Chapter 90: Mandarin Ducks? Lantern.
……
"The young man has a good eye, this is a mandarin duck bird, which represents the sweetness and happiness of love, and it is just right to buy it for this girl." The merchant under the tree said with a smile.
"Mandarin duck birds?" There was some surprise in the rest of his life, he knew the mandarin duck, Chen Xiaolan often appeared in the poems and texts that he recited to him before, but this was the first time he had seen this mandarin duck.
Chen Xiaolan's face was flushed, staring at the lantern in a daze, not daring to look at Yu Sheng, looking forward to the moment when Yu Sheng gave the lantern to her.
However, the rest of his life hesitated, he just regarded Chen Xiaolan as his sister, if he sent a mandarin duck lantern, it would be worth it.
"You say this is a mandarin duck? Who has such a majestic posture? Spreading its wings is like soaring above the nine heavens, this charm is not something that a mandarin duck can have. Little brother, don't be deceived by him, this is definitely not a mandarin duck. ”
Just when he wanted to refuse for the rest of his life, a middle-aged man in a splendid costume walked next to him, his appearance was extremely ordinary, and it was difficult for people to remember.
This person looked at Yu Sheng with blazing eyes, and the look in his eyes made Yu Sheng quite uncomfortable.
"And what is this?" Yu Sheng asked.
"I don't know, but it's certainly not a mandarin duck." The middle-aged man said.
The merchant was not embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Is it a mandarin duck, you don't count, I don't count if I say it, maybe not in your eyes, but in the eyes of other girls, it's not necessarily." ”
"What you say is quite reasonable," the middle-aged man agreed with this, and said, "In this way, you give the lantern to this little brother, and I will pay the money, which should be my blessing." ”
When Chen Xiaolan heard this, her face turned even redder and she said, "Brother Yu Sheng, let's go." ”
Yu Sheng also didn't want to accept people's things, so he hurriedly refused, but after the middle-aged man paid the money, he disappeared into the crowd without looking back, and he couldn't see it again, as if he was afraid that Yu Sheng would catch up.
The merchant took off the big bird lantern and handed it to Yu Sheng, reminding: "Every year people who come to Yujingyuan to enjoy the lanterns will write their wishes on the lanterns, especially lovers, it is said that it is very effective, don't forget the two." ”
Yu Sheng thanked him, lifted the lantern, and the light shone out in the lantern, illuminating the big bird very vividly.
It's just that Chen Xiaolan beside her became more and more silent, and sweat seeped in from outside her sleeves, with a little warmth.
After a while, Chen Xiaolan whispered, "Brother Yu Sheng, can I hold this lantern?" ”
"Of course you can, it was meant for you." Yu Sheng hurriedly said.
Chen Xiaolan was overjoyed, took the lantern quietly, looked at this big bird, her eyes were extremely fond, and she even followed the footsteps of the rest of her life a little faster.
Does it have anything to do with mandarin ducks? This was given to her by Brother Yu Sheng.
Soon after the two of them left, the merchant cleaned up his stall, left Yujing Garden, and came to an ordinary grocery store in the town.
There is a middle-aged man sitting in the shop, drinking tea and eating snacks, and he is in a very good mood.
If Yu Sheng and Chen Xiaolan saw it, they would definitely recognize that this was the person who had just given them the lantern.
"My lord, these are your two copper coins." The merchant put the two copper coins that the middle-aged man had paid just now on the table.
"I sent the things, and the money is naturally mine, what are you giving me the money for?" The middle-aged man said.
"Yes, my lord is right." The merchant laughed and hurriedly put away the copper coins.
"Don't tell anyone what I'm coming, even what you asked you to do today, and don't let anyone know about it." The middle-aged man's voice was flat, and he invisibly exuded the momentum of a superior person.
"Understood." The merchant shuddered, and his smile instantly stiffened.
It wasn't until after the middle-aged man left that he wiped his cold sweat, and his heart was mixed, not knowing whether it was bitter or sweet.
……
The rest of the life of the two shuttled in the Jade Garden, except for the big bird lantern in their hands, the rest of their lives did not fancy any of the others.
It's not that these lanterns aren't delicate enough, on the contrary, none of them can be hung on the trees that aren't boutiques, but in the rest of my life, I don't have the feeling of seeing the big bird lanterns.
It's good-looking, and if you see it, you forget it.
As for Chen Xiaolan, she didn't pay attention to the side, in her eyes, this big bird that shook slightly as she walked had already occupied her entire eyes, how could she tolerate anything else?
At this moment, someone in front of the big bird blocked her direction, Chen Xiaolan stepped back with a lantern, but the person blocked again.
"Something?" Yu Sheng pulled Chen Xiaolan behind him and said coldly.
The person in front of him was gorgeously dressed, no less beautiful than Huang Qiu, and he was obviously from a wealthy background, but his gaze was very annoying, and a pair of eyes were staring at Chen Xiaolan, with an obscene look.
"Wu Hao of the Wu family has seen this young lady, I wonder if I am lucky enough to invite the young lady to enjoy the lanterns together?" Wu Hao said, unabashedly his desire for Chen Xiaolan.
He has seen a lot of beautiful women, Chen Xiaolan is dressed plainly, although there is light makeup on her face, she can't hide her pure color, which is the kind he likes the most.
"I don't," Chen Xiaolan refused without hesitation, and grabbed Yu Sheng's arm, as if he had already said that he already had a sweetheart.
Wu Hao looked at Yu Sheng, it is undeniable that Yu Sheng's appearance is indeed better than him, but it doesn't matter, what's the use of looking good? Is it rich and good-looking?
"Miss, you may not know me, I, Wu Hao, am the first son of Huang Li," Wu Hao smiled proudly, took out a money bag from his arms, and the crisp sound of coins hitting attracted the attention of the people around him.
Immediately after, he pulled the money bag, and the shining closure emitted a seductive light, eye-catching and intoxicating.
"See? As long as the young lady is willing to enjoy the lanterns with me, it's all yours. Wu Hao said seductively, he was not afraid that someone would attack him, and the Wu family's weight in Huangli Town was enough to suppress the greed of those people.
"The Wu family? Do you know Wu Gui? Yu Sheng frowned, he remembered that there was a person named Wu Gui in the school who was also very badly beaten.
"Do you know my brother? That's better, and it saves me more, give me this young lady, and you can go to someone else. Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Sheng a few times, and stretched out his hand to grab Chen Xiaolan.
The air cooled down, and Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes, as long as this arm passed over him, he promised to make this surnamed Wu the same as Sanpi, a one-armed person.
Wu Hao didn't perceive the danger at all, and looked at the flustered Chen Xiaolan, his heart was itching.
"Stop!!"
At this moment, a loud shout made him pause, and his voice was terrible, and he saw his younger brother Wu Gui running over like a mourner, and grabbed him tightly.
"Brother, you're confused!" Wu Gui gritted his teeth and pulled Wu Hao aside.
"I'm not confused, Wu Gui, I'm your brother, have you forgotten?" Wu Hao pushed Wu Gui away dissatisfiedly and walked towards Chen Xiaolan again.
"He's a scholar!" Wu Gui grabbed Wu Hao and looked at Yu Sheng's gaze with great fear.
"A scholar scared you, what are you doing here?" Wu Hao said with disgust: "When will it be the turn of our Wu family to be bullied by a scholar?" ”
"It's the scholar I told you about Huang Qiu!" Wu Gui said hurriedly, if this person wasn't his brother, he really didn't want to care about him alive or dead.
Huang Qiu? Scholar?
With memories in his mind, Wu Hao chuckled in his heart and said with difficulty: "The scholar who injured Li Tu? The scholar of the Autumn Garden? ”
There is no need to answer at all, Wu Gui has already pulled Wu Hao away, Huang Qiu is not afraid, because Huang Qiu has no attack power, and no matter how much he scolds, there will be no physical damage.
But the rest of his life is not necessarily, thinking of the punch that Yu Sheng and Li Tu fought against, Wu Gui was chilled in his heart, his own fleshy arms and legs, why bother hitting that moldy head?
The surrounding crowd saw that there was no excitement to see, and they dispersed one after another, but the fame of the rest of their lives also spread, and the two young masters of the Wu family had something to say when they saw the people they were afraid of.
The rest of the boy's life, where did it come from?
At this moment, in the scattered crowd, someone asked curiously, Gu Chen carried a lantern, and heard the young man's name for the first time.
Rest.
