Chapter 25: The Lantern Festival
There are also a few lanterns hanging on a relatively deserted stall, and unlike others, his lanterns are all white, no matter what shape they are, they are all the same color. And other people's lanterns, colorful, very attractive to tourists, naturally more people buy them.
Nian Xin went around the stalls, and finally chose to stop in front of this deserted stall and stared at the lanterns of his house for a long time. When Xiao Lingran saw Nianxin's figure, he also followed, patted her little shoulder, and said, "Which lantern did Nianxin fall into?" ”
Nianxin stretched out his finger and pointed to the one hanging on the far left, Tu Ye came over at some point and asked, "What are you looking at?" Then he looked at the lantern that Nian Xin pointed to, it was in the shape of a white fox, and the fox was grinning and very happy.
"......" Tu Ye's face was a little bad, Xiao Lingran noticed his emotions and patted him for comfort, Tu Ye also nodded as if understanding.
"Boss, I want this, how can I sell it." Xiao Ling pointed and asked about the price.
The man seemed to think about something, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and replied, "If the girl likes it, take it, and don't need money." ”
Xiao Lingran was a little puzzled and asked, "Aren't you trading at a loss, a small business ......" Nianxin picked up the lantern and played there, the man looked at her and said with a wry smile:
"If my child were still alive, he would be so old by now...... I've been guarding for so long, when will you forgive me......"
Xiao Lingran thought to himself, seeing that the boss seemed to have some kind of story, so he asked: "Boss, you said that other people's lanterns are all colorful, why is your family's body white?" ”
The boss smiled and said, "I still sold colorful lanterns that year...... I was very young at the time, and I met her, and she was wearing a pink dress with a smile all over her face...... She passed by my stall, caught a glimpse of a white lotus lantern, and said to me with a smile, 'It's still white'. ”
Seeing that the boss fell into memories, they also listened carefully to his story, and Dan Qingzi and Yao Lao also came to gather with them, and when they saw this, they also stopped to listen carefully...... The boss said as he spoke, his face darkened a lot: "Later, we fell in love, and I made a lot of white lanterns according to her preferences, because they are rare, there are many people who buy them, and my business is booming...... So I went crazy with research, all kinds of strange shapes, and left her pregnant at home...... I wasn't able to stay with her until she had a difficult birth...... Finally...... boss broke out and cried bitterly.
Xiao Lingran was a little unbearable, frowning and not knowing what to do. Nian Xin was well-behaved, ran over and hugged the boss, and patted him on the back with his little hand, as if to comfort him. The boss touched Nianxin's face and said:
“…… She is the person who loves to be lively the most in her life, and they all say that people will turn into ghosts when they die, and there will be revenge and revenge...... But even if she takes revenge, she doesn't want to come to see me, if she comes to lock my life, I'll stay with her under the Yellow Spring......"
At this time, Dan Qingzi opened his mouth: "Your wife may have forgiven you a long time ago, and she has been guarding by your side, but you don't know it......"
After hearing this, ......the boss was slightly stunned, and then said: "Then I will guard her here, she must still be angry with me, so she has always been reluctant to see me, and she is not even happy to dream...... Maybe one year's lantern festival, her soul wanders the streets, passes by my stall, and sees my white lanterns, and knows it's me......"
"This lantern should be regarded as a thank you gift for listening to my nonsense tell stories......" The boss said, Xiao Lingran no longer shirked, took the lantern and thanked the boss, and left.
The story of "Hu ......" is so dignified that the audience just now is a little depressed.
"Take a look, take a look, the beautiful Baochai produced by the Amazing Magpie Pavilion is the only one, and it will not wait for ...... outdated" The shouts in the distance attracted their attention.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Tu Ye proposed, and everyone went to the crowded place over there.
"Amazing Magpie Pavilion ......" Xiao Lingran looked at the shop in front of him and read it again. It turns out that this store is the most popular jewelry store in Fenglan City, and the owner is very business-minded, and he will take advantage of the lantern festival to hold some activities. After listening to it for a long time, I realized that today the Amazing Magpie Pavilion will take the treasure of the town store - Luo Shen Hairpin as a prize and give it to the winner of today's competition. As for what kind of competition it is, I still didn't say it, but when I saw the hairpin word, even Xiao Lingran, who usually doesn't love these daughters' things, opened his eyes wide.
"What, you like it?" Tu Ye asked.
"Qi, what's so good-looking, it's just a girl's plaything......" Xiao Lingran replied with a little disdain, Tu Ye said "oh", and really believed it.
The competition is still to come, and now it is the link where all kinds of jewelry are sold at reduced prices.
Banxia jumped out again, took a pair of earrings out of nowhere, handed them to Xiao Lingran, and said with a smile:
"How about the earrings I bought you, don't they look good?"
Xiao Lingran took it and looked at it carefully, this earring is really very distinctive, the earring is a transparent crystal, polished into the shape of a water droplet, and there is a pear blossom inlaid in the crystal, it is really like an idiom "pear blossom with tears". Wearing it soft and weakly, it's really like that pear blossom, which is the most suitable for little girls. Xiao Lingran nodded with satisfaction, although Banxia is usually five big and three thick, but he is still very careful about Xiao Lingran, Xiao Lingran is also very sure of Banxia's aesthetic vision, so he accepted his gift.
Xiao Lingran also couldn't wait to join in the fun, and he was also dazzled by a large number of goods. Most people like to choose some hairpin characters that can reflect the temperament of wealth and nobility, or are delicate types of jasper. Often the type that is like boiled water, light and light, never enters their eyes.
"Eh~" Xiao Ling was dyed in many jewelry, and he saw a clear stream at a glance. She picked up the white jade, slightly emerald hairpin, and asked the little girl in front of her:
"How do you sell this hairpin?"
The little guy waved his hand and said: "The girl's vision is unique, this hairpin can't be sold in previous years, since the girl likes it, then take it for five cents." ”
Xiao Lingran smiled evilly in his heart, this little guy is too eyeless to see, this is also a hairpin made of jade, since it was sold for five cents, so he quickly took out the money, for fear that the little guy would think about it and return. After leaving, I heard a person behind me say:
"The girl has a good eye—"
Turning around, "Yo, it's you, long time no see!" Xiao Lingran said hello.
"Five cents, you have earned it, this is a good tribute jade." Bai Ci said with a smile.
"Gongyu? What is Gongyu? Xiao Ling was puzzled.
"Tribute jade refers to the jade specially provided to the emperor, and the quality is very good, but unfortunately these people are clumsy and can't see through it...... I picked up a big baby for you. Bai Ci explained.
"Xiao Lingran, why aren't you okay, hurry up-" Tu Ye saw Xiao Lingran's figure from a distance, and walked over, "You...... Blank resignation? What are you doing here! ”
Bai Ci nodded when he saw Tu Ye and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival, and I specially came to my mother's ...... Mother bought some jewelry and went back. ”
"You're so filial." Xiao Lingran praised on the side.
"Oh? ——" There was a question in the distance, Dan Qingzi didn't know when he heard their conversation, walked over, and looked at him intently.
"You look extraordinary, I don't know which noble young master......"
"Poof...... My father was just a petty official, not a nobleman. Bai Ci replied with a smile.
"I want to invite all the officials to the lantern festival in the palace, why did you run out alone?" Dan Qingzi asked again.
"The lantern festival in the palace is very boring, the intrigue of the officials is really boring, anyway, my father is not a big official, no one cares if I go or not, it is better to go outside and ask for a leisure......"
"......I see," Dan Qingzi replied lightly, and stopped talking.
It seems that these two people who meet each other seem to be talking and laughing and greeting each other, but in fact, they are not......
"Eh, by the way, did you come out alone?" Tu Ye asked.
Bai Ci shook his head and said, "No, my father didn't worry about my safety, so he asked my husband to accompany me." After speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man not far away, who had an extraordinary temperament, and he could notice it at a glance in the crowd.
Dan Qingzi glanced at the man and snorted coldly, thinking that Bai Ci was really lying. Chang Qing stayed on the side for a long time and remained silent, until he saw the gentleman who said in vain, and immediately couldn't hold back himself, and said excitedly: "If I didn't say it wrong...... This is...... This is Fu Yuan, the great bachelor of Tianxiang Kingdom! ”
Bai Ci nodded and replied, "Exactly." After hearing this, Chang Qing was so excited that he almost fainted, this gentleman's talent is recognized by Tianxiangguo, if anyone can recognize him as a gentleman, it is estimated that he can be happy and can't sleep every day, which is contrary to the normal Youth Association.
"Seeing that you are so excited, you must also be an admirer of Mr., why don't you have time one day, please chat with Mr. Fu for a while......" Bai Ci looked at Chang Qing and said.
Chang Qing was a little speechless with excitement, but he was stunned on the side, he could see Mr. Fu Yuan, he already felt very lucky, he didn't expect Bai Ci to invite himself so kindly...... Although it was only verbal, what if he really wanted to! The abnormal youth feels that it is definitely a wise choice to come to see the lantern festival today.
