Chapter 4 The Festival of Flowers
The Hundred Flowers Festival, the annual grand festival of the Chang Dynasty, is also another begging festival in addition to Qixi Festival.
On this day, the man and woman of your choice can send lanterns to each other to express their hearts.
The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it has always been more prosperous than other places, even at night, there are people coming and going everywhere, because of the Hundred Flowers Festival, the whole street is full of all kinds of stalls, and the ears are filled with all kinds of shouts.
Ruan Cailing excitedly followed behind her brother, speaking of which, she hadn't experienced the fun of shopping for a long time, and the long-lost feeling made her originally suppressed mood completely let go.
At this moment, Ruan Cailing felt that she was truly like a fourteen-year-old girl, without those past events, as if nothing had happened before.
A sugar gourd suddenly appeared in front of him, and it looked bright under the moonlight due to the sugar water, Ruan Cailing didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment.
Ruan Xuchen took the sugar gourd and shook it in front of her, "Take it, don't you like to eat this the most?" ”
Reaching out to take the sugar gourd, Ruan Cailing took a bite, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It's delicious, thank you, brother." ”
"A sugar gourd will buy you." Ruan Xuchen saw her smiling happily, and she was also in a happy mood.
In this way, Ruan Cailing and his party wandered around the street, occasionally passing by a few stalls, and would go up to pick and choose, and when they met what they liked, Ruan Xuchen asked people to buy it.
After walking for a while, I suddenly noticed that there was a stall in front of me full of people.
Ruan Cailing became curious, so she squeezed into the crowd: "Brother, let's go and see, what's fun." ”
"Slow down, don't fall." Ruan Xuchen chased after him uneasily.
Ruan Cailing squeezed in only to find that the owner of the stall had done an ingenious charade activity.
If the people present have their eye on the lantern on the stall, they can draw a word puzzle from the cardboard box on the table, and if they guess correctly, they can take the lantern they like, and if they don't guess, they have to pay money to buy the lantern.
"It's funny." Ruan Cailing nodded, looked at the dazzling array of lanterns hanging in front of the stall, and her eyes were attracted by a rabbit lamp.
Unlike other lanterns, this rabbit lamp is just a simple touch of white, and the two rabbit eyes are vivid, looking like a real delicate and soft rabbit.
"Boss, I want this rabbit lamp, can you let me try it?" Ruan Cailing said softly to the boss in front of the stall.
As soon as the stall owner saw the business, he greeted him warmly, "Of course, Miss is here." ”
"What a cute bunny lamp! Brother Shizi, I want this. ”
With a coquettish shout, a jade hand reached over and picked up the rabbit lamp that Ruan Cailing had taken a fancy to before.
Everyone looked at it, and their eyes lit up, and the person who came was a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with beautiful willow eyebrows and a straight nose, but she was a stunning little beauty.
The man behind her was also handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and slender figure lined with a white brocade robe, like a fairy.
Just when everyone was amazed by the appearance of these two people, Ruan Cailing's body seemed to be frozen, standing there motionless.
Gu Jinxi!
At this moment, Ruan Cailing was in a complicated mood, it was actually him, the man who had been silently paying for her behind her back in his previous life, the man who told her to take her home after his death.
She only felt that her nose was sour, and she could barely control her emotions.
As if sensing Ruan Cailing's gaze, Gu Jinxi glanced at her suspiciously, this woman was so strange, how could she look at him with such eyes? Like guilt? Remorse?
"This young lady, I'm sorry, this rabbit lamp in your hand has been taken by the young lady next to me first, do you see this?"
The stall owner was also a little embarrassed, and secretly said that this rich lady's vision was so unique, and she didn't pick so many beautiful lanterns, but she chose such an inconspicuous rabbit lamp.
When the stall owner's voice sounded, Ruan Cailing's stiff body moved, and she came back to her senses to look at the woman who had spoken earlier.
She knows this woman, she is Ji Jingyan, the lord of Anyang County in King Ping's mansion, who grew up with Gu Jinxi since she was a child and often sticks to him.
In his previous life, because Gu Jinxi treated him differently, he had a pretty face every time he saw him, but his character was not bad, it was just a child's heart.
Ruan Cailing thought to herself, forget it, although she looks thirteen or fourteen years old on the outside, she is a nineteen-year-old soul in her bones, and she can't deal with a child.
Ruan Cailing smiled faintly: "Since this young lady also likes this rabbit lamp, then let it be given to the young lady." ”
After speaking, he turned around and pulled Ruan Xuchen's sleeve, "Brother, let's go." ”
"Wait!"
Ji Jingyan hurriedly spoke, looked at Gu Jinxi next to her, and thought that what Brother Shizi hated the most on weekdays was to take advantage of the situation and bully others.
Ruan Cailing stopped and looked at her puzzled.
"Since you saw this lamp first, I don't have any reason to snatch it, so I'd better give it back to you." Having said that, her eyes were still frequently looking at the previous lamp.
Sure enough, it's a child, Ruan Cailing's lips lifted lightly, "No need, I'm just on a whim, Miss doesn't have to feel uneasy." With that, he turned and left.
A woman's crisp voice faintly came from behind her, "Brother Shizi, you see, people didn't want it in the first place, but I didn't rob it, you can't ignore me because of this...... Last ......"
Ruan Cailing couldn't hear what she said later, she didn't expect to meet Gu Jinxi tonight, after all, this was not in line with the time when they met in the previous life.
It seems that in this life, many things are different.
But that's good, since you have met, then Gu Jinxi, don't think about escaping, this time, take the initiative for me.
Ruan Cailing smiled, and after figuring it out, she was in a very happy mood.
Ruan Xuchen looked at her brisk steps, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, how could she be robbed of something, and she was so happy?
The woman's mind is really hard to guess.
