Cao Xun took the wet towel handed by the maid and wiped his hands: "Both." ”

In fact, it is mainly the latter, and he doesn't like anything that is troublesome to eat.

Yunzhu smiled: "Then I am really honored that Uncle Deguo is so condescending to take care of me." ”

Cao Xun looked at her and asked, "Since I beat you and I got married, when did I not take care of you so much?" ”

Yunzhu could praise him, and when she heard him invite credit, she couldn't help but refute it: "The day before yesterday, you were angry at me for no reason, and my father was not so fierce to me." ”

Cao Xun laughed: "Didn't you make amends?" You can't just remember the bad and not remember the good. ”

Yunzhu: "I'm not a bodhisattva, you dare to bully people, and you don't allow me to keep accounts?" ”

Cao Xun: "I knew that you would remember it for a lifetime, so I won't take you to buy jewelry yesterday." ”

This is a joke, Yun Zhu glared at him, and then looked at the table of delicacies in front of him, because of the long delay in eating crabs, the dishes were almost cold, and there seemed to be Pan's figure on the other side, Yun Zhu had no appetite at all, and said to Cao Xun: "It's still early, let's go shopping on the street, right?" ”

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Beijing has a curfew for three nights, plus the lantern festival, which is much more lively than the Midyear Festival on July 15.

Most people go out after having a reunion dinner, so it's just right to leave now.

Cao Xun: "Let's go." ”

The garden of the Dingguo Mansion was very large, and Yunzhu grabbed Cao Xun's arm without taking two steps: "You carry me to the gate of the garden." ”

Cao Xun touched her head: "Why do you like to call people back so much?" ”

Yun Zhu thought to himself, of course, because he was tall, his shoulders were broad, and he had a lot of strength, and he was comfortable enough to carry.

"Don't you like it? If you don't like it, forget it. ”

Yunzhu doesn't want to be difficult, this kind of thing, you have to pay attention to your love and my wishes.

Cao Xun didn't say anything, just walked in front of her and squatted down.

Yun Zhu happily leaned on him, looked over, and saw that Cao Xun did not have any unhappiness on his face, and even looked quite enjoyable, Yun Zhu kissed him on the side of the neck rewardingly: "Forget it, for the sake of your performance well enough tonight, I will cancel the account." ”

Cao Xun: "Madame is really magnanimous. ”

Yunzhu lightly punched him and tilted his head to look at the moon in the sky.

When he arrived at the gate of the garden, seeing that Cao Xun had no intention of stopping, Yun Zhu hurriedly said, "Let me go." ”

Cao Xun: "It's okay to carry it outside. ”

He doesn't mind, Yunzhu still minds, there are few people in the garden, and there are more small people in front.

Walk outside the door, where a carriage has long been prepared.

Yun Zhu looked at Cao Xun unexpectedly.

Cao Xun smiled: "I originally planned to go out for a walk with you." ”

Any festival is no different from his usual place, but now he is not alone, and he always has to take care of her needs.

Sent Ah Jiu to the Drunken Immortal Residence to order a private room and dishes, and the two got off the carriage in advance and walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of the Drunken Immortal Residence along the bustling streets at night.

Yunzhu has liked to be lively since she was a child, even if she has visited the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital more than a dozen times, every time she comes again, she still feels fresh.

This year is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the recovery of Kyushu in the Great Xia, and the folk lantern festival is also more lively than in previous years, and Yunzhu has seen a lot of new lantern styles.

"Yunzhu!"

The familiar voice of thunder came from the front, Yun Zhu raised his head, and saw his brother at a glance, and his younger brother Li Xian was also a tall young man alone, standing next to his brother and was immediately lined as a half-grown child.

Seeing her family at the Lantern Festival, Yunzhu was very happy, and left Cao Xun and ran over: "Why are you here too?" ”

Li Yao single-handedly blocked a passerby who almost bumped into his sister, and explained with a smile: "I guessed that you would come, so I took Brother Xian'er out to try my luck, in previous years, we accompanied you, and my brother was afraid that you would not be used to it." ”

After speaking, he also glanced at Cao Xun meaningfully.

Cao Xun smiled gently and inclusively.

Li Xian was a little embarrassed, and said to his brother: "Since we have a brother-in-law accompanying my sister, let's go back early." ”

He could see that his sister's interest was very high, which showed that his brother-in-law's companion was no worse than them.

Li Yao didn't understand what his younger brother meant, and said to himself: "It's all here, let's go shopping together!" ”

Not only did he have to shop, but he also stayed by his sister's side every step of the way, and Cao Xun had to walk side by side with Li Xian.

Li Xian whispered to him to apologize: "It's rare that my brother-in-law has Yaxing, but my brother is disturbed." ”

Cao Xun smiled: "The family doesn't have to be polite, I am also with your sister, she just has fun." ”

When he arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence, Li Yao once again dragged his younger brother to the private room, and he also wanted to fight with Cao Xun for wine, but this time Yunzhu trained his brother first.

Usually Cao Xun has a good temper, but that time he was angry because he was really drunk, and for his own comfort, Yunzhu didn't want to see Cao Xun get drunk again.

Cao Xun doesn't drink, so the speed of eating is much faster than Li Yao.

Yunzhu finished eating, and seeing that her brother hadn't drunk enough, she called Cao Xun to leave first.

Out of the Drunken Immortal Residence, Cao Xun asked him: "You don't want me to get drunk, why don't you persuade your brother?" ”

Yunzhu said helplessly: "My grandfather also likes to drink, my brother completely follows him, my mother can't persuade me, and it doesn't work if I say it." ”

Fortunately, my brother is a good amount of alcohol that is not drunk in a thousand glasses, and he has not had any problems because of drinking, so his mother will not care.

The two continued to walk through the half street to the right of the Drunken Immortal Residence.

What was waiting for them at the corner of the street was not the carriage they had been in, but a tall horse with dark hair, which was Cao Xun's mount.

Yunzhu looked at the people around him suspiciously.

Cao Xun said with a smile: "Before, you annoyed me that I only had to accompany my second brother to run a horse, but tonight the moonlight is good, and I will also accompany you to run a horse outside the city." ”

Yunzhu was half moved and half hesitant: "How late is it to come back?" I'm afraid the gates of the city will be shut. ”

The curfew has been lifted for the past three nights, and the people in the city can move freely at night, but the city gate still has to be closed, only an hour and a half later than usual.

Cao Xun helped her to the horse and said above her head: "Don't come back, stay on Zhuangzi tonight, and accompany you to climb the mountain and enjoy autumn tomorrow." ”

This is exactly Yunzhu's original plan for today, she complained to Cao Xun, but she didn't expect that although he was a day late, he still arranged it!

Because tonight's skirt was more cumbersome, Yunzhu sat sideways in front of Cao Xun.

At night, the moonlight could not completely drive away the darkness in the sparse area of the lanterns, and the people on the street saw a horse running unhurriedly, and they couldn't see who the men and women on the horse were.

until they came to the gates.

The face of the great uncle Cao Xun is the best waist card, and the two defenders recognized him and immediately got out of the way and let him go.

Out of the city, Yunzhu completely let go, generously wrapped around Cao Xun's waist, and put his head against his broad chest. The saddle under them moved regularly with the pace of the horses, and the golden full moon in the air seemed to move with their position, and the wilderness was flat and vast, without the tall and low dense courtyard walls of the capital, and the quiet moonlight became magnificent.

Yunzhu is going to be crazy when he sees it.

Cao Xun rubbed the tip of her hair with his chin: "In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival, but you have been out of the city like this?" ”

Yunzhu shook his head, except for occasionally going to Zhuangzi with his mother to stay for two days, Yunzhu never left the capital at night.

"From the outside, the moon seems to be bigger."

"The moon is bigger on the prairie."

Yunzhu's gaze retracted from the moon, and he looked up at the man above his head: "When you are at the border, you like to admire the moon?" ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation always seems to be associated with homesickness, and Cao Xun in the past ten years has indeed left his hometown.

Cao Xun looked at the moon and said: "I haven't specially appreciated it, but there is also a party at the border pass, and when I come back from the banquet, I will take a few looks." ”

Yunzhu's heart moved slightly: "What seat?" Is there a singer dancing? ”

Cao Xun laughed, and the laughter caused his chest to vibrate.

Yun Zhu was still waiting for his answer, but the man lifted her chin and kissed her without refusal.

.

The cold moonlight shines into the window, and it also illuminates the Tanhualang who is standing by the window with his hands and admiring the moon.

Cao Shao couldn't control his thoughts, and his mind was full of pictures of Yunzhu snuggling up to his eldest brother affectionately, and he had to feed his eldest brother crab roe.

Cao Shao knew very well that Yunzhu was deliberately working against her mother, who let her mother provoke her first.

Cao Shao didn't know if his mother would envy that kind of affection, but he was very envious, eager to take the position of the eldest brother, if he could do that, Yunzhu would take the initiative to give her whatever he wanted, without the need for his father-in-law to deliberately advise, and it was definitely not to maintain her pride in front of his mother.

If it is Xie Lang, Xie Lang will only be envious.

Cao Shao is different, he still has pain, because it was he who Yunzhu originally wanted to marry, and he had the opportunity to get it, but he lost it.

As the night deepened, Cao Shao lay lonely on the bed, tossing and turning to sleep, and when the sky became bright again, he had to force himself to smile so that he could go to the main courtyard to accompany his mother, brother and sister-in-law to dinner.

It's just that before he set off, the main courtyard sent a maid to pass the word: "Uncle Guo took his wife out of the city to admire the moon last night, saying that he would come back this evening, and asked Mrs. Tai to eat with you on time, and you don't have to wait for them." ”

Cao Shao smiled: "Okay, got it." ”

The maid finished her errand and turned to leave.

At the same time, Cao Shao's smile also disappeared.

The eldest brother is not the kind of person who has Yaxing, it must be Yunzhu who pulled the eldest brother out of the city to play, she is a fun-loving character, and she has to take care of some beautiful reputation before she gets married, and now that she is married, the eldest brother is willing to indulge her because of the guilt of the Ningguo Mansion, of course she wants to have a good time with her temperament.

"I will definitely marry a husband who I like more than you."

Cao Shao thought sadly that Yunzhu had been found.

Even if Yunzhu really marries him, he still has to be bound by his mother, and he can't be his own master like his eldest brother.

Such a big brother, how could Yunzhu not like it?

.

As Li Yong expected, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Yuanqing really issued a decree to go to Nanyuan for autumn hunting.

Nanyuan is more than 20 miles away in the south of the capital, there are many lakes, the grassland is vast, there are also steep mountains, it is the hunting place of the emperor left by the previous dynasty, after the founding of the Great Xia, the ancestors also like to hunt, deliberately expanded the scope of the Nanyuan hunting ground dozens of times, and built a palace in Nanyuan, for the emperor and concubine, the emperor's relatives and relatives to live comfortably for a period of time.

The Ningguo Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion are all on the list of accompanying nobles, and they are the kind that can bring their family members.

As soon as Yunzhu received the news, he began to prepare the clothes he was going to bring over, and he brought four or five sets of horse suits alone.

Cao Xun watched her carry a dress in front of the mirror, and reminded funny: "The emperor intends to choose a concubine for the eldest prince in this accompanying lady's show, you don't have to be too showy, so as to leave some opportunities for other ladies to perform." ”

Yunzhu glared at him in the mirror: "I look like this, as long as I go to the limelight, it will inevitably fall on me, no matter how confused the eldest prince is, he will not take a fancy to me, a married woman, what kind of heart do you mess with." ”

Cao Xun: "I'm afraid that you will be hated by other ladies." ”
