On the day that Linghua's letter was delivered to the capital, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is a banquet in the palace, and the banquet is light as usual, and today the banquet is light, and the brothers are lively in Yanyunfang.

During the banquet, Cheng Chu quietly asked Yan Qing, "Brother Yan, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will get married in ten days, right?" Is my sister-in-law coming back soon? ”

Yan glanced at him, "My wedding, what do you care?" ”

Cheng Chu: "......"

He's waiting for a drink!

He looked at Yan Qing, "Is my sister-in-law already on the way now?" ”

Yan shook his head lightly, "I don't know." ”

He really didn't know.

Ling Hua has been gone for a month and twenty days, and there has been no news, even His Majesty has not received a letter from her, and she has never written a letter to him, if it weren't for the people around him constantly reminding him, he wouldn't be able to remember the days so clearly, anyway, she has been gone long enough, if she didn't know that she has been in Jiangnan Caoyun, it would be like missing.

Cheng Chu looked at him, "Why don't you know anything?" ”

People who are about to get married, why don't they look like they are going to get married at all.

"What should I know?" Yan Qing pushed him away and emphasized, "I'm a gentleman." ”

Have you forgotten who he is?

Cheng Chu: "......"

Yes, you don't need to know anything, you just need to eat, drink and have fun, but you have to be concerned about marrying your own daughter-in-law, right? However, he looked at the banquet lightly, looked at his lazy and careless appearance, and remembered that he didn't want to marry a wife in the first place, and now it is not strange that he looks careless.

Halfway through the meal, Yunluo walked in from outside and said to Yan in a low voice, "Little Marquis, the master's letter." ”

The banquet drank lightly and slowly turned his head.

Yunluo handed him the letter, the letter was sealed with wax, no one had opened it, and the envelope was written with the words "Yan Qing Qinqi", and the handwriting was an excellent wild grass.

He put down the wine glass, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then slowly took the letter in Yunluo's hand, and then put it into his arms.

Yunluo: "......"

He asked, "Doesn't the little marquis read the letter?" ”

Cheng Chu said curiously on the side, "Is it a letter from my sister-in-law?" Why don't you look at it, Brother Yan? Open it up and take a look, what happened to Jiangnan Caoyun? ”

All the gentlemen pricked up their ears.

Yan lightly glanced at the crowd casually, "What's the hurry?" Drinking is important. ”

Yunluo silently retreated.

Cheng Chu sighed, "You just said that you don't want your brothers to know what your sister-in-law wrote to you." ”

What else does it matter to drink, what does it matter to drink?

Everyone has a gossip heart, and they all want to gossip about what happened to Ling Hua, who left Beijing and went to Jiangnan Caoyun for so long, and they will definitely talk to Yan Qing in the letter, but Yan Qing doesn't care about the letter, and everyone can only suppress the gossip heart.

In previous years, when the Mid-Autumn Festival was gathered, the gentlemen would make trouble until the middle of the moon.

Yan drank a lot, walked slowly, walked lightly, walked lightly, and when he walked out of Yanyunfang, the shopkeeper followed behind him, "It's so late, there is a guest room in the backyard of Yanyunfang, do you want to go back to the house, little marquis?" Just stay here for the night! ”

Yan shook his head lightly, "Don't stop, I can walk." ”

The shopkeeper could only say, "Then you go slowly." ”

Yan said "um", waved his hand to the shopkeeper, and went down the steps.

Yunluo carried a lamp, followed the banquet, and the two walked back to Duanjing Mansion together.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different from previous years, with dark clouds covering the moon and lanterns hanging from shops on both sides of the street, illuminating the entire street so brightly that the road surface is not dark at all.

Yan muttered lightly, "Why can't you see the moon today?" ”

Yunluo took his words, "The clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and the snow lights up on the fifteenth day of the first month." ”

"That's the way it goes." Yan Qing let out a "hmm".

Yunluo chatted with Yan Qing, and deliberately mentioned Ling Hua, the purpose was to make him think about reading the letter, and not to forget the letter in his arms after walking back to the house, "In previous years, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master didn't like to admire the moon. ”

"Oh? Why? Yan asked lightly.

Yunluo said, "The master didn't like to admire the moon when she was a child, because she felt that the moon was nothing to see, just a round plate, looking at it, it was just like a plate, and she was worried that the plate would fall and hit her head." ”

Yan Qing "fluttered" and was happy all of a sudden, "Is she so stupid?" ”

It turns out that she still has such a stupid time?

Yunluo nodded, "At that time, the master was three or four years old, and later the master grew up, so he didn't think so." ”

Yan walked forward slowly, "What did she look like when she was three or four years old?" ”

Yunluo shook his head, "My subordinates don't know, but according to the fourth son, when the master was a child, he was soft and jade-carved, so that he was worried that there would be thieves running to the Ling family to steal his sister, and he had to patrol around the courtyard wall of the Ling family every day to see if any thieves broke into the Ling family." ”

Banquet light: "......"

It turns out that the brother and sister have been as stupid since childhood.

Yunluo said, "Later, the third prince grew up and ran out to be a gentleman, first, he didn't want to study, and second, he felt that he could dominate the world's three religions and nine streams, and no thief would dare to steal his sister." ”

Yan Qing couldn't hold back, laughed out loud again, and commented, "It's not easy for the fourth uncle. ”

Yunluo also wanted to laugh, "Later, when the subordinates and others came to the master's side, the master told us during the Mid-Autumn Festival that she didn't like to admire the moon, and another reason was because of listening to the old saying, the clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and the snow lights on the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

"Over the years, the moon seems to be quite round in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, right? Only this year is an exception. Yan Qing recalled.

"Yes, it's been ten years." Yunluo looked at the dark clouds covering the moon in the sky, "If the master is not in a hurry this year, he must be very happy that on the fifteenth day of the first month next year, you can watch the snow and light up." ”

Yan Qing took out the letter from his bosom and said to Yunluo, "Bring the lamp over and come closer." ”

Yunluo knew that Yan Qing was going to read the letter, so he immediately stepped forward with a lamp to illuminate it.

Yan lightly opened the envelope, took out the letterhead from the inside, a thin one, he opened it to see, only to see that Ling's handwriting was very messy, a few points more wild than the handwriting on the envelope, and the content of the letter was also very simple, Yan Jiangnan Cao's luck was urgent, and he couldn't pull away, I was afraid that he couldn't rush back on the wedding day, she was very unwilling, but she had no choice but to postpone the wedding, and I hope you will forgive me.

In just a few words, there is nothing else to say.

Yan Qing stared at the letterhead and saw that there was a cup of tea, and Yunluo felt a little long after watching it, and couldn't help but guess what the little marquis was thinking now, whether he was worried about the master, or he was relieved that he didn't have to get married as scheduled, or he was dissatisfied with the master's few words.

He raised his eyes to see Yan Qing's face, but unfortunately, nothing could be seen from his face.

He shouted softly, "Little Marquis? ”

Yan said "um", put away the letterhead, put it in the envelope, held it in his hand casually, continued to walk forward, and after a while, asked, "Under what circumstances did she not be able to rush back for the wedding?" ”

Yunluo raised his heart, thinking that it was probably a major matter of life and death for His Second Highness, right? Otherwise, a Jiangnan Caoyun can't stop the master's heart of wanting to marry the little marquis, only when it is about the life and death of His Royal Highness, the master supports him, and pays for ten years to repay the grace of saving his life, he will have no choice but to postpone the wedding.

What's more, the master was not in Jiangnan Caoyun at all, but went to Hengchuan County, just for His Royal Highness.

But he couldn't say that to the feast.

He replied calmly, "It's probably about the life and death of Jiangnan Caoyun." ”

Yan Qing turned around and raised his eyebrows, "Jiangnan Caoyun, which has been taken over by her for three years, what kind of things can survive and die?" ”

Yunluo shook his head, "The subordinates are just guessing, and when the master comes back, he will definitely talk to the little marquis." ”

He is now the little marquis's person, he didn't go out with his master, and he doesn't know what the situation is with the second highness, is it that after so long, the person hasn't been found?

Yan turned his head lightly, continued to walk back, and said lightly, "She is not in Jiangnan Caoyun." ”

Yun Luo's eyes widened sharply behind Yan Qing, and his first reaction was, Little Hou Ye knew? How do you know? Where did the master show his horse's feet? Probably not, right? These days, except for when the little marquis sleeps, he is inseparable from the little marquis every day.

Yan Qing only said this sentence, and there was no follow-up.

Yunluo couldn't help but ask, "Why did the little marquis say this?" ”

Yan said lightly, "Intuition." ”

Yunluo: "......"

Is a man's intuition so scary? Then he had nothing to say.

Back at Duanjing Houfu, the housekeeper greeted him and saw the letter in Yan Qing's hand, and was overjoyed, "Little Hou Ye, has Miss Ling sent a letter?" ”

Yan let out a light "um", and his footsteps did not stop.

The housekeeper followed him, "Is Miss Ling coming back soon?" ”

"It's early, the wedding is postponed, and the yard will be repaired slowly!" Yan Qing dropped a sentence and entered the inner courtyard.

The housekeeper grabbed Yunluo, "Miss Ling is not coming back?" It's true? ”

Yunluo nodded, "Really, the master can't get out of his body and can't come back." ”

The housekeeper sighed, he had been looking forward to it for two or three months, and he was afraid that the little Hou Ye would regret it every day, but the little Hou Ye did not regret it, how could it be that something happened to go wrong from Miss Ling in such a hurry.
