Surrounded by four cities in Tai'an, it forms the shape of stars and moons.

As its name suggests, Mochizuki Castle was originally built to admire the moon, and later on, when Tai'an held a grand event, many people gathered.

Not to mention today's Moon Tower, it is overcrowded, the building is seven stories high, and the layers are full, Chen Jingcang, who is standing downstairs, sighed and said regretfully: "It's late, there is no place, just find a restaurant to eat?"

He Lixing shook his head and said: "There is another layer above the seventh floor, which is used to receive the most expensive guests, don't fool me." ”

Chen Jingcang asked suspiciously: "Do you know this? You inquired everywhere when you entered Tai'an a few days ago?"

After Chen Jingcang came to Tai'an, he was arranged in the east barracks of the city with good food and drink, and stayed for a few days with the veterans there.

After coming and going, I know a lot of praiseworthy places in Tai'an, and there is a ballad that sings:

"Come to Tai'anli, the bells and drums in the eastern suburbs in the morning, under the willow embankment of the canal at noon, and watch the fireworks in the moon tower at night!"

In addition to this Moon Tower, the most famous is the fireworks willow lane, at this time, the cheerful laughter of the warbler Yanyan, the crisp bones of the soft woman all painted the most expensive rouge sold in Tai'an City, and did not speak, stood upstairs to enjoy the flower moon, and appreciated the handsome little Langjun.

There are also some more famous women, a piano party can attract hundreds of people to watch and reward. Of course, being invited upstairs by the woman who has a piano party, even if it is just a cup of tea, will attract the envy of everyone.

There are even more people, who don't spend thousands of gold, don't bring a meeting, even if they meet, they have to smash hundreds of gold to listen to her say a few words, if you don't like it, you can't get a sip of tea.

On that street, it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as you have enough money in your pocket, any kind of woman can be found, and some princesses and concubines of small countries in the Western Regions can be found.

Chen Jingcang, who was shy in his pocket, said timidly: "I just came, you also know that it has only been a day since I did that position, and the people in the main hall have not recognized it all, nor have they received it, and in a few days, when I enter the East Palace, I will set up a table in the Moon Tower, what do you think?"

He Lixing stretched out a finger, pointed at Chen Jingcang and said, "Trick me into coming to Tai'an, that's it?"

After hearing this, several people all looked at Su Qing'er in unison, only to see her smile shyly, and grabbed Chen Jingcang's hand is slightly tight, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

He Lixing patted his head and said with annoyance: "I knew that the two of you were wrong in Sideburns Mountain, so I only left you two for a few days, and treated me like this? Miss Su, you really impress me." ”

Chen Jingcang laughed and interrupted: "Don't be sad, between our brothers, talking about money hurts feelings, the small restaurant in front is good, and the business is booming, and it is not necessarily worse than Mochizuki Tower." ”

"Listen to the next persuasion, I don't know how bad that restaurant is than Mochizuki Tower!"

Chen Jingcang followed the voice to look at the man, the face of the person who spoke was like a crown of jade, with a gentle smile on his face, the folding fan in his hand waved gently, and behind him was a young man who looked very lazy, dressed in a pale yellow old scholar's uniform, standing there listlessly.

When Chen Jingcang saw this man who was interjecting, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This son, if you say too much, you will lose!"

The handsome man hugged his fists and said: "It's abrupt, under Liu Wuwu, give... Don't be surprised, young ladies and gentlemen!"

Chen Jingcang is not an unreasonable person, after seeing the sincere apology, he didn't say anything more, and when he was about to leave, he heard a voice from behind him: "I don't know if I am fortunate enough to invite Gongzi to go up to Wangyue Tower to have a look?

"You don't have such a big face!" Chen Jingcang said without replying.

"Pingyuan Jin should always have this face, right?" Liu Wuwu said as he looked at the departing figure.

Chen Jingcang turned his head in confusion and said with a smile: "You know a lot about Zhuangyuanlang. ”

"The more you read, the more you know. ”

Chen Jingcang walked towards the Moon Tower, and said as he walked: "In this Tai'an, the reputation of Zhuang Yuanlang is much greater than mine, what is the reason for such enthusiasm?"

Liu Wuwu smiled: "I want to talk about a deal with my son." ”

"Don't talk about business, just look at the lights!"

Liu Wuwu didn't say any more, and led a few people up to the eighth floor of the building, which was claimed to be only seven floors.

The space on the eighth floor of the Moon Tower is small, but there is still space for four or five tables, and there are hollow carved railings all around.

Chen Jingcang, who was standing upstairs, couldn't help but admire: "I really didn't expect that the scenery here is so good." ”

Liu Wuwu shook his head and smiled: "Your Highness has gone all the way, whether it is the Purple Mountain, the holy land of Taoism, or the Datong Academy that scholars all over the world yearn for, they can all be called brilliant. Compared with the market congestion, it is even better. ”

Chen Jingcang, who looked out the window, said: "Although those places have fairy energy, I don't like it very much, or the fireworks in the world are more in line with my heart." ”

"Speaking of fireworks, that's not true, but there is a lantern feast, Your Highness must have never seen it!"

After saying this, Liu Wuwu clapped his hands gently.

After a red light like an arrow shot into the sky, I saw a lantern with a fluttering candle flame slowly rising, and the sound of jubilation downstairs resounded throughout Tai'an.

The candle flame was faint, like elves, swaying and rising in the air with the breeze.

"Ten thousand candles, ten thousand lights, how about this Tai'an?"

There was a smile in his eyes, but Liu Wuwu, who had a calm face, said such a sentence.

Chen Jingcang was slightly stunned, and then said: "I am magnificent!"

"The Chen family is a great Chu, maybe it will be like this flickering candle flame. Although there is a layer of paper on the outside, the candle inside will always burn out, and the only thing waiting for it is to fall into the abyss!"

It was Pingyuan Jin, who had never spoken, who said this, and saw him put away his laziness, and his calm face was full of seriousness.

Chen Jingcang's eyes tightened, then he turned around and said, "Arrogance, joke!"

Hearing this, a wave of anger rose in my heart, and my voice was full of anger.

Pingyuan Jin said to himself: "In another moment, it will be raining!"

Looking at the Kong Ming lantern, which was gradually higher than the Moon Tower, and the moonlight that was getting brighter and brighter, Chen Jingcang calmed down and said: "I have seen the comment that Accord gave you, now it seems to be just a joke, I have never looked down on anyone, you are the first." ”

Ping Yuanjin's calm face did not change in the slightest, and after looking at the fluttering lamp for a while, he sat down on a chair instead, tilted his head, put his hand on his chin, and said:

"Look, the candle flame is about to fall!"

One of the Kong Ming lanterns in the sky burned out first, lost its light, and fell down in a fluttering manner, but for a moment, it was another lamp, and after a while, it was a large area that blended into the darkness under the moonlight, and this magnificent scene of ten thousand lights rising into the sky disappeared in the eyes of those who looked up and watched.

"Manpower is sometimes exhausted! Do what you can!"

Chen Jingcang turned his head sharply and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

"He?" asked Plains King, then continued, "All you need to know is that I'm in the same direction as you!"

This pretended to be profound, people couldn't help but feel a little arrogant, there was a strange remark without a sentence, everyone present looked at the plain gold with his chin in his hand in confusion, and his eyes were full of exploration that he hoped he could explain.

Ping Yuanjin didn't comprehend the gaze, and said calmly: "There is light in the candle flame, and ten thousand candles can't illuminate the entire Tai'an." Even if it is a clear day, there is a place where it is so dark that it is impossible to see clearly, His Royal Highness the Prince, there is light in my heart, but it can shine on the dark corners of Tai'an, how are you going?"

Chen Jingcang scolded mercilessly: "Full of big words, I really can't have a good impression of you with such a false and contrived posture." ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

After Chen Jingcang got out of the Moon Tower, Liu Wuwu, who had been standing at the railing carved with delicate lines, asked suspiciously: "Master, if I hadn't been convinced of you, based on what you just said, I would have beaten you so much that my parents couldn't recognize you." ”

"I don't have a father or a mother, I'm alone, I'm not afraid!"

The champion who spread the word Tai'an shook his head again and again, and then sat down next to Ping Yuanjin, and complained: "Master, you said that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a short-tempered lord, he can't help but beat you up, are you too lazy to fight back?"

"Can he really beat me to death?"

"This is not accurate, in front of the prince of a country, saying that the dynasty will fall, don't hide it from the master, if I am His Royal Highness the prince, the master is afraid that he will not be able to walk out of the gate of Mochizuki Tower today, even if he can get out of the gate, he will be thrown down by me!"

Pingyuan Jin didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and instead said: "I've been in Datong for a long time, and I want to go back just a few days after I went out." ”

Liu Wuwu patted his head, pointed to Ping Yuanjin and said: "You don't talk about this nonsense, a few years ago, you walked around all over the place, and it was two or three years when you left, but I didn't see you say such nonsense." ”

"This is different, I can meet some beautiful heroines and fairies on the road, facing your face every day, I always feel that I have to live many years less, don't face me, I'm going to vomit!"

"Alas, Master's skin is really much thicker than cowhide!"

"I heard you say that Hou Lan, who is the fourth on the beauty list, came to Tai'an, and you don't want to take Master to see it? ”

Liu Wuwu jumped to his feet in anger and said, "Pingyuan Jin, are you going to plant a false accusation again? When you go out, didn't I mean to smash Hou Lan on the door with money? Who said that money can't buy what you love? Who is too lazy to move? This will be interested after complaining to His Royal Highness the Prince, but now it's not mine?"

"Call Master! A gentleman is willing to gamble and lose!"

"Pingyuan Jin, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, and when I lost a bet to you and called you for so many years, you don't have to make an inch!"

"Call Master!"

Liu Wuwu looked at the plain gold who tilted his head for a while. Only then did he sigh helplessly.

Then he said:

"Master!"
