Chapter 33: After Dusk

Song Yao didn't know that someone was slandering her behind her back, and suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose, and said in her heart that she was sick and contracted the wind and cold again, could it be that she had done too much bad things recently.

laid out a piece of rice paper, and was about to pick up a pen to practice calligraphy. saw Xue Yun running in: "Miss, Miss, Mr. Xie has sent a letter." ”

Is it? Song Yao couldn't wait to open the letter.

It reads: Shangyuan Lantern Festival, meet with Qing.

She almost forgot that in two days, it would be the Shangyuan Festival.

At this time of year, the palace maids who live in the palace all the year round will be released to reunite with the family, wet their clothes with tears, and wave goodbye until the figure is out of sight.

A happy family will come out to guess the lantern riddles, the husband carries the child on his back, and the wife smiles and smiles.

And when she was still in Xucheng County, Xie Muyi would also bring the guards to look for her and go to the river to put river lanterns together. Make a wish in the mist of the river, the moonlight ripples, and the sound of oars is sparse.

Time flies so fast, is it another year of Shangyuan Festival?

She wore a simple dress, apricot yellow, without too much decoration, which added a little more gentleness than usual.

It was still early, and Song Yao walked around the lamp market first. The lanterns are all very beautiful and come in many colors. Some of them are printed with solar term songs, some are painted with various animals, there are incense lanterns, there are paper folded lotus river lanterns that can be placed, and there are many artillery battles that children like.

There was a festive atmosphere throughout L.A.

She looked at it carefully, and guessed the lantern riddle with interest.

"Girl, come and see my lamp, this riddle has not yet been guessed, if the girl can guess it, I will give you the best one." This is the lottery that I have been doing for a long time. ”

As he spoke, the peddler pointed to the rabbit lamp hanging at the highest point. The rabbit is snow-white and pink, with long ears that are also pink, two round eyes, and long eyelashes, which is very cute.

The peddler saw that she was a little moved, and said, "Girl, I just have this one lantern riddle, and I also have a color head." And this lamp can also be placed in the river and used as a river lamp. ”

Song Yao thought it was very interesting and read the lantern riddle: "After the begonia blooms, the residual plum falls." ”

This riddle is a bit difficult.

But if you take the strokes apart, the plum is the right half of the sea and the lower half of the tang. If these two parts are removed, the rest of the combination is not ......

"Flow!"

A nice voice came out with Song Yao.

She turned to look behind her, and saw a man wearing a white fox fur cloak, but he was wearing a silver fox mask, and he could not see his face, only the perfect jaw and a pair of phoenix eyes peeking out of the mask.

When Song Yao was puzzled, the man slowly took off his mask, and his phoenix eyes were a little charming under the reflection of the light.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Long time no see, Miss Song San." ”

This is......

Song Yao also smiled: "Xiao Xiaohou Ye." You're here too. ”

Looking at this situation, the hawker must have known each other, and their status was not low. Then he said: "The girl and this boy guessed the riddle at the same time, but I don't know who to give the rabbit lamp to." ”

Xiao Zhi said: "This girl came first, first and last." Besides, I think this rabbit is very suitable for girls. ”

Song Yao arched his hand: "Then thank you little marquis." ”

Xiao Zhi saw that she had taken the rabbit lamp, her smile was bright, her face was happy, and she felt that this was very different from the Song Yao he knew.

The Song Yao he knew was a cunning rabbit who was extremely cunning and resolute. And Song Yao in front of her is a cute little white rabbit who is easy to satisfy and simple.

Which one is the real her?

He said, "Is Miss Song San waiting for someone?" ”

"Yes, so Shu Ayao can't accompany the little marquis to continue to guess the lantern riddle." , Song Yao responded.

"I'm not in a hurry, but I have time to wait with Miss Song San." , Xiao Zhi looked a little scoundrel.

When she saw this, she was very anxious, and she couldn't clearly say that she was waiting for Xie Muyi, so let him not bother.

"The weather is cold, thank you for your kindness, you don't have to accompany me, you can enjoy it."

"I'm not afraid of the cold."

Really...... What a scoundrel!

At this time, fireworks were set off in the sky in the distance, and they were gorgeous and colorful for a while, and it was very beautiful.

"This good time reminds me of a poem." , Xiao Zhi turned to speak: "The lamp tree shines with a thousand lights, and the flower flame opens with seven branches." The moon shadow condenses the streamer, and the spring breeze contains the night plum. ”

Song Yao also remembered Xin Qiji's Qingyu case, so he continued: "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain." BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Zhi felt very good, so he repeated: "Suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light. ”

He turned his head to look at Song Yao, at first he just wanted to say hello to her, but guessed that she was deliberately teasing her after waiting for Xie Mu.

It's just that the two of them actually stood there for half an hour, and they didn't see a single figure.

"Did Miss Song San really make an appointment?" , Xiao Zhi couldn't help but speak.

……

Another half hour passed.

I saw the two of them all looking at the passers-by, one wearing a fox mask and the other holding a rabbit lamp. When two people stand together, they both look good and have a good temperament, so they will take a few more looks.

Song Yao was a little thin dressed today, and she trembled because she had stood for too long. She began to rub her palms together.

Suddenly, she felt a very warm thing covering her, and she suddenly stopped being cold. Raising his head, it turned out that Xiao Xiaohou Ye took off his fox fur cloak at some point and put it on her.

"Miss Song San, don't feel the wind chill again. But will that person really come? ”

Song Yao suddenly said in a slightly cold tone: "Don't wait." I was wronged by the little marquis. ”

"Then you might as well put this river lantern away." , Xiao Zhi smiled: "I've been waiting for a long time with the beauty, can you agree to my request?" ”

"Okay." , Song Yao is also a straightforward person, so he walked to the river with the little marquis.

It was not early, and the people who put the lights on were sparse.

She crouched down and lowered the lamp into the river.

Put your hands together, close your eyes and start praying.

The rabbit lantern gradually drifted into the distance with her wishes, and someone was singing social drama in the distance. Babbling and a long voice.

In the shadow of the oars, Xiao Zhi looked at her pious expression and the silhouette of her eyelashes. Suddenly, there was a bit of a trance.

"Little Hou Ye, it's not too early. Let's go back. Song Yao said.

"I'll send you."

She looked up at Xiao Zhi: "Okay." ”

It's really unpredictable, it's clear that the appointment is for a curtain call, but it is Xiao Xiaohou who accompanies her. Song Yao shook her head.

……

A good night's sleep.

On the second day, I got up early in the morning and received a letter from Xie Muyi, saying that because the people of Chu came to Ningguo yesterday, the princess of Chu participated in the Shangyuan banquet of Ningguo. His Majesty left the crown princes and princes with a few of them.

There is a reason for it, and there are extenuating circumstances.

It's just that someone from Chu came from the country, and the little marquis was not in the palace, but he ran out to enjoy the lanterns and pray with her, which is a trivial matter.

She looked out the window, the sun was good, and said to Zhu Yun, "Get ready, let's go see the eldest sister." ”
