Chapter 595: Marquee
Bai Chenghuan suddenly understood, did he think she had taken a fancy to all these lights?
She couldn't laugh or cry, but she couldn't tell how sad she was.
"Don't have so many!"
She turned around and took a lantern from his hand and handed it back to the stall owner: "I don't want so much, let's go ahead and have a look, isn't there a lantern riddle to guess?
On the one hand, the originally happy stall owner didn't look good, and Xiao Shaotang was unwilling to let go:
"But I think you like it a lot! It doesn't matter, you can buy it if you like it, and someone will hold it in front of you!"
"Can't you buy all the lanterns?" Bai Chenghuan glanced at him.
Xiao Shaotang waved his hand arrogantly: "As long as you like it, buy it all!"
Bai Chenghuan couldn't help laughing anymore, her rare smile revealed the true appearance of a sixteen-year-old girl, and the surrounding lights were dazzling:
"What do I want these thousands of lanterns for, I only want what I like, do you think I'm still the fool who hasn't seen a lantern?"
As soon as Xiao Shaotang heard that she had misunderstood, he hurriedly let go:
"I don't mean that, I think you have a good eye, and the lanterns you look at are very good-looking......"
"Okay, I know what you mean! Although I haven't come out to see the lanterns before, but when we parade in the streets on Qixi Festival, those lanterns are also very beautiful, and I have seen them. Although these are exquisite, there are better ones ahead, shall we go guess the word puzzle?"
Bai Chenghuan spoke to him softly like this, Xiao Shaotang's bones were half crispy, and he only felt that the brightness of the fire trees and silver flowers around him was not as good as her, where could he take care of the lantern in his hand?
The stall owner watched helplessly as the woman in front of him returned the lanterns one by one, and in the end only one lotus lantern remained.
Although he was angry, looking at the clothes of these two people, they were either rich or expensive, and he didn't dare to complain, so he could only comfort himself, so he sold one anyway.
Xiao Shaotang held the lotus lantern in one hand and led her to continue walking forward with the other, and Sanxi and Qiuyue followed behind to settle the bill.
After walking out a few steps, Bai Chenghuan quietly smiled with Xiao Shaotang:
"Could it be that when you were in Yuzhou in the past, you didn't go out with other women to visit the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival?
After saying that, he turned his face away angrily and never looked at him again.
The former He Qi, but he was a famous gentleman, and he could say everything like drinking flower wine, and in Bai Chenghuan's heart, he could not be innocent.
Xiao Shaotang suddenly felt a great wrong:
"Aside from going out with my sisters at home, where have I ever been to the lantern festival with others? Have you ever heard of someone I'm entangled with?"
Bai Chenghuan was surprised when he heard him so anxious to confess, but he couldn't help but have a sweet taste in his heart, quietly curled up his fingers, and drew a few circles in the hand that was holding her, only to feel that the sea of lights and fireworks in front of him at this time was dazzling.
Xiao Shaotang felt the itching of his palms, lowered his head to look at the hand held by the two, and caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of her lips, only to know that he was being teased by her, but he couldn't bear to blame her, so he only held her hand tightly and continued to walk forward in the bustling crowd.
The crowd was surging on his side, and the two handsome men and women walked all the way, attracting young men and women passing by to look back frequently, especially men.
Xiao Shaotang couldn't help but protect Bai Chenghuan in his arms again - he suddenly regretted not letting her wear the curtain fence.
Fortunately, one of the two is skilled, the other is infinitely powerful, and Qiu Yue, who went out and brought guards and martial arts, was not worried about encountering any disciples who dared to come forward to talk.
Although passers-by were also a little covetous, they also understood that the two were dressed luxuriously, and the woman had her hair in a high bun.
Xiao Shaotang took Bai Chenghuan very smoothly to find the place to guess the lantern riddles, and looked at the lantern riddles, although it was not easy, but he couldn't jump out of the circle of those blogs and knowledge.
The rule of setting up a stall is to guess a lantern riddle for ten cents, and if you fancy which one you like, you will guess which lantern riddle on it, guess the lantern and take it, and if you can't guess, there will naturally be nothing.
Surrounded by pairs of young men and women, most of them are men guessing, wanting to please the master, occasionally there are women with poems and books come forward to guess riddles, and the lantern riddle stalls on half the street are very lively.
Xiao Shaotang led Bai Chenghuan to stop in front of a stall with extremely elaborate lanterns, and Bai Chenghuan looked at a spinning marquee with a blank look:
"Isn't that a beautiful marquee, and the craftsmanship of the craftsman is so exquisite......
"Do you like it, then let's guess the lantern riddle here!" Xiao Shaotang said with a smile, and Sanxi behind him hurriedly took out the silver to guess the lantern riddle for the master.
Relying on his rich experience in winning lanterns for the cousins of the He family when he was in Yuzhou, Xiao Shaotang solved five lantern riddles in one go, and then stopped and looked at Bai Chenghuan:
"Is five lanterns enough?
The owner of the lantern riddle stall saw that he guessed one after another without panting, and sighed that he was going to lose money, and when he saw him stop, he hurriedly flattered with a smile:
"The son is so literary and knowledgeable, and this young grandmother is really blessed to marry a wishful husband like the son...... Five lanterns are enough, and this lantern is expensive in being delicate and not too much, don't you say that grandma Shao?"
Bai Chenghuan smiled and nodded: "What the boss said is that five is enough." ”
Xiao Shaotang also nodded, took all the five lanterns, picked one for Bai Chenghuan and held it in his hand, and handed over the rest to Sanxi to carry.
Sanxi had a sad face, he was a dignified palace guard, but he became a little guy with a lantern, and after thinking about it, he stuffed two of them into Qiu Yue's hands.
Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan each carried a lantern and continued to walk forward, but Bai Chenghuan glanced back at the boss.
At this time last year, the boss also set up a stall here, and at that time, she also carried one such marquee in her hand.
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year...... It's all gone.
In the noisy crowd of a stall in the distance, there was a pair of hazy eyes looking at the two people holding hands, their eyes as heavy as the ice of the dark night.
Those two seem to be so loving and harmonious.
The two love each other, about the same...... And the lantern of the four beauties in the woman's hand overlapped with the lamp in his memory before.
"Xiao Lang, let's also guess the lantern riddle, okay?"
The woman on the side also saw the two people, but she quietly took the hands of the people around her and said softly.
The emperor turned his head and looked at the woman beside him who looked like he was old, and the loss in his eyes passed quietly.
No matter how hard you try, some things will always be different from before, just like the beauty lamp that was taken away by Bai Chenghuan.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look. ”
Xiao Shaoyun's tone was gentle but a little erratic.
