Chapter 33 Mid-Autumn Festival

Author: Braised Egg Expert

Lu Chengfeng unfolded the note, and there was a word on it. Although the shape of the letter was simple, she still recognized it as Xie Jiuxiao's handwriting. The weather was hot, and he was reading and couldn't be disturbed, so Lu Chengfeng took up his pen and added at the back.

Two words.

June flew back soon, and there was an extra row of words underneath.

"one."

"What?"

"Copying is very boring, I want to go out."

"It's too hot to go out."

What responded to her was a crying face drawn in pen and ink.

Lu Chengfeng shook his head and laughed. He thought about it and wrote: Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. We will go out after your family dinner.

The Xie family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was nothing more than Xie Yi, Xie Yunqian, Zhou Lihua, and Xie Jiuxiao. The dinner table was almost always talking about recent business affairs and the situation between North Korea and China. Xie Yunqian listened attentively.

Xie Yi took a sip of the soup and looked a little tired. His body was not as good as before after he fell ill last time. He took the soup and medicine day by day. Xie Yi lived a long time and knew some things in his heart.

I'm afraid the time has come.

Xie Yi raised his head and glanced at Xie Jiuxiao, with a loving expression on his face, and said, "Jiuxiao."

Xie Jiuxiao smiled back.

Xie Yi said: "The food at the family banquet is not to your liking? Why do you eat so little?"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "The dishes are very rich, but my grandson is not hungry."

Xie Yi was not a rigid person. Seeing that he could not sit still, he asked, "Have you made an appointment?"

Xie Jiuxiao nodded: "Well, grandpa, do you want to go to the lantern festival with us?"

Xie Yi shook his head and sighed: "No, I won't mess around with you young people as long as I have the bones."

Xie Jiuxiao smiled sweetly: "Grandpa is always strong, but you are not allowed to talk about yourself like this."

Xie Yi was amused by his words, pondered for a moment, and said: "A while ago, your sister-in-law arranged for your marriage. You don't like the Han family and the Shi family. My dear grandson, do you have someone you like?"

Xie Yunqian and Zhou Lihua looked sideways at the same time.

Xie Jiuxiao said with a calm smile: "I just feel that the girls from the Han family and the Shi family are not suitable for me. Grandpa... I don't have anyone I like."

Xie Yi laughed and said: "You are not young anymore. Your eldest brother was engaged to your sister-in-law when he was your age. I have been working hard for the court all my life. My biggest wish is to live to see you get married.

"

Zhou Lihua said with emotion: "My grandfather is in good health and will live a long life."

Xie Yi shook his head, glanced at the three of them, and continued what he just said: "You have been manipulated by your elder brother since you were a child. You have an arrogant temper. You seem to be listening to the instructions of your elders, but you are very independent in your heart. I think about it carefully.

The girl from the Shi family is really too delicate to seduce you. Before anything happened to the Han family, girl Han's temperament was similar to yours. I'm afraid there will be more conflicts in the future, and her gentle temperament is too low... What do you think of Princess Anyang?"

Xie Jiuxiao's face froze: "Princess Anyang?"

Xie Yi smiled and said: "Princess Anyang has been admiring you since she was a child. If you are interested, your grandfather can also arrange this marriage."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at Xie Yunqian standing aside for help. Xie Yunqian coughed lightly and was about to speak. Xie Yi said calmly: "Speak for yourself. Don't ask your elder brother to help you with everything."

Xie Jiuxiao lowered her eyes unhappily and said, "Grandpa, I don't like Princess Anyang."

"Then do you have someone you like?"

Xie Jiuxiao's eyes were complicated. He didn't know if his grandfather had seen something, but then he thought about it. How could his grandfather know it if he had never even met him?

He raised his eyes slightly to answer, but met Xie Yi's loving and seemingly see-through look: "Grandson... grandson..."

I can't tell any lies.

Seeing him hesitating, Xie Yi didn't push him any further. He stood up and said, "That's it. I'm a little tired. I'm going back to the house to rest."

The three of them stood up after him and watched him go away. Xie Yunqian looked at Xie Jiuxiao suspiciously and said, "Who is it?"

Xie Jiuxiao felt much more relaxed when facing Xie Yunqian, and smiled lazily: "Brother, please stop making fun of me. There is no one around. The lantern festival is about to start. I have to leave."

As he walked out, Xie Yunqian smiled helplessly and sat back at the table with Zhou Lihua.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the morning, Lu Chengfeng informed Xie Jiuxiao that she was not at home. Lu Chengfeng gave a good reason. She bought a small house in the east of the city and wanted to take advantage of today to add to it. The two of them decided to stay in the east of the city.

We met at the street corner of the city.

Lu Chengfeng was walking from the alley to Dongshi. Tonight was the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night. Many people were going out in the quiet streets in the past. Neighbors gathered under the trees by the moat, and children played and played.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but take a few more glances. Not far after crossing the bridge was East Street. The East Market night market was extremely lively today, and everyone had a rabbit lantern.

She bought two flower masks from the street vendor. When she arrived at the street corner, Xie Jiuxiao stood quietly under the flagpole of the wine shop, holding a lantern in one hand and holding the other behind her back, looking up at the moon.

Lu Chengfeng stopped and stood looking at him from a distance.

Xie Jiuxiao was wearing a clean aqua-blue brocade dress today, which gave her a natural sense of indolence. Her face was extremely outstanding, and she could attract people to stop and take a peek without even doing anything. But even if there were no people around her,

He was escorted by guards, but the alienation on his body was as cold as the moonlight, making passers-by afraid to talk boldly.

People look like shadows under the moon, and they are truly worthy of the saying that the beauty is unique and unique in the world.

He didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes were in a trance until Lu Chengfeng approached. He turned his head and saw Lu Chengfeng, and suddenly smiled and approached: "Sister."

Lu Chengfeng felt inexplicably soft in his heart and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "It didn't take long."

He saw the mask on Lu Chengfeng's hand and said happily: "Is this for me?"

Lu Chengfeng handed it to him and said, "We'll go to the lantern festival later. Your face looks too ostentatious, so you'd better cover it up."

Xie Jiuxiao made happy gestures on her face twice and said, "It's so beautiful."

Lu Chengfeng smiled faintly and put on his own first. Xie Jiuxiao handed the lantern in his hand to her and said, "I saw a nice one on the way when I came here."

Lu Chengfeng took it, stared at the lotus-shaped lamp, and said sincerely: "It's very beautiful."

Xie Jiuxiao said: "...Is it better-looking or am I better-looking?"

Lu Chengfeng laughed and raised his head: "How old are you, and you still compare yourself to a lamp?"

The two walked forward while talking, Xie Jiuxiao said: "But you have never praised me for my good looks. Am I not as handsome as a tree in the wind?"

Lu Chengfeng said helplessly: "Yes, yes, you are the most beautiful. No lantern in the street can compare with you."

Xie Jiuxiao smiled: "Sister, too."

"What is it?"

"The lanterns all over the street are not as beautiful as you."

Under the mask, Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't want a child who lies."

"How can you lie?" Xie Jiuxiao passed by a stall and stopped to look at it. His house was full of real jade and famous porcelain, so he was naturally not tempted by these fake and imitation things. He just went out to have fun, and while looking at it, he said: "I said that.

It's all true."

"And..." Xie Jiuxiao looked at her sideways: "I'm eighteen, not a child."

Xie Jiuxiao gestured at their height and said, "I am taller than you now."

Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly and walked forward. Xie Jiuxiao quickly followed. People were crowding around him. The two of them watched and watched. They witnessed the Lantern Festival on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and followed the people to release sky lanterns.

Dance the fire dragon, and soon the moon will reach the top of the willow tree.

The two of them were a little tired from shopping, so they bought some food and sat under a secluded willow tree, taking off their masks.

Xie Jiuxiao looked up at the moon and said, "The moon is so beautiful tonight."

Lu Chengfeng also looked at him and remained silent.

Xie Jiuxiao looked at the bright moon, which was as round as a jade plate, and said softly: "Sister... autumn is coming soon."

"kindness."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at her sideways: "After you leave the house, if I want to see you, can I go to you?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Of course."

"Will you not see me?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at the moon and smiled, saying, "No."

"Any time?"

Lu Chengfeng thought for a moment and looked at him: "Okay."

Xie Jiuxiao's heart moved slightly: "...Sister."

Lu Chengfeng turned his head and smiled faintly: "I have a younger brother who is about the same age as you. If he were still around, you might have the same temperament and become very good friends."

Xie Jiuxiao's eyes dimmed, and she forced a smile and said, "That's right, then you must love him very much."

"kindness."
