Street Meetings (3)

I don't know when, the afterglow of the sunset is also engulfed in the night, the prosperous Qiandu has pulled up the bright curtain, the evening breeze is light, tonight is particularly charming, the crescent moon hangs high, the stars surround one after another, making a picture of the bright moon and stars that people can't take their eyes off.

Even if Nanquan is the smallest, it is also the happiest country among the four countries, and at night it is comparable to the liveliness of the day, and the poet Yashi recites poetry, and the ordinary people are not the same as the young lady of the family, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

"Mu Chuyan, stop me!"

Not far away, a gentle man in a dark green brocade robe circled the crowd, while calling out to the woman in purple who was about to flash in front of her, but there were too many people, and the woman in purple disappeared in the crowd for a while with her light posture, and was never seen again.

Mu Ling's expression was helpless and worried, knowing that this girl would slip away, so she shouldn't believe her nonsense.

"Young master, how is this good, there are too many people tonight, will the young lady be in danger?" Qin Zhu finally chased after him, panting with his waist crossed, and some fleshy little faces were full of worry like Mu Ling.

Mu Ling frowned, looking at the direction where Mu Chuyan disappeared: "She, it's okay, this girl is getting more and more uncontrollable, you follow up, maybe you will run into it, don't worry too much, she has her own secret guards around her, I'll go back to the house to deal with some official business first." ”

Qin Zhu answered, and followed with a step.

Mu Chuyan here saw that no one was following behind, so he slowed down, if her brother was there, she was not allowed to play this or that, it was too boring. Although I know that I will definitely be done when I go back, I will not be scolded, but the street will be rare once a year, and it must be fun.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Mu Chuyan has come out to go shopping, and in the first two years, he was locked up in the house.

Mu Chuyan stepped on a brisk pace, looking curiously from east to west, I have to say that it is really a feast for the eyes, every scene and scene are incomparable to the prosperity of modern cities.

As we walked, the flow of people in front of us slowly became crowded.

The more people there are, it must be very interesting, thinking about it, Mu Chuyan drilled to the front from between the cracks, and what came into front of him was a very large movable wooden car, on which were hung with a lot of various lanterns, even if they were a little far away, it was not difficult to see that those lanterns were very exquisitely made, and there were lantern riddles written on red paper hanging under the lanterns, two whole layers, and an old woman who was a little older but still in spirit stood in the center of the first floor.

Mu Chuyan looked at it for a while, and saw that no one around stepped forward to guess the lantern riddle, and was a little puzzled, when an extremely clear voice sounded next to him, which penetrated into Mu Chuyan's ears, as clean and beautiful as a clear spring.

It is said that Granny Lin was a young lady of a family, but she did not like her marriage at the mercy of others, so she cut off contact with her family, and met her lover when she escaped from the pursuit of the Lin family, and since then she has lived a happy time, but her lover died early, and Granny Lin made lanterns and set up a lantern riddle, which contains Granny Lin's thoughts about her husband, Among them, there is a lamp called phoenix-tailed purple kite is the head of the group of lights, each time the lantern riddle is different, no one guesses the lantern riddle, in previous years, Granny Lin's whereabouts are erratic, this year is to come to Nanquan, you can still guess. ”

The man didn't know when he was standing on Mu Chuyan's left side, Mu Chuyan turned his head to see what he looked like, his voice was so good, but when he turned his head, he just saw an ordinary young face that couldn't be more ordinary, and he was well dressed, Mu Chuyan pouted, thinking that his voice was so good, he would be a beautiful man!

Mu Chuyan smiled and pointed to the front: "Why didn't Childe come forward to guess, I just listened to Childe's description and use appropriate words, presumably the style is not much worse, you might as well give it a try." ”

The man smiled lightly: "I just heard others talk about it, the original saying is just to listen to the young lady to solve the doubts, speaking of literary talent, I don't know much about it, not to mention that they are all some daughter's things, it's useless to get it in the down, the girl can try it for the first time." ”

Mu Chuyan saw the phoenix lantern hanging above, and he also liked it a little, anyway, he came out to play, so he could try it.

I just wanted to say thank you, but I found that the man was gone, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Under the eyes of many people around her, curious, watching jokes or watching the excitement is not a big deal, Mu Chuyan walked in front of Granny Lin and politely said hello first.

Granny Lin's face was very kind, looking at the delicate little girl in front of her, she also had a lot of good feelings in her heart: "I don't know the girl's surname." ”

"My surname is Mu."

Granny Lin nodded: "Guess the lamp needs to pay ten taels of gold first, which one does Miss Mu want, I will go and get it, old woman." ”

Mu Chuyan glanced around, it seemed that all that could be seen was the lantern hanging high, it emitted a fiery orange and slightly golden light, the whole body was realistic and smooth, and the top of the nine tail wings faintly lacked a purple-gold streamer, which made people instantly forget the dazzling of other lanterns at a glance and be attracted by it.

After Mu Chuyan took out ten taels of gold from his sleeve and handed it to Granny Lin, her slender hand pointed directly at the phoenix-tailed purple kite at the top: "Mother-in-law, can you take off the phoenix-tailed purple kite." ”

As her words fell, everyone's eyes turned, and they all gasped, since Granny Lin made the lamp, no one has been able to take it away, this little girl has a big appetite.

And Granny Lin was only stunned for a moment, and then nodded calmly, but in a moment, she took off the phoenix-tailed purple kite, spread out the vermilion rice paper, and read aloud: "The word is extraordinary only four strokes, no horizontal, no straight, no hook, the emperor wants to get up when he sees it, and the saint wants to give a salute when he sees it, guess a word, that's all." The girl might answer?"

Granny Lin spoke calmly, and at the same time gave Mu Chuyan a step down, if she wasn't there, no one would say ugly gossip.

Mu Chuyan closed her eyes and sorted out the order of the anagrams, even if she lived an ordinary life in the previous life, but ancient Chinese history and culture can be regarded as one of her few preferences, and the original owner Mu Chuyan was a talented woman who stayed at home, guessed this riddle, but after a little thought, he replied: "This word is the father, the father is obedient, the children are filial, this word should be worshiped by His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Granny Lin nodded appreciatively, a little emotional, she set up this riddle, all because she was ashamed of her father, she didn't know anything when she was young, she escaped from home, and she was most ashamed of her father who raised herself and pampered her since she was a child.

"Miss Mu is so literate, the most ashamed person in my life is my father, Miss Mu has answered the riddle of the phoenix-tailed purple kite, and this lamp belongs to Miss Mu." Granny Lin approached Mu Chuyan with a phoenix-tailed purple kite, the lamp flashed with a subtle light, Granny Lin put away the surprise in her heart, and handed it to her while leaving a word that only she could hear.

Mu Chuyan bowed his head and smiled lightly. Pick up the lights and walk out of the crowd.

The people watching hadn't reacted yet, how long had it been from Mu Chuyan's answer to taking the lamp, and when he was relieved, the person had disappeared in place, and everyone said a word, vowing to know which young lady this talented girl was.

Mu Chuyan took the lamp to the most prosperous restaurant in Qiandu, Yuhua Building, this restaurant can not afford to be a high-ranking official and noble, and the meal is expensive, of course, according to Mu Chuyan's words, the taste of the service dishes here is absolutely first-class, and it should be done, and the people behind it are more than a thousand dollars every day.

Tonight's street meeting, Yuhua Building was overcrowded, Mu Chuyan finally found a place by the window to sit down, ordered a meal for one person, and thought carefully about what Granny Lin said, "This lamp is related to the girl, but you must protect and cherish it." When he turned his head to look at the street scene, a hand with warm pink sleeves snatched the phoenix-tailed purple kite in an instant, Mu Chuyan grabbed the man's arm very quickly, but he had no martial arts, and he was still short for a moment...
