Shadow
I was so nervous that I was about to close my eyes when he smiled at me and said, "I'm content."
"Huh?"
He straightened up and dragged me forward.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Go to the North City Gate, and in half an hour, you will be able to see the most beautiful round of fireworks tonight."
The road turned to the bridge, and suddenly saw two familiar figures in front of me, I was overjoyed, and the two people in front turned back at the same time.
Can Baili Yuan go out to the streets with Yu Gui? It's a once-in-a-century miracle.
Seeing me, Yu Gui was happy, happy to welcome this side, Baili seemed to be unwilling, although the steps also moved with Yu Gui, but the face was reluctant.
Changji glanced at me, I didn't care, tilted my head to solve, he shook his head, and said lightly: "You don't have to meet the crown princess."
I wondered, "Why?" Then I saw it, and I can't pretend I didn't see it. Besides, this is Yu Gui, and it's not anyone else, how can I see her without saying hello. β
"She should want to be alone with Uncle Xiao Huang more than you, not to mention their ......"
Halfway through Changji's words, Yu Gui also came closer, looked at me and Changji muttered quietly, and said with a smile: "You two whispered, what are you plotting about?"
Changji and I looked at each other and smiled, but kept silent.
At this time, Baili Yuan walked with a cold face, and walked to Yu Gui's side naturally, Yu Gui didn't look at him the whole time, just cared about pulling me to talk, Baili Yuan lowered his eyes, and looked around, his left hand was behind his back, his right hand covered his mouth and coughed, seeing that our attention was focused on him, he nodded to us unhurriedly: "What a coincidence, you also come to the night tour."
Typical speechless.
After a pause, he said again: "Jiankang City hasn't been so lively for a long time, and the moonlight is not bad tonight."
Yu Guizheng was talking and laughing with me, and when he heard this, he went out, frowned and looked at Baili Yuan, and said word by word: "Are you blind?"
Although it didn't rain today, it wasn't sunny, the gloomy weather, the black, blue, black and blue sky, where did the moon come from.
Baili Yuan looked up at the sky, and immediately looked embarrassed, but when he turned around, he didn't forget to argue with Yu Gui: "When did I say that there is a moon, did you hear it wrong."
Changji and I looked at each other, but neither spoke.
Baili Yuan, can you still be so naΓ―ve?
Changji smiled: "Uncle Xiaohuang, how long have you not been out, Jiankang City has never lacked excitement. But it's no wonder that you rarely travel because of your busy schedule. It's rare that you're willing to come out for a walk tonight. β
I hurriedly interjected: "Uncle Xiao Huang is disturbed by trivial things, he shouldn't have a chance to relax, since I met here, why don't you travel together and go to Beicheng to watch the fireworks show, you say yes?"
Baili Yuan peeked at Yu Gui, and saw that she didn't react, so he said to her in a stiff tone: "What about you, do you want to go?" β
Yu Gui didn't reply, but looked behind Baili in a daze, as if he was attracted by something. He didn't even pay attention to Baili Yuan talking to her. Seeing her bright eyes, we all turned our heads to look behind Baili Yuan, focusing on a stall selling shadow puppets.
Yu Gui looked at this, his eyes could no longer be taken away, and he pointed to the shadow puppet stall, happy and happy.
"I want to play that."
As he spoke, he walked towards that side, and walked swiftly to lead the hunting white. Because she was walking too quickly, she collided with the pedestrians who carried flowers in the past, her small body, who was sick and sick on weekdays, really didn't bumble, and she was about to fall, and Baili Yuan rushed over with an arrow to pull her down.
Yu Gui leaned in Baili Yuan's arms, quite flattered, slowly looked up at him, and stammered a word of thanks.
The fireworks bloomed into the void in an instant, Yu Gui raised her eyes, turned her face sideways, her long eyelashes blinked occasionally, and the brilliance cast after the fireworks exploded illuminated her face, making her already fair face more and more moisturized, and even if her complexion still showed a hint of sickness, it was still very good-looking.
And Baili Yuan, green shirt embroidered orchid, black hair and jade crown, the whole body is unstoppable and luxurious, although I can't get used to his usual snub of returning, but I have to admit that this guy is very good. It is understandable that he was fascinated by five confusions and three ways.
This moment of warmth didn't last long, according to my understanding of Baili Yuan, next, Yu Gui will inevitably be reprimanded.
"What are you doing walking so fast and falling, don't expect me to help you."
Sure enough.
I always feel that something is wrong with today's Baili Yuan, is he busy and crazy recently, so he can't talk too much, he is worried about people on this side, and takes the initiative to rush over to help, and on the other hand, he puts cruel words, saying that he doesn't help people when he falls? So who is he holding now? Air?
Yu Gui's face gradually changed, he withdrew from Baili Li's embrace, and said lukewarmly: "You don't have to worry about it, you can't die even if you fall, if you don't bother to help, you will fall to death, that's also my business, I can't rely on you." β
Baili Yuan sneered: "You can't rely on me, but your parents are afraid that they will run to my father and count me down, especially your mother, and you want to blame me for not taking good care of you."
Yu Gui clenched his fists: "You just said that I was, why bother to involve my mother again."
"Am I wrong? β¦ There are so many government affairs waiting for me to deal with, if it weren't for your mother running to my father to cry, saying that I care too little about you on weekdays, just when you are recovering from a serious illness, and it is the hairpin festival, accompany you out to relax, my father has to let me come, do you think I am willing to come? β
Yu Gui frowned and said calmly: "Yes, where do you want to be really close to me." You are willing to show your face and accompany me out, but it is only because of the admonition of Jinshang, who reprimanded you for not hurting your humerus loyalty, so you had to travel with me and come out to kill the rumors of the outside world. In this way, it is difficult for you. β
Baili was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Yu Gui to say this, but he didn't want to fall into the wind, so he said coldly: "It's good that you know."
Yu Gui was angry, her cheeks flushed slightly, I thought she was going to say something to fight back, worried that she would quarrel with Baili Yuan on the street, the relationship between the two was finally eased, and it was impossible to fall into a cold war again so quickly.
I wanted to persuade Yu Gui, but Changji stopped me, "Don't go over and make trouble." β
"But ......"
I looked at Yu Gui, and I really couldn't get involved in this.
Yu Guiliang's silence for a long time not only frightened me, but also Baili Yuan's face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "Don't you want to watch a shadow puppet show, what are you doing in a daze, and you want me to accompany you?"
Yu Gui unexpectedly didn't quarrel with him this time, and he didn't care about his deliberate overtures, so he pulled me up and squeezed me to a lively place without saying a word, leaving Changji and Baili behind him.
The footsteps stopped in front of the stall performing shadow puppetry, Yu Gui looked at the little people who were flipping and jumping in the screen frame in a daze, bent down and looked over curiously, his eyes were full of joy.
I saw that her eyes were shining as she stared at the shadow puppet, as if she had never seen it before, and I couldn't help but say, "Don't tell me, you haven't seen a shadow puppet show."
She replied to me with a smile: "Of course I have seen it, I used to play when I was young." While pointing to a silk puppet, he said to the stall owner, "How can this shadow puppet be sold?"
"Which do you say?"
"This and this, the little girl carrying the flower basket, and the little man on horseback, how is this sold?"
"Oh, this flower girl and Tanhualang are a couple, the meaning is excellent, only buy a silver ingot."
The stall owner was an elderly man with a kind face. Speaking kindly, he is a little greedy for money, and he even asks Yu Gui for a gold ingot.
"What? A silver ingot? Where are you robbing money? β
Before I could speak, I shouted.
The old man calmly stroked his gray beard and said lightly: "Little girl, I am selling things, you are buying things, bartering for money, buying and selling seriously, what do you say about robbing or not."
I argued with reason and tried to bargain with him: "But your shadow puppet is too expensive, a silver ingot, can buy you more than a hundred stalls, you can tease us." In this way, you can make a price, thirty dollars. β
He was engrossed in cutting the vellum paper, and his eyelids were not raised: "You are dressed so luxuriously, not to mention a silver ingot, you can afford a gold ingot." If it's worn in tatters, I'll sell it for thirty dollars. β
Good guy, looking good, he is actually a black hand, and he still has a hatred for the rich? Seeing that we were well dressed, they deliberately slaughtered us.
I clasped my hands and snorted, "What kind of material are you making of shadow puppeteers, and they are sold for a sky-high price, your heart is really black." I'll give you some more money, three cents. β
"One ingot of silver, no two prices."
"Five front silver."
The old man put down the scissors and urged impatiently: "Little girl, do you want to buy it?" If you buy it, you will pay for it, and if you don't buy it, you can play at the same time, but don't hinder me from doing business. β
I'm so angry that it's not about the money, it's about the old man who really doesn't clean up, and it's too annoying to talk. I flicked my long sleeves and was about to leave, but Yu Gui waved his arms and said with pride: "Buy!" Of course, you can get it for me. β
I widened my eyes and exclaimed: "Yu Gui, you are really a loser, a piece of silver, you can give it if you say it, don't your heart hurt."
Yu Gui waved his hand in disgust: "What's this, it's just a silver ingot, it's all small money, I don't feel distressed."
She turned around, winked at me, squinted for a long time, squinted and smiled: "It's just that I was in too much hurry to go out today, I didn't bring any money, and I was lacking, or you would give me a cushion first, and I would pay you back when I went back."
Hehe, you are so generous because you don't have to pay for it yourself, right?
I subconsciously pressed my money bag and shook my head vigorously: "Don't deceive people, will you bring no money?"
She spread her hands, smashed her mouth, frowned and smiled bitterly: "Really, I didn't lie, I really don't have any money, I don't have any children."
My eyelids are beating, this is probably the poorest and most picky princess I have ever seen, Yu Gui, say that you are a nobleman, who believes it! It seems that you really don't want this royal face.
I sighed, reluctantly took off the purse and opened it, endured the heartache and took out a silver ingot, before I could hand it out, I was interrupted by a sudden sound behind me, Baili Yuan handed over a silver ingot to pay the stall owner, looked at Yu Gui, and said softly: "Which one do you want to get yourself."
