Chapter 11: Finding the Lantern
"It's really a white deer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Jiang Qu said enviously, "Changsheng, why are you so lucky, anything good will happen to you." ”
Changsheng touched the wound in the corner of her eye, if the two children could coexist peacefully, she would feel that the word luck was more appropriate.
Although Lu'er and Changsheng only met last night, they liked her very much, "Sister Changsheng is a good person, I want to find a lantern for Lu'er." ”
"I can also find you lanterns, and I'm a good person. Are you hungry, do you want to eat steamed buns? Jiang Qu smiled, not realizing that his tone was a bit similar to that of a child trafficker.
When the hexagram heard the food, he got out of the bed, snatched the food from Jiang Qu's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and didn't give it to Lu'er. Lu'er glared at him, forgetting that he was about the same age as Hexagram Liao, and looked down on his behavior very much, and said, "I don't care about children." ”
"You're a child." Gua Liao jumped up and hugged Changsheng's waist, "Daughter-in-law, you said you wanted to buy me a lantern." ”
Lu'er jumped out of bed and grabbed Changsheng's right sleeve, "Sister said she was going to find me a lantern." ”
Lian Yu only saw Changsheng's sought-after, but didn't see Changsheng being torn apart, "People say that people with good hearts are the easiest for children to like them, and when they see Changsheng's junior sister, they know that this is true." People who don't seem to have it will only be annoying. ”
How could Qian Ruyue not hear Sang scolding Huai, she stepped on Lianyu's feet fiercely, and it hurt so much that Lianyu jumped straight with her feet in her arms.
Gua-Liao and Lu'er have been arguing about who Changsheng should help first, and Changsheng had to appease him at the same time, "I'll go to the street right now, buy a lantern for you for Gua-Liao, and find a lantern for Lu'er." ”
Hexagram Liao pulled Changsheng's left hand, and Lu'er pulled Changsheng's right hand. When the people of Jiang Mansion saw them go out, they wondered why there was another child in the mansion for some reason.
Changsheng didn't eat breakfast and had to go to the street hungry, Hexagram Liao and Lu'er were children's hearts at all, and when they saw the snacks and toys on the street, they had forgotten their original purpose, like a wild horse that had thrown off her hand and went to see the toys.
Changsheng clutched her stomach, and the roundworms in her stomach kept screaming, but she had no choice but to bend down and collect her stomach, thinking that this might make her less hungry.
Sima Luming went to buy two meat buns for her, she took the hot buns, and smirked, "Thank you, junior brother." ”
Jiang Qu's eyes became meaningful, and he saw that Sima Luming was still serious, "Changsheng, you said that Hexagram Liao and Lu'er like you like you so much, did you smear any incense powder to attract those rare and exotic beasts?" Jiang Qu put his arm around Changsheng's shoulders a little lightly, and leaned his nose towards her neck, "Let me smell it." ”
Before Changsheng could react, Sima Luming had already slapped Jiang Qu in the face, preventing him from approaching. Qian Ruyue saw Jiang Qu's intention, stepped forward and pushed him away and said, "What the hell do you want to do!" ”
Jiang Qu spread his hands and said with a smile, "It's nothing." ”
Lianyu walked up to Jiang Qu and stretched out his thick and powerful arm, "Senior brother, I specially used soap horns for bathing last night, and it smells very fragrant." ”
Jiang Qudang didn't hear it behind his ear, and shouted Lu'er's name loudly.
Lu'er grabbed a mask and ran over, but before he could give the boss money, he was so anxious that the boss chased after him. Jiang Qu gave the boss money and asked Lu'er, "What kind of lantern is you?" ”
Lu'er thought for a moment and said, "My lantern is pale yellow. ”
Jiang Qu asked again, "Did you draw any pictures on it?" ”
Lu'er shook her head, "No." ”
There are too few such clues, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, almost every shop, door to door will hang lanterns, pale yellow lanterns, and I don't know how many there are in the imperial capital.
Lian Yu said, "Think about it again, is there anything else special." ”
Qian Ruyue didn't want to look for it, what is the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack. "There are so many lanterns here, it's no wonder that they can be recovered. In my opinion, it would be nice to just buy a pale yellow one and send it over and say that it was the one your mother gave you. ”
Lu'er said, "This is not good, I can't lie to my sister, if she knows that it is fake, she will be sad." ”
Changsheng touched Lu'er's head and praised him for his honesty. Lu'er was shy and remembered, "My lantern is made of daffodil petals in Ao'an Mountain, and it smells very fragrant when it is lit, but my mother said that it can't make mortals smell the fragrance, saying that it can charm mortals." ”
Changsheng thought to himself, this is terrible, if someone picks it up, thinking that it is just an ordinary lantern lit to play, won't something happen.
Sima Lu said, "Let's look for it separately, whether you can find it or not, you can wait here at noon." ”
Everyone separated, but Gua Liao and Bailu were vying to follow Changsheng, and Changsheng had to look for it while taking care of their two naughty children. She fulfilled her promise and bought a lantern for Gua Liao, and then discussed, "Gua Liao, can we help Lu Er find it together?" ”
One more helper, one more hope. Otherwise, with so many lanterns, she is afraid that she will miss or lose her eyes after being dazzled.
Hexagram Liao's attention is on the new lantern, on which a red-eyed jade rabbit is painted vividly, and the next time he goes to Guanghan Palace to play, he must bring it to the jade rabbit to see. "Don't."
Changsheng gently tugged at his pony coat to cover his round belly, and looked at him with adoring eyes, although he didn't know if those eyes looked like or not, "Isn't hexagram Liao a manly husband, and a big husband will help the weak." ”
Hexagram tilted his head, looking embarrassed, he didn't like Bailu and didn't want to help him, but he didn't want to be unhappy about immortality, his mind struggled hard, and in the end he would still coax him to hurt him and give him a better amount of longevity. Hexagram Liao reluctantly asked, "Okay." He looked at Lu'er and emphasized, "I'm here to help my daughter-in-law, not you, a bad boy." ”
Bailu grimaced at him, "You're the bad boy." ”
The hexagram's swarthy eyes rolled, "Grandpa Land knows what happens here every day, let's go ask Grandpa Di, maybe he knows where the lantern was thrown." ”
"That's right." Changsheng knocked on his head, the land lord is in charge of a land, and the big and small things that happen every day in the imperial capital should not escape his eyes, why can't she think of it. "Hexagram Liao is so smart."
Lu'er heard that the method of hexagram burning was also feasible, and said happily, "Then I'll go find the Land Temple." ”
"No, I can call Grandpa Land." After the hexagram was finished, it seemed that he opened his mouth to shout the name of the land.
Changsheng covered his small mouth and stopped, "Find a place where no one is there first." "Although the people on the street can't see the gods, they can see them talking to themselves, and they may think that there is something wrong with their sanity. Changsheng pulled Gua Liao and Bailu into the alley, looking left and right, back and forth, to make sure that there was really no one. Hexagram Liao shouted the name of the land three times in a row.
The land lord did not appear, but summoned the land wife.
The land woman is gray-haired and holds a cane in her hand. Somewhat like the ordinary old woman on the street, but not like it, she is neither hunched over nor deaf and dazzled, but looks very shrewd with a pair of eyes.
Changsheng laughed at himself for being stupid, how could the gods be deaf and dazzled.
The land lady asked, "What's the matter with the Dragon Prince?" ”
Gua Liao felt strange, circled around the land woman, and found that she was really the only one who came out and asked, "What about the land grandfather, I called the land grandfather, why don't you see him?" ”
"A few days ago, the old moon and the rabbit god fought, the dragon lord and the land went to persuade the fight, I thought that one person would hold one, who knew that he was stupid and clumsy, and the fight was not persuaded, but he was punched by the old moon."
Hexagram Liao was angry, Grandpa Di helped him, although Hexagram Liao didn't like to play with the old man, he also felt that he was friends with the land, how could Yue Lao beat his friend, "How can Yue Lao beat him, I asked Grandpa to avenge Grandpa Land." ”
The land woman sighed, the land was beaten, the culprit was the hexagram, but it was not easy for them to deal with children at this age.
"Prince, you forgot, you asked him to pretend to be the old man who was called Lianyu and drank the medicine of the rabbit god, and when the old man knew about this, he went to blame the rabbit god, saying that he could casually give you those improper medicines and say that he was derelict in his duties, so he started without saying a word."
The land is now lying at home to recuperate, and when she thinks of doing so many things every day but she does it alone, the land woman feels tired and tired.
Changsheng was surprised, "Hexagram Liao, you give Senior Brother Lianyu medicine to drink?" What medicine did you drink? Rabbit God? "There are too many immortals in the sky, she can't all name them, she knows that the old moon is in charge of marriage, and the king of Hades is in charge of life and death...... What does the rabbit god do?
Lu'er laughed and said, "The male deer in Ao'an Mountain doesn't want to mate with the doe, but wants to marry the male deer, so go to worship the rabbit god." However, my mother did not allow me to worship, saying that she was expecting me to give birth to a few fawns when I grew up. ”
Changsheng was dumbfounded and stammered, "This...... Rabbit God ......"
The land woman said, "The marriage between your mortal man and woman is matched by the old moon, and the marriage between man and man or woman and woman is the rabbit god to pull the strings." ”
Changsheng finally understood how Lianyu judged the two of them overnight, "Hexagram Liao, how can you go to Lianyu Senior Brother like this." ”
Hexagram Liao was arrogant, "Who told him to rob you with me." He didn't retaliate violently, such as drawing a turtle on Lianyu's face with ink that couldn't be washed off for thousands of years. Or sneak into Lianyu in the middle of the night and shave him with a razor that Maitreya Buddha can break three thousand troubles, so that he will not be able to grow hair in the future.
"Nobody is going to rob me."
"That's what I heard, he said to the coquettish face."
Chang'an had reproach in his eyes, "Jiang Qu usually likes to joke, they just laugh." But you shouldn't be like that anyway. ”
Hexagram Liao kicked the stone under his feet sullenly, "What's the matter, anyway, the rabbit god told me that it would be fine in a few days." ”
The land woman said, "The days in the mortal world are called days, and the days in heaven are also called days, but one day in the sky is a year in the earth, have you asked the rabbit god clearly." ”
Hexagram Liao only remembered that the rabbit god told him that the effect of the medicine could only last a few days, and as for whether it was calculated according to the hours on earth or the hours in heaven, the rabbit god did not tell him. Gua Liao held the lantern, seeing that Changsheng was a little angry, he would also reflect a little, he lowered his head, "Gua Liao doesn't know." ”
Seeing the hexagram burning, the land woman flattened her little mouth and pretended to be aggrieved, which really made people want to teach him a hard lesson, and she couldn't scold him. No wonder the dragon lord treasures this grandson like this. Hearing that the hexagram was in trouble, he maintained it everywhere, and lost two bags of pearl powder to calm the people.
The land woman also has some sympathy for the poor jade, and provokes such a little overlord, "If a man drinks that medicine, he will like the man he sees at first sight after drinking the medicine, even if the sea is dry and rotten, he will not change his mind." ”
Changsheng understood why Lian Yu would say that every time he saw Jiang Qu, he was in a state of confusion, not because Qian Ruyue said that he had dragon impotence, but because of the medicinal power.
And if this medicine is incomprehensible, Lianyu will be obsessed with it like this, if this medicine can really maintain its medicinal power for a few years. It's not alarmist, I'm afraid that Jiang Qu will be the first to go crazy in a few years.
Changsheng asked anxiously, "Is there any way to relieve the power of the medicine?" ”
The land lady said, "Since the old man of my family also has a share in the trouble, I have to deal with the aftermath for him." I've already asked the rabbit god, and you don't have to worry, I'll go and get the medicine tomorrow. ”
Fortunately, the child's nonsense is not a big basket, not like a stumbling eye, it is really a mortal crime, even if the dragon king's son is heartfelt, there is nothing he can do.
Changsheng turned his head to look at Gua Liao, feeling that his nonsense this time was already more than a prank on the mountain, she took Gua Liao's little hand and hit it twice, learning how her father-in-law taught her to distinguish right from wrong and said, "Senior Brother Lianyu didn't offend you, it's not right for you to hurt him for no reason, you have to apologize to him when you go back, you know." ”
Guayao lowered his head, raised his big eyes to look at him, and nodded.
Seeing it in her eyes, the land lady smiled slightly, it is time for the dragon lord to take a look at his naughty grandson, who was taught by mortals to be so docile and obedient, "The prince hasn't said it yet, what are you calling me out for?" ”
Hexagram Liao pointed to Lu'er, "His lantern is gone, have you seen who took it?" ”
Lu'er finally talked about his lantern, and hurriedly described what his lantern looked like, "It's made of narcissus petals, it's so fragrant." ”
"That day I saw you change into your present appearance and play with other children, and the lantern was put aside and then taken away by a wild cat. ”
Changsheng asked, "Wild cat, what kind of?" Black or white, patterned or unpatterned, male or female? ”
The land lady shook her head, "I didn't pay too much attention. ”
After the land is recuperated at home, those believers have to go to the land temple to worship and beg for any trivial things. The sow in the house is about to give birth, and she comes to beg, and the dog next door barks all day long, barking so that people can't sleep, and they also come to beg.
She doesn't care so much.
"It's just that I saw it jump into the courtyard of a family, the merchant surnamed Mao, who sells porcelain." ”
Hair? Is it the house of the lady who gave her the silver that day?
Finally there is a clue.
