When Qin Cheng arrived in Shangjing, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion. The festive season coincided with happy events, and the Qin family was extremely pleased, and they began to hold a family banquet early in the morning. Although Ji Chenglin is not optimistic about Qincheng's spring this time, under such an atmosphere, he has not swept everyone's interest.

The wind of amusement prevailed in this dynasty, such a festival, the palace has always been to set up a feast, and the officials and their families above the fifth grade have to enter the palace to follow the lively. Ji Chenglin, as a sixth product, is a pity that he can't participate, but after the palace banquet, there are good colleagues who get together in private, chat, and deepen friendship, which is also worth looking forward to.

After the feast, it was just getting dark. It just so happened that everyone went out to see the lanterns and enjoy the scenery, and feast and enjoy.

Ji Chenglin stepped out of the house first, Qin Cheng also asked a familiar classmate to go out, Qin said to Ji Erlan with a smile: "A-Niang is going to Mrs. Fang's appointment in a while, Erlan might as well go with A-Niang, right?" ”

Since the conclusion of the Fang Mansion case, the two families have been moving very closely, and the neighbors are close to each other, and it is very convenient to communicate. Mrs. Fang and Qin's temperament are both straightforward and unpretentious, so their friendship is as deep as a day. Ji Erlan smiled: "A-Niang will go by herself, I have made an appointment with Qingxue and Xiaoxiao, and the two of them should come in a while." ”

Before the words fell, I heard Fang Qingxue's crisp 'Sister Erlan'. Qin smiled and told them to pay attention to their safety, and then got into Mrs. Fang's carriage and left. Fang Qingxue pulled Ji Erlan to stand in the corner, and said in a low voice: "I was outside the gate of the mansion just now, and I saw Ji Rujun go out with the girl in the second room of the Song family. ”

Ji Erlan nodded: "Well, I know, it's Song Yuheng's cousin." I heard that Song Yuning is young, but she is very sweet and loved by Mrs. Song. ”

"Yes, the second room is the most unpopular, even the grandson is not pleased, only this granddaughter can enter the eyes of Mrs. Song. didn't expect Ji Rujun to catch her? Fang Qingxue was a little worried: "These two little girls have more honeycombs in their hearts, you have to be careful!" ”

Ji Erlan's mind did not fall on Song Yuning, but asked: "I heard that the second room is not favored, is it because of the Song family?" ”

Fang Qingxue nodded: "Well, the Song family's affairs were very sensational back then, and I also heard some of my mother say something." ”

Ji Erlan pulled her to sit under the flower stand and said, "Oh? Anyway, Xiaoxiao hasn't arrived yet, why don't we talk about it while waiting for her? ”

Fang Qingxue naturally didn't have any opinions, so she said: "Old Madam Song's three sons, Song Sanlang is the most amazing, he has been famous since he was a child, he was in the middle of the Yuan at the age of thirteen, and then he wanted to try Chunqiu, but was stopped by Old Madam Song, saying that he was still young, and he had to go out to experience and experience." Song Sanlang left for five years, and when he was about to come back, Mrs. Song asked her second son to pick her up, but who knew that there were bad bandits on the road, and only the second son desperately escaped back. Mrs. Song complained that he didn't save the third child and only cared about running for his life, so she always blamed her in her heart. ”

Ji Erlan was surprised: "It is also her own son, and this old lady Song's heart is really out of line." ”

"Although there are many descendants of the family, there are not many who can become instruments and can support the entire family, and Mrs. Song can't wait to exchange Song Erlang's life for Song Sanlang's life. Alas, who made the eldest and second eldest of the Song family inferior to this younger son, I heard that the old lady Song almost wanted the third son to be the lord. Fang Qingxue said helplessly: "After Song Sanlang is gone, the eldest and second child are not successful, and the Song family was much weaker for a while, and at that time, the Empress Dowager Song was still Concubine Song Xian, and she supported her. ”

"There must be a lot of people speculating that Dafang is afraid that Song Saburo will come back to fight for the title, so he is looking for someone to do it, right?"

Fang Qingxue lowered her voice and said, "It was once so popular, but Old Madam Song clapped her hand and said no, then it wasn't." What more can anyone else say? ”

"No matter how good Song Saburo is, the people are no longer there, if the boss is put in again, what will the Song family do?" Ji Erlan knows the doorway very well, and Old Madam Song may not have guessed, but she can't pursue it anymore.

Fang Qingxue thought about it, seemed to think that this was the case, and said in surprise: "The boss of the Song family, who is Song Yuheng's father, has a soft temperament, you can see Song Yuheng!" ”

"Do you think Song Yuheng is good-tempered?"

Fang Qingxue blinked: "Isn't it?" Everyone has a few who can get along or can't get along, only Song Yuheng, the noble girl in the capital, didn't say that she was bad. Even if he was a little jealous of her appearance and status, he didn't dare to say half a bad word about her on his face, otherwise, he would be despised by the person himself. ”

When Ji Erlan heard this, she felt that Song Yuheng was unfathomable, and it was not a simple matter at all to manage the personnel around her like this, where would Song Yuheng be a person who was so difficult to pinch. It's just that she can't explain to Fang Qingxue now, she just said: "Anyway, you'll know in the future." ”

While the two were saying this, they saw Twilight running over with her skirt and said, "Girl, Miss Cheng has arrived and is waiting in the carriage outside the door." ”

Ji Erlan and Fang Qingxue looked at each other and smiled, and went out together.

The market is splendid, and the cinnamon fragrance is frivolous. Among the luxuriant trees on both sides of the road, there are countless delicately carved lanterns of all kinds, and bursts of music come from different places, interweaving an incomparably prosperous and lively atmosphere.

At this time, on the shore of Gushui, there are countless figures, scrambling to push the lotus lamp in their hands into the water.

Those subtle but bright points of light, the shadows are reflected in the water waves, flowing with the water, gathering and dispersing. The two sisters Song Yuheng stood on the high moon-gazing platform, listening to the orchestral music around them, watching the people coming and going in the market, and couldn't help but smile. Song Yaoxian clasped her hands together and muttered a few words with her eyes closed.

Song Yuheng was surprised: "What is my sister doing?" ”

Song Yaoxian's face turned red, but she didn't hide it from her sister, she said: "My sister, as the eldest daughter of the Song family, has made up her mind since she was a child, and when she grows up, she wants to enter the palace to be the queen, and now that you have reached the age of sixteen, it won't be long before you enter the palace to accompany the emperor." And I, too, have to obey the arrangements of the family and set the family affairs ......"

Although she didn't make it clear who she was talking to, Song Yuheng was of course clear. Everything was arranged by the Queen Mother, and it had been decided from the time the two sisters were young, who they would be with for the rest of their lives. Her hands trembled, and her handkerchief suddenly fell from the platform.

"Oops, why did the veil fall off?" Song Yaoxian hurriedly looked down, only to see that the white silk was floating by the wind, and soon floated into the bushes and disappeared. "Qingyun, you quickly take someone to find it."

A few girls immediately went down to look for the veil.

Song Yuheng smiled at her sideways and asked, "Looking at my sister's appearance, I am very satisfied with this family business." ”

Song Yaoxian's cheeks flushed slightly, she was only fifteen years old, under the moonlight, delicate like a budding begonia under the rain and dew, innocent and clean. She said: "Although you and my relatives are not free, I really feel lucky in my heart. Because the man I am going to marry is exactly what my heart is tied to......"

She smiled sweetly, looked up at Song Yuheng, and asked, "Sister is the same for the emperor, right?" ”

Song Yuheng looked at her, her folded hands clenched unconsciously, but her face was full of pampering and softness: "My sister can marry the person she admires, and my sister is happy for you." She looked at Song Yaoxian, who was full of joy, paused, and showed a slightly worried look: "Yan Lingtian is afraid that she will not easily give up the position of Princess Du." ”

Song Yaoxian lowered her eyes slightly, biting her lower lip, obviously very worried about this matter, and after a moment, she said: "Although the Yan family is strong, but with the strength of their family, can't the emperor and the queen mother still be suppressed?" ”

Song Yuheng sighed lightly: "Sister, don't worry too much, be careful, no matter what, my sister will help you." Of course, it would be better if everything went well, and I hope the Yan family will not use any crooked brains. ”

Song Yaoxian nodded, leaned on the railing, looked at the bottom of the lookout platform, and wondered, "Why haven't they come back yet?" ”

"Maybe it's because the handkerchief is drifting far away......" Song Yuheng responded as he walked towards Song Yaoxian's approach, and his plain white jade hand stretched out lightly to touch her back.

"Second girl, the prince has come out of the palace!"

Mo Yun's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them. Song Yuheng's eyelids jumped suddenly, put his hand on Song Yaoxian's shoulder, and said, "I'm looking for a veil here, you can go quickly." ”

Song Yaoxian clapped her hands happily, and her eyebrows and eyes curled with a smile: "Although Yan Lingtian is a threat, if the prince can take the lead in giving birth to a little joy for me, presumably, we will be more sure." Sister, I'll go first! ”

Song Yuheng smiled softly, helped her pluck her forehead, and said, "Go ahead." ”

Song Yaoxian nodded happily, and led the girls all the way down the moon platform, and the corners of the crimson skirt embroidered with tangled branches and treasure flowers flew up, just like the girl's mood, extremely brisk.

Song Yuheng looked at such a back, and the hand that had just stretched out half of it suddenly trembled violently, and she hurriedly covered it with her usual sleeves. Then he turned and told the maidservant, "Let's go too." ”

Yuyu Qionglou, the light shadow is faint. Of course, the most prosperous and cheerful place in the whole capital is the West Market, where all the alleys are lit up, and the surrounding shops and restaurants are also dressed in red and hung colors, greeting guests with joy.

The last time Ji Erlan came, he accidentally clashed with Cheng Xiaoxiao, but he didn't see anything. Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of this and said embarrassedly: "Er Lan, I will compensate you well this time, you can watch what you say, and you can play whatever you say, how about it?" ”

Ji Erlan raised her eyebrows, noncommittal, pointed to the bustle in front of her, and said, "On a day like tonight, you can still watch whatever you want." The three of them all wore masks on their faces, and walked forward together, surrounded by countless maidservant guards, and it was simply a large group of people squeezing forward, which was really not easy.

The trio made their way through the crowd. Along the way, jugglers such as swallowing swords and ropes, spitting fire, and other jugglers are all performing hard, striving to make a lot of money tonight and make up for the family. Performances are overwhelming.

Ji Erlan liked this kind of excitement very much, and even saw the couple she saw through the window of Yang Zheng's carriage last time. The foot stopped unconsciously.
