Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sending Lotus Lanterns in Expectation
Xuanyuan Qinghe also thought about it for a while, and said that if he wanted to type a word, he couldn't guess what it felt like at all, and then he gave up directly.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, Li Xiaoran said with a triumphant smile: "Boss, I guessed it, you have to give me a reward, this word is love." ”
When the boss was about to say the answer, he was suddenly stunned, squinting his eyes and looking at the girl standing in front of him.
There is an indescribable feeling that this lantern riddle has been guessed by many people before, but no one has guessed it. How did you get to this girl and guess it all at once?
"You guessed it, I want to ask, how did you guess all at once?" The boss asked, puzzled.
Li Xiaoran smiled and said in a tone that he wanted to say but didn't say, but there was no sound in his mouth.
"Don't hide it, tell us!" Xuanyuan Qinghe couldn't help it, and said dissatisfiedly, because he was eager to know the answer.
"Because I see you, my eyes are full of what I like, so I know what the answer is, of course it's love!" The corners of Li Xiaoran's mouth raised slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile, I hope people think it's cute.
Xuanyuan Qinghe was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and coughed a few times in a row. Li Xiaoran hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe shook his head and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but his heart was pounding, his face was red, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Li Xiaoran didn't react after saying the answer, in fact, he knew that the answer was not for this reason, but he just felt that when he said it, he had a feeling of love.
The boss never thought that he would be able to eat dog food at this age, so he couldn't help but say, "Since you guessed right, then I'll give this to you!" ”
The boss took out a cyan lotus lantern, handed it to Li Xiaoran, and continued: "Just give this to you, you can take him to the river to make a wish, I wish you happiness!" ”
Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't have any problem listening to the previous words, but the last sentence directly made the two of them stupid in an instant.
"What do you mean by wishing us happiness? Boss, are you making a mistake? Xuanyuan Qinghe said in shock, and couldn't help wiping the huge beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Yes, yes, boss, you have to make it clear!" Li Xiaoran couldn't help but second.
But looking at the boss's expression, he didn't seem to think that he had said anything wrong, and he was still the expressionless boss.
"Aren't you just a young couple who just visited the church?" The boss asked rhetorically, looking at the two of them with a see-through look.
"Of course not, don't talk nonsense!" Li Xiaoran said a little angrily.
Li Xiaoran's cheeks slowly turned red, and the roots of his ears slowly became red, I don't know if it's because of anger or shyness?
Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't answer because he didn't want to answer, because Xuanyuan Qinghe thought so in his heart, "If what the boss said is true, it's not impossible." ”
"What are you laughing at?" Li Xiaoran was angry now, when he suddenly noticed a strange laugh coming from beside him, turned his head and found that it was Xuanyuan Qinghe who laughed inexplicably, so he asked questioningly.
Xuanyuan Qinghe heard Li Xiaoran's reminder, and then realized that he laughed, and hurriedly smiled and shook his head in response: "Don't care what this old man said, since he gave us this lotus lamp, let's go to the river to send blessings, right?" ”
After passing through the crowded crowd, I came to the Yongding River, and there were already a lot of people who were ready to put lights on the river.
There is a bridge on the Yongding River, called Tongding. There were also a lot of people crowded above, but some of the lanterns they threw from the top of the bridge to the river were overturned, and they were not as good as those placed below.
"There is only one, you come and make a wish, and then I will help you put it." Xuanyuan Qinghe said to Li Xiaoran.
Then, I didn't know where to come from, I borrowed a torch and lit the lantern. Then he held it in his hand and waited quietly for Li Xiaoran to finish making a wish, and he was ready to put it in the river.
Li Xiaoran didn't know what wish to make, after all, he had traveled from modern times, and he didn't have any thoughts here, so he simply made a wish.
"I hope..."Before Li Xiaoran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xuanyuan Qinghe and Ling'er, and the two of them said together: "Don't say it, it won't work like this!" ”
"Even if I don't say it, it won't come true!" When Li Xiaoran was about to say this, he found that the expressions of the two people in front of him were extremely serious, and they were staring at him seriously, and Li Xiaoran suddenly didn't dare to say this.
Li Xiaoran turned his head, held the lotus lantern in both hands, and silently made a wish in his heart: "I hope my parents are safe and healthy, I hope everything goes well, and everything is developing in a good direction!" ”
"Okay, I'm done." Li Xiaoran then slowly put the lotus lantern into the river, and almost accidentally turned over the lotus lantern.
Watching the lotus lantern slowly leave under the ripples on the water surface, it seems that the blessings and expectations buried in the bottom of my heart will also be fulfilled.
Suddenly, I heard a rumbling sound, and the night suddenly became colorful, and when I looked up, I realized that it was fireworks.
This firework is not released early or late, but it is released at this time, which is really stuck.
"This firework is beautiful, at least we can't see it!" Li Xiaoran looked at the fireworks and said praisefully. "We are there" is not a capital, but a modern city.
"I heard from others that this seems to be just an appetizer, and at the end of the day, there is a major event, which is said to be ten times better than this firework!" Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't know when to hold Li Xiaoran's hand and said proudly.
Li Xiaoran didn't find that his hand was being held by others, and when he was about to leave, he found out, because he wanted to shake his hand and move, but found that he couldn't move at all.
"Oh my God, when did you pull it?" Li Xiaoran thought in disbelief. But at this time, you can't break free, after all, it's been so long, and it will be very embarrassing to break free at this time.
was held by the hand like this, and was pulled around by Xuanyuan Qinghe, although I also saw a lot of interesting things, but I always felt as if something was missing.
"Gollum, Gollum." Suddenly, one of the three people didn't know who came from this voice, and the three of them hurriedly looked at each other, only to see one person couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, I've got a showdown, it's me. Anyway, there's nothing to eat, I'm hungry. Li Xiaoran said with a grin.
Xuanyuan Qinghe looked around and found a peddler pushing a wooden cart, as if selling wontons, so he walked straight over.
"Little brother, are you still buying wontons?" After Xuanyuan Qinghe walked over to take a look, he found that there were very few wontons, and the vendor had a feeling that he was going to close the stall, so he asked suspiciously.
"If you buy it, I'll sell it." The peddler said without looking back, when Xuanyuan Qinghe was hesitating, the peddler had already begun to descend into chaos.
Xuanyuan Qinghe turned his head sideways and smiled, and said to Li Xiaoran: "Let's come here to eat some wontons first, originally we sat here first." ”
After Li Xiaoran and the three of them sat down. After a while, the wontons were served, and Li Xiaoran tasted it without fear of being hot.
I originally thought it was ordinary, but it was just something on the vendor, but who knew that after this bite, I felt that the whole taste buds were conquered.
"Your cooking is so delicious, business should be good, right?" Li Xiaoran asked while eating, chewing in his mouth.
When the vendor heard the voice of a girl, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Xiaoran's table, it didn't matter what he saw, the spatula in his hand had fallen.
"How can there be such a good-looking person?!" After seeing Li Xiaoran's appearance, the peddler immediately thought in his heart.
I didn't know how to reply for a while, so I stumbled and said, "No... If you don't make much money, just pay it back, it's okay. ”
Li Xiaoran didn't notice anything different, and after eating the wontons, Ling'er paid the vendor money and left.
Only the vendor remained, looking stunned, and remained motionless.
"What do you look at, is there anything to see?" Then a man came over and asked, as if he was friends with the vendor.
"I saw you today as a particularly beautiful person, something I've never seen before." The peddler said to his friend.
"You've seen a few people, you've been to a few places, you want to eat here every day, hurry up and close the stall, and while there's still some time, a few brothers go to have a drink." My friend said nonchalantly.
There are fewer people on the streets, lanterns are still hanging, fireworks are still on, but there are fewer people on the streets.
"Isn't it going to be over, is it going to be today?" Li Xiaoran looked at the empty posture on the street and asked suspiciously.
"Not really!" A voice came from behind, Li Xiaoran turned around and found that it was Chen Wei and Qin Ru who were talking behind his back.
"Ahh Li Xiaoran was puzzled, since the lantern festival is not over, why are there fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street?
"Because today's highlight is coming, Chen Wei and I also came to see it at this time, and everyone went there to see it." Qin Ru pointed in one direction and said.
Following this direction, looking at the place where he pointed his finger, Li Xiaoran really felt that the lights there were brighter, and the fireworks were also released from there.
"Today's highlight is that the top card of the Red Mansion Pavilion is about to come out, and if you want to see Ruyi on weekdays, it will cost you a thousand taels of silver tickets.
This is almost the highlight of every lantern festival, and as soon as the first card comes out, his singing skills and dancing will be shown, so at this time, almost everyone goes there to see it. ”
Qin Ru looked at Li Xiaoran, who was still confused, and showed a kind smile, and then explained to Li Xiaoran.
After listening to Qin Ru's explanation, Li Xiaoran understood that this was the case.
Xuanyuan Qinghe and Ling'er actually didn't understand what was going on, and just following Qin Ru's explanation, they also understood what was going on.
"I seem to remember, Chen Wei, you seem to have a class to guard today." Xuanyuan Qinghe suddenly remembered, and asked Chen Wei.
"I asked Cui Qi to give me a shift, don't you want to accompany your sister-in-law today, so I asked for a leave." When Chen Wei was heartless, he still smirked at Qin Ru.
