Time flies.

Smoke and red dust, and then to the Lantern Festival.

Towards evening, the colorful lanterns chase the clouds and reflect the moon, and the shadows hang high on the corners of the eaves of the streets and alleys.

Together with the sisters of Yihong Courtyard, I carried all kinds of lanterns and shuttled through the crowded crowd, constantly watching the juggling and lion dance procession.

Suddenly, someone accidentally bumped into my shoulder.

In the corner of his eye, a handsome and familiar face flashed in a trance.

It seems to be Nian'er.

I quickly looked back, but I saw that there were crowds of people around, and the lights were bright, and I didn't see the slightest shadow of Nian'er.

I lowered my head and rubbed my eyes, blaming myself for being dazzled.

But this bowing head was not tight, and I found that the lantern that Chun Sanniang bought for me was crowded.

Seeing that the good day of putting lanterns and making wishes was approaching, I hurriedly borrowed some silver from Sanniang and rushed to the old grandmother who sold lanterns.

"Old Grandma, do you remember me?"

"Of course, you are the little girl who sold fish here some time ago. ”

The old grandmother nodded, smiled healthily, and asked, "Today's Lantern Festival, why don't you go to the marriage river and wait, what are you doing here with my old grandmother?"

"Old Grandma, my lantern is broken and I want to buy a new one. ”

"Then you can pick it yourself, my lanterns are all placed here. ”

I looked in the direction of Grandma's finger, and sure enough, there were various lanterns of various styles on the ground.

There are colorful jade tree silver lanterns, brilliant peach blossom lanterns, and colorful Ruyi auspicious lanterns......

Looking at the exquisitely carved bases, I picked and chosen, and I was dazzled for a while.

"Grandma, these lamps are so complicated, beautiful and beautiful, but they seem to be very bulky. Can they float on the marriage river?"

Grandma quipped: "Many people buy lanterns and put lanterns just for fun. They only care about the appearance of the lanterns, and they don't care if the lanterns can float on the marriage river. ”

My face was full of serious worry: "When the lamp sinks, so will my wishes." I hope that the lantern I wish for can float peacefully on the river of marriage. ”

Grandma smiled, pointed to a few small lamps standing in the shadow of gorgeous lanterns, and said to me, "Then you can choose from these lanterns with oil-paper paste on the wooden base." Although it is cheap, it is windproof and sunk-proof. ”

I picked up a delicate and small oil-paper lantern, on which was printed a handsome and handsome young man, with willow eyebrows and apricot-eyed pretty women in his arms, and the two of them sat in front of the court, watching the flowers bloom and fall.

I fell in love at first sight, I was very satisfied, and I hurriedly asked: "Grandma, what is the meaning of this oil paper lantern?"

"This lantern is called mutual affection. ”

"Okay! I want this!"

I put down the silver, carefully took the lantern of love and happiness handed by my grandmother, and said goodbye to my grandmother.

The breeze blows slowly across the marriage river, sparkling blue waves, blowing lights, lining the river surface with floating glimpses, and the brilliance flows.

Two days ago, I asked the scholars in the Deep Lane School to write a poem for me-

"The car is far away, and the horse is longing. Jun travels to the east and east of Shandong, and Ande flies to chase the west wind. May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night will be bright and clean.

The moon is temporarily obscure, and the stars are always bright. Leave the light to wait for the month to return, and the three or five will be profitable. ”

I muttered a thought, meticulously scrolled the thin white rice paper, tears slipping imperceptibly into the corners of my eyes.

I put the rice paper in the secret drawer at the base of the lantern, then lit the flickering candle, put the lantern on the river, and gently pushed it, and it swirled into the middle of the river.

"Sister-in-law, are you putting lanterns?"

Black Dragon Moon's voice suddenly sounded behind me.

I looked back in surprise: "Long Yue, you are also here to put lanterns?"

"No, there's no point in putting lanterns, I'm just here to go around the red dust. Black Dragon Moon smiled bitterly.

I looked at the lantern of mutual affection floating far away in the middle of the river, and persuaded: "Put one." Maybe it can carry your heart's desire and float to your beloved. ”

Black Dragon Yue's eyes darkened, and she was silent and did not speak.

I further persuaded Long Yue to tell the origin of the Yanbo Red Dust Lantern Festival-

"The marriage river was originally called a moat. Legend has it that more than 1,000 years ago, there was a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower, in order to pray to meet her sweetheart, but she was ashamed to say it, so she wrote her heart into a lantern and floated in the river, waiting for her sweetheart to pick it up. The beautiful scenery of the good day is picturesque, which has attracted the attention of future generations to this day. Hence the Lantern Festival. ”

"Then do you know why the bridge on the marriage river is called the Bridge of Broken Love?"

Hei Longyue looked at the half-broken bridge pier on the marriage river with worried eyes, and asked in a low voice.

I frowned, I really didn't know why.

Hei Longyue was in tears, looking at the marriage river and the broken love bridge affectionately, and narrated an old time.

"More than a thousand years ago, the beautiful woman in the world's mouth betrayed the man she loved deeply. She didn't dare to see him, so she had to write her heart in a lantern and put it in the river. The woman is not praying for marriage, but for forgiveness. But the man couldn't forgive her, and in anger, he broke the bridge pier with one palm, and dropped the word broken love on the bridge. ”

"How do you know so clearly about the origin of the lanterns and the bridge?"

I had just finished asking in confusion, when I turned my head and saw two undried tears on Hei Longyue's cheeks under the white and clear moonlight......

My mind, it dawned—

"Long Yue, the woman in the legend of the lantern turned out to be you. ”
