Chapter 119: Marriage

She reached out and touched her face, which seemed to be a little hot.

A shyness somehow came out of her heart, making Song Lingyue seem to be running away.

But his feet seemed to have roots, and he looked at Qi Mo's charming handsome face so obsessively, silently.

She must have blushed now.

Song Lingyue thought to herself, fortunately, there was moonlight around to cover it, otherwise the crimson on her face would have to be seen through by Qi Mo at a glance.

"I've found you." Qi Mo's cold voice sounded in Song Lingyue's ears.

Song Lingyue turned her head sideways, using the moonlight to cover up the flush on her face, but her voice was weak: "How do you know that I will be here?" ”

"Your moon-white clothes are recognizable." Qi Mo touched his nose, and the corner of his eye fell on the peach blossom lantern that Song Lingyue was carrying, "Of course, thanks to this lantern." ”

"Liu Liang, what about them? Where is Xiangling and Yanzhi? Song Lingyue looked around and didn't see Liu Liang and them, so she was immediately anxious.

Hearing Liu Liang's name, Qi Mo frowned, and whispered: "We found out that you were missing, so we decided to come to you separately." I thought that if you found out that you were lost, you would definitely want to come to Qingqiao to find us, so I came to Qingqiao first, and sure enough, I found you here.

As for Yanzhi and Xiangling being taken care of by Liu Liang, they should also come to Qingqiao in a while, don't worry. ”

Song Lingyue's frowning brows relaxed, "Huh, it's good that Liu Liang is watching them, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease." ”

"You seem to trust Liu Liang very much?" Qi Mo narrowed his eyes.

"That's because Liu Liang is very reliable." Song Lingyue replied without thinking, "Don't you think Liu Liang's character is very calm?" And being tall and good at martial arts, does it always give people a sense of security? ”

Song Lingyue's hanging heart was put down, and the corners of her lips also hooked up a trace of reassurance.

It's just that the smile that fell on Qi Mo had a subtle ripple, which made him frown.

At this time, the fireworks rose into the night sky again, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the bright fireworks, even Song Lingyue was no exception.

"It's beautiful." Song Lingyue couldn't help but admire, "No matter how many times you see it, you never get tired of seeing such a beautiful scenery." ”

"It's fleeting and extremely short, so it's so reluctant to let go." Qi Mo temporarily pressed the messy thoughts in his heart, walked to Song Lingyue's side, snuggled up to the bridge railing with her, and looked up at the night sky.

"Beautiful things seem to be like this, ephemeral, fleeting, and disappear without paying attention. The fate of fireworks seems to be like this, only a moment of brilliance, then turned into dust and disappeared into the night sky. I can only turn this beautiful moment into a memory and seal it in my memory. Her side face is illuminated by fireworks, and the beautiful light and shadow outline her side face to perfection.

"It's been a long time since I've seen fireworks." Qi Mo's eyes were deep, as if he was sighing.

"You remembered your mother again, didn't you?" Song Lingyue looked sideways at Qi Mo, and a touch of tenderness surged in her eyes.

"I haven't had a Flower Festival since she left. This festival of great joy for the whole country is a sad day for me. Qi Mo lowered his eyes, as if to hide the hidden pain surging from the bottom of his heart.

Song Lingyue reached out and stroked Qi Mo's back, trying to bring Qi Mo some comfort in this way.

"By the way, I lost the bet before, and I'm willing to bet to lose." Song Lingyue diverted the topic, and took out the sachet embroidered with the green bamboo that she had bought before from her sleeve, "This is for you, although I didn't embroider it myself." ”

Qi Mo lowered his head and picked up the sachet from Song Lingyue's palm, the corners of his drooping lips finally had an upward trend at this time, and the corners of his eyes already brought a shallow smile:

"When are you going to buy the sachets? How come I don't know at all? I thought you would give me at least tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. ”

Qi Mo couldn't put it down, grinding the sachet in his palm, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Song Lingyue told the truth, and she didn't plan to hide it at all: "In the morning, when I was serving it to you and Liu Liang, I saw that this sachet was very chic, so I bought it." I wanted to give it to you for a long time, but I never found the opportunity. ”

"So, even if I don't bet with you, will I receive a gift today?" The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes stretched into laugh lines, and a pair of eyes sparkled against the backdrop of the fireworks.

"Hmm." Song Lingyue nodded. When she saw the sachet, she felt that it was very suitable for Qi Mo, so she bought it without thinking about it.

Qi Mo was happy like a child, and hurriedly took out the pair of silver bracelets that he had just asked Li He, the owner of the lantern riddle, to buy before coming to Qingqiao: "It just so happens that I have also prepared a gift for you." ”

Through the light, Song Lingyue saw clearly that Qi Mo escaped from her arms was the pair of silver bracelets for the prize that she had just seen at the lantern riddle stall.

"How did you have these silver bracelets? Isn't this a prize at the lantern riddle party? Song Lingyue was pleasantly surprised and didn't know what to say, so she couldn't put it down and reached out to get the pair of silver bracelets.

"I can make it clear in advance, you can't just give what I gave you to someone else this time." Qi Mo picked up one of the silver bracelets and put it on Song Lingyue's wrist.

"Got it, it won't." Song Lingyue's whole mind was on the pair of beautiful silver bracelets on her wrists, and suddenly a white point of light crossed her mind, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked up at Qi Mo:

"How do you know I've forwarded your stuff to someone else? Could it be that you were really the one who came to Xiangling's house that day to 'take' things? "Stealing this word is too ugly, Song Lingyue stubbornly replaced stealing words with taking words.

Qi Mo panicked in his heart, he just said what he said in his heart without defense, looking at Song Lingyue's appearance, it seemed that he was already suspicious of him.

Qi Mo rolled his eyes, his gaze swept over Song Lingyue's hair with only a silver hairpin, and thought about it: "I see that you have never brought the golden hairpin I gave you, so I thought that maybe you gave it to someone else, so I asked you like that." ”

Song Lingyue was unrelenting: "How do you know that I gave it to someone else and didn't lose it?" She took a step forward and almost put her nose on Qi Mo's face.

"I really just said it casually." Qi Mo was so nervous that even the muscles in his forehead began to twitch, but he still had a light smile on his face.

"Is it really just a casual remark?" Song Lingyue raised her eyebrows, "Why do I think you seem to have something to say all the time?" ”

"Today's fireworks are so beautiful!" Qi Mo snorted and forcibly changed the topic.

Song Lingyue rolled her eyes, but there was really no way to take Qi Mo.

However, this pair of bracelets is really beautiful. She stroked the silver bracelet on her wrist, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Qi Mo, who had been secretly observing Song Lingyue from the corner of her eye, saw her snickering with her eyes down, and let go of her hanging heart.

"Buy flowers? Buying flowers? Do you have any flowers to buy? Buy a flower for the girl next to you! ”

An old voice came from behind her, Song Lingyue looked back, and saw an old woman with gray hair, carrying a basket in her hand, which was neatly filled with many kinds of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, bringing bursts of fragrant fragrance.

"Girl, do you want to buy flowers?" The old woman noticed Song Lingyue's gaze, a kind smile appeared on her old face, and the wrinkles on her face were relaxed.

"Girl, let the boy next to you buy a flower! Today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, put flowers on the girl, and I hope that your feelings are the same as this flower, which is always undefeated and fragrant. ”

As she spoke, the old woman took a peach blossom and brought it out, with a smile on her face that could not be refused.

"Old woman, you are mistaken, he and I are not lovers." Song Lingyue hurriedly waved her hand to explain, but her face turned red uncontrollably.

"Mother-in-law, I'm here, you can't hide my mother-in-law's eyes." The old woman's eyes widened as she spoke, her eyes were a little cloudy due to the years, but there was a thoroughness after years of precipitation.

"The two of you just sent love tokens to each other, and you took the same lantern to watch the fireworks on the green bridge, and said that you are not lovers." The old woman quipped.

"By the way, I was about to ask, why do so many men and women carry lanterns in their hands at the Flower Dynasty Festival? And the lanterns they carry are all the same. Just now, along the way, Song Lingyue has seen a lot of men and women who are about the same age as her carrying lanterns, and most of them are carrying lanterns with different patterns.

However, when she arrived at Qingqiao, Song Lingyue found that most of the women here were carrying lanterns with the same pattern, and the lanterns carried by men and women could just make a pair.

The old woman's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Girl, don't you even know one of our great traditions of the Flower Dynasty Festival? ”

Song Lingyue said embarrassedly: "I have never had the Flower Dynasty Festival, and today is the first time." ”

The old woman showed her original expression and explained:

"The lanterns sold at the Flower Dynasty Festival are all in pairs. And if one of these lanterns is sold to a woman, the other will be sold to a man, and vice versa.

Legend has it that if a man and a woman carrying two lanterns of the same pattern can meet on the Blue Bridge, it will be fateful to meet them.

Therefore, many boudoir girls who secretly promise will tell their sweethearts what kind of lanterns they will carry that day on the day before the Flower Dynasty Festival.

If her sweetheart also appeared on Qingqiao with the same lantern, it would be a response to her feelings, and the two could report to their parents on a certain day, perform six salutes, and set this marriage.

If a man is interested in a woman, he has to find out what kind of lantern his favorite girl will carry on the night of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and then appear on the green bridge.

If the girl also takes a fancy to him, she will take something from her body and give it to the man.

Wife, I've been observing you on the bridge for a long time, you two obviously have a good relationship, why bother to make me a bad old woman's happiness? ”

Listening to the old woman's explanation, Song Lingyue felt as if her cheeks were burning.

She didn't know the rules of the Flower Dynasty Festival, but Qi Mo didn't know about it.
