Chapter 41: The Moon and a Half with a Good Guest (I)
This is a small county town near Luoyang, the eastern capital, and it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival in August 15, and most of the people who travel far away are in a hurry to return home for reunion, but Mo Zhongqing and Bai Suyi have to hurry towards the south of the Yangtze River.

Originally, according to the plan, it was a smooth journey from Jiangling to hire a boat directly to the east, but unfortunately, the Yangtze River has been rising for months, and the water is turbulent, and several farmland and villages have been flooded one after another, and the people have been displaced and miserable. It was long past the flood season at this time of the year, so this happened quite unusually.
Although the imperial court has sent officials to provide disaster relief, and the situation is still under control, rumors have spread one after another. Some people say that it must be a boat that does not follow the rules and angers the dragon king in the water, some people say that it is the monsters in the mountains that make waves, and even more that this is a chaotic country that will not be a country.
Although this argument that the world is not chaotic was quickly extinguished in the embryonic stage by the imperial court, the boatmen who were full of money and relied on water to eat were sincerely afraid that they would stop crossing the incense and hold various sacrifices.
The two of them were so anxious because of Qi Yanzhi's instructions before leaving, that is, the drunken injury should be sooner rather than later, and it was best for this Zhu Guo and the prescription to be handed over to the owner of Zhuo Fang as soon as possible, so the two of them did not enter the big city or the official road along the way, and went straight east.
It's just that the people sitting in the carriage are not tired, but the horses will be tired, and the two of them entered the county town as usual to change horses, but they were told that they would close their doors on August 15. The two of them couldn't, so they had to find an inn to settle down along the street, and although this small county town is not as lively as Luoyang, the eastern capital, for Bai Suyi, who grew up in Taisufang, this street is full of green lights and red lights, and the colorful scenery is really a little chic.
Mo Zhongqing, who was worried about not being able to find a topic next to him, looked at Bai Suyi staring at the lantern without blinking, and said quickly: "The book says that the Luoyang Lantern Festival in the Eastern Capital is a must in the Central Plains, just go on this trip, and go with me on August 15 next year?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Zhongqing suddenly felt remorseful, and secretly annoyed that he didn't think about it in advance on such an important festival as August 15, and it must have a deep meaning for men and women to meet at night. I don't know Bai Suyi very well, and I don't even know if she has this meaning, will such an abrupt invitation scare her?
"Yes, no......"
Although Mo Shaoying is expressionless, but a heart has already been seven up and down, suffering from gains and losses, if it weren't for Bai Suyi still approaching, I'm afraid I would have to rush to ask God for divination, but this relationship between men and women is a first-class problem in the world, and even the gods have to retreat and stay away.
And the white plain clothes were admiring the lanterns at the moment, and he didn't know Mo Zhongqing's sad state of mind, and when he suddenly heard him ask like this, he turned around and chuckled generously: "Okay, a word is a certainty." At this time next year, we will go to the Luoyang Lantern Festival together. ”
This crisp tone made Mo Zhongqing stunned, thinking that she had heard badly, but when she saw her stroking her hair with one hand and pretending to aim at herself inadvertently, her heart moved inexplicably, and she couldn't help but think: "Look, even if she has been in the house for a long time, but this worldly truth is finally understood, so she understands it......?"
In fact, the relationship between men and women can be directly identified by one party, so that no matter whether it is successful or not, it will no longer be troubled, but most people in love will not have this kind of courage, because they are too afraid of losing, and they care too much about each other's feelings, so they add to the trouble in vain, and spend a lot of effort to find troubles, which is a disease, a common disease between lovers.
Unable to stop himself from continuing to think nonsense, Mo Zhongqing coughed dryly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the stall not far away, and said busily: "It seems to be quite lively over there, let's go over and take a look." ”
Bai Suyi looked at the situation, and followed behind with a soft response.
This kind of behavior made Mo Zhongqing's heart inevitably start to go up and down again, and now he regrets that he didn't ask the second senior brother Mo Shaoying for advice on how to win a woman's heart, and when he thought of the second senior brother, he naturally thought of the original promise, but he didn't regret his every move at the moment, and he vaguely had an answer in his heart, an answer that could convince him and the second senior brother.
Mo Zhongqing led Bai Suyi and lined up the crowd to the stall, only to find out that this was a stall dealing in women's jewelry.
Mo Shaoying was stunned on the spot, and glanced at Bai Suyi beside her, but saw that she was surprisingly calm on her face when she looked at these dazzling jewelry, and she didn't seem to be interested at all.
Of course, he also knew that this was not necessarily a real dislike, but when he was hesitating whether to ask, he heard the boss with an exotic accent praise: "This son, I see that you have an extraordinary bearing and a handsome appearance, and this girl next to you is also as beautiful as a fairy sable, and the things I have here are rare objects from Persia, how about it? ”
Mo Zhongqing touched his nose noncommittally, his mind was all on Bai Suyi, seeing her looking at the dazzling jewelry on the stall, her face was still ancient, and after thinking about it, she suddenly had an idea, and simply grabbed a jade bracelet with a smooth body and a slight blue color regardless of it, and flew to Bai Suyi's body, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, give it to you." ”
At the end, I was embarrassed and didn't forget to add in a whisper: "No, no, no." ”
Bai Suyi took the jade bracelet and played with it in his hand for a while, neither said to want it nor said no, but at this moment it was already smiling slightly, Mo Zhongqing saw that his heart was relieved, and he heard the boss who sold jewelry on the side give a thumbs up, and praised it hard: "Childe has good eyesight! This jade bracelet is called the ice glass bracelet, now it is noon, you see that it is blue jade, and at night it is blue and white, and this bracelet is worn in the morning and evening also has the effect of purifying the heart and nourishing the face. ”
Although the boss's accent sounded a little awkward, but what he said was also good, Mo Zhongqing couldn't help but feel comfortable in his heart, and said casually: "Then how much is this bracelet?" After thinking about it, he turned his head to Bai Suyi and said, "Come, I'll put it on for you." ”
This sentence is naturally not the tone of inquiry, Mo Zhongqing lightly held the left hand of Bai Suyi Mingyu Hao's wrist and gently put on the jade bracelet, the size was just right, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the boss said appropriately: "Look at the love between the son and the girl, how can I bear not to be an adult? ”
Mo Zhongqing, who was about to take out the broken silver, suddenly heard this, gasped, but exclaimed with Bai Suyi on the side: "Five hundred taels?"
The two of them said in unison, but the stall owner was stunned, Bai Suyi just wanted to take off the ice glass jade bracelet, but at this moment, the situation suddenly changed, the right shoulder was suddenly pulled, and the burden on the shoulder disappeared in an instant.
Seeing the sudden change in his complexion, Bai Suyi said: "Sutra!"
When Mo Shaoying heard this, he immediately followed, leaving the stall owner with a stunned face, and waited until the three of them disappeared into the crowd, and then cried and shouted to his mother: "! This is not an obvious robbery, return my bracelet!"
Of course, this bracelet is still wearing it on Bai Suyi's wrist, and her whole mind is on the burden of being robbed, which not only contains "Taisu Selected Scriptures", but also Mr. Qi's Zhu Guo and prescriptions, so the burden must be taken back.
How can the people who are not familiar with the place, and there are many pedestrians on the street, which greatly hinders the pace of the pursuit of the two, and the thief is through the alley, very familiar with the surroundings, chased for a while, and lost his trace in a corner, the two of them were in a hurry in the stunned eyes of everyone to perform light skills on the roof, and looked into the distance, but saw that this place is extremely long and narrow in all directions, and the street is blocked by the eaves on the side of the house, this time it is even more unclear, Bai Suyi is so anxious that his face is discolored, and Mo Zhongqing on the side has to comfort in a deep voice:" Don't worry, give me some time to figure out the directions!"
At this time, Mo Zhongqing wanted to move when he suddenly heard a short exclamation from the southwest, followed by a jingle of silver bells, the sound seemed to be soul-grabbing and terrifying, Mo Zhongqing secretly lucked the Dao Door to clear his heart, patted the stunned Bai Suyi, and said contemplatively: "This bell is weird, let's go and see." ”
With that, the first harrier turned over and galloped down the road.
When the two of them walked through the streets and alleys, they turned out of the corner where the bell came, and what came into their eyes was a pair of delicate lotus-like feet hanging under the ridge of the eaves.
At this time, the two silver bells tied with red silk on the left ankle were jingling with the shaking of the feet, and then looked up and saw a pink pleated skirt, smiling like a flower, looking about the cardamom Xiao Nizi was holding the burden of white plain clothes in her left hand, and holding a vermilion fruit as big as a goose egg in her right hand, opening her mouth to bite.
