[Red House] Li Changan

Above the stairs, the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the two-story attic, looking up, are much brighter than usual, and even the patterns on the lights are more delicate than before.

A few lanterns were reflected on the ground, casting a few shadows, making the bustle of the street a bit of the tranquility of the busy city.

The two figures on the stairs inside the wall walked one after the other, and they could hear the sound of panting from far to near after climbing the stairs. Accompanied by the sound, the two figures walked around the corner, resting with their hands on the wall, planning to finish the last section in one go steps.

Daiyu raised her eyes and looked around, but she couldn't see anything except this attic, she could only hear the voices from the street.

Li Changan followed Daiyu, with a doting smile on his face, walked to her side, and stretched out his hand to support Daiyu, for fear that she might not stand still.

"Where is this place? Why don't I remember such a place?" Daiyu asked curiously, "I lived in Yangzhou for a few years before, but I have no memory of it."

"It will be there in a while, and I will tell you when I get to the top."

Cursing her lips, Daiyu turned her head to look at Li Changan, and couldn't help but said, "You're being tricky again, count carefully, you owe me a lot."

She had been playing tricks since just now, but now she is still hiding it, making Daiyu scratch her liver and lungs, wishing she could climb to the top in one breath.

Staring at the more than ten steps in front of her, Daiyu patted her chest, there were so many, she couldn't climb anymore.

"I'll carry you up." Seeing Daiyu's thoughts, Li Changan stepped forward and was about to squat down when Daiyu pulled him up.

Letting go of Li Changan's hand, Daiyu turned her head to look at the steps, as if she saw the faces of those in the Jia family, her eyes sparkled, "No."

I think she is weak, I think she is helpless, I think she...

When her mother died young, the Jia family treated her sincerely, but after her father passed away, the Jia family treated her as a burden.

Daiyu refused without even thinking about it, patted Li Changan's hand away, took a deep breath, and walked up the wall while supporting her.

She didn't want to be Li Changan's burden. In this world, there were things that she had to do by herself.

Looking at Daiyu's back in surprise, Li Changan couldn't help laughing, suddenly felt that Daiyu was cutely stubborn in some small things.

Slowly follow behind Daiyu, ready to step forward to support her at any time, so as not to accidentally fall backwards when she loses strength, if she falls down here, the injury to the muscles and bones is small, and the loss outweighs the gain if she falls somewhere.

Thinking about it, Li Changan suddenly regretted letting Daiyu come here.

"Look, I came up faster than you." Daiyu stood on the last step, turned to look at Li Changan, tilted her head and smiled: "This time, I will win you?"

"Yes, the lady is amazing."

Hearing this, Daiyu chuckled, and stretched out her hand towards Li Changan, before she could say anything, Li Changan held her hand tightly.

In fact, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was already a bit cold, but after walking this distance with Li Changan, her hands and feet were warm, which surprised Daiyu herself.

She has long been used to cold hands and feet, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is rare for her hands and feet to be so warm.

"This is Wenchang Pavilion."

"kindness?"

She knew this place, but she didn't expect to come up here. It seems that Li Chang'an must have been running around the city a lot when he was a child.

Just as he was thinking, he was dragged by Li Changan to the wall.

"It's very close to the Yamen of Xunyan Yushi."

Touring the salt censor's yamen...

Daiyu unconsciously repeated these words, feeling unfamiliar yet familiar, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Yamen—almost ten years, so it turned out that so many years had passed.

"When I was young, I went to the yamen, and my father took me there. It was when my mother had just left. I made a fuss and didn't want to stay at home. Wang Momo couldn't coax me well, so my father could only take me by his side. "

Daiyu lowered her eyes: "Later, it was not an option to always go to the yamen. It happened that my grandmother heard the news and sent someone to pick me up to the capital. My father thought, my grandmother loves my mother, so I agreed."

This trip lasted for several years, and when she returned to Yangzhou, it was already Jia Lian who accompanied her to take care of Lin Ruhai's funeral.

When she left Yangzhou at that time, Daiyu never thought that she would come back one day, so she thought that from now on, apart from her surname Lin, she would have nothing to do with the Lin family.

When she died, her name might not even be on the Lin family's genealogy.

In this world, it's really like this. Family affection is worthless in front of power.

Li Changan let go of Daiyu's hand, walked behind Daiyu, stopped her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you ask me what I brought you here for, you'll know right away."

Hearing that Daiyu was startled, she couldn't help smiling, and closed her eyes cooperatively.

"what are you going to do?"

"Of course it's to make you happy." Li Changan carefully took Daiyu to the wall, looked down, and couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "Watching the lantern festival is for fun, but to see the lights, you have to watch it here."

Heart tickled by Li Changan's words, Daiyu raised her hand to hold Li Changan's hand, opened her mouth slightly to ask something, when she heard Li Changan's voice in her ear.

"Open your eyes."

Daiyu slowly opened her eyes, subconsciously took a step forward, her vision suddenly opened up, and even the excitement was closer than before.

The Ten Mile Long Street was full of fiery trees and silver flowers. The street was bustling with men and women walking together in groups of three or five. As far as the eye could see, the lights were dim, and the whole city of Yangzhou was shrouded in lights.

Walking to Daiyu's side, Li Chang'an stared at the sea of ​​lights, and said slowly: "Every year at the lantern festival, I will accompany you."

"...Sister-in-law?"

"Here, and this." Li Changan turned and squatted on the ground: "You can make a wish when you release the sky lantern, and God will definitely see it."

With a sore nose, Daiyu stared at Li Changan's back, tears streaming down her face.

It is clear that Li Changan has heard what Li Changan said, but why, she is so disappointing, and she cried on the happy reunion day.

A light shone on the dark city wall, and Li Changan turned around to look at Daiyu with the light in his hand, but seeing Daiyu staring at him with teary eyes, he felt dazed.

"Don't cry, I'm most afraid of you crying, I—"

"fool."

Daiyu held Li Changan's hand at once, and the two looked at each other through the lamp. Daiyu sniffed and lowered her eyes to stare at the already lit lamp.

Let the lanterns make a wish, will God hear it?

"If you don't like it—" Before Li Changan finished speaking, he saw Daiyu close her eyes and stopped immediately.

Under the light, Daiyu's eyebrows were more gentle than usual, lingering with a layer of heart-pounding vividness, Li Changan couldn't help smiling - the person he likes must be the best in the world.

"I would like to love those who love me, for the rest of my life——Chang'an."

I live in Chang'an, and my life is safe.

The night sky in Yangzhou lit up the lights, and the streets were still bustling, but Daiyu and Li Changan had already gone through the bustle and returned directly to Li's residence.

"Sir, you haven't told me—" Daiyu patted Li Changan on the shoulder, looked up and saw Zhao Qing standing outside Fengshui Pavilion, and swallowed back the words.

Zhao Qing must be waiting here for something.

Li Changan looked at Zhao Qing, frowned, and carefully put Daiyu down from his back: "Are Zijuan and Xueyan back?"

"En." Zhao Qing nodded, glanced at Daiyu and said, "Jin Shui Town sent back a message that Master Huai Chen was taken away by that robber, and his whereabouts are unknown."

What!Something happened to Li Huaichen!

Daiyu immediately looked at Li Changan, and seeing Li Changan's expression changed suddenly, her heart ached.

Li Changan looked at Daiyu and was about to speak when Daiyu smiled at him.

"You must be careful, I will wait for you at home."

Li Chang'an nodded and glanced at Zhao Qing: "Prepare the horse and go to Jinshui Town overnight."

Seeing Li Changan leaving and walking to Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan who were staying in the yard couldn't help but feel worried—Li Changan left Yangzhou for Jinshui Town after only half a month of marriage, what if something happened?

Looking at the stone path where Li Changan was no longer seen, Daiyu clenched her hands tightly and then loosened them, before turning around and walking inside after a while.

"girl?"

"He'll be back."
