Youyou Sanshengyue

As night fell, colorful lanterns were hung up in all the streets of the capital. The most eye-catching ones were of course the lanterns at the entrances of some big shops. There were images of animals, people, and plants, and they swayed in the evening wind together with Jiubao in various poses.The sharp and sharp eaves on weekdays suddenly became shy, and disappeared in the dark night, making the red lanterns hanging on it red with embarrassment.The cries of hawkers along the street can be heard endlessly, and the whole Chang'an Avenue is filled with festive warmth.

"How so? We didn't come in vain." Lin Wenfang yelled excitedly, his face lit up by the lights, "One day I will become the champion of Jinke, and I will ride a white horse through the streets and alleys of the capital."

There is a special open space in front to perform dragon and lion dances. On weekdays, the ladies who don’t leave the gate and don’t walk out of the door are all powdered, carrying delicate lanterns and moving lotus steps to crowded places. If you can meet your own The lover of dreams is naturally a good thing that is hard to find.A few young ladies passed by Mingyou and his party, their eyes lit up immediately, and they turned their heads three times and winked at each step.Youyou is romantic by nature, raised her sword eyebrows and gave a handsome look in return, and those girls rushed over like a cloud of powder, handing over handkerchiefs, fruits or headgears with blushing faces.

"How?" Ming You Chao Xuanyue smirked smugly, as if her handsomeness had been recognized by everyone in the world.Xuanyue, who was originally cold-faced, frowned disdainfully: "What's so difficult about this?" Speaking of a soul-stirring ice beauty's face with a lotus-like smile, all the girls around her exclaimed, and the long sleeves covered her face. Yan seemed to be drunk, and seemed to be ashamed of his inferior appearance, even the men around him cast friendly glances.

"How?" Xuanyue imitated Ming You's wicked tone and looked sideways at his handsome face, then put away her ecstatic smile.

The corridor of the restaurant not far away is covered with colorful lights, and there is often a note with a riddle hanging under the lights.This is the most popular activity of the Lantern Festival besides releasing river lanterns.Many literati gathered in restaurants, sipping light tea and light wine while browsing lantern riddles. If they encountered a riddle that could be guessed, they would tear off the note, and just take the note to the shopkeeper and tell the correct answer to get the riddle. A good glass of wine.

Lin Wenfang and Ming You suddenly became interested and decided to go to the restaurant to experience it for themselves.Boss Qian's family was not proficient in literature and ink, so they went to watch the dragon and lion dance. They agreed to meet at the Xiangsi Bridge after an hour.So the two scholars couldn't wait to board the restaurant, and secretly competed who could guess the most lantern riddles, while Xuanyue walked silently beside the two and smiled, thinking that these two people usually look like serious gentlemen, but now they are like children Stubborn, there must be a winner or loser; what made him even more amusing was that the two of them frowned and looked at one riddle without guessing why, which shows that this good wine is not easy to drink.

Being bored at leisure, Xuanyue also raised her hand and picked up a riddle, on which was simply written a few words "Sheep Cry (play the name of the card with one word)".Since teaching in the academy, Xuanyue has studied various books every day, and his knowledge has naturally improved a lot. In addition, Cipai has always been familiar to those who study music. He only thought for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Interesting, look It looks like I tasted this fine wine first."

"Why, can you guess it?" Ming You and Lin Wenfang hurriedly asked in unison, both of them were at a loss for the mystery of "sheep bleating". Originally, the shorter the mystery, the harder it was to guess.

Xuanyue tore off the note in a good mood, and even joked: "Whoever of you meows like a sheep, come and listen, and I'll tell you the answer." Ming You and Lin Wenfang didn't have the shame to imitate a sheep, so they could only exchange each other in a daze. After a few glances, he tugged on Xuanyue's sleeves one by one to please him and said, "My good brother, it's okay to tell us, the wine is still yours."

So Xuanyue asked the two to come over with their ears, held back a smile and whispered three words in their ears: "Slow voice".The two were stunned for a moment, and a sheep sounded "baa-baa-" subconsciously in their minds, and then clapped their hands and laughed, "Okay, what a sheep cry, isn't it slow!"

"You two elm-headed ones, don't read the book rotten. In the end, you can't compare with me who plays the piano," Xuanyue kindly reminded: "I don't think the lantern riddles here are difficult, but they can't be solved with dead knowledge. Why not?" Think about it in a crooked way, who doesn't want to have fun when it's a big festival."

With such a reminder from Xuanyue, the two reconsidered these mysteries, and they guessed quite a lot.The three of them held a glass of fine wine and leaned against the vermilion carved railing overlooking the night view of Chang'an Street.The whole street is crowded with people, women's long skirts are fluttering, hair on the temples is floating like dark clouds, and various colored lanterns are lined up along the street, hanging high in pavilions and treetops, as if stars are falling from the sky, and the whole street suddenly turns into a Milky Way on earth, which is too beautiful to behold.In the distance, the shengxiao and gongs and drums came out faintly, playing cheerful and festive music.Lin Wenfang was very poetic, took a sip of fine wine, remembered Xin Qiji's "Sapphire Case? Yuan Xi", and chanted: "Dongfeng night puts flowers and trees, and blows down, stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road The sound of the phoenix flutters, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night."

"Naturally, the melody needs to be sung to be emotional," Xuanyue sang softly and continued: "The moth snow willows are golden strands, and the laughter is full of fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place." Just now After singing, he turned his face and unintentionally met Shang Mingyou's deep eyes full of love.

"What are you looking at?" Xuanyue blushed and hurriedly lowered her head.Ming You didn't hide her hot eyes and continued to look at his blushing face boldly, whispering in his ear: "I find that you smile very beautifully, especially tonight."

"You want to be beaten!" Xuanyue raised her small fist again and lightly hit his solid chest.Ming Youxuanyue was having a great time here, but Lin Wenfang didn't pay attention. He looked at the lotus-shaped lantern next to the wine front with his head in a daze, and gradually saw it from the dancing candlelight inside the lotus. Seeing He Xiaohe's delicate face.

An hour later, everyone gathered at the bridge of lovesickness.The water that was darkened by the night was already full of river lanterns, like a pair of hands holding a weak candle, flowing with the water across the arched moon-shaped bridge, and slowly sailing to the distance.A small paper boat, full of joys and sorrows in the world, sails to every dream of lovesickness.

Boss Qian was the first to write his wish on the river lantern and put it into the water. The river lantern full of expectations seemed a bit heavy and floated slowly.Bao'er tugged at his sister's skirt and muttered excitedly: "Sister... sister... light! light!" The young girl watched the river light of time drifting away, tears filled her eyes with excitement, presumably Her lamp must have the name of her dream lover written on it.

Xuanyue stared blankly at the two siblings of the Qian family, and the previous happiness disappeared after recalling Xuanhua.Perhaps for him, happiness is too extravagant and frivolous, and a little thing can evoke his memory of the sad past.Thinking that when he and Xuanhua were about the same age as the Qian family siblings, Xuanhua would also play games with her.Looking back, I was already alone, and I felt sad.When Ming You handed the river lantern to him, he saw that the corners of his eyes were wet, and hurriedly asked, Xuanyue shook her head and took the river lantern, "When a person is dead, there are many things that cannot be said and things that cannot be done..."

Ming You guessed that he missed Xuanhua, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Xuanhua sees that you are living well now, and the spirit in heaven will rest in peace, and I will take care of you instead of her." But she said that she also became sad, Emotions are wonderful things that can infect each other.Ming You also remembered the young man buried deep in his heart, his handsome face and clear laughter echoed in his mind for a long time, like a slender hand, gently provoking his thoughts.

"Ying You," "Ying You!" "Ying You..." In the memory, the young man used to call his name in various tones, happy, angry, sad, intimate, desperate... every sound reminded him. Broken heartstrings.

Ming You originally planned to write Xuanyue's name on the river lantern, but ended up writing a five-character quatrain instead.

"The time is dim and the water is flowing, and the lanterns are silently expressing their feelings. Reminiscing about the old scene of the old man, I can't see you everywhere." Signed - sent to Jialing.At this time, Xuanyue also wrote her wish, and the two had their own concerns, and carefully put their river lanterns into the river.

The sharp-eyed Mingyou secretly glanced at Xuanyue's river lantern, wanting to see what he had to say to Xuanhua.The moment his eyes touched the river lantern, he was stunned, his heart seemed to be gently kneaded by a gentle hand, it was warm, itchy, and slightly painful.Xuanyue's river lantern is very simple, but a few strokes are enough to show her thoughts: "It's dark and secluded, at the ends of the world, and I will be with you to the death."

It's a pity that Xuanyue didn't see Ming You's poem, maybe it's better this way, seeing some things that I don't understand will only add to the sadness.How would Xuanyue feel if she saw that the dark river lantern was not written for him?

How ruthless a person must be to learn to forget.

How strong a person must be to accept loneliness.

The reason why memories are unforgettable is precisely because too many good things bind people's hearts layer by layer with millions of tentacles, the outside cannot get in, and the inside cannot let go.The grievances in the rivers and lakes, the love and hatred in the world, a sword raises the dust of life and death, leaving half a life lonely and pale.It's hard to tell who has blamed whom, and there is no need to apologize. After all, a word of "love" can be completely wiped out by a word of "sorry".
