Moon frost snow

He Yue looked around and saw a guqin not far away. She said to Guo Yulan, "Didn't you just say that you like playing the guqin the most? I know a poem. I'll teach you. If you practice a little in the next two days, you will definitely be unique by the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Mo Yiyun and Guo Yulan looked at He Yue excitedly. He Yue smiled and said, "Well, I can't play the piano. How about you listen to me sing it first, and then you play along. How about you sing while playing?"

Guo Yulan nodded, "Okay, let's get started!"

He Yue took a sip of water, cleared her throat, and sang, "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky. I wonder what year it is in the palace of heaven. I want to ride the wind and return, but I am afraid that the jade buildings are too cold up there. I dance with my shadow, it doesn't seem like I'm in the human world..."

He Yue sang to them "Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear" by the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi.

The three of them clapped in surprise after hearing it. Guo Yulan clapped her hands and said, "Yue'er, you are really amazing. This song and these lyrics are so suitable for singing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You must have written this song specifically for the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

He Yue said embarrassedly, "This was not written by me. It was written by a man named Su Shi."

Guo Yulan continued to smile and said, "You are quite good, you can turn poetry into songs that are both pleasant to listen to and easy to remember."

He Yue smiled helplessly, "I heard this song too."

Mo Yiyun said, "I have never heard of this song. How did you hear it?"

He Yue covered her head and immediately changed the subject, "Can we not talk about the song first? Let's practice first. You play and I sing, and you sing along. Once you remember the lyrics, you can practice more on your own."

Guo Yulan nodded, "Okay."

Guo Yulan played the piano, He Yue sang, and Guo Yulan sang along, with catchy lyrics and beautiful piano music.

Mo Yiyu and Lu He, who were standing by, were fascinated by the sound. Even the maids and servants in the mansion who could hear the sound stopped what they were doing out of curiosity and listened for a while.

He Yue and Mo Yiyun stayed with Guo Yulan until it was almost dark in the afternoon before they were let go. He Yue was only let go after she promised to go see her performance on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mo Yiyun had just sent He Yue to the village entrance, and He Tian was already standing there waiting.

He Tian saw He Yue getting out of the carriage and walked up to her, "Yue'er, you're back."

He Yue asked, "Are you waiting here for me to come back?"

He Tian said, "Yes! I've been waiting for you."

He Yue waved to Mo Yiyun, "Brother, I'm here. You can go back soon! Be careful on the road."

Mo Yiyun glanced at the thin and listless He Tian, ​​then looked at He Yue and said, "Okay, go back early, I'm leaving."

Mo Yiyun drove away in a carriage, and He Yue asked He Tian, ​​"Do you have something to talk to me about?"

He Tian said, "Yue'er, a lot has happened these days, and I haven't had time to talk to you more. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to go to Yudu to take the imperial examination. After I pass the high school entrance examination, I will marry you and lead you to live a good life, okay?"

He Yue shook her head. "No, Brother Tian, ​​maybe I made you misunderstand something in the past. Now I tell you clearly. I just treat you as a brother. I hope you can take good care of yourself and go all the way to high school."

He Tian said, "Are you worried that my grandmother won't agree? Don't worry, I will take care of everything. When you marry me, I will take you to live in Yudu and make sure you have good food and clothes."

He Yue said to He Tian very calmly, "Brother Tian, ​​I know you are good to me, and I am willing to be good to you, but I can only treat you as a brother. Besides, even if your family agrees, I don't want to. I am still young and don't want to get married now. You will definitely meet someone better and more suitable for you when you go to Yudu."

He Tian hugged He Yue and said, "You are the best. If you don't want it now, I will wait for you. After I graduate from high school, I will marry you when you are still willing."

He Tian ran away after he finished speaking, without giving He Yue any chance to refuse.

He Yue sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, "It's still a long time before you graduate from high school. I'm afraid that after you've seen the prosperity, you may not still like an ordinary person like me."

Two days passed quickly, and Donghe Village became busy early in the morning of August 15th.

If they are not making tuanbing, they are decorating their home. Here they don’t call mooncakes but tuanbing, which means reunion.

Most people eat at home and then go to the city to see the lanterns in the afternoon. A lantern festival is held in the city during every festival.

Even families with little money will go to watch the excitement on this day.

He Yue's family went with Da Niu's family, and Wang Xiaoju took care of the child by herself after she was able to get out of bed.

She was still in confinement, so it was just her and her mother at home. Yang and the others had gone to the city.

Wang Xiaoju hugged her daughter He Di and cried, thinking that if she hadn't been knocked down, she could have gone to the city to see the lanterns.

It is said that after Li Lian'er ran away from Yang's house that day, she neither returned home nor appeared in the village.

Li Lian'er's parents came to look for Li Guihua, but were caught by Yang and extorted for some money before being released.

The couple didn't find their daughter, but they still had to pay money for her. They were inexplicably angry and their original worry turned into resentment.

That day, after Li Lian'er ran out of the village, she was afraid that if Wang Xiaoju died, they would definitely go to her house to look for her.

She was scared, so she left the village and went to the city. As soon as she arrived in the city, she was targeted by two thugs.

The two men noticed that she was well-dressed and was the same person. One of them, who looked honest, said, "You go wait at the usual place first. I'll trick her over there."

The other one nodded and left, and the honest one walked up to Li Lian'er and deliberately bumped into her when he passed by.

Li Lian'er was about to curse when the man immediately pulled her up apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, girl, are you okay? Are you hurt? I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry to get back and didn't pay attention, so I bumped into you."

Seeing the other person's good attitude, Li Lian'er dusted herself off and said, "Forget it, forget it."

Just as the man was about to leave, Li Lian'er stopped him and said, "Brother, you hit me. I don't want you to pay me, but you have to buy me something."

The man smiled and said, "The girl must be hungry!"

Li Lian'er felt a little embarrassed. The man said, "I don't have any money on me. I was just in a hurry to go home to get some. How about this! You come with me. I'll go home and get some money. I'll compensate you with two taels of silver, and then you can go buy it yourself."

When Li Lian'er heard the other party say that he would compensate her with two taels of silver, she tried hard to suppress her excitement.

The man looked at Li Lian'er's expression and raised his lips. He continued, "Miss, are you free? Then it's three taels at most. If you are still free, then I won't give you more."

Li Lian'er quickly waved her hands. "No, no, where is your home? We'll be there soon."

The man pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "It's in the alley ahead, not far away. But my money is all in my wife's hands. If you go there, you have to help me get more. Then I can give you three taels."
