15 Chang'an Street was brightly lit and filled with people. People were happily shuttling back and forth in the streets under the night sky. The sound of hawking was even louder than usual. Chang'e's lanterns were sold here as big and round mooncakes.
A full moon hung in the thin clouds. It was so clear and transparent. The faint clouds above the moon were like Chang'e playing around in the Moon Palace.
Children were always the most innocent. They were happy because their parents, who had always worked hard in the fields, were finally able to accompany them tonight to stroll the bustling streets, buy them a beautiful and exquisite lantern, and buy them a big round mooncake. All of this looked at Yan Wenqing and the others who were standing in the pavilion and looking at them. In their memories, they had never been so happy before. They had never mentioned such exquisite lanterns.
"Look at how happy those kids are." Su Guangren sighed as he looked at the children running down the street. The messy hair on top of his head was all over his face. There was always a trace of unknown sadness on his face. In the past, his master and mother, as well as his junior brothers and sisters, could enjoy the moon cake together in the courtyard. "Senior Brother, why do you think Chang'e lives on the moon?" "Because the moon is very bright and beautiful." "Then isn't it lonely for her to live there alone?" "Don't we still have Moon Rabbit? They can depend on each other for life." They'll be happy, won't they? " "Yes, I am very happy." Su Guangren thought of the time he spent with his junior sister and felt more sadness and longing. Was his junior sister also there to look at the bright and beautiful full moon? Was she also thinking about him? Su Guangren suddenly thought of his own uselessness. He knew that his Junior Sister and Madam were in Luoyang, but he didn't dare to visit them. He didn't dare to meet them.
"Yes, those children are so happy." Yan Wenqing said from the side. Yan Wenqing had never eaten moon cakes or mentioned beautiful lanterns before. Fifteen years ago, his family had been poor and did not have any moon cakes that other children could eat. Until now, it was the same. Every year, Grandma Mid Autumn would burn a big round sweet potato pancake for him, but there was no longer a younger sister who cried and fought to take a bite of her pancake.
"Come on, don't just watch the commotion. Let's have some mooncakes." Ni Fei said to everyone and immediately headed inside. They happily went inside.
Zheng Min immediately hopped over to the table and picked up a mooncake to eat. "Mhmm." It's delicious. I've never had such a delicious mooncake. " Everyone laughed.
"If it's delicious, I'll have one more to eat." The old urchin sat down at the table, but the joy on his face immediately disappeared. Zheng Min, who was understanding, noticed this and said, "Auntie and grandma will definitely eat bigger mooncakes at home."
Everyone sat around the table, talking and laughing.
Ni Fei poured a full cup of wine for the old urchin and Su Guangren, then said with a smile, "You two urchins should drink a cup tonight."
"Alright, then I respect the old urchin senior." Su Guangren pushed the events that happened on his face to the back of his head and raised his wine cup.
The old mischievous child also immediately lifted up his wine cup and said, "Call me old mischievous child. Adding the word 'senior' feels awkward and unfamiliar." With that, he clinked the cup with Su Guangren and poured the wine into his stomach.
Everyone laughed. Only Chen Feiyan sat there quietly. Her eyes seemed to be lost in thought as she stared at the table filled with mooncakes and wine cups. She would occasionally look at Yan Wenqing who was chatting with everyone.
"Why are you drinking my wine?" Zheng Min angrily pinched Ni Fei's arm, who was drinking her wine cup in one gulp.
Ni Fei clenched his teeth tightly from the pain, "You're a little girl, so why are you drinking?"
Angry, Zheng Min twisted his arm again and snorted, "Who said I was small? Who said I was small?"
The whole table burst into laughter again.
The old urchin, who was munching on a mooncake, said with a smile, "F * * k, this laughing enemy of yours. If your aunt was here, I would have thought you guys were rabbits if not obedient."
Zheng Min felt even more indignant after being told. She retorted loudly, "If my aunt was here, would you be willing to gulp down cakes and drink so much?"
The retorted old naughty kid quickly lowered his head as he bit on the mooncake.
The halls of Plains Villa were bustling with noise and excitement. Servants shuttled through the corridors carrying mooncake wine and a variety of dishes were coming and going. Joy blossomed on everyone's faces.
There were five tables in the yard, each filled with delicious food, and above all a plate in the middle of each table, slowly filling with golden mooncakes. The table was surrounded by people, including Pu Yishan, Madam Pu, Pu Mingjie, Pang You, Madam Shen and some of the more talented martial artists. There was an empty seat between Shen Jingbin and Pu Mingjie, which was obviously Shen Bi Ru's seat since she wasn't able to sit at the table. The rest of the tables were occupied by the servants and families, as well as some of the heroic warriors of the martial arts world. Everyone was sitting in the yard watching the full moon hanging in the night sky. They were talking and laughing, talking and talking. Madam Shen looked at her surroundings from time to time. The girl had left the table for so long that she had not returned. She wanted to leave to take a look, but the people at the table didn't want to leave due to face.
Lady Shen looked at Pu Mingjie who was sitting there. Pu Mingjie immediately understood when he saw her looking at the empty seat beside her. He immediately got up from his seat to look around.
The courtyard at a distance from the courtyard was extremely quiet. The moonlight scattered all over the ground, illuminating the fake mountains in the courtyard and clearing the ripples in the pond. Occasionally, the fish in the pond would jump up and splash against the water.
Shen Bi Ru sat upright on the stone slab around the pool. She raised her head to look at the full moon in the night sky. The full moon was moving slowly in the clouds.
"The moon is beautiful tonight." Pu Mingjie stood behind Shen Bi Ru. He also looked up at the bright moon, the moonlight quietly shining on the two of them.
"Why don't you go to the front yard?" Pu Mingjie noticed that Shen Bi Ru did not say anything.
"The front yard is too noisy. It's quiet here." Shen Bi Ru continued looking up at the moon. "Look at the moon. It's so quiet. Do you think it'll be lonely?"
