Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the last barrel of wine in the wine storage was also put into the tank.

Xia Yue left Shi Yan at home and went to Tibet to help.Yesterday, he didn't do any work because of Yan's visit, Xia Yue felt a little sorry.

After the wine was squeezed and separated, Xia Yue and Du Shi directly used long spoons to taste the drink. The aroma of the wine was very lively, the taste was also very lively, the sourness was just right, and it was very refreshing.

All the wines were brewed smoothly, and the taste was quite good. Master Du finally let go of the stone in his heart, his brows relaxed, and he smiled comfortably.

Xia Yue helped bottle and seal the wine, and then sent the wine into the warehouse with the Tibetans. By the way, he checked the storage of other wines in the warehouse and counted the number.

After leaving the warehouse, Master Du stopped him and didn't let him follow to clean things.

"Few Tibetan masters, more thanks to the God of Dionysus. Now all the wines in our Tibetan wine tanks are safe. This year, 27 barrels of wine have been brewed in Tibet, a total of nine new wines. Including yesterday and today, there are six more wines. New wine needs fire. In addition to the long-term brewed Rushui, Tingying, and Yuehua, we have tried several new wines, which are the five that we tried yesterday. The names have not yet been chosen. The old Tibetan is in charge, and this year, it will be handed over to the young Tibetan.”

Master Yun went to Zangli early in the morning and announced that Xia Yue had officially taken over the wine storage. The Tibetans were very happy.In the past, there was only one owner of the wine store, and everyone called it the master, but now there is a young master, so he changed his name to the master of the cloud.

After hearing this, Xia Yue quickly responded.Naming is an important matter. Although it may not be elegant, it must match the wine. It is the best if the name is nice, easy to remember, and can leave an impression on people.

So at noon, Xia Yue kept this matter in his mind. When Shi Yan asked, he asked Shi Yan to accompany him to think about it.

"The five bottles of wine that I tasted yesterday were newly brewed by Mr. Du this year, not the traditional ones in our wine storage. Now we need to choose a name, can you help me think about it?"

Shiyan didn't refuse to say something she didn't understand, and her husband asked him to help, so he sat down and thought about it.

"Rushui, Tingying, and Yuehua are all beautiful and elegant names."

Xia Yue put a row of wine glasses on the table, poured the five kinds of wines A, B, C, D, E respectively, and said with a smile: "Yuehua is the one that was selected as the tribute wine before."

Shi Yan looked at him: "Ah, so it's Yuehua? I drank it when Xi Jiuzui was trying out the menu. The aroma and taste are so elegant."

Nodding his head, Xia Yue pointed to the wine on the table and said: "Let's think about it before dinner, just take it as a drink with me, and don't rush to make a decision today. Eat early in the evening, I still want to bring You went out for a walk."

Knowing that he was talking about the Lantern Festival tonight, Shi Yan wanted to take her out for a stroll, and was very happy. Shi Yan had never seen what the Lantern Festival in Yincheng was like.

The two pondered together for more than an hour, and only settled on two names.Looking at the time, Xia Yue resolutely put aside the matter of naming, and took a nap with Shiyan in his arms.

After getting up in the evening, after dinner, Xia Yue picked out clothes for Shi Yan, and poked his head to look at the sky.It rained last night and this morning, and the sky is still cloudy now, Xia Yue asked the boy to bring an umbrella, and ordered him to run to the stables to inform Uncle Liu to prepare his coir raincoat and carriage, in case of rain If it gets too big, it may have to be picked up by a carriage.

After getting ready, Xia Yue took Shi Yan out of the gate just as it was getting dark.

Along the courtyard wall on both sides of the gate, there are small lamps placed three steps apart, as well as beside the gate pier and on both sides of the steps.Xia Yue and Shi Yan each held a long incense stick, and lit the small lamps beside the door pier and on the steps on the left and right.The entrance of the Yun family's mansion suddenly lit up. The lampshade was apricot yellow, and when it was lit, it was bright and warm yellow, which was really beautiful.

After the lamps on the door pier and steps were lit, Xia Yue and Shi Yan handed over the long incense sticks to the servants waiting behind, and it was their job to light the lamps along the long courtyard wall.

This is the custom of Luoyue Lantern Festival.Just like there are no dumplings during Chinese New Year, glutinous rice balls are not popular here on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Lantern Festival is completely a festival of lights.When it gets dark, every household has to put lamps outside the house to light up, which is called lighting flowers.When the lanterns are lit up, the whole city of Yin is lit up. Looking down from the mountain, the lanterns of the whole city are flickering and flickering, against the bright moon and stars in the sky, it is really a beautiful scenery in the world.Sometimes, the lanterns on this earth are brighter than the stars in the sky.

The sky was gloomy today, and although they were also worried that they might not be able to see the moon, Xia Yue and Shi Yan were still very interested.They held the lanterns that Shiyan had made a few days earlier, said goodbye to Daddy Yun who sent them out, and walked to the market with the servants.

Both of Shi Yan's lamps were made of rabbits. When Xia Yue first saw them, he looked at Shi Yan and smiled teasingly.Shiyan knew that her husband always said that she was a rabbit, but now that what she made was a rabbit lamp, she felt very happy.It's just that this rabbit lamp really wasn't made because Xia Yue said he was a rabbit.

After listening to Shiyan, Xia Yue knew that although the peasant households in the western suburbs of the city were not of the same family and had different surnames, they gradually took the shape of a village as a whole.Although it is not registered with the government, and there is no such thing as the village chief Lizheng, but people in the west of the city usually call it Yincheng Village.Farmers rarely go to the city during the Lantern Festival, and they celebrate this festival by themselves.Swim Bunny Lights in a festive way.

Rabbit lamps are installed in every house, and each person has one.As soon as it got dark on the fifteenth day, each family opened the door, lit the lamps at the door, and waited with the lit rabbit lamps.The people on the farthest east go out first, pass by a family, and the other family will follow. In this way, each family joins the team, and finally merges into a long dragon, walks up the field ridge, and parades all the fields.Luo Yue regarded the rabbit as an auspicious thing and a messenger of the gods, so few people ate rabbit meat.Rabbit lanterns are used to greet the gods and receive blessings. When swimming in the rabbit lanterns, when everyone patrols their fields, they will silently pray to the gods to bless the gods with good wind and rain this year, a bumper harvest and a safe home.

After hearing this, Xia Yue liked this custom very much. Now he is walking in the city with a rabbit lamp, seeing that there is no one around like him, he is still very proud.

"Shiyan, let's go to Bai's house for the Lantern Festival next year."

Hearing Xia Yue's words, Shi Yan stared at him with wide eyes.In Shiyan's view, what's so interesting about celebrating festivals in the farmhouse? The city is so lively, and there are all kinds of lanterns. The farmhouse only has one kind of lantern, and the festival is just walking on the ridge with the lantern.Although this is of great significance to the farm family, it can't be said to be boring, but Xia Yue is a city resident, doesn't he find it monotonous, why would he still say that he is going to live there?

"Why, is it strange?" Xia Yue smiled and glanced at Shi Yan while walking, "I really want to go, and praying for good weather is also very important to me. Only when the wine and rice are planted smoothly can we brew good wine. Wine, and..."

Xia Yue leaned against Shiyan, looked at Lu, but tilted his head and whispered in his ear: "My husband has experienced it, and I am interested in going through it once."

Then, without checking whether Shiyan's ears were red or not, he straightened his body back, picked up the rabbit lamp and put it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "The rabbit lamp made by Shiyan is so beautiful, I want to take it to meet the gods." Go to the Bai family field."

Shi Yan looked at Xia Yue's face reflecting the light, and was a little crazy for a while.Every word Xia Yue said was very warm and sweet, he couldn't help a smile from the corner of his mouth, nodded and said: "Well, next year I will take my husband to visit the Rabbit Lantern."

Xia Yue was stunned by this smile, he couldn't help pulling someone to stop by the side of the road, staring at Shi Yan's face fiercely, even the young servant who followed behind looked at his young wife and looked stupid .

Shiyan didn't know, so just about to ask a question, he heard the boy's surprised voice.

"Young Madam, you...you laughed..."

The boy felt it was incredible, swallowed, licked his lips, and then added firmly.

"You laughed!"

After saying this, the boy himself grinned and showed a big smile.The young lady laughed!He dared to say that he was the first to see it among the people who worked in Yun's family. This alone was enough for him to be proud, and he almost danced on the spot.What's more, the young lady is really pretty when she smiles. She just smiled for a moment, and her whole person seems to be different. This is the first time that the boy thinks that his young lady is a beauty.

It would be great if the young lady always laughed...

Xia Yue was really pleasantly surprised. Shi Yan's smile was no longer something that only he could see. People suddenly became more lively.As he had guessed on the wedding night, Shi Yan really looked good when she smiled, and Xia Yue was so happy that she wanted to scream in the street.

Shi Yan was taken aback, and he felt the corner of his mouth move back.

He touched the corner of his lips in surprise, did he really smile?Isn't it only to the extent that the husband can detect it, even the servant can see it?Isn't it that the face is so stiff that the doctor can't cure it? Why can I suddenly laugh?

Shiyan suddenly panicked, looking at her husband's smiling face, he didn't know what to do.

"Smile again, Shiyan," Xia Yue gently encouraged him, "Smile again, you laughed just now. Look, what your husband said is right? You can laugh, come on, show me another smile .”

Seeing Xia Yue's look happier than herself, Shi Yan was very moved.He tried to raise the corners of his mouth, and was surprised to find that he succeeded easily this time. He could feel the movements of the five sense organs, not only the mouth, but also the face, as well as the eyes. They were all moving!

This is what Shiyan felt again after many years, the so-called process of showing his expression.

Shi Yan touched the corner of her lips, all kinds of emotions mixed with grievances used her heart, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

"Don't cry, Shiyan, don't cry," Xia Yue kept staring at him, how could this change escape his eyes, "I know you are happy, it's a happy thing, today is another festival, and this is another time on the street. , don’t cry, what if people think I’m bullying you? How could I bully you? Just smile, okay, if you let your tears fall, I’ll kiss it back. "

Xia Yue's rascally words successfully made Shi Yan laugh back tears.

Shi Yan couldn't stop laughing.It feels really good to be able to laugh, as if he wants to laugh all the time he hasn't laughed for many years, he keeps smiling all the time.

Next, the three of them were all happy.

Xia Yue led Shi Yan to the river, asked the boy to buy a lamp, and then found a place where there were not many people. Let the boy carry the rabbit lamp first, and he and Shi Yan squatted down to release the river lantern.

After praying for blessings and making a wish, watching the river lantern slowly drifting away along the river, Xia Yue was also inexplicably moved when he saw the moving smile on Shiyan's face beside him.

The boy was holding the rabbit lantern and was looking at the river lantern, but when he raised his eyes, he was so frightened that he quickly turned his back.

Shiyan didn't worry about being outside or being seen by others this time, he forgot to be shy, and was just full of happiness.He let himself be embraced by his husband, closed his eyes and accepted his kiss, a tear slipped down from the corner of his eye.

Beside the two huddled figures, river lanterns flashed softly and flowed quietly.
