75. The Longest Night (Part 1)(1/3)
In Suzhou City, the third floor of the Smoky Rain Tower is already falling, but the city is still lively.
From this place, you can clearly see the entire Suzhou City, which is particularly noisy tonight.
The streets are full of lanterns.
The long street in the distance is also brightly lit, as if it is dancing dragons and lions.
There are gongs and drums, crowds and bustling.
Tomorrow is the Spring Festival.
According to ancient etiquette, we must keep up with the New Year tonight and set off firecrackers.
It is said that there are wealthy businessmen who want to set off fireworks in the city this year, and many people are waiting.
Whether it is poor or rich.
No matter whether this year is good or bad, everyone has expectations in their hearts. Say goodbye to this year and wish you blessings for the next year.
I wish both myself and this increasingly chaotic world, just like the past ten years.
The people are all looking forward to the chaotic times that swept the world, which will end early.
Of course, other places will definitely not be so lively, especially in Qilu, which was just a disaster half a month before the New Year.
However, those unsettling rumors that there is no market in Suzhou City, this prosperous place seems to never be covered with haze.
Tonight is New Year's Eve.
Everyone should have been with their family at home, but even some people who are flirting are unwilling to go home when their families are reunited.
Some are really worried.
More is looking forward to this New Year's Eve performance.
Today, everyone in Shen really made great efforts and performed three singing and dancing sessions in a row, so that all the guests could return home with satisfaction. The Yanyu Tower, which had been lively for a long time, closed in advance before an incense stick.
Although it is the head of the Five Elements Gate.
But even if it is a killer, it should relax and enjoy your life tonight.
"You're still waiting."
The door was gently pushed open, and Shen Jia, wearing a big red dress, walked into the room tiredly. She looked at Yaoqin sitting by the window and said softly:
"No need to wait, he can't get back."
"You know again."
Yaoqin posed with the beauty fan and glanced at Shen Lan.
She said:
"I'm not waiting for him, I just want to listen and take a look at the lively landscape in Suzhou."
"It's right and wrong."
Shen Lan chuckled, walked forward, and closed the open window beside Yaoqin.
She doesn't like noise.
Although occasionally, she also wants to go and share the excitement.
"You like to be quiet on weekdays."
Shen Lan sat next to Yaoqin and looked at the fallen moon qin that was sealed in the piano box today.
She said:
"I'm afraid it's not because of my loneliness and misery, I can't even practice the piano anymore. I also have to open the window to let the excitement I didn't like in the past fill the center of my ears, so that I don't think of being alone, but my lover is thousands of miles away."
The witch stretched out her fingers, held them on Yaoqin's chin, and raised her shattered face.
She said:
"Yaoqin, Yaoqin, it's so pitiful. Why do you fall in love with such a person?"
"Don't be a lie!"
Yaoqin, who used to be gentle, raised her hand and pushed Shen Lan's finger apart. She couldn't lift her energy and said indifferently:
"Aren't you the same? You're miserable and miserable."
"Well, no, no, no."
Shen Lan seemed to be showing off on purpose, she said:
"That fool has just arrived back, and he ran for more than a hundred miles overnight. He made a special trip back to see me."
These words made Yaoqin glar at her fiercely.
explain:
"Then why are you still teasing me here? Why don't you go to accompany your lover? I heard that you want to go with him to the South China Sea?"
The witch curled her lips.
She sat upright in her chair, leaning against her, whispering:
"I won't go now. He said that Lin'an has changed. After that, I think I didn't choose well and I'm not ready yet.
Yaoqin, you said
Chen Lan pursed her lips.
The head of the Five Elements Sect, who has always been confident, is rarely a little nervous when chatting with her best friend.
She said:
"You said, will his parents dislike me?"
"ah?"
Yaoqin's eyes widened.
She wanted to laugh a little, but forced herself to hold it back, she said:
"Why do you have this kind of thought? With your Shen, everyone's appearance and figure, Liu Zhuoran is more than enough to match him. His parents were too happy to see you.
Why dislike it?”
"I"
Chen Lan looked at the blood-red nails on her fingers.
She said:
"After all, I was once a demon sect and I had nullified martial arts. His parents are decent knights. I heard that they are also orthodox and old-fashioned people. I guess they will hate me to death."
"Look at what you said."
Yaoqin shook her head, she stretched out her hand and held Chen Lan's finger.
Say softly:
"My husband doesn't listen to this distinction between good and evil the most. Liu Zhuoran has a close relationship with him. I think he doesn't care about good and evil. He doesn't care. What are you afraid of?
You will marry him in the future, not his parents.
Besides, if you didn’t use Liu Zhuoran’s martial arts skills, he would still be a disciple of Penglai. Look at the current situation, how disgusting it would be.
You saved him.”
"Ph! Who wants to marry him!"
Everyone Shen’s cheeks were rosy, as shy as the night flowers, with a few touches of different charm than usual.
However, Yaoqin's words were reasonable. She felt a little calmer and wanted to show off her love for Yaoqin.
This will not be said.
She looked at Yaoqin, and the picturesque beauty in Jiangnan in front of her was smiling.
But deep in my eyes, there was a hint of loneliness.
It's fine on weekdays, but she is elegant and can pass the time when practicing piano and painting painting.
But today is different. After all, I am not the girl I used to be, and I am simple in my mind. Now that I am married to a wife, I have the intention.
Today is New Year's Eve, and all those who have the conditions must reunite their families.
But she couldn't ask for it.
"Chen Qiu should be with Qingqing and Feiniao now in Chang'an."
Chen Lan said softly:
"Even if he wants to return, it will be really difficult for him to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Don't be sad."
Everyone wanted to say some comforting words, but racked their brains and only had a few dry words.
She is a witch!
It's really not suitable for her to comfort people.
