Chapter 12 (1) Autumn Festival

In the early morning, the first snow fell on Yuquan Mountain, and the broken jade-like snowflakes floated on the cold pool on the top of Yuquan Mountain, and also fell outside Zi Mo's window. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yu Zimo stood at the window and looked up at the sky where the jade was sprinkled. It seemed to turn the Milky Way sky upside down, and it seemed to confide in her.

Qing Yao walked lightly behind Yu Zimo, she was afraid that the princess would catch a cold, so she put on a thick robe for the princess.

"The snow scene of Yuquan Mountain is really beautiful. Yu Zimo sighed at the scenery outside the window.

Qing Yao looked at the snow outside the window and couldn't help but sigh. Although she has the opportunity to see it once a year, she is still amazed by the scenery created by nature every time.

"Unfortunately, tomorrow we have to go back. Yu Zimo said faintly. There was a hint of nostalgia in his tone.

"If the princess likes it, can we stay here for a few more days?" Qing Yao was also reluctant to live a quiet life here.

Yu Zimo shook his head, "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will eventually pass away, it is a blessing to be able to witness it with your own eyes, and greed is a luxury." It is enough to be able to look at it at this moment. Yu Zimo continued to look out the window, his gaze Ling Ran, "...... The first snow is coming, and the day of the autumn festival is approaching. Before I knew it, time had passed like this, and I really didn't know how old I was in the mountains!"

The princess's reminder, Qing Yao also remembered.

The autumn festival is one of the four festivals in the Xin Kingdom every year, and the scale is second only to the spring festival. During the spring festival, the people will wear the most festive clothes, carry the most abundant food offerings, and pray to the gods for a new year, abundant grains and abundant food. The autumn festival is when people take out the leftover grain after a good harvest and thank the gods for the food they have given. On the day of the autumn festival, in addition to wearing masks and holding red lanterns, people pray and dance together, and they will put different grains into incense sachets and give them to the people around them to express different blessings.

Every year on the autumn festival, the princess must participate.

"I'm going to pack my things. Qing Yao quickly retreated.

Yu Zimo's slender figure was still standing quietly at the window, her eyes clear and deep, staring at the snowy scene at the top of Yuquan Mountain at night.

……

The sky is bright and snowy, and the red light surges, shining on the top of Yuquan Mountain, which is wrapped in jade and silver.

Qing Yao took Changyue and Tongyun by the hand, turned around in three steps, and followed the princess down the mountain.

Down the hill is a refreshing day after a drizzle.

It's just about to be autumn, and it's not very cold. Along the way, the two horses galloped very happily.

When they returned to Sindu, it was noon. Yu Zimo turned her head and said to Qing Yao that before returning to the palace, she had to go to a place first.

Sure enough, except on Yuquan Mountain, the princess couldn't stay idle for a moment.

"Where is the princess going?" she asked feebly, obediently.

"Duobao Street. Yu Zimo replied.

Go there again!Qing Yao couldn't help frowning. That Duobao Street is so dirty that it's unbearable. They had just left from such a sacred and clean place as Yuquan Mountain, couldn't they let her retain a little more of the clean breath in the mountain. They met Yu'er because of this Duobao Street. For Qing Yao, Duobao Street is synonymous with dirt and trouble. So how can the princess who loves cleanliness always go to that dirty place.

Qing Yao reluctantly followed the princess to Duobao Street. Sure enough, Duobao Street is as narrow and dirty as ever, and it smells bad. Qing Yao wrinkled her nose and insisted on walking to the end of Duobao Street, who called the seed shop in the innermost part of the street.

In the days leading up to the autumn festival, business at the old bean seed shop is always exceptionally good. When they arrived, the small seed shop was crowded with customers. Lao Dou was busy greeting customers, and he didn't have time to greet them.

The customers left and came, Yu Zimo and Qingyao stood outside the door, waiting for almost a stick of incense, and it was easy to wait for fewer customers in the store to be free. Yu Zimo winked at him. Lao Dou put aside the customers in the store and walked to Yu Zimo.

"It's back. His pepper-like eyes rolled behind the dry skin, still cloudy.

"Hmm. Yu Zimo nodded.

"Then it's ......" Lao Dou didn't say it directly, but his intuition told Qing Yao that it was referring to Yu'er in Lao Dou's mouth.

"Already sent it back. Yu Zimo replied simply.

"It's ......"

Yu Zimo nodded again.

Lao Dou's cloudy eyes seemed to become clearer.

"What do I want?" asked Yu Zimo.

"Here. Lao Dou didn't say a word, he took out an oiled paper bag from his arms very happily and handed it to Yu Zimo carefully.

Yu Zimo took the paper bag, touched it with his hand, and frowned, "Only two?"

"There are only two left. Lao Dou said solemnly.

"I'm sorry for you. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Lao Dou said politely.

It's not like the old beans that used to be. Qing Yao knew that the princess was willing to come to this dirty Duobao Street again and again, and the only purpose was to ask Lao Dou for the seeds of some kind of plant, which seemed to be not easy to findβ€”now what he gave to the princess should be what the princess wanted. The princess had come so many times before, but he ignored it and refused to go out of his way to find it. How did his attitude turn 180 degrees this time.

"You don't have to say that. I'll have a place for you to help in the future. ”

"As long as I can do it. Lao Dou said seriously.

"Thank you. Yu Zimo put away the paper bag in his hand. "Qing Yao, let's go. After getting what she wanted, the princess stopped talking to Lao Dou and turned away.

……

Leaving Dobao Street, they walked in the direction of the palace. Before they reached the gate of the palace, they saw from a distance that the third prince Tianyuan and his attendants were waving at them in front of the palace gate, and greeted them, as if they were waiting for them.

When Tianyuan came to him, Yu Zimo asked, "Third brother, are you waiting for me here?"

"Otherwise, who can make me wait at this gate for most of the day. ”

Yu Zimo smiled, "How do you know I'm coming back today." ”

Tian Yuan pursed his lips and said with an unhappy expression, "Tianyue said." ”

"Second brother, how did he know? ”

His men came back from outside and said they saw snow falling on Yuquan Mountain. He said that you always go down the mountain after the first snow falls on Yuquan Mountain, before the autumn festival. ”

"The second brother really knows me. Yu Zimo smiled happily.

"I'm the one waiting for you here. Tian Yuan was very dissatisfied with Zi Mo's attitude, "You are obviously favoring one over the other." Here I am, and you praise him. ”

"Yo, how do I smell so much vinegar. Yu Zimo's snow-white fingers fanned in front of his nose.

"I'll eat his vinegar. Tian Yuan pursed his lips and twisted his head to the side angrily.

"Of course I know that the third brother loves me the most. Yu Zimo stepped forward, took Tianyuan's arm, and said coquettishly, "I've been waiting for me for so long, I'm tired." Let's go, let's go to Father first, and then I'll treat you to the best wine. ”

"That's pretty much it. Tian Yuan put away his deliberately stiff face. "Aren't you eating well in the mountains, why have you lost so much weight. Tian Yuan saw that Yu Zimo seemed to be thinner, and asked with concern.

"The mountains are clean, get rid of unnecessary troubles, and naturally cleanse them. Yu Zimo teased.

"That's good, next time I'll go into the mountains with you for a few days. Tian Yuan said.

"Third brother, do you want to lose weight?"

Tian Yuan straightened his waist, "Just your third brother and my figure, do you still need to lose it?" Tian Yuan raised his arms and patted his bulging muscles.

"Then you still want to go into the mountains?"

"I don't have to see the moon every day when I go into the mountains, I don't want to see my face every day. ”

Yu Zimo laughed, "You don't look at your face when you get up and look in the mirror every morning. What's more, if you don't see the second brother, it's good if you don't see it, and you still need to go into the mountains. ”

"I don't want to see him, but I can't stop him from coming to see me. Tian Yuan complained.

Obviously, no one can do without anyone, and they have to be hard-mouthed. Yu Zimo really convinced these two brothers.
