The name "Minqiu" makes Yang Yuanqing very familiar, but he can't remember it for a while, he turned around, only to see three young girls running here with lanterns, the people on the bank of Luoshui are surging, it is not easy to find a vacant space to put the lamp, Yang Yuanqing with ten subordinates, ten people just left, immediately vacated a place, and was discovered by these three mothers.

Running at the front was Pei You, she had a keen eye and was good at seizing opportunities, and when she saw the vacancy, she immediately beckoned her two younger sisters to come over.

She didn't see Yang Yuanqing, grabbed a sitting stone, rejoiced in her heart, and hurriedly greeted her two younger sisters, "Xi'er, Minqiu, hurry up!" ”

Yang Yuanqing recognized the three of them, they hadn't seen each other for two years, the three of them were still together, and there was a joy in his heart to meet the old people in a foreign country, especially that Minqiu, Yang Yuanqing was deeply impressed by her.

His eyes couldn't help but look back, only to see two girls running quickly with lotus lanterns, and one behind them was a pretty figure, dragging a Biluo palace fan in his hand, and holding a lotus leaf lantern in his left hand, the wax on the lamp had been lit, and the lamp was flickering and bright.

Pei Minqiu bought the lantern originally picked a pole, but her lamp rope was broken, so she could only hold it with her hand, but she took a Gongluo fan, which was very cumbersome, and she held it all the way, her wrist was sore, and she was about to go to the water's edge, she was anxious, and she accelerated her speed, but she was tripped by a stone under her feet, and she stumbled, and the lotus water lantern came out of her hand.

"Oops!" She let out an exclamation, and a dark shadow flashed beside her. Reached out and caught her lantern.

Yang Yuanqing handed her the lantern and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't fall." ”

"Thank you, Childe!"

Pei Minqiu hurriedly took it and gave a salute. But the other party's voice was a little familiar, and by the faint light, she peeked at Yang Yuanqing, and her eyes lit up.

"General Yang, is it?" She cried out in surprise.

"Where don't we meet in life, Miss Minqiu. I didn't expect us to meet again in Luoshui. Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, other book friends are reading:.

I haven't seen her for two years, Pei Minqiu has grown a little taller, and her body is not as thin as last time.

"General Yang, isn't it in Dali City, Wuyuan County?"

Pei Min asked in a voice, and quickly glanced at Pei You and Pei Xi'er not far away. A hint of blush couldn't help but fly across her face, why did she have to go into such detail, and she hurriedly explained, "I heard that General Yang won the battle in Dali City. ”

"It's a bit of a family affair to come back this time, and it's only been an hour since I arrived in the capital, what a coincidence! I met the three of them again. ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that Pei You and Pei Xi'er had stepped forward, so he raised his voice and smiled.

Pei You and Pei Xi'er didn't expect to meet Yang Yuanqing by Luoshui, especially Pei You. There is a kind of loss in her heart, she got married last year and married the Taiyuan Wang family. On the eve of the visit, her husband became ill and died after a few days, leaving her a widow.

Although the ethical requirements of marriage are from the beginning, in fact, it is very common for widows to remarry, whether it is royal nobles, nobles and bureaucrats, or ordinary people, they all have the freedom to remarry. e I don't think that remarriage is immoral or insulting.

In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, the rites and religions withered, and after the death of the minister, his beloved concubine Shi maid, his descendants married and sold him. It became customary, and some ministers died after the death of their colleagues in the court. 'When the court hears of his death, he rules his concubine at night, has no shame, and abandons the righteousness of friends and friends. ’

Therefore, in the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian issued an edict, 'All wives above the ninth grade, concubines above the fifth grade, the husband cannot be remarried', but in fact it has no effect, the woman is willing to marry, the man is willing to marry, and the man and woman can manage it with an edict?

However, the famous family has its own family rules and face, the Pei family and the Wang family discussed, the two sides reached a compromise, Pei You was widowed for the deceased husband for three years, and then he could marry at will, the Wang family no longer asked, during which he could live in his mother's house.

Despite this, Pei You's innocent body still recited the name of a widow, which made her depressed in her heart, and no one was allowed to have a 'widow' word in front of her, and the homophony was not allowed, two days ago Pei Xi'er was to tell her a hexagram, and the result was not good, and she brought a 'hexagram' word, which made her annoyed, and her face was gloomy for a few days.

Pei You felt inferior and self-pitying, she didn't dare to look at Yang Yuanqing, she just gave a salute, "General Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that she was no longer dressed in the boudoir, so he thought that she was married, and maybe her husband was next to her, so he didn't dare to do anything more with her, and arched his hand and smiled: "Congratulations to Mrs. Pei!" ”

His words made Minqiu and Xi'er look pale, and they both waited for Pei You to be furious, but Pei You smiled sadly and gave another salute, "Thank you, General Yang!" ”

Yang Yuanqing introduced them to his maid green tea, and the three girls saw that the green tea was innocent, although they were maids, they didn't despise her, and they all laughed with her.

At this time, the surrounding people moved, everyone left the shore and ran towards it, and someone shouted: "Come and see, the Buddha Light Doubao has begun!" ”

The three Pei family girls jumped up happily all of a sudden, slapped their palms, and after they put on the lights, they waited to see the Buddha's light and a hundred plays.

"General Yang, let's go together!"

Min Qiu warmly invited him, "I heard that there are new tricks this year, it's rare to see them, it's a pity not to go." ”

"Childe, let's go!" Green tea is also begging on the side.

Yang Yuanqing saw the praying eyes of the ten pro-soldiers, and he didn't see Pei You's husband coming to find the lady, so he smiled happily: "Let's go!" Let's go together. ”

Green Tea jumped up with joy, took Pei Minqiu's hand and ran south, although Green Tea was innocent, but her mind had a well-behaved and smart side, she saw Pei You's face changeable, happy for a while, miserable for a while, she suspected that she was sick and didn't dare to approach her; Pei Xi'er was cold and indifferent, a little despised for her maid identity, only Pei Minqiu was tolerant and kind, and treated her enthusiastically, she immediately fell in love with Pei Minqiu, took her hand and jumped towards Dingdingmen Street - other book friends were watching:.

Luoshui lantern and Yulan Buddha light are the two grand scenes in the capital on the night of the Midyear Festival, Luoshui lantern is in Luoshui, and Yulan Buddha light is in Dingdingmen Street, this is because the capital's powerful families and ministers basically live on both sides of Dingdingmen Street. The Buddha light of Yulan can only appear in front of the mansions of the powerful and famous.

Almost every household has to make a bowl, but the bowl is simple to make, that is, fruits, vegetables, rice, and other foods, or placed in front of the door. Invite passers-by to eat it, or place it in a temple and worship the Buddha.

The wealthy families such as the powerful and the ministers have gradually changed their taste, and they do not want to be on a par with the households, so they use pearls instead of vegetables and fruits, and gold and silver grains instead of rice. Elaborately decorated, placed in front of the house gate to worship the passing gods and Buddhas, at night, and the lamp is reflected, so that the jewels are brilliant, dazzling, and the light wheel is formed from afar. Therefore, secular people call it the Buddha's light, and the Buddha's light comes from this.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he couldn't help but be extravagant, and the Buddha light of Yu Lan began to be popular again, and the people of Shishu watched the lanterns and appreciated the wealth, and flocked to it, making the Buddha light of Yu Lan a great scene in Kyoto.

"Miss Minqiu, how is Ling Zu doing now?"

Unconsciously. Yang Yuanqing walked side by side with Pei Minqiu, at this time, of course, he was also willing to walk with a young and beautiful girl. Instead of talking about the strategy of defending the city with a bunch of boring subordinates on a snowy night.

Like green tea, he didn't like Pei Xi'er's coldness very much, he knew that it was Pei Xi'er's character, not her deliberate coldness, but he still didn't like it, with such a woman, it would be cold in a few words, he consulted at the last Pei Mansion family banquet.

More importantly. He is a little more familiar with Pei Minqiu, and the conversation with Pei Minqiu at Yang Lihua's birthday banquet two years ago left a deep impression on him, this is an unpretentious, frank and sincere woman.

As for Pei You. It is best to stay away from those who have become relatives. Just now he already knew that Pei You was unmarried and widowed and lived in his mother's house, although he was very sympathetic in his heart, but after all, Pei You was widowed, and his feelings for her were far from the level of ignoring gossip - good-looking:.

In contrast, he liked Pei Minqiu's tranquility and kindness, not far or near, neither lukewarm nor hot, which made him feel very comfortable and calm, compared with the helpless youth of the broken enamel bottle two years ago, she became mature and calm.

"Thank you for the general's concern, my grandfather is in good health, I heard a little sick the day before yesterday, everyone was worried, but I rested all night, and I went to court as usual yesterday morning."

Pei Minqiu waved the Gongluo fan, walked side by side with Yuan Qing, and she smiled coincidentally: "The month before yesterday, my grandfather also mentioned in the family study that he criticized the children of the Pei family for not being diligent, and they are all weak scholars. ”

"Grandfather has won the award, the peaceful and prosperous world, or the literary style is more advantageous, a martial artist like me, just because of a martial artist."

"The general is too modest!"

Pei Minqiu pursed his lips and smiled, his cheeks were like a glow, and said, "Who doesn't know how to write?" 'But to make the dragon city flying general, do not teach Hu Madu yi is the general's poems, sonorous and powerful, making people forge ahead, and when the general saw me just now, he casually said, where do you not meet in life, but you can see the deep meaning in the plain, and the ordinary Pei family children may not be able to write, and 'Rather be a centurion, not a scholar', isn't it what the general did when he was five years old? ”

Pei Minqiu's eyes were full of anticipation, and his smile was full of laughter, which made Yang Yuanqing secretly ashamed, but he was a little proud in his heart, and he was revered by a beautiful woman.

"Let the girl smile." Yang Yuanqing laughed dryly, he was a little strange, had Gao Xi come to visit Pei Ju?

Pei Minqiu refused to let him go, although she was not Pei You's fiery temper and couldn't hide her thoughts at all, but she was not Pei Xi'er's quiet and introverted, and her heart never let people know.

Yang Yuanqing's martial arts she knows, but she wants to know more about Yang Yuanqing's literary talents, not long ago, the former Xiangguo Gao Xi came to visit his grandfather, and his grandfather mentioned that Yang Yuanqing defeated 100,000 Xue Yantuo troops in Dali City, which can be called an anecdote when Yuanqing was five years old, he wrote a poem, which is amazing, after more than ten years, Gao Gong still remembers.

Pei Minqiu saw this poem inadvertently, she was full of curiosity, but she didn't believe it, she wanted to find a chance to let Yuanqing write another poem, isn't it an opportunity tonight?

Sister You and Xi'er have long disappeared with green tea, and ten of their subordinates have followed them from afar, with a cool breeze and quiet nights, which is a good day to write poems.

"The general might write another poem for the occasion?" Pei Minqiu laughed in a low voice.

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, in the end, he asked him to write poems, and when he learned something, he had already returned it to his aunt, where would he write, even if he copied a poem, he couldn't remember it for a while, so he waved his hand again and again, and excused himself: "This can only be inspired by chance, if I really want to write obscene poems, wouldn't I become a scholar, and I will go to guard what Dali City." ”

"General, let's just do a lewd song! I promise not to tell anyone, I'm the only one who knows, General, okay? ”

Pei Minqiu's tone was coquettish with a girl, and her lively pair of autumn waves made her look like water, and her appearance was like a flower, which made Yang Yuanqing's heart pound.

"Let me lewd for what?"

Pei Minqiu looked up and saw a hanging Milky Way spread overhead, the starlight was dense and bright, and she suddenly remembered that a few days ago it was Qixi Festival, that night she looked up at a hanging galaxy, Gu Ying felt sorry for herself, and there was a trace of unclear feelings in her heart, she sighed lowly, and said slowly:

The river is clear and shallow, how much is it different?

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent.

Yang Yuanqing could feel the sadness in Pei Minqiu's heart, he didn't know if she was Gu Ying self-pity, or if she had a heart, and her family was difficult to achieve, and he wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start, he looked at the Milky Way hanging in the sky, remembered a swan song that has been recited for a long time, and also said in a low voice:

Slim cloud tricks,

Flying stars spread hatred,

The silver man traveled all the way to the dark.

Jin Feng Yulu meets,

It is victorious, but there are countless people in the world.

Tenderness like water,

The best time is like a dream,

Endure the return of the magpie bridge.

If the relationship between the two is long,

And in the morning and twilight?

This poem actually made him feel a little sad in his heart, and after walking for a while, he suddenly found that Pei Minqiu was not seen around him, and when he looked back, he saw her standing more than a dozen steps away, staring at the Milky Way, and her eyes were a little stupid.

"If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight", Pei Minqiu said to herself, she was completely immersed in the infinite artistic conception of this Yuefu song, the kind of tenderness like water, the best time like a dream, made her intoxicated, she had forgotten those vulgar Buddha light fighting treasures.

She sighed, turned around and walked back, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly caught up with her, "Miss Minqiu, do you want to go back?" ”

Pei Minqiu shook her head, lowered her head and walked a few steps, and suddenly, she stared at Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile: "General Yang, give me this Yuefu song, okay?" ”

Over, she suddenly felt inappropriate, there was a sick sentence in these words, this is a love poem between lovers, how can you give it to yourself, this will be a misunderstanding, her face turned red, she lowered her head in shame, her heart was panicked and confused, I don't know how to explain it to him?
