Chapter 40: Spring River Flower Moonlit Night (II)
The sun is setting, and the twilight is deepening.
The annual lantern festival kicked off in the dazzling and colorful fireworks, Ji Jiu and others are the most eye-catching on the street, Jiang Jianger changed into a pink and white breast-length skirt, like a small bird running in the front.
"There are two oil-rubbing people on the left and right who are about to approach Her Majesty the Princess, Ji Jiu, you don't care?" Li Changnian frowned and reminded. Ji Jiu shook his head with a smile, and just as the two obscene-looking men on the left and right stretched out An Lu's claws, two sword qi shot out of nowhere, causing the two of them to feel painful, and disappeared into the crowd in a huff.
"How did I forget, my aunt protects the little princess in the dark. Li Changnian smiled bitterly, and Liu Zijin on the side cleared his throat and said, "Chang Nian, I'm hungry." ”
Li Changnian looked at the food stall on the side and sighed, took out the broken silver and said, "I have served you, are you still okay?"
After getting the silver, Liu Zijin raised his eyebrows and held Tang Zi's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat delicious food, let's buy whatever you want......
There is a tradition of women in the north and south, that is, women who are not married or have no sweethearts must tie a small bell to their ankles, Tang Zi and Cheng Luoling are obviously not among them, Yun Fan integrates faster than Ji Jiu, chatting with Lin Hongxing hotly, Cheng Luoling, who was hanging aside, trotted to catch up with Jiang Jiang'er, the two women are almost the same, and they can also have fun.
Li Changnian and Ji Jiu walked side by side, and the stall selling novelty gadgets on the street successfully attracted Ji Jiu's attention, he picked up the rattle and played it gently, his eyes were slightly red.
Li Changnian looked at him strangely and asked, "What?"
Ji Jiu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered that when I was a child, my family was very poor and couldn't afford to buy a rattle, but at that time I was ignorant and cried and cried, and since then, my father has come home very late every time, so after two or three days, he entered the house with a smile and took out a rattle from behind, and later I learned that he went to do odd jobs every time after the drums." ”
Li Changnian has no father or mother, and it is difficult for him to understand Ji Jiu's mood when he has lived in Jianyulou since he was a child, but he still listened carefully and said, "I want to wait for you to return to your hometown, and your father will be very happy for you." ”
Jiang Jiang'er didn't know when she was standing behind Ji Jiu, although the crowd was crowded and the voices were noisy, she still took these words into her ears and hid them in her heart.
"I want one. Jiang Jiang'er stood beside him with a smile, her beautiful eyes were as tender as water, and she looked at Ji Jiu brightly.
Ji Jiu paid the bill, Jiang Jiang'er took the rattle and gently put it to his ear, and he could hear the monotonous drum sound, but in the ears of the girl, it was far more pleasant than the music of the court musician.
"I love it, thank you. Jiang Jiang'er shook the rattle contentedly, and grabbed Ji Jiu's sleeve with her little hand, but this time her steps were very slow, as if she wanted time to freeze at this moment forever.
Li Changnian looked at this scene and smiled, this may be the so-called fans of the authorities and bystanders.
"Cheng Luoling, isn't she with you?"
Jiang Jiang'er shook her head, "She went to find Lin Hongxing, and when she saw the street game of throwing pots and hairpins, she hurried to find him." ”
The three of them walked non-stop, all the way to the Weijiang River outside the city, where many people also gathered, some lit lotus lanterns and sent them into the sky, praying for good luck in the year or putting a lamp for men and women together, asking God to bless this life and this life without separation, and some wrote down their heart's wishes on the Krathong and let it carry good wishes into the river.
"Let's go put the lotus lantern too, shall we?" Jiang Jiang'er jumped up and down to the vendor selling lotus lanterns, standing there quietly waiting for Ji Jiu to pay for it.
"Why don't I come?" Li Changnian said with some embarrassment.
Ji Jiu shook his head and said, "How many pennies do you need to divide so clearly?"
Li Changnian, who has been with Liu Zijin for a long time, said very seriously, "For some people, it is necessary. ”
Ji Jiu fiddled with the lotus lantern in his hand and asked, "Liu Zijin is the young pavilion master of Longmen Pavilion, why does he love money to the point of being so terminally ill?"
Li Changnian squatted down and set up the lotus lamp in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and replied, "To get to this point today depends on Liu Zijin's own efforts, Liu Pavilion Lord was very abusive when he was young, Liu Zijin and his mother were bullied when he was a child, because he had no money to treat the disease, his mother died in his arms, and since then Liu Zijin has been angry and relied on his extraordinary talent, jumped out of many children, and became the young pavilion master today." But it also made him hate his father to the core, do you know what his greatest wish is?"
Ji Jiu took the tortured and miserable lotus lantern from Jiang Jiang'er's hand, raised his forehead and asked, "What is it?"
"Killing Pavilion Master Liu with his own hands is his greatest wish. ”
After Ji Jiu helped Jiang Jiang'er get it done, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that such a person who makes people feel happy when talking like a spring breeze would be burdened with such a breathless burden." ”
Jiang Jiang'er didn't pay attention to the content of the conversation between the two, she carefully held the lotus lantern above her head, looked at the looming lotus pattern inside, and smiled.
Ji Jiu didn't think there was anything wrong, his hands crossed over her head, took the lotus lamp and said, "You're clumsy, I'll help you light it." ”
"Miss Ben is smart and clumsy. That being said, Jiang Jiang'er didn't have the slightest intention of snatching it back after carrying her hands.
The three of them held their own lamps, and the flames became more and more intense in the lamps, and the lotus flower pattern in the center became real, making it beautiful to touch.
Jiang Jiang'er's pretty face looked particularly moving and beautiful under the lights, and her pupils seemed to be flickering with sparks, flashing and flashing, and people couldn't help but fall into it, and her words were also extremely soft, as if she was afraid of destroying the warm atmosphere, "You must make a wish, it will definitely come true in the coming year." ”
The smile on the corner of Ji Jiu's mouth couldn't hide the rise, he was the first to release the lotus lantern, his hands were folded extremely reverently, and the wish in his heart flew with the lantern and flew to the vast sky.
Thousands of lotus lamps fluttered in the wind, and the young man held the jade pendant on his waist and said softly, "At this moment, I am in the south, you are in the north, thousands of miles apart, and I wish my heart to be sealed." ”
Jiang Jiang'er pretended not to care about me glancing at Ji Jiu, her eyes were a little gloomy, and even her interest became unpleasant.
"You're here too, what a coincidence. Lin Hongxing beckoned to them, Cheng Luoling held seven or eight hairpins in his hand and smirked, and even Lin Hongxing's head was stuck obliquely.
At this time, the three of them noticed that Yun Fan had not been able to escape from the clutches of the devil, and greeted them with a black line.
Cheng Luoling trotted in front of Jiang Jiang'er and generously handed out one, "This is for you." ”
Jiang Jiang'er belongs to the kind of person who can't be sad for three seconds, seeing that the hairpin put the just thing behind him, and asked Ji Jiu after putting it on, "How is it, is it good-looking?"
"I think...... Nothing big difference......"
Jiang Jiang'er's apricot eyes glared and said, "What did you say!?"
"Okay! The girl wears this hairpin as beautiful as a fairy who has fallen into the dust, beautiful and moving, and the posture of heaven and man ......"
"Fortunately, I caught up, there were too many people buying snacks just now, and it was delayed. Liu Zijin's mouth was shiny, and he led Tang Zi to run towards everyone.
Li Changnian rolled his eyes and said, "If you are late, you will run after the painting boat." ”
"Hehe, isn't this catching up, let's go, let's hurry up or we won't be able to catch up. ”
Spring River flowers and moonlit nights, full of pride.
