Chapter 101: Flames in the Sky
Su Jin blinked, thinking for a while and couldn't figure out where he had crashed, and was wondering where this was the trace, when he suddenly heard Fang Yuan shout in surprise.
"It's snowing!"
Snowing?
Su Jin's eyebrows and eyes were suddenly dyed with surprise, and she and Fang Yuan were alone, leaning against the window, stretching out their little heads, looking at the sky.
At this moment, it was late, the sky was dark and deep, and there was no sky and stars, and above the eaves, the crimson lantern cast a few warm lights, reflecting the snowflakes like silver threads, fluttering.
The stove looked at the evening breeze, and the snowflakes were on the evening breeze, falling on the eaves, the tips of the blades of grass, and the top of Su Jin's head.
Lu Jun didn't know when to step over, stretched out his hand to brush away the snowflakes above her head, and saw that Su Jin's little face was slightly red from the stove, and when she got closer, she could vaguely smell the aroma of peach blossom wine that had just been sprinkled on her body.
He was slightly stunned.
Peach blossom stuffing, carmine, snow on the eaves, wind in the heart.
For some reason, he felt a little flustered.
"Quick, make a wish!" Fang Yuan jumped up, his little hands were folded, his eyes were closed, and he was very reverent, "It's the most spiritual to make a wish when it snows!" ”
"When I grow up, I want to become the patron saint of Cloud City!" Fang Yuan had a broken thought, "I also want to protect my hometown bravely like adults!" ”
Su Jin touched his head and closed his eyes with a smile.
What do you wish for?
In the last life, she died early due to an accident, or wandering in a barren forest with all the leaves off, or wandering in the dark world, in the dark water, not knowing where to go.
And one day she finally returns to this world full of light, and she is extremely happy and cherished at the same time.
Catch the streamer, tie Fusang, fight for sorrow, but one day is long.
She didn't dare to ask for too much, she just wanted to stay in this world a little longer, a little longer.
She clasped her hands together and silently made a wish.
May the relatives and friends of the previous life be safe, and the three winters will be warm, and there will be no more worries about each other;
May the family of the Guogong Mansion be in good health, and when she returns, they will not be separated again;
May the people of Yuncheng - the war be harvested early, life will go on as usual, and there will be no more life and death.
She opened her eyes slowly, and suddenly heard a "bang" not far away, and the roof suddenly exploded full of stars, and fell down in a brilliant light.
"Fireworks!" Fang Yuan jumped up, "It's so good-looking!" ”
Su Jin patted his head and pointed to the pot that had been boiled on the table, "You can only choose one of the delicacies and fireworks." ”
Fang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he immediately rushed to the dining table.
Everyone laughed and sat down in this warm and steaming atmosphere, huddled on a small wooden table with their heads next to each other, and the crystal soup reflected the most sincere smiles on each other's faces.
Lu Jun sat aside, as if he was also infected by this warm breath, and his eyes, which had never been transparent, also brought the warmth of the fire, and gently sipped the peach blossom brew in his hand, letting the pink of the peach blossom climb up his cheeks.
He was a little drunk, his eyes turned around the room, and finally fixed on the girl beside him, who was buried in hardship, and smiled slightly.
"Eat, it's not spicy!" Su Jin saw that he didn't move his chopsticks much, so he used the chopsticks to pick up a piece of shabu shabu skin for him and handed it to his bowl, "Taste it?" ”
Lu Jun pinched the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them slowly, and then said, "Not bad." ”
"Haha," Su Jin immediately smiled, "Have you never tried such a way to eat?" Is it a new experience in life? ”
"Well, I haven't tried it, it's a new experience." Lu Jun looked at her and smiled, "Not only have I never tried to eat like this, but I have never tried to celebrate the New Year with so many people." ”
"Won't it?" Su Jin didn't believe it, "Your Lu family is also a big family in the capital, don't you have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together every New Year's Eve every year and keep a New Year?" ”
Lu Jun smiled slightly and lowered his eyes.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, keep the New Year.
It was something he had never touched.
His biological mother was just a prostitute, and after giving birth to him, she threw him in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion and disappeared, and his biological father was bent on power, and he didn't care about this concubine who came to the door by himself.
In his memory, when he was young, he nestled in the dirty old attic, and he had glimpsed such flowers in the sky, and he had heard the laughter in the dim lights in the front hall, but no matter how brilliant the colors were, no matter how warm the atmosphere in the room was, it could not compare to the cold leftovers and half a hard cake in his hand at that time.
That was the only reward he received after a day of working like a dog.
If you don't eat, you'll starve.
Therefore, what New Year's Eve and what New Year's Eve are all vain for him, and they are not as important as a mouthful of food.
Later, he met Xiao Yan, was brought into the palace by him as a companion, and also participated in the night banquet in the palace.
However, when I was really in that atmosphere, I suddenly found that I was out of place, and the rules and royal majesty in my eyes were pressed down, and it was better to spend a night in the attic.
So later, even if he was in a high position, he could become the protagonist in the banquet, but after seeing those hypocritical smiles and false compliments, he was no longer willing to be contaminated with the filth of this world.
seems to be easy-going, but everywhere is rejecting people thousands of miles away.
However, today, he is not the protagonist, nor is he an outsider, he was ordered to work by Su Jin, and even felt really disgusted by her, but he also felt extremely happy.
It seems that at this moment, he is finally no longer a loner watching everyone in the clouds, but has become the most ordinary person, and has the most ordinary joys, sorrows, and sorrows in life.
This is the only real warmth in the red dust that he has felt in this half of his life.
He squinted and took another drink.
In the past, it was very clear, but now only three points remain.
Lu Jun turned his eyes and looked at Su Jin, who was smiling and chatting with everyone, and felt that he had probably drunk too much wine, and he even had some extravagant hopes in his heart at the moment.
I hope that such warmth will accompany him every day and every moment of his future life.
He can collect medicine in the valley Yunluo, and she can play chess in the quiet courtyard and the window.
After eating and drinking, Fang Yuan walked on two more small short legs, brought artillery from the house, and ran out of the door with cheers.
"Come back, come back, it's so cold outside, isn't it cold if you wear so little?" Su Jin hurriedly grabbed him, "What about your new clothes, why aren't you wearing them yet?" ”
"It's not the new year yet, so you can't wear it!" Fang Yuan jumped around, his face was full of happy smiles, "I want to wear it again when the Gesang flowers are released in Cloud City, sooner or later!" ”
"My lord, let him go!" Fang Lan smiled softly behind him, "He has a tough body, and he is not afraid of freezing." ”
Hearing his sister say this, Fang Yuan immediately cheered, ran out like a rabbit, found a vacant lot and lit a fire there.
Su Jin leaned on the windowsill to look at him, and then looked into the distance with a slight smile.
At this moment, the lights of thousands of homes in Yuncheng are brilliant, and you can vaguely hear the laughter and toasts of people not far away, the sound of children playing, and the sound of hot soup churning in the urn.
The snow outside the window is still not small, and the full moon is like an egg yolk sticking to the window flowers, as if everything outside the house is stewed in an urn: there is solidified moonlight, clumping road snow, thin bald branches...... Everything is gurgling in a hot dream.
Fang Yuan happily raised the fire fold in his hand, pouted and blew it, approached the fireworks on the ground a little, and watched with anticipation as the tongue of fire lit the twist with a "bang", and got into the artillery battle, quickly "giggled" and laughed, and ran away with his little hand covering his ears.
"Bang!"
A bunch of fireworks rose from the ground, and rushed into the sky with a "whoosh", leaving a gunpowder smoke full of gunpowder smell, and rushed into the sky with a long tail, and exploded with a "boom", a piece of crystal brightness.
"It's the New Year," Su Jin smiled slightly and muttered in a low voice, which could only be heard by a passing breeze.
"Xiao Yan, Happy New Year!"
"Bang!"
"Your Highness, look," Ling Qi pointed to the flowers blooming in the distance on the vast wasteland, his eyes were delighted, and he turned back to the man behind him and spoke, "It's the New Year!" ”
"yes." The man stood in place, his voice soft, low that only the bright moon above his head could hear it.
"Happy New Year, Su Jin."
In the distant Great Wei Jinggi, in the Guogong Mansion, some people also raised their faces, their eyes were soft, and they smiled slightly at the sky full of ceremonial flowers.
"Happy New Year and early return."
The tone was also low, and only the snowflakes under the trees could hear it.
The ten years of Dawei Jingtai passed quietly, and the eleventh year of Jingtai quietly came.
Everyone is immersed in the joy of the arrival of this new year and has not yet realized that this year, which is destined to be extraordinary, has been sent to the front by the gears of history, silently and irresistibly.
Downstairs, Fang Yuan was still firing artillery battles, one after another, "bang bang bang" kept ringing, Su Jin and Fang Lan were sitting in the house chatting, and suddenly heard Fang Yuan in the courtyard shouting, "Come out and see", and immediately came to the window.
As soon as he looked over, he saw little Fang Yuan pointing to the sky not far away, and began to count down, "The Gesang Gift Flower is about to be released!" Ten, nine, eight, seven......"
Su Jin smiled and listened to him count down to "one", and with a "bang", he saw a beam of light suddenly rise in the city, flying into the sky with a "whoosh" and exploding with a "bang".
"It's beautiful!" Su Jin was immediately attracted, "It's really like a Gesang flower!" ”
She was very focused and her eyes were shining.
Lu Jun's expression on the side was soft, and he also looked at the fireworks.
Bunch-by-bunch, flower-by-flower, exploding beautiful patterns across the sky.
Everyone was fascinated and forgot all their troubles, as if at this moment, they saw the most beautiful scenery in the world.
After a long time, the flame gradually went out, leaving only white traces in the sky, Fang Yuan cheered "Happy New Year, everything is fine", and ran into the house to change into new clothes.
Su Jin also smiled and retracted her body, ready to sit back and continue chatting with everyone.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound in the air.
In the courtyard, Fang Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes were delighted, and he shouted loudly.
"And! There will be fireworks this year! ”
He stood on tiptoe happily.
"And?"
Fang Lan was a little puzzled, "In previous years, this was the end, but this year there is still one?" ”
Outside the window, the ceremonial flower seemed to be different, rushing straight into the sky but not exploding, but instead turning around and falling downward, making a loud stabbing sound in the air.
"Whoosh-"
This voice made Fang Yuan, who was rejoicing, suddenly a little puzzled, he stuck his head and opened his mouth slightly.
"Fang Yuan, get out of the way!"
Su Jin's smile suddenly froze, and he suddenly got up and rushed out of the door, shouting at Fang Yuan, who was still in a daze, and at the same time, Lu Jin suddenly raised his head and stretched out his hand to pull Su Jin.
This voice is not a salute!
But...... Artillery!
