Chapter 47: The Treasure Elephant - The Moonlit Night Lights Rise

"Such a scene, I should really take my husband to see it."

Baoxiang country is not big, once not prosperous, after the bottomless pit into the world, here has become one of the important passes, for the high level of knights, here is the only way to go to Wanzi Mountain and Boyue Cave to cultivate, so there are more people coming and going.

Before the Silk Road was opened, the Baoxiang country was surrounded by mountains, forests and wilderness, and all were dangerous places, although there would be caravans coming, but after all, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and it took a lot of time to travel back and forth, so commerce and trade were not developed.

Now that the trade route of the Treasure Elephant Country has been opened, and the knights of the Three Realms can reach this place with the help of flying charms, there are more people coming and going, and the economy will naturally prosper.

"Speaking of which, I'm curious, this treasure elephant country is far away from Chang'an, how did my sister and my son meet?"

"It's a long story, maybe it's a coincidence."

Miss Zhen'er smiled and recalled that when they first met, it was on such a night when the city was full of lights, but it was in Chang'an, Shangyuan.

"Daddy, mother, it's almost time, let's hurry up, the street will be very crowded in the evening."

"Okay, I'll go when I'm done, and I'll change the new clothes I bought for you?"

"It's all been changed."

The siblings straightened their beautiful clothes and ran to their mother's door and kept urging.

Chang'an's Shangyuan, from the afternoon will be lively until midnight, the float performances around the country are dazzling, the winning floats can go all the way to the imperial city along the Vermilion Bird Street, and the lantern is lit when the king performs.

On this day, most people take to the streets to see the float show, but there are also many shops that choose to stay open and go out in the evening when the lanterns are lit. The sister and brother had been at home all day, and they couldn't wait to go to the street.

It is Shangyuan, the lantern is naturally indispensable, the family went out, came to the stall selling lanterns, all kinds of lanterns hung all over the shelves, very beautiful.

The sisters and brothers each chose their favorite lanterns, and Miss Zhen'er chose a goldfish lamp, with bulging eyes, a chubby body, and a big tail, which looked like a real thing at first glance.

Just as he was about to reach for it, the goldfish lamp was taken down by a handsome young man, who was dressed as a foreigner.

"Boss, I want this."

The young man took down the lantern and handed some broken silver to the boss, but the boss did not accept it.

"Childe, I'm really sorry, this lantern has been favored by this girl, please choose another style."

"That'...... I want that lotus lantern. ”

"Okay."

"How much is it?"

"Childe is talking about ......"

"These two lanterns."

"Forty wen."

The young man paid for the lantern, handed the goldfish lantern to Miss Zhen'er, and turned away.

"Childe, please stay."

Miss Zhen'er caught up with the young man and tried to give him the money for the lantern, but he refused.

"It's just a lantern, you don't have to be polite."

"That's not possible, although the lantern is small, but it can't make the son break the bank, if the son refuses to accept the money, then accept the lantern."

"Shangyuan Festival, buying this lantern is just a solar term, one is enough, this goldfish lamp is so exquisitely made, the girl will stay, there is a fateful acquaintance, it should be a meeting gift."

In the flickering lights, the young man smiled softly, and his smile was very warm.

"If that's the case, then you're welcome, thank you son."

"By the way, there's something I want to ask the girl about next."

"Childe, please speak."

"My father and I stayed at the Chang'an Hotel, and at noon I went to the street to watch the float show, and after turning a few streets, I didn't know how to go back, and the tired girl pointed me in the direction."

"It's not difficult to find, you can see the pharmacy after the front door, and the Chang'an Hotel is next to the pharmacy."

"I remember the pharmacy, thank you, girl."

The young man thanked Miss Zhen'er and walked briskly towards the Chang'an Hotel.

"Childe."

"What else is the matter with the girl?"

"It's almost time to put on the lights, isn't Childe going to take a look?"

"I'm going to go, but my father is still waiting for me at the hotel, so I have to go find him first."

"That boy should hurry up, the scene of the lights is very spectacular."

"Yes, thank you, girl."

In the blink of an eye, the young man disappeared into the crowd, and Miss Zhen'er looked at the direction in which the figure had disappeared, a little distracted.

"Girl, what are you looking at?"

"I must be looking at that son."

Miss Zhen'er came back to her senses, and the family was looking at her, smiling meaningfully.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not there."

The time has come, Miss Zhen'er's family came to the square in front of the bell tower, the city is lit up with lanterns, and countless Kong Ming lanterns rise to the sky, looking like a brilliant sea of stars.

The crowds are crowded, and people are waiting for the arrival of Chouzheng, when the biggest lanterns will be lit and the grand show will begin, which is the last carnival of the Chinese New Year.

After a while, Miss Zhen'er saw a lotus lantern, and immediately became happy, and when she looked closely, she saw that the lantern was carrying a lovely little girl, only about six or seven years old.

Didn't he come?

Miss Zhen'er was suddenly a little lost, not knowing whether it was for the person who had not appeared, or for the grand spectacle he had not seen.

After a while, a lotus lantern stopped in front of Miss Zhen'er, and this time, the person carrying the lantern was the young man from Fang Cai.

"See you again."

The young man looked at Miss Zhen'er and smiled softly.

"I thought Childe didn't catch up with the lights."

"It's a grand scene, how can you miss it?"

During the time of waiting for the ugly truth, Miss Zhen'er and the young man had a very good conversation, and the two families became close friends, and often walked around during the New Year's holidays.

Gradually, the two fell in love, and both parents agreed, so the two made a marriage contract and finally tied the knot.

"This may be the person who is destined, sooner or later, he will meet after all."

"yes."

When the story is over, Miss Zhen'er smiles happily, her encounter with her husband is ordinary and simple, but it is the best memory for them, and it will never be forgotten.

"It's getting a little cold, let's go back."

"Hmm."

When the three of them returned home, Miss Zhen'er's husband was sitting around the brazier in the courtyard with several elderly people chatting, and some snacks and nuts were placed next to them.

"Why don't you play a little longer when you're back so early?"

"It's a little cold, the lady and the girl Zhen'er are thinly dressed, and it will be even colder at night, I'm afraid it will catch a cold."

"It's still thoughtful to young man Yu, you guys come into the house and add some clothes, I stewed soup for you, and it should be warmer after drinking."

A group of people chatted all over the world, and before they knew it, it was midnight, and at this time, the small notes shimmered, and new clues appeared.
