Prologue
On the 14th day of February in the Gregorian calendar, it is Valentine's Day again, a few days in advance, the love fairy came to the imperial capital Chang'an, and spent this sweet and warm festival with the knights of the Three Realms.
Just in time for the wax moon, it will be the Spring Festival in a few days, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are already full of festive red lanterns, and there is an endless stream of scholars, businessmen, and tourists coming and going in the city.
The New Year's Festival is the happiest time for children, not only to have New Year's money, delicious rice cakes and beautiful new clothes, but also to watch the celebration fireworks in the evening. But for adults, Valentine's Day, the last day of the year, is more of a favorite.
On this day, I heard that there was a love fairy next to the Bell and Drum Tower, who prepared some gifts for the people destined for the Three Realms, and also prepared sweet notes for couples.
The news soon spread all over the place, and the knights of the Three Realms rushed to go, and Chang'an City became more and more lively.
Different from the prosperity of the imperial capital, Taoyuan Village by the East China Sea, a red lantern is hung in front of every house, and the villagers are busy preparing items for the New Year, and the neighbors send some New Year's goods, which is lively but still quiet and peaceful.
In the small bamboo building at the head of the village lives a loving young couple, the young man is the son of the dragon clan, with noble blood, gentle personality, love and righteousness; As for the girl, she is a fairy transformed into a nine-day colored moth, lively by nature, simple and kind.
At this time, the fairy boy in white was sitting in the courtyard stroking the qin, his jewel-like eyes were deep and gentle, and he was playing the girl's favorite tune.
The woman in the blue dress has big blue eyes, smart and empty, blue hair tied on the top of her head, and the blue wings behind her flapping briskly, shuttling back and forth between the tall peach blossom trees, picking the peach petals stained with dew.
No, she just received the rice wine brewed by Aunt Liu's house, the signature sauce of Miss Xia's house, the fish that Uncle Xia just caught, and the blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets written by the rain painter himself, so she is also preparing to make some of the best potpourri cakes as a return gift.
At the end of the song, Xiao Zhen carried a basket full of flower petals and landed in the courtyard, and the sun shone through the lush peach blossom trees on the stone table under the trees.
"Husband, I heard that Sister Love is coming to the world again, let's go see if she is okay."
"Okay, it's just that these days coincide with the New Year's Day, and it happens to be Valentine's Day in the world, and there are too many people in the city who go to the fairy to make wishes and pray for blessings, let's delay for two days and then go to visit some friends."
Xiaoyu smiled dotingly, and selected fresh peach petals with Xiaoji.
"But I heard that Sister Love brought fresh things this year, and if I missed it, there would be no more, so I really want to know what kind of strange thing it is."
Looking at the longing in his beloved wife's eyes, Xiaoyu had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, okay, let's leave for Chang'an tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Xiao Zhen smiled sweetly and smiled happily.
At lunch, Xiao Zhen made delicious peach blossom soup, which is Xiao Yu's favorite food.
"Husband, how does the peach blossom soup taste this time?"
"It's sweeter than before, isn't there something to add?"
"No, but this time it's made with dew."
"No wonder, the taste is different from before."
"If you like it, I'll do it for you in the future."
"Okay, by the way, pack up in the afternoon and rest early in the evening, I have to hurry tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Xiao Zhen smiled playfully and kissed Xiao Yu lightly on the face.
The next day was still a good weather, and the couple set off as soon as the day dawned, after all, it was a long journey from Taoyuan Village to Chang'an City.
After tossing and turning for most of the day, I finally arrived in the south of Chang'an City, and there were more guards stationed at the gate of the city than in the past, and the red lanterns on the city wall added some joy to the heavy city wall.
As soon as I entered the city, I heard the familiar voice of the Chang'an tour guide.
"Welcome to Chang'an City, take a map with you, it's easier to walk in the city."
Speaking of which, he has always been a kind-hearted person, and many people who come and go every day ask him for directions, and he always answers patiently with a smile.
"Yo, you're coming back to visit relatives and friends, right?"
"Yes, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, I heard that the love fairy brought good things this year, let's go and have a look."
"Okay, thank you."
Walking all the way along the main street, every household has pasted fiery red couplets and big blessing characters, and many acquaintances are busy purchasing New Year's goods.
I was a little tired after a long day's journey, and it was getting dark.
"Lady, it's getting late, let's go to the Chang'an Hotel for the night first, and then go to the fairy tomorrow, there are so many people in the city this year, there may be no room if you go late."
"Hmm...... All right. ”
The Chang'an Hotel is also overcrowded, and the New Year is coming soon, and there are still many people looking for the shopkeeper to inquire about the treasure map.
"Boss, are there any rooms available?"
"Yes, yes, it just happened to be the last one, the two of them are rare guests, please go upstairs."
Xiao Zhen was lying by the window, and when he was almost there, the street was still brightly lit and people were coming and going.
"Lady, it's not early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"Well, then, good night."
The moonlight is like water, intertwined with the prosperity of Chang'an City, but it has a unique charm.
I was woken up early by the sound of firecrackers, and the Spring Festival is approaching, and the smell of the New Year in the city is stronger.
At the entrance of the Chang'an Hotel, there were already many people gathered in front of the stalls of the fish market merchants, and fishermen from all over the world came here with fresh goods that had just been caught in exchange for silver taels.
The last deal of the year was enough to go home, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
The messengers of the divine beasts in front of the rooftop are always so radiant, and they always feel that they have their own light, and at this time, there happened to be a lucky knight who took away a lovely spirit deer from the messenger of the divine beasts, and others were so envious.
"I really want to have a divine beast, take it out with you."
The spirit deer obediently followed behind its master, and its owner was already smiling from ear to ear.
"There will definitely be in the future, just wait patiently, don't be unhappy."
“…… All right. ”
Saying that, Xiaoji's heart was still very unhappy, and her mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil pot.
"Okay, let's go, the fairy will be in line a little later."
Next to the bell tower of Chang'an City, there are already many people around the love fairy.
"Sister Love, long time no see."
"Long time no see, girl, are you living a comfortable life, you don't want to go back to the heavenly palace, the queen mother can miss you every day."
"No...... I miss my mother too......"
Xiao Zhen's blue eyes blinked, as if she was a little absent-minded.
"Girl, what's wrong? Got something on your mind? ”
"Hmm......"
"Xiaoyu, are you bullying our family? Beware of me going to my mother's complaint against you. ”
"That fairy really wronged me, the lady must still be thinking about the spirit deer that the young man took away just now."
"Girl, that divine beast came with blessings, it was given by Heaven to people destined for the Three Realms, if you have a fate with it, it will come to you."
"Really?"
"Of course, when did my sister lie to you?"
"Well, I'll just wait for it."
"By the way, Xiaoyu, Niangniang will marry Ezi to you, and you don't want to take her back to the Heavenly Palace to see during the New Year's holidays, Niangniang always said that she was going to talk to the Dragon King."
"The lesson of the fairy is that it is the younger generation who is negligent, and he must go this year."
"Since you're here, are you interested in taking a look? I brought a very special gift this year. ”
"What is it?"
"This is it."
The fairy of love took out a booklet, which contained some scattered words, and the content was incomplete.
"Well, I thought it was something pretty."
Xiao Zhen looked at the booklet, a little disappointed.
"Don't underestimate this booklet, the stories in it are not complete, but if you help me finish them, I will give you a gift that is exclusive to you, just once."
"Wow, that sounds interesting, husband, I want to go."
"Okay, then let's go check it out."
After receiving the little notebook from the fairy, the couple soon embarked on a journey.
"Have fun, record all the stories, remember to come back and get the gifts, not a single page is missing."
Looking at Xiao Zhen, who couldn't wait to pull Xiao Yu away, the love fairy hurriedly reminded.
I believe that this is destined to be an unforgettable journey for them.
