NOVEL WEB Chapter 156
Chapter 156 – Take Out The Lights
Chapter 156 Seizing the Lamp
Looking at the serious face in front of him, Jiang Changning felt unspeakable guilt.
Those desperate truths are becoming more and more difficult to tell.
She couldn’t tell him that she was dead, not of the same world as him. There is no way to tell him that this is just a false dream. And his body may even be just a touch of Qin Huaisu’s consciousness or a small obsession.
This dream will shatter, and then he too will disappear.
Jiang Changning felt pain in his heart until he was suffocated, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes, and he walked out with Qin Huaisu holding hands.
The two of them did not ride horses anymore, and walked along the long street along the surging crowd, like a pair of newlyweds in an ordinary household.
“Eat wontons! Hot and fragrant wontons! Would you like a serving?”
The wonton stalls on the side of the road were steaming hot, and the steaming aroma was overflowing. The little second-hand bottom was busy and greeted outside.
“Want to eat?” Qin Huaisu lowered his head while holding Rou Yi in his hand.
“Can you?” They didn’t have dinner when they came out, and they felt a little hungry after walking for a while. Jiang Changning was a little moved by the smell coming from there, but thinking of Qin Huaisu’s Identity hesitated for a moment.
Qin Huaisu didn’t care about those, for him, no status or status was worth the time spent with Jiang Changning.
“Xiao Er, here are two bowls of wontons.”
“Come on! Wait a minute, officer!”
…
The two found a table in the corner and sat down, looking at the rough and dilapidated tables, chairs and benches, which were cleaned up very cleanly. Calm down and lean on your chin to watch the street scene.
“The jade chariot crosses the main house, and the golden whips flow to the Hou family. The dragon bears the treasure and covers the sun, and the phoenix spits tassels to bring the sunset.”
The street is very lively with lights and festoons, the sound of hawking one after another, and the cars of princes and nobles are in an endless stream on the street. The gorgeous car cover carved with exquisite auspicious clouds and hanging tassels swayed with clear waves as the horseshoes clattered forward. The faces of the merchants who open their doors to solicit business are full of affluence, and the girls who come and go come and go with scented powder and exquisite attire, holding a round fan in their hand and covering their faces lightly when they laugh…
“Guest officer, here comes the wonton—”
The wontons on the square table are emitting heat, the thin skin is crystal clear, and the meat filling is clearly visible. A handful of dried shrimps are sprinkled on top, and the green shallots float in the chicken soup, which makes people move their index fingers.
Jiang Changning took a spoon to scoop up a thin-skinned wonton and tasted it. The delicious taste made her eyes light up.
“Is it delicious?” Qin Huaisu did not move yet, admiring Jiang Changning’s lively expression with great interest.
Jiang Changning swallowed the wonton in his mouth, squinted his eyes and thought about it for a moment, then nodded with bright eyes, “En!”.
Qin Huaisu looked at her with a smile, leaned forward and swallowed the half wonton left on her spoon, “It’s delicious.”
…
“You—” Jiang Changning was a little shy, and the tips of his ears were hot. The only response to her was Qin Huaisu’s smile that burst from his chest.
Jiang Changning blushed half of his face, held the spoon in a daze for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly looked around to confirm that no one had noticed before turning back quickly.
Fortunately, it is rare for ordinary people to see the two of them, and the lights here are dim, and everyone is attracted by the noise on the road.
Qin Huaisu didn’t look aside, he scooped a wonton from his own bowl to hers with a spoon, with a smile on his eyes and brows: “Give me back one.”
At this moment, a colored light on Jiang Changning’s head lit up, and a bright yellow circle of light was reflected on top of her head. She raised her eyes to see, and the warm light shone on her face, flickering on and off, illuminating her Slender eyelashes and a delicate nose bridge.
All charming thoughts were gone, Qin Huaisu’s entire attention was focused on the person in front of him, the lights were dim, only Jiang Changning was as beautiful as a bright moon, making others pale in comparison.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Changning lowered his head and saw Qin Huaisu staring at her for a moment, his eyes wide open.
Qin Huaisu reached out and hooked the tip of her nose, and said in a warm voice, “It’s okay, eat quickly, and take you to the flower boat after eating.”
Flower boat…
Hearing these words, Jiang Changning felt as if he had passed away. In this life, the flower boat was still in good condition, and he hadn’t experienced villains or been blown up.
…
Jiang Changning walked in with Qin Huaisu, the flower boat was still the same as it was before, and the exquisite and luxurious landscaping filled the ears.
On the second floor, there is a beautiful woman hiding behind a screen and playing the pipa. The sound is as clear as flowing water, and the people below are fascinated by the sound.
In a peaceful environment, Jiang Changning suddenly heard the old man’s name.
“This actor’s pipa skills are superb, even better than the top girl Chun Ying.”
“The top card? Are you referring to the girl Chun Ying who went to the General’s Mansion two years ago?”
“Exactly. That actor was really lucky. He was favored by General Shen, and he was born in a humble family and married into the General’s residence.”
“Where is the blessing?! She fell out of favor as soon as she married. I heard that General Shen lived in the barracks for a long time and rarely returned to the mansion. After marrying, she was just a widow and watched the door of the general’s mansion.”
“There is such a thing? What a pity…”
…
Jiang Changning listened to the gossip, but she didn’t know that in her previous life, Chun Ying married into the General’s Mansion. Although she got together less and left more, Chun Ying did have a real status, so it was like her wishes.
It’s just that only she knows the ups and downs of it.
Today’s Lantern Festival, most of them naturally come here for the color.
Jiang Changning’s eyes inevitably fell on the lantern hanging in the main hall. It was square and square, with a small golden flower carved in the hollow and two grinning blue dragons engraved on it. It was so vibrant and beautiful. There used to be a group of old people who showed their talents in Ci and archery here. Later, the lantern often hung by her bedside, accompanying her day and night.
Qin Huaisu noticed Jiang Changning’s gaze, thought she wanted it, and asked in a low voice, “Like it?”
Jiang Changning pursed his lips and nodded. This lamp has been with her for a long time and has experienced a lot. It is of great significance. It is a bit sad to meet her again now. To her, it is not just a delicately shaped lantern.
Qin Huaisu waved his hand, and a handsome young man trotted over. Jiang Changning also recognized this man. He was the man she had seen following Chun Ying. She never thought that he was also on this flower boat in the last life.
“What are your orders?”
“How do you get this lantern?” Qin Huaisu asked him.
“My lord has good eyesight. This lamp is handed down by Master Mu. He has collected all his life’s skills and painstaking efforts. It is placed on the flower boat this time, just to pass it on to those who are destined.”
