Chapter 26: Lantern Meeting (2)
When Pan Mingzhong heard this, he lowered his head: "I'm sorry!" However, I am speaking the truth and will not weigh me down! β
Lin Jingmao said: "This is just your current thoughts! Someday, it will change! β
Pan Mingzhong said: "I'll talk about it later!" Anyway, I only care about the present! β
Lin Jingmao said helplessly: "Whatever you want!" What a naΓ―ve girl! β
Ming Zhong only smiled slightly, and then said, "Cousin, after we finish watching the fireworks, let's go put off the lotus lanterns!" β
Jingmao replied: "Good! β
So when the fireworks stopped, they bought two lotus lanterns and walked to the shore of Qingdeng Lake.
They set their eyes on the surface of the Qingdeng Lake, and found that there were courtesans singing small songs in several painted boats on the lake, the music was mournful and affectionate, such as the cry of the yellow warbler, it was the sound of nature, and in an instant, the tune became sudden and sonorous, like a waterfall falling straight into the silver sky, galloping in the wind and sad in the air, it was a natural movement!
They stood on the shore and were relieved to hear the melodious sound.
After a while, when the song ended, Pan Mingzhong sighed: "It's over so soon, I'm still unsatisfied!" β
Lin Jingmao said: "Speaking of unfinished business, I remembered your singing that day!" β
Pan Mingzhong was surprised: "Really? You didn't lie to me, did you? β
Lin Jingmao smiled: "How could I lie to you!" You're so unconfident! β
Pan Mingzhong smiled: "I'm very happy that you said that!" And he said, "By the way, it's time to put the lanterns!" β
"Well, then let it go!"
So they squatted down, took out the fire fold, lit the white candle of the lotus lamp, picked it up, and slowly lowered it into the water.
As they watched it drift away, they also saw the lotus lanterns on the water gathering more and more, their sparks jumping, like fluorescent lights, bringing color and liveliness to the dark night; Swirling in the water, rippling with layers of ripples, circles of blue marks, and finally, fluttering with the wind into the distance, gone.
At this time, Lin Jingmao said: "It's not too early! It's time for us to go back too! β
Ming Zhong seemed to think of something: "No, I can't go back now!" Cousin, go to one more place with me! And when he had said that, he took him by the hand and ran away with him.
They ran all the way, the figures that greeted them flickered and flew away, and the noise in their ears was all gone with the wind, only the soft touch with temperature on their hands was the most real. And the bond passed in the hand brings the two hearts close.
Pan Mingzhong took him to the old moon tree with a red belt, let go of his hand, and said breathlessly, "Cousin, it's here!" β
Lin Jingmao asked, "Do you want to hang a red belt?" β
Ming Zhong nodded.
"Alright then!"
So Ming Zhong took out two red belts from his arms and handed one of them to him: "Don't forget to think about a wish when hanging the red belt!" β
He took the red belt and did not answer, and then couldn't help but say, "You love this kind of thing like everyone else!" β
"It's not a letter! I just have hope in my heart, I hope to realize it, so I want to do that, so that I can have a sustenance and comfort in my heart! β
"Well, even if something is impossible, people still want it to come true, or are they willing to believe some false rumors and do useless things to achieve peace of mind and the illusion that their wishes will come true!"
When Ming Zhong heard this, he was a little displeased: "How do you know that it will not come true!" If it happens, it's possible! β
Lin Jingmao smiled: "Well, everything is possible!" But most people just pin their wishes on these useless things, and they don't want to work hard, so how can their wishes come true! β
Ming Zhong listened and was speechless for a long time, and after a while, she said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this matter, it's all here, you might as well believe it once and finish the steps!" β
Lin Jingmao said: "Okay! β
Hearing his answer, Ming Zhong approached the tree, ready to climb it, and as soon as he took the first step, he was taken by Lin Jingmao and carried up the tree.
After Lin Jingmao successfully took her up the tree, he let go of his hand. And Ming Zhong was a little shaky because he was suddenly brought up by him, and his body was unstable.
Seeing this, Lin Jingmao held the tree trunk with one hand, then leaned close to her, grabbed her waist again, and brought her to him.
At this time, Pan Mingzhong's hands were close to his chest, his eyes were wide open, looking at him worriedly, so close to the distance, not only could he perceive his steady breathing, see his handsome face clearly, but also feel his indescribable elegance.
She stared at him for a long time, losing track of time, her breath becoming short, and her heart dancing with joy. Looking at him like this, it doesn't matter if he is old.
After a while, Lin Jingmao distanced himself from each other: "Have you seen enough?" β
Ming Zhong shook his head: "Ah, no! Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly changed his words: "No, no, it's enough!" Excuse me! With that, he lowered his eyes, his brows tightened, and his cheeks became red, but this was difficult to detect in this dark night!
Lin Jingmao smiled: "Okay, I won't ask, let's tie a red belt!" β
Ming Zhong answered, and tied the red belt to the branch with him.
Pan Mingzhong wore a red belt, and also silently recited in his heart: At a glance, this love will be eternal, may your heart be like my heart, and live up to my lovesickness.
After tying the red belt and reciting his wishes, he looked at Lin Jingmao and found that he had already finished tying it, so he smiled and said, "Cousin, let's go back!" β
And when he answered, he brought her down and went back with her.
They entered the mansion, and when they were about to part ways, Pan Mingzhong stopped him: "Cousin, thank you for bringing me this wonderful memory!" β
Lin Jingmao smiled: "No thanks! Tonight, I'm having a good time too! β
Ming Zhong looked at him and smiled: "Cousin, I'm leaving, goodbye!" After saying that, I waved to him, turned around and left.
Lin Jingmao watched her walk away, until he couldn't see her, he sneered, and then took steps and left.
After the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Pan was seriously ill and in danger, Pan Changping and Pan Yuechen were in a hurry, so they spent a lot of money to find medical treatment for her, although the symptoms were not cured, but they could also save a life. The lady and others in the house are also in a hurry, and they will visit her every once in a while.
Pan Mingzhong felt that he hadn't visited the old lady for some time, and he felt a little guilty, and when he heard that the old lady was seriously ill, he was worried about her, so he wanted to go to her Cixi Hall to visit her.
She went in the afternoon, and because she liked to be quiet, there were more people there in the morning, so she chose to go in the afternoon.
As soon as she entered Cixi Hall, she smelled a few wisps of medicinal incense, she habitually looked into the house, there was only Mother Chen in it, it was so quiet that it was not like words, the indoor equipment was simple and simple, there was a turquoise wood carved table of six immortals on the right side, there were several carved wooden chairs under the table, and there was a small red sandalwood square table in front of it, on which were placed a few Buddhist scriptures, a few Buddhist beads and a Jun glaze appliquΓ© tripod incense burner, and there was a red sandalwood Baifu pattern longevity bed on the left side.
Ming Zhong said politely, "Mother Chen! After saying that, he approached the bed and saw the old woman on the bed with frosty sideburns and a pale face.
