Chapter 43: The Red Line of Snow

The thirtieth day of the fourth year of Jian'an, the last day of the year. In ancient times, in modern times, it was a traditional Chinese festival - except for the New Year, everyone in the night was also ready to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new like modern people, and this day was the only day that Mo Yan felt was not much different from modern times.

During the day, Liu Xie and her, the emperor and queen, were indispensable to worship their ancestors, but it was not quite the same as the previous October sacrifice. The location is still Yuxiutai, but at this time they are a lot unfamiliar, and they hardly say a word during the period, and in just two months, the two are strangers.

Mo Yan saw the long-lost Fu Wan, the ancients were different from men and women, monarchs and ministers, Fu Wan could not stay in the palace to eat, Fu Wan brought her snacks outside the palace, and let people rush to make new clothes, telling her to take good care of herself in the palace, share more worries and relieve boredom for His Majesty, and give birth to a prince for His Majesty in the future, as a father, he only hopes that his daughter is safe, etc...... When saying goodbye to Fu Wan, Mo Yan leaned against the door and watched, she envied Fu Shou to have such a father, and secretly shouted "Dad" in her heart, she had no chance to shout "Dad" since she was a child, she could only look at others with a father, but she did not have a father who accompanied her left and right, if she had a chance, she wanted to be Fu Wan's face and call him "Dad", even if Fu Wan only thought that she was Fu Shou.

At sunset and dusk, the Qing Banquet Palace set up a banquet, which is a family banquet. In addition to the court banquet, I am afraid that only a family banquet like today can have the opportunity for the emperor and the queen and the nobles to dine together. It is almost the same as the court banquet in September, the same sound of silk and bamboo, the scene of singing and dancing, if you say the difference, that is, there is no Liu Xie's qin music today, and her dancing posture. Liu Xie and her, eating the food in front of them, Mo Yan had no intention of appreciating the song and dance in front of him, the food in his mouth was tasteless, he just hoped to end the banquet quickly, it was better to go back to the Jiaofang Hall and Yu Niang, and the spring to keep the New Year. When she thought like this, the guy in her stomach did a proper exercise, and she stroked it gently, listen to your mother, and don't protest casually.

Finally lasted until the end of the banquet, Mo Yan got up with the support of Yu Niang and saluted Liu Xie, who was about to leave the table, Liu Xie still stayed in Dong Lin's dormitory, so when Liu Xie and Dong Lin left together, Mo Yan was not surprised. Only Chunyi muttered softly behind her: "Your Majesty will not stay in the Jiaofang Hall on Chinese New Year's Eve." "Wouldn't it be better for us to celebrate the New Year together?" After going back, let the palace attendants eat together, and on the last day of the year, let them have a good meal. "Yes. It is a blessing for them that His Highness has been so kind to them. ”

As soon as she stepped out of the gate of the Qingyan Palace, Song Du blocked Mo Yan's way, she saw that there was no one around, and stepped forward and said in Mo Yan's ear: "Sister Ayan, I want to take you somewhere, just the two of us, okay?" ”

When there were only the two of them, Song would call her "Sister A Yan", and Song Du was not surprised by Mo Yan's name, Mo Yan treated her like a sister, so he liked Song Du to call her "Sister A Yan". Mo Yan pushed away Yu Niang's hand, "I'll go with her, Yu Niang doesn't have to worry too much, I'll be careful." ”

Yu Niang frowned, obviously she couldn't rest assured of the person in front of her, after all, she was already seven months pregnant at this time, if it weren't for the cold weather and thick clothes, even if there were strips of cloth entangled, it would be difficult to hide. I don't know if there is a misunderstanding between the two people, His Majesty has not announced His Royal Highness's pregnancy for a long time, and Yu Niang can't tell anyone that His Royal Highness is pregnant......

Mo Yan could see that Yu Niang was worried about herself, she smiled and said, "Yu Niang, there is Du'er, I'm fine." You go back to the Jiaofang Hall with Chunyi and the palace people. Remember to let them eat after you go back, you and Chunyi will also eat well, and the days when you marry into the palace, thank you for taking care of them. ”

Mo Yan said this, Yu Niang had no choice but to give up, and asked the Song nobles to take care of His Royal Highness, be very careful. Song Du took Mo Yan's hand and walked in the direction of the garden, "Where does Du'er want to take me?" ”

"Sister, have you ever heard the story of the red line on Chinese New Year's Eve? When Du'er was young, he heard his mother say that if he wrapped a red thread around the tree on the last night of the lunar month, his wish would come true, and his mother also said that if he was a lover who loved each other, it would be more effective. Du'er does this every year today, so it's better for my sister to accompany Du'er tonight. ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve Red Line? I haven't heard of it. Not...... Since Du'er sincerely invited me, then I will accompany you. Mo Yan didn't have any doubts about the naΓ―ve Song, anyway, there was nothing to do on Chinese New Year's Eve, so it was good to walk with her.

The snow on the road in the palace has long been swept away by the palace attendants, but when they came to the garden, there was thick snow everywhere, and no one would come here to enjoy the scenery in such a cold weather, let alone clean the garden.

Feet on the snow, rustling. Song Du was overjoyed, completely ignoring whether the snow water would flow into his shoes, and shuttled back and forth in a field of proud snow plums. The sky is full of snow, only this red plum "Ling Han blooms alone" (1), and her temperament adds a lot of color to the arrogant plum blossom.

"Du'er, slow down, be careful of slipping." Mo Yan had difficulty moving, so he had to remind Song Du loudly. Song Du finally stood under a plum tree, and she stretched out her hand to beckon Mo Yan to come over quickly. "Sister, let's just this plum tree, I see it blooming best."

Mo Yan walked slowly and walked to her side, Mo Yan stroked the plum blossoms, the petals were exquisite, the color was gorgeous, and the fragrance was overflowing. "What's next?"

Song Du took a wrapped handkerchief from his arms and opened it carefully, and it was wrapped in red thread. She handed one of the red threads to Mo Yan, and Mo Yan took it, and she also had a red thread of about the same length in her hand. "My sister and Du'er stand here together, make a wish sincerely, and then wrap this red thread around the branches, the heavens will hear our hearts, and our wishes will be fulfilled."

"I see, then I made a wish." Mo Yan clasped her hands together, the red line was in her palm, and when she just wanted to make a wish silently, she was blindfolded by Song Du, "Du'er? ”

"Sister Ah Yan, my mother warned Du'er that the gods in the sky should not be seen, and in order to show sincerity, you must close your eyes. And don't be greedy, you can only say one wish. ”

"Okay, I know, let's make a wish."

"Yes!"

Song Du's hand quickly let go, and Mo Yan closed his eyes, thinking about how to make a wish. Although it is the story of Song Du's mother coaxing her, on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is not impossible to make a wish, maybe it will come true.

I can only say one wish...... Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, the wish she wanted to make was the same as the river lantern that night. Heavenly gods, I can travel back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so why not give Liu Xie a chance to support the Han Dynasty? I believe that he will be a good emperor, regardless of the three kingdoms, and the people can live a good life, without going to war and suffering from the loss of their families...... Please let Liu Xie rule the world, this country belongs to him, and it should not be divided into three worlds.

After Mo Yan made a wish, he firmly tied the red thread to the branch, and then bent down to bow. "Du'er, are you okay?" As soon as she turned around, Song Du beside her had long since disappeared.

"Du'er? Where are you? Are you playing hide and seek with me? Don't make a fuss, it's very dangerous with snow everywhere. If you want to play, I'll play with you when it's warm. ”

Mo Yan looked for Song Du's figure, shouting loudly while walking carefully. In the garden, I just can't see Song Du's figure, "Du'er, sister admits defeat, can you come out quickly?" ”

Garden snow road, a red line is particularly obvious, Mo Yan picked up the red line, the red line did not fall into the snow, obviously just put down not much time, and this red line has been processed, not slender, very strong. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she smiled faintly, thinking that it was also what Song Du did.

Mo Yan took the red line and walked towards the trail of the red line. After walking for a long time, the red line couldn't be pulled, she looked up and saw that it was Liu Xie in front of her, and the red line on his hand was the red line at the other end.

"I really didn't expect that you were the Chinese New Year's Eve present?"

"Uncle...... Your Majesty. Liu Xie's appearance made Mo Yan a little stunned, and she saluted in a panic. This was the first time she was alone after that, and she suddenly realized, why did Song Du bring her here, lovely Du'er, it is useless for you to do this, although Mo Yan understands that this is Song Du's kindness.

Mo Yan lowered his head and wanted to leave Liu Xie's side, but was stopped by him. "You look at your shoes, wet like this, how to walk? I've turned my back on you. ”

Liu Xie half-squatted and motioned for Mo Yan to come up. "Mo Yan, I am looking at the child's face, don't worry too much." Mo Yan bit his lip and climbed on his back, Liu Xie's words were cold and ruthless, but his back was still the same reassuring and warm.

Mo Yan wanted to lean on his back for a moment, but what qualifications did she have to do so at this time? There was silence all the way, and it snowed in the sky, even with such an icy atmosphere, Mo Yan and Liu Xie never let go of the red line in their hands.

The red line is not so easy to solve.

Concentrate:

(1) From: Wang Anshi's "Plum Blossoms" - a few plums in the corner, Ling Han opened alone. I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance.
