Dong Lie propped up the bed with his palms and tried to get up, but Dong Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to help him when he saw this.

"Yes, yes...... Four years ago, you saved me and my mother from under the sharp teeth of a sword tiger...... Alie, you, do you really remember everything? Dong Zhu sat on the bed, holding one of Dong Lie's arms, and asked in a trembling voice, but there was no joy in his eyes, but full of fear and gains.

"Hmm......" Dong Lie seemed to have a terrible headache, his fingers firmly pressed to the position of his temples, and his forehead and eyebrows were tightly wrinkled into furrows.

Dongzhu looked at him almost in a panic and confirmed, "...... Remember everything? ”

"No......" Dong Lie didn't even have the strength to shake his head, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "I only remember the situation of saving you and your stepmother......"

The rest is like a mess, and it is not clear at all.

However, this feeling was even more torturous than all these years of ignorance!

It was clear that the truth was in front of me, but it was blocked by a cloud of fog.

"Yes...... Dongzhu couldn't say whether it was joy or anything, she only felt a great sigh of relief, she patted Donglie's back with her still trembling hand, and said, "If you can't think of it, don't think about it first, don't think about it again......"

She admits that she is selfish......

But she wasn't ready to lose Ah Lie at all.

If she could, she would be willing to exchange a qiē for Ah Lie never to remember his past, his ...... Once upon a time that had nothing to do with her.

……

Seven or eight days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Liancheng ushered in the annual Shangyuan Festival in a rainy and rainy weather.

The rain was not heavy. But it has been going on since the morning, and it has stopped for half an hour when the lunch time comes. But before the dishes used for lunch were cleaned, they began to fall again.

This time. I couldn't stop until it was time to hold the lamp.

However, even if the heavens are not beautiful, the festival still has to be passed, and all families eat the Lantern Festival happily as usual. It's just that the number of people who go out to enjoy the lanterns after dinner has plummeted by nearly half compared to previous years.

The remaining half are willing to brave the rain to join in the fun, and they are divided into three types, the first is the blind excitement type, whether it rains or not is no different for them, they should have fun, they should have fun. Completely unaffected by the weather;

The second kind seems normal in comparison, it is not too big to see the rain, and holding an umbrella does not affect the interest, it is a pity not to go out once a year, anyway, it is idle at home;

The third type is the passive crowd, who just want to nest at home and be a quiet dead house, but they are forced out by family members or friends who have the first or second characteristics.

And on the bright side, it seems to belong to the third type of Jiang Sakura. But there is a passion for the first kind hidden in my heart.

After learning etiquette and rules with Mrs. Ji for six or seven days in a row, she almost didn't have a chance to go out, either her arms and legs were weak when she practiced posture and etiquette, or she was dazzled and sore when she copied books.

Finally, I was looking forward to the Shangyuan Festival, but it happened to hit a rainy day. Although Jiang Ying was a little disappointed, she was still very excited in her heart. However, thinking about the rules that Madame Ji had taught her recently, she decided to 'apply what she had learned'. At least I can't let the nurse feel that she has studied in vain for so many days without the slightest growth.

So, she took out a calm appearance and sat quietly in the room reading a book. It seems that there is no intention of going out at all.

Rules are like clothes, and she knows that people live in the world, especially women, must wear clothes. But she didn't want to be a piece of clothing because of it.

So under this seemingly calm, there is a heart that is ready to move.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but when she really restrained her temperament, she was a little unbearable, so Zhuang said: "The rules are for others to see, in order not to be rude in front of people in the future, but you can't lose your original heart because of this...... It's Shangyuan Festival again, let's put aside this tiring rule first, let's go out and enjoy the lanterns! ”

Liang Ping was laughing, as if he had already seen through Jiang Ying's careful thinking of retreating as advance, but he didn't break it, and only echoed Zhuang's words, "What Pingniang said, as the saying goes, everything has to be combined with work and rest-"

"That's it! It's finally a festive season, and I'm counting on you to show me around! Let's go, don't look at it! Liang Wenqing snatched a women's etiquette manual from Jiang Ying's hand, pulled people and walked out.

Jiang Ying sighed reluctantly and said, "Then let's go out for a walk......

……

The most popular place to visit during the Jogen Festival in Kyoto is the "Moto Lantern Gallery" on the Kamimoto River.

Shangyuan River is located in the east of Kyoto City, covers an area is not wide, but the length is more than ten miles from north to south, the widest point is about six or seven zhang, but it is the longest history of a river in the city, it is a hundred years earlier than the establishment of the Feng Dynasty, it is said that it is a reservoir dug out by the ancestors when they were in charge of the water before the three dynasties, after hundreds of years of changes, it finally evolved into today's Shangyuan River.

The "Yuan Lantern Corridor" is a zigzag corridor built above the Shangyuan River by Emperor Xiaoxian in the year of the opening of the Feng Dynasty.

The promenade is built in the middle of the Shangyuan River, which is firmly supported by a number of stone pillars and steel nails, divided into two long and two short, a total of four, and is erected on the Shangyuan River in the shape of a 'well'.

Every Shangyuan Festival, the eaves of the Yuan Lantern Corridor will be hung with colorful lanterns - at first it was arranged by the government to do this, but over the years, it gradually evolved into the people themselves to hang the lanterns, the people have always thought that this move means auspicious Rui Ankang, one person and one lamp to hang up, every year can always hang full, one to two, with the family to the Yuan Lantern Gallery to hang lanterns, as if it has become a custom in Liancheng.

"The lamps sold by my mother-in-law here can not only pray for blessings, but also ask for marriage-" The mother-in-law who sells lanterns by the Shangyuan River looked at Liang Wenqing with a deep meaning and said.

Liang Wenqing was stunned for a moment.

This mother-in-law probably saw that she was not young and still combed the girl's hair, and felt that her marriage was not good, and it was not easy to marry?

Song Chunfeng on the side looked uncomfortable for a moment, and then hurriedly followed Liang Ping and Zhuang in front of him, and simply walked around with Jiang Ying and Liang Wenqing.

What kind of marriage is mentioned on the big holiday? It's really bad......

Liang Wenqing's face was still not very good, but the old woman who sold the lamp still didn't know that she had poked the sore spot of the girl in front of her. exaggerated the miracles of the Yuan Lantern Gallery, and even 'Last year, a girl sold lamps at her place and made a wish for marriage. When I come back next year, even the children will be gone' nonsense that can't stand scrutiny at all.

Jiang Ying broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and simply pulled Liang Wenqing to go elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, I heard Liang Wenqing say in a condensed voice: "Bring me ten!" ”

At the end, he added: "The kind of ...... exactly like last year's girl!" ”

Jiang Ying's face was shocked and indescribable.

Jiang Ying's dissuasion was ineffective, so she had to follow Liang Wenqing, who was full of 'marriage lamps' in his hands, to the Yuan Lantern Gallery.

At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and the drizzle could not hinder the enthusiasm of the people to pray for blessings, and the Yuan Lantern Gallery was occupied by lanterns of different colors and shapes, and the soft lights melted into a warm and hazy ocean, which was not too affected by the drizzle and breeze outside the corridor.

From a distance, it looks like four interlaced colorful ribbons hanging on the Shangyuan River. Dazzling.

When you get closer, you will find that most of the young men and women are chatting and laughing on the porch, and most of the people who are a little older are hanging up the lanterns of prayer and leaving in a hurry with umbrellas.

From this point of view, the elegant thing of appreciating the lanterns in the cold wind and rain at night can only be done when you are young, and the more stupid the behavior that others feel, the more enthusiastic young people are. Not to the side, in the final analysis, it is only these two words - young.

“…… Let's go play, I'll go to the Tanglin Tower with Ping Niang to sit down and listen to the music. Liang Ping, who held the umbrella for Zhuang's all the way, also has an elegant heart. But it's not easy to force the young people into the pile, so he said with a smile.

"I'm going to listen to the music too-" Song Chunfeng's camp was clear, and he didn't want to hang the marriage lamp with Liang Wenqing.

What if it really works...... Wouldn't his next life be over!

His reaction was expected by Liang Wenqing. Liang Wenqing, who was bent on hanging the lamp, didn't say much, and urged Jiang Ying, who was holding an umbrella, to go to the Yuan Lantern Gallery.

Cold. I bumped into a person head-on.

"Hey! How do you walk—" The other person questioned first, listening to the voice. It should be a little girl, and her tone is a little anxious.

When Liang Wenqing heard this, he immediately sneered: "If you have long eyes, how can you bump into me?" ”

The unreasonable nature was suddenly exposed again.

Jiang Ying reluctantly stepped forward and was about to apologize, but the person standing in front of her was actually a pretty little maid and a girl wearing a fence.

Xie Jiarou?

Jiang Ying almost immediately recognized that it was her.

It's not that her eyesight is good, but that the cold temperament on Miss Xie Biao's body is definitely not something that can be covered by a fence, but anyone who pays attention can recognize it very lightly.

“…… Let's go. Xie Jiarou stopped Bai Ling, who was going to continue arguing with Liang Wenqing, and said softly.

Liang Wenqing knew that he was the first to hit others, and his tough attitude was just due to his unwillingness to give in to his character, but he was not a stalking scoundrel, so he snorted coldly when he saw this, and then pretended to roll his eyes, and turned sideways to make way.

Xie Jiarou glanced at Jiang Ying as if unintentionally, and then left with the maid.

"It's really boring to come out to play with a veil, since you really don't want others to see your face, then don't go out at all......" Liang Wenqing has always looked down on these aristocratic ladies who don't know whether they are real nobles or fake nobles, and he rolled his eyes again.

Jiang Ying smiled helplessly, and urged: "Okay, let's go, do you want to hang the lamp in your hand?"

Bai Ling, who had walked ten steps away, had red eyes in a hurry, and said in a slightly panicked voice: "Girl, what should I do now?" If it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, the girl's reputation is afraid to ...... I'm afraid it's ......."

Xie Jiarou didn't say a word, and continued to walk forward, the handkerchief in her right hand was already crumpled.

"It's all the slave's fault, and it's all the slave's fault...... If it hadn't been for the slave and maid who insisted on persuading the girl to go out with her lady for a walk, this would never have happened...... If something really happens, the slave and maid will die ten thousand times and will not be able to atone for their sins! The more Bai Ling spoke, the more excited he became, and by the end his voice even trembled.

Just now, she accompanied the girl, the second lady and Princess Ying Dongzhu to hang the lanterns here, but when she returned to the restaurant, she found that the purse that the girl was carrying was gone!

If it's just an ordinary purse, forget it, but there is a girl's close-fitting Pisces jade pendant, which was left by the girl's mother before she left, and the girl's small characters are engraved on the back-

Regardless of the value of this jade pendant, just saying that the jade pendant engraved with small characters fell into the hands of others, it was not a trivial matter in the family of the Shi people!

"Girl, or else...... Sue Mrs. Sù, right? Bai Ling thought of Xie Shi in a hurry, and said hesitantly: "Explain the situation to Mrs., if something really goes wrong in the future, at least Mrs. can help you......"

"I have a clear conscience, so why bother. Maybe it caused my aunt to be suspicious, thinking that I had done something unseemly, so I deliberately found an excuse in advance to excuse it-" Xie Jiarou was still calm, but there was an indescribable coldness in her tone.

Bai Ling was far less familiar with Xie Jiarou than Thrush, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Madam will believe in the girl!" ”

Xie Jiarou sneered at the corners of her mouth, her face cold.

She almost threw her life away in Jingyang Lake, and her aunt only secretly taught Jin Mi a few words - she knew that she was cheap, but she didn't know that she was so cheap!

Xie Shi believes her?

But she didn't dare to believe Xie at all!

……

When Jiang Ying and his party left after listening to the song from the Tanglin Tower, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and most of the pedestrians by the Shangyuan River had left, and the rest of the people were also holding umbrellas and walking in a hurry.

There are still some young people in the lantern gallery who refuse to leave, because the hour is too late, and the rest are mostly men, some of them seem to have eaten some wine and laughed loudly in the corridor, and there are also those who leaned on the railing to look at the lamp and chanted poetry.

"Why is this rain getting heavier and heavier, as if there is no head......" Zhuang glanced at the rain curtain hanging on the cornice, frowned and complained.

Liang Ping smiled "hehe", opened the umbrella and said: "Let it go down, I can't get you half a point with me, what are you afraid of." ”

Song Chunfeng coughed lightly in embarrassment when he heard this, shook off his umbrella and left the front of the building first.

Jiang Ying snickered silently, and Liang Wenqing rolled her eyes without giving face.

"Look at you......" Zhuang stabbed Liang Ping with his elbow as if he was displeased, for fear that he would say something unorthodox, so he hurriedly urged: "Don't talk so much nonsense, go back quickly!" ”

Liang Ping didn't say much, and smiled and raised the umbrella above her head.

However, just as the group was about to leave, they heard a burst of unhurried footsteps behind them, and then a voice with a little surprise and a little smile sounded neither high nor low - "Isn't this Old Master Liang, Mrs. Liang, and Miss Jiang?" ”

The Zhuang family couldn't help but stop when they heard this. (To be continued......)
