After being picked up by Daxian

I saw that the man was wearing a sky-blue smoky gauze brocade suit with cloud and water patterns, with sapphire fine bead chains hanging down, which contrasted with the green wood spirit pattern on his forehead, and made his complexion like snow, his eyebrows were delicate and vivid, which was not romantic.

The rest of the hair is combed into several thin braids, and decorated with round jade balls, which will make a crisp sound when moving.Compared with the previous attire, it is more lively and flexible.

"Huh? Isn't this your previous attire? Sure enough, it's much more pleasing to the eye. I'm still not used to seeing your other appearance before."

Chiwu jumped off the railing and walked around Hengqing, as if looking at an object, nodding in satisfaction.

"It's been a long time since I wore it like this, but I miss it... Sure enough, I'm more used to this kind of myself."

Sensing Xue Jiang's gaze, Hengqing smiled a little shyly: "It's strange, right? Suddenly changing clothes like this—"

"No, it's beautiful."

The words were interrupted suddenly, but the man's eyes darkened slightly, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was very satisfied.

She had never heard such straightforward words of praise from Xue Jiang, Hengqing blinked her eyes, but was speechless for a moment.

"I didn't expect that Xue Jiang could hear good things from his mouth—ah! Don't pat me on the head!"

Chi Wu murmured and rubbed his head: "Forget it, let's hurry up and watch the lanterns, hiss—you can't lighten up..."

"Since that's the case, don't talk so much nonsense."

Ignoring Chi Wu's complaints, Xue Jiang just extended his hand to Heng Qing. "Let's go, the Lantern Festival is about to begin."

Hengqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and took his hand.Like a gentle spring water, blown away by warm wind.

"it is good."

-

After leaving the palace gate, the streets of the imperial capital are already bustling with colorful and unique lanterns.People who come to watch the lanterns rub their shoulders, and there is an endless stream.

The ten-mile long street is full of people and bustling.The lights are bright and the voices are buzzing.Guessing lantern riddles, playing lanterns, and eating candy balls...Everyone in the family, young and old, hugged each other and played to their heart's content. It was very lively.

Chi Wu didn't know where he was being squeezed by the crowd, and Heng Qing held Xue Jiang's hand tightly, and sighed while passing through the crowd: "It turns out that there is such a lively scene in the human world, which is more interesting than the heavenly world." too much……"

"Every festive season, the mortal world will be very lively, there are many festive snacks, and there are also many interesting gadgets."

Xue Jiang's eyes turned to one place, suddenly his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Go, go over there."

Pulled by Xuexiang, she came to a small stall of a kneader.There are many adults and children in front of the booth, and there are already many kneaded dough figures on it, each in various poses and with different expressions, vivid.

The two managed to squeeze in, and when the old man who was making dough figurines saw them, he yelled enthusiastically, "You two young masters, just ask for any clay figurines you want, and I can make them for you."

"To be able to knead this ordinary dough so vividly and lovely..."

Watching the old man pick up the dough of various colors and deftly knead it into all kinds of lifelike small animals and villains, Hengqing felt admiration, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.

Seeing the novelty-eyed and ready-to-move looks of the people around him, Xue Jiang's heart softened. "Just tell me if you want it, and I'll buy it for you."

"Yes, is it possible? Then..."

Hengqing hesitated for a moment, but squeezed to the side of the old man, bent down, and seemed to whisper something to him.

After listening to Hengqing's words, the old man looked at his face seriously, then turned his head and stared at Xuejiang.

Just when Xue Jiang felt a little baffled and wanted to look away unnaturally, the old man smiled cheerfully.

"It's ok, but I'm afraid I'm making such a handsome baby ugly..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, old man, just pinch it."

Heng Qingzhong squeezed to Xuejiang's side again, only to see that person frowning. "What did you tell the old man who kneaded the dough?"

"When you pinch it, you will know."

Seeing that Hengqing was so mysterious, Xuejiang could only sigh helplessly, but there was a bit of unconscious doting in his eyes. "Mystery."

Suddenly, a clear and crisp girl's voice sounded next to Xuejiang: "Daddy, there is a beautiful brother here."

Xue Jiang turned her head, and saw a little girl with two braids and a red dress sitting on the shoulder of a middle-aged man, looking at Xue Jiang curiously.

When she found Hengqing beside Xuejiang, her eyes couldn't help opening wider, she twisted happily, and pointed at Hengqing with her fleshy fingers.

"It turns out that behind the beautiful brother, there is another beautiful brother!"

Beautiful... It's the first time someone said that about him...

Hengqing blinked her eyes, a little flattered.

But Xue Jiang frowned, the last thing he knew how to deal with was children...

When the middle-aged man heard the girl's words, he turned his eyes to the two of them, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he quickly apologized.

"My daughter offends, the two sons must not mind. Come on, Ying'er, apologize to the two brothers."

"Ah, no, your daughter is very cute. Is your name Ying'er?"

Hengqing's hand caressed the girl's hair, and a faint scent of grass and trees came from her.Feeling his tenderness, the girl innocently looked at Hengqing, staring at him.

"Is my brother a fairy who came down from the sky? Ying'er has never seen such a good-looking brother."

Hearing the girl's words, Hengqing's heart skipped a beat, but the middle-aged man took the dough and patted the girl's head.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ying'er, go find your mother. Young masters, let's go first."

The man turned and left, and the girl waved goodbye to Hengqing reluctantly. "Goodbye, beautiful brother!"

Hengqing laughed a little, and waved to the girl, sighing softly: "Sure enough, children's intuition is always very sensitive."

"That's why I'm the worst at dealing with children..."

After the father and daughter left, Xue Jiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his stiff body also relaxed.

Seeing this, Hengqing was about to make fun of it, but the old man who kneaded the dough yelled, "My lord, the two dough kneaders you want are ready!"

Hearing that the dough was ready, Heng was overjoyed and rushed to the booth.When he came back, he already had two more noodles in hand.

"Well, this is for you."

I saw Hengqing handing over a small noodle man.Dressed in white, with a slight frown, Xiao Xuejiang jumped out with a stinky face.

Then look at the doughnut in Hengqing's hand, the small doughnut in green clothes, with a smile on his face, and even the details of the pigtails are vividly outlined, what you pinch out is a scaled-down version of Hengqing.

"How about it, isn't it cute? I think the old man pinched us very well, so let him pinch us both."

"It turns out that you made such a secret, that's why you made these two faces."

Xue Jiang turned his gaze, and instead of taking the face mask that Heng Qing handed over, he stretched out his hand suddenly and snatched the "Heng Qing" villain from his hand.

Before Hengqing could react, the villain in her hand was snatched away by Xuejiang.

"Oh, how did you steal my—"

"This person is pretty good, I want it. As for that, it's yours."

A cunning flashed in Xue Jiang's eyes, and before Hengqing could react, he pulled his body and whispered in his ear: "The mask is mine. You are mine, too."

Xue Jiang's sudden love words made Heng Qing's face instantly burn like boiling water.

Before he could speak, he heard Chiwu's panting cry.

"Hey, I found you. I didn't know where I was squeezed just now... Hey? Hengqing, why are you blushing—"

"It's time to go to the boat, aren't you clamoring to go?"

Xuejiang's interruption made Chiwu excited again, and immediately forgot about Hengqing's blushing. "Yes, yes, take me there quickly, I have always wanted to release the river lantern!"

"Let's go, don't be stunned."

Seeing that Heng Qing was blushing and still a little dazed, Xue Jiang rubbed his hair vigorously, then took his hand and walked straight to the pier.

The night wind gradually picked up, and between the clasped palms, there was a little dampness seeping out.

-

The clear night is like washing, and the distant mountains are like the back of a black dragon, with continuous ups and downs.The tide on the river is flat and the sea is wide, and countless lotus lanterns float on it, drifting with the mist.

The cruise ship is full of music and music, and the melodious piano sound is faintly heard.There are three or two women covering their faces with light veils, and the handsome and talented men are leaning against the railing, drinking to fight against each other, so unrestrained.

When you walk to the pier, you will see a gorgeous painting boat moored in front.The hull of the boat is painted with vermilion as the background color, and the top is painted with gold lacquer. There are carved dragons on both sides, as if they are filing out of the water.

Inside the boat, there are painted pillars, carved dragons and phoenixes, and exquisite lighting decorations dotted among them, instantly blowing down like stars, filling the boat with brilliant flames.The moonlight is sprinkled, making it even more beautiful and gorgeous.

"A few young masters, are you the distinguished guests that Eunuch Li said?"

The gangway was put down on the boat, and the attendants were divided into two sides. A man stepped down, dressed in a black brocade robe, with sharp eyebrows and a long beard. He was obviously the owner of the boat.

But he cupped his hands a little, and said with a loud smile: "To receive such hospitality from the emperor, the temperament of the three young masters is really extraordinary. In Xiaxiaohe, they are the masters of this painting boat. Please don't be too polite, and enjoy yourself on this painting boat. "

Everyone in Hengqing bowed their hands slightly to show their greetings.After a few polite greetings, the boat owner led them onto the boat.After a brief introduction, he no longer accompanied him and returned to the pier.

The attendants were dismissed, the gangplank was put away, and the boat slowly began to move.The hull of the boat swayed gently with the river waves, and the three of them leaned on the railing to drink in the gentle river wind.

The river waves are gentle, holding up countless flickering river lanterns.While the candlelight is flickering, lotus-shaped lanterns of various colors float on it, all of which flow down to the estuary of the sea.

The sparkling waves on the surface of the river, intertwined with the candlelights of these countless river lanterns, suddenly looked like thousands of hanging stars in the Milky Way, and it was impossible to distinguish between heaven and earth.

Seeing the beautiful scenery of the river night, Hengqing couldn't help sighing. "The river lanterns on the river are so beautiful, no wonder this Lantern Festival is so busy..."

"Not only because of this, people lit river lanterns on the river, but also mourned the lost relatives, and prayed for their family and friends..."

Xue Jiang paused for a while, and then slowly said: "There is a saying in the mortal world, if you sincerely write your wish in the river lantern, the wish will come true."
