Chapter 49: The Beginning of the Lantern (1)

The house is located in the depths of an alley, and I don't know whose intention it was, and the location is quite hidden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe lights at night are dim and dim, the green mist is floating and heavy, and in the high blue brick walls of the deep alleys, there are occasional wicker apricot blossoms coming out through the walls, but they are not very real because of the deep twilight. Cen Kexuan turned his face to look at the person beside him, the other party seemed to be aware, and he also turned his head and smiled faintly at her, her face was slightly red, but she was thinking about another thing in her mind: Who could the woman in the room be? He had just arrived in Luoyang, and the others didn't know that they had already met and talked in the house, which must not be an ordinary relationship.

"Bai Gongzi just arrived in Luoyang today, won't he be very busy?" Cen Kexuan looked at him, and suddenly asked slowly. Bai Moyin smiled faintly at her and said, "It's okay." That's a euphemism for being a little busy. However, even so, he was willing to make time to take her out that night, and this heart and concern moved Cen Kexuan a lot. She pondered for a moment, and then said, "You used to come to Luoyang to live temporarily?" ”

Bai Moyin shook his head and said, "Occasionally, not often." Cen Kexuan was a little relieved: "That's it." She paused for a moment, looked at the end of the alley, she was about to go out of the street, the street was full of people, I am afraid it would no longer be easy to talk, she bit her lip, and finally asked what she really wanted to ask: "Who is that girl today, is she Bai Gongzi's sweetheart?" ”

She pretended to ask easily, clenching her palms slightly, inexplicably a little nervous, for fear of hearing an unsatisfactory answer. Bai Moyin suddenly laughed, and replied very calmly: "It's just a friend of Luoyang." ”

Friends, the palace master's "old man", Bai Moyin's "friend", these people know how to use words more than one another. Cen Kexuan was very disapproving, and the look on his face was not very good. Bai Moyin probably saw the displeasure in her eyes, and suddenly said, "If you are interested, I can take you to meet her tomorrow." As he spoke, he gradually stopped, looked at her a little sideways, and seemed to answer her question very seriously.

He was so frank, which surprised Cen Kexuan, and he snorted: "I...... I saw what she did. Bai Moyin smiled: "Aren't you curious. Cen Kexuan said: "I'm just curious...... she paused again and again, and finally whispered: "What is your relationship with her......"

"I've already answered you." Bai Moyin looked into her eyes and said, "Miss Cen doesn't seem to believe me very much. There was a slight coolness in his eyes, as if he was disappointed. Cen Kexuan suddenly became nervous and said, "I don't, I really don't." ”

At this time, the voice of the singer singing in the red hall of the distant restaurant came from the singer, and disappeared in the noisy voices, and the alley seemed more and more peaceful in the faint noise, Bai Moyin looked at her quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "I may have deceived many people, but I have indeed never deceived you." From now on......" he paused and said, "No." ”

Naturally, what he was referring to was not just about that woman, this was really a very informative sentence, especially the first half of the sentence, if it was someone else, or if it was a different time and place, it would definitely be very reminiscent, but Cen Kexuan raised his head in surprise, but only remembered the second half of the sentence. She stared at Bai Moyin in a daze, the first time she looked directly into his eyes so boldly, without shying away.

In his dark eyes, she vaguely saw herself in her seventeenth year, and her heart was as clear as a mirror for a moment—there was a strong admiration and expectation on the reflected immature face. She felt as if she had grown up in an instant, and her love for the person in front of her was so turbulent and real. It was like discovering a shocking secret, and she was surprised, frightened, longing, and apprehensive. His face was ruddy, but he couldn't say a word.

In a trance, Bai Moyin had already taken her hand and whispered: "Let's go, I promised you in Furong Town to take you around." He led her all the way to the hustle and bustle of the crowd. She looked at the two holding hands and nodded slightly. She was just clear about her mind, but at the moment she was embarrassed to speak with a red face, but her eyes were as bright as stars, shining with brilliance, secretly hoping that this road would never end.

On the streets of Luoyang City, the lights are gradually lined up and hung at the street shops on the riverside. At this time, it was just dark, and the streets were very lively, with people coming and going. The sons of brocade clothes and jade faces are in a line of threes and twos, some talk and laugh and shake the folding fan into the restaurant, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra in the building is endless, and the sound of the woman's soft and tactful singing voice is faintly heard. There are beautiful scholars standing on the street, admiring the poems, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings on sale, deep clothes and wide sleeves, polite and polite, quite a bit of the charm of Jiangnan talents, several children carrying various lanterns in the crowd laughing and walking, accompanied by the sound of women or young girls.

Cen Kexuan was a little excited, curiously looking up and looking around, and soon found that there were young girls passing by from time to time, looking at Bai Moyin with a red face, until he turned around after a long time, looking at his figure covering his mouth and smiling, his ruddy cheeks lined with the dim lights, bright and moving. Cen Kexuan thought it was very interesting, and said to Bai Moyin with a smile: "When I first met Bai Gongzi—"

Bai Moyin happened to turn his face when he heard this, there was a faint smile in his eyes, Cen Kexuan suddenly didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, closed his mouth and hurriedly looked away.

"How?" Bai Moyin asked rarely.

Cen Kexuan's face turned red, and he remembered his embarrassed appearance that day, why did he mention it himself? He still didn't know it was him. She avoided answering, her eyes wandered around, and she inadvertently swept to a stall on the side of the street.

"Ahh The old man on the stall looked at her with a smile, like a Maitreya Buddha: "Girl, do you want to buy a wood carving?" ”

Cen Kexuan's eyes swept over the stall, and was attracted by a small puppet in the corner, a girl holding a lotus flower, colored, red face and black hair, combed with a double bun on her head, and the corners of her eyes curved like the moon: "This puppet ......"

The old man had sharp eyes, and when he saw Cen Kexuan looking at the puppet in a daze, he immediately said happily: "The little girl likes this doll?" This is what I just made today, and I was going to bring it back to my granddaughter, and if the girl likes it, I will sell this to you, and I will make another one for my granddaughter. As he spoke, the laugh lines in the corners of his eyes deepened.

Cen Kexuan said: "Can I take a look? The old man nodded, wiped his hands on his sleeve, and then picked up the doll and handed it to her. Cen Kexuan stretched out his hand to take it, his fingers rubbed lightly on the wood, and his expression gradually became a little trance-like.
