The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

Mid-autumn night, on the west seashore, where the sea and the sky meet, a full moon rises, the light is as clear as snow, and the blue sea is like a mirror, and the coral is like fire.Because Ao Lie was in a hurry to go to Miaoyan Palace, the reunion banquet in Xihai Dragon Palace ended early, and Cun Xin invited her third brother to go out to sea. Now Guangli Bodhisattva has left on a cloud, but she is barefoot, carrying a pair of silk shoes, Stepping on the snow-white sand.

The sand buried Cun Xin's bare feet, and the fine grains of sand still warmed into the middle of the toes with the residual warmth of the setting sun.She raised her head and looked at the dark purple sky like glass - she didn't know where that person was at the moment and who he was with, such a night was not suitable for being alone.

Cun Xin remembers that that year she and Yang Jian tried their best to mend their relationship, so they left Xiao Tiangou behind and traveled the Three Realms with their arms.One night, the two of them took a boat together, drank a bottle of wine, and sat on the bow of the boat, watching the waves swaying away with the shadow of the moon, and the tide slowly swaying in with the stars.At that time, Cun Xin didn't know that there was always a moon by the lake, but the people in the boat were not always there, so nights like that were never to be had again.

That night, Yang Jian leaned out, picked a green lotus from the side of the boat, and said with a smile: "The fragrance of lotus is like the sea after the wind blows..." What's the next sentence?Cun Xin can't remember.She kicked in the air annoyed, the white sand on the bottom of her feet rose high, fell, and was engulfed by the turbid waves with white foam and retreated to the depths of the sea.

"The next sentence is 'Yueying Liushang, drunk and greedy'." A voice behind said.Cun Xin's breathing was stagnant, and when he looked back, Yang Jian was standing not far away, dressed in a pear-blossom white plain brocade robe, which made him look more elegant and elegant.Seeing that Cun Xin was in a daze, Yang Jian smiled, shook his ink fan and said, "You are still the same, you just said it after thinking about it."

Cun Xin wanted to go forward, but suddenly remembered that day on the Wangxiang Terrace, Yang Jian was shocked and had a painful look on his face, his heart sank, his outstretched foot was retracted, he only bit his lower lip and remained silent.She lowered her head, only to see a pair of blue satin and gold soap boots slowly walking over, and said softly, "I'll take you to meet someone."

Cun Xin raised her head and met Yang Jian's eyes, the clearest waves in the world flowed in those eyes that she never got tired of looking at for 1000 years. "Where are you going? Who are you meeting?" Cun Xin asked, her delicate voice drifting in the sea breeze.Yang Jian didn't answer, just took Cun Xin's hand with a smile, and drove away in the sky.

In autumn, Huashan Mountain is full of red leaves, and a bend of clear water surrounds Yang Chan’s small courtyard. White grasses, yellow flowers, and old trees with light smoke are all covered with a layer of silver tulle by the moonlight.Cun Xin had never been here before, but she heard a young man's clear voice asking through the door: "Mother, when will uncle come?"

Cun Xin froze for a moment, pulled her hand from Yang Jian's palm, looked at him at a loss, wanted to say something, but couldn't find the right words.Yang Jian sighed, raised his hand and put his flying hair behind Cun Xin's ear, and said softly, "Do you believe me?"

Cun Xin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.Yang Jian smiled, with indescribable pity in his expression, but also seemed to have infinite relief, he took Cun Xin's hand with one hand, firmly clamped it under his arm, and gently knocked on the door with the other hand.

Yang Chan opened the door, saw Yang Jian standing outside the door with Cun Xin, said joyfully, "Second Brother, Second...Third Sister, I thought you were not coming." She grabbed Cun Xin and entered. Yard introduced her to her one by one, and said: "Today is our own family, so feel free, there is no need to be formal."

Chen Xiang laughed and said, "If Mother hadn't told me in advance, I really thought it was..." He felt his clothes being pulled by Xiao Yu beside him, and he looked back, seeing Xiao Yu's sudden wink, Chen Xiang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said "Third Aunt, my mother and Xiaoyu have prepared a lot of snacks. It's your first time here, so you should try it out."

Cun Xin didn't have time to answer, so Yang Chan supported his shoulders and pressed him next to Yang Jian's seat. He called everyone to sit down, poured a glass of wine and offered it to Cun Xin and said, "This is our local famous Jiu Yunchun. I wanted to invite the second brother He brought some Qianqiu drunk from the temple, but he said, this is a family banquet, if you want to drink, you can drink the wine from Huashan, I asked Yanchang to call some back, I don't know if it suits you." Cun Xin saw Yang Chan like this. Qin Qin could only smile and said: "I am not good at wine, but I like to try something new. Since it is a famous wine here, it must be good."

Yang Chan raised her glass and said to everyone, "This is a toast to the three princesses!" She was very similar to Yang Jiansheng, with only a pair of bright and charming almond eyes, the corners of which were slightly curved, as if there was always a gentle smile. "I have never been away from my second brother since I was a child. The second brother went to hunt merchants. Thanks to the third princess who took care of me, our 14 years were considered as sharing weal and woe. Later I heard Nezha say that we all hated the second brother back then, but There are three princesses who believe in him and have always been the same, and my second brother and I have been siblings for 2000, and we can't help ourselves." She turned to Cun Xin and said, "We are all people who have been through the sea for a long time. Forget the original intention." After saying that, Yang Chan raised her head, drank the whole glass of water and wine, looked at Cun Xin with a smile.

Cun Xin's heart felt hot, and she raised her glass generously to accompany her.The red lacquer ear cup is painted with black cloud patterns, and the three seal characters "Jun Xing Wine" at the bottom of the bowl look very beautiful against the green liquor.After drinking a glass of wine, Cun Xin's face turned red, but her heart gradually calmed down - Yang Chan must have been told by her second brother in advance to be like this.Although the three holy mothers are gentle and pleasant, their minds are as delicate and clear as their elder brother's. After a few words, even Cun Xin thinks that he and her were the best handkerchiefs back then.

Yang Chan didn't seem to notice it, she leaned over and moved a plate of dim sum to Cun Xin and said, "Third Sister, try this, it's called 'Li Yu Ji', it's made with sliced ​​fish, marinated with rice wine, it's sweet The most delicious." Cun Xin put a chopstick into her mouth as she said, and said with a smile: "It's really good, your craftsmanship is still so good."

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Yanchang became poetic. He got up and took a few steps, singing in a manly voice: "The steep and misty peaks are full of peach blossoms. Only the old stream is left, remembering your shadow at that time." He snickered and said, "Father is reading this for mother." Yang Chan blushed and said angrily, "Old husband and wife, always mentioning what you did back then?" Never tire of being here, you and I have gone through hardships to be able to have a feast here, this is also a special number."

Cun Xin was taken aback, although Liu Yanchang spoke sincerely, he forgot that Yang Jian also had a part in this "tribulation".She peeked at Yang Jian beside her, and saw him taking a sip of wine with a smile, but his face was calm and breezy, as if he had noticed Cun Xin's gaze, a hand quietly stretched out from under the table, and held her of.

Yang Chan was also a little uncomfortable, and was about to change the subject, but Xiaoyu Yingying stood up, spread a chopstick of goose meat for Cun Xin, and said: "Third Aunt, I made this goose meat imitating the royal meal, and stuffed the baby goose with five flavors. Put the minced meat into the belly of the lamb, sew it up and roast it on the fire, and then peel off the lamb and use only the goose meat, so that the goose meat will have the deliciousness of the lamb without the smell, and it is the most delicious." Seeing Yang Jian's eyes To herself, Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I have put away the mutton, and I will eat it slowly tomorrow, and I will definitely not waste everything." Seeing how well-behaved she is, Yang Jian smiled self-consciously.

Cun Xin looked at the girl in pink on the opposite side, and knew that this was the baby that Yang Jian brought back back then. Her pink make-up and jade decoration made her very cute when she was young, but she only got half a day of tenderness from her.As Cun Xin thought about it, she couldn't help feeling sad, but she couldn't show it on her face, she just forced a smile, listening to everyone's gossip.

When the wine was exhausted, Xiaoyu got up and went to the kitchen to warm the wine. Cun Xin said "It's convenient", and slipped out, looking all the way to the east kitchen.Seeing her coming, Xiaoyu was surprised, and hurriedly went forward and said, "Third Aunt, just sit still, I can handle it." But Cun Xin refused to leave, took off a jade pendant from her waist and put it on Xiaoyu's. In his hand, he said in a gentle voice: "When you and Chen Xiang got married, I was still in trouble, and I didn't have time to congratulate you on your wedding. This jade pendant is given to you as a token of my heart."

Xiaoyu stared at the jade pendant, slowly opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Third Aunt, I also have this jade pendant, but the quality is different!" , put them together, and said happily: "My grandma said that when she found me that year, she had this suet jade pendant in her infancy. She knew it wasn't my mother's, and thought it was left by my father, so she named me Xiaoyu. I saw this piece today, and then I realized that my piece is with your jade pendant."

Cun Xin stroked the two jade pendants with trembling fingers, and said tearfully: "I have a twin brother. When the grass fell, the father gave each of us a jade pendant. Your white jade is mine, and this jasper is mine. Third brother’s. When I married Guankou, he gave me his jade pendant as a dowry.”

Cun Xin closed her eyes, and the despair of that day swept up again, almost overwhelmed her: "I am sorry for you, I was jealous of the madman back then, and my heart was broken, thinking that you were born by Yang Jian with another woman." I brought you back to my upbringing, and I was so annoyed that I wanted to throw you away, but I couldn't bear it after thinking about it—you are the blood of the Yang family, how could I be willing to let you suffer? So I handed you over to my neighbor, Granny Wu, to replace you I found a comfortable and wealthy family and agreed to take you away the next day. I thought about it and put my jade pendant on you, so that even if Yang Jian wanted to find you in the future, it would be a mark. But I regretted it just after I sent you away."

The dragon girl burst into tears, and tremblingly said: "I went to Granny Wu's house overnight to carry you back. I stumbled over a branch on the way and quickly used my arms to protect you. I didn't want to but hurt my elbow, so I had to take you Put it on the boulder by the side of the road, and sat aside to check the wound. Unexpectedly, when a gust of wind blows, you disappear. I searched everywhere for you, so I had to go home and ask Yang Jian for help. Throw it away, so angry that you want to strangle me..."

Cun Xin has been sincere and kind all her life, and has never done anything to harm others, but she is so suspicious of her husband who has loved her all her life, and now she feels all hope is lost.Although Yang Jian didn't attack, she was in such pain that she couldn't bear to live. She only thought that Yang Jian didn't care about Lianfa's wife's life for the sake of his illegitimate daughter, so he pulled out the Qingshuang Sword and entered Guanghan Palace.

Looking back now, the pain is still piercing.At that time, Yang Jian stood in front of Chang'e, with a shocked and angry expression on his face, which made Cun Xin feel that he was so stupid that he made a wrong move and every step was wrong. day.The next day Yang Jian accepted the order of reconciliation, but it was really a relief for the two of them.

She looked at Xiaoyu with tears in her eyes, anxiously waiting for Xiaoyu's scolding, the little fox was silent for a while, but suddenly stretched out her hand, put her arms around Cun Xin's neck, and leaned over like a child. "Third aunt..." Xiaoyu was so choked up that she couldn't speak, and after sobbing for a long time, she said: "Since I can remember, I lived with my grandma in Wanku Mountain, and I never knew the warmth and coldness of the world. Later, I saw that Chen Xiang was with other people. When a woman visits the hall, my heart is cut like a knife, but I still can't let him go. Thinking about it now, you were suffering from love back then, and your heart must be a hundred times more sad than mine." From the heart.She grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and she is innocent and kind-hearted even though she is ignorant of the world. When she saw Cun Xin crying, she felt that she felt the same situation back then, so how could she bear to blame her?

The two were weeping at each other, and they were silent for a while. After a long time, Xiaoyu said with tears: "Third Aunt, look at me, you are only crying, and you forgot that today is a good day for reunion. Although I am not blessed to be your daughter , but I also know that you didn't have any malicious intentions back then, I accepted your jade pendant, and it will be passed on to my child in the future."
