Chapter 6 Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet
When night falls, it is the fifteenth day of August, a full moon hangs in the mysterious night, and the gentle moonlight kisses the earth, plating a layer of silver-white clothes on the simple earth, comforting those who have worked hard all day.
There is an unwritten tradition in Yefu that every Mid-Autumn Festival, the family will gather together to eat and admire the moon in the pavilion in the back garden.
In the gazebo there is a small round table, not very large, surrounded by five elaborate stools. The table is full of gourmet pastries, and just looking at it will make people drool.
"Alright, let's all go down. General Ye Qun spoke. After that, all the maids who were waiting next to him retreated respectfully.
The cool breeze is blowing, and the independent pavilion in the garden looks particularly dreamy after being baptized by the bright moonlight.
"Hey, it's a pity that Dalang is not here. The middle-aged woman stared at the empty fifth stool, looking a little sad.
"Madame and be relieved, there is an urgent matter in the army, Feng'er can't help it, just wait for him to come back so that he can accompany you well. General Ye couldn't bear to see his wife, and he comforted. After that, I wanted the little girl next to me to make a look.
Ye Xiaorou instantly understood, stepped forward and hugged the beautiful woman's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, eldest brother is busy, there is Xiaorou by your side to accompany you, hehe." Mother doesn't hurt Rou'er anymore?"
How could Mrs. withstand such a sugar-coated cannonball, she disarmed in an instant, and then gently touched the little girl's head, "You little girl, how can my mother not hurt you." ”
The family tasted pastries under the soft moonlight, chatted happily.
"By the way, Xiaorou, next month is the time for Tianfang Academy to recruit students, you have to prepare well during this time, don't be careless. After speaking, Ye Qun picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and was about to put it in his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and turned to look at the stunned ink dust on the side.
"Come with Chen'er, you're eighteen, this is your last chance to enter the academy. ”
As if he hadn't heard his father's words, Mochen was still eating the pastry with his head down, his eyes blank.
Seeing Mo Chen's demeanor like this, General Ye lost his temper and slapped the table with his hand, this time not only Mo Chen woke up from his daze, but the mother and daughter next to him were also shocked.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Mo Chen asked suspiciously, just now he was thinking about the Star Ring, and he forgot for a moment and didn't hear his father's question.
"Bastard boy, go to Tianfang Academy with your sister this time, don't come back if you can't get in. If you hang like before, Lao Tzu will break your legs!" Ye Qun's majestic voice sounded.
"Sir...", the lady on the side was about to say something to ease the scene.
"Oh, it's this, I know, don't worry. Mo Chen said casually.
Tianfang Academy knew it, and this name had once become Ye Chen's nightmare before.
The full name of the Heavenly Academy is the Heavenly Royal Academy, which is the highest-level academy of the Heavenly Empire, and it is also the holy place of cultivation that the young people of the Heavenly Empire dream of.
Located not far from Heavenly City, a place where spiritual energy gathers. The college covers a vast area, with thousands of acres. It was like a behemoth waiting around the Heavenly Side City.
The academy has cultivated batches of talents for the Celestial Empire, and countless people are fascinated. The college only enrolls students once a year in September, and only those between the ages of 15 and 18 who have reached the level of star scholars are eligible for admission.
A few years ago, Ye Chen, the second young master of the Ye family, was stubborn and unlearned, and General Ye spent a lot of effort this year to make him break through the star disciple and reach the level of a star soldier. Seeing that he was almost eighteen years old, this year was Ye Chen's last chance to enter the Heavenly Royal Academy, how could General Ye not be in a hurry.
General Ye has two sons, a dragon and a dog, the eldest son Ye Feng is talented, and after graduating from the Tianfang Royal Academy, he is now a guard commander of the famous Huya Guard of the Tianfang Kingdom, on the other hand, the second son, hey, he has no eyes.
It's just that great changes have taken place in the period of time since Ye Chen experienced life and death, which also rekindled the hope of the already disheartened general, who doesn't want his son to become a dragon.
Yes, now hearing Mo Chen's affirmative answer, Ye Qun is also a little relieved, he does not ask this second son to be as majestic as the eldest son, he only hopes that he can have a self-preservation power in the future.
Soon, the atmosphere became harmonious again, and Mother Ye tirelessly told the brother and sister what they should pay attention to after leaving the house. The brother and sister also listened attentively.
In this regard, Ye Xiaorou couldn't help but glance at the second brother, frankly speaking, she didn't like her second brother, and even hated it. It's just that he acted too much Meng Lang before, and his reputation outside is also unbearable.
These days, the second brother has not done evil everywhere as usual, but he has been staying at home, either reading books or accompanying his family, as if he is a complete prodigal son.
Could it be that there is really something else beyond the Star Continent? Is the world that the second brother is talking about really exist? A wicked man who has experienced life and death wandering finally sees through everything, and the prodigal son turns back?
But it is difficult for a person to change his deep-rooted views on another person, and they can only ferment slowly in a subtle way, who does not want brothers and sisters to be respectful and have a harmonious family.
Over the past few days, the conversation between the brother and sister has gradually increased, and the distance between the brother and sister has slowly narrowed.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended quickly, and Ye Xiaorou happily ran out of the house with Mochen, followed by a few entourages to visit the Mid-Autumn Festival party.
The night is as cool as water, the moon and stars are sparse tonight, and the sky is particularly bleak, but the Tianfang City under the cold moonlight is very lively, with lights everywhere, and the face of the girl lined with fiery red lanterns has also turned pink. The vendors on both sides of the road shouting hard, the dense pink river lights in the creek, and the dense crowd come and go.
It was the first time in two lifetimes that he had seen such a lively scene, and Mo Chen was also in a good mood, and his mind was relaxed, so he also walked around with his little sister.
"Second brother, second brother, there is a lantern riddle in front, let's go, let's take a look." Ye Xiaorou saw something interesting, so she pulled Mo Chen and squeezed into the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's guess the lantern riddle, as long as you answer this last lantern riddle correctly, you can get the last prize tonight, the crystal lotus seat. The boss in front of the lantern riddle stall shouted at the people around him.
"I'm coming!", "I'm coming!",
Two pleasant voices sounded almost at the same time, but I saw the two little girls step forward and stand up. One of them is Ye Xiaorou. And the other little girl was dressed in a fiery red long dress, with the fiery red beautiful long hair, which looked particularly eye-catching, three points playful with seven points of charm, and a little danger hidden in the charm.
The two little girls stared at each other with big beautiful eyes, as if they were two little tigers that had found their prey.
Mo Chen smiled helplessly, similar to this crystal seat is not like a cabbage for Ye Fu, but it is not too much. Usually, Ye Xiaorou doesn't care if she plays with it. At this time, it is like protecting the treasure that is bound to be obtained.
"Yun Po Meiyue leaned on the west building and typed a word. The mystery appeared, and the onlookers fell into deep thought, and the two little girls also frowned, folding their fingers and thinking seriously.
Mo Chen thought about it for a while, and silently drew a private word with his finger behind Ye Xiaorou's back.
"I know, I know, it's a 'private' word, selfish selfishness, right?" Ye Xiaorou understood that the second brother was giving her a hint, and after knowing the answer, she couldn't wait to shout.
"This young lady guessed correctly, congratulations, this crystal lotus will be yours, please take it." The boss smiled and handed the prize to Ye Xiaorou.
Ye Xiaorou took the trophy and waved it to show off to the girl who was all red: "Look, look, I won." You lose, hee-hee. ”
The fiery girl was also unconvinced, "Hmph, what did you win, did you guess it? I saw it all, he drew it out behind your back to tell you, otherwise, why is it a private word?"
"What if he told me? He's my brother, you can find your brother if you have the ability, and you won't admit it if you lose, hum!"
Turning to Mo Chen, he said, "Second brother, you can explain it to them, I want to know it too." "It's like showing off a treasure that no one else has, only you.
"Hehe, the clouds are broken, the eyebrows are the moon, the west building is wood, and the combination is private. Mochen touched the little girl's head and said with a smile.
Everyone suddenly realized.
The fiery girl snorted, turned around and left.
The crowd dispersed, and the crowd on the street slowly decreased, "Let's go, it's not too early." Mo Chen said softly to the little girl, every time I see her, it's like seeing Qingling, and this is my own sister, how can I not spoil her.
The night is deep, and the full moon in the deep sky is like a huge silver plate, becoming clearer and clearer.
