There is a custom in Yudu City, a lantern festival will be held every month on the full moon, it is very lively, at that time, both men and women, will go to the street to play, enjoy the lanterns, put the lanterns.
After dinner, Yu Shuqi took Xiyun and his party out to enjoy the lanterns. Out of the house, Xiyun saw that on the street, there were already many people carrying various colored lights, coming and going, this scene was very beautiful.
They also joined these pedestrians, followed the one with more people and walked forward, only to see all kinds of small stalls on both sides of the street, many of which sold lanterns, before Xiyun spoke, Yu Shuqi had already taken their group to a lantern shop, different from the scattered small stalls outside, the lanterns here are hanging noodles in the corners of the store, and the Xiyun is a little dazzled.
A flower-shaped lamp attracts the attention of Xiyun, this flower lamp is made of blue and pink cherry blossom petals, layered on top of each other, in the middle of the candle center, under the light of the light, it seems that the cherry blossoms continue to bloom from it, it is very gorgeous.
"Shopkeeper, I want this lantern." Xiyun pointed to the cherry blossom lantern and said to the boss.
"Girl, you want this cherry blossom lantern, I'm sorry, this lamp is custom-made by guests, not for sale."
Yu Shuqi saw Xiyun's face a little disappointed, and hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, can you customize the same for us." ”
"I'm really sorry for the guest officer, tonight, we are too busy to be separated and do not accept customization. In addition, the production process of this lantern is complicated, and it is difficult to make it for a while. Guest officer, you can take a look at other lanterns. ”
"Sister Xiyun, let's go to other places to see, maybe, there will be the same." Yu Shuqi said comfortingly.
"Well, that's fine." Xiyun and the others were about to walk out of the light shop, and the shopkeeper said to them as he walked towards the door. "Look, the boy who ordered the lantern is here."
Xiyun They are also very curious, who customizes this unique lantern, it stands to reason that there is no cherry blossom tree in this Yudu City, who will deliberately customize a cherry blossom lantern here.
Seeing the person coming, Xiyun was first shocked, this person was not the injured man in black that they rescued on the road that day, and when they got closer, Xiyun realized that this person was only similar to the man in black, but it was not the same person. Moreover, this person is much younger than the man in black, and his face has not yet taken off his childishness.
It turned out that this person was none other than Xiao Jinghao, the little marquis who had gone to Cloud City to participate in the "cherry blossom viewing party". He is the only son of the eldest son of the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, the eldest son of the emperor Xiao Jingyu is young and frail and sickly, and after marrying as an adult, he gave birth to this Xiao Jinghao, and died within a few years. The Tang Emperor took pity on his young grandson and grew up with him since he was a child. It is rumored that this emperor is arrogant and domineering, doing everything, and is a little overlord of the world.
"Guest officer, you are here, this lantern, but many people like it and want to sell it, and the girl who just went out also wants this lantern. However, this is custom-made, and I didn't give it up easily. ”
Hearing the shopkeeper say that the girl, he came in just now, as if he saw a group of people, and there was a woman among them who made people look comfortable. He whispered a few words to the guards beside him, and then handed him the lantern in his hand. The guards chased them out with lanterns.
didn't run far, the guards caught up with Xiyun and them, he blocked their way, handed the lantern in his hand to Xiyun and them, and said expressionlessly, "Here, this is our master for you." ”
Xiyun looked at the person who was suddenly blocking in front of them, this person was very puzzled, and looked in the direction pointed by the guard, this was not the owner of the lantern just now, at this time, he was standing outside the lantern shop, waving to them.
"Miss, isn't this the lantern you just fancied?" Ning Xiang saw the lantern in the guard's hand and took it unceremoniously.
Before Xiyun and the others could react, the guards at the lamp delivery ground had already left.
"You, dare to take anything, and sell you carefully." Xiyun looked at Ning Xiang with a happy face, and wanted to tease her, so he pretended to be serious and said.
"Miss, you can't sell me for this lamp." When Ning Xiang heard that Xiyun was going to sell her, she still had the heart to look at the lamp, and looked at Xiyun pitifully, tears were about to fall.
"If you want to sell, people may not be willing to accept it, come with me." Ning Xiang followed behind Xiyun with an aggrieved face, and the group returned to the lamp shop.
"This son, thank you for the gift, but we can't take away the son's love, please take back the lantern." After Xiyun said that, he made a look at Ning Xiang, and Ning Xiang immediately returned the lamp to the guard.
"Girl, it's serious, although you and I have never met, we can be called bosom friends, isn't it a beautiful thing to give lanterns to beautiful women." When Xiyun saw this man, his eyes were clear and sincere, and he had a little more good feelings.
She also likes the lantern very much, since people are willing to cut their love, why don't she buy it with money, so she said. "The word bosom friend, I don't dare to be it, since the son is willing to cut his love, I am willing to buy it with money, please ask the son to make a price."
"Offer? This lamp is priceless, only for bosom friends. Xiao Jinghao shook the folding fan in his hand, looking calm and relaxed.
"And so, we're going to take our leave." After Xiyun finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xiao Jinghao didn't expect that Xiyun would leave like this, so he hurriedly chased after him, and he opened his arms to block in front of Xiyun.
"Hey, you little hairy boy, why are you in our way?" Yu Shuqi on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to push away this pestering guy.
"You're not much older than me, why do you call me a little hairy boy, besides, I didn't stand in your way, please leave by yourself, don't send it." Xiao Jinghao shot back without showing weakness.
"You didn't see that we were together." Yu Shuqi pointed at Xiyun and them, and then pointed at himself.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see it, I only have this sister in my eyes."
"You don't know what to do, you look like you're not cleaning up."
Xiyun saw the two of them, where are you and I say a word, and they don't back down from each other. Poof, he laughed out loud, pulled back Yu Shuqi, and saw that Xiao Jinghao was not malicious, so he said, "In this way, you give me the lantern, and you also go to the lantern festival with us, wait, if you see something you like, I will buy it for you, okay?" ”
"Sister, it's naturally good to give me a gift." Xiao Jinghao was overjoyed when he saw Xiyun inviting him to swim with him.
There was a disturbance on Xiyun's side, and all of them were seen by Xiao Jingyu behind him. He himself was shocked that at some point, her every move was pulling his gaze.
