Chapter 115 Little cousin sister, please conduct yourself with dignity
Tonight was the full moon of the fifteenth day of the month. Don't know on which family the autumn would fall.
Because the custom here was to burn the incense and wors.h.i.+p the moon, they prayed silently in their hearts. Shu Huan hoped that her thoughts could be felt by the relatives who are far away in a different time and s.p.a.ce. It was the best if they don't grieve anymore and no longer worry about her.
Next to them, Meijing earnestly wished, "Wors.h.i.+pping the moon, wis.h.i.+ng for second young master to sail with the moon overhead and climb to the status of a deity. Wis.h.i.+ng for second young mistress's appearance to be as beautiful as Chang'e and to be round and full as the moon.
All the frustration had turned into nothing after hearing her wishes.
Shu Huan couldn't help but laugh. She raised her head and said, "I don't want to be round and full like the moon."
Moreover, here was not the age where being fat was considered beautiful. It was the best to be fit.
Meijing was startled for a moment and then thought about how Shu Huan would walk and lie when her bodyshape was as round and full as the moon. She also couldn't help but laugh, "I often hear people say this when they wors.h.i.+p the moon. I didn't think deeply about it."
Gu Xiran listened at the side and just laughed. After that, he let Meijing call the other maids to come wors.h.i.+p the moon to ask for auspiciousness and for the liveliness.
Looking at the maids laughing and chatting, Shu Huan also felt her mood become better. Just when she raised her head to look at the moon that was hanging in the sky, she suddenly felt Gu Xiran wrap his hand around her and whispered, "Do you want to go outside to enjoy the lanterns?"
"Now?" Shu Huan was surprised. This time, if it was calculated according to the modern times, it was almost nine o'clock. In the ancient times, it was already deep in the night.
"The custom here is that on every Mid-Autumn, the lantern market doesn't stop," Gu Xiran laughed. "If you want to go, it's not too late now. It's just that the countryside can't be compared to the city. The lights aren't so brilliants."
"Go! I'm going!" Shu Huan felt excitement. Since, she couldn't go back to the modern times, then she would regard this life as a rare trip to the ancient times. After all, not everyone had such an opportunity.
Gu Xiran laughed, "If you want to go, then be quicker. Go back and put on two thicker clothes on first. The wind is very cold outside."
Shu Huan ran away as he was speaking. When Meijing saw that, she eagerly chased her and said, "Second young mistress, take me with you. I also want to go!"
"Hey, call Shang Xin. She is the most familiar with here. With her, we won't be afraid to get lost."
As the two talked, the two ran away. Gu Xiran looked at their backs and smiled.
At this time, Zhang Hanfang had finished teaching the maid a lesson. She was about to return to Heavily Scented Building full of anger. When she pa.s.sed here, she happened to see Gu Xiran standing under the moon and smiling with his hands behind his back. His posture was long and straight. His clothes moved with the wind. With the bright moon behind him, he truly looked like someone from a painting.
