Dangyang Case Chapter 19: Chinese New Year's Eve
Ji Feiyun and Yueniang walked for a few more days, and finally walked out of the Saibei Wasteland, the scenery on the road is no longer full of desolation, although it is now winter, but the scenery in front of them still has some verdant embellishments, and the surrounding world is no longer lonely and stiff, some friendly and gentle.
Along the way, Chen Yue was no longer as indifferent and silent as before, but while hurrying, he talked to Ji Feiyun about the past of Shenzhou and folk customs, and would also tell him some court history and anecdotes about the rivers and lakes during the break, some Ji Feiyun heard his father Ji Quan say, and some of them were heard for the first time, and after a few days, he had some general understanding of the outside world.
On this day, when he was in a hurry, Ji Feiyun suddenly asked Chen Yue: "Sister Yue, do you know Uncle Ji Ye?" Chen Yue, who was walking, stopped, looked stunned, turned her head and looked at him with wide eyes, and said after a while: "How do you know the name Uncle Ji Ye?"
Ji Feiyun said with a gloomy expression: "It's my father who said it, when he pushed me off the cliff that day, he hurriedly said to me that Uncle Ji was my father." ”
Chenyue thought for a while, and finally shook her head and said, "I don't know. ”
Seeing Ji Feiyun's disappointed face, Chen Yue smiled again and said, "When you finish learning the spell, I'll accompany you to find him." ”
Ji Feiyun nodded in agreement, in fact, since the accident happened that day, he has been thinking in his heart, who are those people who came to the valley to find his father, what did his father do before, how his biological father is a person named Ji Shuye, there are many questions wandering and rolling in his mind, making him eager to know the answer.
Ji Feiyun and Yueniang, against the whirring cold wind, crossed the Yangguan Fortress all the way, passed through the Qilian Ancient Road, and entered the Xiliang Realm, and finally on the day of the New Year, the two of them arrived at Heishui City, a small city on the bank of Heishui.
In the afternoon, the clouds shrouded the sky for two days, and finally the snowflakes floated, and the cold wind blowing from the north of the Saibei blew the snowflakes all over the sky, and the whirring cold wind sounded like the horn of the battlefield battle, as if urging the arrival of a certain moment.
In such weather, whether it is in the wilderness or in the plains, there is no trace of it, occasionally a horse flies by, and it is also a messenger of the army, and even the merchants who are greedy for profit do not come out to trade in such weather.
Heishui City is a small city in the northwest of the mountains on the Xiliang Plain, which is the place where the Sima Dynasty stored grain in Xiliang, and it is regarded as the logistics support place for the defense of various ethnic groups in the northwest desert, and it is a very important military town. Merchants who went to Saibei also used it as a place to rest or change goods, and it started as a riverside town and gradually turned into a prosperous town.
Ji Feiyun and Chen Yue entered the city, only to see that on both sides of the streets in the city, there were many shops, hawkers and stalls were all over the street, there were many pedestrians on the street, the tavern and restaurant were full of popularity, and on the side near the Heishui River, there were many people putting lanterns, and fireworks and firecrackers were also set up in front of each house, and the whole Heishui City was a lively and festive scene.
Ji Feiyun has never seen such a lively and fun scene, when he used to celebrate the New Year in his hometown, most of the time after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his father at home, he would call Xiaohuan to go to Fluttershy's house to celebrate the New Year, and the fireworks and firecrackers had only heard of it when listening to his father's story.
Chen Yue looked at Ji Feiyun with a heartfelt face, and she was also very happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile on her face. The two of them have been walking in the desert for so many days, and suddenly they are back in the bustling city, and they feel like they have entered another world.
Chenyue took Ji Feiyun to find an inn, first took a hot shower in the inn, changed into the new clothes they had just bought, and then the two of them came to the most lively and prosperous restaurant on the street, found a corner position to sit down, Chenyue first ordered a few dishes, Ji Feiyun said that tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it must be hearty, he added roast lamb and steamed black water fish, and then asked the guys to serve two pots of good wine.
Chen Yue saw that Ji Feiyun was happy and full of interest, so she smiled at him, and when all the dishes came up, both of them were surprised, all the chicken, duck and fish were all there, and they occupied a large table.
Ji Feiyun first stuffed two glasses of wine, then stood up, looked out the window, chanted words in his mouth, spilled the wine in the cup on the ground after reading, and then picked up another glass on the table and drank it in one gulp. Chen Yue silently watched Ji Feiyun's actions with a questioning expression.
After Ji Feiyun finished drinking and sat down, she asked, "Feiyun, what are you doing here?"
Ji Feiyun stood up and poured wine into the wine glass in front of Chenyue, and said with a smile: "Every year before eating Chinese New Year's Eve, my father said that we must first toast the ancestors of the Ji family with a glass of wine, and then we can eat." ”
After listening to this, Chen Yue smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him, Ji Feiyun clinked glasses, and was about to drink after clinking glasses, but was stopped by Ji Feiyun, only to see him smile and say, "Sister Yue, before drinking, say something." ”
Chen Yue looked at Ji Feiyun with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile, "Okay, then you talk first." ”
"Shall I say first? Okay, I'll say first. Ji Feiyun tilted his head and thought about it.
Then he said with a smile: "I am really lucky to know a great beauty like Sister Yue......
"What's it!" Chen Yue interrupted Ji Feiyun's words with a smile, and his face was slightly red before he had drunk.
"Don't interrupt, I'm not done yet!" Ji Feiyun said with a smile.
He cleared his throat and said: "After the New Year, I will be sixteen years old, and I am also an adult, in the future, I must protect Sister Yue from being bullied, obediently listen to Sister Yue's words, make Sister Yue happy every day, and finally wish Sister Yue good health, more and more beautiful, happy and happy every day." After saying that, he looked at Chenyue with a grin.
Chenyue listened to him more and more numb, her face became more and more red, she became shy, and finally gave him a blank look, and then said with a smile: "Thank you!"
Ji Feiyun smiled and said, "Sister Yue, it's time for you to say it." ”
Chenyue thought for a while and said, "Then I wish Feiyun good health and all the best." ”
"Gone?" asked Ji Feiyun.
"It's gone. Chenyue said.
"Don't say anything else?"
"What else?"
Ji Feiyun pretended to be disappointed and said: "I thought that Sister Yue would say that she would take good care of Feiyun in the future and treat Feiyun well, and finally wish Feiyun more and more handsome and become the number one swordsman in the world." ”
"Good boy, you dare to take advantage of your sister! You are also the number one swordsman in the world, and you are not shy. Yueniang said with a red face.
"Sister Yue, it seems that you are blushing and shy. Ji Feiyun said with a smile.
"You, good boy, dare to tease my sister. Chen Yue put down the wine glass, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at Ji Feiyun with the other hand, although there was anger on her face, she still had a smile.
Ji Feiyun hurriedly put down the wine glass, clenched his fists with both hands, begged for mercy from Chenyue, and said: "Sister Yue, Feiyun knows that she is wrong. But there was a smile on his face.
"Hmph, you'll be comfortable in the future. Chenyue said with a smile.
Ji Feiyun hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Feiyun respects Sister Yue with a glass, I wish Sister Yue a happy New Year in advance!"
Chen Yue also picked up the wine glass, Ji Feiyun's wine glass touched it, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year!"
Chen Yue just looked like the proprietress of the Luofeng Tavern was domineering, and when she was drinking, she instantly turned into a shy girl.
Ji Feiyun raised his head and drank the wine, then looked at Chenyue and laughed, Chenyue glanced at him, his cheeks were even redder, delicate and gorgeous, indescribably beautiful, Ji Feiyun was stunned for a while, and even forgot to put down the wine glass in his hand.
Chen Yue saw Ji Feiyun looking at her blankly, her face instantly turned even redder, and she feigned anger: "Look at what!"
Ji Feiyun came back to his senses in an instant, his face was also red, he didn't know if it was because of the wine or the reason for being shy, for a while, both of them were warm in their hearts. Ji Feiyun's youthful love was just beginning, and he only felt that the moon in front of him was like a fairy in the sky, beautiful and moving.
A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not only the stomach was supported, in the process of eating, the two talked while eating, each other's hearts were much closer, after eating, Chenyue settled the account, Ji Feiyun said to go out for a walk, Chenyue by him, the two came to the street.
At this time, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the sky is full of fine snowflakes, which adds a yearly flavor to the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Ji Feiyun looked at all kinds of novel and strange toys and things on the street, he was in a good mood, jumping up and down like a child, holding Chenyue's hand, looking at snacks for a while, looking at various New Year's goods for a while, and looking at novel small toys for a while, Chenyue looked at Ji Feiyun who was happy like a child, her heart was warm, and she followed him all the way to play crazy.
In the end, they stopped in front of a stall selling hanging ornaments, Ji Feiyun stared at the colorful, novel shape of all kinds of ornaments, slowly selected, Chenyue girl heart, nature in the bones of beauty, but also attracted by the many beautiful ornaments in front of him.
In the end, the two of them coincidentally picked up a pair of jade pendants, the jade pendant in Ji Feiyun's hand was engraved with a phoenix pattern, and the jade pendant in Chenyue's hand was engraved with a dragon pattern.
The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, a business veteran, and when he saw the two of them take the pair of jade pendants, he said with a smile on his face: "The two are really talented and beautiful, born with a pair of jade people, and with this pair of dragons and phoenixes Chengxiang, it is really a good marriage that has been cultivated for thousands of years!"
Saying that, the two of them blushed, Chen Yue hurriedly paid the money, and pulled Ji Feiyun away.
The two of them walked for the first time, while strolling, and finally came to the bank of the Heishui River, where there are still many tourists putting lanterns, and there are many lanterns of different shapes floating on the Heishui River.
Ji Feiyun took Chenyue's hand and said, "Sister Yue, let's go and put the lanterns too, okay?"
Chenyue nodded in agreement, and the two ran to the lantern seller, one person chose a lantern, and the lantern seller also provided paper, pen and ink, and the person who bought the lantern could write down his New Year's wishes, and then put it in the lantern, and his dream could come true in the coming year.
Ji Feiyun and Chen Yue each wrote down their wishes, put them in their own lanterns, and then came to the river together, gently put the lanterns into the water, and watched the lanterns slowly drift away with the flowing water, hoping that the wishes they made could come true.
"Sister Yue, what wish did you make?" Ji Feiyun asked Chen Yue with a smile.
Chen Yue glanced at Ji Feiyun, blushed and said, "I won't tell you." ”
Ji Feiyun laughed and said, "If you don't say it, I know it." ”
"You know?" said Chenyue looked at Chenyue in surprise.
"Of course, I secretly saw it when you wrote it. Ji Feiyun pretended to be proud.
"Really?" Chen Yue thought that Ji Feiyun had really seen it, and she was immediately embarrassed and her face flushed.
Ji Feiyun looked at the shy Chenyue, with a treacherous expression on his face, and said proudly: "It must be related to me." ”
Chen Yue blushed and glanced at him, and suddenly realized that he had fallen for Ji Feiyun, and was immediately furious, raising his hand and preparing to hit him, Ji Feiyun watched Chen Yue come to his senses and dodge in advance, Chen Yue chased after him, and said: "Stinky boy, come to bully my sister again, see if I don't clean you up." ”
Ji Feiyun smiled and begged for mercy while dodging: "Sister Yue, good sister! I know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore, please raise your noble hand and spare my little brother." ”
"It's useless to call it sister, this time I have to let you taste the power of this girl, hum!" Chen Yue said as she chased after her.
In the end, under Ji Feiyun's repeated begging for mercy, Chen Yue spared him. The two stood side by side by the river, looking at the lanterns fading away on the river, and the lights on the river were staggered, and it was a blur.
Chenyue has never been so happy as today, let go, relaxed, and felt warm in her heart, indescribably happy and sweet.
"Is this the happiness you are talking about?" Chen Yue asked secretly as she looked at the lanterns on the river.
Ji Feiyun on the side actually had tears in his eyes, since he came to Luofeng City inexplicably, he had never been really happy, thinking about his father, Xiaohuan and Xiaodie every day, there was a moment when he felt that they had left him forever, and he was the only one left in this world, and that longing, loneliness and helplessness made him lose the will to live.
At this moment, he still misses them in his heart, but he no longer feels lonely, he has a good sister who is very good to him and takes care of him, and he is still happy.
"Dad, Xiaohuan, Fluttershy, Happy New Year!" Ji Feiyun suddenly shouted into the river, tears finally flowing from his eyes.
Chen Yue looked at Ji Feiyun with a smile and pressed close to him.
The tourists next to them all looked at the two of them with a smile, their eyes full of envy and blessings.
