Chapter 1206, Lantern Festival
Chapter 1206, Lantern Festival
The Shangyuan night of Yangzhou City is also noisy, with large orange lanterns hanging on the eaves of the corners of the houses, dotted with streets and alleys. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Walking on the street, selling clay figures, selling masks, a large group of children gathered in front of the stall to pick left and right, chose a big flower face, made a grimace at the child companion next to him, giggled and laughed a few times, you chased me and hid in the crowd. The rock sugar gourd seller shouted loudly, and there was not much left of the big stick of sugar gourd. A father also bought several bunches, and the child rode a big horse on his father's head, and the windmill in his hand purred and turned. The most lively thing is the row of lantern stands in the streets and alleys, people thoughtfully guessing the riddle on the lamp, the boy shaking the fan, the woman dragging the skirt, or smiling, or sighing and laughing at herself.
On the shore of Daming Lake, often under the trees on the shore where the lights are slightly dimmed, you can see a couple who have embraced each other for a long time, holding hands to confess and kiss each other. There are also many people who put lanterns on the riverbank, and the lotus lanterns float on the surface of the lake, carrying a strong love, slowly floating along the current, bright and beautiful, it seems to be a dome of stars falling to the world. Daming Lake reflects the layers of lights in the city, holding up a tender nightless sky, the wind rises, and a pool of phantoms ripples slightly, like a big dream that has never woken up.
Linghu Yuer and Han Lun went out to enjoy the lanterns together, but when they walked near the Wuting Bridge, Han Lun suddenly saw a few old friends from the past, and it was rare that there were still a few brothers, and several people said hello to Linghu Yuer, and then dragged Han Lun to drink, Han Lun couldn't get rid of it, and Yu'er had to go back to the house sullenly.
Luo Xiaocheng had already gone to the Yue sisters' restaurant to drink and enjoy the fireworks, but tonight's casino in Yangzhou was also in the peak season, and it was indispensable to gamble before going to drink. Shi Yunyang took Ran Tianluo to the market to buy some things, and went to the suburbs to distribute some condolences to the victims. The victims of the Chang'an disaster are all grateful to Dade. By the time I got back, it was almost dark. At that time, Yangzhou City also entered the most lively time, and the two held hands and walked around the lanterns together.
Walking in front of a lamp, the two stopped to watch, only to see a riddle written on the lamp, which was:
"Don't say it sooner or later. There is also a line of small words written below, "type".
Ran Tianluo smiled and said, "Yun Yang, what do you guess this is?" she looked at the riddle and said thoughtfully.
Shi Yunyang said: "I can't guess the lantern riddle, you might as well spare me." ”
"Just guess, isn't that the most interesting thing tonight? ”
Shi Yunyang thought for a while and said, "If you don't say it sooner or later, that's... Said at noon. He paused, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said happily, "I know..."
"It's a word. ”
"Yes, it's a promise. I guessed it. ”
Ran Tianluo smiled and said, "I'll guess it first." Shi Yunyang frowned and said, "No, I guessed it." If I hadn't said it at noon, you would have guessed. ”
"Then I don't care, I said it first, of course, I guessed it first. She was delighted and smiled. Shi Yunyang was unforgiving, but he was very happy in his heart, he hadn't seen her smile so happily for a long time.
"Well, this time you'll be the first. Let's guess the next lantern riddle together, I won't give you a hint, we might as well compare, how about it?" Ran Tianluo chuckled and said, "I knew you wouldn't fight with me." Alright then, I'll beat you in the next game. She took Shi Yunyang's hand, and the two walked towards the next lantern. But after looking at one place, she didn't guess, and then replaced the next one. Shi Yunyang smiled helplessly: "Are you looking for you to guess at a glance to compare with me?"
"No, I'm looking for something of some quality. ”
Shi Yunyang grabbed her and said, "That's not good, how do I know that you're not looking for simplicity." Right here, the next riddle will do. ”
"Okay, since it's a bet, there has to be a bet. If I win, you're going to buy me ten lanterns. How?"
Shi Yunyang smiled: "A hundred is no problem. He then said, "But what if I win?"
"You can do whatever you want. ”
Shi Yunyang thought about it, suddenly smiled maliciously, and said a few words to her in his ear, Ran Tianluo frowned, his face was suddenly flushed, and he quickly bit his lip and turned his head shyly, and said angrily: "You... Why are you like this....."
Shi Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You said it, you can do anything." Besides, what's so embarrassing about that. We are all people in the rivers and lakes, where there is so much attention, do we have to worship heaven and earth and become married? ”
"Oh, you be quiet...", Ran Tianluo didn't turn around.
He secretly laughed a few times, then took her hand to the next riddle, Ran Qianluo was like a well-behaved doll, and let him lead him. I don't think about anything, I don't care about anything, only happiness and happiness.
When the two arrived at the lantern, they were immediately attracted by the lamp, which was in the shape of a big fish, the bamboo frame was very delicate, and the painting was also very superb, vivid, like a red carp with a glow in the belly.
"It's a beautiful lamp. Ran Tianluo gently held the fish lamp and exclaimed.
"This lamp is not as beautiful as a girl's appearance. A woman's voice suddenly came from behind the two, Shi Ran and the two turned around, but saw the two sisters Yue Wuyan and Yue Chengcheng standing behind them. Both of them were dressed up, their hair was like clouds, and the beads were like stars. Wearing a long brocade robe with a corseted chest, he was wearing a white fox Qiu Su brocade cloak. The moon is beautiful and beautiful, the moon is soft in the eyes, the two walk side by side, like a palace lady, at first sight, it is really amazing.
"Sister Allure praises falsely. Ran Tianluo bowed down, and the Yue sisters returned the salute. "The two sisters are also dressed up beautifully tonight, which is really enviable. ”
"Happy New Year, two shopkeepers, I wish you a prosperous business. Shi Yunyang arched his hand and said.
The Yue sisters smiled: "I borrowed the good words of the son." Thank you for the praise. ”
Ran Tianluo said strangely: "Shouldn't tonight be the harvest day of the two sisters, how can they also have the leisure to come out to enjoy the lanterns?"
Yue Wuyan said with a smile: "Look at what Miss Ran said, it seems that our sisters have nothing but to make money." He smiled at Yue Chengcheng and said, "The guys in our inn are not much worse than the two of us." I gave them four times their wages tonight, and this is a great Lantern Festival, so I should go out for a stroll, or I will not live up to this great night. ”
Ran Tianluo smiled and said, "It's Tingluo who lost his word, and the two sisters forgive me." ”
"It's been a while since we've seen each other, and I didn't expect to meet you two at the Lantern Festival today. Yue Chengcheng pressed his hand on his chest and said softly.
Shi Yunyang said: "Actually, we have been in Yangzhou since the ninth day of the first month, and we have not come to visit the two shopkeepers, so I am really sorry." ”
Yue Chengcheng said: "Engong is polite. Since we can meet tonight, it is really fate, if we don't give up, our sisters will be the east, can we invite Engong and the girl to have a few drinks?"
"Then respectful and indisobedient. It just so happens that there are some small things to ask the girl in Allure. ”
Yue Chengcheng looked at Yue Wuyan, his expression seemed to change, but he quickly covered it up again, and Yue Chengcheng said: "What does Engong want to know, as long as Chengcheng knows, he will definitely know everything." ”
The group of four got up and went to the Four Seas Inn not far from here, and the two shopkeepers asked the kitchen to cook a few good dishes, and invited Ran Tianluo and Shi Yunyang into the Accord on the fifth floor. It is one of the best views of the entire Four Seas Inn. When you open the window, you can see a sea of lights in the city, and the light and shadow flicker, like golden juice flowing water. From time to time, fireworks burst into the sky, and a large number of brilliant fireworks suddenly weaved the night sky into a splendid landscape. While enjoying the scenery, the four of them held wine to celebrate, and the uninhibited joy of Luo Xiaocheng and Linghu Yuer was missing on the table, and it suddenly became much more elegant.
After three rounds of drinking, the moon fell into the city and asked to change clothes, and the three of them talked about the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou City, and Yue Wuyan was indeed more talkative than the moon city. After a while, he told the two of them about some things in the past six months. Sihai Inn merged more than ten inns in Yangzhou City and opened a semicolon, and all the income of one of the restaurants was used for the resettlement of disaster victims in the suburbs of the city. As a result, the inn's fame has multiplied several times.
Shi Yunyang and Ran Tianluo couldn't help but praise their management. As he spoke, Moon Allure City also returned. She was holding a beautiful rosewood box with an old seal on it, which looked rather mysterious.
From the moment she came in, Shi Yunyang felt the contents of the box keenly, and that kind of aura was very familiar, it was what he had been looking for.
Yue Chengcheng sat down, gently pushed the box in front of Shi Yunyang, got up and closed the window again, and said, "I know what Engong wants to say to me, this should be what Engong wants." ”
Shi Yunyang opened the box, and sure enough, his judgment was confirmed, although he could feel it, but when he saw with his own eyes that the contents of the box were obsidian, he was still a little surprised.
Ran Tianluo was even more surprised, and said, "Sister Allure, how can you have this thing?"
Yue Chengcheng glanced at Yue Wuyan, Yue Wuyan smiled, and said, "Allure, let's say, Shi Gongzi They are good people." ”
Yue Chengcheng nodded and said, "Don't hide it from Engong, this thing was handed down by our ancestors." If you want to talk about it, you have to talk about it a long time ago. ”
