Chapter 17 Heart-beating fireworks

Heart-beating fireworks,

he used his shoulders to block the pushing crowd, lowered his head and whispered to her: "Miss Yan, it's you."

His voice was clear, so it seemed particularly clear among the noisy people around him, like a stream of Clear water flows into the ears.

Yan Qing raised her head and looked at him blankly. After nodding, she stuttered and said: "Jiang...Brother Jiang..."

Jiang Weiren looked around and saw that it was a bit crowded, so he said softly: "I'm offended."

Then . He held her wrist and led her slowly to a place with sparse traffic.

As soon as there were fewer people, Yan Qing felt uncomfortable. Jiang Weiren said nothing again, so she politely said: "What a coincidence... your injuries are all healed?"

Yan Qing did it subconsciously. She was sincerely concerned about his injuries. Wanting to know if he was okay, when he asked, his eyes naturally fell on the injured area.

Her mind was a little confused at the moment. When her eyes fell, she realized that something was wrong. But at this time, Jiang Weiren had already seen her gaze.

Yan Qing's face suddenly turned red, and she raised her eyes in panic. If she raised her head at this moment, she could see the ear of the person in front of her, which was also the same crimson color as her face.

Jiang Weiren coughed and said in a low voice: "Yeah, okay."

Yan Qing wanted to scold himself, why did he ask this, but he just asked, and his eyes were still looking around.

"There are many people here, let me take Miss Yan back home." He thought for a while and said.

Yan Qing answered awkwardly: "I came with Shen Zhu. He must be looking for me now. I have to wait for him..."

"Master Shen from the Imperial College?" Jiang Weiren pondered, and then said, "Then I I'll take you to look around and see if you can meet Mr. Shen..."

Yan Qing nodded, and thought about how Shen Zhu used the light ball to look for her every time. If she had the light ball, it would be easier for her to meet him. , but she didn't bring any money when she went out, so she had to bite the bullet and say to Jiang Weiren: "Brother Jiang... can you lend me some money?"

Jiang Weiren didn't expect that she would ask him to borrow money, so he asked: "Do you want to buy something? I'll buy it for you."

She pointed to the place selling lamp balls in the distance, "I want to buy a lamp ball..."

Jiang Weiren looked at it, and the crowd had not dispersed, and he joined her. He walked over, but maybe she got separated again, so he took her to a lamp shed. There was a string of jade rabbit-style lanterns hanging on one side of the shed that could not be found anywhere else.

"Wait for me here, and I'll buy it for you."

Yan Qing nodded, and then watched his back disappear into the crowd. She was still thinking that maybe Jiang Weiren had found him before Shen Zhu came back, but she waited and waited. , waited for a long time, and saw that Jiang Weiren had crossed the crowd and walked towards her.

Both of his hands were empty. One hand was holding the lamp ball she wanted, and the other hand was holding a bunch of lion candies. .

"This is..." she asked, pointing to the lion candy.

He arched his eyebrows

and said, "This is for you too." Yan Qing was a little confused at first, but she looked around and realized that the children around her were holding light balls in one hand and lion candies in the other.

She suddenly understood that Jiang Weiren must have thought that she wanted the light ball just for fun, just like these children. Although she didn't ask for lion candy, she saw that the children around her had one, so he bought one for her.

I wanted to explain the function of this light ball, but Jiang Weiren seemed to be very thoughtful about his purchase of lion candy. The look on his face clearly showed a sense of relief that "now you have their candy", so Yan Qing could only take it. , smiled and replied: "Thank you, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Weiren took the light ball over very considerately and said, "Let me hold it for you."

The implication is that you can concentrate on eating the lion candy in your hand.

At this moment, a voice of surprise suddenly came from the crowd, "Quick, the fireworks are about to be set off!"

Tonight's fireworks were arranged by the imperial court, and they have been the same every year. There are so many places in Beijing to celebrate the festival, and Yan Qing visits them every year. You have to rush to Xuande Tower because the fireworks here are the grandest.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but pause. When she was looking up, she heard several "swish" sounds in her ears, and then countless firelights exploded in the air, like clusters of fire trees, lighting up the entire night sky. It was extremely spectacular. .

She and Jiang Weiren stopped there, looking up together.

Yan Qing suddenly turned his head and saw that under the bright firelight, his slightly raised profile was as graceful as jade, glowing with a glimmer of light.

And his eyes, which were as bright as obsidian, reflected the countless brilliant lights in the night sky.

It wasn't until the fireworks were completely over that the two of them came back to their senses.

Yan Qing could only stupidly hold the candy in his hand and walk beside him. In order to cope with it, he actually lowered his head and licked the candy.

"What a pity..." She lowered her head and said sadly.

The voice was so small, but he heard it. He leaned over and asked, "What's the pity?"

She looked at him, her eyes glistening with a little regret, "My hosta fell off..."

He didn't speak. , probably because she is not good at comforting a little girl like her.

Finally, on the periphery of the crowd, she heard Shen Zhu's voice calling her, and followed the voice to find him.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Shen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time there was a thin layer of sweat on his head, which showed that he had been looking for her anxiously.

He couldn't help but said with a straight face: "Do you know that I'm getting anxious?"

As he said that, he saw the candy in her hand, and she clearly felt that Shen Zhen's face became darker, as if to say , I'm looking for you in a hurry, you still have the heart to buy this thing.

She wanted to say that Jiang Weiren bought it, but it seemed harder to describe it. At this moment, Jiang Weiren's voice came to her ears, "Now that I have found Mr. Shen, I will say goodbye."

Shen Zhu said goodbye to him. After saying goodbye, he and Yan Qing found the Yan family's carriage and returned to the Yan Mansion.

She mentioned the loss of the hosta with some guilt. He sighed, touched her head, and sighed: "What's the point of losing the hosta? I was afraid that you would lose it..."

Yan Qing didn't know that on the day of Shangyuan, a Her brother Yan Lan ran to the Hanlin Academy early in the morning.

On this day in previous years, he would always go to Qujiang. The flower houses along the bank would let their top girls come out to perform for everyone. There were also all kinds of interesting activities in the yards of each house. He would go there and walk around until dawn. Don't want to go back.

He thought that Jiang Weiren must have never been to Hualou to experience Shangyuan, and he wanted to take him to open his eyes, but he refused without hesitation.

"Although my injury has healed, it's hard not to rest for a long time."

Well, Yan Lan felt that his health was the most important thing, and he really couldn't force others to do anything, so he could only tell him to take a good rest with great regret.

"Aren't you going to go back and spend the holidays with your family?" Jiang Weiren suddenly asked.

"My parents went to bed early, so they usually light up more lanterns at home for fun. It's very deserted."

Jiang Weiren continued to ask, seemingly unintentionally, "What about Miss Yan?"

"My little sister," Yan Lan smiled. , "She doesn't want me to accompany her. She and Shen Zhu go to Xuande Tower to watch the fireworks every year. This girl will never get tired of something if she likes it. She has watched the fireworks in Xuande Tower for more than ten years, and she still gets excited every year..."

He Shaking his head, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Weiren's expression and joked, "The same goes for that boy Shen Zhu. I see him every day and he doesn't feel bothered..."

Jiang Weiren nodded and murmured in a low voice, "Xuande Tower..."

This was not his first time in Beijing to celebrate the Yuan Dynasty, but he had not seen the fireworks at Xuande Tower yet.

In the spring of the next year, since the difficulties in Beiqi had been resolved, the ministers of the imperial court no longer worried about it. Shizong had already disposed of the defenders who had lost Jiading and Yingcheng, and added troops to Jiading.

In the eyes of everyone in the court, the most difficult winter has passed.

When Yan Lan first mentioned to his father that he was going to Northern Xinjiang, Mr. Yan Ge was naturally opposed to it. Who knew that Yan Lan actually took it upon himself to resign from his post in the Forbidden Army. However, this time, in the face of his father's scolding, he did not stop. contradict.

"Father, my son knows that you have placed great hopes on your son since he was a child." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "But my son has always failed to live up to your expectations. He is a civil servant and military general, and his loyalty to the emperor and the country is not high or low. Although my son always keeps saying He disdains corrupt Confucian scholars, but he has always admired his father very much, because in the eyes of his son, his father is not only a clean figure in the court, but also the mainstay who can turn the tide. When Beiqi broke through, the son always thought that his father would definitely advise His Majesty to send troops to fight. , but..."

Mr. Yan Ge didn't say a word, and Yan Lan continued, "What the father is thinking about, the son understands that the situation of the party struggle between the DPRK and China does need to be done step by step... But the father also understands better than anyone else that this What kind of hidden dangers will be planted for Dayu if he is seeking peace? In the cabinet, the son understands that his father has many concerns and also understands his father's far-reaching strategies, but the son would rather be a person without "great wisdom" and without such thoughts. , I only care about the country and don't care about anything else."

Yan Qing's eyes dimmed when she heard this. She saw the slightly trembling hands in her father's sleeves and knew that every word her brother said must be beating like a heavy drum. Father's heart.

She had also heard that her father was a high-spirited man who had won the palace exams and was a great scholar and mentor. She had seen the articles written by her father in the study. Although they were a little childish, the writings were full of heroic spirit. thousand.

That day, his father took the memorial written by Jiang Weiren and said, "You are still too young after all..."

He said this, but Yan Qing also saw that his father had clearly read the memorial several times.

Perhaps, in those words, he saw his former self and his innocent heart. At that time, he was not "too young".

It's just that the stars have changed, and the white horse has passed, and he has been trapped in the court, fighting every day, sometimes even at the expense of the interests of the family and the country in order to fight, but he can never find his original intention again.

She may understand her father's helplessness better than her brother.

"You go ahead," Yan Gelao turned around and stopped looking at him, "You are already weak, and your future life will be decided by yourself. My father will not interfere in the future."

There was a kind of difficulty in his father's words. In the vicissitudes of life, father and son had quarreled in the past, and there were many times when his father gave in to Yan Lan, but that was different from this time. In the past, it was because of his father's helpless indulgence of his son. This time, he really planned to let go.

After he resigned from his father and only the two brothers and sisters were left, Yan Qing realized that Yan Lan's plan was not to go alone this time, but to go together with Jiang Weiren.

They are going to the ten cities in Northern Xinjiang. These ten cities connect the border defenses of the North. They are also the ten beacon walls of the North. Their cities, terrain, and garrison not only determine the success or failure of the border, but also determine the entire Peace in the Central Plains.

On the day the two set out, Yan Qing went out of the city to see each other off. She opened the car curtain several times along the way and could see the backs of the two riding horses. When they reached the pavilion outside the city, she was about to stop.

Yan Qing prepared a lot of things for her brother. She kept reminding her, and Yan Lan came over and rubbed her head, "Okay, I will be back in more than a month at most."

Although the brother and sister bickered from time to time on weekdays, they could This is what makes them even closer. It was only when Yan Qing was young that Yan Lan left for a long time when he followed his father back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Moreover, this time he went to northern Xinjiang and had to experience the wind and frost of the northern border. Yan Qing really Some concerns.

Yan Qing raised his eyes and saw Jiang Weiren beside Yan Lan. His expression was very calm. He didn't look like he was going out, but as if he was coming to see her off.

"Brother Jiang," she looked up at Jiang Weiren and whispered, "you have to be careful too."

Jiang Weiren nodded to her very solemnly and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will also take good care of your brother."

Yan Lan Smiling and hitting his shoulder, "Jiang Tingchen, you have such a strong tone, you can't tell who of us will take care of whom!"

But Yan Qing said to Jiang Weiren, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang!"

"Okay, let's go." Yan Lan urged.

Jiang Weiren turned around and looked at Yan Qing, "Miss Yan, take care!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Lan had already galloped out with a whip, and Jiang Weiren could only follow. Yan Qing watched the two people's backs go away, until the back He completely disappeared on the official road, then turned around and got in the car to return.
