Oops, He Baobao covered his mouth, he was too excited and said the words without any scruples.
Rolling his eyes, He Baobao explained in a low voice: "I'm talking about counting from the day when I broke the shell and transformed."
Tantai heard the frustration in her words: "They are just fireworks. There are many in the Demon Palace. If you want to let them go in the future, just go to the warehouse to find them."
"really!!"
There really are fireworks in the Demon Palace, which is inconsistent with the dark and domineering temperament of the Demon Palace.
"Why did I lie to you?" Tantai moved his gaze to the fireworks in the sky.
In fact, he was lying to her. There were no such things as fireworks in the Demon Palace, but for the joy of seeing small things, someone could prepare some.
The pull on the little finger became tighter, and He Baobao frowned: "But the Magic Palace is not a festival, so when can we let out the smoke?"
Tantai's expression remained unchanged: "There is no such rule in the palace."
If the manager of the Demon Palace were here and heard Tantai's words, he would probably vomit blood and shout that he had double standards.
After all, the Demon Palace never celebrates festivals, and they have already assumed that His Majesty doesn't like to make noise.
"That's good." He Baobao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
Feeling the strength on her little finger, Tantai curled her lips slightly.
The old lady and grandfather at the noodle stall helped each other out and walked out, with festive smiles on their faces.
The old woman said: "The fireworks have been going off for a long time, maybe the Lantern Festival is about to officially begin."
"Old lady, the Lantern Festival hasn't officially started yet?"
Seeing the excitement, He Baobao always thought that it had already started.
The old woman looked at her lovingly: "Of course not. There are rules for this Lantern Festival. It only starts after the fireworks are sounded for a moment and the cannons are fired and the gongs are sounded."
"Once the Lantern Festival officially begins, there will be many interesting activities, including lion and dragon dances, guessing riddles, setting off lanterns, and enjoying songs and dances."
The old woman looked at the upright man next to He Baobao and said with a smile: "If the husband and the young lady can catch up, they can still see the goddess's float dancing across the street."
He Baobao's little head popped up: "Goddess?"
"The goddess is played free of charge by the oiran in the Baihua Tower. After the Lantern Festival begins, she will come dressed in colorful clothes and come in a fragrant car and a BMW."
"She will accept blessings from all the people on behalf of Lord Hua Sang and convey their long-cherished wishes to Lord Hua Sang."
He Baobao frowned, pulled Tantai's sleeves, and asked him to bend down. He stood on tiptoes and said, "Isn't this a lie?"
Let an oiran accept the blessings of all the people for Hua Sangjun, let Hua Sangjun know about it, and he should not be so angry that he lifts the coffin board.
The old woman seemed to know He Baobao's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Our courtesans in Baihua House are all prostitutes rather than prostitutes, and they are all from good families and are very innocent."
There was no intention to blame He Baobao in his words, he just explained to her with a smile.
He Baobao felt ashamed of having her little thoughts exposed. She touched her nose and said sincerely: "It's me who is narrow-minded."
"The goddess has a specially crafted lantern in her hand, which is only given to those who are destined to have it."
"How to distinguish between destined people?" It's not like the one with the highest price will get it.
"When the car and BMW that the goddess is riding in pass by everyone, if the light lights up, it means you have met the destined person."
These words made He Baobao feel itchy in her heart. She also wanted to see what the goddess looked like.
The old man on the side saw what she was thinking: "You must be outsiders. It's rare to come here. Since it's the Lantern Festival, you might as well go and experience it."
"Okay, okay!!" He Baobao clapped his hands and cheered.
"Oh, since we are older, we won't be able to get involved with young people like you. Old lady, pack up and get ready to go home."
The figures of the two people got into the noodle stall again, and the sound of conversation could be heard intermittently.
"I prepared a lantern for you today. When we pass by the Junzi River later, you and I will put it out."
"Oh, you are so old, why are you still doing this?"
"In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful person in my life. Since I promised you that I will put out lanterns for you every year, I can't break my promise."
The old man insisted on explaining to the old woman: "If you put the lantern with wishes written on it into the Junzi River, your wishes will come true. It has been left there for so many years and cannot be interrupted."
He Baobao listened to the conversation between the two of them, and felt a warm current in his heart for no reason. The most beloved person in the world is probably nothing more than this.
We stayed together for a lifetime, and we never mentioned a single word of love, but there was love everywhere.
A rough finger fell on the corner of the eye, wiping away the moisture overflowing from the corner of the eye: "Why are you crying?"
He Baobao looked at the bright color on Tantai's fingertips and covered his face: "I am so touched."
Tantai curled his lips: "Don't be envious. When you grow up, I will personally choose a husband for you."
If you want to take the little things away from him, just pass him naturally.
"Who is envious?!" He Baobao went crazy.
She was angry: "Besides, it's me who wants to get married, not you, so why do I need you to see me?!"
"Since she is the one I want to marry, all I need to do is be happy with her."
In fact, He Baobao just said that she only wanted to go back, so how could she find a husband here.
"No!!" Tantai scolded coldly.
He Baobao didn't expect his reaction to be so big. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not?"
"If I say it can't be done, it can't be done."
Not wanting to talk to her, Tantai grabbed her neck and pushed her away forcefully.
"You haven't answered my question yet, why are you pushing me?!"
"Don't you want to see the goddess? I will go with you."
He was just too lazy to compete with her. For some reason, when he thought that this little thing would leave him one day, he became more and more irritable and depressed.
"But I haven't finished eating my noodles yet?" He Baobao's attention was successfully attracted by the goddess, but he was still thinking about her noodles.
Tantai hit her: "Those two are already preparing to close their stall, why do you bother them when they go back to celebrate the festival."
"If you're still hungry, just go buy it."
He Baobao was puzzled: "Huh? How come I didn't notice when you started thinking about others?" He was still an insignificant person.
"He Baobao, you have to make me angry?!"
"Hum hum--"
"I haven't picked up the lantern yet..."
"I'll buy it for you. I'll buy it for you."
The two gradually walked away, leaving only the dining table with two bowls, one large and one small, and an exquisite lantern left here.
The goddess's float came out of the statue dedicated to Lord Huasang. When He Baobao and Tantai arrived, the float had already arrived on the street, and there was still some distance to go before the parade was over.
The whole street is filled with warm yellow and festive red lanterns. Everyone, regardless of gender, is holding a lantern in their hands. Looking from a distance, you can see a grand lion and dragon dance in front, and a faint drama behind you. The sound of the troupe singing along with the melody of gongs and drums was indescribably spectacular.
When they came to the street, He Baobao had a sudden idea and bought a mask for her and Tantai each.
Hers is a pink piglet, and Tantai's is an evil ghost mask with half of its chin exposed.
The float was clustered with colorful flowers, and the white gauze curtains fluttered, revealing the appearance of a goddess. The dress was gorgeous and unconventional, and the fairy spirit floated like a goddess descending to earth.
The goddess stepped barefoot among thousands of flowers. Among her catkins, which were whiter than snow, she held a lantern made of azure glazed crystals. There was a prismatic gemstone in the center. The entire lantern was dim, but it did not affect it at all.
It's so exquisite that people really want to see how it lights up. This chapter has been completed!
