Chapter 649 Mid-Autumn Festival
Li Tai had no patience for fishing, and the fat man fell asleep under the shadow of a tree in less than half an hour.

There was still a snoring sound, Li Zheng looked up at the sky, "Mr. Hengqu borrowed your words, I hope you don't care."

As the sun went down, Xu Hui walked up and said, "My son-in-law, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Princess Jingyang said she wants to eat mooncakes."

Just remembered that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zheng woke up Li Tai who was sleeping under the tree.

Li Tai woke up, wiped his saliva and said, "What's wrong?"

"Go home and make mooncakes."

"it is good!"

When night falls, the village celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has existed since ancient times.

People seem to be used to having this festival, as if it is engraved in the bone marrow, as long as the festival comes, they will celebrate it.

Xiao Sizi sat obediently beside Li Lizhi and ate mooncakes.

Li Ji was in Cheng Chumo talking about all the wars back then.

Li Tai, Li Yifu, and Xu Jingzong are playing cards.

Li Zheng sat alone on the recliner, looking at the bright moon in the night sky.

It has been heading southeast along the direction of Luoshui in Chang'an.

Luoyang
Duan Lun is attending this gathering of five surname families.

This Mid-Autumn Festival tour is in a manor outside Luoyang City.

Watching all kinds of people walking and talking to each other.

Duan Lun drank his drink and observed these people.

Most notable is one of the women.

She was arguing with several elders about something.

It can be roughly heard clearly that she means that the five surnames need to change themselves, rather than thinking about dealing with Li Zheng.

I have to say that this is the first time I have heard such a statement from a member of the five surnames.

Seeing several elders scolding her and then walking away, Duan Lun stepped forward and said with a smile, "What's your name for this girl?"

She glanced at Duan Lun and said, "Who are you?"

Duan Lun introduced himself: "I'm at Duan Lun's house in the west of Liaoxi, Duan Lun."

She smiled disdainfully and said: "I heard about you, you are the Duan Lun who went to the aid of the Turkic people, but caused the Turkic people to perish, and was almost condemned by Li Shimin to barely save his life."

Duan Lun nodded sheepishly, he did not expect this woman to be so strong.

She took one more look at Duan Lun and left.

It was really uncomfortable to be underestimated by a woman. Duan Lun found someone and asked, "Who was that woman just now?"

The scholar who was drinking said: "A girl from the Li family in Zhao County, don't provoke her."

Duan Lun nodded slightly.

The garden party is very simple. Most of them are a group of children of the five surnames who know each other, and some offshoots come to make friends. For many people, being able to make friends with the children of the five surnames may change their career in life.

In an attic, some descendants of aristocratic families gathered to argue. Each family had more than a dozen direct descendants gathered there. Everyone’s expressions were contemptuous. A small hall determines the fate of a noble family, and it’s a group of self-righteous people. Ignorant people who don't know the changes in the world outside.

I don't know what they said in the attic after a long distance.

Duan Lun dismissed these people's actions.

He took out a letter that he had prepared in advance and came to a backyard in the garden.

There were very few people here, and a guard blocked the way.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing the other party's cross-examination, Duan Lun explained: "Duan Lun next time, come to see Mr. Cui, Mr. Cui has recommended you."

"Duan Lun, right? Let him in."

There was a voice in the yard, and the guard let him go.

Duan Lun walked into this backyard step by step, and saw Cui Lin sitting on a recliner, who is also the current head of the Cui family, and this time the Mid-Autumn Festival Garden Party was also hosted by the Cui family.

Cui Lin's son Cui Fu stood aside.

Cui Lin stared at Duan Lun, "I heard from my son that you have friendship with Yan Qinli."

Duan Lun bowed and said, "It's just an acquaintance."

Glancing at the old face under the candlelight, Cui Lin became the patriarch of the Cui family in Chang'an when he became the patriarch of the five surnames and seven favorites. He remembered that Cui Lin was still middle-aged at that time. After Li Zheng married Princess Changle.

Cui Lin couldn't afford to fall ill.

Today's Cui Lin looks very old and thin, with white beard and hair, as if his body has been drained by illness.

After handing over the letter, Duan Lun said respectfully, "This time I'm here to bid farewell to Mr. Cui."

Cui Fu asked suspiciously, "Farewell? Don't you stay for a few more days?"

Cui Lin glanced at the contents of the letter, and stared at Duan Lun, "You want to sever contact with our Cui family?"

Duan Lun stood up straight and said: "The old man didn't look carefully, what I mean is to cut off contact with everyone with the five surnames."

After hearing this, Cui Fu hurriedly took the letter and glanced at it, staring at Duan Lun, "What do you mean by that?"

Duan Lun said in a low voice: "I also want to do something on my own. These days, I would like to thank brother Cui and the Cui family for taking care of me, but what I want to do must be separated from the five surnames."

Cui Fu stepped forward and said, "You want to join Li Zheng?"

Duan Lun shook his head, "No, I don't want to join Li Zheng."

"Then why on earth are you?"

Duan Lun said in a low voice: "When a boat leaves the river bank, everyone realizes that it is going to sink. At this time, the person who gets off the boat first is the easiest to swim to the shore, and the easiest to survive. Let me tell you what I mean. To be clear, I feel that the family is going to perish."

Cui Lin kept looking at Duan Lun.

Cui Fu said loudly: "Duan Lun, we have treated you well."

Duan Lun said with a bitter smile: "Brother Cui, you and I don't have to pretend, everyone understands that you are only approaching me for the sake of writing Lang Yanqinli."

"You!" Cui Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I've never met someone like you, do you think we will beg to keep you?"

Duan Lun still smiled and said: "That's all for now, Brother Cui, Mr. Cui is good at doing it for himself."

After speaking, Duan Lun turned around and left, not wanting to see the expressions of Cui Fu and the Patriarch of the Cui family behind him.

After walking out of the courtyard, Duan Lun didn't have the heart to go to the garden party and left here.

One was walking on the lively streets of Luoyang.

There is no curfew here, and there are no Li Shimin and Li Zheng here.

Duan Lun came to a restaurant to stay, went to the guest room and asked for pen and ink with the clerk.

Writing something for Li Zheng, the relationship between himself and Li Zheng is just mutual use.

It is enough to do things for Li Zheng. In the letter, the Luoyang officials who are related to the five surnames are written. The names of these officials are also the last time I did things for Li Zheng.

Maybe I can survive tonight, I don't know what will happen in the future.

Duan Lun knew in his heart that following the five surnames could indeed give him a moment of stability.

But if you want to stand firm, you still have to rely on yourself.

Tubo in the Mid-Autumn Festival is very cold.

Wang Xuance and Li Ke sat by the campfire to keep warm.

After pouring down a mouthful of cold water, Wang Xuance said, "The soldiers and horses from the imperial court have not arrived for a long time. Your Highness King Shu, do we have to wait any longer?"
