Chapter 34 Lanterns
At this time, West Street can be described as full of people, shoulder to shoulder. The wide, straight streets are lined with all kinds of colorful lanterns.
Some lanterns are shaped like flying dragons swinging tails, some are shaped like lotus flowers in full bloom, and some are like big ships sailing and fairies descending to earth. However, the work of these lanterns is very delicate, and the materials are made of the finest materials, which can be described as exquisite, lifelike, and like the real thing.
Under the bright lights, all the lanterns are emitting a brilliant color, giving people a feeling of beauty, and the people of Dasui on the street are celebrating the festival, making the West Street a sea of joy, and everyone is immersed in the joy of the Lantern Festival.
Many, many young men and women, holding hands and carrying colorful lanterns, walked quickly down the street laughing. Sometimes they stand in front of a lantern vendor to admire the lanterns, and sometimes they stand in front of a shop, commenting on the large lanterns hanging at the door. Laughter and talk followed.
Today's Great Sui Dynasty is still extremely popular, and the defense of etiquette and religion is far less conservative and stubborn than the Song, Ming, Qing and other dynasties in later generations.
Yu Wenming and his eldest grandson Wujian are in a shop that sells jewelry, picking out bracelets. Although the bracelet made of jade is not as valuable as that made of gold and silver, it is also fresh in color and fine in workmanship, and it is not inferior to gold and silver bracelets in terms of exquisite appearance, which is amazing.
Yu Wenming originally wanted to buy a silver bracelet for his mother Xiao Wanjun and sister Yu Qing, but after looking at the purse, he had to give up this plan. Although he had won dozens of copper coins from Chai Shao before, after paying off his debts, there was not much left. In the end, after hesitating for a long time, I had to buy only two green jade bracelets.
But the eldest grandson is different, she is the second lady of the eldest grandson's family, and her father is the Honglu Siqing of the fourth grade, although the family property does not dare to say how much, but the money to buy gold and silver bracelets is not much of a problem. Moreover, today Changsun Sheng was in a good mood again, and gave her a full fifty copper coins, so that she could buy things with confidence. Therefore, she was dazzled by the so many exquisite jewelry in front of her, and she didn't know which one to buy for a while.
"Yuwen Gongzi, which one do you think I should buy?" The eldest grandson Wujian already had several gold hairpins, jade bracelets and earrings in her hands, and she couldn't wait to buy each one, but after calculating the money, it was only enough to buy one.
"This beautiful little girl, the old body will recommend one to you!"
When Yu Wenming was still inspecting, the old woman who sold jewelry had already selected a finely crafted gold hairpin from the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji.
This is a two dragons to win the pearl hairpin, two colorful golden dragons open their teeth and claws, in front of their big mouth is a golden bead, the appearance is lifelike, the shape is unique.
"Good! Auntie, choose this one for the golden hairpin on my head. "The eldest grandson Wujian also likes this double dragon pearl hairpin very much.
"By the way, which bracelet should I choose?" She said with a smile.
"Little sister, I'll help you put it on first. The bracelet can ask your lover brother to help you choose a pair! The old woman who sold jewelry picked up the golden hairpin and helped the eldest grandson put it on.
When the eldest grandson Wujian heard her say this, he blushed and said, "Auntie, don't talk nonsense!" He...... He's just my brother! ”
"Brother? But I heard you call him what Yuwen Gongzi did. Hehe, how can you call your brother a son? The old woman smiled, and then lowered her voice and said in the ear of the eldest grandson: "Little sister, I can see that you must like this little boy, right?" Why don't you buy him a jade lock gold necklace too! In this way, his heart can be locked forever and he will always love you! ”
The eldest grandson's pretty face turned even redder with shame, but she did not refute the old woman's words, because she was indeed in love, and she secretly had feelings for this talented Yuwen Gongzi who saved her father.
At this time, Yu Wenming, who was still concentrating on choosing a bracelet, didn't know it. He looked at seven or eight pairs of bracelets of different colors and varieties, with strange shapes. It's hard in my heart, I feel that this pair is not bad, and that pair seems to be okay, but it's really not easy for him to pick the best and most beautiful pair from them.
After a long time, he finally chose a pair of crystal clear, turquoise bracelets, each with a golden dragon and a jade phoenix engraved on the bracelet.
"Eldest grandson, what do you think of this pair of bracelets? I think it's pretty good! Yu Wenming handed the bracelet to the eldest grandson Wujian Dao.
The eldest grandson Wujian took the bracelet, and he was also very happy in his heart. She pulled Yu Wenming into a corner of the store and whispered: "Young Master Yuwen, don't call me the eldest grandson girl in the future, just like my brother Wuji, call me Wuji!" ”
"Good! Then don't call me any Yuwen Gongzi, and call me Brother Ming like my sister Yuqing, okay? After hearing this, Yu Wenming's eyes flickered, and he smiled and put forward his request.
When the eldest grandson heard this, he looked at the old woman in the store like a thief, and saw that she was looking for a necklace, but he didn't notice his side. Fang hurriedly nodded, but his delicate little face was already blushing to the root of his ears.
At this time, the old woman who sold jewelry had already come over with a beautiful necklace. This necklace is golden, the chain is a little thick, and it feels a little heavy in the hand. And on the necklace, there is a jade lock made of white jade.
On this jade lock is also written the words "Defend and be healthy, and forever unite the heart".
The eldest grandson's eyes were very sharp, and he saw the eight words on it clearly at once, and suddenly his pretty face appeared shy. I couldn't help but bow my head.
Yu Wenming took the jade lock, but did not look at the words on it. I just think that this jade lock necklace has a unique shape and a beautiful style.
"Innocent, do you like this necklace? It feels a little rough! Yu Wenming frowned.
When the old woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Little boy! This is the lock necklace that your sister chose for you. Which one was chosen for herself? ”
As soon as she said this, not only the pretty face of the eldest grandson Wujian turned red with shame, but even Yu Wenming's face turned red. He and Eldest Sun Wujian glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but show shame, and then lowered their heads.
Yu Wenming originally had a good impression of the eldest grandson Wujian, and when he saw the expression of the eldest grandson, he saw that she did not deny that she had bought a lock heart necklace for herself. I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart, and secretly wondered: Does Wujian really like me?
Just when the two of them looked a little stiff, another couple next to them happened to choose jewelry and said that they wanted to settle the bill.
The old woman who sold jewelry hurriedly walked over to settle accounts for them, and Yu Wenming and the eldest grandson Wujian woke up like a dream. Both of them were a little confused at this time, and their originally calm minds were quietly changing.
The eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly selected two more pieces of jewelry, and then urged the old woman to come to the checkout.
Yu Wenming was a little at a loss, he wanted to pay out of his own pocket, but found that there were only a few dozen dollars in his purse. Not to mention the other valuable jewelry that the eldest grandson Wujian bought, he couldn't afford that lock gold necklace alone.
In the end, it was the eldest grandson who paid the bill generously, and then walked out of the shop with him.
"Brother Ming, I'll put the necklace on for you!" Although the eldest grandson Wuji's face was still slightly red, his expression had calmed down a lot.
Yu Wenming didn't know what to say, so he could only subconsciously nod, and then leaned forward slightly, letting the eldest grandson Wujian wear this beautifully crafted necklace around his neck.
He blushed at this time and said, "Innocent, thank you so much!" It's a pity that I'm too poor now, otherwise I would have bought you a ......."
Before the word "necklace" could be spoken, his lips were pressed by a pair of slippery little hands.
"Brother Ming, don't say that! You are the life-saving benefactor of my family, and giving you a necklace is not enough to repay your life-saving grace. Although I am still young, I also know that with your talent, you will be famous all over the world in the future! I only wish you remembered that you had my sister at that time......" The eldest grandson's big black eyes flashed with a gentle light, and he said softly.
Yu Wenming's heart was very moved, he grabbed her little hand tightly, then pressed it to his chest, and said in a firm tone: "Innocent, no matter when, no matter where you are." I won't forget you! ”
"Brother Ming......"
Eldest Sun Wuji's delicate and white hand was grasped tightly by Yu Wenming, and her brother Eldest Sun Wuji had also grabbed her hand before, but she never felt anything.
But now that her hand was grabbed by Yu Wenming, it was the first time that a strange feeling arose in her heart. felt that Brother Ming's hand was so warm and powerful, which she had never experienced.
Her heart was nervous and expectant, but after only a moment, her mood calmed down, her heart was filled with happiness and joy, the little delicate body couldn't help but get close to Yu Wenming, and the two young boys and girls involuntarily hugged each other.
At the door of the store, the old woman selling jewelry looked at them, but her wrinkled face showed a knowing smile. secretly another little couple was born......
On the night of the twentieth day of the first month of the fifth year of the great cause, this night slowly fell with all kinds of lanterns in the eastern capital. Yu Wenming finally gained a foothold in Dasui and began to spread his wings and fly high. And the eldest grandson Wujian is also in love, and his heart has a home.
And this year was the strongest time of the Great Sui Dynasty, except for Yu Wenming, no one would have thought that it had been less than ten years since the world was in turmoil and the Great Sui collapsed.
