Chapter 241: Zhuangyuanlou Poetry Gathering, Xiao Li’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gift!
Today's night in Yunzhou City is not like night at all. The lights of thousands of houses blend into neon lights on the night sky, and the clouds look like drunken colors.
Before going out, Li Mo went to see Murong Xiao.
Yes, it's still hard.
It's placed in the backyard, like a Buddha statue.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Brother Murong, don't say that I forgot you."
Student Li is very loyal.
He put a plate in front of Murong Xiao, and on the plate were moon cakes stacked into a pagoda shape.
Not only is he loyal, Li Mo is also very considerate.
The restaurant is by the lake, and there are many mosquitoes, so he lit three more mosquito coils, found an incense burner to plug them in, and placed them in front of Murong Xiao.
Murong Xiao: "....."
emmmmm
Suddenly, he looked solemn.
"It's a pity that you don't have time to go out and play today. In this case, please bless me with good luck in the restaurant."
Li Mo bowed seriously with his hands clasped together.
Many people will pay respect today. Those who live by the mountain will worship the mountain god, and those who live by the water will worship the water god.
He has no faith, but he has a strong sense of ritual.
When he left the restaurant, he saw a girl by the lake. She was staring at the bustling street. The noise came but bypassed her, clearly explaining what it means to be independent from the world.
When a certain young man caught her eye, she saw the fireworks of the world.
"Where do you want to go first?" Li Mo asked.
"Zhuangyuan Building."
Ying Bing tied her hair.
When she was eating just now, she heard the bustle of Zhuangyuan Building. The street market is the largest in Yunzhou, and there are many stalls selling various small things. You can get there along Yulong Street.
She hasn't decided what to give Li Mo.
She doesn't know what to do on a date.
But it doesn't matter, she can go to "see the pig run".
"Okay."
The two walked into the street, and the prosperous world came to her.
For the first time, Ying Bing looked at the street seriously, scanning the small things one by one.
Li Mo didn't look at the various people in Yulong Street, after all, he was familiar with the stall owners...
His eyes were on Ying Bing. After dinner, she changed into a shorter dress, revealing her fair and slender calves. Her black hair was tied with a red thread. Her jade-like face was bright and shining, which made people not pay attention to the bright moon in the sky.
She was pure and cold, and it was quite stressful to stand next to her.
However, Li Mo's mind popped up the scene of her first cooking and making herself look like a cat.
Noticing that the eyes next to her suddenly smiled, Ying Bing remembered that she had seen many men and women talking and laughing just now.
"..... The moon is very beautiful today." Ying Bing said.
"Indeed." Li Mo's eyes did not move.
"......"
Ying Bing suddenly didn't know what to say.
You said it so decisively without even looking at you.
The two were silent.
No one spoke again, but walking under the fireworks, Ying Bing felt calm instead.
It seemed quite comfortable to say nothing.
This is probably just letting things take their course.
If you want to say something, say it. If you don't want to say something, keep silent. You won't feel awkward even if you don't say a word.
Not long.
Arriving at the Zhuangyuan Building, it is even more lively.
This building is eight stories high, standing out among the pavilions. The crowds of people are three layers deep and three layers deep, and the voices are like rain.
"What are you doing?"
Li Mo glanced and saw several familiar figures.
They were the three heroes of Hengyun who came to visit today.
Among them, Wu Chushu was not alone, but with a female companion, who was dressed elegantly. She should be a lady from a wealthy family.
At this time, he was talking confidently, as if everything was under control.
Bai Jinghong and Cao Mu next to him cast a death stare at him.
Damn, this guy is so kind to ask them to come out to visit the Lantern Festival today.
He actually asked a female companion!
It's too unethical.
"What are you talking about?"
Li Mo spoke suddenly.
"....."
Wu Chushu's smile instantly faded.
He recalled the bad memories.
His smile did not disappear, but moved to Bai Jinghong and Cao Mu's faces.
"Um, I'll take Miss She out to visit the Zhuangyuan Building Poetry Club."
Wu Chushu coughed lightly, and then said to the woman beside him:
"This is..."
"Wangqi Douhun!" Miss She answered quickly.
Li Mo: "..."
So can the comments on the Qianlong List be changed with money?
Take some benefits from him, even if it's just a little.
He changed the subject and asked:
"What is the poetry club?"
Wu Chushu intended to show his profound knowledge in front of the beauty.
So he explained.
Li Mo roughly understood.
According to legend, there was a swordsman in Yunzhou who was not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also brilliant in literary talent. He won the first place in the imperial examination, but because he was drunk at the Jinshi banquet and wrote poems to criticize the current situation, which angered the previous emperor, he was stripped of the title of the first place.
So he simply resigned from his post and returned to Yunzhou to build this Zhuangyuan Building.
"Every year during the Lantern Festival, there is a poetry meeting here, and prizes will be given out if the topic is correct."
"This year's prize is a jade hairpin, the texture is pretty good."
As Wu Chushu spoke, his smile returned to his face.
As a fan of showing off in public, he has good literary talent (he thinks so).
Zhuangyuan Building is a place he specially selected....
"Brother Chushu, I want the prize for the poetry meeting."
Miss She whispered coquettishly.
Bai Jinghong and Cao Mu were so angry that they clenched their fists. What are you talking about? What are you talking about!
"By the way, Young Master Li, why did you come out alone?"
"Could it be that..."
Looking at Li Mo who was alone, the two felt relieved.
At least someone helped to share the firepower.
But soon, Ying Bing appeared with a lantern. She was not here to visit the lantern festival, but a fairy who came to inspect the world.
Maybe it was a bit crowded, she stood especially close to Li Mo.
Bai Jinghong: "..."
Cao Mu: "....."
The two looked at each other. If they had known that she would rot in Jiancheng, why would they join in the fun for no reason?
"Bingtuozi."
Li Mo suddenly spoke, and then reached out to tidy up the black hair at the corner of her mouth. The skin he touched was like brocade and warm jade.
"Hmm?"
"Your hair seems to be always loose."
"It's tied with a rope, so it's easy to loosen."
Ying Bing was a little absent-minded for a moment, and then nodded.
She was absent-minded not only because of the fireworks in front of her, but also because she remembered the past.
What was she doing at this moment in her previous life?
Probably standing on the top of the high Gui Palace, watching the ebb and flow of the world.
How could she not feel the taste of the coldness of the high places.
But because she wanted to keep a pure heart and few thoughts, she never set foot in the world.
"Then...how about I give you a hairpin on Qiuxi?"
Li Mo's voice sounded from her ears.
Ying Bing lowered her eyes and looked at the boy who brought her to the world. Suddenly, the corners of her lips rose slightly. This smile made the softness of the moonlight concrete.
The people around were stunned for a moment.
Even Miss She, who was acting cute, had her eyes straight.
"Okay."
"..."
Instead, it was Xiao Li who was stunned.
He just racked his brains to think about which poem of his predecessors to plagiarize to show off.
Seeing this smile, he suddenly didn't have to think about it.
A poem that only remembered the content but not the author's name came to his mind.
