Tang Wan tasted a few pieces of chestnut cakes. She had eaten a lot at the flower banquet and was now a little full.
After eating a few pieces of chestnut cake, my stomach felt fuller.
I feel bloated and a little nauseous.
It's bustling outside. It's already dusk. As usual, the people should have gone to have their meals. Why is it so noisy outside now?
Unable to resist her curiosity, she secretly lifted the car curtain.
But I saw that the streets and alleys were decorated with lights, and men, women, and children were holding lanterns of different sizes and colors in their hands.
"Is today the Lantern Festival?"
"Well, it seems so. I didn't celebrate these festivals in the past, so I'm not sure." Mo Tingzhu squinted his eyes and looked at the colorful lights.
Tang Wan said gently, "I heard that if you light the same lantern with your loved one on the Lantern Festival, you will be together forever and never be separated."
"Are you serious?" Mo Tingzhu became visibly excited and immediately became interested.
"Why would I lie to you? These are all folk customs. You didn't celebrate this festival before, so it's normal that you don't know about it."
"Madam, how about we go downstairs to digest the food and buy some lanterns to set off together?" Mo Tingzhu asked tentatively.
"Okay." Tang Wan agreed happily.
After receiving the affirmation, Mo Tingzhu turned around and tried to get off the carriage, but was held by a slender hand: "Put on your cloak."
"Okay, okay." He quickly tied his cloak and jumped out of the carriage first. He didn't take the stool, but just opened his arms.
Tang Wan jumped into his arms and smelled the faint scent of incense on him.
Mo Tingzhu caught her steadily. The training he had been doing these days was quite effective, and he didn't even shake.
He even lifted her up and said, "You're too thin. You should eat more good food to replenish your body."
"It sounds good, but I'm afraid it's really gone wrong. You'll start complaining about this and that and go out and find someone else."
"I'm not that kind of person."
Mo Tingzhu is now under control, and as time goes by, even his temperament has changed a lot.
I became a tsundere, getting angry at the slightest provocation, and then calming myself down after a while.
Of course, if they are too angry, they still need to be coaxed.
"Okay, let's go over there and take a look. There are a lot of people selling lanterns up ahead."
"OK."
The two of them walked along the way, and the various lanterns dazzled them.
More is more, but it also means it is harder to choose.
Tang Wan was a bit picky and had been searching for so long but still hadn't found the one she liked.
The sky was gradually getting dark. It gets dark early in winter, but because the whole street was decorated with lanterns, it was still very bright.
Just when she was feeling a little discouraged, she saw an exquisite rabbit lantern, which was extremely delicate and particularly suited her taste.
She immediately patted Mo Tingzhu: "I want that."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
Mo Tingzhu took a few steps forward and picked up the rabbit lantern first.
"I saw it first." A tender child's voice sounded, with a hint of anger in the tone.
Mo Tingzhu heard the sound and looked left and right, but didn't see anyone.
"I'm here!!!"
Mo Tingzhu looked down and saw a little girl with two buns on her head, looking angry.
She was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a gold locket around her neck and small pearl flowers on her head, which were also very valuable.
He looks like he comes from a wealthy family.
"I got it first, and it's in my hand now. How can you prove you saw it first?"
"I saw it first, give it back to me." She cried, her eyes red.
The boss also quietly reminded Mo Tingzhu: "Sir, this is the daughter of an important person. Please give her the lantern. There are other kinds of lanterns on the stall. You can choose whatever you like."
"No, I got it first, so I won't give it to you."
After saying that, he gave the money directly.
The boss held the money in his hand like a hot potato: "Sir, please don't make things difficult for me. I just run a small business and I really can't afford to lose money."
"You said she was the daughter of a big shot. Which big shot was it?"
"This is the daughter of the Minister of War. She has such a precious daughter. She loves her like a jewel. All the vendors on this street recognize her."
"So he's the Minister of War. I'm not afraid of him. If you want to cause trouble, just come and get me. If he wants to make things difficult for you, just go to the Prince of Anping's mansion and find me."
"You, you are?"
"Don't worry about who I am. Anyway, I'm not afraid of him. I'm not afraid of offending him, and he still has to respect me."
The boss was about to exclaim when Mo Tingzhu interrupted him: "Shh, don't reveal my identity."
"Yes, yes, thank you very much." The boss immediately smiled happily, looking at the large ingot of silver in his hand, his smile was so wide that his teeth and eyes were not visible.
This person is more important, so I don’t have to worry about offending big shots.
Mo Tingzhu turned around and wanted to leave, but a small hand grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Can you sell this to me? I want this too." The little girl's eyes were red, revealing desire.
"No, I won't sell it no matter how much money you offer."
Tang Wan couldn't bear to watch it anymore and walked over quickly: "She's still a little girl, why bother with her? If she likes it, just give it to her."
"How can I not give it to you?"
"Brother, why are you like this? This beautiful sister said she could give her to me, and you are so stingy!" The little girl pouted and big tears flowed down her face.
"No! If you like something else, I can buy it for you." Mo Tingzhu did not give in at all.
