Dressed in a thin red gauze coat, she half-knelt in front of the window. The eyes are like water, but they look a little dim. The candlelight in the room illuminated his jade cheeks brightly and movingly, and the sound of banging rods from the streets and courtyards was heard constantly from outside the window.
"My dear, don't be anxious. Today is the Moon Festival, so I will naturally accompany the guests in the hall first. After those people leave, I will definitely be the first to accompany you."
The maid's voice did not interrupt the girl as she continued to look at the full moon in the sky through the red window.
"The moon is so round today." The girl's expression finally changed, and an indescribable sadness spread from her brows. This is the first time even the maid who has been serving closely for a long time has seen such an expression.
Then the girl got off the bed and walked towards the courtyard without putting on her shoes or socks.
"My dear..." The two maids were afraid that the girl would catch a cold, but the girl signaled them not to follow.
The girl came to the courtyard, followed the direction of the moonlight, and stepped under the light and shadow little by little with her toes...
"Are you okay?" The girl kept mumbling something as she walked.
The girl only remembered that that day was also the night of the moon, and that night was also the night of the moon...
"Really, your dad. Today is the Moon Chasing Festival. I don't know why I haven't seen him since the morning. Now the sun has set and he hasn't come back yet." The lady in front of me was wearing a moon robe. Her hair was held up by a purple moon hairpin. Although she looked a little short, she still had a gentle air about her.
"Wan'er, Wan'er." Madam shouted everywhere.
"Mom!" A girl in a green shirt wearing a beautiful princess bun poked her little head out from the side of the wall and said with a smile.
"Where did you run away? I looked for your father but couldn't find him, and I looked for you but I couldn't find him either!" When the lady saw that cute little head, her expression became extremely kind and tolerant, and she said softly.
The little girl remained silent, but she kept a smile on her face, as if she knew something.
"What are you thinking about, little devil? Tell mother." The lady squatted down near the little girl and carefully pinched her chubby face.
"Xuan'er doesn't know." The little girl was a little flustered and didn't dare to look at Madam, so she lowered her head and said in a sweet voice.
"Tell mother, she will buy you moon cakes to eat!" the lady teased.
"...But Daddy didn't let me say it." When the little girl heard the word "Yuesu", she pursed her lips greedily.
"Today's moon cake is the most delicious of the year. If you don't want me to eat it, you can eat it all by yourself!"
The little girl was a little at a loss, but she still said aggrievedly: "Then I can only ask dad to buy it for me."
Madam was so teased by the little girl that she simply stopped asking further questions. But she seemed to have some answers in her heart.
"What did this idiot prepare again?"
As the night gradually unfolded, the full moon gradually hung in the sky, but Lin Shan was nowhere to be seen.
But the little girl pulled the madam and walked out of the house.
"Xuan'er, where are you taking mother? Your father hasn't come back yet, we still have to wait for him." Madam felt a little awkward being pulled by the little guy, and she felt a little awkward holding the little hand.
However, the little girl ignored the lady's words and continued to speed up her pace, with a cute smile on her lips.
The lady didn't know what to do, thinking that Xuan'er wanted to drag Qi into buying mooncakes in the city.
But the path the little guy took himself was really unfamiliar. It was not heading towards the city at all. Instead, it gradually passed through a forest.
How could Xuan'er know about such a secret place. Many questions arose in Madam's mind, but after contacting Lin Shan, she seemed to know something.
Sure enough, the little girl and her wife walked through the woods. Not far away was a stone bridge. At the end of the stone bridge was a pavilion. There were also some good food and moon cakes placed in the pavilion, and there was also a A generous figure that was very familiar to him. Not far below the pavilion is a lake. The lake perfectly projects the moonlight on the lake. It can be said that there is moonlight in the water and the moonlight affects the lake.
After passing the stone bridge, Madam gradually confirmed the identity of the figure behind her, and the little girl slipped from Madam's hand and ran into the arms of the man in front of her.
"Dad! Wan'er's mission is completed! You promised Wan'er the twenty pieces of mooncakes! Hehehehe."
The man turned around, took the little girl into his arms and stood up, and then said happily: "Wan'er is really a good daughter for daddy! You will definitely get everything daddy promised you."
"You two, father and daughter, have indeed colluded to deceive me!" Madam looked at the two of them and felt warm.
"Dad, I have never been willing to tell my mother." The little girl said with a smile, still nibbling on the moon cake she picked up from unknown time.
"Come on, Wan'er, you eat here first. Dad has something to say to your mother." Lin Shan put the little girl on the stool and said.
When the little girl saw the table full of delicious food, she didn't care about anything else, so she smiled and shook her head.
Lin Shan came close to Liu Yuntang, took his jade hand, pinched it in his palm and said, "Xiaotang, it's moon-chasing time today, guess what I have prepared for you."
Liu Yuntang looked at Lin Shan, his eyes full of tenderness, and shook his head slightly.
Then Lin Shan asked Liu Yuntang to close his eyes temporarily, and then he took out the bouquet of crabapples he had prepared from the grass in the distance.
Lin Shan held the bouquet in front of Liu Yuntang, "Xiaotang, open your eyes and take a look!"
Liu Yuntang looked at the red and pink Begonia flowers in Lin Shan's hands and felt a little incredible. How could there be Begonia flowers in Wuling City at this time of year.
"Shan, how did you get it..." The corners of Liu Yuntang's eyes were already a little moist.
"Knowing that you have been partial to Begonia since you were a child, I sent someone to get it from afar a few months in advance. Moreover, today's moon-chasing season was also the day when you and I first met, so I naturally had to prepare it for you." Lin Shan's eyes were also full of love for Liu Yuntang, which made people extremely moved.
After hearing this, Liu Yuntang couldn't bear it anymore and buried his head in Lin Shan's arms.
Lin Shan hugged her tightly in his arms and said, "I can only give you so much for the time being, but I will definitely make your life with Xuan'er better and better in the future."
Liu Yuntang just nodded heavily and said, "Xuan'er and I will always be by your side."
Just as the two were hugging each other, the little girl also came close to them, raised her little arms and said, "Mom and dad, I want it too!"
Lin Shan and Liu Yuntang were also amused by the little girl, and they hugged the little girl together.
Under the moonlight, the figures of a man, a woman and a little girl stood in the pavilion. The occasional sound of wind blew by, but it added a bit of love.
…
"My dear! My dear! The master is coming back." The maid on the side interrupted the girl who was staring at the moonlight in a daze.
The girl wiped her tears and nodded slightly. She still remembered the last scene of that night on the Moon Festival of that year.
The moonlight illuminated the lake water, revealing a bit of tenderness. The three of them sat together in the stone pavilion, with the girl sandwiched between them. Several people looked at the moonlight in the sky, and from time to time they made some happy noises...
