Chapter 142: Wishing Lamp
Unconsciously, several of them had been strolling around Yun Shangzhu's street market until nightfall, and the night looked a little romantic in this bustling street market.
There are more people in the market than during the day, and it is more lively. I found a shop to sit down and eat.
"Su Mu, why do you say that this market is more lively at night than during the day?" said Shi Yingjun as he looked at Han Su Mu, and then looked at the vendors selling various small lanterns in the market.
"It's a street market with people during the day and at night, and the shops are usually open until the third watch, but some of them are open until the morning. Han Sumu said as he drank the soup.
"Wow, this is the busiest street market I've ever seen, I didn't expect there to be such a place. "Shi Ziying has lived for so long, and she hasn't gone far too far, and the street markets near her home are usually closed after dinner.
"I originally went to the late past, thinking that the street market in the late past was the most lively and romantic, but then I went to the Hopeless City, only to find that the Hopeless City was more lively than the late past, and now I came to Yunzhongming, only to know what is lively, what is romantic, what is prosperous. Quartz Jun sighed and said, thinking about the late past and Hopeless City that he had traveled all the way, and now he was in the clouds.
"It's the first time I've seen such a bustling market. Butterfly said.
"I almost forgot to tell you, later, I'll take you to see the wishing lanterns by the sea. Han Sumu said with a smile.
"Su Mu, what is the wishing lamp?" Ru Qing and Ru Si had never heard of what a wishing lamp was since they were children, so they asked curiously.
"After eating in a while, I'll take you to buy, there are several kinds of wishing lanterns, let's go buy those small wishing lanterns, go to the beach, make a wish for these wishing lanterns, and then put them in the sea. Han Sumu said in detail.
"Okay, okay. Shi Ziying said happily, discovering something new and interesting, which made Shi Ziying even more happy and yearning.
"Imagine it, it's beautiful. Ruth was intoxicated by her own imagination, and Ruth thought of the small wishing lamps floating on the sea.
"I wanted to tell you a few days ago that these seven days are the Wishing Festival, and many people will come to the beach to put wishing lanterns. Han Sumu suddenly remembered the days when he used to live in the clouds, and every year when this wishing festival came, he would go to the beach to put the wishing lanterns.
After eating, Han Sumu led everyone to Yun Shangzhu's street market, where the gentle moonlight was scattered and the vendors were holding various wishing lamps and shouting.
The colorful wishing lights look even more beautiful under the light of the moon. Shi Ziying ran over, picked up a pink wishing lamp, and turned to look at Quartz Jun.
"Cousin, look, is this good-looking?" Shi Ziying looked at Quartz happily.
"Well, it's beautiful. Quartz Jun also felt that this wishing lamp was particularly compatible with Shi Ziying's pink peony flower gown.
"Boss, how much is this?" Shi Ziying asked impatiently.
"Girl, this one or two pieces of silver. The boss said politely, his smile mild in the light of the candles on the lamp.
"That's what I'm going to do. It's so beautiful. Shi Ziying took out a tael of silver and gave it to the vendor, holding the wishing lamp and smiling happily.
"There are still a lot of people selling this wishing lantern in front of you, let's go over and have a look. Ruth saw that there were also lamps not far away, and she went up, and the others followed.
"I want this. Ruth and Ru Qing also picked out green and purple wishing lamps that they were satisfied with.
Han Sumu walked to another vendor in front of him and picked out a red wishing lamp to hold in his hand, the four of them had already bought the wishing lamp they had seen, and when they saw that Quartz Jun and Mu Butterfly were still empty-handed, they asked curiously.
"Miss Mu, Brother Shi, why don't you two buy it?" said the careful Ru Qing looked at Shi Yingjun and Mu Butterfly.
"I'll buy it last, I'll buy it when the girl finishes buying it first. Quartz said with a smile.
When the butterfly chooses the wishing lamp, he is actually looking at these wishing lights, which one suits him, but he does not sell the blue wishing lamp, the butterfly has always liked blue from the heart, I don't know why, I love this color when I see blue.
After walking some way, I finally saw the blue wishing lamp, and the butterfly quickened her pace, walked up happily, picked up the royal blue wishing lamp, looked at it, and bought the wishing lamp with great satisfaction.
"Boss, do you have anything else? I want a blue wishing lamp too. Shi Yingjun looked at the wishing lamp placed outside by the vendor, and could not find the blue one, so he asked the shop owner.
"This son, there are relatively few people who buy blue, so we don't sell blue lamps much. The girl must have bought the only blue one. The vendor looked at Quartz Jun and said.
"Cousin, I remember you don't like blue, don't you like purple, why do you suddenly want to buy blue?" Shi Ziying asked curiously.
"Brother Handsome, I'll give you this light, if you like it. Mu Butterfly looked at Quartz Jun, thinking that Quartz Jun also liked this lamp, and wanted to give the blue wishing lamp in his hand to Quartz Jun.
"No, girl. Quartz Jun didn't take the wishing lamp handed over by the butterfly.
"Oh, I see, cousin, you bought the blue wishing lamp because Miss Mu bought it, so you also want to buy the same one as Miss Mu, right?" Shi Ziying, who was straightforward, said Shi Yingjun's heart, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
"Old man, I found a blue light here. The old woman took out a wishing lamp that was the same as the one that Mu Butterfly had bought, and handed it to Quartz Jun.
"Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot, the wishing lamps are all in pairs of each color, I thought there was only one. The vendor patted his forehead, feeling that he was old, and he had forgotten something, and he didn't remember it for a while, although this blue was not easy to sell, but since there was a blue one, it must be two pairs of wishing lights.
"Childe, you are really a good match for this girl. The old woman of the vendor took the silver handed over by Quartz Jun and said with a smile, thinking that Quartz Jun and Mu Butterfly were a couple.
"Hmph, I bought all the wishing lamps you have here, do you think I am a match for this son?" Shi Ziying took out the silver and handed it over, looking at the old woman of the vendor, the old woman of the merchant was instantly stunned by Shi Ziying's question.
"Girl, you already have a wishing lamp in your hand, and you can't buy it anymore, you can only buy one for one person. The old woman of the vendor said as she looked at the pink wishing lamp in Shi Ziying's hand.
"I don't care, I just want to buy it. Shi Ziying pursed her lips, insisting on buying these wishing lights.
"Girl, the wishing lamps of the same color all represent pairs, and they are all selected by couples. If you're buying for someone you like, then buy the one that's exactly the same as the one you have. The old woman said.
Quartz Jun and Mu Butterfly glanced at each other, Mu Butterfly's face showed embarrassment, lowered his head to look at the blue wishing lamp in his hand, did not look at Quartz Jun, Quartz Jun did not expect to buy this blue wishing lamp has such a meaning, originally just wanted to buy the same as Mu Butterfly.
Han Sumu didn't know that Quartz Jun liked butterflies, so he didn't explain the details of this wishing lamp to the two of them.
"Oh well. Shi Ziying had no choice but to break off the idea of buying all the wishing lanterns, turned around and walked back.
"Zi Ying, where are you going?" Shi Yingjun watched Shi Zi Ying walk back.
"Cousin, you stand here and wait for me for a while, and then you'll be right there. Shi Ziying said and walked back.
"I should have bought the same wishing lamp as the one in her hand. The careful Ru Qing saw Shi Ziying's thoughts.
Everyone stood in place and waited for Shi Zi Ying for a while, and after a while, Shi Zi Ying came over with a smile holding two pink wishing lanterns, stood in front of Shi Yingjun, and handed one of them to Shi Yingjun.
"Zi Ying, I just bought one. Shi Yingjun looked at the wishing lamp handed over by Shi Ziying, and didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't reach out to pick up Shi Ziying's lamp.
"I don't care, you must accept this wishing lamp. Shi Ziying handed the pink wishing lamp to Shi Yingjun, but Shi Yingjun didn't take the pink wishing lamp handed over by Shi Ziying.
"Childe, you can take it, this girl went to buy it on purpose. The old woman of the merchant looked at Quartz Jun from the side and said.
"But I've already bought one. Quartz Jun didn't want to take the lamp.
"Take it. Mu Butterfly looked at this embarrassing situation, and also persuaded Shi Yingjun to accept Shi Ziying's wishing lamp, Mu Butterfly didn't want to see Shi Ziying for such a small thing, lonely holding two wishing lights, not to mention that Mu Butterfly had no love for Shi Yingjun, but just regarded Shi Yingjun as an older brother.
Under the persuasion of the butterfly, Quartz Jun reluctantly accepted the pink wishing lamp handed over by Shi Ziying.
