Volume 1 Affection Chapter 39 Mid-Autumn Night
When Song Moyu heard this, the hands hanging by his side unconsciously twisted into fists, he held back his anger and did not explode, he barely squeezed out a faint smile on his face, and responded gently: "It's just a little girl, it's not worth taking the eldest brother to heart." ”
"Hehe, it's a little girl who is not enough to worry about for the sixth brother, but in the eyes of the brother, she is a big beauty, it is better for the sixth brother to cut his love, send the beauty to the Yicheng Palace, and inform you of the whereabouts of Cong Zhiying for the brother." Song Mohui looked treacherous and cunning, a bunch of bad ideas rose in his heart, and he unscrupulously proposed to Song Moyu in exchange.
"No need, the truth that the sixth brother wants will be found, don't bother the eldest brother, the sixth brother still has something, take the first step." Song Moyu didn't think about it, immediately refused, no longer paid attention to Song Mohui's boring provocation, walked directly to the palace gate, and left the palace.
......
An Yiran obeyed Song Moyu's instructions these days, stayed in the Beijing suburb courtyard, did not go out to make trouble for him, and followed Su Qianli to learn to make ointments and embroidery for female workers in her free time, and learned to cook some simple meals, this day was quiet and peaceful.
After taking a nap that day, An Yiran took Yingyue for a walk in the courtyard, walking around, walking and walking the two walked to the courtyard where Su Qianli lived, and saw her sitting on the edge of the stone platform and concentrating on her work.
The stone platform is covered with bamboo strips and oiled paper, and there are some red candles.
An Yiran was curious, approached Su Qianli, stared at the busy work in her hands, and asked puzzledly, "Sister Ali, what are you doing here?" ”
Su Qianli kept fiddling with the oil paper in her hand, raised her head and glanced at An Yiran happily, and explained with a smile: "I'm making lanterns, isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival coming?" I thought about making some lanterns, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I could go to the river to put lanterns and pray for peace. ”
"Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns? It's a novelty! An Yiran smiled with interest, and curiously stretched out her hand to touch the two lanterns that Su Qianli had made.
"yes, haven't you seen it before? Putting out lanterns on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a tradition in your Nanyue! Su Qianli looked at An Yiran with a smile and asked, she didn't expect that she would be surprised by the novelty of putting flower lanterns.
"I've never seen it, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Xizhou doesn't have these traditions! I have never seen anyone put lanterns by the river, but I have heard from my brother that the Mid-Autumn Festival night in Beijing is the most noisy, with all kinds of lively gatherings and new gadgets. An Yiran thought about it carefully, feeling a little new about these things that she had never seen before.
"When the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, I will take you to see it, I can't enter Beijing at will on weekdays, but on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Royal Highness will still take me to see a lively scene." Su Qianli smiled sweetly.
The happy smile on her face only appeared when Song Moyu was mentioned, and she faintly looked forward to another year's Mid-Autumn Festival in her heart.
"That's great! We'll see! When An Yiran heard this, she was very happy in her heart, and she was the most excited when she thought of having to play.
"Now the top priority is to make the lanterns first, and then bring some to the river to put them, and pray that your mother will be found as soon as possible." Su Qianli said, continuing to get busy with the work in her hands.
"Sister Ali, let me help you, you teach me how to make lanterns." An Yiran was very interested at this time, took the initiative to pick up the bamboo strips and oil paper on the stone platform, learned by hand, and beckoned Yingyue to sit down, and ordered her to help make lanterns.
The three women made beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns with their own expectations, and they also hoped that the Mid-Autumn Festival would come sooner.
Soon, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived as scheduled.
Su Qianli and An Yiran made careful preparations, sat in the carriage with excitement, and entered the meeting place in Beijing with Chang Feng.
The carriage galloped all the way, and soon reached its destination, and when An Yiran got out of the carriage, he saw a lively scene in front of him that he had never seen before.
The streets of Beijing are very lively, there are lights everywhere, a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival night scene, people come and go, everyone is carrying a lantern in their hands, the lamp body flashes a warm yellow candlelight, with the breeze flashing and swaying, the extremely happy picture is extremely presented.
The faces of the people on the street showed pleasant smiles, showing the enthusiasm of the people of Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival night assembly, and the lively participation accompanied this early autumn night.
Not long after An Yiran, Su Qianli and Yingyue got off the carriage, Song Moyu and Lin Shen appeared and joined them.
The three of them greeted Song Moyu in a regular manner, and then several people began to wander around, they walked in front of one lively stall after another, happily participating in the lively gathering on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The six of them came together to form a three-row queue, Song Moyu and Su Qianli walked side by side and naturally walked in the front, An Yiran walked in the middle with Firefly, and Lin Shen and Chang Feng walked at the end to protect them.
An Yiran pulled Yingyue to deliberately keep a distance from Song Moyu and Su Qianli in front of her, and made some space for them to be two.
Hotaru Moon was a little stupid, and she couldn't understand the deep meaning of her own young lady's deliberate distance, so she only felt that her own young lady was walking slower and slower.
She leaned into An Yiran's ear and whispered a reminder: "Miss, the slave maid thinks that we should go faster, so as not to lose His Highness and Miss Su." ”
"It's better to lose it! We can't disturb them. An Yiran didn't care, continued to slow down, looked left and right, and felt the prosperity in the night street.
"But miss, if we get lost, we'll be in trouble." Hotaru was still very uneasy, her eyes fixed on the two people in front of her who were getting farther and farther away from them, feeling that they were about to disappear into the crowd.
"Don't worry, there are Chang Feng and Lin Shen behind, they won't get lost!" An Yiran glanced back at Chang Feng and Lin Shen behind her with peace of mind, and kept comforting the timid and scared Firefly Yue.
"But there are too many of them, what if even they are lost?" Hotaru was still worried.
"Oops! Ah Yue, don't worry! Don't you know your young lady and me? I have witchcraft that is different from ordinary people, even if I get lost with them, I can walk back to the place where I just got off the carriage with my memory, don't worry! An Yiran swore and promised.
Suddenly, when she raised her eyes, she saw a stall around the crowd in front of her who was holding a lantern riddle guessing activity.
"Ah Yue, let's go take a look!" An Yiran excitedly pulled Firefly Moon and walked directly to the lantern riddle stall.
"Huh! Miss, don't! There are so many people. Hotaru persuaded with some reluctance, deeply worried about the safety of her own young lady.
"It's okay, let's go and see." An Yiran insisted on going over, and turned back to Chang Feng and Lin Shen and told him: "You guys follow His Highness first, let's go over there and have a look, and catch up with you later." ”
"Miss An, there are so many people, can you find us later?" Lin Shen also had some concerns, although he really wanted to stop and wait for An Yiran, but his important job tonight was to protect Su Qianli's safety, so he didn't care so much.
"It's okay, even if we can't find it, we'll go back to the place where we just got off the carriage and wait for you." An Yiran said confidently.
"Shen, you can follow His Highness first, and I'll stay with Miss An and them." Chang Feng also wanted to follow An Yiran to see the lantern riddles, so he volunteered.
"Then be careful, meet later." Seeing this, Lin Shen could only obey and catch up with Song Moyu and Su Qianli alone.
In this way, the formation of six people split up in pairs.
An Yiran approached the lantern riddle stall with Chang Feng and Yingyue, squeezed into the crowd, stood in the front row, and admired the people around him enthusiastically guessing the lantern riddles.
"Did the girl guess the lantern riddle?" When the lantern riddle stall owner saw An Yiran, who suddenly crowded into the front row, he immediately walked towards her and asked enthusiastically.
"How do I play this?" An Yiran nodded, and happily responded to this challenge.
"If the girl uncovers the lottery and guesses three of the lantern riddles, she will get a small gift." The stall owner looked at An Yiran expectantly, waiting for her to show her ingenuity.
An Yiran raised her feet and approached the bullet wall lamps, looked at them carefully, carefully read the puzzles hanging under the lanterns, and carefully thought about the riddles.
Although she is a woman, she has some knowledge and has read some books, so she can still cope with lantern riddles a little.
In comparison, the firefly moon and Chang Feng who followed behind them looked dazed, although they were also quite interested in the excitement in front of them, but they still couldn't do such a troublesome thing as guessing lantern riddles, so they could only quietly watch An Yiran show their talents.
She took out a lantern riddle and read it according to the words on the paper: "When you draw, when you write, when you write, you are warm, but not cold."
She thought for a while, and then she had a flash of inspiration, her face was happy, and she guessed with a smile: "This is the day!" The day of time! ”
"Miss Hexi got it right." The stall owner nodded appreciatively, and put away the lantern riddle that An Yiran guessed.
An Yiran found that she had answered correctly, and she was overjoyed, and approached another riddle, and the top of the note read: The left does not come out, the right does not come out, either it does not come out, or it does not come out.
She instantly understood that this lantern riddle was not difficult for her, and she guessed that it was the word "Lin" at once.
Since the first two riddles were guessed, only the last one remained, An Yiran was overjoyed, full of confidence, and felt that the small gift was close at hand.
She decided to increase the difficulty and chose a puzzle with multiple words, which read: Mandarin ducks are playing in the water, butterflies are in love with flowers; I have thousands of tenderness, who can I be with in this life; Red beans were originally acacia, and they were planted in my heart in my previous life; Waiting for the fate to meet, enjoy spring, summer and autumn and winter.
After the election, An Yiran was stunned, after all, as a woman, her knowledge is still limited, but now she can't change the topic.
"Girl, only this last riddle is left, if you can't guess it accurately, the gift will be gone." Seeing that An Yiran had been thinking for a long time, the stall owner didn't come up with an answer, so he kindly reminded him on the side.
"It's... Let me think about it..."An Yiran's face was embarrassed, she was unwilling, she didn't want to miss the small gift she was about to get, but this puzzle was really difficult for her.
She looked at Hotaru and Changfeng as if asking for help, only to both shrug their shoulders at her at the same time, indicating that there was nothing they could do.
"The answer to this puzzle is a long-term relationship." Just when she was worried, a warm male voice sounded behind her.
An Yiran turned her head in surprise to look around, and found that the son who suddenly appeared behind her was Song Mohan, who she hadn't seen for a few days and was missing.
