marry a princess

Chapter 51
The folk customs of Linjiang City are open, and girls can come out and walk freely on weekdays, but only during festivals, girls will wear their favorite clothes and dress themselves up well. Girls from outside the city can also take this opportunity to come to the city to be lively , so the girls are looking forward to the arrival of New Year's Eve early.

Bai Ziwan has always liked plain clothes, and white is her favorite. In the end, she changed into a pink dress for the first time under the soft and hard work of Yunxiang. Fortunately, there were no extra decorations on the clothes, only embroidered on the two sides of the clothes. A red plum.

When I came out, I realized that I forgot to take the cloak, and I didn't want to fold it back. Fortunately, I wore it thicker, so I didn't feel cold.

"Master..." tugging on Bai Ziwan's clothes, Yun Xiang pointed at the crowd not far away with an excited expression, "Let's go and have a look."

Bai Ziwan nodded, letting Yunxiang pull her into the crowd.A man held a colored ball in his hand and waved it in different patterns. Ten men carrying a giant dragon danced vigorously with the man in front of them. Cheers and applause kept coming, and the children jumped up and down happily. .

"Although Linjiang City is small, it is not inferior to the capital city at all. This dragon lantern is even better than the capital city dance." Rue Xiang said loudly.

Bai Ziwan smiled, a little absent-minded.

"It's a bit early now, and when it's completely dark, we'll be playing with lions, guessing lantern riddles, and matching idioms and poems," Rue Xiang continued loudly, "Master, let's join in the fun later, maybe we can Lots of prizes."

She is still confident in guessing riddles and idioms solitaire, but it is really difficult to deal with this poem...Bai Ziwan said loudly, "Didn't you say to go to the river to put the lanterns? Let's go and put the lanterns first, and come back later to see if there is anything interesting."

"Master, no one is putting out lanterns by the river right now, let's watch the dragon lantern dance first, and then go later." Yunxiang clapped her hands happily, like a little girl.

It is precisely because there is no one now that she is going.Bai Ziwan said, "Then you stay here, Aunt Liu and I will go to the riverside to put a lantern, and I will come to you later."

Yunxiang grabbed Bai Ziwan when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "The dragon lantern won't leave for a while, so I'd better accompany the master to the riverside to put the lantern on first." The head can't bear it either.

"Let's go then."

The trees on both sides of the river bank have only bare branches, and the river surface is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the light of the stars under the lights.Yun Xiang took out a Narcissus River Lantern from the basket and handed it to Bai Ziwan, and took out two Lily River Lanterns, handed one of them to Aunt Liu, and lit them together.

Putting the lanterns on the water one by one, the three put their hands together and prayed to God sincerely. The cold wind came suddenly, and the originally calm river rippled gently, rippling in circles, and their river lanterns followed the fluctuations of the water, Slowly move forward.

Bai Ziwan gathered her clothes, took out a Kongming lantern, wrote a line on one side, and lit it.He took out a second Kongming lantern, wrote a line on one side, and lit it.Looking at the Kongming lantern slowly rising into the sky, Zi Wan smiled, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.

"What is this? Why have I never seen it?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Bai Ziwan was slightly taken aback, turned around, and saw that it was Yuan Hongyi and his brother, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Sister-in-law, what was it that was promoted just now?" Yuan Hongjin asked curiously, pointing to the Kongming lantern with only one light spot left.

"It's a Kongming lantern."

"Kong Ming Lantern? There is also a lamp called this name? This is the first time I've heard it." Yuan Hongjin looked confused, "Fifth Brother, have you heard of it?"

Yuan Hongyi shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Bai Ziwan thought to himself: It's a good thing you don't know each other, otherwise I should be surprised.The face is still as usual, without saying a word.

"What's the purpose of the Kongming lantern?" Yuan Hongjin said, "I just saw what my sister-in-law wrote on it, but I couldn't see it clearly because I was far away."

Even standing close to them they could not read the writing, and she wrote in French.Bai Ziwan explained, "Kongming lanterns and river lanterns are actually the same, they are both used to make wishes. I just wrote down my wishes just now."

"What wish did the sister-in-law write on it?" Yuan Hongjin looked at Bai Ziwan with a curious look.

Seeing another person suddenly look into his eyes, Bai Ziwan said, "It's nothing, I just hope that God will bless father and brother to be safe and happy."

She put two Kongming lanterns, did they have the same wish written on them?Yuan Hongyi glanced at the Kongming Lantern, which was no longer visible, and looked at Bai Ziwan, vaguely feeling that she was hiding something?Is it another dark secret?Is it related to Hongyu?

Yuan Hongyi guessed half right, Bai Ziwan was hiding a secret.One of the Kong Ming lanterns reads "Love of my life" in French.It wasn't Yuan Hongyu, but Ye Qin who once gave her an ankle ring to promise her happiness, but left her behind, making her think about it but dare not think about it.

The sky gradually darkened, and there were more and more people on the street. Looking along the street, the lights on both sides seemed to be endless, like a sea of ​​stars.The clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, and the laughter is endless.Bai Ziwan didn't look sideways, while Yunxiang looked here and there, even the men and girls passing by.Can't help but look again and again.

Due to the presence of Yuan Hongyi and his brothers, Yunxiang had no choice but to let go of her thoughts, and followed Bai Ziwan to watch the lamp at will.

"There is a tavern in front, let's go and have a rest." Yuan Hongjin suggested.

After entering the tavern, the shopkeeper quickly greeted them from behind the cabinet, personally led them to find a seat by the window, and asked while wiping the table, "What kind of wine and food does the general want? As usual, or do you want something else?" His eyes subconsciously glanced at Bai Ziwan.

Bai Ziwan watched the people coming and going, but Yuan Hongyi's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes swept away, the shopkeeper's body trembled, and he felt a chill down his back, he smiled embarrassingly, and turned his eyes away.

"Old rules." After taking a look at Bai Ziwan, Yuan Hongjin said, "For a change of wine, just use your homemade sweet-scented osmanthus wine."

The shopkeeper agreed to leave, and came over with wine and food after a while.

"Can my sister-in-law drink?" Yuan Hongjin poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Bai Ziwan, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus brewed by the shopkeeper. It tastes good, try it."

Bai Ziwan picked up the wine and took a sip. The taste of the wine was pure, with a faint scent of osmanthus. After swallowing, the fragrance lingered on her teeth and cheeks.He raised his neck and drank half a cup full of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in one gulp, ignoring the surprised eyes looking at him, poured another cup and drank it himself.

She drank alcohol since she was a child, and this sweet-scented osmanthus wine was nothing to her. Unknowingly, after drinking half a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were cloudy, and she faintly felt drunk.Seeing the two who had been looking at her, Bai Ziwan grinned, stood up staggeringly, walked to the window, let out a deep breath, closed her eyes, and let the cold wind hit her face.

Yuan Hongyi frowned, and looked at the figure standing in front of the window. She wasn't drinking, but she was clearly trying to relieve her sorrow.Are you angry about the day?
