On the day of the Lantern Festival, except for Gu Yunxiao, who wanted to stay at home with Zheng Xiuyun, the rest of the Gu family went out collectively when the lanterns were on, and the family went to see the Lantern Festival together.

At night, the streets of Huating County are brightly lit up with all kinds of lanterns, and in the bustling crowd, the hawkers shout and shout one after another, mixed with the laughter of naughty children and the scolding of parents. Under the busy lights, a layer of light gauze is soft and faint on the smiling faces, enveloping the bubbling popularity in this winter.

The same lantern festival, Lantern Festival and Qixi Festival are different, people at this moment are still in the lively afterglow of the New Year, full of happiness and joy, are ready to enjoy the joy of traveling with their families again at the end of this Spring Festival.

Although Gu Yunqiao has been much more calm and reserved in the past two years, he can't help but be infected by such a lively and festive atmosphere at this moment, awakening the liveliness and jumping out of the depths of his heart. She opened a pair of bright and clear eyes, and pulled Gu Yunji to look east and west, her face full of curiosity and excitement.

"Brother!" Gu Yunqiao tugged at Gu Yunji's sleeve, staring at a stall without blinking, "There are a few small lanterns over there, so beautiful!" ”

Gu Yunji rarely saw her sister so happy, seeing her showing a rare little daughter posture at this time, a softness rose in her heart, and she gently stroked the top of her hair: "Then let's go and see." ”

As he spoke, Gu Yunji took Gu Yunqiao to the front of the stall, turned his head sideways and asked, "Which one do you like?" If I like my brother, I'll buy it for you. ”

Gu Yunqiao was dazzled by the dazzling array of gadgets here, and the lanterns that he had just taken a fancy to him were not very brilliant in comparison, so he became entangled and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Gu Yunji didn't urge, just waited for her to pick slowly. Slightly bored waiting, he was suddenly attracted by a bracelet in the corner.

This is a smoky blue crystal bracelet, exquisitely clear, with a clear texture, looking elegant and plain.

Looking at this bracelet, Gu Yunji suddenly remembered Xu Shuhua's wrist, which was white and delicate, like a jade shoot. Such dexterous and white hands, if they are paired with this crystal bracelet, it should look even better.

Thinking like this, Gu Yunji immediately bought the crystal bracelet and carefully put it in the box and put it away.

Here, Gu Yunqiao finally picked out a cute rabbit lamp, but when she turned around, she found that Gu Yunji had bought a bracelet in the style of a woman, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Brother, what are you doing with this kind of bracelet worn by girls?" Is it for whom? ”

was asked by Gu Yunqiao, Gu Yunji was a little embarrassed: "I want to give someone as a gift." ”

Glancing at the tips of his blushing ears, Gu Yunqiao's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother, should you be...... Someone's in my heart, right? ”

Gu Yunji's hand holding the box tightened, buried his head embarrassedly, and said hesitantly: "Yes, yes...... It's someone who likes it. ”

Gu Yunqiao was taken aback, and asked with some concern: "Brother, you have been staying in the academy all the year round, and you haven't had much contact with girls from big families, you won't be fooling around outside and being bewitched by some hook girl, right?" ”

"What do you say?" Gu Yunji glared at her dissatisfied, "She is a lady from a serious family, talented and cultivated, dignified and beautiful, how can she be compared with a woman in Goollan?" ”

Hearing him say this, Gu Yunqiao relaxed slightly, but when he remembered Gu Yunji's appearance when he bought the bracelet just now, he didn't think so, and said disapprovingly: "Since this is the case, my brother should show his father and mother, and ask his parents to go to propose marriage in a bright way, instead of recklessly giving any bracelets, which looks frivolous!" ”

Gu Yunji looked down at the brocade box containing the bracelet in his arms, and muttered, "This is how it should be." But I'm not worthy of anyone right now, so I don't dare to go and propose. I'll buy this bracelet back and put it away, and when I get admitted to the Jinshi and marry her in the future, I'll give it to her generously. ”

"Ouch, my silly brother!" Gu Yunqiao poked his head with his finger with hatred, "Look at you, your soul has been snatched away!" Since you say that you are not worthy of others, it won't be your wishful thinking, in this unrequited love, right? ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunji instantly raised his head and said confidently: "I don't have unrequited love!" The two of us have the same heart, she, she is also pleasing to me......"

Being stared at by Gu Yunqiao like this, Gu Yunji became more and more embarrassed the more she spoke, and her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she simply turned her head and avoided her sight.

Gu Yunqiao looked funny, and relentlessly followed Gu Yunji's movements, and looked at his lowered eyes: "Brother, look at your unpromising appearance!" Which girl is it that makes you so tempted, you tell me about it? As for what is worthy of it, maybe you are arrogant, what if the girl doesn't mean it? ”

Gu Yunji's face was as red as a ripe shrimp, and the roots of his ears were shy pink, he turned sideways to avoid his sister's burning gaze, touched his nose with a cover, and prevaricated: "You don't care what you do so much, and now it's still nothing." Maybe when you have a sweetheart, you won't be better than me! ”

"Ah, father and mother have come so far! Let's stop talking, let's keep up! Gu Yunji looked up at the front, and after pretending to say such a sentence, without waiting for Gu Yunqiao to react, he raised his legs and walked forward quickly, his movements were quite a bit of a deserted escape.

Gu Yunqiao, who stayed in place, shook his head and smiled, and was about to keep up with his footsteps, when he was suddenly hit by a sudden flow of people, and when he avoided left and right, Gu Yunji was already gone.

"Brother!" Gu Yunqiao shouted from afar, but did not get a response, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. She wanted to push away the crowd in front of her, but she was squeezed farther away by several streams of people, and between the pushes, Gu Yunqiao's body was unstable, and she was about to fall to the ground.

"Miss Gu beware." At this time, a warm voice came from behind her, and Gu Yunqiao felt that her back was gently supported by an arm, with just the right amount of force, stabilizing her shaky body.

Then the hand was quickly retracted, and the gentleman was polite again, without the slightest superfluous movement.

After standing still, Gu Yunqiao turned around and found a clear young man with a familiar face standing, and she asked with some uncertainty: "...... Cheng Gongzi? ”

Cheng Yan smiled slightly: "It's just that I met at the wedding banquet of Grand Prince Gu last year, but I didn't expect that Miss Gu still remembered the name below." ”

Gu Yunqiao sorted out Fang Cai's somewhat flustered thoughts, and blessed him: "Thank you Cheng Gongzi for helping him just now." ”

Cheng Yan bowed his head and said politely: "It's just a gesture, Miss Gu doesn't have to say thank you." ”

Gu Yunqiao saw that Cheng Yan was alone, and couldn't help asking, "Is Cheng Gongzi here to visit the Lantern Festival alone?" ”

Cheng Yan said: "Originally, I also traveled with my family, but I saw Yun Ji here from a distance before, so I came over alone to say a few words to him, but I didn't expect to see Miss Gu." ”

"Qiaoqiao, are you alright?"

At this time, Gu Yunji, who had not waited for his sister, turned back uneasily, and when he saw that his sister was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Cheng Yan next to him with some surprise: "Cheng Yan? Why are you here? ”

Cheng Yan said: "I saw you from a distance over there just now, so I wanted to come over and say hello to you, but I didn't expect to be dispersed by the crowd." ”

"Oh, that's right." Gu Yunji didn't dwell on it anymore, "I can't find where my father and mother have gone at this time." In that case, why don't we travel together? ”

Cheng Yan agreed with a smile: "Naturally, there is no problem." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunqiao had no opinion. So the three of them walked around like this, until the lantern festival was about to stop and the street gradually became deserted, Gu Yunji broke up with Cheng Yan and returned to Gu's house with his sister.
