Chapter 47 - Lantern Festival

Today is the fifteenth day of September, and this day is particularly significant for the Snow Country, because it is on this day that the legendary noble Empress Chang was born, and on the day of her birth, the ever-bright lights all over the city fluttered in the wind to pray for her.

Therefore, on this day every year in the future, the people of the Snow Country have a tacit understanding to put out the lantern for the eldest queen, and later, it gradually evolved into a lantern festival.

At this time, the sky was slightly dark, and the sun had receded below the horizon, leaving only a little light to shine through, reflected on the clouds not far away.

The vendors on the side of the street had already prepared their goods for sale in the evening, and since it was not yet evening, there were not many pedestrians walking on the streets, and they were all hurrying home.

In an ordinary attic, the candle lamps have been lit, and the decorations used in the room are all used by women, a woman in white is sitting in front of the dresser, and behind her there is also a little girl, wearing a pink coat, combing a double-ring bun, looking younger, and there is still a little baby fat on her face, about thirteen or fourteen years old, soft and glutinous.

Looking at the charming face in the mirror, the little girl standing behind her smiled very sweetly, she helped the woman in white pull her hair, and said to her: "Girl, let me tell you, you must be the most beautiful one today!" ”

After hearing her words, the woman in white looked at herself in the mirror, blinked her beautiful eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of her eyes, and deliberately said: "Nonsense, Xiao Tao, you are poor again!" ”

Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue mischievously and said with a smile: "How can there be, girl, even if it's not everyone's, but Ah Xiao Tao knows that in the girl's heart, the girl must be the most beautiful!" ”

"What are you talking about, this is ......" The voice of the woman in white became smaller and smaller the more she said it, and she was directly blushed by Xiao Tao's words, and her beautiful eyes were full of shame.

But Xiao Tao didn't restrain when she saw this scene, but was still laughing and teasing her, "Don't you think so?" You must know that when the shadow boy saw the girl, his eyes kept following the girl! Can the girl feel it? ”

Hongluan became more and more shy when Xiao Tao said it, and her face was as red as a peach, the water was tender, and people couldn't help but want to take a bite, "Eh! Girl, don't blush anymore, if you continue to be red like this, it will be even ...... Rouge doesn't need to be on it anymore hahaha. ”

Xiao Tao looked at her with a smile on her face, it's so good, since the girl left that place, the expression on her face has become much more vivid, and she is much more cheerful than before, and now she has found her own home, there is nothing better than this!

When Hongluan was dressed up, it happened to be dark, and the door was knocked on twice by Tuk Tuk in due time, "Ah Luan, it's me, I'm here, can I come in?" ”

Shadow's slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Hongluan heard the voice of the shadow, his face began to burn, and his voice was slightly flustered, "Yes, it's Brother Zhongqi, then come in." ”

With a squeak, the shadow pushed open the door, and when he looked around, the first thing he saw was the beautiful woman standing in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his breathing unconsciously lightened, for fear of abruptly abrupt her.

I saw that the beauty was dressed in white, white as snow, but at the skirt, you can still see the pattern of a few flowers under a closer look, looming, three thousand green silk pouring down, the clouds are ethereal, the eyebrows are trimmed, the nose bridge is high, the white skin like white jade shines faintly under the candlelight, and the pretty face is slightly red.

Hongluan raised her head slightly, and saw that Ying was looking at her for a moment, her eyes were full of affection, her little face became more and more hot, and her head suddenly lowered.

And Xiao Tao, who was standing on the side, saw the shadow come in, and her eyes were staring at Hongluan, full of the appearance of the person in front of her, and laughed secretly, look, I'm not wrong, but my eyes have been following the girl!

"Ah Luan." Ying looked at Hongluan affectionately and shouted.

Hongluan blushed, glanced up at him, and then quickly lowered his head and responded shyly: "Zhong, Brother Zhongqi." ”

"Hmm."

The little face, which turned red because of shyness, looked more and more exciting under the illumination of the candlelight.

Ying took a few steps forward, walked in front of Hongluan, and then took Hongluan's hand, suddenly smiled on his face, and looked at Hongluan gently, "Luan, let's go." ”

Hongluan still couldn't raise his head shyly, letting the other party lead him, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito sound, "Hmm." ”

……

Although it is not the New Year, it is also of great significance to the Snow Country, the atmosphere is very full, the street is full of lights, red and green, and there are many pedestrians who come to play on the street, bustling.

Shadow led Hongluan to pace leisurely among the pedestrians, Hongluan looked at the people coming and going in amazement, as well as the vendors who bought all kinds of small items along the street.

"Do you like it?" Seeing Hongluan's eyes staring at these motionlessly, Ying asked softly.

Huh! Hongluan blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at him with a smile, and then shook her head gently, "I don't particularly like it, it's just that I haven't come out before." ”

"Huh?"

"At this time, there are a lot of people there, Mother Xu doesn't let us come out at this time, and this is also the first time that A Luan has come out to play with Brother Zhongqi!"

"So, this is something I've never done before, and I've never thought that I could come out with Brother Zhongqi openly." When Hongluan said this, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and his eyes were shining, "So, Brother Zhongqi, Ah Luan is really happy now!" ”

Ying looked at the smile on Hongluan's face, his heart moved, he clenched the hand holding her, looked at her with a firm gaze, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are also the best by my side." ”

Hongluan looked at Ying with a smile, and after hearing what he said, he suddenly felt a little shy, and when he opened his mouth to say something, he was interrupted.

"This big brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for this big sister!" Suddenly, a children's voice sounded, and Hongluan and Ying immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from, and found that it was a little girl in pink, combing her drooping hair, and wearing two small flowers, carved in pink, with round eyes, looking at the two of them with a smile.

"Big brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for this good-looking big sister next to you!"

It turned out that she was still carrying a small basket on her arm, and in the small basket were all kinds of colorful flowers, and as she spoke, she also took out a bouquet of flowers from the basket, with lilac petals, and the core of the flower was milky white with a slight hint of green.

"This bouquet of flowers is especially suitable for big sisters!"

Shadow looked at the little girl who suddenly appeared to talk to them, pursed her lips, and did not speak.

Hongluan looked at her curiously, and when she saw her take out the bouquet of lilac flowers from the basket, and heard her later words, she asked with a smile: "Little sister, can you tell the big sister why this bouquet of flowers is suitable for the big sister?" ”

After the girl heard Hongluan's question, her big black eyes quickly turned around, shining brightly, and she smiled sweetly, "Because my aunt told me that the meaning of this bouquet of flowers is eternal love, and ......"

"What else?"

"And... Want... Grasp happiness! ”

Ying looked at her deeply, and after hearing what she said, she subconsciously felt that how could a girl understand these things, and she said it specifically in front of him and Ah Luan, someone must have instructed her.

seemed to feel the shadow wary of herself, and the girl didn't feel anything, but the whole person said to Hongluan, anyway, the big sister meant to sell this bouquet of flowers to this beautiful big sister.

When Hongluan heard what she said, she immediately smiled and looked at her softly: "Little sister, your aunt is still talking to you about this, little sister, what's your name?" ”

"I, my name is Shuang'er."

"Okay, Shuang'er, I'll buy this bouquet."

"Ah Luan!" After hearing what Hongluan said, Ying immediately whispered to her.

"Thank you, big sister! Big sister wants to be with big brother! Shuang'er immediately handed the words in his hand to Hongluan, said softly to her, and then immediately ran away.

Hongluan took the flower, and after hearing Shuang'er's words, she saw her running away quickly, Hongluan turned around and took Ying's arm, met his gaze, and a smile bloomed on her face, "It's okay, Brother Zhongqi, I probably know who called Shuang'er, so don't worry." ”

Although he heard Hongluan say this, Ying still didn't let down his guard, and suddenly something was stuffed in his hand, and he subconsciously looked over and found that it was the bouquet of small purple flowers that Hongluan bought.

"Luan, what is this... What do you mean?" Puzzled, he took the bouquet of flowers and looked at Hongluan.

Hongluan took Ying's arm and looked at the bouquet of flowers, then looked at Ying, her face flushed, "Shuang'er just said the meaning of this bouquet, so I, I want to give her to Brother Zhongqi." ”

Implied meaning? What Yu-Ying remembered what Shuang'er said just now, subconsciously looked at the flower in his hand, and then turned his head to Hongluan, it seemed that he had already understood what she meant, and a thin red suddenly appeared on his usually expressionless face.

So, the two looked at each other blushing for a long time.

Shadow suddenly felt as if she heard her own heartbeat, boom! Boom! Jumping so fast, the palms of my hands gradually sweated a little, "Ah, Luan, I-"

"It's time to shine! It's time for the lantern! ”

Several loud voices completely drowned out the voices behind the shadow, and after hearing these words, the pedestrians next to them stopped what they were doing and looked up.

Hongluan didn't hear what Ying was saying, and looked at him suspiciously, then walked closer, looking at him with confused eyes.

At this moment, countless ever-bright lights rose in the sky, trembling and floating towards the sky, giving this dark sky a different decoration.

Ying looked at the ever-bright lantern rising in the sky, then looked at Hongluan beside him, pursed his lips, and suddenly became bold, and reached out to her waist with one hand, hugging her tightly in his arms.

Hongluan suddenly blushed at his move, but after a while, he eased up a lot, and then slowly raised his hands, put his arms around his neck, and hugged him back.

"Ah Luan."

She suddenly heard a sentence at this time, and Ei's lips pressed to her ear and whispered.

"In the future, I will accompany you at every lantern festival, okay?"

Hongluan's heart moved suddenly, listening to what Ying said to her, her nose suddenly soured, she knew what Brother Zhongqi meant, she finally waited for this moment.

After Shadow finished saying this, it was a long time before he heard the voice of the person in his arms.

"Okay."
