There is a custom in the small year of Guangling Castle called "touching the lantern".
This is the old time, the lantern of the year can not be delayed until next year, it must be lit to symbolize the old and welcome the new, and pray for the prosperity of the coming year.
Three or four into the courtyard for a long time has not been so lively, one is tomorrow early morning to set off to the capital, Sijiu and the little maids are busy moving before and after, tidying up the wraps, and the other is the lady in charge with a group of little maids in the yard laughing and lighting the lamp, boiling the sky.
At this time, only the bamboo house in the northeast corner of Sanjin Courtyard was as quiet as ever.
In one of the rooms, Qu Muping pulled his white beard and sat on a nanmu chair to diagnose Qi Su's pulse.
Qi Su is about to move his family to Beijing, Yunzhou is not far from Yangzhou, and he will come, but if he goes to Yingtianfu, the journey will be long.
Qu Muping tilted his head and closed his eyes for a moment to listen, and said in a deep voice: "The poison is almost clear, now that you are in good health, you should not cough at night recently." ” "Yes."
Qi Su responded indifferently.
"That's good."
Qu Muping originally expected to clean up the residual poison within two years, but he didn't expect Qi Su's body to recover very well, which greatly surprised him, so that he should be the best, the longer it drags on, the worse the foundation will be.
"I have prepared the rest of the medicine for you, you let Sijiu take it to torment, and it will be fine after eating it for a month."
Qu Muping looked at him and changed his words, "It's just that you have been weak for so many years after all, and your physique is not as good as ordinary people in a short period of time, so you still have to be careful not to be exposed to cold and heat, remember?"
” "Yes, Qu Lao."
Qu Muping has a bad temper, but he is very good to Qi Su, when he looked down, he looked at the obvious mottled scar on Qi Su's left hand, even if it was lighter than the original, it was still dazzling and scorching. couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity for your hand, if you had asked me to treat it in time, where would there be such a deep knife wound." ” "I'm fine, Qu Lao doesn't have to worry."
Qi Su lowered his eyes and sleeves, his tone was light, and he didn't seem to mind at all, and Qu Muping was angry when he looked at this sullen appearance.
"Hmph, whatever you want, it's all yours to do anyway."
"By the way, what about your girl."
Qu Muping glanced at the door with a dark face, chattering around Qi Su on weekdays, but today she was gone.
"I didn't tell her about the pulse."
"Oh."
No wonder, "Since you have nothing to do, the old man will go back to Yunzhou first."
If you have something, write to me again. ” "Okay." ...
The sky was getting dark, and when Qi Su sent Qu Muping out and walked back to the third courtyard, the people in the courtyard had already dispersed, and there was not much left of the red lanterns hanging in the house.
Chu Rao saw Qi Su approaching, and trotted over at him with a smile.
"Why did you come through the door?"
Qi Su didn't reply to her, glanced around, and asked, "It's all burned out?"
” "No," Chu Rao picked up the lever of a lantern and stuffed it into Qi Su's hand, "Oh, this is one for you." ” Qi Su took a step back and said lightly: "I don't need to." ” He's not a child, so he's not going to do that.
"You have the right to stay with me."
Chu Rao turned around and lifted the last one, muttering, "I just rejected the purple smoke, and kept one waiting to meet you." ” Qi Su hesitated for a few breaths, then picked up the lantern with his slender arm and touched Chu Rao's one lightly, "Okay." ” The man who has always been cold and self-controlled, and who does not eat the fireworks of the world, makes people laugh when he does such an action.
"Haha, how can you touch it so lightly, you come with me."
Chu Rao pulled him to the bright and open place in the courtyard and looked at the debris that had not piled up around him.
"Don't move."
She sighed, stepped back more than ten feet, and then trotted up, carrying her lantern and rushing to Qi Su's lamp, and slammed into it.
In an instant, the lantern paper in Qi Su's hand was torn, and the firelight lit up, although it was only brilliant for a moment, it was like fireworks swaying in the night, dazzling.
"Haha, Qi Su, you're losing."
Chu Rao stood in front of Qi Su with her waist crossed, looking up with a triumphant face.
The lantern in Qi Su's hand burned into a bamboo cage with only a light rod left in a blink of an eye, he used to know that he touched the lamp, and he thought it was literal, and finally put it in the fire bucket and burned it out together.
For the first time, he knew that it had collided like this.
"Well, lost."
Qi Su recognized it so quickly, Chu Rao suddenly became a little embarrassed, and said with a red face, "Qi Su, you are so smart on weekdays, why didn't you find out that I was cheating." ” "When I was very young, I never beat my brother, and after studying for a long time, I found out that he used this method."
Chu Rao stretched out her finger and pointed to the shiny little thing shallow embedded in the red paper of her lantern, and said honestly: "Look, it's this kind of little hook." ” Qi Su followed her delicate fingertips and looked over, and sure enough, she saw a small silver hook.
He frowned and glanced back at Chu Rao, how could anyone be so bored, what she had learned from Chu Sui since she was a child.
"Childish."
"Of course it's naïve, it's something I played with my brother when I was eight or nine years old."
Chu Rao turned her back to Qi Su and pulled over the cleaned fire bucket, and said indifferently: "That's not what I heard Sijiu say, you have all seen the touch of the lamp, so I want you to take a look." ” When Qi Su heard this, he paused slightly.

After Chu Rao finished saying this, she put the last remaining flaming red lantern into the barrel.
When he looked back, half of his face reflected the candle flame in his lantern, and his beautiful cheeks were facing him, and he said angrily: "What are you doing stupidly, come here, and make a wish after burning." ” Qi Su relieved himself and stepped forward.
"Qi Su, what wish do we make?"
"What do you want?"
"Haha, I hope you and I will go well together and live to be eighty years old!"
"Okay."
Qi Su's thin lips pursed a shallow smile.
"Then perhaps, the family is healthy." *** The night was quiet, the hustle and bustle of the day had passed, and the candles had been extinguished early in the three courtyards.
On the wooden couch in the south-facing master bedroom, the man's handsome face and eyebrows were locked, and his eyelids trembled slightly, as if he had dreamed of something.
The sunset faded, and the surroundings were gray and white, and the ruins of the broken walls could be seen everywhere.
Qi Su clearly knew that he was in a dream, and he looked at the other self who seemed to be sitting alone in the carriage, and he was also going in the direction of the capital mansion.
But according to the clothes of the passers-by, it is not the middle of winter like now.
Wailing could be heard everywhere, which obviously meant that he had left too late, and the city gates of Yangzhou had already been affected. ...
Halfway through the dream, Qi Su woke up suddenly, cold sweat ran down the arc of his jaw, hidden into the collar of his obscene clothes, and his chest was the ups and downs of his violent breathing.
He was conscious in the dream, and Fang Cai's feelings were the same as when he dreamed of Chu Rao.
Could it be that these are all things that happened in a previous life?
