The Mid-Autumn Festival, which is on August 15, is called the Mid-Autumn Festival because it coincides with the half of the three autumns.

It is rumored that the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Sui Dynasty, prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, and arrived at the Great Qi Dynasty, this festival has become a traditional festival of the government and the opposition every year, and on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the imperial court will also have a three-day holiday to celebrate, but also to allow the officials and people to reunite with their families.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the people in Luoyang City put on the brocade clothes that they would only be willing to wear during the festival early in the morning, all of them were in good spirits, full of joy, and reunited with their respective families.

Men or three or five people get together to talk and gossip; Women are busy in the kitchen with the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, or shopping for various goods in the market; And the children are the most joyful, this one holding firecrackers, the other holding a wooden sword, like a group of chirping sparrows laughing and chasing.

For Cui Wenqing, the current "lonely man", the Mid-Autumn Festival is actually not very meaningful to him, and it is impossible to reunite with him in Fuzhou; Second, he didn't want to participate in the Yang Mansion family banquet to see Yang Huairen's face, so he went out of the mansion early in the morning and walked towards Beishi.

Like him, Gao Neng is also alone in Luoyang, so the two found a tea shop to drink tea and chat and kill time.

However, at the first glance of Gao Neng, Cui Wenqing was a little uneasy.

Today, this guy took off the moon-white student robe that runs through the weekdays, and replaced it with a set of pale yellow brocade robes with white edges.

If a person of this color wears clothes of ordinary shape, he may have a bit of indescribable wealth, but Gao Neng's body is quite fat, and his belly is as big as a ball.

Seeing Cui Wenqing's expression, he seemed to have been stunned, Gao Neng smiled quite proudly, and said smugly: "Brother Cui, how is my dress today?" How rich is it? ”

Cui Wenqing laughed and laughed, but he didn't want to tell the truth and hit his self-confidence, so he had to nod his head and say vaguely: "Hmm...... Not bad......"

"Of course it's good." Gao Neng didn't notice Cui Wenqing's somewhat tangled expression at all, and laughed loudly, "Don't hide it from Brother Cui, this dress was specially cut by me in the silk village, and the cost of the fabric and the cost of cutting and rushing to work add up to more than ten taels of silver, I believe that Miss Sima will definitely be impressed by me when she sees my outfit." ”

Cui Wenqing laughed angrily and said, "You spent more than ten taels of silver to cut a set of clothes, just for that Sima Wei?" ”

"Yes, hey, Brother Cui, what kind of expression do you have, the Tang Dynasty poet Chen Ziang said: I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone! What is it to spend a little money! ”

"You, you, you're really willing to do it for Sima Wei." Cui Wenqing shook his head and couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, there are not too many guests in the tea shop, there are only seven or eight people, one of them is wearing a hat and a brocade robe, and the handsome Lang Jun is sitting alone, silently sipping a Mengding spring tea.

Hearing the conversation and laughter between Cui Wenqing and Gao Neng, Jinyi Langjun frowned lightly as if he was noisy, put down the teacup in his hand and looked up, when he saw Cui Wenqing, he was stunned and secretly wondered: Why is he also in Luoyang?

Don't think about it, Jin Yilang listened carefully to the conversation between the two without moving, and then vaguely learned that Cui Wenqing was currently a student of Guozijian, and he came to Luoyang to prepare for next year's imperial examination.

After understanding, Jinyi Langjun smiled faintly, and then he was a little curious about the Mid-Autumn Festival Yaji they were talking about, so he couldn't help but have the idea of going to explore it together.

Cui Wenqing didn't realize that he had been remembered by someone with a heart, he chatted with Gao Neng Renewing Tea for a long time, and after lunch, he slowly walked towards the Luo River.

Luohe River, known as Luoshui in ancient times, is an important tributary of the right bank of the river, which runs through the whole city of Luoyang, and divides it into Luoyang County in the north and Henan County in the south.

In mid-autumn, Cui Wenqing stood on the north bank of the Luohe River and looked up, and could see that under the blue sky and white clouds, a wide stream of water was rolling, and the light water mist was steaming like smoke clouds.

On the wide river, there are already many boats shuttling back and forth, drifting leisurely.

Among these boats are the private painting boats of high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as the luxurious dancing boats of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and the sturdy cargo ships full of goods.

The embarkation place and time agreed by Sima Wei is the bridgehead of Shenshi Xinzhong.

When Cui Wenqing and Gao Neng walked along the embankment to Xinzhong Bridge, they saw a two-story painting boat already moored there and waiting quietly.

This painting boat is not big, at most ten zhang length, but it is very beautifully built, the painting boat is heavy and the building is painted with beams and carved buildings, exquisite, each window is also tied with a variety of colorful ribbons, this time by the river breeze blowing, driving the ribbons such as amateur slender hands gently swinging, it looks indescribably beautiful and moving.

The two didn't say much, and went directly down the embankment to the dock, and what caught their eyes was Sima Wei's beautiful and delicate beauty.

Today's Sima Wei is as beautiful as a fairy.

The one she was wearing was still her favorite red dress, with a cloud-green silk tied into a flowing cloud sideburns, and a golden butterfly swayed on the sideburns, which was gently swayed by the whistling river wind.

"Brother Cui, Brother Gao, the little girl has been waiting for a long time." Seeing Cui Wenqing and Gao Neng arriving together, Sima Wei smiled happily, obviously very happy.

Seeing this, Gao Neng hurriedly bowed deeply, and said politely: "Xiaosheng has seen Miss Sima, and it is really ashamed that Miss Lao has made a special trip here to greet him. ”

Sima Wei held her hand and said with a smile: "Senior brother doesn't need to be polite, speaking of which, Wei Wei has just arrived." Yan Bamei looked at Cui Wenqing with her eyes and said with a smile, "Why didn't Brother Cui speak today?" Could it be that you really don't want to come to the banquet? ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "If Miss Sima sincerely invited me to the banquet, I would be happy to come to the banquet, but I am afraid that what Miss Sima is preparing is a Hongmen banquet, and I, Liu Bang, am a little worried." ”

Sima Wei's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Even if it is really a Hongmen banquet, I believe it will not be difficult for you, Brother Cui, many classmates have already boarded the boat, let's go too." ”

Cui Wenqing was not afraid, smiled and walked forward, followed Sima Wei, walked on the boarding plank, and entered the painting boat.

At this moment, the brocade-clothed Langjun who followed Cui Wenqing saw this, and couldn't help but stand still and think for a while, and his body moved like a white swan, and flew onto the painting boat from another place.
