Chapter Eighty-Four: The Lantern Festival
The lantern festival is very lively, mostly teenagers and girls walking together. There is a rare day in the year when the girls who have lived in the boudoir for a long time are very happy, and they feel new when they see everything, and they get together to chatter, or they blushed when they see which family's sons and daughters are good-looking.
Qiu Zhi was holding Chunting in one hand and a lantern in the other, and wanted to point out anything new to Chunting, but he didn't have any extra hands, so he could only stretch his chin and desperately signal to Chunting.
Chunting looked over there, it was a stall guessing lantern riddles, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "Grandma, you can let me go, I can't recognize all the words, how can I help you guess the lantern riddles!" ”
There were too many people around, and the voices were noisy, Qiu Zhi couldn't hear what Chunting was saying at all, and could only see Chunting's mouth opening and closing, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "What did you say?" I can't hear clearly! Let's go guess the lantern riddle, I see that there is a lamp on the stall, which is very beautiful! ”
Without waiting for Chunting to respond, Qiuzhi dragged her towards the stall. There were a lot of people around the front of the stall, and Qiu Zhi took Chunting to squeeze around and finally squeezed to the front. Qiu Zhi was full of interest, pointed to the lamp hanging on it and asked the stall owner, "How do you sell that?" ”
The stall owner was a kind old man, and when he heard Qiu Zhi's question, he replied with a smile: "A lantern riddle is two cents, and a lantern riddle is two cents, and the lamp only needs the girl to be right for ten lantern riddles." ”
Qiu Zhi happily took out the money, but he was deflated when he opened the note of the first lantern riddle.
I don't understand it at all......
Chunting watched the joke from the sidelines, and thought that Qiu Zhi's depressed appearance was very funny. Who knew that Qiu Zhi clapped his hands, "I remember that Sister Xia Yun and Sister Winter Cocoon went to the wonton stall over there, Sister Xia Yun is so talented, this lantern riddle will definitely not be difficult for her." ”
Chunting had a bad premonition in her heart, and sure enough, the next moment Qiu Zhi tugged on her sleeve and begged: "Okay Chunting, you are the best, can you help me find Sister Xia Yun?" You see I've paid all the money, I don't guess what a pity, you can help me. ”
Qiu Zhi looked at Chun Ting pitifully, Chun Ting couldn't stand her appearance the most, so she had to nod and respond, "I'll go to Sister Xia Yun, don't you go around, just wait here for us to come back." ”
Hearing Chunting say this, Qiu Zhi immediately smiled, "I knew you were the best, I just waited here obediently, and I didn't go anywhere!" ”
Saying that, Qiu Zhi let go of Chun Ting's hand, Chun Ting was helpless, and finally squeezed out of the crowd, but fortunately, she was petite and flexible, and after a while, she squeezed into the small wonton stall that Qiu Zhi said.
Looking up, I really saw Xia Yun and Winter Cocoon sitting next to a small round table, one holding a bowl of hot soup wontons, laughing there.
Seeing Chunting coming, Winter Cocoon smiled and beckoned to her, and when Chunting walked in, he asked, "You're not with Qiuzhi, why are you the only one coming?" ”
Chun Ting told the two of them about guessing the lantern riddle, and even Xia Yun laughed, "In this case, I'll just go with you, lest the twenty copper plates of our Qiuzhi girl be wasted!" ”
The two stalls are not far away, but when Chunting came, it was with the flow of people, and when he went back, he had to go back against the flow of people. The two little girls, Chun Ting and Xia Yun, had a hard time walking, and one of them was accidentally dispersed by the flow of people.
Chun Ting watched Xia Yun being squeezed to the other side of the road, and wanted to call Xia Yun, but the little girl's voice was drowned out at once, and in a few blinks of an eye, Chun Ting couldn't see where Xia Yun was.
Thinking that he had already told Xia Yun where the lantern riddle guessing stall was, even if he got lost for a while now, it didn't matter much, as long as he went to the stall where the lantern riddle guessing was gathered at that time, Chun Ting put his mind at ease and walked forward with the crowded flow of people.
Finally getting out, Chunting stood firm against a tree and gasped for a few breaths. Looking around, I saw the river behind me, and there were girls with river lanterns by the river. Chunting walked forward, but saw a pair of men and women behaving intimately not far away, and couldn't help blushing and turning their heads.
This person is like this, he doesn't know how to stand in the middle of nowhere and hide......
Chunting is a good girl, and the good girl with a red face moves away in small steps, trying to stay away from the two of them, thinking that when the flow of people is not so crowded, she will go to find Qiuzhi and them.
There are river lanterns floating on the river, and the candles in the river lanterns reflect the sparkling waves on the river surface, which is very beautiful. Chunting looked fascinated and felt a little regretful, why didn't he buy a river lantern on the way here, if he did, he wouldn't have to envy others like now, but it was just a few pennies......
A hand suddenly stretched out in front of him, holding a small and delicate river lantern in his hand, Chun Ting was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up, but saw that the graceful young man was looking at her with a smile, and seeing that she did not react, he also handed the river lantern in his hand closer.
Chun Ting opened her mouth slightly, feeling that her brain couldn't react, or maybe she was dizzy and hallucinating because of the noisy noise.
Otherwise, why would she have seen Luo Yu?!
Luo Yu seemed to be pleased by Chunting's stunned appearance, and reached out to rub her head, "I don't want to put the river lantern, why don't you take it?" ”
Chunting covered her kneaded hair, her eyes widened. Now is it time to talk about the river lanterns? Shouldn't you be concerned about the little marquis of the Luo family, why didn't he stay honestly in Shaoling for the festival, but went to Huaiyang to visit the Lantern Festival?
Little Marquis...... Chunting suddenly sobered up and curtsied, "Chunting has seen the little marquis." ”
Luo Yu was not annoyed at all, and played with the river lantern in his hand, "It's not that I've seen it, it's not just that I've seen it, we ...... shared the same bed."
The last four words Luo Yusheng swallowed, forget it, what should I do if I really annoyed this girl when I ran away in a fit of anger, but it was not easy for him to find someone.
"What's the matter with the little marquis? If nothing happens, the slave and maid will leave. Chun Ting lowered his head and said respectfully.
How is it okay? He took a lot of effort to hide from his mother and ran to Huaiyang just to see her, and let her slip away without doing anything, how could it be?
"Naturally, something's going on." Luo Yu hooked his lips and smiled, "I want to put the river lantern, you accompany me." ”
Qingzhu stood not far away and looked at the girls who were rowing river lanterns by the river, and swallowed his saliva, his grandfather's preferences are really unique......
Chunting bit her lip, a little reluctant to come down. Luo Yu naturally saw her reluctance, grabbed Chunting's hand, and pulled her towards the river.
The hand was suddenly held by Luo Yu, and Chunting was almost about to scream, she had never done such an intimate act with a person of the opposite sex, that is, when she was forced to sleep in the same bed with Luo Yu, there was a distance of one zhang between the two.
Luo Yu was in a very good mood, the little girl's hand was small and soft, and it felt great to hold it in the palm of her hand. It's just that I don't know if it's because I've been standing outside for a long time, and Chunting's hands are a little cold. Luo Yu frowned, that is, the south is not as cold as the winter in the north, but the cold in the south is gloomy and cold, why doesn't this girl go out with a hand stove, no matter how bad it is, she has to bring a hand to cover it.
Thinking of this, Luo Yu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, why didn't he think about bringing a hand stove out, he didn't even have a maid by his side on weekdays, how fine could a few gentlemen get mixed together, but he forgot that Chunting was a little girl to take care of carefully.
Luo Yu found a secluded place and stopped, and handed the river lantern in his hand to Chunting. Chunting was originally so reluctant, but now it has disappeared in front of the river lantern, happily holding the river lantern to the river and squatting, carefully putting the delicate lotus lantern into the water, and making a wish with his hands together.
is obviously a little girl who has not grown up yet, and she still wants to pretend to be calm. Luo Yu's eyes were full of smiles, and he squatted beside Chunting, "What wish did you make?" ”
Chun Ting blinked, with the coquettishness unique to a little girl, "I can't tell you, it won't work if I say it." ”
"I bought this river lantern, so naturally I have a share, you tell me, it's still spiritual." Luo Yumian said nonsense without changing his color.
Chun Ting looked at him incredulously, why is this person so faceless and skinless?
Luo Yu was amused by her reaction, and suddenly it seemed to be back to the time when they hadn't returned to Huaiyang, when the little girl was as smart as she is now, and a smile could directly crash into his heart.
When Luo Yu wanted to see Chunting, she was so agile and energetic, instead of being imprisoned by the rigid rules. Luo Yu asked Qingzhu what would happen to a big girl like Chunting in the end, and Qingzhu told her that people like Chunting and an enlightened master like Bai Huanru would choose a face-saving housekeeper to marry when she was old, and then continue to be a housekeeper by Bai Huanru's side.
As soon as he thought that Chunting would marry a steward, a man he didn't know, and have to have children and children for this man, Luo Yu felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Chunting must stand by his side, as his wife, and only Chunting can stand by his side.
Qingzhu said that the girl's family is delicate, some words must be said face-to-face, and some things must be handed over to her to count. So Luo Yu came, he came to see Chunting, he wanted to tell her in person that he was happy with her once, he wanted her to be his wife, not a concubine, but to stand by his side in a dignified manner.
Luo Yu took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and opened it in front of Chun Ting, inside was a pair of earrings, each of which had a southern pearl on it, and the southern pearl was a lily of the valley carved by a gentleman's wood, covering half of the southern pearl, and the style was not found in any jewelry shop.
"I know that I offended you that day, and I shouldn't have asked someone to take the liberty of sending that hosta to you, so today I am here to make amends." Luo Yu's voice was soft, but Chunting heard it clearly, "This is what I did, it doesn't look very good, but I think compared to that hosta, this should be what I really want to give you." Chunting, I know you have concerns in your heart, but as long as you are willing to nod, no matter how many people hinder you, I will solve it. ”
"Chunting, I like you."
