Twilight had just fallen, the moon was rising from the east, and Tung Wah Street seemed to be covered with a silvery veil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Fan took Shuying and a few people to the second floor of Yuqiong Building again and went to the private room where Zhang Bin was.

"Knock knock" A sound of footsteps came, Zhang Bin, who heard the sound, looked up at the door, and saw Liu Fan and the others coming to the private room under the guidance of Xiao Er, and suddenly had a smile on his face, and got up to greet him, "Brother Jimin!" Sister-in-law! You're here just in time, the lantern festival is about to start! ”

Liu Fan laughed, stepped forward and said, "Really?" So we came at the right time? Then let's take a look at the style of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Beijing! ”

Zhang Bin also saluted, "Brother Jimin, please sit down, the younger brother has prepared a little thin wine, the moon is full of ice wheels, drinking and watching the lights, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Liu Fan took Shuying's jade hand and came to the opposite side of Zhang Bin, sat opposite Zhang Bin, and said with a smile, "Such a beautiful day, I can have a few drinks with Brother Pengyuan, and there is a lot of fun in the world!" ”

When the two were chatting, Shuying looked out the window a little bored, but suddenly found that at this time, on a flat high ground on the street, a square city of lights was erected, majestic and brilliant, with lights and moons, and colorful. Turning around, he shouted excitedly, "Look! Brother Jimin, look! The lantern festival has begun! ”

Liu Fan and the two looked out the window when they heard the sound, at this time, Donghua Street did not know when, a mountain of lights made of lanterns had been erected, and it seemed to enter a sea of lights from a distance, and the fire lit by the lanterns penetrated the sky, illuminating the whole world almost as much as day.

"Bang Bang Bang" banged a few times, colorful fireworks shot from the ground to the night sky, then you saw the sky full of splendor, clusters blooming, such as fairies scattered flowers, meteor rain, colorful, endless patterns. Or such as the chrysanthemum Shu petal, from the outside in. Or such as the Pinghu stone strike, ripples and rings. Or such as the wonderful hand danqing, stretching branches and leaves, different flowers, different shapes, changing wonderful, pleasing to the eye, amazing for a while several people are shocked by this magnificent beauty, immersed in this picturesque and magnificent landscape, almost forget words.

"The fire tree and silver flowers are together, the iron lock of the star bridge is opened, and the lamp tree is illuminated. The bright moon came one by one. Zhang Bin looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window obsessively, muttering to himself, his voice was thin and almost inaudible.

Sookyoung sat by the window, and under the light of the fire outside the window, the girl's jade-like face became more and more exciting, exuding a thrilling charm. Liu Fan happened to see it, and he was dizzy unconsciously, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Liu Fan was a thief, so he couldn't help but pick up the wine glass on the table and take a sip to cover it up. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Bin on the other side who was already in tears at the moment, and he was surprised in his heart, and blurted out, "Brother Pengyuan!?" Why are you crying? ”

"Huh!?" The two of them, who were immersed in the beautiful scenery outside the window, were awakened by Liu Fan's words, and involuntarily turned their heads to look at Liu Fan.

Being glared at by the murderous eyes of the two, Liu Fan was a little weak-hearted, and said innocently, "Look at what I'm doing!" It's Brother Pengyuan who is crying, and it's not me! ”

At this time, Shuying noticed the tears in the corners of Zhang Bin's eyes, and exclaimed, "Ah! Zhang Gongzi, why are you crying? But is there anything difficult about it? ”

Zhang Bin unconsciously wiped the corners of his eyes, the coldness of the tentacles made him a little embarrassed, he took a sip of the wine glass, shook his head and said, "It's nothing!" It's just touching the scene and remembering some sad things! ”

Shuying asked even more curiously, "Touching the scene!?" Why did Zhang Gongzi cry for it? ”

Seeing this, Liu Fan shouted angrily: "Ying'er!! ”

Shuying saw Liu Fan angry, secretly stuck out her tongue, and said apologetically to Zhang Bin, "I'm sorry, Gongzi Zhang!" The concubine didn't mean to bring up your sad things! ”

Zhang Bin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's okay!" It's just some old things, since Mrs. Sister-in-law wants to hear it, it doesn't hurt for Peng Yuan to talk about it! ”

Zhang Bin picked up the wine jug and filled himself with a glass of wine again, and then drank it all before he spoke, "Last year's Lantern Festival was also as lively as today, or in this room, I ate rice balls with my mother and my little sister, watched the lanterns, and had a good time!" I didn't expect it to be today..."When it came to the general words, Zhang Bin's tone was a little choked, and unconsciously, he burst into tears again.

"Huh!? Is this your family dinner? Shuying couldn't help asking, "Then why did you invite us here today?" ”

Zhang Bin said with a bitter face: "After the Lantern Festival last year, I was sent to Nanjing on business, but I didn't expect this to become a farewell, and I couldn't rush back in time until Jiaci died." My little sister is resentful of me because of this, so I am the only one here today! ”

After a pause, Zhang Bin continued: "It was also an accident that I met Brother Jimin and his wife, and I thought that it would be a little desolate to watch the lantern alone, so I cheekily invited the two of them together, just to have more fun." Unexpectedly, I couldn't control my mood and made the two of them laugh! I'm so sorry! ”

Liu Fan also smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect this Zhang Bin to have such a bitter scene, and a festive festival couldn't help but be dyed with a hint of sadness. But when someone's mother died, he couldn't blame him, so he had to comfort him: "The deceased is gone!" Brother Pengyuan doesn't have to blame himself too much! Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory in the world, and there is no perfect thing in the world. Now that you have remorse, I'm sure your sister will understand your trouble! ”

Zhang Bin sighed: "I hope!" ”

The fireworks outside the window continued, but the three people in the private room lost their high interest just now, and quietly watched the lantern festival, Liu Fan and Shuying said goodbye to Zhang Bin and left quietly. After leaving, Liu Fan's original good impression of Zhang Bin in his heart almost disappeared, this Zhang Bin first invited them to watch the lantern festival together, and then staged a tragic scene himself, what is his intention? Is it trying to win his sympathy? This is too old-fashioned! It's okay for an ignorant girl, but it's impossible to win the sympathy of a really smart person! Anyway, Liu Fan won't eat his set!

After the Lantern Festival, it was Shuying who mentioned that she was going to get sick, because most of the people who were sick were women, so Liu Fan couldn't participate, so she had to send Shuying to Tianfu and let her participate with her mother and others. Originally, Liu Fan also wanted to see the grand occasion of all kinds of diseases. However, they were told that if a man was involved, it would be considered disrespectful, especially if he was a person of status, and that he would be ridiculed if he spread it.

Liu Fan had no choice but to dispel the idea of going down in person, and just took Xiaohu and others to hide on the street corner and watch in secret. Thousands of women dressed in white silk shirts walked out into the streets under the bright moonlight with candles in hand. Such a picture is unique in Daming. It's only once a year. Liu Fan, who was hidden in the dark, couldn't help but be amazed. (To be continued.) )
