On January 15, the lights were always on.

Although the Shen family's mansion is only one lane away from the main street of Kangning, the lively scene of fire trees and silver flowers on the street does not seem to affect the mansion in the slightest, or rather, it is even quieter than before. Shen Xiao and Shen Zizheng were above the top five grades, so they naturally wanted to go to the palace for a banquet, and Shen Ziheng also hurried out after telling Shen Zi'an, so in the huge Shen Mansion, only Shen Zi'an, Zi Wan, Qi Yuanjin were left, and even the other domestic servants, after getting the promise, all went together to have fun.

When it was time to arrive, people returned to the house one after another, and the fireworks brought back made the empty house have a hint of approachability. As soon as she opened the curtain of the study, as she expected, she saw Shen Zi'an leaning on the back of the chair, lazily flipping through the book in his hand, very quiet.

Hearing the movement, Shen Zi'an raised his head suddenly, as if he was expecting something, and saw Aster walking over with a smile, most of the light in his eyes disappeared, and then asked, "I heard that there is a fireworks show on the street tonight, why didn't you go and take a look?" ”

"What's so nice about fireworks? Besides, if I also leave, who will take care of my son? ”

"Why bother spending it here for me."

Hearing this, Aster's expression darkened suddenly, and then he smiled again, "I don't like this kind of excitement, but I was said by Gongzi to be consumed, as if I have been greatly wronged." Childe, take your medicine. ”

"Don't let me go during the holidays." Shen Zi'an wrinkled his nose with a reluctant expression.

"Childe, this medicine is not for me," Aster said angrily, "I haven't taken the medicine on time in the palace for a few days, and if I don't take it again, what will I do if I get sick again?" ”

"Sister is a lesson." Shen Zi'an said with a smile.

"Childe teased me again."

Seeing that Aster was a little anxious in her words, Shen Zi'an hurriedly picked up the medicine bowl and said with a smile, "Don't be annoyed, I'll drink it." Just as he was about to deliver it to his mouth, a knocking sound suddenly sounded from the back window, although it was almost inaudible, but Shen Zi'an's heart was like a drum at that moment.

He really came.

"Go pour me some tea." Shen Zi'an said to Aster.

Although Aster vaguely felt that Shen Zi'an was a little different from the past tonight, she still answered and lifted the curtain and went out. As soon as she walked on her front foot, a person jumped in through the back window.

"His Royal Highness is still so vigorous, if he doesn't open the window, it's as if he can't enter the house." Shen Zi'an teased.

"Don't Zi'an think that going through the window seems to be more interesting than going through the main entrance of those avenues?" Gu Xuan said with a smile.

Shen Zi'an ignored him and asked, "Your Highness didn't go to the palace banquet?" ”

"Of course I went," Gu Xuan sat on the chair in front of Shen Zi'an and said, "I'm afraid that my father's interest is too good, and you will be in a hurry, so I persuaded him to have a few more glasses of wine." After drinking too much, the banquet will naturally end. ”

"But my father and eldest brother haven't come back yet?"

"That's natural, I've done everything I can to get here so early." Gu Xuan's face was full of pride, "Before I came, I also went to Changming Palace to change my clothes." ”

"Early? It's time now, and I'm going to rest. ”

"Don't sleep, Zi'an. The lanterns on Corning Street are at their best now, just go and I'll buy you candy to eat. ”

"Your Highness should coax the children yourself?" Shen Zi'an glanced at him with slanted eyes.

Gu Xuan saw that his attitude was dark, and he just thought that he was late, so he smiled and said, "I'm thirsty, I'll drink saliva, let's go out." Seeing that there was some black water in the bowl on the table, Gu Xuan naturally thought that it was a drink made from some fruit, so he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and drank it when he picked it up. Who knows, as soon as he entered his mouth, a salty and bitter taste made him almost nauseous, and he couldn't help but vomit it all out.

"What is this, so unpalatable?"

"This is my medicine." Shen Zi'an saw that he was coughing breathlessly, and said with a smile, "Even after eating it for so many years, I still feel extremely bitter." ”

"Even though you're weaker, you won't want to drink such things, right?"

"Your Highness said it lightly, how can I want to drink it? But ......"

"If you don't want to drink, don't drink." Before Shen Zi'an finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Xuan, "There is always another way, such a bitter medicine, drinking too much is not beneficial." ”

"......"

"But what? If you are not happy, do not force yourself. As he spoke, Gu Xuan actually picked up the medicine bowl, walked to the window, and poured out all the medicine in the bowl.

Although Shen Zi'an felt that he should not be as willful as Gu Xuan, the moment he heard the potion fall into the grass, his heart was actually much lighter. At this moment, there was a noise outside the house, and Shen Xiao's voice came from afar.

"My father is back." Shen Zi'an was a little flustered.

"If you want to go, I'll ...... I'll take you down a path to make sure you won't be discovered. Gu Xuan whispered.

Shen Zi'an thought that before Shen Ziheng left, he specially came to ask him not to run around and be careful of catching a cold. Although it was considerate, it also made him feel disobedient at this time.

Why is it that a word of concern can bind people for ten years?

"I also want to see the lights on the streets, and the people alive." This kind of thought was like a weed in early summer, and Shen Zi was relieved to sprout, and he shouted wildly.

Through the window, a few glimmers of light flashed in the dark night sky from time to time, probably because the fireworks exploded again.

"Okay." Shen Zi'an hesitated for a moment and raised his eyes to look at Gu Xuan.

Here, Gu Xuan was about to lead him to the back window, but Zi Wan entered the bedroom with tea. Shen Zi'an hurriedly walked out of the study room, stood in front of the curtain, took the tea tray, and smiled at Aster, "It's not early, you go and tell my father, just say that I slept and let him rest early, so I won't bother." ”

"Childe slept so early today?"

"After a day of tossing, I'm tired." As he spoke, Shen Zi'an was about to send the aster to the door of the bedroom.

"Yes......" Aster replied, but she was really puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help but look back at Shen Zi'an frequently. When she went out, she just wanted to go to Shen Xiao, but suddenly thought that the previous medicine bowl had not been brought back, so she hurried back to the house. How do you know, Shen Zi'an is no longer in the room.

On the roof, Gu Xuan was holding Shen Zi'an's shoulders, flying all the way to the eaves and ridges, climbing beams and climbing the wall.

"It's also called a road?!" Shen Zi'an felt that all the qi and blood all over his body were surging straight to the top of his head.

Gu Xuan was very leisurely, "Can you just go out?" ”

Although Kangning Street is the main street of Pingjing, it is already silent at this time of the weekday. However, even though it is already night today, it is still crowded with people, so it is not lively. The last time Shen Zi'an came to play at the Lantern Festival, he was still an unkempt child, and now when he sees this scene again, he is happy and excited, but he can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The street vendors seemed to be competing with each other, each shouting more vigorously than the other. One of them saw that Shen Zi'an was dressed unusually, so he hurriedly greeted, "This son, can you buy a lantern?" ”

Shen Zi'an saw that there were all kinds of lanterns hanging on the rows of poles, which were a little cute, but he didn't have any pennis on him, so he had to smile at the man, "No need." ”

Gu Ying poked his head over, looked at him, looked at the vendor again, and said with a smile, "How can there be a reason not to carry a lantern during the Lantern Festival?" As he spoke, he took Shen Zi'an's arm and came to the stall, "Let's take one by one." ”

"How can you make His Highness ......" Before the words fell, Shen Zi'an realized that he had lost his words.

"Your Highness?" The man asked.

"My surname is Xia, and this name is a bit strange." Gu Xuan said with a smile.

"No, no," the man said with a smile, "summer in the field is like swimming in the water." The name of the son can be described as auspicious. ”

Gu Xuan laughed, and didn't talk to him about some of the things that were not there, but just wanted to pick out two chic ones from this pile of lanterns. As soon as I looked through a few of them, I saw two lanterns painted with flowers and leaves.

"Is this heather?"

"Childe is really knowledgeable, and the paintings on this are heather flowers and leaves."

Gu Xuan was very satisfied for a while, threw the man a string of money, picked one up and stuffed it into Shen Zi'an's hand, and took an identical one himself.

The two walked away with the lantern for a while, and Gu Xuan suddenly whispered, "You still call me brother." ”

"Don't, it's awkward."

"Forget it," Gu Xuan looked helpless, "just keep shouting." Maybe in a while, we will all be arrested by Gu Heng. ”

Shen Zi'an glanced at him and didn't say anything. It's been about too long since he has been so presumptuous, and whenever Shen Zi'an encounters a stall that he has never seen before, he will stop for a long time with great interest. Gu Xuan also enjoyed playing with him at first, but after a long time, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Zi'an, when are you going to visit that 'rumor'?"

Shen Zi'an raised his head to recognize the way, pouted, and said, "It's just ahead." ”

"That's good, I'm afraid you'll forget about it."

Shen Zi'an glanced at him, "Palace...... Why are you so interested? ”

"People sincerely invite, if you don't go, it will break his heart." Seeing that Shen Zi'an didn't answer, Gu Xuan asked again, "Zi'an, why do you call him a 'rumor'?" ”

"I didn't call him that, but the situation required it, and I used the word to refer to him for a while. In the past, when my husband was afraid that I would be bored, when I went to listen to music from him, he would sometimes tell me some anecdotes and talk to me to relieve my boredom. ”

"It's not good to always talk about other people's rights and wrongs behind your back." Gu Xuan didn't realize the sourness in his words at all.

"Isn't Your Highness just talking about the rights and wrongs of others?" With that, the two of them arrived at the door. I saw that next to the small front door, a wooden sign was hung high on a bamboo pole, and the word 'Le Fang' was written on it. Shen Zi'an glanced back at Gu Xuan proudly, and then waved his sleeves into the house with a smile on his face. Gu Xuan was speechless for a while, and secretly said a few bad words about the "rumors" in his heart, so he stomped his feet and followed in.

After all, Shen Zi'an was a frequent visitor here, so he skillfully went upstairs, and then walked through the corridor in the house, and after a few turns, he arrived at the small room where the two of them often gathered. The people in the house were sitting by the window, looking at the lights on the street, pouring themselves a drink, hearing the sound of pushing the door, looking up, suddenly rejoicing, and laughing, "I thought Childe was not coming." ”

Shen Zi'an also smiled and said, "I'm late, don't blame you." ”

"Who is this?" The man saw Gu Xuan and followed him into the house and asked.

Shen Zi'an led Gu Xuan to sit down, and said with a smile, "I went back to my home in the city, and I almost couldn't get out, thanks to this brother who rescued me." ”

"I guess so." The man laughed.

"I'm not a brother," Gu Xuan said with a dark face, "I'm Zi'an's hair." ”

"Hair small? I know that Gongzi has a young man surnamed Mei, but this brother has really never heard of it. ”

"How can Your Excellency know everything about Zi'an?" Gu Xuan took out the jade bead he was wearing around his neck and said, "This is what Zi'an gave me more than ten years ago, I don't believe you asked him." ”

The man looked at Shen Zi'an with a smile on his face, but Shen Zi'an did not shy away from it, and said with a smile, "That's true." ”

"In that case, let's have a drink." The man poured three glasses of wine and said with a smile.

Gu Xuan picked up a cup and asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

"When you meet by fate, why bother to know your surname? Please. So saying, the man threw up his head and drank it all. Seeing this, Gu Xuan and the others also drank all the wine in their cups.

"How does Sir know that I am in the royal city?" Shen Zi'an asked.

The man smiled slightly, "Is there anything in this world that I don't know?" ”

"......Shh

"Your Excellency, what do you think of this?"

"On the day Zi'an entered the palace, there were no fewer people on Kangning Street than today, how could you not know that your music shop was opened on this street?"

"You can't be so rude to your husband." Shen Zi'an felt that it was a complete mistake to bring Gu Xuan over.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation downstairs, and Shen Zi'an turned his head to look, only to see goose feathers and heavy snow floating outside the window.

"It's so pretty." Shen Zi'an couldn't help but sigh.

"Shall we go out and have a look?" Gu Xuan asked.

Shen Zi'an was stunned suddenly, this was the first time in so many years that someone asked him if he wanted to go out to see the snow, "I can't go to ......"

"Why can't you go? It's not a girl's house, and it can't be drenched in snow. Seeing that he was hesitant, Gu Xuan couldn't help but smile.

Shen Zi'an's eyes lit up, and he asked the person at the table again, "Is Mr. going?" ”

"I'm not going," the man laughed, "Childe, go quickly, this snow doesn't seem to be long." ”

When Shen Zi'an rushed to push open the door and the snowflakes fell on the tip of his nose, he suddenly felt as if something had bloomed in his heart.

It was the last snow of Zhang De's twenty-five years, and it was also the first one that Shen Zi'an had been exposed to in ten years.

"Zi'an?" Gu Xuan looked at Shen Zi'an Shen Zi'an's back, and suddenly blurted out.

Shen Zi'an turned to look at him, "What?" ”

Gu Xuan gritted his teeth, as if using all his strength, and shouted, "Do you believe that you fell in love at first sight?" ”

At this moment, the fireworks in the center of Wang Street suddenly exploded, and meteor-like sparks fell in an arc behind Shen Zi'an, and a huge explosion resounded in the night sky.

With the cheers of people on the streets, the fireworks will finally reach its climax.

"What did you say?" In the crowd, Shen Zi'an half-covered his ears with his hands and asked loudly.

I said...... I said do you want to eat sugar man? ”

After that, at Shen Zi'an's strong request, Gu Xuan sent him to the front door of the bedroom along the real road.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Thanks for what? But I have to go back, or something will happen. ”

After sending Gu Ying away, Shen Zi'an hurriedly entered the house, probably too anxious to find that someone was waiting in front of the house.

This is the first time Aster has seen Shen Zi'an smile so happily, but this smile is obviously what she is looking forward to the most, but now it seems that it hurts very much.

Childe knows, it's not that I don't like to watch fireworks, but compared to fireworks, in Childe's eyes, there is my favorite spring and autumn.
