"Hmph." Xie Yaoguang glared at Ye Linchen for no reason, then snorted coldly, and after tasting the sugar porridge, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Your Highness is talking nonsense, how can the one who walks down from the painting be a fairy, naturally it is the demon girl who paints skin and bones." ”

"Yes...... How could a fairy come down from the painting......"

The farce at the porridge stall did not attract the attention of others, and they all put down a few copper coins and left in a hurry after drinking the porridge. came and went, and only Xie Yaoguang and Ye Linchen were left on the porridge stall. Xie Yaoguang looked at the old man who was still busy in front of the fire, sighed, took out a silver ingot from between his sleeves and put it on the table.

"Your Highness, let's go, it's not too early"

When the old man was busy and found the ingot of silver on the table, he was stunned, and when he looked around, he couldn't see the two people. I wiped my eyes to make sure that the silver really existed, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed if I didn't dream about it. What kind of good luck did I have today, and I was able to meet a living Bodhisattva.

No, no, no, it's not a living bodhisattva, it must be a fairy who came down from heaven to help these poor people. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow to the surroundings to thank the gods of the four directions.

By the time Xie Yaoguang and the others left Nancheng District, the noisy crowd on the street had almost dispersed. There are also a few lanterns scattered on some stalls, waiting for the last chance. If you can't sell it tonight, you may have to wait until next year.

"Brother and sister, buy a lantern and put it away...... a girl with a double bun stood in front of Xie Yaoguang with two lotus lanterns and whispered: "You and your brother will buy one by one!" The lotus lantern in our house can be effective, especially if the loving men and women put it together, they can grow old together. ”

Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but smile when he heard this, squatted down and pinched the girl's snow ball, and pretended to be serious: "Little girl, you know what it is to grow old with a white head at such a young age?" ”

"Yes, my mother said that being white-headed and always married is the most expected thing for lovers in this world." The girl replied with a laugh in a pretended mature look.

The words fell to his ears, Xie Yaoguang lowered his eyes, and covered the melancholy surging in his eyes. Growing old together can only be a luxury for her.

"But I'm not ...... with this brother."

"That's okay! After buying my lanterns, I can have a lover and eventually become a family. The girl blinked her eyes and mysteriously attached to Xie Yaoguang's ear and said, "Sister secretly told you, our family's lanterns have always been enshrined in front of Yue Lao, and they have a lot of aura." Good sister, you can buy these two lanterns, as long as five cents. ”

Looking at the girl's pitiful and mature appearance, Xie Yaoguang shook her head helplessly and touched the girl's head and smiled: "Little girl, if you tell my sister what your name is, I will buy your lanterns."

"Xiaoyan, my sister can call me Yan'er." The girl glanced at Xie Yaoguang and said timidly: "Sister, you can buy my lanterns now!" Xiaoyan wants to go back and buy sugar gourds! ”

As if he couldn't bear the girl's pleading, Xie Yaoguang took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yan, touched Xiao Yan's head again, and chuckled: "Give me the lantern and go home quickly." You can take this money and buy whatever you want......"

Seeing that Xie Yaoguang had given so much money, Xiao Yan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Sister, the lantern is enough for only five cents, and you can't use so much." My mother said that she couldn't ask for so much money for no reason, and my mother would definitely scold me if she found out. ”

"It's okay, let's go back." Xie Yaoguang took the lantern in Xiao Yan's hand and urged her to leave quickly.

"Goodbye, sister!" Xiao Yan put the silver away and shouted to Xie Yaoguang and the two: "Xiao Yan wishes my sister and brother to grow old together."

Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but laugh a little, looked at the two lanterns in his hand and sighed helplessly. When he got up and raised his eyes, he saw that Ye Linchen's expression was different, and a trace of helplessness floated in his heart.

"Your Highness, this lamp ...... Do you want to go with me and put it away? Xie Yaoguang hesitated for a moment and whispered.

“…… Let's go. Ye Linchen took a deep breath, took the lantern from Xie Yaoguang's hand, and walked towards the riverbank, "You can't brush that little girl's intentions." ”

The two of them half-knelt and put the lantern into the water, and watched the lantern drift away along the water, and the other lanterns gradually converged and merged, turning into a sea of lights during the period, and finally disappeared as far as the eye could see.

After the lantern drifted away, Xie Yaoguang got up and looked at Ye Linchen with an apologetic expression, "Thank you, Your Highness, for accompanying me to put the lantern, you don't have to take that girl's words to heart...... She only said that for the sake of selling lanterns. ”

"It's snowing......"

"Huh?" Xie Yaoguang raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and saw snow flakes floating sporadically in the night sky, all of which were scattered like salt.

I couldn't help but reach out to catch the snowflakes, but the snowflakes were only water-stained. I haven't seen the snow scene in Gusu for many years, and I don't know how long this snow will fall, and whether I will be lucky enough to see the grand scenery of the snowy Beijing.

"Miss."

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang turned around and saw Zhuo Jing holding her coat in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other, standing not far behind her.

"Well, Zhuo Jing, why are you here......"

"It's getting late, and it's snowing again. The subordinates saw that the young lady had not come back, so they came out to look for it. Zhuo Jing took a step forward, his eyes fell on the clothes on Xie Yaoguang's body, his eyes were slightly dark, and after draping the fur coat in his hand on Xie Yaoguang's body, he took off Ye Linchen's clothes and returned them, holding an umbrella in one hand and tying Xie Yaoguang's fur with the other, and said gently: "It's snowing, do you want Miss to go back first." ”

Seeing that the clothes were back in his hands, they seemed to be dyed with the cold fragrance on Xie Yaoguang's body, and the faint fragrance came to the nose and dried people's hearts for no reason. Ye Linchen's eyes darkened, and he looked at Xie Yaoguang's gentle side face, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Xie Yaoguang looked at Ye Linchen on the side and said, "Your Highness, it's snowing." Shall we go back together?"

"Okay."

By the time they returned to the restaurant, it had already sounded.

When Xie Yaoguang was about to step into the carriage and return to Xie's house, Ye Linchen suddenly stopped Xie Yaoguang and looked at Xie Yaoguang and said, "The plum blossoms in my house are blooming, Yaoyao, you can come to the house at any time to enjoy the flowers." ”

"Okay, I won't live up to the promise." Xie Yaoguang Shi Ran bowed his knees, and smiled mildly between his eyebrows, "I just hope that Your Highness won't nag me when the time comes." ”

Xie Yaoguang, who had just gotten into the carriage, lowered his eyes and a sigh overflowed on his lips. Brother Linchen...... Your aunt has long been unrecognizable, and it is no longer the aunt you remember. Words like "white-headed and old" are only suitable for the slender ones in your memory, as for the current Xie Yaoguang...... There is no qualification to expect to grow old together.

But the frost and snow cover the hair, probably can be regarded as a white head, right?
