Xu Zizhen remembered that it was near the end of July when he came out of Xixia, but he didn't expect that it would be too late to rush along the way.
Last year was the first year after he traveled through time. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was supposed to have a reunion dinner with Li'er and his daughter to enjoy the full moon. However, he was forced to flee Suzhou City. He had already planned to spend this year not only with Li'er but also with Li'er.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they all have to be invited together with their Qiaoyi, Zhuoya and Wenxian. Since they are going to be a family in the future, it will always be fun together.
It was getting late now. Even if they came over immediately to find Wen Xian, they could only have a midnight snack, not to mention that they might not be able to get them all together. Thinking of this, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Mo Lier suddenly turned around and said to him: "Today is the Zhongyuan Festival, not the Mid-Autumn Festival yet."
Xu Zizhen was startled again: "How is it possible? I have already passed the Zhongyuan since I came out of Xixia. Where can I get another Zhongyuan? Can a ghost take two vacations?"
The Hungry Ghost Festival falls on July 15th, commonly known as the Ghost Festival. Xu Zizhen still knows the difference between the Hungry Ghost Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mo Li'er chuckled and said: "Sir, you really run around without looking at the almanac. Don't you know that this year is a leap day and there are two Julys?"
Xu Zizhen slapped his forehead: "Leap July? Is there still such a thing?"
Now he felt relieved, as there was still one month left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was enough time for him to arrange his pre-planned plans, such as getting married to Wen Xian and proposing marriage to Gao Pujun.
There is another thing that he has always kept in his heart, that is, Zhao Huan came to the throne and he forgot the specific time when the two emperors of Hui and Qin changed. However, the Jin soldiers entered Bianjing and kidnapped the two emperors, which should have happened years ago.
And Zhao Huan still has to be the emperor for nearly two months, so it will be fast in fact.
If I remember correctly, after Zhao Huan came to the throne, the six thieves were killed one after another. Xu Zizhen didn't have much grudge against Wang Fu at first, but since he was almost killed after being tricked last time, he had this grudge, and the Qin family
, relying on Li Bangyan's power to bully Li'er while he was away, this account must be settled.
The group of people returned to Xu Zizhen's house. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a small mountain-like figure standing there. Xu Zizhen knew that this was Daye even without looking clearly. There was no one else but him for such a big man.
"Master!"
Daye had just returned from abroad and stopped to take a look when he saw someone coming. Unexpectedly, Xu Zizhen was the one riding the horse first, which made him overjoyed.
Xu Zizhen jumped off his horse and walked up to him and punched him. The two of them had a better understanding than the others. There was no need to say anything more. One look said everything.
Li Meng came over to complain: "Uncle, after I learned about your injury that time, I asked Daye if he wanted to go to Tubo together, but he refused to go together."
Ohno smiled naively: "Young Master will be fine. I might as well stay here to protect Young Mistress if I go so far away."
Li Meng asked: "What if my uncle is unfortunate enough to be in trouble?"
Daye scratched his head but still smiled naively and said: "Then I will go to Bianjing to kill that bullshit King Jing, and then go to Shangjing to kill the Emperor of Jin. If I can't kill him, I will die with the young master."
Li Meng choked on his words. There was no trace of murderous intent on Daye's face. Although he was very serious, he still looked silly and naive, but no one dared to question his words. Xu Zizhen believed that Daye would definitely do what he said, even if he couldn't kill Zhao.
Even though Qi and Wanyan Wu were begging for money, he would not give up unless he died.
Xu Zizhen was moved in his heart. He patted Daye on the shoulder and said, "Don't die. Damn it, I can still live. Let's go in and talk. I won't stop until I get drunk today!"
Ohno nodded heavily: "Okay!"
As everyone was about to enter, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and then a voice sounded: "Master, are you here? I've been looking all over and can't find you."
As the voice fell, Bao'er had already galloped to the door of the house, stopped suddenly, jumped up and landed in front of Daye, and then said to Xu Zizhen: "Uncle, I've been everywhere, they will be here soon."
Before Xu Zizhen could answer, Mo Li'er said: "My lord, please go in first. Li'er will prepare the food and wine right now."
After saying that, she entered the door first. She knew very well who the "they" Bao'er mentioned were, and she probably wouldn't be able to get through the door without getting drunk today.
After Xu Zizhen and everyone entered, they first arranged for Hu Sanniang and Zhuo Ya to rest in the main hall, and then went into the backyard alone.
He found that when there were more and more beauties around him, there were always one or two that he missed the most, no matter how many beauties surrounded them.
Kou Qiaoyi is the one who always misses him. Although they have only had physical contact without any courtesy, and Kou Qiaoyi has always regarded herself as a maid, not even a concubine, but Xu Zizhen is the most
I miss her, sometimes even more than Mo Lier, more than Zhao Su.
The backyard is peaceful. There are lanterns hanging in the corridor after passing through the garden, reflecting the garden dimly. The light is not very good, but you can still see that the flowers and plants in the garden have been carefully trimmed and tidied up.
tidy.
Xu Zizhen knew at a glance that this must be Kou Qiaoyi's masterpiece. No one but her could have such patience and skill. He was just about to walk through the corridor and continue walking when he suddenly saw a person standing next to an osmanthus tree not far ahead.
There was a lantern hanging on it, and she used a brocade handkerchief to pick the sweet-scented osmanthus carefully under the tree by the light.
Clever clothes! Clever clothes!
Xu Zizhen stopped in his tracks and looked at the beauty under the tree dreamily.
Qiaoyi lost weight again, and the silk dress seemed a bit ill-fitting on her body. The breeze fluttered her clothes lightly, coupled with the osmanthus tree and the small lantern in front of her, Xu Zizhen unconsciously thought of Chang'e, the fairy in the moon.
Xu Zizhen was standing next to a pillar in the corridor. Under the cover of the pillar and shadow, Kou Qiaoyi didn't notice him for a moment. This also gave Xu Zizhen a good opportunity to stand at such a close distance.
Quietly admiring the beauty of Kou Qiaoyi.
But at this time, someone happened to come and disturbed this quiet and beautiful scene. However, Xu Zizhen was not unhappy at all, but smiled, because the person who came was also his wife, Shui Liuli.
Kou Qiaoyi stopped what he was doing and turned around with a smile: "Why did Sister Liuli come in such a hurry?"
Shui Liuli said anxiously: "I heard that Brother Xu is coming back soon?"
Kou Qiaoyi said: "I heard them talk about it too. Sister Li'er got the news and said she can arrive in the next two days."
Xu Zizhen hid behind the pillar and smiled to himself, thinking: Your officials have already arrived and are peeking at you.
Shui Liuli was not as happy as Xu Zizhen imagined. Instead, she rubbed her hands and said anxiously: "I don't know when the man named Qin will leave, but we must not let him bump into Brother Xu."
The snicker on Xu Zizhen's face disappeared immediately. The surname was Qin? Who is this? Could it be Qin Song, Qin Yu and his family?
