Forty-seven, the night banquet

At the end of the month, there is no moon, but the stars in the sky are still shining, and under this little starlight, the entire Fushan Courtyard is dyed with a layer of fantasy and real color.

Luoxiatai is located in the southeast corner of Fushan Courtyard, which is brightly lit at the moment, and the maids and servants are busy arranging the table and wine and food in and out. Fushan Courtyard has always been pure, and it is rare to have such an opportunity today, and some of the disciples who came early got together in twos and threes and chatted very lively.

Zhuo Xi rejected the gorgeous dress that Ping'er brought over, and changed into a lilac dress; Because she was not yet at the age of Jilu, she asked Pan'er to comb her two weeping buns. This outfit suddenly looks fresh and refined, smart and well-behaved, but somewhat childish.

When Zhuo Xi arrived, Mr. Hong'an's disciples were almost there. Zhuo Xi looked at the people who were talking to Zhenghuan, and sighed secretly: "I didn't expect Mr. Hong'an to have so many disciples here, why haven't you met them on weekdays?" So he took the two maids and found a secluded place to sit down.

was looking left and right, suddenly heard a little noise at the door, turned his head to see that so many disciples were shouting at the door of the hall, but when he saw a person walking in at the door of the hall, Zhuo Xi looked at it and suddenly felt his eyes light up.

The willow eyebrows are beautiful, the red eyes are cold, the nose is like a hanging gall, the mouth is like a red cherry, and the already delicate facial features are even more exquisite. The ring bun is high and straight, the willow is weak and the waist is slender, and the white skirt is flying lightly, like a fairy flying in the middle of the moon.

No wonder these disciples have a lot of color in their eyes, they are indeed an ultimate beauty! Zhuo Xi secretly admired, and when he saw the maid behind the woman, he was stunned again, so ...... Where do you think you've seen it?

Among the disciples, those who didn't know this beautiful woman were asking around, and some wanted to come forward to talk, but they were shocked by the woman's cold and arrogant demeanor with her head and neck held high and her eyes not squinting.

In the amazement, admiration, and jealousy of all kinds of complicated eyes, the woman walked all the way to the table in the first row on the right and sat down.

Pan'er leaned down and whispered to Zhuo Xi: "Girl, this is Miss Wantang, she is the first woman to take up a post in Fushan Courtyard, and she is the chief teacher of music and dance in the entire Ninglu Hall. ”

Zhuo Xi nodded lightly and asked, "Where is the maid behind her?" ”

Servant girl? Pan'er is a little messy, other people's attention is on this beautiful Wantang girl, but her own girl pays attention to other people's maids.

"Her name is Eru, she is from Daye, not far from my hometown, and she can be regarded as a fellow villager, why did the girl think of asking this?" Pan'er asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just think she's a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while..."Zhuo Xi said thoughtfully.

Daye should be regarded as the northernmost border city of Wei, and the place where they are now is almost the southernmost part of Wei. Zhuo Xi didn't know the situation there, but he had heard his father mention it before, because Daye was close to Zhao and Qi, and there had been constant wars in recent years.

Zhuo Xi suddenly felt a little sad, these two maids were younger than herself, and they were displaced from the northernmost to the southernmost side, I really don't know how they survived.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Wan Tang, a somewhat old but still energetic voice sounded at the door of the hall: "Mr. Hong'an has arrived!" I saw Tong Bo bow down and appear at the door of the hall.

Everyone hurriedly returned to their places, straightened their clothes, and stood with their hands down, staring at the gate.

"Haha, everyone has arrived, it seems that the old decay is late!" With a hearty laugh, Mr. Hongan strode in.

Mr. Hong'an was dressed in a brown robe, his face was ruddy, and he was full of energy, and he bowed his head slightly when he saw the disciples. A white-haired woman followed closely behind, with sharp eyes and a calm demeanor. Some of the disciples recognized the old woman as the Wuyi Guzu and also saluted her respectfully. Zhuo Xi naturally knew Aunt Wuyi, and also got up to salute, and Aunt Wuyi nodded slightly at her in response.

Walking to the main seat, Mr. Hongan turned around and bowed his hand to Wuyi Guzu, and said respectfully: "Guzu, please!" ”

Wuyi Guzu returned the salute and said: "Courteous, Mr. Hongan, please!" Afterwards, the two took their seats.

All the disciples stood up and bowed and said in unison, "Mr. Hong'an is well!" Aunt Wu Yi is well! ”

"Haha, sit down." Mr. Hongan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take their seats, "Today is the day for our Fushan Academy disciples to gather, so you don't have to be restrained. It just so happened that Aunt Wuyi also returned from traveling, and today we came together to participate in our monthly gathering. ”

Moon gathering, it turns out that this is the day when the disciples of Fushan Temple gather every month.

"It's a pity that Han Zhuo isn't here, oh, why hasn't Lanyang arrived?" Mr. Hongan glanced around and asked with some puzzlement. Lan Yang has always acted thoughtfully and meticulously, how can he be late as a senior disciple on this occasion?

"The disciple is late, and I ask the master to atone for his sins!" A pleasant, gentle voice came from the door, and everyone looked towards the door.

Lan Yang, dressed in white, appeared at the door handsomely, followed by two maids holding tea trays. Zhuo Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, not because of Lan Yang, but because of the maid behind Lan Yang, one of them was Liu Yuzhen!

Lan Yang walked towards Mr. Hong'an, greeted the two elders and continued, "The disciple heard that Biyunsi had just entered a batch of new tea, so he went to ask for some to invite Master and Gu Zu to taste. ”

"Or do you have a heart, hehe!" Mr. Hongan stroked his beard with one hand, nodded and smiled.

The position of Lanyang standing is just opposite to Wan Tang's seat, one is handsome and extraordinary, the other is elegant and cold, and he has become a golden boy and girl in the eyes of everyone.

When Wan Tang saw Lan Yang, there was a hint of warmth in his cold and arrogant eyes. But Lan Yang just nodded to her politely, and his eyes didn't linger on her too much, which made Wan Tang feel a little lost in his heart.

And Zhuo Xi's eyes have been following Liu Yuzhen, watching her make tea and serve tea to everyone, and a whole set of movements is as smooth as flowing water. Zhuo Xi was eager to know how Liu Yuzhen was doing recently, and whether her wind chill had healed? Has the stasis receded? Tired every day? Has anyone bullied her...... For a moment, Zhuo Xi almost couldn't hold back and was about to rush up and take Liu Yuzhen's hand to take a good look at her......

Perhaps feeling Zhuo Xi's fiery gaze, when Liu Yuzhen was about to leave the hall, she glanced at Zhuo Xi slightly, which made Zhuo Xi almost cry out.

Liu Yuzhen has lost a lot of weight, but the previous sadness and anxiety are completely invisible on her face, and her eyes are full of determination and indifference. Seeing Zhuo Xi's expressions and concerned eyes, Liu Yuzhen smiled at her and withdrew.

Next, the disciples reported on the results of their collection and circulation of minor tunes and folk songs in various places. It turns out that these disciples are not usually in Fushan Courtyard, but travel all over the world, unless it is a war-prone area that requires people from Ninglutang to go there, but wherever there is peace, Mr. Hongan personally sends people there. No wonder you can't see so many people in Fushan Courtyard on weekdays, Zhuo Xi thought to himself.

After listening to the conversation between Mr. Hong'an and the disciples, Zhuo Xi realized that these disciples were all disciples of the "Hongzheng School" created by Mr. Hong'an, and they only obeyed Mr. Hong'an's orders, and were not subject to Ninglu Hall, and Fushan Temple was just one of the places where the disciples of the Hongzheng School gathered. However, he can only be regarded as serving in Fushan Academy, and he is not a disciple of the Hongzheng faction, so he is an "outsider" in this monthly gathering, but why let himself participate? Zhuo Xi was very strange.

"Most of these folk songs and minor tunes are the emotional summaries accumulated by the local people for a long time, and each place has different characteristics. It's just that the language is different from place to place, so it's difficult to circulate. Then we must be sure to clarify the original meaning of each ballad, and then record it in writing, so that it can be easily circulated. After listening to the reports of the disciples, Mr. Hongan said solemnly.

Then, Mr. Hongan looked at Lan Yang and said, "Lan Yang's burden is not light, these songs you have collected must be summarized and sorted by Lan Yang before they can be compiled into a book." However, recently, I have another talented member of Fushan Academy, and I can share some of the burden for Lanyang in the future. ”

As he spoke, Mr. Hongan looked at Zhuo Xi's position again and said, "Zhuo Xi, I've come to see all the brothers!" ”

Zhuo Xi got up and saluted everyone: "Zhuo Xi is polite!" ”

Only then did everyone notice Zhuo Xi in the corner. Because of Wan Tang's comparison, Zhuo Xi can only be regarded as delicate, which is really inconspicuous, but everyone still bows to her very politely. And Wan Tang is disdainful, such a plain little woman can compare with me!

Mr. Hongan looked at Wuyi Guzu and said inquiringly: "I heard that Guzu's divination technique has now entered the realm, I wonder if you are interested in divining a fortune for this girl?" ”

It turns out that Wuyi Guzu not only has a set of important methods for body examination, but also is very proficient in divination.

Divination? Zhuo Xi is not interested in this, he can't control the future, how can others calculate accurately?

Wuyi Guzu smiled and said, "Life is also, time is also." There are certain numbers, but there are also variables. The fixed number is irresistible, and if you have a heart, you can win the sky! ”

Zhuo Xi understood these words, people's fate is directly related to the environment and times in which they live, there are some unchangeable things in fate, but there are also many things that can be changed through their own changes.

Ordinary women look expectant when they hear divination, and they want to know what their future holds, but Zhuo Xi is calm and contemplative. Recalling the incident in the body examination hall, I feel that this little girl is not only courageous but also assertive, which makes Aunt Wu Yi a little interested, and I also want to know more about what kind of person this little girl is who is more calm than women of the same age.

Mr. Hongan smiled and said to Zhuo Xi: "What, are you interested in asking your aunt to make a fortune for you?" ”

Zhuo Xi got up and replied: "But it's up to Mr. to decide!" Although she was not very interested in divination, she did not want to spoil Mr. Hongan's mood.

"Well, okay, it's just that it's too troublesome to occupy things, so it's better to occupy things." Wuyi Guzu smiled and nodded.

"What is possession?" Lan Yang asked with some curiosity.
