Yu Zidu came out of the old lady's courtyard, and Ou Quan led him to settle next to the courtyard where Hua Shaoyan lived. Yu Zidu looked at the residence and said: "I look at the garden here with a bit of rural style, and the simplicity is full of elegance, which is in line with the meaning of returning to the basics." Unlike most of the Zhuangzi in Beijing, which is very delicate and luxurious, the district steward must have put a lot of effort into it, I wonder if the steward can show me around? ”

Ou Quanyi smiled and said: "The prince of the world has praised it. 1 small one that will take you around. ”

The two wandered all the way, and Yuzi sometimes casually asked some trivial things, and Ou Quan answered them one by one. On the way, Yuzi saw two mothers-in-law walking towards a courtyard with lanterns shaped like high crowns, and couldn't help asking: "These lanterns are rare, but what are they for?" ”

Ou Quan smiled and said, "That's what the girl used when she was preparing to put out the lights on Qixi Festival." My family said that the lamp was called Kong Ming Lantern. ”

"Kong Ming lantern?"

Yuzi looked towards the courtyard, and there was a burst of girlish laughter from within the low wall of the fence covered with green vines.

"Girl, why do you want to play slave and maid, why are you writing these words?"

"Hey, girl, I don't want you to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible!"

"No, the slave wants to change it! This should be given to the girl. The Ninth Young Master will ,......... when he sees the opportunity to seize the opportunity."

"Ha, girl, don't scratch it, the slave knows it's wrong, the slave doesn't say it, haha"

Yuzi heard the conversation in the wall intermittently, and the smile on the side of Chún condensed slightly, but when he saw that in the gap of the green leaves, Qing Dai ran in his direction after Tao Huā, so he coughed lightly twice: "Sister Qing Dai, what is this Kong Ming lantern for?" ”

"Is it Big Brother Long?" The laughter inside the fence gradually stopped, and then there was a soft call, and the voice was sweet and beautiful.

"Exactly." Yuzi walked two steps faster and walked to the gate of the courtyard, where there were more than a dozen papier-mâché Kong Ming lanterns. In the center of the courtyard, there is a case of a half-person, on which there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and two lamps resting on it, which seems to be painting.

Qingdai and Momohuā straightened out their messy clothes and gave Yuko a courtesy.

"This place is far away from the capital, so those extra courtesies are still waived." Yu Zidu gave a hand, and said with a smile, "It's all old acquaintances, you don't have to be so restrained, just casual." ”

"It's very chaotic here, and Brother Long estimates that he won't dislike it, so he will go to the yard and sit." Everyone has arrived at the door, and it is not good for people to stand outside the wall, so Qingdai invited Yuzi to enter the courtyard gate.

"Looking at the scenery of Zhuangzi is good, let the district manager walk around with me, and when I came here, I saw someone holding this lamp to the yard, and I was curious to ask the district manager to know that this is called Kong Ming lantern, saying that you are going to put the lantern on the night of Qixi Festival. I look at the Kong Ming lantern a little strange, I don't know how to put it? ”

Yu Zidu was not polite and walked straight in.

"Before the release, tie a coarse cloth soaked in oil in the middle, and when the lampshade is filled with heat, you can fly out and float into the air. Legend has it that Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang, and put a lamp for help, because it resembles Zhuge Crown, so it was named. Qing Dai casually picked up one from the ground and explained to Yu Zidu: "There are people in some places who release Kong Ming lanterns in the open space of Yuan Xi, and they also pray to the heavens." Yuan Xi is in Shangjing, the place is not big, and it is not suitable for lights. It just happened that this time I met Qixi Festival, and Zhuangzi was in a big place, so I remembered to put the lamp. 、，

"I see!" Yu Zidu nodded at Qingdai, "I just told the old lady that I will leave after Qixi Festival, I wonder if I will have the honor to see it that day?" ”

It's not a big deal to put on the lights, Yu Zidu said so, where would Qingdai refuse "Since the eldest brother has seen it, he naturally has a share!" We've made a dozen or so in the past few days, which isn't much, but it's enough for each of us to put one. ”

Yu Zidu walked to the table in the courtyard, looked at the moonlit night picture painted on one side, and the other painted a little strange villain with a big head and a small body, and smiled at Qing Dai: "The small on this lamp."

People are a bit like peach huā, but they look a little top-heavy. ”

Yinhong smiled and said: "The prince has good eyesight, that is the peach huā, the girl specially painted a portrait for her."

"When the beautiful scenery is good, I find my heart."

Yu Zidu read out a line of small characters on the painting, looked at the small version of the peach huā on the lamp and smiled shyly, a thread held in his hand turned around the lampshade for half a circle, and a Kong Ming lantern was tied to the other end, as if he was flying a kite, and the small Kong Ming lantern in the painting was painted with a small scholar with a big head and a small body.

Yuzi couldn't help but chuckle: "Your girl wants to find you an obedient Langjun who can be tied in her hand." ”

"Brother Long, this remark has won my heart. My girl has a big temper, so it's better to find an obedient one. Qing Dai smiled heartily, looked at the red-faced peach huā, and said in her heart, peach huā has been teasing her a lot in the past few days, and today can be regarded as "revenge".

Tao Huā was told by Yu Zidu and Qing Dai, and her originally slightly red face became even redder, and she secretly glanced at Qing Dai, "Girl, you and Shi Ziye have teamed up to make fun of the slave maid." ”

"I want to come to this painting from the hand of your girl, since it is a piece of her heart, as for me, I just said later, Tao Huā girl is not surprised! …

Yu Zidu said to Tao Huā, his eyes lowered and stared at the short big-headed doll on the lantern, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, Qingdai This girl is huā.

He casually put the Kong Ming lantern back on the case, his eyes swept over the moonlit night picture next to him, a round of bright moon in the sky, and a person under the moon sat by the window to look at the moon, I don't know where to think? If you look closely, there is only one "Si" in the inscription next to it. On the other hand, it is also a moonlit night, under the moon are tall square buildings, resembling buildings, and below is a strange-shaped "four-legged nose" lying on the road.

"Where is this scenery and why have I never seen it?"

Qing Dai saw that Yuzi was holding and looking at the modern city street scene she casually painted, so she took it without a trace, and said with a smile: "I had a dream last night, and I happened to dream of this place, so I drew it casually today." You didn't see it, big brother, there is a "dream, word" on it. ”

Yuzi looked at it, and there was indeed a "dream" word on the painting, "Oh, it turned out to be a lot"

He raised his eyes to look at Qing Dai, and saw that she took the Kong Ming lantern in her hand and looked at it, with a trace of imperceptible affection in her eyes, and then carefully placed it elsewhere, and couldn't help but wonder if her careful care for a lamp was really because of a dream?

Qing Dai didn't realize Yu Zidu's thoughts, she just wanted to reveal it, hoping that he wouldn't ask any more, so she picked a white light from the side and put it on the case, "Brother Long, you are a well-known talent in our Dahua, I don't know if you can condescend to the noble and splash ink on this ugly case, let us see and understand?" ”

"Okay, since it's what Qingdai wants, don't dare to disobey the eldest brother."

Yu Zidu smiled at Qing Dai, his eyes were blue, and there were gentle ripples, and there seemed to be a shallow shimmer of light looming under the bō light, which made people's hearts move slightly.

The maids and ladies next to him were silent in unison, and Qing Dai lost his mind for a moment, he had already lowered his head and took a pen from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and picked up the pen to draw.

Qing Dai came back to her senses, looked at the little maids with starry eyes, as well as the long-tested peach huā and the already human Yinhong beside her, and shook her head secretly, Okay, didn't you know many years ago that the handsome guy Yu is actually not weaker than Jiu Niangniang's fighting power, look at this look back and smile, knocking down countless fans.

After a while, Ikuko's subordinates had already drawn the prototype of the characters, and he continued to change his brush.

"The prince is worthy of being a great talent in the capital, this painting is really beautiful, just like the real thing."

"Yes, the son of a dignified family, he also painted lanterns for the girl, and at a glance he knew that he was a warm-hearted and good person."

Listening to the whispers of the little maids, Qing Dai couldn't help pouting, and praised her paintings together just now, but at this time, they all turned to Yu Zidu, and I don't know what "masterpiece" he painted?

"Okay, Qingdai, come, come and see, are you satisfied?" Yuzi put down his pen, admired his painting with a smile, and casually called Qingdai to come closer.

Yu Zidu's kind tone made Qing Dai slightly surprised, and the tone of his speech today seemed to be a little different...............

Before she could think about it, Qing Dai was pulled to the desk by Tao Huā, and she was stunned when she saw the pattern drawn on the lampshade. How familiar is this scene? It was the night of the Lantern Festival that she and Yu Zi were both watching fireworks in Tingfang Garden.

The lamp depicts a man and a woman sitting in front of the window, the woman's finger is smiling at the window, the man's eyes are gentle like water, just quietly looking at her outside the window, the night sky blooms a brilliant smoke, releasing the most brilliant brilliance of their lives, reflecting the feelings that are hidden in the bottom of their hearts......

"What should I say?" Yu Zidu looked at the stunned Qing Dai, and chuckled "Look" The stars of the Han Dynasty are falling, and the building is like the moon. Don't have a daughter laughing, how about coming to the nine branches? ”

The lights in the distance are like stars falling to the ground, and the ones leaning against the building are more like the bright moon hanging high. To add luster to this Lantern Festival, of course, the laughter of beautiful girls is indispensable.

Yuzi didn't even think about it, the scene of that night appeared in his mind when he picked up the pen, so he started to paint the picture on the paper, and the most unforgettable thing for him that night was the bright smile of Qingdai under the fireworks in the sky, or the moment her smile bloomed, the budding and wonderful feeling in his heart.

Yu Zidu's words woke up Qing Dai, and her heart beat twice, some surprised, some suspicious... She couldn't help but secretly say, maybe she thought about it a lot and her eyes fell back on the painting, Qingdai looked at it for a while, and responded: "I think it's still "Jinli has a feast, Lan Hongyan in her early years." The colors are far away, and the light is far away from the sky, these four sentences are more pertinent.

Yu Zidu still smiled, thinking, the first four sentences focus on writing the scene, she used these four sentences to refute herself, it seems that the little girl understands, but she has to pretend not to understand...
