The Qixi Lantern Festival in Dingzhou City is indeed very famous, but it is also famous in a radius of more than 100 miles on the left, and it is not yet famous to the point that it is known all over the world.

However, this time on Qixi Festival, in order to please the beauties, Xiahou Yuan specially dispatched the people of Xiahou's family to erect tall pillars on both sides of the main street of Dingzhou City, with ropes between each pillar, and then hung a specially made crystal frost lantern.

Frost comes from a very cold winter day. It's the middle of summer.

But the frost lanterns hanging at the top of the street, like a sky full of stars, brought a touch of coolness to the hot summer night.

The morning light floats and burns the night, and the frost is clear and the sky is clear.

The light inside the frost lantern shone orange, and the solid crystal lantern outside became more and more crystal clear.

There is warmth in the cold, and there is a trace of familiarity in the alienation, as if he has seen it somewhere, the image of cold on the outside and hot on the inside is very similar to the feeling of Du Hengshuang himself.

On the other hand, the hawkers of small business on the street are selling all kinds of lanterns.

Red-eyed rabbit lamps, fiery pomegranate lamps, elegant lotus lamps, graceful beauty lamps, silk yarn wrappers, rice paper wrappers, as well as glass, bamboo strips, sandalwood and jade, the materials are varied.

The hustle and bustle of the streets and the frost lights on the heights create a striking contrast.

Those who don't have enough eyes to see can't see the frost lamps in the heights.

But when I saw the frost lanterns on the high place, the colorful lanterns below became vulgar powder.

It's not who is more beautiful, but whose eyes it is.

Xiahou Wushuang took Xu Yanchao's hand. happily walked through the crowd and had already run in front of Du Hengshuang and them. She smiled and pointed out various lanterns on the side of the street to Xu Yanchao, and asked Xu Yanchao to guess the lantern riddles and win her favorite rabbit lantern.

Xu Yanchao disliked the rabbit lamp as too childish, and refused to carry it in his hand when he died.

Xiahou Wushuang pursed his lips and smiled, took out the silver, bought him a multicolored lotus lamp, and coaxed him: "This lamp is the best for my aunt." The third prince of Nezha split the mountain to save his mother, which is the blessing of the Baolian lamp. ”

As soon as it was said that it was related to his mother, Xu Yanchao obediently agreed. I took the Baolian lamp and carried it in my hand.

He's still young. After being awkward for a while, he let go, and followed Xiahou Wushuang around, his eyes were not enough.

Although Xu Yanchao grew up in Chang'an. But his father Xu Shao managed him strictly. I'm worried that he's going to be bad. So he was rarely let out.

Even in Chang'an, he has never been out of the house at night.

This time, I caught my strength and ran happily.

Du Hengxue was also attracted by the beautiful lanterns on the street. I bought a pomegranate lamp and wanted a beauty lamp. In his hand, he carried a lantern of eight immortals crossing the sea, and his eyes looked at a magpie lamp that was made vividly.

Xu Yanbang already had a hand full of lanterns in his hand, and when he saw that Du Hengxue still wanted it, he hurriedly coaxed her and said: "Xue'er, these are not good-looking, let's go to the front and have a look, maybe there are better ones." ”

"Huh? It's true? Du Hengxue was very happy and happily walked forward with him.

Du Hengshuang and Xiahou Yuan fell behind.

Neither of them spoke, just walked quietly in the bustling street market.

And the people in the market were stunned when they saw the two of them coming.

The vendor who was settling the account forgot to do so.

The parent who was just reprimanding his child for disobedience forgot to speak.

A thief who was about to pull out a money bag from a passerby's pocket forgot to retract his hand.

The two of them walked over, and passers-by subconsciously stepped aside to make way for them.

Du Hengshuang smiled and nodded.

Xiahou Yuan stretched out his arm and walked back to protect Du Hengshuang.

When they had passed, the market had regained its former prosperity.

And a pair of men and women in the crowd who went away, with their backs in Qinghua, were like a pair of beautiful people made in heaven.

"That's not the little prince of the Xiahou family? Who is the little lady next to him? - The old body has lived a handful of years, and I have never seen such a beautiful little lady......"

"Yes, yes, is it also a girl from the Xiahou family?"

"Possibly. The beauties of the Xiahou family, both men and women, are not as beautiful as real people. ”

"The same cannot be said. The girl of the Xiahou family is beautiful, but she has never been so beautiful as this. Of course, it's still not as good as the grand scene of the ancestor of the Xiahou family's 'side hat romance' back then......"

Passers-by were admiring the lights and talking about the beauties, all of them in high spirits.

Du Hengshuang and Xiahou Yuan walked to a remote alley with few people, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The two were silent for a night before they looked at each other and smiled.

"I can see what it means to 'look at the Kill Guard'." Xiahou Yuan laughed.

Du Hengshuang glanced at him, and said angrily: "Xiahou Little Prince deliberately got it, right?" You grew up in Dingzhou City, how can the people here not be familiar with your appearance? ”

"They are familiar with me, but not you. However, if you walk around here today, I guess everyone here will remember you. In the future, you will walk sideways in Dingzhou City, and no one will dare to touch a single hair of you. Xiahou Yuan said with a smile and led Du Hengshuang to the front of a small vendor.

Du Hengshuang looked around and smiled at the stall owner: "Few people come here, how did you do business if you stayed here?" ”

The man smiled and said, "This lady is laughing. Aren't you guests? It can be seen that there is no need for many guests, one distinguished guest is enough. I don't have a lot of goods here, and I can't resist the crowds. As he spoke, he took out a sachet with a solid crystal round sachet inlaid with gold mandarin duck patterns from the bottom of the case, and said, "Two guest officers, please take a look at this sachet." ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at it all at once.

The crystal around the sachet happens to be made into a frost shape, surrounded by a pair of red gold mandarin ducks with necks in the middle, the carving is meticulous, the crystal is clear, and because the mandarin duck is carved from pure gold, the yellow and clear color happens to be in contrast to the crystal frost lantern he specially prepared today, and he immediately saw it. Stretched out his hand to take it and take a look, the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, and asked with a smile, "How much silver?" ”

The man stretched out his palm and gestured, "This number." ”

"Five taels of silver?" Xiahou Yuan asked tentatively.

"Five taels of gold."

Xiahou Yuan smiled and nodded, "Such a good thing is only sold for five taels of gold." I'll give you fifty taels of gold. The sachet is mine. So saying, he ordered his attendants to give fifty taels of gold.

The man took the gold and said with a smile: "You see, I have done this business for ten years to come." It can be seen that there are not many guests. One that works is enough to eat for a lifetime. He said. He closed the stall and left in a hurry.

Xiahou Yuan held the sachet in his hand for a while, then turned to Du Hengshuang and said, "Give it to you." ”

Du Hengshuang was a little embarrassed, and hesitated: "...... It's too precious. ”

Xiahou Yuan raised his eyebrows. Laughed and said, "You look down on me? - This sachet is expensive. But it's not heavy. I know you have money. But it's not like my Xiahou family can't even get out of fifty taels of gold. Take it. As he spoke, he put it in Du Hengshuang's hands.

Du Hengshuang saw that the sachet was delicate and cute, and he had already liked it. Besides, she is not a stingy character, so she took the sachet and smiled: "Okay, I will give you a big gift in the future." ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and said with a smile: "You can also give me a sachet." ”

"Little prince, your sachet is so delicate, where can I find a more delicate sachet than this? - You still don't want to be strong. Du Hengshuang smiled and said, slipping without leaving his hand and not giving him a chance.

Where would Xiahou Yuan let her go so easily, "It doesn't need to be more exquisite, as long as you make it yourself." After that, a pair of eyes looked at her with fiery eyes, and their eyes were as bright as stars in the sky.

Du Hengshuang couldn't help but look up and saw the crystal frost lantern hanging high not far away, "That's what you prepared, right?" ”

"Obviously." Xiahou Yuan smiled and said, "Do you like it?" The time I saw a craftsman at home making this crystal frost lantern, I felt that it was very similar to you, so I took advantage of today's Chinese Valentine's Day to hang it out for you to see. ”

"It's beautiful. However, the time of frost is short, and there is no ...... in the night when you get up," Du Hengshuang said quietly.

Xiahou Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and he secretly said that it was bad, how could he forget this. He wants to be with her for a long time, and something as ephemeral as Frost Hua does have some implications......

Xiahou Yuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The frost bloom is indeed short-lived, but the crystal frost bloom can last for thousands of years and will never be broken. You see, those lanterns are made of crystal, just to be immutable for eternity. ”

Du Hengshuang smiled and glanced at him, just in time to see a crystal bead of sweat on his forehead, slowly flowing out of his hair, it can be seen how nervous he was just now......

"It's too hot...... Little prince, I see that you are sweating. Du Hengshuang took out a handkerchief from the bottom of his sleeve and handed it to Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan didn't answer, turned his head over, and said with a smile: "You wipe it for me." There was a bit of skin in his eyes, and there was a smile of forbearance.

When Du Hengshuang saw Xiahou Yuan's appearance, he remembered that when his third brother Xu Yanchao was playing tricks in the past, he also looked like this, and a trace of warmth rose in his heart, so he held the handkerchief informally and wiped it on Xiahou Yuan's forehead.

Xiahou Yuan smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Du Hengshuang's cuffs, and her handkerchief gently collided between his forehead, only to feel that his whole body was numb, and he couldn't even lift a finger, so he had to stand honestly, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, and let her wipe his sweat.

Not far away, Xiao Shiji hid in the darkness, watching this scene motionlessly, his eyes darker than the darkest night. Although it was the middle of summer, his whole body was as if he was immersed in ice water, and he was cold from the inside out.

The raised arm was only for him to wipe his sweat. That peerless smile was originally only blooming for him. Now it's all by another man's side......

Xiao Shiji's fists were clenched tightly, and he used all his strength to restrain himself, otherwise he would really run out of the way and beat Xiahou Yuan's nasty face, seeing that his peach blossom eyes were still flying, and seeing that he was still hooking up with other people's wives......

Thinking of the word "wife", Xiao Shiji's body seemed to be poured with a bucket of ice water.

She was no longer his wife.

The government's letter of harmony says, "Resolve grievances and release knots, and don't hate each other." One parting and two wide, each life rejoices. ”

They are already passers-by.

Xiao Shiji watched fixedly in the dark, never mustering the courage to rush out. But let him look at it again, he was afraid that he would vomit three liters of blood here and fall to the ground...... He can't die yet, he still has a lot to do.

Xiao Shiji had to reluctantly glance at Du Hengshuang, and finally turned around and strode away.

He didn't want to come to this place again. This place hurts his heart and lungs when he thinks about it.

From then on, one parted and two widened, and each life rejoiced. - At least, she's happy, and that's enough......

Xiao Shiji walked faster and faster, and soon left the small alley and walked towards the main road.

He was dressed in black, dusty, with stubble on his face, and a haggard face, no longer handsome, and fell into the crowd, except that he was taller than the average person, but not very conspicuous.

But when he walked so fast, the people who followed him couldn't help it, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao! ”

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, clear and smooth, like a singing opera.

Xiao Shiji stopped, looked back, and saw a woman in a light blue skirt, hurrying towards him.

"Brother Xiao." She paused, smiled and nodded.

It's actually Qi Yuexian, the lord of Suiyuan County!

Xiao Shiji turned around and left, this time walking faster.

Qi Yuexian had already caught up, and said with a smile behind him: "Brother Xiao, you deliberately chose the day of Qixi to run from Chang'an, why don't you go and see your frost?" ”

Xiao Shi and Huo Di stopped, and when they saw that they were already far away from the crowd, they took a few steps closer in front of Qi Yuexian, and said gloomily: "If you say another word, believe it or not, I will break your neck?" ”

"Faith! Letter! Of course I did! Qi Yuexian took two steps back, a little overwhelmed by Xiao Shiji's momentum.

"Believe and don't appear before me!" Xiao Shiji coldly threw down a sentence and walked towards the fork in the road.

He had never been to Dingzhou, and he just walked around on the streets, just wanted to find an inn to stay for one night, and then go out of the city and return to Chang'an when it was dawn.

But the alley he turned around indiscriminately turned was actually a dead end.

Looking at a solid brick wall opposite, Xiao Shiji sighed a little dejectedly, leaned against the wall in the alley, and looked at the crystal frost lantern in the night sky in the distance.

Qi Yuexian followed again without fear of death, smiled and walked around this alley, and said, "It's actually a dead end." Brother Xiao, where are you going? ”

Xiao Shiji pursed his lips, "Am I familiar with you?" Don't call 'Brother Xiao' or 'Brother Xiao', I can't afford it. ”

Qi Yuexian was suffocated, and changed her words: "Okay, Lord Xiao, why didn't you go out of the way to talk to your good frost just now?" - Or are you afraid? ”

"I'm afraid?" Xiao Shiji sneered, "What do I have to be afraid of!" ”

"Of course you're afraid. - You're afraid that your good sister won't be able to face you anymore when she sees her good brother's true face, aren't you? Do you dare to let your good sister see you outside? Qi Yuexian asked defiantly.
