Chen Suqing and Chen Subing were secretly sad, and the room was also full of relatives. At this time, the Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly came, saying that she wanted to relieve their boredom, Chen Suqing didn't understand what she meant, so she asked what was the matter.

Baoxun Lady smiled: "Today is the Midyear Festival, although it is the day of ancestor worship, but the street is very lively, my mother-in-law asked me to take you to Yangzhou Street for a tour, don't want you to be bored here, keep you to relieve your sorrow." ”

When Chen Suqing heard this, she hesitated, although Yangzhou City was very prosperous, and she also had the heart to visit, but she was afraid of troublesome the people of the Cui family.

Especially Baoxun Niangzi, I also heard a few words from the Cui family today, and I also know that she has to take care of the business, and everything at home can't leave her on weekdays, she must be entangled in everything, but I am afraid that because of my own reasons, I will delay her business.

What's more, if the two sisters go to wander on the street, they are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so they want to refuse.

Baoxun Lady saw her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Today, Lord Zhizhou will also put river lanterns in the canal to pay tribute to the river gods and water ghosts, and the people in our Yangzhou City will also put river lanterns, it is said that this river lantern can not only pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, but also ....." She said this, she paused deliberately and smiled at the Chen sisters.

"What else?" Chen Subing heard this, and was really aroused by her, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Legend has it that if you write down what you want to say and put it in a river lamp, you can bring it to the deceased. Baoxun Niangzi's faint words touched the heartstrings of the two sisters, especially Chen Subing, who originally looked sad, but when she heard this, her eyes suddenly shone with shining brilliance.

Baoxun looked at her and smiled slightly: "It's not dark at this time, let's go to the canal, just in time to put the lights." ”

The Chen sisters were also moved by her, and the Baoxun lady invited her again and again, so she couldn't shirk it anymore, so she agreed to her invitation and went to the street with her.

When they got out into the street in a carriage, they could only hear the shouting and shouting on both sides, and the noise of the people coming and going. Although it was night, and the curtain hung on the car, you could still see the hazy lights cast into the car, and the smell of fireworks in the air also drifted away with the wind, bringing a hint of inexplicable depression to the sultry twilight.

The street was full of traffic, the Cui family's car stopped slightly at the corner of the street, Chen Subing couldn't bear it, picked up the curtain and looked out, only to see a high stage on the street corner, a troupe was singing about the miscellaneous people and saving the mother, the stage was beating gongs and drums, and the audience was also very lively, men, women and children were frolicking around, and the peddlers and pawns came and went.

Chen Subing lay on the side of the car window and watched the play from a distance for a while, although it was far away, neither could see nor hear clearly, but Chen Subing still watched it with relish for a long time. Baoxun Lady also tilted her body and looked at it for a while, and said to Chen Subing: "This play is good, do you want to go down and watch it?"

When Chen Subing heard this, he reluctantly retracted his gaze, lowered the car curtain, and shook his head. Bao Xun Lady smiled: "It's okay, it's also weird there, be careful to squeeze you, let's go to the canal, it's more fun there." ”

So everyone took the carriage again, and drove to the canal, the more they went to the canal, the slower the car was, Chen Suqing looked out from the crack of the curtain, and saw that there were fragrant cars and BMWs on both sides, and they were piled up in the direction of the canal.

This journey is not long, but because the carriage is slow, it took a while to arrive, at this time Chen Subing was already crooked on Baoqi, and she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, it was the time of drowsiness, and she was physically and mentally exhausted for several days, so it was not easy to settle down a little, so although she sat in the car, she couldn't stop napping.

The carriage finally approached the canal, Baoqi woke up Chen Subing, the two sisters put on a light veil, and got down from the car, and the Baoxun lady asked the maid to take out the river lantern that had been prepared from the car, and the two sisters each held one and followed the Baoxun lady to the river.

When the two came to the river with Luo skirts, they looked along the river, only to see a river lantern floating on the river, on both sides of the river, men, women and children were holding lamps in their hands, and for a while the candlelight and light and shadow reflected each other, illuminating a canal like a Milky Way, and could not distinguish between heaven and earth, whether it was a dream or a reality.

Sister Chen Suqing has never seen such a scene, and now that she has seen it, she can't help but feel a little admiration in her heart, but when she thinks that every river lantern is a dead soul and a wisp of mourning, she can't help but feel a huge sadness in her heart.

Baoxun Lady looked at the river and said, "It's too late now, those officials are gone, there are fewer people, you see that the lights are drifting far away." ”

Bao Qi also looked at the canal blankly, and sighed: "After so many years, this place is still the same as in my impression." ”

Chen Suqing looked a little sad when she saw her, so she went up to ask, Baoqi shook her head and said, "It's not in the way, the girls should quickly put the lights on, it's better not to be outside for a long time this night." ”

The two Chen Suqing sisters learned from the people next to them, held the lamp and made a wish, squatted by the river and put it down, and then watched the lamp drift farther and farther.

Chen Subing saw that Baoxun Lady was just standing aside, and asked, "Lady, why don't you put the lamp on?

Baoxun Niangzi stared at the river, thoughtful, and said: "The dead people can't remember clearly, but the people who remember are still there." ”

When Chen Subing heard this, he smiled knowingly: "I understand, you must be thinking of Cui Gongzi." ”

Baoxun Lady was stunned when she heard this, but she lowered her eyes slightly, smiled and said nothing.

Chen Suqing listened to the conversation between the two of them, did not answer, and felt a little melancholy in her heart, she was worried about her family in Huizhou, and also thought about Shen Jue, the distance between the two places was already boiling, and in addition to the worry of unknown life and death, she often fell into sorrow involuntarily.

Chen Suqing sighed and looked around, only to see that the people who came to put the lanterns by the canal had different identities, in addition to the young people who came to put the lights on the elders, there were also old husbands and wives who helped each other to pay tribute to their children, and there were also young widowed women who came to put them on their deceased husbands, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, all kinds of people.

The night was shrouded, and the expressions of these people could not be seen clearly, only by the lamplight, they put down the river lamps one by one by the river, and occasionally there were some crying, but most of them calmly let their sorrows drift away with the river lanterns, and this figure stood by the river, constituting a very solemn and solemn picture.

Sister Chen Suqing stared at the river lantern until she was really out of sight, and then reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Chen Suqing looked at the illuminated river, sighed and said: "The river flows into the sea, the soul returns to the sky, the road is like this, and it is not human." ”
