On Chinese New Year's Eve, the General's Mansion was rarely lively, and the maids and servants decorated the huge General's Mansion inside and out. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info is also very lively because of the people coming and going.

After the unitary hour, the main family and guests in the General's Mansion gathered. Qi Zhaonian and the others in Linluo were all distinguished guests, and they were far away from their hometowns, so they inevitably missed their relatives during the festival, so they put on a feast and sat down in the main hall.

Lin Luo and Tang Guxi sat on one side, Qi Yu, Lin Xun and Ye Ying sat on the other side, and above the main seat was General Qi Zhao. Since Mrs. Qi's death, the Qi Mansion has generally been deserted and lonely this year, and this is the first time in several years that Qi Zhao has gathered together on Chinese New Year's Eve to chat happily.

"General Sima, you're already on your way back." After three rounds of drinking, Qi Zhao said drunkenly.

When Qi Yu and Ye Ying heard this, they hurriedly put down their wine glasses, "Father, has General Sima brought back any letters?" ”

Qi Zhao sighed and shook his head: "I don't have a letter, but it's ...... It is estimated that in a few days, the king will issue a war letter. ”

As soon as he heard this, Tang Guxi became worried, and the joy on his face when he drank it had completely faded, and at this moment he changed to a sad face, and silently put down his wine glass.

When he first entered the palace to meet the king, the king had already allowed the three of them to follow Qi Yu when they secretly visited Qiao Jiang. In this way, then maybe it won't be the Shangyuan Festival, and General Qi Zhao will take Qi Yu out on the expedition. When the time comes, Brother Bingfeng's antidote ......

Obviously, Lin Luo saw her worries, she thought about it for a while, and asked, "General Qi, as soon as the New Year's Festival passes, it will be the Shangyuan Festival." The Shangyuan Festival is the most important festival in the year except for the Spring Festival, so it ...... If the king makes a war letter, will it be after the festival? ”

General Qi Zhao's eyes were drunk and hazy, his face was flushed, and when he heard her ask this, he didn't think much about it, and replied briskly: "Don't worry, it will take more than ten days for General Sima to come back!" Either way, we'll have to wait until he returns, but ...... Miss Lin, do you also like this kind of lively festival? ”

Lin Luo smiled, "It's not that Lin Luo likes this festival, but that his brother has always loved this happy day, so—"

"Hey, sister!" Lin Xun suddenly said, "When did you become so concerned about me?" ”

Lin Luo glanced at him, didn't say anything, lowered his head and picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips.

"Hahaha," Qi Yu raised his head and smiled, "Lin Xun, Lin Xun, your sister has always loved you, but you, you don't know how to be blessed in the blessing." ”

Lin Xun grinned, picked up his wine glass and said, "Then I'...... A glass to my sister. With that, he raised his head and drank it all.

And the wine in Lin Luo's hand was not finished, she only took a small sip and slowly put it down.

Everyone began to chat again, General Qi Zhao was rarely as excited as tonight, perhaps Mrs. Qi passed away too early, and the depression and boredom in his heart had accumulated for many years, and he suddenly let go of his heart and drank at this moment, and he couldn't hold it back. Or maybe it is the cold disappointment of the king for many years, but he can only serve him without distractions, and there must be a lot of contradictory and complicated emotions in his heart, mixed with the aroma of wine, floating away together......

Qi Yu sat under the seat, although he drank a lot of wine, but this person has always been drunk or not, and he can come and go freely between drunkenness and wakefulness as much as he drank. Therefore, at this moment, looking at the father at the banquet and everyone under the banquet, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, and I was also very happy.

Tang Guxi's eyebrows stretched, he lifted the wine jug and poured a glass of wine, and after pouring the glass, he turned his head to look at Lin Luo.

"Master, I also toast you." She whispered, smiling.

Lin Luo raised his wine glass, met it with both hands, and a smile spread from the corner of his mouth. Under the aroma of wine and candles, the face is glowing, and you can indulge in drinking.

In the midst of the staggered discussions, the room was already full of cups and plates, and the candles were gone. The sound of firecrackers in the distance has long since disappeared, the singing has faded away, and the fireworks have passed. Seeing that it was late at night, General Qi Zhao dispersed the family banquet and ordered everyone to go back to the room one by one. He himself got up and was helped by the family to walk into the room.

After bidding farewell to his father, Qi Yu saw that Lin Luo and the three of them were also tired, so it was inconvenient to disturb, so he and Ye Ying got up and walked towards the east courtyard.

The night is falling, and the crescent moon is high. On the long and winding verandah, Lin Xun walked in front of him, muttering the song of the musician at the banquet in his mouth, half-drunk, and shaking his body twice from time to time. But fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his head and feet are quite balanced, so Lin Luo doesn't care about him.

At this time, she is still sober-minded, and I am afraid she is the only one.

And Tang Guxi, who didn't say a word along the way, was already drunk, relying on the forest to help him move forward with difficulty. She was blinded, top-heavy, and muttered as if she were in a state of drowsiness, but she stopped abruptly at the door of the lotus garden.

Grief comes all of a sudden. I miss Sheng Ge's relatives, I worry about my brother Bingfeng, I miss my master, I feel guilty about my parents, I am worried about whether the antidote can be obtained, and I don't know the future ahead...... Almost at the same moment, it all came to mind.

"Mother...... Mother...... "She wet her cheeks with tears, stopped walking no further, and slid down against the side of the moon gate, "Mother, Xi'er is sorry for you, Xi'er is not filial......"

Lin Luo looked at her and squatted down, but he didn't know what to say.

Tang Guxi squatted on the ground and sobbed, and his voice attracted Lin Xun in front. He turned around and saw Lin Luo and Tang Guxi stopped at the door, his mind was dizzy for some reason, and after rubbing his eyes, he saw clearly that it was Tang Guxi crying.

"This ...... What's going on? Lin Xun walked over quickly, and his mind seemed to be much clearer.

Tang Guxi ignored the two people in front of him, crying to himself, with tears on his face. She cried for a while, stopped, sobbed a few more times, threw her head up, and leaned against the bluestone behind her. The moon shines brightly, and there is a faint softness on her face, and her red and swollen eyes are like peach blossoms in the night under the moon, and the residual tears shimmer.

"Xi'er is destined to ...... is not that kind of person, Xi'er doesn't want to marry into the Hou Mansion, let alone be bound for a lifetime. At the age of seven, I was sent to my master's knees to learn martial arts, and from then on, it was destined that Xi'er would not be able to spend her life in peace. Dad, mother, the child can only say sorry, I ...... I ......"

She covered her face with her hands, gasped twice, and slowly took her hand down, "I can't go back!" ”

With that, she put her head on her lap and wept aloud.

Lin Luo and Lin Xun were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, Lin Xun looked at Tang Guxi, lowered his head and asked, "You mean, you don't want to go back, do you?" ”

Tang Guxi didn't seem to hear it at all, and was still crying.

"Or do you just get the antidote and leave?"

"Alright, let's go." Lin Luo sighed, stretched out his hand to help Tang Guxi up, and continued to drag her forward. Lin Xun stood behind him, touching his head and not knowing what to do.

"Go back to your room." The voice of Lin Luo came from the front. Lin Xun had no choice but to look at the two of them worriedly, turned around and walked towards his room.

After settling Tang Guxi down, seeing that she was already calm on the couch, sleepy-eyed and about to sleep, Lin Luo put down his heart, lowered the bed curtain, and turned around and walked towards the door.

"I ......"

As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard the voice of Tangguxi behind him, and Lin Luo stopped abruptly.

"I don't want to go...... Won't go. The man on the bed muttered, his eyes were hazy, and he looked up at the lonely figure in front of the door, not knowing whether he was awake or drunk.

The dark clouds outside the window dispersed, and the bright moonlight shone in, making the house as bright as day. It's just that the tranquility of the late night has not been dispersed, but has become more deep, and at this moment the garden and the house are silent.

"I see." After a long time, Lin Luo said softly, and then, without looking back, she walked straight out.

The two doors were gently shut, and the night was restored to its original state.
