The first Great Elder of the Xishan Adjudication Division is highly respected, and although he is close to old age, he is still diligent and studious.

In his bedroom, there is an inscription from the Central Plains calligrapher, on which reads: Be a teacher, teach people tirelessly; Learn from things, and realize very much.

The derivative elders take these sixteen characters as their motto, and never slack off in their own practice. He devoted his life to preaching and was highly renowned in the snowy plateau.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lanterns on the west mountain are bright, and there are not only lantern riddles and poetry clubs but also fireworks parties in the square of the outer courtyard. Such a romantic night is only twice a year on the West Mountain.

The other time was a gorgeous night on the 15th of August when the moon was full.

Some people say that both festivals are carnival nights for young people, and it is indeed very apt to describe them.

But who said that there can be no old people at the light party. After dinner, Elder Derivation came to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the red lights everywhere, and his heart was very relieved.

At his age, of course, no one would invite him to any more parties. Elder Derivation still retains a childlike heart in private, and he likes to walk around Xishan when he has nothing to do. After the New Year, he felt that his health was deteriorating, and he had to think about his aftermath like many old people in their twilight years.

Looking back on his life, he also has many regrets. But as time flies, many regrets have turned into a sigh.

Now the thing he can't give up the most is the Xishan Annex, the Moon God Temple, which he has dedicated his life to. He was concerned about every grass and tree, brick and tile in the West Mountain, and cared for everyone on the West Mountain.

There are fifty-six preachers and seventy-three ascetics in the inner courtyard of the West Mountain; There are more than 800 miscellaneous servants and 3,000 disciples from the outer sect.

Most of these derivative elders recognize him, which has something to do with his natural well-read and strong memory, but the most important thing is that he cares about everyone in the West Mountain.

When the lanterns were on, before the floating leaves could eat, Ren Jie Qi'er came to his house and took him out to see the lanterns.

The two walked down the street arm in arm, not avoiding anyone. On this night in the West Mountain, many female monks from the East Mountain come to enjoy the lanterns and watch the fireworks display, so there are many pairs of young men and women on the street.

The Temple of the Moon God did not oppose marriage between male and female monks, and the ascetic chose not to marry for the rest of his life out of complete voluntariness.

However, the Temple of the Moon does not admit married monks or monks, and both monks and monks must leave the Temple once they are married. Therefore, love is allowed in the Temple of the Moon, but lovers are not allowed to live together.

It was a magical night, and many of the ambiguities of the past would be pierced through the window paper and put on the bright side on this night. When the night comes, most of these young men and women who have established a relationship will choose to get married, and then leave the temple of the moon and return to the world to enjoy the fireworks of the world. After these male and female monks who have found a home leave the Moon God Temple, the children of the nobles of the various tribes of the Mangyuan who have grown up to the appropriate age will be sent to the Moon God Temple to start a precious spiritual journey.

Floating leaves and Renjie Qi'er walking together still surprised many people who met them.

There has never been a situation in history where two reincarnated spirit children entered the final pressure at the same time, and it was undecided who was the heir of the young master.

Because the setting about the reincarnated spirit boy facing execution after failing in the final election is too cruel, although there were several reincarnated spirit children running for the young secretary at the same time, they all had results before entering the final election.

Now the two powerhouses stand side by side, and behind the two reincarnated spirit children represent the nobles of Drifting Snow City and the Zhangxiong Department respectively.

There have always been different opinions about who can become a young master in the end. But everyone took it for granted that the floating leaf should represent the Xiangxiong Department on the side of the lord of Hanxi, and no one thought that he would walk with Renjie Qi'er.

This move of his attracted the criticism of many do-gooders, and the long-tongued man made up many versions of the story with his own imagination. For a while, rumors spread about the relationship between Floating Leaf and Renjie Qier.

The floating leaves have extraordinary ear power, and they can hear those malicious gossip clearly. Although he has some prestige in Xishan, it is difficult to block the mouths of the people.

Fushengye didn't say anything, and he already regretted coming out with Ren Jie Qi'er in his heart. But since he has already promised Ren Jieqier, he will not easily regret it. At first, it was Ren Jie Qier who took the floating leaves to go shopping, and after a while, the floating leaves took Ren Jie Qier to hide in Tibet.

Ren Jie Qi'er saw Fushengye holding her hand and walking towards a sparsely populated place, she thought that Fushengye was plotting against her, and her heart was pounding like a hidden rabbit.

Ren Jieqier said: "Where are you pulling me to?" ”

Fushengye said: "You don't care, just listen to me." ”

Han Xiye also wanted to guess the lantern riddles and watch the fireworks, but she was firmly watched by Gesang Yuzhen tonight, and she was not allowed to leave the residence for a single step.

Han Xiye begged Gesang Yuzhen aggrievedly: "Great Elder, just let me go out for one night!" I really want to go with my brother to guess lantern riddles and watch fireworks. ”

Gesang Yuzhen said: "Don't be stupid." You are going to succeed the young master in the future, how can you still be in the company of those ordinary people. ”

Han Xiye said: "But I heard that Ren Jieqi'er has gone to Xishan and is still with her brother. ”

Gesang Yuzhen said: "Who did you listen to?" See if I don't break his mouth! ”

At this time, Princess Aya came to Han Xiye's residence with a red lantern and said to Gesang Yuzhen: "Auntie, don't be angry, I wanted Han Xi to accompany me to Xishan to play for a while, so I told Han Xi about Renjie Qi'er going to find the floating leaves." ”

Princess Aya is not only noble, but also always has a sense of joy, as long as she wants to, she can please anyone. Gesang Yuzhen can't do anything about her.

Gesang Yuzhen said to Princess Aya: "Are you close to Hanxi or close to Renjie Qi'er?" ”

Princess Aya said, "Of course I'm closer to Sister Hanxi!" ”

Han Xiye was lukewarm to Princess Aya when she heard this, and she didn't say anything. It stands to reason that Princess Aya is from Drifting Snow City, and it should be easier to make friends with the Renjie family.

So Han Xiye didn't trust Princess Aya very much, and she and Princess Aya had completely different temperaments and personalities, so she never thought that she would become friends with Princess Aya.

However, since Princess Aya moved here, she has been very attentive to Han Xiye.

Facing Princess Aya's enthusiasm, although Han Xiye was a little disgusted in her heart, she was not easy to refuse.

Seeing that Han Xiye and Gesang Yuzhen didn't seem to believe her words, Princess Aya said depressedly, "I'll tell you a secret." After the Lantern Festival, Father Khan may let me go to Zhangxiong to make peace with my relatives. ”

Princess Aya looked unhappy after speaking.

Gesang Yuzhen and Han Xiye were taken aback when they heard Princess Aya's words, no wonder Princess Aya has been so interested in Han Xiye recently, it turned out that she was preparing to become a family in the future.

Gesang Yuzhen said: "This is a good thing! In this way, Han Xi's grasp of succeeding the young secretary is a little bigger. ”

Han Xiye said: "I think Princess Aya seems to be a little unhappy, Khan will let you marry my brother?" ”

Gesang Yuzhen said: "Of course Princess Aya will marry the heir of the White Horse King, the Yanlong prince, right?" ”

Princess Aya nodded lonely.

Han Xiye said: "After the founding ceremony of the Nanzhao Kingdom in the spring, my father will be promoted to a first-class prince, and Brother Yanlong should also be promoted to a prince!" ”

Gesang Yuzhen said: "That's nature, so you are really blessed." Your generation seems destined to rise to become one of the most prosperous families in the Red Gold Khanate. ”

Princess Aya said, "But I don't like the Yanlong family. ”

Gesang Yuzhen smiled and said, "Why?"

Princess Aya said, "I like floating leaves! ”

Han Xiye was stunned for a while when she heard this, but she couldn't help but have a good impression of Princess Aya. For Han Xiye, Fushengye is the closest person to her. Princess Aya showed her favor and she could not be moved, but Princess Aya liked floating leaves, so she instantly felt that Princess Aya had become cute.

Gesang Yuzhen said: "You've only known Fushengye for a few days!" Haven't you seen the Yanlong Shizi yet? ”

Princess Aya nodded and did not speak.

Gesang Yuzhen said: "How do you know that you won't like him when you see the prince of Yanlong?" No one knows what Fusheng Ye looks like, but the son of Yanlong Shizi can be called a handsome and dashing person, and I will be tempted by him if I am dozens of years younger. ”

Princess Aya looked up at Han Xiye and asked, "Is what the elder said true?" ”

Han Xiye nodded and said, "Brother Yanlong is indeed very good!" ”

Princess Aya said, "Have you ever seen the appearance of a floating leaf taking off his mask?" ”

Han Xiye thought for a while and said, "I should have seen it when I was a child, I heard my mother say that my brother often hugged me when I was a child." But at that time I was still breastfeeding and I don't remember. When I grew up, I never saw my brother take off his mask. ”

Princess Aya was very satisfied after hearing Han Xiye's words, and she finally determined that she was the only one who had seen the true face of the floating leaf now.

Han Xiye said with some sadness: "My brother suffered from a strange disease that could not see the light when he was very young. He has been wearing the mask for a long time, and his face may have become less pretty. So he didn't want others to see him the way he was. In fact, my brother is a person with a very brittle heart. ”

Princess Aya said, "Maybe he's not ugly now!" Haven't you seen what he looks like? ”

Gesang Yuzhen said: "No matter what he looks like, even if he still has a conscience, he knows what to do worthy of Hanxi." ”

Princess Aya said, "What did he do?" ”

Gesang Yuzhen said: "He is openly helping Hanxi when he is with Renjie Qi'er!" ”

Han Xiye looked at Gesang Yuzhen in confusion when she heard this, and Princess Aya said, "Why is this?" ”

Shao Si Ming is the body of holiness incarnated by the destiny of heaven, how can it be contaminated with the dirt of men.

Princess Aya asked curiously, "What's wrong with the man?" ”

Gesang Yuzhen has never married in her life, she is still a virgin, and she is also hearsay about men and women, and she knows nothing about it. Princess Aya asked her to the bottom of the matter, which made her embarrassed and angry: "Women are made of water, and men are made of mud. The water is clean, but the dirt is filthy. You said put a lump of mud in a bowl of water, and the bowl of water was still clean? ”

Princess Aya said stupidly: "I don't know if it's clean or not, it's quite comfortable anyway!" ”

Gesang Yuzhen said loudly: "Princess, what are you talking about? ”

Princess Aya came back to her senses and said with a flushed face: "Eh, it's okay!" If we don't go out again, the lantern festival in Xishan will be scattered! ”

Gesang Yuzhen said that she couldn't grind Princess Aya, so she said helplessly to the two: "It's okay to let you go out tonight, but you have to promise me not to talk to any man when I go outside." ”

Han Xiye asked weakly: "Can't you say hello when you see your brother?" ”

Gesang Yuzhen said: "If it's a man, you can't!" ”

Princess Aya pulled Han Xiye out of the calligraphy and painting courtyard and ran towards the West Mountain.

Han Xiye complained as she ran: "The Great Elder's requirements are too strict, how should I greet my brother when I see him later?" ”

Princess Aya said: "She didn't look at us, as soon as the bird flew out of the cage, she fluttered as much as she wanted, and she would never go back if she didn't play tonight!" ”

Han Xiye began to be a little worried that she had gotten on the thief ship, and she said timidly: "Ah! Isn't that right? ”

Princess Aya said: "What's wrong, you just follow this princess, and I'll give you a top when the sky falls!" ”
