Chapter 208: I want you to know my truest appearance

Chunxiao didn't understand what He Linwan meant, thinking that He Linwan was afraid that these twenty lantern riddles would be too difficult, so she immediately patted her ass and said: "It's not a slave to brag! As long as you are willing to go out of the horse, the lantern is not in your bag?

He Linwan glanced at Chunxiao with a smile, but did not explain again, only said, "Let's go over to find Xiaohuzi." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He Linwan walked to the barbecue stall in front of him, but when he arrived at the stall, he didn't see Xiaohuzi.

Chunxiao asked the owner of the barbecue stall, Xiaohuzi, about his whereabouts, and the boss said, "That little young master who asked for fifty barbecues in one go?" He went to the moat with a young man about his age. ”

"A young man about the same age as the young master, could it be the young master of a family that the young master knew in the barracks?" Chunxiao looked at He Linwan in confusion.

He Linwan was also a little puzzled, although Xiaohuzi often went to the barracks with He Guanglie, but he was relatively lonely and couldn't speak, so he didn't have friends of the same age, but he was familiar with some generals and soldiers, and liked to learn skills behind others.

However, although there were many people at the Lantern Festival, there were patrolling officials a few steps away, and Xiaohuzi's own force value was not low, and few of his peers could beat him, so He Linwan was not too worried about his safety.

"Big girl, why don't we go back to the lantern stall and wait for the young master to come back?" there seems to be someone guessing the riddle over there, it's very lively!" Obviously, Chunxiao was not too worried about the safety of her family's domineering young master, and wanted to go to see the excitement.

He Linwan didn't need to look to know that it was the group of the five princes who were there to guess the lantern riddles, and she was not interested in watching a bunch of people flattering the five princes there.

"Let's go for a walk by the moat, maybe you can meet the little tiger. He Linwan left a few mothers-in-law who came with him to wait for Xiaohuzi, and took Chunxiao to the moat by himself.

Chunxiao couldn't help but turn around while following He Linwan, trying to persuade He Linwan to watch the excitement: "Oh girl! Let's go and guess the riddle, that pair of glass lamps is beautiful, I don't know who will end up in the hands, what is there to see by the moat in this winter? The river is frozen and you can't put lanterns...... Huh, somebody's putting a lantern?"

He Linwan also saw the Kong Ming lantern that was slowly rising into the air, every lantern in this lantern festival was all beautiful, lest it not attract the attention of passers-by, but this Kong Ming lantern was pure white paper paste, and there was no decorative pattern at all, which was very faint.

He Linwan approached and saw the person who was standing by the moat and looking up at Kong Ming's lantern.

The man heard the movement behind him, and turned around, a cold and clear face, and the lights on the moat were clearly bright, but it seemed that his dark pupils could not be reflected.

"Girl, it's Lord Xue!" Chunxiao whispered to He Linwan in surprise.

He Linwan didn't speak, but Xue Xingyi opened his mouth first: "Miss He is here to watch the lanterns?"

"Lord Xue is so Yaxing. He Lin bowed his head and said lightly.

Xue Xingyi turned his head to look at the Kong Ming lantern that had risen into the air, and frowned slightly as if he was worried that it would fall from mid-air: "I put one lamp every year, I'm used to it." ”

Chunxiao couldn't help but be curious: "Lord Xue, where did you buy this lamp? How do you do it so simply!"

Xue Xingyi's tone was rare and gentle: "I did it myself, but it's a pity that I haven't made any progress in my craft after so many years." ”

Chunxiao's mouth grew in surprise, as if she couldn't connect the humble and mediocre lamp in the sky with this amazingly talented Lord Xue.

Chunxiao snorted and said embarrassedly: "Then why don't you draw some flowers and plants on the lamp?

Xue Xingyi did not answer.

He Linwan looked at the lamp, but remembered that he had taught Xue Xingyi to make Kong Ming lanterns.

At that time, they were still an unmarried couple, and she had just learned how to make Kong Ming lanterns from books, and she wanted to try to do it, but she didn't want to be scratched by bamboo strips. At that time, Xue Xingyi happened to be a guest at her house, so she said that she talked on paper, but she only saw it, but she couldn't learn it. She smiled and said with a smile, Xue Gongzi has never liked to talk on paper, why don't you try it?

Xue Xingyi is a very pragmatic person, and she is the most impatient to spend effort on these useless things on weekdays, she just said it casually, but she didn't expect Xue Xingyi to smile slightly, and really rolled up her sleeves: "You dictate the method, I'll do it?"

As a result, Xue Xingyi wasted the materials of five lamps, injured ten fingers, and finally made an imperfect Kong Ming lantern, which was crooked and fluttering when it rose into the air, and finally hung on a branch and almost burned the plum tree outside the yard.

She was afraid that his self-esteem would be damaged, so she kept smiling.

"In the future, I will be responsible for making the lamp every year, and you are only responsible for painting on it, okay?" Xue Xingyi didn't feel that there was anything unsightly about his masterpiece, so he only lowered his head and asked her.

At that time, it was Yang Weizhen, and she thought it seemed good, but now that she thinks about it, she only feels ironic.

He Linwan didn't say anything more, turned around and left with Chunxiao, and Xue Xingyi didn't look back, just staring at the Kong Ming lantern that was flying higher and higher.

When he was far away, Chunxiao sighed: "It seems that Xue Gongzi is a long-term lover. ”

He Linwan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Can you see this?"

Chunxiao said: "Girl, you don't know, the girls in Penglai City don't know how to be reserved at all, as long as they are free, they like to talk about this Lord Xue's gossip! The slave maid looked at the way he had just put the Kong Ming lantern, and he must have missed the old man! He said that he had to put a lamp every year, and it must have something to do with the person in his heart. ”

He Linwan felt funny when she heard this, she glanced back at the Chunxiao who was immersed in her imagination, but found that there was a person leaning under a tree not far away, this person didn't know how long he had been standing there, He Linwan didn't even notice his breath.

Chunxiao also saw that person along He Linwan's line of sight, and couldn't help but be startled: "Aunt, girl, let's get out of here." I've heard that when the soldiers were guarding the city, they filled this river with a lot of corpses, which was strange and scary. ”

He Linwan looked at the man for a while, but then walked under the tree where the man was standing, and Chunxiao followed with a trembling look like a little daughter-in-law.

After getting closer and seeing the man's face clearly, Chunxiao suddenly screamed and grabbed He Linwan's sleeve: "Girl......! There are ghosts ......."

He Linwan said helplessly: "That's a mask!"

Hearing this, Chunxiao plucked up the courage to take another look at the man's face, and found that it was indeed a Yaksha mask.

"When did you come?" He Linwan asked the masked man who couldn't see his face. ”

"When you watch someone put the lights on. The man's voice was low and hoarse, and there seemed to be a hint of a casual smile.

He Linwan ignored his words, and looked around: "You can get rid of those guards who are guarding you and come out alone, it can be seen that your martial arts have made great progress in the past few years." ”

The man glanced in the direction of Chunxiao, obviously he still had a mask on his face, and it was not a bright hall under the tree, but Chunxiao immediately noticed the man's oppressive gaze, she almost instinctively took a few steps back and hid in the shade of the tree, and then consciously and silently turned her back without waiting for anyone to speak.

After the body involuntarily made this series of reactions, Chunxiao immediately reacted that this situation seemed to be somewhat familiar, there seemed to be such a person who could make her kneel with a look before, recalling the conversation between her own girl and the man just now, Chunxiao had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and immediately thought of a person!

Chunxiao wanted to sneak around and take a look to confirm her guess, but for some reason she just didn't dare to turn around, Chunxiao felt bitter.

He Linwan glanced back at his maid, with a helpless expression: "What do you always scare her for!"

Li Yu said lightly: "If you can't even beat your wife in the future, how can you save face." ”

He Linwan was stunned for a moment before he realized that Li Yu was responding to her last sentence.

He Linwan: "......"

The two stood there silent for a moment.

He Linwan looked at the mask on his face and said casually: "There are no others here, why don't you take off the mask?"

He Linwan knew that this kind of mask was not very comfortable to wear on her face, she thought that Li Yu had sneaked out, and she was afraid of being recognized by others when she wore the mask.

Li Yu leaned against the tree, and his gaze stopped on He Linwan's face: "I'm afraid that you will see my face at this moment." ”

He Linwan frowned: "Your face is injured?"

He Linwan hesitated to take off Li Yu's mask, but was grabbed by Li Yu's wrist. He Linwan subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but the next moment he fell into a solid and warm embrace.

Li Yu hugged He Linwan and said in a low voice: "Don't look, the face of a jealous man is not good-looking." ”

Even through the thick clothes, He Linwan seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat of Li Yu, who was close to her, and unconsciously He Linwan's heartbeat kept up with Li Yu's frequency.

He Linwan hurriedly raised his hand to push Li Yu away, but Li Yu let go of her first step obediently.

Li Yu raised his hand and took off the Yaksha mask on his face, revealing that extremely handsome face.

He Linwan was a little annoyed in her heart, but she didn't know who this anger was directed at, she looked at Li Yu and said coldly: "Isn't it so ugly that you can't see people!

Li Yu had a faint smile on his lips, looking at He Linwan's eyes but serious and pure, he put the mask in his hand on He Linwan's hand: "But I still want you to know my truest appearance." ”

He Linwan's heart trembled, and she felt that the thing in her hand had an extraordinary heat, so hot that she almost couldn't hold it steadily. She grabbed the Yaksha mask, and she didn't throw it, she didn't throw it, it was really a dilemma.
