Chapter 23 Double Ninth Festival



Wang Yu held Cheng Chen's hand and walked slowly on the street, holding the mooncake he had just won and asked Cheng Chen if he wanted to eat it.

Since it was her husband who won the mooncake, she had to try it. Cheng Chen handed the lamp to her husband, took the mooncake, broke it open, and said in surprise, "The one with lotus seed paste filling is my favorite!"

Wang Yu: “If you like it, just eat it.”

"Husband, eat too." Cheng Chen said as he fed the other half into Wang Yu's mouth. The mooncakes at this time were made with real ingredients and were indeed delicious.

On the way, I bought a sugar man for Cheng Chen. The two of them walked and came to the river. It was different from the river they saw last time during the day. There were no ducks in the river this time. There were only river lanterns floating in the river, and there were many people releasing lanterns on the shore.

There were a few pairs of lovers talking under the tree. In addition to appreciating the moon and lanterns, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also a time for couples to go on blind dates. After all, apart from the Chinese Valentine's Day, there were not many days like this. It was estimated that after tonight there would be another happy event in the surrounding villages.

Cheng Chen also wanted to release river lanterns, so the two of them went to the stall and bought two river lanterns. They took the river lanterns and found an empty place to put them down. The river lanterns slowly floated away with the water flow, and Cheng Chen closed his eyes and made a wish.

Wang Yu waited until he finished making his wish and asked, "What wish did Ah Chen just make?"

"I won't say it. It won't work if I say it!" Cheng Chen looked at the lanterns that were gradually going away. His wish was very simple. He wanted to be with his husband forever. It would surely come true!

Since her husband didn't mention it, she didn't ask. She just asked him if he was happy today. Of course Cheng Chen was happy. Today was the first Mid-Autumn Festival she spent with her husband. Her husband also won her a rabbit lantern. No day could be happier than today!

Wang Yu was happy when he saw Cheng Chen happy. As long as the person next to him could always be happy and happy, he would be satisfied. Wang Yu himself did not expect that Cheng Chen had unknowingly occupied such an important position in his heart.

After watching the lantern festival, the two held hands and walked back together in the moonlight. There were many people like them on the street, couples, children and the elderly were all discussing how lively the lantern festival on the street was. The children, in particular, got to eat snacks and candies that they couldn't eat on weekdays, and they were laughing all the way.

On the second day, Wang Yu went to a bookstore and bought two brushes as a return gift for Chen Yanwen and a festival gift for Song Boyan.

When they arrived at the academy, Chen Yanwen and the others had already arrived. Wang Yu handed over the brush he had bought, and they both accepted it.

"This brush is really nice. By the way, Brother Song gave me a box of delicious jade cakes this morning. I brought it to you too."

After hearing what Chen Yanwen said, Song Boyan took out another box and gave it to Wang Yu, saying, "It's not as good as Brother Chen said. My mother made it herself. It can't be compared with the pastry shop."

"Brother Song, don't belittle yourself. I'm telling the truth." He gestured to Wang Yu to eat, "The teacher hasn't come yet. It's really delicious if you eat a piece."

Wang Yu took out a piece and ate it. It was soft and delicate, melted in his mouth, and had a sweet taste. It was really good.

"Right, right!" Chen Yanwen had just finished speaking when he heard footsteps outside. He quickly put away the snacks and returned to his seat.

The teacher first checked their homework. The three of them wrote well. Even Chen Yanwen made progress in his homework every time, which made him very pleased. He then shared with them the experience and techniques of writing articles and asked them to practice more in their daily lives.

Then he chose one of the Four Books to teach, and asked Wang Yu and the other two to express their understanding. After giving them some pointers, he let them continue studying on their own. If they had any questions, they could ask the teacher again. Master Song's teaching method was mostly inspiring and trial teaching, which allowed them to learn and think actively.

Because Song Boyan arrived later, the progress of the three people was different, so the teacher followed his courses more closely. Master Song had talked about many contents of the book before, so he would usually leave Song Boyan alone to talk for a while, or let Wang Yu and others review and only talk to Song Boyan. Fortunately, Song Boyan was a person who could remember everything he saw. He could basically understand what Master Song said once, and he could also apply it to other similar things.

Wang Yu and Chen Yanwen stared in amazement at Song Boyan's rapid progress in study. In the end, they could only sigh that people are different, and then buried their heads in study.

Today is Double Ninth Festival, the weather is clear and cool in autumn!

Yesterday, Wang Yu and Chen Yanwen made an appointment to go climbing today. Wang Yu brought her husband to the town to meet them. Today, they both wore the new clothes made by Cheng Chen and tied the same sachets, looking very well matched.

When they met up in the town, Chen Yanwen was still sighing at the couple's good looks, not the girl's beauty of course, saying that he envied their relationship and their deep love. His mother also said that she would only marry him off if he passed the imperial examination.

Wang Yu and Song Boyan looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. The four of them walked slowly to the foot of the mountain. There were many dogwoods growing on the mountain. Wang Yu picked one and pinned it on Cheng Chen's head. Picking dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival means wishing each other health, safety, happiness and longevity!

Cheng Chen touched the dogwood on her head and happily picked one for her husband and hung it on his sachet.

The other two saw that even though no one picked any for them, they could still pick some, right? No need to envy them, so they each picked one and pinned it on their clothes.

Along the way, we met many people who were climbing the mountain during the Double Ninth Festival. When we were taking a break, we also met the teacher who was climbing the mountain with his little son. The four of them went forward to greet him, and the teacher waved his hand to indicate that they could feel free and not to be nervous since there was no class today.

The Master's youngest son also greeted them. Although he was still very young, he spoke in a very formal manner, and already had some of the charm of Master Song.

The four of them were still thinking that they could play for a while longer since it was a beautiful day. Just when they were about to separate, they heard the teacher say, "This time, the poem will be about the Double Ninth Festival. Go back and think about it carefully! I'll check it tomorrow."
