v2.Chapter 140 (1/2)
Another Mid Autumn Festival banquet.
When he was going out, Yu Fu was in a state of low spirits, thinking about the border war and wondering how long they would be back.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi go to the palace with her. Gu huaijiang, Gu Shubai and others are not in the imperial capital. The seat of Gu Hou's house can't be left unattended.
Gu Wenqing was still holding the account book in his courtyard, which was the book of the Mid Autumn Festival's regular ritual exchanges with various families and prefectures. ”You go, I have to look after the house. There can't be no master in the house.”
On the way to the palace, Yufu had a cool wind coming into the carriage. Yufu wrapped his cloak tightly.
Yao LAN put down the curtain of the carriage. ”It's going to be cold. In a few days, it's time to change the carriage into a thick cotton curtain. If the young lady is cold, put on her cloak
”It's not cold. It's not autumn yet.”
Yu Fu's small face is stubborn and looks towards the sky. The huge golden full moon is slowly rising from the clouds.
”After leaving, I only think about it, and there is a bright moon all over the world. I wonder if the moon they see is so big and round? ”
After thinking about it, she said with a smile, ”I don't think so. The terrain of the border is open. The moon they see must be rounder and brighter than what we see in the imperial capital. ”
”The young lady is full of young master.”
Yao LAN teased her, ”but the frontier has been reporting victories. The Marquis and the eldest son should be back soon, right? I'm not sure I can catch up with the sweet scented osmanthus cake! ”
Sweet scented osmanthus cake?
Yu Fu thought about the sweet smell, soft and smooth taste, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
She pulled Yao Lan's arm, ”when the osmanthus blossoms, we'll pick some and marinate them with honey, so that the elder brother can eat them when they come back!”
The carriage stopped suddenly. Gu Xiang turned his horse's head and said to the carriage, ”Xiaoyu Fu, here we are.”
The palace gate is just in front of us, reflecting a huge golden full moon, which looks like the magnificence of watercolor painting and a volume of history.
She stepped out of the carriage and stood in front of the palace gate, feeling alienated.
”What's the matter? Do you miss your father and big brother? ”
Gu Yi dismounted, walked to her side and sighed, ”I miss them too. In the past Mid Autumn Festival, we all enjoyed the moon and ate moon cakes together. This year, we were scattered. Ah - ”
he suddenly thought of something,” how do I feel that this feeling is very familiar? By the way, I remember. We haven't had a good Spring Festival this year, half in the imperial capital and half in Changzhou. No wonder people say that we can't have bad luck during the new year, or we'll have bad luck all year round! ”
Yu Fu thought, ”sixth brother, do you think the eldest brother will be poisoned and hunted down like he was in the Spring Festival?”
Gu Yi suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and said to Yu Fu, ”no, no! Elder brother leads the army. Who can poison him? I'm superstitious. Don't worry about that
Gu Xiang gave him a glance.
