Chapter 21: The Chinese New Year's Eve Lantern Festival
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Bicao Mountain Resort has the custom of "lighting lights". The moat that runs through the city is densely packed with all kinds of river lanterns, and the street is also lit up with lanterns because of the lantern display, and occasionally someone will put a Kong Ming lantern and float to the sky with hope.
At this time, it is also a busy time for Green Grass Villa, not only to prepare for all the matters of the New Year, but also to strengthen patrols in the city. There are many people, which is already a headache, and this year it is together with the Hero Conference, and some sects have arrived in the city in advance, which is even more mixed. Liu Yuan arranged patrols and other matters for Mo Siyou and the four of them early in the morning, and they couldn't relax for a whole day.
Purple Kite got up early in the morning, stretched his waist and walked out, just in time to meet Mo Siyou and Bo Yi discussing the details of the patrol.
"Master!" the purple kite shouted, and was about to walk over, when she saw Pin Yan also passing by in a hurry. The villa has also been extremely busy recently, and Purple Kite hasn't seen Pinyan for a few days.
"Girl. Hearing the purple kite call her, Pinyan stopped her hurried footsteps and smiled at her. "Has the girl slept well these days?"
"Hmm. Purple Kite nodded, blinking her eyes. It's a little weird how this girl asked this. "In the past two days, I seem to get used to that pillow, I don't feel so hard, and I am much more comfortable to sleep. ”
"Poof-" Pin Yan laughed as he covered his mouth. Seeing that the purple kite looked at herself puzzled, Pin Yancai explained: "Silly girl, where are you used to this, it was the eldest young master who bought a new pillow and asked me to change it for the girl." The eldest young master said that the girl was not used to it when she first came to the villa, and if the girl needed anything, let me tell him. ”
"Ah, that's ......" Purple Kite was a little surprised, she just mentioned it casually that day, but Liu Qingxuan remembered it. The hospitality etiquette of Green Grass Villa is really thoughtful!
Mo Siyou also heard what Pin Yan had just said, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and called the purple kite to him, and instructed, "Today I will patrol the streets, don't run around yourself." Purple Kite wanted to join him, but Mo Siyou didn't allow it.
"You just take me with you, master!" said Purple Kite, tugging at his arm.
"Obedient. Mo Siyu frowned and looked at her, his eyes inadvertently revealing a hint of doting. Purple Kite was stunned, looking at Mo Siyou without blinking, catching the slightest change in his eyes. Mo Siyou's expression was still cold, but his tone softened a little, and said, "With you by my side, I will be distracted by doing things." When I'm not around, I'll let the falling snow take care of you. ”
"Hmm...... Got it. Purple Kite was spoiled by such a warm tone, as if as long as he spoke like this, no matter what the command was, she would have no resistance. She remembered the fiery breath in her ear that day when she hid behind a bookshelf......
Mo Siyou saw a faint flush on the purple kite's cheeks, like a freshly ripe apple, and couldn't help but rub her hair, and then went out of the villa with Boyi.
The purple kite wandered around a busy room of people, not knowing what to do. Pinyan said that the lanterns at night will be very lively, but how to survive most of the day?
was thinking about it while walking, and suddenly a nasty voice came from behind: "Little beauty~"
You don't need to look at the purple kite to know who it is, so she simply sped up. It's not a good thing to be alone with this guy!, but Yu Guan came up to her with a dead face and blocked her way.
"Little beauty, why are you in a hurry to leave as soon as you see this son?"
Purple Kite glared at him and said, "I can't afford to mess with Yu Dashao, if I'm not careful, Old Master Yu will come to the door to ask for guilt!"
"It turns out that the little beauty still holds a grudge against this. Isn't I in a hurry?Who let that guy surnamed Liu ruin the good things we both did!But now it's okay, we can take our time with anything......" Yu Guan said, stretching his paw towards the back of the purple kite.
Purple Kite understands it, and dares to love this grandson because he knows that Mo Siyou and they are all out, so he is so daring? !
Just as Yu Guan was about to touch the purple kite, a fan "snapped" and knocked on his hand. Yu Guan withdrew his hand painfully, and saw a silver-robed Pian Pian walking behind the purple kite...... Uh, Yu Guan paused, is this male or female?
"Where, where did you come from, what is not a man or a woman, dare to ......" Yu Guan's mouth was automatic, and it took a while to realize that he was speechless. His mouth was open in horror, crumbling at his throat. What's going on? this, this, this......
"Anyone who makes disrespectful remarks to my Snow Boy will be banned for half a day. Falling Snow stepped forward and grabbed the purple kite's shoulders. His smiling eyes glanced at the purple kite, and said, "The one who did it to my stinky girl—" As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Yu Guan flew up and was thrown into the pool next to him with a "poof". Luoxue smiled with satisfaction, "It's good to cool down in the water." ”
After that, the falling snow left with the purple kite in his arms.
"Stinky snow, aren't you afraid of revealing your identity when you run out so blatantly?" After walking out for a while, Purple Kite stopped and asked.
Luo Xue smiled and said, "With my cultivation, ordinary people will not be aware of it. If it weren't for the help of the Ma family's silver bell that day, how could the little girl know the identity of the other person?"
"But, Sister Ma, she's still in the city, what if she catches up again?" Purple Kite shrugged.
"Crow's beak!" said Falling Snow. Immediately, his red lips hooked a small arc, leaned over to the purple kite's ear and said, "Even if you risk a lot of danger, you can't let my stinky girl go to the lantern festival alone!"
The purple kite glared at him and said, "Who is from your family? Don't think that you are secretly begging for a bargain, this girl can't hear it!"
"Huh. Luoxue spread her hands helplessly, "Then do you want to go out with others?" As he spoke, he glanced at the purple kite who lacked interest, pursed his lips, and said as if to himself: "People heard that when the lantern festival is tonight, Yueniang, the pavilion owner of Tianji Pavilion, is going to throw hydrangeas in the attic." Mo Nerd seems to be investigating Tianji Pavilion recently, I wonder if he will go?"
Tianji Pavilion?!
The purple kite was like being struck by thunder, and the "boom" echoed in his mind, and what rolled out one after another was the string of moans and moans of Yueniang, and the fiery and obsessive pictures appeared in front of him one by one......
"Ahh "Let's go!"
The hour was still early, and the purple kite walked around twice in front of the Tianji Pavilion, but did not find anything abnormal, so he had to continue to wait patiently. Then she inadvertently thought of the bronze mirror that kept her eyes open. I thought it was strange at the time, but when Yueniang said that she was the body of Xuanyin, the purple kite almost understood.
She once saw in ancient books that there is a thing called a yin-yang mirror, which can reflect the yin and yang qi on people's bodies, so Yueniang can recognize it just by looking at her a few times.
"What do you think, stinky girl?" Falling Snow tapped her head and looked at her with watery eyes.
"It's nothing!" the purple kite shook her head, diverted her attention, and immediately rushed over when she saw the vendor selling sugar gourds. As a result, before she could speak, the sound of falling snow came.
"Uncle, this is going to be three strings. ”
"Huh?" the purple kite looked at the falling snow in a daze. Could it be that this guy also likes sugar gourds?
Sure enough, Luo Xue was satisfied with the sugar gourd, and then gave a string to the purple kite, and said with a smile: "Good things, of course, everyone should share them together." Hey, you're so much more interesting than that nerd. To let him touch this kind of thing would kill him!"
The purple kite pouted, trying to grab another bunch, but the falling snow held it high and refused to give it. The purple kite chased him for most of the street, and staged a tiger's mouth!
The two of them were tired of running, so they collapsed on the dock to rest.
The dim afterglow of the sky is slowly sinking, and the mottled points of light fall on the surface of the river, gently rippling in the eyes of the purple kite. She opened her arms and closed her eyes to feel the river breeze blowing slowly on her face, although there was a hint of biting coolness, but it was extremely comfortable.
Luoxue looked at her quietly, the side face shrouded in golden light, the fan-like shadow of the black curly eyelashes falling on the lower eyelids, and the condensed light on the pink lips, little by little, like a landscape dyed with light ink dots in an ink painting. Her hair was blown by the wind, and the faint scent of her hair wafted through the air. Luoxue sniffed the faint fragrance, and her eyes gradually blurred, until reality and memories overlapped.
That year, Yiren was picturesque, looking at the riverside, innocent, unstained with dust, and the golden halo was also like this, flowing on the side of her face.
Xian'er ......
Falling Snow choked in her throat and leaned up to drop a kiss on the purple kite's cheek.
"Huh?" the purple kite covered her face and stared at the falling snow with stunned eyes.
Luoxue spread out her hands and said, "There's nothing special, and I don't know what Mo Nerd likes about you!"
"Stinky snow!" the purple kite raised her fist and ran down the street after the falling snow.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the streets were bustling with people. The laughter of the falling snow is clear and dusty, which has attracted the attention of many people. He seemed to be accustomed to the attention of others, so he didn't mind grabbing the purple kite's hand, ran to the riverbank, and said with a bright face: "Stinky girl, come and put the river lantern!"
In the cool river water, large and small river lamps float along the water, and clusters of warm candles illuminate the faces of people on the shore.
"When you put the river lantern, remember to make a wish!" Luoxue handed a lamp to the purple kite.
Purple Kite smiled and said, "Okay." But later, if anyone dares to ask me what I have wished, I will kick him into the river!" Seeing that the falling snow suddenly turned pale, the purple kite "giggled" twice, closed his eyes and meditated, and then lit the river lamp and put it into the river.
If anyone could hear her wishes......
The purple kite looked at the river lantern that was drifting farther and farther away, and her eyes were a little hazy.
At this time, a noisy sound sounded from behind, and the crowd flocked to one direction - Tianji Pavilion!
