Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 56
On a night in early spring, the moon was shining like water, illuminating the door of a large family in Hangzhou Prefecture. There were yellow lanterns hanging in front of the door, emitting a golden radiance in the night.

A middle-aged businessman with a big belly was lying on the bed struggling desperately, his hands and feet were all trapped, his bloodshot eyes stared resentfully at a woman in brocade by the bed.

"Ma'am, we have been serving porridge for ten days, do we want to continue?" A servant ran in and bent down to ask for instructions.

"Continue, wherever there are people who are hungry, I will give porridge there. Even if I spend all my wealth, I will let no one in Hangzhou city go hungry."

The woman gritted her teeth and said, but the rich businessman on the bed was in more pain. He had a numb nucleus in his mouth and made a whooping sound, looking like a wild beast.

For the next ten days, in front of the temples in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, there were servants of the Cui family, a wealthy family, serving porridge on the street.

The common people praised him, saying that the Cui family master was a great benevolent person, and vowed that there would be no hungry person in Hangzhou City. However, when the reputation spread throughout Hangzhou, and even the governor wanted to send a commendation plaque to Master Cui, the donation stopped.

Later, someone saw Master Cui, who hadn't been out for half a month, appearing on the street with a sallow face, and the strangest thing was that he, who has always loved food, ran faster than a rabbit when he heard the word "eat".

No one knows why Master Cui's temperament changed so much, but Hangzhou City is too big and there are too many new things. This strange thing that happened in the early spring was quickly blown away by the rain and wind in the spring.

A piece of flying flowers reduces the spring, and the wind is full of worries.And look at the eyes, don't get tired of drinking too much wine into your lips.

In the late spring, there was a drizzle in the city of Hangzhou. At the beginning, the rain was like smoke and dust, thin and charming eyes, but later it became bigger and bigger, making passers-by on the street start to trot.

Even the hawkers who set up small stalls put away their stalls, and the old man who sold the coir raincoat hurriedly came out of the house to take the coir raincoat and stood on the side of the crowded road, wanting to take advantage of the good rain to make a deal.

At this time, in the dripping rain, Wang Zijin was on his way. He was walking briskly, wearing a coir raincoat and holding an umbrella. He seemed to be going to pick up someone, and he was still muttering strange words.

"Girl... please wait a moment..." As soon as his words came out, they were scattered by the rain, making it hard to hear.

A beautiful girl in a pink dress was trotting to lead him the way. Hearing his call, she stopped and looked back with a sweet smile.

The smile is like a flower, and the person is picturesque, which makes him fascinated. At this time, even if the girl wants to take him to the underworld, he will follow her.

"My lord, we're almost there." The girl stopped talking and pointed to the banner of the restaurant, "He'll be waiting for you here."

"I don't know how to call the girl?"

"Don't ask me any more. If you come to Hangzhou Mansion again, you will see me every spring."

"Every year in spring?" Wang Zijin couldn't help but feel flustered when he heard it. Is this the date for setting a date with me?

Before she got an answer, she swung her willow waist and floated up to the second floor.

"Wait for me." Wang Zijin hurriedly chased after him.

As soon as he climbed the stairs, he was dumbfounded. Due to the heavy rain, the restaurant was empty and there were few customers. On the second floor, there was only a beautiful boy in a white brocade robe sitting by the window drinking. Where is there any slim beauty?
The handsome young man was very happy to see him, with a smile on his handsome face, "Zi Jin, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Fei Xiao, are you alone?" Wang Zijin asked blankly, "Where's the girl who led the way just now?"

"What kind of girl, sit down and talk."

Wang Zijin took a seat while looking around, "It's a girl in a pink dress, with bright yellow trim on the sleeves."

"Is it what you're talking about?" Fei Xiao said as she spread her palm, only to see a pink peach blossom with a yellow core in her palm.

Wang Zijin looked at the flower, and the heat in his heart suddenly cooled down, and he said dejectedly, "You're playing tricks on me again."

"This is the last Peach Blossom Demon of this year. She just fell on the table with the wind, so I will drive her to call you."

Wang Zijin remembered what the girl said, and laughed again, "Seeing me every spring, that's what I meant."

"Isn't it for nothing?" Wang Zijin asked.

After hearing this, Fei Xiao smiled and said: "This year's spring is over, she fell from the tree, but she loves cleanliness by nature, she doesn't want to be trampled on by others, so she begged me to help her find a quiet place to bury her. "

Wang Zijin didn't expect a peach blossom to be so elegant and clean, so he couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Then let's bury her together tomorrow."

"Okay!" Fei Xiao smiled and stood up, "But let's go home now."

"Ah? Don't you drink?" Wang Zijin exclaimed.

"I'm done drinking."

"What? Then why did you ask me to come all the way?" Wang Zijin thought that the beauty was gone, and there was still good wine.

"I asked you to bring an umbrella."

"..."

Fei Xiao smirked, picked up the umbrella that Wang Zijin put on the table, and went downstairs.Wang Zijin had no choice but to put on his wet coir raincoat again, and left the restaurant with him.

At this time, the sky was getting dark and there were few pedestrians on the road. Fei Xiao and Wang Zijin walked towards the inn one by one.

Due to the unhappiness in his heart, the prince gasped and stopped talking, and the two were speechless all the way.

It just so happened that there was a woman in gray homespun clothes running towards him with unkempt hair, and bumped into Prince Jin's arms.

He couldn't dodge in time, and was knocked back by the woman.

"You don't matter..." He stretched out his hand to help that person, but he stretched out his hand, but there was no one there, and the tentacles were wet and cold, but the rain from the sky fell on his palm.

Could it be that I was dazzled just now?

Wang Zijin was still wondering, when he saw Fei Xiao in front of him holding a bamboo umbrella, waiting for him in the rain, hurriedly quickened his pace and followed.

The rain is still falling, pattering, breaking up a piece of late spring.

That day, she was sleeping until midnight, when Feixiao was awakened by a sound in a daze, it sounded like someone chewing.

His hearing senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people, and the noise really disturbed him from falling asleep.

He held a candle and pushed open the door to see that there was a person beside the table, holding a wooden barrel for food and holding a big spoon, eating happily. It turned out that it was Prince Jin.

"Zi Jin, what's wrong with you, Zi Jin? Are you hungry?" Seeing his appearance, Fei Xiao couldn't help being worried.

After hearing this, Wang Zijin turned around and saw nothing different from usual, his cheeks were bulging and stuffed with rice, "I'm so hungry, so I went downstairs to get some food to eat."

"Eat less, it's so late."

"Understood, I'll go to bed when I'm full." Wang Zijin murmured in agreement, and buried his head in eating again.

When Fei Xiao saw it, she just thought it was funny, so she had to go back to sleep.

Early the next morning, it was already dawn, and the prince hadn't come in or out of the room yet, only a big wooden barrel was placed on the table in the living room.

Fei Xiao walked over, and when she saw the bucket, she couldn't help being dumbfounded: she saw that the huge bucket was empty, not even a single grain of rice was left.

When did Wang Zijin eat so much?

Before he could finish thinking, the door of the room was pushed open suddenly, which startled him.He looked again, and it was the prince who came back again, holding a large bag of freshly baked steamed buns in his hand, there were more than a dozen of them, and they were steaming hot.

"Zi Jin, what are you doing?" Fei Xiao was so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth when she saw the magnificent steamed bun.

"I'm so hungry..." Wang Zijin said as he piled the steamed buns on the table, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Fei Xiao saw him, grabbed his steamed bun and said, "Didn't you just eat a big bucket of rice, why are you still hungry?"

"I'm just hungry." Wang Zijin wailed, feeling that his internal organs were empty, and he couldn't fill it no matter what. This kind of emptiness disturbed him and he couldn't sleep well, he couldn't do anything, and all he wanted was to eat.

"So you didn't sleep all night?" Fei Xiao saw that his cheeks were sunken and his eye circles were dark blue, and it seemed that he hadn't rested.

"I can't even eat enough, so why sleep?"

Fei Xiao looked him up and down again, her complexion became more and more ugly.

"What's wrong with you, facing me with such a mournful face?" Wang Zijin said, picked up another steamed bun, and bit off half of it in one bite.

"Zijin..." Feixiao said helplessly, "You seem to be possessed by Hungry."

"Hahahaha..." Wang Zijin laughed so hard that even the crumbs of steamed buns came out of his mouth, "I'm with you every day, and you're like a weather vane for ghosts. How could you let me be possessed by Hungry Mayan?"
