Chapter 5 The Lantern Festival is a magical thing
Mange's eyes widened and she patted her head, why didn't she think of it! The restaurant has a wide range of customers, and the news is naturally well-informed. Immediately, with a burst of joy in her heart, the princess finally looked for the blueprints, hoping to live up to the responsibility of her mother country.
Bai Hibiscus looked happy and knew what she was thinking. I complained wildly in my heart, and I really thought she was a prodigal son who came back to find the drawings? Fart! She said the drawings were her business! The reason why I say this is just that when you send the letter, it is easy to say that she is now looking for drawings and has not forgotten the task assigned by her mother country. In this way, she can follow the plan to get out of the shackles and find a way to travel back.
In his thoughts, I don't know when Xiao Er was already full of dishes, and he reached out and took some food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious." ”
The master and servant wiped out a table of dishes in a short time. Leaning on the chair and touching his bulging belly, he said in his heart: "It's really delicious, comparable to a first-class hotel!" ”
At this time, two handsome men wearing brocade robes and jade crowns came in outside the door, and Xiao Er saw that it was a distinguished guest, and immediately hunched his waist and stepped forward, "Two distinguished guests, are you still the same as usual?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Hibiscus was relieved, and it turned out to be a frequent customer of this restaurant. Looking at the two people sitting against the wall, one of them made Bai Hibiscus stunned and felt familiar, but if you look closely, it is just a little similar. The man in the pale blue shirt was reflected in her mind, his speech and demeanor were a little clumsy, and she didn't know why she remembered the appearance of the nerd so deeply, but she just met once. If you say that you like him, it's just that it's interesting to see him, not to say that you like it. Shaking his head and smiling, it may be that she has been too idle lately, and she is cranky, she is with the princess, even if she really likes that nerd, it is impossible to be together. What's more, she only has half a year, and if she can't find a way to travel back in half a year, she can only be her princess and marry into the royal family.
At this time, the two people sitting against the wall were talking about something in a whisper, only to hear one of the men say, "Second brother, I heard that this princess of the South Wind Country came thousands of miles away to make peace, but she didn't choose a good match, and asked her father to give her more time in the main hall, and her father actually gave her half a year, who do you say she would choose?" ”
The man who was called the second brother frowned slightly, "Fifth brother, don't underestimate this harmony, no matter who she chooses, it will add a lot of power to that person, and now that the position of the prince is vacant, my father is afraid that he will take this opportunity to establish the prince." ”
Because the restaurant is too far away and the customers are too noisy, Bai Hibiscus can only hear this, and what else is not very clear. Listening to their words, it must be Mu Junran, the second prince of the Dragon Flame Kingdom, and Mu Junchen, the fifth prince. I sneered in my heart, what two idiots! The discussion of the position of the prince is still being discussed in the restaurant, as if I am afraid that people with intentions will not hear it. Do you still want to be a prince like this? Very foolish!
touched his bulging stomach and burped indecently, and ordered Mange to pay and leave the restaurant. This time she didn't dare to pay, she almost didn't vomit blood last time because of the three hundred taels, and this time she said that she wouldn't pay anything.
Walking on the street, Bai Hibiscus thought that she couldn't go to the restaurant as soon as she found out the news, it would cost a lot of money to go to the restaurant, and she was not a rich man, so she felt distressed when she thought about the silver! She'd have to figure out how to get an ancient news network or something. After thinking about it, Mange tugged at her sleeve and shouted, "Princess, princess, look, it's that scholar!" ”
When I looked up, I saw a man in a pale blue shirt at the door of the pawnshop, looking around, not knowing what he was looking for. Bai Jin frowned slightly when he saw that he was still wearing the pale cyan clothes from last time, why did he still wear this dress? Did she remember that the dress was torn? Are you so poor that you can't even afford a piece of clothing? Just as he wanted to step forward, he realized that he was still wearing men's clothes, and he glanced around and saw that there happened to be a clothing shop nearby and changed into women's clothes before coming out.
The man in pale blue clothes saw Bai Hibiscus's eyes lit up, it was her! I immediately ran over with excitement in my heart, "This young lady, I'm finally waiting for you." ”
Bai Hibiscus was stunned when he saw him panting in a slightly panting tone because of the hurry, "Wait for me??" "What are you waiting for her? Pay back?
The man in the pale cyan shirt immediately blushed when he saw Bai Hibiscus, and said clumsily, "The jade pendant was left to Xiaosheng by Xiaosheng's mother, if it wasn't for the last resort, Xiaosheng wouldn't have sold it, thank you Miss for redeeming the jade pendant for Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng will wait for Miss here every time this hour these days, and pay back Miss Yinta." There is also that, not long ago, the hairpin that fell to the ground because the young lady was in a hurry was picked up by Xiaosheng, and he wanted to return it to the young lady together. As he spoke, he carefully took out a wooden hairpin from his arms, and under the wooden hairpin was a stack of silver tickets.
Hearing this, Bai Hibiscus felt a tight heart, he was waiting for her here every day? Why did he wait for her, just to pay back the money? She said that she couldn't find her wooden hairpin, and it turned out that he had picked it up. Looking at his red face, he reached out to take the silver ticket, but picked up the wooden hairpin and stuck it on his head, and smiled slightly, "This wooden hairpin has been sent to you, thank you for waiting for me here these days." After a pause, he spoke again, "Don't you have any other clothes?" The first time I saw you, the dress seemed to be torn, and you sewed it? ”
Hearing her ask this, the man in the pale cyan shirt had an already red face, and at this time he lowered his head and explained: "No, no, it's just that Xiaosheng's clothes are all the same." And when Hibiscus inserted the hairpin in his hair, an imperceptible smile appeared in his eyes.
After listening to his explanation, Bai Hibiscus really wanted to bite off his tongue! smiled awkwardly, it turned out that his clothes were all the same, and she thought he had no money to buy clothes. Turning around, he was just about to leave, when he heard him hurriedly say, "That, Miss, please stay!" ”
Bai Hibiscus turned his head and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong" I saw him blushing, and he held back for a long time and said: "That, it's the Lantern Festival in a few days, can the young lady go out of the house to enjoy the lanterns together?" ”
"What is the Lantern Festival? Can lanterns still celebrate the festival? He replied almost without thinking. After speaking, seeing him stunned, he immediately coughed dryly, "Cough!" Lantern Festival, good! ”
Back in the house, Bai Hibiscus immediately pulled over Mange and asked, "Mange, the Lantern Festival is a magic thing", don't say, she knows all the festivals, she really doesn't know about the Lantern Festival, and she hasn't heard of it!
Man Ge, who was asked, was also confused, "Princess, the slave doesn't know either, and there is no Lantern Festival in the South Wind Country." ”
I'll go! Bai Hibiscus burst into tears in her heart, why doesn't this maid know anything!
Before you know it, it's the Lantern Festival. On this day, Bai Hibiscus was called by Mange early. Since this little girl figured out the Lantern Festival, she shouted that she must make a lantern by herself. Bai Hibiscus, who was already angry to get up, was slapped by her and yelled: "I want to sleep!" ”
Seeing that there was a palm split, Man Ge turned around and dodged, and pulled Bai Hibiscus's hand and pulled her out. "Princess, today is the Lantern Festival, I want to make lanterns!"
In a daze, I felt that someone was pulling me out, squinting my eyes, "You can do it yourself, I want to sleep." ”
"Did the princess forget to have an appointment today? Isn't the princess going? ”
Hearing this, Bai Hibiscus jumped up, his eyes were wide open, and he suddenly didn't feel sleepy! She forgot that she had told the idiot that she was going to visit the lanterns at night! Catching a glimpse of Mange's treacherous face, he instantly felt that he was being played, and suddenly smiled evilly, "You little girl, do you think that today's lanterns are a little less?" The princess ordered you to make twenty more lanterns, and you are not allowed to visit the lanterns at night until you finish the work! ”
After saying that, he turned around and left. Leaving a devastated Mange behind him and yelling, "Ah!! Princess! The slave knows it's wrong! She thought it would be easy to make lanterns, but she didn't do it well for two hours in the morning, and the princess didn't want her to die! She'd rather run around the whole lap with a sandbag on her back than do hard labor here!
At night, the streets are bustling with people selling lanterns from vendors all around, and when you look up, you can see Kong Ming lanterns covering the sky like stars. The light of the lanterns lit up the street as if it were daytime.
Bai Hibiscus looked at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, and her eyes showed sadness. Mom, Dad, and sister, how are you? I miss you so much!
The man in light blue clothes on the side looked at her beautiful side face, and saw the sadness in her eyes, and his heart tightened, as if he was being pinched tightly, making him a little breathless. He didn't like the way she looked.
At this time, a little girl with two cupola buns pulled the corners of Bai Hibiscus's clothes in a childish voice and called, "Sister, buy a lantern." ”
Bai Hibiscus, who came back to her senses, glanced at the little girl, and saw that her big round little face was very cute, so she couldn't help but reach out and pinch her round little face, and smiled gently, "Okay, then sister, I'll buy two." ”
Reaching out and handing the little girl a broken silver tael, he took the lantern and handed one of them to the man next to him. When I came to the river, I saw many couples putting lanterns, and Bai Hibiscus put the written note in, lit the lantern and put it in the water and let it float into the distance. In fact, the Lantern Festival of this era is like the Chinese Lantern Festival, but you don't eat the Lantern Festival. There were more and more people around, and Mange didn't know where to go. After putting out the lanterns, I walked on the street and caught a glimpse of a lantern that looked like a wild duck on a small stall, stepped forward to pick up the lantern and looked at it, and said in an astonishing tone: "This wild duck lantern is so strange, why are there two stuck together?" ”
After speaking, I heard the old man who sold lanterns laughing. Bai Hibiscus was about to lose his breath when he saw him laughing, and turned his head to look at the man in pale blue clothes in confusion. Meaning to say, I just said a word, what is he laughing at?
Seeing her puzzled appearance, the man smiled in his eyes, knocked her forehead, and said with some imperceptible pampering, "That's a mandarin duck!" ”
At this time, Bai Hibiscus was busy looking at the lanterns, and she didn't notice that the tone in which he spoke to her was no longer shy. "What? Mandarin duck! "How she looks like a mallard.
Seeing her surprise, the old man smiled and said, "This young lady must be deep in the boudoir and has never seen a mandarin duck, right?" ”
"I ......," Bai Hibiscus was speechless for a moment. Seriously, she really hasn't seen a mandarin duck before! Catching a glimpse of the man who was holding back his laughter and almost holding back his internal injuries, he glared at him, "Idiot, what are you laughing at!" ”
