In the sound of firecrackers, the year is eliminated.
One year after the present, although there are not many people in the Duke's Mansion, it is still lively. Red silk wrapped with silk hung all over the hall, and lanterns were wrapped in red gauze and softly hung in five steps, one by one, under the eaves in front of the corridor. The servants and servants who came and went came and went with joyful expressions on their faces. People wore new clothes and said auspicious words to each other when they met, hoping that the coming year would be better.
From the busyness of worshiping the ancestors in the morning to the New Year's Eve banquet given by the palace at night, I have some free time.
Chu Yu took medicine recently, and did not drink alcohol at the banquet, but the red candles in the room matched the colorful silk, and her face reflected a bit of hibiscus color, as if she was slightly drunk. Qin Zheng drank a few more glasses, stared at Chu Yu, whose eyes were covered with white silk, and stretched out his hand to gently pinch his chin.
Chu Yu leaned on the rattan chair covered with tiger skin, relaxed and lazy. He raised his hand and pushed away the paw on his chin, and said, "This New Year's Eve, don't you want to go back?"
Qin Zheng knew that Chu Yu was asking him if he would go back to the Marquis's Mansion, so he said: "No, Zhen'er was left in the palace for New Year's Eve, and I will accompany you today." After thinking for a while, he said: "In the future, too, Year after year, I only accompany you."
Chu Yu didn't speak, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly, probably because of the red candle, her color was compelling.
Qin Zheng got closer, leaned into his ear and said, "Are you afraid of the cold, go for a walk?"
Chu Yu gathered the robe around her body, and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold, I'm just afraid that someone will think of ways to torment you."
Qin Zheng smiled, held Chu Yu's hand and kissed it as if to please him, begging, "Are you still angry because of what happened last time?"
Chu Yu withdrew her hand, hummed lightly, stood up with the recliner on her arms, and said, "It's dark outside, help me up."
Qin Zheng didn't need to make arrangements, he wrapped the prepared fox fur around Chu Yu long ago, put his arms around his waist, and said, "Deling, my second master."
…
The fine snow still remains on the branches, the nine-curved corridor is full of vermilion lanterns, and thousands of candles are brighter than the stars in the sky.
The lights under the porch, the snow on the branches, the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Ling Hanmei all make up a beautiful scene that is difficult to paint with fine brushwork. It's just that the thousands of scenery are not as good as the smiles of the people in front of you.
The stools in the pavilion were covered with soft seats, and the small clay stove was gurgling hot water, and a pot of Junshan silver needles was being brewed. The tea was fragrant, and the dense water vapor blurred Chu Yu's eyebrows and eyes.
Qin Zheng gently stroked the white gauze covering Chu Yu's eyes with his fingertips: "The imperial doctor said that the light in the daytime is too strong for your eyes, so you might as well take off the gauze at night. Today is supposed to get rid of the old and usher in the new. I hope that everything from the past will be left in the present, and I will see the sun at this moment. Qingci, I want to take it off for you."
Chu Yu nodded and said, "Don't think too hard, it will take some time for the eyes to fully recover. Although they can be taken off now, I'm afraid they won't be able to see clearly."
"I know." Qin Zheng leaned over and kissed Chu Yu's forehead lightly: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine."
Chu Yu's heart warmed slightly, and it was a lie to say that she wasn't nervous, and she didn't know what it was like until she was blind for several months. Living in the boundless darkness all day is really hard. If it weren't for Qin Zheng's careful company, he couldn't stand it. Although there were only a few words of relief at the moment, it made him feel at ease.
The white gauze was taken off, and the fragrance of the medicine was blown away by the breeze. Qin Zheng wiped off the residual medicine in front of Chu Yu's eyes with a handkerchief, watching the long and curved eyelashes tremble slightly.
"Qingci, look at me." Qin Zheng slowly cupped Chu Yu's face and said.
For the first time, Chu Yu felt like a toddler, and timidly opened her eyes with apprehension and expectation for the road ahead.
Qin Zheng saw that Chu Yu's eyes were as calm and bright as obsidian soaked in snow. The line of sight falls in the distance without focus, and then slowly condenses in front of the eyes, like a pool of autumn water, which is too beautiful to behold.
"Qingci...you, have you seen it?" Qin Zheng didn't notice the tremor in his voice.
Chu Yu was silent for a long time, and slowly raised her eyes to look around, after a while, she bent her lips and smiled: "I see."
Qin Zheng opened his eyes wide and was as happy as a reckless child. He stretched out his arms and hugged Chu Yu tightly: "Really? But really? What did you see?"
Chu Yu reached out and hugged Qin Zheng gently, and whispered in his ear: "The stars in the sky, the moon in the cup, the person in front of me."
"Qingci..." Qin Zheng's eyes were burning hot, and he couldn't help laughing out loud for a long time, with all kinds of feelings in his heart that were unspeakable, and he gave it to him with a kiss.
Chu Yu raised his chin, and responded tenderly with his lips and tongue, so Qin Zheng kissed his eyes again and again.
Chu Yu sighed and said, "It's just vague or vague, and I can't see it very clearly." Before Qin Zheng could speak, he smiled again and said, "It's okay, it's enough."
The moon in the cup is the moon in the sky, and the person in front of you is your sweetheart.
The stars fell in the middle of the lake, the branches were covered with snow and fragrance, and there was a sudden explosion above the head, and gorgeous fireworks were set off in the sky of Shangjing at midnight.
The new year is here.
