Rebirth after waste

Chapter 47

Linqing 26 years?

Gu Yunxian remembered that she came to Longjiangchi in the 25th year of Linqing, which was only a year away.

what a pity.

"Hey, madam, do you want to meet a certain friend?" The boss asked enthusiastically.

Gu Yunxian shook his head, "No more trouble."

If such a new thing happened before getting married, she would definitely want to find out.However, today is not what it used to be, she has a special status, so don't cause trouble for yourself.

Lowering her head, she began to concentrate on choosing the river lantern.

Seeing her like this, the boss swallowed back the words that were on his lips: Actually, the person who wrote the inscription was right behind him.

The small stall was placed in front of a row of willow trees. At this moment, in the dark place under the shade of the trees, there was a tall and straight figure sitting on the ground.Dressed in black clothes, with a leisurely posture, obviously lying in the wild, but it seems to be in a golden and jade hall, and the appearance is free and romantic.

A girl vaguely caught a glimpse of this figure and sized it up curiously, but he was wearing a straw hat on his head and his face was covered by a black veil, so he couldn't see clearly.

"Who is that man? I think he has been here since sunset. After turning around a few times, he didn't even change his posture, just like a sculpture." A woman muttered.

"I don't know either. I guess it's a relative of the vendor." There was thought in his tone, "I remember that last year he seemed to be here too, and he sat there all night without moving."

"Here every year? This person doesn't have a brain problem!" The woman said, her thoughts turned to other places, "But although I can't see the face, just looking at the figure, it is tall and straight, maybe He is a handsome man!"

"Dan Niang, you are really not ashamed!" There was a burst of laughter, "It doesn't matter how good the appearance is, a wooden idiot, even if he grows into Pan An Songyu, he has no energy!"

Gu Yunxian frowned as the women's chatter and laughter came from his ears, and looked in the direction they said, and indeed saw a motionless figure.

It's a man.

They said that he was also here last year. Could it be that this is the person who wrote the inscription?

Just as he was thinking, the figure suddenly moved, stood up slowly, and walked towards her.

Gu Yunxian looked at him passively, unable to move.

The boss, Tong Yi, listened to the soft voice of those girls, and was struggling in his heart, whether to betray his friends and get close to these beautiful girls.

The choice was too difficult, and his brows were wrinkled in distress.

"Hello." A low voice came into his ears, making him froze suddenly, "If you don't greet guests, what are you thinking?"

"You, you...how did you get up?" Tong Yi stammered.

Through the black veil, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but Gu Yunxian felt that he should be frowning, "I won't get up, just let you be in a daze, let's go back and go with the northwest wind!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked Gu Yun enviously, "What kind of river lantern does Madam want?"

Tong Yi stared blankly at his back, thinking: Do you, Mr. Cui Liu, still need the money I earn from selling river lanterns to support you?

In previous years, it was not said that it would be divided into ah!
"I see it myself." Gu Yunxian said lightly.

"I see that Madam has not chosen for a long time, and I think these lamps are not to my liking." The man's voice was low, but I don't know if it was Gu Yunxian's illusion, but I always felt that there was a faint tenderness in it, "I have a treasured lamp. , maybe Madam Nengbo will smile."

Gu Yunxian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't bear to miss it, "Then please allow me to take a look."

He bent down, took out a river lantern from the box below, and handed it to her with both hands.

Gu Yunxian hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.I saw that the river lantern was made into a boat shape as a whole, with a three-story building on it.The whole boat is not big, but it is extremely exquisitely made, she can even see the carved windows on each floor, as well as the tables, chairs and screens in the house.

She didn't notice the stunned look of the boss beside her, she was already fascinated by it.This is actually a model of a big boat, but it is made into a river lantern that can float along the water.There is a white sail hanging on the bow of the boat, with beautiful handwriting on it: May your words be worthy of virtue, and join hands with each other; not fly, and let me perish.

Her heart tightened.

Such infatuation and paranoia are the same as she used to be.However, after reliving her life, she no longer dared to read such sentences.

After a long time, she finally raised her head, "Such a baby, are you willing to give up?"

He seemed to laugh, "No matter how good something is, it must meet someone who understands it before it can realize its value. From my point of view, this lamp is just right for Madam."

He spoke generously, but she smiled slightly, "Your Excellency, I am very grateful for your kindness. However, you will not be rewarded if you have no merit, please forgive me for not accepting it." Picking up the lotus-shaped river lantern beside her, "Boss, I want This one."

"Oh... okay." Tong Yi was stunned for a while before stepping up to accept the coin from her.

She didn't say any more, just bowed slightly, "Forgive me." She turned and left.

He looked at the river lantern in his hand, and then at the slim figure, with a wry smile on his lips.

She was still the same as last time, leaving without hesitation, as if she never thought that there might be someone standing behind her, watching her back, hoping to turn around once.

She walked further and further away, slowly joining the bustling crowd.He knew that there was a person waiting for her in front of him, and he would put the river lantern into the river with her.

That man can do what he is not qualified to do.

"Why have you been here for so long?" the emperor said lightly, "I still think something happened to you."

"Your husband is too worried, but those river lanterns are too exquisite and interesting, so I will take a look at them for a while longer." She smiled.

He took the lamp from her hand and looked it over carefully, "It's really exquisite. I can't imagine that ordinary craftsmen in Yudu have such good craftsmanship." When he scanned the inscription on it, his expression paused, "This word... .”

"Your Majesty also thinks this word is very good, right?" Gu Yunxian smiled, "The boss said that it was written by his friend. I thought it was really rare, so I picked one."

He pondered for a while, then smiled, "It's really good."

Scanning around carefully, he said again: "Why is there no flower note inside?"

She was taken aback, "I forgot again."

He looked at her in silence.

She felt guilty for no reason under such gaze, and hurriedly snatched the river lantern, "It's the same for the concubine to make a wish in her heart."

Seeing that he didn't answer, she moved closer and smiled, "This lotus lantern represents my concubine's wish. I think the gods know it, so they must understand it."

He thought of the pair of Bing Tilian's sachets she made, and his heart softened.

Reaching out to stroke her temples, he sighed imperceptibly, with a slight compromise in his eyes, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want."

During the Shangyuan Festival in the fourth year of Yongjia, Gu Yunxian and Ji Xun put down a lotus-shaped lantern by the Longjiang Pool.

The river is long, just like six years ago.

That time, she let go of her most pious wish here, but got a heart-wrenching ending.Now revisiting the old place, the one who accompanies her is the man she had been thinking of in the past, but she can no longer make a wish.

The lantern drifted farther and farther away, and she felt Ji Xun reach out and wrap her arms around her shoulders.She smiled slightly, and leaned obediently in his arms, her heart was as calm as the surface of a lake in March.

The Lantern Festival finally ended at midnight, and the street vendors who sold river lanterns also went home.Tong Yi's family lives in Yongpingfang near the West Market, and it is still full of people and lively.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a tangy aroma, and a pretty figure came out from under the kitchen, and said with a smile, "Brother, Liulang, you are back! Come and eat Yuanxiao, I just cooked it."

Tong Yi put away the few remaining river lanterns, sat down in front of the food table, picked up the celadon bowl and started to eat, while eating, he said indistinctly, "I'm exhausted, you didn't see it, There are so many people in Longjiangchi tonight!" He raised his voice and greeted, "Liulang, come and taste this Lantern Festival, Yunxuan's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

Tong Yunxuan heard the words and said with a smile: "That's right, I don't even look at who your sister is!" She glanced at Cui Shuo, her eyebrows as slender as willow leaves raised slightly, "I said Liulang, why are you still wearing it when we're all home?" That thing? Quickly pick it up!"

After speaking, without waiting for his reaction, he reached out and took off his hat.

The black veil brushed past his eyes, revealing the incomparably handsome face under the veil.

Tong Yunxuan stared at him obsessively for a while, and said in a sleepwalking voice: "No matter how many times I see you, Liu Lang, you are always charming and enviable!"

Cui Shuo has long been used to this girl's crazy behavior, so he ignores her at the moment, just sits down in front of the food table, looks at the Yuanxiao in the bowl and remains silent.

Tong Yunxuan noticed that his complexion was different, and cast a probing look at Tong Yi.Tong Yi coughed lightly, and said, "Yunxuan, go and clean up those things, it doesn't make sense to pile them up there."

Tong Yunxuan knew that he wanted to let her go, but she was always reluctant.However, seeing Cui Shuo's expression, he still felt that it would be better for someone to comfort him, so he slowly went out with He Deng in his arms.

"What's wrong with you tonight?" Seeing his sister leave, Tong Yi asked with concern.

Cui Shuo smiled faintly, "What's wrong?"

"You still want to hide it from me?" Tong Yi frowned, "You spent more than half a year carving that river lantern by yourself. It is the most precious thing on weekdays. Even Yunxuan is not allowed to look at it. Why tonight? Suddenly want to sell it to the lady?"

"Didn't I say that, I met someone destined, so I'm willing to part with it." He said.

Tong Yi frowned, and after looking at him for a long time, Fang sighed, "Your temper has become more and more weird in recent years. Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Swallowed half of the Lantern Festival, "I I know, you scholars have a lot of thoughts, and it's not something a big old man like me can understand. But I want you to know that although I, Tong Yi, am just a businessman with no power or influence, I am also a dignified man. You are my friend , if you have any difficulties, even if I risk my life, I will help you."

Cui Shuo looked at him, was silent for a while, and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll save it."

Tong Yi took a sip of soup, "The ninth day of February is Chunwei, are you sure?"

Cui Shuo bowed his head and smiled softly for a long time, "Naturally. This time, I have to succeed no matter what."
