Chapter 158: Request

Whether it is Ah Yu or Wen Ruguo, they don't like the Lantern Festival.

Since that year, every Lantern Festival, the other sisters in the house are thinking about where to go to see the lanterns, but she is only willing to stay in her small courtyard, and what happens elsewhere, she is deaf, as if on this day, all her curiosity has disappeared in an instant, and the intact eyes and ears are all useless.

It was in the middle of the night that Ah Yu heard the continuous sound of firecrackers, and only then did he find a clue from Wen Ru's memory, and after slowly peeling off the cocoon, he discovered the truth of the past that was ignored by Wen Rugu in a trance.

In Wen Ru's memory, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Wen family gathered in the courtyard of Old Lady Wen to watch the New Year, at least on that day, she had never heard of the emperor and the crown prince going out of the palace to enjoy with the people. But half a month after Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the Lantern Festival.

During the Lantern Festival that year, Wen Rugu stayed in her small courtyard as usual, knowing that she didn't like to go out on this day, and Wen Fu and the others didn't look for her when they went out to see the lanterns.

Similarly, Wen Huan will not respond to the invitation of others on this day, but will stay at home like Wen Ruguo, but will not appear in front of Wen Ruguo.

Although he also stayed in his yard, he never cared less about Wen Rugu.

The day before the Lantern Festival, Wen Huan specially asked people to prepare bamboo strips and rice paper, and the lanterns seen at the Lantern Festival were originally made of these two things.

Wen Huan doesn't have much talent in handcrafting, even if it takes a whole day, the lanterns he makes can only be said to be decent. The style of the lantern is the most common lantern, after the frame of the lantern is fixed, the eight sides are pasted with rice paper, and then he personally writes poems and paintings on the rice paper, and finally comes up with an eight-sided lantern, after the candle in the middle is lit, the painting on the rice paper becomes a shadow and falls on the ground and the wall.

Compared with the lanterns carefully made by street vendors, the lanterns made by Wen Huan every year are shoddy, at most they are more sincere in their hearts.

Although Wen Rugu would not go out that day, on the night of the Lantern Festival, there would always be a marquee in her yard, and after the lights were on all night, the next day's marquee would be sent to her private warehouse. Ah Yu remembered that when Wen Ru married Duan Yuzhi, she also brought those marquee lanterns with her, but later the warehouse caught fire, and the things she collected turned into embers in the flames, and she couldn't find them anymore.

Wen Huan would give her a homemade lantern every year, but that year she gave two lanterns.

One of the marquee lanterns has no words on the eight faces, and there are no paintings, and the other is a lotus lantern, a small and delicate lantern that is made into the shape of a lotus flower, and it is not from Wen Huan's hand at first glance.

Ah Yu learned from Wen Ru's memory that the reason why Wen Huan gave her two lamps was because the lamp he made himself could only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and he failed to complete the lamp because he was taken out by his grandfather in order to accompany the prince out of the palace to play.

She thought about what would happen on the day of the Lantern Festival, and she didn't know what to do for a while to keep the prince and the others out of danger.

After all, there was really no one around her.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the first day of the new year.

The elderly Mrs. Wen is not very keen on sleep, even if she doesn't sleep all night, she is still in good spirits, but she is a junior like Ah Yu, but she can't help but want to doze off.

After a simple meal, everyone is still safe and sound.

After the family got together for dinner, Mrs. Wen waved her hand and asked them all to go back to their own courtyards, leaving no one behind.

Qingrui went in to make the bed, and Mama Chang followed behind Ah Yu and asked, "The girl didn't sleep all night last night, so let's sleep well now!" ”

When Ah Yu was eating, she did feel very sleepy, but when she walked back from her grandfather's yard, in a short period of time, her sleepiness was already like a cloud on the horizon, and it was blown away by the wind.

The window in the inner room was opened with a small gap, and the breeze floated, bringing a little coolness to the warm room.

"Is the girl going to rest?" Qingrui just put the soup woman into the futon, and the quilt has just had a little warmth at this time, if you wait a little longer, the warmth in the quilt can be stronger.

Ah Yu looked at the snow falling outside the window, and she had almost forgotten how she was in the past.

It's just that right now, she hates winter very much.

She walked into the inner room, saw the brazier placed in front of the bed, and said to Qingrui: "I want to rest for a while, you wait an hour, come and wake me up, and the brazier here, you can move it farther away......"

The brazier that can be placed in the house of Ah Yu will naturally not be the kind of thing that the country people do not even have a pattern, but the brazier is originally used to hold the burning charcoal, and the charcoal burns for a longer time, and the brazier will be smoked black by the fireworks.

After Qingrui answered, she went to look at the brazier on the ground, and there was indeed a touch of darkness at the mouth of the basin, and it seemed that she would have to replace it with a new brazier later.

Ah Shen didn't sleep very soundly this night.

The broken dreams are connected in a very strange way, so that after waking up from the dream, Ah Yu even had a little idea of not knowing where he was.

She naturally woke up from her dream, and Qingrui and the others outside were doing needlework together, occasionally looking up at the chiming bell in the corner, and it was not time to wake up the girl!

When he was still in the courtyard of Mrs. Wen, Ah Yu had heard Wen Hang say that he had met a friend who was very talkative, and that the friend had already made an appointment with them to go out to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

When she listened to it, she hadn't thought too much about it, but now that she thought about it, she realized that the friend Wen Hang said seemed to be the crown prince.

When Mrs. Wen went out with her grandchildren, she didn't tell them the true identities of the emperor and others, only that they were members of the royal family.

Wen Huan is a person who has seen the emperor, even if Mrs. Wen speaks vaguely, he also knows their identities. But Wen Hang used to look at the emperor from a distance, and he could only vaguely see an outline in the distance, but he couldn't distinguish the specific appearance of the emperor, so along the way, only Wen Hang was really single-mindedly taking people to play on the streets.

It is probably an established fact that the prince will go out during the Lantern Festival.

Wen Hang can't lie, and there is no need for him to lie about this matter.

Ah Yu looked at the curtain above her head, and counted all the people she knew around her one by one, who would be willing to agree to her request without asking the reason because of her words?

A long time ago, she thought that Duan Yuzhi could do this, but later she learned that the so-called not asking the reason, but because the other party's plan was very big, before the strategy was fully realized, his gentle treatment was just a trap for hunting, and only Ah Yu would not distinguish between the real and the fake, and jumped into it stupidly.

I couldn't find someone who could help, but the days were still passing day by day, and seeing that the Lantern Festival was approaching, Ah Yu's mood became more and more impatient.

Qingrui and the others around them were the first to find out that Ah Yu was emotionally wrong, and they didn't know why Ah Yu was bothered to become like that, and under random speculation, most of them thought that Ah Yu's abnormal actions should be on the two sisters Wen Fu and Wen Rong.

In the first two years, Ah Yu and Wen Fu sisters ate and lived together, and the three of them were like being born of one child, and no one could do without anyone.

However, after this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Wen Fu and Wen Rong never came to Ayu's courtyard again, and they could only see them when the family got together for dinner on weekdays.

Qingrui and the others knew why Ah Yu had an awkward relationship with them, so they would not open their mouths to persuade Ah Yu to apologize to the other party, but they watched Ah Yu's mood deteriorate day by day, and they became more cautious in their actions.

If someone comes to Ah Yu's courtyard and takes a turn, they can find out how quiet the courtyard is.

The little girls who came and went walked on tiptoe, for fear that the range of movement would be a little larger, and the sound would disturb the sullen Ah Yu in the room.

In this way, another two or three days passed, and Ah Yu suddenly received a letter from Xie Huai'an.

A year ago, Xie Huai'an stayed at home to recuperate because of an arm injury, and he never even went out of his own door.

Break your muscles and bones for 100 days.

From the day he was injured, it would have been sixty days at most, not even a hundred! I don't know why he thought about coming to Ah Yu!

Aoba saw Ah Yu staring at the post in a daze, thinking that the girl's mood didn't get better, maybe it was because she had been staying at home and didn't even go out of the door, so he pulled Qing Rui with him, and persuaded Ah Yu to go down and go out for a walk, so as to change her mood.

Ah Yu nodded at the greeting note in his hand, sighed, and said, "He said that he wanted to invite me out to eat, but it was useless, for no reason, and he didn't owe me anything, could I still lack that meal!" She said this not because she felt that there was anything bad about Xie Huai'an, but the reason was the opposite.

Before Xie Huai'an's message was delivered, Ah Yu had thought about whether to ask Xie Huai'an for a favor.

Although he was the youngest son of Xie Fu, before his uncle left Kyoto, he had left many of his subordinates to Xie Huai'an. In other words, Xie Huai'an could mobilize the people left by his uncle to do things for him. It's just that Ah Yu can't think of any reason to ask Xie Huai'an to help.

"What day is it?" Ah Mo rubbed the prayer post in his hand, and was undecided for a while.

The same question, Ah Yu has said more than 100 times in the past few days.

She'd asked almost fifty times since this morning alone.

Aoba sighed slightly in her heart, feeling that her girl's emotions seemed to be tense to the limit, and she replied softly: "Today is only the ninth day of the first lunar month!" ”

"It's already the ninth day of junior high school!"

Ah Yu clenched the post in her hand, and once again counted the people she could ask for help, and found that the people she selected felt that the difficulty was no lower than Xie Huai'an.

The lesser of the two powers.

Instead of asking those who are not very close, or even very difficult, it is better to go to Xie Huai'an for help. At least in Ah Yu's impression, Xie Huai'an is still very talkative.

So when she sat in the restaurant box and said her request, Xie Huai'an was at a loss all over her face.

His days of recuperation at home are still quite comfortable, that is, when he plans to practice martial arts, he will always be interrupted by the people around him, obviously he only injured an arm, but in the eyes of the people around him, he seems to be disabled all over, not to mention practicing martial arts, even when he walks around his home, he can see many people looking at him with worried eyes.

His eyes were so heavy with concern that he didn't even want to go out of his own courtyard.

posted to Ah Su, or because Mao Mao kept clamoring for his sister in his ear, and he also named Ah Su.

What could he do?

He had no choice but to meet the demands of the little ones.

When he saw Ah Yu, Xie Huai'an's brows wrinkled unconsciously, he hadn't heard anyone say that the eighteen changes of the female college were too big. When I came to visit him a year, the little girl looked a little thin, but her face was still ruddy, and the overall complexion was also very good.

Listening to her request again, Xie Huai's strangeness in peace of mind became deeper.

"You mean you want me to find some people to surround a bridge on the day of the Lantern Festival, and you can't let anyone else pass through that bridge, can I ask which bridge you want to surround first?" Xie Huai'an sat opposite Ah Yu, seeing that the child he brought didn't have the slightest nostalgia, so he pounced directly on Ah Yu, he was not annoyed, he only asked where he felt confused.

Ah Yu imagined in his heart that Xie Huai'an might have various reactions, but he didn't expect that the first question he would ask would be.

Shouldn't he be more interested in the cause of this than in the question of which bridge was being fenced?

Having said that, not immediately getting to the bottom of the problem did make Ah Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

She replied to Xie Huai'an's question: "It's the Anhe Bridge next to the restaurant." ”
