Chapter 189: Teasing the Child
Bo Zhaoxu's gaze always stayed on Xiang Yeqi's body, and naturally he also noticed that what Xiang Yeqi was staring at was the rabbit lamp. Hua Guo can hold the mediocre lantern market as a festival, and naturally it will also work the prizes of the lantern riddles, and the lanterns as the first prize often require many craftsmen to work out for several days, and it takes a whole month to draw the drawings alone.
This rabbit lantern may not be able to find the second one if you search all over China at the moment.
For Bo Zhaoxu, the meaning of this sentence is probably that the great joy that can make Xiang Yeqi like it so much, may not be able to find a second thing when he searches all over China at the moment.
He stuffed all the gadgets he was holding in his arms into Xiang Yeqi's arms, and said with a smile: "Wait for me here." ”
Xiang Yeqi was stunned, but felt a bad premonition.
She looked in the direction that Bo Zhaoxu left, and Bo Zhaoxu really went to find the middle-aged man who won the first place in the lantern riddle club.
If you say what kind of impression ordinary people have of people who can win the laurels of the lantern riddle club, they are probably young talents with good manners, or old scholars in the age of cranes. It's just that the middle-aged man in front of him holding a rabbit lamp not only doesn't look like a scholar, but even because he wears a animal skin with a pudding, he looks more like an illiterate hunter.
Xiang Yeqi sighed - stereotypes kill people.
She stepped forward to catch up with Bo Zhaoxu, who was discussing the price of the rabbit lantern with the middle-aged man, who scratched his head a little restrainedly: "This, this is for my daughter......"
Looking at Yeqi, he really had a little girl in a peach-colored dress at hand, although he was almost covered with patches sewn from various animal skins, but his daughter's dress, at a glance, was a fine fabric, just like a pink carved ball.
Bo Zhaoxu retreated: "Five hundred taels." ”
This price really made Xiang Yeqi almost flash his tongue, how could this man be such a loser! Five hundred taels, five hundred taels, Xiang Yeqi only felt that his head was big......
Five hundred taels, not to mention buying such a lantern, is to use the purchased lanterns to fill the entire Four Princes' Mansion, I am afraid that there will be more than four hundred taels left.
Xiang Yeqi was just about to stop Bo Zhaoxu from continuing to talk about this business, when he saw the middle-aged man gritting his teeth and seemed to be ruthless: "It's just five hundred taels!" ”
It's just that the lantern was stuffed into Bo Zhaoxu's arms, and the middle-aged man actually performed a gesture of parting from life and death, which was so touching.
And the little girl he was holding in his hand watched his rabbit lantern go into someone else's arms, and after realizing it, tears immediately fell to her mouth, hugging the middle-aged man and whimpering: "Daddy! Don't give to others, Bunny doesn't give to others! Bunny is the ...... of smoke"
The middle-aged man hugged her in his arms, and he was also very embarrassed: "Yanyan, daddy will buy you other lanterns, okay?" There are so many beautiful little lanterns over there, and Daddy buys two for Yanyan, no, three! You can also buy a lot of sugar gourds and good-looking little clothes for Yanyan, and what Yanyan wants now, Daddy can afford it. ”
The little girl who was called Yanyan cried and coughed twice, and shook her head vigorously: "Don't, Yanyan wants this one!" ”
Xiang Yeqi squeezed through the crowd to find Bo Zhaoxu at this time, and she happened to see it: "My sister is an adult, so I don't need this ...... at all."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly in embarrassment, and made amends to the two: "I'm sorry, this lamp ...... I won't come back, I've sold everything, how can I not believe it! I've spoiled this girl, don't mind, I'll take her away. Good luck to both of you in the light market. ”
No matter how the little girl in his arms cries, the middle-aged man plans to take her and leave, the price offered by Bo Zhaoxu is a family property that he has not saved for several generations, as long as he takes the five hundred taels, he can give his daughter a more stable life.
At least he doesn't have to be like himself, because of his poor family and gave up poetry and books, inherited the hunting bow handed down by his father, and no longer dared to miss the past when he was studying, for fear that he couldn't help but feel uneasy after his ambitions were disappointed.
"Wait a minute."
Xiang Yeqi stopped the father and daughter who were about to leave, she looked at Bo Zhaoxu and smiled slightly, in the silent place, there was always a tacit understanding that the two of them had never said explicitly.
Bo Zhaoxu handed the rabbit paper lamp back into the arms of the crying little girl, and said: "My sister is still young, not an adult, like Yanyan, she likes these beautiful things, and she also needs someone to take care of her and give her what she likes." Did You Know? ”
The man still cared about this, and chuckled softly at Yeqi, Bo Zhaoxu actually regarded himself as a child.
The little girl twitched her tears: "Yes." ”
In fact, she still didn't understand the deep meaning of Bo Zhaoxu's words, and only understood it according to her own thoughts: "My sister is also a little girl, and she must be willful." ”
Xiang Yeqi really likes the childish innocence of the little girl, and while laughing, she saw the embarrassment of the middle-aged man touching his waist bag, and it is easy to accept the money, but if she returns it, there will be a feeling of cramping and tearing, which is unbearable.
"The money has already been paid, and I can't go back empty-handed." When she said this, the middle-aged man felt a deep sense of disparity, and was about to return the money, and asked with a smile to Yeqi: "Otherwise, you tell me where you bought the sachet of Ling Qianjin?" Buy your hard work to show the way, it should be no problem. ”
The middle-aged man was a little stunned: "How can this be done...... This is a full five hundred taels, that is, five hundred yuan, and he has to weigh it carefully."
He looked at Bo Zhaoxu with scruples.
Bo Zhaoxu only said: "Listen to her." ”
"This sachet is embroidered by the insiders at home, it is not a valuable thing, and it cannot be bought outside." The middle-aged man smiled embarrassedly, but suddenly thought of something, untied the sachet from the little girl's waist, and handed it to Xiang Yeqi's hand: "Come, girl, you take it!" I'll go home and ask her mother to embroider another one, and there's nothing special about it, it's rare for you to like it. ”
Xiang Yeqi accepted it this time, and the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief and left with the little girl in his arms.
"I thought you liked it."
"I like it." She didn't hide her thoughts, "But I'm more concerned about the temperature behind the lantern than the lantern itself." ”
What Xiang Yeqi said was still a little complicated, but she was smiling, and Bo Zhaoxu only wished to follow her wishes. Compared with this exquisite handicraft itself, it seems that there are still many people with the temperature between people, and it is worth looking at the night slightly.
"But compared to that...... I prefer this one. ”
She pointed to a lantern stall not far away, which was a small stall where you could make your own paper lanterns, and many mothers and their children sat beside the stall, drawing crooked little lanterns.
Bo Zhaoxu sighed a little helplessly - and then became the only man in the meantime, Xiang Yeqi acted in his true colors, full of playfulness.
But it is not difficult for Bo Zhaoxu to hunt hundreds of live rabbits, and it is not a problem to catch dozens alive, but the palm-sized small lantern in his hand makes Bo Zhaoxu very headache. He has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he can still master the strength of his hands, but he still has to beware of breaking the small lantern in his hand if he is not careful.
"Let me come."
Xiang Yeqi smiled at Bo Zhaoxu when he was so deflated, so he took the lantern into his hand, carefully sealed the edges, and said proudly: "Now you only need to draw your facial features, you have to come by yourself, but I must draw better than you!" ”
She dipped it in ink with a sense of ritual, and then began to brew a stunning painting, and after a long time, she finally put pen to paper, drawing a rabbit face like a stick figure.
……
Xiang Ye's self-confidence was extremely frustrated.
She was sulking with her lips pouting, when she suddenly found a little boy standing next to her, looking at the sugar box in her arms, looking at the candy box in her arms and drooling.
"Want?" Xiang Yeqi asked.
The little boy snorted, his eyes shining, "I want to." ”
This sugar box was originally bought by Bo Zhaoxu for Xiang Yeqi to "play", if it wasn't for Xiang Yeqi to stop him, he only let Bo Zhaoxu order a dozen boxes and send them back to the house, this man could even go down the whole stall in front of her bread.
He shook the delicate sugar box to Yeqi and asked him with a smile, "Then if I give you this sugar box, what should you say?" ”
The little boy said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt......"
Aunt?
Xiang Yeqi almost changed her mind on the spot, and the little girl called herself a sister anyway, how could she become an aunt here? She didn't want to say it too obviously, so she pointed at Bo Zhaoxu: "This should be called brother." ”
The little boy nodded obediently and smiled with white teeth: "Thank you, brother, thank you, sister-in-law!" ”
Xiang Yeqi felt that she probably couldn't get any satisfactory answer from the little boy's mouth, so she only touched his head, handed over the sugar box, and nestled beside Bo Zhaoxu again.
"Isn't he screaming well?" Bo Zhaoxu couldn't help but laugh at Ye Yan twice, "You are my wife, and he is quite insightful." ”
"Then he can call him brother-in-law!"
Xiang Yeyan muttered more about this truth, but saw Bo Zhaoxu's brush suddenly fall, and by the way, he scraped over the small ink disc on the table, such a mistake would never appear on him.
Bo Zhaoxu covered his heart with a painful face, and was so frightened that Xiang Yeqi didn't dare to care about it anymore, and hurriedly supported Bo Zhaoxu: "Are you okay?" What happened just now? ”
He hugged Xiang Yeqi into his arms for no reason, and said in a joking tone: "Lie to you." ”
Xiang Yeyan was so angry that he hit him with his powder fist again and again, just as if he was messing around on weekdays, but Bo Zhaoxu didn't dare to let people see his pale face and frowning brows.
This is the masterpiece of the Gu worm left by Old Madam Gu, and there is only one reason why he can feel such a heart-devouring pain.
Gu Yanchao, who had another Gu worm buried in his body, was now near here, and he was very close to him, so I am afraid that he still passed by, only a few steps apart.
