiankuo saw several familiar maidservants and greeted each other, "Hi! Long time no see..."

Compared with before, Tianlan Pavilion has not changed much except that it is a little more autumnal.Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the mansion is still so deserted, with no sense of festivities.Just because Mu Aichen likes to be clean and pure, and sees very little things like that, the servants didn't dare to talk about it.They all knew that Mu Aichen had always had a serious obsession with cleanliness, and cleaned the house every day, leaving it spotless.

Chu Tiankuo still lives in the room next to Mu Aichen.When he opened the door and entered, it was not as dusty as he imagined. On the contrary, the layout was the same as when he left, and it was even neater than before.Chu Tiankuo put down the package he was carrying and asked the maid for bath water.After several days of running around, I was exhausted.Taking a relaxing bath, the coolness on Chu Tiankuo's body gradually dissipated, and every cell in his body stretched out... He lay comfortably in the bathtub, and unconsciously closed his eyes.In the rising mist, the whole body relaxes.

Chu Tiankuo got up and left when the mist in the bath water faded away and his skin felt the chill.He dried himself off and changed into a set of clean clothes.The face was blurred and hazy reflected in the bronze mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror and scratched at his messy hair before realizing that it was time to cut it.

The broken hair on the forehead retains a slightly curled arc, which is allowed to scatter on both sides.The hair is slightly curly and light brown.Fortunately, Chu Tiankuo tied his hair high into a ponytail, adding a bit of liveliness and playfulness.

On the one hand, I no longer need to be misunderstood as a monk who has just returned to vulgarity. On the other hand, I don’t know how to cut my hair. Whether my hair is long or short is really uncomfortable.Chu Tiankuo, who was very satisfied with his new look, kept changing his posture, looked at himself in the mirror and said, "Still so handsome." He couldn't wait to show Mu Aichen.

"Xiao Mumu" Chu Tiankuo knocked on the door and entered, while Mu Aichen was writing something foreshadowing.Apparently he had just finished taking a bath, and his black hair was untied and scattered randomly on the white clothes.He raised his head and saw Chu Tiankuo coming in, "Ah Kuo, your hair...beautiful."

Chu Tiankuo raised his head triumphantly, flirting with the broken hair on both sides. "Master, I am so handsome that I can hold any shape."

Although Mu Aichen didn't fully understand what Chu Tiankuo meant, because he always said some obscure words, he was used to it.From his expression, it can be seen that Ah Kuo is showing off his hair, Mu Aichen couldn't help smiling.This smile, like a face, was so charming that Chu Tiankuo panicked a little.

He turned his eyes away, rubbed his hands and asked, "Xiao Mumu, don't you need to report to the emperor or something when you come back?"

"No need. The matter of Yanzhou City has been passed down by spies for a long time, so there is no need for me to face it in person. There is a dinner in the palace tonight, and the important officials of the court are gathered, so there is no time to take care of this matter."

"Dinner? Xiaomumu, you want to go too?" The royal banquet must be very luxurious.Good wine, delicious food, beautiful scenery, so happy!

"I won't go." Mu Aichen didn't even lift his eyelids when he said this.His tone was cold, and the matter of the dinner party had nothing to do with him.

Chu Tiankuo sat down on the desk, his legs crossed in front of him casually.He picked up a brush and played with it in his hand.Mu Aichen shook the hand holding the pen a few times, and a long drawing mark appeared on the rice paper.The paper was discarded, Mu Aichen was not angry, fortunately he put down the brush and stopped what he was doing. "Xiao Mumu, I really don't know how you became an official. You don't know how to curry favor with your boss, and you don't know how to get close to your colleagues. It's not easy for a person like you to survive in the workplace." Chu Tiankuo shook his head, not knowing at all The troubles I caused to Mu Aichen, I still talk about myself.

"It's got character, though. I like it!"

"I like it..." Mu Aichen was overjoyed when he heard that Ah Kuo liked him.

Chu Tiankuo straightened his legs and got down from the desk.Walking to Mu Aichen's side, he shouted in an extremely ambiguous tone: "Xiao Mumu..."

"What's the matter, Ah Kuo?"

"It's just..." Chu Tiankuo stretched out his two index fingers, and the fingertips touched each other.She lowered her head and said embarrassingly: "Xiao Mumu, let's go on a date tonight. No, let's go to the street to watch the lanterns and admire the moon, okay?"

"Okay. Ah Kuo likes to look at the lanterns and admire the moon, so I will go with you." Mu Aichen suppressed the excitement in his heart. He never liked to go to crowded places, but his dislikes were compared to Ah Kuo's. nothing.

Chu Tiankuo clapped his hands, "Okay, let's make an appointment tonight!" After speaking, he winked at him and walked out of the house.

Even though Mu Aichen didn't pay attention to the rituals and customs of the festival, the servants still prepared mooncakes.Although the ancient moon cakes were not as varied as the modern ones, they still had a different flavor.Chu Tiankuo picked up the small piece, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

It looked like it was a crispy mooncake, and Chu Tiankuo looked at the fillings inside.The melon seeds, walnuts, pine nuts and rock sugar should be lard...sweet but not greasy, with different and unique flavors.Even Qingfeng Qingyang thought it was delicious, Chu Tiankuo reminded, "Don't eat too much, it's not easy to digest." Qingfeng Qingyang put down the hand holding the mooncake, picked up other food with chopsticks, and kept his mouth open. stopped.

Seeing the two children devouring their meals, Bei Chen couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Young Master Chu, what do you usually feed them? How could they be so hungry?"

"Meat buns." Chu Tiankuo asked while biting an apple, "Brother Beichen, do you want to eat too?"

Beichen gave him a disgusted look, turned his face to another place, and ignored him.

The moon hanging high in the sky at this moment is a full moon that Chu Tiankuo has never seen in his life.The shadows in the moon are faintly visible, as if there are really osmanthus trees and Chang'e on the moon.Transparent and bright, under the decoration of clouds and stars, it exudes the brilliance of glass.

After they finished their dinner, Mu Aichen handed over Qingfeng and Qingyang to Beichen to take care of them.Divide into two groups and set off separately.Beichen was unwilling to take care of the children at first, but his pavilion master told him in the original words, "If you don't want to be with Qingfeng and Qingyang, why don't I bring Miss Gulan here. What do you think?"

Without even thinking about it, Bei Chen took Qing Feng and Qing Yang with him and disappeared from the sight of the two of them...

The lights and candles are brilliant, and the competition ends at night.The people who come and go are whirling in the city, and there is no end to dawn.Chu Tiankuo tugged on Mu Aichen's sleeve, and shuttled back and forth on the street, "Haha! Xiaomumu, let's go over there and have a look."
