Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Coming out of the abbot's meditation room, the couple looked at each other in silence and just walked quietly.

Walking all the way back to the front hall, people were still waiting to be the first to burn incense.

"Are you still waiting?" Ning Su turned around and asked her.

What are you waiting for? She has already asked everything from the abbot.

"No more waiting, I'll go make an offering in the incense burner."

There was a row of burning candles next to the steps, and inside was a lamp pavilion for pilgrims to light incense.

Shen Nanqiao respectfully put down a piece of silver, took a handful of incense sticks, and reverently inserted them into the iron incense burner on the white stone base outside, then bowed earnestly.

"Let's go?"

Ning Su looked at the crowded crowd on the other side and followed Shen Nanqiao down the mountain without saying anything.

The steps down the mountain were easier, but the couple walked slower and slower.

"What did the monk say to you just now?"

Ning Su felt that he had done his best to suppress the rage in his heart, and his words were as forbearing as possible.

Shen Nanqiao sighed softly.

"I asked for a signature."

"You're begging me too?" Ning Su wasn't stupid. The person the two had just mentioned was obviously him. "The content of the letter is not good?"

Shen Nanqiao considered his words carefully before speaking.

"It's not bad at all, it's just the same old stuff."

But Ning Su was a very capable person, usually an expert at interrogation, and he sneered immediately.

"I know that they in Buddhism have the concept of changing one's fate. Don't listen to the nonsense of that evil monk. If it weren't for the title bestowed by the late emperor, I'm afraid I would have been sued to the government long ago."

Shen Nanqiao found it funny. The mountain breeze was a little chilly late at night, so she raised her hand and pulled her cloak tighter.

"Don't you believe in these strange and supernatural things? If you don't believe them, you should think that they are all fake. What does it matter whether I listen or not, believe or not?"

Ning Su tilted his head to look at her. The little girl had a mischievous look on her face. He spoke seriously.

"No one in this world is worth your effort except yourself." Then he paused, "Including me."

Shen Nanqiao turned his face away, not wanting to explain his experiences in these two lives, and he was the only person who showed absolute kindness to him.

In her previous life, she was slow to realize things, but in this life, she is the foresighted one and naturally wants to turn the tide.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Ning Su reached out and pulled the girl by the shoulders. Just as he was about to give her a few words of instruction, he heard a loud bang behind him.

The two of them subconsciously turned around, and the first round of New Year's Eve fireworks at Longfu Temple rose into the sky, decorating the sky with colorful lights and illuminating each other's profiles.

Shen Nanqiao was instantly moved.

This is her first New Year's Eve after her rebirth. How lucky she is to be able to feel the hustle and bustle of life again.

All the unhappiness and depression just now disappeared along with the fireworks.

She lowered her head slightly, and pulled Ning Su's sleeve under the light, half acting coquettishly and half begging.

"Where were you going to take me? Is it too late to go now?"

Hearing this, Ning Su was about to say something softly, and all the lessons he was about to say were blocked. Longfu Temple would set off fireworks half an hour before and after New Year's Eve.

So if you calculate it, there is still some time until midnight, which should be enough.

Thinking of this, Ning Su held Shen Nanqiao's hand and ran down the stairs.

"Walk."

The mountain breeze lifted the hem of her skirt, bringing with it a hint of imperceptible tenderness. In the darkness, Shen Nanqiao tightly held the hand that was holding hers.

The carriage hurried towards the city, with fireworks filling the air along the way, as if one could reach out and hold the stars in the sky in one's hand.

As we got closer to the city gate, we could see a lot of noise coming from the moat.

Shen Nanqiao poked his head out curiously. As far as he could remember, only the Lantern Festival in the capital city had such a grand occasion.

“Is New Year’s Eve also this lively?”

Ning Su just smiled and said nothing.

The carriage soon stopped by the moat.

"Come down and have a look."

Shen Nanqiao suddenly felt some uncertainty in his heart and blurted it out.

"Are you preparing any surprises?"

Ning Su stretched out his hand and gently pulled the person out of the carriage.

I saw the moat was brightly lit, and the river was dotted with small lights, scattered like thousands of stars, so beautiful that it looked like a fairyland on earth.

Shen Nanqiao was completely shocked and couldn't explain what he was feeling at that moment.

"I remember your birthday is in June."

She was born on a summer night when lotus flowers were in full bloom, but not many people remember it.

"So you prepared all this?" She looked at the moat, where lights flickered. "It took a lot of effort, didn't it?"

Ning Su smiled.

"It's OK, but there aren't many craftsmen making lotus lanterns at this time of year."

Shen Nanqiao was so shocked that he was stunned, and his lips trembled for a long time.

"Are these the Su family's lotus lanterns?" When she said the last three words, her voice rose slightly.

There were only two craftsmen in the capital who were good at making lotus lanterns. Because her mother also passed away on a summer night, she would personally visit them every year to ask them to make lanterns.

She knew too well how rare this thing was. Not to mention in the coldest days of winter, even in summer and autumn it was hard to get a lamp.

What’s more, there are so many!

Ning Su said it in a light tone.

"I always felt that I missed your coming-of-age birthday, and I didn't want to leave the regret in this year, so I thought of this way to make up for it."

The light from the lights reflected in her eyes, causing tiny ripples, and the ripples in her heart were gradually magnified.

Shen Nanqiao thought of her coming-of-age ceremony, which had become a little blurry, but the scene before her was destined to be remembered by her for the rest of her life.

The banks of the moat were crowded with people, and the lights made the night seem as bright as day.

"Just think of it as so many people sending you blessings together." Ning Su's eyes fell on a certain lamp in Hanoi, as if muttering to himself, "I hope that you will be healthy every year and live a hundred years without worries."

Shen Nanqiao's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to wipe them away quickly, but felt it was too obvious.

"Will the emperor blame me for being so ostentatious?" She was happy but also a little worried. "Are those people in the Censorate easy to talk to?"

Ning Su smiled conceitedly.

"They are not so idle as to be this busy. Besides, why do you think His Majesty granted me leave today?"

Shen Nanqiao didn't know what to say anymore, and at this moment, it seemed as if anything he said would be redundant.

Fireworks from Longfu Temple in the distance rose into the sky again, lighting up the entire sky.

The stars rotate, the sky shines brightly, and another new year comes.

"Happy New Year." Shen Nanqiao reached out and took out a purse from his waist. "I also prepared a gift for you, although it's not as precious as yours."

The little girl's face turned slightly red, but she still took out the things in her purse one by one with trembling fingertips.

Ning Su's pupils suddenly contracted.

This is……

But under the light, Shen Nanqiao's open palm was filled with all kinds of golden dumplings.

Peanut-shaped, gourd-shaped, lotus seed-shaped, longevity peach-shaped, all arranged one by one. This is what wealthy families use for the full moon ceremony when children are young, only it is more diverse.

But that wasn't what he was thinking about.

The familiar scene overlapped with the scene from several years ago, and Ning Su, who had remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, was suddenly moved.

"I thought you probably didn't receive these when you were a kid." She reached out and handed over a full bag, "I'll make it up to you."

Ning Su took the heavy bag without saying a word.

What he didn't say was that he had actually received such a gift many years ago.

The New Year's Eve bells rang from the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Shen Nanqiao quickly grabbed Ning Su's sleeve and said with a smile.

"Happy New Year, everything goes well. From this year onwards, I will be the first one to congratulate you every year."
