sun and moon return

The lengthy sacrificial ceremony finally came to an end after the village head lit the long lantern in front of the statue of the witch in the ancestral hall: "Hundreds of harvest years have passed in Fengyu City so far. Good weather and good harvests.”

The village chief opened his arms and bowed in the direction of the He family. All the villagers saluted in the direction of the He family.

Mrs. He is very satisfied to enjoy the honor of being above ten thousand people. Even the Meng family, who have studied for three generations, cannot enjoy such a status.

After the sacrifice, it was getting late, the streets were crowded with people, and there were more and more vendors, and later on it would be the night market.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Su." As soon as Zheli and Zheli got up together, they heard someone calling. They followed the sound and saw that it was Lu She who had just come out.

Meng Tingyi went up to meet him and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother She, you are late today."

Lu She smiled at him: "It's not easy to go out." He turned his head away as he said that, Master Lu and Mrs. Lu also came this way, and when they saw Feidao and Zheli, they bowed their hands to them.

Zheli and Zheli returned the gift, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, Zheli turned his head, Wan Xiang looked at him with a half-smile, and there was Mrs. He who looked worried beside her, but Chaoci was nowhere to be seen.

While several forces were greeting each other politely, Meng Tingyi's father also came over, and for a while, several giants in Fengyu City gathered beside Feidao.

"Mr. Xiao and Mr. Su are really handsome, young and promising," Meng Tingyi's mother is a very well-educated, beautiful woman with an orchid temperament, and the dimples on her cheeks are more kind, she asked with a smile, "I don't know if the two were ever married?"

Zheli stood in the middle of the crowd rather uncomfortably, feeling naked and being scorched by the gazes from all around him, feeling uncomfortable all over, and was about to speak, but he heard Feidao reply: "People who practice Taoism have always had shallow marriages, and never Considering marriage."

Meng Tingyi's mother felt sorry for her, but she didn't say anything else, but Lu She saw that Zheli and Zheli were uncomfortable, coughed twice and said: "Didn't the elders make an appointment to have wine and tea in Xingyuan? Why don't we Juniors go shopping by yourself? Just take Mr. Xiao and Mr. Su around."

"Since she is She'er's benefactor, of course he should also be our guest," Mrs. Lu looked at Lu She disapprovingly, "How can you neglect him, can you two honor me and go to the banquet together?"

"The two of you are guests of Lu's house, and you shouldn't be negligent," Mrs. He glanced at Zheli, "We still have a lot of business to discuss today, so it would be inappropriate to ignore you two."

The implication is, please go back to your own home to invite your guests. Today we have to talk about business, so it is not convenient to take it with you.

"Madam He is right. After a few days, Brother She will invite Mr. Xiao and Mr. Su to the banquet. Today, let us accompany you." Meng Tingyi also took the words, and then led the two out The encircling circle, while saying goodbye, followed Lu She and led the two of them away.

Sending away Zheli and Feidao, Wan Xiang also bid farewell and left, the three families got into their carriages and followed each other.

After leaving the elders, Lu She let out a long sigh, pulled Meng Tingyi and said to Zheli and the two of them: "We are the only ones left now, we want to eat, buy, play and play, you two, please don't be polite."

"Young Master Lu, you are being polite." Zheli replied.

"Mr. Su is more polite. If you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Lu. You should be younger than me in terms of age. Mr. Xiao seems to be older than me." Lu She glanced at the sky, "How about we find a place to have a drink or two?"

"That's right, making friends starts with offering sacrifices to the Wu Zang Temple, let's go." Meng Tingyi echoed.

Zheli looked at Feidao with a questioning expression.

"The two sincerely invite you, thank you very much, we will not be polite."

In this way, a group of four entered a restaurant.

The four of them sat down. During the conversation, Lu and Meng learned that Zheli was only sixteen years old. They couldn't help but lament that he had traveled all over the world at a young age. Masters of etiquette should at least come from the same school.

During the conversation, Lu She talked about the old story of the fox demon again, and in his words, he regretted killing her kind at that time and causing such a disaster.

The meal was on the table, and the four of them were pushing glasses for a change, when suddenly it rained heavily outside the window.

Lu She said: "The weather is hot and muggy today, just now I feel that the sky is getting darker than usual, it really is a sign of heavy rain."

"However, it is estimated that after two more games, it will really be summer. The flowers on the mountain will bloom more prosperously after the rain." Meng Tingyi sat by the window, and some raindrops inevitably splashed down. He was getting up to prepare Changed the place, but was suddenly attracted by the bright colors downstairs.

The woman was dressed in lotus root powder, standing under the eaves across the street, stretching out her hand towards the rain curtain, showing a faint smile.

There are many busy vendors packing up their things. Among all the movements, there is only the silence, like a lotus in the rain, quiet and peaceful, beautiful and moving.The lights of the restaurant under the eaves illuminate her eyes, which are as deep as the night sky. Under the veil, what kind of stunning beauty should it be...

"Tingyi, what's wrong?" Lu She couldn't help being surprised to see Meng Tingyi standing in front of the window as if she had lost her soul, letting the splashing raindrops wet her forehead and hair.

Meng Tingyi came back to his senses, but hurried downstairs.

Seeing him rushing into the rain curtain, the waiter at the wine shop hurriedly handed him an umbrella. Meng Tingyi grabbed the umbrella and walked across the long street in three steps and two steps. There was no shadow of Yiren in the rain curtain, and she fell to the ground. It bloomed like raindrops, and then disappeared.

Lu She stood at the window of the opposite restaurant and waved to him: "Ting Yi, it's raining so hard, where are you going!"

Meng Tingyi seemed to have never heard of it, and chased after the lotus root pink clothes that disappeared around the corner.

Seeing the waiter close the window, Lu She patted the moisture on her body with a gloomy expression, and complained to herself: "He's such a meek person on weekdays, I don't know who he met today..."

Zheli could see clearly from the window sill, and he recognized that it was the current witch of the He family, Chaoci.

Adhering to the principle of not commenting on private matters, Zheli did not tell Lu She that Meng Tingyi was chasing Chaoci.

It was not easy for her mother to go out, and Chaoci naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, so she immediately threw away the maid, changed into an ordinary skirt, put on a veil and went out.

The Spring Festival is approaching the Qingming Festival, and the streets are very lively, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily. It doesn't matter if it rains, everything grows, and there is no need for this timely rain.

The sound of rain fell on my ears, covering up the turmoil of the world, but it had to be considered a good thing.

Chaoci walked aimlessly along the eaves of the long street.

This street is unfamiliar and familiar to her. She wants to find a shelter from the rain and wait for the heavy rain to pass.

The rain wetted her skirt and dipped into the soles of her shoes, and that didn't matter, it didn't matter whether it was the water splashing on the bluestone road, the bead curtains hanging on the eaves, the gradually flourishing greenery, or the red falling all over the floor. Well, in her eyes, they are all beautiful.

There is a hundred-year-old camellia tree on the corner of the street, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the fragrance settles at the bottom of the tree with the heavy rain. The flowers shaken by the wind and rain are spread all over the ground, and follow the clean and wet bluestone slabs, as if there are no drops. With a tick-tock sigh, the dark fragrance was sent to an unknown distance with the flowing water.

Chao Ci stood under the tree, with a happy smile that others could not understand, quietly listening to the wind and flowers.

Two or three drops of rain fell into her hair through the dense tree trunks. Just as she reached out to touch it, a simple paper umbrella came into her eyes, covering a small part of her upward sight.

Chaoci turned around in a panic and confusion, his eyes followed the umbrella, fell on the slender hand on the handle, and then fell on the young man with a bookish and silly look.

It's him.

It was the man who didn't dare to look directly at him, but still secretly looked at him.

The cute lying silkworm in her eyes slowly became apparent, and a smile spread from the corner of Chaoci's eyes. She turned around and looked at Meng Tingyi. Meng Tingyi's eyes really dodged and floated on her hair, slightly The flushed cheeks starting from the earlobe, and the obviously restrained breathing all told the nervousness of the person in front of him.

Chaoci just laughed, she didn't speak.

Meng Tingyi clenched the umbrella tightly in his hand, summoned up his courage and said, "Miss He, here... Meng Tingyi..."

After the cramped self-introduction, Meng Tingyi secretly looked at Xiang Chaoci, who nodded slightly, and looked up at the flower crown of the flower tree again, immersed in the graceful world separated by the rain.

She looked at the wind and rain, flowers and trees in front of her, and Meng Tingyi looked at her.

Only the unadorned and true beauty of this world can enter her heart.

She is the only one who can win Meng Tingyi's heart.

In the process of that heart fluttering like a storm, and in the process of that heart gradually calming down with the wind and rain, Meng Tingyi gradually found himself.

He put away the umbrella, looked at the flowers fluttering in the wind and rain with her, drenched the three or two drops of raindrops with the fragrance of flowers together, and immersed themselves in this quiet place where no one was disturbed.

The sound of the rain gradually died down, Chaoci looked at Meng Tingyi, with a trace of questioning in her clear eyes, she pointed in the direction of home.

"Shall I take you back?" Meng Tingyi asked tentatively.

Chaoci smiled gratefully, and got under his umbrella.

The sudden approach made Meng Tingyi a little dazed, the fragrance of her body lingered on the tip of his nose, as long as he lowered his head slightly, his chin would bump into the back of her head.

The two held an umbrella silently and walked in the rain.

The rain is getting weaker. After walking from the winding path to the door of my house, the rain has stopped outside the emerald green screen washed by the rain. The night sky after the rain is bright. Under the moonlight, the two stop and look at each other. Looking at Meng Tingyi whose back was wet a lot, he was a little surprised.

Her eyes fell on Meng Tingyi's drenched shoulders for a long time, not knowing what to think. After a while, she reached out and brushed his shoulders, brushing away the residual leaves of the camellia tree. Her hands were as light as a feather.

Chaoci bowed to Meng Tingyi to thank him, and withdrew from under his umbrella, looked at him again with bright eyes, then smiled slightly, followed the emerald green barrier, and disappeared in front of his eyes with a distant "squeak" door opening.

Meng Tingyi stood there stupidly for a long time. After a long time, he touched her chest, which had not been calm for a moment since seeing her, and walked back with the umbrella in his hand.

When he returned to the restaurant, he thanked Xiao Er for returning the umbrella. Knowing that after the rain stopped, Lu She saw that he had not returned, and seeing that it was late, she had already paid the bill and left with the two distinguished guests.
