The spring is cold, the wind is cold, and the north is still full of snow. The teenagers in the north can only watch the heavy snow and tell how much they miss the woman.

It's a different story in the south, where the air is filled with the faint smell of gunpowder from firecrackers. The thawed river is flowing loudly, and the sound is crisp and loud, and it is inspiring.

The Qinhuai River is clear and trickling.

Lantern Festival, lanterns are hung in front of every house, there are big and small, different patterns, different shapes, lights or bright or dark, far or near, looking from a distance, it is like hanging in the sky of lights, one by one lit and kneaded, very beautiful.

The young ladies smiled shyly, holding lanterns in their hands, walking and swaying in the cold spring breeze, bowing their heads and hurrying, for fear that they would be looked at by others. Brother Gongzi held a small fan in his hand, looking at the women coming and going from time to time, and his appearance was very chic.

The Lantern Festival is the peak day of the poetry meeting.

Chen Yuan has been in this world for half a year, and he has gradually abandoned his thoughts of modernity. Here, there is a family, Fan Niangzi sometimes scolds and scolds, "dislikes" her son for doing things badly, but she is also very caring, and when she talks to her neighbors, she always talks about her son's glorious deeds.

Chen Yuan had to "negotiate" with her for a long time, using both soft and hard measures to make her keep a low profile. This Nanjing is full of officials, what is there to say, after talking a few times, Fan Niangzi did see that Nanjing walked to the road, there were many first- and second-grade officials, and his own son did a business trip for the emperor, and he was white, and there was really nothing to show off.

Although she was born in Jiangning, she actually farmed at home and had little knowledge. Originally, it wasn't for show, but when I got to the city, I was free, chatting with those mothers-in-law and aunts, and I always had to find some topics.

Tonight, Chen Yuan took Dong Mingyan and wandered on the street.

The little girl of Chunhua wanted to follow, saying that she wanted to protect the young master, but Fan Niangzi refused to let her, and scolded with a smile: "You are a child, the young master is a huge person, I want you to protect, and I don't learn needlework with me, I have been doing it for half a month, and you haven't finished a pair of shoes." ”

Chunhua pursed her lips and looked at the young master's back reluctantly, and turned around to manage the line awkwardly. The little girl is diligent, but her family was poor before, how could she have a needle and thread to operate, and now Chen Yuan's family is also not too small to be well-off, and His Majesty rewards her with good fabrics. Fan Niangzi is thrifty and not allowed to waste, the little girl really has no talent for needlework, and she learns it over and over again.

As for the Dong family, Chen Yuan let Dong Mingquan enter Jinyiwei with a word, and he is still a small leader, not to mention how happy he is, in this era, no matter how rich he is, he has no status to be down-to-earth, and the merchants and some officials who bullied him before are a little in awe of him. Jinyiwei, who can afford to mess with it.

Therefore, the Dong family has long hoped that Chen Yuan will propose marriage, a virtuous nephew, and he will be called a virtuous son-in-law, they also have a house in Xuanwu, and after Chen Yuan moved, he had already sent Dong Mingyan to Xuanwu.

The business mentioned by Chen Yuan was transferred to Shuntianfu, and they also began to plan. Dong Mingquan entered Jinyiwei, Dong Hai vigorously cultivated his eldest son to be the successor of business, Dong Mingchang has been in business for many years, handy, and took over the family's business, so he naturally couldn't ask for it.

Of course, they invited Chen Yuan to his house many times to serve as a staff officer. Chen Yuan told them that when they arrived in Shuntian, if they were still doing silk business, they were afraid that it would be very difficult, and suggested that they run a medicinal herb shop. Because Chen Yuan knew that Zhu Di spent the next few years in war, and there was a great demand for medicinal materials, and it was a good way to operate medicinal materials.

Dong Hai has been crisscrossing the shopping mall for many years, and he has a keen judgment that Chen Yuan's method is feasible, so he asked someone to go to Shuntian to find a location after the year. Ready to sell some simple wound medicines, mountain horse bell, wild impatiens, yellow rhododendron, Chuanbei, bamboo leaf pepper, etc., these medicinal materials are cheap and in supply, as long as you find a doctor who can basically identify it, you can operate.

Having said that, tonight's Qinhuai River is exceptionally beautiful.

The river is flowing murmuringly, countless lanterns float on the water surface, swaying slightly, the shape is different, or into a lotus, or into a peony, competing for beauty, very beautiful. The reflection of the lamps in the river, each lamp and a shadow, above and below the water, reflect each other, just like the stars dripping in the water, gorgeous and incomparable.

This is the festival of lanterns of the flower god that is widely spread. Legend has it that every year at the beginning of the Lantern Festival in early spring, the ladies in the boudoir will write their wishes on paper, and then put them in a special lantern, let it flow down the river and with the waves. If you are picked up by an unintentional talent, you are a person of fate. The legendary god of flowers will bless this young lady who is bonded by the lantern for a hundred years.

Chen Yuan and the others walked on the street, occasionally talking a few words, Chen Yuan was calm and relaxed, Dong Mingyan was expecting something, and on the other hand, there was a girl's shyness.

On both sides of the street, the eaves of the building fly pavilions, and the lanterns are hung high. Marquee lanterns, jade rabbit lanterns, gourd lanterns, etc., all of them are vivid images, like a hundred flowers competing for beauty, each with its own mood, beautiful. The walking crowd vied with each other to watch, pointing at all kinds of lanterns, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, which was extremely lively. The festive atmosphere is even better than Chinese New Year's Eve.

Dong Mingyan suddenly got up to her senses, negotiated with the boss, asked for a peacock to turn on the screen light, asked Chen Yuan to go downstream and wait, and put the light on her own.

This girl is also superstitious about the blessing of the lamp god. But you put it, I'll pick it up, isn't this cheating?

Chen Yuan smiled, wrote down the style of the lamp, and gently agreed.

If it comes, it will be safe, although Dong Mingyan said that he was a little vain. Of course, this has nothing to do with her family, but in essence she is still a gentle and lovely girl, and everything is natural.

Since he has arrived in Daming, he allows himself to be amorous, Dong Mingyan and Wu Yuehe, he doesn't want to let go of any of them.

Thinking of this, he missed her again, and he didn't know if she was good in the palace. The palace is not far away, but it is close to the end of the world, she can't get out inside, and she can't get in outside.

After the assassination, I never saw her again, and sometimes, I could only know a little bit of news from Yuan Bin. She refused to obey Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji's patience was about to run out, and she began to be impatient, and Chen Yuan couldn't help but worry about her.

After thinking for a while, he had already arrived under a willow tree, and saw some sons and brothers wading empty-handed to catch river lanterns, and some took bamboo poles, went to pull them to the shore, and then scooped them up again.

"Brother Li." Chen Yuan saw an acquaintance who was not an acquaintance.

Li Qi was still personable, smiling as before, and said, "Brother Chen is also here to pick up lanterns?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled, it can be seen that the other party is also here, and he doesn't know who he is asking.

"Look, look, Flower-" A shout came from upstream.

"Flower God Lamp, Flower God Lamp-" The sons on both sides of the strait also exclaimed together, their voices excited with excitement.

Chen Yuan looked up and saw a lantern slowly walking on the water upstream. The lantern is half a person high, made into the shape of a beautiful woman, with a delicate expression, a smile on her face, and a fluttering skirt, vivid. This beautiful woman's lantern is covered with a layer of faint yellow light all over her body, and there are dozens of small lights around it to form a lotus shape, looking from afar, it looks like a fairy floating in the lotus.

"Shaoyou, didn't you say that Nanjing's first beautiful girl also put lanterns, will it be- hmm- hmm-"

"Bastard, can you tell the news too?" Yang Dao angrily covered the mouth of his pig teammate, but the news still disappeared.

The crowd exploded in an instant.

The crowd scrambled to catch the lamp, and even Li Qi took action.

Chen Yuan was squeezed and staggered, my obedient, the charm of the beauty is really great, seeing a peacock lamp floating, he hurriedly grabbed it, damn, these guys, you rob your flower god lamp, that salty pig hand, let go of me, don't touch my lamp.

Under the escort of Li Juzheng and others, Li Qi got the flower lantern, and opened the note inside excitedly, but his smile froze-

Chen Yuan finally pushed away a few salty pig hands, and finally got the peacock lamp, and secretly said that it was okay. If his fiancée's lantern is fished out by others, he will laugh off his big teeth.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he turned on the note of the lantern and smiled for a long time-

I saw that it read: Jiao'e is late at night, and the pear blossom wind is still and the birds are perched on the branches. It's hard to talk to people about your heart, and you know it with the blue sky and the bright moon!
