Chapter 21 Gusu fireworks
The bustling streets are lined with stalls, the air is filled with the shouts of hawkers, and the whole long street is filled with the smell of human fireworks.
The carriage slowly drove across the small bridge, and Ye Anan gently lifted the curtain and looked curiously at the small river under the bridge.
The boat floated slowly in the river, and the boatman shouted the Gusu tune. The girl by the river rolled up her long sleeves and washed her clothes with her snow-white wrists.
Children slip into the water with belly pockets, splashing water on each other and playing with each other.
The sound of laughter floated across the riverbank with Wu Nong's soft words.
White walls and black tiles, green water, a good ink painting.
"It's so lively."
Ye Anan couldn't help but sigh, after crossing the bridge, he arrived at West Street, the street was wider, and the horse-leading, juggling, and hawking were more lively.
happened to see a vendor carrying a sugar gourd shouting and walking past the carriage, Ye Anan hurriedly said: "Chun'er, go buy two strings of sugar gourds and see if there are any seedless." ”
"Hey!" Chun'er jumped off the frame, and after a while, she took two strings and ran back from the window to hand them to Ye An'an.
"Master Changgong, this string is for you."
Tang Huai glanced at the sugar gourd in front of him, and his voice was scattered: "If it's not dry, you can eat it." ”
"If you don't do it, you won't get sick if you eat it."
Ye Anan saw that he didn't eat it, and he didn't dare to force it, so he bit a big one by himself.
The sweet sugar cube melted in his mouth, and Ye Anan's eyes were watery: "It's delicious." ”
These folk snacks have never been eaten in the palace, and as a sweet tooth, she has almost forgotten the taste of rock sugar gourds.
Tang Huai saw that she was eating extremely hard, dividing five by two, and eating a bunch of sugar gourds clean in one bite, and wanted to bite another string when he opened his mouth.
He reached out and snatched the rest of the strings.
Ye Anan was puzzled: "Aren't you not eating, my lord?"
"This thing is very sweet and greasy at first glance, Your Highness is careful to eat too much and have a stomachache, and Zhang Worm Tooth."
Ye Anan didn't care: "No, I don't see anything wrong with sweets for three meals a day in the palace, adults are too worried." ”
Tang Huai said lightly: "Since His Highness came out with our family, our family has the obligation to take care of His Highness's body." If His Royal Highness insists, our family will not dare to disobey, lest we take good care of it, so let's ask Her Royal Highness the princess to return to the palace. ”
Ye Anan hurriedly pulled his sleeve and opened his watery eyes: "This sugar gourd is a little greasy to eat, and the rest of the bunch of factory fathers can be disposed of at will." ”
Tang Huai pulled his sleeve out of her hand: "The princess with a hand full of sugar slag is not dirty, but our family dislikes it." Catching a glimpse of a little sugar residue sticking to her mouth, Tang Huai was extremely disgusted, took out a handkerchief and threw it into his arms.
Ye An'an didn't have the consciousness of being disliked, and smiled with a handkerchief: "Thank you, adult." ”
It was almost noon, and the two chose a restaurant to eat.
Squirrel osmanthus fish, egg yolk pot, eel paste, snail shrimp, osmanthus sugar taro seedlings......
Ye An'an was satisfied with this meal, and touched his bulging belly and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a sudden commotion downstairs, and Ye Anan looked out from the window on the second floor, and saw a crowd of people on the long street, and a group of gorgeously dressed servants sitting in a sedan chair on the street.
"What is this for?"
Seeing her curiosity, the runner who came in to deliver the fruit after the meal smiled and said, "The girl doesn't know, today is our Gusu's Niangniang's Day, and people from nearby towns will come to participate." There will be a rally tonight, and the whole city will be lit up with fireworks. Just write your wish on a river lantern and put it in the water on this day. The river lantern will float into the celestial river with the river, bringing wishes to the gods. ”
"Sounds interesting." Ye Anan looked at Tang Huai with expectant eyes.
Tang Huai took a sip of tea while blowing tea foam, but he didn't seem to hear it.
Ye An'an was a little anxious, and when he saw Dequan on the side, he looked at Tang Huai and said with a smile: "My lord, there are many people in the city today, Gusu Road is narrow, and it is not very convenient for the carriage to move around. ”
"Yes, yes, Dequan is right." Ye Anan hurriedly responded.
Tang Huai put down the teacup unhurriedly: "Since that's the case, let's rest for one night." ”
Hearing this, Ye Anan cheered.
In the evening, Tang Huai waited for Ye Anan to go shopping together under the inn.
saw that Ye Anan couldn't wait to rush downstairs.
She has changed into a water-red full-breasted skirt, with small pink beads in her hair, which looks delicate and cute.
This dress is the most popular style she took Chun'er to the shops on the street in the afternoon to pick out the most popular style of the current Gusu girl.
Ye Anan bowed slightly: "My lord has been waiting for a long time." ”
……
At the beginning of the lanterns, the houses on both sides of the river are full of lanterns.
The boatman made the reflection of the red light reflected in the river ripple with a long penny.
Ye Anan sat on the boat with Tang Huai and walked on East Street with the current.
At the East Street rally, a huge paper lotus flower stands on the surface of the water. In the center of the lotus, slender dancers dance to the accompaniment of the servants. Countless painted boats are lit up, and through the windows of the boats, you can hear the soft singing of silk and bamboo music and the singers.
With a roar, countless fireworks exploded in the sky in an instant, and the city was full of light.
Ye Anan bought four lanterns from the boatman on the river bank and handed one to Tang Huai.
The man stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes contemptuous: "These are just things to deceive the foolish people, and you believe it." ”
"If you don't want to write down your wishes, you can just put the lanterns on it."
Ye Anan stuffed the lantern to him, and gave the other two to Dequan and Chun'er: "If you have a wish, write it down, it's easy to come once, and you have to have fun." ”
After that, Ye Anan picked up the pen and thought about it, wrote his wish on the paper, stuffed the note into the lantern, picked a river bank with few people, and pushed the lantern into the water.
She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes and prayed, "May my parents be well, and may everything be well." ”
Her small lantern soon merged into the large field of lanterns and was nowhere to be found.
The candlelight on the river drifts into the distance, like the Milky Way in the sky.
As soon as she got up, she saw Tang Huai not far away pushing the lantern in his hand into the river.
When he got up, he saw Ye Anan looking at him, he was stunned, and then pretended to be casual, dusted off his sleeves, and turned around to leave.
Ye Anan looked at him with some embarrassment, covered his mouth and snickered.
"Wait for me, sir."
Ye Anan beckoned to him and turned to walk towards him.
Unexpectedly, the crowd on the shore was too crowded, and although the two seemed to be not far apart, it was extremely laborious to walk over.
In the distance, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums, and the vaudeville show began.
The crowd surged suddenly, Ye Anan was pushed and walked in the opposite direction, she was not too tall, and the whole person was buried in the crowd and couldn't be seen.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Chun'er, Dequan!"
Ye Anan found herself being pushed farther and farther away, and several people around her seemed to lead her away.
Ye Anan didn't feel good, and just wanted to shout, he was covered with his mouth covered and pulled to the side of the alley.
"Uh-huh......"
Ye Anan struggled to escape, but suddenly fainted in front of him.
