Chapter 139: Infatuation
Shangyuan sacrifice to the heavenly officials is the custom of Dading, the government of Dading attaches great importance to this festival, in addition to the general celebration, will also set up a dojo in several streets near Taiping Road, in order to ask for the blessing of the heavenly officials.
For the people, the most special place of the Shangyuan Festival is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. In the four festivals of Dading, there are only lantern festivals in Shangyuan and Mid-Autumn Festival. The difference between the Shangyuan Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival is that almost all the people who go to enjoy the Shangyuan Lantern Festival are young men and women, and most of them have not yet married.
This is a prelude to the flower viewing feast, and every year at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, there will be a few happy stories, which will lead to a few matching matches, which makes the people of Jingzhao talk about it. Not to mention the far, there are the county lord of Changyi and Lu Ju'an nearby, and I heard that it was love at first sight at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
Looking at it this way, it is clear that the people of Jingzhao are very tolerant of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and some bright people will also let young men and women who have been married get together to meet. Food, men and women are the most common things in the world, and they are just enjoying the lanterns on the street, and there is no such strict defense for men and women.
Yes, when Gu Yan appeared in Taiping Road, he was surrounded by Mama Feng, Mama Fu, and Mama Li, as well as maids such as Shui Lu and Yuebai, as well as several powerful nurses, and the lineup was actually very large.
Because the last Mid-Autumn Festival lantern was taken away, Gu Chongan and Fu Shi were not at ease, so they asked these nurses to follow to protect these girls.
In Gu Yan's line, there is only her and Gu Pei and Gu Jun, and the girls in the second room such as Gu Wei and Gu Yu did not go with them, and there is a reason for this. After stopping the carriage near Taiping Road, Gu Wei snorted coldly. took Mama Guo to the other direction, Gu Yu was from the second room, and of course she followed.
Seeing Gu Wei and the others leaving, Gu Jun's tense face softened, and he still couldn't help but snort coldly, because of the matter of the Yan Academy, Gu Jun didn't have the slightest good impression of Lian and Gu Wei, and even this Shangyuan Lantern Festival was unwilling to stay with Gu Wei.
Gu Pei still looked timid, and she didn't even dare to speak, but occasionally showed a smile. It's a rare excitement.
The closer it is to Taiping Road. The more people there are, the more prosperous they see, and it is precisely the realm of "a round of treasure moon as bright as day, and ten thousand golden lotus blooming all over the city". Several girls from the Gu family looked at these lanterns excitedly.
While there is still room to speak. Gu Yan explained: "There are many people in Taiping Dao. Mother Fu and Mama Li want to take care of the two girls, and if they get separated later, they will wait by the carriage of Tianfufang at all times. When the time comes, we will return to the Gu family together. ”
Tin Fook Fang is where the Gu family's carriage is parked, and it is still a long way from Taiping Road. The Gu family parked the carriage there so that it would be convenient to leave. Otherwise, the closer you get, the harder it will be to leave. Every year, the hustle and bustle of the lantern festival is jammed, and the Gu family coachmen have experienced it.
Hearing Gu Yan say this, everyone nodded, especially the maids who followed closely, and subconsciously took a step closer to their girls. There are too many people in Taiping Dao, and it is too normal to be scattered.
Sure enough, not long after they entered Taiping Road, under the crowd of people, several girls of the Gu family were quickly separated, and only Mama Feng was left by Gu Yan's side.
Such a situation is half caused by the crowd, and half is deliberate - Gu Yan and Shen Du made an appointment to meet in Chonghuafang, since they couldn't take Gu Pei and Gu Jun together, even Yuebai and Shui Lu were left by Gu Yan in case they coped. - By Gu Yan's side, it is enough to have a windy grandmother.
"Mama, it's hard for you, let's go." Gu Yan said this, and walked towards Chonghuafang, the place she had made an appointment with Shen Du was in the middle of Chonghuafang, where there were several alleys, and there were also lanterns, but it was much quieter.
Contrary to Gu Yan's expectations, there are few people here in Chonghuafang, and everyone must be afraid of the crowding of Taiping Road, so they all chose a place with fewer people.
Along the way, all kinds of lanterns reflect each other, and under the illumination of the bright moon, it is even more prosperous, as if walking on the heavenly palace, which makes people fascinated and sigh. It was in such a prosperous and bright light that Gu Yan saw Shen Du standing under the lantern.
He was slender and straight, originally just quietly looking at Gu Yan's direction, as soon as he saw Gu Yan in early summer, he unconsciously smiled, his eyes immediately burned like fire, staring at Gu Yan for a moment, waiting for her to approach step by step.
Every time he took a step closer to Shen Du, Gu Yan felt that his heartbeat was speeding up again, and the blush on his cheeks gradually deepened, but his footsteps did not stop, pressing a gentle but resolute frequency, and then stood in front of Shen Du.
"I'm coming." Gu Yan smiled and said so. She blushed shyly, but her eyes were like a pool of clear water, looking at Shen Du softly.
"I'm so glad you're here." Shen Du couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to caress Gu Yan's moist face to show his joy, but he was not too embarrassed, so he drooped down.
When Mama Feng beside them saw this scene, she couldn't help but squint her eyes and felt very happy about it. In her opinion, these two people are the most suitable together, and they can't find a better match except for each other.
These two people are like fish in water together, Young Master Shen has such a past, and he doesn't need an ordinary girl; And the girl has a unique personality and extraordinary talent, only Young Master Shen can understand, tolerate and respect.
Mama Feng thought of this, thinking of this pair of lovers, how could she not be unhappy?
On the other side, Ru Nian took out a mask and handed it to Shen Du, but said to Gu Yan: "Girl, please put it on, this is what the master has prepared a long time ago." There are a lot of people here in Chonghuafang, so it's safer. ”
Gu Yan took a look, this mask is the style of a white-faced hairpin flower beauty, this is the most common mask on the Shangyuan Lantern Yuan, there is nothing special, many girls in the Taiping Road area wear such masks, one is for fun, the other is to cover up, it is one of the fun of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
"I'll put it on for you. Such...... Be safe. Shen Du took the mask of Ru Nian and said so, he really wanted to put on this mask for Gu Yan personally, although it temporarily covered her beauty, it was a way to protect.
Gu Yan nodded lightly, his face turned even redder, and his eyes became brighter, comparable to the light of the lantern.
Shen Du leaned forward, holding the beauty mask in both hands. Brought it close to Gu Yan, and then adjusted its lacing, and couldn't help but caress the tip of Gu Yan's ear.
The warm and delicate touch passed through Guò's fingers to Shen Du's heart, making him intoxicated. But he quickly turned to the side, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Well, no one will recognize you now." ”
After putting on a mask for Gu Yan, Shen Du walked side by side with her, admiring the lanterns in Chonghuafang, and talking from time to time. In fact, they are all trivial words, such as "this lantern is really beautiful" and "it is really beautiful". The two of them were in high spirits.
Sometimes. To be with the right person is to say nothing, and the heart is joyful, because affection flows slowly in it.
Be accompanied by someone you love. Shen Du couldn't help but feel that the lanterns were a little brighter. And then. At the end of Chonghua Fang. He saw the person who was overshadowed by the lanterns, the fairy-like figure, the son of Changyin.
The prince of Changyin did not see Shen Du and Gu Yan. He was bowing his head, talking to the girl in front of him, and his expression was as calm as usual.
The girl was wearing a fiery red skirt, and under the glow of the lanterns, she looked like a ball of work, and it was hot and blazing.
Shen Du thought that the Changyin Gongzi was like himself, and he met with the person he liked during the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, so he didn't want to disturb him, and was about to take Gu Yan to turn around and leave, but he didn't want to see the Changyin Gongzi take a few steps towards them, so he said: "Jizhi, I didn't expect you to come to enjoy the lanterns too, what a coincidence." ”
His voice actually had a sense of helplessness and instant relief, which made Shen Du dispel the idea of leaving, and instead took Gu Yan to Changyin Gongzi.
Immediately, Shen Du knew why the young man of Changyin was like this, and saw that the girl beside him also followed closely, muttering to himself: "I can finally see you, I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time, childe...... I like you, I like you a lot......"
This girl is wearing a mask, just like Gu Yan, with the pattern of a white-faced hairpin beauty. Her face was obscured by a mask, but her obsessive eyes were clearly visible. She only has Changyin Gongzi in her eyes, and there is nothing beside her, so she doesn't care that this is Chonghuafang, where people come and go, and only stubbornly follows Changyin Gongzi to show her love.
Shen Du raised his eyebrows, and looked at the two of them with a good look, as if, Changyin Gongzi touched the peach blossom?
At the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the girl and the person she liked showed her heart, and such things emerged in an endless stream, especially people like Changyin Gongzi, but they were dazzling everywhere, and some people liked it too common. It's just that Shen Du is very strange, how could the son of Changyin come to enjoy the lanterns, and how was he entangled by this girl.
"Girl, I've already said it, I don't know you, I don't think I heard such words, girl, leave quickly." The young man of Changyin stopped, his brows furrowed, and his voice was very helpless.
This girl has been following him since he appeared in Chonghuafang, looking at him with obsessive eyes. In the past, he had seen too many such glances on occasions when he appeared, and he didn't care.
However, the girl rushed up and blocked his way, and kept saying things like "I've finally waited for you" and "It's great that you've appeared."
This girl didn't know that if it hadn't been for the Changyin Gongzi to stop her, she would have been beaten away by the guards in the shadows, and she wouldn't have been able to get close to the Changyin Gongzi at all.
And the reason why the prince of Changyin stopped the guards was very simple, this girl in red felt a little familiar to him, as if he had heard her voice somewhere.
"You don't know me? Yes, yes, I have a mask, you don't know me, you must know me......" The girl was stunned for a moment, as if talking to herself, and then reached out to put down the mask.
She seemed to speak upside down, and her movements were not very neat, as if she was in a trance, which made the Changyin Gongzi feel weird, and there was a trace of inappropriateness.
The girl in red had already taken off her mask at this time, and she was still looking at Changyin Gongzi obsessively, and anyone could feel the admiration on her face.
But Shen Du and Gu Yan were shocked in their hearts, how could it be this person?!
