After dancing for about half an hour, Lin Wanwan panted and bent over, waving her hands and saying, "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, cousin, I can't dance anymore, you continue."
After saying that, I wanted to walk to my carriage.
Xiao Chong took her hand and said with a smile: "Stop dancing then. Let's go and take you to the front to guess lantern riddles."
Lin Wanwan didn't have the strength to break free, so she had to be pulled away by him.
Kunlun, who had been paying close attention to Lin Wanwan, immediately pushed through the crowd and followed.
When Xiao Chong "surprised" Lin Wanwan before, Shuqi, who was blocking Kunlun, naturally followed suit.
Although Huanong and Hongyan saw it, they couldn't squeeze through, so they had to watch Lin Wanwan's figure disappear into the sea of people.
After passing through the crowded crowd and away from the lamp tower, Xiao Chong let go of Lin Wanwan's hand, took off his mask and said, "Let's go, cousin, it's not far ahead."
"Okay." Lin Wanwan adjusted the hairpin, fearing that it would loosen, but found that it was still firmly fixed on her head, and she felt relieved again.
Hongyan's hair-tying skills are impeccable. She has been dancing around for so long, but her hairstyle still hasn't changed.
Xiao Chong laughed: "I am being rude."
Xiao Chong smiled grimly: "In previous years in Chang'an, I and my brothers gathered in a restaurant to eat wine and write poems, and rarely did they guess word puzzles."
The two of them each carried a paper lantern and walked towards the river.
Fortunately, in the end, the two of them just picked a lantern each and did not sweep them away.
Lin Wanwan looked at the river bank, frowned and said: "There is no boatman on the boat, and the boat has not docked. How can we sit here?"
"Oh, that's right! After a long rain it clears up, and the sun rises!" Lin Wanwan suddenly realized, then she took off another note and said, "I'll guess it myself this time."
Lin Wanwan asked curiously: "Is something wrong? Is there a stampede?"
Walking next to Xiao Chong, he was protecting her all the way. Lin Wanwan was not crowded much, so she was not embarrassed.
Xiao Chong lowered his head and smiled, looked at her and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry."
Lin Wanwan looked around and saw that all the people putting up river lanterns were young girls. It seemed that girls had been the easiest to deceive from their money since ancient times!
If you love romance and believe in legends, if it doesn't work, just ask for it, and it will work if you are sincere.
"This paper boat is quite delicately folded!" Lin Wanwan sighed, "It's not like the merchants are all fooling people."
Lin Wanwan said excitedly: "Ha, this is simple, just the word 'two'."
Fortunately, the shaking was only momentary. Xiao Chong put her down and the boat stabilized.
He didn’t even say which deity he was praying to. Anyway, any deity who passed by would be regarded as receiving incense?
At this time, a guard in black stepped forward, whispered beside Xiao Chong, and then silently retreated.
Lin Wanwan snorted: "My wish won't work if I say it out loud, how can my cousin ask?"
The closer they are to the lamp tower, the crazier they become.
"Whether there is anyone fishing for candles downstream, it doesn't matter to the crazy men and resentful women upstream who are making wishes."
Tonight in Xiaoxi Town, there are lights everywhere, as bright as day, and the streets are bustling with people. The only difference lies in the number and excitement.
Lin Wanwan quickly sat down on the bow of the boat and lowered her center of gravity.
The first person to spread such rumors must be the candle seller. Look, the sparks on the river are so dense, what business opportunities there are!
"There must be a lot of people waiting to fish for candles in the lower reaches of the river, right?" Lin Wanwan looked towards the end of the river, and she could indeed see faint figures.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Lin Wanwan by the waist, jumped into the air, and landed on the boat in one leap.
Xiao Chong asked: "What wish did my cousin make?"
When we arrived at the Shushi Street, it turned out that there were all lanterns hanging with lantern riddles.
"Um."
"Cousin, will you be beaten in Chang'an for your behavior of sweeping the lantern riddle market?"
Xiao Chong said happily: "It's not here, it's a mile away, the water is wide over there, and the cruise ship is ready."
"It's so beautiful." Lin Wanwan said with a smile.
Not long after, the two came to the shore where a lone boat was parked.
Lin Wanwan was slightly startled. When Xiao Chong came closer, she came to her senses. She handed the paper lantern to Kunlun who was waiting by the side. She carefully took the river lantern from Xiao Chong's hand, fearing that she might accidentally put it down on the river.
, the fire lit the paper boat.
Many people are placing river lanterns (a small candle on a paper boat) on the shore. They say that after lighting it, you can make a wish and let the river lantern float away with the water, and your dream will come true.
As for the mask, she naturally didn't take it off. She was still a noblewoman after all, so she still needed half a mask to cover her face. The most important thing was that now she felt that her face must be burning like fire, and she needed a mask to cover her face.
A moment later, Xiao Chong came over holding a river lantern. Under the orange candlelight, his perfect and picturesque face became more and more unreal.
Lin Wanwan squatted down and closed her eyes, and actually made a wish secretly, then put it into the river, gently stirred the water flow, and watched her river lantern merge into the dense flow of lights and flow down the water.
"Nothing happened." Xiao Chong asked with a smile, "Cousin, are you interested in swimming in the river?"
"Do you want to let my cousin go?" Xiao Chong asked.
It's not that she's afraid of falling into the water. The key is that in this atmosphere, falling into the river will be embarrassing and cold!
"River trip? Now?" Lin Wanwan was surprised, "In this river?"
The weight of the two made the boat sway this way and that. Lin Wanwan was so frightened that she hugged Xiao Chong, fearing that she would fall into the river.
On such carnival occasions, the most common accident is a stampede accident.
For the two of them, it is useless to bring too many lanterns, it is just for the sake of atmosphere.
Xiao Chong lowered his head to read the word puzzle and smiled lightly: "Well, my cousin is amazing."
This time the note read "Where are you going, madam?"
"Okay!" What else is there to say? Lin Wanwan, a time traveler, naturally listened to the arrangements of the natives of the Tang Dynasty!
Xiao Chong smiled faintly and made no comment.
She frowned and thought for a moment, but her mind was actually still stuck in the carnival just now, and she couldn't start at all, so she raised her head and asked Xiao Chong: "Cousin, what is the answer to this?"
Xiao Chong glanced at it and said: "The 'yesterday' of yesterday's day."
"Oh, you are quite sensible!" Lin Wanwan smiled.
The two continued to guess the word riddles for a while, with Lin Wanwan mainly guessing and Xiao Chong checking and filling in the gaps, almost making the shopkeeper here blush.
"Ha, that's right!"
Lin Wanwan casually took off a lantern, and the note read "After a long rain, the sky clears".
Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since everyone believes it, I will also follow the local customs and put one out."
However, Lin Wanwan had seen that there were many government servants and bad guys with knives on the street to maintain order. Du Shaofu, who wanted to manage the public security, should have been prepared to deal with it. Could it be that Xiao Chong had to take action in person?
Xiao Chong smiled slightly: "Okay, my cousin is waiting here, I will buy one for you."
Xiao Chong stood at the stern of the boat, pushing hard with his palms. A gust of wind from his palms stirred up the water, and the water swayed. The boat passed through the dots of river lanterns and moved forward slowly.
"No way, cousin, do you rely on your internal strength to push the boat?" Lin Wanwan's eyes were filled with brilliance and she was amazed. She reacted in the next second and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
Damn it, this guy has tricked me again!
Xiao Chong took a step forward with a smile, sat down, grabbed the oar and shook it gently, saying: "Of course not, it is unwise to use the oar if you have one."
