Chapter 103: Flower Festival
The afternoon passed quickly, and fortunately, I finished making the sachets.
The two sachets were embroidered with a small image of her and Chu Mo, and both were filled with medicinal herbs.
It gets dark early in winter. After dinner, the sky becomes completely dark. Candles are lit everywhere, and the house becomes bright again.
At first, Yuan Zhixuan thought that Jing Yun would not go to the Wanhua Festival, so he would accompany his sister.
But now that he knew Jingxuan was going, he decided not to go with them as he had other plans.
After all, the princess and the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion are protected by secret guards and will not be in any danger.
After making up their minds, they separated in front of the mansion gate.
Jing Xuan looked at her cousin's hurriedly leaving back, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "Cousin, are you going to..."
"Go and take that idiot Wen Xuzi away." Yuan Lianye said with a smile: "If you don't make it clear, Wen Xuzi will be seduced by someone else."
Jing Yu agreed: "You have to be honest with Wen Xuzi."
"Did you bring anything?"
Jing Xuan patted the two sachets on her waist and said, "Take them and go."
The two were helped onto the carriage, which headed towards the night market.
The Wanhua Festival is very simple. To put it in today's terms, it is a city-wide gathering.
Men and women of marriageable age in the capital can hold a specific bouquet of flowers. When they meet someone they like, they can hand the flowers to him or her. If the other person takes the flowers and gives him or her his or her own flowers, it means that the two are in love with each other.
It is possible to try to get along with each other or get engaged in the future.
Of course, celebrating the holidays is not just about finding someone to send flowers.
It is also a very lively night market. The vendors set up their stalls early and shouted to attract customers, with the sounds of hawking one after another.
Lantern festivals, acrobatics, martial arts competitions...all kinds of activities are endless and dazzling.
The streets are crowded with tourists, some are watching the lantern festival, some are listening to folk songs in restaurants, some are leisurely pouring a pot of good wine, eating peanuts on the plate, and quietly watching the moon rise above the building in the bustling city.
It was a lively scene.
There are vendors who specialize in selling flower bouquets at the entrance of the market. If you don’t want to find your significant other, you can choose not to accept the bouquet and just enjoy the night market.
Of course, Jing Xuan and her companion did not come here to watch the night market lantern festival tonight.
After receiving the bouquets, they walked into the market.
This was their first time attending the Flower Festival and they felt that it was not much different from any other night market, the only difference being that many people were holding flowers.
Thinking of this, the two of them were not nervous anymore. They walked hand in hand, stopping from time to time, and strolled around.
It was clearly night, but the lanterns hanging overhead were exquisite and varied, lighting up the sky as if a hole had been burned into the black curtain.
Jing Xuan looked up at the candle. The bright orange candlelight illuminated her amber eyes, as if a fire was burning in her eyes, bright, hot, and dazzling.
Jing Xuan smiled brightly, and suddenly, the candlelight softened, outlining her beautiful outline, as if she had been plated with a layer of gold, making her look gentle and beautiful.
Yuan Lianye looked at her and thought, Xuanxuan seemed to be even more beautiful.
She frowned slightly, and then realized that many young men around her were looking at her.
As soon as Yuan Lianye mentioned this, she quickly pulled Jingyun to the stall to buy two masks.
After putting on the masks, the two hurriedly left the place, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that no one followed them.
"Cousin, guess the riddles!" Jing Yu pointed in that direction excitedly.
Yuan Lianye was also very interested and walked over while holding her dress.
There are many lanterns hanging here, and under each lantern is a small piece of paper leading directly to the largest and most gorgeous lantern.
There were many people around, some were thinking, some were watching the fun.
Jing Xuan and Yuan Lianye finally squeezed to the front and asked the boss, "What is the puzzle?"
The boss was a middle-aged man, smiling gently and cheerfully: "Thirty-six hours!"
Jing Yu was stunned: "Thirty-six hours?"
The young master beside her explained to her: "The puzzle is thirty-six hours, guess a word."
"Thirty-six hours?" Yuan Lianye found this puzzle confusing. He frowned and thought in distress.
