Chapter 233: Female Workers
As the night progresses, the lantern festival becomes more lively, and many shops have started to cheer up. There are also some juggling, playing a hundred plays, and Bo things, which are interesting, and people outside surround layer after layer, making it difficult for people to walk.
Jiang Yan carried a few lanterns won by guessing riddles and broke through in the crowd, Xie Jingxing grabbed her sleeve tightly, Rao was like this, and the two of them were almost scattered.
They were busy guessing lantern riddles all the way for a long time, and Jiang Yan saw that there was a vacant place in a small stall, so she said, "Let's go and sit there for a while." ”
This one sells colorful small balls, which are fished out of the oil pot, squeezed into a bowl in a small way, and sprinkled with a handful of sugar osmanthus flowers on top, which is very delicious to look at.
Jiang Yan just hadn't eaten it during the day, so she asked for a bowl.
She asked the store to take an empty bowl and divided Xie Jingxing with more than half, "I ate a lot during the day, and now I will taste it, you can help me eat some, don't waste it." ”
Xie Jingxing had been trained in Yunzhou, and he was not a picky eater, so he took the bowl and ate it.
Jiang Yan looked at the lantern placed aside and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to guess the riddle very well, if it weren't for you, I might not be able to win any of them." ”
When she went a little late, some simple ones were won away, and her little ancient literary attainment, the difficult choice was to embarrass herself.
Xie Jingxing remembered what happened when he was studying, "I don't have much patience for the Four Books and Five Classics, but I am very interested in riddles and couplets
Jiang Yan tried hard to save herself, "The lantern riddles I guessed in the house are not like these outside, and the words are gone, and I don't understand what I am talking about." ”
"The house should be literate, not as direct as outside." Xie Jingxing smiled, "It's really a little different. ”
Jiang Yan herself smiled, "That's it, how easy to guess in the four sentences." The inside is afraid that others will not guess, and the outside is afraid that others will guess, and I don't know where they are looking for these questions. ”
They were talking and laughing, when a hesitant "...... came from the side Danyu girl? ”
Jiang Yan was stunned, how could she meet an acquaintance?!
Everyone called out her name, and it was useless to run away, she turned around stiffly, and was about to make up some words to fool the past, anyway, this time she came out of the bright light, but what she saw was a stranger.
She looked at the other party for a long time before she vaguely found something familiar, "Are you...... Wu Gongzi? ”
A smile appeared on the visitor's face, "I didn't expect the girl to remember me." ”
Jiang Yan didn't expect to see him again, Wu Wenyuan helped her a lot when she was a merchant before. Later, he saved money to open his own shop, and they gradually lost contact.
I haven't seen this for three or four years.
Jiang Yan smiled: "You have changed so much, I almost didn't recognize it." How can you tell it's mine? Haven't I changed in years? ”
"I also tried to shout to see, but I didn't expect it to be a girl."
Wu Wenyuan walked over, he looked at Xie Jingxing and said, "I don't know who this is?" ”
Jiang Yan didn't want people to know that she and Xie Jingxing knew each other, so she hurriedly said, "There is no vacancy here, so I will sit with this son." ”
Xie Jingxing didn't say anything with a straight face, and continued to eat his things.
Wu Wenyuan smiled apologetically when he saw that he was not close to anyone, and he said with a little worry: "The girl came out to see the lantern festival alone?" ”
Jiang Yan said: "It's impossible for us to take leave together, but I've seen it almost enough, and I'll go back immediately." ”
Wu Wenyuan said: "The lantern tower of the palace has not been lit yet, and the girl will go back?" ”
Jiang Yan smiled dryly: "For the sake of safety." The inn I booked can also see the light tower. ”
She was in a hurry to send the people away, and said pointedly: "Wu Gongzi must not have come alone, if you have something to do, leave first, don't let people wait." ”
In addition to his family, the people who go to the Lantern Festival are lovers, Wu Wenyuan looks like he has been carefully cleaned up, and he must have come on a date.
Wu Wenyuan's face immediately turned red, "The girl misunderstood, I didn't ......"
Jiang Yan smiled: "I know, it's just a coincidence." I still have to eat, so I won't leave my son. ”
Wu Wenyuan's words were finished by her, so she could only give her leave.
I haven't seen her for a few years, why did the gentle, kind, considerate and intelligent Danyu girl in my memory become narrow?
Wu Wenyuan can recognize Jiang Yan at a glance after many years, of course, not because she has not changed, adolescence is the time when there are great changes.
Wu Wenyuan didn't know how he thought this person was her at first sight when he saw her, probably because he hadn't forgotten her for so many years.
For someone who helped him a lot, or who he had a good impression of, Wu Wenyuan felt that it was not so strange for him to remember her.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would remember it so clearly. Obviously, when he left, he knew very well that it was impossible between them, and there was not much reluctance in his heart.
Jiang Yan only happened to meet an acquaintance, and she was relieved to see Wu Wenyuan disappear into the crowd. She turned her head, saw the empty bowl in front of her, and said in surprise, "How did you eat so quickly?" ”
Xie Jingxing said lightly: "I have no one to catch up, so I can only eat." ”
Jiang Yan said: "What kind of reminiscence, he and I haven't seen each other for several years, and we are almost like strangers." ”
She sighed and said, "The first set of woolen sweaters I gave you back then, I asked him to help me find someone to spin yarn, and now I have nothing to say when we meet." ”
Xie Jingxing looked down at the table and said, "I really didn't expect your relationship to be so good, and it's a pity that you're like this now." ”
Jiang Yan scooped a spoonful of small balls and ate them, and said, "Actually, no, he used to be a merchant, and we met when we were shopping, so we can be regarded as acquaintances." I'm in Jiafu, where can I go to make friends with outsiders? Oh, except for you. ”
She put the spoon down and looked at the rest of the balls, "I knew you liked to eat more, I would have given you more, I still have to save my stomach to eat something else, these are all wasted." ”
Xie Jingxing took her bowl and ate the rest in two bites.
Jiang Yan was dumbfounded and stammered, "That's, that's what I ate." ”
Xie Jingxing said indifferently: "You haven't touched the rest, when I was patrolling the border, I had a pot with my guards, what is this." Waste is not good. ”
Jiang Yan glanced at him sympathetically, Yunzhou is really a place to exercise people, Xie Jingxing has changed from a noble son who never gets tired of eating and boiling to a rough man who can fill his stomach.
I even know not to waste food.
Jiang Yan thought about it, if Jia Baoyu told her that one day she would eat all the food and not waste it, she would definitely feel that he was being worn.
But this kind of Xie Jingxing is more in line with her heart.
