In the early morning, everything is silent, the sun slowly rises from the horizon, the sky and the earth add a trace of light, and the fragrance of osmanthus in the city lord's mansion is refreshing. A new day begins.

Xingrou saw that there were colorful lanterns hanging in the house today, and all kinds of small lanterns, although it was early in the morning, they looked extraordinarily warm. Then he asked the little girl next to him: "It's so lively, but there is a happy event?"

"Miss, today is the annual Lantern Festival, Yunyuan City is full of lights, and there are business travelers from all directions, there are countless strange people, it is very lively!" the girl said happily.

"Is there a lantern festival in Yunyuan City?" Xing Rou's voice lowered, and her eyes were a little hollow.

"There was no before, it was from the succession of the city lord three years ago, every time this festival, the city lord would go to Yuncui Mountain, not letting anyone follow, I heard that it was to see an old man. The girl said very seriously and quietly

As he was talking, he saw Leng Yue coming from the porch, changing her outfit, a wide-sleeved suit with white streamers, a silver pearl crown, and a folding fan in her hand, and walked slowly.

"Miss Xingrou, since you have been recuperating from your injuries, I haven't taken you out for a walk, today is the Lantern Festival, I ordered two girls with quick hands and feet, take you out, get acquainted with it, and have the right to scatter your mind, what do you think?" Leng Yue asked with a slight smile on her face, waving the folding fan in her hand.

"Isn't my brother with me?" Xingrou looked up, her dark eyes facing Leng Yue

Leng Yue looked at this look, and for a while she had a sense of pity and pity, and she couldn't refuse, and thought that she was going to see Xinghai, so she replied: "Miss Xingrou, I'm going to see an old man at noon, the Lantern Festival, naturally the night is more charming, let the girls take you to familiarize yourself with this Yunyuan City today, you can also buy some necessities, after dusk, I'll look for you again, how about it?"

When Xing Rou heard that Leng Yue was going to Yuncui Mountain, she couldn't tell the old man that she was right in front of her, and she couldn't stop it, so she said, "Then there is Brother Lao."

With that, Leng Yue left.

The girls got ready and went out with Xingrou.

Inside Yunyuan City

The city is full of lanterns, jugglers, storytellers, excerpts, clay figures, candy sellers, and people gather everywhere, and it is very lively.

The girls chattered and talked all the way, but Xingrou ignored it and didn't say anything.

"Miss, before leaving, the city lord ordered me to take you to pick out a few clothes. Now that the weather is cold, although there are some styles prepared in the house, I am afraid that you will not like it, so let you choose by yourself. A girl ran over and said to Xingrou

Xingrou nodded, Leng Yue was not there, she always felt empty, not a taste, after all, the person Leng Yue wanted to see was right in front of her.

Girls, you pushed me and shouted, talking and laughing and came to a silk village, the boss saw the auspicious cloud-style clothes worn by Xingrou, and knew that it was a person from the city lord's mansion, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and bowed his head: "There is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, the girl can choose at will, and if you like it, tell me that it is." ”

"The shopkeeper is polite, I like a plain style, can you?" Xingrou said in a low voice.

As soon as Xingrou's voice fell, the shopkeeper was like flying, and more than a dozen kinds of clothes arrived in front of him, all of which were different in color and dazzling.

Xingrou chose a light blue wide-sleeved skirt and changed it on her body, fresh and refined, generous, and the shopkeeper praised her again and again, it is really a rare beauty.

The attentive little girls also chose a few light-colored long dresses and capes. muttered in a low voice: "Miss really looks good in everything, like a fairy"

Stop-and-go, turn and buy, the girls wrapped up a lot of things, and unconsciously bought a lot of things, and when the sun was about to set, they went home.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Xingrou asked the girls to rest, sat on the stone bench in the small garden, and recalled that three years ago, the day of their first acquaintance, was also the Lantern Festival. Leng Yue was dressed in a dark robe, the fire, the scene of saving people, all in front of him. "Flower cake!" Xingrou said suddenly.

Yes, yes, Xingrou patted her head, three years ago, Leng Yue was poisoned and recovered, and after waking up, the first bite of food she ate was a flower cake. I made it myself, so how could I be missing it today. Xingrou thought to herself, now that she can't tell Leng Yue, Xinghai was reborn and became Xingrou, even if she can say it, it sounds ridiculous, and she hasn't been able to accept it completely, let alone Leng Yue, forget it. In the past, there was no trace of water, living in the city lord's mansion as Xingrou, seeing each other every day, it was already God's favor, but he was pitiful of Leng Yue, three years, and he had not let go.

If Leng Yue is allowed to regain those familiar flavors and scenes, he may think that there is not only Xinghai in this world, but also others to him... After much thought, he hurried to the kitchen.

Flower cake is made of osmanthus petals, flour, and milk, the material is extremely simple, but the person who makes the cake must be serious, the process can not be wrong, and the time and heat are almost not good. Xingrou imagined in her heart that Leng Yue would eat the flower cake, and in her joy, she started to make it.

As the night deepened, and the flower cake was finished, I carefully took two pieces, wrapped them in handkerchiefs, and sat in the garden, thoughtfully. I don't know when, Leng Yue has returned, and behind her, she put on a cloak with a white auspicious cloud pattern, and said, "It's cold at night, why are you sitting here?"

"My brother has returned, and when I saw that you had not returned, I sat here and waited. ”

"Miss Xingrou, I've kept you waiting for a long time, let's go, I'll take you to the river lantern" Leng Yue's voice was very soft, and she took Xingrou out with her.

At this time, the night has arrived, everyone has dispersed, the night sky is inky like washing, and a few wisps of stars are dotted in between. The originally bustling streets are also much quieter.

Leng Yue walked to the river with Xingrou. Listening to this hard-won comfort, calm and peaceful. I bought two river lanterns and said to Xingrou, "Miss Xingrou, you can write a wish on the river lantern, I heard that making a wish at the Lantern Festival is very spiritual." ”

Xingrou picked up the lamp with a smile, turned her back to Leng Yue, and wrote on the river lamp, "May Leng Yue be safe and happy in this life, and everything will be as she wishes." ”

Then he turned his head, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Brother, what wish did you make?"

Leng Yue hesitated: "If you say it, it won't work!"

The two of them put the river lantern and sat on the bank of the river, Xingrou said: "Thank you, you are so kind to me, I can't repay it, in order to express my gratitude, before I came, I made this flower cake, you can taste it." With that, he took out a flower cake wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Leng Yue.

Leng Yue took it, tasted it, and instantly opened her eyes, this familiar taste, is ......
