It stands to reason that the Mid-Autumn Festival should be a day for reunion, but Hua Xiaogu and the others are getting married soon, so as per the custom, men and women are not allowed to meet. So this time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hua Xiaogu has to squat pitifully in another courtyard, with the magpies.
People can pass by eating mooncakes and looking at the moon.
When night came, some of the nuns seemed to be very kind-hearted and released Hua Xiaogu early. It was probably because of the festival, so the servants in the entire other courtyard were all a little impatient. Aunt Hua Xiaogu got it.
I also gave leave to the servants and maids of other houses. They all have fathers, mothers, families, and children. It is indeed inappropriate to let them continue working on such a day of reunion.
So at night, except for a few maids who had no home in the first place, the whole courtyard became empty in an instant.
Fortunately, the food was prepared in the kitchen early, so Hua Xiaogu was not hungry. Bai Tao was also driven back by Hua Xiaogu to meet her husband, so Hua Xiaogu searched for some things from the kitchen and prepared to bring them out to the two of them.
Eat together. It was getting dark, and there was no sound in the small yard. Hua Xiaogu sat leisurely on the bamboo chair, eating snacks and falling asleep.
"Have a good Mid-Autumn Festival, let's just spend it like this?" Magpie finally lost his temper and said while grinding his teeth.
Hua Xiaogu turned his head and glanced at her: "What else can I do?"
"Let's go out for a walk!" Magpie glared: "It's so busy outside tonight, why can't we go out?"
Hua Xiaogu was startled and suddenly felt like she was having a brain twitch. After being taught a lesson by the nuns for a month, her mind was indeed constrained by various rules and regulations. A lady cannot go out at night, but what kind of lady are she and Magpie?
"That's right." Hua Xiaogu immediately jumped up from the bamboo chair, slapped the broken snack crumbs in his hand on the ground, his eyes were shining: "With you here, we can sneak out and no one will notice... Let's go
Come on, let’s go out and watch the fun.”
The magpie chuckled, threw the half-eaten snack on the table, then jumped up and started to walk out the door.
"Wait! Let me get some silver." Hua Xiaogu said, and rushed into the room. First he touched a few taels of broken silver, and then looked down at his clothes.
I haven’t worn men’s clothing for a long time, hehe...
The magpie was waiting in the yard, almost impatient: "How long does it take you to get some money?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Xiaogu came out again.
"It's been a long time since I've worn this outfit. It's really comfortable." Hua Xiaogu was wearing a short cotton jacket, coarse gray trousers, and his sleeves were rolled up. Even his hair was casually tied into a bun and wrapped with a cloth behind his head. Dressed like this,
At first glance, he looks like a spirited young man.
The magpie looked her up and down, and then the two of them sneaked out of the yard.
Not far away, I walked through a small alley, and there was a lively street outside. That night, the street was brightly lit, and it seemed that even the curfew had been extended. The whole street was lively, with many people coming and going. Hua Xiaogu
As soon as he and the magpie left the confines of the other courtyard, they began to relax physically and mentally and walked carelessly on the street.
Having not been out for a month, Hua Xiaogu felt busy everywhere she looked. There were snack sellers and gadget sellers on the street, and not far away there were people carrying lanterns and putting lights into the water.
Hua Xiaogu now has a lot of money, and she wants to buy some gadgets whenever she sees them along the way.
