Chapter 11 Blessing of the River Lantern

Hearing Lord Lin ask her why she was crying, Lan Yue just bowed her head and said nothing.

"Do you know the meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival river lantern?" His voice was soft, and he was as cold as before.

Blue Moon hesitated, "I...... We were a small place and had never heard of this custom! ”

Lord Lin smiled unconsciously, the rivers and lakes of Zilang Country are all over the place, and it is a custom in all states and counties to release river lanterns.

"Put the river lantern to pray for blessings, you ......" Lord Lin paused, "Would you like to...... Come with me? ”

Lan Yue thought that she had misheard, and looked at this always cold Lord Lin with wide eyes.

"Bai Hong has been wronged by you, I'm afraid it's not so easy to trust me!"

Lord Lin laughed softly, "But I can wait for you in the carriage for half a pillar of incense, if you want to go, you can get on the car, if you don't want to go, go back to the embroidery workshop and have fun with them." With that, he turned and lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

In the car, Lord Lin leaned against the wall of the carriage, his eyes slightly closed, and there was no emotion on his face.

Outside the car, Blue Moon stood in place, watching the lantern candles light up little by little......

Finally, hearing that the curtain of the car was lifted, a shallow smile appeared on Lord Lin's calm face.

Lan Yue sat opposite Lord Lin stiffly, her body swaying gently with the carriage, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, how is Lord Lin ...... Not admiring the moon with your family? ”

The corners of Lord Lin's mouth hooked, "You want to ask me if I am married!" Is it someone else who wants to ask, or do you want to ask? ”

Lan Yue's face turned red unconsciously, and Lord Lin sighed softly, "Not yet!" ”

"You asked a question, then I have a question too."

Without waiting for Lan Yue to speak, he continued: "On that day, why didn't you let Chunlan tell the reason why you went out, maybe you can be exempt from punishment." ”

Lan Yue's tone was calm, "A mistake is a mistake, if we buy things for our family is excusable, then others will have various reasons to make mistakes in the future, how can the embroidery workshop manage people!" ”

Lord Lin nodded approvingly, raised his hand to lift the curtain of the car, turned to Lan Yue and said, "Look outside, those river lanterns have been put up!" ”

Blue Moon lifted the curtain and saw the carriage marching along the riverside covered by green trees, and the teahouses and restaurants scattered along the riverside were brightly lit, and countless candle-lit lanterns rose and fell along with the winding river.

There is only one full moon in the sky tonight, and all the stars have fallen into the gently rippling water.

The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant, Lord Lin got out of the car first, raised his hand to help Lan Yue, she subconsciously avoided it, he couldn't help but smile, turned around and led the way in front.

Lan Yue looked at this restaurant carefully, the plaque reads "Invite Moon Building" three big characters, but it is very opposite to the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the restaurant layout is very fresh and elegant, but there is silence inside.

Lan Yue followed Lord Lin up to the second floor and entered a spacious box, where the bright moon was in the sky outside the window, and there were many delicacies on the table. She didn't sit down, but just looked at Lord Lin, who understood in his heart, so he sat down on the top first, and motioned for her to take a seat.

Lan Yue's gaze swept over, some didn't know what the dish was, and the others were just that, a plate of things with bright red shells and fangs and claws aroused her curiosity.

Looking at Lan Yue's eyes, Lord Lin said with a smile: "Eating crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a tradition of Zilang. ”

Blue Moon blurted out: "The crab looks like this!" Feeling a little speechless, he hurriedly said: "I only went to my mother-in-law's house this year, so I ......"

Yan Yunchao is in the north, although there are a lot of delicacies from all sides, but after all, the road is far away, and what Blue Moon has eaten is crab paste, crab roe and the like, and the complete fresh crab has not yet been seen.

Lord Lin didn't seem to hear what Lan Yue said, raised his hand to pick up the celadon teapot and poured tea for her, Lan Yue hurriedly left the table and said, "Lord Lin, I can't help it, I'm just ...... A primary school apprentice who doesn't dare to work as an adult, let me come. ”

"Now there are no adults, no apprentices, on the night of the full moon, you are homesick, I am lonely, just as a friend to get together, if you have so many courtesies, how to eat this meal." Lord Lin said as he picked up the silver chopsticks and sent them to the blue moon plate.

Seeing that the blue moon was seated again, Lord Lin cleaned his hands in the crystal bowl with osmanthus flowers, picked up a crab, opened the delicate box at hand, and took out the silver scissors from the box.

He first cut off two large claws, then gently knocked around the crab shell with a small hammer, then opened the back shell, took out the golden crab roe and tender crab meat with a silver skewer and silver spoon, and put them into a white porcelain dish one by one.

The technique was done in one go, Lan Yue was dumbfounded, Lord Lin looked at Lan Yue with a smile, put the small dish in front of her, and handed over a small cup and said: "The crab is cold, you want to dip it in ginger vinegar, you try it!" Later, I will drink a glass of osmanthus wine, which can remove the fishy smell. ”

Lan Yue blinked her eyes twice, picked up the silver chopstick, picked up a little and tasted it, her mouth was sweet and delicious, and she said in her heart: "Such an ugly thing, but the taste is not bad, Zilang people will really enjoy it." ”

Looking at Lan Yue's expression, Lord Lin pursed his lips and smiled, picked up another crab, Lan Yue put down the silver chopsticks and said, "Lord Lin, I'll come here." ”

Lord Lin's eyebrows moved, his eyes were a little suspicious, but he still handed over the crab in his hand.

Lan Yue learned from his appearance, and dismantled it in style, and after a while, this crab was divided by her and solemnly placed in front of Lord Lin.

"It's a pity that the embroidery workshop lets you do chores!" Lord Lin looked at the complete and clean crab shell in front of Lan Yue and laughed softly.

In the past, Lord Lin, who was not smiling in the eyes of the blue moon, seemed to be a different person tonight, pouring tea for her gentle and considerate, from the dishes in front of her to the customs of Zilang Country, and before she knew it, it was already the middle of the moon.

Lord Lin got up and came to the window, looked at the bright moon, lowered his head and said softly, "You should go back!" ”

He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the carriage, as if he was a little overwhelmed, Lan Yue peeked through the light in the carriage, and under the light and shadow, Master Lin's well-defined face seemed to be more handsome.

Unconsciously, Lan Yue felt that her face was a little hot, maybe it was Fang Cai's osmanthus wine......

The carriage didn't go long before it suddenly stopped, Lord Lin lifted the curtain of the car to take a look, turned his head and smiled at Lan Yue: "This is where the river lantern is placed, you can also go and make a wish." ”

Lord Lin and Lan Yue walked down the stairs and came to a pavilion near the water on the bank of the river, where a lotus lantern was already placed.

She walked down the steps to the river, closed her eyes for a moment, and then gently lowered the lantern into the water and watched it drift away.

Lan Yue got up and turned around, and saw Lord Lin standing in the pavilion, looking at her quietly, his eyes were clear and soft, just like the bright moon and clear light tonight......
