After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Time flies. Thanks to Xiao Taohong's daily prayers to God, August 15th was a sunny day without rain. The weather was clear during the day and the moon was full of stars at night.

Liu Ziheng was at the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Taohong, who had been prepared, was jumping and shouting, "Young Master, we can go now."

Liu Ziheng pinched the rabbit ears on Xiao Taohong's head, said "interesting" and let go.

Xiao Taohong said, "Yes, it's fake. The bunny ear hair that Sister Chunqiao combed for me is the best."

Hearing the word "Chun Qiao", the footsteps of the person walking in front paused, and she seemed to hear the crying of Aunt Five behind the courtyard. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, her family would no longer be reunited, but the temporary pain now and the joy in the future, Yingge thought about it and decided to continue walking.

Xue came out and gave them a few instructions, then leaned against the door and watched them leave. A group of children in the front yard sat on the wooden stones to admire the moon and eat moon cakes, and when they saw Yingge coming, they swarmed over, surrounded her and called her Brother Yingzi.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yingge showed up as promised and played a game of Cuju with them. She let them win a little and each of them got a mooncake. However, the mooncake was also what Xue asked Liu Wenru for, so it was limited to mooncakes. If they wanted other fruits, they were not available at that time. After all, she was not a savior and could only help when she was able.

The carriage was already ready at the door, and Yufeng was waiting beside it. As soon as he got on the carriage, a man hurried out of the door and shouted, "I want to go too."

Liu Ziheng said anxiously, "No, they didn't send you an invitation, why are you making trouble?" It was obvious that they had just had an argument.

Liu Abao snorted a few times, "It's okay if I don't go, but why did that little girl go too?"

She was talking about Xiao Taohong.

"That's where the maid must go."

Liu Abao laughed and said, "That's great. I'll be your maid. You can take me with you."

Yingge brushed away her hand that was pulling at her and said, "A maid can't do whatever she wants, so don't make a fuss."

When Xiao Taohong heard this, she immediately pulled Yingge's sleeve and said, "Master, please don't abandon me."

"Liu Abao, stop making trouble." After saying that, he took Xiao Taohong's hand and got on the carriage.

"Humph, I am worse than a servant."

Several maids and servants came inside and tried to persuade Liu Abao to go back.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and Mo City is crowded with people.

Outside the Chen family courtyard, there were also a lot of carriages and horses. Next to one of the carriages, someone was loading and unloading goods. Several other maids and servants were waiting by the side, laughing and ready to get on the carriage. A maidservant was lowering her head and holding a small wooden box bundle tightly in her arms.

Xiaocheng came running over and coughed. The maid raised her head happily when she heard the sound, her face turned pale. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the person was Chunqiao.

"The young master asked me to tell you to be cautious in everything you do."

Chunqiao nodded and said hesitantly, "Can I see the young master..."

She just asked this. If she really saw it, she wouldn't know what to say.

Xiaocheng's silence also let Chunqiao know the answer, so she could only shake her head silently and said, "I know. It's okay. I'll leave." Then she got on the carriage with several other maids.

Chunqiao sat in the swaying carriage, watching the full moon in the sky getting farther and farther away from her. She couldn't help but burst into tears. She didn't want others to see her expression, so she lowered her head and wiped away her tears silently. Don't cry, don't cry, what is there to cry about? She tried so hard to save herself, didn't she just want to live a good life? As long as she is alive, we will see each other again one day.

Under the full moon, the city of Mo is brightly lit. Since the government does not organize anything, everyone is free to do as they please. All the businesses, restaurants and streets in Mo City are hung with lanterns of various colors. The streets are crowded with people. People are having reunion dinners and calling their friends, bringing their families to celebrate the festival together. The streets are also very lively.

"Hey, look, the lanterns in Yuchun Garden are lit."

There are six mountain peaks outside Mocheng. The mountain ranges are continuous and the scenery is beautiful. It is the favorite summer resort for wealthy families to build private residences. Chunyutang is as famous as Yiyuan.

It was dim at night outside the city, and lights were lit in the mountains and forests, like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky. The people who saw this scene couldn't help but stop their noise. It was a pity that Chun Yutang was a private residence, and ordinary people couldn't get in. They could only watch from the outside.

The people looked at the carriages parked in front of Chun Yutang's door and wished they could go in instead of the people inside.

The lights at this point had just been lit when there was a sudden loud bang in the sky over there. It turned out to be the fireworks set off by the Chen family in Yiyuan.

Someone shouted, "The Chen family's fireworks are also beautiful."

So everyone ran to Yiyuan to watch the fireworks, and many passers-by stopped in the middle to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides.

"The government has said that they will not hold the Lantern Festival anymore, so these wealthy people are secretly competing with each other."

"Well, I feel that Chen Jiahui is better. You don't know that everyone in the Chen family is heard to be able to guess lantern riddles, but Chun Yutang only invites some literati and relatives and friends."

"What's the big deal? The Fu family said long ago that it's just Chun Yutang's poetry gathering. They don't invite those scholars. Are they going to invite a rough guy like you? If they invite you, can you write a poem?"

People were talking and laughing, and discussing the matter. Although it was a bit regretful, watching from afar gave them a sense of participation in the excitement.

There were many carriages at the door of Chun Yutang. Liu Ziheng and Yufeng were led by servants, so they did not seem to be in chaos. After the carriage stopped, Liu Ziheng jumped down, and there was already a servant waiting there.

"It's Master Ziheng, right?"

This was not the first time that Liu Ziheng had come to such an occasion, but most of the time he had come with his family elders, and the people who received him at that time were also elders. Today, when the servants called him "Master Ziheng", it seemed that he was already an adult.

Xiao Taohong also jumped off the carriage, and after jumping off, she and Buwang helped Yingge lift the curtain at the back. Yingge handed over the crutches in her hand first, and after getting off the carriage, Liu Ziheng stepped forward to support her. Yingge took the crutches and looked up at the sky. A full moon was hanging high in the sky, and she unconsciously recited

"Tonight the moonlight is exceptionally bright, its light filling the nine heavens. The heat has receded and the coolness has risen, all is quiet and the autumn scenery is beautiful. The stars are dimmed by the moonlight, and the wind and dew are as glittering as jade plates. Everything in the world is changing, as if you are in a jade palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted "good".

Yingge looked down and saw the shadow of the person under the lamp was dim and not very clear, so she could only nod from a distance.

“Good poetry.”

Liu Ziheng didn't recognize her either, but he was full of admiration in his heart, which was like speaking poetry. After those people finished praising her, they didn't come to say hello. He could only reach out and support Yingge and said loudly, "Yingge, let's go in quickly, so as not to keep Master Zijing waiting any longer."

His behavior still made Yingge feel a little embarrassed. Sure enough, after Liu Ziheng finished shouting, everyone's eyes were focused on her. Fortunately, the night was getting darker, covering up her slightly red face: "Okay, let's go."

The servant waiting on the side immediately stepped forward to guide them.

After the two left, the group of teenagers were indeed talking at the door.

"Yingge?"

"That's Yingge? Do you know him?"

"Haha, you didn't know that today's poetry reading was held for him!"

"This, how is this possible?"

"I'm telling you, I also know that the Fu family originally obeyed the government and did not plan to hold the event, but Master Zijing said that since they have promised someone, they must keep their promise."

"A promise is worth a thousand gold, a poem..."

"It is said that Yingge did it."

"Are you talking about this Yingge? She is indeed talented. Wasn't that poem just now written by her?"

"Why, just now, she wrote poetry again?"

There was a lot of discussion in front of the door, and those who came later, not knowing what was going on, joined in to ask out of curiosity, which then caused another commotion. Chun Yutang, which was already crowded, became even more chaotic.

Yingge and the others followed Xiao all the way to the depths of Chunyutang. The scale of this place is much larger than Yiyuan, with ancient bridges, strange rocks, and streams embellishing the scenery. No wonder it was Yiyuan that Prefect Liang wanted to borrow at the beginning, because it was more suitable for Lu Gongqing.

Yingge said, "The style of Chunyutang is completely different from that of Yiyuan. Now it seems that this place is more suitable for Lord Lu."

"Do you remember what Yiyuan looks like? I get nervous every time I go in, but I almost forget it after I see it."

Yingge thought to herself, not only did I go there twice, I also did something big each time I went there.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the path of the courtyard. There was a bridge and a lake under the bridge. There were several colorful lights floating on the water. The courtyard was full of joy. Xiao Taohong couldn't walk anymore, so Yingge and Liu Ziheng also stopped.

They talked and laughed along the way.

"It looks like a lot of people are coming in!"

"Well, yes, about one hundred and twenty people."

"You even know this?"

"I want to find out everything about Brother Yingzi."

Yingge was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you."

"Hehe, this isn't a god or anything, but what's more annoying is that Mr. Lin is here too."
