In other words, it used to be a bridge, but the riverbed under the bridge has long since dried up, leaving only the Qingqiao, a stone arch bridge made of stones.

Qingqiao is rarely used today, and people in Jizhou prefer to walk closer and wider to the new bridge.

However, Qingqiao, as an old antique in Jizhou Mansion, is still preserved.

It took several years for the government to dig up the Xiaoqing River, attract living water, and fill the dry riverbed of the Qinghe River under the Qingqiao. It may be risky to build a house softly, so Lin Zhizhou took the initiative to plant fruit trees and crops, which added an income to the Jizhou government.

Song Lingyue ran to the head of the Qinghe Bridge with a lantern in one breath, and saw a three-story big banyan tree erected at the bridgehead, the trunk of the banyan tree was extremely thick, and it took three people to surround it to barely hold it, and it seemed that it had a history of at least a hundred years.

The banyan tree has a huge cover, and its dense branches almost obscure the starlight, casting a thick shadow under it.

Occasionally, sporadic light fell to the ground through the cracks in the branches, coating a layer of mottled and broken spots.

Song Lingyue was about to pass under the banyan tree, when the breeze came, something fell on the back of Song Lingyue's neck.

Song Lingyue's whole body was excited, and she was hairy, thinking that it was a snake or a caterpillar that fell from the tree, and hurriedly jumped and jumped in place, trying to shake the thing off her body.

A red ribbon fell in front of her with Song Lingyue's beating, and Song Lingyue bent down to pick it up.

By the moonlight, you can clearly see that in her hand is a red ribbon that has faded a little.

"How can there be a ribbon in a place like this?" Song Lingyue raised her head suspiciously, almost startled.

Under the canopy of the banyan tree, above the branches, densely tied with red ribbons, if it weren't for the fireworks blooming in the air with dazzling brilliance, illuminating this place, Song Lingyue would have been scared half to death by the falling ribbons.

The red ribbons in the darkness hung down, fluttering in the wind one by one, looking like they were full of snakes, which made Song Lingyue's heart furious.

Song Lingyue thought to herself that tying the red ribbon on the branch of the banyan tree might be the custom of Jizhou, so she stood on tiptoe and wanted to tie the red ribbon back.

As soon as Song Lingyue stood on tiptoe, a female voice came from behind her: "Don't! Stop it! ”

Song Lingyue turned around with the red ribbon, her eyes were surprised, she didn't expect to see an old acquaintance again.

The woman in front of her also narrowed her eyes, recognized it for a while, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be you." ”

It was the two girls wearing red and green shirts that Song Lingyue met on the side of Xiaoqinghe before, but she didn't expect the two of them to be so fast, and they had already finished the river lantern to catch up with her.

"Hey, it's really the girl I just met in Xiaoqinghe! It turns out that you have found Qingqiao, and Sister Ming and I are still worried, you are not familiar with life, don't go the wrong way again! "The woman in the green Luo skirt stepped forward very well, and her attitude was kind, which made people feel good at first sight.

"Two girls, meet again." Song Lingyue also returned the salute with a smile.

"Don't scream, girl. Today's Flower Dynasty Festival, it is really fate to meet you twice. My name is Liu Yu, and this is my friend Ming Yue, Sister Ming. Liu Yu quickly introduced herself and Ming Yue to Song Lingyue.

Ming Yue is a little bigger than Liu Yu at first glance, and her posture is also a lot more calm and dignified, she just bows her head slightly, and even the angle is just right, and she looks like a lady.

"Miss Mingyue, Miss Liu Yu, in Xia Song Lingyue, I have seen two girls." Song Lingyue helped the two of them.

As soon as her name blurted out, Liu Yu's eyes immediately lit up:

"So you are Song Lingyue? I've heard of you! I didn't expect to see you today, it's really fateful! ”

"Heard of me?" Song Lingyue pointed to the tip of her nose.

"Yes, aren't you the first female doctor in our Jizhou Mansion to obtain a doctor's qualification? Since you went to the medical bureau to get the certificate of medical qualification, your name has become a household name in Jizhou Mansion. Liu Yu explained to Song Lingyue.

"Sister Ming, I really didn't expect her to be so young and look as old as us." Liu Yu turned her head and said to Ming Yue beside her, but her eyes kept looking at Song Lingyue.

"By the way, I was trying to tie this red ribbon just now, why did you stop me?" Song Lingyue asked the two of them with the faded red ribbon in her hand.

Liu Yu and Ming Yue glanced at each other, Ming Yue cleared her throat, and her phoenix eyes swept over the red ribbon in Song Lingyue's palm:

"Your red ribbon looks very old, it must have fallen from the banyan tree, right?"

Song Lingyue nodded.

"You are not from our Jizhou, so it's not strange that you don't know our customs here." Ming Yue walked under the banyan tree and stroked the boring bark of the banyan tree, "This banyan tree is a famous marriage tree in Jizhou Mansion, every time the flower festival is held, single women will tie red cloth strips under the banyan tree." When the red cloth fell from the branch by itself, it represented that the marriage was coming, and Hongluan's heart was moved. If you tie the strip of red cloth back again, you will have ruined your marriage. That's why we're in a hurry to remind you. ”

"I see." Song Lingyue suddenly realized, and said in her heart that the custom of asking for marriage in this series of cloth strips is really old-fashioned, and if the cloth strips are dropped, it means that the marriage is coming, which is also too ridiculous.

However, these strips of cloth carry these women's beautiful yearning for love, and it is a little romantic to think about it.

"And what should I do with this strip of red cloth?" Song Lingyue was holding the red cloth strip and had no idea for a while.

"Do you see the stone pier over there? Tie the fallen strips of red cloth to the pillars of the stone piers, and you're good to go. Liu Yu pointed to the stone pier of the Qingqiao not far away.

Song Lingyue looked at it, and then found that the stone piers of Qingqiao were all tied with red ribbons, one on top of the other, which was even more terrifying than the red ribbons on the banyan tree behind her.

"It is rumored that as long as the fallen red ribbon is tied to the stone pier of Qingqiao, the pair of lovers will grow old together and fall in love forever!" Liu Yu held her cheeks, her face full of anticipation.

"I wish my red ribbon would fall off soon!"

Liu Yu looked up to find the red ribbon she had tied under the canopy before, but she didn't find the one she had tied before, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Why didn't you seem to find my red ribbon?" ”

"Why, didn't you drop a tassel on the red ribbon? It should be easy to find. Hearing this, Ming Yue hurriedly raised her head to help Liu Yu find her red ribbon.

Song Lingyue raised her hand to take a closer look, and there was really a tassel tied to the tail of the red ribbon in her hand, and the word Liu Yu was embroidered on the red ribbon with silver silk thread.

"Ahem, your red ribbon may be this ......" Song Lingyue unfolded the ribbon in her hand.

Liu Yu recognized it at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it, but retracted his hand.

"Isn't that your red ribbon?" Song Lingyue asked suspiciously.

Liu Yu nodded, turned his finger, and whispered, "After the red ribbon falls, the person who found it must be tied to the stone pier of Qingqiao." ”

Then he looked at Song Lingyue pleadingly.

Song Lingyue smiled, walked to the pier full of red ribbons with strips of cloth, and tied the red ribbon to the stone pier in front of Liu Yu, and was afraid that it would not be firmly knotted.

"Thank you!" Liu Yu hurriedly thanked Song Lingyue.

Song Lingyue shook her head lightly: "I want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I would be able to find Qingqiao." Okay, I'm going to find my friend, I'm out of company. ”

Song Lingyue picked up the peach blossom lantern placed at her feet and smiled at the two, turned around and ran quickly in the direction of Qingqiao.

There were more people gathered on the bridge than she had imagined, and most of them were girls alone, carrying lanterns with flower patterns or patterns in their hands.

Every girl seems to have a faint expectation on her face, anxious and apprehensive, how does that look like a girl Huaichun, it doesn't look like she is looking forward to a fireworks show at all.

Song Lingyue smoothly squeezed through the crowd and stood at the top of the Qingqiao, holding the bridge railing and looking around, looking for Qi Mo or Liu Liang.

However, there were too many people on the Qingqiao, and Song Lingyue was about to fall off the bridge.

It's not that she didn't call the names of Qi Mo or Liu Liang, but the sound of the fireworks exploding was so loud that it easily covered up her voice.

Song Lingyue slammed on the bridge railing in annoyance, and her smashed palms were faintly painful.

Song Lingyue wanted to look around, but she was afraid that she would lose her way again, so she could only stand on the bridge honestly and look up without intention of watching the dazzling but fleeting fireworks in the sky.

Song Lingyue held the stone fence with her arms and cheeks in her hands, looking up at the fireworks scattered all over the sky.

Colorful fireworks soar into the night sky together, like fire trees and silver flowers, blooming in the night sky, scattering in all directions, and the shimmer pierces the night sky, which is more dazzling than the stars.

Her inky eyes reflected the light of the fireworks, and her flawless side face became more three-dimensional and bright under the illumination of the fireworks.

Song Lingyue turned her head sideways, she blinked her eyes twice, thinking that it was not her own illusion.

I saw that at the other end of the bridge, Qi Mo was walking towards her wearing a moon-white round-necked robe with a silver neckline and embroidered with auspicious clouds.

The fireworks took off at this time, illuminating the entire Qingqiao and Qi Mo's handsome face.

The black hair is high, with a jade crown hair, revealing a smooth and full forehead, the thick black sword eyebrows are towering into the temples, the narrow phoenix eyes are slightly raised, the eyes are dull, and the bottom is not visible, but it is like a deep pool, and it is easy to absorb the soul.

Under the high bridge of the nose, the thin pink lips hooked the arc that seemed to be nothing, and the just right smile added a touch of nobility and mystery to his handsome face carved by the magic axe.

Moving his gaze downward, his jade white hand had distinct knuckles, carrying a paper lantern with a dense peach blossom pattern.

A faint halo of light peeked through the paper lantern, gilding his delicate face with a layer of broken gold.

Song Lingyue was a little stupid for a while, she looked at Qi Mo in front of her stupidly, as if she had just met him for the first time.

The deep and charming eyes were firmly locked on her face at this time.

Through the light of the fireworks, Song Lingyue could almost see her own reflection in Qi Mo's seductive black pupils, which was so clear, as if it was about to be imprinted into the hearts of the two people.

Song Lingyue only felt a burst of heat on her face, a feeling of congestion, and her head became wooden.
