Chapter 214: Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival

On an autumn afternoon, the sun is just right to be comfortable, neither too dazzling nor too scorching, and the lazy shone on the person's body, and it is unconsciously aroused tired.

Xu Shuhua sat in the courtyard reading a book, looking at it, and gradually became a little sleepy.

Gu Yunji walked over lightly, wanting to put on a coat for her, but Xu Shuhua slept lightly, and he woke up as soon as he got closer, and said with a smile: "It's so early today?" ”

Gu Yunji didn't answer, but sat down next to her, wrapped around her from behind, and said softly, "What book are you reading?" ”

Xu Shuhua said: "The "Catholic Want" you gave me, you can take a look at it casually when you have nothing to do." ”

Gu Yunji looked at the book "Catholic Wants" that she turned to the page and scrolled, and tilted her head to look at her: "How many times have you read this book?" If you like it, I'll find you some more in the future. ”

Xu Shuhua looked into his eyes and smiled, "No need." There aren't many books of this kind, I've read most of them, and the rest are nothing more than some unpopular miscellaneous chapters, even if you don't have much gain from reading them, why bother to find them? Besides, I'm not too interested in passing the time. ”

Although women in this era have many constraints, Xu Shuhua is still relatively free when she is not out of the cabinet, the family population is simple, Xu Chengyu has always been open-minded, and she can go out to play from time to time. Now that he is married to the Gu family, the population is large and the rules are strict, and there are mothers-in-law and elders staring at them, and they are no longer as relaxed as before.

Gu Yunji was fine when he was there, but when he was away, Xu Shuhua could only nest in the courtyard and read some old books to kill time.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji and her lightly pressed their foreheads and said, "There will be a lantern festival on the street tomorrow, let's finish eating at home early and go out for a walk together?" ”

Xu Shuhua was slightly surprised: "Aren't you worth it tomorrow?" ”

Gu Yunji said helplessly: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, have you forgotten?" It is because the reunion festival is approaching, so the Hanlin Academy is released earlier today. ”

Xu Shuhua was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "It's really confusing to live a mess, and I almost forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Looking at the smile on Xu Shuhua's face, Gu Yunji only felt uncomfortable in his heart, sighed silently, held her hand and said, "Right now...... I still have to endure it for a few more years, and when I get married or I am promoted from the Hanlin Academy, I will find a reason, and we will go out and live alone. When the time comes, you can go out and do whatever you want, okay? ”

"Actually, it's the same everywhere, it doesn't matter if I can't go out, it's more comfortable to stay at home." Xu Shuhua was relieved, and suddenly remembered something, "If you want to go to see the Lantern Festival tomorrow, why don't you bring Qiaoqiao with you?" ”

Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows: "What do you take her for?" ”

"What do you mean to take her for? Qiaoqiao is your sister. Xu Shuhua smiled for a moment and looked at him helplessly, "Qiaoqiao told me that she was uncomfortable during this time. In the past, when she was in Huating County, she could still go out from time to time to play with her sisters. Now that I am in the capital, I am not familiar with the place, I don't even have a friend, and I am about to get sick at home. ”

Gu Yunji was only thinking about living a two-person world with Xu Shuhua before, but when she said this, she suddenly realized that she had neglected Gu Yunqiao a little, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "It's my negligence as an elder brother." Then tomorrow, the three of us will go to see the lantern festival, and we won't bring anyone else, so let's have a good time. ”

——

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky has just darkened, and all kinds of lanterns of all sizes are hung on the street, which are colorful and dazzling, and it is almost dazzling.

Gu Yunqiao is a lively character, and he has been detained at home for a long time, and he can't hold it back as soon as he releases it. Look at this for a while, look at that for a while, my heart is full of novelty, and I can't calm down at all.

Seeing that Gu Yunqiao almost bumped into someone recklessly, Gu Yunji said with a straight face: "Qiaoqiao, you are walking, look at you, you are jumping up and down without a proper shape." ”

Gu Yunqiao stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and leaned in front of him to be coquettish: "Brother, there are a lot of rules in the family on weekdays, and you have to be dignified and generous and restrained and quiet, I don't like it at all, and I have to pretend to be a lady, I have long pretended to be tired." ”

"It's hard to go out today, my father and mother are not here, and no one knows me on the street, so you just let me have a good time, okay?"

Gu Yunji was not angry, and when she heard this, she couldn't bear to continue to treat her coldly, so she touched her head lovingly: "Okay, you can play as much as you want, just be careful when you walk, there are a lot of people here, even if you don't pretend to show others, you don't fall down." ”

"Brother is so nice!" Gu Yunqiao responded happily, but the next second he was attracted by a gadget on a stall, and even if he ran over, he didn't know if he listened to Gu Yunji's words.

Gu Yunji shook her head helplessly: "This girl, I don't know when she will grow up." ”

Xu Shuhua was relieved: "Little girl, it's all like this. When I was a child, I jumped out like her, but when I got older, coupled with the repeated reminders and nagging of the elders, I slowly relented. Qiaoqiao can still have such a frank temperament now, in my opinion, it is extremely precious, so she is still young, so let her have fun. ”

Gu Yunji also felt that this was reasonable, so she went.

Looking at the lanterns all over the street, Gu Yunji couldn't help but think of the lantern festival in Hangzhou Fucheng that year, and wondered: "It's the same lantern, it's the same street scene, but I think it's very different from what I saw in Hangzhou Fucheng today, it's really strange." ”

Xu Shuhua said with a smile: "One is that the meaning of the festival is different, the second is the different place and time, and the third is the most important point, that is, your current state of mind is completely different from that year." ”

"Yes, at that time, I was still studying at Luxi Academy, and my mind was full of imperial examinations, and even festivals like Qixi were thinking about going to worship Kuixing for fame." Recalling the past, Gu Yunji sighed a lot, "But I wasn't very sincere at the time, so I bowed twice and it was over." Fortunately, Lord Kuixing didn't care, and finally let me be on the list. ”

Xu Shuhua teased: "The main thing is that you work hard yourself, otherwise even if Lord Kuixing wants to help you, I don't know where to start, you can't turn into an adult to make papers for you in the scientific examination room, right?" ”

Gu Yunji laughed when he heard this: "Also, if Lord Kuixing makes a scroll for every scholar who seeks fame, I am afraid that the clone alone will score tens of thousands, which is really embarrassing for him." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Yunji's heart moved, and he looked down at Xu Shuhua: "I remember that the Kuixing Hall and the Weaver Girl Hall were next to each other at that time, I asked Kuixing for fame, what did you ask for the Weaver Girl?" ”

Xu Shuhua bent his eyes and raised his eyebrows playfully: "Guess? ”
