Chapter 19: The Feast of Spices

On the morning of the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Meng Xingchen got up early to dress up and put on his favorite clothes, because he believed that no matter how busy his wife was, he would definitely accompany him to dinner today, and he wanted his wife to see his most beautiful side.

But from morning to noon until dark, the cold moon never appeared, and his eyes changed from anticipation to disappointment to despair.

He wondered if he had done something wrong. made his wife angry, so she didn't want to see herself? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he wanted to go to her and ask her clearly, as long as she was not angry, he was willing to do anything.

As soon as Meng Xingchen walked out of the door, the housekeeper came over and told him that Leng Yue told him to go to Fumanlou, and he ran desperately to Fumanlou. While running, I thought, no matter how my wife punishes me. As long as she's not angry!

When he came to the door of Fumanlou, it was dark all around, there was no light, he saw that the door of Fumanlou was open, so he walked in, and when he was about to speak, he saw a longing face appear in front of him.

She was holding a round object in both hands, with a candle or two stuck in it, a '16' shape. He sang a song he had never heard before. But the sentence in the lyrics is saying happy birthday to him.

He stared blankly at the person in front of him who made him think about it, and heard her say, "Happy birthday, little fool, blow out the candle, close your eyes, and make a wish for yourself!" This one is very smart. ”

He obediently blew out the candle, closed his eyes, and made a wish in his heart with the most pious attitude, and when he opened his eyes, red petals fell in the air, and a voice came from around, 'Happy birthday Mengxingchen!' From left to right, from top to bottom, the melody is repeated, and the center of the lobby is empty, but upstairs and downstairs and all around the lobby are full of people.

Seeing all this, Meng Xingchen cried with joy, tears flowed out desperately, as if he wanted to finish all the grievances of these days, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be stuck by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

Suddenly his lips were hot, he was kissed by Leng Yue, Leng Yue kissed very gently, she knew that he had been wronged in the past few days, but this matter had to be hidden from him, and she couldn't tell him in advance, she used her tongue to gently trace the shape of her lips, taste his beauty little by little, and pour all her thoughts about him these days into this kiss.

It wasn't until Meng Xingchen was out of breath that Leng Yue let go of him, Meng Xingchen opened his eyes and felt the light on the ground, he took a closer look, only to find that they were standing in a heart shape surrounded by candles.

He looked at Leng Yue and wanted to ask, but saw Leng Yue kneeling on one knee, holding a small box in his hand, the box was open, and there was a small round thing in it, and said to him, "Mengxing Chengongzi, I love you!" Now I propose to you, will you marry me? I will love you for the rest of my life! Love you! Take care of you! No matter whether you are poor, you will never abandon you, and you will live and die with you. Please let me know if you want! ”

Meng Xingchen tried hard to suppress his excited heart, nodded desperately, trembling his lips and kept saying, "I am willing... I do... I'm willing..."As soon as Meng Xingchen finished speaking, thunderous applause rang out around him.

Leng Yue smiled and put a ring on him, stood up, and said loudly, "Thank you, fathers and fellow villagers, thank you for taking the time to celebrate my husband's birthday and witness our love, in order to express gratitude, within three days, everyone will eat and drink in Fumanlou for free, now let everyone go out with me to enjoy the fireworks." After saying that, he took Meng Xingchen's hand and went out.

As soon as everyone walked out into the street, they heard 'Bang! ''Bang! 'Bang! The sound sounded, and flowers bloomed in the sky, lighting up the entire night sky, emitting colorful light, which was very beautiful!

Everyone was amazed and cheered when they saw such a beautiful scene, but soon, a more magical scene appeared for them, only to see the beautiful fireworks forming the four big words 'Happy Birthday' in the air. Although it disappeared in an instant, people could still see it clearly.

Everyone opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at the sky, forgetting to reflect for a while. The audience suddenly fell silent. But soon everyone cheered loudly for this magical scene,

Leng Yue hugged Meng Xingchen from behind and asked softly, "The gift I prepared for you, do you like it?" ”

Meng Xingchen was also stunned by this scene, and when he heard Leng Yue's voice, he nodded desperately, looking at the brilliant fireworks in the sky. Moved to say, "Yes, this is what I grew up with." The best and most beautiful gift I ever received. ”

Leng looked at him and said dotingly, "It's good if you like it, they all bloom for you,"

Meng Xingchen turned around and hugged Leng Yue tightly, and said affectionately, "Wife, thank you!" You've made me the happiest man in the world. ”

Leng Yue hugged him tightly, "I also thank you, it was you who made me the happiest woman in the world." ”

Meng Yuchen stood upstairs, looking at the two people who hugged each other tightly, with envy in his eyes, and a touch of sadness, and then looked at the bright fireworks in the sky. He turned around and left.

After the fireworks ended, everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Until Leng Yue's voice sounded, "Okay, everyone, please come in with me for dinner!" So the crowd walked into the Fuman Building while walking.

Leng Yue took Meng Xingchen to the box on the second floor, and saw Meng Yuchen sitting there wandering outside, not knowing what he was thinking, the indifference and sadness in his eyes were so obvious.

This made Leng Yue a little curious, who he was, what he had experienced, and why he showed such a look from time to time.

I didn't ask him about his origin before, first, I didn't have anything to let others have a plan, and second, I just made friends and friends, everyone has their own embarrassment and past, others don't want to say it, and there is no need to expose people's scars. But he made her feel a little heartache.

Leng Yue called him, "Yuchen, what are you thinking, you are so fascinated by it." ”

Meng Yuchen came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing." ”

Then he said to Meng Xingchen, "Happy birthday!" ”

Meng Xingchen smiled and nodded at him. Ran sat down with Leng Yue,.

While cutting the cake prepared for Meng Xingchen, Leng Yue explained to him the reason why she went out early and returned late in the past few days, from asking the master to carve the ring and making the cake herself. Furnishing the restaurant, she started producing fireworks two months ago, but she has to test the effect of fireworks these days. In order to give him an unforgettable birthday, everything was done under her personal supervision. So she spends a lot of time.

Apologetically said to him, "Because it was a surprise for you, I couldn't tell you in advance, so I'm sorry!" Let you be wronged. ”

Meng Xingchen shook his head after hearing this, making her so busy for herself, she was only full of gratitude and distress to her, "I'm not wronged, I just let my wife suffer." ”

Leng Yue scratched his nose and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not tired, it's my greatest pleasure to be able to do things that make you happy." ”

A piece was cut for each of them. "Alright, let's try the cake I made myself." I ate it myself!

Meng Yuchen looked at her like this, and the bitterness in his heart became even stronger, everything tonight made him unforgettable, he never knew that a woman could do such a thing for a man, and she might be the only one in the world who could do this.

She is so amazing, how can he let it go easily. But fate was not chosen by him. The imperial sister has already sent someone to pick him up. He had to leave. He often thinks that it would be nice if he wasn't born into the royal family, at least so that he could be by her side as a friend.

Looking at Leng Yue, enduring the grief in his heart, he tried his best to say in the smoothest voice, "Ah Yue, I'm leaving tomorrow!" ”

Leng Yue saw the reluctance in his eyes and comforted, "Don't look at me with such reluctance, if you have something, go back first!" Tell me, where do you live? I'll look for you later,"

Meng Yuchen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Is what you said true?" Are you really going to go to me? ”

Leng Yue smiled and said, "Of course it's true, you are my first friend in this world, I will definitely visit you, you!" You're always sad, and it's easy to get old and ugly. It's not a parting between life and death, believe me, we'll meet soon. ”

Meng Yuchen was overjoyed, it was really good, she said that she would come to her, which made the haze in his heart dissipate in an instant.

Leng Yue saw that his expression was a little better, and continued to advise, "Don't force yourself in everything, you have to learn to refuse people or things you don't like, and leave if you can't refuse, people have a short life, don't let those worthless things ruin your life." If you live in a place where people, things, and things make you unhappy, you can come to me, and I will take you to eat and play all over the world. We are eagles flying freely in the sky, horses running on the grassland, and walking freely across the mountains and rivers. ”

Meng Yuchen listened to his words, and his heart instantly brightened, and the whole person looked energetic. If he could really live like that, he was willing to give up all glory and wealth in exchange for the days of being by her side, and suddenly, he wanted to fight for himself. It was so hard, but he wanted to try it for her.

When Leng Yue saw him like this, she was also happy for him, and said to him, "Look at the way you look now, how beautiful you are!" Compared to the resentful woman type just now! I like you more now, in fact, your life can be decided by yourself, it just depends on whether you are reluctant to give up something! ”

Give him a small box, "This is a gift from me, and when you meet your beloved in the future, you will bring it to him, the ten fingers of the person are connected to the heart, the ring finger is centrifugal and close, the ring is circle-shaped, you put it on the ring finger of your beloved, it is equivalent to firmly entrapping his heart, you know?" ”

Meng Yuchen nodded, took the box with both hands, and held it tightly in his arms, this was a gift she gave to herself, and he would not bring it to anyone in this life except her.
