I quickly walked up the stairs and entered the house. With a "yeah", it was like I had suddenly entered a channel with sound from a silent world.
The whole world came alive.
There was a "pop" sound, which was the sound of a brush being thrown on the table. Su Ci, who had just been sitting at the table concentrating on writing, turned around when she heard the sound and said, "You're back!"
She said with a smile, her voice clear, light and quick.
Su Ci dropped her brush, ran over in her slippers, hugged his arm and glanced at him, "Have you eaten?" Do you want some midnight snack?
She was smiling, her eyes were bright and big, and she probably just took a shower, her temples were slightly wet, she looked lively and cute. Yang Yanzong put his arm around her waist and said with a smile: "Eat, don't bother."
He lifted her up and hugged her. She cleverly put her arms around his neck and rubbed their faces. She felt itchy and leaned back, laughing happily. She jumped back and ran away, "Then I'll ask someone to bring you a bath!"
She even disliked him: "It stinks! You must not have taken a shower yesterday?"
Yang Yanzong didn't have time to take a shower every day, so it was good enough for him to have meals on time. He laughed and scolded: "Okay, you've become braver, right?" She actually dared to despise him.
She smiled and shouted outside, and hot water was brought in. Yang Yanzong held her and dragged her to the bathroom. Su Ci: "..."
She hugged the pillar: "Hey, hey, I've already washed it!!"
A bath together is nice to do occasionally, but she smells so good that I’m not interested in taking a second bath.
Yang Yanzong snorted twice, moved his head closer, and rubbed it against her face and arms several times. "Didn't you say it stinks? Come on!" Su Ci screamed and laughed, and was finally carried on Yang Yanzong's shoulders and strode inside.
The laughter in the house spread outside, and it was so comfortable and happy. Azhao and Akang looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Hey, they also want to get married.
"Let's go and take a shower!" A group of young men also went back in groups, laughing and joking.
The hot water washed over every pore on his body, and he grabbed Su Ci and asked her to rub his back vigorously. Of course, he would accidentally rub his hair once in the process. After they were thoroughly cleaned and refreshed, they were both soaked from head to toe. Finally, they leaned on the soft couch and rubbed each other's hair. Su Ci muttered and complained: "I was about to fall asleep, and look at what you did to me..."
She glared at him.
Yang Yanzong leaned on the couch. The exercise helped him digest food quickly, but he was not hungry. He did not want to eat. He did not like to eat at night. He was lying on the couch lazily, their body temperatures touching each other. He felt very comfortable. He pinched her cheek: "What's wrong with you keeping me company?" He glanced at her: "You are not sleepy."
Su Ci's eyes were soaked in water, and her eyelashes were still a little wet. They looked black, shiny, long and curled. The pair of eyes below, with distinct black and white, were glittering and vivid. She looked very energetic. Why was she so sleepy?
Su Ci couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Being held by him, she simply lay on his chest and chuckled twice. Suddenly she remembered something, straightened up, blinked at him, and quickly jumped down to the ground, rolled up the account books that had been spread on the square table and returned them to him, "Here, it's settled."
She had a bit of a toothache. These books were Yang Yanzong's private accounts, and the expenditure figures in them were so large that she was frightened.
Yang Yanzong was too busy a few days ago and had no time to deal with it. When his subordinates presented this part of the account book, he casually told his wife about it.
Su Ci guessed that was part of it, and that was enough to scare her. She knew that there must be something unknown under Yang Yanzong, but she really didn't expect the accounts to be so large. Where did he get so much money and where did he spend it?
Yang Yanzong smiled and couldn't help teasing her: "I'm busy, I'll let you take care of these things from now on, okay?"
"No, no," Su Ci quickly shook her head and waved her hands. "No, brother. As a nobody, she is not very interested in this business. The more she knows, the greater the responsibility, okay?" She was so exhausted that she said, "Forget it. I don't like to settle accounts."
"Anyway, I won't do it. Do you hear me?" She acted like a spoiled child again, hugging Yang Yanzong's neck and cuddling him. Yang Yanzong couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, okay, I won't do it."
"So lazy." He touched the tip of her nose and kissed her.
Having achieved her goal, Su Ci suddenly became lively again, laughing for a while, and did not forget to ask for a reward: "Aren't you going to give me some reward?"
She winked at him.
"Reward," he said, "You need to be rewarded for doing a little work." However, Yang Yanzong smiled and pretended to think about it, then said, "How about I give you something tomorrow?"
Today is August 14th and tomorrow is August 15th, when people and the moon will be reunited. Even if you miss the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also good.
Su Ci's eyes lit up, "What is it?"
Yang Yanzong smiled slightly and patted her butt. The two rolled on the couch and changed positions. The evening breeze was gentle, and the moonlight filtered through the window screen and sprinkled on her face, making it white. He curled his lips and said, "I won't tell you yet."
As she muttered "tsk", he hugged this lively and restless girl tightly in his arms, smiled slightly and closed his eyes.
"Go to sleep. Aren't you tired?"
"My hair is still a little wet. How can I sleep..."
"Let me see. Wipe it for me."
…
The two of them played and laughed, and their topic sometimes wandered to the horizon, and then came back to the topic again. They kept talking until the middle of the night, and only fell asleep in each other's arms when their hair was almost dry.
It drizzled the next day. In the early morning when it was just dawn, Yang Yanzong woke up to the sound of raindrops outside the window, but he didn't want to get up.
With a little thing curled up in his arms, in the warm, cozy and fragrant boudoir, Yang Yanzong was a little tired after running around for so long. He simply followed his heart, gave himself a day off and slept in.
Just lying there holding her in his arms, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally. With her long black hair half draped over her, he lazily turned over and pressed his thighs on her. Sure enough, she moved soon and became a little awake.
Su Ci dreamed that she turned into a turtle, carrying a huge mountain and climbing up the slope with great effort. She climbed and climbed until she was so tired that she could not bear it anymore and woke up.
She rubbed her eyes, muttered a few words, and then he pulled her into his arms. They took a nap and when they woke up, it was already mid-morning. The dripping sound of a clock seemed to indicate it was noon, but they did not get up. They hugged each other and talked and chatted. While talking, they rolled around in the sheets and then fell asleep again. This repeated twice without even having lunch. Su Ci fell asleep, and Yang Yanzong simply forgot about the trivial matter of lunch.
On their days off, the two of them sleep in the same bed, hugging each other. Once the tent is drawn, it becomes warm and cozy, and it becomes a world of its own, making people reluctant to leave.
Su Ci had been here for so long, but she had never been able to stay in bed so comfortably. The two of them slept until the afternoon before getting up. Su Ci, with sleepy eyes, rubbed her hungry stomach, glanced at Yang Yanzong, and could not help but burst out laughing.
He looks so lazy with his disheveled hair, which adds a touch of unruly femininity. From this angle, he looks a bit like a factory supervisor, haha
Yang Yanzong didn't know that she compared him to a eunuch, otherwise he would have been furious. However, Su Ci's secretly happy look a little irritated him, "What are you laughing at?"
This snickering look was really a bit malicious. Yang Yanzong snorted twice, clamped her hand, and gave her a five-clawed golden dragon meal. Su Ci almost laughed to death, and was finally dragged to the dressing table by him. He only stopped after she ceded land, paid compensation, and promised to tie his hair.
Su Ci tried several times before finally succeeding. She complained that he had too much hair, and he said not as much as hers.
She tied his hair and put a crown on it, and he put hairpins in it. Yang Yanzong also wanted to draw eyebrows, but Su Ci didn't need that thing. Her curved willow-leaf eyebrows were naturally beautiful without any paint.
He had no choice but to give up with regret.
The two had a late lunch and then set off back to Suiping.
…
She put on casual clothes and mounted her horse. Yang Yanzong brought a few of his personal followers with him, following her closely. He held the reins and rode with her.
After leaving the city, the big brown horse spread its four hooves, and the whistling wind blew towards us.
It rained this morning, but not heavily. The road was not muddy, and the grass and trees were greener and fresher. The faint sunlight was shining, and the countryside was vast and boundless, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.
Su Ci was a bit lazy at first. After being messed around with by Yang Yanzong several times, she was a bit tired, but she was revived to full health unknowingly. Yang Yanzong increased her speed, and she couldn't help laughing. Her clear laughter spread across the grassy field, making the people behind her couldn't help but curl their lips.
The two men rode their horses all the way and returned to Suiping at around the end of the afternoon. The sun was setting in the west and the sunlight was warm and cozy.
They were almost at the gate of the Yang family, but unexpectedly Yang Yanzong stopped his horse first. Su Ci looked back at him curiously with her black and white eyes wide open, but he got off the horse, took two steps holding the reins, turned into the alley leading to the Su family, and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to go back to your mother's house and sit for a while?"
He chose to take Su Ci to visit the Su family first.
Su Ci's eyes lit up, "Yeah!"
If this man could really be more thoughtful, he could be very considerate.
Want a reward!
Su Ci jumped to the ground and was steadily caught by Yang Yanzong. She hugged his neck and kissed him left and right several times.
Yang Yanzong snorted and laughed: "Are you happy?"
Su Ci smiled: "Hmm~"
The tone is drawn out, and the sound is so disgusting that it is estimated that you can squeeze out a pound of honey.
However, Yang Yanzong enjoyed it very much. He snorted, but the corners of his lips were curled. He held the horse in one hand and Su Ci in the other, and went to Su's house first.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a rare occasion that Su Di comes home early. The family is busy preparing for the festival. Although Su Yan is full of energy and can do the work of two people, at this time, Chen can't help but nag her little girl.
Su Di was comforting everyone when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of a door opening. Everyone looked up and was immediately surprised and happy.
"younger sister!"
Su Yan jumped and rushed out. The Su family members were overjoyed and rushed out one after another.
"Father, Mother! Sister, Brother Yichu, I'm back!"
Su Di Chen smiled from ear to ear and opened his arms to catch the little girl who rushed over to him. A father's love is always more subtle. Su Di touched the top of Su Ci's head, lowered his head to take a closer look, and only when he saw his daughter's rosy face and bright spirit did he feel relieved.
"Come on, come in and sit down."
After the happy reunion, the family went into the house. Today was a big day, and if they went to the Yue family to pay homage, they should formally greet them. Yang Yanzong did not say much, but directly lifted his robe, knelt firmly in front of the hall, and kowtowed to Su Ci, "Father, Mother."
Su Di was a little restless, but he still endured it. As soon as the couple finished their conversation, he immediately stood up and helped Yang Yanzong. Yang Yanzong didn't know how to address him for a moment, so he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down."
Yang Yanzong sat upright on the left, and although he spoke briefly, his expression was still very relaxed. Soon the hall was filled with the chattering of Su Ci and Su Yan, mixed with Chen's laughter and scolding.
The men just watched with a smile.
Lin Yichu sat in the back, staring at Su Ci's smiling face and Yang Yanzong's profile for a while, a little distracted, but was quickly called back by Su Yan.
Su Yan held a pomelo in her arms and chopped it with her bare hands. It was specially shipped from the southwest. The Su family had it, and Su Ci had sent a lot of it back as holiday gifts. Her mother, sister and Lin Yichu all liked to eat it. Anyway, this thing is durable.
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Yan smiled and threw half of the pomelo over, almost hitting him in the face. She laughed out loud. Lin Yichu came back to his senses and caught it, shaking his head helplessly.
The family shared a pomelo and peeled a lot of tangerines and melon seeds, making crumbs all over the floor. Time passed quickly and happily. Finally, Chen saw that it was getting dark and hurriedly urged them to go back.
Only then did Yang Yanzong and Su Ci stand up, and the family saw them out the door.
He waved goodbye, walked around the poplar willows and turned a corner. It was getting dark. Su Ci ran holding the reins of the big brown horse and looked back at him and smiled.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Yanzong raised his eyebrows.
Su Ci smiled and didn't answer him, asking even though she knew the answer. "Okay, brother, good job. Praise you. Keep it up next time!"
Adhering to the principle of rewarding good work, she jumped up and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then looked around guiltily.
Yang Yanzong touched his face, smiled without saying a word, and the two of them walked hand in hand back to the Yang family.
When I got home, big lanterns had already been lit in the corridor. There were also many paper-cuts and colorful paintings that were not usually seen. The only difference was that the styles were a bit conservative, and it was obvious that Yan's aesthetic was in line with that of the Yan family.
However, at night, the lanterns were lit, and the red ribbons and love knots that had not yet been removed from the eaves were reflected, making it look quite festive.
This red ribbon and the love knot were left behind when Yang Yanxin and Su Rong got married. They had been married for more than a month. Yang Yanzong led Su Ci into the moon gate of the back house. The first person he saw was Su Rong, who was wearing a light red double-breasted jacket and skirt, and was obviously dressed as a woman.
Su Rong came to greet Yang Yanzong and his wife. Standing in the corridor opposite were Yang Yanxin and Yang Yanzhen, who had gone home to change clothes. When Yang Yanzong and Su Ci strode in, the two of them greeted them hurriedly: "Brother, sister-in-law."
Su Rong also bowed deeply and called them brother and sister-in-law.
In ancient times, in more formal occasions, standing positions were very particular. Su Rong stood on the woman's side, and Su Ci was standing close to her.
Yang Yanzong nodded and called out, Su Rong stood up. Yang Yanzong glanced at her and said a few words lightly, probably something like harmony and diligence. Su Rong hurriedly followed Yang Yanxin and bowed again in response.
Standing up again, the two sisters looked at each other and felt a little awkward. No, it wasn't awkward. It was just a little subtle and not as natural as with other people.
But it was nothing. Su Ci didn’t care much. She just kept smiling, nodded, and walked away.
"Okay, go in."
Yang Yanzong spoke and looked sideways at her. Su Ci smiled and followed him in first.
…
Overall, the atmosphere today is relatively harmonious.
Although according to gossip, the rift between Yang Chongying and Yan Shi has widened and their relationship is more unfriendly than before, but today is a major holiday and both of them seem to be smiling. Even Yan Shi rarely had a smile on her face throughout the whole event.
They went in first, and the three brothers were divided into three groups. Those who had wives brought their wives with them, and those who didn't had wives went alone. They kowtowed to their parents and greeted them. Yang Chongying and Yan Shi both stood up happily.
After that, it was time for the reunion dinner. The table was ready, and the family didn't separate the tables for men and women. Su Rong stood behind Yan and didn't take her seat right away. Yang Chongying glanced at Yan and told her to sit down, saying that it was a holiday and there was no need to be polite. Yan glanced at Su Rong and said, "Okay, go sit down."
Su Rong smiled, bowed, and served tea to Yan and Yang Chongying before she retreated respectfully and sat down next to Yang Yanxin.
Su Ci, who had already sat down early in the morning waiting for food, received a look from Boss Yang. This guy gestured to her, "Look at how other people behave as their daughter-in-law?"
Su Ci smiled and kicked him.
Yang Yanzong's face remained expressionless. He moved his feet and pressed down her feet. She pinched him, but he grabbed her hand and held it in his palm, locking her hands and feet so that she could not move. She resisted for a while and gave him a pitiful look. Only then did he let go of this little thing who was overconfident and provocative.
The two of them exchanged glances and joked around a bit, then waited for Su Rong to sit down and the banquet began when everyone was present.
We had a lively reunion dinner, and then went to the small garden to admire the moon and chat.
The people at home have been holding it in for long enough. The Sixth Prince's Mansion and Yang Yanzong have been in a thrilling situation recently, and the family has been talking about it in their hearts. Although Yang Chongying has sources of information, it is relatively superficial. To know more in-depth information, they have to ask Yang Yanzong.
Yang Yanzong spoke briefly, and all in all, the conclusion was just one sentence: the matter of the Sixth Prince's Mansion is almost coming to an end.
As for what happened next and what happened with the old emperor, there was no point in saying more and he didn't say anything nonsense.
When Yan heard this, she felt relieved and immediately smiled. Just now, she asked Yang Chongying a question, and although Yang Yanzong was reserved, he also said lightly that he was the temporary leader of the Six Kings faction.
She couldn't help but feel happy. She thought about how she used to look up to the Sixth Prince's Palace, but now that she was in his shoes, she felt as excited as if she were sitting on a volcano.
She said several good words, smiling happily, but then she glanced at Su Ci who had been smiling but not saying anything. She felt unhappy thinking that this unpleasant eldest daughter-in-law followed her son to live in a big house in Yangdu Mansion every day and enjoyed a good life. She said, "The eldest daughter-in-law has been away from home for some time. Now that she is back, she should concentrate on her studies."
But this time, before Su Ci could speak, Yang Yanzong interrupted her and said, "I need her help with something."
He was unwilling to leave Su Ci alone at home in Suiping.
Yan was choked by him, her face turned green, she was silent for a long time, and then she was very expectant, she said hesitantly: "Son, what about our family? Will our family also live in Yangdu in the future?"
Yang Chongying had been holding back with a frown, but finally couldn't bear it any longer and yelled, "Shut your mouth! Is this house not big enough for you or what? Go wherever you need to go!"
He didn't want to say a word to Yan, and after saying that, he turned his head and said to Yang Yanzong: "Da Lang, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Just make arrangements according to the actual situation at home."
This matter concerned the whole family. Everyone in the family couldn't help but look up, especially Yan, who had an indignant look on her face, but she clenched her handkerchief and looked at her son expectantly.
Yang Yanzong thought about it and realized that it would not be convenient for him to stay in Suiping now. He would probably live in Yangdu for a long time in the future, so he really had to make a decision on how to arrange things for his family.
There were some things that Yang Chongying did not say clearly, but Yang Yanzong understood them. Yang Chongying knew that his son would not be at peace in the court, and in fact, it would be relatively safer for his family to stay in Suiping.
This is practical.
On the one hand, this is true, but on the other hand, after he came to power, his control over the Zuowei Camp was greatly strengthened. He transferred a lot of people there, including Su Di and Yang Chongying.
If you run back and forth like this, it will actually be very inconvenient to go home.
If you don't move at all, it would seem a bit deliberate.
Taking his mother's wish into consideration, Yang Yanzong finally decided: "Okay, let's move our family to Yangdu."
"The Su family should also move."
He stared at Su Rong and ordered, "Daughter-in-law Yanxin, help mother to clean up the house, and then discuss with Ci'er's parents to choose a date to move to Yangdu Mansion."
Su Ci was impatient to take care of the affairs in the backyard, such as how much the vegetables cost to buy, whether the withered flowers were real or fake, how much copper coins to exchange for them, and she also had to deal with Yan. Forget it. Yang Yanzong had asked her about it before, and she was not willing to do it.
Since she was unwilling, and Yan was afraid of mistakes if she managed the inner house alone, Yang Yanzong intended to let Su Rong assist her.
This was a disguised way of handing over part of the power of the inner housekeeper to her. Su Rong was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. She suppressed the joy in her heart, stood up and responded respectfully.
Yan was not very happy, but this little unhappiness was insignificant when she met her wish of moving to a big house in Yangdu to enjoy a good life. She was a little unhappy for a while, but soon she was smiling from ear to ear.
"Okay, then hurry up and pack up the big things at home, don't delay."
Yan gave the order in a reserved manner, and even gave Su Rong a friendly smile for the first time.
This joyous atmosphere continued until the moon-viewing session was over. Yang Yanzong did not sit for long. As he saw that the time was almost up after talking for a while, he stood up.
"Okay, Dad, Mom, I'm going home first."
He glanced at Su Ci, and Su Ci understood and hurriedly followed him.
She smiled happily. The boss did a good job today. It was nice to see Yang Yanzong protect her without hesitation.
"Where are we going? Aren't we going back to the room?"
The two of them took a shortcut along the corridor of the small garden to the stable, and coincidentally, Su Rong could see the stable from the back window of her new house.
After the show, she returned to her room and heard the neighing of horses and the faint laughter of men and women from the stable. Her heart moved and she gently opened the window a little.
Seeing this, she felt a little sad.
Under the moonlight, I saw a tall and straight man, holding a horse in one hand and the familiar pretty girl in the other. I don’t know what she heard, but she smiled with her eyes curved.
The usually cold and indifferent man now shed his indifference and had a very gentle smile on his lips.
It's completely different from what I just saw.
From a distance, one can sense the deep affection between the two, and one can't help but think that he must love her very much.
Su Rong felt bitter. The small courtyard she lived in was quite spacious. Yang Yanxin didn't like her at first because she was a concubine's daughter, but she was gentle and considerate, and they got along better than at the beginning.
And in time, unless there are any unexpected events, the prices will continue to rise as they do today.
Her future children will be taken care of by their uncle and will never fall into the mud.
She was Mrs. Yang, and she got everything she asked for.
However, Yang Yanxin was far from being considerate and caring towards her, and Yan was also extremely difficult to serve. Even before she entered the house, the other party had already given his second son a concubine to have sex with, and Yang Yanxin did not refuse.
Okay, stop thinking about it. Life is never perfect. You have obtained everything you wanted, and now you even have the power of housekeeping. You should manage it well. Don’t think about it, don’t compare, and don’t be right!
Su Rong closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear.
She quickly and quietly closed the window.
But before closing it, she couldn't help but take another look. Finally, she thought, she must be very happy and cheerful, right?
…
Whether she is happy or not, that’s not the point. Su Ci has never thought about this issue, but it is true that she is very happy now.
Because Yang Yanzong said he would take her to see the lanterns.
As soon as she left, she pestered Yang Yanzong to ask him for a gift. He said yesterday that he would give it to her today!
"What are you going to give me?"
She looked at him with her beautiful eyes, ran around him, and kicked the pebbles on the road from time to time. No matter where she went, she was so excited.
Yang Yanzong held her hand, smiled but said nothing. He wanted to keep her in suspense.
"Huh? Why are you in the stable? Aren't you going back to your room?"
Yang Yanzong stopped, untied the reins of his big brown horse, and held it in his hand. "Let's go to the city to see the lanterns. Do you want to go?"
Su Ci's eyes lit up: "Go, go, I'll go!"
How could she forget that there was a Lantern Festival on August 15th in ancient times! It is said that the whole city is out in the city for a grand festival with fireworks and lights, and there is not even a curfew on this day.
She was very upset because she had never made it to the event since she came here, and she actually forgot such an important event.
"Let's go now," she said excitedly, "Can we still make it in time if we go now?"
She was a little worried. It was already this late, the market might not close!
"In time."
It was just the most lively moment. He stretched out his finger to scratch the tip of her nose, then jumped onto the horse and leaned over. Su Ci was already very skilled. She jumped up with a smile. He grabbed her waist and held her horizontally in his arms. He drew his cloak around her and squeezed her belly. The fat horse leaped away from home lightly.
Today's moon is big and yellow, casting a soft halo, reflecting the stars in the sky, and the moonlight and starlight shine on the two of them.
The horse's hooves were light and fast. Yang Yanzong carried her in his arms and rode at full speed. In just over two quarters of an hour, they arrived at the south gate of Suiping City.
"Wow!"
It was really lively today, with cars and people coming and going in and out of the city. It was so crowded that I finally got into the city gate. The south gate was the lantern area. It was the first time I saw the grandeur of this kind of traditional festival by the ancients.
Three-story scaffoldings were erected from the beginning of the street to the end, on both sides, one street after another. The shops on both sides of the road did their best to display a variety of lanterns. The vibrations from the upper levels had no effect on the common people. Everyone was in high spirits. When dusk fell, all the lanterns in the shops, carts and stalls were lit up. The whole city was truly brilliant with fireworks.
Su Ci opened her eyes wide and said "so beautiful, so beautiful" several times in a row. She was so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
Her performance naturally pleased Yang Yanzong and proved that the program he arranged was correct. To be honest, he had never watched the Lantern Festival in all these years and had no interest in it. But now, holding her hand, he thought it was not bad.
He stroked the top of her hair, handed the big brown horse to A Zhao behind him, and said with a smile: "Let's go."
The two of them joined the crowd and walked slowly along the street.
There were lanterns, riddles, fantan, acrobatics, and everything else. Su Ci clapped until her hands turned red. Whenever she liked anything, Yang Yanzong would give her coins.
However, the most common things on the street were riddles. Su Ci was not very good at guessing riddles, but she excitedly pulled Yang Yanzong and squeezed in.
She guessed none of them correctly, but Yang Yanzong did win a good prize and got a big lantern made of colorful paper. Su Ci picked it up with great interest, but before she could be happy for a while, the lantern ignited after a while, perhaps because the candle holder was a little crooked or not made well. She screamed and had to throw it away and stomped it out.
She was a little unhappy and walked away for a while with droopy brows and eyes, but Yang Yanzong turned around somehow and handed a very beautiful revolving lantern to her.
"This is for you. Do you like it?"
This revolving lantern was specially made. It has a mahogany frame and is carved with butterflies and phoenixes. It is polished to be as smooth as water without any burrs. The gauze is apricot-colored gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, so thin that you can clearly see the flickering candlelight inside. On it, there are beauties fanning themselves with fans and playing with dishes, and there are also children with pigtails playing. What's more amazing is that it is inlaid with colored glaze.
Nowadays, colored glaze is very precious and it is not an exaggeration to call it a treasure. However, this revolving lantern is inlaid with twelve pieces. Each piece is exactly the same size as a palm and is inlaid in a mahogany openwork frame. It is made of top-quality colored glaze, one piece of colored glaze and one piece of silk gauze. The heat rises and pushes the revolving lantern, which spins around. The beauties on it have flying clothes and the children are running and playing. It is really beautiful!
Su Ci exclaimed twice, this is simply a treasure of folk art! She was so cautious that she didn't dare shake it, for fear that it would burn again by accident.
She was really surprised and delighted, "So beautiful, so beautiful, so great!"
She said to Yang Yanzong happily.
Yang Yanzong curled his lips slightly, as long as she liked it.
It was worth it that he took time out of his busy schedule and specially instructed Akang to find a famous lamp maker. This pattern was drawn by him personally. I wonder if Su Ci noticed that the profile of the beauty chasing butterflies is exactly the same as hers.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t find it now, you can leave it as a little surprise for later.
Yang Yanzong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. This lamp won't flicker or burn. Just keep going."
Su Ci shook it tentatively, and sure enough, the candle moved slightly, and it was steady and stable.
She chuckled.
Yang Yanzong took her hand and said, "Let's go."
"Um!"
She excitedly carried the beautiful revolving lantern and walked through the streets and alleys. Children stopped to watch her. She enthusiastically competed with them. Only after she beat them did she happily continue walking.
The two of them walked through a neighborhood full of children. As the night gradually deepened, the flow of people slowed down a bit compared to before. All they could see now were pairs of lovers.
The moon is above the willows, and people are making appointments for after dusk, talking about tonight and the Lantern Festival.
In ancient times, today is actually considered Valentine's Day.
Ordinary people don't have so many requirements, they all have to work to earn money, and ordinary people don't really care about the rules of the upper class. But today, couples come together in droves. In addition to ordinary people, there are also many well-dressed young couples dating secretly.
For a moment, the streets were full of pink bubbles.
At this time, fireworks rose from the South Gate! Red and blue, one after another exploded with a bang, and many people also lit the firework sticks in their hands, and sparks sprayed out.
When the fireworks were about to end and there was a pause, many young men around him secretly kissed their beloved girls. Yang Yanzong also heard the red-faced young man under the locust tree not far away saying softly: "I love you!"
The girl blushed and lowered her voice to whisper something back to him, and the boy grinned.
Yang Yanzong's heart couldn't help but feel hot.
When love is deep, one desires a response.
He is no exception.
He had wanted to say this to her and ask her a question a long time ago, but he never found the opportunity.
During the time they were together, she seemed to be able to melt his heart and his emotions.
And he could feel that when they were in love, she was also very happy and she was really happy.
Therefore, he inevitably had a lot more expectations.
"Porcelain."
He held her hand and pressed her against his heart. With a "bang", when the biggest firework exploded in the sky, his eyes were shining brightly. He whispered, "I love you, too."
He originally wanted to say "I am pleased", but he was affected by the people around him and felt a little embarrassed, but he still spoke in a quick tone.
He hugged her and stroked her face, "Do you love me?"
Su Ci: “…”
Why does the topic jump so much?
To be honest, Su Ci was watching the fireworks very seriously. It was the first time she had seen ancient fireworks. Suddenly, Yang Yanzong pulled her back. Then, she was stunned. What the hell! This fatal problem popped up when she was not paying attention.
She had always had a premonition that she could more or less sense Yang Yanzong's emotional changes, which made her uneasy, fearing that he would suddenly ask her some cruel questions one day.
Su Ci smiled, her expression unchanged. She glanced back at him, put her arms around his neck and smacked him: "You're so amazing, who wouldn't love you?"
Yang Yanzong smiled and said, "How amazing."
He kissed her back, but didn't allow her to fool around. He straightened her face and asked again, "What about you? Do you love me?"
Yang Yanzong spoke very seriously. It was obvious that he couldn't fool her. Su Ci was a little confused for a moment. Of course she knew what was the most correct answer, but this man was not easy to fool. He was sharp and serious. It was a passionate time and his feelings could not tolerate any flaws.
Su Ci thought about it. At least, Yang Yanzong was sincere to her now. He even risked his life to guard the checkpoint to prevent her from entering the infected area. Even for his sincerity today, she didn't want to lie to him.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally put away her usual playfulness and gave him the most truthful answer after thinking about it.
Love, the word love is too heavy. She has never loved and doesn’t know what it feels like.
She whispered, "As long as you don't have anyone else, I will always like you."
There are as many surprises as there are expectations.
In an instant it was like falling from mid-air to the ground!
Suddenly, a cold wind blew across his chest, and his empty, restless heart and the joy that was boiling with anticipation of joy suddenly stopped.
"As long as I have no one else, you will always like me?"
This was an unexpected answer for Yang Yanzong, so much so that he didn't know how to react for a moment. He repeated it again, with a smile still frozen on his face. After a while, he said, "Then your feelings are really special."
As long as I have no one else, you will always like me?
What if there is someone else?
He wanted to ask back, cuteness is an emotion that runs deep in the bone, it can be thrown away at any time, actually this is very telling.
No no, he was asking about love.
She also responded with love when she was joking.
But this time the answer was "like".
Just like her feelings for him, the two of them were simply not in the same dimension.
She was sinking deeper and deeper, but she was standing by the water.
She knows everything and she understands everything.
She just never thought about loving him sincerely, never thought about giving her heart to him, she never thought about it! !
For a moment, Yang Yanzong suddenly hated himself for being too clear-headed.
His sharp mind allowed him to analyze the problem to the extreme in an instant.
He was a little confused and a little incredulous. Compared to this moment, the happiness and romance of tonight seemed like a joke.
He stared at her blankly, his Adam's apple rolling, as if he was suppressing something.
After a long moment, he sneered, let go of Su Ci, and turned away.
He walked faster and faster, and finally he started running. But after only a few steps, he was lost in the crowd and out of sight.
