The sound of firecrackers is a year old, but the white horse has passed through the gap, and another year has passed.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the previous year were all left yesterday at the end of the year.

Mo Yanxi sat in front of the window and looked at the red brocade thread on his wrist. A new copper coin fell from it. I heard my mother say that at the end of each year, the blessings on the copper coins will disappear and must be replaced with new ones in order to continue to bless peace in the next year.

Feng Qifan sat at the table drinking tea, and when he saw Mo Yanxi in a daze, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?" It doesn't look like a melancholy. ”

Not only is it not like sorrow, every time I think of my mother's little bit, this heart is as sweet as pouring honey. The corners of Mo Yanxi's mouth also hooked.

"Fan, do you say that the deceased person will really become a star in the sky, watching you all the time and bless you."

When Feng Qifan heard this, he thought for a while: "People die but a handful of loess, buried in the soil and weathered into ashes, and finally completely gone." To say that existence exists is only because of our thoughts. ”

Mo Yanxi smiled: "You, sometimes like a piece of wood, but the words you say are irrefutable." But it's good to be able to exist in the heart, I'm afraid that with the passage of time, this feeling will fade, and everything that I want to insist on in my heart, hatred, happiness, sadness, will all disappear, and at that time, the person who passed away will be completely gone. ”

There was a faint fragrance of pear blossoms burning in the Ding furnace in the house, and a hexagonal charcoal stove was placed next to it, which was close to annihilation because it was unattended.

Mo Yanxi said, his eyes sank, and those people in the Mo Mansion in Wenxi City appeared in his mind again.

"Do you have hatred in your heart?"

Feng Qifan turned his head to look at Mo Yanxi and asked. From Chinese New Year's Eve to Shangyuan, the snow always falls intermittently, and although there is sun, it is too late to melt completely, and all the snow swept away is piled up in the dark corners.

Mo Yanxi sighed: "Joy, anger, sorrow, love and hatred, everyone, every moment." It's just a matter of size. ”

Feng Qifan saw that Mo Yanxi refused to say, so he didn't ask anymore.

About half an hour later, Xiangxue ran in from the gate of the courtyard, saw that the house was not warm, and waited for a while to make a charcoal fire, then smiled: "Just now Nan Ke and Ming Sang looked on the street, every street is lively, Zhenxue Street has a parade of sedan chairs, left and right are hung with colorful lanterns, hawker stalls are also many, I heard that every Shangyuan Festival, the powerful and rich merchants in Cilu City will Shi rice porridge, it is estimated that it is the most crowded place, Changsui Road is the most beautiful street in Cilu City, I heard which emperor came here to inspect, specially sent people to build, From the architecture to the scenery, it is close to the appearance of Wenxi City. ”

Xiangxue said, her words became more and more excited: "But I don't think Miss should be interested in this place, Wenxi City's scenery, Miss has been watching it for more than ten years, and it is time to see some fresh ones, so there is another place, Xiangxue thinks you will definitely like it." ”

"The scenery in this Lucheng shows the softness of the western water town, which place is good-looking, can you tell me where else?"

Mo Yan looked at Xiangxue with a blank look, which was in stark contrast to the wind fan who was sitting on the side and doing everything coldly.

"I heard that there is a small river in the city that surrounds half of the city, and the water of the river is crystal clear, because the winter in the west is humid and cold, but there is no severe cold in the east. So the river didn't freeze. Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and I heard that there are a lot of painting boats floating on the river. On the small bridge on the embankment, there are people putting lamps and praying for blessings. There were no vendors in the area, and there were no people living nearby, so it was not so noisy that people came and went for trysts or prayers. Miss, you'll love it. ”

Mo Yanxi nodded, and asked again: "You can ask Mingsang Nanke and Yingniang where they are going, and where do you want to go." ”

During the Shangyuan Festival, Mo Yanxi had long wanted to bring everyone to be lively, but now that he heard that there were so many interesting places, he made up his mind that it was better to let everyone go where they wanted to go.

When Xiangxue heard this, she said with a smile: "Nan Ke naturally likes a place with a lot of people, not to mention waiting until it gets dark, I have already taken Ming Sang to Zhenxue Street to play, as for Ying Niang, I heard that Su Dagongzi asked Ying Niang to visit the calligraphy master Gong Youhong in Feiyun Lane." As for the fan, I have to listen to what she thinks. ”

After speaking, the eyes of the two of them looked at the wind fan on the table at the same time.

"I... You can go anywhere. You don't have to worry about me, I want to go out on my own. ”

Feng Qi Fan said, Mo Yanxi and Xiang Xue glanced at each other, and instantly understood, she was like this, faintly, as if she was not interested in anything, only an opponent of equal strength could make her arouse a little emotion, it is estimated that Feng Qi Fan also knew, so he specially said that he acted independently, so as not to let others take care of himself.

Mo Yanxi smiled, took out a purse from his waist, put it in front of the wind fan, and said with a smile: "You take this, it's not easy to celebrate the festival, since you go out to play, don't come back empty-handed, everyone has some broken silver and buy something you like." ”

Feng Qifan stared at the moon-white purse on the table for a long time, and finally picked it up and carried it in his arms. Xiangxue kept staring at the movement here, and smiled and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

At that time, the sky was already completely dark, but the entire Cilu City could be said to be brilliantly lit, reflecting the river and the sky with bright and colorful colors.

Mo Yanxi and Xiangxue walked along a bluestone alley for a long time, and after about three quarters of an hour, they finally saw the Kong Ming lantern hanging on a willow tree in the distance, and the voice faintly came out.

The two walked another distance and walked out of the alley. The field of vision gradually widened, the small bridge and flowing water, beautiful, along the riverbank, every three feet apart, there is a small and delicate lotus lantern.

People come and go, most of them are in groups of three or five, in pairs, of course, you can also see some sad faces, with tribute incense lone people, should be here to pay tribute and pray for blessings.

The road here is only five or six feet wide, and only four or five people can travel in parallel. As far as the eye can see, there are indeed only a few small vendors selling lights.

The drums and sheng on the surface of the river, even though it is through the veil, you can still feel the joy inside.

Looking from left to right, you can see a small bridge every three or four zhang, lotus lanterns drifting along the river, passing by the accident at the bottom of the bridge, the bottom of the bridge is illuminated.

Look closely, the bottom of the bridge is actually carved an upside-down lotus flower, which complements the water surface.

"Miss, look at whether this place is quiet and magnificent. Speaking of which, when Wen Xi was in the time, I hadn't let go of the river lantern. I only heard my aunt say that this lamp will bring news to the person you have in mind. ”

Mo Yanxi nodded, and then led Xiangxue to buy a small paper boat lamp from a small vendor.

"I remember when you were a kid, you loved origami boats the most, and your mother would teach you how to make very tall boats. Since you haven't let it go before, let's put it on today and bring what you want to say to the person you have in mind. ”

Xiangxue listened, her eyes were slightly red, she nodded, and took the pink paper boat lamp in Mo Yanxi's hand with both hands.

The two found a riverbank, Mo Yanxi took out the candle and lit the lamp, Xiangxue carefully put the lamp into the river, and then folded her hands and said to herself: "May this boat bring the words I think in my heart to my aunt and Wanghua who are far away in the sky, as well as the unborn little master." Please rest assured. Xiangxue will definitely take your wishes with you in this life and always be by Miss's side. I will take good care of Miss, so that she will be safe and happy in this life, carefree, the revenge will be avenged one day, and please take a good look, if Xiangxue does something sorry for Miss, let Xiangxue split the corpse of the five horses, the sky will thunder and split, and she will never be able to live forever. ”

Although the voice was very subtle, it still reached Mo Yanxi's ears word for word.

Mo Yanxi's nose was sour, he bit his lip, and swallowed all the tears in his eyes.

After Xiangxue finished speaking, she closed her eyes and meditated silently for a while, and finally bowed reverently in the direction where the boat went.

Mo Yanxi watched the whole process, waited until Xiangxue opened her eyes, and said with a smile, "This is to be put in your heart, and it won't work if you say it." ”

When Xiangxue heard this, her expression changed instantly, and her anxious hands danced: "This... What can I do? What if it doesn't work, miss, let's go buy another one, this time I will meditate, and never say it! ”

Mo Yanxi was just teasing Xiangxue again, and when she saw that she was serious, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, I look at the front of me who seems to have bought colored paper, you write the secret in your heart, make it into a paper boat you like, and then put on the lamp, so that those people in the sky are easier to hear and see." If Mother, Wanghua sees your lamp, she will be very happy. ”

Xiangxue nodded, and said with an expectant smile: "Miss, then let's go buy colored paper, I want to buy a lot, all of them are made to look like my aunt taught me, so that she can recognize them at a glance." ”

Mo Yanxi smiled and agreed, and between bowing his head, a tear flowed down.

In the middle of the river wandered a small boat, all around which was covered with colorful brocade flowers, and in the center of the boat were some dried flower petals. Along the way, with a refreshing fragrance.

Supporting the boat was a beautifully dressed boy, with a delicate face, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, a small red flower on his sideburns, and his eyes always glanced at the shore from time to time. Seems to be searching for something.

Finally, the eyes of the prince in the middle of the river narrowed, staring at one place and not letting go.

Looking at it, the people on the shore were Mo Yanxi and Xiangxue who were concentrating on folding paper boats.

The boy smiled, and then shouted, "Hey! The beautiful scenery of the good day, do the two beautiful girls want to take a boat and go around, only charge three cents, absolutely no bullying! ”

Mo Yanxi heard someone shouting, looked up and saw this son, and politely refused: "Although it is a beautiful day, we already have a place we want to go in our hearts, so we won't sit on this boat." ”
