"If you like it, I will come to celebrate the New Year with you every year in the future, as long as you don't find it annoying." Wen Ruyan smiled with tears in her eyes. She may not have had any selfish motives when she helped Ling Ruoting, but now she is sincere.
Treat Ling Ruo as a sister.
"No, never." Ling Ruo held her hand and said solemnly, as if making a promise for the next life.
The two looked at each other and smiled. On New Year's Eve in the forty-third year of Kangxi's reign, Ling Ruo spent the first time without her family, but she was not lonely because Wen Ruyan and Mo Yu accompanied her.
After lunch that day, Mo Yu and Su Yun were responsible for rolling out the dough and stuffing. Ling Ruo and Wen Ruyan made a lot of dumplings together. When it was dinner time, they took them to the kitchen and cooked them. They were still hot when they came back.
of.
Mo Yu carefully poured a small dish of Zhenjiang mature vinegar and then took the bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Ling Ruo and the other two, "Girl and Wen Gege, how about the taste?"
"You have been busy all day, let's sit down and eat together." Ling Ruo said with a smile.
Mo Yu quickly shook her head, "The slaves should wait until the girls finish eating before eating." Su Yun also agreed, "If someone sees it, you should say that the slaves have no rules."
"I'm asking you to sit down and we'll talk a lot. Besides, who will come here during the Chinese New Year? The dumplings won't taste good when they get cold." Seeing Mo Yu and the two still lingering there, Ling Ruo pretended not to be able to do it.
Yue said: "If you do this again, I will be angry."
Wen Ruyan also advised: "Yes, if you insist on doing this, it will make you look unruly. Besides, eating dumplings requires more people to make it more lively. Just the two of us will be a little lonely. In a while, this house will be full of people."
Let’s set off fireworks, just in time to watch them while eating.”
When Mo Yu refused, they had no choice but to sit down. In fact, they had been hungry for a long time. They could not hold back when they smelled the fragrant dumplings, so they immediately immersed themselves in eating.
"Boom - boom!" A ball of colorful flames exploded in the night sky, turning into a beautiful and eye-catching flower, which immediately disappeared into the night, but soon more fireworks took off, blooming one after another, lighting up the night sky.
The decoration is like day, sometimes like golden chrysanthemums in full bloom, sometimes like peonies in full bloom, sometimes like rainbows dancing, dragons flying, making it an eye-catching sight.
But this is just the beginning. Following Sibeile Mansion, Wubeile Mansion, Eight Beile Mansion, Shibeizi Mansion, Thirteen Beile Mansion, etc. have begun to set off fireworks, lighting up every corner of the capital, no matter where they are, as long as they
Looking up, you can see the sky full of trees and flowers.
Mo Yu didn't know when he stopped eating. He raised his head and stared at the dazzling fireworks. After a long time, he murmured: "It's so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than the last time Ba Beile got married."
Suyun curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Is this the first time I've seen you? It's like this every year. It's not really the lively time now, but it's really beautiful when you wait for the child. First, fireworks are set off in the palace, and then every government has its own people.
The fireworks will be set off in the courtyard, and the whole sky above the capital will be filled with fireworks, which is really lively.”
"Really? My family lives in the suburbs of Beijing. Although there are fireworks there, they are far less lively than here." Mo Yu narrowed her eyes and clapped her hands excitedly: "Then I must wait until after midnight before going to bed.
"
"You can sleep whenever you like, as long as you don't get up tomorrow." Ling Ruo said with a smile, got up and walked hand in hand with Wen Ruyan to the courtyard. Although they were far apart, the courtyard was still filled with smoke.
the breath.
Wen Ruyan glanced around at the brilliant night sky and sighed: "It's so fast. One year has passed in the blink of an eye. It has been more than three years since Kangxi entered the palace in the 40th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi. People, it's so unknowingly...
Get old."
"Sister is in the prime of her youth, how can she say this?" A long wind blew, causing the pair of glass and silk earrings under her ears to sway. People wanted to be quiet, but the wind didn't stop.
"You can still be said to be young now, but in three years' time, people will grow old one day, even if their appearance is still delicate, their hearts will also grow old. My family sent me to my house in the hope that I can bring them glory and wealth.
, It's a pity that they made the wrong calculation." Wen Ruyan rolled up her sleeves and looked at the brilliant fireworks in the distance. When she talked about her family, she didn't miss them much, but showed a sense of irony.
Ling Ruo was dejected, and after a long time he stared at her jade-white side face and said softly: "Ye's publicity is superficial, but she is actually far inferior to her sister. It's just that my sister needs time to understand it carefully."
"But Mr. Belle doesn't have the time or thought." She looked back and smiled, her ice blue clothes fluttering like a butterfly in the night wind. She wanted to fly but couldn't. It seemed to be firmly bound by an invisible thread. There was a kind of
inexplicable sadness
Inside, "Master Beile's heart has been promised to a person for a long time. Since he has no intention, how can he have the heart to appreciate the beauty and goodness of other women in detail? At the moment, he can only see superficial things, such as family background,
Such as beauty."
Surprise appeared on Ling Ruo's eyebrows, "Who told sister these words?"
Wen Ruyan said with a smile: "Why do you need anyone to tell you? You can understand it if you think about it yourself. Don't look at Lord Beile doting on Ye now. In fact, she is nothing in Lord Beile's heart. She is just a spoiler, and there is no intention in it.
.”
"Ruo'er." This was the first time she called her name, and the gentleness flowed through her ears like still water, "I might not have had any selfish intentions when I served as your court doctor, but it doesn't matter now. Whether you believe it or not,
I only wish you well. Ruo'er, you are amazingly beautiful and will stay with you forever.
It's a pity, there should be a more exciting life." At this point, she sighed again, like falling flowers falling to the ground, and drifting water, "What's more... your beauty is destined that your life will be an extreme, either the ultimate glory or the ultimate.
Sadly, there will be too many people in this palace to tolerate you."
The night sky gradually returned to tranquility after being extremely brilliant. Occasionally, sporadic fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed, leaving behind a beautiful and momentary eternity.
"I understand." After a long silence, Ling Ruo broke the silence. At this moment, there was no hesitation in her eyes, and she said word by word: "I said that I will spend every New Year's Eve with my sister.
Ling Ruo will never break his promise."
"That's good." Wen Ruyan finally felt relieved. Those words were Ling Ruo's best guarantee to her, "It's very late, I should go back, and you should rest early."
"Yes, I understand." After watching Wen Ruyan leave, Ling Ruo turned back to the house. Mo Yu, who had a mouthful of soup, smiled sheepishly when he saw her coming in, wiped his hands and stood up, saying, "Slave, please do it right now."
Collect the things and then help the girl sleep."
"No rush, I want to sit there for a while." Ling Ruo wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief pityingly, "If you are tired, go down and rest first, and leave your things to be packed tomorrow."
"I'm not tired, slave." Mo Yu shook her head like a rattle and quickly put away the dishes. However, she was troubled when she saw the plate of dumplings left on the table. She didn't know how to deal with it. After thinking for a long time, she decided
Save it and wait to heat it up before eating it tomorrow to avoid wasting it.
Mo Yu was eager to watch the fireworks show at midnight, but Ling Ruo was not sleepy at all, so she simply waited with her. She also wanted to see the fireworks show all over the capital.
