30. Chapter 30

The two good brothers were hiding in a corner while eating and chatting, and Princess Huofeng led her group of girlfriends and friends to find her, and the voice came before the person arrived: "You two old men, how can you find some quiet corners to whisper?!"

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Du Long and Yue Xiaoshan hurriedly got up and bowed.

Princess Huofeng waved her hand casually, and then led all the beauties to sit down unceremoniously around Du Long's seat, and before Du Long sat down, Princess Huofeng said eagerly: "Du Long!

"Dare to love the Fire Phoenix Princess is anxious to come over because she is curious about this matter?" Du Long thought secretly, everyone around him stretched their necks and prepared to listen to him tell the details of the trouble in the Drunken Xianglou, even Yue Xiaoshan was no exception, no one was not curious that there were people in the imperial capital who dared to go wild in the Drunken Xianglou!

So, like a storyteller, Du Long began to exaggerate part of his legendary experience appropriately, and told it carefully, and the smug look on his face was overflowing!

This one is talking and laughing, Du Long obviously became the protagonist, this scene made many people unacceptable, just two years ago, the grandson of the Du family didn't even have the face to participate in the New Year's celebration, the reason was that he was rejected by everyone!

After several times in a row, he began to refuse to participate in this kind of New Year's celebration party, no matter how much Du Mu Zhou Ruoxue persuaded him, it was useless!

Do the math, Du Long hasn't been here to participate in this New Year's celebration for two years, and the cultivation waste that everyone avoided in the past is not only not weak now, but even his popularity is gradually rising, it's really time to run!

In the distance, in the crowd surrounding Fan Tong, Zhao Lin'er was obviously ostracized, and even Li Xiaojun ignored her, which made her really hurt!

Looking at Du Long in the distance surrounded by stars in the corner of the moon, Zhao Lin'er kept drinking, and every time she poured a glass of wine into her stomach, the hatred in her heart became stronger!

Every time I think of the New Year's celebration in previous years, I am also one of the protagonists of the stars holding the moon, and now, the daughters of the same status as me, especially the girlfriends who had a good relationship with me in the past, are all hiding far away, as long as they see themselves approaching, they all run away one by one!

What made her even more angry was that her father and mother didn't let her participate in the New Year's celebration this morning, and in the end, she begged in every way to be able to participate in this party!

There is a huge gap between the front and back, and the daughter of the Zhao family, who is not rigorous in her style, never thought of finding the reason from herself, but blamed all the reasons on Du Long!

"Du Long! If you hadn't leaked the secret, I, Zhao Lin'er, would not have ended up like this! If I don't take revenge, I, Zhao Lin'er, will not be a person!" Pouring a large glass of wine into his stomach, Zhao Lin'er looked at Du Long in the crowd in the distance with extremely resentful eyes, and secretly swore a poisonous oath in his heart......

The New Year's celebrations in the palace began in the morning and lasted until midnight after the feasting time, during which the left and right sides of the Chengde Hall provided a large number of rooms for the ministers to rest.

When these ministers and their families were tired of playing, they would go into the wing room to play chess, or chat, and they could also lean back in their chairs and take a nap, in short, they were not allowed to leave the palace at will until midnight.

As the New Year's bell is ringed, the Taoist fireworks shoot from the beacon towers at the four corners of the palace, bursting into dazzling light, and hundreds of people in the imperial capital rush to watch this magnificent fireworks spectacle.

With the colorful fireworks rising in the palace, each household also lit the firecrackers prepared in their homes, and the sound of artillery battles in various parts of the capital came and went, and the whole capital was filled with a joyful New Year's atmosphere!

In a courtyard in the east chamber of Du Mansion, bursts of laughter and laughter continued to sound, many maids and servants in charge of the east chamber gathered in this courtyard to celebrate the New Year, as the fireworks in the palace continued to bloom, everyone's eyes were all attracted to the past, and bursts of laughter sounded more enthusiastically.

All night, Xia Qinglian was surrounded by all the maids, some chatted with her, some toasted her, and received Mrs. Du's instructions early in the morning, these maids and servants all knew that this beautiful girl was Madame's new daughter, and she was also the nominal lady of Du Mansion!

While everyone was admiring the fireworks that continued to bloom in the direction of the palace, a delicate figure quietly left the crowd without attracting anyone's attention, and walked slowly towards the back garden of the Du Mansion.

Walking in this palatial mansion, remembering the story of Dream of Red Mansions that Du Long told herself, Xia Qinglian couldn't help but feel sad, in this situation, isn't she the incarnation of Lin Daiyu in that story?!

That feeling of being under the fence, even if everyone in this mansion is very good to them, they are never really family!

'It's Chinese New Year's Eve again, I wonder if my father and mother who are exiled in the desert frontier can have a meal to eat? Is it like Qinglian, thinking of distant relatives?!' Standing in the garden pavilion, a weak shadow slanted with the pavilion pillars, looking to the west with teary eyes, she only knew that her parents were somewhere in that direction.

A cold wind appeared out of thin air, and she seemed to feel a little cold on her body, Xia Qinglian reached out and tightened the snow fox round-neck cloak on her body, her outfit was still made by the tailor of Dufu today, not only warm but also very beautiful, which shows Mrs. Du's care for herself.

With the cold wind, the snowflakes of the road fell with the wind, and it has been very cold since the beginning of winter this year, but it does not snow, and the first snow of the new year actually fell on this Chinese New Year's Eve!

Looking at the snowfall with tears, Xia Qinglian couldn't help but stretch out her crystal jade hand, letting the snowflakes scatter on the palm, feeling the coolness along her arms and into her whole body, this beautiful woman couldn't help but sing softly.

"One is Langyuan Immortal, the other is beautiful jade, flawless, if you say that there is no strange fate, if you meet him again in this life, if you say that there is a strange fate, how to end up with a virtual obstacle..."

In this situation, the song "Vain Eyebrows" reveals infinite sadness, floating in this large garden, and on this Chinese New Year's Eve, no one will run to the cold back garden to drink the northwest wind.

With the singing, the snow in the garden became thicker and thicker, and Xia Qinglian, who was in a miserable situation, didn't notice that the fireworks in the direction of the palace had stopped setting off for a long time, nor did she hear a burst of sizzling footsteps on the east side of the back garden, and someone was stepping on the snow.

Standing on the curved bridge not far from the pavilion, Du Long quietly looked at the weak figure of Yuli in the pavilion with his right hand on his back, he suddenly felt that he shouldn't tell Xia Qinglian about the story of Dream of Red Mansions, as long as anyone becomes Lin Daiyu, there will be no good end!

Standing outside the pavilion for a long time, Du Long secretly made up his mind and continued to walk towards the pavilion.

In the pavilion, the sound of stepping on the snow that was getting closer and closer finally woke up the poignant woman in the pavilion, and she raised her tear-stained face in a little panic, Xia Qinglian saw Du Long, who was looking at her with pity.

Looking at this handsome young man who was dressed in a purple robe, still wearing a flat crown on his head, starry eyes, and compelling, Xia Qinglian panicked for no reason, and her face, which was still full of tears, couldn't help but flush with a wisp of redness.

The two looked at each other, and they didn't open their mouths for a long time to break the peace, and each was able to read a lot of information from each other's eyes!

"Qinglian, on such a cold day, why did you run into the back garden alone and cry your nose?!hehe!" As if wanting to dispel the oppressive atmosphere, Du Long finally spoke half-jokingly.

Xia Qinglian was so teased by him, she couldn't help but show a shy smile, her smile was full of tears, and she gave a salute and responded softly: "Let the son laugh! Qinglian just thought of her father and mother in the distance, so she felt tears and hoped that the son would forgive me!"

"On this Chinese New Year's Eve, it is also common for people to miss distant relatives!" Du Long waved his hand disapprerovingly and continued: "I heard you singing that vain brow just now, it seems that the story of Dream of the Red Chamber has touched you deeply! Qinglian, I hope you can listen to my advice!"

"Childe, but it's okay to talk about it! Qinglian will definitely keep Childe's teachings in mind!" Xia Qinglian blinked lightly, staring at Du Long with an open mind.

"Qinglian! I know that you must now associate yourself with Lin Daiyu in the Dream of Red Mansions, and feel that you are Lin Daiyu under the fence in the book, which is very bad! You should try to change yourself, for example, to improve your strength in cultivation, so that you can have a foothold in this world in the future!" Du Long said what he thought in his heart with a sincere face.

Shaking her head slightly, Xia Qinglian sighed: "Alas, Childe doesn't know, Qinglian also has similar problems to Childe, although she can sense the existence of Haotian Gang Qi, she can't absorb and refine any Haotian Gang Qi!"

"......" Du Long was a little dumbfounded, "There are still people in this world who have similar physical problems as themselves?!"

"Boy!" In his mind, the voice of Ling'er, a beautiful woman who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sounded again: "Why do you think I asked you to take the initiative to contact this Xia Qinglian in the first place?" Hehe, Aunt Ben never does loss-making business, she is a rare Xuanyin body, and ordinary exercises are useless to this kind of person!"
