Chapter 244: Meeting the Old Friend
The lamp market is not lively, the street is full of lights, hanging all kinds of lanterns, there are calligraphy, ink painting, paper-cutting clouds, you can't see it.
Lin Nanyi introduced to Chi Wan: "At night, the temples extinguish lanterns, ladies travel, release flowers, play swings, and sing loudly, this is how people celebrate the Lantern Festival." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the thunderous sound of drums in the distance. Knock knock! The sound is very rhythmic, and then I also think of the sound of other musical instruments, pipa, sanxian, zhongruan, qin se, and song, lantern and drum music, and the city is drunk.
Accompanied by people walking and playing, there are gorgeously dressed ladies in the back, they are wearing all blue and pink long skirts, holding goose yellow shawls, and holding a light basket full of flower petals, walking for a while to scatter some petals, very beautiful.
After the ladies, there is a long line of lion dancers behind, one person at the front of the team holds a hydrangea, and several other people wear lion clothes, imitating the appearance of the lion pounce, beating and rolling, and the eyes on the lion's head will blink, so cute.
Ji Wan was fascinated by it, and she was much happier with the active atmosphere. At this moment, Lin Nanyi conjured up a hand-held lantern out of nowhere, which was delicate and beautiful, and Chi Wan couldn't put it down just by looking at it.
"What a beautiful lantern." Seeing Chi Wan so happy, Lin Nanyi also became happy.
After watching the parade, Lin Nanyi then took Chi Wan to the river to put river lanterns, and now they are just drowning by the river, and they see a little river lantern floating on the river like fireflies, drifting with the waves, like the Milky Way flashing in the sky.
"Originally, the river lanterns were put for sacrifice, but now they are mostly used for private serving." Lin Nanyi put an unlit river lantern into Chi Wan's hand, which was pasted with pink wax paper, and glued the four corners of a square wax paper to make a flower-like shape.
The wick of the river lantern is generally made of hemp rope, because such a wick has a long burning time on the one hand, and at the same time, it will not be easily blown out by the wind.
"Remember to make a wish before you let go." Lin Nanyi whispered to Chi Wan, who was about to release the river lantern on the side, Chi Wan nodded, and then thought, what wish should I make?
Want the flavor building to have a prosperous business? But the business of the flavor building is already very good, and it will really be too busy if there are more people; It's too old-fashioned to want to be healthy.
Somehow, the figure of that person suddenly appeared in Chi Wan's mind, she hadn't seen him for a long time, but she missed him very much.
Somehow, Chi Wan carefully leaned over and put the river lantern into the river, then folded her hands and made a wish, silently saying in her heart: "If God is willing to give me this opportunity, I want to see him." ”
Lin Nanyi stood aside and looked at Chi Wan, he felt that no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see enough, just as he was about to step forward and ask Chi Wan what wish he had made, at this time his attendant brought urgent news.
"Young Master Lin, there is an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with internally, please call home immediately."
"What's the matter?" Lin Nanyi frowned, why at this time, "I hope what you tell me is really very important news." ”
The attendant whispered to Lin Nanyi and said, "The informant in the capital has heard the news about the prince and wants to report it to you." ”
It's the prince, Lin Nanyi will always remember this title, it is this title that has forced him to such a point, it is he who wants to put himself to death, and it is he who ruthlessly kills his siblings.
This revenge is not a gentleman, although he is hidden in the countryside, but this does not mean that he will not act, one day he will let the prince have retribution, know what is called the way of heaven and reincarnation, who the sky spares!
Therefore, Lin Nanyi couldn't bear to miss the news about the prince at all, he looked back at the innocent girl who was still watching the river lantern he put down drifting farther and farther away by the river, and he couldn't bear to leave in his heart, he had to leave.
He walked up to Chi Wan, barely pulled a smile, and said to her, "How is it, what wish did you make just now?" ”
Chi Wan smiled and said, "It's not good to say the wish, let's go, where do we go next?" ”
Lin Nanyi subconsciously wanted to resign that information, but as long as he thought of the revenge, he had no choice but to say to Chi Wan: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, and I need to go back to the house immediately, I'm ...... I'm so sorry. ”
Chi Wan waved her hand and said, "It's okay, since it's urgent, let's go back and get busy, don't delay it for a long time." ”
"Thank you." Lin Nanyi was very happy that Chi Wan could be so understanding, he nodded to Chi Wan, and then followed his attendant three steps and two steps to leave quickly.
Seeing that Lin Nanyi was in such a hurry, it was indeed something very urgent. Ji Wan snapped her fingers, and after that, there was only shopping or something, and now that it was getting late, it was better to go back early.
Chi Wan got up and walked in the direction she came, the lanterns now are a little different from when she first came, and there is a small note hanging under each lantern with a line of words written on it, this is the lantern riddle.
Chi Wan randomly picked one of them and looked at it carefully, with the words "One middle bite off most of the cut" and typed a word. This is quite simple, a bite is to remove a vertical in the Chinese character, most of the cut is to cut off the word general, the rest of the part is combined, it becomes the name, the mystery is the name.
Chi Wan saw that the riddle on the back was a name, and she felt a little complacent, how could such a simple riddle stump her.
Chi Wan, who was full of self-confidence, planned to look at another one, and the riddle of this one was "Seven or eight brothers, sitting around a pillar, as soon as they parted, their clothes were torn." "Hit a food, hey, Chi Wan thought about it a little and guessed that this wasn't garlic? Flip it to the back and see that the mystery is indeed garlic.
In this way, Chi Wan was immersed in guessing lantern riddles, she looked at the next row after reading one row, and the difficulty of each row was different, there were some very difficult ones she couldn't guess, and she suddenly realized after reading the answer.
Suddenly, she found that there was a person writing lantern riddles, only to find out that these lantern riddles were all thought of by everyone's talents, and she had to sigh that the people who were these lantern riddles were really thoughtful.
Seeing that the man had finished writing the riddle and left, she hurried to the new riddle curiously, trying to guess the answer.
"The beauty in the water, such as a lotus is not stained, slim and elegant, messing with my heart" to play a person's name. What kind of mystery is this? It's still a person's name. The names of many ancient poets quickly flashed through Ji Wan's mind, but she thought that there were probably some people in her era who were not famous or unborn.
Sure enough, she was very bad at guessing people's names or anything, she simply went around to the back, and saw two words written on it - Chi Wan.
Isn't that your name? Could it be that there are famous people in this era who have the same name and surname as themselves?
Chi Wan was stunned in place, and many conjectures appeared in her mind, could it be that Lin Nanyi was against herself? But usually at this time, he should have jumped out, and he just watched him leave.
Or maybe there is someone with the same name and surname as herself, Chi Wan comforted herself.
However, those who guessed the riddle with him complained over there after seeing the answer to the riddle: "Who is this person, I don't know at all." ”
"This is really a blind lantern riddle, it's really boring."
"I'm afraid it was written by a pervert who has become sick with thoughts, don't worry about it, let's go."
Everyone sighed and left, and Chi Wan realized that the person who wrote the riddle just now must not be simple, he may know himself! Fortunately, not long has passed, and he should not have gone far, Chi Wan's mind quickly flashed the back of the man just now.
The man was eight feet tall, dressed in a light blue brocade gown, with a jade belt around his waist, and holding a folded paper Xichuan fan, on which were painted with delicate landscape ink paintings.
Chi Wan followed her memories and went all the way in the direction he left, her heart was very hot, for some reason she had a very strong premonition, this person must be an old person who knew her, and she couldn't be wrong.
She walked for a long time, and then she saw the man, who was standing in front of a small shop selling bracelets, carefully selecting, and it seemed that he wanted to give it to someone very important, so he would look so carefully.
"Hello." Ji Wan plucked up the courage to step forward, she wanted to know the identity of the other party too much, whether it was the person she thought.
Hearing this familiar voice, the person was also stunned, but now both of them are wearing masks, and they don't know each other's true identities. The other party also replied to Chi Wan very politely: "Hello." ”
Chi Wan saw the beaded bracelet in his hand, it was very good-looking, it was a style that she liked very much, and she sighed that the other party was really very discerning.
"I saw the riddle you came up with just now, the riddle is ......" Chi Wan didn't know what to say for a while, but the other party smiled awkwardly and said, "It's strange, don't you care about that, it's just what I thought casually." ”
"Who is that person named Chi Wan?" Chi Wan plucked up the courage to ask this sentence, her eyes were a little moved, and the other party was also asked by this sudden question.
He didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "As I wrote, she is a very important person to me, and I am here to find her, and I would love to see her again." ”
At this time, Chi Wan simply took off her mask and revealed her true appearance, she said: "I don't know, maybe I am the person you are looking for." ”
The other party was obviously stunned, but then it was a mad doctor, and in Ji Wan's hopeful eyes, he also took off his mask. That's right, he is also the person that Chi Wan wants to see day and night - Xie Yutang.
