146. The Fifth Retirement World [18]

"two!"

"Stop, stop, stop! I want to see it!" Yan Xuan was anxious.

Zeng Shu chuckled. Sure enough, he was still a little kid who hadn't grown up yet, so easy to deceive.

Zeng Shu looked embarrassed, as if she was showing mercy, "Okay, you? Come forward."

Yan Xuan is as obedient as a little cat.

"Wow! So many delicious foods!" Yan Xuan exclaimed.

The snacks in the box were still steaming hot. Yan Xuan just put her head up and smelled bursts of aroma. Yan Xuan narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.

Zeng Shu felt even more proud when she heard Yan Xuan's compliment without even a hint of compliment.

She personally prepared these foods to make today's plan perfect.

Of course, the food box is not just the one in front of you. Zeng Shu had people prepare several boxes in total, so it doesn't hurt to take out one or two boxes at this time.

"Eat it if you want." Zeng Shu said cheerfully.

"I never thought you... Mr. Zeng, you are still such a warm-hearted person." Yan Xuan took a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth, and said while eating happily.

Zeng Shu twitched the corners of her eyes.

What do you mean by that? Don’t you just feed him something? Isn’t that a warm-hearted thing?

Zeng Shu simply stopped looking at the unfortunate thing in front of her, and her eyes gradually turned behind Yan Xuan.

Zeng Shu has been the focus of others' eyes since she was a child, and she is used to it.

But she found that although Mr. Yan was here, his mind was not on her at all.

The man stood in the crowd, wearing light green clothes, his eyes fell into the void in the distance, as if he was looking at the surrounding furnishings, or looking at the starry night in the distance in a wistful state.

What was he thinking?

Zeng Shu was a little curious.

…

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

From the shadows on the street, a little child jumped out of nowhere.

He held a bamboo pole in his hand. The top of the bamboo pole was tied with a string of jade-white shells with bright red silk satin, and the golden copper bell inside made a clear and lively sound.

Yan Ling withdrew his gaze again, looking at the scene in front of him with slightly raised eyebrows.

And in the place where he had just paid attention a few times, the vendors who were just setting up shop suddenly seemed to have received instructions. They all acted in unison and took out lanterns from behind and hung them on the street. Pave the front.

There were already many vendors on the streets today, but within a few seconds, the streets were filled with lanterns.

The passers-by who were wandering around on the street were all surprised. Some of them were asking people around them if today was an important day, otherwise why would the scene be so grand?

Even though the lanterns have not been lit yet, everyone present can't help but imagine what a grand scene will be in front of them when the lights on the street are lit up in an instant.

Yan Ling noticed that Zeng Shu was walking towards the center of the street.

Needless to say, today's scene must have been created by Zeng Shu.

No wonder she was sure that there would be a lantern festival on the street today, because all the lanterns at the lantern festival were ordered by her.

As for what? Yan Ling didn't? He had already thought of it without thinking deeply.

Zeng Shu is a woman. For whom would a woman spend so much time and hope for someone?

He had indeed been walking behind her just now. Unfortunately, his eyes were really good. He didn't miss the girl's clenched fingers or her gaze that kept looking back.

Coupled with the meaning of the painting on the lantern, it is difficult not to let him know who Zeng Shu is waiting for.

Old God Yan Ling stayed where he was.

As an outsider, I don't know how many times I have seen the modern confession scene. Although he doesn't care, every time he has a faint blessing for those people in his heart.

Perhaps it was because he had known Zeng Shu first, and coupled with his mental age, a sense of scrutiny arose in his heart unknowingly.

"Brother, why did Mr. Zeng suddenly leave?" Yan Xuan suddenly found that the place where the person was standing beside him was empty.

"Maybe I met someone I know." Yan Ling didn't intend to explain clearly.

"Oh, that's right. I originally wanted to say thank you to him."

"It doesn't matter. It'll be too late if we meet you next time." There's also a chance we won't meet each other. After all, the time of a girl who falls in love is already fully booked. Who has time to wander alone on the street boredly.

Yan Ling complained secretly in his heart.

Yan Xuan frowned, "That's okay."

"Hey, brother! Why is the appearance next to us suddenly changed?" Yan Xu seemed to have just noticed the changes around her, and her eyes opened wider.

"So there are really lanterns today."

Yan Xuan pointed to the lanterns in one direction, "But why are there either a man and a woman on these lanterns, or in pairs?"

"I remember brother, you once said that there is a disease in the world called obsessive-compulsive disorder. Are people who can draw these lanterns one of them?" Yan Xuan's eyes were full of disgust.

After her last porcelain creation, Yan Xuan felt that she had quite a lot of experience in art creation.

There is nothing good-looking about anything that is quite regular and symmetrical. In his eyes, it is vulgar. Only things whose shapes are full of individuality are the most beautiful.

Yan Ling was almost amused by his younger brother's childish words.

"Ahem... No? If you can speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

"Did I say something wrong?" Yan Xuan didn't understand.

"As long as you remember, don't say these words in front of Mr. Zeng." As an elder brother, Yan Ling felt that he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous.

"Master Zeng?"

"It's none of his business..." Yan Xuan suddenly looked up. He looked at his elder brother with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Zeng Shu who was walking away with a shocked expression.

"Me me me me! He he he he! Brother!"

"Brother, what do you mean?" Yan Xuan didn't care about the food in her hands, looking like she was greatly shocked.

So many dramas are really not in vain, "Master Zeng? Is there still a girl he admires?"

Yan Ling looked at his silly younger brother and felt a hint of disgust in his heart.

He tilted his head and said vaguely, "That's pretty much it."

"No, I can't believe it. It's really unbelievable. Even though Mr. Zeng has such a bad temper, he actually has a girl he likes. Will the girl reject her later?" Yan Xuan? I scratched my head and felt that the world had changed.

"You just ate something from her." Yan Ling looked at the dregs of cakes in his hands, shook his head, sighed, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his hands clean.

Yan Xuan's face turned red.

"Brother, you are right. Maybe there is a girl like Zhu Yingtai in this world. Maybe people like someone as rich and bad-tempered like Ma Wencai."

"Ah, what is this called? Brother said that everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables." Yan Xuan nodded and affirmed.

Yan Ling:......

Yan Ling wanted to stuff Yan Xuan's mouth.

Stupid brother talks too much!

…

As soon as he finds the eldest son of the Li family walking down this street, he will start planning.

This was the order she gave from the beginning.

Zeng Shu's heart was beating hard.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Every sound made her feel as if her heart would jump out of her chest the next moment.

From a distance, Zeng Shu recognized that figure with just one glance.

Since childhood, Zeng Shu knew that she had a future consort. This was a marriage that God had bound for her before she was born.

She is still a child now, only twelve years old, but her mother also said a few days ago that she is no longer a child, and her thirteenth birthday will be in one month.

Sixteen years old is the age at which women from Yanyu Kingdom can get married.

Zeng Shu had two older sisters, and she had seen how her sisters got along with their consort. The feeling was very strange, not like the loving couple in the story, but more like the relationship between a monarch and his ministers.

Zeng Shu doesn't need such a person, and her brother Lu is definitely not like those consorts from her sisters, who have no ambitions and only know how to eat, drink and have fun.

Brother Lu said when he was a child that he liked a free life, and life in the Li Mansion made him feel depressed.

Compared to the intrigues he grew up with, he prefers to be as comfortable as a hermit among the mountains and rivers, naturally and carefree.

So when the maid asked her what she wanted for the painting on the lantern, she immediately thought of White Crane and Fish.

——"If brother Lu doesn't want to be an official when he grows up, then what does he want to do?"

——"I don't know, but I envy the white cranes in the sky and the fish swimming in the water. If my future can be like them, my wish will be fulfilled."

——"I said mine, but what about the princess's wish?"

——"Brother Lu's wish is my wish. One day, I will definitely let Brother Lu achieve his wish!"

The lonely crane flying in the sky was too desolate, so she ordered each painting to be painted in pairs.

The first lantern was lit.

On the white tissue paper, two light-colored figures sit and talk by the stream.

Then came the second, third...

Boundless grassland, horses trampling and singing.

The vast sky is full of paper kites.

…

As more and more lanterns were lit, Zeng Shu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

…

The crowd moved closer, and the two Yan Ling brothers also moved forward.

"Brother, what do you think the person Mr. Zeng likes looks like?" Yan Xuan whispered.

Yan Ling had originally guessed that this young master Zeng was either the third princess of the current dynasty or the princess of Handan County. However, because the previous Princess Hanshan was "famous" and today, Having already met him, the identity of Mr. Zeng is naturally obvious.

The third princess of Yanyu Kingdom?.

Who can be the princess? The consort? Zuo Bu? They are just people in high positions.

However, looking at the look of expectation on the little princess's face, the future prince-in-law must be pretty good-looking, and no matter how good he is, he still has some strengths, otherwise he would not be able to treat the little princess. The girl is so obsessed with her.

"Is the light on? You'll see it soon."

He gently rubbed his eyes with his left hand. He was a little tired after walking so much today.

After this excitement is over, he will take Yan Xuan home.

Yan Xuan stared closely at the intersection in the distance.

In this way, it was as if he was the infatuated girl waiting for the handsome man to appear.

"big……"

Yan Xuan was about to scream, but she reacted, lowered her voice, and stretched her fluffy little head next to Yan Ling.

It's like being a thief.

"Brother, is that right? Is he that person?" Yan Xuan pointed to the black figure in the distance.

Yan Ling also looked over.

"No? That's not right, that figure is too big, how could it be a girl. Even if Mr. Zeng likes a girl older than him, this figure doesn't fit." Yan Xuan denied it again.

Yan Ling wanted to roll his eyes.

Just when Yan Ling was waiting for Yan Xuan to be slapped in the face, Yan Xuan suddenly jumped up,

"Brother, look! Aren't these two people? The ones who eavesdropped on our conversation during the day!"
