I promise

Chapter 971
After the Chinese New Year, the spring breeze will come.

Blowing away the lake ice, blowing green willow buds, and blowing peach blossom cheeks red.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Shangsi Festival. "The weather will be new on March [-], and every household will fly paper kites", which is the most anticipated festival for children.

Yao Zhen is ten years old this year, he looks like a child's head.

The grass on the Leyou Plain is full of grass. The little girl is wearing a green dress that is greener than the grass color. My cousin Wen Shi, my aunt's cousins ​​Ju Yan, Cheng Que and Ruochong, a large group of children were sitting on the grass and making kites.

"Ju Yan, your family is so rich, why didn't your father buy you a big kite instead of letting you make it yourself?" Mu Yihe asked.

He is one year and four months older than Chang Juyan, and he is considered to be the closest in age to Juyan among the cousins, so they can talk together.He thought that if Ju Yan could persuade his father to buy a kite, he might be able to take him with him, so he wouldn't have to work so hard to make the kite.

"My family has money, but I don't." Chang Juyan lowered his head and tied the bamboo strips seriously, without raising his head, and said, "My great-grandfather said that the food grown by ourselves tastes better. It's so boring to buy a kite to fly."

"Ah, you still want to grow your own food?" Yihe asked in surprise.

Ju Yan was startled by his sudden utterance, fell silent for a while, and stopped talking: Why do you feel that this cousin is a bit stupid!
Mu Yihe also realized that he had asked a stupid question, scratched his head embarrassingly, and then glanced at the bamboo frame in Ju Yan's hand: just now it was a thin and long strip, but now it has become a swallow shape.

He held the stalk in his hand and didn't know how to deal with it, feeling a little frustrated.

His father was much stricter than Ju Yan's father. He neither allowed him to play truant from school nor took him to play polo. Today, he was allowed to come to Leyouyuan for a spring tour, and it was the third aunt who helped him talk about love.

He has endless homework every day. Apart from reading and practicing swords, he doesn't know anything else.But he couldn't say it, he would be laughed at by his younger brothers, so he had to raise his head, pretending to look at the clouds in the sky.

Mu Anran came over and said in a low voice, "Cousin Ju Yan, do you have no money? Last year I went to Xiangxi to celebrate the New Year. My grandparents and sixteen uncles gave me a lot of lucky money. I will give it to you."

Chang Juyan: ...

Mu Yihe turned his head at this time and said, "Ju Yan, you can't ask for the lucky money from Tian Niuer, or you will marry her."

"Is it not good?" Mu Anran blinked and asked in confusion.

Yao really couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud "puchi".

Wen Shi is the most well-mannered among the group of children, sitting upright and speaking softly, "Why?"

"Because Sweet Girl likes Cousin Ju Yan." Five-year-old Xiao Yaolei said.

Wen Shi still didn't understand, her round eyes, which were prettier than Amber's, were full of doubts.

"It's my elder brother." Cheng Que said with a straight face, and nodded seriously.Except for Ruo Chong, no one knew what he was talking about.

***
The spring mountains are deserted, and the mulberry clouds are faint.

In spring and March, the sky is as clear as a piece of pale colored glaze.

The scent of flowers and herbs in the wind blowing on the face, sniffing carefully, also has the unique smell of spring sunshine - inexplicable, leisurely and appropriate.

This lazy and cozy feeling was unfamiliar to Mu Dianke.

Perhaps the memories of those years of scorching stones and cold winds were too deep, and the days that were too good made her uneasy—the wind was warm, the flowers were fragrant, and all her thoughts and relatives were by her side.It will make her worry that she has got too much, too much happiness, so that God can't stand it, and she will be quietly taken away at any time.

Of course she wouldn't say anything that would spoil the scenery. She smiled softly and ate plums while gossiping with Yu Yi and Liao 17.

Three men sat on the other side.

——Xin Baige and Mu Dian don't deal with each other. They never participate in the gatherings of the Mu brothers and sisters. Mu Zijian appears occasionally, but Mu Yi and Hui Hui are always brought along by Mu Ziyan.

As the patriarch of the Yingshuinan clan, Wen Heng couldn't miss important sacrificial festivals. After sending Mu Yueting and her daughter to her natal home, she hurried back to Yingchuan.Mu Yueting was not very interested in the spring outing activities, so he was also absent.

Only Mu Zijin, Mu Ziyan and Chang Qianfo are the only ones who are always together.

Good spring, should be accompanied by wine.

Knowing the third uncle's temperament, Chang Qianfo prepared several jars of aged wine on the traveling carriage.Mu Ziyan was really useful.Uncle Lang, each with a pot of wine, sat down on the ground with a cross-legged horse and golden knife, and then put a few catties of cooked beef and a bowl of salted beans, and it was considered a feast.

Talk all over the sky.

Mu Zijin never drank alcohol, let alone talked, just sat and listened silently.Occasionally, when he was asked to speak, he spoke briefly and to the point.The longest sentence was for Mu Dianke, teach her to enjoy the spring with peace of mind, and he will keep an eye on the children.

Yu Yi smiled and sighed, the two brothers had such different personalities, Mu Ziyan would not bother to look at them unless his son and daughter were fighting;

Does Mu Dian know that Mu Zijin's cautiousness has something to do with the fire in Julin Garden.

He wants to keep an eye on the people he cares about.

"That's why I only want to give birth to a sweet girl, and another one, his eyes are not enough." Liao Shiqi complained, "It's really disgusting, he clearly said that he only has eyes for me."

He said he was complaining, but his eyes were smiling, and his face was full of timid tenderness.

Yu Yi thought for a while, facing the cold face of her second uncle, saying "I only have eyes for you", what it would be like... I can't imagine.

On the other side, Mu Zijin, who could clearly hear the conversation between the three aunts and sisters-in-law, blushed.

Fortunately, Liao Shiqi was always quick to change the subject, "Last year I went back to my natal family, I stopped by, and went to Huairentang to see Ah Zhuang and the others. The little fat guy has grown so tall. It's better to look thinner. Loud and violent Like Li Zhe, are you surprised?"

"When I was young, I ran errands behind Li Zhe, and it was my cousin and nephew. What's so strange." Mu Dian laughed, "It's a bit far along your road."

Liao Shiqi laughed "hehe".

On the way back to her mother's house, she took Mu Zijin to "drop in" to the south of the Yangtze River, but Mu Zijin didn't touch her, and the sister-in-law had a sharp mouth.

Yu Yi used to smooth things over, "No wonder Leilei has been arguing about going to the south of the Yangtze River on a black-peng boat recently, so I heard what Tian Niu said."

"Yes, yes." Liao Shiqi said happily, "Tianniu likes to row boats."

She turned her head and stared at Mu Dianke, who is a rich woman with a boat at home, "Little Si, don't you really want to be in-laws with me? Look at how beautiful my sweet girl is, and she is so kind to Ju Yan." , you won't suffer."

"Tianniu is still young." Mu Dianke bit a plum and said, "He has not yet settled down. Maybe one day he will meet a better-looking boy, and he will not like Ju Yan."

Liao Shiqi thought about it too. When he was a child, he still wanted to marry Dashan in the village next door. He thought Dashan was the most beautiful in ten miles and eight villages. He never thought that there would be a little blue falling from the sky.

There are many tourists in the field, and some people run horses from time to time.

Liao Shiqi grabbed another handful of melon seeds, picked up the previous words, and said, "Ah Zhuang said, you also served as his master and took him to run horses in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou, but he was tormented badly. You will also teach him sometime." its me?"

"I want to see it." Mu Dianke spat the plum core on the big square handkerchief, looked up at the tourists walking horses in twos and threes on Leyouyuan, and said with a smile, "I can't do it now, I'm afraid I'll be shocked."

There are not many tourists in this grassland, I don't know if it's because Mu Dian has a bad reputation, or because Mu Ziyan's appearance is not easy to mess with.

Mu Yihe's shrill yell was particularly rousing, "Ju Yan, run fast, run fast—— hurry up! It's about to fall."

The twins clenched their fists and jumped up nervously, "Brother, run!"

The two are the youngest, jumping up and down among the brothers and sisters who are much taller than themselves, falling one by one, like pressing a ladle on water.

Mu Ziyan laughed out loud at the funny appearance of the two nephews.

Mu Dianke also laughed.

"It's not impossible." She stood up neatly, "When you say it, I'm really itchy."

Just as Ju Yan raised the swallow kite, he ran desperately against the wind.

I really envy June for having such long legs.I heard from my third uncle that I was like a mother because I grew up late, and I went to take care of my long-term eyes-it doesn't sound like a good word.

There was the sound of horseshoes falling behind him, and someone called "Ju Yan", Chang Juyan turned his head, and saw his mother in a moon-white dress fluttering in the wind, lowered her body on the horse's back, and stretched out her hand towards him.

He hastened his pace and ran a few steps forward, stretching his arms out.

"mother!"

As soon as the mother and son's arms were intertwined in the air, Ju Yan was lifted and sat on the horse's back, and the wind howled all over his ears.

The horse gallops too fast, the fishing line is stretched straight, pulling the swallow kite in the sky to run as fast as an eagle, fast and weak.

Xunling is because of flying fast, and weak is also because of flying fast.

——The swallow's wings were blown back into a curved bow by the wind, as if it would break at the touch of a touch, and the iris fluttered, and it didn't know when it would be torn into pieces by the strong wind...

The boys jumped up and down.

The eagle-like swallow zither beats up into the sky, driving the hammer to spin rapidly until the thread is exhausted.Seeing only a small dot in the air, Ju Yan raised his arm and threw the empty wire hammer in his hand.

Breaking the kite and flying a disaster is the meaning of flying a kite for the Shangsi Festival.

That's why Chang Juyan tied each thread so carefully. He hoped that the swallow kite would fly high and far away with the bad luck of the whole family: grandpa's, parents', twins'... everyone of.

The kite-flying people on Leyouyuan cast envious eyes, especially the children.

"Are you happy?" Mu Dianke took the reins, walked around the pedestrians and galloping horses in front, pressed his chin on Chang Juyan's shoulder, and asked in a soft voice.

"Happy!" Ju Yan answered loudly, waving his arms in the wind.

The wind poured straight into his mouth, blocking his voice, and the beating made the echo intermittent.He thought it was fun, so he shouted again, just like before, he bounced back like hitting an echoing wall.

He couldn't help laughing.

Mu Dianke's smile also followed his son's mood to bloom to its peak.

"Remember those envious eyes, son." She suddenly turned serious, her voice was low but firm, "You don't have to show off, but when it's time for you to shine, you don't have to hold back, even if you want to attract everyone's attention." ——You have this ability! It’s a gift from heaven, don’t bury it.”

"I remember, mother!" Chang Juyan replied loudly.

With a flash of consonance, there seemed to be a white light falling into my heart, which was clearer than ever before.

This time he caught it.

"Mother, I know why you asked me to make a hundred gourds." He said with shame.

　Thank you dear ones who are still there, Dazhang barely counts as an addition, haha, I am asking for praise online.
