On the central axis of the south of Luzhou City, there is a historic old city tower, which was originally the city gate of Luzhou, but with the increase of population in the city and the expansion of commercial streets to the coast, this old city tower that has been invaded by years of wind and rain and has been baptized by war has long lost its original role and has become a trace left by history.

Compared with the depressive seriousness in the lease, the commercial street near the old city tower retains the customs and customs from Luzhou, and is also more approachable, so when the collapsed city wall near the old city tower is cleared and the new city wall is erected again, the people of Luzhou better believe that this city tower is a feng shui treasure left by the gods of heaven and earth and the ancestors, so on the day of festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, praying for blessings and making wishes on the school field inside and outside the city tower has become a traditional program in Luzhou.

For example, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can enjoy the moon and watch the lanterns.

From the city gate to the inside, through the flat bluestone school field, 100 meters away is the largest restaurant in Luzhou "Jiaolantai", three-storey brick and wood structure, from the middle of the main hall to both sides of the symmetrical surrounding, sandalwood columns, carved railings, tung oil crimson red door hanging black gold silk nanmu plaque, on the book vigorous and powerful eight characters:

Ride the wind and the clouds

On such an important day as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiaolantai is naturally dressed up in Chinese lanterns, and today's distinguished guests are coming, and they are naturally extraordinarily exquisite and grand - the Liu family has chartered the entire restaurant, and at the same time entertaining the distinguished guests, they have invited almost all the famous families in the political and business circles inside and outside Luzhou City.

Since the first lamp was lit on the city gate tower, there were incense cars gathered outside the gate of Jiaolantai, and the guests were coming.

The invitation of the Liu family came suddenly, and it was extremely solemn to use the post of Zhenghong Jinsi Nan wood carved with gold characters, saying that it was an auspicious day, and all the relatives of the Lin Mansion were specially invited to celebrate. This post was sent early on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and Master Lin sent people to pick up his aunt and wife who had lived away from home for a long time day and night.

The seat of the Lin Mansion is directly opposite the hall of the banquet guests of the Liu Mansion, and after Lin Wanjing took a stroll around the garden of the restaurant, she also felt that she had nothing to do.

On the side of the building, it is impossible to say that Liu Jin didn't see Lin Wanjing's thoughtful appearance, but because of the occasion, he couldn't go over to see her, so he was forbidden to even stand on the terrace for a while - the elders of the Liu family said that the auspicious time had not yet arrived, and the matchmaker had not yet proposed marriage, and it was extremely unlucky for him to go to see the girl of the in-laws, and even his biological mother nodded in agreement.

But he clearly saw that Lin Wanjing seemed to be worried, and he couldn't help but be a little worried - he thought that Lin Wanjing would definitely agree to him about the marriage proposal, and he would agree to him no matter what, but now he feels that this confidence seems to be eroding with time, and the closer to the established time, the more uncertain he is.

In his memory, he didn't seem to be so unsure of what was going on, so he was so troubled and lost.

I have to admit that he is nervous, and this tension cannot be relieved.

Lu Canghan seemed to see that he was unusual today, and took a cigarette and asked him to relax in the corridor, which was a good idea, so he didn't refuse.

Avoiding everyone, Lu Canghan didn't beat around the bush, and asked bluntly:

"You're not in the right state today, if you have any concerns, speak up and listen."

Liu Jin wanted to deny it, but when he took the cigarette, he found that his hand holding the cigarette was trembling, and Lu Canghan didn't break it, chuckled, and waited for him to speak.

After a cigarette was burned, Liu Jin said leisurely:

"It's nothing, it's just one thing......"

At the temple fair that day, Lin Wanjing left in a bad mood, and he was worried that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so he wrote to her and took the first two sentences of Yuan Zhen's "Four of the Five Songs of Leaving Thoughts". But Lin Wanjing has not replied to this letter so far. He only said that he cared too much, but he couldn't help it, because as long as he thought about it, his heart was like carrying a stone.

Lu Canghan pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully:

"What you're going to say to her in a moment, shouldn't it be an ancient poem you chose?"

But isn't it, he specially chose the sentence "Suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light", but it was only after he chose that he became more and more worried.

Seeing that Liu Jin didn't speak, Lu Canghan knew that he had probably guessed correctly, and sighed:

"If I hadn't asked you out at this time, I guess there would be a ...... in the suspense for tonight" Seeing Liu Jin looking at him with puzzled eyes, he said again:

"What words did you say you chose, the sea was difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, such an ambiguous sentence, you copied it to her? What exactly do you think again? Do you want to say that she is Wushan Yunyu, or do you want to tell her that she is just a drop in the ocean for you? ”

Liu Jin was dumbfounded, and before he could explain, Lu Canghan said again:

"Besides, let me remind you, Yun Rou, Miss Wan Jing stayed in the United States at the age of 12 for 8 years. Do you remember when Feng Qi first returned to China? She stayed in the United States at the age of fourteen, only spent four years in France, and came back almost without even speaking Chinese. Miss Wanjing can still speak fluent Chinese now, and you still expect her to sing poetry and songs with you, Fenghan Longzhang? ”

When he said this, Liu Jin suddenly remembered the stack of Tang poetry and Song poetry anthologies he saw in the Lin family's living room two days ago, and the appearance when he wanted to read it, but was snatched away by her—she was really embarrassed, but she was afraid that it was not because his mind was discovered by him, but because he was worried that he would discover her weakness.

"Canghan, I owe you once!"

The sky was dark, and the moon rose from the sea level, sprinkling silver light all over the ground. The second palace lantern is hung on the city tower, which is the signal of the flower street lighting, in this one after another cheers, the lanterns on both sides of the street are lit up one after another, and the sky and the earth are shining together in an instant, and the lanterns are like day.

The long sound of firecrackers sounded outside the restaurant, followed by the noisy drum music, Lin Wanjing vaguely felt that the crowd around her began to be restless, turned around, and found that her sister Wanying and A Ling had arrived, excitement and expectation were all written on her face, and before she could ask, Lin Wanying couldn't wait to take her hand:

"Sister, sister, the Dragon and Lion Team is here, let's go downstairs!"

Lin Wanjing looked at her sister's excited cheeks flushed, and was a little puzzled for a while: Isn't it the Dragon and Lion Team, it's not that I haven't seen it, as for being excited like this? But before she could speak, Lin Wanying couldn't help but pull her up and dragged her downstairs.

It was like waiting for her, seeing her go downstairs, the crowd of onlookers downstairs made way for her, and the sisters arrived at the forefront of the ceremony, but saw that the dragon and lion team was lively, embroidered with cloud patterns of yellow lion awakening, hanging eyes and white forehead, wearing gold armor, moving and jumping, majestic.

In the middle of the night, a little lion came out of the jubilant lion pack, shook his head and tail to her, rolled and licked his hair in front of her, blinked and shook his tail, and tried his best to sell cuteness and flatter, Lin Wanjing really felt that it was cute, so she was not restrained and played with it.

She subconsciously picked up the hydrangea, and then saw that the little lion seemed to expect her to throw the hydrangea away, so she didn't think much about it, and the hydrangea tied with the copper bell sounded crisply in the air to draw a beautiful arc, and the little lion chased it into the lion group.

Without waiting for it to come back, the dragon and lion team faded away like a tide, so Lin Wanjing saw Liu Jin coming to her led by a pair of lions cubs, holding the hydrangea she had just thrown.

Lin Wanjing finally understood that everything today was a game that Liu Jin gave up.

She panicked suddenly, perhaps because she was not ready, and now she unconsciously wanted to escape. But in Liu Jin's affectionate gaze, he couldn't move an inch, only watching him get closer and closer, and finally in front of her, he should be really nervous, his throat moved repeatedly, for a while, he chuckled, looked at her and said:

"I originally picked Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case" for tonight, but just now, I suddenly realized that I really didn't think enough about your feelings.

The sentence I wrote to you before, once the sea was difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, in fact, what I want to say to you is the last two sentences: take the second flower bush lazy review, half of the cultivation of the road and half of the king. ”

His voice is so good, at this moment, maybe because of nervousness, piggybacking on a little hoarse, but more magnetic, his voice is like a mysterious power, slowly soothing her uneasiness, warm sweetness spread from the bottom of her heart, the corners of her mouth are also unconsciously dyed with a smile, clear eyes look at him, so he has a moment of distraction, it is this moment of distraction, he trance found that he actually has some incoherent words of the six gods, coughed lightly twice and cleared his throat, stared at her eyes, and said affectionately:

“How ma

What he recited to her was Yeats's poems, which she had read countless times, but never once sounded so beautiful, and every word that came out of his mouth seemed to come to life, sinking into her heart, shining with stars.

"This poem... I guess you like it..."

Hearing Liu Jin ask her, Lin Wanjing just woke up from her intoxication and hurriedly replied:

"Well, yes, very much."

"So... What about me? He asked again, with some shyness in his ridiculous tone, he clearly saw the surprise in Lin Wanjing's expression, so he said the sentence that had been brewing for a long time in one go:

"Wanjing, marry me."

Looking at the hand he stretched out to her, Lin Wanjing felt a little hesitant, she was clearly looking forward to this moment, but why did it really come to this time, she clearly noticed a little hesitation and unwillingness hidden in her heart, this indescribable apprehension seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't lift her arm or stretch it out.

Liu Jin could see that her expression was different, so she called her softly, Lin Wanjing woke up and forcibly put aside those thoughts for unknown reasons, only to say that she had thought too much, and she was calm, and before she could speak, she listened to him again:

"Wanjing, I know that you hate being tricked the most, but I really don't know how to tell you in advance about marriage proposals......"

"I know." Lin Wanjing, where did you say this kind of thing in advance?

"Yes...... Ask me again? ”

Liu Jin was stunned, but this short episode also made him put down all his nervousness, so he took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Miss Lin Wanjing, are you willing to marry me?"

This time, his voice was clear and loud, very penetrating, shattering the invisible imprisonment in Lin Wanjing's heart, and releasing all the sweetness that had been brewing for a long time.

"I do."

Liu Jin only felt that she had been waiting for centuries for these three words, so when she agreed and reached out to put her hand on his palm, he couldn't wait to pull her into his arms, for fear that she would regret it and run away from him in the next second.

The crowd cheered, flowers flew and salutes were fired.

Lin Wanjing leaned on Liu Jin's arms, raised her head, and looked at the fireworks blooming in the moonlit night, the bright light reflected in her eyes, dyed with the smile in her eyes, and the beauty of trance was like the dream he longed for, Liu Jin only felt that what he was holding in his arms at the moment seemed to be the whole world he longed for.

The world in his arms is so beautiful, like the glass tempered in the hands of Austrian craftsmen, crystal clear, without a trace of dust, he was originally just watching from afar, but now he is holding it in his hand, but he doesn't grasp it - he seems to have suddenly understood the feeling of "holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, holding it in his hand for fear of dropping", and he doesn't know what to give to her, so that he can be regarded as worthy of her, in order to tell her all his intentions, and to stay by his side for a long time.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin's expression couldn't help but be solemn, Lin Wanjing saw it, raised her hand and rubbed his slightly frowning eyebrows:

"What's wrong with you?"

Liu Jin suddenly woke up, and didn't feel funny at his moment's gains and losses, he took out the brand of Kuaijin casting unicorn pattern from his arms, put it in her palm and held it tightly:

"If there's anything else you want, just tell me."

But whenever she said that he was willing to give everything he had, and the end of the world was found for her, he finally believed that the descriptions of love in the original poetry books were true, which made people lose their way and go to the soup and fire.

Lin Wanjing looked at the token in her palm, knowing how important it should be to Liu Jin, and wanted to return it to him, but his palm was so strong that it didn't give her any room to refuse, so she had to clench it and look at him and said:

"You're enough."

When he heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help lowering his head and kissing the corner of her smiling mouth deeply:

"Wanjing, you are finally mine, and no one can snatch you away."
