The marriage between the two is finally scheduled for April next year.

After all, the Du family has only settled in Chang'an, and many things are unstable, like Du Rong's dowry, which has never been completely prepared, so the old lady plans to stay with Du Rong for a few more months and marry her off when the spring blossoms.

It had been hot and unbearable a while ago, and the girls had never studied with the female masters, for fear of tanning them, so they stopped for more than a month, and in July, when it was a little cooler, they came out of the boudoir again.

But it was still very hot outside, Du Xiu shook the fan, and said to Du Ruo: "Next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, grandmother has already ordered someone to set up a moon worship platform, third sister, which girls do you plan to invite to come and worship the moon with us?" ”

Du Ruozheng was writing, and said lightly: "I'm too lazy to invite this year." ”

"Oh, don't you invite your sister Zhou?" Du Xiu raised her eyebrows, "You are so good with her, which year did you not worship the moon together in the past?" I've heard that she's sent people to come to the house several times, why don't you go and see her? ”

Which pot is not opened, Du Ruo said: "I want you to take care of it." ”

She knew that Du Xiu was deliberate, because she didn't listen to Du Xiu that day, and she didn't mention Zhou Huizhao's matter, so Du Xiu seemed to be unwilling. But she won't feel sorry for Zhou Huizhao anymore now, but she doesn't want to comment on it either.

Seeing that Du Ruo's face didn't even change, Du Xiu felt bored again, looking at her and sighing deeply, Du Ruo broke with Zhou Huizhao, not to mention, but also broke with Zhao Yu. She really didn't know what was going on, and she didn't understand why Du Ruo wanted to let go of a man like Zhao Yu.

He is the crown prince and the future emperor!

But she was so ruthless that Zhao Yu no longer came to the Du family, and he hadn't appeared for a long time.

Du Xiu was very irritable and shook the fan again.

Hearing them talk about inviting people, Du Rong and Du Ying said: "I see that you and Miss Yuan are very compatible, why don't you invite her to come over to worship the moon?" ”

Du Ying has no friends except for her family, but it's no wonder, after all, no one wants to get too close to the sick, and everyone will be uncomfortable when they see and hear all kinds of illnesses, but who would have thought that she went to the palace that day and quickly won the favor of Miss Yuan, they all like to play chess.

Yuan Xiuchu won one more game against her that day, but she also praised Du Ying's good chess skills, and even came to Du's house to see her during this time, without the slightest dislike.

Du Ruo put the pen on the camel pen holder carved by Hetian jade, and said approvingly: "Just invite Miss Yuan, she is very versatile and interesting." ”

She looked at Du Ying with a smile.

This time, after Du Rong and Zhang Fengyi got married, there were no more things like in a dream, Du Ying's body was even better than before, she was extremely happy, if she continued like this, maybe she would be cured.

Du Ying nodded: "Then invite her, but in a family as big as the Yuan family, she may not come." ”

"Although they are famous families, they seem to be dying out, and only this backbone is left, even more deserted than our family." Du Rong said, "You will write an invitation in a few days, and she will definitely come." ”

Du Xiu listened, his eyes rolling.

Yuan Xiuchu's father is the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, although he has not yet sat in the position of a heavenly official, but he seems to have a lot of power. I didn't expect Du Ying to be so powerful, so I went out for the first time and made a friend like Yuan Xiuchu.

Sure enough, my aunt said it well, although Liu's is a straw bag, but the two daughters are not bad, it can be seen that my aunt still has some insight, but unfortunately what's the use of not having a son?

made her a concubine, and she didn't even have a brother to rely on.

Du Xiu sighed helplessly.

When it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Du family did not buy moon cakes from the shop, because the old lady was born in a family, and the taste was very picky. It's just that the number is not too much, but the old lady still ordered someone to send some to Yongwangfu, Zhang's family, and Du Yunyan, Du Yunyan's comrades' house.

But on that day, the palace also gave moon cakes, together with those sent by other families, which was really an inexhaustible posture.

Du Ruo alone, there were more than thirty of them, she looked worried, she ate a jujube mud moon cake by herself, and Yuzhu, Helan said: "I eat this in the morning and at noon, I don't want to eat it at night, and I don't want to eat it tomorrow, you take it and divide it." In addition, he asked Yuzhu to take some silver money out and reward it to the people in the courtyard, "You can drink some wine today, and play whatever you want with your family, I will go to the court to admire the moon and return very late, don't go crazy." ”

The two hurriedly thanked each other and walked out happily.

The Mid-Autumn Festival once a year, it is very grand, the sky is a little dark, the mother-in-law will take a long pole, step on the ladder to hang the lantern, Du Ruo saw the same, put on a new skirt, and put the sword spike that had been made long ago in the sleeve, and went to the room to ask the elders for peace.

The old lady smiled and said, "I still bought very good crabs today, if you want, don't you eat them until tomorrow morning!" ”

Eating crabs is exquisite, and you have to ask for a set of tools, she is already slow, eating a crab is terrible, everyone laughed.

Xie said: "You can't eat too much, be careful of your body." ”

When she is old, sometimes she is greedy, the old lady doesn't look at the usual peace, but she has also had a few stomach troubles because of eating, she smiled: "I can't eat with you staring at me, let's go, let's go to the courtyard, come, Zheng'er, let's go together." ”

Du Zheng is seven years old this year, born thin and small, like a little bean sprout, his temperament is not sparse, he is very silent, when he heard his grandmother call him, he walked over and said in a low voice: "Okay." ”

The old lady put her hand on his hair and touched it, and sighed softly.

Du Ying looked at it in her eyes, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

This is their only son in the second room, but he is so weak, unlike Du Ling, who is growing up healthy and healthy, he is already a brave teenager.

When will her brother grow up?

I don't know if she can see it, she gasped and held Hibiscus's hand and followed.

Du Ruo walked out of the room and asked Du Ling, "Brother Xuan will come today, right?" In the past, he would come every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival. "Renyue is reunited, he has no family, who is he going to reunite with?

The only way to come to their Du house is to come.

"Please, please, but I don't know if I'll come." Du Ling shook his head, "He has been training soldiers for a while, sometimes it is too late, and he lives on the training ground, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole world celebrates, so he shouldn't stay there." ”

It's been a long time since I've seen him, so her sword spike hasn't been sent.

Du Ruo and Du Ling went to the courtyard side by side.

The moon hung high in the sky, like a silver disc, shining down, sprinkling the light all over the place, and the lanterns on the surrounding pavilions and pavilions reflected each other, so that the whole courtyard was enveloped in tenderness.

Before it was time to eat, everyone was laughing and laughing, Du Ruo just walked to a jujube tree, and heard the people say that there were guests coming, she turned around in surprise and saw He Xuan walking over.

As he walked, the moonlight seemed to flow on him.

The old lady said with a smile: "I heard that you have worked hard recently, you have to take a good rest today, and the safety of our Chang'an is entrusted to you." ”

He Xuan said: "It's not enough. ”

He said very little, the old lady knew his temper, so he didn't say much, Du Yunyu, Xie Shi and Du Ling went up, smiled and asked him about his current situation, he answered one by one, stayed for a while, and looked at Du Ruo.

She is still standing under the jujube tree, wearing a moon-white embroidered pink entangled camellia short undergarment, a long skirt below is lotus lotus-colored, there is no pattern, only the stars are embroidered with silver thread, in this night, under the light of the lantern, flickering from time to time, like a firefly in the sky.

He strode over, watched her comb her bud head lift up a few inches, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You've grown taller." ”

It's just that I haven't seen her for two or three months, and she's a lot taller.

"Is the sword spike ready?" He asked about this in the second sentence.

Du Ruo laughed: "It's been done a long time ago, but you haven't come, I want to give it to you personally." Do you know, the eldest sister and Brother Zhang have already made a marriage! ”

She took out the sword spike and shook it slightly.

It was made of crimson silk, and at the top were six deep purple gemstones, all of which were extremely intense colors, but she still didn't seem to be very satisfied.

"It's a pity I didn't find a red that was close to black, or a little purple, which would be more suitable for you. But this gem is very beautiful, although it is not the most valuable, but it is rare, and I only have a few of them. ”

She said this very seriously, and He Xuan said: "The kind of color you said is not in the world. ”

"yes, so it's a pity, of course other colors are good, but you're always dressed in black." Since she wants to send a sword spike, of course she has to match it with a good color.

Only the girl cared about this, He Xuan's sleeves flicked slightly, and he coughed lightly: "Then what color clothes do you think I should wear?" ”

"It's a lot, like a lake, cyan, blue,......" she said the word blue, only to feel her tongue knotted, her face turned red, she couldn't go any longer, she lowered her head to cover it, and handed him the sword spike.

He said, "Are you too coarse with silk?" ”

"How so? I remember the hilt of your sword, and I chose a similar silk silk. She looked up dissatisfied, and passed the sword spike through the hilt, "Look, isn't it just right?" ”

At that moment, he saw the hibiscus color on her face, blooming, and he didn't know for whom.

He didn't move, staring at her.

In his amber eyes, she saw her own reflection, and saw the endless sky above him.

It was as if fallen leaves had fallen from under the jujube tree.

Shaking around, breaking this moment that was easy to confuse, Du Ruo heard the old lady's voice in his ears: "Ruoruo, come over quickly, sit next to me." ”

"Grandmother called me, and I'm leaving."

She turned away.

He stroked his fingers over the spike and smiled down.
