Previous Chapter

There is a cowherd and a weaver girl in the sky, and there is a golden boy and a jade girl on the earth.

Heaven and earth, see each other on Tanabata, in this life and in the past life, sleep together.

……

"Mother, mother, why is it so lively outside? There are a lot of pedestrians in pairs..."Xuanye suddenly ran in from outside the door, panting, and his little face was flushed.

Glancing at Xuanye, Shen Yan sighed, beckoned Xuanye to come to his side, and asked him to sit on his lap.

"Because it's a holiday today...... So it's supposed to be lively. Shen Yan touched Xuanye's head with a smile on his face, but his heart was bitter.

A couple of stinky men, who haven't been back for a few days, have no news at all... Could it be, there's a woman out there, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Yan was extremely disappointed, but fortunately, at least, Xuanye was still with her.

"Holidays? What kind of holiday? Xuan Ye looked at Shen Yan brightly, with an innocent and curious expression.

"It's a festival for couples~ It's like a festival with a relationship between a mother and a father." Shen Yan held his chin with one hand, extremely melancholy.

"Can't you kiss your mother at night?" Xuanya blinked, pouting in question.

"Poof... You kid! No, you can't! Shen Yan couldn't help but shake his head, "There is a legend about this festival, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Think about it!" Xuanye looked at Shen Yan expectantly, supporting his face with both hands, so cute.

"Ahem, I'll start talking about it then..."

"This festival is called Tanabata. It is an exclusive festival for couples. On this day, they exchange gifts, as anniversaries, and so on.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was an orphan named Cowherd who lived with his brother and sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law treated him badly, and gave him nine cows but asked him to bring ten back, otherwise he would never go back.

When he was depressed, he got the guidance of an old fairy and found a terminally ill old ox on the mountain.

He took care of it carefully, only to learn that Lao Niu turned out to be the Taurus in the sky and was beaten down to the mortal world, and the Cowherd successfully brought him home.

Later, under the guidance of the old cow, that is, the Taurus who was beaten down, the cowherd found the place where the fairies took a bath and played, and picked up the clothes of one of them, and the name of the fairy was Weaver Girl.

The two met because of this, went through all kinds of experiences, and fell in love again, and later gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus. Due to the violation of the rules of heaven, the Weaver Girl was taken back to the heavenly realm by the Queen Mother.

At this time, Taurus knew, so he made a special trip to find the Cowherd, and instructed the Cowherd to make leather into shoes and wear them after he died, so that he could soar through the clouds and fog and cross the heavens.

Later, the cow died, and the cowherd peeled off the cow's skin and made cowhide shoes as instructed. Putting on cowhide shoes and driving the clouds, the Cowherd finally lived up to the hardships and went to the heavenly realm, and was about to reunite with the Weaver Girl, but was blocked by the Milky Way changed by the silver hairpin on the head of the Queen Mother.

The magpies in the sky were moved by their loyal love, disobeyed the order of the Queen Mother, and quietly and voluntarily turned into a "magpie bridge" for the Cowherd to cross. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were finally reunited.

The Queen Mother later found out and was a little moved, giving the couple a chance. It is destined that on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year, the two can meet at Queqiao. So the Qixi Festival came because of this.

After that, every year on Qixi Festival, the Cowherd put the two children in the basket alone and picked them up with a flat pole, put on cowhide shoes and flew to the sky to reunite with the Weaver Girl, which became a good story for the ages. ”

"Wow! The Cowherd must like the Weaver Girl very much! Overcoming thousands of obstacles, just to see her! Xuanye looked at Shen Yan with tears in his eyes, and sobbed his nose.

"Don't be separated from your mother at night! Not a chance at all! No one can stop it! ”

In order to commemorate them, the descendants also made a special poem -

Morning Glory, the Han Girl of the Bright River.

Slender hands, zaza lanes.

All day long, sobbing is like rain;

The river is clear and shallow, a little different!

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent. ”

"Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent..."Xuanye whispered, distracted.

At this time, Xuanye's Xuanshui jade lit up, and Xuanye quietly glanced at Shen Yan, only to see that Shen Yan's mind was not here, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting the water jade to his ear, Xuanye nodded solemnly, and whispered solemnly: "Okay, I know." ”

Putting down the Xuanshui Jade, Xuanye looked at the sky outside the house, and it was already dark.

Just about!

"Mother, it's so late, it's still so lively outside, and I want my mother to take Ye'er to play at night!" Xuanye shook Shen Yan's arm like a coquettish.

"Huh...?" Shen Yan came back to his senses, looked at Xuanye with an expectant expression, and looked at the sky outside.

With her ability, she can't do anything anyway, so just let him be.

"You little devil."

……

Out of the street, Shen Yan sighed at the prosperity of the capital, and the lights were bright.

The stars in the sky were dense and busy, and they were silent, and it seemed that the sky was bustling.

A comb of the moon is like a girl who has not grown up, but she is no longer shy when she sees people, and the light and outline are fresh and dewy.

Xuanye took Shen Yan to go shopping, and took a look, and bought some toys by the way.

When Xuanye pulled Shen Yan to a spacious river, Shen Yan became more and more puzzled:

"It's lively on the streets, don't you want to have fun? Why are you here, it's not fun here, it's dark and cold. ”

Xuanya blinked and smiled mysteriously. Suddenly shook off Shen Yan's hand and ran towards the darkness.

"Alas!" With his hands empty, Shen Yan frowned, "What the hell..."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion resounded through the sky.

Shen Yan looked up, and was suddenly dazzled by the crackling sound in the sky, and the incomparably gorgeous fireworks of all colors, "This... It's so pretty..."

At this moment, a small cluster of light on the other side of the river gradually grew larger and larger like the brightest star in the night sky, until it was a few feet in size, and from the other side of the river, it spread out like a glittering silk to its side.

Suddenly, the surrounding fireflies seemed to have been deliberately collected and suddenly released, and the little crystalline fluorescence spread all over the world.

Shen Yan looked at this scene in a daze, his heartbeat was uncontrollable, and he jumped up quickly.

She looked closely at the other end of the "colorful river", and the two figures became clearer and clearer.

On the other side of the river, two brilliant and dazzling figures, like the legendary gods, fluttered in their clothes, slowly coming to her on the "colorful river".

A silver and a purple brilliance reflect each other, like a dream.

"Do you like it?" "Is it pretty?"

The two of them spoke at the same time, observing Shen Yan's expression.

Shen Yan looked at the two most important men in her life at this moment, her eyes were bright, as if they were shining with stars, and she looked at her reaction expectantly.

It turns out that this is the reason why it has disappeared for so long......

Shen Yan didn't know what words to use to express the complex emotions in his heart at the moment.

"He and I have been preparing for this luminous feast for a short time, do you like it?" Liyuan's whole person was illuminated by the jade-like fluorescence, like a dream.

"I..." Shen Yan's eyes were red, and the curvature of the corners of her lips represented the thoughts in her heart, "I like it very much..."

"But I... I like you even more. Li Yuan and Bai Jingchen, whose face was cold in the past, but now he was soft and unspeakable, spoke in unison.

Shen Yan touched the teardrops that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes, plunged between the two of them, hugged them, and his choked voice was extremely happy:

"I had a dream in my previous life, and I have you in this life, which is the blessing of my cultivation in several lifetimes."

"Mother, there is still me in this life!" Suddenly, a small person squeezed into the middle of the three, with a look of indignation.

Shen Yan burst into tears and laughed, "Yes... And my night. ”

"Wow, you see that family of four is so happy!"

Suddenly, the originally quiet place became lively, and at some point, the crowd here became more and more, as if they had come to see the brilliant fireworks in the sky, but they were seen with sharp eyes.

"Let's have a lot of children in the future, okay......"

The crowd next to him was endless, but the noisy sound couldn't spoil Shen Yan's good mood at the moment.

Thank you very much for staying with me.
