By the time the lights were on, Qingpingzhai was already a lively and jubilant scene: Bihu and Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng went in and out, preparing fruit dishes and tea and wine for the banquet later; Li Zhuoran and Wang Hui were talking in the hall, arguing about ancient and modern anecdotes, and Zhang Yunhua and Zhao Qingzhou on the side were so amused that they couldn't help laughing, and they let out hearty laughter from time to time.

Su Mengtang and Ou Jinshu sat on the chair at the door, eagerly talking about how to make plum wine, Qiuqiu leaned on Su Mengtang's side, looked out at Chai Wuzheng carrying Ximen March on his shoulder, and together hung a red lantern under the eaves, and the two of them smiled brightly.

When Ximen March turned his head, he saw Qiuqiu looking up at himself inside, so he said to Chai Wu: "Uncle Chai Wu, let me go down, let Xiao Qiu'er hang the next lantern." Qiuqiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm afraid of high." But Ximen March was very enthusiastic, and took Qiuqiu's hand and led her to the corridor.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Qiu'er, it's fun, you can try it." Simon, a child, always likes to share the things he is interested in with others without reservation. Qiuqiu had no choice but to take the lantern handed over by Ximen, and was about to be picked up by Chai Wu, when he suddenly heard Yunhua's voice behind him: March, Xiaoqiu doesn't like to climb high, forget it. ”

Qiuqiu looked back, it turned out that Yunhua noticed the situation here, and was worried that Qiuqiu was really afraid of climbing because of the previous incident of collecting medicine and falling and hurting, so he hurriedly came over to relieve the siege. Before Qiuqiu could react, Yunhua had already squatted in front of her and said softly: "I'll hang it for Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu will help me see where it is appropriate, okay?" ”

Yunhua's tone was as gentle as the first wind to melt the ice in spring, Qiuqiu didn't have time to think, and directly put the lantern in Yunhua's hand. The people in the hall just now, because they saw Yunhua hurriedly walked out, they all gathered at the door at this moment, and after figuring out the reason, Ou Jinshu gently smashed Su Mengtang, and said something in Su Mengtang's ear, and Su Mengtang immediately made a mess with her.

Ou Jinshu ran to the courtyard with a smile and shouted: "Sister Su spared me this time, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore." "Jinshu, what nonsense are you talking about again?" On the small bridge in front of the courtyard, Xiang Kang carried a few kinds of food wrapped in lotus leaves, and walked with Ah Feng in great strides. "Brother Xiang, you're here." Jin Shu hurriedly ran towards Xiang Kang, and said with a smile: "It's just in time, it's time to eat, Brother Qingzhou said, everyone will not return if they are not drunk today." ”

Xiang Kang raised his head, saw everyone standing on the corridor, and laughed: "It's not the first time Xiang has come, why are you so polite, you are all here to greet you." Li Zhuoran took two steps forward, took the food in Xiang Kang's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, we are not waiting for you here, we are here to see Yunhua hanging lanterns." ”

Xiang Kang had already seen the lantern Yun Hua was holding, and was puzzled: "What? Lao Zhang, what new tricks can you hang out? Is it also worth watching so eagerly? I'm going to take a closer look. Everyone laughed, and Zhao Qingzhou said, "Brother Xiang, don't take it seriously, come and sit down inside and drink hot tea." ”

Xiang Kang was stunned when he saw Zhao Qingzhou, he looked at Zhao Qingzhou's thin face, opened his arms and patted Zhao Qingzhou's back heavily, and said: "Brother has suffered during this time, Xiang wants to meet that day, but-" "I know, if it weren't for Brother Xiang inviting Master Cheng Shuqin, I'm afraid Yunhua wouldn't be able to get out of the prison in Dali Temple that day, and Zhao will definitely give you a cup later." ”

Xiang Kang was a little moved, but because there was an outsider like Wang Hui beside him, he couldn't lose his temper, so he asked Qingzhou: "Who is this... Jiangning County Cheng, Lord Wang Hui? Li Zhuoran hurriedly said: "Yes, thanks to Lord Wang getting human and physical evidence in Jiangning, Qingzhou can stand here today." ”

Xiang Kang heard that he was busy making a gesture to salute Wang Hui, Wang Hui held him and said: "Brother doesn't have to be polite, everyone shows their magic and does their best, if not, why are we all gathered here in Lin'an today?" Su Mengtang said from the side: "Even if you are a person in the world, if you understand the personality of Brother Qingzhou, you will never stand idly by." Not to mention our friends. "All the people said yes.

A few people chatted on the corridor for a while, Yunhua raised his hand and hung the lantern where Qiuqiu pointed his finger, turned around and quipped: "Hang it up, thank you for cheering." Everyone laughed and walked inside. When he entered the door, Ximen quietly said to Qiuqiu: "I'm sorry Xiaoqiu, I forgot about your fall just now, and I will never let you go to a high place again." ”

Qiuqiu saw Ximen March's guilty eyes, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'm actually not afraid of height, I'm just lazy." Ximen suddenly smiled, and then suppressed his smile and said: "Xiao Qiu'er, you are not allowed to talk about yourself like this, you are the best, you know?" "Yes." Qiuqiu was amused by Simon pretending to be a little adult, reached out and touched his head, and pulled him to sit at the table.

After a while, Uncle Feng and Ziyu cooked the meal, and several servants pushed the door in with various dishes and placed them on the table. Ou Jinshu looked out from time to time and muttered: "Ning'er went to invite Teacher Tong, why haven't you come here for a long time, Brother Yunhua, do we need to go to the street to greet you?" Yunhua nodded and said, "It's okay, it's dark, let's light a lamp and illuminate the teacher's carriage and horses." ”

After saying that, he was about to get up, but he was held down by Li Zhuoran: "Yunhua, such a trivial matter, just leave it to me and Jinshu, you are the master of Qingpingzhai, and you want to stay here to accompany the guests." Yunhua naturally understood what Li Zhuoran meant, and said with a smile: "Then you go, it's dark, be careful." Li Zhuoran put on his robe and said, "Don't worry, I-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Tong Ning'er push the door in and asked him, "Eh, why did I just come and Brother Zhuo Ran is leaving?" Everyone burst into laughter, and Xiang Kang said laughingly: "Ning'er, have you lost something at the door of your house, go back and pick it up, so that you can take the opportunity to take Jinshu to pick you up." ”

Ning'er understood, and cooperated: "It's easy to say, I'll go back." After that, he was about to run out, but was pulled back by Su Mengtang, Su Mengtang said: "If you make trouble again, Sister Jinshu will be annoyed, so Ning'er, why don't you see Mr. Tong coming with you." Ning Er said: "I forgot to say it, today is Liu Neishi's fiftieth birthday, and my father went to his house, so he can't come, but my father said that he will definitely come next time." ”

Everyone heard that Mr. Tong was not coming, and they were a little disappointed, but a moment of loss was finally diluted by today's joy. Qiuqiu sat in the crowd, she temporarily pulled herself out of the joy under her moment, and calmly thought about the situation:

According to the records in the history books, at this time next year, Shi Miyuan will be killed by Song Lizong, what did he do that people and gods are angry about, will he be killed, will these things threaten the lives of the people in Liuting? She only hated that she hadn't been able to understand the history of the Southern Song Dynasty before, and she didn't know the reason, but Qiuqiu really hoped that these kind people in front of her could be happy like this forever and not be hurt in any way.
