Chapter 162 Watch the Lanterns!
By the time the four of them left the restaurant and strolled down the street, night had already fallen...
Various lanterns are hung on both sides of the not-too-wide street, and street vendors greet the customers coming and going with bright smiles on their faces.
Fang Yuanqi, who was whispering with Nan Xi, was suddenly attracted by the exquisite little accessories on a stall not far away.
"Sister..." Fang Yuanqi turned around and was about to ask Mu Lingshuang if she wanted to go over and take a look.
Mu Lingshuang had already walked over, holding her hand.
There were quite a lot of people at the temple fair, and they were afraid of being squeezed apart if they didn't hold hands.
The peddler selling small accessories saw a customer coming and quickly greeted him:
"Sir, would you like to buy a hairpin for your wife?"
Fang Yuanqi shook his head, pointed to the two jade pendants in front of him, and asked:
"How much are these two jade pendants?"
"Young Master, you have a really good eye..."
Qin Feng, who was following behind the two of them, curled his lips. Okay, the boss is fooling people again...
Hearing the price quoted by the boss, Qin Feng said in his heart, "As expected."
Can a jade pendant of this quality be worth five taels of silver?
She could buy three for one tael of silver, but her victim bought two for ten taels of silver just because the other party said they were a good match.
What a waste!
Mu Lingshuang was unaware of Qin Feng's inner complaints. She looked at Fang Yuanqi who was bending down to hang the jade pendant around her waist and smiled like a silly girl from a landlord's family.
These two jade pendants can be put together or separated.
When put together, it is a whole piece of rabbit-gazing-at-the-moon jade pendant. When separated, it becomes two pieces of jade pendants, one in the shape of a little rabbit and the other in the shape of a crescent moon.
Fang Yuanqi hung the crescent-shaped half jade pendant around her waist, and Mu Lingshuang also lowered her head and hung the rabbit-shaped jade pendant around Fang Yuanqi's waist.
This way, Yuan Qi's jade pendant can look at me every day, which makes me happy just thinking about it.
Mu Lingshuang felt from the bottom of her heart that the ten taels of silver were well worth it!
While Jiang Yuwan and Nan Xi were choosing jade pendants, they went hand in hand to buy a string of candied haws not far away. They ate while walking, and then disappeared after a while. Only a soft and sticky voice could be heard faintly:
"Sister Wan, can't you buy another one? Why are you stealing mine..."
I couldn't hear what Jiang Yuwan said. Under the moonlight, the two of them walked away...
Fang Yuanqi, attracted by the wide variety of small commodities on the stalls, didn't even notice that the two had left. His shining black eyes swept over the stalls on both sides of the road. When he saw the colorful masks on the stall not far away, he pulled Mu Lingshuang and shouted excitedly:
"Sister, look! They're selling masks over there!"
Mu Lingshuang looked in the direction of her finger and immediately fell in love with a white bunny mask, which she felt was particularly suitable for the little girl.
She's so soft and looks easy to bully...
"Which one does Yuanqi like?" Mu Lingshuang asked, but her eyes were fixed on the little rabbit mask, wanting her to choose this one.
Fang Yuanqi rolled his eyes and did not choose directly. Instead, he shook Mu Lingshuang's sleeve and said:
"Sister, choose first!"
Mu Lingshuang's eyes swept over the masks one by one, and she reached out and took a big bad wolf mask.
Looking at the big bad wolf mask in his hand, Mu Lingshuang nodded with satisfaction. The big bad wolf loves to eat little white rabbits, and this one is just right for him.
But Fang Yuanqi, who was supposed to choose the little white rabbit mask, reached out to the tiger mask next to him.
Just when he was about to catch him, he was stopped by Mu Lingshuang.
Fang Yuanqi looked up at Mu Lingshuang in confusion, not knowing what she was going to do.
Facing Fang Yuanqi's puzzled eyes, Mu Lingshuang cleared his throat and said seriously:
"This one doesn't suit you. Take this one..."
Mu Lingshuang was about to take the little rabbit's mask as she spoke, but her outstretched hand was also stopped by Fang Yuanqi.
"I don't want that, I want this!" Fang Yuanqi responded decisively, his tone extremely firm.
Facing Fang Yuanqi who suddenly became stubborn for some unknown reason, Mu Lingshuang sighed helplessly and coaxed him softly:
"Yuan Qi, be good..."
"Not good!" Fang Yuanqi shook his head and looked at Mu Lingshuang maliciously, "I want this tiger. If the big tiger is unhappy, it will eat the little gray wolf!"
Mu Lingshuang: “…”
Well, she has become a "little gray wolf".
Mu Lingshuang shook her head helplessly, but she still didn't give up on the little white rabbit. She put the three masks together and asked the vendor:
"how much is the total?"
When the vendor saw that she wanted to buy something, he immediately smiled and said:
"Madam, you have good taste!"
"If you buy all three, I'll give you two a discount. Give me fifty copper coins total!"
"I usually sell them for twenty copper coins each! Since the young master and the young master are such a good match, I'll give them a discount..."
Qin Feng: "..."
Okay, here we go again!
There is no need to think about it, the master will definitely agree as soon as he hears good words.
Sure enough, the next moment the master spoke with a smile.
"Qin Feng, give me money!"
"Yes!" Qin Feng sighed, took out fifty copper coins, and then under the gaze of the vendor, blatantly took out another fox mask and prepared to go back and give it to Sister Wan'er.
The vendor glanced at Qin Feng who was taking out the money and said nothing.
The mask cost five copper coins each, but she sold it for fifty copper coins from the three of them. He couldn't charge any more for the mask, otherwise he would feel guilty.
After Mu Lingshuang put on the big bad wolf mask, she wanted to give the little rabbit mask to Fang Yuanqi. Fang Yuanqi struggled to stop her and then put on the tiger mask he had chosen.
Mu Lingshuang looked at the remaining little white rabbit mask in her hand, turned slightly sideways, and muttered unhappily in Fang Yuanqi's ear:
"The Big Bad Wolf is going to eat the little tiger tonight!"
Fang Yuanqi: "..."
She knew that Mu Lingshuang had bad intentions. She was not a little tiger, she was a big tiger, a big tiger that could eat a big bad wolf when hungry! ! !
The big tiger was led by the little gray wolf to buy two lanterns and go to the river to set them off together.
There were already quite a few people by the river, most of them had written words on the lanterns. Some were praying for longevity, some were praying for high school, and some were praying for their parents at home. As the lit lanterns floated away one by one, the river surface was brightly lit.
Looking at Fang Yuanqi who was lowering his head to write, Mu Lingshuang approached curiously and asked:
"What are you going to write?"
"This is a secret, I won't show it to you!" Fang Yuanqi said, then lit the lantern in his hand and put it into the water.
Mu Lingshuang shook her head, picked up the pen and wrote the big words "May this happen in every life", then lit the lantern in her hand and put it into the water.
After releasing the lanterns, the two bought a lot of small items and left reluctantly until it was getting dark.
Mu Lingshuang looked at Fang Yuanqi who was still unsatisfied and said with a smile:
"Okay, we can still come out and play tomorrow!"
"Yeah." Fang Yuanqi nodded, and became happy again when he thought that he could go out and play again tomorrow.
Looking at the happy little girl jumping around, Mu Lingshuang's hand unconsciously stroked the little rabbit mask in her hand, and the smile in her eyes gradually deepened...
A little rabbit is still a little rabbit after all. Even if it puts on a tiger's mask, it can never become a tiger.
However, Mu Lingshuang took pity on her because she was too tired these days, so she didn't do anything too excessive at night.
Seeing the little girl crying so pitifully, Mu Lingshuang softened her heart and let her go.
Fang Yuanqi, who was easily let off, looked at his wife in disbelief, wondering if she was switched because there were too many people at night.
After all, her wife had never been so considerate at night.
The suspected Mu Lingshuang sneered and approached again...
After being taught a lesson through actions, Fang Yuanqi finally calmed down... He hugged his wife's arm pitifully, buried his head in her softness, and fell asleep sobbing.
Mu Lingshuang looked at his wife's aggrieved face in her sleep, feeling helpless and a little amused.
She had clearly let the person go, but the little girl still came to provoke her. Now she is tired again...
Mu Lingshuang's mood was very complicated at the moment. She couldn't tell whether she was proud or distressed...
