Xiaotong couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, you are already very handsome, no need to look any further!"
"Really?" Yang Shu touched the pendant on his waist, "Isn't this gold one too tacky? Change it to a piece of jade?"
Xiaotong had no choice but to bring over the box containing the jade ornaments and let him choose: "Which one do you like?"
"Um..."
He was too dazzled to choose one, so in the end Xiaotong took one by force and hung it on him.
"Let's go, let's go! It's too late if you don't go!" Xiaotong pushed him out.
The two of them walked to the intersection and saw Ah Wan dressed up, so they also walked out.
"Sister Awan!" Xiaotong waved, "Are you going out too?"
"Ah?" Ah Wan was startled and said vaguely, "Well, let's go out and have a look."
"Then let's go together!"
"No..." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Ah Wan realized that she had refused too quickly. Under the strange looks in Yang Shu and Xiaotong's eyes, she nodded bravely, "That's okay, save a car."
So the three of them boarded the car and drove to Changsheng Temple.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and the streets are full of cars and horses, and pedestrians like weaving.
They went out in the evening and it was already dark when they arrived at Changsheng Temple.
Yang Shu found Mingwei and the Ji family at the agreed place.
Everyone is here except Master Ji and his wife.
Ji Ling saluted him, and the two of them chatted solemnly.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Dong couldn't stand listening anymore, so she pulled Ji Ling's sleeve and apologized: "Your Highness, we are taking the children to play first. Please forgive me."
Yang Shu couldn't help but said hurriedly: "You two can do it yourself."
Ji Xiaowu rolled his eyes and left: "Xu Mo will meet here, don't miss the time."
"I know, cousin."
Yang Shu turned around and asked, "Where are you?"
Xiaotong pointed to a row of shops on the roadside: "I'm going to eat! Sister Awan, are you coming together?"
Ah Wan said: "Let me take a walk first and find you later."
"Okay, I'm in this row anyway, just come find me."
"Um."
After everyone left, Yang Shu couldn't wait to ask Mingwei where she was going to play, but when she turned around, she saw her staring thoughtfully at Ah Wan's back.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think Ah Wan is a little weird?" Mingwei asked him.
Yang Shu thought for a while and shook his head: "No! She does this all the time. She thinks about it every time."
"Yeah?"
"Hey, don't miss her. It's a rare trip, why can't we have fun? Ah Wan can't bear the loss anyway."
Mingwei thinks about it, Ah Wan's martial arts is very impressive, and no one can touch her.
"On the Lantern Festival, of course we'll look at the lanterns first, then we'll go over there."
After they left, Ah Wan emerged from the corner, stood for a while, and walked towards the river.
There are too many people, especially by the river.
People who wanted to put up the lanterns were crowded together. Changsheng Temple was afraid of accidents, so they tied thick hemp ropes along the tree to prevent anyone from falling.
Even though there were so many people and the lights flickered on and off, Ah Wan still caught a glimpse of the people on the Mingyue Bridge.
He must have dressed up specially today, wearing a brand new black suit. He put one hand behind his back and looked down at the lamps in the river.
Ah Wan still feels as unreal as a dream.
Ah Wan knew that Mr. Su had a crush on her.
She has always known that she is attracted to the opposite sex.
Those people didn't know that she had a bad temper or that she spoke harshly. Based on her appearance, they thought she was a considerate girl, as beautiful as a flower and gentle.
But she thought Mr. Su wouldn't say it.
A wealthy young man like him, who has a family fortune and both talent and appearance, is just admiring things, but he is too constrained by what he wants to do.
Ah Wan thought about that day when he said those words. She thought about it for a long time and asked him: "Master Su, what do you mean by this? Do you want to redeem me?"
Su Tu looked at her: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be done with money. Although it is difficult for Gong to escape, as long as the money is enough, I can buy you through the checkpoints one by one, treat you with a disease, and release you. By then, I will take you away from here, to my hometown, and start your life again."
"Then what?" Ah Wan asked aggressively.
She was very angry. Since she met Mr. Su, they met several times, and they felt like they knew each other. She thought that although they were destined to only meet each other a few times, and they would eventually become strangers, if they could keep this tacit understanding, they would be better friends in the future. Thinking about it, it is also a beautiful memory.
But what does he want to do now? He is so greedy that he wants to turn this golden encounter into something vulgar and despicable?
She thought she was questioning, but Su Tu didn't think so much.
Hearing her question, she lowered her head hesitantly, with a faint blush on her cheeks, and said softly: "Then it depends on what you want to do. If you like children, we will raise a few children. It doesn't matter if you don't like them. Anyway, I have a younger brother." , he can have more children."
Ah Wan was stunned for a moment and found that what he was thinking seemed to be different from what he thought.
She thought over Su Tu's words several times and caught something.
"You, will you marry me?"
Su Tu nodded: "This is natural."
"..."
Seeing Ah Wan's silence, he asked cautiously: "Can't you? I know it's too abrupt, but... I'm going back soon. I don't know if I'll have a chance to see each other again in the future. If I don't say it, it might become a lifelong problem. Pity."
Ah Wan wanted to refuse, but of course she couldn't leave. How could she leave? She would not leave His Highness, Ah Xuan, or Xiaotong behind. They lived together like a family, how could she not want to? Are they running away with a man?
But she opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Su Tu smiled, and his nervousness eased a little, and said: "Girl, you don't have to answer immediately. You can go back and think about it carefully. Leaving your hometown is a prudent thing after all."
Ah Wan didn't know what happened to her, so she really just went back like this.
During the Chinese New Year, she had been busy for several days in a daze. Suddenly one day, when she was going out, a child was waiting at the corner of Wangfu Street. He gave her a note and ran away.
On the note, six words were written.
Yuanxi night, Mingyue Bridge.
Ah Wan guessed who was asking her out, and by some strange combination of circumstances, she came to keep the date.
Naturally, she wanted to refuse. She thought that she came here to refuse him personally and tell him to give up.
But standing here, she changed her mind.
Maybe she didn't have to keep the appointment.
If he can't wait for anyone, he will naturally return to his hometown.
Why refuse in person and embarrass each other?
Ah Wan quickly made up her mind and turned around to leave.
On Lantern Festival night, the entire Yunjing, including dozens of miles of suburbs of Beijing, is brightly lit.
River lanterns float along the river, carrying people's thoughts and blessings.
Awan bought several river lanterns from a stall and wrote her wishes on each one.
May all your wishes come true and may your Highness live a long life.
I hope my relatives will be reunited and stay together forever.
Three wishes...Master Su, have a safe journey and never have to see you again in this life. (To be continued)
