On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the spring is cold and the sun is warm.Even before the Lantern Market, the shops on Yongxing Street had already hung their front doors, lanterns were hung under the eaves, and all kinds of lantern holders were placed on the door lintels.I don’t think it’s a good thing to see during the day, but at night, the alleys are empty with thousands of people, the lanterns and lanterns are all lit up, the fire trees and silver flowers, and the banners are linked together. It can be called a grand scene in Beijing.

When the people are celebrating, it is also a time when the defense of the capital is urgent.The iron cavalry battalion was very busy for the Lantern Festival. Although there was no need for General Gu to do anything, it was still necessary to show his face.Gu Fuzhou struggled to get up early in the morning, and went to the barracks after the meal.Lin Qingyu didn't need to enter the palace today, and he didn't plan to go to the Imperial Medical Office, so he was stealing half a day's leisure.

At noon, Hualu served Lin Qingyu for lunch.She filled a bowl of milky white fish soup and handed it to Lin Qingyu, and asked expectantly, "Master, are you going to the lantern festival tonight?"

Lin Qingyu has always liked tranquility, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is crowded with people. He grew up in the capital since he was a child, and the number of times he went to see it can be counted on the fingers.As an adult, I have never been there once. "You want to go?"

Hua Lu nodded excitedly: "The last time I went to the Lantern Festival was several years ago. I still remember that there were many people at the Lantern Festival, and the Jinshui River was full of lotus lanterns. Later, I was sent to the Nan'an Hou Mansion to serve the young master. I haven't been there either..." Hua Lu realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly closed her mouth.

Lin Qingyu took a sip of the fish soup and said, "Then think about it carefully, what clothes to wear tonight."

Hua Lu's eyes brightened: "Will the young master take me there?"

"Yeah." Lin Qingyu looked at the happy girl, "Hurry up and get ready."

Gu Fuzhou asked a lot about the customs of the Lantern Festival, and he presumably wanted to go to Yongxing Street to join in the fun.Knowing that Gu Fuzhou likes to be handsome, he specially ordered his servants to iron some newly-cut fine clothes for him to choose from.

Gu Fuzhou didn't return to the residence until dusk.When Lin Qingyu heard the news, he saw him paralyzed on the bed, like a dried and dehydrated salted fish.

Lin Qingyu is very familiar with his state: "Tired?"

Gu Fuzhou said weakly: "Water, water..."

Knowing that this person was putting on a show, Lin Qingyu still poured a cup of tea for Gu Fuzhou and handed it to his mouth.Gu Fuzhou drank the tea and said, "Can you believe that I haven't fished all day today?"

"Why don't you touch it?"

"The defense of the capital city is full of loopholes. I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't help but point out a few words, and then I was pestered by the people of Marquis Wu." Gu Fuzhou regretted the past, "I could have come back to have lunch with you."

Lin Qingyu said: "Look at you, you don't have the energy to go to the Lantern Festival."

Gu Fuzhou was still very interested in Dayu's lantern festival, but he knew that Lin Qingyu didn't like lively places, so he said, "Yes, there are a lot of people outside, so going out for a walk would be exhausting. I can lie on the bed and imagine myself Went out and watched the Lantern Festival."

"Okay, then you think at home, I will take Huantong and Hualu to watch the lantern."

"Huh?" Gu Fuzhou propped up his body with one hand, "Are you going?"

Lin Qingyu said: "I promised that Hualu would take her there."

Gu Fuzhou said "Oh" slowly: "Then I will be with you."

Lin Qingyu raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you tired?"

Gu Fuzhou sighed: "There is no way, Madam wants to go shopping, no matter how tired she is, she must accompany her, and she must be willing to accompany her."

When it was almost time, the two changed their clothes one after another.Lin Qingyu's long hair was tied up with a jade crown, and he was dressed in white, with a hooded snow cape on top.Seeing that Gu Fuzhou was wearing a neat tunic, which was still a warrior's attire, he couldn't help asking: "Don't you like wearing red?"

When Gu Fuzhou was Lu Wancheng, he preferred brocade clothes.Lu Wancheng has a luxurious temperament, which is most suitable for fiery red.Now he has a dark complexion, and when he is not smiling, his brows and eyes are sharper, and his face is stern.

Gu Fuzhou smiled and said: "Lu Wancheng is young, and looks good in red. Red is delicate, how old am I now. The most important thing is to dress for yourself." As he spoke, he recalled the past again, "It's still me If you have a good body, you won’t look ugly in anything you wear.”

Lin Qingyu gave a cold snort of disdain.Gu Fuzhou thought he didn't believe it, and said: "It's true, you can give me a rag."

"I've seen you." Lin Qingyu deliberately said in order to avenge Gu Fuzhou's concealment, "I can only say that your original body is not the type I like."

Gu Fuzhou wasn't fooled: "Oh, who said in the dream that I'm prettier than Lu Wancheng?"

Lin Qingyu's tone was light: "You said it yourself."

The two came out of the house with Huantong and Hua.It was only halfway through the night, and the market was already buzzing with people.Walking on the street included ordinary people, high-ranking dignitaries, men and women, old and young, women and children, and even many foreigners.When the sky is completely dark, all the lights are on, and the brilliant lanterns cast a blush on the faces of tourists, saving the girl's rouge money.

Several people walked all the way.Huantong and Hualu are both lively and lively along the street selling countless stalls. After walking for half an hour, their stomachs are full of snacks.

Huantong was eating happily, and suddenly pointed to the sky and said: "Master, general, look!"

I saw hundreds of Kongming lanterns slowly rising from the direction of Changsheng Temple, lighting up the night sky.Hua Lu looked up, with the lights in the sky reflected in her eyes: "It's so beautiful..."

Gu Fuzhou said: "Looking here, I always feel that something is missing. Qingyu, where is the best place in the capital to appreciate the moon?"

Lin Qingyu thought for a while and said, "It should be above the palace tower."

The palace tower can only go up from the palace, so Gu Fuzhou had no choice but to give up.At this time they were not far from the imperial palace, Gu Fuzhou was much taller than most of the people on the street, looking across the sea of ​​people, he saw a person above the tower standing alone in the wind, the four-claw python robe on his body was blown vividly.

On the Lantern Festival, thousands of houses are lit up, what is this person thinking.

Gu Fuzhou withdrew his gaze, suddenly felt that something hit him, looked down, and saw that it was a little girl carrying a flower basket.Gu Fuzhou has a strong body, the little girl almost bounced back when she bumped into it like this, but fortunately Gu Fuzhou quickly supported her.

The flower basket fell to the ground, and the flowers were trampled by the tourists. The little girl's mouth was flattened, as if she was about to cry.Lin Qingyu signaled Hualu to coax the child, but Gu Fuzhou squatted down, smiled, and coaxed the little girl well in a few words.When the little girl burst into tears, her mother just happened to come over.It turned out that the mother and daughter came to the street to sell flowers.

Gu Fuzhou bought all the flowers from the little girl's mother, turned around and said, "Qing Yu, I'll give it to you."

Before Lin Qingyu could react, a large bouquet of flowers was stuffed into his arms: "Why did you send me flowers?"

The flowers are blooming like a brocade, gorgeous and colorful, and the beauty is more beautiful than the flowers.

Gu Fuzhou looked at Lin Qingyu, his eyes sparkled: "There is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River, let's talk about giving a sprig of spring—hey, fortunately, I have memorized a lot of poems, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take your words."

Lin Qingyu lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of flowers: "You don't have to do this, you can speak whatever you are used to, and I can understand you in your native dialect."

"Oh, then I sent you flowers because..."

At this time, parade lantern cars came slowly, almost filling up the whole street.The woman in the car with a light veil covering her face is dancing, and her clothes are fragrant, attracting countless tourists to stop and watch.But in the blink of an eye, the four of them were dispersed by the flow of people, Lin Qingyu and Huantong were together, and the other two went nowhere.

Lin Qingyu was not worried, Gu Fuzhou was tall, so it was not difficult to find him.Even if you can't find it, just go back to the carriage and wait.

It was inconvenient to hold this large bouquet of flowers, so Lin Qingyu handed the flowers to Huantong and asked him to carry them to the carriage first.After Huantong left, he walked through the crowd alone, looking for people while admiring the lanterns.

The lanterns were still there, with clear lights everywhere, and it was exactly the same scenery as before, but Lin Qingyu saw it dull.It didn't take long, but he didn't reward the lanterns, but only looked for people.However, there were too many tourists, bustling and bustling, one face after another passed by his eyes, none of them were the one he wanted.

Lin Qingyu felt a little anxious for no reason, and was thinking about whether to go back to the carriage and wait, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Qing Yu."

Lin Qingyu followed the prestige, and saw Gu Fuzhou looking towards him by the Jinshui River, under the fire tree.

The eyes are bright, and there are thousands of emotions in them.

This man... likes him.

——Gu Fuzhou likes him.

Lin Qingyu's chest burned up, and his heart beat like a drum.He doesn't have heart palpitations, his heart beats so fast, only because of one person.

He stepped out uncontrollably, passing through the crowded crowd, and he was about to reach that person, but there was another push behind him, which made his footsteps unsteady——

In this way, he came to Gu Fuzhou's arms.

Gu Fuzhou held his waist weakly, and said with a smile: "Doctor Lin, why are you running?"

Lin Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't even realize that he was running here.

Lin Qingyu couldn't help but bent his lips and smiled: "To see you, of course I have to run."

Gu Fuzhou was taken aback for a moment, he stopped hesitating and grabbed the waist of the person in his arms.

Hualu's voice came at this moment: "General, have you found the young master?"

"I found it." Gu Fuzhou let go of Lin Qingyu, and said with his usual expression, "Where's Huantong?"

Lin Qingyu said: "I let him go back to the carriage first."

Gu Fuzhou asked Hualu to go back and talk to Huantong so that he wouldn't have to wait anxiously.Once Hualu left, only the two of them were left.

The two looked at each other for a while, both seemed a little embarrassed.In the end, it was Gu Fuzhou who spoke first: "Qingyu, do you want to go for a walk by the river?"

Lin Qingyu nodded: "Okay."

The bright moon hangs high, there are countless boats and boats on the river, and the lotus lanterns embellish the water surface like a galaxy.Gu Fuzhou usually talked so much, but now he was silent. Lin Qingyu walked beside him, and he didn't know what to say.

Obviously when they went out, their conversations were very natural, but now they are awkward.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Fuzhou coughed and said, "The moon is shining brightly, and the people are so bright..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Qingyu stopped in his tracks.

"Shu Yao is so tactful, so troublesome..." Gu Fuzhou paused, his expression changed, "Eh, what's next."

Fuck, he forgot the words.

The festive lanterns are like daytime, the sound of phoenix flute is moving, the crowd is surging, full of laughter.Lin Qingyu looked at him quietly, her long eyelashes couldn't cover the sparkling water in her eyes, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be a ghost.

Gu Fuzhou looked at Lin Qingyu for a long time, lowered his eyes and chuckled lightly, as if he was laughing at himself, but also seemed to relieve his tension: "I'm sorry, Qingyu, "The Book of Songs" is too difficult to memorize, I only memorized a few lessons after one class. I have forgotten a lot of poems now. Can I change a poem? Hmm... Mountains have trees, trees have branches..."

"I like you too." Lin Qingyu used the words of Gu Fuzhou's hometown, "Do you want to date me?"
