Ningcheng this afternoon is much more lively than usual, it seems that because of the upcoming celebration, the faces of passers-by on the street are all happy, even Feng Anyan and He Mulan are a little infected by the atmosphere.

As Feng Anyan said, there are indeed food stalls everywhere on the street. He Mulan followed Feng Anyan to a snack stall, and curiously tried their sweet cake, which was so sweet that he could hardly swallow it. .

"It's so sweet." After swallowing it with difficulty, He Mulan said with a bitter face.

"This should go with this kind of tea, little girl, don't be too impatient." The old lady selling sweet cakes brought out a cup of green tea tremblingly. He Mulan took a sip, and immediately felt a refreshing taste in her mouth. The sweet and greasy taste dissipated a lot in no time.

"It seems quite delicious, An Yan, try it." He Mulan put down the teacup, then picked up a piece of sweet cake and handed it to Feng Anyan's lips, watching him open his mouth to eat it, and handed the teacup to Feng Anyan again. give him.

"How is it?" the old lady looked at Feng Anyan with a smile and asked.

Feng Anyan nodded: "Is this tea brewed from special tea?"

"Yeah, let me show you." The old lady took out a pack of green leaves from the side drawer and handed it to Feng Anyan.

"Wow, it feels different from the tea leaves we usually see." He Mulan stretched her head out of curiosity to take a look. By the way, she leaned over to smell it, and she really smelled a cool smell.

"This kind of leaves can be used to make tea or as medicine." The old lady seemed to be an outsider. Although she spoke Mandarin with a local accent, it was easier to understand than the teacher she met that day.

"Let's buy a pack." Feng Anyan asked the price, and found that it wasn't very expensive. Ningcheng wasn't as expensive as some tourist cities. He paid for some sweet cakes and a pack of tea leaves. The sweet cakes were wrapped in oiled paper bags He Mulan happily carried the bag and followed Feng Anyan forward, the old grandma told He Mulan, as long as she didn't swallow it in one gulp, it wouldn't be too sweet if she ate it slowly in her mouth, it's just that those teas can make people feel better. People are calm, that's why Feng Anyan bought it.

The two of them walked to the side of the performance stage that was being built without knowing it. He Mulan saw the actors who were seen in the theater yesterday. They took off their makeup but could still see their character. He Mulan couldn't help but sigh at them temperament.

The construction of the performance stage had come to an end, and some silk cloth was being hung up as decorations. He Mulan also noticed many strange boxes, but they belonged to others after all, so she didn't ask too much.

At this time, some shops along the river have hung festive lanterns in front of the doors. Some people are standing under the lanterns, clasped their hands together, and bowed deeply to the lanterns. According to others, this is to express their gratitude to the God of the river, and to express their gratitude to the river god. There is good fortune to pray for the days to come.

He Mulan thought it was fun, so she simply stood by the river and prayed to the river.

When she finished praying and opened her eyes, she saw Feng Anyan looking at her with interest.

"What are you doing?" He Mulan asked Feng Anyan with an angry look.

"What are you wishing for? I'm curious." Feng Anyan approached He Mulan and asked.

"Haven't you heard the saying that a wish won't work if you say it?" He Mulan gave him a fierce shot, and then bounced away from the river.

Feng Anyan shook his head helplessly, and still followed behind He Mulan. The two of them arrived at the pier. A few small boats were parked beside the small pier. The boatman was smoking a pipe on the boat. Seeing the two of them, Hastily beckoning customers.

"Miss, sir, do you want to take a boat?" the boatman asked courteously.

"I heard that there will be river lanterns in the celebration, can I still take a boat?" He Mulan asked strangely.

"Miss, the river lantern rally doesn't start until six o'clock in the afternoon. It's only four o'clock. We can go around the river." The boatman explained, "And the river lanterns usually only last about an hour, and boats can also driving."

"So that's how it is..." He Mulan nodded clearly, then suddenly saw a Kongming lantern on the boat, she couldn't help being interested, "Boss boatman, what is your Kongming lantern for?"

"Ah? This..." The boatman hastily stuffed the Kongming lantern in, and said as if to cover up, "It's nothing, nothing..."

"We don't take the boat, thank you, Mulan, let's go, let's go eat first." He Mulan wanted to ask further, but was interrupted by Feng Anyan, who pulled He Mulan up, and dragged her away on his own initiative. walk aside.

"Oh, how did you stop me from asking him! Maybe it's for him to confess his love to the girl he likes?" Seeing the sky lantern, He Mulan couldn't help but think of what she heard this morning, and thought to herself guessed.

"How is it possible? He looks like he is at least 40 years old, and he has already started a family." Feng Anyan is not interested in these things, but is focused on looking for any restaurants. Fortunately, there is one that looks good not far away. , he took He Mulan into the restaurant as if he had found his target.

"How do you know that he must have a family? There are a lot of single people at the age of 40!" He Mulan still insisted on her own idea, insisting that the boatman's Kongming lantern was used to express love.

"Mulan, your thinking tends to be limited. It's because after listening to the couple's words in the morning, you think that he has the Kongming lantern to express his love, but it's not." Feng Anyan explained seriously after ordering the dishes.

"Oh, how did you know?" He Mulan said angrily, "How do you know that your guess is right?"

"I didn't guess, I just knew." Feng Anyan said suddenly with a hook on his lips.

Now it was He Mulan's turn to be suspicious. She looked at Feng Anyan, and after making sure he was not joking with her, she asked, "Then tell me, what is his Kongming lantern for?"

"I'm not going to tell you yet." Feng Anyan said nervously, but after seeing He Mulan's eyes that seemed to be killing people, he coughed lightly and said, "Maybe it's for the celebration, I'll be more specific. I don't know either."

"I asked about the process of the celebration. First, the river lanterns started to be released around six o'clock. After the river lanterns were released from one side of the bridge, we walked to the other side. Then, the lantern market and night market on the street opened, and the celebration performances began. After that, we had free activities, that is, expressions. It's time to make up your mind, why do you need Kongming lanterns?" He Mulan believed in her memory, so she analyzed it seriously with Feng Anyan.

Feng Anyan probably didn't expect that He Mulan remembered it so clearly, so he sighed and said helplessly, "Why are you so serious?"

"What's wrong with being serious?" He Mulan said angrily, "This shows that my attitude is rigorous!"

"Okay, you have a rigorous attitude, but you have said so many processes, is there really no Kongming lantern to use?" Feng Anyan looked at He Mulan and said meaningfully.

He Mulan thought for a while, finally shook her head, and looked at Feng Anyan with a confused face.

Feng Anyan sighed again, looked at the waiter who came to serve the food with his chopsticks and said: "Let's eat first, you will know in the evening."

Then, no matter how hard He Mulan pressed her, Feng Anyan refused to say anything, as if a layer of iron had been poured on her mouth.
