Chapter 45: The Full Moon
The moon is bright in the sky, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
The bright moonlight is like silver frost, reflecting the Panfu Guanhai Pavilion almost like day.
Inside the house, in the hall.
Yu Shuang and her sister Yu Xueying are sitting around a bamboo table to eat, there are four dishes and one soup on the table, the dishes are all meat dishes, and the soup is also made of bones, for Shuang, this is really a hearty dinner.
Yu Xueying's pretty face was bulging, but she was still trying to pull the rice in the bowl, if she didn't know, most of them would think that this picture must have been hungry for a few days and nights, Yu Shuang sat aside and frowned, and said angrily: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you!"
Yu Xueying smiled at him when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with vegetable leaves, but she was eating on a whim, and even a few rice grains were stained on her forehead, it seemed that this meal was still quite delicious.
She smacked her mouth, didn't pay attention to it at all, and said happily: "Brother, you eat quickly, if you don't eat again, you will be eaten up by Ying'er alone." ”
Yu Shuang looked at her with a wolf-gobbling posture, and didn't feel funny, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, reached out and wiped a few rice grains on his sister's face, and said with a smile: "Brother is not hungry, mine will also be given to you." As he spoke, he sent the rice that had not moved a few times in his hand to Yu Xueying's table, clasped his hands, leaned on the table, and looked at his sister intently.
Yu Xueying's face flushed, only to realize if she was a little overdone, her brother hadn't moved a few chopsticks yet, and there was not much left of the food on the table that she had pulled for herself, she blinked her eyes, put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, looked at Yu Shuang with a little embarrassment, and muttered: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm too hungry." ”
Yu Shuang smiled slightly, reached out and touched Yu Xueying's head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not hungry anyway, you can eat quickly, I have a day of class today, I'm afraid I'm tired, rest early after eating." ”
Yu Xueying said, "Thank you, brother!" After speaking, she continued to eat happily.
Yu Shuangzhi looked at Yu Xueying, feeling quite relieved in her heart, and did not interrupt her for a while.
After about half a cup of tea, the table full of delicious dishes was wiped out by Yu Xueying alone, she breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair contentedly, stretched out her little hand, gently stroked the slightly protruding belly, lazily closed her eyes, and said with great interest: "Finally full, the most proud thing in life is to fill your stomach, brother, do you say?"
Yu Shuang snorted and laughed, glanced at Yu Xueying, wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand, and said angrily: "People are big ghosts, Uncle Pan thinks that the two of us can eat it, so every time the dishes are delivered, it is the amount of four people, you always want to lick the plate, and if you don't control it, you will become the second little fat in the future." ”
Yu Xueying leaned her head back on the chair, her face was slightly gloomy when she heard the words, she squinted and stared at Yu Shuang, smiled, and didn't care at all.
Yu Shuang stood up and said, "I'm going to rest, you should rest early, don't be late for class tomorrow." ”
Yu Xueying stuck out her tongue at him, made a grimace, leaned back on the chair, curled up, and stepped on the edge of the chair with her two little feet, comfortably holding her stomach, looking contented.
Yu Shuang looked at her sister and smiled bitterly, shook her head, and walked towards her room.
Yu Shuang's room was next to Yu Xueying's room, Yu Shuang walked into the room, the mottled moonlight was like water, faintly shining in from the window, and lying diagonally on the ground, he walked to the window, and did not light a candle, but looked out through the bright moonlight.
The night breeze is blowing, and the surface of the lake is rippling with brilliant ripples, like blinking stars, looming in the lake.
The candles on the white jade bridge are bright, Yu Shuang looks into the distance, and the shadow of the pavilion in the lake is reflected in the lake water in the distance, swaying gently in the water, which seems a little bleak and desolate. The lights in the Lake Pavilion have not been extinguished at this moment, I wonder if Uncle Pan has slept?
He looked up at the night sky, and saw the bright moon hanging high, and the cool moonlight seemed to occupy the night light of all the stars in the dark night sky.
The figure of his parents suddenly appeared in his mind, he sighed faintly, he had been in the Pan Mansion for more than two months, this was also the first time he missed his parents, I wonder if they are okay in heaven? He silently made a wish in his heart, only hoping that his parents would have a spirit in the sky and be able to bless Ying'er and himself to be safe.
He slowly lowered his head, there were faint tears flashing in his eyes, he leaned against the window alone and sighed, a smiling girl in purple suddenly appeared in his mind, occupying all his thoughts, that shallow smile, those two charming dimples, and her words "silly boy, just me!" seemed to faintly sound in his ears.
He suddenly smiled, the playmate who had been close to him since childhood, her voice and smile had already been deeply engraved in his heart, and she had not been seen for many days, as if she had never been separated for such a long time from childhood to adulthood.
His lips moved slightly, he slowly raised his head, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Ziyi, are you okay?" This sentence seems to be said to her heart, but can she hear it from a distance?
In troubled times, who cares about this insignificant joys and sorrows?
"Brother, what are you doing, why don't you light the lamp?" Yu Xueying's voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting his thoughts.
Yu Shuang turned around when she heard the sound, and under the illumination of the moonlight, her sister Yu Xueying held a large wooden basin in both hands, slowly walked to the bed, put the wooden basin in her hand on the ground, got up and looked at him, with a smile on her face, and said, "Brother, why are you in a daze at the window? Come here, Ying'er will wash your feet." ”
Yu Shuang's back was to the moonlight, and the look on his face was naturally invisible to Yu Xueying, he fixed his mind and muttered: "I'm looking at the moon, Ying'er, you see how bright the moon is today, it looks like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
Yu Xueying's face is like silver frost, and her teeth are like snow, in the cold moonlight, her bright red figure seems to be particularly eye-catching, and she takes two steps to the window, her eyes are curious, and she stands side by side with Yu Shuang, looking out of the window. A pair of big watery eyes seemed to be a bright mirror, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Rouyi, pointed forward, turned his head to Shuang Waner and said, "Brother, look at the bridge, there is a big bad wolf!"
"Where?" Yu Shuang was startled, and looked at the bridge with wide eyes, only to see that under the bright moonlight, the dusky white jade bridge was empty!
Yu Shuang Deng understood that he was being teased by his sister once, he had an idea, stretched out his hand and pointed to the white jade bridge, and exclaimed: "Ying'er, look, there are crickets on the bridge that only shine!"
"What?" Yu Xueying was startled, looking sideways at the bridge, but before she could fix her eyes, Yu Shuang had already laughed "haha" on the side.
The bridge was empty, Yu Xueyingyu's face sank, turned her head to look at Yu Shuang, Yu clenched her fist, gently smashed Yu Shuang's chest twice, her small mouth flattened, and she said angrily: "It's really annoying, my brother knows how to deceive people, I ignore you." As he spoke, he turned and walked away.
Yu Shuang stretched out her hand to grab Yu Xueying, stretched out her fingers, gently scraped the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, my brother is wrong, I will accompany you." ”
Yu Xueying's cheeks were calm, her mouth was pouting, and she looked unappreciative.
Yu Shuang smiled and twisted Yu Xueying's cheeks, and said softly: "Brother will buy you rock sugar gourds to eat tomorrow, as well as mung bean cakes and fried buns, all the things you like to eat will be bought for you, don't be angry, you know?"
"Really?" Yu Xueying was overjoyed when she heard this, her eyes flashed, she stretched out her little hand, counted her fingers, and said happily: "There are also roasted sweet potatoes, roasted white potatoes, and white fungus soup." ”
Yu Shuang nodded, touched Yu Xueying's head, and said with a smile: "I can't do less, I will buy them all for you." Saying that, he pinched his sister's cheek and teased: "Let you eat as a little fat man, see how you still climb trees and dig birds' eggs, and do bad things." ”
Yu Xueying was overjoyed, kissed Yushuang on the forehead, pulled Yu Shuang to sit at the head of the bed, and said with a smile: "Brother, Ying'er washes your feet, usually you wash Ying'er's feet, Ying'er also has to help her brother wash his feet this time, this is called Zhi'en Tubao." She squatted down, helped Yu Shuang take off his shoes and socks, soaked his feet in the water, and rubbed a pair of small hands back and forth on Yu Shuang's feet.
Yu Shuang suffocated for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, I learned a new idiom again, I have to study hard in the future, I can't be sloppy, you know?"
Yu Xueying smiled and said, "Ying'er knows, I will learn a lot of new idioms in the future, and I will recite them to my brother." ”
Yu Shuang was really happy when he heard this, he raised his eyes to look out the window, recalled the kind faces of his parents, and said in his heart: Dad, mother. Did you see it, Ying'er is sensible......
The bright moon has passed the middle of the day, and it is already quiet outside the house, when there is a sudden knock on the door.
Yu Shuang and Yu Xueying were startled, and looked at the door together, Yu Shuang frowned, and was about to speak, but Yu Xueying had already shouted: "Please come in!"
The person outside the door pushed open the door when he heard the sound, and slowly walked in, Yu Shuang looked intently, only to see that this person was dressed in the clothes of Pan's subordinates, about twenty years old, with good facial features and a gentle complexion. In Xia Han Yu, Pan Gongzi is invited, please ask Yu Shuang Gongzi to go to the Huzhong Pavilion to discuss matters. ”
"What?" Yu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "It's so late, is there anything urgent for Uncle Pan to find me?"
Han Yu hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "This, I don't know about it, and Yu Shuang Gongzi will naturally know if he goes." ”
Yu Xueying pursed her cheeks, looked up at Han Yu, and muttered, "It's so late, let's go again tomorrow, my brother is going to rest." ”
Han Yu smiled at Yu Xueying, turned his head to look at Yu Shuang, and bowed his hand again: "Mr. Pan came to invite him late at night, he has something important to discuss, if it is convenient for Mr. Yu Shuang, please go down with him." ”
"Something important?" Yu Shuang said suspiciously, he pondered for a moment, and bowed back to Han Yu: "There is this brother Lao, I will go now." ”
Han Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, straightened up and walked outside the door to wait.
The corners of Yu Xueying's mouth twitched, and she said angrily: "Uncle Pan has something important, I have to call you so late." ”
Yu Shuang smiled bitterly and said sadly: "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Pan is our benefactor, no matter when you want to see me, I will go." ”
Yu Xueying dried Yu Shuang's feet, put on shoes and socks for him, got up and yawned, stretched out, and muttered: "Brother goes early and returns early, Ying'er is going to sleep." ”
Yu Shuang got up and said with a smile: "Go back to sleep, you are not allowed to be late for class tomorrow!"
Yu Xueying turned around and stuck out her tongue at him, made a grimace, turned around and walked to the door, and then turned back and admonished: "Remember what you promised Ying'er, you are not allowed to break your promise tomorrow." With that, he turned and walked to his room.
Yu Shuang glanced at her and said with a wry smile: "Glutton!" With that, he got up and walked out of the door with Han Yu.
