Chapter 144: Starlight
Gu Jinling was silent for a long time.
"You say that something valuable is your poem?"
She admitted that Jiang Sunche's poems are very good and wonderful, but if you want to make money by writing poems, when and how many poems do you have to write? Can you still expect any wronged boss to spend a lot of money?
"Aren't my poems worthless?" Jiang Sunche asked rhetorically.
Gu Jinling turned around and left without a trace of hesitation.
"Wait a while, I didn't say that I used poetry to pay your money, why are you so impatient." Jiang Sunche called Gu Jinling.
"If you play tricks on me again, I'll leave right away." Gu Jinling threw out a useless threat.
"Do you like stars?"
"Huh?" Gu Jinling didn't understand Jiang Sunche's brain circuit for a while.
She looked up at the dark sky, and somehow, there was not a single star to be seen tonight except the moon and the hazy moonlight.
"What? Are you going to use the stars to pay off your debts? Well, I like stars, you can give them to me. Gu Jinling hugged his arms.
"Okay."
Gu Jinling looked at Jiang Sunche with a sneer, thinking that he was fooling people and waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Jiang Sun Che shook his sleeve robe twice and came to the bridge.
"Yancheng jade leaks eight watches, and San'an has a few lights." Jiang Sun Che looked at the night sky in the distance.
'Writing poetry? Thinking that writing poems would be enough to ...... Gu Jinling's thoughts had not yet finished, she saw several lanterns rising to the sky on the other side of the river.
There are more and more of them, one, two, ten, hundred, thousand......
The lanterns were of different colors, red, blue, purple, etc., and most of them had beautiful images on them, all of them were different, but the only thing that was the same was that they were all unusually bright, illuminating the night sky and adding magnificent colors to the dark canvas.
Because there are no stars tonight, it seems that these lanterns are so dreamy and beautiful. Bright.
Gu Jinling didn't know how to describe the scene, she had visited the lantern festival, she knew how beautiful the thousands of lanterns were, but she never thought that these beautiful lanterns could actually fly.
She looked at the lanterns with obsession.
"What's that?" A subordinate in Tai'an City, who had not yet slept, happened to see the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, and looked at it in disbelief, he wiped his eyes repeatedly to make sure that he was not dazzled.
"Come on! Come and see Xiangrui! ”
"Come and worship! I can get good luck! ”
"What's that? Is it a ghost fire?! ”
"What a hell of a fire! Don't you see that beautiful? This must be a fairy apparition! ”
"Aren't ghosts just tempting mortals with beautiful sights?"
"Ahh Come on! ”
When people see the Kong Ming lantern, some people think that it is auspicious from the sky, and the gods appear to the spirits, and they bow their heads and pray for blessings.
Some people think that it is a ghost and a demonic practice, like a headless fly, hiding everywhere.
However, whether they regard Kong Ming Lantern as a god or a monster, they will always remember tonight, this cloudless night with no stars.
"The night is sleepless, and the beauty is stargazing." The corners of Jiang Sun Che's mouth were slightly hooked.
"This poem is called Ya Shi Qiao's Gift to His Wife, do you like the 'star' I gave you?"
Jiang Sunche's question made Gu Jinling come back to his senses, "This ......"
Before she finished her words, Qi Lingqiao and the others rushed over, talking nonsense, even more excited than Gu Jinling.
"One by one, you guys are too noisy." Jiang Sun Che did not hide the smile on the corner of his mouth at all.
"How did you do that? Why do these lanterns fly? I obviously watched you do it, but I didn't see you use any special means? Qi Lingqiao was the first to open his mouth, and as soon as he spoke, he exposed the matter of his union with Jiang Sun Che.
However, the other ladies were also surprised, completely ignoring the second half of the sentence, and their attention was all on the first half of the sentence, looking at Jiang Sun Che with blank eyes, waiting for him to give an answer.
"You'll find out if you try it yourself."
As soon as the words fell, Mei Cailu floated over with a large string of Kong Ming lanterns, and after putting the lanterns down, they disappeared immediately.
Just now, she was the microphone that passed the signal to the people on the other side of the river.
And the signal was Jiang Sun Che's two sleeves he shook up.
It's a pity not to send the courier. Jiang Sun Che glanced at Mei Cailu enviously.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" When Jiang Sun Che swept away the superfluous distractions from his mind and looked back at the ladies, he found that Jiang Miaoyu had already dismantled two Kong Ming lanterns, which were still powdered, and even the paper was torn.
The other ladies didn't stop it, but helped together.
Fortunately, Jiang Sunche found it in time, otherwise these ten or so Kong Ming lanterns would not be able to escape the poison.
"What the hell do you do?" Jiang Miaoyu asked eagerly.
Jiang Sunche didn't answer, slowly took out the fire fold from his arms, and blew a breath.
The fire fold immediately ignited an open flame.
"Look."
Jiang Sun Che picked up a Kong Ming lantern, lit the kerosene inside with a fire breaker, and then put it on the ground.
The ladies all watched intently, but after waiting for a while, Kong Minglan did not react.
Huang Meiyu, who was the most impatient, couldn't help but open her mouth, "Can you have something to say, you ...... like this?"
She suddenly closed her mouth because she saw the Kong Ming lantern faltering and slowly floating.
The Kong Ming lantern floated higher and higher, and flew more and more steadily, and finally broke away from the ground and flew towards the moon.
"You can't use some kind of spell, do you?" Qi Lingqiao's surprised mouth couldn't close.
"Then shouldn't you come to meet me, a fairy?" Jiang Sun Che said jokingly.
His tone made the ladies lose that kind of surprise.
"It's actually very simple, you guys come here." Jiang Sunche lit another Kong Ming lantern.
"You put your hands here." Jiang Sun Che grabbed Yan Zirui, who was closest to him, and held her hand and placed it in the small hole under Kong Ming's lantern.
Yan Zirui blushed a little, but quickly recovered.
"Windy?" She turned her head to look at Jiang Sun Che, wondering where the wind came from.
"To put it simply, it is the kerosene that heats the air in the lamp, and the air expands by the heat and squeezes outward, and it ...... Forehead...... You can understand that it is the heat produced by kerosene that makes the lamp fly. ”
Jiang Sunche originally wanted to explain the principle of Kong Ming lantern.
But when he found that the ladies were all looking at him with a confused face, he remembered that the education he received was different, and it was really difficult to explain the principle of this Kong Ming lantern, so he decisively changed his rhetoric.
'Nine years of compulsory education is really the greatest existence of this century. Jiang Sun Che sighed secretly.
"I see." The ladies had the same expressions on their faces.
"Don't you want to try it?"
Tao Youqin and the others looked left and right for a while, and then stepped back together and let Gu Jinling out.
Jiang Sunche made tonight's incident in order to apologize to Gu Jinling, tonight, she is the protagonist, even if Tao Youqin and the others are interested in Kong Mingdeng, they will not fight.
Gu Jinling glanced at the sisters gratefully, and she understood their thoughts.
She took the fire fold with some trepidation and leaned over to the edge of the Kong Ming lantern, but she didn't dare to light it for a long time.
Although Jiang Sunche had already explained the principle of the Kong Ming lantern just now, and also lit a Kong Ming lantern in front of them, after all, Gu Jinling was in contact with it for the first time, and she was still a little afraid of this 'mysterious' lantern.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be with you."
Jiang Sunche came behind Gu Jinling, held her right hand holding the fire fold with his right hand, slowly approached the Kong Ming lantern, and finally lit it.
After igniting it, Gu Jinling hurriedly took two steps back, looking at the Kong Ming lantern that was still in the preparation stage expectantly and uneasily.
It didn't take long for Kong Ming's lantern to take off wakily.
Gu Jinling clapped her hands excitedly, happy like a three-year-old child, and her eyebrows and eyes smiled into a perfect crescent moon.
After the excitement, she reacted, Jiang Sunche had been sticking behind her, so she hurriedly pulled away two steps.
"What's the name of this lamp?" Gu Jinling wanted to ease the current atmosphere and asked.
"I didn't tell you."
"When did you tell me?"
"I said I was going to give you stars, of course it's called star lanterns."
Jiang Sun Chetian shamelessly changed the name of Kong Mingdeng.
"Uncle Zhuge , I'm sorry, you have a lot of adults, you definitely won't care about this little thing, right? Right. ’
