Chapter 4: The Yang Brothers
Su Yan stopped, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw the two handsome sons coming one by one. One is wearing a blue straight shirt, and the other is wearing a moon-white shirt. When he got closer, Su Yan felt that his eyes were dazzled, a handsome color, and a stone like jade; A dignified and beautiful face, as if.
"Brother Yunqing." Su Yan was in a trance and greeted him with a smile.
"It's really fate to meet Ah Yan." Chu Yunqing touched her head, the corners of her mouth smiled, and her eyes seemed to be full of stars.
Su Yan covered his head helplessly: "A man's head can't be touched." Su Yan is still short-haired, this person doesn't know what's wrong, he always likes to touch her head, and he doesn't change it no matter how many times he says it.
"Who made you short hahahaha......" Chu Yunqing has just been promoted to Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, working under Shizi, the second son of the Lanling Chu family, Fengshen is handsome, young and promising, and a popular candidate for Kyoto Jiaxu.
"Third brother." The young man in the white shirt next to the moon bowed his head and greeted Yang Sanlang next to Su Yan.
"Three ......" Chu Yunqing seemed to have just seen Yang Sanlang, and was about to move, but was truncated by Yang Sanlang: "How did Shilang and Chu Ergongzi get together." ”
"Yang Sangongzi, I had an appointment with Meng Qi, I don't know where this kid slipped to, when I was wandering, I saw that Yang Sigongzi was surrounded by many women, and he seemed to be overwhelmed, so he took it upon himself to take the fourth son, this doesn't happen to meet you." The Sun family and the Chu family have been friends for many years, Sun Mengqi is a good name, and Mengqi is his word. This person is the last Jinshi, and he is now the Ministry of Works.
"Shiro goes out, as long as he shows his face, he will be able to go back with a handkerchief full of melons and fruits every time. I see, every time you cover your face, it's better. ”
"Third brother Mo made fun of me." Yang Shilang smiled.
The four of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Chu Yunqing introduced Su Yan to the two Yang families, so they made an appointment to wander together.
Out of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the four of them walked around the lantern festival at night, and tasted along the road, which was also quite interesting. Yang Shilang also ordered a flower boat and invited Su Yan and Chu Yunqing together, so the two of them also cheekily accepted the invitation and went on the boat to drink and admire the moon.
The lights on the riverbank are brilliant, and from time to time people put lamps into the river to send their sorrows. Accompanied by the sheng song on the boat, several people chatted while drinking. After drinking for a while, Su Yan came out of the bow of the boat to breathe. She leaned over the edge of the boat and looked into the river, the river at night was like flowing ink, and the original color could not be seen clearly under the shadow, and the river flowed quietly, allowing the world to be noisy and noisy, and it was only the oars that disturbed it. Su Yan wondered, is the Styx like this? There are lights floating on the river, mostly in the shape of lotus flowers, rippling into the distance with the water waves, and there are thousands of fireflies.
"Legend has it that the river lantern was lit to light the way home for the souls of the dead. The ghost is yin, and the water is also yin. Chu Yunqing came out at some point, sat beside her, and was folding a river lantern in his hand.
"What about the homeless lonely ghosts, isn't it very pitiful." Su Yan watched his plain white fingers fly, "I heard that on a river lamp, there is a dead soul, if the river lamp sinks, it means that this dead soul has forgotten his previous life and has been reincarnated." ”
"What if the lantern doesn't sink or docks?" Chu Yunqing folded the river lantern, put a candle flame in the middle without hurrying, and handed it to Su Yan in his palm.
"That means that the soul of the dead under the lamp has reached the other side, and has ascended to bliss." Su Yan took the lamp, leaned over, and gently threw the lamp to the water. "Actually, I don't believe in bliss."
Chu Yunqing looked at her inquiringly, not knowing what she thought, her eyes were bright. "For the deceased, it is always a kind of expectation. Thinking that they will no longer suffer from the suffering of the world, and that they can come back to see their relatives left behind in the world when they leave, and enjoy an offering, they drink Meng Po soup again when they leave, and they do not distinguish the past, or go to Bliss, or the six realms of reincarnation. Chu Yunqing said, his voice was as clear as a clear spring, "There is nothing bad about it." ”
Su Yan was silent, lying on the edge of the boat, and muttered, "Then what am I?" ”
"What?" Chu Yunqing didn't hear clearly, and looked at her.
Su Yan smiled at him and said softly, "It's nothing, go in and have a drink." So saying, he got up and lifted the curtain to enter the cabin.
Chu Yunqing grabbed her, "Wait, Ah Yan." Su Yan turned his head and raised his eyebrows, seeing him smiling, "Look." Following his gaze, Su Yan looked over and was momentarily stunned.
A sky lantern slowly rises, slowly and leisurely, fluttering upward, orange and red brilliance continues, under the dark blue night sky, the summer breeze is sweeping, the lights are melting, the eyes are full of starlight, and the bright moon hangs high.
Su Yan grabbed Chu Yunqing with her backhand and took a few steps towards the bow of the boat, she felt as if she was in the Milky Way, surrounded by stars. Su Yan tugged at Chu Yunqing's sleeve and breathed, for fear of startling the stars in the night sky.
"This is probably going to Bliss." When the bright light flew away, Chu Yunqing sighed softly.
Su Yan turned around and smiled at him: "This is Bliss." ”
Yang Saburo stood at the hatch of the ship, looking at the two of them as if they were thoughtful, Yang Shilang stood beside him, withdrew his gaze from the sky lantern, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and turned back. Su Yan let go of Chu Yunqing, patted his folded sleeve for him, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape." ”
Chu Yunqing touched her head again: "It's okay." Su Yan was embarrassed to protest again, so he raised his feet and walked to the cabin.
After entering the cabin, I saw the two brothers of the Yang family drinking together, and said with a smile: "Did you two see it, the sky lantern just now." Yang Shilang nodded, motioned for her to sit down, and refilled her with a cup of lotus dew.
"I've seen a picture book before, and when I saw that scene just now, I thought of what the book said, 'Flowers bloom all over the city for you, and three thousand lights for you', I think it's probably like this just now." Su An took a sip of lotus dew, the fragrance was fragrant, the entrance was sweet, and then he drank it in one gulp, still feeling the aftertaste, and took the bottle to add it himself.
"Flowers are blooming all over the city, and there are 3,000 ......bright lights," Yang Shilang pouted his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's more suitable for this scene during the Shangyuan Festival." At that time, there were not only river lanterns, sky lanterns, but also lanterns and fireworks, and it was more lively and beautiful than the Midyear Festival when the flowers were in full bloom in spring. ”
"If you like to be lively, let's see how it is next year." Yang Saburo glanced at Yang Shilang, took the conversation, and talked and laughed quite freely.
"Okay." Su Yan drank lotus dew, one after another.
"The lotus dew is delicious, don't neglect the dim sum in Linchun Building, Ah Yan, you taste it, let people grab the offerings of the Great Xiangguo Temple." Yang Sanlang pushed the dim sum in front of Su Yan, and Nunu gestured to her.
Hearing this, Su Yan almost coughed up the lotus dew, this Yang Sangongzi really remembered the offerings of the Great Xiangguo Temple. Su Yan didn't know if he was joking, or he took a piece of it, tasted it carefully, and praised: "It is worthy of the dim sum that has been opened in the Great Xiangguo Temple, not to mention the taste, I feel that after eating, the Lingtai is refreshed, refreshed, and full of strength." ”
Yang Sanlang Yang Shilang laughed when he heard this, Chu Yunqing couldn't hold back, and laughed so much that the wine in his hand was spilled.
Su Yan was a little dizzy, shrugged his shoulders, and said serious nonsense: "I feel like I'm about to go to heaven." With that, he closed his eyes and fell to the side.
