Lamp Flower Smile

Pei Yunying walked in from outside the door.

Today he changed into a red brocade dress with bird patterns on the ground and narrow sleeves. He had been in southern Jiangsu for so long, and he had mostly worn a guard's riding uniform. Suddenly, he changed into brighter clothes. In the hazy night, he looked particularly handsome and handsome.

The medical officers were silent for a moment. Chang Jin came to his senses first and stood up and said: "Why is Commander Pei here? Isn't it that he is with County Lieutenant Li and the others today..."

As their trip back to Beijing was about to begin, Li Wenhu and Cai Fang planned to take advantage of New Year's Eve to say goodbye to everyone. But Chang Jin declined. Today, Pei Yunying arranged for the troops staying in southern Jiangsu at the county government office, and they should have dinner with the people in the county government office.

Pei Yunying walked to the table and said, "The banquet has dispersed."

"So early?" Chang Jin was surprised, "I thought Cai Xian Cheng and the others were going to stay until the end of the year."

Pei Yun smiled and said nothing.

Chang Jin didn't think much about it. He picked up the jug and poured wine for Pei Yunying: "Dian Shuai Pei came just in time. The epidemic control in southern Jiangsu would not have been as smooth as it was without your help. Let me toast you tonight while we are having fun together."

Pei Yunying was originally in trouble in Qishui, but then rushed to southern Jiangsu to deliver medicine and food. Later, he asked the Shengjing court for orders and obtained the holy edict, so that the red wood vines and golden tan from outside could be delivered to southern Jiangsu in time.

Pei Yunying smiled, lowered his head and drank the wine.

This was an extraordinary moment, as if it was the beginning, all the medical officers from the Medical Officer's Hospital gathered around him.

"I'd like to pay a toast to Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei really saved my life! How could Sunan be so cold? The ice particles drilled into the cracks of people's bones. It was all thanks to the bright charcoal sent by Commander Pei. If it hadn't been for this Thing, I will definitely not survive to return to Shengjing!"

"I'll come, I'll come," the old medical officer was squeezed away, and someone bowed to him again, "How long have those wolf-hearted people in the city been thinking about grabbing medicine and food? It's a good thing, Mr. Pei, that you're here As soon as the soldiers and horses walked on the street, all the gangsters in Sunan stopped."

"Master Pei..."

"I respect you..."

"Young people are promising and attach great importance to love and righteousness..."

"You will have a bright future when you return to Shengjing. Don't forget to promote and help when the time comes..."

This is too far gone.

The young man who was surrounded by everyone was dressed in scarlet clothes. He had a smile on his face and was not impatient at all. He had a good temper and took a wine cup to greet everyone. He became the center of attention and everyone came to follow him.

Occasionally when he was drinking, he would look past the people at the table and look towards this side as if nothing had happened.

Lu Zhuo looked away.

Medical officers are usually cautious in their words and deeds, so as to convince the patients. They all look gentle and elegant. They probably rarely drank alcohol before, and their drinking capacity seems not to be very good. They get drunk even after not drinking much.

Some stood on the table and sang, some cried and thought about their faults against the wall, and some said that the hospital had too many errands and the patients were cunning and wanted to hang themselves with hemp rope. I don’t know whether it’s because the Tusu wine is too strong, or because the people in the medical hospital are too drunk, or because too many people are pretending to be crazy with the help of wine. In short, it’s like a demon has appeared, and it can be said that a group of demons are dancing wildly.

Just as Lu Yun was being disturbed by the noise, she saw the young man surrounded by people looking towards her. When their eyes met, Pei Yunying gave her a slight wink and walked towards the door first.

She knew it well, put down the cup and stood up.

Ji Xun asked: "Where are you going, Medical Officer Lu? The fireworks are about to be set off."

"Wander around as you like." Lu Yan said, turned around and walked out the door.

When she went out, she saw Pei Yunying waiting for her at the door. She stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

"There are so many people inside, don't you find it noisy?" He smiled and glanced at the mingling figures in the courtyard, "I'll take you somewhere."

Before Lu Yan could speak, he was pulled forward by him.

It was already late at night on New Year's Eve, and there was no one on the street. Every household in Sunan City was reunited with their families, and occasionally one or two firecrackers could be heard deep in the streets.

After crossing the long corridor and entering the courtyard, Lu Zhu finally realized what he was saying, "Isn't this the residence of your guards?"

The hospital and the guards' quarters are adjacent to each other to accommodate temporary emergencies.

"Yes." Pei Yunying said, "Didn't you come here before?"

Lu Yan was speechless for a moment. The last time she came here, Pei Yunying was injured and she bandaged him.

Thinking of the scene at that time, his face couldn't help but look a little unnatural.

"What's that expression on your face?" Pei Yunying crossed her arms and looked at her, "You look guilty."

"How can you feel guilty?" Lu Yan opened the door and walked in, "Where are the other people in your dormitory?"

"Cai Fang arranged a celebration banquet. They are all eating and will not come back until very late. And they can't enter my yard." Pei Yunying followed her and closed the door.

Lu Zhen entered the room and couldn't help but be startled.

On the small table by the window, there is a wine pot, two jade cups, several plates of sugar pastries, and in the middle there is a string of copper coins tied with colorful threads, with the twenty-four blessings and longevity engraved on them.

One hundred and ten coins are worn with long colored threads, so divide them and put them on your pillow for your own collection.

When we were in the Lu family, every New Year's Eve, my mother would secretly stuff copper coins strung with red thread under her pillow.

Lu Zhu picked up the copper coins and looked at the person opposite: "New Year's money?"

"Aren't you sorry that you didn't get any coins tonight?" Pei Yunying sat down in front of the table, "Now you have it."

"How do you know I didn't get the coins?"

He glanced at Lu Yan and said leisurely: "When I came into your yard, your colleague was courting you. You can tell at a glance."

Lu Chen: "..."

This man's eyes were as vicious as ever.

Lu Yan put away the bunch of copper coins: "So, you asked me to come here just to give me lucky money?"

"Of course not." Pei Yunying looked out the window: "Watching fireworks with a group of drunkards would be too noisy. My yard is clean and I can lend it to you."

To be honest, he really chose a good place, quiet and simple, and you can see the outside of the courtyard as soon as you open the window. I think this should be the best place to watch the fireworks at midnight.

"Then should I thank the commander?"

"Okay," he held his chin and looked at Lu Tong, curling his lips slightly, "How do you want to thank me?"

"How do you want me to thank you?"

Pei Yunying raised his eyelids and looked at her. After a while, he laughed: "Then let's heal your wound first."

"It sounds like you want to blackmail someone." Lu Tong picked up the wine pot, filled a full cup and put it to her lips. As soon as she took a sip, she was filled with sweet fragrance. She was stunned for a moment and looked at Pei Yunying: "Isn't it wine?"

He glanced at her, his eyes seemed to be reproachful. While picking up the pot and filling himself up, he said: "You are still taking medicine, want to drink, are you going to die?"

"I specially found the plum blossom drink. I see that your colleagues didn't prepare sweet syrup for you."

He kept saying "colleagues", and he always felt that he was referring to something. Lu Tong was speechless and raised her head to drink the drink in the cup.

When she raised her hand, her sleeve slipped down, revealing her scarred wrist. The scar was different from the past, and it was a little red. Pei Yunying frowned when he saw this, grabbed her hand, and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Tong paused.

Recently, after her body gradually responded to the medicine again, Ji Xun treated her old wounds from Huangmaogang again. Some medicines are useful to her and some are useless. When they fall on her body, there will inevitably be some unexpected reactions.

After she explained to Pei Yunying, Pei Yunying let go of her hand, but his brows were still twisted: "Do you want to keep trying like this?"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Tong said, "It doesn't hurt."

Hearing this, Pei Yunying raised his eyes and looked at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong: "What?"

"When it hurts, you say it doesn't hurt. When you want it, you say you don't want it. When you like it, you say you don't like it." He said indifferently, "Doctor Lu, do you have to be so hypocritical?"

There was a bit of coldness in his words. Lu Tong raised her eyes and he stared at her, looking a little angry.

After a moment of silence, Lu Tong said: "Doctor Ji used the medicine, and the wound will always heal."

Pei Yunying looked at her quietly with a complicated look in his eyes. After a while, he seemed to finally compromise and spoke in a gentle voice.

"That's what the doctor said."

"For sick people, there is no need to endure. Scream when it hurts and say when you feel uncomfortable. That's what patients should do."

"Doctor Lu has been a doctor for too long. Sometimes, you might as well try to treat yourself as an ordinary patient." He lowered his head and put the cup filled with sweet water into Lu Tong's hand. When their fingertips touched, there was a slight warmth.

Lu Tong looked at the person in front of him.

In the slightly cold night of Southern Jiangsu, the young man's eyebrows and eyes faded away from their usual sharpness, and his eyes looked at her as gentle as rain.

"Next time you feel pain, tell me. Although it is useless, at least someone knows."

Lu Tong was stunned for a moment.

It was as if a boat sailed to a quiet cold river, gradually cutting through a river of spring water, and the ripples swayed, and her mind moved slightly.

"Boom--"

Across the dormitory, there were faint laughter and screams from the medical officer's dormitory next door.

Lu Tong tilted her head.

It was midnight, and fireworks began to be set off over Southern Jiangsu.

The fire trees brushed against the clouds, like red phoenixes dancing, and they were as brilliant as falling stars.

She stood up, put down the teacup, and walked to the front of the courtyard.

The light of the flowers and the fireworks made the originally deserted streets and alleys very lively. In an instant, the sky was covered with flowers.

Lu Tong looked up at the fireworks above her head.

This was the third time she watched fireworks after landing on Meifeng.

The first time was on New Year's Eve last year, and the second time was when Qi Yutai died. She had no interest in appreciating the fireworks the first two times, but this time, although not as grand and prosperous as the Shengjing fireworks, she felt it was particularly beautiful.

She looked at the people around her.

Pei Yunying walked to her side, caught her eye, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Tong shook her head, "I just thought that I seemed to have watched the fireworks with you on New Year's Eve last year."

Pei Yunying was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that he just remembered the scene at that time.

At that time, she fell into the muddy water on the ground, he was high above, aggressive, and the bright silver flowers outside the window were blooming everywhere, and he handed her a handkerchief in the flowing light and shadow.

Some things began to change from that moment.

Pei Yunying glanced at her and raised his lips: "Yes, you still wrote me down on your list at that time, and you almost crossed me off the list."

Lu Tong: "..."

She retorted: "Then you ran to someone else's yard in the middle of the night to ask for punishment, and the palace commander almost dragged me to see the official."

He was speechless.

Lu Tong was aggressive and turned to bring up the old account: "If there was no accident at that time, would you really drag me to see the official?"

She brought up the old account so unexpectedly that Pei Yunying was helpless and laughed: "No."

"Really?"

"Really." He tilted his head and looked at her, "What about you? That night, did you really plan to kill me?"

"..."

Lu Tong turned his head away and avoided his question.

He snorted and said coldly: "Doctor Lu is really heartless."

Lu Tong felt guilty for a moment, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "You asked me to watch the fireworks, so just watch the fireworks, why are you saying these things?" He looked up again and looked at the sky above his head.

Li Wenhu went to the city shop to find all kinds of fireworks, as if to drive away the plague, the colorful flowers rose and fell, burning the night.

Just when she was a little dazzled, suddenly, a white jade carved lotus pattern sachet fell in front of her.

Lu Tong was stunned for a moment.

"Southern Jiangsu has just experienced a major epidemic, and many shops are closed. I went to see a few, but I didn't find a suitable one. I'll give you something else when I return to Shengjing. This will be your birthday gift for now."

Pei Yunying pulled the corner of his lip: "It's New Year's Day, I wish Miss Lu San happiness and joy, and a long life."

Lu Tong laughed and reached out to take the sachet.

Pei Yunying's sachet is very beautiful, with exquisite craftsmanship. The familiar cold and light fragrance in it is exactly the same as the fragrance he holds in his arms. She had asked this person for it several times without success, but now it fell into her hands.

Seeing her take the sachet and examine it, as if she couldn't let it go, Pei Yunying coughed lightly and reminded her: "You can use this sachet for your own private use, but remember not to show it to outsiders."

Lu Tong nodded, and suddenly looked at him: "Why can't you show it to outsiders?"

Without waiting for Pei Yunying to speak, she continued: "Is it because you are afraid that others will know that you and I use 'lover's fragrance'?"

Pei Yunying was stunned for a moment, and tilted his head in disbelief: "You know..."

Lu Tong blinked.

She knew.

That was much later, when she and Lin Danqing went to Guanxiang to buy medicinal materials and passed by an incense pharmacy. Lin Danqing wanted to pick some ready-made incense for clothes. Lu Tong thought about asking Pei Yunying for the sachet twice but to no avail, so she asked the shopkeeper if she could make a scent for someone else.

The shopkeeper asked her for the other person's sachet, but she couldn't take it out. After asking about the cause and effect, the shopkeeper smiled knowingly.

"Miss, the incense bought in the incense pharmacy is different from the privately blended incense. Noble men and women do not want to use the ordinary incense that everyone can buy in the incense pharmacy, and often ask perfumers to blend unique incense for themselves to show their noble status.

Since it is unique, there is no saying that two people use the same incense. Unless the two people who use the incense are husband and wife or lovers, they use the same incense recipe to show intimacy."

"Your young master is unwilling to give you the incense recipe, it should be because of this!"

Lu Tong suddenly realized.

No wonder every time she asked him for the incense recipe, he looked weird, as if she had done something out of the ordinary. It turned out that he was worried about this.

Pei Yunying stared at her, frowning slightly: "You know it, but you still ask me for it."

He misunderstood the time when Lu Tong knew it, and Lu Tong did not explain, just said: "Even if it is a lover's fragrance, there is nothing between you and me, what are you worried about?"

"Pure?"

Pei Yunying raised his eyebrows, stared at her, and suddenly laughed: "I am not innocent, haven't you always known it?"

Lu Tong paused.

He spoke so frankly, under the fireworks, his calm eyes were hot, without any concealment.

The boat passing through the Chunjiang River rippled deeper waves, and in an instant, it made her mood fluctuate and difficult to calm down.

Lu Tong looked up at him, and after a while, she said: "Today is my birthday, why don't you ask me what my birthday wish is?"

Pei Yunying was stunned: "What do you want?"

Lu Tong reached out and grabbed his collar.

He was tall, and when he was dragged, he leaned forward slightly, looking at her in confusion. Lu Tong leaned over and gently kissed the corner of his lips.

A very light, vague kiss.

Like those scattered stars in the precious torches and silver flowers, it was fleeting.

Pei Yunying looked at her.

She let go of her hand, took two steps back, turned around to leave, but was pulled back.

The dark and bright eyes clearly reflected the fireworks and her, as soft as the long night.

In the pieces of rosy clouds, he lowered his head and kissed Lu Tong.

Above the sky, snow scattered fireworks.

His kiss was light and gentle, like the soft breeze that accidentally passed by Luomei Peak, with a little bit of Tusu wine. Lu Tong was encircled in his arms, raised her head and held his arm, letting the breeze fall on her lips.

This man, she kept pushing him away.

Time and time again, he went against his will, but it was hard to deny that he was moved.

In many moments, when he stopped her from kneeling before Qi Yutai, on a night filled with the fragrance of flowers in the late spring and early summer of a medical officer's hospital, every time he approached her, she could not avoid the ripples of the moment. The unspoken look in his eyes on the Qixi Festival, the night rain on Danfeng Terrace that was hesitant to speak...

Maybe even earlier, as early as the first time they met on a snowy night, when he lit the lantern...

The future fate was already destined.

She closed her eyes and hugged the neck of the person in front of her.

"Pei Yunying..." Lu Tong murmured vaguely.

The other party was slightly attracted by her and asked gently: "What?"

"Yes." Lu Tong said.

She was not frank with him.

She had selfish feelings for him.
