After the fireworks in the five cities were set off, the city was not deserted.

The car stopped in front of Nanying's gate, and when Yijing saw that the faces of the people around him suddenly had a mask with a white face and blue lips, before he could react, he also had an extra side on his face, and suddenly felt a lot of breathing.

It is indeed an incomparably novel experience to be able to walk around the city with his fingers in front of everyone.

Yijing found that after midnight, there were not a few men and women who were wandering around in masks like them.

It seems that he is also an aristocrat.

The princess, who claims to be very experienced in going out to the streets and shopping in the market on the night of Shangyuan, has never tried to get rid of the subordinates, at least she can't see anyone following the escort in her eyes, let alone the experience of holding hands with people through the streets and alleys.

Qingque Avenue was still noisy, they walked all the way, Yijing only then found that Mo said that those kinds of lanterns, that is, she was not surprised that many snacks were unseen, but Yu Feng seemed to know everything, whenever Yijing stopped and stared at the object without blinking, he could give an explanation in a timely manner.

The noisy and noisy market, only by talking close to her ear can we ensure that we can hear clearly, such an intimate situation, but in today's light market, it will not attract attention.

Most of the colorful sheds built by the nobles on both sides are no longer there, only the lights are still bright, and from the crowd, it is a high prosperity, but it also looks extraordinarily deserted.

The beautiful scenery just flickered at it.

He also accompanied her to learn from the women of the people to walk the city walls and touch the nails.

Go to the dragon and phoenix lanterns to pay homage and pray.

Crowded in the crowd, there was a long queue to guess the lantern riddle and win a colorful rabbit lantern for her.

Xiao Tu's princess smiled happily.

But I finally felt that my ankle was sore because of the long walk.

Waiting for the car, Yijing thought that it was time to go home, and there was some regret that he didn't have fun, but he thought that he would be like this year and year, but he didn't have the pretension of reluctance.

The car did not enter the Zhengfang, and returned to the Feihua Ferry, this place is still deserted compared to the previous desertion, but it has docked a lot of painting boats, obviously the people who cruise the river to enjoy the lanterns have returned one after another.

Only then did the beautiful scenery see the gray ferry that had not been seen for a long time appear on the edge of the only brightly lit painting boat, I don't know if it was there early, or if it had just appeared.

The mask had been removed, and she was greeted by the cold wind of the winter night, which she inhaled for a long time, and did not feel the expected coldness.

When boarding the painting boat, she saw almost all the lanterns that attracted her amazement just now, at this time they were already hanging in the cabin, under the colorful lights, Yijing found Xia Ke and Qiu Yue, who had disappeared for a long time, she once thought that the two maids had also learned the skills of the secret guard, and could hide in the city.

The cabin is very spacious, and there are many charcoal stoves, and when people come in, they feel warm like spring.

The cricket bronze tripod in the middle is very huge, the hollow place can be seen in a trance and the fire is swallowed, a few steps forward, you will see a few sandalwood cases behind the furnace, placed on the white fox felt that comes down from the low couch.

The green curtain tent on the couch outlines the ink lotus, which is more elegant against the backdrop of the brilliant light and shadow of the room.

The lanterns are only brilliant on the lintels around the windows.

The light and shadow are not as abundant as the surroundings, but the light and shadow are not the common flowers, birds or people and beasts, but the words that float high and low, left and right.

Year after year, day and night.

It's that simple and timeless.

Yijing stood in front of the bed, watching the light and shadow words on the green tent continue to rotate, and he didn't notice that the painting boat had left, leisurely in the murmuring of the streamer.

Until someone hugged her and sat in front of the window, looking at the flashy street scene on the riverbank, as if a colorful picture scroll was unfolding in front of her in an orderly manner.

For a long time, they enjoyed the scenery side by side, held hands and drank tea, and were silent without speaking.

When passing through Yihong Street, Yijing could even see the signboard of Qianrao Pavilion, and seemed to hear Du Yuniang singing gracefully, and couldn't help but think of the only time she "adventured" to visit a brothel at night many years ago, and met him unexpectedly.

Looking at the people around him, compared to the time when the eyebrows were still clear, the contours of the bridge of the nose and the corners of the lips are more distinct and hard, closer to the appearance in memory.

Gradually, they approached the 10th anniversary of the Yuanqing.

At that time, he said, maybe next spring will accompany you to the lantern market and pray in front of the dragon and phoenix lanterns.

So beautiful scenery, don't regret it.

Before I knew it, the corners of my eyes became sour.

The painting boat runs through Yee Hong Street but there is no sign of turning around, and the scenery in front of you is slowly deserted.

This is......

"We stayed up all night, and we stayed on the river tonight." Yu Feng seemed to anticipate Yijing's surprise, lowered her head, put her chin on her shoulder, and exhaled with some cold curls over her sideburns: "I'll take you out of the city." ”

The outskirts of the city are completely different from the capital.

The four fields are quiet, and there are no bright lights, only a cold moonlight.

The river is becoming more and more open, and the reeds can be faintly seen.

Tonight, their painting boat walked alone and silently.

When the scenery thought that such a view would never change, the painting boat suddenly turned into a tributary.

She heard the sound of singing, laughter, and firecrackers again.

When she looked up, she was in a market town, where she had never been.

The illuminations under the eaves of the hundreds of houses here are a little rougher and more monotonous than in Kyoto, but the festivities seem to be more real.

The boat is still moving slowly.

The beautiful scenery can clearly see that some narrow alleys are deep and secluded, but under the dark eaves that are not very bright, there is no shortage of snuggling figures.

Holding hands and looking at each other, two by two, just like them.

The night market along the riverbank is very bustling, there are folk artists who step on the high and dressed in red clothes and cover the face of beasts flexibly walk through the people coming and going, some are dancing with golden knives in their hands, some are throwing fresh fruits with both hands, and some are dressed as beautiful girls, half-covering the autumn waves of Luo Fan.

The people in cloth did not seem to realize that it was already more late at night, and they tirelessly sang on their shoulders, and found that the painting boats passing by the river were dancing towards this side, smiling so simple and unpretentiously festive.

Crowds of children holding hands and following the boats kept saying festive words.

Yijing Zheng felt that they should say something, and suddenly heard the guards outside the cabin shout a congratulatory message, and then threw copper coins on the shore with a wave of their arms, causing a crowd of cheers and scrambling to pick up.

The small vendors on the shore are more peddling food, there are freshly fried dumplings, there are also wontons, Lantern Festival, the fragrance of the food is sent by the evening breeze, causing the beautiful scenery to swallow saliva, followed by a burst of "shouting" in the stomach.

So the painting boat stopped for the time being, and the skilled Gray Ferry jumped ashore to buy supper for the two masters.

When the business came to the door, she suddenly lifted her spirits, put the dozing child in her arms on the small stick, carefully cleaned her hands, tied her apron and rolled up her sleeves and was busy, the child watched her mother busy in a trance, her eyes gradually narrowed, her body fell to the ground and cried loudly, but what she shouted was not "pain" but "hunger".

The busy mother did not care too much, and frequently looked back at her son, her eyes full of anxiety.

The vendor next to him did not hesitate to take the child in his arms and handed him a hot dough, and the child immediately burst into tears and laughed and ate it with a smile.

The busy mother looked gratefully at the neighbor who had helped, and there was no word of thanks, only a smile, and the vendor smiled back, and put the child on his shoulder, carrying him to see the juggler on the corner spewing a string of fire from his mouth.

Such a picture, for some reason, makes the beautiful scenery unable to turn his eyes.

People who can be satisfied simply may truly understand the meaning of happiness.

The so-called power and wealth may only make people's hearts a bottomless pit that cannot be filled, obviously they have a lot, but they are always unwilling and jealous.

When the warm and delicious food soothed the emptiness of the stomach, the painting boat left the lively market town, and the lights and shadows weaved outside, and the flying snow shadows were swept in the air by the north wind.

It's snowing......

The two of them left the window and sat down according to the case.

I don't know when, there is already a fine wine on the table.

Yu Feng's slender fingers dropped two agate dice, and they kept stumbling in the white jade bowl with a crisp sound.

"Is the princess sleepy?" He asked.

It's not that I don't know that I have a bad habit of choosing a seat...... But he fell on the couch: "Sleepy." ”

The fox fur is soft and long, and I don't know how many layers of brocade are laid, which is extremely soft.

But the man sighed very regretfully: "It seems that I have to drink alone." ”

Immediately received a blow on his shoulder, Yu Feng turned around, only to see someone pretending to be sleepy with a pair of almond eyes: "Don't drink." ”

"It's rare to ...... tonight" Yu Pavilion begged the "Hedong Lion" with a smile: "The princess will indulge once." ”

But he proposed to play a drinking order, which was very simple, and the one who rolled the dice was punished for drinking, and answered the question of the winner.

Yijing agreed without embarrassment.

In the first hand, the princess lost, and the winner asked: "If you want to tell the truth, what do you want." ”

I don't know when, the lantern by the window is almost burned out, the light dimmed, only the light and shadow in front of the bed are still slowly circulating, reflecting the bright and dark eyes of the person asking the question.

Yi Jing thought about his wish very carefully, looked into his eyes and confessed: "During this time, I am looking forward to the Shangyuan Festival and thinking of visiting the Lantern Market with you...... I was a little depressed at first, but you always surprise me, and what I have experienced today will never be forgotten...... My heart's wish is to be with you year after year, day and night. ”

Second, the princess was defeated again......

The princess lost three times in a row......

The wine tasted a little sweet, and it was mild in the throat, but when the fifth glass of wine was lost, the princess was already dyed red.

When the sixth glass of wine is already on the lips and tongue.

In the chaos, his slender waist slumped and his arms crooked, his lips and tongue covered, and he sucked the wine in her mouth.

"This time, I will lose, and I will ask the princess."

His eyes were as bright as fireworks, and she could clearly see her own shadow in his eyes from a short distance.

Suddenly, I felt like a lot of sour and sweet emotions were squeezed into my chest, spreading out in a mess, but the wine in my throat was clearly surging with heat, and I blurted out without thinking about it: "Why do you want to visit the light market with me?" ”

Yu Feng was slightly stunned, and the fingers on his slender waist seemed to stiffen slightly.

If the memory is correct, since the reunion, he has never expressed this wish that has been hidden for more than ten years and has gone through two lifetimes.

And when I told my wish back then, I didn't wait for her answer.

I still remember the expectation of celebrating the Lantern Festival in the New Year, and she looked extremely sad, and then, he felt a sharp pain in his body.

Then she panicked, and threw herself around him and cried bitterly with remorse.

He thought that his regret could not be made up.

But God still treats him favorably.

"I haven't been to the Lights Market, never." His voice was low, still at a distance from her, and his eyes looked into her eyes: "In the past, I was sick and weak, and I couldn't stand the cold, and I only stayed on the sick bed in the warm pavilion every year...... I have heard many descriptions of the second brother, what kind of prosperity is outside......"

She knew that this "once upon a time" meant the absurd life.

I vaguely remember that I seemed to have sighed to Yu Zhou, if I could indulge in joy without scruples on Shangyuan Night like ordinary people, it would be the happiest thing.

Could it be that he heard about it from Yu Zhou's mouth......

"I want to see you like when you were at the Hong Lim Banquet, with a carefree smile...... Perhaps, if your wish can be satisfied, you will no longer indulge in grievances, and maybe, then you will think that I am not so annoying......"

"I thought that one day, if I could bring you joy, you would be able to forget some people, and one day you would accept me."

As he spoke, his eyes still bright and clear.

Her fingers ran over the corners of his eyes, pressed against his sideburns, but the inside of his eyes was already blurred.

"Never hated you...... It's me who is obsessed, but I never hate you...... Fool, you are a fool, you should hate me, you should hate me, why do you do this to me...... It's that I can't live with you, it's always been ...... I was stupid and vicious, but why did you forgive me so easily...... Yuanyang, I'm sorry, I ...... I don't deserve your sincerity at all, but I'm so greedy, and I know it's so, but I'm glad that you're back, and you don't hate me, and you allow me to be by your side......"

Incoherent, choked up and finally apologized, kissing him on the center of the eyebrow.

He let go of his wrapping arm and lifted her away slightly, his palm soft, and swept away the tears in his hand.

"Yijing, when did you find out?" Yu Feng asked with some seriousness.
