Chapter 60: Tanabata
From the Dragon Boat Festival to Qixi Festival, for about two months, nothing happened, it was quiet and uneventful. Even on the first day of July and the first day of August, Zhu Ran went to Qingfeng Ju to ask for peace, but he didn't see Zhu Heyu. At first, I thought he was going to the battlefield again, but I happened to hear Shui Xin say that he had been in Kyoto City.
This year's Qixi Festival, unlike previous years, Shui Xin has a sweetheart, and he must take this opportunity to go out to meet his lover.
Shui Xin and Ruoyi are busy, planning to complete the day's tasks before dark. Because there is an unwritten rule in the palace, on the day of Qixi Festival, the maid who has finished the work can go out of the house to play after registering with the housekeeper.
"Okay, don't be busy, go pick out a nice outfit and dress up! Jewelry in the box, pick your favorite to wear. ”
"Thank you, ma'am, for the best of us." Shui Xin is coquettish beside Zhuran.
"If the female university doesn't stay, no matter how good I am to you, I can't resist the person you like, isn't it, Ruoyi, no matter how good we are to her, no one will appreciate it."
"What did Madam say, Shui Xin is not that kind of person, you and Ruoyi are my good sisters.
"This mouth is like smearing honey, since I am your good sister, then I won't do tomorrow's work, and I will hand it over to my good sister." Ruoyi smiled.
"Just do it."
The three of them were joking, and suddenly heard the maid outside greeting Zhu Heyu. Shui Xin and Ruoyi were first surprised, and then looked at Zhu Ran in unison, looking at each other and smiling tacitly.
Zhu Heyu came in, and Zhu Ran sat up from the couch. The two stood in place, looking at each other for half a moment. Zhu Ran took the lead in removing his eyes and said to Zhu Heyu: "Is the prince going to stand there all the time?" Zhu Heyu saw that the sadness between Zhu Ran's eyebrows and eyes was gone, and he was happy and relieved in his heart, and smiled at Zhu Ran: "Ran Ran didn't say to let this king in!" ”
Zhu Ran chuckled, "The entire Ruixin Mansion belongs to the prince, do you still use your concubines to invite the prince in!" ”
Zhu Heyu came in when he heard this, walked to Zhuran's side, looked at her and asked, "Do you know what day it is?" ”
Zhu Ran nodded and said: "Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, Valentine's Day." ”
Zhu Heyu touched Zhu Ran's lips with a slender but not white and delicate hand and said, "Outside the mansion today, it is very lively, can this king take you out of the mansion?" ”
……
They came out of the back door. Riding a horse down a dirt road that leads to nowhere. After turning and turning, I finally came to a place, and stopped in a vast and deep meadow, and there was no sound of her except for the sound of the clear stream of the waterfall in the distance.
"I've never given you anything with my heart, but the gold and silver jewelry knows that I don't care about it, so I'll give you a gift today."
Zhu Ran is looking around, he gave her a gift? He asked her to close her eyes, she closed her eyes, and only heard Zhu Heyu whistle for a long time, but there was no sound in all directions, and just as she was about to open her eyes, she heard a slight. It was not blown by Zhu Heyu, but sent from a distance. Getting closer and closer, more and more birdsong hovered in the sky, and she thought at first it was the sound of the flute blowing, and she couldn't help but open her eyes. The blue sky under the blue sky was densely covered with golden magpies, and they couldn't react and stood in place, only to hear Zhu Heyu say seriously: "According to legend, every year on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge for reunion. Today, this king is going to build a magpie bridge for Ranran, and this king wants to let the weaver girl in the sky see that my Zhu Heyu's woman is happier than the fairy in the sky. When the Weaver Girl and her lover get together, they have to rely on the Queen Mother's Queqiao, but mine doesn't need it, her husband is always by her side, even if she is not around, she has the ability to protect her own woman. ”
Zhu Ran looked at Zhu Heyu's eyes, her image was printed in her dark eyes, she smiled, the image in her eyes was also smiling, she hesitated, the image was hesitating.
Thousands of magpies flew in and circled over Zhuran's head. Under Xiao Sheng's guidance, they were indeed arranged in the shape of a bridge. The blue sky is the base, the magpie is the line, the sun is bordered, and a picture scroll jumps in front of you. The magpie chirps, the wings flutter, the sound is colorful, like a dream.
"Do you like it?" Zhu Heyu put his arm around Zhu Ran's shoulder and asked.
Zhuran nodded, his eyes not leaving the magpie in the sky.
Suddenly, the rhythm of Xiao Sheng became intense, the magpie in the sky flapped its wings quickly when it heard the sound, and in the blink of an eye, the appearance of the bridge was gone, and it was a pity in my heart, and two big words suddenly appeared in the sky, "Zhuran"
The characters move up and down, as low as the top of Zhuran's head, Zhuran can feel the wind sound of the magpie flapping its wings, as high as the sky, and the word "Zhuran" becomes very small.
From low to high, back and forth three times, as the sound of the piano ended, the magpie that flew into the sky seemed to be caught in the clouds, and disappeared in an instant.
Zhuran stood in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. On a good day like Qixi Festival, with the beautiful scenery at this moment, how many women will be able to withstand the double blow of emotion and material. She secretly buckled her index finger, but heard Zhu Heyu say: "Come, introduce someone to Ran Ran!" ”
Looking at the place where Zhu Heyu pointed his finger, a thin blue-robed man was lying on the grass, facing the sun, smiling. Zhu Heyu led Zhuran to walk towards him and said: "This is the eldest brother, and the first Xiao was blown by him." ”
When the man saw Zhu Heyu and Zhu Ran walking towards him, he sat up and wiped the jade flute that had just blown out the sound of heaven. Zhu Heyu was greeting him in a manly way, and Zhuran smiled at the man.
An arrogant middle-aged man didn't say a word when he looked at Zhu Ran, but just smiled sincerely at Zhu Ran.
Zhu Heyu called the man the big brother. Zhu Ran saw that the man's facial features were really similar to Zhu Heyu. A ridiculous idea came to mind, looking at this person's age and bearing, it seemed to be like the rumored Lord Ryan, as if it was ...... However, didn't Prince Ryan die violently in the year of Ding Chou, and the detailed calculation is five... years ago.
The man took the two of them to walk in the direction of the thatched house, there was no talk and laughter, Zhu Heyu just held Zhu Ran's hand and didn't say a word, the arrogant man, the man who Zhu Heyu asked her to call the eldest brother, didn't say a word.
Three people were waiting for them in the distance. The little girl in front saw them and ran first. The voice shouted crisply: "Father! Uncle! ”
Zhu Heyu grabbed the little girl, hugged her in her arms and asked, "Ke'er, do you miss your uncle?" ”
The little girl turned her head and said, "No, uncle lied to Ke'er, the last time my uncle left, he said that he would come after a while, but it took so long to come." ”
Seeing the little girl twisting her to her side, Zhu Ran smiled at her and said, "Your name is Ke'er?" ”
The little girl looked at Zhu Ran with wide eyes, swallowed her saliva, and then said with some disappointment: "No wonder my uncle doesn't come here, it turns out that there is a beautiful sister by my side." My name is Zhu Ke'er, what's your name? ”
Zhu Heyu patted the little girl's head, "What a beautiful sister, this is your aunt, call your aunt!" ”
