Jiang Cheng, the patriarch of the magic road - She Liu

In the blink of an eye, it has been the 23rd year of Xuanzheng, and Jiang Yanli is beautifully married to Jin Lintai.Jiang Wanyin is only the eldest sister, now married and married, Wei Wuxian has already left, thinking that the huge Lianhuawu is deserted and alone, he can't help but feel disappointed and drink again and again.When he was half drunk, he was dragged off the Jinlin Terrace and wandered around Lanling City to get rid of the alcohol.

As Shangsi is approaching, Lanling City gradually has a festive atmosphere, and the lights are also turned on.Men and women, old and young, hang out in the market, selling jewelry, snacks, calligraphy and painting, and there are endless calls.Lanterns, jugglers, storytellers lined up along the street, reflecting the clusters of fireworks, a scene of prosperity.

Passing by a food stall, Ouyang Zihua took out some copper plates and said:

"Here are two bunches of candied haws."

"I won't eat!" Jiang Wanyin froze for a moment.

"Did you say it was for you to eat? Am I not worthy of two skewers?"

"……you!"

In the end, Sect Master Xiao Jiang was still half-coaxed and half-coaxed to eat one angrily. The hawthorn was round and covered with crystal rock sugar, like pigeon blood red inlaid on the crown, plump, sweet and sour.He thought it tasted very good, but he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to eat another one, so he had to give up.

Before Shangsi arrived, it was to celebrate the wedding of the young master of Jinlin Terrace. At about the right time, fireworks lit up over Lanling City, all of which were peony patterns, blue, purple, pink and gold, and fell rustlingly, like fire trees and silver rain, reflecting the sky. The city is like a golden armor.

Jiang Wanyin was raised as a patriarch since she was a child, and she was not allowed to go out like ordinary children even during the Lantern Festival. She just watched Yunmeng's fireworks from afar from the square sky on the Lianhuawu school grounds, and usually only got a glimpse of it from the poems and books. "Dongfeng puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, blows them down, and stars are like rain".This was the first time he traveled recklessly, and his head was covered by the smell of alcohol, so he muttered to himself amidst the brilliant fireworks:

"Hundred silk lamps are held in the air, and the goddess' new makeup is colorful."

Amidst the sound of fireworks blooming, he heard Ouyang Zihua say:

"It's really like cutting dragons and wielding a long sword, and a madman blowing flute across the Dongting."

So there seemed to be a breath of relief in his chest, as if everything that had been stuck in his heart for the past 19 years had been blown away by the wind, and it was like the little joy when Li Yi'an and Zhao Mingcheng gambled on books and drank tea.He slightly turned his head to look at Ouyang Zihua, the latter's eyes were lingering on the bustling sky, smiling endlessly, but there seemed to be sadness in his twinkling eyes, and he said as if to himself:

"Mother and Third Sister are in the sky, so they should see it better than us."

Mrs. Ouyang gave birth to the third lady Ouyang Zili and passed away a few years later, so Ouyang family loved this third lady very much. Unfortunately, the third lady Ouyang died before she had time to shoot the sun. inside.Jiang Wanyin remained silent, and also looked up at the continuous fireworks, before speaking resolutely after a while:

"Yes. I can see it. Mom and Dad can too. Now everything is fine, and my elder sister is married." After a pause, he hesitated for the first time and called Miss Ouyang's name:

"Zihua, tell me, sister will have a good time, right?"

"Yes. She really likes Mr. Jin, and she will have a good life."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyin showed the innocent expression that a young man should have, bit his lip, and nodded heavily "Yes".Ouyang Zihua turned his head, looked at his fair-skinned face in the flickering fireworks for a while, and suddenly smiled and said:

"Why, Sect Master Xiao Jiang also wants to get married?"

This was the only time she called him "Sect Master Xiao Jiang", but it was a little teasing - it meant that he was still so young.

Where did Jiang Cheng hear this before, especially when it was said by a girl, his almond eyes widened, his fair face flushed red, and he opened his mouth to argue, but someone pulled his sleeve violently, and his whole body was in a state of panic. He staggered forward a few steps, and ran after Ouyang Zihua.

"Come on! Take you to a place!"

After running for almost a stick of incense, the two stopped. Jiang Wanyin panted slightly and looked at the plaque with red background and gold in front of him. His face burned even more. Shocked, ashamed and angry, he clenched his fists and finally I couldn't help but yelled:

"Ouyang Zihua! You!"

Why did you bring me to the brothel!

He didn't say it in the second half, Xiao Jiang's suzerain is an upright gentleman like Lan, how can he say the word "brothel"?

Ouyang Zihua supported his waist and bent slightly, looked at Jiang Wanyin, tried to catch his breath while laughing, and said:

"Haha, no, I didn't let you enter the brothel, I just, just rest here for a while, hahahahaha, let's go, keep going, hurry up."

She stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Wanyin, but Jiang Wanyin dodged like an enemy, and said in a panic:

"I won't go! I won't go into...that, its roof! You, how can you act so frivolously!"

"Hahahahahahahaha don't go to the roof! Don't touch this brothel with a single finger! Second Miss Jiang!" Miss Ouyang laughed, and seeing that he was still standing still like a chaste woman, she had to say: "I really don't want to leave ? Then I can go." After saying that, he walked forward.Jiang Wanyin saw that she really didn't intend to enter the brothel, and the prosperity was fading away further, it didn't seem like a luxurious land, so she hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Walking more than a hundred steps east from the brothel, you can hear the sound of water across the flowers, like rings hitting each other, and it's made by Lingling.Although it is not far from the busy city, it has a feeling of seclusion from the world.The trail gets narrower and narrower, but the aroma is getting stronger, and a few camellias can be vaguely seen in the flying fireflies.Jiang Wanyin suddenly wanted to hold the hand of the person next to him, but he was thin-skinned, and he curled and stretched his fingers, but he didn't dare, but Ouyang Zihua, who seemed to be able to understand what was going on in his heart, turned his back to him, Unmistakably held his hand.

Jiang Wanyin froze for a moment from his fingertips to his back, but only for a moment, he returned to his natural state, holding back the fingers that were slender than his, and she pulled her into the depths of the flowers.

Magnolia magnolia and Heling camellia are planted here, red, red, white and white, and the fragrance mist floats. At the end of the flowers is a clear and shallow stream, and the stream reflects the moon with a cool light like crushed ice.Amidst the flickering water, Jiang Wanyin suddenly noticed a hazy pressed hair in Ouyang Zihua's hair like a cloud.The pressed hair was carved from a whole piece of white jade, with a pattern of clusters of jasmine flowers, followed by two strands of vine-colored tassels. The quality of the jade is exquisite, and it was the jewelry that Jiang Wanyin personally chose as a dowry for Jiang Yanli.He touched the piece of jade with his hand, and said doubtfully:

"Why is this thing with you?"

Ouyang Zihua pulled him to sit down by the stream, pressed the hair on the back of his head, and said:

"Sister... Mrs. Xiaojin gave it to me. She said it matched my complexion."

The lingering aroma of magnolia and camellia flows into the stream, accompanied by a few lotus river lanterns floating from upstream, like stars falling on a long river, every little bit is like a dream.Ouyang Zihua slowly stroked the outline of Jasmine in her hair and said:

"You don't like Jasmine?"

"..." Jiang Wanyin smiled helplessly, "You know I like to comb my hair with jasmine water."

So Ms. Ouyang also smiled: "Yes, I know all about it." She pulled her hair up in a bun, as if talking to herself, or asking Jiang Wanyin:

"Do you feel that there is no such thing as a supportive step shaker?"

"Ah."

"Did you just buy it on the street?"

"……Um."

"Hiding in the sleeve?"

"..."

Jiang Wanyin had no choice but to take out a gold inlaid jade bud with jasmine flowers from her sleeve.The body of the hairpin was made of red gold, but the head of the hairpin was carved with jadeite to form a few small jasmine flowers. The gold threads came out from the body of the hairpin to form flowers and leaves, and to the end, a drop of water hung down to make a fringe, which is rare. Sophisticated and luxurious.

"Not for me?"

Jiang Wanyin passed Bu Yao over as she said, and after thinking about it, she compared it with her well-combed Chaoyun Jinxiang bun, and picked the most suitable position to put it on neatly.

The waves of the Changxi swayed lightly, and the night fog also dissipated, and the songs and laughter of the world in the distance were faintly discernible. They just sat quietly and watched the lotus lanterns float by one after another. The night wind blows the fragrance of flowers. Tired, and finally said in unison:

"In another year I'll be crowned—"

"Wait for you to be crowned—"

So they looked at each other and smiled again, as if something was locked in silence.That year when Lanling parted, Zihua squeezed his fingers in a place where no one was around, and told him:

"Jiang Wanyin, you are very good. You don't have to be afraid of others, and you don't have to take the words of insignificant people to heart. You are the only one who is as good as this. Remember?"

The chariots and horses of the various aristocratic families and sects rattled and raised light golden dust. Zihua looked at the fairy bun, and the gold-encrusted emerald walking stick was inserted solemnly in it. Pearl, softly said:

"it is good."
