On August 15, Fang Zi'an, Chunni and Lao Zhangtou had a reunion dinner together, and then they were ready to leave for the New Song Meeting. Originally, Fang Zi'an wanted to take Chunni with him, but Chunni knew that that such an occasion was not suitable for her. And I'm pregnant, so it's really not suitable for playing outside. When Fang Zi'an heard this, he had no choice but to give up.

Because Shen Ling'er was helping by Qin Xiqing's side these days, Fang Zi'an went out alone. He went to Shi Mansion to pick up Shi Ningyue first, and then the two went by car together. The carriage walked on the street leading to the Qingbo Gate, but the streets were crowded with people, the lanterns were shining, and it was very lively.

There are lantern festivals on several main streets tonight, and the people will come out to visit the lantern festival and play lantern riddles after dinner. There are also dragon lantern dances, lion tricks in the market, major commercial houses and rich houses have separate programs, free of charge for the people to eat, drink and reward money, etc., so the streets are extremely lively.

Shi Ningyue was very happy, looking at the sea of people on the street, holding Fang Zi'an's hand like a child happily. For her, it's rare to get out and play alone. Shi Hao and Mrs. Shi would never have allowed her to do this before. Even today, it was because Shi Hao was going to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet set by the emperor tonight, so she was able to make the trip. Otherwise, even if Fang Zi'an accompanied him and Qin Xiqing invited him, Shi Hao would not allow it.

Therefore, Shi Ningyue did not tell Shi Hao about the invitation, but hid it from Shi Hao. Shi Ningyue is very smart, she knows that officials above the sixth level in Beijing have to enter the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet given by the emperor on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she concealed this matter. As for Mrs. Shi, Shi Ningyue was coquettish and begged, and she would naturally agree with a soft heart.

The carriage walked slowly, and it took more than half an hour to leave the Qingbo Gate and come to the shore of the West Lake. However, there are no fewer people visiting the West Lake than the people on the streets of the city. On the surface of the lake, the same colorful lights flickered, more than a dozen bright red boats slowly cruised on the lake, and countless canoe boats floated on the lake, and the sound of laughter and singing was heard in the distance, which was fascinating. On the Su Causeway in the distance, it is the lamp like a long dragon, and the visitors are like weaving, brilliant and splendid. From a distance, the shadow of the lights is reflected in the lake, the arched bridge is like neon, and the lanterns are like the sea of stars, which is beautiful.

Tonight, the entire Lin'an City seems to be all dispatched, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night of carnival.

Because there were too many pedestrians, the carriage was moving too slowly. Fang Zi'an and Shi Ningyue simply got out of the car and walked there. Like an ordinary couple, the two of them secretly held hands and walked along the south bank of West Lake in the direction of Su Causeway. There are so many snacks and fruits on the road that Shi Ningyue is full of interest, buy some this, buy some that, and never get tired of it.

Finally, the two came to the bottom of the Guanlan Bridge on the Su Causeway. At the end of the long stone staircase under the bridge, a tall red boat is moored on the shore. The lanterns on the ship are hung high, and people come and go. Many richly dressed people shook folding fans and walked down the steps in square steps, onto the wide gangplank. The steward of Wanchun Garden, who welcomed the guests, sang and shouted the identity of the comer, and immediately someone stepped forward to lead the person into the brightly lit ship hall. x

Many people standing on the bridgehead and embankment looked at all this with envious eyes, they were all people who came to admire it, knowing that Qin Xiqing's Mid-Autumn Festival New Song Meeting was held here tonight, but there was no invitation, so they could only stand here and look at each other from afar.

Fang Zi'an and Shi Ningyue slowly walked down the stone steps and came to the dock. The man standing at the bow of the boat checking the invitation saw Fang Zi'an, smiled and arched his hand: "Young Master Fang, you are here." ”

Fang Zi'an looked at it intently and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Steward Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

That person was Li Quanzhong, the steward of Wanchun Garden. The last time Fang Zi'an saw him, it was that time when he broke into Wanchun Garden to find Qin Xiqing to sell words, and as a result, he fell out with Li Quanzhong and fought with several nurses.

Li Quanzhong laughed and said, "Yes, it's been a long time." Fang Gongzi is amazing now, and the imperial examination high school is different from the past. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "That's it, didn't I tell you that I will be in the phase in the future, is it right to be so small at the moment, Manager Li, don't forget that when you went to me last year, I will kowtow to me and apologize when I will enter the phase one day." Hahaha. ”

Li Quanzhong looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, when he accompanied Qin Xiqing to Fang Zi'an's house in Sanyuanfang, he saw that Fang Zi'an's house was dilapidated, and he ridiculed a few words. At that time, I did have such a conversation with Fang Zi'an. I didn't expect Fang Zi'an to remember this.

Li Quanzhong laughed dryly and said, "Fang Gongzi has a really good memory. ”

"Hahaha, joking, just kidding. Li is in charge, don't care. Fang Zi'an laughed.

While talking, Fang Zi'an and Shi Ningyue got on the bow of the boat and handed over the invitation. Li Quanzhong glanced at it, looking at Fang Zi'an and Shi Ningyue's intimate appearance, a little surprised. I moved my mouth to ask something, but I didn't ask. Cough and sing loudly.

"Xinke Tanhualang, Lord An Fang, the official son of the Yamen Defense Corner of the Lin'an Defense Army, has arrived!"

"Dr. Guozijian, the servant of the imperial history, Miss Shi Ningyue, the daughter of Shi Haoshi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, has arrived!"

The two maidservants who greeted the guests hurriedly stepped forward, and Li Quanzhong smiled and said, "Young Master Fang, Miss Shi, please sit inside." The new song will start soon. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded, and walked towards the ship hall with Shi Ningyue. The waiter at the door lifted the bead curtain, and Fang Zi'an and Shi Ningyue walked into the boat hall. There were already a lot of people inside, and as soon as the two of them came in, all kinds of eyes shot at each other, and they had already heard the sound of singing outside. Fang Zi'an didn't care, Shi Ningyue hid behind Fang Zi'an, a little unaccustomed to such a situation. Indeed, there are quite a few people staring at her.

"Young Master Fang is polite!"

"Lord Fang is polite!"

Many people stood up and bowed to Fang Zi'an. Today is different from the past, last year's new song meeting, Fang Zi'an used no name to come, and no one paid attention to it when he came, and later learned that he lived in a slum like Sanyuanfang, which attracted a burst of ridicule and ridicule. Today, that's no longer what it used to be.

Fang Zi'an bowed his hand to those people and returned the salute again and again, and someone in the first row stood up and said, "Young Master Fang, sit here." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and thanked him, and led Shi Ningyue to sit down at the table in the first row. He no longer has to be driven to a corner to sit like he did last year.

"Fang Gongzi, since last year's new song meeting, Fang Gongzi doesn't seem to have any new words coming out, and I'm looking forward to it. This year, there must be your new words in Qin's new songs. Someone asked aloud.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Is there any, I'll know later, let me sell it." ”

The others laughed: "That's it." I don't know what kind of masterpiece Fang Gongzi has come up with. As soon as everyone Qin sings, it must be popular for a long time. ”

Fang Zi'an said with a smile: "Where is it, in fact, it's not that I write words well, it's mainly that Qin people sing well." The singing skills of the Qin family are just an ordinary little word, and they must be able to sweep the capital. ”x

A thin-looking middle-aged man smiled and said, "Look, how good Lord Fang is. No wonder everyone in Qin looked at it differently. ”

Everyone on the seat turned their heads and looked at the man who spoke: "Qi Danian, what do you mean by this?"

Qi Danian smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just say it casually." It's just that the Qin family's preference for Lord Fang's words means. If you are nervous, even if you care, that bite of swan meat will not fall into your mouth. ”

Someone shouted: "Qi Danian, are you scolding us for being a toad?"

Qi Danian smiled: "I'm scolding myself." I, Qi Danian, am also one of the toads, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Fang Zi'an listened to this person's yin and yang strange words, and was a little suspicious in his heart. It is said that the people who came to participate in the new music party tonight are all loyal fans of Qin Xiqing, how can there be such a yin and yang person. It's kind of weird. But it is inconvenient to theorize at this moment, otherwise it would be inappropriate. The relationship between himself and Qin Xiqing has not been made public, which is actually the reason why Qin Xiqing is still loved by these people. So don't pay attention to this man's words. However, this person obviously has something to say, could it be that he knows something, it is not that he has been in contact with Qin Xiqing too often, and he has been discovered by others

Several more people came in one after another, and the hall was already full of people. On the wooden ladder leading to the second-floor boat in front, someone came, but it was Shen Ling'er. Shen Ling'er is wearing an emerald green skirt today, delicate and lovely. Coupled with her beautiful face, everyone's eyes lit up when she came down.

Fang Zi'an looked at Shen Ling'er with some pride in his heart, and said in his heart: This is my woman.

Shen Ling'er's gaze swept over Fang Zi'an and Shi Ningyue, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and after scanning the audience, she said in a generous and coquettish voice: "You have been waiting for a long time." Miss Qin asked me if everyone was here, and the new song party would begin. ”

"It's all here, let's start quickly, I can't wait."

"yes, it's time to start. The moon has risen, and whoever does not come is his own loss, and no one else is to blame. Don't wait. ”

Everyone in the audience said.

Shen Ling'er looked out the long window, and a bright moon was indeed hanging in the eastern sky, so she nodded and said, "It's indeed time, so you guys wait, I'll go and ask the girl to come down." ”

Shen Ling'er threw a glance at Fang Zi'an, turned around and walked up the stairs. Everyone immediately sat upright, waiting for Qin Xiqing's arrival.

"This Ling'er girl seems to have changed a lot." Shi Ningyue whispered in Fang Zi'an's ear.

Fang Zi'an smiled and said softly: "Oh, where has changed"

Shi Ningyue said in a low voice: "When I looked at her before, I always felt that she had a strange feeling on her, which was very sharp. Now I don't feel that way anymore, I feel more gentle. ”

"Gentle" Fang Zi'an almost laughed out loud. Heart: Ling'er is gentle, then there is no gentle person in the world. She kills people, she is more ruthless than herself, and some people actually say that she is gentle. However, Shen Ling'er has indeed changed a lot, Shi Ningyue's heart is as careful as hair, and she should have felt the change.

Footsteps sounded, and the hem of a moon-white openwork dress came into view at the corner of the stairs. Everyone in the ship hall held their breath and stared at the staircase, and as the man slowly walked down the stairs, a perfect figure appeared in front of everyone. Qin Xiqing held the pipa in her arms, like Chang'e descending from the moon in the middle of the moon, standing in front of the ship hall.

"Xiqing has seen everyone!" The red lips opened lightly, and Qin Xiqing saluted.

Everyone hurriedly stood up, bowed their hands back, their eyes straightened, and said in unison: "Everyone Qin is polite." ”div
