Lose the lights and spend another night
Chapter 17
On the line of Baidi, the lights are dim.
Just like the palace street in the sky, the five-color lamp shadows like stars are everywhere, and the lamp shadows are shining on the faces of every lamp watcher, rendering a picture of a peaceful and prosperous age.
From time to time, Bai Zhongyu squinted at Yingsheng beside him, the brilliance in his eyes was brighter than the shadow of the lamp here, "Cousin, do you think that lamp looks good?" He suddenly pointed to the giant peony lamp in front, and asked excitedly .
Yingsheng raised her eyes and glanced, she never liked these too bright lamps, she suddenly tugged at the corner of my clothes, and asked with a smile: "Huanxi, what kind of lamp do you like?"
I was startled, thought for a while, and pointed to the bright yellow lantern on one side.
It is a kind of nameless flower, bright yellow and bright yellow, which can be seen in ordinary fields.
Yingsheng stopped, looked at the lamp I was pointing at, and said with a smile: "Huanxi likes it, so I like it too."
"This lamp is really too ordinary..." Bai Zhongyu gave me a contemptuous look, "It's fine if I like it, you are a dignified young lady, how can you..."
He swallowed half of what he said, he gave me a squinting look, and then looked at Yingsheng with an apologetic smile, "Okay, okay, cousin, I'll buy you whatever lamp you like!" After saying that, he walked over Under the lantern, I took it down with my own hands, "Boss, I want this lantern!"
I was a little stunned and looked at Yingsheng.
Yingsheng squinted her eyes and chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Huanxi, wait until the fun begins!"
I don't know what Yingsheng wants to do tonight, just when I was uneasy, she quietly stretched out her little hand and held mine.
Yingsheng curled up her little finger and rubbed it against my palm.
I didn't dare to be distracted, and carefully felt the words Yingsheng wrote on it - anyone who bullies you will pay the price.
As if a gust of cool wind had blown my heart, I glanced at Ying Sheng in astonishment.
Yingsheng had already let go of his hand, looked at Bai Zhongyu with a smile, took the lantern from him, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I heard that there are lantern riddles here tonight, you can go and see with me, but good?"
"Okay, okay, okay." Bai Zhongyu was already happy in his heart, he nodded heavily, and couldn't help holding Yingsheng's little hand, but Yingsheng avoided it just right.
Ying Sheng handed the lantern to the other hand, pointed to the side where the lantern riddles were guessed, and said with a smile: "Cousin, it seems to be over there, let's go there quickly!"
Bai Zhongyu's movements froze for a moment, seeing Yingsheng's appearance, he didn't intend to avoid it deliberately, so he could only suppress the resentment in his heart, and followed Yingsheng quickly to the lantern riddle area.
I quietly looked at Yingsheng's back, and in a trance, I remembered the young lady back then.
She also took me to the lantern festival, guessed lantern riddles, and...at the lantern festival, she stared at a young man in white.
"Huanxi!"
Suddenly I heard Yingsheng calling my name, I came back to my senses and looked towards Yingsheng.
She waved to me and said with a smile, "Huanxi, come quickly, don't get lost!"
I nodded with a smile and followed quickly.
Ying Sheng grabbed my sleeve tightly, afraid that I would not be behind me again when I turned around.
"Cousin, you old maid is getting more and more dull, and it's a shame to bring it out, why don't you let me send you some smarter maids?" Bai Zhongyu gave me a displeased look.
The smile on Ying Sheng's face suddenly faltered, and was soon replaced by a "smiling smile", "Cousin, if the servant girl is smarter than the master, wouldn't it be overwhelming?"
My body trembled slightly, yes, I'm just a maid, just a maid.
Bai Zhongyu was very satisfied with Yingsheng's explanation, he looked me up and down again, and murmured: "That's right, with such an old and ugly maid by my side, cousin, you look more and more beautiful!"
I lowered my head, only feeling a dull pain in the bruise on my forehead.
Ying Sheng didn't want to continue this topic anymore, she pointed to the nearest lantern riddle and said with a smile: "Cousin, let's guess this lantern riddle first."
"Okay!" Bai Zhongyu took off the note on the lantern, lowered his head and read carefully, "There is a mouth in my mouth..."
Yingsheng had already guessed what the word was, she raised her eyes to look at me, and asked softly, "Huanxi, what word do you think it is?"
How could I not know such a simple anagram?
I nodded and wrote the word "Hui" on her palm.
"My pig-headed cousin will definitely not be able to figure it out." Yingsheng cast a disdainful look at Bai Zhongyu who had been scratching his head for a long time, and said in a low voice, "He is not as good as one-tenth of Huanxi's."
I couldn't help but smile lightly, I was really happy to be praised by Ying Sheng.
Yingsheng nodded and smiled, cleared her throat, and smiled at Bai Zhongyu: "Cousin, did you guess it?"
Bai Zhongyu scratched his head in embarrassment, and suddenly looked at me with a flash of inspiration, "Such a simple crossword puzzle, of course, I don't need to do it, Huanxi, haven't you learned some of it? Come on, you guess."
Yingsheng really didn't expect that Bai Zhongyu was such a cheeky person. She glanced at me and said, "Cousin, since you think this anagram is easy, let's try the one over there?"
"Ah?" Bai Zhongyu panicked.
Yingsheng laughed very excitedly, and she pointed to the place with the most tourists, "There are a lot of people over there, they must have guessed something, I don't care, cousin, you have always learned a lot, you have to get me a tonight Luck!"
"This... this..." Bai Zhongyu coughed twice in embarrassment, thinking how to refuse, Yingsheng had already squeezed into the crowd by the corner of my clothes.
"Boom!"
The owner of the lantern riddle stall suddenly rang a gong. He was a man in his early forties. "I have ten lantern riddles here. Whoever can answer all of them will own this seven-color glazed lantern!"
Yingsheng's eyes were bright, and she stared at the seven-color glazed lamp for a moment.
I know that Yingsheng must like that glazed lamp very much.
"Miss, do you like that lamp?"
A strange but handsome male voice sounded from the side. Yingsheng and I looked sideways, only to see a young man in black shaking his fan and smiling at her, his eyes full of surprise.
I subconsciously protect Yingsheng behind me, Yingsheng is no longer a child.
Yingsheng snickered and shrank back, she likes my protection.
Although Ying Sheng didn't get the affirmation, Mr. Mo Yi knew in his heart that the young lady in front of him liked that lamp.
He shook his fan and smiled lightly: "Then I will make a guess for Miss."
"Wait!" Bai Zhongyu suddenly stopped in front of Mr. Moyi, raised his head provocatively, "I can only give that lamp to my cousin!"
Mr. Moyi shook his head and smiled: "The stall owner has already said that whoever can guess the answer will get the seven-color glazed lamp. If you also want to give the lamp to the beautiful woman..."
"Guess what guess?" Bai Zhongyu roared in displeasure. He strode towards the stall owner, took out an ingot of gold from his pocket, and put it in front of the stall owner, "I bought this lamp!"
The stall owner looked at Bai Zhongyu with a livid face, "This lamp is not for sale."
"Do you dare not sell it? Do you know who my father is?" Bai Zhongyu raised his eyebrows and drank fiercely, "No one in Lin'an City knows that our Bai family silk and satin shop is the richest man in Lin'an. If you think this ingot of gold is not enough, then I will give it to you." You add ten ingots, in a word, I want this lamp!"
"Even if you add another hundred ingots, I still say the same thing, I won't sell it." The stall owner looked at Bai Zhongyu up and down with contempt, "If you really like this lamp, you might as well guess these lantern riddles, if you guess all of them correctly , I don’t need a penny from the young master, I will present this lamp to you, young master.”
"That's right, if you guess the lantern riddle correctly, it will naturally be yours, Young Master Bai, this is the pleasure of our literati. If you really like this lantern, you have to follow our literati's rules!"
"Yes, Young Master Bai, why don't you try to guess."
"For a person from a wealthy family like Young Master Bai, such a simple task as guessing lantern riddles is naturally within his grasp."
The onlookers started booing.
Mr. Mo Yi had already waved his fan and walked to the first lantern riddle. He seemed to be provocative, took down the paper with the lantern riddle written on it, and looked at Bai Zhongyu, "Master Bai, I'm about to start guessing the lantern riddle."
"You...I..." Bai Zhongyu was really unwilling. Guessing the lantern riddles was too embarrassing for him, and he also knew how much he weighed.
"Cousin, guess it for them!" Yingsheng suddenly led me to Bai Zhongyu, and said loudly as if showing off, "My cousin has learned a lot since he was a child. How can this kind of lantern riddle stop my cousin!" After finishing speaking, she He looked at Bai Zhongyu expectantly, "Cousin, don't you think so? I really like that lamp!"
"You...I...I guess!"
Bai Zhongyu has always been a vigorous young man, and with Yingsheng by his side, how can he admit that he is cowardly?
Yingsheng suddenly turned her head and gave me a wink, and I saw a sly smile in her eyes.It dawned on me that Yingsheng deliberately pushed Bai Zhongyu to guess lantern riddles to make a fool of himself, as revenge for making me embarrass myself today.
In fact, Yingsheng really doesn't have to do these things.
I am grateful, but a little worried.Young Master Biao has never been a broad-minded person, if he loses face in front of everyone today, I'm afraid something will happen.
Yingsheng saw the worry in my eyes, she glanced at me in confusion, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
I sighed softly, lowered my head and wrote in her palm——I know my intentions, but the future is unpredictable.
Yingsheng thought about what I wrote carefully, she was never stupid, so she could understand what I meant.But she pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head and wrote in my palm——not afraid.
She was determined to vent my anger on me, and seeing that I still wanted to persuade her, she quickly clasped my fingers tightly, her palms pressed tightly against each other warmly, and all she brought was peace of mind.
Hope, I'm overthinking everything.
Yingsheng smiled and said in a low voice: "Huanxi, why don't you guess?" After she finished speaking, she moved closer to me and said in a softer voice, "If you gave me this lamp, I'd like it better."
I stared blankly at the seven-color glazed lamp beside the stall owner, then looked down at Yingsheng Qiai's eyes, smiled lightly as if in a nightmare, and nodded heavily.
