"Guys, I wonder what you've come to eye? Here all 20% off, look at this small lantern, buy a few in the lake to put it, this sachet, look at this handmade, how good the show is, look at this hand-carved gesture... When the vendor saw a few people coming, he immediately enthusiastically introduced his own things.

Xia Ziyan looked at the things on this wooden temporary stall car, it was full of things, and there were a lot of them hanging on it, and she was very interested in taking a look at this and that.

The peddler noticed that everyone's attention was on Xia Ziyan, and immediately understood that this was centered on this youngest boy, and immediately said enthusiastically to Xia Ziyan, "Little boy, which ones do you like?" Despite the picking. ”

Xia Ziyan looked at some small lanterns placed on them, probably the design was similar to the prayer lanterns she had found on her computer before, and the blessing lanterns were placed in the ancient lake, and the chassis was waterproof.

"How do you sell this?" Xia Ziyan pointed to one of them and asked.

"Fifty wen a piece, very cheap." The peddler said immediately.

Meng Niang sneered when she heard this, "You still say that it is discounted, this lantern is twice as expensive as usual." ”

The vendor smiled embarrassedly, "Sister, you also know what day it is today, it is already cheaper than the usual festival price." ”

"On an ordinary day, you can buy it for twenty or twenty-five yuan, even if you sell it a little more expensive today, but the price you are saying now is too exaggerated." Meng Niang retorted with a sneer.

Xia Ziyan blinked, but in her heart, she counted it, twenty Wen...

After a review in her heart, Xia Ziyan looked at a string of hand-carved chains, although it was not beautiful, but in the future, the technology of hand-carving has been lost, "How much silver does this cost?" Xia Ziyan interrupted the two and continued to ask.

"Little boy, this... Forget about this fifteen articles. At this time, the vendor didn't dare to make a price indiscriminately, he knew that there was a person in front of him who knew the market better.

Meng Niang snorted coldly.

Xia Ziyan nodded, and then looked at the small lantern hanging there, "What about this." ”

"These thirty-five texts are all about the current price."

"Where's this jade pendant..."

"This jade pendant is twenty-five Wen..."

···

···

"How much silver is this little sachet?"

"I'll give you two for forty wen." Seeing that Xia Ziyan kept asking the price and didn't buy it, the vendor slowly became a little impatient, thinking in his heart if this group of people were peers to inquire about the price.

"Can it be cheaper?" Xia Ziyan asked.

"I'll give you three heads at most, do you want to buy it or not?" The peddler frowned and said helplessly.

Meng Niang also looked at Xia Ziyan, and she had long wondered why she kept asking about the price, but she didn't buy it.

"Meng Niang, you lend me a little silver, and I will pay you back when I have the silver." Xia Ziyan looked at Meng Niang and said embarrassedly.

"How can it, Aunt Xia... Xia Gongzi, here is a hundred taels for you to spend. Meng Niang immediately smiled and said, surprised in her heart, she actually thought that this hundred taels was used by her Meng Niang herself?

"Hehe... The... Forgot. Xia Ziyan was embarrassed, and then said, "He said that forty wen is three, I'll buy a few." Xia Ziyan asked Meng Niang.

"Okay, buy it if you like." Meng Niang said.

"I want these three small sachets and three small lanterns for blessings." Xia Ziyan picked three small sachets, and then picked three small lanterns.

"Alas... Great. When the peddler heard this, his face was immediately not very happy, and his face was full of enthusiasm.

Meng Niang gave him the silver, and the hawker smiled even more happily.

Meng Niang helped put the small lantern in the basket, and several people left the place, all the way, Xia Ziyan looked at a few small sachets in her hand all the way, which were hand-embroidered with flowers, animals and people, Xia Ziyan chose to embroider a small dog, and then, took an embroidered flower to Meng Niang, "Sister Meng, one of us." ”

"Huh? No... No. Meng Niang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied, a little surprised and moved in her heart.

"I don't need that much, this is for you." Xia Ziyan was stunned and stuffed it to Meng Niang, no matter what Meng Niang's expression was, and then looked at Ouyang Linxuan on the other side, and gave him another small sachet embroidered with people, "This is for you." ”

Ouyang Linxuan's steps stopped, obviously his body trembled slightly, and then he tensed his body again, his eyes staring at Xia Ziyan.

It was Xiao Dezi who was one step behind him, and he looked shocked and excited.

However, Xia Ziyan didn't pay attention to Xiao Dezi.

"Na, what are you stunned about, I don't need so much, there is one left." Even though Xia Ziyan found Ouyang Linxuan a little strange, she thought that he was "This sachet is not expensive, do you think... Don't you have good workmanship? She thought, looking at his temperament and dress, he is not like an ordinary person's identity, and it is possible to look down on this thing.

Ouyang Linxuan looked at Xia Ziyan, his eyes looked into her eyes, these eyes were so pure, with doubts, could it be that she didn't know the meaning of giving sachets?

Meng Niang was stunned for a moment and then came back to her senses, and immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Xia, are you in love with someone else's son?" That's a good relationship, it's time for you to get married. ”

Although this boy just said that he was the one who was divorced, I don't know if it was an excuse he found to send those women.

Xia Ziyan was stunned for a moment, her eyes stared at the smiling Meng Niang, opened her mouth, and then slowly looked at Ouyang Linxuan on the other side, with an embarrassed smile on her face, "That, I'm sorry, I'm that..."

Ouyang Linxuan saw her embarrassment, and smiled slightly, "It's okay, Xia · Brother, don't joke with me in the future. ”

Xia Ziyan understood that he was giving himself a step down.

Nodding awkwardly, he took back the sachet in his hand, his eyes moved away from him, he looked ahead in embarrassment, and said to Meng Niang, "Meng Niang... You lead the way, go and pray for blessings. ”

Meng Niang was stunned and stunned.

Why is this just right and not asking for it again?

No, Miss Xia seems to be, how do you feel that there is a lack of common sense?

There are a lot of people praying for blessings, and there are already a lot of people coming and going near the lake, and the more people go to the lake, the more people there are, and many people have already put them there.

When they arrived at the lake, Meng Niang chose a position, and Xia Ziyan and Ouyang Linxuan's master and servant came one after another, squatting down one after another.

Meng Niang had slowly taken out the paper money, incense candles, etc. in the small basket.

"Miss Xia, I'll put the paper money on first." Meng Niangdao Xia Ziyan nodded, and also picked up a handful of paper money.

"No, it's not just a handful, it's like this, take a few pieces of each paper money and fold it like this... Then burn again. Meng Niang taught her hand in hand.

Xia Ziyan did what Meng Niang said, and then, Meng Niang lit the fire, lit a handful of paper money in her hand, and muttered to herself, "Please God bless the people who died in these two catastrophes, have a good home and a good home in the next life, and a smooth life, no more suffering, ask the river god to bless, don't have any more floods, let everyone slowly return to their original life..."

Meng Niang muttered and prayed, and when she said that she was behind, she put a handful of paper money on the ground. "Miss Xia, borrow the fire here to light it."

Xia Ziyan nodded, took a handful of paper money in her hand and lit it, looking at the burning paper money, her thoughts were a little distant.

"Miss Xia, what do you have to say, do you want to talk to... If the departed family member prays, say it, but it is okay to make a wish in your heart. Meng Niang reminded.

Xia Ziyan nodded, slowly put down the paper money in her hand, and her thoughts drifted a little away again, thinking of the warmth and beauty of their family in the past, thinking that she was the youngest, her parents, brothers and sisters spoiled her, and thinking that she was often coquettish by their side.

With an extra handful of paper money in her hand, she glanced at Ouyang Linxuan beside her, saw that he had already handed over the paper money, thanked him, and continued to add it to the fire on the ground, looking at the jumping fire, tears began to roll.

Father and mother, in the next life, they must be happy, healthy and have a happy family.

Brothers and sisters, be happy over there, get married early, have a wife, a husband and children, and the company is getting better and better, but don't have too much pressure, rest well, as long as people are happy.

She handed the paper money in front of her again and again, she put it on the fire and burned it, looked at the fire on the ground with her eyes down, and the tears fell like this, she didn't cry sound, just shed tears.

Ouyang Linxuan looked at her side face, even if she lowered her head, but he could see her tears falling, and his heart twisted.

Until all the paper money was burned, Meng Niang reminded, "Miss Xia, let's light incense and candles and plug them over there." ”

Xia Ziyan came back to her senses, lowered her head, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and when she raised her head, there were no tears in her eyes, and nodded at Meng Niang, but the traces of crying in her eyes could not deceive people, and her eyes were already a little red.

She took the incense candle in Meng Niang's hand, stood up with her, and followed Meng Niang to the place where the incense burner was inserted in a certain direction.

After inserting the incense and candles, he bowed with both hands, and then followed Meng Niang back.

At this time, the two returned to their original positions, Meng Niang helped light a few small wishing lanterns, and said to Xia Ziyan, "Miss Xia, you make a wish, put the lanterns in the lake, your wishes, the river god will see them, and will help you realize your wishes." ”

Xia Ziyan nodded, picked up the two wishing lamps and walked forward, muttering a few words in a low voice by the lake, that is, putting the wishing lamps in the lake.

Looking at the little lantern floating in the lake, drifting down the lake, drifting farther and farther, she said in her heart, farewell, brother and sister, I am doing well here, don't worry about me, you also want to live happily over there.

There were many small lanterns in the lake, and it was not until the two lanterns belonging to her that they were far away that she stood up, took one last look, and then turned back.

Meng Niang was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, and tried to divert her attention, "Miss Xia, aren't you going shopping?" Let's go shopping. ”

Xia Ziyan nodded.

"Is there a place you want to go? Or want to eat something. Ouyang Linxuan looked at her and asked softly.

Xia Ziyan shook her head and smiled a little far-fetched: "Just walk around the street, it's good to be a lively place." ”

"Okay." Ouyang Linxuan nodded.

Behind her, Xiao Dezi looked at her far-fetched face, and also sighed, hey... Without relatives, the mood naturally cannot be calm.

Along the way, Meng Niang thought of ways to chat, hoping to coax her to be happy.

Xiao Dezi also joined, chatting about the interesting things that their master and servant had encountered in the past year, and when they almost reached the lively street, Xia Ziyan's mood slowly recovered.

"Miss Xia, the street in front is lively, do you have anything you want to buy?" Meng Niang pointed ahead.

"I don't know yet, let's take a look." Xia Ziyan smiled.

"Okay, if you want to buy it, you can buy it." Meng Niang said with a smile.

Ouyang Linxuan's mood relaxed, and she just put it down.

Meng Niang took Xia Ziyan around, looked at the stalls one by one, and asked, in the end, she really bought some things.

In the end, she bought a small bag that she carried with her, thinking that if she had something in the future, she could at least put it in her bag.

After wandering around, Xia Ziyan also felt tired, and seeing that she was tired, Ouyang Linxuan suggested that she go to a restaurant to eat something and sit down.

Xia Ziyan nodded, and a few people found a restaurant and went to the private room on the second floor to sit idly.
