Chapter 28: Lighting the lamp and praying for blessings
Thinking of Huo Xiaoting again, Li Qia hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and smiled at Li Qing, "Seventh sister, why did you come to me at this time?" ”
The two walked together under the corridor, Li Qing's little face was full of the shyness of the boudoir girl, she half-lowered her eyelids, and said softly: "We are all people who have just decided to get married, so I want to find you to go with you to put the lamp and pray for blessings." ”
The sparkle in her eyes can't be covered even by half-drooping eyelids, which is the boudoir girl's yearning for the future life.
Li Cha wanted to say something, but he couldn't bear to interrupt her beautiful yearning.
And now she only knows the superficial results of the past life, how can she remind the seventh sister to make her believe that what has not happened now?
It seems that this matter, the Zheng family and Zheng Wenhao, she should find someone to investigate first, and then make plans.
"Seventh sister, can you teach me to make lotus lanterns?" Li Qia first suppressed his thoughts and pulled Li Qing into the house.
"Good! I've already brought everything I need to make a lotus lantern. ”
Li Qia asked Yuyu to take the basket carried by the maid next to Li Qing, and when he opened it, most of the materials used to make river lanterns were already semi-finished products, and he only needed to assemble them slightly.
This is what Sister Seventh knew she was lazy and specially prepared for her, right?
Such a gentle, considerate and empathetic seventh sister, finally ...... Li Cha looked at those things, and a layer of sadness surged up in his heart.
Even if she cried, made trouble and hanged herself, she had to prevent the tragedy from happening again.
Li Qia quickly made the river lantern, asked Yu Yu and Yu Shen to fetch the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote blessings with Li Qing, and stuffed them into the river lantern.
"What did the Ninth Sister write?" Li Qing put away the pen and looked at Li Qia with a smile.
"I won't tell Seventh Sister." Li Cha blinked mischievously, and then couldn't wait to pull Li Qing out together.
They each took the maids around them, went out of the gate of the Li family, and came to the west moat outside.
It was already dark, and there was only the stars on the riverbank.
Li Qing lit the candle first, put the river lantern into the moat, and muttered something in his mouth.
Li Cha also followed Li Qing's example, put the lotus lantern into the moat, and dialed the water with his hand to make the lotus lantern spin in the water.
Looking at the lotus lantern that glowed dazzlingly in the dark night, as if it could point in the direction of people, she muttered: "I wish the same thing in front of the willow flowers, Zhu Yan is far away in age." ”
Under the bright moonlight, this is her blessing to Li Qia and Li Qing, who died early.
…………
Under the moonlight, Huo Xiaoting stood tall on the bank of the east moat.
The sword in his hand was at his feet, and his dark eyes were deeper than the murmuring moat in front of him.
Although people can't see the emotion, they sigh helplessly.
Ay! Why is it Li Jiu?
It's really a debt that can't be escaped!
When his mind was in turmoil, Huo Xiaoting actually saw two points of light on the moat, like two bright and dazzling stars in the dark night sky.
A little bit of light suddenly brings hope to people's hearts.
Huo Xiaoting took a long step and approached the river, and then gradually saw the two lotus lanterns floating down the river.
When he was bored, he met them, which shows that this is also fate.
Huo Xiaoting hooked the lotus lantern closest to him to his feet with a long sword, ignored the pain of the wound on his back, bent down and fished it out of the river, and held it in his hand.
He has always been calm and introverted, but there was a little joy on his face.
Such an expression made his beautiful face more vivid and brilliant, and he saw the heroic appearance of the young man and his vitality.
The shining light of the lotus lamp plated his face with a pale golden glow, and the folds shone brightly.
Huo Xiaoting turned the lotus lantern and suddenly found that there was a small note in it.
He pulled out a small note with his long fingers, opened it happily, and saw a line of words inside.
"I wish the same thing before the flowers, Zhu Yan is far away in age." He whispered in a mellow voice, but his gaze grew more and more distant, darker and darker.
Realizing that the power of his palm had almost crumpled the small note, he relented and reopened it.
Through the light, he saw that the words on it were clear and wild, so that he couldn't tell whether the author was a man or a woman.
In short, he fell in love with this lamp today, and no one could snatch it, so he simply took the lotus lantern in his hand and entered the Shengguo Mansion.
Even if he owes someone a lamp, if he is fated to meet the lamp maker again, he will definitely repay the favor.
went back to the outer courtyard directly, and the little guy Hansha and the projection came out together, and when they saw him holding a lantern in his hand, they couldn't help but look at each other.
They followed Grandpa Huo, only to see that he had a knife, gun, stick in his hand, this lotus lantern...... What a sense of disobedience!
Huo Xiaoting handed the lamp to Hansha, asked him to carefully receive it in the study, and asked the projection, "What about Qiu Ze?" ”
"Back to the little grandfather, Chief Qiu just went out in a hurry, and changed into a night suit." The projection replied truthfully, and had already taken a hot cloth to wipe Huo Xiaoting's hands.
Huo Xiaoting's long eyebrows condensed slightly, and suddenly thought of Qiu Ze's reaction that seemed to be too strong today, and a bad premonition came to his heart, so he didn't take the handkerchief in the projection's hand.
The handkerchief accidentally fell to the ground, and the shadow bent down to pick it up, and when he got up again, Huo Xiaoting's figure had disappeared, and he didn't even hear the footsteps.
The projection couldn't help but scratch his head and muttered, "What's going on today?" ”
…………
After putting out the river lantern and breaking up with Li Qing, Li Qia took the jade pendant back to the yard.
The master and servant didn't notice that there was a figure in the shadows quietly following them.
Thinking of the imminent tragic fate of Grandpa Huo, Qiu Ze clenched his fists in the dark.
The Huo family is kind to him, Grandpa Huo treats him like a brother, he can't know the result, and let Grandpa Huo jump into the abyss from which he will never recover.
It seems that this Li Jiu girl can no longer stay in the world.
Although this is shameless and cruel.
He can bear all the consequences alone.
The holy decree has been issued, and now there is only one way to get rid of Miss Li Jiu.
Although Grandpa Huo will end up with the reputation of a wife, it is better than ......
Qiu Ze couldn't bear to recall the past, and his handsome face under the black scarf was dyed with pain.
And even if the little grandfather falls into the name of his wife, there will still be many famous ladies who will succeed him.
Qiu Ze made up his mind......
…………
Stepping into the courtyard, Li Qia took the jade pendant and went to the ear room first.
Now is Huanhuanwang's very important recovery period, and she has to be careful.
Entering the ear room, Cheng Chengmeow jumped down from the small hammock, but did not stand firmly, and a small piece of fluffy rolled on the ground, just in time to roll to Li Cha's footsteps.
"Promise to be good!" Li Cha bent down to pick up the cheerful little meow, and gently carried it to the cat scratching board with his eyebrows and eyes, "Let's play alone for a while." ”
The person outside the window twisted his eyebrows......
