Chapter 578: Lantern Festival (4)
Sheng'an City has four distinct seasons, the climate in winter is very cold, it will snow, it will freeze, but there is a strange lake in the Yuehua Temple in the east of the city, called Mingjing Lake, not only does it not freeze all year round, and in the winter morning, the weeping willows on the shore of the lake will condense beautiful frost flowers, in the mist that surrounds it, it is like a fairyland, it is a strange beauty that is rare to see in other places!
Cen Xiyan knows that the strange scene is what modern people call rime, and it is a beautiful natural landscape given by magical nature.
Because Mingjing Lake does not freeze in winter, so every year on the night of Shangyuan Festival, Mingjing Lake is the most lively place in Sheng'an City, whether it is the emperor's relatives, high-ranking dignitaries, or ordinary people, they all like to come to Mingjing Lake to put river lanterns on the night of Shangyuan Festival.
After Cen Xiyan's group left Dongshi, they came to Mingjing Lake, and when they arrived at the lake, a person who looked like a guard came over and saluted Mo Junxuan: "Third son, it's all ready." ”
"Hmm." Mo Junxuan nodded, and then smiled at the people around him and said: "I asked people to prepare boats by the lake, presumably a few young ladies are also tired, why don't you get on the boat now to rest, swim in the lake by the way, put lanterns, more than a few of you think?" ”
Mo Junxuan said politely, in fact, his words are basically decisive, and naturally no one will have different opinions.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Mo Junxuan led everyone onto the boat.
The ship was very large, and it was so magnificent that anyone with a discerning eye would know that the owner of the ship must be of a good name.
When everyone got on the boat, Mo Junxuan ordered his subordinates to start the boat, and when the boats next to him saw that the boat was moving, they all made way for the boat.
The ship had already prepared delicious wine and food, as well as the Lantern Festival, which was indispensable for the Shangyuan Festival, Cen Xiyan was not hungry, so he put down the spoon after eating two, sat on the chair, and quietly listened to the singers on the boat playing the piano and singing.
To be honest, although she has traveled to this time and space for ten years, she is still very unaccustomed to the babbling singing that is popular in this era, and she listens to this song for a while, and the upper eyelids and lower eyelids are about to fight.
"What does Miss Cen Liu think of getting off this boat?" Mo Junxuan looked at Cen Xiyan, who was obviously not in a state, and suddenly asked with a smile.
Cen Xiyan was awakened from the chaotic state, blinked his eyes, and quickly replied with two words, "Very good." ”
And then...... And then there was no follow-up.
The corners of Mo Junxuan's mouth twitched, and he was speechless again.
At this time, Mo Junfei couldn't help but snort coldly, and answered, "Is it good?" Ben Gongzi still thinks that this boat is afraid that it will not be able to enter the eyes of Miss Cen Liu. ”
Cen Xiyan didn't understand anything, these two brothers clearly remember what happened on her boat when they first met.
Alas...... Do you want to be so cautious and hold grudges like this......
Cen Xiyan was a little helpless, but his face did not show any emotion, and he pretended to be stupid and said, "How come? This boat is the largest and most luxurious boat made by the people. ”
On the surface, at least, it was definitely the most imposing ship she had ever ridden.
Is she sarcastic? Mo Junfei's expression on his face was a little distorted, angry and speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.
Other people who didn't know the situation, although they all heard the conversation between Cen Xiyan and Mo Junxuan and Mo Junfei's brothers was a little strange, especially Mo Junfei's embarrassed expression at the moment, but they all felt that it was inexplicable.
The corners of Mo Junxuan's mouth twitched for a moment, and when he saw the face of his ninth brother, he felt that his heart was much more balanced.
He was also angry and funny about Cen Xiyan's pretending to be stupid, but he didn't really have to worry about a little woman, so he just mentioned it in passing.
He diverted the topic and said: "There are a lot of river lanterns prepared on this boat, if the young ladies are not strong enough to drink, it is better to go and put the river lanterns first." ”
Jin Fang and several young ladies of the Cen family seemed to be very bored sitting here, and he naturally saw it.
"Okay, that brother, cousin, and a few sons use it lightly, so let's go play first." Jin Fang was the first to laugh.
After that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin, and left his seat.
Although Cen Xihan couldn't get used to Cen Xiyan and them, in front of outsiders, she still had to play the image of a good sister who loved her sisters, so she also pulled Cen Xifen to get up.
Cen Xifen was very reluctant in her heart, but when she received Cen Xihan's eyes, she also compromised awkwardly.
As for Cen Xitong and Cen Xifang, their sense of existence has always been very low, and they follow everyone with the crowd and have never expressed any of their own wishes.
A few girls brought their maids to the bow of the boat, and some people sent many beautiful river lanterns, as well as pen and ink.
The custom of putting river lanterns has its meaning, one is to mourn relatives, and the other is to give good wishes and expectations for the future life.
Therefore, during the Shangyuan Festival, people usually write some words of blessing on the river lantern before putting the river lantern into the water.
The girls took the river lantern, and their faces showed a look of thought, and after a while, they put pen to paper on the river lantern and began to write.
Cen Xiyan also dipped his pen in ink, but paused for a long time, not knowing what to write.
At this time, Cen Xiqin had already written a river lantern, asked his subordinates to help light it, and put it on the surface of the lake.
She turned her head, winked ambiguously at Cen Xiyan, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, what do you want?" Thinking about it for so long? ”
Cen Xiyan grinned at her and said, "Thinking about the seventh sister, you seem to be fat, and your face is getting rounder and rounder." ”
"Really?" Cen Xiqin was startled, quickly reached out and touched his face, and said in disbelief: "Sixth sister, you lied to me, right?" I've got fat there! ”
"yes, liar." Cen Xiyan smiled a little scoundrelly. After thinking about it for a while, he wrote on the river lamp in his hand.
"Sixth sister, you're really getting worse and worse!" Cen Xiqin pouted and said dissatisfied.
Jin Fang laughed "giggled" on the side, and said deliberately: "Actually, I also think that after this year, Qin'er seems to be a little rounder." ”
"You're going to tease me too, looking for a fight!" Cen Xiqin and Jin Fang laughed and played.
Cen Xifen was glaring angrily on the side, because among the several girls present, Cen Xifen was actually the most round and jade, and she always felt that their words were sarcastic about her.
In fact, she really thought about it too much, when Cen Xiyan and Jin Fang said Cen Xiqin, they didn't think of Cen Xifen at all.
The boat was very large, and several girls were putting river lanterns on the bow of the boat, while Mo Junxuan, Cen Hongyi and others were eating and chatting at the stern.
The river lantern floated down from the bow of the boat, and several people in the stern of the boat saw it, because it was very close to their boat, so they all knew that it was the river lantern put by the girls on the boat.
Mo Junfei's eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled evilly, and said in a low voice: "Do you want to see, what did those girls write?" ”
