Life and Death Record Volume 1: Phoenix Life 29
Shangyuan Festival, Jinling City.
The moon drifts through the clouds, the lights are on at the beginning, and the city of Jinling is very lively. Every house hangs all kinds of colorful lanterns, competing for beauty, stretching to the end of the long street, and the lights are brilliant as far as the eye can see.
The twelve lanterns in the city are full of thousands of sky lanterns, filling the sky. It is the bright moon hanging high, the lights and the moon are shining, and the splendid is brilliant.
The largest lamp tower in the city center of the lamp is called Changming Lantern Tower, there are seven floors, covering an area of nearly half an acre, carved beams and painted buildings, decorated with gold and jade, extremely gorgeous. Upstairs, the lights are colorful, the whole lamp tower is beautifully decorated, and the sound of orchestral silk and bamboo and people's cheers are heard from time to time in the building, and there is no pause for a moment.
There are huge lamp trees on the left and right sides of the main entrance of the light tower, and the trees are brightly lit and full of red silk.
Under the lamp tree, there is a girl in a smoke blue wide-sleeved long skirt, who is not very beautiful, but her temperament is gentle and dusty, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of refreshing gentleness, and her bones are full of the breath of a lady.
The girl seemed to be waiting for someone, and stood under the tree for most of the hour.
Just put this aside, if it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I'd have been waiting impatient and resentful, if you are unlucky and happen to meet someone who is in a hurry, I'm afraid that you will have already brushed your sleeves away after waiting for so long, and you will definitely turn your face when you meet again.
But the girl's patience is excellent, from beginning to end her face has not seen half of her impatience, and her quiet, gentle and gentle appearance is extremely beautiful.
After about half an hour, the girl and the others were late.
Far away, I saw a bright and lively girl dressed in a crimson narrow-sleeved jacket and skirt, about fourteen or fifteen years old, running through the crowd and running towards her, waving from afar and shouting excitedly: "Sister!
A gentle smile flowed from the girl's eyes, and she took her hand, and said softly: "You, you, you usually don't care at home, but you're still babbling outside like this." The doting tone is really inaudible, but there is no reproach.
The girl scratched her head and asked with a smile, "Sister, how long have you been waiting?"
The girl took her hand and walked towards the lantern tower, and laughed: "What's the matter, is it possible that you have changed your temperament and want to make amends with your sister?"
The girl immediately hugged her hand and said with a hippie smile: "What does my sister want my sister to compensate?
The girl was helpless, stretched out her index finger and gently poked her forehead: "You, you, it's not serious all day long." ”
The girl pouted: "Yes, yes, my sister has someone to want, and I don't look down on my unserious sister." ”
The girl's face turned red and she said angrily, "I'm talking nonsense again." "That doesn't sound like a lot of confidence.
......
The two laughed and entered the lantern tower, and not long after entering, they saw three young men in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes greet them.
The one in the middle is dressed in a big red narrow-sleeved strong, with a jade inlaid forehead of the same color on his forehead, and one on his left and right is wearing a narrow-sleeved curly fur beard, and the other is wearing a long-sleeved gown.
The young boy in a strong suit saw the two of them, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly, and then rushed up with an arrow and grabbed the girl's hand, and his eyes were full of stars and affectionate expression: "The ancients: If you don't see each other for a day, Xiao'er, during this time of separation from you, it can really be said that you are living like a year!" by the way, he turned his head and smiled at the girl in blue.
The girl who was called "Xiao'er" immediately lowered her face, stared at the disciple in front of her, and slapped her.
Deng's disciple screamed as expected, looking at his Xiao'er sadly.
The girl who was snickering on the side said to the disciple: "Your Royal Highness is really good at laughing, you and Xiao'er only met in the morning, why do you say 'living like a year'?"
The other two teenagers beside him, known as the "Three Highnesses", laughed loudly together.
The disciple is Gu Jingshen, the third son of the current saint, and the other two are Xiao Yi, the son of King Qin'an, and the other is Fang Qi, the eldest son of the mighty general.
Fang Qi bowed to the woman: "I have heard that Miss Luo Sheng, the eldest daughter of Lin Xiang, is both virtuous and artistic, knowledgeable, and she is really worthy of her reputation when I see it today!" He glanced at the girl who was pulling Gu Jingshen's ears, and his face did not change with his conscience, "I heard that Miss Luo Xiao was born bright and moving, very lively and lovely, and now I see that it is really ...... Extraordinary. ”
Xiao Yi behind him rolled his eyes.
Lin Luosheng's expression remained unchanged, and he was about to return the salute with a smile, when he saw that the other party suddenly showed a shyness and came up: "Hey, eldest lady, I heard that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are going to talk about marriage recently? When will the wedding date be set?
Xiao Yi also came up with great interest when he heard this, and the two of them stared at her like wolves and tigers.
Lin Luosheng took a step back, looked at the two familiar people with a wary look, and asked with a smile, "What do you two mean?"
Fang Qi touched his nose and immediately picked up the fake mask and put it on, waving his hand indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, just ask, when the time comes, you must let my father back up the gift." Then he squeezed his eyebrows at her and said, "When the time comes, our brothers will definitely go to the party!"
Xiao Yi squinted at him, bumped him with his elbow and coughed lightly, and stood with his hands in his hands.
Lin Luosheng looked at the two of them and smiled silently.
His Royal Highness touched the tip of his nose and stood beside her with a dry laugh and said, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, they have no malice, they are just curious." ”
Lin Luosheng blushed and said, "Don't shout." ”
Gu Jingshen pretended to be puzzled: "Is it wrong to shout?" He leaned over with a grin: "Then what should you shout?"
Lin Luoxiao pulled up the sleeves that were not easy to roll up, and stepped forward to twist his ears violently, so painful that he screamed for mercy. She let go of his ears angrily, glared at the three of them one by one, and snorted, "Sure enough, like things gather." ”
Everyone: "......"
Lin Luosheng pursed his lips and smiled, and took his sister's hand: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, let's go." He bowed to the three of them and said apologetically, "My sister is stubborn, and I hope for a lot of Haihan." ”
Gu Jingshen immediately quickly flashed to the side, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, I can't stand your gift." ”
After he finished speaking, he pushed away the other two people who were leaning on each other to watch the play, "You too, be careful that my imperial brother kills you two, go quickly." Then he pulled out a big smile and said to Lin Luoxiao: "Xiao'er, I'll come back to you later!"
Lin Luoxiao hugged her hands and snorted coldly.
Fang Qi didn't want to leave, so he pulled Gu Jingshen's hand down and said with a shy face: "It's so fast, I haven't said a few words to the eldest lady yet, and I finally saw it." I heard my sister say that the eldest lady is the most talented girl in Beijing, and you don't know that the eldest lady has always lived in a simple place, how can she leave like this with such a good opportunity?"
Xiao Yi also broke away, he nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, not only the eldest lady, but also the second miss, I am also seeing you for the first time, so you drove us away without introducing us to the two of us? Your Highness is not interesting enough, you." ”
Gu Jingshen and Lin Luoxiao both glanced at them.
Lin Luosheng looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "This is Luo Sheng's rudeness, I don't know which son the two are?"
Gu Jingshen glared at him without waiting for them to speak, and the two of them glanced at him, pointed at Fang Qi, and said to Lin Luosheng: "This one in Hu Yi is Fang Qi, the eldest son of the mighty general." Without waiting for Luo Sheng to salute, he pointed at Xiao Yi and said, "This is Xiao Yi, the son of King Qin'an." ”
Lin Luosheng smiled and said, "Luo Sheng has seen the two sons. She pulled Lin Luoxiao over and said softly, "Okay, okay, come and say hello." ”
Lin Luoxiao reluctantly bowed to the two of them and muttered, "Sister, you are really, this is not a formal occasion, what are you doing with those false things." ”
Lin Luoxiao touched her head helplessly and said, "You can't lose your courtesy." ”
Fang Qi Xiaoyi snorted, and wanted to say something to the two sisters, but was pulled away by Gu Jingshen, who was already impatient, one by one.
Fang Qi resisted: "Hey, what are you doing, I still have something to say to the eldest lady!"
Gu Jingshen slapped him on the head mercilessly: "You can stop, my imperial brother is on the second floor." ”
Xiao Yi was silent and asked, "...... Why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come down?"
Gu Jingshen: "How do I know!"
The voices of the three gradually melted into the raucous human voices.
Lin Luosheng retracted his gaze and said softly to Lin Luoxiao: "Let's go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be in a hurry." ”
Lin Luoxiao grinned, hugged her arm, and followed her to the second floor.
The two of them stepped onto the second floor and walked along a long corridor decorated with bright lights to the observation deck at the back of the lantern tower.
The observation deck is very large, as if half of the entire lighthouse has been opened to enjoy the scenery. The view is extremely open, with unobstructed views below. The moonlight was bright, and the snow and frost fell all over the ground.
Lin Luosheng looked around, there were not a few people on the observation deck, and most of them were mandarin ducks.
Most of those mandarin ducks who have little scruple about others leaning on the railing pretending to admire the moon, sighing from time to time: "The moonlight is so beautiful!"
The bold ones snuggled up directly, and they grinded their ears and temples.
directly made her blush and turned around, but Lin Luoxiao had an interested expression. If she hadn't been dragged by her, I'm afraid I would have to go up and take a closer look.
Although there are many people, there is no figure of His Royal Highness the Prince.
She pulled Lin Luoxiao to the side and stood in the corner, and said to her, "Let's wait first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not have arrived yet." ”
Lin Luoxiao immediately pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Gu Jingshen is really, he hasn't come for so long, and he has to let you wait for him, how many times have you been here." ”
Lin Luosheng soothed: "It's just a matter of waiting, it's not a big deal, and I don't have to wait every time." She suddenly chuckled and looked at her and teased, "What about others, didn't you also make your sister wait for a long time today?"
Lin Luoxiao was immediately silenced.
After waiting for about half an hour, Lin Luoxiao was already so impatient that she was about to burst out before she heard a rush of footsteps stepping on the wooden floor and making a "dong dong" sound.
Lin Luosheng looked over with a refreshing and gentle smile.
Lin Luoxiao's face was not good.
I saw a young man wearing a blue undershirt with a blue rim and a blue-edged robe on his forehead at the turn of the cloister, and he was running over sweating profusely.
The young man was very good, but his face looked exactly the same as the Third Highness they had just met.
As soon as the young man saw the two of them, he immediately quickened his pace and ran to them to stop, holding his hands on his knees and bending over and panting, "Yes...... I'm sorry, Ah Sheng, I ...... I'm late again. ”
