Chapter 193: Visiting the Lantern Festival
"Dong'er, I remember the first time we met was during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?" Walking in the bustling crowd, Lin Yu opened his mouth to look around, his eyes full of curiosity Dong'er asked.
"Well, yes, I was still pretending to be a ghost to scare my son at that time, hehe. Dong'er is very well-behaved, and when she sees some novelties, she just steps forward to fiddle with them, but she doesn't ask for them, but the love in her eyes can't escape Lin Yu's eyes at all.
"This hairpin is quite suitable for you, come, put it on and take a look. Seeing Dong'er stopping in front of a stall selling jewelry, Lin Yu naturally knew that her daughter's family loved beauty.
"Childe has a good eye, the villain is the whole stall, this hairpin is the most precious, you look at the color of this glass, as well as the bright silver and sapphire plated on the surface, tsk, some time ago a big boss asked me to collect, I didn't sell it. Seeing that Lin Yu personally put the hairpin on the head of the beautiful girl next to him, the stall owner expected that the boy in front of him liked the girl very much, and he naturally added some fuel and vinegar to his mouth.
"Dare to ask the boss, how much is this hairpin?"
"I think Gongzi is also a person who knows goods, so I will be cheaper, just one or two gold. The stall owner rolled his eyes and spoke.
"Ah, a tael of gold, Childe, I don't want it, where is this hairpin worth this price. When Dong'er heard this, she immediately became anxious. One tael of gold is equal to eight taels of silver, and it is more than ten taels of broken silver, and ordinary people can only earn this number even if they don't eat or drink for half a year.
"Hehe, Dong'er likes it. However, boss, I only have eight taels of broken silver here, you can sell it to me cheaply, just make a friend. Lin Yu took out the silver from his pocket, for him, in fact, one or two gold is nothing. There are still a few pieces of gold leaves in his bag, but after all, he is out of the house, and his wealth is not exposed, so Lin Yu usually just goes to the silver number, and he can exchange it for enough silver taels.
"This, the little one. The stall owner looked embarrassed, but his heart had already blossomed.
"Hehe, if the stall owner is unwilling, then I won't force it. Lin Yu said, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, forget it, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is the time when talented and beautiful women express their love for each other, so I will suffer a little loss, which can be regarded as wishing the two of you a good moon. ”
"Thank you very much. Lin Yu smiled, handed the silver taels to the stall owner, picked up the hairpin and put it on Dong'er's hair.
Dong'er blushed and let Lin Yu do it, especially the stall owner's words of wishing the two of them a good moon made her heart like a deer. It's just that for Lin Yu, this is just a polite remark from the stall owner, so he doesn't have any plans.
Of course, when the stall owner snickered and made a small fortune, Lin Yu was also satisfied. Because this finely made hairpin may not be expensive elsewhere, but the spars embedded in the two tiny iron chains hanging down from the hairpin are worth it.
It's just that the spar is clearly an obsidian blue crystal rich in water elements. This kind of thing from Pang Tong's mouth is actually very rare to see on the market, especially for people who don't know the art of Taoism, it is just a good-looking stone with a hint of sky blue in white. In addition, the production is extremely scarce, so many people do not know its value.
However, this stone is the most suitable for people like Dong'er who cultivate the true qi of water, just like the Tree King Core Bracelet that Lin Yu gave to Nan Tingfang at the beginning, it has an extraordinary good effect on people with the same attributes.
"Childe ......" Dong'er lowered her head and looked guilty, thinking that her curiosity had caused Lin Yu to spend a lot of money.
"Hehe, Dong'er likes it. Lin Yu didn't say anything, just paced towards a brighter place in the distance.
Looking at Lin Yu's slender back, Dong'er gently touched the hairpin on his head, and his big eyes were actually brighter than the lights in the distance......
Last night, the lights were like day, and the smile was like a flower. Although Lin Yu is not as slender as Nangong Ming, his figure is quite slender, especially the ape arm bee waist and a pair of starry eyebrows, which is more handsome and free in a white Confucian suit. If it weren't for the sword at his waist and the folding fan, others would really think that the son-in-law of which family came out to hang out.
The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival has been a place for talented and beautiful women to meet since ancient times, and on the crowded night market, Lin Yu is naturally also frequently sent by some girls. However, after seeing a delicate girl in pink beside him, especially the girl with a pair of big sparkling eyes, these women who were in the age of Huaichun were finally discouraged.
"Childe, will I delay your good deeds by following you? Dong'er is as careful as a hair, naturally knows what is happening next to him, Rao is Lin Yu pretended to watch the things on the shop pù stall so as not to be misunderstood by Dong'er, but after all, he is a young man with a weak crown, feeling the fiery gaze of the opposite sex, he is naturally quite throbbing.
"Nonsense, go, guess the riddles. Lin Yu's face was pale, and the feeling of being guessed by the other party made him quite uncomfortable.
"Squeak!" Xiao Bai drilled a small head from Lin Yu's neckline, looking at the colorful lanterns, his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Five or six brothers sat around the column, and when everyone parted, their clothes were torn. "Dong'er walked to an ancestral hall, which was already surrounded by many young men and women, these young people came here in groups of three or five to guess the lantern riddles, in addition to having fun, showing their wisdom for the opposite sex is also the purpose,
In the hall of the ancestral hall, there are dozens of beautiful palace lamps, and a lampshade made of purple wood and silk encloses a section of red candles inside. The candlelight shines through the various colored silks, just enough to illuminate the riddle handwriting embroidered on it.
This ancestral hall is not big, but it is full of people. Dong'er finally bought one from a stall owner who looked a little sloppy in the hall.
"Childe, what is this mystery?" As soon as Dong'er opened his mouth at this moment, he naturally attracted the attention of others, after all, that palace lamp cost dozens of yuan, and not anyone can buy it at will. Many people here are reluctant to spend money to buy them, but they can guess the lantern riddle together after waiting for someone to buy it.
"When everyone breaks up, their clothes are torn...... This puzzle is immoral. Lin Yu frowned, quite displeased.
"Oh, people finally bought it, guess it, hehe, can't our erudite Lin Gongzi guess?" Dong'er blinked playfully, and the sweet and glutinous voice immediately sounded.
This time, not only attracted the attention of others, but also some people followed suit. Lin Yu was helpless, and secretly sighed that the power of the beauty was really big enough.
"Garlic......" Lin Yu looked at the excited Dong'er in front of him weakly, and said listlessly.
"Garlic? yes, it's garlic. Several cloves of garlic sit together, and if they are separated, the outer layer of garlic skin will be torn. Childe is so smart, hehe. Dong'er smiled, turned around and took the palace lamp to find the stall owner in the hall and ask for a gift.
According to the rules, whoever is the first to guess the lantern riddle can naturally ask the stall owner for all kinds of novelties placed under the hall.
"There are holes but no insects, there are nests but no peaks, there are silkworms without silkworms, and there are no people with umbrellas!"
"Lotus root, the lotus root we eat......"
Just when others were frowning and guessing, the riddles that appeared continuously in Dong'er's hand were all guessed by Lin Yu. This directly leads to the stall owner's strange vision, if the young lady in front of her has always guessed, her own business can not be said to be a loss or a profit.
"There is a white fat man living in a hemp house, a red tent. "Peanut" ......
"Little Zhuge Liang, sitting alone in the military tent, forming a gossip array, and focusing on flying generals. "Spider" ......
Just when others applauded Lin Yu's wit and swiftness, the sloppy stall owner quit. At this moment, Dong'er's arms are already full of rouge, pancreas, spices, combs and other things, if this continues, the gifts that the stall owner has placed under the hall to attract visitors will be won out.
"I said this son, you are erudite and witty, and you admire it tightly. But after all, this is a small business, and if you continue like this, I will lose money. Otherwise, if this lady likes it, she will pick two or three gifts at will, but I can't sell palace lanterns and riddles anymore. The stall owner accompanied the smiling face and got up to block Dong'er's gaze as she continued to look for the lantern riddle.
"Hehe, then we won't guess anymore. However, I heard that you have a local accent, can you tell sù in this furnace imperial city, where can I buy a satisfactory weapon?" Lin Yu smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Dong'er, who wanted to step forward and pick up the lamp.
"Well, this, there are all kinds of weapons in the weapons street in the east of the city, and the Baofeng weapons store is quite famous in our place, so you can go and have a look. The stall owner thought about it for a moment and blurted out.
"So, if you're tired, let's go. Lin Yu nodded slightly at the stall owner, then turned around and pulled Dong'er, who was still unsatisfied, out of the hall under the strange gaze of people, and turned around and walked towards the Weapons Street in the east......
However, just as Lin Yu was about to enter the door of the Baofeng Weapons Store, his eyes were attracted by a stall not far away.
In addition to the shops in this weapon street, there are also many people who directly put weapons on display for sale. However, the one sitting on the ground in front of him, with only one sword on the stall, is the only one.
Moreover, the appearance of this sword is really not attractive enough, and some of the heavy sword bodies are not carved with patterns, and as a sword, the two most important characteristics of lightness and carving are not available. What's more, this sword doesn't even have a sword grid, and it actually goes directly to the hilt under the sword body.
"Boss, how much does your sword sell?" Lin Yu stood in front of him and opened his mouth to ask.
"Well, a hundred taels of gold. The stall owner was a more sloppy old man than the one just now, sitting cross-legged on the ground and pretending to sleep, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yu, and replied impatiently.
"A hundred taels, or gold? No wonder you can't sell it. When Dong'er heard the other party's offer, her shocked mouth couldn't close anymore. Although she had only been away from home for a short time, she had never heard of such an expensive sword, and besides, this sword was not necessarily an expensive thing.
"Can I give it a try?" Lin Yu didn't know why, facing the sword lying quietly there in front of him, it was as if a voice was urging him in his heart, driving him to stretch out his hand.
"Wait, this thing is only appreciable and untouchable. When the old man saw Lin Yu stretching out his hand, he hurriedly raised his arm to stop it.
