(Two more arrived, ask for a little pink~)

Yu Shu and Xia Jiangmin got into the carriage and went to the shore of Lion Lake to meet Xue Rui and Liu Tan.

On the way, Yu Shu pinched Xia Jiangmin's little hand and teased: "I'm about to see your future husband, tell me, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”

Xia Jiangmin's nervous mouth was dry, how could he think too much, glanced at her, and said:

"I hope King Jing doesn't like you to bluff people."

Yu Shu smiled: "You are also careful, do you still hate me for pretending to be a man and deceiving you, but you can rest assured, I promise that Lord Jing is not a woman pretending." ”

Xia Jiangmin couldn't cry or laugh, and pinched her, but now she was relaxed.

Yu Shu laughed with Xia Jiangmin, but he was faintly worried about her in his heart, Liu Tan didn't seem to be a man who was good at understanding amorous feelings, and he was quite ambitious, a woman like Xia Jiangmin, I don't know if Lu Dao is in line with his heart

At dusk, there is still residual heat on the Lion Lake, the lake is glittering, and there are many tourists, mostly young girls who go together, and groups of scholars and sons.

Xue Rui and Liu Tan arrived a step early, standing under a willow tree on the shore of Lion Lake and waiting, because the two of them were handsome and had extraordinary temperament, which aroused the concern of passers-by, and because of the tall guards standing on both sides of them, they did not dare to approach.

The two chatted privately, but they had nothing to do with their children's personal affairs.

"Yesterday, the Seventh Emperor Brother was invited to Dali Temple for interrogation in the middle of the night, and he only returned to the palace during the day today, is there any progress in the case, has my cousin heard about it?"

"I have not been on an errand for the past two days, and I have not asked about it. If the prince wants to know what Lu Dao is, I will inquire tomorrow. ”

Liu Tan showed a hint of disappointment on his face, shook his head and said: "You don't have to deliberately ask, when the case comes out, it will be announced to the public." ”

Xue Rui glanced at him, turned his head to look into the distance, and saw a familiar carriage coming from afar, smiled on his face, and pointed to Liu Tan:

"Here we are."

Only then did Liu Tan shift his mind and follow his fingers. Look out into the distance. In the young man's resolute heart, there is a little bit of something strange at this moment.

The two-wheeled carriage, with its generous appearance, soon arrived, and when the coachman had stopped, the maid sitting beside him opened the door. The curtain was lifted. Stand outside the door and help people.

The first to jump out of the car was Yu Shu. Liu Tan only glanced at her, and then he was attracted by the slender figure who bent down and leaned out, and a little light burst out of his eyes.

I saw that. Jasper years, the posture of the mulberry, the delicate face of the hibiscus, raising her eyes in one move, when there are three points of cowardice, so turbulent, ashamed of the lotus Su who is watching from the shore.

"The little girl Xia Jiang has seen the Ninth Prince."

Xia Jiangmin parted her waist, her voice was like a jade bead falling on the plate, Liu Tan's eyes flickered, and then she took half a step forward unhurriedly and raised her hand to help:

"Miss excuse me."

Xia Jiangmin straightened up, slowly raised his eyes, and looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as her, with a handsome and square face, seeing him staring at her, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and lowered his head again.

When Yu Shu saw this scene, his heart fell back, and he turned his head and glanced at Xue Rui.

Xue Rui smiled at her, and he could also see that Liu Tan should be very satisfied with the appearance of the future princess.

The wind on the lake is cool, the sunset is slanting, the four of them come together, two by two, but at this time they don't know how to make people, in the near future, how fate will make people

At that time, Qixi Festival was the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met, and it was also the festival of women's begging.

Whoever has reached the age of marriage must make a five-color needlework in advance, and on this day, worship Yueniang.

The four of them did not stay on the shore of Lion Lake for a long time, but they saw each other, so they got into two carriages and went to the Chunlan River not far from here for sightseeing according to Liu Tan's prior arrangement

When we reached the riverside, night fell.

The figures on the river bank are not dense, but this long section of the river, there is no emptiness, there are already rich people near the river, on the bank pulled up the lantern flower stand, each occupied a good place, with the family, blowing the cool river breeze, eating melons and fruits, drinking and admiring the stars, chatting about the legendary love story.

Then there is a daughter's family, on this day, she always has to dress up beautifully and show her face outside, so that people can know that there is a girl in a certain family who has just grown up, and she is virtuous and pretty.

The Qixi Festival enjoys the light on the Chunlan River, which has become a custom in Anling, and there is a story in it.

At this time, the talented Xue Dacai, who is full of economy, comes in handy:

"Emperor Anwu first led Kyoto, there was a year of invasion of the barbarians in the north of Xinjiang, the royal drive was personally conquest, who knew that there was no news of this go, Empress Ning Zhen guarded in the capital, worried and hopeful, every time on the Chunlan River leading to the north, there was a banyan tree on the riverbank, every time Empress Ning Zhen went, she hung a hand-made peace charm under the tree, one day in July, the banyan tree actually bore fruit, and then, the news of Emperor Anwu's triumphant return came from Beijing."

"Yes, people say that the banyan tree has a spirit, respectfully call it 'Niangniang tree', every Qixi Festival, there are those men and women who have their hearts, on the three-hundred-year-old banyan tree, tie a sachet and purse, with their hearts, ask the tree god to bless, and wait until three days later and then pick, it is said that they can get their wish."

Xia Jiangmin and Yu Shu are not local households, they are both hearing this story for the first time, the former has an excited light in his eyes, and the latter looks east and west, pointing to a place in the distance where people are crowded and the light is abnormal:

"Is that the tree?"

It is rare to have banyan trees in the north, let alone on the river bank, such a leafy lonely forest, far away, will not admit mistakes.

Liu Tan said: "That's the tree." ”

Looking at the towering canopy in the distance, Xia Jiangmin's mind moved, and he asked in a coquettish voice: "Did the Ninth Prince also make a wish on the Niangniang tree?" ”

Liu Tan looked back at her and smiled slightly: "No, it's the first time I've come to this river to have fun on the Qixi Festival." ”

After another pause, he asked her, "Why don't we go over and have a look later?" ”

Xia Jiangmin's eyes flashed and nodded, his slightly curious appearance seemed a little childish, but it was beautiful.

Xue Rui said on the side: "Don't be busy, the ninth brother has set up a banquet, and we will go over there after eating." ”

"That's it, let's eat first, fill our stomachs and go on a night tour." Yu Shu clapped his hands and laughed.

The four of them then took advantage of the lights on the river and climbed to a restaurant on the shore

After the banquet, a group of four people, lightly dressed, with only two guards, walked up the river.

Not far from the green banyan tree, there are small stalls selling sachet bags, flower ropes and colored threads on the roadside, and the handiwork is considered good.

Seeing that many people bought it, Xia Jiangmin also pulled Yu Shu to select a few colored ropes, but she didn't like the purse sachets that served as lucky bags.

There are literati who specialize in lending paper and ink to set up scaffolds around the banyan tree, and put up lanterns. The starlight is sprinkled, and the old banyan tree, which is lush and green in the daytime, shines brightly, just like the tree itself will shine.

This Niangniang tree is thick with five people around, the branches are bent layer by layer, the lower branches have been densely bundled with colorful bags, the higher branches need to borrow bamboo poles to reach, the higher the up, the less the lucky bag, stand at the foot of the banyan tree and look up, as if bearing countless fruits, very spectacular.

Liu Tan accompanied Xia Jiangmin to write the lucky bag, Yu Shu quietly pulled down Xue Rui's sleeve, and the two stopped behind to give them a moment to be alone.

"Big brother, look, is it obviously a match for the king?" Yu Shu asked with his head sideways.

Xue Rui looked up at the Banyan who seemed to be out of sight, and his tone was leisurely:

"It's best if you can be happy."

As he spoke, he looked down at her, his eyes glazed: "Just like you and me." ”

Yu Shu silently cocked his fingers, covered by his wide sleeves, hooked his palm, and the next moment, he held it hard.

Yu Shu was startled, there were people coming and going here, for fear of being noticed, so he turned his head to stare at him, and was about to withdraw his hand, but he held it tightly, so that she couldn't break free.

Seeing her panic, Xue Rui chuckled lowly, and was about to say something, when suddenly his afterglow flashed, he caught a glimpse of a figure, and quickly turned his head and looked at the other side of the banyan tree.

"What's wrong?" Yu Shu noticed that he was distracted and asked.

Xue Rui let go of her and raised his hand to the front, "That's Kong Qi." ”

A few feet away, a young man in plain clothes, who did not notice the eyes of others, took out a light yellow lucky bag from his arms indifferently, took the bamboo pole under the tree, raised his hand, and hung the lucky bag on the branch with a focused expression. (To be continued......)
