CHAPTER 40
When I went back in the evening, I saw Mrs. Li at the gate of King Yi's mansion, and I said hello to him, and he always smiled at me, like a father.
"Why doesn't Master Taifu go in?" I asked him.
"I've been in, but you haven't seen it."
"When?"
"When you kick the bow."
"Oh!" It dawned on me that we were all busy kicking the juju at that time, and no one really noticed Taifu standing at the door.
I said I was going home, and the Taifu said that he was just entering the palace, so he followed me all the way.
On the way, Taifu asked me how I met Chu Muxiu, and I said that we had met since we were children, but we never met after that, and I also said that in fact, I also followed him to the border last time.
"What do you think of Your Highness?"
I was stunned for a long time: "I think he's a good person." ”
Taifu laughed again, he said that what I said was very clear and funny, and I thought it was Taifu praising me. Taifu told me that Chu Muxiu's life experience is very pitiful, no one has loved him since he was a child, but in fact, he is very kind, but he doesn't know how to express it. Because he has experienced too many sad things, many times he likes to hide himself, because hiding in is not so easy to get hurt. He has been unhappy for ten years, because I began to stop frowning, began to accept some new things, and began to pick up Kemari again. He saw all these things in his eyes and remembered them in his heart.
I was fascinated by it, but I still didn't understand it, but my heart still fluctuated a little, in fact, I really wanted to hear Chu Muxiu's story.
Every year when the osmanthus flowers are blooming, we have to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, I like the Mid-Autumn Festival, because that day Daddy is at home, the whole day the house is lively, all with a smile on their faces, I like to be so kind and angry.
The moon cake is made by Daddy three days ago, everyone in the house has it, after eating it is already evening, all the people don't have to work, sitting in the yard and guarding the moon, I think the moon is similar to watching the sunset, fortunately I don't hate waiting. Daddy is naturally in the study, and Aunt Song said that she is no longer one of us little girls, so she has never liked to do these things with us, and she should sew clothes in her own room. After waiting for a long time for the moon to come out but it rained lightly, I thought that I was really disappointed, I am afraid that I will not see the moon tonight.
Later, when it was dark, Qian Che came to us and took out two hawthorn mooncakes from his pocket, and Qian Che said that His Royal Highness didn't like to eat, so he couldn't eat more than he could eat. I asked Qianche if Chu Muxiu was also waiting for the moon, and Qianche said that he was still eating the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace. The annual Mid-Autumn Festival, so the royal relatives have to enter the palace to get together.
The rain gradually stopped, Qian Che Mo'er and I went to the street to play, in fact, the hazy Huancheng is really beautiful, but there are almost no people on the street, the two of them walk in front, and one of me walks behind. For the first time, I felt a little lonely. It would be nice if the moon came out, at least it would be a Mid-Autumn Festival. I originally wanted to go to Uncle Zhang, but he was already closed.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be a bit bleak.
"Miss, buy a few months cakes!" A street vendor stopped me.
"What got it?" I asked him.
He said that it was filled with jujube paste, and he also said that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival did not know why it rained, the moon did not come out, and the moon cakes were not easy to sell, and they could not sell a few after a long time.
Later, I still paid for two, and when I turned my head, Mo'er and Qianche had long since disappeared, and the lanterns hanging next to the restaurant were reflected in the sparkling water on the ground. I put the mooncakes in my pocket and turned to leave.
I walked to the gate of the palace, there used to be a lot of Yulin troops guarding the city gate, but today there is no one to see. In the end, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and His Majesty naturally wants to have fun with the people. There are also a lot of lanterns hanging in the city, and some fireworks are set off from time to time, I think it must be very lively inside, and Chu Muxiu must be very happy. I was standing at the gate of the city watching the fireworks, and I should have been waiting for Chu Muxiu. The door was so closed that I sat on it for a long time, barely seeing a glimmer of light inside. There was still a place at the gate of Xinhao City that was not wet by the rain, so I sat down directly against the city gate. I don't know how long I waited outside, but I looked at the sky, and the clouds and fog had already dispersed, and the night sky seemed to be much clearer, could it be that the moon was coming out.
Later, the moon really came out, and I couldn't see through it when I was hiding in the clouds. I leaned against the city gate and watched for a long time, and I was tired of seeing it, when suddenly the city gate opened, "Oops". I was unprepared and fell again, my body was still outside, and I fell my head straight into the city gate. I just closed my eyes, and I wondered why I was so unlucky. When I opened my eyes, a face welled up over my head, his eyes froze, and then he looked surprised: "What are you doing here?" ”
"It's really you, the wood." , I was happy and angry: "You are a person, you can help me too!" ”
"Oh!" Chu Muxiu hurriedly helped me up.
After Chu Muxiu came out, the city gate closed again: "Why did you come out alone?" I asked him.
He looked relaxed: "Oh, it's too stuffy inside and it's not fun, I told Your Majesty that I was unwell and came out first." ”
I saw that his face was a little unpleasant: "I am not feeling well, what's wrong with you?" ”
He leaned sideways into my ear: "I don't want to stay inside, that's a lie to Your Majesty." ”
I didn't expect Chu Muxiu to deceive people: "Lie to Your Majesty, my God, that's a decept......ion" I called a few words, Chu Muxiu quickly covered my mouth, "Be quiet, do you want everyone inside to know." ”
I nodded violently and looked up at the city tower: "That's it, the crime of bullying the king, I want to kill my head!" ”
Chu Muxiu sneered: "Do you think everyone is as afraid of death as you?" ”
That's also, Chu Muxiu is His Majesty's younger brother, no matter how bad he is, he can't take his relatives under the knife.
"Have you eaten mooncakes?"
"I don't like to eat."
"If you don't eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's not a holiday," I took out two mooncakes from my pocket, "Hehe, look, I just bought them on the street, with jujube paste filling, give me one for you and give it to you." ”
"Did you go out on the street?"
"I went with Qianche Mo'er just now, but then I couldn't find them, Qianche said that you were in the palace, I thought about trying my luck, but I didn't expect my luck to be quite good."
Chu Muxiu hesitated, and I threw it into my arms as soon as I threw it away.
Then we left, "How long have you been waiting here?" ”
"It won't be long before you come out just by looking at the moon."
The queen stood on the tower: "Who is that girl?" ”
Lu Luo looked at it: "I don't know, I've never seen it, His Royal Highness King Yi obviously complained about his illness and now he is gone with a girl, so I am worried that King Yi will come to take a look." ”
"Shut up, don't say anything like this in the future!" The queen glanced at Lu Luo, and although Lu Luo was not convinced, she immediately bowed her head.
The queen watched the city tower for a long time, glaring at me angrily, until Chu Muxiu and I faded out of her sight.
I told Chu Muxiu that the lanterns hanging outside the city gate were very beautiful, and the fireworks inside were also beautiful, and Chu Muxiu said that he had seen enough for a long time, and those things were all false.
When I walked out, the moon had already appeared, and the streets became more crowded and lively. I walked over and saw the moon cake vendor again, and the mooncakes that used to be piled up like a hill on the stall were now almost sold out.
"Boss, your business is so good, your mooncakes are sold out in a blink of an eye!"
The boss smiled from ear to ear, and was about to close the stall: "It's not for your blessing, Miss, that I can close the stall so quickly, you see that the moon mother-in-law has come out, I have to go back to watch the moon with the child and the child's mother!" ”
I think these words come out of the boss's mouth very naturally and very beautifully, his face is full of happiness that can't be hidden, I think even if a piece of mooncake is not sold today, he should be very happy, because there is a good table of good food at home, and the most important person has someone waiting for him.
I suddenly felt a lot of emotion, and my mood was much more relaxed, "Otherwise, let's go and see the moon, the moon may look better after the rain." ”
"And where do you want to go?"
In fact, it's really like what Taifu said, Chu Muxiu is very kind, but he doesn't know how to express it, maybe he hasn't found a person he can express all along.
"Go to the highest place in Huancheng."
Later, we went to the roof of the Drunken Immortal Residence Pavilion, in fact, the highest place in Huancheng is not here, it is the palace where His Majesty lives in the palace. But Chu Muxiu had just escaped from there, how could we get into it again, besides, there might be layers of Yulin Army inside, and it would not be good if we were caught as assassins if we entered. Chu Muxiu has nothing, no one dares to touch him in this Lang Tianyue, but I am different, Daddy will save me, but he will definitely lock me up and punish me for copying books.
It was so high that I could barely stand on my feet, and sitting on the eaves, I could see the whole sky, and the moon was so close to me that I could catch it if I got closer. A few days ago, I was touching the sunset, and today is catching the moon, Chu Muxiu can always bring me some surprises, and he never seems to disappoint me.
I took out the moon cake from my pocket and tore open its outer paper, the moon cake can also be made so good-looking, the four corners are printed with a few flowers engraved in the middle of the flower good moon, this word is used on the moon cake I think is very incisive, and it is very suitable.
I took a bite, and the natural things of the farmhouse are delicious, although they are not made of high-quality raw materials, but I always feel that there is a kind of farmer's feelings, a refreshing breath, and I like this taste.
I turned my head and saw Chu Muxiu also eating.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's better than the one in the palace."
"yes."
He always seems to be so quiet, I don't know why I look at him so lively that I can't say a word for a long time. There he was silently nibbling on the mooncakes, which were almost finished, and the moon would look better later on.
"Hey, I'll lend you your back."
He was just stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, I turned my back to him and leaned up, he sat in front, I put my legs on the tiles of the eaves, and rested my head on his back, so back to back I always felt a little strange, it didn't feel like sitting on Daddy's shoulder when I was a child.
I tilted my head, Chu Muxiu seemed to be a little stiff, and he didn't dare to move, so I just let me lean my head on his back.
"Hey, do you have someone you like in your heart?" I don't know why I asked him this question.
Chu Muxiu was stunned: "I prefer wood to feed me than to ask me to feed."
"That wood, do you have someone you like in your heart?"
"There should be!"
I scrambled up and asked him, "Who?" ”
He looked at me and then turned his head: "I thought about it for a while, but it doesn't seem to be." ”
"Oh." I turned my head and leaned back again, my first reaction was that he was teasing me, and my second reaction was that he was running away.
I stretched out my hand and circled my thumb and index finger in a circle, and then squinted my eyes and put the moon in that circle, I sighed that the moon that was so far away, so big, so ethereal, wasn't it also trapped in a circle by the small me at this moment?
"Wood, what do you think is in the moon?"
He carried me on his back, and I couldn't see the expression on his face: "There are Chang'e and Jade Rabbit." ”
"I feel that there is my mother on the moon, your mother, and those relatives who love us but have passed away." I said this not only to myself, but also to Chu Muxiu.
I vaguely felt him move, and then his breathing became a little shorter, but he still didn't speak, and I think he really didn't want me to see how sad he was now. I didn't turn my head to look at him, and since he didn't want me to see it, then I wouldn't look.
