Chapter 143: Visiting the Lanterns
In the evening, the nurse came to Yuxi's room.
As soon as the nurse entered the door, Yuxi saw her happy face, and she was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, nurse, why are you so happy today, is there a happy event at home?"
The nurse grinned: "No, Yuxi, do you know, today the town held a lantern festival in order to celebrate the good harvest, so I want to invite you to take a look!"
Yuxi was quite surprised, but her pretty face was full of joy that could not be concealed: "What, there is a lantern festival at night, I heard that this year's wind and rain are good, and the harvest in the fields is much better than in previous years, but is the lantern festival tonight? Then I want to go and see." ”
The nurse rubbed her hands happily: "Yes, it's tonight, I just heard what the housekeeper said, so I came to tell you, then let's go and have a look tonight, okay?"
Yuxi has been in a depressed mood recently, and she has not received a letter from Riich since the flying pigeon passed the book, so she is a little worried about whether Riich did not receive the news, or the pigeon accidentally ran away on the way.
When she heard from the nurse that there were lanterns to watch, she planned to go to the town to have a look, so as not to be depressed and sad.
So Yuxi showed a faint smile and told the nurse: "Okay, nurse, I'll clean up after dinner, you come to the room and call me, let's go together." ”
The nurse replied respectfully: "Okay, Yuxi, then it's decided, I'll call you when the time comes." ”
After dinner, Yuxi returned to the room and carefully cleaned up her makeup, looking left and right at the pink face in the mirror. She found that she had lost weight recently, perhaps because she missed Rich.
Between the willow eyebrows, there was a touch of melancholy, and the color in the eyes was not as bright as before, but with a kind of disappointment condensed between the eyebrows.
Yuxi sighed lightly, she knew that it was so lonely to miss someone, if there was no Ruiqi by her side, she couldn't see his sunny smiling face, Yuxi found that she had become so lonely, and even idle.
It turns out that the feeling of missing a person is so bitter, as if the taste of the wine in the mouth has changed.
Yuxi reached out and touched the corners of her eyes, and then rubbed a little rouge on her cheeks, and that cherry lips, even if she didn't have to wear lip gloss, were still so ruddy.
She stood up and straightened her shirt, a long white dress that dragged at her feet, just enough to cover the embroidered uppers.
Yuxi tied the brocade belt around her waist, and the set of clothes that were cut just right just outlined Yuxi's exquisite waist, and the black green silk on her shoulders looked from afar, as if a fairy had descended into the world.
She moved her steps, leaving a wisp of orchid in the air wherever she walked, lingering in the room for a long time.
After a while, the nurse came over, called Yuxi, who had been preparing for a long time, and went out with two lanterns.
Walking through a quiet path, I came to the display of lanterns in the town after a while.
It's one of the busiest streets in town, lined with all sorts of stalls and vendors, many of whom sell their produce from this year's harvest.
Yuxi found a familiar shop to store the lanterns, and then watched along the street with her wet nurse empty-handed.
The streets are lined with lanterns of all kinds, and some of the big red lanterns have riddles for people to guess.
Yuxi watched the various lanterns with great interest, and while reaching out to grasp the riddles under the lanterns, she looked carefully, pondering the answers to those difficult to guess in her mind.
The nurse walked with Yuxi with great interest, and she suddenly found that someone looked at Yuxi beside her with curious eyes from time to time, and then whispered a few words. 、
The nurse is a little strange, what are these people talking about?
So she lowered her head and pricked up her ears to listen.
At this time, the two young men passing by glanced sideways at Yuxi, who was looking at the lanterns, and then reluctantly turned around and whispered: "This is the second lady of the Murong family, it's so beautiful!"
"Yes, she looks so good, like a fairy, it's so beautiful. ”
"I really don't know which man will have this kind of glamorous fortune. ”
The nurse smiled "fluttering", it turned out that she was talking about this, but at first she thought she was talking about something?
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Yuxi was turning her face sideways to look at a large red lantern overhead, a small hand gently grasping the tassel of the lantern, looking intently at a riddle below, and muttering quietly.
Yuxi stood under the lantern, and the candlelight from the lantern reflected her cheeks, making her fair and delicate skin appear more rosy and delicate.
And Yuxi raised her head, a pair of big eyes looked at the riddle under the lantern seriously, and the dark eyes looked even clearer and brighter.
Her beautiful posture was restrained by a white dress, filled with a fairy smell.
At this moment, from time to time, a young man passing by looked curiously at Yuxi standing under the lantern, his eyes widened, his face showed a look of surprise, and his pace slowed down.
The nurse was a little embarrassed, and quietly tugged Yuxi's long sleeves, implying that Yiyuxi should leave quickly.
Yuxi seemed to understand what the nurse meant, lowered her head slightly, and walked forward quickly with her.
After a while, the nurse saw a shop selling dry goods on the side of the road, where there were often many fresh souvenirs for sale, so the nurse whispered, "Yuxi, let's go in and buy something for Ruiqi?"
Yu Xi smiled: "That's what I mean, let's go in and have a look." ”
So the two of them walked into the store with their legs raised.
The shopkeeper raised his eyes and saw the two of them coming in, and immediately greeted with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Yuxi, why do you have time to come here, what a rare guest!"
Yuxi smiled elegantly: "We want to buy some dried fruit preserves or something, do you have them?"
The middle-aged boss smiled heartily: "Miss Yuxi originally wanted these, you came at the right time, I just have some fresh goods, you can come and choose carefully!"
Then the boss let Yuxi to the counter and put out some various dried fruits and candied fruits for Yuxi to choose one by one.
After a while, Yuxi carefully picked some preserved peaches, apricots, sour plums and dried apples, and the store helped Yuxi pack them one by one.
The nurse paid the money, thanked the boss and walked out of the door with Yuxi.
Just now, Yuxi tasted a little bit of these preserved fruits, the taste is very fresh, the sweet and sour taste will be closed, and it looks like some high-quality goods.
So Yuxi bought several large bags, and she wanted to wait for the next time the messenger came, so she asked him to help Ruiqi carry it.
Yuxi felt a little happy in her heart, wondering if she would think of her when Ruiqi tasted these preserved fruits from afar.
What kind of mood will Ruich be in at that time, and will she think of Yuxi's expectant eyes.
Yuxi's little heart was beating suddenly, and at this time she had no intention of watching the lanterns along the way, but followed the nurse to the shop where she started, picked up the lantern placed there and walked home.
