He Yunxi had the illusion that everyone seemed to be doing it on purpose.
Deliberately creating opportunities for her and Lu Yan to be alone.
But she has no evidence.
"Let's go, let's go for a walk too?" Lu Yan said to her.
"Okay. Now that we're all here, let's take a look."
So the two of them walked forward along with the flow of people. Because there were a lot of people, Lu Yan used his body to block the crowd for her.
He Yunxi didn't notice it at first, but later realized that no matter which stall he went to, no one was crowded, and then he noticed that he was protecting her.
And looking at him, he was doing it very casually, as if it was the instinct of his body.
He Yunxi's heart was touched.
Lu Yan saw her looking at the lanterns and then back at him, thinking he had chosen which one he had chosen, and said, "The lanterns here are pretty good, and the lantern riddles are pretty good too. Whichever one you want, I'll win it for you."
He Yunxi's face felt a little hot, and his heart beat a little faster.
She raised a smile: "I want the most beautiful one, the king of lanterns tonight."
Lu Yan: "No problem. The Lamp King is at Baiwei Tower, where should we go?"
"OK!"
There were more people in front of her. Lu Yan took her hand and saw the dull look on her face, and explained awkwardly: "There are too many people, so hold hands to avoid getting separated."
He Yunxi felt that he was looking for an excuse to hold her little hand, but his expression was too serious, which made her think that her idea might be selfish.
Lu Yan led her forward. In the night, her ears were so red.
The two of them were squeezed in the middle of the crowd, and there were so many people on the street that no one noticed the little hands they were holding.
He Yunxi felt the warmth coming from his palm, and covered his thumping chest with his other hand.
When I was on missions in my previous life, I would sometimes hold hands with my teammates, but this was the first time I held hands with a boy like this.
Such a good-looking and gentle young woman would say flirtatious words to her from time to time, but she was cold and aloof to others. She felt that her aunt's heart was really beating uncontrollably.
Last time he said that you can only take a scoop of three thousand weak water, maybe you can believe it?
Lu Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he saw that He Yunxi didn't break free from his hand.
One step closer.
The two of them followed the flow of people and walked slowly to the front of Baiwei Building. At this time, a medium-sized platform was set up in front of the gate of Baiwei Building, and a shelf was set up in front of the building. The shelf was covered with lanterns, and only lanterns were hung on the highest place.
An exquisite octagonal palace lantern with tassels hanging from the octagonal corners, very beautiful.
This is the king of lights tonight.
At this point, he had to let go of He Yunxi's hand. His palm was empty, and he felt that his heart was also empty.
"I'll go and win the Lantern King for you."
"Okay. It's up to you. Come on!"
He Yunxi smiled at him, and he felt that he was in a better mood again.
He Yan was presiding above. When he saw He Yunxi and Lu Yan, he nodded and greeted them.
We haven't started guessing the Lantern King's lantern riddles yet. You can guess other lantern riddles. If you guess correctly, you can take away the corresponding lantern. So He Yan is also busy now.
The battle for the Lamp King usually starts at the end.
"Do you want anything else?" Lu Yan asked.
He Yunxi shook his head.
There are many beautiful lanterns here, but she is not a little girl anymore and will not keep them for herself just because she likes them.
These beautiful lanterns should accompany those innocent and lovely girls.
Seeing that she really didn't want anything, Lu Yan said, "Then I'm going to get the qualifications?"
Since he is the Lamp King, it is not something that can be obtained by ordinary people. You need to solve ten mysteries, match five pairs, and write two poems before you can be qualified to participate in the competition for the Lamp King.
Those who have obtained the qualification can go to the store to rest and wait, and can also enjoy the lanterns in the private room upstairs.
Baiweilou is not open to the public tonight, and has specially reserved private rooms for everyone to use for free. This is a kind of respect from businessmen to scholars.
Lu Yan went to tell him that he wanted to participate in the lamp king competition, and the clerk immediately gave him a piece of paper with the qualification questions on it. These were not difficult, and Lu Yan answered them quickly.
"Master Lu, you have been qualified to compete for the Lantern King. There is a private room upstairs. You can go up and wait." The waiter took a sign and handed it to Lu Yan with both hands.
The people at Baiweilou were very grateful to the people from the Lu family. The seasonings they sold to Baiweilou made Baiweilou's business even more prosperous. In order to reward everyone for their hard work, Yuan Yuan gave them a salary increase.
So everyone likes the couple very much.
Lu Yan took the sign and saw that it corresponded to the number of the private room. He said thank you and took He Yunxi in.
They arrived earlier, so there were several private rooms. And because of their good relationship with Baiweilou, the waiter gave them the private room with the best view. Looking from this private room, you can have an unobstructed view of the grand scene in front of and behind the street.
You can see lantern festivals held in other places.
He Yunxi saw the people gathered in other places and said, "How about the lamp kings in other places?"
"The ones from Baiweilou are always the best and the hardest to get. Those who are truly capable will be proud to get the Lantern King from Baiweilou." Lu Yan explained.
"I just heard that if you win the Lamp King, in addition to the Lamp King, you can also get silver?"
"Yes. Every place does it. In the past, Baiwei Lou gave me ten taels of silver. In other places, some gave me eight taels, and some gave me five taels."
"For ordinary people, ten taels of silver is quite generous. Shopkeeper Yuan is so generous." He Yunxi sighed.
"Shopkeeper Yuan is helping these students in disguise," Lu Yan said.
At this time in his previous life, he was broken and penniless. In order to have money to buy food for Lu Yu and Lu Qi, he also participated in this lantern festival. Originally, he was rewarded with ten taels of silver every year. After seeing him,
Yuan Yuan increased the reward to twenty taels.
Although he knew there was sympathy involved, he had to accept it at that time because he and his two children had not eaten for two days.
Relying on this money, they got through this period of time. Yuan Yuan was a life-saving grace for them. A few years later, he was hunted and returned to Yanjiang City again, and it was he who saved him.
Looking back now, he no longer remembers what the lantern riddles were this time, but the palace lantern will always be in his mind in the days to come, and his memory is still fresh.
He Yunxi lay on the window and looked at the bustling people coming and going on the street. She tried to look for the children at home, but she didn't see any of them.
At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the front of Baiwei Building. He Yunxi looked at it and said, "Lu Yan, your classmate is here."
Lu Yan came over to take a look and said, "They made an appointment before and invited me."
"Then shall we ask them to come with us?" He Yunxi asked.
These people have a good relationship with him. Now that they have met, they should be together, right?
Who knew that Lu Yan refused without even thinking about it: "No."
