Chapter 24 The Wishing Tree

After the fireworks ended, the crowd began to commotion again. A huge lotus lantern rose in the distance, and Ah Chou immediately shouted excitedly: "Father... let's go there! Let's go there!"

Qin Zuo nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, let's go there." The little green cow also cheered, at this time Su Suyi passed the excitement, and seeing the crowds, the guards were a little staggering, and hurriedly said: " Go slowly and don't leave."

Qin Zuo turned his head, held her hand tightly again, blinked and said, "I won't separate, even if I'm killed."

Su Suyi was startled, blushing with shame, said: "I don't know what you're talking nonsense, hurry up and leave."

Qin Zuo knocked on his forehead innocently, and said: "It's really embarrassing for me to walk slowly for a while, and fast for a while." Su Suyi, however, hurried forward a few steps as if she didn't hear it.The street was extremely crowded. Although there were guards protecting her, Qin Zuo was still worried and hurried forward to walk side by side with her.

A group of people slowly approached the lotus lantern. At this time, Su Suyi had returned to normal. Presumably, he also had resistance to Qin Zuo's occasional shamelessness.

"Hey! What do you think is that?" Su Suyi suddenly called out coquettishly, pointing her slender finger forward, Qin Zuo looked in the direction of her finger, and saw...

"Finger, ah, no, it's a big tree!" Qin Zuo looked back from her green jade finger, wondering why her skin is not so good!

Su Suyi shot him a look, pretended not to hear, and said softly, "That's the wishing tree."

I saw a tall banyan tree rising from the open space in front of me. Looking at the exposed roots and branches, it must have been thousands of years old.There are also some large and small lanterns of different colors hanging on the tree, and countless ribbons are wrapped around the branches. The ribbons and the lanterns complement each other, which is very beautiful.

"Wishing tree?" Qin Zuo exclaimed, she had never heard of it.

Su Suyi Xu was in a good mood, and explained softly: "It is said that no matter men or women, as long as they hang the cloth strips with their wishes on the tree and pray devoutly, their wishes will come true."

Qin Zuo nodded, very interested: "Then shall we write about it?" Su Suyi was also a little moved, but she was embarrassed to say it, but now seeing Qin Zuo bring it up, she immediately agreed.

So, the ladies and scholars who were making a wish saw a 'couple' with children coming together. Seeing the guards, they all knew that they were not easy to mess with, and they all looked away as if they didn't see it. .

Qin Zuo pondered for a while, and wrote down the eight words "Taste your wish, the country is peaceful and the people are safe", then tied two knots on the ribbon, tossed it vigorously, and hung it firmly on the branch.

"It's a hit! It's a hit!" A Chou clapped her hands and applauded, making Qin Zuo couldn't help pinching her little cheek.Su Suyi on the side also put down her pen at this time, and she didn't see how hard she was, but the ribbon was hung higher than Qin Zuo's effort to throw it.A Chou exclaimed again: "It's so tall!" Qin Zuo didn't want to pinch her face anymore.

Su Suyi's complexion was soft, she smiled slightly, the lights and moonlight shone on her face, she was like a fairy descending from the nine heavens.The men next to him looked straight at him, Qin Zuo took a step forward to block most of those gazes, and said with a smile, "What wish did you make?"

Su Suyi raised her head and said: "It won't work if I say it."

"Of course it doesn't work well with others, but it's different with me." Qin Zuo said, seeing Su Suyi looking at him, he immediately raised his eyebrows proudly: "I'm the Son of Heaven, maybe I can help you pass on the truth." Faith and God are more spiritual than this banyan tree.”

Su Suyi's rebuttal was not true, and it was not true if she did not refute. In the end, she simply closed her eyes and signaled that she didn't hear.This move melted Qin Zuo's heart, and he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said, "Let's go buy lanterns."

"Young Master and Madam, do you want to buy a lamp? Ten taels of silver each, and your dream will come true, and your wish will come true." The peddler saw them walking towards him, his eyes lit up immediately, and he let go of his voice and yelled.

Qin Zuo curled his lips, ten taels of silver, why don't you grab it?She was born in poverty, so she is naturally very sensitive to money. Now she hears this peddler open his mouth like a lion, and she feels contempt in her heart.But the other three picked them with great interest, not caring about the price at all.

"What kind of lamp is this?" Xiao Qingniu asked, pointing to the biggest lantern.

"This is the lantern." The peddler shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, I would like to be a lovebird in the sky, and I would like to be a Lianli branch in the earth. This lantern is just right for you and your wife."

Qin Zuo still had an impression of this line of the poem, and when he heard the peddler calling Su Suyi "Madame", he smiled brightly, and immediately asked, "How much money is this?"

Seeing her vigor, the peddler immediately sat down and raised the price, saying, "This is 30 taels of silver."

"What? 30 taels of silver" Qin Zuo stared.

The peddler was taken aback. Seeing that the guards behind her were also glaring at her, he immediately said tremblingly, "No, no, no, 20 taels...Ten taels! Ten taels of silver."

Qin Zuo became even more angry, and annoyed: "You only need 30 taels of silver for such a good lamp? Tell you, if it's less than 50 taels, I won't buy it!"

The peddler was stunned for a while, and secretly stunned, could this young man have lost his mind?He hesitated to ask the price: "...50 taels of silver?"

"Hmph, will you do business?" Qin Zuo muttered, slapped a 50 tael silver ticket on the peddler's hand, held the lamp, turned around and handed it to Su Suyi, and put on a smiling face: "Send it to you!" of."

Su Suyi looked at it amusedly, but felt a little strangely moved while being amused, took the lantern, looked at it carefully, and said softly: "Thank you."

"It's fine if you like it." Qin Zuo chuckled, and began to haggle over the price of the lamp that A Chou and Xiao Qingniu were looking for.The peddler's mouth was almost laughing behind his ears, and today he met an idiot, and he really made a fortune.

Really bought five lanterns for Ah Chou and Xiao Qingniu, they carried one in each hand, and the guards carried the rest.At this time, the bright moon was hanging high, and the crowd on the street began to thin out, and a few people began to walk back.

Back at Wan'an Temple, Qin Zuo only felt sore and sore legs, he squeezed it hard a few times, but it didn't improve at all, it seems that he has become used to being pampered recently, and his body has become delicate.Ah Chou and Xiao Qingniu were taken by the nanny to wash and sleep, Su Suyi glanced at her legs, said nothing, and left softly with a lantern.

After taking a good bath, Qin Zuo still felt a little sore, and suddenly missed Doctor Xie's massage technique, so he asked Wang Jin to call her.After a while, Doctor Xie came with a big medicine box on her back.

Qin Zuo lay faceless on the bed. When he heard the movement, he didn't even bother to turn his head. He just waved his hands and said, "Help me pinch my legs."

Doctor Xie rolled her eyes cryptically, it's the middle of the night, don't let people sleep well.But he rolled up his sleeves obediently, sat on the side of the bed and massaged her gently.After Qin Zuo learned his lesson, he stopped screaming this time, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

Su Suyi had just finished bathing at this time, and went into her room, saw the wing-to-wing lantern hanging in mid-air, gently swaying by the breeze, it took a long while before she came to her senses.He turned his head and thought for a while, took out a bottle of plaster from a small wooden box and walked out. The man usually sat in a sedan chair whenever he could, but today he suddenly walked for so long, and his feet hurt naturally.

"See the imperial concubine." Doctor Xie heard Wang Jin's voice, turned her head away, and saw Su Suyi in a pink shirt standing quietly at the door.She was a little flustered for no reason, and considering the person who was already asleep on the bed, she got up lightly and took two steps forward to salute.

Su Suyi smiled faintly, and said: "If I had known that Doctor Xie was here, I wouldn't need to make this trip." With a slight movement of her skillful hand, the small medicine bottle in her hand was hidden in her sleeve, so no one could see it.

Hearing Su Suyi's words, Wang Jin looked sympathetically at His Majesty who was still soundly asleep. This Concubine Su is not someone who likes to put on airs. Today, it's really... abnormal.

Doctor Xie lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty must be very happy to know that Your Majesty is here."

"You know?" Su Suyi continued to talk, but her face was not so ugly, and she walked towards Qin Zuo while talking.

Doctor Xie obediently stepped aside, she had to say that at this moment she was really overwhelmed by Concubine Su's aura.I heard that His Majesty is very close to Concubine Su, and I don't know how she endured it.After a while, after answering a few questions from Concubine Su Gui, she made an excuse to slip away.
