165. Lantern riddle workshop
Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Mu Chujin couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that this flower is a love flower?" ”
"Yes, girl." The shopkeeper slowly explained, "The happy flower is also called the favorite flower, and if you give this flower to your favorite person before tonight, you can make your wishes come true, get the protection of the flower goddess, and be happy." ”
"Oh, I see." Mu Chujin smiled slightly, holding the happy flower in his hand, and gradually became distracted.
When the sun sets, the sun shines brightly, the breeze is gentle, and it is refreshing in the hot summer.
The streets of the imperial capital are already crowded with people at this time, and it can be seen from the crowd that most of them are young people who have not left the cabinet and have not married men, and there are children selling flowers on the side of the road, their faces are red, they are carrying flower baskets in their hands, and their eyes are shining to entertain the big brothers and sisters who buy flowers.
Mu Chujin took a closer look, it turned out that he was buying some light purple flowers and star-horned petals, which were not kitsch or showy, but they had a pure smell, just like a jar of wine, the longer it was left there, the more mellow it became.
"That's the flower of happiness." The man next to him explained, his voice was clean, mellow, and as seductive as the wine.
Mu Chujin said "um" lightly, and suddenly remembered the last few words of the store, and couldn't help blushing, today's festival is similar to the traditional Chinese Qixi Festival, it is a festival between lovers, she wanted to come out to join in the fun, after all, this is the first time to participate in the happy flower festival of Mu Guo, I am a little curious and a little expectant, but because she is not familiar with the place, she wants to find someone to accompany her, she quickly thought of Feng Rongxue, but the relationship between them is unclear, is it a lover? It doesn't seem to be, she is cautious everywhere, there is always a wall between her and him, she can't see him clearly, and she can't guess it. So I dispelled the idea of going with him, who knew that she hadn't opened her mouth yet, Feng Rongxue came to the door by herself, saying that she was taking her out of the house to relax, and to see the lanterns, the Happy Flower Festival not only has beautiful flowers, but also delicate and beautiful lanterns. Hearing what Feng Rongxue said, Mu Chujin couldn't help but be moved, and was about to agree, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again, and after the last moment, he simply shouted out all the faces in the mansion and had a big reunion to enjoy the flower festival.
The lights are dotted, and the flowers are full of shadows.
From the street to the end of the street, a long dragon of lights is connected, and for a time the lights are brilliant and bright as day. The beautiful lanterns flicker in front of you, as if shuttling through the sea of lights.
The young man in Tsing Yi paused on the side of the street, tilted his head slightly to look at the lotus lantern hanging on the thin bamboo, his watery eyes were shining, and his aura was compelling. The long, curved eyelashes leave a shallow shadow under the eyes, blinking down, like a small brush brushing through a person's heart.
"Zimu, do you like it?" The woman in blue stared at the vigorous and handsome face, and asked softly, with a shallow smile in her eyes.
The fair-skinned face turned red, the young man hurriedly lowered his head, his handsome sword eyebrows were raised, and his eyes revealed a little annoyance, he was discovered by her, now he is fourteen years old, and he will be an adult in two years, and he should no longer play with children's things. Gazing deeply at the beautiful lotus lantern, Duan Zimu shook his head firmly: "Sister Mu, I don't want it." ”
Looking at the young man's tangled expression, his eyes turned, Mu Chujin walked to the lantern slowly, his white fingers touched the pink lotus petals, and the dark pupils became brighter and brighter under the light, "Zimu, my sister remembers that your hometown is a famous lotus township, and the lotus there is very beautiful, now should be the season for lotus flowers, my sister wants a few lotus flowers, and you will be allowed to go home tomorrow to help my sister pick them." ”
The soft female voice slowly came into the ears of the young man, and when he heard the two fields of "go home", he immediately raised his head, his dark eyes were filled with excitement, and the princess actually allowed him to go home, which was really good! He didn't expect the princess to let himself go home under such an excuse, and his heart was full of gratitude at the moment.
"Hmm......" The white index finger tapped the corner of the lower lip, Mu Chujin seemed to think for a moment, his eyebrows and eyes curved, "In return, Sister Mu will give you a lotus lantern." ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, received Mu Chujin's inquiring gaze, and nodded hurriedly, two red clouds flew up his cheeks, which made Mu Chujin couldn't help but be motherly, and he wanted to pinch his face, it must feel very good.
Mu Chujin was stunned at Duan Zimu, but the corners of his sleeves were pulled, and he immediately came back to his senses, looked back at Feng Rongxue, and saw a smile on the corner of his lips, faint but very flat, he raised his chin slightly and motioned Mu Chujin to look back.
The puzzled gaze swept over the lanterns on the wooden shelf, and finally fixed on the wooden sign hanging on the shelf, only to see seven big characters written on the upper panel: not for sale, only for viewing. Seeing this, Mu Chujin's eyes almost didn't pop out, she was angry, she finished speaking, she promised to buy it for Duan Zimu, but she didn't expect to kill halfway to bite the gold, and there were three words "not for sale" in a different time and space, how could this be true!
"Shopkeeper, can you sell me this lantern?" Mu Chujin stared at the lotus lantern without blinking.
The middle-aged man looked at the masked girl in front of him, then looked at his own lantern, and said with a smile: "Girl, this lamp is not for sale." ”
With thin eyebrows, Mu Chujin hurriedly said: "Why don't you sell it?" ”
The man was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while. At this time, there was already a circle of people around, most of them were handsome sons with fans, who liked to be vassals and elegant, and were good at dancing and writing.
"Girl, this is the famous lantern riddle shop in the imperial capital! I don't even know how to do this! A young man sneered as he shook his fan.
Mu Chujin glared at the man and read alone, "What is the Lantern Riddle Workshop for?" Could it be ...... Guess the lantern riddle to give the lantern? ”
"yes......"
The people around him chimed in.
"The girl has grown so big, hasn't she ever come out?"
"Haha......"
The sound of laughter rang out, and Mu Chujian's face couldn't help but be red, but fortunately, with a mask, others couldn't see it. Glaring angrily at the surrounding sons, Mu Chujin said angrily: "What's so funny!" Since it's not for sale, guess! He rolled up his sleeves and glared at the middle-aged man angrily: "Shopkeeper, I guessed right, you want to give me the lantern." ”
"Well, it's nature." The man nodded and kindly reminded: "Girl, the reason why we are the most famous lantern riddle shop in the imperial capital is because the lantern riddles here are a little difficult to guess, and they have stumped the four great talents of the imperial capital, so I think ......"
"Alright, alright!" Mu Chujin interrupted impatiently, "I can naturally guess." ”
I can't guess, isn't there still Feng Rongxue?
The people around looked at Mu Chujin's confident appearance, and couldn't help but sneer, how could she guess it as a woman, not to mention that the lantern riddles in the lantern riddle workshop were so difficult, and they had stumped the four great talents of the famous imperial capital, not to mention the little-known girl in front of her! The eyes of the crowd were full of disdain.
