Yu Zidu nodded, and immediately picked up his pen and inscribed the eight lines of poetry that the two of them said on Kong Ming's lamp, "Since you and I have our own words, why don't we inscribe them together." Originally, it was from a poem, separated, the charm was reduced, and it was better to put it together. ”

Qing Dai looked at the flying and elegant handwriting on the paper, and muttered vaguely, "The questions are all inscribed, do you still explain the plan?" ”

"Come, there are a few more here, you can't finish painting alone, why don't I paint for you?" Yuzi put down his pen and glanced at the lanterns in the courtyard that had not yet been drawn and inscribed, and roughly calculated, there were about twelve or thirteen.

Qing Dai smiled and shook her head, "Brother Long is a guest, how can I, as the host, work hard for the guests?" ”

But Tao Huā reminded in a whisper on the side: "Girl, Ming'er is the sixth day of the first month, let the prince take a hand, and I will be able to finish the painting tomorrow." ”

Qing Dai hesitated, and Yu Zidu said again: "You call me a big brother, how can I be a big brother, how can I let you suffer alone?" Isn't painting difficult for me? The scenery in this Zhuangzi can be painted, and a few lanterns can be painted. ”

Yu Zi was enthusiastic, Qing Dai was not easy to refuse, anyway, she was happy to have someone to help, nodded and promised, and divided five with him.

In the evening, Mo Zhe cleaned up the chuáng shop and called Yuzi, who was still painting under the lamp, to rest, "Shizi, rest early, and paint again tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry, finish this painting and go to sleep."

Mo Zhe walked to the bookcase, took off the lampshade, trimmed the wick with scissors, and glanced at it by the way, and saw that on the lantern under Yu Zidu's hand, a large part of the picture was Tian Tian lotus leaves, and there were two budding lotus huā between the leaves, and the girl sitting alone by the water only occupied a corner, but it was the most eye-catching, she knelt on the lotus pond and frolicked, the smile on her face was pure and lovely, just like the new lotus with a shy lù beside her. The girl is extremely delicately drawn, from the clothes to the facial expressions, and even the shallow smile of the chún corner is very well described.

"Shizi, you haven't painted for a while." Mo Zhe looked at the person on the painting carefully, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and after remembering who it was, he smiled clearly, and pretended to come to the bookcase to tune for Yuzi, "Shizi, the Qingdai girl you painted is the same as a real person, and when she sees it the day after tomorrow, she will like it."

Yuzi was silent for a long time, and after finishing the last stroke, he raised it and looked at it carefully, nodded, looked at the girl in the painting, and gently hooked the chún corner, "You said she would like it?" ”

Mo Zhe grinned and replied, "Yes, it will." This is a painting by you, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a heart in this painting. Miss Qingdai is such a smart person, how can she not see it? ”

Yu Zidu did not refute Mo Zhe's words, which made Mo Zhe more and more sure of the thoughts in his heart, it seems that the prince has taken a fancy to Miss Qingdai.

"There's no movement in the yard next door?" Yu Zidu moved his somewhat sore wrist and asked softly.

Mo Zhe put the lantern aside, "General Chan will go out in the morning." ”

Yuzi raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "You haven't come back yet?" ”

Mo Zhe shook his head, "I went outside to see it just now, the light was dark in the house, and I didn't want to go back to Zhuangzi today." ”

Yu Zidu looked out the window and whispered, "Strange, what has he been doing for most of the day?" ”

On the second day, she also painted in the courtyard for a day, and finally finished it before the seventh day of the new year.

At night on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Qing Dai called the servant fù of the village to move all the Kong Ming lanterns in the courtyard to the edge of the river, sat in the old lady's house for a while, and then went to the predetermined place, only to find that Yuzi had already arrived first.

"Brother Long, when did you come?" Qing Dai looked at the Kong Ming lantern placed under the tree on the side, and said embarrassedly, "I've kept you waiting." I just said that I wanted them to go to your yard to carry the lights, so you sent them first. ”

"Just a moment by the river walked, just now Mo Zhe and the little guy made a move, it didn't take much trouble." Yuko smiled and replied, "When are you going to start putting it?" ”

"Well, wait a minute, Momoha is here, let's go."

Qing Dai looked in the direction of Zhuangzi, why didn't she come back after secretly paying Tao Huā for so long?

"Is the old lady coming?"

"Grandmother, she is old and afraid of the cold wind at night, so she won't come out."

The two chatted with each other. After a while, Tao Huā hurriedly ran back, and saw that Yuzi was talking to Qing Dai, so he didn't go up to reply, and when the two finished talking, they went up, leaned into Qing Dai's ear, and whispered a few words.

Qing Dai pouted, "People are not there?" Then forget it, anyway, the words have already been brought. Let's start, peach huā, take the fire fold, let's light the lamp and put it slowly! Brother Long, come, let's put it together! ”

Yu Zidu was holding the lamps painted by Qingdai and looking at them one by one, and when he heard her shout, the leader said, "Well, it's here." After speaking, he took a lamp from his hand and handed it to Qing Dai, "You come first." ”

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yuzi handed it to Qingdai and it was the picture of the girl playing in the lotus pond he painted last night. Qing Dai took a look at it and was stunned for a moment, the girl in the painting was clearly herself, but the scene in this painting was in Tanzhe Temple, because when she met him that day, she was wearing a dress that seemed to be blue sè, and he still remembered it, "Why didn't you order?" ”

The night breeze was slightly cool, and the gentle voice of the man behind him recalled Qing Dai's thoughts, looking back at him, in the melting firelight, the shallow and gentle smile seemed to have an intoxicating warmth.

Qing Dai closed her gaze, looked down at the Kong Ming lantern in her hand, and smiled slightly, "I saw that Brother Long estimated that he painted so meticulously, and he couldn't take it back when he released it later, it's really a pity." ”

"Let it go, if God makes my wish come true, I hope it can go up to the high heavenly palace and never look back." Yu Zidu's voice was as soft as water, and he looked at Qing Dai's eyes with expectations, "If you like it, when you return to the capital, I will draw another picture for you." ”

"Hehe, why is it always troublesome to get into trouble with Big Brother Long? Let's hurry up! Peach huā, come and help me hold on, I'll light the fire. ”

Qing Dai haha distracted Yu Zidu's words, let Tao Huā hold the lantern, and lit the oil-soaked linen cloth in the center of the bamboo scorn with a fire fold, as the heat in the lampshade accumulated, the lamp body floated gently, and the smile on the girl's face on the lamp gradually faded away.

Everyone moved, and the lamps were put out one after another, and under the blue night, the lights that flew higher and higher, countless points of light reflected the sky, and the originally sparse starlight seemed to be lit up by this little bit of tiny and warm light, and gradually showed bright clothes. Those Kong Ming lanterns that carried good wishes turned into a little bit of light and finally merged into that piece of starlight.

"The last two lights." Tao Huā pointed to the last two lamps and reminded Qing Dai, "Let's put this one first!" ”

"Qingdai, you can put it all! I'll take it for you, you can get some. Yu Zidu is always gentle and polite, and always seems a little alienated when getting along, tonight everyone has a good time, he seems to be a lot more relaxed, and takes the initiative to put the lights on with Qingdai.

"Okay!" Qingdai had a good time and agreed casually.

Yuko took the lamp from Momohuā's hand, and it was the "Simeng".

The familiar scenes in those memories seem to be back in my mind, Qingdai's fingers gently brushed those familiar buildings, sighed silently, lit the fire, only looked at the lamp and disappeared, only to retract my gaze, I am gone, I hope that everything is fine for the people who stay!

"Where's the last one?"

"Here, here." Momo Huā smiled brightly, not to mention how bright it was, "Shizi and the girl let's put it together!" ”

Qing Dai was surprised, and after seeing the lamp in Tao Huā's hand, she couldn't help but twitch at the corner, this Nizi couldn't figure it out, the rebellion at the two ends in three days, who was from the same country as her?

"Yo, what a coincidence, it's this one!" Yu Zidu looked at Qingdai with a smile, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "There is a beginning and an end, the first light released today is from my hand, and the last one is still me."

Please! ”

Qing Dai sneered and glared at the lively Tao Huā next to her, "Okay!" ”

Watching the last light fly into the sky, Yu Zidu's green eyes reflected the distant points of light, and he stood beside Qingdai and whispered: "Yuan Xi watched the fireworks with you, and the time when Qixi put the lights with you is really unforgettable!" ”

Qing Dai folded her hands, closed her eyes, and made a wish to the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, Yu Zidu's voice drifted into her ears like a night breeze, and her heartstrings seemed to be plucked by Liáo, and the beating rhythm accelerated.

The night was dark, the starlight was fading, and those Kong Ming lanterns had gone.

A shy crescent moon finally came out of her face, and the light and gentle silver light paved out towards all things on the earth, just when the night was hazy......

Qing Dai avoided Yu Zidu's sight and looked at the sky, all of which were caused by the night!

On the hill not far away, the melodious flute swirls gently, there is no clear sound, only a tactful low return, but it seems to have a faint bitterness, endless thoughts and indelible affection... The sound of the flute is quiet, and it has not spread far, but under the shallow falling moonlight in the wind, a lonely figure like snow stands there facing the night wind, next to him is a Kong Ming lamp that has been extinguished, the lamp body is full of holes, the pattern on it has been blurred, and the only clear thing is the word "dream" with endless thoughts on a corner.

The flute fell, and the tail note of the soothing voice was like a long sigh "General, these lights...... Do you still want to put it? ”

Put it?

Don't let go?

Looking at the pair of people standing side by side at the foot of the hill, listening to the bursts of laughter and laughter brought by the wind, ............... what a harmonious and complete picture, which makes people can't bear to break!

"No, I'm going to go back to Beijing overnight. These lights, stay here for now! ”

"This is leaving? Don't say hello to Miss Qingdai? ”

Silent.

"Let's go back, say hello and go!"

After a long time, a soft sigh came from the wind.

"It's okay, I've lived in Zhuangzi for so long, and I'm tired of being taken care of. Always say to the old lady, don't be rude. Let's go! ”

Two figures vanished into the knoll.

In the distance, Qing Dai was looking around, "Did you hear a flute just now?" ”！。
