Chapter Twenty-Five: The Crowd Seeks Him a Thousand Degrees

Shen Mansion, under the reflection of a few candles, making the originally festive cave room look more festive, Shen Wenqiu held a delicate and small joy in both hands, and slowly picked up the bride's wedding cover on the head of the twilight snow poem, seeing that she was wearing a phoenix crown and a light smoky makeup, at this time she lowered her head shyly, and the red candlelight reflected on her face, delicate and red, tonight's twilight snow poem is a hundred times more beautiful than before, and she can see that Qiu is out of her mind;

Twilight Xueshi lowered her head and said shyly, "Brother Shen, what are you looking at?"

Shen Wenqiu came back to his senses and said: "I didn't expect my Xue Shi to be so beautiful tonight, I am a little envious of myself, and I don't know how many lifetimes I have cultivated to marry our Xue Shi." ”

Twilight Xueshi listened to Shen Wenqiu's words that were several times more serious than usual, and her heart was happy, and she said shyly with peach blossoms on her face: "Brother Shen, I'm making fun of Xueshi again." ”

After speaking, the room was quiet for a while, it should have been worth a thousand gold at the moment of the Spring Festival, but both of them were sixteen or seventeen years old, and the husband and wife didn't know how to have sex, and the quiet atmosphere seemed a little embarrassing;

Mrs. Shen, who was listening to the cave room outside, was a little anxious, complaining that she had forgotten to let the matchmaker explain what to do between husband and wife.

I couldn't help sighing, my stupid son, no wonder he lived up to the beauty of Oiran Ruhong half a year ago, let her stay alone in the empty room, and came back with a cold, it seems that after tonight, I have to wake up his things about men and women, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't want to hold my grandson in this life.

Shen Wenqiu said: "Xue Shi, tonight is the Lantern Festival, why don't I take you out for a walk! "Twilight Snow Poetry had heard her grandfather talk about the lively scene of the Lantern Festival before, but she never had the chance to see it, so she couldn't help but nod;

The two changed their clothes, sneaked out through the window of the room, and climbed out of the courtyard wall of the Shen Mansion, which was not very high;

I don't know where Shen Wenqiu conjured up the two delicate butterfly masks, and Twilight Xue Shi exclaimed in surprise, "It's so beautiful! Brother Shen, where did you get it?" ”

Shen Wenqiu didn't tell her where she came from, but just asked her to wear it, and told her some romantic stories about wearing a mask during the Lantern Festival, which made Twilight Snow Shi envious, and put on a mask full of joy, and then ran towards the street like a cheerful child, running towards the bustle.

The Lantern Festival has always been one of the most lively festivals in the Southern Ming Kingdom, along the river bank of Nanshan County, all the way is brightly lit, people come and go, lively and extraordinary, children carrying lanterns, young men and women wearing masks, kind old people who love to be lively, enthusiastic stall owners, each has its own idleness, each has its own comfort;

Twilight Xueshi took Shen Wenqiu's hand and ran happily towards the excitement, and Wenqiu also let her be happy, looking at her happy appearance, she couldn't help but feel happy;

In front of the stall, the honest boss said enthusiastically: "Girl, good eyesight, this lamp is the most delicate and beautiful lamp in my stall." Twilight Xue Shi listened to the boss's enthusiastic introduction, liked it tightly, and asked, "Uncle, how much is this lamp?" The boss listened to her so polite, and said with a kind smile, "Girl, we don't sell this lamp." ”

Shen Wenqiu looked at the exquisite workmanship of this boxy, and even the lantern painted on it was exquisite, and stopped Du Xueshi, who was about to ask why, and said, "Boss, can I take a look at the riddle of this lamp?"

Shen Wenqiu was wearing a mask, and the boss couldn't see the face under the mask clearly, and he didn't know that it was their lantern riddle king in Nanshan County, Shen Wenqiu, Shen Gongzi, Shen Juren, otherwise, he would definitely rather give him a lamp than let him guess, and not let him welcome away the lamp king of his stall tonight.

Regarding the title of the King of Lantern Riddles, it is Shen Wenqiu who has been involved in the Lantern Festival for more than ten years, and I don't know how many Lantern Kings he personally greeted at the lantern stall, and people gave him a nickname.

Later, the lantern seller saw that Shen Gongzi was avoiding him like a plague god, and he was afraid that he would take away his lamp king.

They were originally glad that Shen Gongzi got married today, but now they must be worth a thousand dollars in the cave room to spend candles and spring supper, but they didn't expect this lantern riddle king to come out so soon to harm them; why do you say that, the lantern king is the most beautiful and attractive lamp, and if someone surrounds the stall, it will attract more people to watch the excitement, which means that the boss himself can sell a few more lanterns and make a few more money; if the lantern king is welcomed away for a long time after the stall is opened, there will not be too many people to patronize, and the business will naturally be a lot colder;

The boss kindly took down the riddle and handed it to Shen Wenqiu, who took the note handed over by the boss and unfolded it: "Adou is smart." The boss saw Shen Wenqiu reading the puzzle he had carefully prepared, and his face was full of smiles, as if he was proud of his wisdom;

However, Shen Wenqiu didn't want the boss to lose too much tonight, so he took out a tael of silver from his body and said, "Thank you boss for the lamp, you have just opened the market, I will cool your business, I'm really embarrassed, this two pieces of silver should be regarded as compensation for you!"

The boss asked incredulously, "Childe guessed it?" This is a puzzle that I got under the guidance of a knowledgeable gentleman, and it has not appeared at the Lantern Festival in recent years.

Shen Wenqiu smiled: "Isn't the mystery a Zen machine?"

The boss listened to Shen Wenqiu's answer, smiled helplessly and took off the lamp and handed it to Du Xueshi, took a tael of silver from Shen Wenqiu's hand, and praised: "Childe, you are very smart, admire, admire." ”

Twilight Xueshi got the light, her heart was full of joy, she took Shen Wenqiu's arm and praised, "Brother Shen, you are so smart. Shen Wenqiu touched her head dotingly, and said with a smile: "As long as my family Xue Shi likes it, even if it is a star in the sky, Brother Shen will take it off for you." ”

Twilight Xue Shi is not stupid, she naturally knows that the stars in the sky can't be picked, and said sweetly: "Xue Shi doesn't want Brother Shen to pick the stars." Shen Wenqiu didn't expect Twilight Snow to be so considerate, and he couldn't help but like it tightly in his heart;

After Du Xueshi finished speaking, she avoided Shen Wenqiu a little shyly, and ran towards the crowd with the lamp. Shen Wenqiu didn't follow her, because as soon as he wanted to follow, someone grabbed him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Li Nanxing, he took off his mask and asked, "Brother Nanxing, how do you know it's me?"

Li Nanxing also asked: "I also think it's strange, you don't spend candle nights with your younger brothers and sisters, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, what are you doing here?"

It turned out that after Li Nanxing and the three of them drank the wedding wine, they didn't feel good in their hearts, Shen Wenqiu, who was younger than him, got married first, and he was still a single, so he went out to visit the lantern festival, tried his luck, and wanted to see if he could meet a girl he liked.

Most of the people in Nanshan County who could guess the answer to the mystery so quickly were their brother Shen Wenqiu, and they didn't believe it at first, but they didn't expect it to be.

Shen Wenqiu listened to their explanations, and he ran out with Twilight Snow Poetry, and felt very embarrassed to meet them again;

But the three of them stared at him strangely, thinking that they didn't expect that their elm-headed brother would also have an enlightened day, and it would be such a romantic one;

Twilight Xueshi didn't know that Shen Wenqiu hadn't followed, so she ran around on her own, looking at lanterns, anagrams, and snacks from time to time, "Brother Shen, come and take a look." Twilight Xue Shi shouted happily, but beside her, how could there be any Brother Shen!

The girl panicked all of a sudden, at a loss, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, obviously her eldest brother Shen was following her, how could she turn around and disappear, the girl thought that her eldest brother Shen was only playing with herself, so she tentatively screamed, but no matter how she called, she didn't see Shen Wenqiu come out;

She was completely panicked, tears could not hold back from the corners of her eyes, she thought that her brother Shen didn't want herself, she was out of proportion, stumbling back, she remembered that Brother Shen was wearing the same butterfly mask as herself, she was crying while looking for the person wearing the butterfly mask.

Although she has only known Wenqiu for three months, she has been very happy every day in the past three months, and no one has ever been as good to herself as he is, and his good is difficult to find even in his grandfather, or irreplaceable;

She stepped forward to unmask the people wearing butterfly masks, but she squatted on the ground and cried.

But it was also a coincidence, she just returned to the stall where she had guessed the lantern riddle, the boss was a kind-hearted and kind person, and when she saw her crying, she stepped forward to take a look, only to find that it was the girl who took away her lamp king before, remembering Shen Wenqiu's explanation, and shouted: "Girl, are you looking for the son next to you before." ”

Seeing that it was the original kind boss, Xue Shi wiped her tears, nodded, and the boss said, "That son has explained, if you come back, go to the bridge in front." He will be there waiting for you. After listening to the boss's words, Twilight didn't have time to say thank you, so she threw away the gadgets she had in her hand and ran to the bridge pointed by the boss.

She pushed away the crowded crowd all the way and ran to the covered bridge, but the bridge was empty and there was no one she was looking for, she was lost again, and cried: "Brother Shen, don't you want snow poems?" At this moment, a bunch of fireworks suddenly appeared in the air, and people looked up at the sky, looking at the thousands of purples and thousands of reds, fleeting and continuous fireworks, and couldn't help but say, "It's so beautiful!"

The girl also got up and looked at the beautiful fireworks in the sky, remembered something, and had long forgotten to cry, and when she turned around and saw a person boating on the river, she suddenly laughed and muttered to herself: "The crowd has been looking for him a thousand times, and when I look back, the man is in the lamplight," but tears flowed down the corners of her beautiful eyes;

The young man got off the boat, got on the covered bridge, stretched out his hand to take him into his arms, and said distressedly: "Silly girl, what are you crying about?" It turned out that the young man was Shen Wenqiu, the girl leaned on his arms, tears flowed down, and asked vaguely: "Brother Shen, it turns out that this is the people looking for him thousands of times, Mu Ran looked back, but was that person in the dim light? It's not fun at all." ”

Shen Wenqiu didn't expect his well-planned romance to get such a comment, and said distressedly: "We don't like Xueshi, we won't play in the future." ”

The girl wiped away her tears, looked at the fireworks in full bloom in the sky and said, "Xue Shi doesn't like it, what Xue Shi doesn't like is the feeling of being lost and regained." Shen Wenqiu looked at her red and swollen eyes from crying, and said distressedly: "Brother Shen, I will never make such a joke with Xue Shi again in the future, Brother Shen promised." ”

The girl got Shen Wenqiu's assurance, smiled sweetly, looked at the fireworks in the sky, and said, "The night tonight is so beautiful!" Shen Wenqiu didn't answer her, just hugged her quietly, and couldn't help but feel that it felt so good to be in the arms of a beautiful woman!
