Chapter 159 Mid-Autumn Festival
The next day, Mid-Autumn Festival.

It was only dawn, and Lin Zi and Liu Jinsuo had already got up and prepared their chariots and horses.

When everyone got up, they were about to call Li Xia, but they found that he was not in the room.

"Hey, where's Mr. Xiao Lang?"

"He said he was going out for a while and would come back before he left."

"Hey, I even boiled eggs for him, but two cracked..."

At this time, Li Xia was already standing on an attic in the Fenglian Building.

Leaning on the railing, you can overlook the entire pavilion.

Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, many prostitutes are rehearsing songs and dances, and their clothes are fluttering, which is pleasing to the eye.

The West Lake not far away is reflecting a little bit of light in the morning light, which is indeed "the warm wind makes tourists drunk".

Hu Zhen set up a table in the attic and just made a pot of tea.

Holding the teacup in her hand, she stared into the distance and said, "Lin'an is really nice."

"Yes, Lin'an is really nice." Li Xia said.

Although he was in a different business, he understood her state of mind very well.

Hu Zhen also felt inexplicably comfortable getting along with Li Xia, although he was only a junior and hadn't spoken a few words to each other.

In the past, I didn't expect Li Yong's son to be such a person, with experience that didn't match his age.

"Since you know that Lin'an is good, how about staying here and earning more money to redeem An'an?"

Li Xia shook her head and said, "I don't plan to stay just because I know Lin'an is fine."

Hu Zhendao: "I didn't know you had Ding Xiang as your backer before, so I underestimated you. Now that Yan Guifei and Dong Daguan are backing you, why should you be afraid?"

"You are good at business, but your vision is not enough."

"Don't learn from Li Yong and let Liu Susu down for ten years."

"I said it all, when I didn't know her."

"Let's not talk, I'm busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Give me the book?"

"The book was burned, orphan."

Hu Zhen said: "Since it is an isolated copy, it would be better to burn it. What I want are the poems in it."

"Can not remember."

"Don't lie to me. Liu Susu told me that you are the craziest reader."

"I really don't remember."

"That's not what I said when I introduced Chief Guan to you."

"Really?" Li Xia said, "I said that the book is in my hand, and I never said I would give it to you."

"Li Xianwei is also an official of the imperial court, but he is playing tricks with the prostitute?"

"I, the dignified county captain, came to see you very early in the morning to tell you that I have taken refuge in Yan Guifei and Dong Daguan."

Hu Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, and said leisurely: "This story is spread all over the city. The emperor gave him the word, and he became an official at the age of 16. I knew it a long time ago. I don't bother Li Xianwei to go there personally."

"It's good to know." Li Xia said: "I also killed many people in the north, very capable and fierce."

Hu Zhen clapped his hands and said, "Wow, County Lieutenant Li is really amazing. If he is more than ten years younger, he would like to be with you without charging money... Please, don't delay my business."

Li Xia looked around and saw Nian'er running out of the hall of Miyun Courtyard, don't rush back with a pipa.

"Okay, I remembered a poem, here it is."

"What are the conditions?"

"There are no conditions, I will send you for nothing."

Hu Zhen followed his gaze, and what he saw was Miyunyuan.

She couldn't help showing a smile, and said: "If you have a heart, don't worry, she is a child raised by me after all, and I will try my best to do her best."

Li Xia was noncommittal.

He looked at Miyun Courtyard for a while, recited the poem casually, turned and left.

Half an hour later, a group of chariots and horses left Lin'an City and headed west...

~~
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the talented scholars in Lin'an City wrote new words early, planning to display their talents in various literary fairs.

Ding Daquan slapped Qingliu scribes hard.

Because the imperial student Liu Fu and others had the words "the heir of the country is not upright, the affairs will be Fang Yin" in the official book, which offended the officials. Ding Daquan cut the academic status of the six leaders and erected a monument in the imperial school, strictly forbidding the imperial students to act rashly. Discuss state affairs.

The upright people of the Manchu Dynasty dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, because Ding Daquan had already eliminated dissidents one after another and impeached them for slandering the emperor.

For a time, Ding Dang was very loud.

On that day, six Tai students were exiled and divided into other prefectures. When they left the city, many literati sent them off, calling them "Six Gentlemen of Xianguan", namely Liu Fu, Chen Yizhong, Huang Yong, Lin Zezu, Zeng Wei, Chen Zong.

Wearing shackles, Liu Fu looked back at Lin'an City, thinking of the difficult state affairs, and recited a poem, which added a ray of sadness to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

"ZTE left behind the old, and the dream is also the Central Plains.

There are ten thousand words about the two dynasties of weeping blood.

The name Fang ascended the ban, but he was exiled to Nanyuan.

There is no cold or heat in studying hard, and there are stones in both feet. "

All those who saw him off wept bitterly, until the figure of the six gentlemen gradually disappeared from the official road, and someone mentioned Li Xia again.

"I heard that Li Xia was also present when Fu Que wrote the letter that day."

"Heh, Li Feiyu is here to bring down the virtuous prime minister. If it wasn't for him, why would Ding Qingpi be as famous as he is today?"

"Affiliated to a treacherous party and an official in an unusual way, how could this son make such a poem? It must be a poem stolen from others."

"He is a person who deceives the world and steals his name, how can he compare with Uncle Shangsheng?"

"Weeping blood and two dynasties, [-] words are covered... Alas, the court is full of smog, what should I do?"

"I heard that Li Xia and Li Feiyu went to the southwest to take office this morning."

"The lackey of the Ding family, the official who fawns over you, his eagerness is disgusting..."

Suddenly someone sneered.

"Although Liu Shengbo was exiled, he spoke with his heart and soul, and he was deaf and enlightened; Li Feiyu has gone to Shu, faced the crisis, and guarded one side. But you gentlemen, talk here and talk empty-handed, not to compare the two, or to praise or criticize, It's all based on the heart. But I don't know what I have done for the country?"

"Chen Shuoqing! What do you mean? There is no distinction between black and white?!"

"He has defected to the traitor party!"

"Fuck your mother!"

"..."

The argument at the gate of the city lasted for a long time, and half a day later, Wen Yunsun, the new top scholar, left the city again.

Wen Yunsun wore hemp and filial piety, his eyes were red, because he had received the sad news of his father's death and was going back to his hometown to observe the funeral.

The number one scholar among talents, as soon as he entered the court, he saw the country's long-standing abuses, but he was hit by it when he wanted to cheer up... This young and famous number one scholar did not have "spring breeze and horseshoe disease", and what he got was hard tempering.

He settled Ding You for three years.

……

Liu Chenweng sent Wen Yunsun out of the city, but he felt that his mood was fading.

Originally, inspired by Li Xia's five poems, Liu Chenweng recently wrote a poem, intending to have a poetry meeting with Li Xia on this Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's a pity that Li Xia has left, and what happened today made Liu Chenweng lose his mood.

In the evening, Liu Chenweng kept his promise and went to the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Fengle Building.

This night's poetry meeting, a royal relative named Quan Yongjian hated it very much, and took out a mediocre work for everyone to praise.

Liu Chenweng was thinking about Liu Fu's poem, so he didn't want to come up with lyrics.

But in order to suppress Quan Yongjian's face, he finally couldn't hold back.

What he wrote was "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", which he wrote with Su Dongpo.

Soon, some singing girls began to sing.

"The bright moon is tens of thousands of miles away, and I will share the Mid-Autumn Festival with you. The good nights of ancient and modern times are like this, how long will the silence last..."

~~
Along the official road, Li Xia handed a piece of mooncake to Gao Mingyue.

He went to Fenglianlou this morning, and Hu Zhen gave him a box of mooncakes, ten in total.

There were nine of them, and one was left after the division.

Because the little girl Han Qiaoer took a bite and hurriedly called "It's so delicious", everyone laughed and asked her to eat one more.

Han Qiaoer was going to separate from Gao Mingyue again, Li Xia heard about it, and gave Gao Mingyue her mooncake.

Although he didn't eat it, judging from everyone's reaction, he probably thought the mooncakes were really delicious.

He clearly saw Gao Mingyue carefully lifted her mask, and after taking a bite, she looked at Han Qiaoer in surprise. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were bright and full of splendor.

"No, no, one is enough for me, it's not easy to take yours."

"I don't like to eat this, it's easy to gain weight."

"Fat?" Gao Mingyue was a little confused.She has never had the concept of worrying about getting fat.

"Well, muscle lines don't look good when you're fat."

Li Xia was talking nonsense, and the moon cake was already handed to her.

Gao Mingyue suddenly thought of running to peek at him changing clothes last night, her face became hot, and she quickly lowered her head, fearing that he would see something strange.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Li Xia turned around to walk away.

"Well... Shall I break some for you? It's good to have a taste."

"Alright, less."

Li Xia spread his hand, Gao Mingyue broke off a small piece and put it in his hand.

He thought that the mooncakes these days were just like that, but he didn't expect the taste to be surprisingly good.

"Isn't the moon bright today?" Gao Mingyue asked suddenly.

Li Xia looked up, dazed.

"Yeah, I didn't realize that the moon is so beautiful."

Holding the mooncake in her hand, Gao Mingyue quickly glanced around, seeing that no one noticed this side.

She pursed her lips, pretending to be casual and said: "You know? The moon will always follow you, wherever you go, wherever you go...My mother told me when I was young..."

After hearing this, Li Xia looked up at the full moon again, and felt another feeling.

And under the same moon, Zhang Wenjing was standing by the window looking at the moon, muttering in a low voice: "When will the bright moon appear, and we will share the beautiful beauty for thousands of miles..."
