Chapter 152: Pink Tickets for Lantern Festival)

"Yes!" Fu Tingjun responded with a smile, "Let's go to West Street to watch the lights." As she spoke, she suddenly thought that Asen had been living in the outer courtyard these days and had never walked into her house. Did she have a little uncomfortable with her formally getting married? Fu Tingjun thought and asked him softly: "Do you want to go to watch the lights with us?"

Asen's eyes lit up, then he quickly glanced at Zhao Ling and murmured: "I, I don't want to go..."

Why does it sound like something insincere?

Fu Tingyun looked at Zhao Ling.

I saw Zhao Ling standing there with a cold expression on his face, no different from usual.

She smiled and said to Asen, "What's wrong with you? She talked hesitantly, but she became like me."

"No, no." Asen said hurriedly, "I didn't get along with my sister-in-law." His eyes rolled, "I, I want to bring me some Chen Fuji's silk candy when my sister-in-law comes back? I'll go to West Street with Brother Zheng and others tomorrow to watch the lights."

Fu Tingyun touched his head and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you silk candy when I come back."

Asen nodded with a smile, his bright big eyes bent like crescent moons, and his cheerful and free spirit returned to his face.

Zhao Ling helped Fu Tingyun into the carriage.

Fu Tingyun immediately pulled Zhao Ling's sleeve: "What did you say to Asen?"

"I can't understand what you mean." Zhao Ling looked like she couldn't understand, "When did I say anything to Asen?"

"You don't admit it yet." Fu Tingyun glared at him, "Or why did the child look at your eyes when he spoke? Tell me quickly, what did he say to the child?"

"I really didn't say anything." Zhao Ling refused to admit it, and said in her ear, "I'm with you every day, so I have no time to pay attention to other things. You can't wrongly accuse me." He looked in an ambiguous tone.

Fu Tingyun was not fooled and said, "I know what I have done. If you don't admit it, I won't pursue it anymore. However, he is your brother now, don't always treat him like a servant. Also, when you take the leave and return to the palace, you will ask carefully. Asen is not a young man, and it's not a big deal to always follow me. You have to find a gentleman to enlighten me. You don't expect him to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, but you have to be a student. Even if you are doing business, you will have some confidence in farming."

"I understand." Zhao Ling said a little discouraged, "I will go and ask Mr. Xu."

Fu Tingyun pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhao Ling probably wanted to be alone with him, so these things happened.

She kissed Zhao Ling gently on the cheek and said shyly: "Let's go see the lanterns."

Zhao Ling was so kissed that he immediately regained his vitality. He was energetic and hugged Fu Tingyun in his arms.

Fu Tingyun hurriedly said, "We are going to see the lanterns later. If you break my makeup and make me point fingered at me, I will never go out again."

Zhao Ling smiled embarrassedly, and it turned out that he just hugged her obediently.

Fu Tingyun was still a little worried, so she lifted the curtains of the car and looked out, pointing to the archway on the side of the road: "Where is this?"

Zhao Ling originally took her out to play, but when she saw that she was interested, she was naturally happy to answer her. She approached the car window and took a look, and said, "This is the archway on Shuangnian Street."

The driver of the car saw that Zhao Ling answered simply, and couldn't help but say, "Mrs. I don't know that this Shuang Nian Street is connected to Chaoyangmen Avenue, so a archway is erected here. To the east, Chaoyangmen Avenue, and to the west, Shuang Nian Street. Speaking of Shuang Nian Street, there is an allusion. It was said that a family named Chen in the dynasty gave birth to two sons, the big one was called Da Nian and the small one was called Xiao Nian..." The coachman said in a casual manner, like a storytelling, and heard Fu Tingyun enjoying himself, and asked a few questions from time to time. The coachman talked more and more enthusiastically. He walked along the way and said Da Nian Street, explaining Zhaofang, and after Mingzhaofang, he said Anletang. With humorous words, Fu Tingyun made him laugh and asked Zhao Ling from time to time: "Did you hear?"

Zhao Ling smiled and nodded in response to "I heard it."

Fu Tingyun could listen to the coachman again.

Zhao Ling looked at Fu Tingyun's face, which looked red because of her laughter, and felt very happy.

Only if Ah Yun is so happy will his life be perfect!

From afar, you can already see the fire trees and silver flowers on West Street.

The coachman parked the car by the side of the road and smiled and said, "Master, Madam, the carriage can no longer move, so I can only ask you two to go in and take a look."

Zhao Ling helped Fu Tingyun out of the carriage. He saw a dazzling lantern building made of various lanterns that were taller than Penglai Pavilion. From time to time, the colorful fireworks exploded in the night sky were dressed up brightly, and he laughed and laughed. Although he had not entered West Street, the bustling and hustle and bustle of Kyoto's Lantern City could be seen at a glance.

Fu Tingyun became excited.

Zhao Ling held Fu Tingyun's hand: "Follow me, be careful not to get lost."

"Yes!" Fu Tingyun nodded constantly.

The rabbit lamp made of gauze, the carousel lantern made of horse skin, the octagonal lamp made of glass, and the pearl lamp made of white silk... made Fu Tingyun, who was crowded in the crowd, was dazzling.

A sudden burst of fried pig ears wrapped in oil paper appeared in front of me.

"Give it, eat and watch it." Zhao Ling looked at her with a smile and said, "But what kind of lamp do you like? We'll buy one later."

They are no longer as good as when they were in Zhangye.

Since I bought this house, got married again, and had to support a family, Zhao Ling was single in the past, but now she has become a family, and there are still some necessary social engagements and favors. I can save one if I can!

Fu Tingyun shook her head: "I'll tell you when I like you."

Zhao Ling did not doubt that he was there, and nodded with a smile, looked up and saw a stall selling hawthorn water all over the place, and said with a smile: "Stand here and don't move, I'll buy you a cup of hawthorn water." Without waiting for Fu Tingyun to answer, he squeezed into the stall.

Fu Tingyun stood there with a smile, suddenly feeling that the noisy crowd and the crowded streets were so cute in her eyes.

When Zhao Ling bought hawthorn water, she pulled Zhao Ling to a stall selling small accessories and bought a peach wood hairpin used by a man to give it to Zhao Ling: "Although it is cheap, it has a good meaning, the workmanship is simple and natural, and it has a great sense of wisdom and slimness."

Peach wood has the meaning of warding off evil spirits.

Zhao Ling lowered his head: "You put on my hair for me."

Fu Tingyun took off the bamboo hairpin from his head and inserted it into a peach wood hairpin.

Zhao Ling pulled her hand: "Let's go, I see a stall guessing riddles in front of me, let's see if I win the lamp for you and come back."

Fu Tingyun's eyes and eyebrows were rippling with smiles, and followed Zhao Ling to the stall.

It really made Zhao Ling win. A melon-shaped lamp painted with the four gentlemen among flowers on a white silk.

"We can hang it on the head of the bed at that time." Fu Tingyun answered happily, holding it carefully, for fear that the crowd would be squeezed out.

The two of them talked and laughed, stopped and stopped, ate and drank, and played until Fu Tingyun yawned, and then Zhao Ling dragged Fu Tingyun out of the West Street.

When I arrived at the parking place, I didn't see the driver.

The two searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Seeing that Fu Tingyun yawned a few more times, Zhao Ling couldn't help but feel resentful to the coachman and said, "I have to talk to the shopkeeper of the car tomorrow, and I will deduct half of his wages."

West Street is still crowded, and the coachman probably didn't expect them to come out so soon and go to see the fun.

"I think it's all right to deduct wages." Fu Tingyun smiled, with a little cunning in her eyes, "Why don't we go back? Wouldn't it be even better to let the coachman find it easy to find them?" As she said, the coachman was worried and worried that he couldn't find them, and she couldn't help but laugh.

When Zhao Ling saw that she was happy, he naturally followed her.

If Ah Yun is tired from walking, just call a car.

He thought, and with the light in Fu Tingyun's hand, the two of them slowly walked back.

Fu Tingjun talked about the lantern festival when she was a child: "...I once lost a relative's child. Xiuzhu carried me on my back, Chen Sheng carried my fifth cousin, Huai Sheng carried my sixth cousin, and the house guarded us around the middle. When she saw the lanterns all over the street, she felt that the Milky Way fell to the ground, so shocked that she couldn't speak! At that time, my fifth cousin laughed at me, saying that it was just that the shops on the street had been hung with lanterns on their parents and Lords. I looked straight. When I arrived in Xi'an Prefecture, I saw the lanterns all over the street, and I couldn't even saliva flowed out." She said, showing a pleasant smile of memories, "I didn't expect that when I grew up, I would live in Kyoto and be lucky enough to witness the lanterns in Kyoto!"

Zhao Ling looked at her with a smile on his face.

Fu Tingyun asked him: "Is the lantern festival in Jiangnan the same as in Kyoto?"

"Different." Zhao Ling said softly, "Although all households have lanterns, and wealthy families will also invest in building lantern buildings, they are mostly built by the lake. The lights in the lake and the lantern buildings on the shore shine together. Against the backdrop of the starlight in the sky, there are stars everywhere. Although they are beautiful, they look graceful. Unlike Kyoto, the streets are spacious and the whole street is filled with lanterns. There is a lantern building every few steps, which is majestic and grand."

"After all, Kyoto is an imperial city, and it is an important place in the capital of the capital." Fu Tingjun nodded, thinking that Zhao Ling didn't like Jiangnan very much, he asked Shuoping Mansion again, "Will the lantern festival be held after August 15th?"

"Shuoping is poor, and my father did not hold a lantern festival when he was in office," Zhao Ling said. "But there are moon cakes that are stuffed with candy. Locals will store them in the jar. During the Chinese New Year, they will take them out as gift boxes to visit relatives."

"What other customs does Shuoping have?" Fu Tingyun said with interest.

"You ask me to think about it." Zhao Ling smiled, "It's too long, and I don't remember it very clearly..."

Although there were carriages passing by on the road, they were all sitting in people. The two of them walked and chatted and saw the archway on Shuangnian Street.

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Ling was shocked to realize his negligence and hurriedly said, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break before leaving?"

"No need." Fu Tingyun shook his head, "I'll be there after another turn." As he said, he accelerated his pace and went to Shuangnian Street. His feet were a little soft, and the lanterns in his hand also shook with them. The candlelight, which was already at the end of his strength, shook a few times in the wind, turning into a wisp of blue smoke, and it became dark around him.

"It's really raining." She couldn't help but mutter, but Zhao Ling could hear it clearly.

He thought for a while, then suddenly stepped forward a few steps and squatted in front of Fu Tingyun: "Come on, I'll carry you."
