A faint golden light had just appeared in the sky, and the red silk on the mountains in the distance fluttered back and forth with the wind, looking like a dragon that was tied to the tail of a dragon and struggled wildly from a distance.

Last night, a batch of dew-leaf golden chrysanthemums were brought in from outside the city, and they entered the willow house in Feijing Lane just after dawn.

On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, the Chung Yeung Festival will be held in a few days. Chrysanthemum climbing, I don't know what kind of lively scene it will be.

A loud and heavy bell rang, faintly whispering drifted over, I heard that Liu Lingzhi invited the monks of the Fenglei Temple outside the city to sing the prayer scriptures, and the holy words of the Buddhist scriptures were transmitted into the Hundred Emperors City by the wind.

The gates were wide open at the end of the day, and everything was ready for the feast to begin.

At that time, the Liu family was already lively, all the people in the Liu family wore a moon-white light gauze robe, embroidered a few willow leaves with silver and white double threads, the men in the family all used green jade to tie their hair, and the girls and women all brought green jade silver hairpins, and simply braided a bun. I heard that this is the daily dress of the middle school students of Liujia Academy, Liu Qing has been reading books all his life, and the proudest thing is that the academy that has been passed down from his ancestors and is still prosperous in his generation.

The guests from all over Yuanling had already arrived one after another, and the Liu family specially sent people to wait outside the house, one person per zhang, and the distance was more than ten zhang. And two large gardens have also been set aside in the house to entertain guests. Because of the Liu family's most important ceremony, the number of ceremonies for men and women to sit separately is still continued here.

Mo Yanxi got up early, and finally changed into a strong outfit, wearing a light cyan tunic skirt, and only the cuffs and neckline were embroidered with gold and silver threads with some vivid golden chrysanthemums. Xiangxue specially braided a simple, light and graceful bun, and hung a few clusters of pearl jade hairpins.

Liu Qinghang likes to be clean, although it is his 80th birthday, he has not invited anyone, and most of the guests come by themselves.

After packing up, Mo Yanxi and his entourage of four first went to Chuanshi Lane to find Yuan Huaisheng and them to meet.

When they arrived, Yuan Huaisheng and the others were already waiting at the door, Mo Yanxi glanced at it from a distance, and saw that Yuan Huaisheng was also wearing a light cyan robe today, and there were some golden chrysanthemums embroidered on it.

"Because the Liu family has a lot of gifts, so we specially prepared two carriages, we took Mingsang, you go directly to Miss Liu, you know her, and you can say a few words, it won't be too boring."

Su Changqing said as he walked to a carriage and lifted the curtain for a few people.

Mo Yanxi bowed slightly and thanked Su Changqing, and then motioned to Ying Niang to hand over the pear blossom wooden box in her hand to Tang Mingsang, and said: "You take this, go and hand it over to the Liu family, although it is said that it is by the east wind of others, but the etiquette cannot be lost." ”

Tang Mingsang held it with both hands: "Knowing Miss, Mingsang is definitely not losing the face of the Mo family." ”

Everyone got into the carriage and headed towards Feijing Alley.

Yoo Ling-sik was talking to several older seniors in the main hall. After hearing the news, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words next to Liu Qinghang's ear.

Liu Qing straightened his sleeves, got up and said, "Let's go to the outer hall to greet you." ”

Several people present were stunned, and then got up and followed Liu Qinghang out of the willow hall.

Three quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Liu's house, and Yuan Huaisheng and his party got out of the car and saw that Liu Tangyue was already waiting here.

Entering the willow house, standing in front of Liu Qinghang.

Yuan Huaisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward in three or two steps, and saluted: "Let's go in, how can Mr. greet him personally?" Today is your birthday, but I am a student. ”

Behind him, Mo Yanxi and the others hurriedly stepped forward, and also saluted Liu Qing and congratulated him.

Liu Qing wanted to return the gift, but his hand was firmly dragged by Yuan Huaisheng, so he had to smile and say: "Although it is a birthday, in Yuanling, the number of gifts cannot be lost." ”

"I'm not a king, you're not a minister, this ceremony should be my line, let's go in, come today, the students want to have a few drinks with you."

After speaking, Yuan Huaisheng led Liu Qing back to Liutang.

Liu Lingzhi hurriedly smiled at the rest of the people and said, "Everyone, you have worked hard, Tang Yue, you take Miss Mo and a few people to the Shattered Garden, and I will take a few sons to the Zhengming Garden to sit down." ”

"Tang Yue understands, Miss Mo, let's go."

Mo Yanxi gave Tang Mingsang a look, and he followed Liu Tangyue to the Shattered Garden.

Tang Mingsang stepped forward and handed over the pear blossom wooden box in his hand, and said: "Mr. Liu, I came uninvited, but today I bothered, this is a little bit of our host's heart, I heard that Mr. Liu suffers from head disease, so he specially selected some newly made spices, which contain herbs that can alleviate the symptoms." Maybe it helps. ”

Liu Lingzhi listened, quickly put it away with both hands and took a look, and handed it to the waiter who was waiting on the side: "Miss Mo is bothered, the incense of drunken ten miles is famous far and wide, and my father also likes it very much, and he will buy some back on weekdays. ”

"It's also a coincidence, a few days ago, I got a piece of thousand-year-old cold jade, which can relieve the heat and dryness of the summer, and with the incense of drunken ten miles, I think this head disease will get better a lot."

Su Changqing said, motioning to Muraichi to hand Hanyu to another attendant next to Liu Lingzhi.

"This cold jade is already precious, and the thousand-year-old cold jade is even more rare in the world, so Ling Zhi has thanked the two sons of the Su family and the drunken ten miles of the owner here. At this time, the guests have also arrived, and a few sons and I will go to Zhengming Garden for a few drinks. ”

Su Changqing nodded, and then raised his eyebrows at Muraichi. As soon as the village went to the Shattered Garden, he didn't go in, and found a hidden tree to wait.

In the Broken Garden, there are many female dependents, each in groups of three or five talking and laughing.

Nan Ke looked forward, his eyes froze, and then he came to Mo Yanxi and said, "Miss, don't you see that Miss Wuzong who fell into the well in the Fallen Leaf City?" ”

Mo Yanxi followed Nan Kede's gaze, and sure enough, he saw Chi Lian Zi. She wore a big red dress today, dressed in a flamboyant manner, which was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

"Wu Zong is entrenched in the mountains outside the Hundred Emperor City, these years, but whenever it is grandpa's birthday, Wu Zong will definitely come."

Liu Tangyue looked at Chi Lian Zi, who was chatting with other female relatives, and explained to Mo Yanxi and the others.

Chi Lian Zi seemed to feel the gaze, turned his head, looked at everyone with a bright smile, and then walked over and eagerly took Liu Tangyue's hand.

"Tang Yue, where did you go just now, I've been here for a long time, why haven't I seen you."

"Miss Chilian is a regular guest of the Liu family, and you know almost all the guests of the Liu family, what are you looking for me?"

Liu Tangyue said, gently pulling her hand back, with a faint smile on her face.

Seeing this, Chi Lian Zi smiled even more: "Of course I asked you to take me to have a good visit, but I haven't been here for a year, and the Liu family has changed a lot." ”

Liu Tangyue owes herself: "I'm afraid I won't have a chance today, so my uncle and grandfather specially asked me to accompany Miss Mo." ”

Speaking of Mo Yanxi, Chi Lian Zi turned his head at this time, looked at the person in front of him, looked his eyes up and down several times, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen her for half a month, Miss Mo looks more bright and bright, when she was in Fallen Leaf City, she only glanced at it a few times, but she didn't expect to meet here again today, and the guest of the Liu family is not so easy to be." ”

This person is not good, and he is also smiling and hiding a knife in his words.

"Where is the guest who sits on it, but I am fortunate to borrow the east wind, come to the Liu family to see the demeanor of Mr. Liu, and ask for a few glasses of good wine to drink, it is not as good as the Chilian girl, I come every year, I think even the housekeeper remembers it."

When Liu Tangyue heard this, a fleeting smile flashed at the corner of her mouth. Mo Yanxi's words were openly and secretly sarcastic, and Chi Lian Zi had been here for so long, and he was just familiar with his face.

Chi Lian Zi naturally heard the meaning, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Miss Mo looks younger than me, more beautiful than me, and I don't know which powerful son she is with, this Feng family's marriage, the Liu family's birthday has not been missed, where can I compare." ”

"Naturally, after all, I heard that on the day when the Feng family was trapped by the heavy mountain road, the Chilian girl could retreat without anyone noticing, if she didn't have the ability to be strong, how could she be so quiet, it is said that afterwards, the Feng family turned the world upside down and searched for a long time in the Fallen Leaf City, and did not find the figure of the Chilian girl."

For a while, no one spoke, the wind and thunder surged, Chi Lian Zi squinted his eyes, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. It's just that Mo Yanxi is a person who doesn't suffer losses, and his face is fearless. Liu Tangyue touched her nose and saw that the two of them were tense, standing aside to watch the excitement.

After a while, Chi Lianzi suddenly laughed: "Miss Mo's kung fu is really unbeatable, I am fortunate to see it today, since it is Mr. Liu's birthday, he is a guest, I look at the chat with you, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?" ”

"This martial arts sect is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, I heard that I can dominate the eastern martial arts with the medicine saint Bai family, and the affairs of the Feng family, I have also heard about it, going back on his word, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, such a thing, I will never be able to do it."

Mo Yanxi was thinking about how to refuse, when a crisp voice suddenly came from the hexagonal pavilion on the side.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see a few strands of pale pink skirts and jet-black hair flowing in the wind. The person who spoke stood against the pillar, so tightly blocked by the pillar that he could not even see his full back.

"Who's coming? Don't you just dare to hide behind your back and talk about it secretly, and don't even dare to show your face? ”

Chi Lian Zi shook his hands, his face was as usual, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at the place.

When the man heard this, he snorted coldly, and then stretched out a hand, holding a snow-white three-foot long sword in his hand, the scabbard was embossed with white jade, and a silver bell hung from the hilt. The bell swings and makes a crisp sound.

Seeing the sword, Liu Tangyue immediately recognized it, raised her eyebrows, and said to herself:

"Is that her?"
