Song Yanzhu happily pounced on him and said, "Sister Nine, why are you here!" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid that you'll forget me!" Zhao Jiuqing stepped forward and scratched Song Yanzhu's nose. Song Yanzhu couldn't hide, hugged her arm and confessed: "My sister's wedding is approaching, where do I dare to disturb!" ”

"You remember my wedding is approaching!" Zhao Jiuqing feigned anger, raised his hand and was about to tickle Song Yanzhu, Song Yanzhu hurriedly told him to forgive, Zhao Jiuqing stopped and said: "I heard that there is a lantern festival on the west bank of the river, it is very lively, I want you to accompany me to take a look, do you want to go!" ”

"My sister speaks, how can there be any reason!" Song Yanzhu responded with a smile. Seeing that it was getting dark, Song Yanzhu deliberately left Zhao Jiuqing for dinner, and the two talked about making trouble, so comfortable. During the banquet, Song Yanzhu tentatively asked Zhao Rong two sentences, and Zhao Jiuqing replied nonchalantly: "What else can he do, he reads and writes all day long, and he hates to break one person into two people." At this moment, if there are red sleeves to add fragrance, it must be like a tiger with wings. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Song Yanzhu meaningfully, and Song Yanzhu hurriedly diverted the topic.

When it gets dark, the two of them will come to the west bank by carriage, because it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the upper floors of the street in Jianzhou City are full of lights, and the lamp market is also crowded, very lively. The west bank is full of people, men and women are carrying all kinds of lanterns in their hands, Zhao Jiuqing pulled Song Yanzhu to look all the way, lotus lanterns, hibiscus lamps not to mention, there are daughter-in-law lamps, monk lamps, giant bearded catfish lamp fish, the shape is exquisite, vivid, dazzling, praise.

On the way, he met a woman throwing a hydrangea to recruit relatives, Song Yanzhu stopped and looked at it for a while, the hydrangea was thrown into her arms impartially, everyone laughed, Zhao Jiuqing hugged Song Yanzhu and said: "Presumably you are about to have such an opportunity!" ”

"Isn't it my sister who is about to have a good thing?" Song Yanzhu said with a smile. Zhao Jiuqing smiled noncommittally, stood on tiptoe and said, "It's so lively ahead, let's hurry up and take a look!" ”

As she spoke, the soles of her feet walked forward as fast as oil, Song Yanzhu hurried all the way, and finally caught up with her, she turned a corner and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

"Ninth Sister!" Song Yanzhu was dumbfounded, seeing that there was no one around, she was shocked in her heart, and shouted Zhao Jiuqing twice, only to hear the soft response inside, "I'm here, come quickly!" ”

She was relieved to go inside, and after walking less than ten steps, her steps gradually slowed down: the bamboo forest that she thought would be black was now brightly lit, and every tree was hung with red and fiery lanterns, and the tassels under the lanterns were decorated with light bells, which swayed with the wind and made a crisp and pleasant ringtone. The bamboo shadow is mottled, and the lights are red and shadowy, which is actually beautiful.

There was a red carpet on the ground, stretching all the way to the depths of the bamboo forest, but Zhao Jiuqing was gone.

Walking along the red carpet, until you reach the end, you will see a large open space. There is a one-person-high circular marquee lamp in the open space, the light screen is swirling, things are changing, and the past scenes are all presented - it is her smiling, or men's clothes are sassy, or charming and coquettish, or looking back, or stopping to look away.

She stood stunned, only listening to the jingling of wind chimes, and she didn't know what to do.

Suddenly a pair of hands stretched out behind her and patted her lightly on the shoulder, she was startled, and when she looked back, she saw Zhao Rong standing in front of her with a smile on his face.

"Is it pretty?" Zhao Rong said triumphantly.

"This ...... Did you do it? Song Yanzhu asked in surprise.

"Naturally, it's me, is there anyone else?" Zhao Rong smiled, pointed to the marquee and said, "It took me a lot of effort!" Do you like it? ”

"I like it." I really like it.

She couldn't help but get closer, stretched out her hand to touch the lantern, Zhao Rong grabbed her hand and stretched forward: "This lamp is silk inside, and paper is outside, it won't break if you touch it!" ”

His palm was a little rough, holding Song Yanzhu's hand, thick and warm. Song Yanzhu was stunned, he had already held her hand and touched it, the marquee stopped, the heat in the lamp came out, and the hot person couldn't help but retract his hand, and received half of it, but Zhao Rong held her, and whispered behind her: "Second sister, I guess you have also heard your mother talk about it......"

"Where is Sister Nine, how can she talk and disappear!" Song Yanzhu hurriedly interrupted his words and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he straightened her up, and was about to speak, when he didn't know who set off the fireworks on the other side of the river, only to hear a bang, a bunch of fireworks exploded in the air, and in an instant, it was full of brilliance, as if it was a sword of brilliant gems dotted in the night sky. After disappearing in an instant, another cluster of fireworks flew into the sky and burst into the sky.

"Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep......" Zhao Rong muttered secretly, turned his head sideways, and saw Song Yanzhu holding his head slightly high, revealing his smooth chin. Her side is beautiful, the night is not shining, the lights are dim, the light and shadow of the marquee are sprinkled on her face, and the fireworks are flickering and flickering.

She is clearly close at hand, but far away.

Zhao Rong suddenly felt a little powerless, and this sudden fireworks seemed to show the end of his love: destined to be bright and short-lived.

But if you don't fight for it, you will be unwilling after all.

The sound of fireworks gradually weakened, Song Yanzhu looked back at him, he suddenly sighed, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to confess to you seriously, but God is unwilling to fulfill me...... Sure enough, those things didn't work for me. Second sister, I won't say anything about it, I want you to marry me, are you willing? ”

Song Yanzhu: "......"

Zhao Rong scratched his head, and was about to say, but he didn't know how to describe it, and said a little stumblingly: "Don't be in a hurry to reject me first, I'll calculate for you what advantages I have," he said, and Yibi really folded his fingers and calculated, "Although I am not a high-ranking official, I am smart, and it is no problem to take the Jinshi exam in the future!" Although my family is not a rich party, we can eat for a lifetime even if we sit and eat empty! If you marry me, I will not take a concubine to death, but only be good to you, otherwise let your two brothers beat me to death......"

"And ......" he was going to continue, and suddenly saw tears flickering in Song Yanzhu's eyes, somehow, his heart was also pinched together, touched her face, and smiled reluctantly: "Don't cry, if you are moved, let me hug you, Ming'er, I will go to your house to propose, and when I pass the championship, I will let you be the wife of the champion, what do you think?" ”

Song Yanzhu held his shoulder, tears falling down: "You will be the champion, you will win three yuan, you will have a good wife...... Sixth brother, you are so good......"

You are so good, how can I let you down?

"Don't say I'm good, I'll ......panic as soon as you say I'm good" Zhao Rong sighed, lowered his head and said, "Don't cry, I'll be sad as soon as you cry." Someone made you cry that day, I beat him so that his jaw almost dropped, at that time I swore to God that I would let you live a good life, and I would not let you shed tears, you see, I haven't married you yet, you broke my vow, no wonder God doesn't have mercy on me! ”

He trembled and stretched out his hand, carefully brushed her eyes with his rough fingertips, took her in his arms, and sighed, "Don't cry! Oh my God, don't cry, my clothes will be wet if you cry again! ”

I had never been so close to Song Yanzhu and hugged her tightly in her arms, but she only cared about crying. Beauty is in her arms, but she can't be her own woman, what kind of life is he.

Zhao Rong was also sad when he thought about it, rubbed her head and said: "He offended you in the past, you let him go, and then he left you on the road, and you let him go again, if he appears in front of you this time, you will whip him to death, and you are not allowed to let him go again." You don't breed horses, why do you let them go with him every day! Alright, alright, don't cry...... Do you look at me, half a month ago, I thought about making these things laugh at you, if you don't laugh, it's just that, and crying like this, let others know, how can I Zhao Liu mess around in Jianzhou? ”

Song Yanzhu finally snorted and burst into laughter, Zhao Rong's heart was sour, he wanted to cry but couldn't bear to cry, seeing Song Yanzhu burst into tears and laughed, he couldn't hold back after all, and choked up: "In this life, we have no fate to be husband and wife, it doesn't matter, I'll wait for you in the next life, if that bastard dares to rob me in the next life, I will beat him to death, you don't want to feel distressed......"

"You ......" Song Yanzhu wanted to ask how you knew, and when she remembered that she had a fever in Suzhou, she held his hand and shouted "Tao Moyan", it turned out that he understood everything, he understood everything......

"You are the same as him, you always love to hide things in your own heart, never say it, and when you arrive, you are hurt by yourself. Don't do this in the future, let's make it clear in front of the gong and drum in front of him, if he doesn't say it, you will beat him up and see if he says it, okay? Zhao Rong said softly, seeing that Song Yanzhu couldn't cry, he sniffled and choked up: "Yan'er, don't cry." If you call me brother, as long as you call me brother, from now on, I will stop thinking and concentrate on being your brother......"

A word is like a blunt knife cutting one's own flesh, and every stroke is rusty and painful to the bone marrow.

Song Yanzhu held his hand, and couldn't say a word for a while, Zhao Rong gently pushed her, "Call it, it's okay." Otherwise, I don't feel at ease if I throw you away like this, worship the handle, that kid dares to bully you again, and I will help you beat him...... Anyway, I've been looking at him for a long time, and I beg you to give me a reason to kill him properly! ”

There was a smile on his face, and the lines on the corners of his mouth were bitter, and after a while, he heard her intermittently shouting "brother, brother", like a knife between the two, after all, it was clear.

He patted her hand and said, "Good, good sister." ”

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and he let go of her and whispered, "He's coming, you make it clear to your face...... If he wants to kill me one day, you will have to intercede for me! ”

Song Yanzhu was in a trance, only to see that it was dark in front of him, Zhao Rong held her head with one hand, and kissed her on the lips.

For a while, the whole world was quiet, and Zhao Rong sighed contentedly in his heart: If he could stay at this moment, like a marquee, the fire would not be extinguished, and the lights would not stop, it would be worth it for him to be killed by Tao Moyan......

"Six...... Sixth brother ......" Song Yanzhu's panicked cry woke him up, he let go of her, and he heard the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer, and he hurriedly extinguished the marquee. He whispered: "You hide behind me, don't show your face!" ”
