24. Tang Xi night, Yao Xi falls
The Begonia Festival is the most prosperous for three days and nights. This night is also the night when the soul of the woman named "Pear Song" returns, so it is called "Tang Pear Night". Set up a banquet along the river, the river lights go far, the sky lights are ethereal, and the bells shake gently. Everyone is here, dressed in white shirts, with a pear blossom on their bodies, thrown into the water, the flowers sink to the bottom of the water, and the dead are safe.
The banquet starts from the front hall of the Song Mansion, goes around the front yard for a week, the gate is opened, and goes out along the street, as for the riverside, the riverside is full, all people, the city is dressed in white, such as snow and practice. On the green willows on the riverside, according to the begonia flower branches, all hang lanterns, write the name of the dead, pray to the sky, wish to return in the next life, and then continue the frontier.
In the Song Mansion, the hall is full of lanterns, although the light and shadow are swaying, compared to the outside of the house, it is also a lot bleak. There are a few words on the lamp, all of which are just one person's name - Pear Song.
Song Chan sat on the main seat, the main seat faced south, facing the door, and the east and west were divided into two seats, and the square table was lined up. There are several pear branches on the table, a furnace of sandalwood, and a small number plate, all of which are plain and elegant, and they are in line with the demeanor of Song Zen. Mo Siqing and Luo Yaozhan in the east are the first table, and Song Tang Ember in the west is the first table, and the people below them are all people from the Song Mansion.
Although this Tang pear night, the front hall of the Song Mansion should be the home field, but this home field is very cold, the door is separated by an enchantment outside the door, while the bleak and desolate, while looking at the staggered, to the real thinking of different people, different things, this situation is also different. The woman's desperate sacrifice five hundred years ago, in the eyes of these five hundred years, how much remains of the only remaining friendship? Look at this night sky, look at this night place, except for this white clothes, the lights are faint, and the light and shadow are flickering.
"Siqing," Luo Yaozhan tilted her head and said in a low voice, "You say, what is this Tang pear night for?" β
"Yaoyao," Mo Siqing hugged Luo Yaozhan, "You're right, Lige - how much do you know."
"Pear Song...... Is it her mother?"
"Hmm. β
"Oh, look at the other side, there's an understanding. β
Just as the two of you came and went, a white-clothed maid had already brought Tang pear wine to the table, and after a little blessing, she retreated.
Luo Yaozhan was about to pick up the wine cup, Mo Siqing held her hand and smiled slightly. Luo Yaozhan smiled lightly, her heart warmed, but she patted the hand covering her hand with her other hand, indicating that it was okay.
Luo Yaozhan picked up the wine cup, shook it, and swallowed it in one gulp. Mo Siqing's face changed slightly.
"Yaoyao. β
Luo Yaozhan smiled lightly:
"Siqing, you said, if you drink and lose your soul, shouldn't you faint? β
"You girl. Mo Siqing was helpless.
Luo Yaozhan seemed to be dizzy, leaning on Mo Siqing, extremely powerless.
"City Lord Song," Mo Siqing said lightly.
"What is the matter with the Mo Palace Master? Song Chan replied.
"Yaoyao is not strong enough to drink, and she is not feeling well at this time, so leave first, forgive me. "Although the words are plain, they cannot be violated, cold as the moon, light as cold.
"Even like this, it is not good for Song to stay with Xianjun. It's better for Song to send someone to send Xianjun back, and the Mo Palace Lord stays, and also let Song do his best as a landlord. β
"Yaoyao, can you. Mo Siqing ignored Song Chan, and just asked Luo Yaozhan softly, for fear of disrupting her plan.
Luo Yaozhan shook her head slightly, brushed the broken hair around her ears, made a slightly drunken appearance, and said:
"Siqing, today's Tangli night, it's inconvenient for you to leave. I'm fine, just leave on my own. β
"Yaoyao, be careful. β
"Father, it's better for Ember to send the Immortal Monarch back to the house. β
Song Tang got up and looked at Song Chan slightly, with no sadness or joy in his eyes, and no focus. The color of the rouge did not hide the paleness of her face in the slightest, but only made her look even more haggard. The stubbornness faintly revealed in his eyes was hidden in the ancient well, and the dark tide was surging.
After hearing this, Song Chan remembered the death of Li Ge back then, and was a little angry, and he was about to refuse. But the moment he and Song Tangyan looked at each other, although the stubbornness in her eyes was well hidden, it did not escape his eyes after all. With a slight sigh, he nodded.
Song Tang Ember helped Luo Yaozhan out of the front hall. In the carved corridor in the backyard, Luo Yaozhan changed her previous sick state, but Song Tang was still haggard. The two of them walked side by side in the backyard, both in white, one was fairy-fairy, lonely and proud, one was sicker than Xizi, plain and elegant like an orchid, the pear blossom fell in a trance with her back, and the beauty was like a flower across the clouds.
"How do you know I'm pretending? Still is...... You knew there was something wrong with the wine. Luo Yaozhan smiled slightly.
"Whether there is a problem with the wine, Tang Ember doesn't know, but Tang Ember knows a thing or two about Xianjun's ability. Song Tang replied with a faint smile.
But City Lord Song didn't seem to suspect it, why was this. β
"This, Tang Ember doesn't know. β
"I'm afraid it'sβit's only because I'm in the mountains. β
Luo Yaozhan stopped and sneered at Song Tang's ember. I twisted a pear blossom with just the right branch, and with a light breath of orchid, the pear blossom swept into the air along the wind.
Song Tangyan's face changed slightly, but he still looked joyless and sad, so sluggish...... There must have been a deep sense of despair.
"Luo Xianjun, after all, it was planted by my mother, please don't touch the pear blossoms in the courtyard. β
"Let's talk about Ling Ci. Luo Yaozhan sat on the eaves of the pool under the rockery, fiddling with the water in the pool with one hand, as if she was saying casually.
"Why is Xianjun interested in his mother?" asked Song Tangyan, half-squatting down to gather the pear blossoms falling beside him and throw them into the pool.
"That'...... Tell me about him. β
Song Tang Ember looked at Luo Yaozhan's gaze, and saw that under the pear blossoms, the purple-clothed man had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, as if he had stepped on the snow, Ying Ying smiled lightly, three points of evil charm, seven points of affection. He stretched out his hand towards Song Tangyan, and her blood-colored eyes clearly reflected her.
"Ash, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much, can you miss your husband?"
Song Tang's expression finally changed, and all kinds of panic flashed in his eyes. She never thought that Ye Xi would be so bold that she would break into the Song Mansion at night to look for her, and in a panic, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Yexi, why are you here, didn't you say ......" seemed to remember that there were still others here, and Song Tangyan's words came to an abrupt end.
"Alas, I have been thinking about it day and night to come to you, and you are really heartless. β
Luo Yaozhan sat on the rockery, watched the play for a long time, and when she saw the two of them, she spoke:
"What? β
"Oh?" Ye Xi noticed Luo Yaozhan at this time, "It turned out to be ...... You're the funny girl. β
"The Demon Lord recognizes me? How do I remember we've never met. "Luo Yao Zhan plays with taste.
"Ah Ye, do you recognize?" Song Tang Ember walked to Ye Jin's side, his eyes slightly dark.
"I guess I know. Yexi looked at Song Tang's expression beside him, and the corners of his mouth rose, which was a little dark.
"To put it this way, the matter of the Thousand Illusion Forest is really the work of your Demon Realm. Luo Yaozhan's eyes sank, and her tone was a little cold.
"Well, that's a mistake. Although I knew you in the Thousand Illusions Forest, the Demon Realm couldn't do such a lack of morality. Ye Xi sneered.
"Isn't there enough evil in the demon world to do it? Song Tang Ember glanced at Ye Xi coldly and distanced himself from him.
"Tell me what happened back then. Luo Yaozhan said, looking serious.
