In February, swallows fly low, weeping willows sprout, and weeded grasses that have been burned by wildfires have a tendency to sprout.

Winter has just passed, and it is in a season of alternation, winter is not winter, spring is not spring, this season is the most annoying, the weather difference between morning and evening, not to mention the rain and wind may force people to put on the heavy clothes that have just been taken off in the afternoon.

Of course, every winter enters spring, autumn enters winter, it is a very unfriendly season for Mo Yanxi, no, there was just a heavy rain yesterday, damp and cold, and the charcoal stove was stopped in the house. Mo Yanxi got the wind chill again. After lying in bed for several days, I finally had a good weather, and I felt a lot more energetic.

The sun had just come in a dim glow through the window. Ying Niang hurriedly walked in, frowned and said, "It's too bad now, your illness has only improved in the past few days, so Han Jiuye asked you to go out to participate in some deer antler feast." ”

When Mo Yanxi heard this, his eyes lit up, he put down the travelogue that he had turned over several times, and stretched his waist: "What's this, the weather is good today, it's always stuffy in the house like this, how can the disease get better quickly, go out for a walk and see, this mood is comfortable, people are also in good spirits, and the illness will naturally be cured." ”

Seeing Mo Yanxi so relaxed, Ying Niang couldn't help but sigh: "This weather is not as good as before, it has been several days in a row, and it looks clear and cloudless, but it doesn't take long for the sky to change immediately, it's either rain or wind, I'm afraid your body can't stand it." ”

Mo Yanxi refused to admit defeat, lifted the quilt and walked down from the bed lightly, and then stretched a big lazy waist in the face of the rising sun, and smiled: "Look at me now, I can walk and move, eat and sleep, where are I still sick, besides, look at the weather, there is no wind and no clouds, it doesn't look like it will rain and blow, don't worry, I'll come back in the afternoon now, just take advantage of the sun, warm, there will be nothing." ”

Ying Niang knew that she couldn't say anything about Mo Yanxi, not to mention that since Han Jiuye came to invite, it was naturally an important matter, and Mo Yanxi still ordered two days ago, even if she was very sick, no matter what, if there was a summons in the front yard, she had to be notified.

"You wait, when Xiangxue gets the news, she will go to the small stove room to pour soup for you, and when you wait for a while, you will pick a thick cloak to wear, and quickly put it on when it is cold. I still have to find Fan and Nan Ke and explain to them, the two of them, one jumps off like a rabbit, and the other is cold like a piece of wood that can't move, I really don't feel at ease. ”

"Although... But... What you said is really appropriate, the two of them are not, I really don't know how to stick together, like sisters. ”

Mo Yanxi raised his eyebrows, and immediately recalled the two people in his mind, one didn't speak, and the other talked too much, if only he could neutralize it.

"The two of them are together, most of the time Nan Ke said, the fan obediently does, she is really used to Nan Ke, now there is Mingsang and there is a fan, I think this little clever ghost's tail can be cocked to the sky."

Sakura Niang said with a smile while sorting out the clothes that Mo Yanxi was going to wear later.

Mo Yanxi nodded, very much agreed.

At five o'clock, the city was already bustling with activity, and almost every day new caravans came in with new gadgets.

Mo Yanxi cleaned up and went to the front yard with Nan Ke to meet the two of them.

In February, after a winter's silence, everything recovered, and the beasts in the mountains and forests became more and more ordinary.

And this deer antler feast is to take the newborn and young deer cubs in the mountain stream, eat raw meat, and drink fresh fawn blood. Finally, the deerskin is hung on a longevity tree. It means that all things are born in the heart, praying for peace and smoothness.

Nan Ke sat in the carriage and quietly listened to Su Changfeng's dancing and talking, and instantly felt a surge in his stomach and intestines, and the white rice cake he had just eaten was in his throat.

"This is too cruel, isn't it, a newborn fawn, eating raw meat? Drink blood, don't they feel cruel? Not to mention raw meat, can you eat it? ”

Nan Ke said with a calm face, and he could already imagine that image in his mind.

Su Changfeng said with a smile: "Who knows, I don't know when this habit started, anyway, I heard that every town in the west will hold a deer antler feast, and some places do not rely on mountains and forests, so they raise funds, spend time and money to buy deer from other places, and wait until the deer antler feast releases the deer and eats them alive." ”

As they spoke, they all felt a chill in their hearts, and considering that everyone had just had breakfast, everyone stopped talking and said nothing.

The carriage soon left the city gate and headed out into the woods on the outskirts.

Mo Yanxi was holding Tang Pozi in her hands, wearing a cloak, and wrapping herself tightly, she had to admire Ying Niang for being like a god and well prepared.

The closer you get to the forest, the colder it gets, the more humid and gloomy it becomes, and it smells like winter. Thanks to the thickness of the clothes I wear.

Yuan Huaisheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mo Yanxi, and snorted coldly: "It seems that you are not only weak and sick, but also expensive and delicate." I heard that your old illness recurred two days ago? ”

Mo Yanxi owed slightly: "Thank you Jiu Ye for worrying, it's some old problems, I have also adjusted it before, but it seems to be useless, wait a few days, I think I will be able to get better." ”

When Yuan Huaisheng heard this, he didn't say much, but he had another plan in his heart.

Less than three quarters of an hour later, the carriage passed through the bumpy and rugged mountain road, and finally arrived at the place where the deer antler feast was held.

Ci Lu City suburbs to the west on the road of thirty or forty miles, is a nameless deep mountain, once nothing was nothing, but since the beginning of the deer antler feast, here has built a pavilion courtyard, its name is called Fenghuatai, I heard that it is the word mentioned by the ancestors of Mr. Hong in the calligraphy family palace in Cilu City. It has been used to this day.

Near the periphery of Fenghuadai, you can already hear the voices of people talking everywhere. It's quite noisy, and there should be a lot of people coming.

Mo Yanxi and the others got out of the carriage and entered Fenghuatai amid the discussion of everyone.

Everyone's eyes followed Mo Yanxi closely, and most of the girls were shy talking about Yuan Huaisheng and Su Changqing. The three of them are absolutely outstanding in the crowd, standing out from the crowd. As for some others, they are all talking about Mo Yanxi, after all, at this time, few people will wear such thick clothes.

Passing through the stone gate, the space inside is quite large, although it is not comparable to the place in Cilu City, it can be regarded as a small sparrow, and it has all kinds of organs.

A few feet further in, there was another official on the side of the road to check the invitation.

In the past, in fact, the deer antler banquet was open, whether it was a dignitary or a common person, as long as they wanted to go. It's just that I don't know when it started, the deer antler banquet changed its taste, and those who could come to participate were some imperial power and wealth.

Muraichi handed over the invitation, and after the official took a look, he accepted the invitation and respectfully invited a few people in.

Only then did Mo Yanxi find that there were already a lot of splendid invitations on the long table behind this person.

After entering, Nan Ke walked to the left and glanced at it several times, then pushed Su Changfeng on the side and asked, "Where did you make this invitation, I saw that the needlework decoration was exactly the same as the real one." ”

Su Changfeng stroked his hair proudly: "Do it?" Do we still need to do it? This thing is from the Zhizhou Mansion, and we just borrowed it a little. ”

Nan Ke suddenly realized that this thing was snatched by these people, and as for its real owner, he was sleeping with his little daughter-in-law in his arms at the moment.

A few people passed through the round hole partition door, and finally arrived at the main hall where the guests were entertained.

Since Ling Tian took office, he personally organized the annual deer antler banquet. In order to make it easier to wade, half of the hill near the town was walled, leaving only a passable path.

There are already a lot of people in the main hall, and looking at the clothes and accessories, they should all be big families.

And sitting on the main seat was the Lord of the Governor of Lu City, Ling Tian. Sure enough, as everyone said, Ling Tian was very young, his face was white, and although he didn't look like a celestial person, he was also a delicate person, and the elegance on his body naturally revealed. He had no beard on his face at all, and he was dressed plainly, which was really out of place compared to the people sitting there.

A few people walked in, and the cheerful atmosphere in the main hall immediately dissipated, perhaps because they were not from Cilu City, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

Su Changqing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted slightly, and then said to the people on the main seat: "Lord Huizhizhou, a few of our distant relatives of Zhou Zhenjiang have always heard that Lucheng has beautiful scenery, and they specially came here to play with their brothers and sisters. The invitation has been handed over to the official at the door. ”

Ling Tian listened, looked at everyone for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Since Lord Zhou is sick, it is only natural to send you here, it's just a banquet, not so much exquisite, a few young ladies don't know where they come from, they all look like some heavenly people, they must be extraordinary." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Huaisheng had already found a place to sit down. Even though he was so far away from those people, there were still many naked eyes staring at him. Especially some rich ladies, their eyes are almost on Yuan Huaisheng. Of course, Su Changfeng is also treated like this.

Su Changqing still replied unhurriedly: "A few of us were originally from Fallen Leaf City, and we went to the Liu family in Baidi City to celebrate the birthday of the old man Liu a few years ago, and met several people from the water town in the Liu family. ”

Speaking of the Liu family, Ling Tian narrowed his eyes, and everyone also changed their expressions. already knew that everyone was afraid that it would be extraordinary, so he immediately closed his eyes and stopped gossiping.

"I didn't expect you to have some intersection with the Liu family, the Liu family is the family of Confucianism in the world, and there are many colleagues from the Liu Family Academy, and Mr. Liu is a big figure in our eyes. Take your seats. Don't stand still. ”
