Chapter 155 The river lamp is the soul
In view of the great failure and failure of this micro-service trip, Huang Baiju looked at Gu Zitao, who was hanging her head, and said to the second prince Feng Zifeng with a little hesitation, "There is a lantern party on the Sudi River around the fifth day of March. Although the scale is far less lively than that of the Menghe Lantern Festival, it is also an old custom in our capital.
Gu Zitao was the first to jump up and support it with both hands. His eyes just couldn't wait to jump over and lick the yellow and white oranges a few bites. Okay, okay, I wanted to see the Sudihe Lantern Festival when I was a child, but my father always said that those are all customs that ordinary people like, and I am not allowed to go.
Feng Ziqi opened her mouth faintly, and her long and narrow phoenix eyes actually glanced at Yunshang, which sounded very vigorously, "Isn't there a Sudi River Lantern Festival in Yangzhou?"
Yunshang was fascinated by listening. When asked by him, he answered in a daze, "No, but there is also a river called Sudi River."
Everyone was silent for a second, and then laughed. Even Lu Shen's face was followed by a smile. Yunshang looked at them with a little puzzlement, "What are you laughing about?"
Everyone was busy laughing, and Mr. Lu Jin was the most interesting. He explained to her softly, "You, is it time to make up for the history class? The Sudi River in the capital is a small stream from Yangzhou.
Yunshang was stunned after listening to it, and then smiled and grabbed his head. "So that's it. In fact, I'm very good at history, but what I know is a little different from what you know."
"Okay, in order to let Yunshang, a child who is good at history, see the folk customs of the people of the capital, let's go to see this Sudi River Lantern Festival tonight." The yellow and white orange made the final decision.
Gu Zitao smiled and compared a V gesture to Yunshang. Yunshang was stunned. Hey, that's good. Gu Seedao has learned this special gesture.
Because of the insomnia and disturbance last night, Yunshang ran back to her room early after dinner in the afternoon to have a good sleep. In the evening, Gu Zitao came to find her. Everyone gathered in the small building of Lianxin, and then ran to the Sudi River together.
The Sudi River is close to the city in the eastern suburbs of the capital. This place is where the village borders the city. The people are simple and enthusiastic, and there are restaurants, inns, and Sheng Xiao Chu Hall that look very high-class. Because of the Sudi River Lantern Festival, the girls in the brothels on both sides tonight are dressed in red and green and leaning against the hook. He raised the small handkerchief in his hand and waved to the young men on the road.
Yunshang looked around, and Lu Jin looked at Yunshang, who was staring at a girl, with great embarrassment. Yunshang looked at the girl with a pink skirt with more than half of her body leaning out of the railing, but it was very attractive to see that her breasts were half exposed, and a touch of emerald green breasts were exposed in the middle of the pink coat. A pair of bright eyes stared straight at Lou Yunyu.
She looked at the girl and Lou Yunyu walking beside her. Lou Yunyu shook the fan and walked forward as if she didn't see the girl around her, and whispered, "If you have something to say, you have looked at me with twelve eyes."
Yunshang lowered her head and giggled, and covered her mouth and said, "I just want to ask the fourth brother, is the girl whose eyes almost fell on you just now? Is your blue jade girl in Cuiyun Tower good-looking?"
Mr. Lou Si blushed and coughed calmly, "I haven't asked you whether Mr. Lu is good or your lotus is good."
Yunshang was also surprised. He really looked back at Lu Jin, who was deliberately left behind by himself. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said to Lou Yunyu very seriously, "Don't mention it, each has its own advantages."
Lu Shen's face changed, and he took a few steps forward angrily, looking at Lu Jin inexplicably.
Yunshang just talked to Lu Jin, and there was one more person beside him. He was shocked, rolled his eyes angrily and moved to the side. Lu Shen suddenly turned around and took her. Yunshang couldn't stand, so he fell into the mud.
"Alas? Why did you fall down while walking well? Gu Zitao came to help her up and patted the dirt on her body, which was a little puzzled. Yunshang knew in her heart who was making trouble in the dark, but she didn't say it and rubbed her buttocks. "It's not too dark for me. I didn't see clearly that there was a stinky stone on it, which tripped me." After saying that, he kicked it to the ground and said angrily, "You stinky and hard stone. I'll go my own way. It's your business!"
Lu Shen's face remained unchanged and continued to move forward.
Gu Zitao told Yunshang that he was still worried, but the two of them took hands and walked together.
The Sudi River is really crowded and crowded. Today is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shangyuan and other festivals, but the atmosphere is also extremely lively driven by the people around. It seems that people from all directions have poured out of the village and come here to feel the good luck brought by the Lantern Festival of the Sudi River.
Legend has it that the good men and women who put down the river lanterns here will spend the whole year with the people they love.
Gu Zitao Baba has told all the folklore here, and they have also arrived at the upper reaches of the Sudi River.
Yunshang squatted down, drank a handful of water, put it in his mouth and took a sip. Gu Zitao exclaimed, "Put it down quickly. How cold it is."
Yunshang swallowed the water carelessly, but frowned. He looked at the trickle Sudi River faintly and said, "Brother Lu said that this river and the Sudi River in Yangzhou are a bloodline. I want to drink the taste of my hometown from this water."
Gu Zitao was speechless and let her take another sip of water. The water was cool, and it should even be said that it had a little cold taste, which was so astringent that it was difficult to swallow. Yunshang stood up and shook her head, shook off the drops of water in her hand, and said, "Oh, even the water flowing out of the Sudi River will not maintain its original sweetness and clarity after such a long and distance of washing, will it?"
She sighed. Feng Zixiang couldn't help but come forward with a few tears in her eyes, held her hand and said, "Sister Yunshang, don't be sad. The capital is also your home. Aren't you still around?"
Yunshang smiled faintly, glanced at the people around her with different expressions, and said softly, "Thank you, Princess Zixiang. I'm not missing my hometown, I'm just verifying that Lu Yao knows that he will see people's hearts for a long time. She was smiling on her face, but the smile was far from reaching the bottom of her eyes.
Lou Yunyu and others walked along the bank of the east bank and saw Yunshang and Feng Zixiang holding hands together. They couldn't help but look at each other with Lu Jin. Lu Jin was stunned, but quickly looked at the second prince Feng Ziqi.
And Feng Ziqi was talking and laughing with Huang Baiju, as if she didn't notice the situation here.
Lu Jin lowered his voice and said to Lou Yunyu beside him, "What's your sister? Do you have any confidence in your heart?
Lou Yunyu showed a trace of panic in his expression, and soon regained his usual cynicality. He picked up his shoulder and hit the fan on his shoulder. "Don't say, what I think of me. I, a brother, really don't know."
Lu Jin seemed to ask for nothing. He walked forward and caught up with the laughing Feng Zijing and Huang Baiju over there. He left a Lu Shen alone and followed Lou Yunyu to walk slowly behind.
Lou Yunyu seemed to want to say something. As soon as he looked back and saw Lu Shen Tieqing's face, he thought that because of the "Big Tie Niu" incident during the day, it seemed that this man would not have any good appearance for him, so he had to give up the idea of talking and chatting with him.
He didn't say anything, but walked with his head down, but he heard a cheer in front of him and looked up. It turned out that a flower boat about ten meters long was lowered along the source of the Sudi River. This flower boat is full of flowers, and Yunshang can't help wondering. How can there be so many flowers in this season? If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that those flowers are made of silk cloth, but they are well-made and difficult for people to see clearly.
Gu Zitao played the most happily. She raised her hands along the embankment and kept smiling and running all the time. The silver string in her hand made a beautiful sound. At this time, there was no Miss Gu Jia. Like other girls on the shore, she chased the flower boat and gathered downstream.
Yunshang doesn't like to join in these lively scenes. She always feels that she can see some sadness and bitterness in the face of these lively scenes. Therefore, she has developed the habit of avoiding these lively places and occasions, which is an exception today.
The crowd gradually faded away. She walked next to the railing of the river embankment. The water wave was not frightened. Occasionally, there were a few faint water ripples on the writing. There are also river lanterns left by the girls on the water. A small section of candles are lit on the lanterns of different shapes. From a distance, the river looks like a Milky Way hanging upside down from the sky.
He patted the railing with one hand, and the cool breeze rushed to his face with the moisture of the Sudi River. Yunshang simply narrowed her eyes and enjoyed the rare quietness and tranquility.
Someone stopped beside her. It was Lu Jin.
Yunshang was stunned and smiled, "Brother Lu."
Lu Jin's face was a little embarrassed and shy. Yun Shang looked at him strangely. Lu Jin took out a river lamp from behind and handed it to her. He still had one in his hand.
Yunshang was surprised and said, "Brother Lu, where did you get such a beautiful river lamp?"
Lu Jin said shyly, "Mr. Huang bought it for everyone during the day, saying that it can be used at night. This is your share."
Yunshang said "Oh" and took over the river lamp and put it in the palm of her hand to look at it carefully. Sure enough, she felt that this lamp was different from the lamps of ordinary people floating on the river, and the workmanship was even more exquisite. She lit the candle and smelled it, even the candle was ingenious, which seemed to have a The faint fragrance of lotus is really a veritable lantern.
Yunshang and Lu Jin walked down the river bank and stopped at a place near the water. Lu Jin said, "Before putting on the lights, you should make a wish to the river woman. It is said that the river woman of this river is very effective."
Yunshang smiled and said, "You even believe this." Lu Jin was surprised and said, "Don't you believe in gods?"
Yunshang shook his head, pointed to the river lanterns floating on the river, and said, "Instead of believing in those illusory things, I might as well naively think that each river lamp floating under the water is a pure soul of a young girl."
