Chapter 096: Accidental Misstep
Chunni Chunye saw that Rao Xuekong was rejected by everyone, and he felt that his face was gloomy, and he was secretly happy, so that they had a greater chance of making a move.
But there is no chance in Mofu, so many maids are watching.
The sky finally got dark, and Mo Fu began to prepare to go out to admire the moon. The ladies of each province got into their own carriages, and Rao Xuekong watched coldly from the sidelines, only to find that they had a lot of food in the car, and the food boxes were placed one by one, wrapped in cotton cloth to keep warm.
And there was nothing to eat in the carriage of Liufu.
Rao Xuekong felt that he was really secret. With no experience in participating in this kind of activity, she thought that Mofu would arrange dinner, but now it seems that each prefecture still needs to bring some food? If she is popular, it will not be a problem to eat, but now it seems that everyone has excluded her, shouldn't she not have to eat at night?
Chunni Haruka glanced at each other and pretended not to see it.
The Li family sent them to the gate of Mofu, and the ladies had their own places to go, so as not to mix with the juniors, so as not to restrain them. But it's not far away.
Nearly ten horse-drawn carriages set off for their destination.
Chunni Chunye got into the carriage of Liufu early, Rao Xuekong was ostracized, they felt that they were also faceless as her maids, so they simply couldn't see it. Because of this, they didn't see a family member in Liufu who was hiding behind a big tree outside the door of Mofu and desperately gesturing towards them.
Today's Jade City is very beautiful and festive, and there are several times more people and pedestrians on the street than usual.
Each vendor has a bamboo pole on the side and hangs lanterns on it. Internal combustion candle flame. Because the lanterns are different, the long street looks like a lantern feast, which is beautiful and interesting.
Naturally, there are also stalls specializing in selling lights, and it is bustling from afar.
Even a child from a poor family put on neat and clean clothes and came out to play and admire the moon and lanterns, and their faces were full of happy smiles.
The young daughters-in-law and girls are also dressed up and play with the sisters or family members, of course, these are all early for the reunion dinner.
The aroma of osmanthus wine grew stronger and stronger with the night, and the horse-drawn carriage passed through such streets and alleys at a much slower speed. Some lots even need to be stopped. When the driver in front of you will block the road, please leave.
Their destination is called Moon Slope, which is located in the west of the city. The famous Gaoyuan Academy in Jasper City is located there. Liu Mingqing and Liu Mingji studied at Gaoyuan Academy.
For Moon Slope and Gaoyuan Academy, Rao Xuekong didn't know anything.
But as she got closer and closer to the moon slope, Liu Yunwei couldn't help but pop up again.
"Sister. Are you from Jasper City? ”
"It's not." Rao Xuekong kept looking out through the curtained car window. Since she was in the downtown spring mud, Chunye didn't agree with her doing this. Now that they are out of the city, they finally stop talking.
Although it is far from the downtown area, this area is not uninhabited. Every once in a while, you will see a house, the road at the door is very wide, connected with the official road, perhaps it is the idea of the government, these houses are pulled ropes, hanging lanterns on them, the road is bright and very beautiful.
"Where is that sister from?" Liu Yunwei continued to ask.
Rao Xuekong said: "You don't know my hometown. She didn't say it wrong, but Liu Yunwei also said that she didn't trust herself, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but she quickly put it aside, anyway, this issue is not important to her.
"Sister, you shouldn't know about Moon Slope, right?" Liu Yunwei seemed to be very yearning for the Moon Slope, and she said happily: "The Moon Slope is the most beautiful place in Jasper City, there is a large osmanthus forest, but because it is too close to Gaoyuan Academy, the ladies and ladies cannot come to this place on weekdays, otherwise they will be easily bumped into by the men of the Academy." Every year, only the Mid-Autumn Festival can come to the moon slope, speaking of which, this matter is still Mrs. Li's idea, because the moon slope is the best place to admire the moon in Jasper City, Mrs. Li said that it is too wasteful to let men occupy it, so she invited the rich daughters of the whole city to the moon slope to admire the moon. ”
"That was when Old Madam Li was young, right?" Rao Xuekong asked. The only advantage of Liu Yunwei's awakening is that she is a native of Jasper City, even if she often stays in the backyard of Liufu, but listening to the chats of those maids-in-law, plus she has come out a few times, she knows at least more about all aspects of Jasper City than Rao Xuekong.
"It's not very young, that is, more than ten years ago." Liu Yunwei said: "At the beginning of Gaoyuan Academy, the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting was only attended by teachers and students in the academy, and since then, even foreign men can participate, it is said that it is because they can get close to these young ladies." Ah, it's embarrassing. Liu Yunwei covered her face as she spoke.
Rao Xuekong snorted, Liu Yunwei's eyes were obviously excited, and pretending to be ashamed like this was just a gesture. A thirteen-year-old girl is really completely crooked.
"If I meet Mo Zhijing tonight, can you calm me down, do you hear?"
"Sister, Brother Zhijing will still accept me as a concubine, right?"
"We discussed this issue last time, whether you are a concubine or not, you can decide for yourself after I leave."
The carriage finally stopped, and Rao Xuekong opened the curtain and jumped down without waiting for Chunni Chunye to take a stool.
The moonlight sprinkled lightly, casting a silvery glow on the earth.
The so-called moon slope is a large and flat hillside, and there are large osmanthus forests on the slope, and the fragrance of osmanthus is so strong that Rao Xuekong is a little surprised.
Because the slope is an osmanthus forest, the carriages can't go up, so the flowers in that area are destroyed, so the hillside is full of carriages, and there are nearly 100 vehicles. Rao Xuekong was dumbfounded. The people who can come to Moon Slope are all young ladies with some wealth and status in Jasper City, so the carriages are also luxurious one by one, which is simply an ancient version of the luxury car event.
This moon slope is like a terraced mountain, and the slope of the mountain is also a large circle of flat land, and in this circle many gauze tents have been erected, and the gauze tents used in each prefecture are of different colors to identify.
The reason why they had to wait for this meeting was because they wanted to set aside time for people to divide the territory of each prefecture, and then let the maids and maids build the yarn tent and prepare for the work.
The gauze tent in Mofu is light concubine-colored, which Rao Xuekong already knows. And Mo Zhihua and the others got off the carriage and went uphill in twos and threes, and no one paid attention to Rao Xuekong. Rao Xuekong is not in a hurry, since she already knows the color of the yarn tent, she will find it by herself later.
She walked slowly up the slope, admiring the moonlit night view of the suburbs. There are also lights in the vicinity, and the downtown in the distance is also a light reflecting the night, the osmanthus is fragrant, the moonlight is bright, this is a very beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival night.
On the east side, you can see a courtyard with blue tiles and white walls, so you can see the corner of the eaves pavilion, which is classical and exquisite. There are also lights and figures.
"Is that Gaoyuan Academy?" Rao Xuekong asked.
"Yes, but Yun Wei hasn't been here either. Today, Mingqing Mingji should also be in the academy. ”
Chunni, who had been following behind, suddenly said: "Third Miss, this will be boring over there, do you want to go up to enjoy the osmanthus for a while?" We can also pick some moonlight osmanthus and go back to make sachets. ”
Liu Yunwei listened to her heart, and said: "Sister, Chunni is right, every year when the eldest sister comes over, she will pick a lot of osmanthus back, saying that the osmanthus on the moon slope on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly fragrant, and the taste of making a sachet can be maintained for a very long time." Liu Yunwei thought to herself, it was Liu Mingru who went back to stimulate her and make her crazy with jealousy, this time she could finally turn over, Liu Mingru couldn't come, she picked the osmanthus flowers of the moon slope and went back, and Liu Mingru was angry! If only she can wake up!
Although Rao Xuekong didn't believe that the osmanthus flowers would be extraordinarily fragrant on this day, she really didn't want to go too quickly to talk to the young ladies about the big eyes, it was better to enjoy the osmanthus flowers. So he agreed, and walked up the hillside with the spring mud and spring leaves.
"Third Miss, the slave maid leads the way in front, the slave maid has been with the eldest lady, and knows which side of the osmanthus blooms best." Chunni came to the forefront.
Rao Xuekong glanced at her and did not speak.
The moon slope is not high, but when Rao Xuekong followed Chunni to the top, he found that the road led by Chunni was really interesting.
There was a deep depression that exposed a very deep earth ditch that stretched down the slope, almost vertically. And in this deep depression there is a large stone covered with moss, and beside the stone grows a very tall laurel tree, which is full of flowers.
"Third Miss, look, the flowers on that tree are the most fragrant." Chunni pointed to the laurel tree and said.
Rao Xuekong smiled but didn't smile: "That is the case, spring mud, you can go over and pick it." ”
Chunni was stunned, "But, Miss San, don't you want to try how fun it is to pick flowers yourself?" After picking flowers, you can also get the fragrance of flowers on your body and hands, which is much better than wearing a sachet. ”
"Really?" Chunni has such inferior acting skills, how can Rao Xuekong not see it? Looking at the moss-covered stone, and then at the dirt ditch below, she felt a chill in her heart. At this height, it seems that falling down will not be life-threatening, but what did she do in her previous life? She had already seen that there were already traces of someone coming here, there must have been hands and feet in the ditch, and she didn't need anything, just a sharpened bamboo arrow inserted in the soil, and she could kill her!
Haruba is also starting to get a little nervous at this time. But when she received Chunni's gaze, she hurriedly helped to persuade: "Really, Third Miss, the eldest lady used to go up to pick flowers by herself, this is a rare opportunity, go up quickly!" ”
Rao Xuekong naturally didn't go up, but when Liu Yunwei heard that Liu Mingru also went up by herself, her heart moved, "Sister, go up, go up, I haven't tried to pick osmanthus by myself!" ”
What a stupid and boring kid to be said to be moved?
Rao Xuekong was about to speak, when a joking male voice suddenly came from behind the flower tree on the left: "Go, go, go, the next thing is that my foot slipped and I accidentally stumbled!" (To be continued......)
