In a blink of an eye, it was half August, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The old and young in the family have rushed to make new clothes for the festival, because the filial piety period has not passed, and they do not dare to do it wantonly, so they only set up a banquet in the back garden, so that the old and young in the family can gather together to enjoy the moon and drink.
Fang Yuan's injury was completely healed, Grandma Song spent a lot of money to hire someone to prepare ointment for her, there were no traces at all, and her skin was even better than before she was injured.
They are all a family, there is no need to avoid suspicion, a few tables of banquets were set up in the back garden, men, women and children gathered together, when Fang Fei came out with the old ancestor, everyone in the family had already arrived, and they got up one after another to welcome the two elders of the family, the old ancestor and Fang Fei.
On the upper seat sat the old ancestor, on the right was Fang Fei and the second old man and his wife, on the left was the eldest master and his wife, and on the lower was Zhao Rongzhao, the eldest grandson of the big house, and Zhao Rongyun, the eldest son of the second room, just filled eight seats.
The ancestor took the lead in raising a glass, everyone got up one after another, and the family banquet officially began.
Fang Fei has been busy preparing family banquets these days, and the whole person is very busy, and today, he can be regarded as completely relaxed.
I don't know if it's an intentional arrangement or an unintentional coincidence, Zhao Rongzhao's seat is at the bottom, facing Fang Fei at the top.
Fang Fei picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip of the osmanthus brew in the cup, and then held the white jade cup in his hand and played with it.
Zhao Rongzhao sat upright, the injury he was beaten by Master Zhao a few days ago should have healed, his eyes were deep, and he stared directly at his grandmother Fang Fei opposite.
It's a feeling of pins and needles. It's like in the last life, she was thrown into the deserted wild wolf, and a pack of wolves were eyeing her body.
I just had a funeral, and the family had a simple holiday, and I didn't even invite the troupe, except for admiring the moon and drinking, I had to watch the performances of several aunts in the second room of the big house. The fourth aunt in the second room played the flute, and the fifth aunt danced, and the cooperation was full of tacit understanding, which was pleasing to the eye. Even the old ancestors. also clap and praise from time to time.
A servant came in quietly, walked to the second master and whispered a few words, the second master immediately changed his face and walked quickly to the old ancestor's side. Whispered, "Grandmother." Chen Shizi came over. Do you think ...... "Please come in and sit?"
The old ancestor raised his eyes, glanced at the second master lightly, and said, "It's all door." What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and welcome you in person! ”
The second old man even said yes, and ran away with a smoke.
Recently, Chen Shizi has been elusive, disappearing for several days from time to time, and suddenly popping up from time to time, and the second master is about to be scared out of heart disease! Who would have thought that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when thousands of families are reunited, Chen Shizi would not go home to eat moon cakes, but would come to Zhao's house.
Recently, Fang Feili's old ancestor, although the second master's voice was small, he still listened to it word for word, and his heart suddenly became astringent, and he couldn't say what it was like.
After a while, a noble man in brocade clothes stepped on the bright moonlight and walked into the back garden with his hands in hand. The second old man groveled and followed closely behind him, showing even more that he was tall and the jade tree was in the wind.
"Ancestor auspicious." Chen Yu stepped forward slowly, bowed slightly to the chief ancestor, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he smiled like nothing, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a gentle and elegant son, and he had nothing to do with the murderous maniacs who were rumored to be outside.
The old ancestor was sitting in a precarious position, holding the dragon descending wooden cane with one hand, and said with his chin bowed: "The prince is reasonable, please take a seat." ”
Just a moment ago, Grand Steward Zhao had already ordered someone to add a table.
Chen Shizi is an outsider and a guest, and he can't let people share the table with the ladies in the family, the eldest and second masters accompany him to the seat, and Zhao Rongzhao and Zhao Rongyun were also called over to accompany them, leaving a table of ladies behind.
After Zhao Rongzhao left the table, he happened to have his back to Fang Fei, as soon as he left, Fang Fei breathed a long sigh of relief, but at this moment, he felt that the creepy feeling on his body had not diminished at all, but worsened, and he raised his eyes and swept over inadvertently, just colliding with Chen Yuwang's eyes.
Such cool eyes, but they are like a thousand degrees of fire, just one glance can burn the soul of the other party, and it is like ten thousand years of ice, which makes people unmoved, and even breathing becomes difficult.
Fang Fei was stunned, and a chill rushed from the tail vertebrae to the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and he looked away in panic and hastily.
That feeling is like being surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves, and when you reach the end of despair, a tiger suddenly runs out, and with one look, it drives away all the hungry wolves, and you don't know whether to be grateful or afraid.
During the entire Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Fang Fei spent it in fear.
The old ancestor is in good spirits today, and everyone doesn't want to sweep her fun, the old ancestor didn't leave the table, no one left the table first, until the end of the day, the old ancestor got up unsatisfied, and was carried by Wu's mother and went back to Yining Hall.
Most of the young people in the family don't make trouble until the second half of the night, don't drink a few, I'm afraid they won't disperse, as soon as the ancestor left, Fang Fei breathed a big sigh of relief, followed by quietly left the table, left the hustle and bustle, and walked to his own green jade xuan.
Fang Fei had never drunk alcohol in his life, but he drank two glasses during the banquet, his cheeks were red at the moment, his head was chaotic, and he walked on the verandah, his steps were so vague that he seemed to be about to float.
"Fang Fei." There was a gentle voice behind him.
The voice is the moon piercing the clouds, the snow falling from the sky, the flowers blooming in the darkness, short words, no love and hatred, but it has the power to move people's hearts.
Fang Fei, who was walking in front, was stunned, almost tripped by himself, stiffened his neck, and stumbled forward.
Mother Zhou was talking to Grandma Song, and when she turned around, she couldn't see Fang Fei, so she hurriedly carried the lantern and chased after her at a trot.
"Madame, slow down, be careful! Be careful! Mother Zhou caught up, grabbed Fang Fei's arm, and handed the lantern on her right hand to her left hand.
Fang Fei cooperated with her very much, like a marionette, at her mercy.
Under the dim and faint firelight, Zhou's mother looked sideways and saw that her face was full of tears, and a pair of shining apricot eyes were hollow, as if she had lost her soul.
Syllable!
With a muffled sound, the lantern in Zhou's mother's hand fell to the ground, and the tongue of fire licked the skin of the oil-paper lantern, and in an instant, it became a pile of black ashes.
"Mrs. Tai? Fang Fei, Fang Fei! Mother Zhou's face turned pale with fright, and she shouted her name again and again.
There is a folk saying that when a child is young, the soul is unstable in the body, and if she is not careful, the soul will be abducted, as long as the people around her call her name, it can make people return to the soul.
Mother Zhou shouted a few times, but to no avail, she became more and more anxious, and as a last resort, she raised her hand and slapped Fang Fei.
A loud slap sounded in the verandah, Fang Fei looked at her in a daze, and involuntarily raised his hand to cover his hot cheeks.
Mother Zhou almost grabbed Fang Fei over, and cried with joy: "Great, it's great that you're okay!" ”
Fang Fei was still inexplicable, so she pulled him to the Green Jade Pavilion.
After returning to the Green Jade Pavilion and washing up, it was already halfway through, and the little maids rested early, and the entire Green Jade Xuan Fang Fei's room was still lit.
Mother Zhou made the bed, came out of the house with a candlestick, put it on the high shelf on the side, stepped forward to put Fang Fei, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and looking at herself in the mirror in a daze, and said angrily: "Mrs. Tai, it's more midnight, don't sit in front of the mirror for too long." ”
Fang Fei only felt sore and weak, nodded cooperatively, and was pushed by Zhou's mother to walk into the bedroom, lying in the soft brocade quilt, and didn't even bother to move his fingers.
Zhou's mother covered her with a quilt, put down the golden hook at the head of the bed, closed the tent, blew out all the candles in the house, and then quietly withdrew from the house.
As soon as the room darkened, Fang Fei, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and the screen window let in the bleak moonlight, and the layers of gauze tents became hazy.
A strong sense of uneasiness hit, Fang Fei lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up.
The moon shadow was sparse, and on the snow-white gauze tent, a black shadow was slowly climbing up the tent along the edge of the bed, gradually enlarging.
"Who?" Fang Fei's whole body trembled, he shrunk his legs, folded his arms on his knees, and stared at the gradually enlarged black shadow on the gauze tent.
The fifteenth moon is extraordinarily bright, the moon is like water, and it is like a light veil covering the earth, and the heaven and earth are miserable. The banquet in the backyard continued, extravagant and decadent, the young boys drank so much that even the girls were flushed, and the whole backyard was noisy.
The sound of laughter passed through the back garden, spread in all directions, and finally disappeared on the sparkling lake in the center of the Zhao family's mansion.
The moonlight shines through the diamond-shaped carved window, drawing a faint diamond-shaped pattern on the ground, and the visitor stops at the place five steps before the stepping bed, and pauses for a long time, without any intention of going further, even if it is half a step.
On the gauze tent is reflected a completely tall figure, as tall as a jade tree, too fat if you have more, too thin if you have less, and perfect without a penny.
Fang Fei shrunk up, sat on the bed, staring at the shadow on the gauze tent in a daze, through the blurred shadow, it seemed that he could see what kind of expression the person outside the tent had on his face, and couldn't help but stretch out his trembling hand, and his slender index finger followed the outline of the shadow, from bottom to top.
The room was surprisingly quiet, a gust of evening breeze struck, the unbolted windows snapped open, and the fierce wind carried the fragrance of the lake water, and poured into the house fiercely, rolling up the curtains all over the room, and flying up and down.
The cold wind rolled up the gauze tent in front of the bed, and came towards the Fang Fei pavement on the bed, and the figure on the gauze tent was completely shattered and disappeared at that moment, looming, she saw a pair of brocade boots with a white background and black face in front of the bed.
Fang Fei's heart tightened, his scalp was numb for a while, he stretched out his trembling hand, vigorously ripped open the gauze tent, turned over and got out of bed, and shouted loudly: "Who! (To be continued......) R1292
