The Queen's Beggar's Wife

Chapter 8 Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Appreciation

Soon, summer passed and autumn came, and Chu Yueyin had been in Tibet Yuan Kingdom for several months.

Her daily life is very boring. Apart from staying with Chu Huan and Mrs. Chu, she spends all day studying with Wen Hui.She knows that in order to survive in this strange world, she must master the rules and words of this world as soon as possible.So, she worked hard.Wen Hui is also very satisfied with this student and is willing to teach her carefully. Of course, there are also Chu Yueyao's factors in it.

Her efforts were not in vain. In just a few months, she basically mastered the language of this world and learned about daily etiquette and laws.These days, she didn't take half a step out of the Chu Mansion, not because she didn't want to, but because she felt that she was not ready to perceive the world.

Early in the morning, Chu Huan sent someone to call Chu Yueyin to the study, and told her that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. After dinner, he and his wife would go to the Jinhua Villa outside the city to enjoy the moon and spend the night as usual.

"Yueyin, there is an exhibition of lanterns in the city. You have never seen it, so you should take a look. So, I don't force you. You decide whether to go to Jinhua Mountain Villa to enjoy the moon with your parents, or to watch the lanterns in the city. ?”

Chu Yueyin wondered whether the lanterns on the autumn night in Cangyuan Kingdom were similar to the Lantern Festival lanterns she had seen before, so she just took this opportunity to go out for a stroll and enjoy the bustling night scene in the capital.She smiled slightly and said: "Father, you and mother have lived together, and Yue Yin will not bother you. I'll just wander around the city by myself, look at the lights, and admire the moon."

Although Chu Huan didn't understand what a "two-person world" meant, but seeing that she wanted to stay in the city to watch the lights, he said, "You take Yinqiao and Chu Yi with you, and father will arrange a few servants for you to follow. Go early and return early." , don't play too late."

"Okay! Father, don't worry, Yueyin will go early and return early, and won't linger. Also, can Yueyin invite Teacher Wen to go with her? Yueyin wants to hear Teacher Wen's introduction to the city's customs and customs."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Of course. Wen Hui is knowledgeable and personable. You should learn more from him."

"Yueyin knows. Teacher Wen should have arrived at the mansion by now. Yueyin will go to find Teacher Wen and ask him to accompany me to watch the lanterns and enjoy the moon tonight." Chu Yueyin gave a salute, then left the study and hurried to Xuelitang looked for Wenhui.

Wen Hui readily agreed, and the two made an appointment at the beginning of Xu Shi, and he came to wait for her at the gate of the Chu Mansion.

Chu Yueyin looked at Wen Hui with a smile, until Wen Hui's heart was aroused.Is it true that he and Chu Yueyao are also "on the willow's head every month, and after dusk when people make appointments"?It's a pity that Chu Yueyao passed away early, and he and Chu Yueyao had nothing to do with each other.

After dinner, Chu Yueyin sent Chu Huan and Mrs. Chu out, then returned to Yuehua Pavilion, took a bath and changed clothes, put on a moon-white dress, and asked Yinqiao to comb her hair into a simple bun with only a few flowers. Fine silver hairpins are embellished, and there is no other jewelry.Even her face was clean, without any makeup, it was as pure as the moonlight on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Wen Hui attended the appointment on time.He wore a plain white robe and tied his long hair with a jasper hairpin, looking more and more like a handsome young man.He stood in front of the Chu Mansion's gate, looking at Chu Yueyin who was walking towards him step by step, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Mr. Wen, thank you for accompanying me to watch the lanterns and admire the moon." Chu Yueyin looked at Wen Hui with admiring eyes, and smiled, "Daddy sent some servants to follow, do you mind?"

Wen Hui looked at Yin Qiao, Chu Yi and the four servants behind her, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, just watch the lanterns and admire the moon together, don't be too restrained."

Chu Yueyin nodded in agreement, turned around and boarded the carriage of the Chu Mansion.

Yinqiao took a step forward, smiled sweetly at Wen Hui, and said, "Mr. Wen, please get in the car." Because of Miss Yueyao, she and Wen Hui have known each other for a long time, so they don't feel restrained when speaking.

Wen Hui returned a faint smile, without any excuses, went straight into the carriage, and sat diagonally across from Chu Yueyin.Yinqiao then got into the carriage and sat on the other side of Chu Yueyin, who happened to be face to face with Wen Hui.

The carriage drove slowly all the way, heading towards the most prosperous sky street in the capital of Cangyuan Kingdom.It was very quiet in the carriage, and none of the three spoke.Chu Yueyin was originally rather quiet and didn't want to talk.However, Wen Hui and Yin Qiao remembered the time when they went out together with Miss Yueyao in the past, and felt a little sad.

When approaching Tianjie, the carriage stopped.According to regulations, all carriages are not allowed to enter Tianjie on Mid-Autumn Festival Eve, and everyone, regardless of princes, generals, princes or beauties, must walk.So, Chu Yueyin, Wen Hui and Yinqiao got out of the carriage and walked slowly towards Tianjie, admiring the scenery along the way.

Entering Tianjie, people began to increase.Wen Hui and Chu Yueyin walked side by side, Yinqiao walked on Chu Yueyin's right hand side, Chu Yi opened the way ahead, and the four servants followed closely behind them, not daring to relax at all.

Tiantian Street was originally a bustling commercial street. There are many shops on both sides of the wide road. There are restaurants, teahouses, clothing and jewelry workshops, etc. Naturally, there are also brothels like Xiangmanlou.

Ordinary people come to see the lanterns, and when they are tired or hungry, they will sit in the teahouse.Dr. Tea will serve you a pot of tea and a plate of snacks graciously, and you can sit for as long as you want.

If it was the sons of officials and rich men, most of them would either go to restaurants or brothels, and some would simply sit upstairs by the window seats, condescending, and search among the bustling crowd to see if any beauties came out to look at the lights.

People who just walk on the street are not necessarily ordinary people.Those nobles who have lived in the inner courtyard of the palace for a long time will often take this opportunity to go out and have fun with the people.

One year during the mid-autumn night, the emperor Yu Wenhua of the Tibetan Yuan Kingdom brought his most beloved concubine Xia Lianxue out to play. He did not expect to meet the son of a third-rank official's family who didn't know his eyes or brows.Seeing Concubine Xueshu's beauty, the dude even made a molestation speech.As a result, Long Yan was furious, and he arrested the man and threw him into the prison, where he starved to death.The third-rank official was also dismissed from office and driven out of the capital, and the whole family has since declined.

Since then, no matter how powerful the officials and their children are on the Tianjie Street in the mid-autumn night, they are more restrained than usual, for fear that their arrogant behavior will fall into the eyes of the emperor who travels in low clothes, and their families will be ruined.

Besides, when Chu Yueyin came to Tibet Yuan Kingdom, she stayed behind closed doors in the Chu Mansion. She finally had a chance to travel tonight, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she naturally took the opportunity to see her fill.She looked around curiously, while looking at the lanterns hanging on the tree, while listening to Wen Hui's allusions to the lantern paintings.

The night is slightly drunk, and the lights are dim.Chu Yueyin relaxed, with a relaxed smile blooming on her face.She and Wen Hui stood together, one handsome, the other beautiful, just like a pair of lovers.

This scene has already fallen into the eyes of someone not far away.He stared at Chu Yueyin closely, with joy, doubt, and dissatisfaction in his eyes... In short, there were mixed feelings, and finally all turned into obsession.
