Folding the halberd to seal the cold

The world is like a white horse, and human feelings are like clouds.

AD [-], the first month of the second year of Baoying.Following the last remnant of the Spike, Shi Chaoyi hanged himself in a desperate situation and his head was cut off and sent to Chang'an. Li Yu, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was finally able to sacrifice to the ancestral temple, proclaiming to the world: the rebels have been quelled!

Luoyang was completely restored, and the Anshi Rebellion finally came to an end.

The flames of war have been burning for eight full years. The war caused by the rebel An Lushan caused a lot of misery and devastation to the world during this period, and the word "tragic" is enough to describe it.Li Tang changed two monarchs, and how many soldiers' blood, tears and dead bones were buried under the territory of the Tang Dynasty... How many people were displaced and lost their loved ones... How many people did not see the end of the war in their lifetime, so they could only take their lives with them. Regret buried.

What a long and painful time it has been.

During these eight years, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, mountains and rivers were shattered; the dynasty fell into dust, and the people suffered.The so-called prosperity can only be overturned so quickly.

Standing in the wind and frost and suddenly looking back, Fang feels like a big dream.

Another new year has just passed, and the warm lights on the streets complement each other.Gu Qingxi was sitting in a small restaurant facing the street while sipping wine, while looking down leisurely, the lanterns in the river drifted far away on the calm water, reflecting the wrinkled lights in the moat at night. shadow.

Suddenly he remembered that when he first entered Chang'an that year, Zhuque Street was full of prosperity as far as he could see.Tall buildings stand tall, people's voices are buzzing, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is still lingering in my ears.

Gu Qingxi was just a young man who was just getting involved in the world at that time, so he couldn't help admiring the grand scene of the capital.Chunyang Palace is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, he was lucky enough to follow his master and come to Chang'an to listen to people discussing the Tao, and he was dizzying along the way.

Later, he traveled to many places and met many people, but he still never forgot the prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an City. He always thought that one day he would go back with his seniors and friends to have a look.

Unexpectedly, when he came again, it would already be the city of Chang'an, which was raging with war and full of desolation.

The world is changing so much that fate is unpredictable.Human beings are born in the world, but they are as insignificant as a mayfly in the universe.

Who would have expected that the next time they go there, what they will face is the tragic guardianship, and there is nothing they can do to see it fall and fall.

Fortunately, all this is finally over.

Now... Although Chang'an City has returned to its familiar bustle and bustle, I can no longer be the indulgent and unrestrained knight-errant in the prosperous age of the past.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingxi's handsome brows and eyes were rarely stained with loneliness, he raised his glass again and drank it down, with a soft sigh on his lips.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

The past days can never be regained.

"What are you thinking about? So engrossed?" Gu Qingxi was pouring himself a drink, when suddenly the light and shadow in front of his eyes dimmed, and a familiar voice leaned over to his ear and asked softly with deep concern.

The sadness between Gu Qingxi's eyebrows disappeared without a trace in an instant, he turned his head and showed a warm smile: "It's nothing. Ah Yan, are you back?"

Only then did the worry in Qin Yan's eyes dissipate, and she followed Gu Qingxi with a bright smile, shaking the candied haws in her hand like a show off: "Look, I've caught up with the old man who sells candied haws! "

"Father! You are so biased! Ning'er came back with A-Niang, but you only saw A-Niang!"

Before Gu Qingxi could react, a little boy in a blue cotton robe put his arms around his neck while he was not prepared.Because of his short stature, his feet dangled on Gu Qingxi's side without touching the ground, and he held the candied haws tightly in his hand while protesting.Although...the posture is difficult, but the posture that must not let go of both sides is quite funny.

Gu Qingxi helplessly supported his waist, lest he hang too hard: "Ning'er...you are really getting heavier. You have already gained a lot of weight this New Year, and you were still hanging around just now. Your mother bought candied haws? And... bought so much? Do you two want to have dinner later?"

"No way! It was my mother who saw candied haws on the street first, so she pulled me and pretended to buy them for me! In fact, she wants to eat them herself!"

The noodle dumpling rubbed against his neck, unconvinced.

Just as Gu Qingxi wanted to educate him like his father, when he turned around, he saw Qin Yan with bulging cheeks.

"..."

Why did he feel that since Ning'er was born, he and Ah Yan seemed to have switched personalities, completely reversed?

Qin Yan obediently put down the candied haws before his eyes stared himself out of the hole, and sat down at the table solemnly: "...I can't hold back. I kept you waiting for a long time, since we are back, hurry up Let's order food."

"Ning'er, get off your father soon and prepare to eat."

"It seems... I can't get down..." The little girl turned her head to Qin Yan with a mournful face, and then buried her head into Gu Qingxi's neck to make a grimace.

"Why can't you come down?" Gu Qingxi, who was still hanging by his neck, only thought that he was acting like a baby, and was still coaxing patiently.

On the other side, Qin Yan pointed at the back of his head with a suppressed smile on his face, and said helplessly: "It seems...it really can't come down, the candied haws... stuck to a strand of your hair..."

Gu Qingxi's forehead finally couldn't help jumping up blue veins: "Gu, Si, Ning!"

"Aunt, save me!!!"

After dinner with one big and one small, the long street was covered by moonlight.

This little guy, Si Ning, probably played too crazily while visiting the Lantern Market and setting off fireworks tonight, and now he has already breathed evenly and lay on Gu Qingxi's shoulder, falling asleep peacefully.

Gu Qingxi carefully supported his waist, trying to make him sleep more comfortably, while walking side by side with Qin Yan.

"This year's Lantern Festival is finally going to be a bit festive." Qin Yan looked up at the colorful lanterns hanging in the market, and with a gentle smile on his lips, he sighed sincerely.

"Because we want to celebrate the first New Year after the suppression of the rebellion, so the whole Chang'an city is lit up all night, it looks warmer and more peaceful." Gu Qingxi looked up with her gaze, and suddenly seemed to think of it again Like something interesting, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "I don't know where Shen Luzhi and Tang Li are hiding for this festival at the moment... Originally, I wanted to eat and drink at Weishan Academy for a while after attending their wedding banquet I didn't expect Miss Tang Li to elope with Shen Luzhi on the day they got married... Tsk, Miss Tang's temperament is straightforward. Shen's family is full of scholars, and everything is good, the only downside is that they are too rigid and old-fashioned. It is indeed difficult to live a chic and free life in the future, and elopement is indeed a good choice."

"Pfft..." Qin Yan laughed out loud at his words, she nodded in agreement, but still wanted to correct him: "What elopement... They are married, have worshiped, and have parents' orders, matchmaker appointments, As evidenced by heaven and earth, there is no way to talk about elopement. But...Miss Tang's temperament is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary girls, and I admire her very much. The rare thing is...Lu Zhi will go with her, which is subversive I was really surprised by what I had always known about him.”

"Sure enough, time is passing, people are different. It's a pity... I didn't make fun of him, and I didn't know where they went, so I let them escape like this... What a mistake."

Gu Qingxi still looked regretful.

Qin Yan lowered her eyelashes and secretly smiled, but she felt that Shen Luzhi and Tang Li had been in the plan early in the morning without letting him know.

However, she had already made an agreement with Miss Tang Li, and made a baby kiss for Ning'er, and she was not afraid that they would not be able to find them in the future.

"What's the matter, is the wind blowing a little cold?"

Seeing that Qin Yan lowered her head and said nothing for a long time, Gu Qingxi thought she was afraid of the cold, so she worriedly freed up a hand to help her tighten the cloak, and smiled softly.

Qin Yan shook his head indifferently, held Gu Qingxi's hand tightly, raised his head and smiled, his eyes were filled with him and the street lights behind him.

The moon is full tonight, even if the spring is cold, the warmth from the hands of the two can warm each other.

Gu Qingxi was heartbroken for a while, couldn't help but lowered her head, and slowly approached Qin Yan with her thin lips.

"Daddy... Mommy, are we still home?"

At this moment, a certain ugly little person woke up at some point, rubbing his eye sockets with a dazed expression, sandwiched between the heads of the two who were approaching.

"Hey, we'll be there soon. Ning'er...why are you awake? If you're sleepy, go to bed first. Tomorrow we have to leave early to go to Hangzhou." Qin Yan quickly dodged away, her face returning to normal.

"But Ning'er isn't sleepy now... What were parents whispering just now? I want to hear it too!"

"Not sleepy? That's because you didn't close your eyes." Gu Qingxi twitched the corners of his mouth, a sly look flashed in his eyes, he pushed the troublesome little man on his shoulder into his arms, and then whispered domineeringly Said: "Just close your eyes and fall asleep in a while."

After finishing speaking, he moved closer to Qin Yan and continued with the unfinished kiss.

"Wow! Daddy, why are you covering my eyes, Ning'er is not sleepy at all! Daddy is so annoying——"

The immature children's voice echoed on the corner of the street, and under the moonlight, there were three figures hugging each other, probably this is——

The most beautiful fireworks world.
