Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 129 Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival
Lu Mingyan and He Shaoguang said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they would go to the night market with Hua Shaotang and the others.He was a little apprehensive, worried that his mother would be sad because of this.

Unexpectedly, He Shaoguang happily agreed, and told him to take Adu with him so that he wouldn't have to come back so early, and he could visit the night market in Jinling City more with his friends.

"Kong Wen'an's younger sister will also go together, and I want to bring Ming Zhen with me so that she can meet some new friends."

He deliberately asked Kong Wen'an to bring out his younger sister Kong Yunqiu so that he could take Lu Mingzhen away smoothly.

"If you want to play with the little girl, let's go together, don't get lost, let Adu watch."

I should get to know more people of the same age and go out to have fun, otherwise what is the difference from staying in the mansion?
"What about you?" Lu Xiaowen asked him.

She didn't respond, so she let out an ah.

"I mean, do you want to go out and visit the lantern festival too?"

He Shaoguang was a little moved: "Okay, I heard that there is a festival of making light boats here, so let's go to the countryside to do as the Romans do."

Both of them were dressed like ordinary wealthy people. This time, He Shaoguang did not make Lu Xiaowen wait for two hours like when he went out for the first time.

On a whim, she combed a double-snail bun, which is a popular bun among women in Jinling nowadays. It looks like two snail shells coiled on both sides of the top of the head, which is extremely cute.

She was struggling with what hair accessories to wear, Lu Xiaowen came over, rummaged through her dowry box, and finally picked up a pair of pink and white pearl beads, gestured on her head, and said with satisfaction: "Wear this instead." .”

Compared with those gorgeous gold ornaments, He Shaoguang has more silver ornaments and pearls.

Lu Xiaowen didn't understand why she didn't like to wear gold jewelry at first, but after getting used to it, she thought it was just right.

Gold or something, it will be more sensible to wear it when she gets older.

The pink and tender He Shaoguang turned around in satisfaction, expressing that she was ready: "Let's go."

When he went out on the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Shaoguang really saw the prosperity of Jinling City.

Lanterns of various colors have long been hung on the street, which is called "vertical Mid-Autumn Festival".Whether it is an official or a poor family, they will worship the moon and worship the gods on this day, or go out to release water lanterns, praying for their wishes to come true, and attach great importance to it.

There were so many people on the street that He Shaoguang was almost pushed forward.

Men, women and children crowded together in front to guess lantern riddles, and if they guessed correctly, they could get six eggs for free, so there were a lot of people at that booth.

"Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, whenever there is such a gift, eggs are the most popular." After finally breaking through the crowd, he squeezed into a slightly empty booth, and He Shaoguang's temple hair was slightly messed up.

She raised her hands to tidy up, but there were always a few mischievous strands of hair sticking to her face, which were itchy and made her sneeze.

She simply stroked back, and instantly her entire forehead was refreshed.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaowen silently withdrew the hand that was going to tidy up for her.

The two continued to walk forward side by side, separated by a certain distance, and were almost washed away by the flow of people again.

He Shaoguang staggered a bit, and was firmly supported by a pair of hands. Lu Xiaowen's steady voice came from his ear: "Be careful, hold me."

There were bustling and noisy voices beside my ears, and my hands were grasped by his slightly rough hands, which had been practicing martial arts all the year round, and my senses were infinitely magnified.

He Shaoguang wondered in his heart whether he had never held hands before, and it hurt a little to hold hands so tightly.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiaowen couldn't help asking when she saw that she was no longer chattering beside her as before.

Are you shy holding hands?

He Shaoguang pretended to be calm: "Find a place to sit down, I'm hungry now."

Lu Xiaowen took a good look at her. She just ate a big bowl of jelly before going out. How long has she been hungry again?

He didn't expose her, and didn't let her go. He found a restaurant that still had room, went in and sat upstairs.

This restaurant has three floors, and there is just a window seat on the third floor.Sitting here, He Shaoguang could see the lights and pedestrians below, and the entire Jinling City was brightly lit.

The excitement is real, but looking at the crowded situation below, I didn't feel it just now, but now I see that it is really dangerous.

This street is just like a slope. When they came, they walked down from a high place. The particularly crowded section was in the middle. A large group of people surrounded a stall, and only two people could pass through the street with a close distance .

The trip just now, if Lu Xiaowen hadn't caught her in time, if she really fell, the people behind might step on her, causing her to die or be disabled.

There are also some larger lanterns hanging on the lamp stands. The lanterns are made of paper and the lamp stands are made of wood. If the wind blows, they can easily ignite and cause a fire.

The more she thought about it, the more she broke into a cold sweat, praying that people would not fall or walk in the water.

This restaurant is famous for its salted duck.

Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival and sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, his salted duck is stewed with sweet-scented osmanthus sauce, also known as sweet-scented osmanthus duck.

The salted duck has the best color and taste at this meeting. The duck skin is white and the meat is tender. The sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance is strong, the taste is sweet and salty, fat but not greasy, and the taste is delicious.

It is a delicacy that can only be tasted during the period around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Just now He Shaoguang said that he was hungry was just an excuse, but now he actually growled when facing such a dish of duck.

She moved her index finger and ate it into her mouth, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

Outside the window is the nightfall, the lights of thousands of houses, and the candles inside the window are orange, and a person sitting opposite is watching her eat seriously.Days like this gave her a little more sense of belonging here.

After eating and drinking enough, the two returned to the street, and He Shaoguang got excited and went to one place to guess lantern riddles with them.

"Looking up at the bright moon" she gently read the words on the palace lantern.

The stall owner saw that she was a beautiful young lady, with a warm attitude: "Miss, guess what? It doesn't matter if you guess wrong, if you guess three times in a row, this rabbit lamp will be given to you to play with."

He Shaoguang smiled slyly, "Then you're at a loss, I'll guess ten, and if you're all right, can you give me that lotus lantern?"

The stall owner took a look at the biggest lantern. He had placed it here for a whole day, but no one could win.

The little lady had a serious tone, he smiled and said: "If you can guess ten questions in a row, you can choose any one."

"Then I can remember."

"Look up at the bright moon, take some medicinal herbs, girl please?"

"Bow your head and think about your hometown, Angelica!" She has a lot of ideas.

"Fifteenth moon, make an idiom."

"Fair and fair?" He Shaoguang thought for a while, not sure.

"By the way, the girl is amazing." After answering two simple questions in a row, the stall owner gave her an appreciative glance, and continued: "A pair of bright moons are not damaged, and they fall on the left and right sides of the mountain, and type a word."

"Broken word."

"With the moon in the water, type an idiom."

"Pearl in the palm."

"A crescent moon shines on the branches, and two stars hang in the sky. I still type one word. Girl, it's the last one. This is the most difficult."

She answered nine lantern riddles in succession for the stall owner, sweating his brow and trying to come up with a difficult one.
