humble minister

The last stroke of the painting was not enough for Lian Ying. After thinking about it, he picked up a pen and wrote a poem about lanterns on the surface of the lantern, which was regarded as a scene.After everything was over, I looked at Guisi again, and I made a lantern, but that's not flattering.

"Ah, what does this uncle do?" The childish voice sounded out suddenly, without any malice, but it made Gui Si rarely blush, and Lian Ying couldn't help laughing out.

"It's normal if you don't do well the first time. You brat did much worse than others." Dean Qin patted the naughty child on the head jokingly, causing the child to vomit. She stuck out her tongue and obediently stopped talking.

"This is the first time you two have seen the Lantern Festival in our city, so don't be stuck here, it's good to go around and have fun." Dean Qin stroked his beard, and suggested with a smile: "Maybe it's time for you to return." You can find the girl you like at this lantern festival."

After finishing speaking, there was a burst of winking, full of the posture of old urchins, but seeing that the faces of the two were indifferent, and there was no sign of agitation, thinking that he hadn't explained clearly, he hurriedly said: "Oh, don't believe it, you mentioned it. Walking forward with the lanterns, you will come across our moat. There are many vendors by the river, all of which provide the service of "delivering lanterns" and it doesn't cost a lot of money. Where did the lanterns you sent by yourself go? What people get is fate, fate is determined by God. I think my wife and I knew each other like this back then, back then..."

Dean Qin looked emotional, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a group of children——

"Dean, you are showing your affection again!"

In the end, the dean's love story was still not told as he wished, but Lian Ying and the two listened to his suggestion and went to the moat.

I have to say that this kind of romantic story is still very contagious. Apart from the many hawkers by the river, there are all kinds of young men and women in brightly dressed clothes. Everyone is holding a lantern. I am afraid that they are all here to find marriage.

"Compared to other people's lamps, this is poor." Lian Yingyang joked with a smile as he raised the lantern in his hand.But the truth is told, these men and women are not only beautifully dressed, but also the lanterns in their hands are quite exquisite, it seems that they have put a lot of thought into it, but shouldn't they put a lot of thought into the matter of marriage?

"It's not the same way." With a smile on the corner of Guisi's mouth, he wrote a sentence in reply.

"That's true." Lian Ying tilted his head slightly, and began to look around after a nod. He quickly chose a booth and walked over. Gui Si quickly followed.

After receiving the pen and paper from the peddler, the peddler said kindly: "Master, this paper and pen is for you to write your wishes on it, then put it into a lantern, and put the lantern into the river." Here, if the River God is lucky enough to see it, maybe your wish will be granted!"

"Wish? Seeking marriage?" Lian Ying raised his brows, his eyes were radiant, and the corners of those pale pink eyes seemed to bloom. Come to yourself.

Subconsciously glanced at the man who was following this elegant young man, the peddler shuddered, quickly looked away and replied: "That's not necessarily true, the River God is omnipotent, not just marriage, but other things If he sees the wish, he will help to realize it. However, most of the young masters and ladies who come here are looking for marriage, so if the young master wants to ask for a marriage, there is nothing wrong with it. Maybe this lantern is floating under the guidance of the river god. , you can really float to the side of your true destiny girl!"

As soon as the peddler finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the chill became stronger, and he couldn't help shivering again. He really didn't understand why it was so cold?

"Okay, I'll believe you for the time being." Lian Ying said with a smile, then found an angle that others couldn't see, wrote a sentence on the paper, and put it in what he made and improved by Dean Qin. You can put it into the lantern in the river, and then hand the pen and paper to Guisi, and said with a smile, "Guisi, do you want to give it a try?"

Gui Si smiled back, took the pen and paper and wrote a sentence and put it in the lantern, and then the two of them found a place with few people and set up the lantern.

"What did Guisi write?" Lian Ying asked with a smile behind his back as he watched the lanterns fading away along the river and their light fading.

Guisi turned her head and looked at him suspiciously, as if she didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question.

He didn't even care if he didn't want to answer, just stretched out a finger and shook it slightly in front of his eyes, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But I didn't write about marriage~"

Seeing the doubt and curiosity in the other party's eyes, Lian Ying just pursed his lips, smiled and said in relief: "I just...just pray for someone's safety..."

After saying that, he turned around and left, only the lights behind Yu Yu were shining brightly, and the tall man standing there watching him slowly walk away showed a thoughtful expression.

"Bring up the connected lanterns." After a long time, a hoarse voice that seemed to have not spoken for a long time ordered to the dark corner, and then a black shadow passed by.

Guisi, that is, is Shi Yu looking at Lian Yingyuan's back with deep eyes, just praying for a person's safety?

Do you really no longer believe in marriage...

Then how can the wish he wrote down come true?But even if he can't, he still wants to make him capable. He doesn't believe in river gods, or legends, but only in man-made things.

Ah Ying's lantern, you can't let others take it, only he can be the river god who bestows their marriage...

"May my emperor be safe and successful, happy and healthy..."

A piece of paper was carefully unfolded, and Shi Yu read softly.

When Gui Si went back, he saw Lian Ying returned to the peddler's booth, calmed down his emotions, and walked over, just in time to listen to the conversation between the two.

"My lord, why don't you try our 'marriage by a thread' again?" For a peddler who only relies on this grand event to make a fortune, he can sell whatever he can at this time, even if it is a brilliant tongue. Not surprising.

"What's the way of 'marriage by a thread'?" Lian Ying raised his eyebrows, seeing the ecstatic look on the peddler's face, he became a little curious.

"Hey, it's simple, you'll understand when I say it, son." The peddler rubbed his hands together, and then picked out a lantern in his hand, "Well, just choose a lantern that closes your eyes from my small stall. , and then walk along one end of the moat, if you meet someone who is holding a lantern like you on the way, then you have a marriage, and this little lantern is the thread that leads to marriage .”

"That's an ingenious idea." With a smile on his brows, Lian Ying started to make things difficult for the peddler, "However, there are many people and many lights at this lantern festival, so it's not uncommon to meet someone who holds the same lantern as me. So what if you are satisfied with the voice and smile of this 'marriage person'? In the end, isn't this marriage destined for you?"

"Oh, my lord, you don't know about this." The peddler clicked his tongue, then pointed to the men and women by the river and said, "Because there are many people who have the same idea as you, lord, so this Aren’t there many people who put on masks and came to find that ‘marriage person’ all based on their feelings and this predestined cause and effect!”

"Hey, you said so much, didn't you fool us into buying your lantern as well as your mask?" Lian Ying burst out laughing, this peddler is a bit clever, and his salesmanship is not bad.

"Hey, aren't we doing small business here? We just want to make a lot of money this day. Can we sell it hard?" The peddler just scratched his head and smiled naively without being annoyed when he was exposed.

"Oh, that's fine, then I'll buy this lamp and mask." Lian Ying picked out a lantern with a strange shape and an ordinary mask and paid for it. The person holding the same lantern.

Just as he was about to turn his head and ask Guisi, who had caught up, if he wanted to choose a lantern as well, he saw that the man was holding the same lantern as his own, but the mask was different.

"Guisi, Guisi, you are breaking the rules." Lian Ying teased, "You and I chose the same lantern, if we meet that 'marriage person', who does it belong to?"

Guisi still held the lantern in his hand, and stared at Lian Ying so fixedly that Lian Ying's face turned a little red and he didn't look away.

"Ahem, since you like this lantern so much, I'll change it." With a light cough, the strange atmosphere was relieved, and Lian Ying just reached out to change the lantern when Lian Ying grabbed his wrist.This kind of strength that cannot be ignored and refused made him slightly stunned, and he felt that familiar feeling for a while.

"No need to change. I won't go with you. You and I will start from both ends. If the first person we meet with the same lantern is the other party, then it is... destined."

Lian Ying silently read Gui Si's words, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, or he didn't understand what the other party meant by what he wrote. Could it be that he didn't know what "marriage" and "destiny" meant here?Or is it actually a knowing crime?

Guisi, Guisi, why do you sometimes make me feel inexplicably familiar...

The moat of Jiangming City is very long, so long that when Lian Ying stood at one end of it, he couldn't help but sigh at the distance. How could he and Gui Si meet by chance?

Hey, whatever, let's just walk, for the inexplicable familiarity in my heart...and the indescribable feeling.

One step, two steps, three steps... After a few steps, Lian Ying walked to the bridge over the moat. Looking at the flickering lights not far away, he calmed down strangely, and smiled bitterly. He was in a daze. Did he actually walk for so long, but in the vast sea of ​​people, there was actually no one he was looking for, was there?

Even if it was Guisi, he had already put too much thought into this person, but he wasn't Shi Yu, was he?It's not the king who made him willing to give everything, and he is not the same courtier as before.

"Fool..." With a low sigh, Lian Ying turned around and was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes, that mask, that lamp...

"Return to thinking..."

A murmur, on and off the bridge, whose heart is being touched...
