Married Thrice to Salted Fish - Chapter 77

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the spring is cold and the sun is warm. It was still early to leave the lamp market, and the shops on Yongxing Street had already hung the front door, lanterns hung under the eaves, and all kinds of lantern brackets were placed on the door lintels. In the daytime, I don’t know how to feel it. When it enters into the night, the alleys are empty, lanterns and lanterns are lit up, trees and flowers of fire, and flags and flags are connected.

When the people are celebrating, it is also a time when the defense of the capital is urgent. The Iron Cavalry Camp was so busy for the Shangyuan Festival. Although the general did not care about what the general did, it was still necessary to show his face and behave. Gu Fuzhou struggled to get up early in the morning, and went to the barracks after using the morning meal. Lin Qingyu didn’t need to go to the palace today, and he didn’t plan to go to the imperial medical office.

At noon, flower dew served Lin Qingyu for lunch. She took a bowl of milky fish soup and handed it to Lin Qingyu, and asked expectantly: “Master, are you going to watch the lantern festival tonight?”

Lin Qingyu has always been happy and quiet, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is crowded with people. He grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and he has visited a handful of times. After adulthood, I haven’t been there even once. “You want to go?”

Hualu nodded excitedly: “The last time I went to the Lantern Festival was several years ago. I still remember that there were so many people at the Lantern Festival. There were lotus lanterns floating on the Jinshui River. Later, I was sent to Nan’an Houfu to serve Xiaohouye. I haven’t been…” Hualu realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly closed her mouth.

Lin Qingyu took a sip of the fish soup and said, “Then think about it, what clothes to wear tonight.”

Hua Lu’s eyes lit up: “Master, do you want to take me?”

“Yeah.” Lin Qingyu looked at the delighted girl, “Hurry up and get ready.”

Gu Fuzhou asked a lot about the customs of the Shangyuan Festival, and wanted to go to Yongxing Street to join in the fun. He knows that Gu Fuzhou loves to be handsome, and he specifically ordered his servants to iron a few newly cut Chinese clothes for him to choose from.

Gu Fuzhou didn’t return to the house until dusk. Upon hearing the news, Lin Qingyu saw him lying on the bed, like a dried and dehydrated salted fish.

Lin Qingyu is very familiar with his state: “Tired?”

Gu Fuzhou said weakly: “Water, water…”

Knowing that this person was pretending, Lin Qingyu still poured a cup of tea for Gu Fuzhou and handed it to his mouth. Gu Fuzhou drank the tea and said, “Can you believe I haven’t fished all day today?”

“Why don’t you touch it.”

“The defense of the capital is full of loopholes. I can’t help it. After pointing a few words, I was harassed by the people of Wuhou Mansion.” Gu Fuzhou regretted that, “I could come back for lunch with you.”

Lin Qingyu said: “Looking at you like this, I don’t have the energy to go to the lantern festival.”

Gu Fuzhou was still interested in Dayu’s lantern show, but he knew that Lin Qingyu didn’t like lively occasions, so he said: “Yes, there are so many people outside. Going around will be exhausting. I can lie on the bed and imagine myself. I went out and watched the lantern festival.”

“Okay, think about it at home, I’ll take Huantong and Hualu to watch the lights.”

“Huh?” Gu Fuzhou propped his body with one hand, “Are you going?”

Lin Qingyu said, “I promised Hualu will take her.”

Gu Fuzhou slowly said “Oh”, “Then I will be with you.”

Lin Qingyu raised her eyebrows: “Aren’t you tired?”

Gu Fuzhou sighed: “There is no way, Madam wants to go shopping, she must accompany no matter how tired she is, and she has to accompany willingly.”

When the hour was almost the same, the two changed their clothes one after another. Lin Qingyu’s long hair was tied with a jade crown, and she was covered in white clothes with a hooded snow cape. Seeing Gu Fuzhou’s neat waistcoat, still dressed as a warrior, he couldn’t help asking, “Don’t you like to wear red?”

When Gu Fuzhou was still Lu Wancheng, he preferred Jin Yihua clothes. Lu Wancheng has a luxurious temperament and is most suitable for the red color. Now he is more dark, his brows are sharper when he is not smiling, and his face is cold.

Gu Fuzhou smiled and said, “Lu Wancheng is young and looks good in red. Red is delicate and tender, how old I am now. Wearing this kind of thing is the most important thing for me.” Then, he missed the past again, “It’s still myself. She’s in good health, and she won’t be ugly in anything.”

Lin Qingyu snorted disdainfully. Gu Fuzhou thought he didn’t believe it, and said, “It’s true, you can rag quickly for me.”

“I have seen you.” Lin Qingyu deliberately said in order to avenge Gu Fuzhou’s concealed revenge, “I can only say that your original body is not the type I like.”

Gu Fuzhou was not fooled: “Oh, who in the dream said I was better-looking than Lu Wancheng?”

Lin Qingyu’s tone was light: “You said it yourself.”

The two showed the house with Huantong and Hua. The night was only halfway there, and the market was full of people. There were flat-headed people walking down the street, as well as high-ranking dignitaries, men and women, old women and children, and even many foreigners. When the sky is completely dark, the lights are all on, and the brilliant lanterns cast a crimson on the tourists’ faces, saving the girl’s rouge money.

Several people walked all the way. There are countless stalls selling along the street, Huantong and Hualu are both lively temperaments. After only a short while, the stomach is full of snacks.

Huantong was eating happily, and suddenly pointed at Heaven: “Master, general, look!”

I saw hundreds of Kongming lanterns slowly rising from the direction of Changsheng Temple, lighting up the night sky. Hualu looked up, the sky filled with lights in her eyes: “It’s so beautiful…”

Gu Fuzhou said: “I always feel that something is missing here. Qingyu, where is the most suitable for watching the moon in Beijing?”

Lin Qingyu thought for a while and said, “It should be above the palace tower.”

The palace tower can only go up from the palace, so Gu Fuzhou had to give it up. At this time they were not far from the palace. Gu Fuzhou was a lot taller than most people on the street. He looked over the crowd and saw a man above the tower in the independent wind, his four-clawed python robe was blown to life.

During the Shangyuan Festival, thousands of houses were lit up, what was this person thinking.

Gu Fuzhou retracted his gaze and suddenly felt that he was hit by something. He looked down and saw that it was a little girl carrying a flower basket. Gu Fuzhou had a strong figure. The little girl almost bounced back when she hit it like this. Fortunately, Gu Fuzhou was quick to hold her back.

The flower basket fell to the ground, the flowers were stepped on by visitors, and the little girl squashed her mouth as if she was about to cry. Lin Qingyu motioned Hualu to coax the child, but Gu Fuzhou knelt down and smiled, coaxing the little girl in a few words. When the little girl burst into laughter, her mother was also found. It turns out that the mother and daughter came to the street to sell flowers.

Gu Fuzhou bought all the flowers from the little girl’s mother, and turned around and said, “Qingyu, I will give it to you.”

Before Lin Qingyu could react, he was stuffed with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms: “Why send me flowers?”

The flowers are like brocade, gorgeous and colorful, making the beauty more beautiful than the flowers.

Gu Fuzhou looked at Lin Qingyu with a light in his eyes: “There is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River. Let’s just give a sprig of spring – hey, fortunately, I memorize a lot of poems, otherwise I won’t be able to pick up your words.”

Lin Qingyu lowered her head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers: “You don’t have to be like this. You can speak as much as you are used to, and I can understand you in your native dialect.”

“Oh, then I send you flowers because of…”

At this time, the parade of lantern cars came slowly, almost filling the entire street. The woman in the car with a veil covering her face was dancing gracefully, her clothes scented, attracting countless tourists to stop and watch. However, in the blink of an eye, the four of them were washed away by the crowd, Lin Qingyu and Huantong were in the same place, and the other two did not know where they were.

Lin Qingyu wasn’t worried, Gu Fuzhou was tall and it was not difficult to find. Even if you can’t find it, just go back to the carriage and wait.

This big bouquet is inconvenient to hold in his hand, Lin Qingyu handed the flower to Huantong and asked him to carry it to the carriage first. After Huantong left, he was alone in the crowd, looking for people while watching the lights.

The lanterns were still there, and the lights were everywhere. It was exactly the same scenery as before, but Lin Qingyu looked dull. In a short while, he just doesn’t admire the lights, but only looks for people. However, there were too many tourists, bustling, face after face passing by his eyes, none of them was the person he wanted.

Lin Qingyu gave birth to something eager for no reason, thinking about whether to return to the carriage and wait, when suddenly he heard someone calling his name.

“Qing Yu.”

Lin Qingyu followed the prestige and saw Gu Fuzhou looking at him by the Jinshui River and under the fire tree.

The eyes are shining, and there are thousands of emotions in them.

This person…likes him.

——Gu Fuzhou likes him.

Lin Qingyu’s chest was hot, her heart beating like a drum. He doesn’t have heart palpitations. His heart beats so fast, and he is alone.

He stepped out uncontrollably, passing through the crowded crowd, and he was about to be by the person, and there was another push behind him, which made his steps unstable.

In this way, he came to Gu Fuzhou’s arms.

Gu Fuzhou emptied his waist and smiled and said, “What is Doctor Lin running?”

Lin Qingyu was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t even realize whether he was running here.

Lin Qingyu couldn’t help but curl her lips and smile: “I’m naturally going to use running when I come to see you.”

Gu Fuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and no longer hesitated in his hands, he held the waist of the person in his arms.

Hualu’s voice came at this time: “General, have you found the young master?”

“Found it.” Gu Fuzhou let go of Lin Qingyu, his expression as usual, “Where is Huantong?”

Lin Qingyu said, “I told him to return to the carriage first.”

Gu Fuzhou asked Hualu to go back and talk to Huantong, lest he wait anxiously. As soon as the flower dew was gone, only the two of them were left.

The two looked at each other for a while, both seemed a little cramped. Finally, it was Gu Fuzhou who spoke first: “Qingyu, do you want to go to the riverside for a walk?”

Lin Qingyu nodded: “Okay.”

The bright moon hangs high, there are countless boats on the river, and the lotus lanterns dot the water like a milky way. Gu Fuzhou is a person who talks so much at ordinary times, but now he is silent and quiet. Lin Qingyu walks beside him, not knowing what to say.

When they obviously went out, their conversations were very natural, but now they are awkward.

I don’t know how long it has passed, Gu Fuzhou coughed and said: “The moon is bright, the outstanding people are…”

As soon as he spoke, Lin Qingyu stopped.

“Shu Yao is rectified, tired and quiet…” Gu Fuzhou paused, his expression changed, “Uh, what’s next.”

Fuck, he forgot the word.

The lantern is like the day, the phoenix flute is moving, the crowd is surging, and the laughter is full. Lin Qingyu looked at him quietly, her long eyelashes couldn’t hide the gleaming water in her eyes, and the surrounding scenery seemed to have become phantoms.

Gu Fuzhou looked at Lin Qingyu for a long time, lowered his eyes and chuckled lightly, as if he was laughing at himself, and as if he was relieving tension: “Sorry Qingyu, the “Book of Songs” is too difficult to memorize. I did a few lessons after memorizing a lesson. Chapter, I have forgotten a lot now. Can I change the poem? Um… the mountains have trees and trees have branches…”

“I like you too.” Lin Qingyu said in Gu Fuzhou’s hometown dialect, “would you like to date me?”
