Chapter 7 Lord Wei's Response
From the archives to the vestibule, Wei Xingzhen walked all the way with wind under his feet.
When he was about to reach the reception room, he suddenly slowed down again.
Wei Xingzhen tidied up his clothes, raised his feet, reached out and gently brushed the dust on the upper, and then stepped into the door with a normal expression.
Feng Yishu had been waiting for a long time and looked unhappy. When he saw Wei Xingzhen, he sneered, "Mr. Wei is busy enough."
Wei Xingzhen quickly glanced at Feng Yishu.
He had empty hands, and there was no letter on the table nearby - it was seen that he either hid the letter somewhere or came over to find happiness.
"It's really busy today." Wei Xingzhen sat down in front of the master's seat, "Wulang came to see me today, what's wrong?"
Feng Yishu put down the cup in his hand and stood up slowly, "Oh, I'm fine... I can't come and see Lord Wei, my brother-in-law who is in a high position?"
Wei Xingzhen felt the blue veins on his forehead jump gently.
He looked at Feng Wulang quietly, speechless for a moment.
Feng Yishu raised his eyebrows lightly, "Hey, that's really awesome - if it weren't for my sister's entrustment, I would have come to your place to see you!"
Wei Xingzhen reached out and rubbed his temples gently, "Where is the letter A Yan asked you to send?"
Feng Yishu took out the envelope from his arms and placed it on the table next to him. Wei Xingzhen stood up and reached out to take it. But Wulang's index finger pressed tightly on the letter, without any intention of letting go.
"how?"
"Mr. Wei took the letter away. How did I explain it to my sister after I go back?" Feng Wulang said coldly, "You must not write me a receipt or something. Do you tell me about the letter you picked up from me and the sealing of the envelope when picking up the letter?"
Wei Xingzhen snorted and said, "I have to look at the sealing of the envelope to find out if it is intact?"
Feng Wulang then withdrew his hand.
Wei Xingzhen took the letter and gently flicked his mouth with his fingers - it was indeed intact.
He turned around and took the paper and pen on the table nearby, and quickly wrote on the paper "A Yan's letter has been delivered by Goro himself, the seal is intact, don't worry."
Then he took out the seal from his arms and knocked a chapter on the lower right corner of the paper.
“It’s almost the same.”
Feng Yishu received the receipt and ran out without looking back. It seemed that he felt uncomfortable if he stayed here with Wei Xingzhen for a moment.
Wei Xingzhen watched Feng Yishu step out of the yard gate, then immediately turned his head to the window of the room, and opened the envelope alone.
Feng Yan's familiar handwriting caught his eye:
"Xingzhen, after parting with Mount Daizong, I haven't seen each other for a long time."
"It is probably difficult to explain the many changes in the past in just a few words. In recent days, I have been worried and confused, and I don't know what to do."
These lines of words have already made Wei Xingzhen frown, and he wished he could fly to the Feng family's courtyard to ask what was wrong with A Yan.
Why are you worried?
Why are you confused and sad?
"After thinking about it, I want to see you again. I heard from Wuro that there is a lantern festival by the Luo River on the third day of the September 19th. I wonder if Xingzhen can take the time to go with him."
"All trivial matters will be discussed together when we meet."
Lantern Festival?
Wei Xingzhen felt a little confused, and then looked down to only Feng Yan's signature:
"Shunsong Shiqi"
"Feng Yan Jingqi"
Wei Xingzhen read this short letter six or seven times again until the clerk appeared at the door again, "Sir, do you still read those materials later? Do you want to put them away first, and wait until you have time--"
The clerk's voice came to an abrupt end. He saw Wei Xingzhen standing alone in front of the window with a sad look he had never seen before, obviously not listening to what he was saying.
"grown ups?"
Wei Xingzhen came to his senses, "Yes."
“Those materials—”
"I'll go later, you can retreat first." Wei Xingzhen whispered.
After the clerk left, he slowly sat down on a nearby chair.
Looking at A Yan's letter again, his eyes fell at the beginning of the letter.
This time, she did not write "Mr. Wei".
...
At night, Feng Yan and Xiao Qi were walking in the corridor of their homes to digest food. The lantern festival was approaching, and a few colorful lanterns were hung in the Feng family's yard. Each of them was hung with a sealed note - the riddle of the lantern was above.
According to legend, many years ago, before the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Sheng Yuanjun, confronted the former Chu for more than a month, and surrounded him without suppressing him, and persuaded him to surrender for many months.
The king of the former Chu country knew that there was not much time, so he decided to sacrifice his life for his country and leave it to Dazhou a dead city. The day before the food was left to the bottom, he ordered the guards of the inner court to poison the wells in the city at night.
Someone among the guards learned about this and felt that the opportunity to attack the city had arrived, so he quietly climbed to the east of the city at night and put a paper lantern into the sky.
The paper lantern fell into Emperor Shengyuan's military camp, and the soldiers found two sentences written on it.
One sentence is that the smoke disappears and the sun rises and no one sees it; the other sentence is that the world participates in business;
No one understood what this meant, so he took this strange paper lantern to find Emperor Shengyuan. After the emperor saw it, he immediately ordered to lead a group of fire monks to take the lead, attack the south of the city at night, destroying the enemy overnight, and almost no soldiers were abandoned, and they broke through Chang'an.
Everyone asked why later, Emperor Sheng Yuan said, these are two riddles. The previous sentence "smoke" disappeared and no one was seen, so only "fire" was left; the next sentence participating in Shang are all stars in the sky, people will sect and Shang are separated, which is also the word "fire".
Among the five elements, the south belongs to fire, so the meaning of the riddle on the lamp is "fire attacks the south of the city".
"You are a lie! Is it really like this when fighting?"
Xiao Qi exclaimed.
"I won't say anything else, take a step back ten thousand steps. What if the paper lantern was not set up by Emperor Sheng Yuan's people, but a trap set by the former Chu... He also took the cultivators of the Fire genus to the south of the city?"
Feng Yan smiled, "I don't know if I really don't know. In short, this is the origin of the Lantern Festival on the third day of the September 19th. Emperor Sheng Yuan besieged the city for several months, and finally entered Chang'an at the dawn of the third day of the September 19th. The so-called Lantern Festival is to commemorate this battle without bloodshed."
"Ah," Xiaoqi made a disgusting expression, "This is too mysterious... No wonder I had to watch lanterns to guess riddles. I thought there was any good myth."
"These drawn on the lamp are all mythological stories. Wouldn't it be enough for you to let Goro tell you?"
"Sister, go with us?"
Feng Yan smiled and shook her head.
The sisters were talking, and two people walked in front of them.
Feng Yan looked up and saw that one of them was Changsui beside her father, while the other was an acquaintance she hadn't seen for a long time.
"What are you going?" Feng Yan looked at the visitor unexpectedly, and her eyes couldn't help but look behind him - she wasn't ready yet!
When I saw Feng Yan, I smiled, "Madam, don't worry! My lord didn't come tonight, I came alone."
Feng Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing?" she asked softly.
"Madam, can you speak with me?"
Feng Yan and Qu Shen walked aside, Qu Shen turned his back to Xiaoqi and Feng Yuandao's Changsui, took out a cardboard box from his arms as the cover and handed it over.
"I'll send a play to my wife!"
"Addition?"
