and leave

What Shen Wangshu said was right. On the Lantern Festival, when everyone went out to play, there were indeed not many girls wearing veils, and even fewer married women wore veils.But Lu Yiqing didn't care about this, she was satisfied that others could not see her daughter-in-law's face.

The two carried lanterns and walked among the crowd, still holding hands, and the gazes from all around finally became less.

There are Lantern Festivals for the Lantern Festival everywhere, but the scale and livelyness of different places are obviously different, and Chang'an can be called the most among them.

Lu Yiqing led Shen Wangshu to walk along the entire Suzaku Avenue, guessing lantern riddles, winning lanterns, watching juggling, listening to drum music, and all the bustle of the surroundings. This is the main street that leads directly to the city gate. It's the end.

The lantern festival arranged by the imperial court is only on Suzaku Avenue, but where are the lanterns for the Lantern Festival only hung in this place?Wherever you go along a small path, it is full of lights and people, all of which are lanterns hung up by the people spontaneously.As a result, the entire Lantern Festival extended in all directions, and most of Chang'an's squares and cities became lively following the arrangement. If you leave Suzaku Avenue and change places, it will be another round of excitement.

Lu Yiqing looked left and right, then pulled Shen Wangshu to a fork in the road, and said as he walked, "A few days ago, when I went to inspect the lanterns, I heard that the imperial court has prepared fireworks this year. It was set off on the shore of Taiping Lake, so we can watch the fun."

Shen Wangshu naturally responded, then followed Lu Yiqing with the flow of people, and headed towards Taiping Lake.

Taiping Lake is a lake in the west of Chang'an City. It does not cover a large area, but it has running water. Therefore, every time you go to Shangyuan, there are always people who like to go to the lake to put river lanterns.When the river lantern enters the water, it will float in Taiping Lake for a while, and then it will go with the current.

People say that the river lantern carries the wish of the person who put the lantern, and eventually it will float far away to send the wish to the gods.But most of the river lanterns on Taiping Lake can’t float to the gods, because the lake is wide and there are many river lanterns, most of them will sink after drifting along the water for a long distance, and will be salvaged by the yamen the next day.But what does it matter, just like the Kongming lantern will eventually fall, the person who puts the lantern only cares about the mood at that moment.

When Lu Yiqing and Shen Wangshu came to Taiping Lake, they saw lights already shining on the lake, and there were still people putting lights by the lake.

Looking up at the sky, I saw the full moon hanging high and the stars were hard to find, and I didn't know when the court fireworks would start.So Lu Yiqing thought about it, pointed to the river lantern on the lake and said to Shen Wangshu: "Ah Chen, let's go put a river lantern too?"

It is common for many people in Chang'an to come to Taiping Lake to release river lanterns during the Shangyuan Festival, but it is the first time for the two of them.They have been married for nearly eight years, but it is a pity that they were not in Chang'an for four years, and Lu Yiqing still suffered from amnesia for the remaining three years.Every time during the Lantern Festival, she just lost her memory. At that time, she was very wary of Shen Wangshu, so why would she want to go to the Lantern Festival to set off river lanterns?

So when Lu Yiqing mentioned it at this time, Shen Wangshu's heart was also moved, and he took the initiative to lead her to the roadside stall selling river lanterns.

Every Shangyuan, there are many small stalls selling river lanterns by the Taiping Lake.The two randomly found one that was pleasing to the eye, and Lu Yiqing bent over to pick up one and asked the stall owner, "How far can your river lantern float?"

The stall owner smiled when he heard the words, and replied: "My river lantern can send your wish to where it should go."

The words are sweet, but they are only meant to scare outsiders, because everyone in Chang'an knows that the final destination of these river lanterns is either at the bottom of the lake, or they are salvaged and discarded as garbage, and the romance in the picture is only for one night.As for where the so-called wish will be sent, and whether it will be realized in the end, how can mere mortals be able to decide?

Lu Yiqing felt that the stall owner was very cunning, and was about to put down the river lantern in his hand, but saw that Shen Wangshu had already knelt down to pick it.So her words changed immediately, and she asked Shen Wangshu with great interest: "Ah Chen, which one do you like?"

Shen Wangshu picked one at random, then held it up for Lu Yiqing to see: "Ah Qing, do you like this one?"

In fact, the river lanterns on the stalls by the lake are all similar in appearance, there is nothing to choose from, but looking at the lantern in Shen Wangshu's hand, Lu Yiqing still feels that this one is different.So she nodded without guilt, and then praised with a smile: "This river lantern is really good, Ah Chen's eyesight is always so good."

There are many tourists by the lakeside, and people who pass by the stall will cast a glance or two when they hear this by chance.After seeing the river lantern in the woman's hand, many people were disappointed and confused. Some people found out that the two young people were selling the lanterns, and they showed a clear smile.

Shen Wangshu was probably used to it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Yiqing's words, the corners of his lips under the veil slightly raised, and his beautiful eyes also turned into slightly curved arcs.Perhaps it was precisely because she was covered with a veil that her beautiful eyes were highlighted.The light and moonlight are reflected in those eyes, and the person in front of him is even more reflected.At this moment, a shallow smile also seems to contain thousands of charms, attracting people can't help but sink into it.

Lu Yiqing was stunned, and after regaining consciousness, he opened his eyes slightly, but the roots of his ears were already completely red in the bright and dark place.

Shen Wangshu didn't notice this, she chose the river lantern and said to the stall owner: "I wonder if there is a pen and ink here, can I borrow it?"

River lanterns are used to make wishes, so how could there be no pens and ink on the stalls selling river lanterns?As soon as the stall owner heard this, he knew that the river lantern was sold, so he happily handed over the pen and ink, and asked the two to write their wishes.

Shen Wangshu picked up the pen first, and she looked at Lu Yiqing beside her, and lowered her eyes to write four words: Years and Years.

Lu Yiqing naturally looked over at this time, the four characters took up half of He Deng's space, and Shen Wangshu didn't write the remaining half, but handed over the pen and ink together with He Deng.

Lu Yiqing who took over the river lantern only paused for a moment, then wrote four words on the other half of the river lantern with a smile: Always be with you.

The two who had finished writing their wish met each other, and only each other knew the tenderness in their eyes.Then they paid the money, bought the river lantern, and ran to the lake in high spirits.Until I put the river lantern into the water and watched it go away with the water, I gradually felt a little joy, a little satisfaction, and even a little hope.

Lu Yiqing said leisurely: "I finally understand why people in Chang'an know the fate of these river lanterns, but there are still so many people who will continue to buy lanterns and keep putting them on every Lantern Festival. The reason is probably because of this moment Get in the mood."

Shen Wangshu looked at the dots of lights on the lake, and suddenly asked: "Ah Qing, do you believe that wishes can be fulfilled?"

Lu Yiqing looked back at her, and there seemed to be starlight in his black eyes, full of tenderness: "I don't believe in river lanterns making wishes, but I believe that your and my wishes can come true."

****************************************************************************

After letting off the river lanterns, and walking along the river for a while, a cluster of fireworks finally broke through the darkness and exploded in the night sky.

Apparently quite a few people knew that there would be fireworks by Taiping Lake tonight. Once the fireworks exploded, the lively Taiping Lake became even more lively.Especially some young men and women, originally dating by the lake, also ran to the open space to watch the fireworks.

When there were too many people, it seemed crowded. Lu Yiqing managed to find a safe place to protect Shen Wangshu, but when he raised his head, he could only see half of the sky.Immediately she curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and complained: "If I knew there were so many people, I wouldn't have come." After speaking, he said to Shen Wangshu: "Next time I will ask someone to prepare the fireworks, and let's set them up to watch."

Seeing her unhappy face, Shen Wangshu couldn't help laughing, then took Lu Yiqing's hand and shook: "I came out to play, why is Ah Qing unhappy? It's just fireworks, it's not the first time I've seen you, but it's just Have fun during the festival."

This is true, and more importantly, Shen Wangshu is willing to coax her, and Lu Yiqing's original unhappiness immediately dissipated.

The fireworks above the head exploded non-stop, even if you can only see half of them, you can still see the exquisite splendor of the fireworks.After watching it for a while, Lu Yiqing understood that it would not be easy for him to spend his own money to buy as good-looking fireworks as this is the craftsmanship of a prisoner.So I didn't want to be picky anymore, so I hugged Shen Wangshu and watched together for a while, until the fireworks were gone and the noisy crowd returned to calm.

The people around him gradually left, and Lu Yiqing still hugged Shen Wangshu and did not let go, even resting his chin on the other's shoulder: "This year's fireworks are not bad, but unfortunately we couldn't find a good place, so we can only wait It's next year."

She was talking, but all the hot air was blowing out on Shen Wangshu's neck, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Shen Wangshu tilted his head slightly, then raised his shoulders, and Lu Yiqing raised his head knowingly.Then I heard Shen Wangshu say: "It's not like there are such fireworks every year in Shangyuan. Last year was also a troubled time, and now the high-ranking court is just a child. I thought the Shangyuan court this year would not There was some movement, but I didn't expect to have fireworks to join in the fun."

Lu Yiqing raised a finger and shook it when he heard the words, and then explained solemnly: "It is because the young emperor has ascended the throne now, and the court has no confidence, so we want to create this excitement, otherwise how can we appease the hearts of the people?"

Shen Wangshu thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "After staying in the court for these few months, Ah Qing has improved a lot."

Hearing the compliment, Lu Yiqing was elated as usual, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled, not as serious and calm as before.

While the two were talking, the people around them almost dispersed, and it felt like the song was over when the fireworks cleared.Fortunately, there was nothing to miss. The two of them saw that it was getting late, so they planned to turn around and go back. If there was any excitement on the way, the Lantern Festival would have passed.

The two who were just playing with lanterns did not expect that they met a few more acquaintances just after walking a few steps on the way back.

It was Shen Wangshu's acquaintance, not Lu Yiqing's. Shen Wangshu used to be a noble girl in Chang'an City, and she always had her own circle of noble girls when socializing.Except for Aning who met at the beginning, Shen Wangshu's relationship with other people can only be said to be casual, and this casual acquaintance was almost ruined after Shen Wangshu ruined his reputation and decided to marry a merchant.

If they met in Chang'an City before, these people would most likely pretend they hadn't seen them, otherwise they would speak with a bit of condescension.But now it is different, when these old friends saw the two of them again, they all took the initiative to greet them.

The greetings were polite, although there was no obvious fawning, but the people who had been expelled from the circle were obviously accepted by them again.

Several women made a group and exchanged pleasantries as if in a lively manner, but Shen Wangshu who was in it was not very interested.It was only because of the identities of these people and worried that his attitude would affect Lu Yiqing in the court that he dealt with them patiently.

Over there, Shen Wangshu was talking to someone, while Lu Yiqing was waiting impatiently. While he was bored, someone pulled his sleeves.There are many tourists in Shangyuan night, she subconsciously means that someone accidentally scratched it while passing by, and she didn't take it to heart.Unexpectedly, after a while, her sleeve was pulled again, and then she realized something was wrong, and looked back.

Turning around, he met a lovely and pitiful face, which was somewhat similar to Shen Wangshusheng.However, at this moment Lu Yiqing didn't have the slightest feeling of pity and pity, she subconsciously pulled back her sleeves and took two steps back, frowning and asking: "What are you doing?!"

The volume of this questioning was not low, even though it was noisy all around, it made everyone listen to it seriously.

The few people who were still talking were silent for a moment, and they all turned their heads to look. Shen Pingting who was pulling Lu Yiqing's sleeve was even more flustered.Originally she pretended to be three-point pitiful, but now she is seven-point real: "No, no, brother-in-law, I didn't do anything..."

Seeing this, Lu Yiqing didn't say anything, but the frown and displeasure on his face were obvious.

They all came from high-ranking families. These former noble girls, why haven't the present wives seen it before?At that moment, someone covered his lips and laughed lightly, and someone beside him interrupted lightly: "Master Lu, don't be annoyed, Pingting really didn't mean it. She just happened to something recently and saw you and Wang Shu in a panic. That’s why I want to ask you for help.”

Most of the nobles in Chang'an today know about the things about the Shen family and the Lu family.But now that the Shen family is in decline, and even Shen Pingting's husband's family is also sad about losing their backing, they said this somewhat in the sense of watching the excitement.

Lu Yiqing felt that it was more than that, but naturally she wouldn't say much in front of outsiders.Immediately nodding with a tense chin, he took it as knowing that he had exposed the matter, and he didn't want to keep Shen Wangshu, the daughter of the Shen family, here and suffer another trial and wronged.So he ended the topic in a few words, bid farewell to everyone, and left with Shen Wangshu.

Indistinctly, someone behind him sighed: "Shen Wangshu is really lucky. She married into a merchant's family in such a situation, and turned over in the end. I don't know whether to say that she is lucky or has a good vision... "

The subsequent words were all dissipated in the excitement of Shangyuan Ye, and the compliments from other people did not make Lu Yiqing happy.

She looked at the people around her worriedly, and hesitated to speak.

Shen Wangshu didn't care too much, he led Lu Yiqing along and said casually: "These people are used to flattering the high and trampling the low, they did it to me back then, and they do the same to Shen Pingting now, there is really no need to care."

Lu Yiqing felt distressed when he heard the words, and said, "Then just ignore them from now on."

This made Shen Wangshu smile, then she changed the subject, and finally asked: "How is the Shen family now?"

Lu Yiqing considered it for a while, and said bluntly: "It's not very good, and it's not too bad. Most of the official positions of the Shen family are noble, and it's not easy to get credit for this kind of position, and it's not easy to be convicted. Previously, King Xiang's treason was not pursued. When it comes to the Shen family, it's not good to bring up old stories now. So although the Shen family has been targeted, most of them just lost their views and resigned, at least their lives are safe."

This is an understatement, but how can it be so easy for a family to really take root in Chang'an officialdom?The ancestors of the Shen family didn't know how many generations of talents earned their current status, but the family property was ruined really quickly.

It's just that it has nothing to do with the two of them, all the choices are made by themselves, and the final result can only be borne by themselves.So Shen Wangshu didn't care when he heard that the Shen family's lives were safe.Only thinking of Shen Pingting before, Shen Wangshu felt a bit sour in his heart: "In today's matter, should I say that my concubine sister is impure, or that my husband is too attractive?"

Lu Yiqing immediately understood the meaning of Qiuhou's settlement, but she felt that she had been wronged, so she quickly raised her hand and said, "It's none of my business, and I didn't recruit people. I just need to recruit a wife who likes me."

Shen Wangshu pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, but unfortunately Lu Yiqing couldn't see it, she only saw her daughter-in-law turned around and left.

Lu Yiqing panicked all of a sudden, and chased after him in two or three steps, ignoring the public, and hugged him up.Shen Wangshu was taken aback by this, and when he realized it, he patted her on the shoulder twice: "What are you doing? Others are watching, let me down!"

However, Lu Yiqing refused, and instead hugged Shen Wangshu even tighter: "There are so many people here, what if I can't catch up with you if you run away? I think I'll carry you away, and we will go earlier Go back, so as not to meet any messy people again."

Shen Wangshu laughed, and patted her shoulder again: "Okay, this place is far away from home, how can you hug her?"

Lu Yiqing said stiffly: "Then I'll carry it when I can't hold it anymore."

Shen Wangshu finally couldn't bear it when he heard the words, and laughed on Lu Yiqing's shoulder.Lu Yiqing didn't care what she was laughing at, she just didn't want to stay outside anymore, and a good Shangyuan Ye would make people feel uneasy.

So it's better to go home, and it's not bad to go home and watch your wife live the Shangyuan.
